Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!

Chapter 225 Whisper Of The Demon

?

— (Alas... it's over, my body is about to be defiled by a demon...)

Holding such a thought, Heloise succumbed to the dizziness of magic exhaustion, helplessly losing consciousness.

After an unknown length of time, a delightful aroma of meat awakened Heloise from her slumber.

She groggily saw Felix sitting not far from her, gnawing on skewers one after another. 

Though the meat pieces on the skewers were small, each was substantial and not at all tough! 

Felix merely had to give a light bite, and the meat piece would separate from the twig-made skewer, enough to show how tender the meat was!

With the rich aroma of meat wafting around and watching the meat and juices being chewed back and forth in Felix's mouth, Heloise involuntarily swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva...

"Gurgle — "

Then, Heloise's stomach grumbled very discontentedly.

"You're awake, are you hungry?"

Felix looked towards Heloise. She wanted to reply "Yes!", but suddenly remembered that this guy is a demon! She hurriedly stood up to prepare for battle!

But that's when Heloise realized that she was actually tied to a tree! She couldn't move at all!

"You...! I...! Wretched demon! What do you want to do to the apostle of the Nefarious Tiger King?!"

Looking at the fire used to roast the meat in front of her, and then at the meat skewer in Felix's hand, Heloise was suddenly scared.

This guy wouldn't want to make her into a roast meat skewer, would he?! The Lord Earthly Ghost had said that demons especially liked to eat human flesh!

Thinking of this, Heloise didn't feel like eating anymore, she wanted to use her sleeve sword and foot sword to save herself, but found that all four swords had been removed; she wanted to forcibly activate a skill to break free from the bondage of the ropes, but the remaining magic energy was not enough...!

"Don't be so agitated, Miss Heloise, I'm not your enemy."

Just as Heloise was struggling hard, Felix brought a skewer of meat to her.

The aroma of the meat entered Heloise's nose, making her saliva uncontrollably secrete.

"Your stomach is hungry, isn't it? Have a bite first?"

Looking at the fragrant skewer, Heloise instinctively wanted to take a bite, but her remaining reason was telling her, she couldn't eat it! This is a demon's food!

"You... you must have poisoned it!"

Heloise forcefully suppressed her desire to take a bite, and turned her head to the side, out of sight, out of mind!

But, Felix walked in front of her again, and ate half a piece of meat in front of her.

"You see for yourself, there's no poison... Besides, if I wanted to kill you, why would I need to poison you?"

Felix held a sharp twig against Heloise's neck, as long as he wanted, he could immediately let the twig pierce Heloise's throat.

Heloise kept brainwashing herself in her heart, telling herself that all this was a demon's whisper, she must not believe... But ah, the skewer was too delicious, and what Felix said seemed to make sense...

Looking at the meat that had been brought to her lips, Heloise's reason and instinct were in fierce collision!

And the result of the collision was, reason lost to the instinct to survive, under the strong temptation, Heloise ate the half piece of meat left by Felix.

And then the second piece, the third piece...

Heloise ate one piece after another, one skewer after another, she just couldn't stop eating.

By the time she reacted, it had become Felix sitting on the side feeding her.

"Good girl, so good."

Felix was stroking Heloise's head like he was petting a little cat, which made her feel a subtle sense of shame, but she doesn't care about that now, she must quickly fill her stomach, only when she's full can she have the strength to kill this demon!

"Indeed, Heloise, I must admit that I did deceive you."

At this juncture, Felix suddenly began to confess earnestly to Heloise, who was somewhat puzzled. But since it didn't prevent her from eating her meat, she figured it wouldn't hurt to listen.

"The 'Banning' you have been seeking is actually me. Banning was my former name. Furthermore, this brown hair of mine is dyed; its original color is black."

Heloise remained silent, listening, for what Felix was revealing had already been relayed to her by the Lord Earthly Ghost.

"However, I think there's something you may have misunderstood. I am not a demon. In fact, to the contrary, I am actually a messenger of the Benevolent Deity."

"Huh?"

Until Felix uttered these words, Heloise could no longer remain passive. How could such a thing be possible?

"Cunning demon! Don't think you can fool me! Don't think that you can obscure the eyes of the envoy of the Nefarious Tiger King by offering a little sacrifice!"

Saying this, Heloise remembered that she had not yet covered her forbidden Eye of the Nefarious Tiger King and anxiously looked around for her eyepatch. 

However, the eyepatch was in Felix's hand. Seeing how much she valued it, he kindly helped her put it back on.

"Uh, thank you..."

"No problem."

Having been fed and helped with her eyepatch, Heloise felt a slight shift in her stance. She quickly cleared her throat to reiterate her position.

"Felix, the vile demon! Don't think that being nice to me can fool me! The apostle of the Nefarious Tiger King cannot be easily bought!"

Felix chuckled at this, and asked Heloise a question in return.

"Heloise, you keep calling me a demon, but on what grounds do you label me as such? What proof do you have?"

This left Heloise at a loss for words. 

The Lord Earthly Ghost had always directly told her who was a demon, but he had never explained how to differentiate a demon from a regular person. 

And since the Earthly Ghost Lord and the Shadow Serpent Society were clandestine entities that she couldn't disclose to outsiders, this made it even more difficult for Heloise to answer Felix's question.

"Um... uh..."

Unable to answer the question, Heloise felt a bit flustered. At this moment, Felix spoke words that further challenged Heloise's beliefs.

"Heloise, I think you might have gotten something wrong. But I won't blame you because, as I've said, I'm a messenger of the Benevolent Deity. If you're skeptical, I can prove it to you."

"...You can prove it?"

Heloise was curious. She believed in the Benevolent Deity, but she had never met one of its messengers before. Did Felix really have a way to prove it?

"Of course."

Felix stood up and surveyed the surroundings, as if looking for something.

"Normally, I cannot use the miracle bestowed upon me by the Benevolent Deity at will. But to save you, a lost lamb, I'll make an exception this time. I believe the Benevolent Deity will forgive me."

Felix cleared his throat and slowly raised both hands, his expression solemn and sacred.

"Blessed creatures of the Benevolent Deity, please come to my side and sit quietly."

Upon uttering these words, the surrounding bushes promptly rustled.

Soon, nocturnal animals such as squirrels, hedgehogs, foxes, lizards, snakes, and more gathered around him, obediently "sitting" in place.

Heloise was astounded. She had never witnessed such a sacred spectacle, not even during tigermen tribe sacrifices could animals be made to behave so obediently!

And these animals, who would typically attack and prey upon each other, were coexisting peacefully. It was nothing short of a miracle!

Thinking of this, Heloise could not help but gulp, her eyes wide with amazement.
