Chapter 653 Memories of Lihu County

After vomiting a pool of black worm matter, the demon girl, who had basically returned to her normal appearance, seemed to become extremely weak.

Before Lin Lan and Yun Xian looked at each other and tried to communicate with her, she fell back and fainted.

After Lin Lan used the light element to eliminate the black matter in front of the demon king, he and Yun Xian walked to the demon king and observed carefully.

Yun Xian crouched down, summoned two blue butterflies, and closed her eyes slightly after the demon king's body fell.

After a long time, Yun Xian opened her eyes, stood up and whispered to Lin Lan:

"Commander, she was severely eroded by the disaster, so severely that the reason she can still maintain her life is that she relies on the pollutants of the disaster as the source of support."

Lin Lan was not surprised to hear the conclusion drawn by Yun Xian's analysis.

Because according to the historical records of the Nine Islands of Liaozhou, the demon king's army had been wreaking havoc in Liaozhou a thousand years ago.

The demon king who existed at that time was sealed after being defeated by Yuki until now, and was unsealed and captured by Siren by unknown means.

After being eroded by the power of the mysterious enemy for such a long time, the demon king in front of him could actually recover to his original appearance, which made him feel it was a miracle.

But if the demon king really relied on the energy of the mysterious enemy to survive, if he rashly eradicated the mysterious enemy energy in the demon king's body, wouldn't the demon king die on the spot?

Then what was the point of the purifier handing the demon king over to him?

Combined with the fact that the black bone armor and scales on the demon king's body yesterday were not as serious as before, Lin Lan also thought and analyzed and said:

"If I'm not mistaken, if these pollutants in her body are not eradicated, they will definitely continue to regenerate and turn her into the monster she was just now."

"Not only that, commander."

Yun Xian controlled the blue butterfly that landed on the demon king's chest to fly to her fingertips. She turned sideways and looked at Lin Lan, with a somewhat complicated tone:

"The source of disaster pollution in her body will continue to emit the breath of disaster, which can subtly affect the surrounding environment and creatures, and transform into a life structure similar to her."

Lin Lan was reminded by Yun Xian, and also remembered the black mist that filled the air around them just now.

Needless to say, it was precisely because of the Demon King's innate ability that the fragments of the invisible breath that were basically harmless in the Imperial Sacred Tree barrier were awakened.

This is really a big and thorny problem.

Seeing that the Demon King had no intention of waking up for a while, Lin Lan asked Yunxian to call in Nagato, Musashi and others who were guarding outside the shrine.

Now the threat of the Demon King has been temporarily lifted, but he feels it is necessary to discuss with the Sakura Empire's ship girls how to deal with the Demon King next.

According to his original idea, it is actually the safest way to kill the Demon King directly.

But what the Purifier said to him yesterday, and the attitude of the Siren towards the Demon King's army's experimental subjects, made him temporarily list this method as the worst option.

After catching the Demon King and the monsters of the Demon King's army, the Siren is fully capable of killing them directly, so why keep them locked up for research?

This shows that the Demon King and the Demon King's army definitely have mysteries that even the Siren cannot solve.

Lin Lan even seriously suspected that once the mystery of the Demon King and the Demon King's army was solved, it would be very likely to be an effective help in their fight against the mysterious enemy X.

After Nagato and the others came to his side, Lin Lan told them everything that had just happened in a few words.

After listening to his narration and his speculation about the mystery of the Demon King and the Demon King's army, the far-sighted senior Mikasa was the first to agree with him.

"The commander is right. Killing the Demon King may seem easy, but if we don't figure out how she was corrupted by X, no one knows whether there will be a second or third Demon King."

Mikasa said in a firm tone, and Shinano nodded, looking at Lin Lan and said:

"Yes, Commander, do you remember that at the Sardinia Expo, even Marco Polo, a scientific research ship, could not resist the erosion of X?"

Lin Lan nodded to Shinano. Of course, he remembered the game plot at the Expo, where Marco Polo almost summoned the mysterious enemy X himself.

However, Marco Polo became so extreme because he was affected by the "crown" eroded by the power of X. After the crown was shattered by Archbishop Richelieu of Iris, Marco Polo also returned to normal in the prison cell of the Sardinian Empire.

Seeing Lin Lan nod, Shinano slowly expressed her opinion:

"This demon king is so similar to Marco Polo's situation in your description just now. It is very likely that she is kind by nature and became a demon king after being influenced by X."

Shinano's words made everyone fall into deep thought.

Lin Lan felt that Shinano's reasoning was very likely. The reason why Marco Polo took the initiative to wear the crown contaminated by X was to make the Sardinian Empire rise and have the power to fight against the Sirens.

The plot in the game mentioned that the crown contaminated by X took the initiative to show Marco Polo the scene of the Siren fleet being defeated in front of the mysterious enemy.

And it was through this method that X gradually induced Marco Polo's mind to become distorted.

If the Demon King, like Marco Polo, became crazy because of X's corruption, then it would be even more impossible for him to kill the Demon King.

You know, the crown contaminated by X appeared on Marco Polo's desk out of thin air for some reason.

If X used this method again in this other world, it is very likely to replicate the terrifying world-destroying disaster.

Before that, he had to find a way to crack this method from the Demon King.

After all, X was a polluted Demon King thousands of years ago, but who knows whether X will come to his ship girls again in this other world.

However, just when Lin Lan was sure of this and planned to ask Yunxian and Nagato to seal the Demon King with a barrier first, and then find a way later...

The little profiteer Akashi, who had not spoken all this time, squatted beside the Demon King and complained about the Demon King's restoration of his girlish appearance, but his heart was shocked.

"As a Demon King, he looks so handsome, which is completely different from the Demon King's Army Commander who first met meow."

Akashi's complaint made Lin Lan suddenly recall the scene in his spiritual world after he was attacked by the Demon King's Army Commander Abbot in Lihu County.

The terrifying eyeball monster showed its true form in his spiritual world and intended to kill him, but was purified by the talisman carried by Akashi.

At the moment when Abbott was purified and dissipated, he seemed to see a black and red cube slowly turning into powder.

Later, after meeting Shattered Dome, he learned that the black and red cube was the Meta Cube filled with meta energy.

"Abbott was obviously controlled by the Sirens at that time and was sent to the United States of Orlan by the Sirens."

"As the commander-in-chief of the Demon King's army, it should be contaminated by X like the Demon King, relying on the contaminated energy of X to survive, and should not be controlled by the Sirens."

"Why was Abbott not only alive and well at that time, but also had a certain degree of rationality that enabled him to communicate with him?"

"Wait! Could it be..."

Lin Lan suddenly thought of a possibility in his mind. He looked at the little profiteer who was still squatting beside the Demon King and asked anxiously:

"Akashi, did you bring the Mind Cube?"
