Chapter 251: Sixty-Fourth Floor, Intelligence (10)

The demon’s corpse was in the last tent.
It was encased in a glass cylinder the size of a human torso, looking almost entirely unchanged from how I had left it. Despite the passage of time, it didn’t appear to have decayed or discolored.
Is it because it is a demon?

Redirun hadn’t lied; the Imperial agents had been preparing to leave soon.
