Chapter 813: Bottom of the Chaos Abyss
The succubus before me walked very slowly. Judging from how her body constantly trembled, she had been really scared by me. She also kept sneaking glances back at me as if she had already noticed my dissatisfaction.
"It seems that it's true how succubi have the talent to naturally understand others' intentions as good or evil?"
The succubus Tina kept trembling in fear. She would instantly start shaking all over whenever I as much as looked in her direction. It felt like she would try and escape at any moment, but also that she didn't dare to run.
Tina wasn't wrong at all to be afraid of my intentions. The extreme situation the world was in called for extreme measures. It would be foolish to even think about talking with demons about human rights. From the very start, various "ideas" had been flashing through my mind.
I really wanted to use the most direct method of finding a dark corner and using soul-searching magic to immediately obtain all of the succubus Tina's memories. That would be the fastest and most direct way, but we were on a main path, and far too much attention was on us.
This was likely the enemy's main base. If I was exposed here… Well, it would be better to use a gentler and more indirect method.
I had far too little information. The more I said, the more likely I would be to make a mistake. It would be best to obtain as much information as I could.
"Report to me on the latest progress."
This sounded simple, but was actually the most appropriate sentence for the current scenario. A boss wouldn't need to explain anything when asking for a subordinate to report on the progress of work.
However, it all ended up being useless.
"We really aren't slacking off, we haven't slacked off at all! The recent progress… progress, two Berserker Demons just joined my small team, they're really strong, and work really hard, but they're a little stinky, so could we please send them somewhere else…"
Tina kept stuttering as she said various useless things. She seemed to notice that I was becoming more dissatisfied as she talked, so her voice got smaller and smaller.
This wasn't because she had noticed anything or was trying to conceal information. It was simply that she knew far too little due to her insufficient rank.
A small team leader would have to do anything that her bosses requested of her. She would only know a little. The overly minor details would be meaningless to me. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry as Tina kept reporting to me on how poor her team's food was and how idiotic her teammates were.
I patiently listened to her for quite a while. All I learned was that they were building something.
'Where is this place? Just what are all of you so busy working on?'
I really wanted to ask that out loud, but I could sense that there was much attention upon us. If I really asked that out loud, then I would likely have to fight my way out of here.
I did my best to remain patient as I continued listening to Tina's "report". However, she was already beginning to cry a little, probably because my expression was becoming ever darker. But I still didn't tell her to stop, which meant that she kept trying her best to tell me more.
"…I was previously a barmaid in the Capital of Rage, the 162th level of the Chaos Abyss, but I never expected that I would one day be here at the original source of all demons…"
My eyes lit up as I finally heard something highly useful.
'The original source of all demons? So I'm currently in the Chaos Abyss?'
I checked my memories and found only one possible location that fitted this description.
I was at the deepest part of the Chaos Abyss, where Cynthia's physical body was in hibernation!
