The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

The problem is that when Miao Qiya talks to her, she doesn't just remain silent and "uncooperative." Instead, she keeps changing the subject and mocking Miao Qiya.

Especially mocking her about her age... and every time she does, she manages to make Miao Qiya break down.

If one were not familiar with Miukia, or rather, were not Miukia's daughter Heather, it would be impossible to do this... which is why this is a dilemma for Miukia.

……

The above is what Miu Miu explained to Chloe when she asked Chloe for help.

To be honest, when Chloe listened, she also felt that Miukia was thinking too much and too complicatedly, to the point that she seemed a little confused.

However, after a little analysis, Chloe understood why Miukia had told her so much... Miukia was actually struggling with whether or not to get rid of her daughter... In other words, Miukia had long been convinced that "Tikina" was her daughter, Heather.

After all, as one of the Four Heavenly Kings in the Demon Realm for so many years and having been in contact with the Abyss Order for so long, it wouldn't be necessary for Myuqia to be so sure about this matter.

To put it dramatically, Miao Qiya was intuitively certain that this "Tikina" was indeed her Heather.

It was precisely because she was struggling with how to "deal with" Tichina that she made the process of confirming Tichina's identity so complicated.

Chloe also knew that the way Miukia most wanted to "get rid of" Tichina was to seal her abilities and keep her alive, rather than trying to eliminate Tichina... She asked Chloe for help because she wanted Chloe to persuade Tichina to "change her mind".

Otherwise, to be honest, judging from the current state of Tichina or Heather, who has been corrupted by the abyss to the point of being "incurable" and "terminally ill," regardless of whether she is actually Miukia's daughter or not, she should be eliminated to prevent future troubles.

Anyway, since she's an "incurable" Abyss Infected and we can't get any information out of her, what's the point of keeping her around?

The problem is that Muqia wants to keep her here... If Heather hadn't consistently refused to cooperate with Muqia, Heather would have been able to leave this dungeon long ago as an "ordinary person under surveillance."

It has to be admitted that those infected with Abyssal Energy are not quite right in the head. Judging from Mukia's attitude, if Heather had just said a few nice words and agreed to obediently follow Mukia's arrangements, even if it was just "feigning compliance," she would at least have had a chance to escape...

However, it's also possible that she knows she can't escape no matter what, so she's just giving up... But in any case, Chloe still wants to try to get some information out of Heather and persuade her.

Since they're "family" now, even Lulu couldn't refuse Miukia's request... let alone the fact that Miukia was asking for more money...

Yes, that's the key point.

Of course, as for how Chloe helped, it was all arranged by Miukia... If it weren't for Miukia's arrangement, Chloe probably wouldn't have used this "old method" to play Heather.

Chloe felt that, after all, she had just teamed up with Mukia to trick Heather into the dungeon, and Heather was a smart woman; the fact that she had teamed up with Mukia only to be captured by Mukia in return... meant that Heather might not fall for it.

However, during the days that Muqia "interrogated" Heather, although Heather refused to cooperate, she still had a question about one thing.

That is why Miao Qiya didn't capture Chloe and Stella... I even asked Miao Qiya directly more than once.

In other words, she genuinely believed that it was impossible for Myukia, as one of the Four Heavenly Kings, to act with the Abyss Order... and she had never doubted Chloe and Stella's identities as members of the Abyss Order.

It was precisely because Miucia was certain of this that she arranged Chloe's situation in this way...

As for Hisera's question... Myukia, who was keeping a watchful eye on things, did not answer Hisera's question directly, but only said that "Nina" was one of their people and could not possibly be a member of the Abyss Order.

However, Heather stated that "Nina" might have been under Mürkia's control a little over a month ago, but she is now a member of the Abyss Order. Chloe's betrayal of her was not because she was under Mürkia's control, but because she made her take the blame.

Yes, Heather spoke to Miukia in a sarcastic tone, and her purpose was actually quite easy to guess... she wanted to drag "Nina," who had tricked her, down with her.

As for the reason why "Nina" cooperated with Miuqia and betrayed her, she also imagined a reasonable reason... that Chloe's "secret mission" in the north failed, and she wanted to make her "take the blame", so she approached her former "employer" Miuqia to cooperate.

It was precisely because Miucia knew that Heather imagined things this way that she came up with the idea of ​​having Chloe act it out.

Incidentally, when Miao Qiya proposed this plan, Chloe also questioned its feasibility, but after listening to Miao Qiya's explanation, Chloe said she was "deeply impressed".

Even in her current state, Heather managed to somehow "make up" her identity... She herself hadn't expected such a way of "making up" it... Chloe should even thank Heather for her "cleverness".

Chloe agreed and began to follow Mukia's lead, attempting to persuade Heather using "unorthodox" methods.

Well, Chloe only did the work because she was paid...

……

"...So you finally exposed your identity and got captured by this old bastard? I heard you've been having a good time in the Demon Realm these past few days?"

When Heather saw Chloe, who was being restrained by Munia, she spoke to Chloe in a mocking tone.

Upon hearing Heather's words, Chloe lowered her head and remained silent... her face showing an expression of deep regret.

It was as if he regretted collaborating with Miao Qiya.

However, what Chloe was thinking at that moment was:

"It seems she's already resigned herself to her suspicions... She started 'mocking' me before I even started acting..."

Chloe didn't care about Heather's taunts at all. In fact, if Chloe hadn't been so patient and already in "professional" acting mode, she probably would have laughed out loud because of Heather's taunts.

"It seems that even the high-ranking officers of the Abyss Order didn't expect that absorbing the Abyss could prevent one from being infected by it, and even allow one to disguise the aura of the Abyss... So, apart from Demon Lord Stella, no one in the Abyss Order could have imagined that she wasn't infected by the Abyss?"

Then Chloe realized with certainty... As for why she was thinking about these things at this time? It was to distract herself so that she wouldn't actually laugh out loud.

After Heather's taunts, Chloe was also locked in the same cell as her. At this moment, Miukia spoke up, saying to Heather with a cheerful expression:

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you for your 'persistent' reminders, which allowed me to catch her 'colluding' with the Abyss Cult today... You've helped me so much, why won't you admit that you're my daughter?"

Upon hearing Muqia's words, Heather continued in a tone that was both disdainful and sarcastic:

"Who wants to be your daughter, old man? And get away from me! Get out of this cell! I already said I don't want to smell that old man stench on you...it's disgusting! I'm just annoyed that she made me take the blame, it's just a personal grudge!"

After hearing Heather's words, the joyful expression on Miucia's face froze... The veins on her forehead bulged, as if she really wanted to beat Heather up, but in the end she didn't.

After all, she initially said she would use "love" to influence Heather. If she actually took action, Heather would probably mock her even more.

Besides, hitting Heather wouldn't really do any good; she can't exactly kill Heather, can she?

So, as usual, Miao Qiya held back in the end... Then, with a "humph," she left the dungeon.

In short, the rest is up to Chloe...

After seeing Muqia leave, Heather also showed a disdainful expression... like a victor.

Then her expression unconsciously froze for a moment... To be honest, being locked in this dark and gloomy cell was quite boring. Her only "entertainment" each day was when Miao Qiya came to talk to her. The rest of the time, she just spent her days emptying her mind.

If she hadn't been able to stop thinking... oh, I should say clear her mind, she probably wouldn't have been able to stand being locked up for even a few days.

That's why she made this subconscious move after Miao Qiya left.

However, she did not completely clear her mind; her expression only remained blank for a moment.

Now that she has "fellow inmates," why should she give up thinking when she has someone to talk to?

“Hey Nina… being locked up in a place like this must be really boring. How about we have a proper chat? Let’s talk about why you sold me in the first place?”

"..."

Although Heather wanted to talk to her, which suited Chloe's wishes, Chloe had been paid... But a professional actress like Chloe wouldn't expose herself like that.

She still needs to extract information from Heather to get her to admit that she is Heather, and she needs to use "evil" methods to persuade her to cooperate. She can't rush things...

So Chloe continued to act "isolated" and refused to talk to Heather.

To Chloe's surprise, after she refused Heather's offer of conversation, Heather didn't continue to mock her or ask her questions as she expected. Instead, she spoke to Chloe in a mysterious tone:

"You initially just wanted to infiltrate the Order, right? How are you feeling now? Have you become obsessed with the greatness of the Abyss?"

"?"

What? Are you trying to "preach" to me?

The greatness of the Abyss… Obsession… Obsession? Is that what makes her so certain that I couldn't possibly have joined the Abyss Order without genuine intention?

Chloe thought to herself, but she still didn't react... She wanted to see what other interesting information Heather could come up with...

Just as Chloe had predicted, Heather continued to ask her some "serious" questions, trying to find out why Chloe had sold her... and whether she had initially joined the Order because of a "mission" or because she genuinely wanted to.

Chloe was a little disappointed... it seemed there wasn't any interesting information to be found.

After Heather had finished speaking, Chloe, seeing that the time was ripe, finally spoke up, saying to Heather in an angry tone:

"You're so annoying! Can you shut up?! If it weren't for you, I would have already finished my mission!"

"So why did you sell me?"

"It's all because I was originally one of the [Queen of Calamity's] people, and after joining the Abyss Order, I reported your situation to the [Queen of Calamity]! If it weren't for the fact that the [Queen of Calamity] for some reason thought you were her daughter and that I had to cooperate with her to capture you, things wouldn't have turned out this way... And if you hadn't told the [Queen of Calamity] that I was completely a member of the Order after being infected, my mission wouldn't have failed, and I wouldn't even have been captured!"

"Is it my fault? You should have told me sooner and not sold me out, wouldn't that have been better?"

"I already told you! I was being monitored!"

"Pfft pfft pfft... That's a real tragedy."

Chloe spoke angrily to Heather, who looked at the angry Chloe with an "innocent" expression and a hint of sarcasm in her tone... seemingly looking down on Chloe as a "traitor."

However… judging from her attitude, she didn’t suspect Chloe was lying… and Chloe, realizing that Heather had no doubts about her, began her attempt to extract information…

Chapter 377 Can't you just let me have a few days of peace and quiet?

Seeing that Heather still had no doubt about her being infected by the Abyss, Chloe also found it a bit strange, but based on the theory that people infected by the Abyss are not mentally sound, Chloe didn't pay much attention to it.

Anyway, her purpose wasn't to make Heather doubt her identity, but to get information out of her and try to persuade her to "turn over a new leaf".

So, Chloe, in her acting role, began her spiel in an extremely unwilling tone:

"Hmph, who else is to blame but you? I thought you were doomed this time, but I didn't expect you to survive and even drag me down with you... So what exactly is your identity? Are you really the daughter of the [King of Calamity]?"

Although it was just a polite question, Chloe was essentially asking Heather directly... In fact, Chloe was being so direct because she saw that Heather had no doubts about her identity.

However, this is essentially part of the cliché... after all, Chloe's elaborate setup with her demeanor and expressions wasn't for nothing.

Besides, Chloe didn't really expect her to get the information out of her through such a direct question...

However, after seeing Chloe's expression and hearing her question, Heather couldn't help but laugh, and while laughing, she said to Chloe:

"Hahaha, that's really funny. If my hands weren't tied, I would have really liked to clap my hands in delight... So you thought I would be killed by that old man? Well, you're really disappointed. That old man has no heart to kill me."

Hearing Heather's response, Chloe felt there was a chance... Heather hadn't refuted her, so if she just needed to probe for more information, she should be able to...

Just as Chloe was thinking this and about to continue speaking, Heather stopped her "mocking" of Chloe.

He then spoke to Chloe in a slightly resentful tone:

“That’s right, I was that old man’s daughter a long time ago, but that’s all in the past. I don’t admit to having any relationship with that old guy now… And weren’t you that old man’s subordinate before? Why don’t you recognize me?”

Chloe was stunned after hearing Tichina's words.

Before she could even try to get information out of her, Heather had already confessed. That was too... Great, it saved her a lot of trouble.

However, Chloe still couldn't understand why Heather would "recruit" so readily. Wasn't she afraid of being overheard?

Yes, Miucia is indeed listening to Chloe and Heather's conversation, so Chloe's mission is halfway complete.

Moreover, from Heather's words, Chloe understood why Heather had been uncooperative with Miukia's questions... Chloe could also tell why from Heather's resentful words.

That's right, Heather's inexplicable resentment wasn't directed at Chloe, but at Museia.

Although it's unclear why Heather harbors resentment towards Mulchia, it's none of Chloe's business... She just needs to focus on completing her mission.

Now that the mission is halfway complete, the next step is to try to persuade Heather to cooperate... Of course, before persuading Heather, Chloe should first answer Heather's questions.

As for Heather's question, Chloe answered as follows:

"I heard you died a long time ago, and I haven't been with the [King of Calamity] for long, so it's normal that I don't know you, right?"

Chloe's reply was simple and reasonable, which Heather accepted... but there was still one question that Heather found very unreasonable, so she continued to ask:

"But how did you describe my true appearance to the [King of Calamity]? You shouldn't have seen my true face from the very beginning..."

Chloe, eager to finish the mission quickly, didn't want to waste any more time talking to Heather, so she said the same thing to Heather:

"True face? What true face? Did you disguise your appearance before? Well, I'm sorry, you didn't think your disguise would work on me, did you? I've seen your current face the whole time, it's my innate ability... Let's not talk about that, I have something to ask you... Do you want to get out of this dungeon?"

Chloe had cleverly changed the subject while answering Heather's question; she didn't want to waste any more time talking to Heather. She wanted to finish the task as soon as possible so she could go back for dinner.

She took some time out after finishing work today to earn some extra money... oh, no, to help Miao Qiya. Since the task is already halfway done so quickly, she might as well finish it quickly.

If we can finish earlier, we might still be able to make it in time for dinner.

That's why Chloe deliberately shifted the topic to one that Heather would definitely be interested in... and Heather, upon hearing Chloe's words, indeed became interested and immediately said to Chloe:

"Get out? Of course we want to get out! Who would want to be locked up in this dungeon if they could get out? But do you really have a way to escape? Not to mention that these straitjackets we're wearing not only restrict our movement but also have a sealing effect. Plus, this dungeon is very sturdy and there's no magic in it at all... Anyway, I can't think of any way to escape."

Seeing that her words had indeed piqued Heather's interest, Chloe smiled mysteriously... From now on, her mission to persuade Heather using "unorthodox" methods had officially begun.

Immediately afterwards, Chloe spoke to Heather:

"Who told you you ran away? Actually, before I was captured, I heard that the [King of Calamity] didn't want you dead, but wanted to keep you by his side to 'monitor' you... In other words, as long as you cooperate with the [King of Calamity's] 'interrogation,' you'll be out soon..."

However, Heather, who had initially shown interest, immediately lost her enthusiasm upon hearing Chloe's words, and interrupted Chloe before she could finish:

"Tch, I thought you were going to say something. Of course I know that! That old thing doesn't want to kill me at all... but she wants me to cooperate with her 'interrogation' and be monitored by her? I can only say that's impossible! I'd rather stay in this dungeon... even if I die again, I don't want to be with that old thing."

When Heather said this, her tone was resolute and filled with resentment… Although Chloe was also curious about why Heather was so resentful, she knew that wasn't the point and ultimately didn't ask. Instead, she went along with Heather's words and continued to try to persuade her:
