Hearing the noise, Chu He turned his head with difficulty, squinting at the approaching figure.
When Chuhe saw that the person was Moria, he was not afraid at all. Instead, he grinned weakly, revealing two rows of pale teeth.
"Heh...cough cough..." Chu He chuckled dryly a few tis. "Looks like soone rembers us. Hey, you silver-haired handso guy over there, since you're here, did you bring any food? If you don't have a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, a simple stead bun will do."
Compared to Chuhe's manic optimism, Mohen's reaction was much more serious.
He looked down at Moria, who was looking down at them, and said indifferently, "It's not a good thing to be rembered by this gentleman."
Zhou Huai had no intention of arguing with them any further.
He cut to the chase, asking, "You've been here for so long, suffering so much tornt. Have you thought it through? Isn't it ti to submit to ?"
Upon hearing this, Chu He, who had been lying motionless on the ground, suddenly let out a strange, croaking laugh.
"Submit to you? I'm the personnel manager of the Dawn Guild! I'm the one who recruits others, not the other way around?"
"This is utterly upside down!"
On the other side, Mohen, though too weak to even lift his head, still ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) managed to make a faint sound.
"Alright, stop wasting ti. If you're going to kill, then kill. Give us a quick death. Don't use these cat-and-mouse tricks; it makes you look tasteless."
Zhou Huai wasn't too surprised by their answers.
These two are S-class powerhouses, and even more so, fanatical madn; it's normal for them to be stubborn.
only......
"I'm just curious, at this point, what benefits did Mr. Duan give you that made you so willing to risk your lives for him?"
"shut up!"
As soon as Zhou Huai finished speaking, Chu He struggled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, veins bulging on his neck. If he hadn't been restrained by the magic-suppressing chains, he probably would have pounced on him already.
"What do you know?! How could a re mortal like you possibly comprehend Mr. Duan's greatness!"
"Mr. Duan is a god! The only true god who can save this corrupt world! He is the savior! Everything we do is to welco the true dawn! For the arrival of a perfect new world!"
Zhou Huai frowned.
Savior?
It sounds like the Dawn Guild is a complete cult.
Saving the world and creating a new world? That's such an outdated excuse.
He couldn't be bothered to waste any more words on these two guys who were clearly not quite right in the head.
Just then.
"Squeak—"
The heavy iron door of the dungeon was pushed open from the outside, and a dull scraping sound echoed in the empty passage.
A soft ray of light shone in, dispelling the darkness of the dungeon.
A thin, elderly man in a gray robe walked in with his hands behind his back, taking unhurried steps.
It was none other than the Great Sage Li Er.
Zhou Huai's original plan was to have Caesar repeat his old trick, using parasites to control Moria's mind, so that Moria's 【Demon Lord Contract】 could be signed more smoothly.
But now, with Laozi... the thod can beco simpler and more elegant.
Chuhe and Mohen on the ground also sensed that sothing was wrong.
This unremarkable old man emanated no magical energy whatsoever, yet his re presence purified the cold, damp, and nauseating air of the entire dungeon.
A powerful pressure, like a gentle spring breeze and a soft rain, silently enveloped them, more terrifying than the aura of any SS-level expert!
That was a crushing defeat stemming from a fundantal level of life!
"run!"
The thought flashed through their minds simultaneously.
They struggled, using every ounce of their strength, trying to get up from the ground and escape from this place.
However, after more than ten days without a drop of water, their bodies were completely drained, and even lifting a finger was extrely difficult, let alone escaping.
Despair overwheld them.
They could only watch helplessly as the silver-haired demon lord approached step by step.
Moria walked up to the two of them and knelt down.
He stretched out two hands, his long, pale fingers gently pressing them on the tops of Chu He and Mo Hen's heads.
A chill ran through their fingertips, followed by a powerful will that surged into their minds!
【Demon Lord's Contract...】
An ancient contract radiating a faint purple light unfolds in the ntal world of the two.
At the sa ti, Zhou Huai's voice, like a devil's whisper, rang in their ears:
"Give up the resistance. As long as you sign this contract, you can live."
"Don't...don't even think about it!" Chu He gritted his teeth and squeezed out the two words.
He used up his remaining ntal energy to build a fragile water curtain barrier in his sea of consciousness, putting up a final resistance.
Although Mohen didn't speak, his tense body and the soul that was also trembling wildly in the ntal world clearly demonstrated his indomitable will to die rather than submit.
Zhou Huai clearly sensed that although the two were on the verge of death, their souls were exceptionally resilient, and the power of the 【Demon Lord Contract】 could not be forcibly imprinted upon them.
At this mont, the role of the sage Laozi (Li Er) ca into play.
Then, the old man who had been standing to the side opened his eyes.
He looked at the two struggling souls on the ground, parted his lips slightly, and uttered four words.
"Give up resistance."
His voice was ordinary, neither loud nor soft, and even had a gentle quality typical of the elderly.
However, these four words contain the supre law of the universe!
The words fell.
The souls of Chuhe and Mohen, which were still struggling fiercely, ca to an abrupt end!
The two, who were ready to die just a mont ago, completely gave up all resistance at the sa ti.
Their eyes beca empty, and they beca soulless puppets.
The purple 【Demon Lord Contract】 flowed seamlessly into their souls without any hindrance, leaving an indelible mark!
The contract is done!
However, at the very mont the contract was completed.
Zhou Huai suddenly realized that in the heads of these two newly acquired demon slaves, an invisible thread connecting them to an unknown entity snapped with a crack.
The thread was extrely subtle; if the 【Demon Lord Contract】 hadn't just established a deep soul link, Zhou Huai wouldn't have been able to detect its existence at all.
"This is... a backup plan left by Mr. Duan?" Zhou Huai realized sothing.
Before he could think it through,
A loud bang in my head!
A massive, chaotic flow of information poured into Zhou Huai's mind along the broken thread!
Zhou Huai's vision went black, and the whole world began to spin!
The next second, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself no longer in the dark dungeon, but in a brightly lit, luxuriously decorated banquet hall.
The room was filled with well-dressed n and won, who were holding wine glasses and chatting happily. The air was filled with the mixed aroma of expensive perfus and food.
Where is this?
Zhou Huai was stunned. He looked down at himself and found that he was still in Moria's form.
This sudden change caught him sowhat off guard.
Just then, he noticed a gaze.
A highly aggressive gaze fell upon him.
Zhou Huai looked up, following his intuition.
At the other end of the banquet hall, away from the crowd, a refined middle-aged man was holding a glass of red wine, quietly watching him across the vast sea of people.
Their eyes t in mid-air in a bizarre way.
Ti stood still at this mont.
The noisy crowd and lodious music around us beca a silent backdrop.
Zhou Huai's heart began to pound uncontrollably!
He read in the man's eyes a calm and indifferent confidence that he had everything under control.
It's the look of soone at the top of the food chain, eyeing interesting prey.
The strange eye contact lasted only a second.
The middle-aged man suddenly laughed.
His smile was gentle, even tinged with admiration, but to Zhou Huai, it sent a chill down his spine.
"You are really... very interesting."
The man mouthed the words silently.
After speaking, he raised his wine glass in the air towards Zhou Huai, nodded slightly, as if to acknowledge him, but also as to declare war.
He then downed the glass of red wine in one gulp.
The entire image began to distort, like ripples spreading across water, eventually turning into countless points of light and disappearing completely.
...
Zhou Huai snapped out of his daze, his consciousness returning to his body. He was breathing heavily, his forehead covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.
Everything that had just happened was but a fleeting mont in his mind.
But the feeling of being targeted by a venomous snake is so real that he still feels lingering fear.
He stared blankly at the two new demon slaves in the dungeon who had completely passed out, the scene from just now replaying in his mind, as well as the man's last smile and lip movents.
A chilling thought popped into his head uncontrollably.
The man in that video just now...
Could it be Mr. Duan?
