I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1106 - 1020: Food on the Plate (Part 1)

It wasn't that someone arrived, but rather that a "demon" had arrived.

Similarly sensing the approach of other creatures, Leon reached out, gently touched the black goat, and once again used the Snake-man Secret Skill's Abnormal Transformation Secret Technique, merging himself within the black goat.

Shortly after Leon hid himself, two teams of female demons completely covered in thick garments, not even revealing their faces, trod upon the pink spores of the decadent trees covering the mountains, jumped over the tree roots, and leapt down into the valley where the two were, blocking all routes of escape.

Strange, the aura clearly belongs to a sheep, so why does it look human?

After glancing at the human-looking "Leon," the leading female demon's expression of joy slightly faded, and she asked with full of confusion:

"What kind of demon are you? Why have you secretly infiltrated the Evil Desire Nest?"

And who are you, daring to talk to us like this?

As a great demon who has gathered the seven deadly sins, the black goat, even among demons, is definitely among the most uncultured ones. As soon as it returned to its long-lost abyssal home, it couldn't help but want to let loose, feeling the thick and chaotic corrupt atmosphere.

"Hmph!"

Glancing at these lesser demons that weren't even as powerful as great demons, the black goat looked up arrogantly and said:

"I am... huh..."

Just as it started speaking halfway, the black goat's nose started to involuntarily tingle, and the world before its eyes suddenly became quite blurry.

"Huh... Achoo..."

Unable to resist opening its mouth with a big yawn, the black goat with teary eyes softened slightly, then with a thud, it collapsed headfirst on the spot, directly starting to snore.

As the black goat fell, the deep layers of the Evil Desire Nest echoed simultaneously with clear snoring sounds.

Subsequently, a massive wind carrying a corrupt odor swept through, as the snoring sounds from the depths of the earth echoed, causing the decadent trees swaying in the sharp wind to wither and decay, and barren toxic wheat sprouted from cracking rock crevices, countless dusty, broken cobwebs connecting everywhere.

The once vibrant, at least lively-looking Evil Desire Nest, seemed to have been abandoned for hundreds or thousands of years, instantly becoming declining and desolate, even the clothes on those female demons were inexplicably covered with a layer of gray and yellow dust.

"Where on earth did this idiot come from?"

Extending a hoof wrapped in thick cloth to kick the collapsed black goat, looking at his attire, the leading female demon couldn't help but express confusion:

"Skin uncovered, ears exposed, no bite marks left by sleepless bats... He dared to come to our Evil Desire Nest to steal sheep without any preparation? Isn't he afraid of being washed into an empty shell by Belphégor's snoring?"

"Sister, maybe he really isn't afraid~"

Checking the black goat from the behind the natural crystal spectacles, another female demon couldn't help but lick her lips, then brightening her eyes slightly, she said:

"This is a great demon of the same rank as a Saint Spirit. For a great demon of his rank, the snoring left behind by Lord Belphégor might at most let him sleep for half a day, it won't be life-threatening."

Great demon?

The lead female demon was slightly stunned at this, then bent down again to inspect again, soon surprisingly discovering that this fool who came to steal sheep without any preparation was indeed a genuine great demon, even just a step away from the Demon Lords.

Why would a great demon of his rank come to steal sheep? And even if it's for stealing sheep... hmm... no, that's wrong!

Lifting up the soundly asleep black goat and cautiously sniffing him, the leading female demon's eyes unexpectedly widened.

"Wrong! It's not a great demon that came to steal sheep, it's actually a meat sheep!"

"What?!!"

...

Hmm... where is this...?

After waking up from a deep sleep, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling above, the black goat suddenly felt a little disoriented.

I remember... wasn't I just about to strike a mighty blow to teach those demons who don't respect the strong a lesson? How did I just fall asleep and end up being tied up?

Moreover, since I'm tied up, where's the Food God hidden in my body? Why didn't that bastard rescue me? Could it be that he also failed?

'I didn't fail, I just figured you weren't in any real danger, so I didn't act to rescue you.'

Not bothering about the black goat secretly cursing him in his heart, seeing that it seemed to have recovered from the truth remnants of the Lazy Demon God, Leon opened his mouth to remind:

'Even though the Evil Desire Nest is just one prison of the Abyss Hundred Prisons, it's still a complete sub-plane. Exploring on your own would be both troublesome and time-consuming, so it's easier to let you be captured by those succubi.'

'...'

Nonsense, if it was for convenience, then capturing those succubi and forcing them to reveal the path, flying directly over would be more convenient, wouldn't it?

'That would be faster, but not more convenient, and not safe enough either.'

After correcting the black goat's thoughts, Leon calmly explained:

'The thing that put you to sleep, it's the snoring left by the Lazy Demon God during his slumber, which could essentially be regarded as the echo of its [Coffin Rotting Corpse] truth.

Although I could extract the leftover truth to forcibly wake you from your slumber, it would be tantamount to confronting its truth squarely, potentially drawing its attention.'

Damn it, so you're saying you chose not to save me? No way! Although I didn't actually 'say' these words in my heart, why does this bastard know what I'm thinking?

'Firstly, I did not choose to not save you.'

Having listened carefully to the thoughts of the black goat, Leon serenely continued to explain:

'For beings below the True God level, even just a partial echo of the truth is enough to let them sleep like corpses in a sarcophagus until they thoroughly rot away, but you have grasped part of the power of sloth, so that sort of residual echo is not fatal to you. Just sleep it off.'

'...'

'Secondly, I am indeed able to know what you're thinking. For someone like me using the Snake-man Secret Skill, hiding inside your "interior," your thoughts are almost transparent to me, including cursing me as a bastard and jerk, I can hear it all clearly.'

'!?!?!'

Oh no! With how petty this bastard is, once he finds out I've been secretly cursing him in my heart all along, won't he go all out to deal with me harshly?

'Rest assured, since I've told you, it means I am not intending to make things difficult for you.'

Feeling the sudden tightening of the black goat's heartbeat, Leon nonchalantly said:

'No one can truly align their thoughts and words perfectly. I often curse the director in my heart, just as I won't be demanding that others are perfectly aligned in thought and speech with me.

As for you... as long as you get the job done, and don't deliberately cause trouble for me, I can pretend not to hear you occasionally curse me in your heart.'

Only when you curse the third time will I start keeping a small black record on you.
