Xu Yanwu yanked the blade hard, pulling the Demon in the Box over along with the hilt she held.
Then Xu Yanwu grabbed the Demon in the Box by her fair neck and pinned her against a tree, leaving her unable to move.
"Y-You... how did you know who I am?!"
After being caught by Xu Yanwu, the Demon in the Box could not conceal her shock at all. Fifty thousand years had already passed, and humanity's history had even begun anew. How could anyone still remember her?
"Of course I know. Fifty Thousand Years Ago, as the Twelfth Herrscher, your consciousness had not yet developed a Herrscher personality, but you were still imprisoned by humanity... Until, in the end, those mad people stormed into your cell and killed you while you were unarmed. Only then did your ability emerge... and take revenge against humanity..."
Xu Yanwu listed the events one by one, then looked at the Demon in the Box with a smile. "Tell me, was I right? Twelfth Herrscher of the Previous Era... Herrscher of Corruption?"
"Y-You... why do you know..."
The Demon in the Box's pupils had nearly shrunk to pinpoints. Why did Xu Yanwu know about those events?
"Mm... Why do I know?"
Xu Yanwu pretended to ponder deeply. "Maybe because I'm rather old. Fifty Thousand Years Ago... I happened to be sleeping in that place."
"Y-You're that head I failed to corrupt no matter what I did?!"
The Demon in the Box cried out in alarm.
"Huh?" Xu Yanwu froze. So she had tried to corrupt him too?
The Demon in the Box remembered it now. Fifty Thousand Years Ago, she had seen Xu Yanwu's face before...
As the Twelfth Herrscher of the Previous Era, the Herrscher of Corruption was an ultimate virus possessing self-awareness.
