I have a date with the devil

Chapter 10

Ye Miao's younger brother is five years younger than her, and is both fond of and adores his sister, who reads bedtime stories to him as a child. Ye Miao became accustomed to nature, did not notice at all, to the monster "read story books" this action, simply like coaxing people.

Ye Miao found a comfortable sitting position, the body leaned back against the wall. The stone tiles are as cold as ice, and the coldness of the silk buckle is suddenly penetrating through the clothes and into the couples, making her skin goosebumps and suddenly sitting up straight again.

Berial saw the situation, incomparably natural to untie his outer robe: "Hands up, put on the sleeves."

The height difference is there, in the body of a teenager seems to fit the slender robe, replaced by Ye Miao body is too big, long sleeves cover up to the fingertips, the material is still soaked with warm body heat, as if someone from the back of the intimate circle her.

Berial straightened her lapel and deftly tied the straps of her dress in a knot, with a serious posture that was almost like taking care of a small child.

"I'll just do it myself." Ye Miao face a little red, like a child who stole the clothes of adults, some hesitation: "Are you not cold?"

The human body is too fragile to withstand the extremes of cold and heat. And for some existences that have transcended the bonds of natural law, clothes are nothing more than dispensable diaspora ornaments.

But the words of denial just rolled down his throat, Berial's mind turned, the tip of his tongue pressed, silently swallowed it, lowered his red eyes, his tone tinged with a bit of despondency: "It's always cold here, I'm used to it."

Berial has indeed been locked up here for several years. Ye Miao's heart suddenly softened and a feeling of pity came out of the oil.

Although he had known Berial for a short time, in Ye Miao's heart, they had already concluded a relationship that was more profound and complex than friendship - they were prisoners who stood side by side against the monster, a union of destinies that shared the same illness.

At the beginning, if it wasn't for Berial appearing beside the broken her, comforting her, sending her food and water to eat, and negotiating with the monster on her behalf, she might not have been able to go out for the rest of her life.

If one day she finds a way to escape the monster's clutches, she will not leave Berial behind. she will let him break free from the monster's oppression and regain his freedom.

The first thing you need to do is to get rid of the monster.

Ye Miao shook her head, dispelled the superfluous thoughts, lowered her head and opened the book.

As soon as she unfolded it, she realized that things were not good. The light left here by the monster is too dark, it's okay to use to see the way, reading is still too forced. A line of letters, as if oozing out of the stars and particles, into the murky shadows, blurred.

Ye Miao read with great effort, dry eyes. However, if the agreement is not fulfilled and the small-minded monster is angered, he will definitely seize the opportunity to "increase the reward" again.

Absolutely can not let him get away with it.

Ye Miao exhaled angrily, thinking.

Berial tilted his head: "What's wrong, eyes uncomfortable?"

"It's too dark, can't see." Ye Miao paused, whispered the truth and decided to bring an oil lamp next time.

"Then don't look." Berial raised his eyebrows, reached out and closed and drew away her book, saying, "I confiscated it."

His eyesight, it seems, is completely unaffected by the intensity of light, just like a diurnal animal. The action just now, if the roles were switched, Ye Miao would only see a black outline of the book's shadow, unable to pinch the edge of the pages with precision.

Ye Miao murmured: "I just found out that you have really good eyesight."

"Stay in the dark for a long time and your eyesight will be as good as mine." Berial put the book behind himself to keep her from touching it and suggested, "Let's chat."

Ye Miao looked around, "That monster will be eavesdropping again, right?"

Berial snickered, and suddenly came close to her, and said in her ear with an air tone: "Then let's keep the volume down, just like that, and talk in whispers, so He doesn't hear."

The dragging, lazy and sweet voice, saying anything, is very much like seduction.

The breath seemed to turn into little feathers, ambiguously brushing against the side of her neck.

This is also too close, Ye Miao found Berial this person, a lot of behavior have little sense of boundaries. But give her the feeling, and not the kind of eager and nasty denizens, but ...... similar to a beautiful and proud black cat in close to her.

Even for those who are hard-hearted, it is hard to resist this kind of intimacy that resembles pampering.

Seeing that she did not say anything, Berial shrugged: "That monster is asking you to come and talk with Him, right? But I think, as long as you are here, He is happy and will not count on us whispering."

Ye Miao was a little annoyed and retorted, "Say it as if you know Him very well."

That monster, obviously, was petty and perverted, how could it be so easily satisfied as Berial said.

"More or less, I know something about Him, not everything." Berial was honest, and after a pause, he glanced at her gently and smiled, "What's the matter, are you interested in Him?"

"Who's interested in a monster, I'm just a little curious ......" interested and curious, it doesn't sound much different, Ye Miao was a little discouraged, raised her eyes and found Berial had been gazing at her.

A pair of eyes, scarlet like solidified blood jade, in the dimness, but also emitted a regal flamboyance.

He was in a very good mood, it seems.

Ye Miao heart, slowly emerged from such a thought.

For some reason, the annoyance and shyness that had just dissipated had a tendency to climb back up again.

"Even if you're curious, there's nothing strange about it, right?" Ye Miao twisted his head: "My mother's eastern motherland, there is a saying that 'know yourself and your enemy, a hundred battles will not be lost'. It is always good for you to know more about your enemy."

Fear often comes from the unknown, if you can explore that monster's secrets, or even weaknesses, the next time you see Him, you won't be so passive, and you might even find a way to restrain Him.

This is the fundamental reason for her curiosity about the monster.

Berial's lips were covered with a light smile, and he let out a long "oh".

The end of the long, light as if a small claw, scratching the thin eardrum.

Ye Miao's ears inexplicably hot, calm down the inexplicable annoyance, before turning his head to look at him: "Berial, that monster has done something evil? Such as killing and setting fire, drinking blood and so on ......"

Berial "Well" a: "No, right."

Ye Miao tilted his face, puzzled: "Then how did he get locked up in this place?"

Berial said carelessly: "Because this monster, descended in the wrong place, as an alien, not accepted by the people. People fear Him and reject Him, but they cannot let Him go, so they finally have to lock Him up."

"The people who imprisoned Him are too incomprehensible." Ye Miao couldn't help but say, "It's not like He can choose whether to be born or not, or where to be born. Just because they are afraid of Him, they have to condemn Him? It's really unacceptable, just send Him away."

"I also think it's incomprehensible." Berial smiled faintly, "But have you noticed? How similar these people are to the universal God of Light."

Ye Miao was puzzled: "The God of Light?"

"Humans believe in it as a model of perfection. But in my opinion, it's just a narcissist and coward on high. It sets ridiculous rules of the game for everyone but itself, and it believes that a baby born naked is born with an indelible sin. Whether it forgives you magnanimously or sends you to hell is up to its mood. You can't argue, you can't resist, because you are born a short sinner, you must exist in the way it prescribes, otherwise you are an alien who deserves to be annihilated ......" Berial looked at her, jutting his jaw, and said with amusement: "Isn't that the the most serious incomprehensible?"

Ye Miao's eyes widened, shocked by his boldness and unrelenting contempt for God.

In the atmosphere of the Ruipas continent, which is overflowing with praise for the God of Light, such a statement is completely called treacherous.

In areas where fanatical believers of the God of Light are piled up, one might even get into trouble.

However, Ye Miao is not a fanatical believer, so there is no sense of displeasure of being offended. After listening to it, deep inside, it seems to be a bit hooked by Berial ......

Berial nodded off, did not continue to go deeper, pulled the topic back: "I think, with you fighting for Him, that monster must be very happy."

"I just think that even if it's an alien, as long as it doesn't have the heart to do harm, it shouldn't be treated that way." Ye Miao picked up a small dead branch at his feet and threw it negatively into the distance, thought for a moment, and then added: "That monster is bad, but it's not so bad that it's unforgivable. Besides, if He hadn't been locked up here, we wouldn't have been dragged down."

Berial nodded his head in agreement, "Indeed."

"By the way. I remember the legend of 'Abil's Man-Eating Monster' started circulating ten years ago." Ye Miao asked again, "How long has this monster been held captive?"

"About the same time as this rumor appeared."

Ye Miao bowed her head.

Sure enough, someone who knew about this dungeon must have leaked out the existence of this monster, and the terrible legend was born from this embryonic form.

But in reality, the cannibal was not Him at all. Rather, it was the cleft monster that had appeared in the library and the room balcony.

Ye Miao, in the spirit of the game, gestured and described the monster's appearance, but Berial said lovingly, "I've never seen it, maybe you can ask the monster yourself, he knows everything."

That day, the monster did not come out to interrupt her conversation with Berial. In the end, she too lost consciousness first and rested her head on Berial's shoulder. When she woke up, she had been sent outside by the monster.

Pulling out her pocket watch, the stopped hands turned rapidly, and it turned out that the time had gone to noon.

The sun rose high into the sky, the ground full of moisture was able to evaporate, and the gloom and mist dissipated.

The first appointment was over.

Margot expressed concern that she had disappeared for the morning and almost missed lunch. Ye Miao didn't have the heart to explain too much, just kept thinking back to Berial's words.

Speaking of which, she also just found out that the Abilian Palace covers a vast area, like a city within a city, and the place where the monster is being held is the former king's palace which has become a forbidden place.

Is this a coincidence?

Could it be that the monster and the previous king and his wife have some kind of connection?

Who is the person who imprisoned the monster because he was afraid of him?

Ye Miao eating slower and slower, involuntarily in the mind bouncing around the suspected people.

First of all, we can exclude the previous king of Abil. According to the common sense, who would be willing to put such a dangerous monster imprisoned in the palace floor where he and his wife live? This is no different from living in the mouth of a tiger. In case one of the maids accidentally turned the mechanism and released the monster, it would not be a big deal.

From this, it is inferred that the monster, most likely after the death of the previous king's family, no one lives there, only to be locked in.

The palace has many ears and eyes, and the queen has also ordered the palace to be sealed. Who has the guts and ability to send a monster in silently?

Ye Miao's eyelids slightly jumped, a familiar name jumped to mind.

That's right, no matter who it was, it would be hard to hide it from the Queen's eyes.

Unless it was - the Queen herself.

This guess is absurd at first thought, but reasonable when you think about it. After imprisoning the monster, the queen's heart was haunted, so she ordered the palace to be sealed to prevent someone from breaking in and accidentally releasing the monster, while the public claimed that the move was to mourn her late brother.

Therefore, the palace can not see a trace of regular care.

Even if the queen is not the mastermind, she must be the one who knows.

Without her release and subsequent ban, this monster could never be so smoothly imprisoned, the secret, and not to today no one found.

But Ye Miao can not figure out is, obviously there are safer and more secretive place to choose, the queen why must be confined to the monster under the palace of the late brother?

Could it be that the monster and the strange disease, and the previous king's family, there is something she does not know the connection?

Is it possible that the monster broke into the palace and killed the late king's family and many servants? In order to avoid causing panic, the Queen declared that it was a strange disease, and imprisoned him to avenge her late brother?

But Berial said that the monster did not do the murder and arson.

Besides, the late king's family died fifteen years ago. The monster was imprisoned only ten years ago.

If the queen wanted to avenge her late brother, she had the means to subdue the monster, so why would there be a gap of five years in between?

If the monster really killed so many people, the power should be very strong. Five years is so long, why didn't it escape and just stupidly wait for the queen who came back to her senses to deal with him?

A bit - strange.

All kinds of wild guesses, all in Ye Miao's mind slipped through, can not come up with a reason.

The queen is the only breakthrough at the moment. Perhaps, her bedchamber, will hide some decisive clues ......

Ye Miao eyelashes tremble, suddenly awake, was surprised by this bold idea of their own.

What was wrong with her, she actually wanted to sneak into the queen's chambers to pry ......

Some things, she should not have cared so much, and could not care so much. Dangerous ideas, it is better to suspend the horse as soon as possible.

That night, the strange mark on Ye Miao's body, which had disappeared, resurfaced.

This time the location, more difficult to say than the original ...... distinctly branded between the skin of her breasts, as if falling on the snow red plum. When Ye Miao first saw it, her ears were red with shame and anger.

However, also thanks to this mark, her night sleep restored peace.

She figured out the pattern, as long as this mark is still there, those things that seek life will not dare to approach her. After spending the night peacefully, Ye Miao let Margot go back to her room to sleep. Then after that, she slowly removed all the candles, little by little, to put the shattered security back together.

But she also found that, as if as a punishment for her missed appointment, the time for the mark to disappear accelerated. The second fulfillment was only four days apart from the first. Resigned to her fate, Ye Miao returned to the dungeon and offered a kiss to the monster waiting in the darkness, disguised in human form. The lips and tongue could not resist being ravaged by Him|bite, the inside and outside of the mouth, were tasted all over.

It was hard to survive this level, Berial reappeared, worried to help her up.

Ye Miao wiped away the tears seeping out of the corners of her eyes and shook her head to say she was fine.

This time she brought in the oil lamp as well. Before lighting the match, Berial turned away.

Ye Miao's hand stopped and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Berial turned his back to her and explained softly, "My eyes stay in the darkness for too long, I can't see the fire at once, or I will be burned blind."

Ye Miao nodded with seeming understanding.

A short "bare" sound, the tongue of fire on the match bloomed. The oil lamp lit up.

Ye Miao pushed the oil lamp to the corner. berial turned around only after a while.

With the illumination, the place looks, not so scary anymore. But Ye Miao, who had just been kissed by the monster with abandon, was now completely unable to look directly at Berial's beautiful and demonic face, blushing at the sight, and worried that Berial would find her out of place, and hastily drifted her eyes away.

This look, she suddenly found that the original empty corridor out of a thick cushion. There was also a cushion leaning against the wall.

Ye Miao incredulously squatted down, reached out and touched it, and determined that it was the most common cushion in the Abilene Palace.

"This is what that monster prepared for you." Berial explained behind her, "Last time, didn't you feel cold on the floor? So He got this for you."

Ye Miao: "......"

The corners of her eyes twitched.

Was that monster ...... really watching her every move all the time?

Is this a kind of hitting a stick and giving a handful of candy?

Berial squatted down beside her, saw the twitchy corner of her eye, and asked, "Aren't you happy that the monster gave you a present?"

It was indeed much more comfortable not having to stick to a bare wall. But the thought of that monster spying on her right now, not even letting the wind blow, the perverted action, can not be happy - Ye Miao slander, and pointed to the corner of the big box that somehow extra, asked: "And what is that?"

"You open it and see."

Ye Miao complied and opened it, surprised to find a set of exquisite tea sets placed inside, as well as tea, gloves, snacks, and a heater.

...... so many miscellaneous things, all from what place to get?

"That monster asked me how to make the girls happier and have a happy and comfortable time here." Berial held his cheeks and smiled sweetly: "It's not like I've ever touched a girl, I don't know how to make you happy. So, He went to find these things back on His own, probably because He thought you would like it."

Ye Miao pursed her lips, imagining the monster scavenging around for these things, a hint of indefinable feeling flooded through her heart. For some reason, in the surprise and amusement, but also feel a little ...... cute.

The difference in power between her and the monster was so vast that she could not refuse whatever he asked. It was reasonable to say that He had absolutely no need to care what she thought, as long as she obeyed.

Why did she feel that He was preparing these things, not for any purpose, but simply to please her?

Berial looked at her sideways and asked after her, "Well, do you like the gift He gave you?"

Although very disgusted with that monster's peeping behavior, but after all, it was a good intention ...... Ye Miao thought about it, or and invisible nodded.

Berial's eyes slightly curved, showing a sharp little tiger teeth: "Oh."

The author has something to say: repair it, change the redundant and unclear description, fill some of the original version did not have time to write up the dialogue.

I feel that every revision is a sugar rush.
