The grey color that cannot be washed clean no matter how many times it is washed is the color of Yefar.
The cloaks worn by the demons in Yefar are mostly grey, with various shades of grey, grey-black, grey-yellow…just like the sand on the ground in Yefar, the buildings here are also grey, and the demons wearing cloaks of this color seem to be able to integrate with their surroundings anytime and anywhere.
The cloak that Ah Jin is currently wearing, belonging to Ji Huan, is also of this colour.
The first cloak he brought from Bade Town for Ji Huan has been properly kept by Ji Huan. Now he(jh) bought this cloak after he got his salary and is worth ten bone coins. Grandpa also has a similar cloak.
If you look closely, you will also find that Ji Huan’s cloak has been cut off in one part–– he did not throw away the fabric that had been cut off, but instead made a small cloak of the same style for Hei Dan.
Hei Dan still doesn’t need it now, but after a while, when he gets a bit older, Ji Huan plans to let him go out wearing his own small cloak.
Uh… after saying so much, it’s actually about popularising Yefar’s common sense of life for everyone.
In this place where there are almost no rules, “common sense” is particularly important.
The above is some general knowledge about clothing colours.
Ah Jin, wearing a grey cloak, stood in the yard. After knowing the testing process, the resume template in his hand was useless. He had a good memory, and he can still remember a few pieces of data.
There is also a demon next to him, who is undergoing a hearing test.
His eyes were blindfolded, and Ah Jin was asking him some random questions.
And then—
Ah Jin saw the dark demons standing at the door.
Dark and overwhelming pressure—
The cloaks worn by these demons are all black.
It is not black with grey, nor is it too grey to be black, but a pure and incomparable black.
The demons standing there at this moment may have different styles of cloaks on their bodies, but the color of their cloaks is, without exception, all the same black.
Among those demons, there were many particularly tall and sturdy ones, with cloaks covering their explosive muscles as if they would explode at any moment. Occasionally, some demons will accidentally reveal a section of skin under their cloak, but you can’t even see their original skin, which is covered in large, brightly colored tattoos!
The thick colors outline the explosive monsters or text tattooed on their skin, which looks really shocking.
Yefar’s demons don’t look like good demons in the first place, and now the group of demons surrounding the testing center doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the word ‘good’ at all.
Moreover, almost every demon held a weapon in their hand.
The huge weapons with dried blood stains on them were exposed to Yefar’s sunlight, and even the strong light could not dispel the gloomy cold air on them.
Ah Jin glanced in their direction and then looked back at the demon next to him, who was undergoing the test.
“Don’t be nervous, just relax.” His voice was still the same as usual, different from his cold and unapproachable appearance. The voice of the black-haired demon is mostly gentle, and if he is intentional, it could become even more soft.
His voice is easy to make people feel good about, and with this tone, the words become very convincing. Countless high-level demons can’t resist this voice, and now this little demon from Yefar, who hasn’t yet found a job, can’t resist it either.
Under the guidance of the black-haired demon’s voice, the other party slowly relaxed.
“There may be various distractions around you, and there may also be pressure from demons, but don’t worry about it. What you have to do now is ignore these pressures and then carefully identify them.” The black-haired demon continued.
“Alright, you said you could count, right? So count it, and then tell me, how many demons are there at the entrance now?”
As if hearing their conversation, half of the faces of the demons at the door under their cloaks suddenly showed malicious smiles. Something suddenly exploded in the air, and at the same time, an overwhelming pressure erupted from the demons’ bodies at the entrance!
Drops of cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the demon being tested.
If it hadn’t been for the testing staff’s previous reminder, he would definitely have been startled by the sudden burst of pressure! It’s too scary! It’s really terrifying!
This kind of pressure is obviously malicious! He’s being targeted!
Those pressures seemed to be saying this.
But…is this a test?
Thinking about what the testing staff had just said, he clenched his fists and strongly suppressed the desire to lift off his blindfold and escape. Thinking of the ten bone coins he had already paid before, he gritted his teeth and started counting.
1……2……3……
The pressure erupted by so many demons was quite terrifying. This pressure was invisible and colourless, but it seemed substantial. Most demons can feel the pressure from their own kind, as long as the other party doesn’t suppress it, or is willing to show it personally.
For most demons, pressure is more like a smell, and the current situation is like the smell of various demons mixed together. If you want to identify the number of demons in this situation, it is really…
The more he counted, the more he struggled.
The smell of these demons is so terrifying! They must have eaten many monsters, and their current target is himself——
His mind was influenced by the information revealed by those oppressions, and the young demon was restless. He could have counted to 123, but now he could only count to 55, unable to continue.
Forcing himself to calm down, the young demon counted again, this time the number became 62, but when he counted it a third time just to confirm, the number came out to be 58——
“Time is almost over. Now, tell me, how many demons are there outside?” The gentle voice rang again.
This sound made the young demon feel a bit better.
This is his first time coming to the testing area. At first, he had no ability and no money. The testing area is only a place for demons with a little weight, and he dare not come easily.
After finally coming here, he collected as much information as possible about this place. People who had been here said that there were only two demons in the testing center;
One is very old and short, with a bad personality, and he often charged extravagantly;
The other is a young demon who is very good and reasonable. You can get answers if you ask him any questions. If you pay the resume fee once, you can also attend a training class, learn to write your own name, and those who are interested can also learn to count!
In fact, he doesn’t have much ability, and he knows that he may not be able to find a job, but after hearing the news about the training class, he made up his mind to come over and get a resume, in order to come to the future training class as well.
At first, he was worried about being overcharged by that old demon, but it was a coincidence that the old demon went out today.
When he was waiting in line outside, he watched the old demon go out, and only the other demon was left at work. Although he can’t see the other party’s appearance, one can tell that he has a good temper just by listening to his voice.
The voice is so pleasant!
The young demon was daydreaming and then hesitantly said the final number he had decided:
“Six…sixty-two.” He felt that he was neither nervous nor relaxed the second time he counted. He was in the best condition and least likely to make mistakes, so he chose the number from the second time.
“Unfortunately, you counted wrong, but you didn’t make too many mistakes, so your listening score should be good.” The voice was still so gentle.
Listening to the voice, the young demon breathed a sigh of relief and took off the blindfold.
And then——
Looking at the dense group of black-cloaked demons surrounding him, his face instantly turned extremely pale!
His legs almost shook into a sieve, and he wanted to run, but the demons surrounded him very skillfully. They blocked almost all the gaps that allowed people to escape. The demons were so tall that he and the testing staff instantly became a basin surrounded by mountains!
He was scared enough to pee and hurriedly looked towards the testing staff beside him, only to find that the other party’s attitude had not changed much.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a soft and tender voice:
“Four! Four! Seventeen!”
He froze.
The voice came from under the cloak of the testing staff… beside him.
Only then did he realize that there might be more than one testing staff here, or there might be something hidden under the other party’s cloak… it seems like a little demon.
“Oh?” The black-haired demon lowered his head in surprise and then saw the white-ringed eyes staring up from inside the cloak.
At some point, the little demon had crawled into his arms and was clinging to the t-shirt on his chest. In the emotionless white-ringed eyes of the little demon, he seemed to see the words “praise me”.
“…” The black-haired demon stared at the little demon expressionlessly.
Forty seven? Oh… I forgot that this little guy loves to count and is very good at counting, but this time he counted wrong.
“The correct answer is 68. There are a total of 68 demons around. You counted them wrong…” His words suddenly stopped halfway through.
Wait a minute—
Four seventeen?
Four times seventeen, it is exactly sixty-eight.
He suddenly remembered that this little demon could only count to seventeen at a time.
For a little demon that couldn’t possibly count to 68, “four…seventeen” probably didn’t mean forty-seven, but four times seventeen.
“Interesting.”
“You got the answer right.” He raised his eyebrows slightly, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
The little black demon laughed happily and then continued to act like a quiet pendant obediently.
“Sixty-eight demons?” As he raised his head and looked back at the group of demons around him again, the expression on the face of the black-haired demon turned cold as before.
“This is the testing area. I only need to test ten people today, and I have already completed half of it. Currently, I can still receive five more demons.” The black-haired demon said to the surrounding demons in the same voice as usual.
“Tsk! Do you really not understand, or are you just pretending? Can’t you see the color of our cloaks?” Pushing away the surrounding demons, a demon with the largest body size stood in front of him, looking down at the black-haired demon.
The black-haired demon, who was originally of average height among demons, became almost petite in comparison to the other party’s height.
The size of this demon is almost three times that of the black-haired demon!
He lifted his cloak and revealed his massive fists. Looking around, he saw the stones in the corner, picked up the largest green one, and with a gentle pinch, it instantly turned into powder!
A smile with sharp teeth appeared on half of his strangely shaped face, and he wiped his hands vigorously on the cloak.
Now seeing the black cloak on the other side from a close distance, the legs of the young demon standing next to the black-haired demon weakened, and he actually sat on the ground.
Black cloak!
The colour of the Yefar’s dark forces!
There are dark forces everywhere, and Yefar is no exception. They control all aspects of Yefar, receive information from the outside world, and bring Yefar’s demons to work outside…..
Assassination! Robbery! Selling all kinds of prohibited goods, even people!
Different forces control different channels, and they compete and cooperate with each other, controlling all aspects of Yefar.
For most Yefar people, they are almost the bosses of Yefar! Almost all the demons born in Yefar know that when you see demons wearing black cloaks, you need to avoid them. Those are the demons in the “power”, and you should never provoke them in your daily life. It’s even best if you never see them!
But now, those people are right in front of him——
Looking tremblingly at the densely packed black-cloaked demons around him, the young demon huddled up.
A foul smell came from under him, but he couldn’t bear the pressure anymore and urinated.
“It stinks!”
He urinated in a bad position, just at the feet of the tall and powerful demon. The demon lifted him up angrily, and the young demon closed his eyes tightly.
He was prepared to be beaten half to death, but suddenly——
“Your resume will be prepared by tomorrow. You can come and pick it up any day after tomorrow.” With the familiar gentle voice, the young demon suddenly felt as if he was being pulled by someone.
Opening his eyes tremblingly, he saw that he was being held by the testing staff at some point.
“Now, you can leave. Today’s quota is already full. If anyone is still waiting in line, tell them to leave.” The voice of the black-haired demon remained as calm as ever, with his pale fingers sticking out from under the cloak and pointing in the direction of the door.
The young demon glanced at him, gritted his teeth, and quickly ran in that direction.
“Who told you to let him go? Damn it—” The tall demon looked angrily at the black-haired demon in front of him: “I didn’t let him go, how could he leave, how dare he leave— “
Just as he gave the order and the other black-cloaked demons around him went to grab the young demon, a cold male voice suddenly sounded:
“He can leave.”
“Because I let him go.”
The young demon didn’t look back and ran away quickly, while the captor closest to him suddenly fell to the ground. As he got up from the ground after a while, his movements became somewhat hesitant.
Unfortunately, the other black cloaked demons did not notice.
“Hmph, anyway, our mission target today is not him, but you.” The tall black-cloaked demon glared at the door hatefully, then at the man who failed to capture the person, and finally looked fiercely at the black-haired demon in front.
“Although killing is not allowed in Yefar, I know at least a thousand ways to make a demon feel worse than death.” The huge fists collided, and he spat on the ground, saying: “Our boss is very dissatisfied with the credit system you have recently developed. Since it is a testing agency, it is enough to help test the ability. Hah, if a credit agency is created, won’t it prevent us from recruiting people for many businesses?”
“The boss wants me to talk to you. But it’s up to me to choose the method of talking. I think there is a more suitable way to talk to you.” A terrifying smile appeared on the ugly half of his face.
In the next second, he suddenly opened his mouth. That mouth opened to the extreme in an instant, opening and closing, and the black-haired demon in front of him disappeared in an instant. He actually swallowed the opponent as a whole!
“Little Black Room” – Swallow the disobedient target into your stomach, and keep him trapped until he obeys. The time limit is eight hours, and if it exceeds eight hours, the other party will be completely digested. Most targets will accept the terms of the negotiation within four hours, but unfortunately, by this time, they will have already lost their arms and legs.
This move is the most effective way to deal with disobedient task objects, and it is also a famous stunt used by tall and powerful demons.
He has always had an advantage because of this move, always making him the negotiator in control of the whole situation. Every time their boss encounters someone troublesome to deal with, he will be sent to deal with that person.
“Come, someone give me a powerful digestive agent.” After swallowing the person, he laughed and stretched out his hand to the side, and a demon next to him smiled strangely and handed him a glass bottle.
This thing he jokingly referred to as a “strong digestive agent” is actually not a common drink at all, but a strong acid with very high corrosive effects that ordinary demons dare not touch. Only the tall and strong demons, not knowing the structure of their stomachs, can actually withstand the corrosion of such strong acid!
However, some people also say that his stomach acid might be even more terrifying than this kind of strong acid, and he doesn’t care. But every time he encounters someone he dislikes and swallows them, he would also add a bottle of strong acid to give the other person some color to see.
Using his fingers to cut open the bottle, he gulped down a bottle of strong acid and then burped heavily.
“What should we do next?” The surrounding demons began to discuss one after another.
“The boss said not to mess with the old demon here and try not to touch his things. However, it won’t matter if you just break his stones, right?”
“What’s the big deal? It’s just a broken stone.” The tall demon didn’t take it seriously.
“How could it be? I heard that the green one is the fecal fossil of a monster from Aputo! That thing is very expensive.” Said a demon who knows the market.
“Really? What about this golden one?” With a moment of thought, the tall demon suddenly looked at the pile of stones.
The other demons were also idle and began to pound on the stones at the ground.
Then, at this very moment——
“Aki, why do I feel that you have suddenly become so terrifying?” Throwing a piece of the golden fighting platform in his hand, another tall demon suddenly looked at his companion.
“Hmph! You just noticed? I feel like I have become even more powerful recently…” The demon named ‘Aki’ was proud of himself.
“Something’s not right…” Another tall demon suddenly stopped playing with the stone and frowned. He raised his head and looked at the other person carefully.
Another minute or so passed, and this time, not only him, but all the demons around him also noticed something unusual.
They all raised their heads and looked in the direction of the eerie pressure, and the tall demon named ‘Aki’ instantly became the focus of his companions’ gaze.
“Hey… why are you guys… looking at me like this, it’s scary.” He never dislikes becoming the center of attention and even enjoys this kind of attention, but it does not include this kind of situation…
All the demons looked at him, as if they were looking at…
Well, how should I put it…
He couldn’t quite tell, but that feeling is very bad.
The courtyard, which had become narrow due to the inclusion of sixty-eight demons, originally had no gaps, but that tall demon named ‘Aki’ suddenly realized that at some point, there was a distance between himself and his companions.
It was like a vacuum zone around him, and the closest demons around him were also about one meter away.
“What’s wrong…what’s wrong with you all?” There was also something wrong with the tall demon’s voice. He had always longed for the demons around him to look at him in fear, but when he was truly stared at by all the demons with frightened eyes, he found that he couldn’t enjoy it anymore.
“The pressure on you…has become…becoming so terrifying…can’t you…you feel it yourself?” Now, the closest companion to him is another tall demon, who is also the leader of the team this time. He is the only demon here that is on par with ‘Aki’.
These two people always compete with each other, and neither of them is convinced by the other’s strength.
But now, the other person actually looked at him with awe.
However……
Listening to the other party’s trembling voice, the face of the tall demon named ‘Aki’ twitched.
A trembling sensation that seemed to come from the depths of his soul swept through his entire body, and it wasn’t until this moment that he realised that something was wrong!
Almost immediately! He immediately realized that there was something wrong with the demon he had just swallowed, and he was anxious to spit it out, but——
It’s too late.
When all the demons in the yard couldn’t bear the pressure and knelt down one after another, the tall demon named ‘Aki’ was like a balloon that was inflated to the extreme.
With a “bang”.
He exploded.
