09 Prologue
09:
Inside one of Macau's top casinos.
"Get out of here!"
The dealer's words were completely swallowed up by the cacophony of chatter.
Just after midnight, the entire casino lobby was in a frenzy. All eyes were on a green table. A young guest, in this game of shaker cup size, has won twenty in a row. Chips of large denominations are piled up like a hill, which makes people envious.
The dealer's hands were a little wet. He pressed the spring button lightly, and the dice cup shook.
Uncover the cup, and two dice fall quietly there, two twos, four small!
The audience thundered.
The young guest won again, and this time, the chips in front of him were already piled up to 100 million.
The dealer announced the result with a blank face, but his heart was extremely shocked. He is the chief dealer of the hall, and it stands to reason that he does not need to deal the cards himself. But when the headset prompted that this guy who looked like he was 20 years old at most had VVIP permissions, he was curious to take care of the business himself.
The dice cup is fine, and the air pressure used for power is adjusted every 12 hours, which is really fair. The guests must be no problem, VVIP represents large customers with a mortgage of more than 100 million US dollars, each of which has a shocking background, and will not cheat for this 100 million yuan.
What's more, the guest in front of him chose the simplest game, guessing the size of the dice cup. Under the watchful eye of modern technology, the game is just a gamble of pure luck, big or small, nothing more.
"Tonight, so be it. I still have things to do. The young guest stood up and straightened his diamond-encrusted bow.
"I took the principal, and the rest will be distributed to you!" The young man pinched the 1 million principal he had brought, and said to others in a very chic manner.
"Oh! ~”
The crowd at the table was boiling again. Not only did they see a rare winning streak tonight, but they didn't expect luck to befall them as well. The thoughtful guy immediately made a mental calculation, everyone can get a million, is this a pie falling from the sky?
It will only be the casino that will hurt the flesh.
In the monitoring room, the manager on duty had already grasped the phone, hesitating whether to notify the big boss behind the scenes. However, he moved his gaze over the monitor, saw the customer profile, and put down the phone.
With such an astonishing background, the gamble of 100 million yuan is indeed just a game for him.
After leaving the hall, the young man walked straight to the elevator. The presidential suite on the top floor of this casino has long been ready for him. Originally, he was just waiting for someone, but in order to pass the leisure time, he left a legend in the lobby of the casino for a night.
It's just a pity, ahem. I can't bed tonight.
A beautiful greeter, dressed in a slim uniform and black stockings, will personally open the door to the suite, and when he enters, he will bend down and respectfully close the door.
That's how VVIP is treated.
As soon as I entered the extra-spacious living room, another figure was already seated. It seems that the invincible night view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows attracts the attention of visitors.
"I'm sorry, Alex, I just played two more games when my hands were hot." The young man walked over to the wine cabinet, glanced at the contents of the cabinet, and sighed.
These hotel guys don't have good taste.
"Come, I'll have a drink and apologize." The young man handed the crystal wine glass.
"Ah, Rothschild boy, Benjamin, this is the first time I've heard you apologize." The lazy-eyed charming woman on the sofa took the wine glass.
Young Benjamin walked to the window, raised his head, his head full of golden broken hair flicked, learned the posture of those Chinese, and drank it all.
"You're such a freak, you don't downgrade Pearl, but use China's God of Wealth. Do you know what that thing does to men...... Harm, right? Unlike Benjamin, the charm woman, who gradually took a sip, deliberately set her eyes on Benjamin's lower body.
Perl Fusaine, the wife of Hades, is also the goddess of harvest and wealth.
"To use the Chinese idiom, different paths lead to the same end?" Benjamin's pale blue eyes blinked slightly, "What's more, the effect of the goddess of Perl Fusai is long-term, and in a short period of time, the effect of China's god of wealth is better, at least, it suits me." ”
Looking at the middle-aged woman in front of him with a graceful posture and still charming, after sipping her small half glass of wine, Benjamin prompted, "Let's get to the point, you flew from the United States to the entire Pacific Ocean, and it must not be for this glass of wine." ”
Alex kicked a briefcase from the couch with her bare jade legs. Benjamin opened it and placed the only document in his bag on the coffee table in front of the couch.
In the dim light, there are terrifying pictures.
In a conference room, there were countless stumps and severed arms. The original gray carpet was stained red with blood, and the expression of a well-preserved head in the corner of the room was a fear felt from the depths of the soul.
"Bloodline?" This was Benjamin's first reaction when he first saw the photo. But he quickly reversed that reaction on his own, "No, those vampire bats don't toss around like that." The destruction of corpses, in their minds, is the destruction of food containers, which is disrespectful. ”
"Let's take a closer look." Alex didn't say much, but she believed in the abilities of this proud man.
"This ......" Finally, Benjamin changed color.
He noticed a detail, among all the remaining corpses, the heart had been hollowed out. It was as if these dead people had their hearts taken away first, and then suffered from the dismemberment of their bodies.
Take away the source of life and inflict a painful punishment. How ruthless and ...... this is Atrocious?
In his sea of memories, Benjamin searched for only one piece of information that matched. This was the case with a ritual in the Phoenician era. In some people's beliefs, the old era can be completely destroyed in order to usher in the new era. The removal of the heart is not a complete death, but a prelude to regeneration.
"Demons." Benjamin muttered the word.
"Not just demons, to be exact, this is Astaroth, one of the Seven Demon Kings, representing the Phoenician witch of anger and destruction." Alex gave the answer.
Historically, Aslarot was originally the goddess of the moon who controlled the order, but later she was willing to become a female demon king who likes blood and evil, representing anger and destruction. It is said that her anger can make mountains burn, make the sea boil, and make human beings kill themselves out of fear. When she was killed by the goddess**, the Phoenician city of Bybros, which she had guarded, was ruthlessly destroyed by her, leaving nothing but scorched earth. It is precisely because of this that she won a place in hell and became one of the Seven Demon Kings.
"But that kind of terrifying existence, that kind of earth-destroying existence, the movement can't just be a massacre in the conference room, right?" Benjamin voiced his doubts.
"This is the beginning, the precursor to the awakening of the Demon King. At first, we thought it was just the work of a follower of Astaroth, but we traced all kinds of traces all the way to China," Alex said solemnly, "Some people think that they want to descend on her, a demon king in this hell." ”
"Why did you tell me first? This kind of thing, especially in China, should be the first to tell those old guys in the academy, right? ”
"Oh, the little master of the Rothschild family, why is he discouraged at this time? Isn't it good to have more faith? Anyway, you're the best séance of this generation. ”
Séances have been traders hiding behind history since ancient times. The treacherous historical trend is often in the hands of these mysterious and powerful people. They can let the god of war descend and slaughter all directions on the battlefield, or they can let the god of wealth possess their bodies and gather endless treasures. The ten thousand gods in heaven and earth make them omnipotent.
Benjamin. Rothschild was also one of the séances. At the age of 20, he already has the proud experience of successfully descending on the five gods. He had always been an unruly representative of the family, and he abandoned other séance academies in the West and came to China to study at the Purple Mountain Buddhist Academy. At this time, he had just entered his sophomore year and was the president of the student body of the college.
However, in the face of the supreme existence of one of the Seven Demon Kings, Benjamin no longer has the confidence he had before at the table.
"Hehe, this is a high hat with a heavy responsibility."
Benjamin closed his eyes. The night was still long, and he couldn't do anything else, so there was plenty of time for him to think about it.
The appearance of the originally peaceful world is about to be broken. And the war between gods and demons, which has lasted for thousands of years, why is it starting at this moment?
