    Crimson Federation, Razor City.  Former pearls of the North -South Sky Dashe Pass, the endless teams and pedestrians have been extinct.  Looking from a distance, the city under the setting sun gives people a suffocating coldness, as if something is slowly waking up as the sun sets.  When the remaining light disappeared, the city residents floated out of their tombs like ghosts.  A man carefully opened the door of his home as if opening a tomb door, stuck his head out, and shrank his neck in fear of the deep darkness outside the door.  He muttered something, took out a white ceramic mask, placed it on his face, and then covered it with black gauze from head to toe.  As if recognized by the darkness, he was no longer afraid and walked out the door holding a bull's-eye lantern.  One, two, a hundred, and countless residents dressed in the same lifeless clothes meet on the street. The black gauze and shadows merge into one, leaving only the pale and cold masks, like the faces of the dead in the Styx, moving slowly.  The largest rock pillar in Razor City, the original city hall has been transformed into a temple.  In the deep hall, strange patterns that appear and disappear are painted, ethereal and twisted.  At first glance, one would think that this is a religious gathering that worships darkness and night, but there is a giant flame in the center of the hall, burning silently.  The pale light hit the pillars and screens, casting countless shadows.  Yes, shadow is worshiped here, not darkness.  Citizens wearing white masks entered the shadows, knelt down and prayed.  On the altar in the center, a tall man walked slowly up. He was once the governor of Razor City, but now he has a different way of ruling his city.  The man under the mask chanted hoarsely: "Only respect the shadows!" "Only respect the shadows!" Unseen believers responded from the shadows.  A white porcelain mask appeared out of thin air in mid-air, and its empty eyes made people shudder.  The Archon said with some fanaticism: "The Lord of Shadows, the enemy of Light. All things will eventually wither, and only the shadows will rule the earth. Believers. What should we do to the ignorant people who refuse to convert to the way of shadows!" "  Give to the shadows!¡± The fanatic cry made the torch tremble.  The whole hall was filled with dancing lights and shadows.  "Bring it up." A man was tied up and pressed up, still cursing angrily: "Crazy! Madman! I am an envoy of the Crimson Parliament. Is Razor City going to break with the entire Crimson Federation?" He saw the altar.  The man above can be recognized by his appearance.  "Consul Kurt, is that you? I'm here on behalf of the Star View Tower and the Black Gold Bay. You can't do this to me!" The man chuckled a few times, "Those dwarves who regard wealth as their lives will soon be overwhelmed.  Dark, and the Star View Tower thinks it can peek into the future of the Fool. All it can see are shadows Hehehe" A wall in the hall was opened, and there was bottomless darkness outside, with a ropeway connecting to the distance.  The rail carriage originally used for transportation became a sacrificial vessel. The envoy was untied and thrown into the carriage. The consul handed him a short candle and a fire sickle, "Take the rest of your life." The envoy was in vain.  The glass door of the carriage was slapped, the ropeway was pulled, and the carriage was swaying towards the darkness.  It feels like flying into the endless void or the deep seabed.  Except for a little firelight from where it came from, the surrounding darkness was as thick as ink.  A biting coldness crawled up my spine, like a wet snake crawling on my skin.     boom!  The carriage was hit by something unknown, and the messenger's hands and feet suddenly became limp.  You know he is hanging thousands of Sammies in the air!  Trembling, he took out the fire sickle and lit the candle.  The dim candlelight flickered on, and he looked up.  A stiff face outside the glass window was looking at him, the face was long and pointed.  The eyes are empty.  "Ah!" The candle was extinguished in panic, and darkness returned to the eyes.  The envoy felt even more terrifying.  The face was only an arm's length away.     boom.  The gentle tapping sound made the envoy's hair stand on end and his teeth chattered.  He could feel the thing lying on the carriage moving slowly, step by step.  The envoy huddled in a corner of the carriage, and suddenly, snap!  The car behind was slapping and vibrating.  He jumped up and frantically groped for the candle, trembling violently and lighting it several times.  Light shot out, and a giant claw on the glass retracted into the darkness.  The only sounds in the small space were breathing, heartbeat, and the beeping and puffing of candles.  The candle burned shorter and shorter, and he suddenly understood what the Archon said: Take advantage of the rest of your life.  The envoy stared at the flames with extreme nervousness. Soon, the flames jumped and went out completely.  Darkness came and Envoy could feel "it" looking at him, a crawling sound approaching, from one side to the other, and then a rattling sound.  "It" opened the door This was his last thought before fear overwhelmed him.  ¡­ The Archon pulled back the empty carriage, showed it to the believers, and shouted loudly: "This is a sign of the shadow!" The believers shouted back, turning fear into frenzy.?.  They kept bowing to the white porcelain mask in mid-air that symbolized the shadow's will. When black cracks appeared on the mask, they thought it was the shadow responding to the call.  Then, the mask disappeared into ashes, some kind of power protecting the sacrificial hall was disintegrated, the ceiling was eroded by black flames, and something came.  Dramatic changes occurred, but no one escaped. A will far beyond that of mortals shocked the body, making it impossible to move, speak, or think.  A figure descended from the black fire, levitating, overlooking all living beings.  The Archon shouted out the shadow in his heart, and raised his head with all his willpower. He saw the existence in the black fire, a heroic and sinister face, two pairs of curved horns protruding from the forehead, and a short burning beard.  The moment he saw his eyes, his soul collapsed, leaving only a shell.  Why don't you come out yet The being in the black flame didn't bother to speak. His will spread outwards, but he stared at the lost Archon.  Suddenly, a ring on the Archon's hand lit up with silver light, and a sick laugh came out: "Hehehehehe I still can't escape."  Can you avoid my pursuit if you become an item?  "I don't dare, Your Majesty." Say it and tell me what the key is for the Lord of Nine Hells to achieve in this plane.  "As you wish, Your Majesty Mephisto, my lord wants to get the Magic Network" Lie!  The black flames stirred, the entire hall turned into flying ashes, and the darkness also retreated under the power of the devil.  There is no one in the universe who knows him better than me. What the Lord of Nine Hells puts out must be a scam. That golden dragon is just one of his many victims of evolution!  Do you think I would be stupid enough to touch this bait?  "In this case, I have nothing more to say. No matter how many clones of me you find, the result will be the same." I will find your true body and see how long your fragile mind can last under the black flames of eternal prison.   In a flash, the Archon and the spiritual clone of Eraduni in the form of a ring turned into ashes.  The demon king in the black flame turned his head slightly, and the space was burned, twisted and melted by the fiery sight. A figure could no longer avoid it and flew out.  ¡° Lowly undead the mind flayer led me here just for you?  "I don't think so. The owner here is not here." Dragon Lich Dogothos shook his bone wings, "Even if she is here, she will not be an obstacle to the Demon King of Purgatory." You know me.  ¡°I had some guesses, but after listening to the conversation between you and the referee, I realized how deep I had waded into.¡± Referee?  The blue soul fire in the eyes of the Dragon Lich trembled, "The superior Hell Lord, you really don't care about the information of mortal things." The bone claw shook, and an agreement flew towards Black Flame.  "This is a copy of the Xiguang Agreement. Please note that it states that the participants will target other visitors from other worlds." Is this your sad request, undead?  "No, it's a threat." Dogothos said proudly, with a sinister tone, "'lowly' undead, what about you? The homeless dog of hell!" Black flames rose, covering everything around him, and the power of the Demon King increased steadily.  You have overstepped your bounds, undead!  "Still aloof, Mephistopheles! Then tell me the basis for my transgression. Who are you hiding from?" Dragon Lich roared.  As soon as these words came out, Black Flame froze for a moment.  "In 54 days, you killed nearly a hundred clones of the illithids. With your strength and temper, it was easy to overturn this fragile continent, but you resorted to sneaking in secret. Whose attention are you afraid of attracting? Who is chasing you?  Are you running? The Lord of Heaven or the Lord of the Nine Hells himself? You, the cowardly Demon King of Hell, are not qualified to scold me for my background. Now, if you want to continue to act in Saraf, just use your mouth.  Talk to me!" After a long silence, the Purgatory Demon King slowly descended and spoke for the first time, "Transcendent, you are in contact with the most dangerous game." "In fact, I am already in this game. It is limited by the contract.  If you can't quit, you have to make enough money. The current situation is that the golden dragon and the illithid control the situation. They have the authority of the magic network and the Xingguang Agreement. As long as you stand on the stage, you will be attacked by a group and attracted.  The enemy you least want. So" "So, cooperation with you is the best way, right?" "Mutual benefit, the constant law of the multiverse." The devil smiled arrogantly, "Compliments, threats,  Interest, cooperation. You little beings who play with wisdom, do you think these tricks can control the Demon King of Purgatory? What I hate most is the same face as Asmodeus, so my response to you is Destruction!  !    Thousands of miles away, in a secret place, Dogothos staggered back. While the projection was destroyed, the Black Flame of Eternal Prison tried to chase the Dragon Lich body, and finally got away.  Anger surged through the Lich's ribs. It had been a long time since he had been despised and looked down upon like this.  He sneered and began to look forward to the fight between the golden dragon and the devil.  But thinking about this plane and the intervention of the Lord of Nine Hells, I suddenly felt a lump in my throat.  He turned around and touched a round luminous crystal behind him.  "No matter what you plan, my pace is unstoppable" (To be continued) ps: The exam is over, updates will be resumed
