The next morning.
Chen Rui opened his eyes. He had a strange dream last night, and he couldn't remember many things. The most impressive thing was the magic tent in the dream. The woman in the tent was Christina, Athena, Jía and her sister for a while, and it seemed to be "everyone together" for a while. The content was very, very unsuitable for children.
How come even my dreams have become so evil recently? Chen Rui scratched his head, but the situation of < Deep Analysis > yesterday was a bit strange. The analysis of the "God-Eating Mask" actually failed. There was an extra light screen in front of the throne, and there was a progress meter inside, showing that the progress of < Deep Analysis > was 0%.
There was also a prompt on the side, "The number of times of < Deep Analysis > can be automatically set according to the spirit. It is currently recommended to use it once a day."
After Chen Rui confirmed, there was another prompt in his consciousness, "There is a large amount of unknown energy in the [Star Devouring] mode, and there is a danger of overflow. Do you want to start the [Star Conversion] mode?"
Chen Rui was shocked. Sure enough, the [Star Devouring] mode is not endless. Last time I absorbed Glorfin's spirit, and last night I swallowed the power of the "God-Eating Mask". If it "overflows", my consciousness will definitely suffer some kind of terrible backfire, and I might even lose myself. Then what is the [Star Conversion] mode? No matter what, I must solve the big problem of [Star Devouring] as soon as possible.
[Star Conversion] mode: Decompose and absorb the energy obtained by [Star Devouring] to gradually strengthen the controller. The process is irreversible, and it cannot be interrupted after activation. Conditions: Consume 10,000 auras per day.
Chen Rui was overjoyed. It's for my own use! Isn't this the same as the martial arts in martial arts novels or the Darknorth Divine Art? No, it's even better than these martial arts. It can intelligently and automatically strengthen itself without the need to "run" alone.
The frequency of using < Deep Analysis > was not high. Although the mask on his face was a bit troublesome, and even being intimate with Athena was a problem, the most important thing was to solve the big problem of [Star Devouring] first.
System prompt: This [Star Conversion] mode is estimated to be activated for 100 days. It needs to deduct 1 million auras in advance. The power after decomposition will be automatically absorbed by the body every day.
For such a good thing, it is worth it even if it costs 10 million auras! After Chen Rui confirmed the activation, one million auras were deducted. There was another progress meter that appeared on the light screen of [Star Conversion]. It was currently 0%.
However, a hundred days later, he would be able to completely digest the enormous power obtained from the Star Devouring Technique. At that time, he might even become a Great Demon King by relying on this power!
When Chen Rui thought of the power Jía had shown, he couldn't help but feel a burning passion in his heart. Calculating the time, it was already morning. He immediately walked out of the basement room and came to the hall.
Arux was in the hall. When he saw Chen Rui, he immediately reported last night's situation. Sure enough, the entire city was under martial law. They were investigating all the people who wore masks. Jía focused on the Cloak Gang. It wasn't that she doubted "Aguile", but due to the popularity of the Cloak Gang, there were too many people in the city who dressed similarly.
As the reserve force of the imperial guards, the Cloak Gang was naturally very cooperative with this operation. After a thorough investigation of the gang, they began to assist the imperial guards to carry out a thorough search throughout the city. The result was naturally fruitless.
Soon, Arux left quickly after receiving some kind of order. After Chen Rui thought for a while, he called Vasasha from the basement room. As expected, she still looked numb like she was waiting to be slaughtered.
"Sit." Chen Rui fully displayed his Demon King-level aura as if he intended to deter her.
Vasasha was oblivious to this as if everything around her couldn't cause her emotions. She sat down like a puppet.
"You seem to be in a bad mood?"
"…"
"I order you to answer."
"Yes."
"Isn't it better to follow me than Joseph?"
"…"
"I order you to answer!"
"Yes."
…
Other than answering "yes" dully, Vasasha had no second answer.
This attitude made Chen Rui feel like he was punching cotton. He was very depressed. He asked a few more questions, but it was still the same. He couldn't achieve his desired goal of probing.
Chen Rui's eyes moved slightly. He looked at the next room, then he suddenly turned around and said, "I didn't want to tell you a piece of news, but looking at your boring look, I'll let you be happy. This is what Arux found out this morning. When I took you away yesterday, Royce wanted to follow us, but he was killed by Joseph. "
"Yes." Vasasha still answered, but Chen Rui could clearly feel that her voice was trembling.
Chen Rui added, "I heard that before he died, he kept calling your name."
Two lines of tears finally fell from the corner of Vasasha's eyes uncontrollably, and her whole body trembled slightly.
Chen Rui knew what was going on and said, "I learned about your past from Arux, but it's strange. Since you have no feelings for Royce, even if you're not happy now, you should be gloating. Why are you crying for his death?"
Vasasha's body had stopped trembling. She cried quietly and didn't answer. Her eyes became darker as if she was a body that had completely lost its soul. Even her vitality was being annihilated bit by bit.
"Interesting, I'm getting more and more interested in you now." Chen Rui held his chin. "You should be able to see that Joseph and I are just using each other. When the conditions are ripe, I can kill him and avenge Royce, but the premise is that you give everything to me without reservation. Are you willing?"
Vasasha's eyes flashed and recovered some faint luster. She moved her eyes to Chen Rui's face and nodded silently.
"Then, first of all, you must tell me what happened with Joseph back then."
Vasasha hesitated for a moment. She looked at the strong confidence behind the mask and finally spoke.
Back then, the patriarch of the Kunda Family in the Red Spirit Estate was killed by the Red Spirit Lord Josh because he refused to hand over a certain treasure he got. The Kunda Family was deprived of their surname, and all the members became slaves. As Royce's fiancée, Vasasha naturally wouldn't be spared. However, due to one person, Vasasha's fate changed. She accidentally became Joseph's maid.
This person was the illegitimate son of Royce's father, Ledo. However, this action was not out of kindness, but a vicious idea. Ledo secretly sought refuge with the lord's son, Joseph, because he hated his father for passing the family business to Royce. Then, he informed Lord Josh through Joseph, which led to the destruction of the entire Kunda Family.
Joseph took Ledo's advice and lied to Vasasha that Royce was under his control. He threatened Vasasha's life and gave her a strange order. This order was to force Vasasha to fall in love with him wholeheartedly. Once he found out that she still had any affection for Royce, he would kill Royce immediately.
Vasasha was introverted and not good at expressing her feelings, but she had always loved Royce wholeheartedly in her heart, just like how Royce loved her. She didn't know that Royce had escaped. In order to save her fiancé's life, she could only force herself to submit to Joseph's possession. Later, when Royce and Arux came to find her, she thought it was Joseph's test. It was not until the two were defeated by Joseph that Vasasha realized that she was fooled. However, Royce had truly fallen into Joseph's hands, so she couldn't do anything. She could only continue to "love" Joseph wholeheartedly.
In this way, both Vasasha and Royce became Joseph's men. For a hundred years, even if Royce was close at hand, she couldn't express any emotions. She could only use a cold attitude to reject Royce, or rather, to protect Royce.
Joseph once promised Vasasha that after becoming the Red Spirit Lord, he would give her and Royce freedom. This became her only hope to survive.
Unexpectedly, this dream was completely shattered yesterday. Joseph broke his promise and transferred her to another person like a commodity. He forced her to sign the master-servant contract and completely lost the hope of freedom.
She was quite clear about the meaning of Joseph's fierce eyes last night. If she didn't sign the master-servant contract, he would kill Royce on the side immediately! However, she only found out this morning that Royce was actually killed!
With her strength, it was impossible to even resist her current master, let alone kill the powerful Joseph. The only thing she could do was to use herself as a bargaining chip to try to take revenge.
Chen Rui then realized that he was completely wrong, and Royce was completely wrong too. Although Vasasha had always been loyal to Joseph, and although Vasasha had always been indifferent to Royce, this woman's heart had never changed from the beginning to the end.
Chen Rui remembered the sentence he left in Jía's longing wind chime: The furthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death. It's when I stand in front of you, but you don't know that I love you.
For Vasasha, the furthest distance in the world was not only when I stand in front of you, but you don't know that I love you, but when I love you deeply, I can only treat you like a stranger.
Compared with Royce's persistence, Vasasha's persistence was stronger. Under her indifferent face, she was willing to burn her passion. A hundred years had passed, but it was still the same.
"As long as you kill Joseph, I will dedicate my body and heart to you. I will never betray you in this life." Vasasha's slightly hoarse voice sounded resolute.
"You're wrong. Even if I kill Joseph and possess your body, your heart is not here." Chen Rui shook his head, "It's just like how Joseph forced you to fall in love with him. No matter how twisted and forced, love still can't be changed. If love can be changed like this, then it can't be called love. It's the same even if we signed the master-servant contract. You female Great Demons are all so stubborn. "
Speaking of the words "stubborn", Chen Rui thought of another female Great Demon who truly belonged to him, and tenderness rose in his heart.
Vasasha lowered her head sadly. Suddenly, she felt that the Demon King's pressure on Chen Rui disappeared.
"Joseph must die, because I never wanted him to live in the first place! As for you … "Chen Rui suddenly smiled and scolded," The bastard next door, get over here! If you don't come out, I will give Vasasha to someone else! "
Just now, there was the deterrence of the Demon King's breath, and Vasasha's heart was dead, so she didn't feel anyone nearby. Now that the breath was gone, she immediately sensed that two people were in the next room. She didn't know when they came.
Before Vasasha could react from the shock, she saw the familiar figure rushing out.
When Vasasha saw this person, even though she was usually indifferent, she couldn't help but exclaim at that moment. She almost couldn't believe her eyes, and her dim eyes suddenly regained their luster.
Reus heard everything in the next room, and his eyes were already filled with tears. He looked at Vasasha for a moment, and he didn't care that Chen Rui and Arux were around. He took two steps forward and hugged Vasasha tightly.
Vasasha then realized that it wasn't a dream. The cold shell that had been maintained for a hundred years melted under this fiery embrace, and she hugged Reus tightly too.
Arux stood at the back, feeling happy for his friend and Vasasha's reunion. Suddenly, a figure flashed beside him, and a low voice came, "Arux, accompany me out for a walk. Don't you think this room is a bit crowded?"
"You're very right, my master." Arux's voice was filled with unprecedented respect.
