I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

“Dad?”

Shadow could sense Li Yue's mood at the moment and fully understood the heaviness of this memory, trying to keep Li Yue from being too immersed.

After all, his brainpower was very limited now, and the Hunter Tack was releasing pain, so if he tried too hard, he might mutate.

If possible, Shadow still hoped Li Yue would get some sleep first.

“Don't call me that. Your mom isn't necessarily your mom, and your dad isn't necessarily your dad.” After gaining the memory, Li Yue's feelings towards Shadow also changed slightly.

At this time, it was mostly fondness, expecting it to grow up quickly.

He had to ask Nolaymore to pass on the Shadow Demon's "Advancement Studies" to him.

Right now, the faith was chaotic, and he didn't know if there were any advancement opportunities like the Feast.

But he still had to carry the Black Spring Weird Blood and Sand Cat Gravel as soon as possible to prepare for the second advancement.

The main material for the second advancement was also difficult to obtain—Nolaymore had torn off the shadow of the Abyssal Maw, and he didn't know if Shadow would need the same process…

“Why is it taking so long?” Nolaymore appeared in the summoning words written by Zeng Yun, with a snail that hadn't materialized into a shadow beside him.

“Have I died before?” Zeng Yun noticed that the brain was the same color as his, a scarlet red.

“Mom…” Shadow was startled, but didn't dare to resist.

In the sky, the giant spider was still there, and the ground was full of dried corpses and maggots.

“It will take a long time to fight, you don't have enough time.” Shadow stroked Jinshan's head.

“This…” Jinshan began to think about the relationship between that brain and himself.

That brain was a bit clean and timid.

But how could a brain spirit eat a brain?

As he spoke, Shadow tore off three pieces of shadow from his body, namely Loushan, Red Oil Town, and the newly completed Liejin Mountain.

“His ability is likely under me.” Shadow brought Zeng Yun the worst gift.

“I have already inherited most of Mom's abilities, and if I collect 11 pieces, my strength will be even greater.” Shadow comforted Jinshan, “You don't need to think about those, just take care of yourself…”

“It's starting to fight, but it doesn't matter, that's my clone.” Shadow had already completed unity, able to fight against Lie Li Yue together with Reed Kort and Winnie as the main body, and also able to switch back and forth at any time.

Basically, they only relied on Shadow's help and the manipulation of the sensory objects to fight all the way from Red Oil Town to Lie Li Yue.

As if confirming Shadow's words—pricked by the shadow arrow, the brain spirit suddenly raised a bone middle finger.

“Oh, very good… Let me think, where to start asking…” Jinshan was still muddled, vaguely remembering that there was something very, very important.

Li Yue had already begun to think about the child's advancement path.

Zeng Yun was more flustered when he woke up.

“How long have I been asleep?” Jinshan was afraid that everything he had just experienced was just a dream—that he hadn't regained his memory, and that Shadow and Egg were all his imagination.

“I often find bones and tongues beside it…” Shadow poked the brain on the ground with an arrow, “Usually this kind of phenomenon happens after it quarrels with other brain spirits, but no demons cared at the time…”

“That's also what I want to ask you, how to merge?” Shadow's arrow suddenly froze.

During the process, spider silk fell from the sky several times, but Jinshan and Shadow dodged it.

“I'm so tired, you didn't even let me rest?” Shadow accepted the title of “Mom,” “Next time there's this kind of situation, knock me unconscious first, otherwise it's easy to mutate.”

The pain from the Hunter Tack was also about to dissipate.

“Then I need to find a way to merge with it?” Jinshan's goldfish-sized body was scarlet red, the appearance before advancement.

“This is him, the brain spirit of the Seventh Archive.” Shadow pressed the brain to the ground.

What Shadow was talking about were Zeng Yun's sensory objects.

“Dad, I've figured it out… I need to complete the task Mom gave me first, tearing off a section of shadow from each place.” Shadow tried hard to stabilize Li Yue's body, “I need to complete the task Mom gave me first, tearing off a section of shadow from each place.”

“Anyway, he won't be hurt again, and he doesn't need it anymore.” Shadow was very domineering.

According to the logic of the Shadow Demon or Aka, he could actually eat the brain.

“That's everything your mom and I experienced.” Zeng Yun finished talking about his separation from Demon King City before the Bone Hammer War, and his figure gradually stabilized.

“Of course I've died, I live in the library, there's no library like yours.” Shadow doubted that he needed to remind him of the daily life of the library.

If Jinshan was still the former Jinshan, then there was no need to stay in Lie Li Yue for so long.

“Two days and two nights.”

Then he finally heard Shadow's response.

“I brought you a gift.” Shadow didn't wait for Jinshan to ask, and took a brain out of the shadow space.

Looking at its bewildered appearance, Zeng Yun realized that his initial guess was correct—if he died, his body would indeed be resurrected from the altar of the library.

“Your main body…” Jinshan certainly remembered the brain spirit resurrection altar in the library.

“Oh, sorry, it was too painful just now, maybe some words weren't written correctly.” Jinshan scratched his head.

“He's still in the initial stage of brain spirit, he hasn't advanced.” Shadow gave the answer directly, “But he's very interested in bones, tentacles, lines, and teeth…”

“Oh, thank you, I don't eat…” Jinshan didn't have any appetite, and subconsciously shook his head.

So the three shadows guarded a brain, waiting for him to wake up.

“I retained a part of his instinct.”

This was a prerequisite for all plans.

Indeed, the current small brain completely matched Jinshan's thoughts and actions.

But this was no longer himself.

He didn't need to open it every time he lit up an anchor point to sense the inside and outside.

“By the way, I pulled out this nail, it's very harmful to him.” Shadow removed and destroyed the Hunter Tack while Jinshan was asleep.

Of course, he also inherited the Shadow Demon's consistent curiosity.

“Ah?” Jinshan had just woken up and hadn't fully started his brain.

“Or… should we ask the scholar?” Jinshan's brain grooves twitched, habitually thinking of Tom.

“Dad, what is authority? What is heaven… God of faith?” Shadow asked about some old things.

“Oh.” Zeng Yun thought, indeed, Shadow's performance was indeed similar to Shadow's.

Three small shadow figures were placed in front of Li Yue.

“Two whole days? Aren't you supposed to be fighting?” Jinshan took countless broken bones to form a body, and stood up holding the wall.

“If you still want to dump garbage, still want to separate the library and the arena from Demon King City, and still want to return to your past self… then this is the only chance.” Shadow transformed into an arrow and pointed to the brain on the ground.

Shadow stood in silence for a moment, grabbed the snail's shell and hammered it on Zeng Yun's head, knocking him unconscious.

“His will, his imagination, his materials… everything about him has become very strong.” After guarding for two days, Shadow was of course very clear about Jinshan's current situation.

Jinshan was happy to explain it again, after all, this process itself was a good way to sort out memories.

After a long time, he finally "faced the shadow and became eight demons" again.

While gaining memories, Jinshan also gained some apprehension—if there was no Demon Illustrated Handbook, he could only rely on the materials remaining on Chaos Avenue to cause trouble, which was far less convenient than being able to produce them himself.

“I understand, Mom.” Shadow was obedient, and didn't explain at all, and also put away the bone car embedded in the mountain.

Shadow thought Jinshan had no way.

As for now…
