I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Boudibaoge was seriously injured.

Li Yue didn't know what the Lord of Brains had experienced last night. When Li Yue used his thoughts to sense Boudibaoge's outline, he was shocked to find that the back of the dark brown brain was covered with tiny bite marks, making the already lumpy brain even more irregular. Brain fluid mixed with blood dripped from the fragmented wounds, quickly solidifying upon contact with the ground, forming a mass of rotten mud.

The many corpses that originally surrounded Boudibaoge were also tattered, with bizarre injuries. Some had half their bodies torn away, with only their ankles fused with Boudibaoge, most of their bodies dragging on the ground. Others seemed to have had their brains exploded, then tightly wrapped in human skin, oozing a fishy, foul-smelling fluid…

What surprised Li Yue the most was that the gladiator who initially chased the fleeing brain was also there—the gladiator with the long whip and human skin, always accompanied by three vicious dogs, the Colosseum elite ranked 281st, "Slave Master" Bodecoli.

However, Bodecoli's eyes were rolled back, and his lower body had been completely absorbed by Boudibaoge into the lower part of the brain. The small human head was dragged across the uneven ground, colliding gently and making a dull "thud" sound.

As for the three vicious dogs, their skulls were all collapsed and their cheeks shattered, completely sharing the upper body, like a three-headed dog from hell. Their mouths were weakly twisted, their tongues half-extended, as if they had died inside Boudibaoge's body.

Sensing Boudibaoge's miserable state, Li Yue imagined a great battle that took place in the Colosseum last night—the Lord of Brains, Boudibaoge, was packaged as an ordinary brain from the library and pitted against the gladiator ranked 281st, "Slave Master" Bodecoli. Then, amidst the vicious dogs' bites and the long whip's lashes, Boudibaoge killed Bodecoli and won the night's victory.

But he didn't know whether Bodecoli was forced to be absorbed into Boudibaoge's body, or whether some negative effects during the battle caused Boudibaoge to be unable to control his own form at this moment. Blood oozed from the brain grooves, and many blood blisters bulged out, like a mass of mud floating in mid-air after fusing countless grievances and pains.

"You go… summon all the brains… to here… to my side…" Boudibaoge crashed to the ground, lying across the entrance of the seventh library and the stairs leading to the lower level.

Li Yue was surprised and uncertain—what did the 1444 points of malice represent? Boudibaoge's words were not directed at Li Yue, but included all the brains…

Combining the Lord of Brains' current injuries, Li Yue could easily guess that Boudibaoge wanted to use the sixty brains in the library to heal himself.

Although Li Yue didn't know what method Boudibaoge would use, he guessed that the sixty brains would not have a good end, and the malice prompt seemed to prove this point.

"Go…" Boudibaoge didn't lose his will or ability to act. Seeing the brain in front of him stunned, the thought force that enveloped Li Yue's fragile body suddenly strengthened, instantly throwing Li Yue towards the lower-level stairs.

Just like casually throwing away a piece of trash.

At the same time, Li Yue felt a powerful, irresistible thought emerge in his mind: "Notify all the brains on the lower level of the library to come here."

Li Yue was horrified by Boudibaoge's mental abilities, knowing that although he was seriously injured, he still crushed himself in terms of thought power level. Without the protection of the Self-Healing Bone, Boudibaoge only needed a small thought to twist himself into meat paste.

And that "thought" was even more terrifying to Li Yue—even knowing that the thought was imposed on him by Boudibaoge, he couldn't generate the slightest will to resist, and subconsciously followed its instructions…

Was this because Boudibaoge was a higher-level existence than himself? Or was this "thought" itself… some kind of ability of the Lord of Brains?

Li Yue couldn't even control his body. Under the drive of that "thought", he floated downstairs without hesitation, heading straight to the library's hall.

In the library hall, the brains, Mini Mini, and the slave scholars had already started their day's work. The Book Demon was still in that seemingly sleeping state, but it had a slight reaction the moment Li Yue moved into the hall. The entire book rustled and flipped, as if sensing Boudibaoge's will.

"All brains… go to the entrance of the seventh library…" Li Yue involuntarily transmitted the thought to all the brains in the hall. Immediately afterward, he sensed the "thought" fluctuations that had been imparted to his mind spread out and fall into the bodies of the remaining fifty-nine brains.

Thoughts… are contagious!

The Book Demon's pages suddenly closed, tacitly approving Boudibaoge's arrangement. Mini Mini and the slave scholars couldn't feel the Lord of Brains' thoughts. In surprise, they saw the brains that were originally transmitting knowledge floating into the air, all floating towards the stairs on the lower level of the library…

Li Yue was naturally among them, but with a moment of hesitation, his brain grooves trembled slightly, desperately resisting Boudibaoge's will.

Thinking about how the sixty brains would be resurrected every morning, Li Yue could now truly "imagine" a scene—Boudibaoge wriggling his rotten mud-like body, slowly merging the sixty brains into himself; and that body, constantly overflowing with a fishy, foul smell, gradually healing, the dark brown Lord of Brains floating up again.

That was a deep-seated fear—knowing that it wasn't his own will, but his body wouldn't obey, as if he had become a spectator, or as if he was living in a lucid dream…

And the end of the dream was very likely death.

Must escape… Li Yue勉力争夺起了身体的控制权 — — 念头 在 被 均 分 了 六十份 之 后 有 所 减弱 ， 李阅 虽然 没有 办法 完全 夺回 身体 ， 但能 通过 不断 地拉扯 ， 减慢 去 往 第七藏书室 的 速度 。

What to do next?

Li Yue regretted not bringing the bone sword down just now, otherwise, he should be able to help make a fulcrum to block it?

Then Li Yue immediately thought that he should make some obstacles and interrupt from the outside—Li Yue followed the brains to the middle stairs of the library, while his entire brain trembled at a very strange frequency, like a slightly stuck rag.

Leaving the hall, trailing at the end of the brain team, Li Yue suddenly summoned Scourge's bones, wanting to manipulate his hands to grab the wall crevices and avoid the misfortune of going upstairs with the brains to die.

However, the thought had just arisen when it was immediately washed away by Boudibaoge's will, so Li Yue dragged a string of slender skeletons onto the steps, unable to even move a finger.

Discovering that Boudibaoge's "thought" was irresistible, Li Yue racked his brains, just wanting to deviate a little bit and get stuck between the stair handrails…

But the brains' route didn't waver, Li Yue failed again, and had already reached the middle of the stairs.

Hide…

Forced to, Li Yue withdrew the Self-Healing Bone, wanting to use Mento's "Stealth" blessing to disappear from Boudibaoge's perception.

But this idea had just arisen when it was erased by Boudibaoge's thought.

"Come here… to my side…" The Lord of Brains' voice resonated in the minds of all the brains.

Damn it… coming, coming… who's afraid of who…

Li Yue gave up resisting that "thought", and instead focused all his thoughts on the "Summon" button of the Demon Illustrated Handbook, struggling like a trapped beast.

However, at this moment, two pairs of soft little hands grabbed Li Yue's body, pulling this brain that was approaching the abyss back and holding him tightly in their arms.
