At the front of the team, players wearing pitch black cloaks stepped forward and came to the door of the Soul Exchange in excitement.
"Finally it's my turn."
The hood of the black robe was pulled back, revealing a pale and bloodless face with blood-red pupils, and sharp teeth vaguely exposed at the corners of the raised mouth.
If you look closely, you will also find an exquisite coat of arms on the player's chest, with a cross pattern of a dagger and a violin engraved on its surface.
This is the symbol of Nocturne, the most feared special agent force composed of vampires in the Ember Empire.
And the identity of this player is also coming out.
He is the former head of the Nocturne Force, the only high-level vampire in the empire, and the notorious Langli Baitiao among the player community.
Looking at the slowly opening door with a ferocious skull carved on it, Langli Baitiao couldn't wait to rub his hands together, showing his iconic, mean smile.
He said excitedly: "When the contract is signed, I will be the first player to combine the powers of a vampire, a devil, and a trickster!
When the time comes, go to those abandoned temples to find an evil god to make a blood sacrifice, then go to the abyss to absorb some demonic power, and raise the poison directly in the body.
I am a prodigal, a man who wants to become the king of all evil! ”
A strange red light came out of the crack in the door, exuding the smell of gunpowder smoke from purgatory, but Langli Baitiao rushed in without hesitation.
The demon of desire walked out slowly, her black skirt slit high, revealing her slender, white legs, and a smile appeared on her bright and charming face. She said softly: "Haha, it seems that a new guest has arrived. .”
Just as she was about to come forward, she stretched out a hand, making a "rejection" gesture, and said righteously: "Madam, I know you are coveting my beauty. But please don’t come near me!”
Even the demon of desire froze in place, with a rare expression of astonishment on her extremely beautiful face. Her red lips slightly opened: "What are you"
However, Langli Baitiao just grinned and sneered: "Oh, is this the desire demon in the guide?"
"He is worthy of being called the Gentle Country of Hell. He is indeed very beautiful, but this cannot shake my iron will!"
Langli Baitiao flew directly into the air, his cloak flying behind him, and his voice became more sonorous and powerful: "The so-called beauty is just a handful of loess in the end."
He raised his right fist high, "Only intensity is the true meaning of all things!"
"Haha, this guest, I am your guide," Eunice said softly, while looking at the white strips in the waves with seductive eyes, she walked forward.
The scent of fragrance hit your face, and the charming red light appeared in those watery eyes.
The desire demon is very confident, and no mortal can resist her temptation. Even the most determined person will fall to his knees and sink under her skirt.
However, Langli Baitiao was already prepared. He showed a bright smile and put on a gas mask.
The fragrance was blocked by the filter, the charming eyes were blocked by the glass cover with the characteristics of [Forbidden Demon], and Langli Baitiao's eyes were firmer than ever.
He took out the crossbow in his hand, aimed it directly at the demon in front of him, and said loudly: "Madam, I'm warning you, if you get close to me again, you will be in self-defense."
"Wait."
"Shua——"
The next moment, the vampire player jumped into the air, flying at high speed in mid-air, and passed through the corridors of hell in just a few seconds.
The demon of desire was left standing there, at a loss, and even the long chestnut hair was blown up by the wind created by the white stripes in the waves.
"Damn mortals! It's so incomprehensible and incomprehensible!"
Eunice stroked her hair and couldn't help mumbling to herself. As a sex demon, she had never felt so frustrated!
But soon, she calmed down, put on her charming smile again, and quietly waited for the arrival of the next "prey".
Arriving at the hall of Hell Exchange, Langli Baitiao was dazzled by the various counters.
The demons put out all kinds of goods, some had mountains of gold and silver piled up in front of the counters, some had fine wine and delicacies on display, and some had all kinds of beauties sitting there
"Come and see me"
"Come, guest, as long as you give your insignificant soul, you can get all the wealth in the world."
"My contract is the best. Do you want to have a stunning beauty? This is what all mortal kings pursue"
"Want to have power? I can kill any creature you hate!"
However, Langli Baitiao didn't respond to this and went straight past the gaudy devils to the depths of the Hell Exchange.
"Hmph, you still want to impress me with this little thing?"
He is an experienced player and has experienced the feeling of being a god in a stand-alone holographic game. In his opinion, these false wealth and beauty are not worth mentioning.
——It’s not even as fulfilling as killing a chicken in Ximu Town.
At the end of the Hell Exchange Hall is a bronze door with a ferocious and twisted face on it, and raging hellfire spurting out from the eyes, mouth and nose.
This scene was enough to scare mortals, but it made Langli Baitiao's eyes brighten. He compared the image in his hand and said excitedly: "This is it, the secret chamber of the great devil Bayer, the former Lord of Avernus. ”
"Come in, guest from afar."
However, the expected and frightening sound did not come from inside the bronze door, instead there was a rather magnetic whisper.
Along with the dull roar, the twisted face at the door opened its mouth, and the door slowly opened.
Langli Baitiao walked in quickly, and the sight he saw was beyond his expectation.
This room is far more spacious than it looks, and the interior is ornately decorated, making it look splendid and magnificent, except for the occasional cruel and weird details in the murals.
——For example, on the dinner plate at the banquet, there are bloody human limbs, and the ladies attending the banquet are still laughing and chatting and eating happily.
"I didn't expect that the essence of a vampire, the blood of a dragon, and the power of a certain law could all appear in one person at the same time."
"I have to say, you did pique my interest."
It was that familiar voice again. Langli Baitiao looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in luxurious robes standing at the end of the hall with his back to him.
When the man turned around, he saw not the terrifying appearance of a devil as he had imagined, but an exceptionally handsome face that made people feel refreshed.
——This is the incarnation of Bayer staying in the empire.
Langli Baitiao walked forward without hesitation and said cheerfully: "You are Mr. Bayer, right? Where is the contract? I am ready to sacrifice my soul."
At this moment, even the well-informed devil was a little stunned. He had bewitched countless mortals for thousands of years, but he had never seen one take the initiative to sacrifice his soul. The words he prepared were of no use at all.
"As you wish, mortal."
However, after hesitating for a moment, he still reached out his hand, and a piece of parchment stained with blood and engraved with hell runes appeared in front of Langli Baitiao. Langli Baitiao stared at the panel with a happy face, but also a little confused: "This seems to be different from the one in the guide?"
"What is the strategy?"
Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind Langli Baitiao, which immediately made him feel a little worried.
"Also, you don't seem to be browsing my contract. Can I know what you are looking at?"
Bayer pressed forward step by step. Although he looked like just a human noble, he felt extremely oppressive.
Langli Baitiao turned his head and looked at the devil. His heart suddenly became a little frightened. What did Erezegai's officials do? Could it be that there was an omnic crisis?
He pretended to be calm and said casually: "No, Lord Bayer, I think you have misunderstood.
Well, I'm just a mortal who is willing to give up his soul in order to gain power. ”
"Haha, is that so?"
Bayer did not continue to ask, just smiled and nodded.
Langli Baitiao looked around and found that there was nothing unusual about the devil, then he cautiously raised his head and peeked at his panel.
[You obtain the advanced career path: [Contract Warlock-Devil Master]]
[You will make a pact with a great devil from hell. This type of existence desires to corrupt everything in the world and obtain endless souls. ]
[The devil who signs a contract with you will become your suzerain and give you power. ]
“Looks awesome.”
Looking at the intense description, Langli Baitiao just hesitated for a moment and then pressed [Confirm] directly.
Suddenly, the hell contract suddenly lit up, the hell fire burned blazingly, and the whispers of the petitioners echoed in the room.
Langli Baitiao levitated out of thin air, like a sinner hanging on the gallows, and countless evil and depraved powers poured into his already somewhat corrupt body.
After Langli Baitiao happily left after signing the contract of prostitution, Bayer looked at the slowly closing door, his eyes instantly became a little gloomy, like a devouring abyss.
"It's like this again, chaotic consciousness, spiritual existence like a castle in the air, a soul that even I can't detect"
"Haha, no wonder the emperor missed those details. It turned out to be a trap deliberately set.
It seems that I am indeed a little arrogant, and I subconsciously mistook Emperor Burning Ember for those mindless red dragons in hell. ”
Bayer paced back and forth in the hall, with a ferocious sneer on his handsome face, and the veins on his forehead popped out, almost showing the posture of a devil.
"In the information I received, these special beings are called 'Starfallers' by the Empire. It is said that they are alien beings brought by meteors. Ha, it is more appropriate to call them 'Soulless Ones'.
Their souls cannot be sensed, and they cannot be corrupted and absorbed by hell. It must be said that the emperor is really good at business without money. Compared with the dragon, he is more suitable to be a devil in hell. ”
Bayer sat on the sofa, picked up the goblet on the table, and lazily crossed his legs, his dark pupils showing strong interest again.
"As far as I know, these soulless beings are immortal. Even if they are killed, they will be resurrected quickly without changing at all. To make a group of millions of people immortal - not even the gods can do this A little.
This reminds me of the demons in the abyss, but the low-level demons are completely incomparable to them.
In this case, the soulless ones have almost no scruples and no pressure to survive. They are not like mortal beings struggling to survive at all, but more like they are playing a costless game. ”
"However, according to my observation, these soulless people are not loyal to the emperor, but are just bound by the order of the empire."
The devil shook the glass, letting the blood-red wine cover the wall of the glass, and the image of the white stripes in the waves appeared in it.
Maybe this guy will be a good breakthrough.
On the top of Dragon Blood Mountain, a red dragon with a body length of more than fifty meters was lying on a flat rock. Its undulating back was like a mountain range, and there was thick white smoke lingering around it.
Along with the crisp mechanical sound, the magic communication device was activated, and Trump's image appeared on the top of the mountain.
"Master, more than 300 players have signed contracts with the devil. We are monitoring them closely and will report to you immediately if there are any abnormalities."
"Very good, but there are some things that you can't discover just by yourself."
"Master, what do you mean"
Cassius slowly opened his eyes and shook his head. The pale golden pupils also reflected the image of the white stripes in the waves.
"Tsk, tsk, as expected of the former Lord of Avernus, he discovered the clues so quickly, and even took the opportunity to lay a trap to influence the players.
Bayer, it seems that you are also very interested in this special group of players. ”
The red dragon grinned, revealing a mouth full of sharp fangs, and a ferocious smile appeared on the dragon's face, which was several meters wide.
Devils have always been arrogant and consider themselves smart. They often think that they can play tricks on all living creatures, and Bayer is no exception.
Cassius had predicted that Bayer would find himself a "white wolf", but he also predicted another point.
——This devil will show great interest in the player. Even if he loses his own power, he will explore the player's secrets, which is obviously impossible to achieve results.
It's understandable that Bayer has a keen interest in players.
After all, the reason why he was replaced by Asmodeus was that he did not perform well in bloody battles. He was not as crazy and belligerent as Zariel, and players who can be infinitely resurrected are undoubtedly a force with great potential.
Therefore, Cassius chose to use the players as bait to steal the power of hell for his own use, and even indirectly manipulated Avernus through Bair.
"It's just that even the gods of later generations can't find out the secrets. Are you, a mere former Hell Lord who was raped by Asmodeus, qualified to know?"
Cassius's pale golden pupils flashed, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and there was undisguised ridicule on the dragon's face.
"Today is a good day, everything you want can come true——"
Langli Baitiao, wearing a black robe, walked in Ba Tuocheng as if he didn't recognize his relatives, and even sang a happy song.
After getting the best Bayer contract, he was naturally overjoyed and couldn't help but show off in front of his friends.
When he met people, he asked: "How do you know that I have obtained the power of hell? How do you know that I have obtained the contract of the great devil Bayer?"
"Who asked you?"
"Get out! Don't appear in front of me."
Despite being unanimously criticized by his friends, Langli Baitiao still enjoys it and never gets tired of it.
But Lang Baitiao, who was being defeated everywhere, had no idea that he was being watched by two extremely terrifying beings who stood at the top of the material world, and became a pawn in their game. (End of chapter)
