I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

Since entering the iron gate, Li Yue hadn't relaxed for a moment, constantly using his senses to scan the surrounding space. Google search Read

Although Li Yue didn't need to turn around, he had to resist the urge to do so, only to realize that the figure of an elderly human had unknowingly appeared behind him.

The old man was wearing a mage's robe, with a magic staff in hand, holding a stained heart, saying words that should have been spoken by Budiboge, walking step by step from behind Li Yue to in front of him.

"I am fine… I have absorbed extra magic… it helps with recovery…" The old man brushed past Li Yue, turning his head as he spoke, until his neck had turned one hundred and eighty degrees, without shifting his gaze.

The old man stared at Li Yue with his head turned like that, while his hands didn't stop moving, opening the door to the Eighth Archive and walking in, like an illusion that had appeared in Li Yue's mind, or like he was going to conduct some crazy experiment in the Eighth Archive.

Immediately afterwards, the ceiling of the middle level of the library suddenly fell, like a wronged soul hanging in mid-air—except this wronged soul was a real entity, and there were strong earth element fluctuations in the space.

The earth element opened its mouth: "I am not good… I still have to… go to the arena… tomorrow night…"

Then the candlelight on the wall came alive, and the wall panels also came alive. Figures kept moving in and out between several archives—some of these figures were people, some were like the old mage who had just passed by Li Yue, some were warriors clad in golden armor, and there was even a large fish covered in silver scales, its scales rubbing against the air and the ground, foolishly "swimming" in the corridor.

And their gazes all fell on Li Yue, and their voices mixed together, gradually becoming a chorus: "You… why do you ask?"

Li Yue forced himself to remain calm, and words appeared on the pages: "The conflicts of the Demon Sons are constantly spreading… I want to ask… what should I do… next…"

While stalling for time, Li Yue observed the figures coming and going in the corridor, and suddenly discovered a familiar fellow!

He was draped in a sack, surrounded by mosquitoes and flies, hugging the golden-armored warrior, leaning tightly against the wall of the corridor—mosquitoes and flies kept going in and out of the golden-armored warrior's mouth and nose, but it didn't seem to have any impact on the warrior's actions. The two were entangled with each other, talking and laughing…

Oogie Boogie!

No, it was the "former" Oogie Boogie.

Li Yue looked back at the relevant records about Budiboge in the Demon Illustrated Handbook and found the line "Psychic Materialization" in "Skills". He finally confirmed that everything he saw in the corridor at this moment… was all "imagined" by Budiboge!

There was no need to ask Mentuo. Li Yue could guess that the falling earth element, the walking old mage, the silver-scaled giant serpent rubbing against the ground… were all existences imagined by Budiboge, without souls or consciousness. Their only master was Budiboge.

Perhaps these figures all had a "past" with Budiboge, and they would continue to exist in the way Budiboge imagined—this was the true form of the Lord of the Brain Spirit, and also the source of Budiboge's confidence that he would be "safe when he returned to the upper level".

Li Yue had no doubt that if he were to make a move here, the mage, the warrior, the silver fish, and even Oogie Boogie… would all exert their greatest strength to tear him into pieces.

Unable to confirm the strength of the imagined creatures, Li Yue immediately gave up the plan to make a move here.

"What do you think… should be done?" The silver fish entered through the front door of the Ninth Archive and came out of the back door, with only one eye staring blankly at Li Yue.

[Your statement… has many differences from before… Are you still you?]

Budiboge's true intentions were clearly revealed in the Demon Illustrated Handbook, and Li Yue instantly knew that he was testing himself—even through written communication, even though he had tried his best not to add subjective factors to the communication, it still aroused Budiboge's suspicion.

Li Yue didn't overly criticize himself—a quick battle was an unavoidable choice, and he had no way to learn all of the Book Demon's memories in advance, so Budiboge's suspicion was within Li Yue's expectations.

As long as there was still "concealment", there was room for maneuver.

"I think… Your Excellency should recover to the best state as soon as possible to prevent Scourge from taking advantage of the situation…" Li Yue wrote a line of nonsense.

[Scourge has a inexplicable malice towards me… inexplicable malice… What exactly went wrong… ]

Budiboge had tried his best to diverge his thinking, but he still couldn't restore the context of the matter, only feeling extremely uneasy.

"Yes… restore to the best state… Do you want me to help you?" Li Yue spoke to Budiboge's mind, and the Lord of the Brain Spirit suddenly had an idea about the Book Demon.

[More magic supplementation… your magic also originates from here… I can use your magic… ]

[Malice + 1444]

Li Yue didn't expect Budiboge's thinking to be so jumpy, or rather, he had once again underestimated the demon's indifference towards other magical creatures—this guy actually wanted to absorb the Book Demon to heal his injuries so quickly?

What to do?

"I can help you… find Scourge's whereabouts… and report to you at any time…" This was the only reason Li Yue could think of for the Book Demon to survive.

"Found him… so what?" Budiboge's timidity was already engraved in his bones.

[Killing Scourge… will it anger Leidricker… ]

[Killing Scourge… will it anger the being in the Thirteenth Archive… ]

Li Yue's mind twitched, and he suddenly realized that the situation in the library was far more complicated than he had imagined—was there a being related to the Skeleton Clan in the Thirteenth Archive?

No wonder Scourge had to lie in wait in front of the Gate of Chaos in advance, and also play the Song of Decay towards the Thirteenth Archive…

Li Yue recalled his conversation with Scourge and remembered that the Song of Decay was some kind of ritual for the Skeleton Clan's promotion, but he completely couldn't understand why it would intersect with the Thirteenth Archive.

Combining the appearance of the library imagined by Budiboge, the exchange between the Thirteenth Archive and the Seventh Archive, does it also indicate that some changes have occurred in the Thirteenth Archive, which does not conform to Budiboge's "imagination" of the library?

Fortunately, whether it was when assassinating Scourge or killing Finley, the Thirteenth Archive didn't make any movement, so he could rest assured for the time being…

Li Yue forcibly resisted the divergence of his thoughts and refocused his mind on Budiboge—the Lord of the Brain Spirit had already moved the idea of absorbing the Book Demon. Continuing to delve into this topic might lead to a falling out. The next sentence was the key to determining the direction of the situation.

"As long as I get your permission… if I find him… I can try to trap him… or send him back to the Gate of Chaos…" Li Yue combined Budiboge's inner thoughts and gave advice on how to deal with Scourge, "And you… don't need to show up… in the middle and lower levels…"

"Scourge is a secretive and powerful skeleton…" Li Yue weaved the image of a powerful skeleton along his thoughts, "His bone sword is a relic of demons, he can heal himself, and he can also use the Bone Sea to strangle the Demon Wolf Prince Finley…"

"It's really dangerous to have such a guy wandering around in the library." Since Budiboge was extremely timid, Li Yue wanted to scare him so that he wouldn't dare to go downstairs.

The imagined creatures in the corridor looked at Li Yue again, thinking about Li Yue's proposal.

[Perhaps you can try… It doesn't matter even if you die at the hands of Scourge… It doesn't matter if you kill him… I only need to kill you… to quell Leidricker's anger… ]

Li Yue cheered in his heart, very willing to endure such contempt—this proved that this contact with Budiboge was relatively successful, and did not arouse more of his vigilance, and confirmed one thing.

He cannot make a move against Budiboge in the upper level of the library.

At least not when he has all the imagined creatures.

[It would be best if you could restrict the actions of the Demon Sons… so that I can safely repay Oogie Boogie's soul contract… ]

Budiboge had no intention of intervening in the disputes between demons other than Brain Spirit, Minnie Minnie, and Slave Scholars.

"Then… that's it… you can leave…" Bodekoli spoke again, and at the end of the corridor, the mass of sludge in the gap of the Seventh Archive's door also had a tendency to gradually shrink back.

"Lord Budiboge… in terms of controlling the situation… I hope to get your help…" As a servant of the Lord of the Brain Spirit, Li Yue pleaded for power from his master.
