CHAPTER 387: CHAPTER 203: MATCHMAKER’S LITTLE THOUGHTS_2

To know, at that time of the Green Demon, basically everyone only listened to the Green Demon alone, and everyone else fought for themselves, equal to each other, with no such thing as a second-in-command, it was just recognized that strength was respected.

But when Diao Deyi took over, his side had a second-in-command.

Below him were Bie Huzi, and those two Great Demons who suppressed Tang Shan, all equal in rank.

The lowest were those ordinary demons.

Second-in-command, three executives, quite a bit of formalization.

Could it be that our demon tail really has a chance to grow and strengthen under the leadership of Diao Deyi?

Che Linfang didn’t know; currently, it seemed that their team, since the death of the Green Demon and losing many demons, was greatly weakened and had the least manpower.

Whether they could revive under the guidance of Diao Deyi was really hard to say.

After handling miscellaneous matters, she started arranging for [Traveling Vine Demon] to enter the Luo Shen Cloth Workshop.

Although the envoy was killed, it wasn’t to the point of really tearing faces apart.

Even if privately the relationship between the two sides was almost beyond reconciliation, a superficial peace still had to be maintained; otherwise, if the Great Demons intervened, no one could have good days.

Great Demons, they do not reason with you, they just need... obedient pawns.

...

Luo Shen Cloth Workshop.

Boom!!

The living body shuddered, flesh and blood burst apart, leaving only a blood-drenched human skeleton remaining in place.

Another death?

How many experimental subjects had been called back?

There weren’t many of that batch who drank the Spirit Powder left.

Matchmaker’s face looked somewhat unsightly.

She raised her hand to wipe off the blood on her face, pushed open the Stone Gate.

Two maids at the door quickly stepped forward with small basins, using hot water to wet towels for cleaning the remaining traces of blood on Matchmaker’s face.

"Enough, you go in and clean up the corpse."

"Yes!"

Matchmaker snatched the hot towel and carelessly wiped her face, then threw the towel back into the basin and strode forward.

Ahead, was a stair leading upwards.

She moved the switch, and at the end of the stairs, a light appeared.

Matchmaker walked out of the secret chamber, appearing in the study room where she usually stayed.

The Stone Gate slowly returned to its place, closing the entrance to the secret chamber.

"The experimental subjects Lord Lan requires are not easy to find."

"If they don’t meet the criteria, I wouldn’t dare to send them up; it must be up to standard."

Matchmaker slightly frowned, looking out the window at the scenery, her thoughts stirring.

"The research on Spirit Powder has also reached a bottleneck."

"Where exactly is the problem; these people were already quite suitable containers."

"Once the power of Spirit Powder is activated, they collapse into blood and flesh, humans are really too fragile!"

"The remaining skeletons, the residue of the Spirit Powder’s power retains less than one percent, and even if fed to demons, it’s hardly effective."

Matchaker closed her eyes.

"Should I resort to using quantity to build up? Boiling down the human skeletons to extract the essence?"

"That would require too many people, it’s not suitable for big moves at this crucial juncture."

"Every choice hits a wall, perhaps I have a problem in my approach."

"The combination of Spirit Powder and humans is too rapid, the power too deeply entrenched; once triggered, humans will collapse into flesh and blood."

"If combined too slowly, it loses the function of Spirit Powder, leaving only the human psyche to collapse, turning into madness."

Matchmaker started to summarize herself.

"Spirit Powder ingested by humans demonstrates effects that need precise regulation, precise control of the intensity and power of the Spirit Powder’s burst. Not to let the Spirit Powder collapse the body, yet not dissipate its power."

"This requires a large number of experimental subjects as references for study; I need to capture more people, and it’s time to send down the list for the second and third batches."

"Additionally, if the experimental subjects possess some basis in Martial Arts, it might better advance this area of research."

"My research on humans is still too shallow..."

Matchmaker’s research subjects were mainly demons.

After all, it is to endow demons with the power of Spirit, with humans merely being the medium, the material, chopped into pieces as food ingredients.

The final gathering place is still the body of a demon.

This is a completely different approach from what humans often talk about, the Believers.

"I must not fail Lord Lan’s trust. Whether it’s the research here or the people Lord Lan wants, I must do my best!"

With the death of Green Demon, debts of the dead are nullified.

She also didn’t care about the past rudeness of Green Demon.

It’s said that later Blood Demon took over Green Demon’s area.

She already sent Tang Shan over to probe, and also to exert some pressure.

With the external enemy Bo Zheng Demon and previous persuasion effort, that Blood Demon should know what is best for him.

According to Tang Shan, the subordinates left by Green Demon weren’t easy to control.

"External enemies [Bo Zheng Demon], internal subordinates’ disloyalty and hypocrisy, plus my only support here and suitable pressure, the Blood Demon has no reason not to comply."

"With the right time, place, and people, taking over the Blood Demon, controlling the demons from two regions together, even a bit of commotion can be suppressed, and then we have the capital to find new experimental subjects."

"Even other [demon tails], seeing my new power, weighing the pros and cons, would cooperate more, obtaining more experimental subjects."

"Everything, will move onto the right track."

Matchmaker calculated the possible developments, her personal plans, and the future direction.

And just at that moment...

Knock Knock Knock.

Outside, a knocking sound.

"Matchmaker, someone from Foolish Underworld is here to see you."

Foolish Underworld?

Matchmaker narrowed her eyes; has it been settled so quickly?

"Let him in."
