Kermione.
oh...
Kermir!
The name calmed Lei Ye down with incredible speed, and he instantly regained his composure.
He only shared information about Kermir with a small group of people.
But it's impossible for these people to mistake him for someone else.
There is only one possibility.
This person is Kermeleon's partner, also known as the Filth.
Thinking about the hourglass she just bought, one can be even more certain that she is indeed the vile one who activates time stop.
Great! I was just worried about not being able to find the caster's whereabouts, but unexpectedly, they dared to come to my door. They even made a misjudgment because Raino didn't publicize the existence and death of Kermir, and took the initiative to approach Raino.
Should we make a move?
In the end, we'll have to fight anyway, and there's no better time than now. This little thing is completely unprepared, she's even taken off her clothes. If we give her a stab now, she won't be able to take it.
Or you could swap twice in a row, use the stun mechanism in Kermir's skills to control her, and then torture her severely.
Seeing that Lei Ye didn't move, the little thing shouted again.
"I told you to kneel down and lick my feet, did you hear me! Look what you've done! I'm going to create a great terror. You're using my stagnation for pleasure, making the people of this city aware of this and devoid of any sense of awe. I'm very unhappy about this."
"I still remember that chance encounter. You swore you wouldn't cause me any trouble, but what about now?"
"As your senior, I can't be too harsh on you, but I must teach you a lesson. If you feel truly humiliated, then choose a way to punish yourself so that I can see your remorse."
Let's analyze this calmly first.
First, let's assess this guy's strength.
She claims to be a senior, so she must be a higher-level evil being. Theoretically speaking, Kermir's skill mechanism perfectly counters her, but she is very calm and has no worries, so she must have other tricks up her sleeve, and her strength is at least much greater than Kermir's.
While Kermir's skill mechanics are a bit nasty, her combat ability is actually quite weak.
Based on his experience fighting the filthy creatures so far, the most important lesson Lei Ye has learned is that you should never underestimate these things. Who knows if their skills have some special mechanics that specifically counter you? Always be vigilant to avoid being caught off guard.
Therefore, it would be best to let the little thing use the skill in front of him once. It's time stop, after all. Lei Ye felt that he had a high probability of being able to copy it.
At that time, not only will you be able to strengthen your own abilities, but you can also identify the weaknesses of this skill through self-examination, and then use those weaknesses to attack small things.
Get more in one fell swoop.
Of course, this was by no means because Raino wanted to learn how to stop time.
In short, considering all aspects, continuing to pretend to be Kermal is the right thing to do; it's inappropriate to start a fight right away.
But she said she wants to punish herself. How should she punish herself?
Licking was one thing, but Lei Ye had other methods. He thought of one and immediately got to work, pushing the little thing down onto the bed with one hand and then turning her over.
"You rude junior, what are you doing! Oh dear~"
Superb pressing techniques.
Back in his hometown, Lei Ye would occasionally give his mother a massage. On Line 1, Lei Ye would also occasionally treat his teammates in the same way. Perhaps his technique wasn't very good, but his strength was enough to make everyone satisfied.
He pressed his fist against the little thing's tiny sole, forcefully striking her pressure points. Sure enough, she immediately stopped resisting and made "ooh ooh ooh ooh" sounds.
Of course, Lei Ye wasn't flattering the enemy by massaging his feet; he was just trying to gain their trust by rubbing them with his hands while asking questions in a low voice.
"So, what brings you here? Are you here to support my mission or...?"
"How dare you speak to me like that? I need your...!"
"Oh, that's too formal, Xiao Dong... Lao Da, you're such a reliable senior, I respect and love you, doesn't that show that we have a good relationship?"
"You've probably been living in human society for too long and learned their tricks. Do you think they'll work on me? Oh, where are you pressing? It feels so good."
"As long as you're comfortable, come on, have some snacks."
Lei Ye's fingers climbed up the little thing's legs while kneading them... The legs were as thin as bamboo poles. He tossed some of Loya's carefully selected snacks over. The little thing was stunned for a moment, then took them and put them in its mouth to chew. Its originally deep and intelligent eyes quickly turned into Loya's.
"The food in this country is delicious!" the little creature exclaimed.
"It has nothing to do with this country. It's my wife who can get a lot of seasonings, so she can make these snacks."
"You're someone else's wife, aren't you? Cough... I forgive your misbehavior, but you must promise not to do it again. Also, to be honest, I'm used to you juniors' lack of manners. That's all for now," she said, reaching out her hand, "and some more snacks..."
So Lei Ye tossed two more bags over, and the little guy happily took them and hugged them.
These snacks were made by Venus using leftover ingredients, and there was almost nothing left to eat. However, Raino would not easily share them with outsiders. The reason he gave them to this little thing was to see how she would eat while wearing a mask.
Of course, she simply lifted her mask and chewed it in large mouthfuls.
However, after removing the mask, she immediately frowned, as if she was very uncomfortable. Every few tens of seconds, she had to put the mask back on and breathe heavily.
The box behind them looks like some kind of oxygen cylinder.
"When the fighting starts, we'll attack this first," Lei Ye thought.
"Do you need support for your mission? Is it not going well?"
"It's going smoothly, but it's still in the planning stages. Sir, what else did you come here for if not to help me?"
"Of course, I'm here to do dirty work just like everyone else. Speaking of which, the person you possessed is really dangerous. He managed to kill two of our kind in a row. I still can't understand how he did it."
As she spoke, she moved closer and touched Lei Ye's muscles.
"Clearly a human being... yet possesses such vile power?"
Then, startled, he withdrew his hand.
"Strange, this power is almost on the same level as that of a great wicked person like myself. Why is that? How did he do it?"
It made a thoughtful expression, and after a moment, the little thing came to a conclusion and nodded repeatedly.
"So this is what makes him so strange: he can plunder the power of evil. No wonder the higher-ups ordered him to be sent away as soon as possible. But since he's so dangerous, why not just get rid of him?"
Although her approach was a bit off, she somehow managed to come up with an answer.
Raino is indeed able to plunder the power of evil, and not just cut it but copy it. As for the power of evil, it was actually a gift from his wife and has little to do with Raino.
However, Raino didn't get any particularly useful information from those words.
First, she said "great evil," so there should also be "lesser evil." The power difference between Ye Lei, Kepolis, and Kemilien is very obvious. According to this classification, Ye Lei is the "great evil," and the other two are the "lesser evil."
It's a really simple and crude way of classifying people.
According to Xiao Dongxi, she is on the same level as Ye Lei.
That's dangerous. It's right to be cautious around her.
As for the sentence that follows.
"What did they say was...?" Raino asked cautiously.
The reason he has to ask is precisely because he knows nothing, but also because he knows nothing, asking this question may cause him to contradict Kermir's character and be discovered, so he has to be careful.
Fortunately, the little thing just glanced at him helplessly and shook its head.
"Don't ask things you shouldn't ask. I don't understand why he's being treated so well, but there must be a reason. Just do your job well."
"oh."
It seems that even senior employees at the same level as Ye Lei have limited information from their superiors. The little thing, like Ye Lei, doesn't know why the wicked boss treats Lei Ye with special favor.
This issue can probably only be understood when confronting so-called superiors.
In addition, doing dirty work...
"Do you want to kill everyone in this city too, Prisoner?"
"I already said that feeding me is dirty work, it must be routine cleaning. Don't be so blunt, it makes me very uncomfortable."
Lei Ye's heart skipped a beat. Although she was certain that the little thing had come to kill again, she could sense the little thing's discomfort from her words. She seemed to have little interest in killing.
Does this mean we're finally going to encounter good and evil people besides Ye Lei?
"Anyway, I plan to stay here and enjoy myself for a while. How long until you depart?"
"A week from now...? I still have some things to prepare." Raino thought for a moment before answering.
Anyway, it's just to fool her. If things don't work out by then, we'll just keep dragging it out.
"Is that so? You're doing quite well now. How about I stay at your house for a while? It'll be a chance for you to show respect to your elders. You should be grateful."
"9
"Big Brother, you're getting quieter and quieter because you've realized this isn't something to be ashamed of, right? And I'm sorry, I can't take you to my house because there are a lot of people living there. If you come, I won't be able to explain it to them, and it might ruin my disguise."
"oh..."
"Hey, Prisoner, is it true you didn't bring any money? That outfit looks expensive, you don't have any?"
"My storage bag was taken by a wild animal, and I only have this one piece of clothing left. I can't very well sell it..."
The little thing's voice grew softer and softer, as if it were a little embarrassed.
To Lei Ye, this reason seemed a bit absurd, probably just an excuse. But then he thought that this person with the ability to stop time hadn't stolen or robbed anyone, and was just debating whether or not to sell her own clothes. She had already won over him, this lecherous guy who had just discovered the ability to stop time and was already stealing other people's shoes everywhere. So he decided to forgive her.
And all the problems that can be solved with money are not problems for Lei Ye.
He skillfully took out several large gold coins from his storage bag and handed them to the little guy. To be honest, he had done this many times recently, and it seemed that he had gradually gotten used to taking out money to spend on others.
Is it because it's not money they earned that they don't feel bad spending it?
And thinking about it carefully, it seems like he's been spending all his money on women lately, and almost all of that money came from his deceased wife. It doesn't seem very ethical of him to do that...
"Just stay in this room for now, don't worry about the money, I'll take care of it."
The little thing raised an eyebrow slightly. "Not bad, you're quite savage. People of the filth usually don't contact each other much, but from today onwards, I'll protect you. If you encounter anything you can't handle, just come to me."
"Oh, it's nothing, Prisoner, go on. How do you plan to finish this, uh... cleaning work?"
"It's very simple. I will announce the arrival of Kroc to this city with my actions and create an unparalleled terror! If the people of this city are sensible enough to leave, I can go back and report. But if they are stubborn, I won't mind killing them one by one."
Kroc, that must be the little thing's name.
Her plan was similar to Ye Lei's action of lifting the roof before leaving; both were meant to scare people away, rather than resorting to brute force like Cepolis did.
But Lei Ye knew that ordinary methods would be useless against Xierlius; to scare him away, he would have to bleed a lot first.
We can't let Kroc do anything reckless.
Lei Ye quickly figured out what he could do right now.
"Why don't I assist you, Kroclawda?"
"Um?"
"Big Brother, this mission of mine isn't urgent. I can leave anytime. But you've just arrived in this city and don't know anyone. Didn't you say you wanted to play around for a few days? You really need a guide like me. And consider this my way of making amends for my previous misdeeds and assisting your horror-making plan."
"Kemiren, you...you've really learned a lot from humans," a touch of emotion appeared on Kerrok's pretty face. "Very well, I've already said I'd take you as my subordinate, and it would be too disappointing to keep refusing a subordinate's offer of service. I agree!"
well.
During the few days she was having fun, Lei Ye could continue to observe the habits of this monstrous creature up close, an opportunity even more precious than a photographer successfully integrating into a hyena pack on the savanna.
During this time, Raino can gather as much information as possible.
And if she were to make a move, Lei Ye could immediately launch a backstab; she would never expect that her newly recruited underling would stab her in the back.
This time it went so smoothly.
"Then I need your help with something..."
"What?"
"Help me change my clothes; this outfit is very uncomfortable."
Raino then remembered that Kerro was only wearing a set of underwear, but her small size made her seem devoid of any feminine charm, causing Raino to subconsciously overlook this fact.
As for clothes...
Lei Ye rummaged through the storage bag and found that it contained almost nothing but women's shoes and various socks. There were not many women's clothes, and the few sets that were there were all Ye Lei's old clothes.
He silently took out one of his old clothes and handed it over.
"Hey, can you make do with this for now?"
Kroc put the garment on, leaving most of her shoulders bare and the hem covering her knees, so she didn't even need to wear pants.
"The size is a bit too big, but I'm used to wearing loose clothes like this, so I'll leave it like this for now... What about underwear?"
No, that's not true.
He had no interest in underwear, so he didn't collect any, and even if he did, they wouldn't match Kroc's size.
No wonder her underwear was so old-fashioned; it was elastic to hold her in place.
Lei Ye doesn't even have that kind of thing.
However, he had a sudden inspiration and thought of other things that might be useful.
"Will this work...?"
Kerro was taken aback when he saw the several bandages that Lei Ye had shown.
".——.Alright."
