"Wait...don't...I beg you..."

"Aha!"

Charles suddenly woke up from the nightmare. She sat up, sweating profusely and breathing heavily.

His body was still wrapped in bandages and his skin was injured, but he didn't feel as much pain anymore.

"Was that... a dream?"

Charles gradually woke up. She looked around and found that it was already dawn.

The birds of the forest cleared their throats and sang out the encounter from the morning. She slowly wiped the sweat from her forehead.

Suddenly, I realized that the familiar voice that should have been next to my ear did not appear this time. The room was very quiet, with only Charles's faint breathing.

But she could now feel that her strength had recovered. At least she could raise her arms, lift the quilt, and walk barefoot in the wooden house.

Her body was wrapped in bandages, showing off her slim and gaunt figure and plump breasts, which looked vaguely visible, as if she was not wearing anything.

The house was not big, just one bedroom and one living room. The wood looked a bit old, as if it might collapse at any time.

Even walking barefoot on the wooden planks makes a slight creaking sound.

“No one…”

Charles looked around the room and found no one else except herself. Gradually, her gaze shifted to the white paper on the table that was pressed by something.

She picked it up slowly. There were a few paragraphs of scribbled words on it, but at least it was legible.

"When you see this note, it means I'm still in town handling some matters."

"I'll probably be back around noon. Since you're so weak, I made you a bowl of lean meat porridge. It's delicious. Remember to eat it when you wake up."

Hearing this, Charles looked at the lean meat porridge on the table in confusion. He could faintly smell a fragrance, but it seemed to have gone cold.

"Leave it to me?"

Although he felt it was very strange, he suddenly felt hungry after smelling that smell. There was a spoon next to him, but Charles picked it up and drank it directly.

"What on earth is this? It's so delicious."

"Neither salty nor bland, the texture is sticky and the meat is tender. What kind of food is this?"

Charles kept praising the porridge, eating one mouthful after another until the porridge was finished.

"Porridge? It smells like flour. Is this a drink made from flour?"

"But what exactly is she going to do? She did something so outrageous before..."

Just as Charles lowered her head in thought, footsteps suddenly came from outside the house. She thought it was Ye Xi coming back, but after hearing the second and third footsteps, she denied it.

Charles followed the sound and wanted to open the door, but he heard the other person mumbling something.

"In this desolate wilderness, the Demon King actually said that the Judge would live here?"

"Demon King?"

When Ciel heard the word "Demon King", her eyes became sharp. She frowned slightly and retracted her hand that was about to open the door.

"The Demon King received intelligence from his subordinates. Last time, a mimic came to test it, but it ended up in trouble."

"You saw it too. He looked so miserable. I guess he's been stripped of his skin. It will be difficult for him to pretend to be someone else in the future."

Only then did Charles remember what Ye Xi had said to him last night. She was not lying at all, and it really happened.

But what she couldn't understand the most now was why there were several deep voices outside the door, and it sounded like there were three people.

"That guy was unlucky last time and had to become a hunter."

"We're going to be a little smarter this time. We'll invite her to join us under the guise of an adventuring group, then trick her into a nearby cave and give her a good torment!"

"Even if we're finally discovered, we're still outnumbered. But don't forget, the more mimics there are, the more trouble we'll have."

"Mimic?"

Hearing this name, Xia was immediately shocked.

In everyone's impression, the mimic beast is a high-level monster. When it is not in a state, its body is usually a dark transparent liquid.

It crawls on the ground or wall like an octopus, with white teeth at the end of its scattered tentacles, which are constantly wriggling.

Normal people will have their sanity values drop drastically when they see it. It is also extremely dangerous and can disguise itself as any creature and approach others to devour them.

Thinking of this, Charles' sanity value dropped a little unintentionally. Although he had killed the mimic beast that had transformed into a living creature, he really couldn't bear to look at the real body.

"Wait, your eyes are rolling out, you're exposed now!"

"what about now?"

"Perfect, absolutely flawless. Knock on the door!"

dong dong dong.

The three mimics outside the door prepared themselves and began to knock on the door. The wooden door slowly opened. Their eyes should have been looking down, but when the door opened they only saw a pair of legs.

"Who?"

Charles opened the door, wearing only a cloak, and suddenly saw three unfamiliar faces.

A young brave man, an old wizard, and a tall orc.

The first reaction of the three people when they saw Charles was to stand there in a daze. According to the intelligence, the judge was probably a loli with animal ears, not the blond elf in front of them.

"Hmm? What's up?" Charles asked.

"Wait, what's going on?"

"I don't know. A judge...shouldn't he have white hair, animal ears, and be a loli?"

"This guy in front of me looks like an elf. Could it be that we have come to the wrong place?"

The three of them were whispering, and Charles could hear them clearly from the side. He was sure that they were here to find Ye Xi and had evil intentions.

If I'm not mistaken, they are also here to carry out an assassination mission.

Judging from the description just now, it seems that he will be killed in a cruel way.

"Uh...Miss, may I ask which judge this is...No, is this Ye Xi's home?" The brave man asked first and almost let the cat out of the bag.

Ciel was silent for a moment, debating whether to tell the other person yes or no.

If they said yes, they would definitely stay. If they said no, they might not let him go. After all, the mimic beast disguised as an orc was staring at him.

Charles swallowed and said, "The person you are looking for is indeed here, but she left a while ago."

"Out? That's not right. Then who are you to her?"

"I?"

Charles snorted and laughed. During the conversation just now, she had already thought of a way to avoid revealing her identity.

"Lord Beelzebub, the God of Sin, [Gluttony], I am here to carry out the order to hunt down the Judge, and I will obtain his entire body."

The three mimic beasts in front of them were slightly startled. Why did this sentence sound so familiar?

"So you too?" the mimics said in unison.

"We are all family. When you were discussing things outside the door, I heard everything from behind the door."

Suddenly, the brave man and the wizard turned their attention to the orcs, and Charles heard all their words.

They didn't expect that they actually treated Charles as one of their own, but it was also because of this that they were able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Luckily, she's one of us. If she had heard what we said, we'd probably have been skinned alive too."

"Why panic? We have more people now, and with the help of the elves, we will definitely win this time!"

Charles didn't intend to let them stand outside the house, so he led them inside to sit and wait.

"Since we are all family, then we should also..."

The three of them looked at each other and nodded, their expressions extremely confident. Then they said in unison, "The Devil King [Lust] is supreme!"

Hearing this, Charles smiled slightly and said, "Very good, now we are a team."

Ciel suddenly glanced at the hero. Although she knew that the three in front of her were transformed from mimic beasts, there was no flesh and blood in their bodies, only constantly wriggling liquid.

"As expected, although the Mimics are advanced, their intelligence is too low. Let's just keep them busy until she comes back."

Charles had a plan in mind. After all, Ye Xi was his savior, and he was also a real elf. Being ungrateful was not in line with the behavior of a superior race.

Even if the other party makes excessive demands, you must ensure the safety of your benefactor before you receive full returns.
