Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

Chapter 137 136. Tonight!

The scene abruptly changed after that. At this time, the girl was locked inside her room as the butler continued to knock on her door from the outside. His panicked voice echoed from the outside.

"My lady, please don't shut the door," he said as he knocked louder. "If you have a panic attack, we will only be delayed. Please, listen to me, my lady!"

The girl finally had a smile on her face as she stared at the locket around her neck. Should she try to make a wish? Or not?

That man did say her wishes would be fulfilled.

She clutched the round ruby locket tightly in her palms and finally closed her eyes. She muttered a few words under her breath.

"Please, let this palace disappear from the real world. Let this place transfer to the demon realm, and let all of my servants become my puppets. Let me be the nightmare they would never bring to pass."

At this time, no one but Shane could hear them. Ah, probably Hope too, if she's still awake.

But after she finished speaking, the locket started glowing so much that it started turning hot in her palms. After a while, she couldn't hold it anymore as the air around her turned colder and colder. She took deep breaths as she tried to calm herself.

She was more happy than scared by the changes around her. The entire area outside turned darker and darker as the beautiful scenery from the garden disappeared out of the blue. It got covered up in a strange fog that had several eyes.

? It stared deeply at her and bowed.

The butler's voice echoed through the fog. "My lady, what can we do for you?"

The girl stared at the fog for a while before laughing all of a sudden. Her laugh wasn't a good one. Instead, she acted more and more like a demon who had gone mad for some reason. She covered her face with her palms as she stared at the fog with an evil glint in her eyes.

"You guys tried to feed me humans, didn't you?! Fine, I curse you to eat humans to satisfy your stomach every fifteen days! I don't care how you find humans. You have all the means possible. Now, go and entertain me!"

The fog seemed to tremble. All the eyes looked panicked, but they didn't have the ability to express their emotions. They just bowed and disappeared out of the blue.

Just when the girl was about to become even happier, the man who had handed her the locket appeared before her eyes out of the blue. His misty body transformed into an image that smiled at her.

"Are you enjoying this?"

The girl nodded as a trace of blush spread across her face. "Thank you!"

"Not so soon, dear girl. I haven't even asked for payment for my service. How can you thank me so soon?"

The girl frowned but still nodded. She didn't doubt the man in front of her. He had helped her a lot. How come she feels suspicious? No matter how bad her mental condition was, she was still only a little girl.

The man smiled and said, "I just need your soul. That's it."

"Why?" asked the girl in a confused manner.

"Once you die, your soul will be mine. Do we agree or not?"

"What if I won't agree….?" The girl asked with hesitancy.

"Everything you asked for will disappear."

There was a trace of panic in her eyes as she took a deep breath and said, "Okay. You can have my soul."

In any case, she was still alive. As long as she had this locket, she could even ask for immortality. Even if she died, she would just take care of the matter when the time came. She wasn't very worried.

It was time for the entire world to be at her feet!

She laughed hysterically for a while until she felt her body getting heavier. She frowned.

The mist of the man had disappeared, so why was she feeling so heavy? It was almost as if she wanted to sleep deeply.

She took a deep breath and shook her head. No, it might just be that she was a little sleepy. Yeah, that was probably it.

She took a deep breath and lay down on the bed, covering herself with a soft blanket. Then she closed her eyes.

That was the last time she was awake.

Shane's body was suddenly thrown outside of memory.

He felt complicated in his heart as he stared at the girl sleeping soundly. This little girl was mentally unstable and doubted her servants. Why did she imagine they were giving her humans instead of food?

He sighed and shook his head. Now she was suffering because of her own deeds.

He reached out and took the locket after some thought. He stared at it for a moment before grabbing it firmly in his palms. He clenched his fist, crushing the ruby locket into dust.

Just after that, the entire place around him started to crumble. He also received a notification in the menu.

He instantly opened it to find that his mission was accomplished.

"Yo, good work, partner."

Shane didn't comment as he leaned back against the bed and said, "Who is your partner? I'm not. You only know how to hide things from me, don't you?"

"Shane, I won't have to tell you anything. You'll find out for yourself soon."

Shane frowned at that sentence. Before he could say another word, the world around him crumbled to dust. The ceiling fell over his body, making a jolt of pain flood through it.

He frowned as he pursed his lips, trying hard to control his urge to vomit.

It was always like that when he died. As a system, he never had to feel the pain, but when his role was reversed thanks to a certain girl, he felt that heart-wrenching pain returning to him.

He held it all in as his body went through tremendous pain. It was as if a swarm of scorpions stung him all over.

He endured and endured while cursing at a certain girl.

Why didn't she give him pain relief? He should have bought one at the last minute!

That was the last thing on his mind when he blanked out.

When Shane opened his mouth, he was already standing in a familiar room. The portal was there to his right as he stared at the place in a daze.

No wonder the hosts were mostly crazy. Who could remain sane after experiencing such intense pain after transmigrating to every world?

After that, he turned to look at a certain girl who was about to escape the room. "Hope! Stop where you are and answer my questions first!"

The hooded woman stopped in her tracks and scratched the back of her neck. "Shane... what a pleasant surprise! We got out so easily...."

Shane stood up and folded his hands on his chest, staring at her with his brows raised. He acted like a king who was asking his subordinate about what the latter had done wrong.

Hope cursed under her breath and said, "Damn it, this man has always been like this. I just wish he was a little humble!"

"What did you say? I didn't hear it."

"It wasn't meant for you to hear!"

Shane squinted his eyes as he grabbed her wrist and pushed her against the wall. Then he put his hands on either side of her, staring down at her coldly.

"Speak."

Hope looked around as she chuckled nervously. "Wow, your hands are so firm."

She even lightly touched his wrist, only to be pushed aside. Shane's expression turned even colder.

"What are you hiding from me?"

Hope was silent for a while as she lowered her head, probably trying to think of a way to escape, but Shane wouldn't let her have her way no matter what.

Now that he looked at her carefully, he had seen her before. He still remembered that strange person saving her when Ed had thrown her into the monsters at the start. This was the same person who had saved him before, and he had lost consciousness because of her.

He almost thought he was hallucinating back then.

When the girl saw the other guy's expression turning colder and colder, she shivered as she coughed. "You'll get your reply tonight."

Shane frowned. "What?"

"Tonight..." she looked at her watch. "No, in an hour to be precise. Just wait for the news and get in touch with me. I'll guide you for sure."

"Are you bluffing me? I'm not letting you go anywhere without getting anything." Shane glared at her and used his right hand to tug on the hood that covered her face. "Why do you have to hide your face like this? Tsk, still being secretive after working together in so many worlds like this."

Just as he was about to pull it, he suddenly felt a jolt of strong energy pushing him away. His eyes widened as his entire body was thrown back, colliding with the wall with a thud. The bricks broke apart, creating a huge sound.

Shane groaned.

When he stood up after a while, he only found that the girl had disappeared out of the blue.

He stared at the place where she was still standing. He could see the traces of divine magic that were used just now.

So she still ran away.

Fine, he would see what kind of surprise was waiting for him tonight.
