The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

"No, how can you just give up like this? Although I don't know what 'grudges' you had with the Queen of Calamity as her daughter, in the few days I wasn't captured, she seemed to care about you a lot... Even though she already knew you had joined the cult and become an officer, she still 'overruled objections' to protect you..."

But before Chloe could finish speaking, Heather interrupted her with a very dismissive tone:

"Stop, stop, stop! So you've already been arrested, why are you speaking up for that old man? And even advising me to follow his orders... Did that old man give you some kind of benefit?"

Heather got right to the point, and what she said was indeed the truth... Chloe realized that she had been a bit too hasty in saying those words and should have laid some groundwork instead of just blurting them out all at once... She almost forgot that Heather was also a smart person and could easily notice the oddities in the details.

However, even if Heathera does have some doubts about what Chloe said before, it's not a big problem... Unless she really only wants to die, Heathera should seriously consider her next proposal.

After Heather finished speaking, Chloe smiled and continued:

"My identity has been exposed and I've been arrested. What benefits do you think the [King of Calamity] can offer me? Calm down and let me explain... First of all, do you think there's any chance you can escape from this dungeon?"

After listening to Chloe's words, Heather calmed down and then answered Chloe's question in a composed manner:

"No, as I said before, there's simply no way to escape. Even if I burn my abyssal energy, I can't break through this dungeon's defensive barrier."

Seeing that Heather had found her rhythm, Chloe continued:

"That's right! So if we don't get out of here, there's no way to escape, and you admit that... So you really want to be locked up in this dungeon forever?"

"Hmph, of course I don't want to be locked up here to die, but as I said before, I'd rather die here than be released and have my freedom restricted by that old guy!"

Although Heather continued to refute her, all of this was within Chloe's expectations, so Chloe calmly said:

"But if we can get out, wouldn't that give us a chance to escape?"

"You think you can escape just by going out? You're dreaming! You don't actually think you can escape by being restricted by that old guy, do you? Looks like you're a newbie and don't know that old guy very well."

Heather's words made Chloe understand why she was so uncooperative... Did she really think she had no way to escape from Munia, which was why she was being so stubborn? Oh well... she had misunderstood Heather before.

On the other hand, the reason why Heather could still calmly communicate with Chloe after suspecting that Chloe had accepted bribes from Mukia was precisely because of this... Even if Chloe, who had been imprisoned in the dungeon, could accept bribes from Mukia, the best she could hope for would be the same treatment she described... that is, although she would be spared, she would be monitored by Mukia and her freedom would be restricted.

Judging from Chloe's expression, she clearly has no idea just how terrifying Miucia's "restriction of freedom" really is.

However, since Heather has calmly followed Chloe's lead to this point, Chloe's mission is now over...

"You think I know nothing? I'm telling you this because I have a way to escape from the [King of Calamity]!"

"!"

……

Finally, Chloe's mission was accomplished. After getting into Chloe's rhythm, Heather finally believed Chloe's lies and, as a last resort, cooperated with Museia's "interrogation".

As for what methods Chloe used to convince Heather to believe her lies, since it was all Chloe's fabrication, I won't go into details.

In short, Chloe said there was someone waiting for her inside the Demon King's castle, and that she knew someone who could lift the "restriction" on Museia... Of course, to avoid arousing suspicion from Heather, she still gave the choice to Heather.

After Heather agreed to Chloe's proposal, Chloe also knocked on the barrier at the dungeon door with her head, making two long and one short knocks, as if giving some kind of code.

Immediately afterward, under Heather's knowing gaze, Mukia entered the dungeon, had Chloe taken away, and then planned to talk to Heather.

Of course, Chloe wasn't completely giving up... it's just that Heather believed Chloe's lies and was convinced that Chloe had made a deal with Miukia. So, to save trouble, Chloe simply called Miukia in to proceed with her next step.

As for the "secret code" used to knock on the barrier? Chloe was just putting on a show for Heather, to let her know that her conversation with her hadn't been overheard by Museia...

In short, two days later, thanks to Mukia's "strong protection," Heather was spared her life and released from the dungeon.

But as mentioned before, Heather's freedom was restricted by Mukia, and to be on the safe side, Lulum added a "double insurance" to seal away all the magic power in her body, including the abyssal energy.

Honestly, given Heather's situation, she really wouldn't be able to escape without someone helping her.

As for the person who would meet her... there wasn't one.

Chloe was just putting on an act, and after making her take the blame, there was "no way to prove it," so how could she really ask the Abyss Order to come and pick her up?

And if it weren't for the fact that she and Tiffany were sisters, and that it was for Miucia's sake, Chloe would have really wanted to "eliminate the trouble forever".

Heather still couldn't figure out why Chloe, who had indeed absorbed the Abyss, wouldn't work for the Abyss Order, but instead helped the Demon King and the Four Heavenly Kings "trap" her.

And the Demon King and the Four Heavenly Kings trust her so much, believing she's just a spy within the Abyss Order...

Why is Chloe, who is clearly a master-level noob, like this?

……

The matter concerning Heather has come to an end. Although she was saved by Mukia, she lost her freedom and "voluntarily" became material for Lulum's research on how to "correct" the consciousness of those distorted by the Abyss... It can be said that Heather's ending is a cause for celebration.

Of course, how Lulum deals with Heather is none of Chloe's business anymore; Chloe's main concern is the harvest situation in the northern lands.

That's right. Recently, the experimental potatoes in the north have started to be harvested. If all goes well, Chloe will be able to tally the harvest results in a few days and then begin trying to promote the potatoes...

Of course, this is assuming no unexpected events occur... You should understand now, right?

That's right, just as Chloe was preparing to reap the rewards in a few days, an unexpected incident did happen to her... Tsk, can't I have a few days of peace and quiet?

Seeing this unexpected situation, Chloe couldn't help but complain to herself.

Chapter 378 Oh no, it feels like a heart attack...

Just as Chloe was about to finish her "farming guidance" mission in the north and began preparing with Lulum to promote potato consumption and cultivation throughout the entire Demon Realm, an unexpected situation arose.

However, this unexpected situation has nothing to do with the planting and harvesting on the farmland... After all, Chloe already had a list of Abyss Order members, and those ordinary members who disobeyed her orders and wanted to cause trouble had definitely been dealt with by Ilya and the others long ago, so there was no possibility of any accidents happening here.

Moreover, even if some Abyss Order cadres come over to cause trouble in the next few days, Chloe and her group, with their "stationed" force here, are not to be underestimated.

So the so-called accident was actually just Chloe having yet another accident... That's why Chloe complained like that before.

Of course, the fact that Chloe can still complain like this only means that this so-called accident is still within Chloe's acceptable range.

However, it's not to say that this accident wasn't serious for Chloe... After all, considering the accidents Chloe had experienced before, she was either kidnapped by members of the Abyss Order or had her soul directly extracted. So, in comparison, this accident, which didn't cause her any "physical or mental harm," was still within Chloe's acceptable range.

As for what this so-called accident was, simply put, the Abyss Order suddenly gave her a "job".

Moreover, this was a task assigned to her by her superiors… she couldn't refuse unless she openly "switched sides"… oh, no, it should be said that she "switched sides," abandoning her position as a cadre in the Abyss Cult… well, after all, the Abyss Cult is the villain…

But Chloe was a little reluctant to give up this convenient identity... After all, she had handled the previous events so easily because of her identity as a cadre of the Abyss Order, and she had also carried out so many operations to avoid exposing her "true faction"... If she were to be exposed for this reason, wouldn't all her previous operations have become "unnecessary"?

Don’t do that kind of thing!

That's right, if she doesn't accept this task, the consequences will be that serious.

So, in order to ensure that her "efforts" would not be in vain, Chloe decided to first deal with the task assigned to her by the leader of the Abyss Order.

The finishing touches on the first batch of plantings in the north were left to Ilya and her group.

As long as the Abyss Order doesn't cause trouble in this final stage, nothing unexpected will happen.

As for promoting its consumption and cultivation... let Lulum handle that for now.

On another note, what task did the leader of the Abyss Order assign to Chloe that caused her plans to go awry?

To put it simply, the leader of the Abyss Order ordered Chloe, who was waiting in the Demon King's Castle, to find and eliminate the Order's "traitor"... That's right, there really was a "traitor" within the Abyss Order.

However, this so-called "traitor" is different from the so-called "betrayal of the Abyss." It's just that the leader of the Abyss Order recently discovered that some members of the Abyss Order on the demon side want to disobey the leader's orders and establish a more "chaotic" force than the current Abyss Order.

The reason is that these "traitors" do not want to follow the cult's orders and want to carry out more radical "abyss propagation" activities.

This kind of behavior is unacceptable to the Abyss Cult. The Abyss Cult has been able to "spread its influence" and even gradually grow stronger among the demons, all thanks to its "stealthy development"... And those who want to spread the Abyss too aggressively could even ruin the plans that the Abyss Cult has been planning for so many years...

It could even affect the Abyss Order's influence among humans, so the leader of the Abyss Order decided that this emerging force must be eradicated immediately.

Then another question arises: why would the leader of the Abyss Order entrust such an important task to Chloe?

That's because during the month or so that Chloe had been a member of the Abyss Order, she had actually spoken with the Abyss Order's "contact person" in the Demon King's Castle... Of course, Chloe's initiative to talk to the "contact person" was only to try to extract some information and to have Lulum "mark" and keep an eye on this Abyss Order guy's movements.

However, when Chloe was talking to this "contact," in order to prevent the "contact," or rather the people of the Abyss Order, from coming to her casually, she also told the "contact" that she had already infiltrated the Demon King Academy... After all, she was so young and already had master-level strength, so becoming a teacher at the Demon King Academy would be a piece of cake...

That's right. It's possible that Chloe's words to the "contact person" were overheard by the leader of the Abyss Order, who then assumed that Chloe was a teacher at the Demon King Academy. That's why the leader of the Order assigned this task to Chloe.

Of course, if the leader of the Abyss Order simply assigned Chloe the task of investigating and finding a "traitor" within the Abyss Order, then it cannot be called an "accident."

After all, investigating and identifying the "traitor" always takes some time.

Her investigation could drag on for ten days, half a month, or even several months, which wouldn't be a big problem... She could even use the authority of the Four Heavenly Kings or have Ruru ask someone else to help her with the investigation...

To Chloe's surprise, the leader of the Abyss Order, perhaps because of Chloe's low level or for some other reason, instructed her to give the task to Chloe's 'agent' to 'assist' her in her work.

In other words, while Chloe was fulfilling her duties as the leader of the Abyss Order, she also had to be monitored by an "agent".

This is the most significant unexpected event.

Furthermore, since this "agent" came to the Demon King's Castle to find Chloe suddenly, if she hadn't gone directly to the Demon King's Academy to find Chloe, but instead had a "contact person" contact her, Chloe, who was in the north and not in the Demon King's Castle at the time, might have revealed something to this "agent".

Furthermore, this "agent" arrived suddenly and stated that he wanted to "monitor" Chloe's mission. Otherwise, if the mission had been carried out within the Demon King's castle, Chloe might not have been able to tell Lulum about the situation while being constantly monitored by the "agent."

However, inside the Demon King's castle, Lulum can still communicate with her telepathically at any time... So after learning about Chloe's situation, Lulum agreed to her actions.

After all, Chloe's actions are within the Demon King's castle, so even if she is exposed, Lulum can personally guarantee her safety... This is much more reliable than having someone else protect Chloe.

Moreover, both Lulum and Chloe were actually dealing with those Abyss Order "traitors" who wanted to cause big trouble... Just from the description, those so-called "traitors" sounded like a bunch of "terrorists" who wanted to cause big trouble. In these crucial months, neither Lulum nor Chloe wanted anything unexpected to happen in the Demon Realm.

……

In short, only a few hours have passed since this "accident" occurred, and Chloe is now under the surveillance of her "agent" and has begun investigating clues about the "traitor" of the Abyss Order within the Demon King Academy.

Furthermore, in order to "cooperate" with Chloe's work, that "agent" somehow managed to infiltrate the Demon King Academy.

This prompted Chloe to quickly ask Lulum to forge the teacher's identity documents... Chloe couldn't very well tell that the "agent" she was a student, could she?

Since students are admitted within a set timeframe, unless her family has a very strong influence in the Demon Realm and can pull strings, it would be impossible for her to enroll "in the near future".

In other words, if Chloe were to say that she is a student... whether it's because of why she joined the Abyss Order some time ago or because of her recent enrollment, the "Agent" would be suspicious.

Even Chloe suspected that the leader of the Abyss Order might have doubts about her because he sent an "agent" to assist her in her mission.

After all, she had only been a member of the Abyss Order and "waiting" in the Demon King's Castle for a short time when a "traitor" appeared in the Abyss Order, and the clues pointed directly to the Demon King's Academy in the Demon King's Castle where Chloe was located. Even Chloe thought it was too coincidental.

If Chloe were to let the "agent" notice anything amiss, she might truly be labeled a "traitor" by the "agent"...

Therefore, Chloe must also be more "careful".

Fortunately, Lulum could communicate with her directly through "telepathy," so she arranged everything for Chloe in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, Chloe might have been caught off guard by this "agent."

……

Chloe is currently investigating the academy with that "agent." Since it's afternoon "practical class" time, Chloe is trying to avoid crowds as much as possible while conducting the investigation with that "agent."

Chloe did this to avoid arousing any suspicion from the "agent" about her identity as a teacher, so she deliberately avoided crowds... and even had Lulu arrange for several "extras" to call her "teacher" to dispel the "agent's" concerns.

As for Chloe avoiding crowds... well, since the "agent" is essentially a "suspicious person" who infiltrated the academy, she didn't pay much attention to it, and might even think Chloe was "meticulous".

Chloe was searching for clues with the "agent," while Lulum had Black Lulu temporarily put aside her work to investigate the "agent."

Let alone the fact that this "agent" is a core member of the Abyss Order, even the fact that she was able to infiltrate the Demon King Academy has already alerted Lulum.

Her ability to bypass the Demon King Academy's "identity verification" barrier and infiltrate the academy is anything but simple.

Under Lulu's orders, Helm also conducted a detailed investigation into the identity of the "agent," only to discover that the agent's identity was somewhat special...

That's right, the barrier of the Demon King Academy is infallible. Anyone who can infiltrate the Demon King Academy must have been registered in the ending of the Demon King Academy story.

In other words, this "agent" was actually a member of the Demon King Academy before... However, when Hirum checked the Demon World's "registration," she found that this person had already been registered as "dead"... And before her "death," she actually had the status of "vice principal" in the Demon King Academy.

As for the cause of her "death," it is said that she sacrificed herself to protect students from rampaging monsters during an exam at a certain academy... In memory of her, the academy's barrier did not cancel her "identity verification."

But looking at the current situation... not only is the person alive and well, but he has even become a core member of the Abyss Order... which means that this person may have been arranged by the Abyss Order from the very beginning.

And who knows how many more people with the ability to infiltrate the Demon King Academy the Abyss Order has arranged... I never expected the Abyss Order to pull off something like this. Looks like they need to clean up their "unused" permissions...

After learning about the results of Blacklum's investigation, Lulum thought the same thing to herself.

So Lulum also put checking and cleaning up "suspicious permissions" records into her work schedule... well, she meant today's work schedule.

After putting aside all other work, Lulu began investigating suspicious permissions.

However, while checking suspicious permissions, Lulum discovered a special "entry and exit record"... that is, the entry and exit record of the Demon King Stella.

And this entry and exit record is from today...

……

"What's Stella doing here?"

While investigating the "traitor's" whereabouts with the "agent," Chloe suddenly notices Stella walking straight towards her.

When Chloe saw Stella walking towards her, clearly looking for her, she also experienced a "cardiac arrest".

She had clearly told Stella not to do this when she came back from the north to prevent any "gaffe"... Wait, in the end, it seems like Stella wasn't even brought back from the north by her... She should be cooperating with Ilya and the others' work right now.

Why is Stella here?

Could it be... this is...?

When Chloe realized that the person approaching her wasn't Stella, the one who looked exactly like Stella spoke up:
