At the front of the team, a player wearing a pitch-black cloak stepped forward and excitedly arrived at the door of the Soul Exchange.

"Finally it's my turn."

The hood of the black robe was pulled back, revealing a face that was so pale that it was completely bloodless. The pupils were blood red, and sharp teeth were faintly visible at the corners of the upturned mouth.

If you look closely, you will find that this player has an exquisite emblem on his chest, with a crossed dagger and violin pattern engraved on its surface.

This is the symbol of Nocturne, the most feared special forces unit composed of vampires in the Burning Empire.

The identity of this player is about to be revealed.

He is the former head of the Nocturne Force, the only high-level vampire in the empire, and a notorious playboy among the player community.

Looking at the slowly opening door carved with a hideous skull, Langli Baitiao couldn't wait to rub his hands, revealing his signature, nasty smile.

He said excitedly: "After signing the contract, I will be the first player to combine the powers of a vampire, a devil, and a trickster!
Then I will go to those abandoned temples to find an evil god to offer a blood sacrifice, and then go to the abyss to get some devil power, and directly raise the Gu in my body.
I am a man who wants to be the king of all evil!"

A strange red light shone through the crack in the door, emitting the smell of infernal gunpowder, but the white shark rushed in without hesitation.

The lustful demon walked out slowly, her black skirt slit high, revealing her slender, white legs. A smile appeared on her bright and beautiful face. She said softly, "Haha, it looks like a new guest has come."

She was about to come closer, but Langli Baitiao stretched out a hand, made a "rejection" gesture, and said righteously: "My lady, I know you are coveting my beauty, but please don't come near me!"

Even the Devil was stunned, with a look of astonishment on her beautiful face. She opened her red lips slightly and said, "What are you doing..."

However, Langli Baitiao just grinned and sneered: "Heh, is this the lust demon in the strategy?"

"As expected of a girl called the gentle paradise of hell, she is indeed very beautiful, but this cannot shake my iron will!"

The white shark flew directly into the air, his cloak fluttering behind him, and his voice became more sonorous and powerful: "So-called beauty, in the end, is nothing but a handful of yellow earth."

He raised his right fist high, "Only strength is the true meaning of everything!"

"Haha, my guest, I am your guide," Eunice said in a tender voice, looking at the white shark in the waves with seductive eyes as she walked forward.

A faint fragrance wafts towards you, and an enchanting red light appears in those watery eyes.

The succubus is very confident that no mortal can resist her temptation. Even those with the strongest minds will kneel and sink under her skirt.

However, Langli Baitiao was well prepared. He smiled brightly and put on a gas mask.

The faint fragrance was blocked by the filter, the charming eyes were blocked by the glass cover with the [Magic Forbidden] property, and the eyes of the white-skinned man were more determined than ever before.

He took out the crossbow in his hand, aimed it directly at the demon in front of him, and said loudly: "Madam, I warn you, if you come close to me again, I will have to use self-defense."

"etc."

"Shh-"

The next moment, the vampire player took off into the air, flying at a high speed in mid-air, and passed through the Corridor of Hell in just a few seconds.

Only the lust demon was left standing there, at a loss, with even his long chestnut hair blown up by the wind created by the white shark in the waves.

"Damn mortals! They are totally unreasonable and incomprehensible!"

Eunice stroked her hair and couldn't help muttering to herself. As a lustful demon, she had never felt so frustrated!

But soon, she calmed down, put on that charming smile again, and waited quietly for the arrival of the next "prey".

When he arrived at the hall of the Hell Exchange, he was dazzled by the various counters.

The demons displayed all kinds of merchandise. Some counters had mountains of gold and silver, some displayed fine wine and delicacies, and some had beautiful women sitting on them.
“Come and see me.”

"Come, guest, as long as you offer your insignificant soul, you can get all the wealth in the world."

"My contract is the best. Do you want to own a stunning beauty? This is what all mortal kings pursue."

"Want to have power? I can kill all the creatures you hate!"

However, Langli Baitiao had no reaction to this. He walked straight past the flashy devils and came to the depths of the Hell Exchange.

"Huh, you still want to impress me with this little thing?"

He is a veteran player who has experienced what it's like to be a god in a single-player holographic game. To him, these false wealth and beauties are nothing.

——It's not even as fulfilling as killing a chicken in Creekwood.

At the end of the Hell Exchange Hall is a bronze door with a hideous and distorted face on it, with raging hellfire spewing out from its eyes, mouth and nose.

This scene, which was enough to terrify ordinary people, made Langli Baitiao's eyes light up. He compared the image in his hand and said excitedly, "This is it. The secret room of the former Lord of Avernus - the great devil Bayer."

"Come in, you guest from afar."

The expected, frightening voice did not come from inside the bronze door, but instead there was a quite magnetic whisper.

Along with a dull roar, the distorted face at the door opened its mouth and the door slowly opened.

The white shark walked in quickly, but the scene that came into his eyes was beyond his expectations.

The room was much more spacious than it appeared, and its interior was ornately decorated, resplendent and magnificent, except for the occasional cruel and bizarre details in the murals.

- For example, bloody human body parts were placed on the plates at the banquet, while the ladies attending the banquet were still laughing and talking, feasting on the food.

"I didn't expect that the essence of a vampire, the blood of a dragon, and the power of a certain law could appear in one person at the same time."

"I have to say, you have indeed aroused 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 with his back to him at the end of the hall.

The man turned around, not looking like the horrible devil as imagined, but a very handsome face that made people feel warm and refreshed.

——This is the incarnation of Bayer that remained in the Empire.

Langli Baitiao walked forward without hesitation and said cheerfully: "You must be Lord Bayer, 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 over thousands of years, but he had never seen anyone voluntarily offer their souls. The prepared speeches were of no use at all.

"As you wish, mortal."

But after hesitating for a moment, he still stretched out his hand, and a bloodstained parchment engraved with hell runes appeared in front of Langli Baitiao. Langli Baitiao stared at the panel with a happy expression on his face, but also a little confused: "This seems to be different from the guide?"

"What is the strategy?"

Suddenly, a man's voice came from behind the white shark in the waves, which made him feel terrified.

"Also, you don't seem to be looking at my contract. Can I know what you are looking at?"

Bayer pressed forward step by step, and even though he looked like just a human noble, he was extremely oppressive.

Langli Baitiao turned around and looked at the devil, feeling a little scared. What was going on with the officials of Erezega? Was they encountering an intelligent robot crisis?
He pretended to be calm and said casually, "No, Lord Bayer, I think you misunderstood.

Well, I'm just a mortal who gave up his soul for power."

"Haha, so that's how it is?"

Bayer did not ask further questions, but just smiled and nodded.

The white shark looked around and found that the devil was no longer abnormal. Then he carefully raised his head and glanced at his panel.

[You obtain the advanced career path: [Warlock-Devil Lord]]
[You will make a contract with a great devil from hell. This kind of being desires to corrupt everything in the world and gain endless souls.]
[The devil you sign a contract with will become your master and grant you power.]
“It looks awesome.”

Looking at the description full of intensity, Langli Baitiao hesitated for a moment and then directly pressed [Confirm].

Suddenly, the Hell Contract lit up, the Hellfire burned fiercely, and the whispers of the petitioners echoed in the room.

The white shark was suspended in the air, like a criminal hanging on the gallows, and countless evil and corrupt forces poured into his already corrupt body.

After the wanderer signed the contract to sell himself and left happily, Bayer looked at the slowly closing door, his eyes suddenly became gloomy, like a man-eating abyss.

"It's like this again, a confused consciousness, a 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 deliberate trap.

It seems that I was a little too conceited, and I subconsciously mistook the Burning Emperor for one of those brainless red dragons in hell."

Bayer paced back and forth in the hall, a hideous sneer on his handsome face, veins bulging on his forehead, and he almost looked like a devil.

"According to the intelligence I received, these special beings are called 'Starfallers' by the Imperials. They are said to be alien beings brought by meteors. Haha, it would be more appropriate to call them 'Soulless Ones'.

Their souls cannot be sensed, nor can they be corrupted or absorbed by hell. I have to say that the emperor is really good at making a profit. Compared to a dragon, he is more suitable to be a devil in hell."

Bayer sat on the sofa, picked up the wine glass on the table, and crossed his legs lazily, his dark pupils revealing a strong interest.

"From what I know, these soulless beings are immortal. Even if they are killed, they will be resurrected quickly and remain unchanged. To make a group of millions of people immortal - not even the gods can do this.

This reminds me of the demons in the abyss, but low-level demons are no match for them.

In this situation, the soulless ones have almost no scruples, no pressure to survive, and they are not like ordinary creatures struggling to survive. Instead, they are more like playing a game with no cost. "

"However, according to my observation, this group of soulless people are not loyal to the emperor. They are just bound by the order of the empire."

The devil shook the wine glass, letting the blood-red wine cover the walls of the glass, and the image of the white shark 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 50 meters was coiled on the flat rock. Its undulating back was like a mountain range, and thick white smoke was lingering around it.

With a clear 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 closely monitoring them and will report to you immediately if there is any abnormality."

"Very good, but there are some things you can't discover on your own."

"Master, what do you mean?"

Cassius slowly opened his eyes and shook his head, and the image of the white shark in the waves was also reflected in his light golden pupils.

“Tsk tsk, he is worthy of being the former Lord of Avernus. He discovered the clues so quickly and took the opportunity to lay down hidden pieces in order to influence the players.

Bayer, it seems that you are also very interested in this special group of players."

The red dragon opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. A ferocious smile appeared on the dragon face that was several meters wide.

Demons have always been arrogant and self-righteous, often thinking they can fool all creatures, and Bayer is no exception.

Cassius had anticipated that Bayer would discover that he had gotten something for nothing, but he also predicted another point.

——This devil will show great interest in the player. Even if it costs him his own strength, he will still try to find out the player's secrets, which is obviously impossible to achieve any results.

It’s understandable that Bayer has a keen interest in gamers.

After all, the reason why he was replaced by Asmodeus was because he performed poorly in the bloody battle. He was not as crazy and warlike as Zariel. Players who can be resurrected infinitely are undoubtedly a force with great potential.

Therefore, Cassius chose to play along, using the players as bait, taking the opportunity to steal the power of Hell for his own use, and even indirectly manipulate Avernus through Bayer.

"However, even the gods of later generations could not figure out this secret. Are you, a mere former lord of Hell who was sacked by Asmodeus, qualified to know it?"

Cassius's pale golden pupils flickered, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his dragon face revealed undisguised sarcasm.

"Today is a good day. Everything you wish for can come true—"

The white shark in the waves was wearing a black robe and walking in Batocheng with a step that didn't recognize any relatives, and even singing a cheerful song.

Having obtained the best Bayer Contract, he was naturally overjoyed and couldn't help but show off in front of his friends.

He asked everyone he met: "How do you know that I have obtained the power of hell? How do you know that I got the contract of the great devil Bayer?"

"Who asked you?"

"Get lost! Don't show up in front of me."

Despite being unanimously criticized by his friends, Langli Baitiao still enjoys it and never gets tired of it.

But the white-haired wretch who was showing off everywhere had no idea that he was being watched by two extremely terrifying beings who stood at the top of the material world, and had become a pawn in their game. (End of this chapter)
