[At present, a new high-risk epidemic infectious disease has been discovered in southern Mexico, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has set up a quarantine area in the local area, completely prohibiting the entry and exit of people who may carry germs. Our customs have now banned flights to Mexico, and it is said that a large number of troops have already gone to the border blockade to prevent the invasion of the epidemic. Here are the experts in epidemiological research, from ......]

In the news, the camera pans over heavily armed troops.

Mandus turned off the TV and pondered for a moment.

"Do we have a plan for that?"

"No, Your Majesty."

The well-dressed young demon stood at his desk and bowed respectfully.

"Who are our people, who are the ones who are active in Mexico?"

His subordinates reported the names of four or five high-ranking demons.

"No, they don't have the ability and guts to do this level of destruction." Mandus snapped his fingers a few times, "It's not going to be those old guys, who respect the old treaties more than I do." The demon cannot interfere too much in the affairs of the mortal realm unless it is already confident that it can destroy a qiē opponent...... For now, only I have the power to destroy the resistance that dares to show up. ”

"Maybe it's some young radical." The subordinates in formal attire maintained a ninety-degree bow, "Influenced by human culture, young demons are always trying to grab more power, even at the cost of transgressing the traditional legal system. A successful large-scale blood sacrifice is enough for a low-level demon to be elevated to the rank of a famous and surnamed Great Demon, and the productivity of modern society has filled this world with fallen souls......"

"Hmm...... It is the nature of our people to pursue great power by any means. What is your name? ”

Few new demons could maintain their proper posture in front of Mandus, and the Demon King set his attention on this young and ambitious mid-rank demon. He has the appearance of an East Asian man, although his magic is not strong. But it's pure.

"Shuji Tsushima, Your Majesty."

"I needed someone to take over Bob's job. Next. You take over the network monitoring system temporarily. ”

"The subordinates are grateful. In addition, there is one more thing that the subordinates want to report. ”

"Say it, Shuji Tsushima." Mandus waved his hand in amusement.

"Following His Majesty's will, his subordinates have been investigating the destruction of His Majesty's human property by Dante, the son of the previous rebellion, and we have found some suspicious problems in it. The on-site investigation team found a number of ...... in Mr. Bob's remaining traces Not quite like a trace of its own power. The Restoration Group believes that before it dies, a ...... An external force invaded its demonic essence and forcibly twisted him into another, more primitive demonic form. And this external force, I consulted the ancient texts of my people. There is hardly a demon, or artifact, that fits its characteristics. This is either some undocumented hidden characteristic of the Navrin lineage, or a newly born ...... A very dangerous artifact. ”

"I don't care how he died." Mandus turned, "But if this is some 'artifact', then I'm going to get it." Do you hear that? Boy, go find, find it, and I'll give you more strength than Bob, and more honorable status. You can be the head of any country in the world. To get a place in hell below me alone - that's how we do things, with a clear price, a reward and a punishment, and stronger, better people standing on it. ”

"Do as you will."

――――――

Su Jing returned to London on a civil airliner before the outbreak of the epidemic. When Lazarus found him, he was sitting on a chair, staring at the twelve colored third-order Rubik's cubes on the table with Lu Mengyao.

"Thirty-one seconds three." Su Jing put her hands behind her head.

"Thirty-three seconds six." The magician raised his palm. "Your fingers are longer than mine, so my precise movements are a line slower than yours. If you substitute time into this factor. I'm half a second faster than you. ”

"Concession." Su Jing said happily.

“…… What are they doing? Old Ancestor hesitated for a moment, then turned around and asked Su Luo, who was standing upside down in the corner. The girl used her left thumb to prop her body on the ground, and closed her eyes as if in a meditative state.

"Play 'Twelve-fold Speed Brain Third-Order Rubik's Cube Speed Twist'. By the way, my highest record was 29.3 seconds. Xiaoqi's cheat record with the help of the plugin is 0.01 second. So just a pastime game for these two boring people. ”

Su Luo, who seemed to be meditating, turned over and landed lightly. She glanced at Old Ancestor's leather coat, then at his earlobe, and looked up and down a few times.

"Looks like you're a connoisseur too." Lazarus smiled, and Su Luo's eyes turned to the reserve area of all the high-level treasures on his body. Professional adventurers don't put really important items in the inventory of character cards, because in high-level battles, it takes a few tenths of a second to call up items to be enough to be killed by an opponent five or six times.

Not only the pure Jun pot in the inner pocket of his coat, but also the immortal sword hidden in his eyeballs, the dragon skin gloves inlaid with several high-grade gems, and the Xingsha earrings that looked like just ordinary studs, were all treasures of the Oriental Immortal Dao system that were enough for silver-level adventurers to compete for. Although the rare treasures of the Immortal Dao system cannot be used without the corresponding sacrificial techniques, even if they are sold, they can be sold for hundreds of thousands of universal points or more.

"Being too ordinary is suspicious in itself." The girl wiped the sweat from her body with a towel, "If you have something, just talk to your brother." I'm going to take a shower. ”

“…… I'm not the kind of person who has a lot of tongues. "Lazarus. The dragon suddenly said, "I have studied your deeds, and you have no intention of hiding your identity at all. So at first glance I recognized your identity, and I have to say, it was quite unexpected. ”

"What are you trying to express?"

"I'm just trying to make it clear that I don't want to be silenced for recognizing you. I've lived a long time, but I don't want to be killed for such ridiculous reasons. Lazarus nodded to her and walked towards Su Jing and Lu Mengyao, who had started the second round of competition.

"The offer reached 30 billion so quickly?" Su Jing spun the black ring on her finger around and fell into deep thought, "I remember if that rat went to explore Lilith's bar?" ”

"Nothing out of the ordinary. She is pregnant with the son of Mandus, and the gestation period of demons is uncertain, usually the stronger the bloodline, the longer the gestation period of the demon. James thinks she may be needing to eat a lot because of the baby's needs...... Eat some people or something. And the previous action was just a coincidence of time. Lazarus swept the Rubik's Cube and placed several photographs on the table, which looked like they had been taken from the ceiling, while Lilith was dissecting the bloody remains of a human body, stacking thick pieces of meat on a dinner plate.

"Her recipes are really broad-flavoured." Su Jing flipped through a few photos, "From the perspective of anatomy, these human bodies all have some kind of Cheng dù...... Slight variation. ”

"Demons." Lazarus summed it up succinctly, "I have carefully investigated the demonic social makeup of this world. Basically, as in the rest of the Christian world, demons lurk in the dark corners of human society - except for Mandus. It is the strongest demon of hell in 9,000 years and the greatest transformation of demon society. It has been recognized by Hell and has infinite power, and it has invaded the human realm openly. ”

"It's funny that our Miss Angel got the news from that half-blood kid that Mandus's endless power comes from his gates of hell. As long as he could close this door, his immortality from Hell itself would disappear. Su Jing cocked his fingers, "And only the two swords of Sparta, Rebel or Enma, can close this door." ”

"Sounds like a bloodline limit." Lu Mengyao pursed her lips, "The demon Sparta of this world, the father of Dante and Virgil, is the brother of Mandus. Only the artifact he left behind can close the gates of hell, and it sounds like it has something to do with this bloodline. ”

"It doesn't matter, Virgil has been fascinated by Sadako. I think it may be a mother-lover mentality that he didn't even realize himself, and Sadako's appearance as an angel just fills the lack of his self-identity...... The next question is the global demon advent event that appeared in the original game after we cut off the gates of hell......"

In the game, in order to defeat the Demon King, Virgil and Dante infiltrate his office and use Virgil's Enma Knife to destroy the passage between Earth and Hell. Although the two succeeded in defeating Mandus, the consequence of the complete separation of the two worlds was the complete collapse of the border of hell as a buffer, in which a large number of demons appeared directly in reality, causing a global riot.

"That's exactly what we need. There is no more effective way to promote demonic beliefs than a global 'miracle'. After annihilating Mandus and his henchmen, our second step is to globalize demonic beliefs. ”

"Mandus' corporate acquisition meeting is scheduled for this Saturday, with two days to go. Our mass brainwashing apparatus is not yet fully prepared. If you give us another half a month......" Su Jing frowned.

"There are many dreams at night, I can't wait any longer." Lazarus made a gesture resolutely, "Even if it's not ready, it can only be hard." Time waits for no one, so let's wait until later. ”

Su Jing and Lu Mengyao glanced at each other and nodded.

――――――

Lilith's nightclub.

The mistress of the Demon King fell motionless to the ground, the ugly human skin used for decoration hanging loosely from her bones. There was a horrible wound in her stomach, as if something had bitten through the path straight through it.

Elysium, which is always overcrowded day and night, is dead dead at the moment, and the corpses of the dead are everywhere. In the center of the stage, a thin black shadow lifted its sharp teeth from the corpse of the dancing girl, still hungry after eating hundreds of human and demon souls.

This hunger is like the flames of hell, which never ends. (To be continued......)
