Chapter 319: The Empire's Administrative Affairs Are Flowing!

The Great Demon grew increasingly panicked as he spoke.

Especially at the end, he realized that all his hard work had simply brought everything back to square one.

Even a change‑loving Jianqi‑type Great Demon only felt a tingling on his scalp.

Only at this moment did he gain a sliver of time to explain to Xisi, and he felt the world become a little clearer.

But after Xisi heard the Great Demon's despair, no trace of mercy or compassion appeared on his face.

He only, after finishing, stared at the dozen‑plus seconds wasted on himself, his face full of indifference.

"Finished?"

"Finished, go back to your workstation!"

Great Demon: "......"

Without even a spark of anger, the Great Demon was stunned for a while by Xisi's cold, inhuman words.

Until Xisi left without looking back, Luojia watched the Great Demon, who had just left, instantly pile up a massive mountain of excrement, and, furious, grabbed a long whip to resume the "symphony".

Struck by the divine‑powered magic whip, the Great Demon began shrieking, then glanced at the rapidly forming mound of excrement behind him; in his eyes there was no desire to retreat to avoid the whip, only a deep, profound despair.

At this moment, the Great Demon felt only endless regret, wondering why he had ever answered the Empire's summons.

He had thought he was coming to the real universe for a grand feast, at worst a thrilling battle or intrigue full of change.

But it turned out to be, unexpectedly, a "job" in the real universe!

It was the kind of endless work bound by a forced contract you couldn't escape.

Suicide?

Do you think the Great Demons don't want it?

Although the Luojia Golden Word Envoy's contract power is formidable, it isn't that no greater Great Demon has found a loophole, managed to commit suicide, and exile themselves back to Subspace.

But then......

Recalling the Great Demons watching a successful suicide, before they could even feel envy.

In a distant row of rooms used to summon Great Demons, that demon was summoned again; the horror at that moment was no less than when they saw Jianqi's downfall!

Although this Great Demon didn't explain why he was summoned back so quickly, when the surrounding demons covertly asked whether there was any contact with Jianqi, urging Jianqi to find a way to rescue them,

the suicide‑experienced Great Demon suddenly wore an inexplicable awkwardness on his face.

Faced with the surrounding Great Demons' relentless questioning of Jianqi, he remained silent from start to finish.

And the work he abandoned during his suicide, having been piled up again, made his return even busier than before.

Luojia perfectly fulfilled his supervisory duties, precisely targeting the Great Demons' pain points.

Any Great Demon who has committed suicide sees his workload double without justification upon return.

This became the reason why countless Jianqi demons, after finally escaping back to Subspace, scramble to commit suicide.

If they die too slowly, the double despair awaits them back on Terra!

One death yields double, two deaths quadruple, three deaths octuple......

The Jianqi demons could only imagine, shivering to the bone, wishing they could turn and surrender to Terror.

Change? What change?

You know, I've long been a follower of Terror; what I despise most as a demon is having to think!

That's not even the innermost thought; when Xisi walked past the completely despondent, numb Great Demon, and arrived at the farther evil‑demon work zone.

In an even more vast office area, before endless rows of desks, sat countless Administrative Demons with expressions of despair.

Servo Skulls whizzed overhead, delivering endless internal‑affairs documents from all directions.

And as Xisi led a newly‑arrived palace Administrative Demon into this space.

Seeing the view ahead where even Great Demons couldn't get away, the Administrative Demons, who had already accepted their fate, were nonetheless shocked enough to retreat a half step.

Because at the instant they looked ahead, even though most Administrative Demons were working themselves to death, the rising and falling suicide glows still dotted the endless desks without cease.

Only the front legs of these suicide‑prone Jianqi evil demons die back to Subspace; the vast majority of their hind legs are dragged back by the contract.

The ash of the previous body hasn't even dispersed, and the next second the new body is already seated at the workstation.

Then the nearby Servo Skulls, following preset programs, simply doubled the incoming work documents.

Death?

Previously, this benefit of being attacked in the real universe and automatically reviving in Subspace existed.

In the current scene, it has become a genuine horror for the Jianqi demons.

Even if a tiny fraction manages to break free of the contract and return to Subspace.

They still must devise every possible means to complete the final suicide protocol before the other evil demons in Subspace can crazily hunt them.

Otherwise the result is spending extra time, entering the palace a second time, or even a third!

And to boost these Administrative Demons' work enthusiasm, the supervising Harbinger beside them clutched a Holy Record in one hand and a magic whip in the other, roaming and shouting amid the crack of the whip.

"007, your blessings~"

"It is Saint Xisi who bestows upon you the supreme mercy."

"Do not fear death; after dying, Saint Xisi's benevolence will revive you, and you will continue to receive this endless bliss."

"Therefore, do not contemplate suicide; any who are found committing suicide and are summoned back after death will have their workload instantly doubled!"

For these Administrative Demons whose combat power is essentially nil, the Harbingers have complete control.

Thus there is no need to worry about any real‑universe uprising.

After all, an uprising is treated as suicide; after death, work returns doubled!

"Sir, you have arrived."

Xisi gazed at the spectacular scene before him, and Fanluosi, who had followed Xisi all the way to Terra, hurriedly came forward to greet him.

The Great Demon sector ahead is overseen by Luojia, while the Administrative Demon sector behind is supervised by Fanluosi.

"These are the latest two hundred thousand administrative demons sent over from Washituoer; allocate them."

Xisi gets straight to the point, while Fanluosi directly looks at the several Huaiyaner Company Commanders beside him; these commanders are also no‑nonsense, after saluting Xisi they immediately turn and bring the administrative demons into the office area.

"How has the recent work efficiency been?"

Xisi watches another batch of administrative demons begin to receive "blessings".

He turns to ask Fanluosi about the overall condition of the Internal Affairs Department after the reforms, and upon hearing this question, Fanluosi's face shows none of the torment the demons endure of "daring not to live, daring not to die".

Fanluosi's face immediately breaks into a radiant smile:

"The efficiency is quite pleasing."

"Moreover, these demons don't have to worry about wear and pressure; even if they die they automatically resurrect."

"There are many improvements in the details; I will compile a detailed report and send it to the superior."

"But if I were to summarize it in one sentence now, the Empire's administrative…"

"…has finally become fluid!"
