Midnight is approaching.

Ciel and Beelzebub walked together on the way to the library.

The surroundings were very quiet, and the lights in the corridor were still on. Every time at this time, an image would appear on the wall where there was nothing originally.

Moreover, the people in each painting were different. Charles thought he had seen it wrong, but when he confirmed it again and again, he found that it was real.

"Beelzebub, why do I always feel like the person in this painting is looking at us?"

As Charles and Beelzebub walked over step by step, the paintings' gazes followed them.

"These are portraits of past demon kings."

"But these paintings...why don't they all look like humans?"

Although the paintings hanging on the wall have images of objects, they are all very abstract.

"Um, did you see that?"

Beelzebub pointed to the painting on the right wall.

"That's my father. His prototype was a bat, but he was very handsome in human form."

"In order to make the monsters remember their fallen king, we will not use lowly creatures like humans to show it."

"The only faith we demons have is our own people. We never lose ourselves and always follow the leader who can guide us to survive."

Beelzebub came under her "father" and looked at him with a childlike smile, and the other party even nodded in response.

This scared Charles silly. The other paintings were also full of monsters and ghosts, and they all looked extremely scary.

"So what does your true form look like?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Beelzebub stopped immediately.

"You asked me what I look like?"

Beelzebub slowly turned his head, his eyes bloodshot and a wicked smile on his face.

Seeing this, Charles quickly covered his mouth, realizing that he had said the wrong thing.

"I...I spoke too much, sorry!"

The whole journey was very treacherous for Charles. In the end, he remained silent and arrived at the library, where he found that Ye Xi had already returned.

"Where have you been?"

When Ye Xi saw the two people coming, he closed the book in his hand.

"us......"

"We went on a date, right?"

"Ugh?"

After Beelzebub's words, there was silence for a few seconds. Ye Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at the two of them in disbelief.

"Dating?"

"You guys are actually going on a date at this time?"

"Charles, what's going on?"

Charles didn't react for a moment, his face flushed, not knowing how to answer.

"No...it wasn't a date! We just went to the cemetery for a while."

"Dating in a cemetery? You guys are really extravagant."

The more intense Xiaer's reaction was, the greater Ye Xi's misunderstanding became.

As an elf, Ciel also understands the concept of dating, but why does it seem so normal to Beelzebub?

"Generally speaking, a date is just two people walking together, taking a stroll or something like that, right?"

"Why are you reacting so violently?"

Beelzebub glanced at Ciel helplessly.

"This understanding is absolutely amazing."

Ye Xi did not pursue the matter any further, but gestured for the two to sit down quickly and start the midnight meeting.

"What? You clearly don't understand, but you still talk nonsense. You almost got misunderstood."

Ciel complained in his heart while looking at Beelzebub with a calm expression. Then she noticed Ciel and turned her head to look.

"what happened?"

"It's okay! Listen carefully to what Ye Xi says!"

Ciel snorted and ignored Beelzebub.

"Oh, how cute~" Beelzebub whispered.

Ye Xi did not prepare a blackboard this time, nor did he plan to.

She knew that this might be the last time she would make plans.

"Although I really want to talk about the process, considering the time constraints, let's get straight to the point."

"Early tomorrow morning, humans will attack the Demon King's Castle."

Hearing this, Beelzebub and Ciel were startled and their eyes widened.

"So fast?!"

Beelzebub asked in surprise, and Ye Xi nodded with certainty.

“Although it’s morning, we still need to walk a little further after leaving Death Valley, about…”

"They may reach the outskirts of the Demon King's Castle before noon."

"If that happens, it will definitely attract the attention of the monsters in the tribe, and in serious cases, it may even lead to a war."

The incident of the nocturnal beast destroying the cemetery is still fresh in our minds, and now new information has suddenly arrived.

Beelzebub was already feeling a heavy pressure at this moment.

Because just now, she deduced that there would be another wave of attacks tomorrow.

The reason for choosing to repair the damaged tombstones is to destroy them before humans attack.

"Actually...we've also discovered a new crisis here."

Ciel told Ye Xi what happened in the cemetery on behalf of Beelzebub.

After hearing this, Ye Xi fell into deep thought like Beelzebub.

"So this kind of thing actually happened?"

"It's like there's a wolf in front and a tiger behind."

"But what's even more coincidental is that Beelzebub deduced that the Nocturnal Beasts' attack coincided with the humans'."

This means that if they choose to fight against one side together, one side will definitely lose.

The human offensive was no problem for Beelzebub, but she would not leave the guarding of her ancestors to a "person" of unknown origin.

"If it doesn't work, let's just put on a show."

"what?"

Ye Xi suddenly stood up, pulled the blackboard over, and started drawing.

"We need a fight scene."

"For a soldier who has been fighting for years, it goes without saying what kind of things would interest him, right?"

Ye Xi took into consideration the goblins in the tribe and the mercenaries within the legion.

The human army has been carrying out the tasks assigned by their superiors for a long time, and under the leadership of the knight captain, they have basically overcome all obstacles. Moreover, if the goblins who often hunt are allowed to resist humans, they will undoubtedly die in vain.

In addition, the opponent also has the knight captain, so in terms of strength, he will definitely be beaten.

"Beelzebub, if you believe me, you will spread this notice to the monsters living inside and outside the Demon King's castle."

"Let them hide."

At first Beelzebub did not understand the meaning, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized it.

"Do you want to fight against humans?"

"No! Wouldn't that just save the Demon King's Castle?"

Charles was naturally the first to disagree, and now the monsters trusted Ye Xi quite a bit.

But Ye Xi's next words made Beelzebub agree on the spot.

"I will stand between good and evil as the judge. When the time comes, you will be the savior."

"Then defeat me, trample me underfoot in front of everyone, and declare that in the name of the Demon King, all threats will be eradicated."

Ye Xi will reveal his character that cannot distinguish between good and evil, first leaving monsters with fear, and then becoming a threat to humans.

"Anyway, do you really want to take this stigma on me?"

"But my reputation has long been in tatters. The position of Demon King will always belong to you."

"Now you should understand who the witness I was talking about is, right?"

Although Ciel wanted to refuse, she knew very well that she did not seem to be qualified.

I can only listen quietly.

"Well, there's no other way at the moment. Even though this plan is a mess, I have a scapegoat. How could I not use it?"

When Beelzebub said this, his expression was very solemn, and there was a tremor in his voice, which Ye Xi heard clearly.

"I want to go too!" Charles stood up and patted his chest and said loudly.

"I don't allow you to go!" Ye Xi retorted.

"Just go help Beelzebub and don't get in the way."

Ye Xi's eyes were firm. Xiaer gritted his teeth and wanted to argue something in anger.

Ye Xi's expression suddenly softened, and she said, "Be obedient, Xia Er. You are a pure and flawless elf, and you shouldn't be stained by even a little bit."
