Dekan is about to plunge the entire hospital into his clutches

Listening to Dekan's increasingly maniacal laughter.

The young nurse felt a chill run down her spine and just wanted to get as far away as possible.

She sensed that this guy was planning something Terror...

Staying by his side, you wouldn't have enough lives to spare!

Especially a weak demon like her.

"Can I... leave now?"

The young nurse asked timidly.

It seems the other party has finished asking their questions.

Surely a high-ranking demon would keep its word?

However, Dekan simply looked directly into the nurse's timid eyes and smiled meaningfully.

He had genuinely intended to let the young nurse go.

But now he needs a helper.

Or, to put it another way, a super laborer who can work continuously for dozens of hours without getting tired.

Clearly, this hardworking and conscientious nurse in the hospital, who is also quite intelligent, is a good option.

"Be a decent human being..."

The Master clearly saw what Dekan was planning.

This young nurse didn't quite enjoy the same treatment as Professor Batchel in the Cooking Classroom.

But it probably won't be much better.

Are you pitying her?

Dekan asked his Master in his heart.

Master: "No, you did it perfectly."

Even if this young nurse hadn't provoked Dekan.

But just like in the original Shadow World, when Dekan and Cornelia randomly grabbed Demon Student on the street and sent them to Batchel, those cannon fodder demons did nothing wrong; they were merely serving as enemy soldiers.

Dekan was also very clear-headed. This was Shadow World, where everything was merely a projection of history. As a challenger, his top priority was to achieve his own goals.

Just as Dekan was about to start a conversation with the young nurse...

"Trying to persuade her probably won't work."

The Master suddenly told him in Dekan's heart.

How did you know? Did you know her before?

Dekan had begun to sense that his Master had developed a bit of pity for the young nurse.

Logically speaking, the Master shouldn't have this kind of personality.

Could this young nurse be an old friend of the Master?

"I just feel like you can't fool her with your usual tricks. She seems different from ordinary demons, but what exactly is she...?"

The Master seemed to be trying hard to recall, but he couldn't find any memories related to the nurse Eve.

Everything is just a feeling.

"..."

Dekan suddenly felt he was in a bit of a predicament.

If Eve is indeed Talomati's old friend, and is trying to find her Master's memories, then perhaps the little nurse will play a key role.

"Do as you see fit. Even if you run into me, don't hold back."

The Master did not want potentially inaccurate information to interfere with Dekan's judgment.

Of course.

Dekan responded with his thoughts.

Even if he encountered Talomati, he would immediately put on a show of sacrificing family for the greater good!

He won't be soft-hearted.

After a brief silence, Dekan finally looked at the nurse and asked:

"Do you want Demon Point?"

"Ah?"

The young nurse was surprised by Dekan's sudden question.

"I can help you earn tens of thousands of Demon Point quickly."

Dekan further explained.

What are you talking about?

The nurse asked, bewildered.

"Being my assistant, I can earn at least 10,000 Demon Point in a week."

Dekan stood up, pointed slightly at the nurse, and spoke each word with exceptional slowness.

After checking again, the nurse was finally certain that Dekan hadn't misspoke.

10,000 Demon Point a week?

What kind of nonsense is this?

She felt that this number of Demon Point was beyond her comprehension, even in her wildest dreams...

"Are you lying to me?"

The nurse's first reaction upon hearing this was, of course, to be extremely excited.

But then they became extremely vigilant!

She didn't doubt whether this demon could actually do it, but she believed that even if he could, there would be a terrible price to pay!

This great demon seemed to have discovered her deepest, most persistent desire and began to openly tempt her!

"Whether I'm lying or not, I can prove it to you in an hour."

Dekan walked halfway around the desk, then leaned back against it, resting his chin on his black gloves, and smiled with exceptional confidence.

"Anyway, if you go to other departments in the next hour, you'll be lucky to earn a few dozen Demon Point. But if you come with me, not to mention the twenty Demon Point you just casually earned, you might even earn hundreds in an hour! Why not give it a try? There's nothing you'll lose."

Dekan simply continued to seduce her.

This young nurse's desires are far too obvious.

No matter how mature her thinking or how strong her willpower is.

Anyone whose weaknesses Dekan has found can be slowly manipulated and gradually eroded.

The nurse made a gurgling sound in her throat.

She was really wavering.

I hesitated for a moment.

"No, please let me go."

The young nurse was very rational and shook her head.

Her unwavering desire not to easily succumb to herself is one of the secrets to her survival to this day.

"...?"

The nurse's attitude surprised Dekan slightly.

He probably already guessed what the nurse wanted most.

Moreover, her obsession with Demon Point runs extremely deep; she's even willing to work herself to the bone.

Surprisingly, he rejected him without hesitation.

This is unlike any other demon ever seduced by Dekan.

Could it be that the Master does indeed know Eve?

That's how you understand or recognize her true nature at a glance?

"Why do I feel that you are more like a human than a demon?"

Dekan frowned and questioned.

The nurse reminded him most of Altis, the counterpart to the Ice Princess, compared to the other demons.

"How could that be! If my bloodline were even slightly fake, I wouldn't be allowed to work in the Demon Realm Hospital during wartime!"

The nurse quickly held up her Demon Bracelet, pointing at it to prove her innocence.

The rules the nurse mentioned do indeed exist in the Demon Realm Hospital's regulations.

In such strategic locations, it is crucial to ensure there are absolutely no traitors within the organization during wartime.

Because so far, most of the traitors in the Demon Realm have been hybrid demons with other bloodlines, they can occasionally develop emotions that are completely different from those of pure demons.

A pure demon is a creature incapable of feeling guilt or remorse. Malice and desire are the instincts that drive their actions. Even if a demon were to betray another demon for amusement, it is impossible for any demon to genuinely want to help humanity, unless they are completely insane.

Delois, on the other hand, was clearly a pure-blooded demon, as only he could pass the hospital's examination.

Later, he was replaced by Dekan in the Shadow World.

"Interesting..."

Dekan stared at the young nurse as if he had discovered a rare creature.

Compared to Delois, who wanted to understand humanity, Dekan was more interested in understanding demons, beings that could no longer be found in the present world.

He wanted to dispel the misunderstandings people had about him and make them think less like he was a demon.

He felt perfectly fine, but everyone else seemed to think there was something wrong with him.

This shows that there is a misunderstanding.

Therefore, Dekan needs to clearly and accurately distinguish the difference between humans and demons from an academic perspective in order to prove to everyone that he has no problems.

Dekan has even come up with his graduation thesis.

Let's start from the perspective of demons and humans.

They even aim to compile a textbook on "Demonology" to popularize it to everyone.

However, Dekan was already tired of studying ordinary demons.

After confronting all the demons he had encountered before, Dekan concluded that pure-blooded demons were almost incapable of understanding human emotions.

However, there was one exception— the Master —which greatly troubled Dekan regarding the conclusion.

How exactly did she come to understand it? What was the process? What conditions were required? Or what price did she pay to come to this understanding?

This problem can be considered the only difficulty that Dekan's project has not yet been solved.

It would be great to have a research subject.

However, having encountered demons like Batchel and Olive, Dekan simply didn't believe Dekan experimenting on such creatures would make them understand human emotions.

Even if we experiment for a lifetime, we probably won't succeed.

This young nurse seems to possess qualities unlike those of ordinary demons.

She may have already taken a big step forward in understanding humanity compared to other demons.

Besides being an excellent tool demon in her own right, Dekan was even more convinced that this girl was a rare academic subject.

Dekan, who originally planned to use and discard this foolish devil after the nurse succumbed to desire, gradually became convinced that Eve had some other value.

Just as Dekan was hesitating whether to try seduction again with [Three-Corpse Berserk] or take the intimidation route with [Batchel's Sword of Despair]...

"If you agree to one condition, I will help you wholeheartedly and never betray you."

The young nurse seemed to have mustered all her courage as she stared at Dekan and spoke.

Although she was trembling all over, she seemed determined to take a gamble with her life on the line.

She seemed to have anticipated Dekan's thoughts all along.

Dekan has just changed his mind and won't let her off easily.

Rather than defying such a great demon and waiting for a tragic end, it's better to try and seize the opportunity to escape this calamity.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Dekan was clearly interested in the nurse's suggestion, making no attempt to hide his true feelings in his expression and tone.

The nurse swallowed hard.

As I suspected, this great demon was interested in me.

If that's the case, then there's still room for negotiation.

However, every word he utters from now on could potentially lead to his death.

This is a desperate gamble.

"I bet you're leaving after you've earned enough Demon Point with me, right?"

The nurse asked.

"Go on."

Normally, if the nurse had said something like that, Dekan's first reaction would have been to get rid of her.

But at this moment, there was no threat in Dekan's words.

"Although I don't know what you're planning, I can guess you're plotting something that will get you killed. And as your accomplice, I'll be executed even if I stay in the hospital."

The young nurse, as if prepared to die, said...

"Even if I make money, I need to be alive to spend it. I want you to guarantee my safety, take me with you when we're done, and take me to a safe place."

"Hahaha, you devil, you're so funny!"

After hearing what the nurse said, Dekan finally burst out laughing.

She truly possesses a level of rationality far exceeding that of ordinary demons!

Unlike any of the previous demons, Dekan did not choose to succumb to desire or submit to oppression in the face of Dekan, but instead rationally and carefully considered and analyzed the problem.

Indeed, if she succumbed to her own desires.

Dekan will fulfill her promise and make her incredibly wealthy, but she will also be executed by the hospital because of her greed.

This is the fate that Dekan brings to the greedy.

However, the young nurse successfully escaped this fate through her wisdom and courage, and even won Dekan's favor.

If there truly is a demon capable of understanding humans at the fastest speed, it would undoubtedly be a demon like her who lacks aggression and is highly rational!

Dekan even began to wonder if meeting this young nurse was part of Delois's original plan.

So Dekan looked at her seriously and said:

"I've made up my mind. I will guarantee your safety and take you to a completely safe place. Then our contract will be complete."

The young nurse was somewhat skeptical of Dekan's rapid change in attitude.

But she nodded nonetheless, choosing to trust Dekan without much hesitation.

"Why do I feel like she's the resolute young woman who fights against demons with wit and courage, while you're the great demon trying to lure humanity into the abyss?"

After witnessing the dialogue between Dekan and Eve, the Master felt as if he were watching a classic play.

There seems to be a problem with the character.

The director is somewhat ill.

"How could that be? He's clearly a brave young man who's using his positive and healthy values to reform a demon."

"Yeah..."

"Obviously."

"And did you soften your heart just now?"

Logically, Dekan should have made the treaty more unequal.

And it seems that even if Eve hadn't dared to say those words, Dekan didn't actually intend to harm her.

"Absolutely not."

Dekan and his Master were talking to each other in their minds.

As for Eve...

Dekan will not only see things through to the end, but will also fulfill his promise.

I'm also planning to give her a surprise.

It's just about taking her to a safe place.

Is the territory of Cardinal Lunn of the Holy Rite Church safe?

Absolutely safe.

Dekan was already anticipating her expression when she arrived in the Lunn territory.

He knows how to enjoy life.

"Let's go, I need to submit my application for a cross-departmental appointment."

Dekan gestured for Eve to move aside and stop blocking the door.

His plan was just one step away from completion, requiring only this preparatory work.

However, according to Eve, these volunteer applications don't take long to be approved.

Presumably, we can begin to gradually take over this hospital today.

The great demon inside the hospital had no time to realize the strange changes that were about to occur there...

Inside a ward on the sixth floor.

"Traitor...!"

"Why...?"

Faint, uneasy murmurs echoed in the dimly lit room.

Her voice was sometimes filled with gritted teeth, and sometimes with utter confusion.

The gray-haired devil lying on the hospital bed unconsciously gripped the sheets tightly with both hands.

The next second.

Something seemed to have woken her up, causing her breathing to become steady.

She slowly opened her eyes, and weakly propped herself up to sit up.

Her eyes were somewhat vacant, as if she was still recalling the dream she had just had, unable to fully emerge from it.

I also feel somewhat lost.

She felt very sleepy, and it was very quiet around her. What could have woken her up?

"Gurgle."

The protesting sounds coming from her stomach quickly gave her the answer.

I'm so hungry.

She muttered to herself, seemingly devoid of emotion.
