No sooner had Her Highness the Demon King started her act than the door to the small warehouse opened and in walked several masked men.
"I can't believe you're awake, I thought you wouldn't wake up." Seeing Erolu sitting up, although she couldn't see their expressions, Erolu could still hear their surprise in the tone of voice of the few people across the room.
"Get up if you're awake, you're the last one to wake up. Poor physique can be ......" A few people walked over and lifted Erolu straight up, dragging her out of the small warehouse.
The last one? Were there others who had been abducted? Erolu changed her mind, intending to wait and see what would happen first, and let a few people take her out of the small warehouse.
Coming to the outside of the small warehouse, she walked down the aisle. Erolu took a look at the surroundings and surmised that this was an abandoned factory. There was no way to tell exactly where it was until she walked out, though.
A few masked men led Erolu through two workshops, and Erolu saw several men in the same masks on the way who looked like they were on lookout.
After passing through two heavy iron doors, Erolu was led to an abandoned workshop. In addition to several masked men waiting here, there were several unmasked girls sitting on the floor.
With a wave of the hand of the man next to him, His Highness the Demon King was roughly thrown into the midst of the girls. Then several of the masked men came together and seemed to be discussing something.
Rubbing his buttocks, which were a little sore from the fall, Erolu observed the few girls next to him. Three appeared to be high school students, and two looked like college students. From the way their hands were tied behind their backs, it seemed that they too had been abducted here.
But was it surprising that her hands weren't tied up because she looked too young on the outside? Didn't think there was any threat?
Seeing Erolu, several girls stared in awe. Seeing the surprised glances of several girls, Erolu suddenly remembered a very important question.
Kam ...... the horns on my head. Erolu subconsciously intended to cover the horn on her head with her hand, but found that the magic used to hide it on the horn was still there.
Unlike changing appearance, which requires a continuous supply of magic power, the way that Erolu's magic power is consumed to hide her horns is to provide magic power that is maintained for a long time at once. As long as enough magic power is provided in advance, it will not expire until it is depleted. Therefore it does not expire straight away when she loses consciousness, as is the case with changing her shape.
Erolu was relieved when she noticed the sight of the girls and they were indeed not on her head.
But since none of the magic power used to hide had been used up yet, not much time should have passed. At least it was three days ...... Three days was long enough!!!
The attention of the crowd in the workshop wasn't on a certain little devil with his hands on his head scratching his head. After the shock, several girls glared viciously at the masked men.
"You really are animals, not even sparing such a small child! It really is disgusting enough." One of the young girls, who looked like a university student, cursed directly at the masked men.
However, the masked men were obviously repeat offenders and did not care at all about the young girl's insults, looking as if they were not surprised.
"Can I ask, how long have I been abducted by you guys?" After some thought, Erolu asked the question to the few masked men. After all, determining the time was the first thing to do.
"Hmm? This girl was abducted by 'Aunt Huan' and the others, wasn't she? What a rare find ......" Not answering Erolu's question, one of the masked men examined Erolu's appearance.
"So, how long have I been abducted? Can anyone answer that?" A little annoyed at having his question ignored, Erolu sank back and repeated the question.
"A day and a half, almost two days, right? That's a long enough sleep for you, those little girls next to you woke up over half a day before you did."
Hearing the answer, Erolu's entire body froze in place. A few of the masked men saw Erolu's reaction and laughed a bit gleefully.
No, my good weekend was for nothing? My full game check-in ...... is gone? My guild war knife is not even out yet ah, myself this is to be sharked off by the president?
If this group of traffickers knew what Erolu was thinking at the moment. 80% will think that there is something wrong with Elu's brain ...... and Elu does not care about this, our little devil king, now full of thoughts only about her guild war a few knives less, missed how many event rewards ......
"Okay, you should not be too afraid." Subconsciously thinking that Elu was frozen in place out of fear, a masked man falsely reassured.
"You're relatively young and won't necessarily be sold into the mountains as a daughter-in-law. With any luck, you might be asked to be a daughter by two families who want children. As for the other few, tsk tsk ...... they're all good, what a shame."
The masked man who spoke shook his head, and although his mouth said so, the pity was not at all audible in his tone.
There was a lot of information in these sentences, and Erolu had read about such things on the internet.
Some villagers in remote and backward rural areas would buy young girls back from traffickers. Either for themselves or for their sons as daughters-in-law, to be used for their family's heirloom.
And these girls, more often than not, do not end up well. In the eyes of these people, those girls are no different from goods, tools. They are beaten and scolded, not to mention having any freedom in life.
It's not about education, it's not about status. Girls who are trafficked to the mountains are left with a miserable future. The possibility of escape is basically non-existent, and the hope of being rescued is quite slim.
Erolu sighed, as a new age third best teenager, oh no teenage girl, and no ...... although she skipped class, didn't do her homework, and got into a fight with a gangster (although just once). But as a New Age Third Best Loli, she certainly wouldn't see death and let these scum get away with it.
If Erolu was the only victim, the big deal would be to just mang. Something too bizarre to be said in the mouth of a group of criminals would just be dismissed as a mental problem.
But with other victims here, there was no way Erolu could easily expose herself. The question at hand was how to clean up this bunch of scum without, well, exposing themselves to this group of girls?
"Almost time to move the delivery, come on." Shrugging his head, a masked man in the shape of a leader gave instructions to a few other men.
Being repeat offenders, several of the others immediately grasped the meaning. Quickly pulling out a few soaked rags, they walked towards Erolu and the others.
"That youngest doesn't need to be, any more drugs for fear of problems, just blindfold her."
It was inevitable that too much of this medicine would have an effect on the nerves and brain. Seeing how weak Erolu was, the group really didn't dare to take the risk. After all, Erolu was probably going to be sold to be a daughter, so the gang had to make sure her brain had to be normal.
As for the other girls, for one thing, their bodies weren't that weak and wouldn't go wrong so easily. Secondly, it was fine if their brains were broken, and it didn't take much to sell them into the mountains as daughters-in-law. The group of people, no matter how selective they are, just want a better looking one. Not to mention there weren't that many for them to pick from ...... Even a retarded one would fetch a good price.
"Scum! Scum! You shall not die in peace!" In a group of girls struggling and insults, drug-soaked rags covered their mouths and noses.
Not being as strong as the few masked adult males in front of them, the girls' struggles were doomed to be in vain. The girls soon stopped struggling under the effect of the drug and fell into a deep sleep.
"Okay, next it's your turn little girl. Turn around ......" pulling out a black cloth, one of the masked men instructed Eiru to turn around, intending to blindfold her.
To their surprise, however, the girl before them did not do as she was told. With an intriguing smile on her face, Erolu's reaction eluded them for a moment.
"Hurry up, turn around, behave yourself and don't force my hand." The masked man was a little annoyed and scolded Erolu loudly.
"What if I say no?" Our little devil had a belly-laugh on his face, and stretched his arms in a warm-up gesture.
"You girl, you're not out of your mind, are you? Look at her, you guys, like she's going to fight us." After saying that, several people burst out laughing.
"Well ...... I would have been quite worried. But the most troublesome problem you guys have solved for me." Muttering to herself, she made an arm waving motion. Erolu slowly stretched out her wings and tail behind her ......
The huge wings and tail, nearly two metres long, formed a stark contrast to the girl's petite body. The visual shock to several traffickers was not ordinary.
"What the ...... are you?" The scene before them was clearly beyond the common sense perception of several traffickers. For a moment, several large men stammered and did not know what to say.
"It's the Demon King oh~" selling her moe, Erolu gathered her magic power in her hands and punched the masked man with the black cloth directly in front of her.
"Don't worry lah, I don't like to fight and kill ...... won't take your lives." The vicious smile was like the smile of the god of death in the eyes of a group of human traffickers.
They clearly saw that the loli in front of them, who clearly had no hands, had sent an adult male flying straight away with a single punch. The scene before them was beyond common sense and beyond their comprehension.
"Don't be afraid! She's only one person, come together and get this monster!" A masked man copied a steel pipe and roared. At his call, several others copped a dick.
Tsk ...... had enough standard flags. Her Highness the Demon King wanted to spit, but more than that, she wanted to vent her stomach full of anger.
The phone was smashed, the game data was lost, the game sign-in full attendance was lost, the game event rewards were missed a bunch ...... Our little devil king, now just wants to beat up everyone in this factory ...... well, except for those girls, all of them hard first.
To be honest, I haven't eaten for almost two days and I'm still a bit hungry. Let's just beat up these people and get out of this hellhole ......
Her wings unfolded, and in a gust of wind, her petite body rushed across the street like a cannonball ......
