Home/ Devil / Chapter 99

Releasing the neck of the demon under his palm, Abu kicked him: “Get lost.”

And the demon ran away as if it were flying.

“What should I do next?” Abu moved his joints and turned to look at Ji Huan.

After interrogating the demons that delivered the goods with the little gray devil on the same day, they now know that there were four demons that took him away. One of them looked like a foreigner, and the other three were dressed in local clothes. One of the demons had a very special index finger, completely different from the surrounding fingers…

Other than this, they don’t know much.

After a moment of silence, Ji Huan shook his head and said, “I can’t think of any other way at the moment either.” 

Abu touched his chin, and then looked at the height of the sun before suddenly saying:

“Don’t you have to go back to work? Hurry up and go back. I haven’t worked much these days either, only wandering around here and there.” Abu waved his hand and turned around, walking into the crowd.

His stature is very conspicuous among a group of demons, even if he walks far away, Ji Huan can still see his head which is one head taller than ordinary demons.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Huan went back to work restlessly.

Adan didn’t say anything about what happened in the early hours of this morning. After accepting Ji Huan’s apology and gratitude, he sat at the door wrapped in a cloak as usual, and didn’t move until he had something to do.

Before the break time ended, Ji Huan ran back to the testing area and quickly sat next to Adan.

Not long after he took his seat, heavy footsteps came from afar. Ji Huan looked up, and a thin demon came over holding an extremely huge stone.

The height of the stone was even higher than that of the demon, and it looks very heavy. Every time he took a step, the sand from the stone fell on the top of the demon, and Ji Huan couldn’t even see the appearance of this demon clearly for a while.

The demon was walking towards them.

Walking to the entrance of the testing area, the thin demon placed the stone in the open space at its feet.

The moment the stone fell to the ground, Ji Huan felt his body tremble.

Unable to understand the other party’s intention at all, Ji Huan poked Adan who was still snoring beside him without a trace.

“It’s you. “Adan seemed to lift his eyelids, but his eyeballs were still not visible as his eyelids were drooping too much.

Seeing that Ji Huan had already habitually taken out the paper for a resume, Adan stopped him: “Don’t prepare those, this kid is here to pay off the debt.”

Then Adan jumped to the ground with a bang and kicked the stone brought by the other party, then he picked it up and shook it slightly.

“This piece is okay, I will accept it.”

Hearing what he said, the thin demon on the opposite side showed a big smile.

Seemingly realizing that there was too much sand on his body blocking his vision, he shook his body, and when he was completely refreshed, all the sand on his body had been thrown onto Ji Huan and the old demon.

Ji Huan: “…”

Seeing the old demon instructing the other party to put the stone into the testing area behind him, he remembered who this demon was.

It should be the one who broke all the stones during the strength test before and was ordered by Adan to find stones to fill the vacancy, right?

His strength is indeed great.

It’s not obvious from his appearance at all——Looking at the other person’s slender figure like bean sprouts, Ji Huan thought to himself.

“This is only one stone, and you still owe me fifteen more pieces. When will it be repaid?” Supervising the other party to put the stone in the designated place, Adan raised his chin and looked at the other party.

“This… is the only stone I’ve found after looking for so long.” The thin demon scratched at his disheveled hair, which were also crooked like bean sprouts, looking gray, dirty, and messy.

“If you don’t get all the stones together in a day, you will be beaten here for a day. Don’t you think it’s embarrassing?”

“But… yes, there are really very few… stones around here.” This powerful demon seemed to have a language barrier. “Someone said there are many stones outside…but… you only wanted the stone….. from Yefar…so I didn’t dare to go too far…”

“Hmph, don’t even think about going anywhere until you pay off my debt.” Adan shook his neck arrogantly, and his eyelids also swung up following his movements, but… his eyes still couldn’t be seen.

“…Ah… then… I won’t be able to find a job…” The thin demon was a bit frustrated.

“You’ve dirtied both of our clothes, wash them clean before going back.”

Pointing to his and Ji Huan’s dirty clothes, Adan made another request.

So in the next second, only a pair of underpants were left on Ji Huan’s body.

The old demon standing next to him also had only a pair of underpants. He took out a big umbrella and propped it up on the heads of the two, which was regarded as sun protection equipment.

The slender demon took the dirty clothes of two people to wash.

“He’s a murder weapon. It’s not good to let him go so early.” Just when Ji Huan was in a daze, the old demon beside him suddenly spoke. When Ji Huan turned his head to look at him, the old demon’s mouth was tightly shut, as if the person who just spoke was not him at all.

“I only let go of one murder weapon before, and later on, it became the only regret I’ve ever had in my life.” Just when Ji Huan thought that Adan would not continue to speak, Adan’s voice sounded in his ears again.

“Some of the children here are weaker and some are stronger. Due to the difficult life, they are always more daring than the demons outside, and overall, they are stronger than the ones outside.

“Since most of them have no parental guidance, they can only grow up on their own, and very often, they get cheated on their first job outside.”

“I have set a standard here, where those who meet the standard can find a job, while those who don’t continue to exercise on their own. In short, I hope they can accumulate some experience here before going out, and be more deceived by me, so that they can be less deceived when going out.”

Ji Huan: It sounds reasonable and touching at first glance, but there seems to be a problem with one sentence.

The old demon soon stopped talking.

Ji Huan was in a bit of a mess.

If it weren’t for him writing his resume, it wouldn’t be so easy for the little gray devil to find a job? If he hadn’t found a job, he wouldn’t have been taken away, right?

Just when Ji Huan was thinking wildly, Abu’s voice suddenly came from not far away.

“I found that demon! One of his fingers is different from the other fingers!”

Ji Huan stood up excitedly.

“How did you find him?” When it comes to the whereabouts of the little gray devil, Ji Huan, who has always been deserted, became a bit excited.

“I disguised myself and pretended to be a demon looking for a job, and went to line up everywhere! Unexpectedly, I saw in a recruitment team that the fingers of the head demon seemed to be different from other demons, and then I stayed there, pretending to be an applicant. Finally, when it was time to sign the contract, the other party extended his hand, and I finally confirmed it!”

“Quickly take a look at the location of the contract, the other party must have taken the little devil to that place!”

Waving a contract in his hand, Abu had a big smile on his face, but because of the large scar on his face, he looked very ferocious.

Contract? A bad premonition suddenly appeared in his mind, Ji Huan hurriedly grabbed the paper in the other party’s hand, and after just one glance, his whole body seemed to be soaked in cold water.

“You……”

The paper in Ji Huan’s hand was a player contract for an underground fighting arena!

The time limit is six months! Life and death doesn’t matter! All bounties will be drawn at twenty percent by the opponent!

There were two handprints on the signature place; one belonged to the opponent, and the other belonged to Abu!

“Do you know what kind of contract this is?” Ji Huan’s lips trembled, and he raised his head to look at the tall demon in front of him.

“I know, this is a contract for the players in the underground fighting arena.” Abu blinked: “When I went to apply for the job and passed the second level, the other party told me.”

“Then why did you still sign?”

“This was the fastest way to know where the little devil is!” Abu expressed his thoughts in a frank manner.

“He is not only your friend, but also my friend!” Abu laughed.

“Ah, I told my previous boss that I’m going to change my job. After the promotion, my previous contract was cancelled, and now I can leave at any time…” Lowering his head, Abu began to babble again.

Staring blankly at Abu like this, Ji Huan lowered his head and glanced at the contract in his hand. Then, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, and he smiled for the first time in two days.

“Boss Adan, I…may have to ask for leave for a while. If it is not convenient, then I will resign directly…”

Before Ji Huan could finish speaking, Adan suddenly tore away the contract paper from his hand.

“Forget it, I won’t count it as your leave, you can go on a business trip with me.”

Folding the contract and putting it in the waistband of his close-fitting trousers, the old demon slapped his hands and called the demon who was washing clothes for the two of them over there.

The bean sprout-like demon ran over holding the clothes that had been washed into pieces.

“Now, you owe me two more sets of clothes.” Stretching out two fingers, the old demon poked the demon’s forehead: “I’ll give you a chance to go out on a business trip with me to buy stones. You will be responsible for the process of buying stones.”

The demon nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

“You, go and book a ticket for tomorrow, destination Lugman, one luxury class—for me, three economy class—for the three of you.” This sentence was addressed to Ji Huan, who immediately nodded.

“Finally, take me to find the person who gave you this contract.” The last sentence was addressed to Abu.

The four of them quickly separated to perform their tasks.

The ticket was quickly booked, and after realizing what Adan meant, Ji Huan was both calm and worried at the same time. Naji—that is, the bean sprout-like demon was squatting at his feet at the moment, unsure of what he was thinking.

He didn’t know what he was about to face, and his mind seems to be empty.

While Ji Huan was waiting anxiously, the old demon came back with Abu.

There was blood on Abu’s body, but it seemed to be someone else’s blood.

“The old demon took me to fight with someone else, it was so majestic!” Abu whispered to Ji Huan when he saw his worried expression.

Under the leadership of Abu, Adan found the hiring team of those three demons, and beat them directly. If only Abu was there, he would be suppressed, but Adan was also there, so the demon quickly explained what happened yesterday.

The demons led by that leader really came from a big city to pick out fighters. When the three of them went to a bar for entertainment yesterday, that leader took a liking to the little gray devil, and directly took the other party away. As there were not enough people left to recruit, the three of them were left here to continue to recruit.

“That…the little gray devil signed a voluntary agreement, without violating the principle of voluntariness…ah…” Although the three demons were beaten up and howled, they still knew what was the limit here, and they quickly took out the copy of the contract signed by the little gray devil.

After folding the copy and putting it in the waistband of his trousers, the old demon came back with Abu.

At this time, Ji Huan has also finished purchasing the tickets.
