Chapter 37
For Youyou, there isn't really anything particularly noteworthy.
If one were to insist.
It would be that among the Red Demon Clan, she is the only oddity.
However, this oddity does not mean she is abnormal.
On the contrary, Youyou is the most normal one among all the Red Demon Clan members.
But no matter what world it is, standing out from those around you by being different is seen as "special" in the eyes of the public.
Thus.
The normal Youyou, in a village full of middle-school syndrome, is the most "peculiar" one.
"What a world of pure beauty."
Bai Ye fell into deep thought.
This world seems to have nothing particularly special about it.
The masochistic Darkness, the explosive magic user Megumin, and the goddess Aqua, who excels only at eating.
Since it is primarily a comedy series, there isn't much of a dark and deep story.
"As expected, to become stronger, I still need to rely on the check-in tasks."
Bai Ye's current goal is to collect the last Divine Flame Emperor.
Thinking of this.
He opened the check-in system to see if any new tasks had refreshed.
And sure enough, there were new check-in tasks available.
[Check-in Task: Winner of the Flame Light Banquet, reward: two random card packs.]
[Check-in Task: The Mad Puppeteer, defeat the opponent, reward: one random card pack.]
"Only two tasks refreshed."
Bai Ye pouted.
As far as he knew.
The storyline on Xian Shen Island is not just this little bit.
Besides the artificial girl, there are also Yase Natsune, the Philosopher's Stone, and the priestess Lan Yu Qian Cong of Cain.
However, those tasks have not yet refreshed, and even if Bai Ye intervened in advance, he wouldn't be able to receive any rewards.
Thinking of this.
Bai Ye felt it was time to wrap up his biology knowledge progress.
After a quick resolution.
Yamato Muya felt as exhausted as if she had just run a marathon in the sweltering heat.
Bai Ye patted her back and then carried her into the bathroom.
After everything was done.
He coincidentally received a mention in the chat group.
[Revenge Sword Demon: "@Phantom Demon Emperor, um, I suddenly remembered something. Is Mr. Bai Ye's promise from last time still valid?"]
Upon seeing this, Bai Ye initially didn't catch on.
But he quickly realized.
Last time he seemed to have promised to help.
[Phantom Demon Emperor: "We're all family, what promises are there? So do you need help?"]
[Revenge Sword Demon: "Hmm, I've found it increasingly hard to endure lately."]
At this point.
Tendou Muka couldn't help but grit her teeth.
The enemy who had previously harmed her parents was not only still at large but was living more freely than anyone else.
In the news.
Her enemy had now become a pillar in the eyes of the public, a prominent figure in various departments in Tokyo.
Besides that.
What made Tendou Muka feel equally desperate about this world were the cursed children who suffered unfair treatment.
Clearly just children, yet they had to endure oppression and abuse from adults.
Every time she wanted to extend a helping hand.
But now she was struggling to make ends meet herself, let alone rescue those poor children.
The "Save the World" task in her task list felt somewhat ironic.
She had thought about whether she could rely on her own strength.
After all, according to her friends in the group.
As long as she kept checking in, she would eventually become very powerful.
It would just be a bit slower, less efficient, and there was a high chance her enemies would discover her and hire someone to kill her.
After thinking it over.
Tendou Muka felt that it was still better to cling to someone powerful.
So, on a whim, she mustered the courage to seek help actively.
Even if they didn't help, it would only mean losing a hope.
Thus.
The girl received the answer she hoped for.
The Phantom Demon Emperor was much easier to talk to than she had imagined.
"Great! With Mr. Bai Ye's help, the matter with my enemies and those cursed children will definitely be resolved!"
Tendou Muka joyfully jumped up from her chair.
[Railgun: "Riddler, get out of Gotham!"]
[Internet Addict Cat: "We still don't know what Miss Tendou couldn't endure that day."]
[Revenge Sword Demon: "Sorry, I was just too excited earlier."]
Then.
She described the general situation of her world.
When she first joined the group, Tendou Muka had only briefly mentioned that her world was overrun by monsters.
But this time.
She revealed more unknown details.
Such as the past of her parents' murder.
And how human nature would deteriorate to what extent in the apocalyptic world after order collapses.
She also emphasized the initial and current plight of the cursed children.
About ten minutes later.
The chat group fell into an eerie silence.
And Bai Ye knew.
It must be that those who were hearing about the cursed children's plight for the first time were processing these heavy matters.
[Revenge Sword Demon: "Huh? Why is everyone so quiet?"]
[Phantom Demon Emperor: "It seems the plight of the cursed children has hit them too hard."]
[Revenge Sword Demon: "Oh? Really? Maybe it's because I've become numb."]
[Phantom Demon Emperor: "If you were truly numb, you wouldn't have asked me for help."]
Any normal person hearing about the plight of the cursed children would feel a tremendous shock.
After all.
The cursed children in that world have no human rights.
Insults and beatings are considered the lightest forms of abuse.
Rape, torture, and more atrocities that cannot be accurately described in words have all been inflicted upon the cursed children.
If it were true that the cursed children were the terrifying demons cursed as those who hate them believe.
Doing so might cause discomfort, but at most it would just be curiosity.
However.
The cursed children are merely female children infected with a virus.
They were born carrying the virus, and when they knew nothing about the world, they were treated cruelly by others.
Not knowing how much time had passed.
[Want to Make Friends: "Is what you said true? But... how is that possible?"]
[Master of the Kaleidoscope: "It's not that I don't want to believe, but this kind of thing is just too cruel. Would a normal society really harbor such malice towards those children?"]
