When Vivian fell from the sky with a thud, the blood-red moon in the sky disappeared immediately after, losing its suppression of the blood moonlight. The undead armors around suddenly became active again, with the clattering of metal friction resounding all around. Muyun quickly lifted her giant brick, preparing for battle. However, the first to act was the demon who almost scared everyone to death: the terrifying creature, standing at five meters tall, raised its hand and grabbed the air. In an instant, the sea of fire and dense clouds in the sky disappeared without a trace. At the same time, Vivian also felt the demon energy around her rapidly weakening, and even the energy reaction of the demon stone slowly disappeared.
The undead armors in the underground palace were originally stimulated by the demon stone, so when the stimulation source was suddenly cut off, they naturally lost their commands. In addition, the Leta runes on these armors had been severely damaged by the stimulation of the demon energy, and now that even the demon energy had disappeared, these guards completely lost their drive. All the armors simultaneously emitted a rapid trembling sound, then fell to the ground motionless.
The undead guards that had posed such a big threat to Lin Feng and the others were resolved just like that.
The giant demon nodded, seeming very satisfied with its actions. Then, it once again lowered itself to the ground, trying hard to align its line of sight with Lin Feng's (though due to the huge disparity in height, this was almost impossible). It looked at the metal plate in its hand, which seemed to be inscribed with phonetic symbols: "Um... ni... ni shi wo de fang dong ma?"
After saying this, the demon looked at Lin Feng expectantly. However, Lin Feng's mind was still in a daze, and the strange situation in front of him almost made him lose his ability to think. It wasn't until he felt a burning sensation on his head that he reacted: the demon was spitting out sparks while speaking, and it had set his hair on fire!
"Ouch ouch ouch..." Lin Feng frantically patted his head, fortunately knocking off the sparks before his hair caught fire. Then, before the demon could speak again, he jumped several steps to the side. "Hold on, don't speak yet. I'm worried for your accent."
He then hurriedly took out a data terminal from his pocket. "Tiebing, what's going on?!"
"You lack sufficient respect for this terminal, especially with the highly insulting nickname you've given it," the data terminal seemed to enjoy responding in Lin Feng's mind, now even skipping the subtitles, "But I'm still happy to tell you: this is the situation."
Lin Feng looked at the terrifying creature burning with flames and magma, swallowing hard. "Do you have a demon language translation package?"
The data terminal snorted, "You finally remember the correct way to use this terminal? What about when you were using it to hit people before?"
Lin Feng raised the data terminal up and down, "If you keep babbling, I'll tie you to a stick, and you'll spend the rest of your life as a hammer."
The demon's eyes widened in surprise as it looked at Lin Feng, then flexed its muscles, spraying magma from its biceps. "How did you become a demon... Oh, right, you're an inspector, so nothing you do is surprising. Does that mean you're my landlord? Why did you come now?"
Lin Feng was completely confused. He never expected that the new tenant arranged by Crow12345 would be such a shocking figure, let alone that his conversation with a demon would take place in such an atmosphere! However, what he was more curious about now was: why was this demon summoned by a demon stone sealed hundreds of years ago, and didn't Crow12345 say that this new tenant had just arrived?
"When did you come?" Lin Feng spoke cautiously, still observing the demon's movements carefully. Even if the other party seemed easy to talk to, he had to maintain a high level of vigilance. After all, this was a creature described as a malevolent being in all human cultural systems, and in the ultimate boss rankings, demons were not comparable to werewolves or vampires—however, why would Crow12345, the self-proclaimed goddess, arrange for him to receive a demon?!
"I? I've been here for half a month. Most of the time during this half month, I've been sleeping. I just sensed some movement outside." The demon sprayed sparks as it spoke. Lin Feng had to keep jumping around to prevent himself from being ignited. This demon was surprisingly sincere, speaking only while looking into the other's eyes, making Lin Feng feel like he was talking to a blast furnace.
"Half a month?" Lin Feng was amazed. He pointed to the demon stone not far away. "This stone has been sealed in the castle for hundreds of years! You've only been here for half a month? Isn't this stone yours?"
"No." The demon shook its head, spraying out a large amount of flames. "I don't know whose it is, and I've never seen anything like it. But I found it suitable as a medium for power, so I connected my power to it. I was sleeping in another dimension and needed a doorbell."
Lin Feng thought about the ordeal he and the others had gone through, the disturbance in the underground palace, the awakening of the undead guards, and Angus being blocked by a rune wall, realizing that the true cause of all these events was himself! It was because the stone sensed Lin Feng's presence nearby that the power left by the demon inside it began to act, leading to a series of subsequent problems.
There were still many aspects of the whole process that he didn't understand, but the general course of events should be roughly correct.
"What a mess..." Lin Feng figured it all out and suddenly felt like crying. Then, he remembered a crucial question he hadn't figured out yet. "Wait a minute! Crow12345 said there would be a mutual induction when I met the new tenant, so where is the induction?"
"There was an induction." The data terminal spoke up, "Didn't you feel it the moment you met this big guy just now?"
"What did I feel?"
"A 'boom' in your head."
Lin Feng was dumbfounded. "Just that one time? That's induction?!"
"What else do you want?" The data terminal was quite confident. "Considering your slow brain, regular voice prompts and vibration modes probably wouldn't get your attention when it's critical, so I specifically arranged the most attention-grabbing reminder..."
Lin Feng: "...You could have warned me that it would be deadly, couldn't you?!"
