Chapter 33: Dekan's Dangerous Probing

Outside the Demon Laboratory.

I closed my eyes, preparing for a big show.

This would showcase my professionalism as an actor.

Before I could even reach out to push open the laboratory door, it suddenly swung open on its own.

A slender arm reached out from inside, grabbed my collar, and dragged me in.

I felt my body lose its weight for a moment.

In her hands, I was like a cotton doll.

The next moment, I felt a sharp pain in my back.

I was powerless as she pinned me against the wall.

The scene before my eyes finally froze.

The interior of this Demon Laboratory looked like a dark prison, a thick smell of blood permeating the air, as if it were a slaughterhouse without butcher knives.

Numerous strange utensils could be seen on the tables and cabinets, covered in bloodstains. It might be more appropriate to describe them as torture instruments.

I had previously calculated the building area and room division patterns of the Demon Academy in the corridor.

I had also estimated the area of the Demon Laboratory.

However, the area of the Demon Laboratory I saw was smaller than my estimation.

This meant there should be a hidden compartment inside the Demon Laboratory, which was likely Olive's secret cage for hiding humans.

I shifted my gaze from the laboratory's surroundings to the female demon in front of me.

I finally saw her full appearance.

She must be Miss Olive.

Her looks were bewitching with a hint of malevolence. A long black gauze dress was wrapped tightly around her body, outlining her full curves, and a scorpion tail swayed behind her.

Her eyes were full of mockery and playfulness, staring straight at me. Those soul-snatching pupils seemed to want to suck my soul away.

But soon, a trace of slight surprise gradually blossomed in her eyes.

Looking into my eyes, she surprisingly couldn't feel a hint of fear from me.

And I had no intention of struggling, remaining calm all along.

Olive frowned, but soon, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

The impulse to enjoy this little demon immediately was suppressed.

She looked at me more seriously.

She seemed particularly interested in my unique attitude and those cold eyes.

"Why aren't you afraid?" Olive asked.

"Why should I be afraid?" I replied.

"Your life is already under my control."

"But what you want is not my life."

“......”

Olive was slightly silent.

"Oh? Then answer me, what do I want?"

Olive's pink lips, like crystal cherries, parted slightly, unabashedly curving into a dangerous smile.

She continued, "If you answer correctly, I will do as you say. If you answer incorrectly, I will make you die a very painful death~"

I answered coldly, "I don't like the smell here."

I didn't directly answer Olive's question.

Instead, I said something that puzzled Olive.

To cover up the smell of blood, the laboratory was also filled with a strong perfume scent, which, when mixed, was particularly uncomfortable for my nose.

I had been annoyed by it for a while.

As for Olive's previous question, I knew the answer, but I would never say it.

Answering incorrectly would make Olive think I was boring, and she would then torture and kill me cruelly.

Answering correctly, it was very likely the audience would never see me again.

Actually, I could have answered with anything else.

Olive was somewhat interested in me now.

As long as I could maintain Olive's interest, she wouldn't kill me and would be continuously lured.

I had to take the lead step by step like this.

"You don't like it?"

Olive was a little curious about what I meant and asked.

"Mm, it's mixed with too much blood smell that shouldn't be there. Not just demon students, but also demon teachers, and even... humans? Teacher Olive, just how much do you indulge your desires?"

I answered absentmindedly.

This caused a drastic change in Olive's expression, from initial shock to current anger, and even an unconcealable killing intent.

If she had only heard "demon students," Olive wouldn't have been too surprised.

It was normal for teachers to slaughter students in this school.

But.

How could a student have discovered that she preyed on demon teachers and secretly kept humans?

One had to know that secretly keeping humans in the school was a violation, and among teachers, one could not kill another unless the other party had committed a serious violation.

Connecting this with the strange things she had heard happening in the school today, she couldn't help but start to suspect—

Could it be that someone from above really came to inspect?

"Who on earth are you?"

Olive's hand strangling my neck tightened a bit, and her eyes finally stopped hiding the viciousness etched into her bones.

However, I didn't become panicked at all. Instead, a faint smile finally appeared on my lips, "Hehe, I'm just a passing student. If you want to kill me, do it quickly."

“......”

Olive looked at my face and fell into deep thought.

Her first reaction was: the other party was luring her into violating the rules.

She really couldn't act rashly anymore.

After a moment of silence, Olive changed her tense attitude, released the hand strangling my neck, and then moved it up gently, caressing my cheek.

"If you keep playing dumb, you really will die, you know, young man? I have ways to kill you without violating the rules. Or if you have any bad intentions, I will definitely be able to kill you before I die."

Along with these words, her scorpion tail was already pressed tightly against my lower abdomen.

Don't be fooled by Olive's gentle and lovely expression now; her killing intent at this moment might be heavier than at any moment before.

I could feel the sharp, cold, and fatally poisonous scorpion tail could pierce my flesh at any time.

The good news now was that Olive had successfully mistaken me for an inspector.

She no longer coveted my body and life and was willing to follow the rules.

The bad news was also that Olive had mistaken me for an inspector.

She had become strongly guarded.

If I messed up next and triggered the killing mechanism, although the Dekan-style mutual destruction tactic could work, the risk was also very high.

I would need to time it right to simultaneously equip the Cursed Doll (2x pain reflection) and summon the Ruined Poet (10x pain sensation), combined with the already equipped Crown of Agony (3x pain sensation, health lock) to achieve 60x pain feedback.

Also, the poison was a bit troublesome.

In this life, I hated enemies who used poison the most.

They were all despicable and shameless fellows.

Fortunately, being benevolent and skillful, I was proficient in detoxification.

But unless it was absolutely necessary, I wouldn't go to this step with Olive.

After all, the mutual destruction secret art could only be used once a month, and it was super painful.

I lowered my head and remained silent.

My fingers trembled slightly, as if with a slight tremor.

I looked like I was trying hard to control it, but I couldn't stop the trembling from getting worse.
