Count Sergio's sudden sweat made the demons in the square extremely puzzled, and they exchanged glances.

How did it seem that the Earl's expression became a bit suspicious of xuesheng (fresh blood)?

"Are you alright?"

Hyperion asked with a calm expression.

In the square, only she and the Fallen Lord were standing near Count Sergio.

"Wait, wait."

The Earl raised his hand, refusing Hyperion to approach. His breathing became rapid, and his heart beat wildly like a war drum.

Every demon noble emitting a red glow seemed to have transformed into a hunter waiting for the opportunity, and he was like prey trapped in a net.

Count Sergio suspected whether there was an error in the authority he was using.

He had to try again to figure out the truth behind it all.

Sergio took a deep breath, calming his fluctuating emotions.

He recited the incantation again, the blood clan's magic power outlining complex and ancient symbols in the air.

As the incantation ended, he hoped to see something normal.

However, to Sergio's horror—

The result was still those red lights.

The same demons were still looking at him in confusion.

This time.

Count Sergio could feel more clearly that the red light on the demon nobles was brighter and more mocking.

Sergio had spent countless nights with riddles, but this time, the fear seemed to have materialized, solidified in those red lights, densely surrounding him.

His legs trembled uncontrollably, and every step required great effort.

An unspeakable conjecture surged in Count Sergio's heart—

These demons seemed to be enjoying some kind of game, waiting for him to tell the truth.

They seemed to know his every move, every spell he cast, their eyes were like watching an insect struggling in a net, full of coldness and entertainment.

Was this all a huge, carefully planned trap?

Were these crazy demons putting on a show with him according to some rules he didn't know?

This thought made Count Sergio even more terrified. He felt like he had fallen into a carefully woven nightmare, unable to escape, with nowhere to hide.

He could no longer maintain the detective's composure. The surrounding red lights seemed to mock his powerlessness and fear, and the eyes of every demon noble were full of disdain and playfulness.

"What's wrong, Earl?"

Hyperion frowned slightly, wondering what trick the blood clan Earl was going to play.

Because of this reaction, she hadn't anticipated it, it was beyond her expectations.

"No, don't come near me!"

Count Sergio became like a frightened bird, his face pale, clutching his head tightly.

He didn't know if this was a nightmare, or if the demons had really gone mad.

Were they eating blood clans?!

Demons like the Princess and the Fallen Lord, who didn't have red light on them, were quite rare. All the other demon realm nobles had participated in Gregory's murder!

Even though the Princess and the Fallen Lord were rare demons without red light on their heads, Count Sergio couldn't judge whether this was exactly what the demon Princess and the Fallen Lord had ordered.

If it really had nothing to do with them, could the other demons have hidden it from the two of them?

The two of them were the most suspected masterminds!

Count Sergio looked at Princess Hyperion's natural look of concern. He couldn't tell whether this demon princess was pretending to be harmless, or a Khorne demon lord whose heart was darker than black!

"I don't need any demons to escort me. Fallen Lord, you are not allowed to let any demons near me!"

Sergio looked at the square surrounded by demonic shadows and shouted to the Fallen Lord in a trembling voice.

"Your mental state is very unstable. Tell me who the murderer is. What did you see?"

The Fallen Kaeliera also showed a slightly confused expression.

She didn't know what Hyperion had done to scare the blood clan detective Count Sergio like this.

But if she just let Count Sergio go back like this, Kaeliera wasn't sure whether Count Sergio would report nonsense to the blood clan progenitors.

After all, their demons had not been uncooperative with the investigation. Count Sergio himself had terminated the investigation. It was too absurd to say that.

"...You, you won't let me leave, will you..."

Sergio's eyes were bloodshot, staring at the Fallen Lord, unable to tell whether what the Fallen Lord was saying was the truth or a hidden meaning.

Could this ninth-order great demon who was in charge of the Demon King's City not know that so many nobles from the entire Demon King's City had participated in the brutal murder of Earl Gregory?

How did they abuse Earl Gregory and take pleasure in it, so that every demon was covered in Earl Gregory's blood?

"Of course not, but I think you might need to calm down. We have no malice."

The Fallen Lord hesitated for a moment and said.

Although at this moment, she could use her talent magic to calm the blood clan Earl, the ultimate magic that she had deduced her talent magic to the extreme, the [Fallen Utopia], once used, was enough to produce the effect of reversing the battle situation, but it was also a ninth-order group control spell that did not distinguish between friend and foe and had an unstable control time.

Now, she wouldn't use the Fallen Utopia on a blood clan Earl in this occasion, so that all the demon nobles would be hit.

The square in front of the Nekaris Palace became extremely quiet, and even the sound of demons swallowing could be heard.

Hyperion stared at the Fallen Lord and Count Sergio. She had a bad feeling now.

Because she was too familiar with this kind of grotesque and sudden scene!

She hadn't heard the voice or seen the person, but her real experience was that that person must have come.

No matter how far apart they were, as long as any enemy appeared who wanted to threaten her, Lanqi would help her solve the enemy first!

Hyperion couldn't care about Count Sergio anymore, but looked down at the steps of the square.

She didn't know where Lanqi was.

But she knew that Lanqi must be watching her somewhere in this city!

At this moment.

The sound of the demon realm radio came from afar along with the damp morning mist, becoming clearer:

"Oyi! Good morning!"

"This is Demon King's City Radio. Today's host is me, Silmodo. I don't know how everyone's yesterday went. It's really a hopeful morning. Here, I'd like to dedicate a song that is as refreshing as the weather for everyone. Let's start a new day with the song."

"By Miss Lanfu, the super popular songstress who has recently become popular in the demon realm——"Cute to the Point of Wanting to Eat You"."

Hyperion almost choked on her saliva when she heard the name of the song.

What a Tata execution song!

And when that familiar charming and clear voice rang, Hyperion knew it was all too late.

"My dear, you are also so cute today, so cute that I want to replace breakfast and eat you~"

"Your cute appearance makes me drunk. Before the memory begins to fade, I want to stay by your side forever like a lucid dream~"

"Oh~ I feel like I'm suffocating, but you are the air, I can't wait any longer~"

Not only the singing in the radio, but also a flash performance in the commercial area around the palace, which caused a wave of crazy cheers.

Hyperion didn't know who wrote this song, but she knew it definitely wasn't Lanqi, because Lanqi probably couldn't hold back when he heard these lyrics.

In the future, she must not let the Great Love Poet sing this original work with passion in the Cat Boss's restaurant, otherwise she couldn't imagine what it would become.

For demons with calm moods, the voice of the Great Love Poet was still okay.

But when this demonic sound floated into Count Sergio's ears along with the mist, everything was different.

"Fake, hehe... fake, it's all fake!!!"

In this Demon King's City surrounded by darkness and terror, the blood clan detective Sergio only saw those ubiquitous red lights, those distorted sounds and shadows, and those seemingly endless corridors. Finally, he heard the sound of something snapping.

It seemed that his fear could make these demons subconsciously lick their lips, and watching his ridiculous appearance at this moment was an unparalleled pre-dinner enjoyment.

He tore at his hair with both hands, as if trying to erase those terrifying images from his mind, constantly chanting meaningless words, until a hoarse scream pierced the eclipse sky.

"Hehe! Hehe!!"

Count Sergio began to cry and laugh, and the laughter echoed on the empty steps, becoming sharper and sharper.

In the end, the mad blood clan Earl had an extreme tendency to attack and could only be forcibly taken down by the Fallen Lord and sent to the psychiatric department of the Demon King's City Hospital for treatment.

After this detective show ended quickly.

The demon nobles who were watching each other looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't understand what had happened until now.

They originally thought it would be a wonderful battle of wits, but the blood clan detective went completely crazy as if he had been affected by a strange power.

The only thing that was certain was that this was definitely not the ability of the Fallen Lord.

She would only let the enemy be in happiness and slowly melt, and it was never possible for her to make the enemy so crazy.

Then, it could only be the Princess's means.

"As expected of the Princess, how cruel..."

"Count Sergio seemed particularly afraid of her just now."

"Even the way the Fallen Lord looked at her became complicated."

Many demons gasped with the cold air of the morning, convinced that the judgment of this princess needed to be refreshed.

On the steps of the square in front of the palace.

"..."

Hyperion covered her cheeks and choked up.

She didn't know how to write the report for this Shadow World anymore. She didn't want to be a demon princess admired by all demons. She was human.

Although she didn't understand what happened specifically.

But she heard the sound of the merit deduction being successful and Lanqi's love.

Thank you, Lanqi.
