Chapter 32. Dekan's Sting Operation

As long as the price is right, even a demon will sell you their soul.

Of course, if the deception is good enough, that's another story. Perhaps no price is needed at all.

—Dekan.

My gaze made the Music Teacher's scalp tingle.

"I, I will do my utmost to assist Your Excellency."

The Music Teacher knew he had no room to bargain.

I nodded in satisfaction and said:

"The main suspect of our operation this time is—Miss Olive.

Not only is she secretly hiding humans in her laboratory for torture, but she is also suspected of repeatedly violating school rules.

If you have any information about her, please assist us in our investigation.

If there are any more surprise inspections like this in the future, I will give you some hints in advance, within my capabilities."

After hearing my words, the Music Teacher's heart was already in turmoil.

The higher-ups' investigation was that thorough?

Perhaps they were already fully aware of his past violations, just lacking an opportunity to catch him in the act!

Looking at it this way, the other party wasn't specifically targeting him; it seemed the main target was the big fish, Olive.

In order to catch Olive's flaw, the other party was even willing to offer him a significant guarantee.

The Music Teacher took a deep breath and said, "Please don't let anyone know I said this."

"Of course, rest assured, my lips are always sealed."

"Teacher Olive indeed has violating behaviors. She often ignores the rules and forcibly abducts passing demons into her laboratory.

Good-looking demons might be let go by her, while the unattractive ones are tortured and then killed.

Additionally, she is a sadist and also has masochistic tendencies.

Compared to killing, she enjoys the pursuit of extreme stimulation more."

The Music Teacher said slowly.

I asked, "How do you know?"

The Music Teacher replied, "I was abducted by her once."

“......”

I was momentarily silent.

This Music Teacher was indeed much more handsome than the other demon teachers I had seen before.

I asked, "Any other information?"

The Music Teacher said, "That would be about what happened between her and me in the Demon Laboratory. That day......"

"Whoa—hold on a second."

I hurriedly stopped him; I was still live-streaming.

Then, I temporarily cut off the broadcasting function of the 【Shadow World Broadcast Program】.

"Tell me the details."

......

"So this is how demons like to play."

I complained inwardly.

But I didn't dare to joke too much about demons in my heart, fearing that Shijiang would sense my thoughts.

Even though Shijiang had never deigned to associate with her own kind and had clearly stated that she would be sleeping, she was always very cunning.

I had been bullied by her quite a bit in the beginning.

I patted the Music Teacher's shoulder, "Thank you for your cooperation. My promise to you remains valid."

The Music Teacher hurriedly nodded and bowed in thanks.

"Oh, right,"

I suddenly seemed to remember something, which gave the Music Teacher a start.

"Could I trouble you to deliver this instrument to the door of the Principal's office? It's a bit old and is affecting the quality of teaching. I'll have the Principal get you a new one."

I said, pointing to the piano.

"No problem! Thank you!"

The Music Teacher replied crisply.

As long as it wasn't something bad, and what's more, it was such a good thing?

He then politely saw me off from the music classroom and promised to deliver the piano to the Principal's office as soon as possible.

Not far from the music classroom, Cornelia watched the demon teacher's fawning manner as he saw me off.

She felt like she had a lot to complain about but didn't know where to start.

But when she thought that it was her good teammate Dekan, it didn't seem so strange anymore.

I quickly regrouped with Cornelia and led her towards the next destination.

"Cornelia, we can go meet Miss Olive now. I've discovered that the reason these demons are particularly easy to deal with is that they follow their desires and instincts too much, making their weaknesses overly obvious. Although Miss Olive seems to be the most chaotic and difficult to deal with, in reality... she might be the easiest to solve."

"Alright, what should I do?"

"Your mission this time is crucial......"

The two of us plotted in low voices along the way, occasionally using the unique language between them.

Following the map's markings, we arrived not far from the Demon Laboratory.

Two more corners and we would reach the corridor where the Demon Laboratory was located.

"Cornelia, you can wait here."

I stopped.

Knowing that Miss Olive might directly grab students near the Demon Laboratory, this should be a relatively safe distance.

"Mm."

Cornelia nodded.

Once again, just as arranged before entering the music classroom, I would challenge the room while Cornelia waited outside.

......

In the Heavenlit Academy Broadcast Hall.

Many senior students had also gathered to watch mine and Cornelia's progress.

"With this route, are they going to tackle the final room directly?"

The director had previously recorded the map I drew and placed it in the bottom right corner of the screen to provide a better viewing experience for all spectators.

"That can't be right, they haven't gathered enough information yet!"

A senior student lamented, holding his head.

Although my methods for clearing the normal rooms were very unorthodox, in this type of exploration-based Shadow World, the final room was a completely different concept.

Underestimating it in the slightest would lead to a heavy price and all previous efforts would be in vain!

"Hasn't he already collected enough information?"

A junior student asked, puzzled.

However, the nearby senior students all shook their heads.

"Miss Olive doesn't necessarily follow the rules and possesses extremely high combat power."

"That is to say, the Demon Laboratory is difficult to clear successfully, whether through puzzles or brute force."

"Considering it logically, for a Rank 4 challenger to have a chance to defeat Miss Olive, there's only one answer."

"And that is to use the Principal to deal with her."

"So they actually need to gather information about the Principal's pattern of appearance in the school, then time it right, lure Miss Olive into violating the rules, and have the Principal kill her."

Many senior students explained patiently.

This made the junior students have a sudden realization.

"But, have these two... ever followed a normal route?"

“......”

Someone's question silenced all the students.

Their worry gradually shifted from me to Miss Olive.

......

I walked to the front of the Demon Laboratory and took a deep breath.

If I had to say which room was slightly dangerous after coming to this Rank 4 Shadow World, it would definitely be this Demon Laboratory.

Of course, the "danger" I was referring to was not danger in the conventional sense.

Rather—if I took a single wrong step, my live-streaming career would be in danger of being permanently banned.

After all, my appearance might be very much to Olive's taste, and my current race probably even had a charm bonus.
