The Demonic World I designed-Chapter 668 - 658: Centrifugation!

The old gentleman looked at the other party with eyes that betrayed neither joy nor anger, utterly calm.

He had lived longer than Zi Yue, being the earliest among the designers to become a player. He had encountered and seen countless individuals; he had seen many clever people like Shen Qi. Apart from that one member of the Siao Family, who gave him a distinct sense of danger, he had little interest in the humans of this world.

He was not like that hot-blooded youth, the King of Qin. Mister Five Poison was born with a deadly poison; the moment he left the womb, his family, having lost their immunity, would quickly die a miserable death. As a child, he only had two choices—either attempt to explain, which usually ended badly as he would be beaten to a pulp by an angry mob, triggering a nearly unsolvable poisonous epidemic throughout the entire village or even town.

Over and over, he understood that to survive, to prevent greater devastation, he could only try to flee from people as soon as he was born. Yet, his young body could not survive in the wild, so each time, to keep a secret and prevent word of his presence from spreading, he would decisively poison everyone around him.

If he was born in a remote village, it was somewhat better, as the entire village would perish and hardly anyone would visit the place, except for tax collection, allowing him enough time to grow.

If born in a bustling city, however, it was much more troublesome. After poisoning a few neighboring families, he would still need to hide and wait to be taken in. But early on, he couldn’t control his innate talent, and most well-meaning people who took him in would soon be poisoned to death. freёwebnoѵel.com

He did not want it this way, but that was his talent. If such a person wanted to live peacefully, he had to devalue human life, continually hypnotizing himself that these people were not truly members of the Human Race.

Only then could he boldly continue to live with peace of mind... after poisoning all his relatives to death, even after poisoning those who had been kind and nurtured him.

He did not believe that demons and humans could coexist. The King of Qin’s blasted plan couldn’t solve his problem at all.

Yet, Chen Qing seemed to be able to...

He did not know how long he could maintain the respect of the people around him, but he hoped it would last a bit longer. Mister Five Poison’s lifespan was never long; he had never found a way to evolve, always dying before the age of thirty-five. Each reincarnation subjected him to those disgusting experiences anew.

Chen Qing offered him the position of the Great Hell Ruler, and this unique system seemed to allow him to live a little longer in this life.

Honestly, he didn’t have much faith in Chen Qing. No one was more aware than he, one of the first players to be persecuted, of how strong the guild’s power was. But his time had peaked; living more than sixty years in this life was already a rare miracle. Without Chen Qing’s help this time, he likely would have turned into a poisonous plague, kickstarting another cycle of reincarnation.

He did not know how long his appointment as the Great Hell Ruler would let him live, but he wished to enjoy these days for a little longer.

Therefore... he rather disliked this person before him, pretending to be so clever.

Shen Qi was a perceptive man. Although the other’s face showed no emotion, he still keenly sensed the dislike.

But to be honest, he wasn’t too fond of him either...

The records of Mister Five Poison were long noted in the history of his family. This demon delighted in killing. Unlike other demons who killed to satisfy their hunger, he was different; he couldn’t consume the people he poisoned to death, yet he insisted on doing so.

In the most recent millennium, the largest-scale poisonous epidemics were all connected to Mister Five Poison, according to investigations by the Grand Sorcerers.

Such a monster was not only taken in by his lord but also appointed as the Great Hell Ruler of the Southeast!

Really... is that appropriate?

For the first time, Shen Qi felt a thread of unease about the future of Jiangnan...

This unease did not come from external threats!

The Southeast was not so simple, and the other members of the Shen Family didn’t even know about the kind of people that existed here!

A few days ago, Chen Qing had clarified his identity to him and Wei Gongcheng. Wei Gongcheng chose to fully trust Chen Qing, but Shen Qi was not one to easily give his complete trust, especially after the actions Chen Qing had taken.

Those people from another world, who came from the same place as Chen Qing... it was uncertain whether they could really be considered human. They were descending upon the Southeast in large numbers!

And coincidentally, the position of the Great Hell Ruler in the Southeast was given to such an eerie being as Mister Five Poison.

Could this be coincidence?

Or, does his lord have some other intentions?

His lord promised to treat everyone equally; those from beyond the skies would have no special privileges after entering the cycle of reincarnation, except for a few individuals.

Shen Qi knew that there was a small number of people whose memories would not be wiped out!

Mister Five Poison, serving as the Great Hell Ruler, found himself in a place where a group of external beings was intent on preserving their memories...

No matter how it was viewed, it didn’t seem simple.

If the true intention was to have those creatures from beyond assimilate completely into the world, why not assign the Shen Family to monitor this group of outsiders?

Why would they...

"Mr. Shen Qi," Mister Five Poison said indifferently, looking at Shen Qi. "Why have you taken the trouble to personally come for Bingyun?"

"Ha ha... Why would you say that, sir?" Shen Qi snapped back to reality and smiled. "You know just how important Bingyun is, and among everyone, I’m the one with the least to do. Is there anyone more suitable to come fetch him than me?"

"That’s true..." Mister Five Poison nodded and then said to Murong Bingyun, "Then Bingyun, you shall depart with Lord Shen Qi as soon as possible."

Murong Bingyun was startled. For some reason, he always felt that there was a disconnect between the two men.

Mr. Shen Qi was a person he greatly respected, and the Great Hell Ruler had been mentoring him diligently; he also held immense respect for this elder in his heart. He truly hoped there would be no conflict between them...

"Yes, sir... Bingyun thanks you for your guidance during this time!"

Mister Five Poison waved his hand and was about to turn back into the world of the underworld when Shen Qi suddenly spoke up: "Sir, if you would wait."

"What else is there?" Mister Five Poison frowned.

He did not particularly enjoy dealing with this individual.

"I wonder... have the external newcomers been taken care of?"

Mister Five Poison turned back and fixed a direct gaze on Shen Qi, who met it squarely, the collision of their gazes in midair clearly reflective of the sharp clash of intent, causing a surge of anxiety in Murong Bingyun.

"This is not a matter for Mr. Shen Qi to concern himself with."

"I’m merely inquiring on behalf of His Majesty," Shen Qi said with a smile.

"His Majesty?" Mister Five Poison’s lips curled into a smile, chillingly sinister. "Chen Qing, he would not have you inquire into this."

Shen Qi: "...."

His worst fears had materialized!

"You and His Majesty... are you of the same kind?"

At these words, Mister Five Poison’s expression changed for the first time, quickly turning towards the other man with eyes filled with surprise!

And that surprise sent Shen Qi’s heart plunging into the depths!

He was correct in his suspicions... a being like Mister Five Poison... was truly...

He had harbored doubts for some time, that those demons undying through cycles of reincarnation could all be the same kind of being as His Majesty.

But if that was the case...

Shen Qi’s face noticeably paled, the realization leaving no warmth in his heart!

If... the misfortunes of this world had been instigated by a group like His Majesty from the start, then... was his purpose truly to make the Human Race... better?
