"Now, tell me your answer..."

He took a few steps forward, looking down at Visakha who was huddled in the corner, reaching out his hand as if wanting to shake hands to show friendship, his face was smiling.

"Lord Visakha, may I ask if you want to join me?"

"..."

"..."

No choice but to make a decision now... The golden-haired Valkyrie painfully closed her eyes, then reopened them, speaking viciously, "I will only help you with this matter, and you must ensure their safety, absolutely not harm them... I only want this assurance, if you promise, I will join you!"

"Are you sure that's all you want?"

Gu Mo nodded, not retracting his outstretched palm, but rather looked at her thoughtfully, with an unusually subtle expression in his eyes—

"Don't need the clothes anymore?"

"...Need them!" Visakha gritted her teeth, suppressing the urge to pounce and bite a piece of flesh off him, she also raised her hand and grabbed his palm fiercely, exerting so much force as if she wanted to crush his bones.

She remembered today's incident, it was an unprecedented humiliation in her life, she secretly vowed in her heart that it would be best not to let her get a chance in the future, otherwise, she must take revenge, eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth! All the humiliation she suffered would also be repaid back on this guy!

...

...

Time swiftly passed.

As the saying goes, life is like that, if you can't resist, you have to accept it.

Just like how Visakha was concerned about her Divine Artifact getting hurt, most of her Divine Artifact was also loyally dedicated to her, not wanting her to get hurt. Therefore, in such a situation where both sides were holding back, naturally both were taken advantage of, both sides swallowed their pride, each choosing to yield for the one they cared for most.

"Speaking of this, it truly is a touching master-servant relationship..."

Gu Mo coughed lightly, looking as if he was moved.

Beside him, the Divine Artifacts led by Zhao Ma all revealed expressions of disgust, anger, and hostility, yet dared not to speak, glaring at him yet only able to swallow their pride. Even for the sake of their master, they absolutely couldn't act irrationally...

"Alright, stop looking at me like that, let's arrange today's tasks..."

Gu Mo wasn't too bothered by their murderous looks, and instead happily clapped his hands: "This area has been quite chaotic recently, there seemed to have been homicides here before, our task today is to clear out the monsters in this area... just like before, everyone work cooperatively and make an effort."

As he spoke, he pulled out his phone to take a look, then nodded: "Let's just have a ten-minute session this time, then we'll withdraw... understand?"

"..."

"..."

"...Understood." Wearing glasses, dressed in a neat suit, looking like a promising young man, Zhao Ma glanced at his colleagues, then weakly answered on behalf of everyone, his voice sounding low.

Since that day, another half week had passed, and after they woke up, they learned a shocking piece of news.

However, no matter what, life had to go on, even for the sake of their now-unreachable master, they couldn't solely vent based on their emotions, they could only miserably start working for this Demon... Fortunately, the other party didn't make them do anything against their integrity, instead, for unknown reasons—

Every day, he took them monster hunting...

Actively luring those monsters hiding in the corners to show up, then repeatedly clearing them...

Completely unable to understand what he was after, anyway, he demanded them to clock in for work every day from dawn till dusk...

If Divine Artifacts didn't get tired, or weren't capable of perpetual motion, they had no doubt this Demon would demand them to keep grinding endlessly.

—So ultimately, why?

Isn't this guy a Demon himself? Why does it seem like he hates Demons so much, killing so many each day is never enough?

"Don't keep that stern face, as you said, I have fulfilled the promise to your master quite well, absolutely not making you do anything against correctness..."

Gu Mo encouraged the team members he hired for his own convenience, to better exploit them: "So get your spirits up, clearing Demons is a virtuous act—a deed of merit, you can't say that's wrong... By the way, whoever gets the highest number of monsters today can meet your master today."

Necessary incentives are also needed, the positive competition can better improve efficiency.

"...Got it."

Zhao Ma tugged at the corners of his mouth, even though he didn't understand what he said, he still replied in a low voice.

Gods exist in the world dependent on the wishes or beliefs of humans, so their world easily interferes with the human world, and likewise turmoil among the gods and the heavenly realm disturbs the human heart. But gods themselves have no distinction between good and evil, all their actions must be based on correctness.

Otherwise, gods will degenerate into Demons causing disasters to humans, and Divine Artifacts with bad conduct, harboring evil thoughts, would harm their master, which is why.

They feared that this Demon wanted to force them into committing evil acts, thereby causing their master to fall, so they firmly held their ground... However, although things aren't so bad now, why do they feel increasingly wrong?

No matter what the other party's intentions, it seems they've been turned into emotionless grind machines!

Taking the small bottle of monster-luring liquid in hand, Zhao Ma sighed long, turned and headed towards the open sports field over there. This was an old school campus, presumably due to the summer vacation, today it was also silent and empty, making it an ideal monster farming spot.

The clouds in the sky cleared, and the clear moonlight spilled down.

Gu Mo looked at the group of exasperated Divine Artifacts dispersing, nonchalantly rubbing his hands. Although it's a practice that would make even capitalists cry, he finally achieved something he thought about on the very first day of entering the scenario—that is, find someone to grind on his behalf, while he leisurely absorbed experience with the team, leveling up smoothly.

"Tonight, I should reach level ten, wonder if there's any reward..."

Glancing at the sky, he felt extremely good, calculating the time carefully, it seemed almost a month had passed as well.

"It's about time to act..."

Although it's a bit regrettable, he could potentially grind two more levels in this scenario, without prematurely alerting the enemy... Yet there's a saying that warns not to procrastinate, considering that the guy is too adept at hiding, Gu Mo thought it best not to be too greedy, first grabbing the most valuable guaranteed reward.

......

"It's about time to act..."

Still in that dimly lit room, placing the last paper with an eyeball pattern down gently, the figure akin to a high school student sneered in the darkness.

"You've worked hard during this period... Confirm those people are all manipulated by the Hidden Ghost?"

"Yes." The young girl in the room nodded, she had been running back and forth during this time to confirm the situation of those Masked Demons sent by "Father", because the performance of the first Yellow Springs Language was unstable, there would always be some accidents, which needed her careful handling.

At least before the plan is implemented, "Father's" arrangements must not be exposed easily.

"Very good, in two more days, we can proceed..." Father of Yato nodded, very satisfied with his arrangements.

The plan wasn't complicated, but no matter what, the opponent couldn't escape it, even unaware of the impending betrayal... For this preparation, he had used the Yellow Springs Language, summoning countless Masked Demons, unknowingly manipulating a considerable portion of the city's residents, turning them into puppets.

Just waiting for the subsequent monster outbreak...
