182: Undercover? Kill!

“Why aren’t you speaking? Didn’t we agree on this before?”

Song Bo’s voice continued to resonate.

Zhong Sheng narrowed her eyes. Memories of this period, as if sealed away, were just beginning to resurface.

It seemed that besides finding a leader, she also needed to retrieve something. That something was the ice coffin and the corpse within it!

But after acknowledging Lu Ze as her Monarch, she completely forgot about this matter. No, it should be said that everyone accompanying her at the time also forgot.

Zhong Sheng tried to think further.

Suddenly!

A sharp pain shot through her mind, as if an untouchable Seal had been breached. Zhong Sheng’s head felt like it was about to explode, the pain was excruciating.

However, the pain lasted only a short time, disappearing before she could even fully react!

Deep within her mind, a complex and unique Dao text appeared!

“The ice coffin and the corpse?”

Zhong Sheng mumbled, her eyes vacant.

Song Bo, at this moment, was still unaware that the Heart-Nature of the Zhong Sheng in his arms had changed!

“Yes, that’s right, it’s the ice coffin that sealed the Human Devil’s corpse. It doesn’t matter if we don’t have the ice coffin, as long as we can get the corpse, we can still exchange it with them for a safe place. As long as you give me that corpse, I promise, I will definitely let everyone live in a decent place, and never again stay in this dark underground!”

“Exchange with them? Who are they?”

Zhong Sheng’s tone was unchanged. Song Bo, with a beauty in his arms, had no defenses in his heart.

“Your memory really is… Didn’t I tell you last time? They are some friends of mine. They are not the kind who hate Human Devils. They are not only powerful and influential, but also very sympathetic to your plight. Didn’t we exchange a Demon Core of a Demon King Rank for some furniture last time? Although the furniture was old and broken, it’s better than nothing.”

“This time they said that as long as they can get this Human Devil’s corpse, they will allocate a piece of land for us next to the abandoned Nüwa City, allowing us to live freely on that surface! They also said they would give us a cartload of fresh vegetables!”

Listening to Song Bo’s words, a hint of mockery appeared in Zhong Sheng’s eyes.

In the past, when she heard Song Bo say these things, why hadn’t she noticed anything amiss?

Nüwa City is in the southern region, long abandoned by the Human Race. Now only demons and monsters run rampant there. Do they still need the Human Race’s permission to live there?!

A corpse that even the Human Race is fighting over, he is using it for a trade, exchanging it for a place that doesn’t even need a promise, and a cartload of vegetables?

And a Demon Core of a King Rank Demon was only exchanged for some broken furniture!

Zhong Sheng sneered as she recalled one period after another of her time with Song Bo.

Song Bo was the only one among them who had not been corrupted by demons.

It was Zhong Sheng who, while leading everyone out to search for food, encountered the dying Song Bo and rescued him.

After Song Bo woke up, he stayed here and slowly “helped” the people here, gaining everyone’s trust and rising to the position of second-in-command.

But now, it all seemed to have a trace.

According to Song Bo, he was misunderstood by the Human Race, so he was hunted to this place and then brought back by Zhong Sheng.

But now he actually says he has friends in the Human Race, even influential people. If so, would Song Bo have been hunted to the brink of death back then?

Moreover, hasn’t he always stayed here?

Even if he went out, he only moved around near New City. How did he get in touch with the Human Race in the Human Base?

One by one, past events caused murderous intent to surface in Zhong Sheng’s eyes.

“Song Bo.”

Zhong Sheng suddenly called out, and softly said, “The ice coffin and the corpse are in my hands right now.”

Song Bo was overjoyed, trying hard to suppress the corners of his mouth, and coaxed, “That’s good that you got it. You’ve worked hard. As long as you hand over the corpse to me, I will naturally arrange everything for everyone.”

Zhong Sheng’s voice was somewhat hesitant, “But, the Monarch needs that corpse.”

Song Bo’s eyes narrowed. It was that Monarch named Lu Ze again!

Ever since he went out that day, everyone here had changed!

They all revered that so-called Monarch like a god!

Any negative remarks about that Monarch would provoke fierce resistance from everyone, as if speaking ill of the Monarch was touching a sacred, unoffendable point!

Song Bo gritted his teeth and tried to say in a gentle tone, “It’s alright, the Monarch won’t be coming over for now and doesn’t understand our situation. We urgently need an environment where we can live on the surface now. As long as this corpse is handed over, we can move about on the surface!”

“When the Monarch wants this corpse, we’ll just find a similar one, or, we’ll say it’s lost.”

Zhong Sheng’s affection for Song Bo completely severed after this sentence!

She slowly rose from Song Bo’s embrace, her right hand also falling on her Storage Ring, “Since that’s the case, I’ve made up my mind. Then I’ll send you…”

Song Bo’s eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy!

As long as this matter was completed, he could return to headquarters!

No longer would he have to stay in this godforsaken place, pretending to be affectionate every day!

And that Lu Ze, as soon as I return, I will report him immediately, and I will surely claim the first merit!

Song Bo had already made his calculations.

Zhong Sheng also drew a sharp long sword from her Storage Ring!

“Hmm?”

Song Bo was stunned for a moment when he saw the long sword in front of him and couldn’t help but say, “Not this, it’s…”

“Pfft!”

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhong Sheng swung her sword, and Song Bo’s head flew from his shoulders!

Blood splattered, staining most of the room red. The headless body fell straight onto the bed!

“Send you to your heavenly rest!”

Zhong Sheng softly uttered the words she wanted to say. Song Bo’s eyes were wide open, as if in pain, and as if in disbelief.

A moment later, Zhong Sheng’s solemn voice spread throughout New City, “Everyone listen! Immediately Seal off the entire New City! No one is allowed to enter or exit! Song Bo was a spy for the Human Race, attempting to seize the Monarch’s belongings! His crime is unforgivable, and I have immediately executed him! From now on, everyone must conduct mutual checks. Anyone without the Devilish Qi of a Human Devil on them, their Heart-Nature must be different. Once detected, there is no need to report, immediately execute them!”

“Burn everything Song Bo brought before! Not a single thing must be left! This is the Monarch’s order, and there must be no failure!”

The people of New City were initially confused, but the moment they heard “Monarch’s order,” something seemed to suddenly appear in their minds. Immediately, they stopped thinking further; they had only one thought in their hearts.

Song Bo was a spy! Good riddance!

“Find Song Bo’s things! Destroy them all!”

“Go find everything Song Bo brought in, destroy them!”

Shouts erupted from the crowd. Everyone seemed to be controlled by a strange force, beginning to execute the words they spoke without resistance!
