: The Earth Where Man and God Walk Together

Sienna peeked out from behind him.

"Is it mentally ill?"

Even the cat thought this demon was utterly unrespectable.

Upon hearing the sound, the assembler turned all three eyes to Sienna.

"Who?" asked the man with the left mouth.

"What the hell?" asked the person with the right mouth.

"A dragon?" said the man with the left mouth.

"A cat?" said the right mouth.

"Totoro?" both mouths said at the same time.

For once, they spoke in unison.

They continued arguing.

Qiao Ye had lost patience to listen any longer.

"Shut up!" he yelled.

The patchwork maker paused briefly, then continued to criticize the other party.

They showed absolutely no intention of listening to what Qiao Ye had to say.

Qiao Ye finally reached his breaking point.

He moved.

With a flash of light, the blade struck directly at the assembler.

The piecer's three eyes saw the flash of the blade, and both mouths screamed simultaneously.

Its body was completely defenseless and was cut diagonally in half.

Then--

Two pieces of the body fell to the ground, but the two mouths still hadn't stopped talking.

Left mouth: "He thinks he can kill us."

Right mouth: "It's useless."

Left Mouth: "Our bodies are pieced together; they weren't originally ours."

Right mouth: "So what if it's cut off? We can just put it back together later."

Sienna couldn't listen anymore and covered her ears with her paws, feeling her head buzzing.

Qiao Ye sighed.

This is probably what it means to be on the verge of death without even realizing it.

He moved his wrist.

A flintlock pistol appeared in his hand.

【Soul-Strike Flintlock Pistol】.

It can directly attack the soul.

Since you think harming the body is useless, then come and experience the necromancer's masterpiece.

He picked up the gun and aimed.

Then I fired immediately.

boom--

Gunshots.

The bullet grazed the patchwork man's right leg.

"ah--!!!"

This time, both mouths simultaneously erupted in unimaginable screams.

Almost instantly, the body that Qiao Ye had cut apart was pieced back together.

Then, with a thud.

The patchwork maker knelt down in front of Qiao Ye, his mouth tightly shut, not uttering a single word.

But those three eyes were clearly filled with tears.

Tsk—

Qiao Ye was secretly displeased.

He originally intended to headshot him, but his marksmanship was really not that good.

They aimed for the head, but missed the leg entirely.

This guy was spared from death.

Oh well, let's just go with the flow.

"Can we be quiet now?" Qiao Ye asked.

Left mouth: "Of course!"

Right Mouth: "If you have such methods, why didn't you use them sooner?"

Left mouth: "Let's all reconcile!"

Right mouth: "We promise to tell you everything we know!"

"Shut up!"

Qiao Ye held up one finger. "Right now, I just want to hear a mouth speak!"

The patchwork maker's three eyes rolled around a few times, then it reached up and wiped its face.

They reverted to their human form.

Now, there really is only one mouth.

The patchwork makers finally fell silent.

He knelt there obediently, his hands on his knees, like a primary school student.

If it weren't for the blood still flowing on the ground, Qiao Ye would almost have thought that the battle just now was an illusion.

"Speak."

Qiao Ye did not sheathe his knife; the blade was still pointed at the assembler's throat.

What are you doing here?

The cobbler swallowed hard.

"My name is Shoman Barnum..."

"Don't say that."

Qiao Ye brought the tip of his knife closer. "I'm asking you, what are you doing here!"

"I...I am a scavenging demon."

"That's what the cobbler Barnum said honestly."

"I sensed that a powerful demon that had been lurking in this area had suddenly vanished, so I thought I'd come and see if I could find anything..."

Qiao Ye remained silent and picked up the flintlock pistol again.

"I... I'm telling the truth! I'm absolutely not lying to you!"

Barnum raised three fingers and swore an oath to heaven.

"Can you sense the presence of other demons?" Qiao Ye asked.

"Demons can sense each other; otherwise, how would they divide up territories?"

Barnum looked at Qiao Ye strangely. "This should be common sense in this world. Even a lowly commoner like you should know this, shouldn't you?"

"How dare you call me a lowly commoner?"

Qiao Ye was so angry he laughed.

Want to eat bullets, huh?

"No, no, no! I absolutely didn't mean to insult you! 'Untouchable' is a fixed term!"

Barnum quickly waved his hand, "It refers to those humans who do not have a belief in the devil, corresponding to the voters."

"They are not accepted, nor can they receive blessings; they are the lowest of beings in this world."

"Of course, some humans are protesting now, saying that the term 'untouchables' is too discriminatory and that 'abandoned people' might be a better term."

Qiao Ye: ? ? ?

He couldn't help but exchange a glance with Sienna.

They both saw the shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

"Wait! What did you just say?"

Qiao Ye interrupted Barnum, "You said there are humans protesting?"

According to this logic, there are still quite a few people living in the United States today.

Could they even organize protests against discrimination?

This is truly a uniquely American characteristic.

However, Barnum misunderstood.

He didn't know that Qiao Ye was shocked by the matter itself, and thought that the other party simply disagreed with this behavior.

"You also think these humans are going too far, right?"

Barnum said indignantly, "Those demon kings have been so good to these humans for the past thirty years since they came to this place!"

"They even preserved one-tenth of the human population, allowing them to believe in themselves and survive on the reservation."

"And they were still not satisfied, they even dared to launch a protest!"

"If you ask me, we should have killed them all..."

puff-

Qiao Ye plunged a knife directly into Barnum's throat.

This strike certainly wouldn't kill the demon.

But it also caused the other party great pain, their eyes fixed on Qiao Ye.

He didn't understand why he would be hurt when he had performed so well.

Qiao Ye felt Sienna trembling all over her body on his shoulder.

She was crying.

One-tenth of humanity remains...

In other words, after the dense fog descended, 90% of the people in this country had already died.

Sienna loves her country.

Even though I was mentally prepared, I still broke down emotionally when I actually heard the news.

Qiao Ye remained silent, unsure how to comfort him.

Perhaps, at this moment, she should have a good cry.

Moreover, from what they just said, Qiao Ye also caught a key word.

"Thirty years?"

He asked, "Has the devil been here for thirty years?"

"yes!"

Barnum nodded, glancing at Qiao Ye a few times.

He looks only seventeen or eighteen years old, so it's normal that he doesn't know his history before he was born.

fine!

I'll teach him!

Barnum then leaned back and pulled the blade from his neck.

Then he cleared his throat and began to tell Qiao Ye the history of the demon's descent.

As he listened, Qiao Ye's expression changed.

because--

Everything Barnum said completely overturned Qiao Ye's understanding!

According to him, the fog had been in place for thirty years, not the ten years that the outside world had been saying.

The timelines inside and outside the dense fog don't match at all!

"Every demon shares the same dream."

Barnum said, "On this land where man and God once walked together, we will establish our own kingdom."

"Over the past thirty years, several demon kings have realized this dream."
