Chapter 282 A First Exploration of Human Nature
Zone 1.
The bustling streets stand in stark contrast to the dilapidated state of the 39th ward.
They are completely two different worlds.
Ye Xiao and Yukino Yukinoshita stood on the street, looking at that unique building.
That is the place where the Holy Emperor resides.
"Want to come along?"
"Or perhaps you'd like to wander the streets by yourself?"
Ye Xiao turned his head and asked Yukino Yukinoshita.
Looking at the surrounding snow, Yukino Shinobu snapped out of her reverie and shook her head.
"I'll just wander around here. After all, the master is talking about private matters, so there's no need to worry about me."
Ye Xiao nodded. "Then be careful and contact me if anything happens."
After saying that, Ye Xiao disappeared from the spot.
The pedestrians nearby seemed oblivious to Yi Yi's presence, continuing to walk and laugh as they went.
Yukino Yukinoshita remained silent for a while before starting her own stroll.
I've heard Ye Xiao talk about things in this world.
Just as Ye Xiao said.
Then everyone in this world is a bunch of scum.
On one hand, they comfortably enjoy the protection of the so-called cursed children, while on the other hand, they despise them and regard them as trash.
I hope I won't let myself down in the eyes of humanity in this world.
Inside the Holy House.
Ye Xiao walked around inside by herself.
The surrounding defense personnel seemed not to have seen it.
It's an ordinary form of cognitive magic that blocks everyone's perception.
Ye Xiao looked up, staring at the building above, her gaze passing over the floors.
Ye Xiao finally found the girl in the white dress.
"Found it."
Ye Xiao lifted his leg and disappeared from the spot.
The Emperor's office.
The Holy Emperor sighed as usual.
The newly promulgated legal codes were all overturned; this is a long and arduous task.
Suddenly, a slight ripple in the air was felt, and Ye Xiao appeared in the office.
The Holy Emperor was startled by Ye Xiao's sudden appearance, then asked with a wary and nervous expression, "You... how did you get in!?"
"And who are you?"
Looking at the panicked and bewildered Holy Emperor.
Ye Xiao felt that she was still kind of cute.
However, Ye would not forget his duties because of beauty.
"Of course..."
As he spoke, Ye Xiao appeared directly in front of the Holy Emperor and continued with a playful tone, "Appearing here like this."
The two were only a fist's width apart.
The sudden turn of events startled the Holy Emperor, whose heart pounded wildly.
Feeling the intense heat emanating from the man before her.
The Holy Emperor blushed slightly, then turned his head away.
This is the first time in my life that someone has treated me like this.
Ye Xiao chuckled as he looked at the Holy Emperor's expression and took a step back.
"Regarding the second question, I am not a person, but..."
As Ye Xiao spoke, he gave the Holy Emperor a gentlemanly bow.
puff~
A sudden gust of wind swept through the room.
A pair of jet-black wings extended from Ye Xiao's back.
Seeing this, the Holy Emperor visibly panicked.
At this moment, Ye Xiao revealed a wicked smile and continued, "Demon~"
The Holy Emperor stared in horror, his body involuntarily retreating until his back pressed against the wall.
Evil, evil, evil demon?
There really are demons in the world?!
The legendary creature actually exists.
Among the books I read.
Evil and chaos are synonyms for the devil.
But you're talking about the demons in High School DxD.
That's fine.
The demon here has absolutely nothing to do with the two words above.
The Holy Emperor felt like a fish on a chopping board, completely at the mercy of others.
today...
Am I going to die here?
Thinking of this, the Holy Emperor's eyes welled up with tears.
I was just a teenager.
I'm still young.
I still have things to do.
Those children still need me; I haven't integrated them into society yet.
Ye Xiao's lips twitched slightly.
To be honest, young lady, you have a very rich inner world.
At this moment, the Holy Emperor remembered that there was an emergency call button under his desk.
She reached out with trembling hands, trying to press the hidden emergency call button under the desk.
Of course, Ye Xiao couldn't possibly miss her little tricks.
Ye Xiao thoughtfully cut space and moved the button to the desktop.
"Please, Your Highness."
At that moment, the Holy Emperor's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Really?"
Ye Xiao was taken aback.
The guy in front of me is really well protected.
So naive.
It's truly remarkable that someone can preserve this virtue in this world, even if it's not explicitly stated.
No arguing!
How could I possibly say this out loud?
what! !
The Holy Emperor awkwardly scratched his toes!
But she still asked hesitantly, "Then... I pressed it~"
"Press it, press it."
Then Ye Xiao handed her a megaphone, "You can shout too."
The Holy Emperor stared blankly at Ye Xiao.
Perhaps... the demon before us is a good demon.
"After all, I created an alternate dimension."
"Even if you press the button until you break or scream until you're hoarse, no one will pay any attention to you."
Opening up another dimension?
She instinctively pressed the button, then picked up the megaphone and called out to the guards.
But there was no reaction whatsoever.
The Emperor's newly ignited hope was instantly extinguished, and the color drained from his face.
She closed her eyes in despair, tears streaming down her face.
Wow ~
I really cried.
Ye Xiao leaned over to take a look.
"Alright, alright, I won't hurt you."
Seeing the Emperor crying his eyes out, Ye Xiao felt somewhat helpless.
Why is this child so easily teased?
The Holy Emperor slowly opened his eyes and asked in a voice trembling with tears and full of doubt, "R-really?"
"Of course."
"Then...what does Mr. Devil want with me?"
... ... ... ...
The street outside.
Yukino Yukinoshita walks alone on a bustling street.
Just then, the sound of hurried running came from ahead.
Look up.
A child wearing a hat, looking rather disheveled, and carrying a can of food ran over.
Two adults in convenience store uniforms are chasing after him.
"Someone come here!"
"Grab that guy!"
Thief?
He's so young and already stealing things.
This is not right.
Yukino Yukinoshita is currently viewing the problem through the lens of her mindset when she was still human.
They have absolutely no awareness of being demons, perhaps because they still harbor illusions about the people here.
Yukino Yukinoshita stopped the child.
Upon seeing this, the child's eyes widened.
He was panting heavily at the same time.
It's over...it's all over.
Just when they were in despair, Yukino Yukinoshita stopped them.
They're still just kids, after all.
"What's wrong with this child?"
"She was stealing something when the security guard stopped her, and she beat him half to death."
The shop assistant said.
Nearby security personnel rushed over.
"What are you doing here?!"
The guard's expression changed when he saw the child's red pupils.
They instantly became alert.
Yukino Yukinoshita was about to say something.
But before he could speak, he was interrupted.
"Hey! You brat! Stay still!!"
(Guys, I've filled up my bean banknotes. Once I manage to grab one, I'll randomly select one from the "request for more updates" section. Um... it's all random.)
