Hellbents
Chapter 190: Among Us
But no matter how much hate and disgust Ava feels about the foreign woman, she knows that covering up her true feelings during the first meeting will always bring long-term benefits. Ava had no idea what a demon could do without the help of [System], how the woman was related to Lucifer and his other brother, mainly he had not obtained enough information to determine whether the woman before him would be an opponent or comrade in the gate mission this time. So, he behaved normally, normally in the sense of an ordinary person when meeting a demon directly in front of them.
"You .. You're the devil, aren't you?" Ava dyed her voice with trembling fear, acting of course. Ellijah automatically makes his sturdy body as a barrier, covering Ava from the view of women with red glowing eyes, making Ava's performance more convincing and trusted.
"You guys are acting so sweet and the answer to your question is right, sweetheart, I'm devil~"
Losing access to a skill that basically lays out the complete biodata of the interlocutor, does not mean Ava can not hypothesize. Well, maybe Ava based her weight assessment on stereotypes, but she was almost sure that the woman was ... Asmodeus.
Satan is the embodiment of lust.
Ew.
"Don't call him "Dear"!" Ellijah almost barked, turned around and covered Ava's ears with both arms, half hugging the girl. Only a blind man would not see the man's possessiveness.
"Aww, a puppy does not want to lose his toy~" Ava does not like how Asmo refers to it in that sentence. But before he could throw a passive-aggressive response, they were interrupted by the appearance of a blinding light.
"Agh! Whahuh? Huh huh? This is not my home page!"
"... What the girl said was true, there's another mission waiting for us."
"No way!" Followed by dozens of vulgar curses and angry leg blows.
"Mom, where are we?"
"Um, we'll .. play again. So stay close to mom, huh?"
A panicked and angry old man, three teenagers whispering to each other, and a pair of children.
Now, there are 9 people in total.
All the players have gathered
Role will be shared
Kavui was a prosperous kingdom thanks to the cooperation between the king and his aides. But one day the wise king was found dead in his bed. Find the traitor who killed the king!
Reach the end of the story to complete this mission!
All put on a serious face, their gaze focused on an invisible hologram that only they could see each one of them.
So did Ava, whose dark bead narrowed, look at the text explaining her role.
***
Attention is immediately shifted to the origin of the sound. "Alright, everyone~ Let's all work together in uncovering the traitor who deserves punishment! Well, what about telling me your roles?~"
... J@lang smart. In a situation that is still ambiguous like this, it is important to take the first initiative as a step to build a positive image, plus to drive the direction of the conversation at will.
Unfortunately, it wasn't just Asmodeus who was good at talking in that room.
"I don't want to follow the orders of the demons," Ava spat out her words, scathing and deliberately sharp.
"Devil?!"
"What's? I thought he was just a beastman I hadn't seen."
"Well! How dare!"
"Mom, isn't-"
"Ssh, just shut up, kid."
Although the woman's mouth remained attracted to form a smile, the corners were stiff and her lips were thinning. Ava challenged Asmo's amused gaze which began to blink dimly. His fake persona started to waver.
"Devil or not, isn't it important for all of us to work together, hm?~ Or Princess has a role that does not want to be revealed? For example ... traitor we are looking~"
"Don't accuse me of being reckless!" Ellijah took a defensive stance. Ava appreciates the man's efforts even though they have not discussed their respective roles.
But the two attacks had already been thrown, 6 people who had just observed and threw side comments began to look around him with disbelief.
That's when another notification pops up.
Ding!
Role has been shared. Don't forget to complete a personal mission and capture the traitor!
Followed by the rays that burn the retina, Ava will not get used to this, the girl finds herself switching locations. A large, neat room with the main theme of red wood. He also realized that his clothes had changed, not the dress he accidentally torn his skirt to make it easier to run, but a simple pale brown dress accompanied by a maroon suit with a gold accent.
Maybe this is the outfit of the role that Ava played.
Speaking of roles ....
"[Cheque: Role]"
He clucked, still not liking the role he got. Unknowingly, Ava bit her lips until they bled.
