Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

Under the eerie gazes of everyone present, as if they were looking at a madman, two minotaur guards in heavy armor carried the iron cage covered with a red cloth up to the second floor.

He respectfully placed the iron cage on the carpet of the No. 3 VIP room, took the money bag that Jiang Luo had thrown over, and left without even raising his head.

Jiang Luo jumped off the sofa, her two bare white little feet stepping on the soft carpet as she walked to the front of the iron cage.

He gave Shadow a look, and Shadow snapped the steel chains on the iron cage.

The girl with long, straight black hair, who was huddled in the corner of the cage, heard the iron gate open but did not show any fear or resistance.

She slowly crawled out of the cage like a puppet whose soul had been drained, knelt down in front of Jiang Luo's little feet, and buried her head deep in the dirty carpet.

"Master, please give your orders."

The girl uttered those five words without any emotional fluctuation.

The flat, mechanical voice made even the seasoned Jiang Luo feel uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but poke the still-wet bloodstains on the girl's arm with his delicate white hand.

"Hey, aren't you that idiot classmate Lin Meng? Do you still know Luo Luo? Luo Luo borrowed your eraser in the classroom at Shanhe No.1 Middle School."

The girl didn't flinch when she was poked; she simply remained kneeling on the ground and repeated the same sentence word for word without even blinking.

[Host, don't waste your energy. This human girl was completely brainwashed by a special force before she was put on the auction stage. All her memories and emotional centers related to the real world were forcibly removed from her brain. Now she is just a physical puppet who retains only basic physiological functions and fighting instincts.]

The system's mechanical notification, which sounded somewhat gloating, rang out in Jiang Luo's mind just in time, completely extinguishing her original plan to extract information about the real world from the girl.

It seems the plan to extract information from this human girl has failed.

[However, this incident shows that the person behind the research on the Half-Ghost is no ordinary individual; the host should be cautious.]

Jiang Luo naturally understood this principle.

"What a lousy, broken toy! It cost Lolo a full five thousand crystals, and it couldn't even utter a fart. Those behind this mess better not be found in the canyon, or Lolo will definitely drag them all into a vat of boiling oil!"

Jiang Luo cursed the mastermind behind it all eight hundred times in his heart.

On the surface, he could only angrily kick the carpet, then turn around and push the kneeling puppet girl in front of the shadowy figure standing quietly in the shadows.

"Shadow, this silly girl is your responsibility from now on. Since she's a half-human, half-ghost monster like you, you're in charge of teaching her how to stand guard at the door while Lolo sleeps. If she can't even do something as simple as serving tea and water properly, Lolo will throw both of you to feed Little White!"

Little White in the Shadows: (*≧∪≦) Yay!

The shadow's lifeless face lit up when he heard Jiang Luo hand the person over to him to deal with.

Finally, it showed some human-like expression, and carefully examined the injured girl on the ground with its dark eyes.

He then nodded silently, reached out a hand, grabbed the girl's collar, and dragged her to stand in the dark corner behind the sofa.

The revolving lantern display on the first floor of the auction house continued.

The skeleton auctioneer was energetically hawking junk unearthed from various ancient ruins on the stage.

What? A-grade cursed dagger that can only be used three times.

There are also those low-level, bizarre potions that cause stomach aches for three days and three nights after consumption.

All of this caused the inexperienced A-rank and S-rank minor lords in the hall to fight tooth and nail over it.

"Big sister, is this lousy merchant guild about to go bankrupt? Why are they bringing out all this trash that nobody would even pick up if they threw it on the roadside? I'm getting sleepy sitting here."

Jiang Luo curled up on the sofa and yawned deeply, looking at Han Ya, who was standing next to him serving tea and water, with an extremely disdainful gaze. Han Ya's picky, adult-like demeanor was indeed very much like those little tyrants who had run away from the Abyss Head Office or big families to experience life.

Holding the freshly replaced strawberry cake, Han Ya could only force a smile when she heard Jiang Luo's outrageous complaints.

In order to save her dying father and the Bone Manor, she can only place all her hopes on this white-haired little girl who will kill anyone she doesn't like.

"Lord Jiang Luo, please wait a little longer. What we just experienced was merely an appetizer to warm up the ordinary guests in the hall. The real show is about to begin."

The crow lowered its voice and leaned close to Jiang Luo's ear, its bloodshot eyes gleaming with a mysterious light that bordered on fanaticism.

She recounted in detail the top-secret information she had overheard from her father.

"I heard from the management staff within the Chamber of Commerce that today's final auction item is an S-level peak rule item that even the top giants in the entire Burial Canyon are coveting."

"This thing is different from ordinary inanimate objects that can only be used to attack or defend. The main body of this item is a bronze chain cage forged from pure death energy, and inside that cage, there is a genuine S-class Abyss Beast that was captured from the deepest part of Burial Canyon!"

Upon hearing this, Nyarlathotep, who had been standing by the window pretending to be deep in thought, stopped turning his bone cane.

For the first time, a serious expression appeared in the eyes hidden beneath the shadow of the black top hat.

Even Jiang Luo, who had been slumped on the sofa like a paralyzed person, straightened up as if she had springs in. Her ruby ​​eyes, which had been half-closed out of boredom, suddenly widened into the size of copper bells, and she bit the lollipop in her mouth into powder with her sharp teeth.

In the bizarre world, even the most powerful ordinary S-class monsters are nothing more than laborers limited by the world's underlying rules.

Those monsters tainted by the word "Abyss," even the weakest of the original forms, represent a source of destruction capable of shattering all existing rules and devouring all their kind as food.

"An artifact that suppresses the eerie depths of the abyss?"

Jiang Luo placed her small hand on the crystal coffee table in front of her, feeling the abyss energy within her body, which had reached the peak of SS level, throbbing wildly. Even the gluttonous Jiang Xiaobai, hidden deep in her shadow, was making noises of swallowing saliva one after another.

"This is going to be really interesting! Lolo just felt like the backyard was missing a big guard pet, and this is the grand prize. Anyone who dares to try and take it from Lolo today, Lolo will twist their head off and use it as a toilet!"
