New Century Kitchen Warrior

Chapter 16: Lured into the Sweet Embrace of Dusk

【Transformation Magic】

Disguise magic. Legend has it that the strongest assassin master can use this magic to disguise himself as anyone or even anything. However, I have never heard of any demon willing to spend hundreds of years practicing this intermediate magic, because even Lei Ye, who does not have a good magic talent, can learn to use it in a few hours. Through this magic, he successfully "erased" the horns on his head.

After using it successfully and confirming the effect, Lei Ye was secretly shocked. This magic had not been mentioned by the members of the brave team. According to the education they had received, they should not be ignorant of this kind of magic that could allow a large number of demons to easily blend into human cities.

In other words, this is a kind of magic unknown to humans. Perhaps countless demons have hidden in the human world through this magic.

The griffin flew over the great gate of Hildesheim.

Buyadi hid the horns on her head, but she did not intend to enter the city in a low-key manner! She controlled the griffin to dive and arrived at the small bungalow purchased by Lei Ye in one breath.

From a high place, Lei Ye saw Loya and Kunlai standing at the door at a glance.

Along the way, Lei Ye had been thinking about how he should act as if he was experiencing all this for the first time, but the current situation didn't seem to require too much thinking, and he was too lazy to think too much.

Now he just wanted to follow the original plan and give Kun-Lai a good punch.

A punch from the sky!
The punch hit Kun-Lai's back accurately, knocking him away on the spot.

Kun-Lai let out a miserable cry and rolled his eyes in mid-air.

Luoya let out a scream as if she had seen a ghost and watched Lei Ye retreat repeatedly.

Lei Ye was also screaming in pain. He seemed to hear a crackling sound, probably a bone was broken.

In the chaos, Buyadi quietly came behind Lei Ye, patted him on the back, and a green light emerged.

Lei Ye looked up and saw four big green words flashing above his head.

+4396
As expected of Buyadi, she has such abundant milk supply.

Lei Ye adjusted his state, took a deep breath, and strode towards Kun-Lai who was lying on the ground and screaming.

As he walked, he felt his body. It was very subtle. An unprecedented sense of strength emerged after entering the battle. He suddenly changed from a weak logistics personnel to a frontline soldier who did not need to think too much.

On the other side, although Kun-Lai was grimacing in pain, he quickly demonstrated his excellent qualities as an A-level explorer. He gritted his teeth, rolled over, and took a defensive stance.

"Wait! Wait! I didn't mess with anyone! Did you misunderstand something?!"

He yelled at Lei Ye.

Then froze.

"You are Lei Ye?! You are not dead?"

Lei Ye paused and looked at the man in confusion, "Have you heard my story?"

He was a little surprised to be called by his name. He had no connection with this man at all, but he didn't expect that this guy actually knew him.

"Some explorers above level A know that you are the fourth member of the brave team. For some reason, your identity has not been recognized, but the guild master has been silently recording your achievements. Your guild level has been upgraded from F to B."

As he said that, he quickly walked to Luoya and took back the storage bag.

At first, Loya refused to let go, but Kun-Lai made a "tut" sound and punched her, and Loya immediately became obedient.

Looking at their interaction, Lei Ye frowned and finally noticed something strange.

"These are your compensation, a token of our guild's appreciation, but..." He swallowed silently as he approached Lei Ye, his expression alert, "Why did you hit me? I don't have any grudge against you. Did you recognize the wrong person? Indeed, some people often discuss behind your back whether you are a good match for this team, but I remember that I have always been speaking for you, didn't you recognize the wrong person?"

".I just want to ask you one question. What are you here for? Just to deliver this?"

Lei Ye pointed to the storage bag in his hand, looked at Kunlai and nodded blankly, and Lei Ye was also confused.

What's going on?

Lei Ye calmly glanced at the rough watch on his left wrist. The time was probably the same as it was then, but Buyadi's full speed allowed him to arrive at the scene in time, but the situation was completely different.

Looking at Kun-Lai's innocent expression, it seemed that he really just came to deliver something.

Looking at Loya again, she was not wearing the same clothes as that day, but a fancy dress. The window of the room was open, and there was a pleasant smell of flowers. By the window, in front of a large bouquet of flowers was a black and white portrait of Lei Ye.

unlucky!

Lei Ye rushed over and threw the thing to the ground, and couldn't help but question Luoya.

"What are you doing?!"

Forced into a corner, Loya was confused and at a loss as to what to do.

"Eh? Why don't you look like that?"

"You are the one who looks like her. You look like Loya."

"What! Lei Ye! What are you talking about! How dare you talk to me like that?" Luo Ya was stunned at first, but then she reacted and anger surged on her face. "The obituary of the Brave Squad has appeared in the newspaper, so of course I mistakenly thought you were dead. I have been waiting for you to come back, but why should I be scolded by you for no reason?"

"The luggage is packed, just wait a few minutes, you idiot Loya."

Luoya's little face turned from angry to warm.

“My back.”

On the other hand, after Kunlai realized that this matter might have nothing to do with him, he didn't intend to ask about the beating, and prepared to leave with his back hunched.

When passing by, Buyadi stopped him.

Looking up, Kunlai was frightened by the pair of scrutinizing scarlet eyes, as if his soul was being dissected.

But he still mustered up the courage to act like a senior in the guild. "You guys are all new faces. You must be very powerful summoners to be able to ride griffins. Welcome to Hillius. Thank you for standing up on the eve of the invasion of the Demon King's army. By the way, remember to register with the guild as soon as possible, otherwise monsters of this level will definitely cause panic."

He tried to pat Buyad's arm like an elder encouraging a newcomer, but Buyad grabbed his wrist. The red special effect of his left eye became sharper and sharper, like a knife stabbing Kun-Lai's brain, causing severe pain.

Just when he couldn't help but want to shout out, Buyadi suddenly let go of her hand, waved her hand expressionlessly, and signaled him to leave.

Watching Kun-Lai running away with a painful look on his face, Buyadhi turned his head to look at Lei Ye and chuckled playfully.

Her eyes were red as a furnace.

In the cool night breeze, Lei Ye was drinking.

Buyadi, who was beside him, quietly reached out and put her arm around Lei Ye's shoulders, patting him gently as if she was comforting a girlfriend who was feeling depressed.

"I'm sorry. My mission was just to get you to punch that guy. I didn't expect to see that scene. It's not your fault that there was a misunderstanding, but fortunately nothing happened. Isn't that good?" Buyadi moved her rosy lips closer to Lei Ye's ear. "But I'm a little curious. Wouldn't it be fine if the misunderstanding was resolved? Why were you so angry and even quarreled to the point of breaking up? That kid seemed to have no idea why it turned out like this, and even cried to keep you. And... I was identified as the person you cheated with. Is that okay?"

"fine."

Lei Ye wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he just said it casually.

His mind is very confused now.

This time... let's call it the second round. In the second round, after hearing the news of Lei Ye's death, Loya had been preparing to escape from Hillius. Apart from the fact that she turned out the storage bag hidden in the corner, she didn't do anything excessive, and even burned incense for Lei Ye.

However, this made Lei Ye feel even more complicated, as if something that had happened had been quietly erased.

Because he felt uncomfortable, Lei Ye chose to break up after thinking for a moment.

Don't accept. Don't forgive.

This is what Lei Ye figured out the last time he sat here drinking. A forced melon may not be sweet, but it will quench your thirst.

As a result, Loya was unwilling and refused to agree no matter what. They even had a big quarrel, and finally the two parted unhappily.

Things were taking a weird turn.

"It's nothing strange. In fact, I've checked it for you with my left demon eye that can see into people's hearts. That girl is really not a good woman. It's the right choice to decisively give up the fantasy and cut the loss in time," Buyad smiled and whispered softly, "What has happened will happen again, and what has been done will be done again. Relax, your decision is right, you won't regret it, I will never let you regret it, I am very interested in making her regret it, take out the book of contract."

"What book? That one, are you talking about?" Lei Ye took out the heavy book from the storage bag.

Buyadi also took out the same one of her own, and at the same time stretched out a hand to open the pages of Lei Ye's book. After turning two pages in succession and finding that there was only a blank page, the corners of her mouth raised and she sneered.

"I've already delivered the first prey to your home, and you still can't get her to sign? You're so weak," Buyad sighed. "Listen carefully, Lei Ye, you are already a noble devil. If you want to be a qualified devil, you can't just eat and wait for death and flirt with maids every day. You need to have elegant leisure and entertainment. Think about what devils like most?"

". Possessed a doll and danced in the middle of the night in a cheap country house?"

"What a tasteless little devil!" Buyadi smiled, "It's the soul, the soul."

It turns out to be Soul.

"Even among the higher-level demons with long lifespans, the lifespan of devils is considered extremely long. And in this long life, we devils have finally found the most fun toys."

"Souls, intelligent souls, and the best toys among them are humans. As long as we trick humans into signing a contract and selling their souls to us, then even if they die, we cannot unlock their shackles and they will remain in the soul realm for us to play with as we please."

"Human beings are creatures that have weak bodies but surprisingly strong souls. As long as they don't use too harsh methods, they can simply provide thousands of years of high-quality entertainment," Buyadhi said in a seductive manner. "Although your ex-girlfriend is skinny, she has a pretty face. How about I help you find a way to trick her into signing her name? You can ravage her to death as you please. Just before she dies and thinks she is free, you can prepare the torture instruments in the soul realm and wait for her soul to be drawn over. Think about what kind of expression she will show at that time. It must be a face that is definitely not arrogant or cocky, but twisted and hideous. What do you think? Don't you look forward to such punishment?"

Lei Ye did not answer, but silently glanced at the contract book on Buyadi's side.

It's not as new as my own, and has some old wrinkles.
Seeing Lei Ye looking over, Buyadi turned the page openly and showed it. The first page was a huge, neatly written blood name.

Lei Ye recited it subconsciously.

".Yuna."

Buyadi pursed her lips and looked in the direction of the demon assassin lady who had been silent.

So Lei Ye nodded suddenly.

Turning a few pages further, there were other names, most of which were very long. Looking at those bright red handwritings, Lei Ye couldn't help but worry that those who signed the contracts would lose too much blood.

"It's not just entertainment, it's also a way to strengthen your combat power. Considering that you're a 'devil baby', you're not very good at fighting right now, right? Using the Book of Contract to get some powerful souls to work for you can help you get through the first hundred years of weakness. Your potential is average but very resilient. The great demon king Buyadi predicts that you will eventually become a great high-level devil."

Buyadi patiently coaxed, "I know what you are worried about. I don't expect you to humiliate a female knight for a hundred years just to steal her soul. But if the other party is a bad person, there will be no problem. From this point of view, isn't the guy who was delivered to you before very suitable?"

"That is undoubtedly a rotten soul. The reason why you were not tortured too badly by her is that she likes you very much. However, you know very well what she has done to people other than you, right? So what are you worried about? She has a good face and a good body, which can also be used as a support mage, and she has a dirty heart. All of this is perfect, isn't it? In fact, you are also very interested, right? Just like you have accepted in your heart that you will live as a devil, aren't you eager to try all kinds of things that you have imagined countless times but have never done, but can do now."

As expected of a devil, Buyadi's voice was gentle and penetrated into Lei Ye's heart. He thought about it over and over again, and found that although he returned to Hillius, he had no interest in the nice house he bought in the first week. After dealing with some things here, he really wanted to go back to Yuzu Castle on the scorched earth.

He continued to think about it, and after returning to Yuzu Castle and relaxing a little, he really decided to find a way to get that Ronis to write his name in the book of contract.

He did hate her and did fantasize about taking revenge by humiliating her.

A flash of red light flashed by, and when Lei Ye was hunched over in deep thought, Buyadi was trembling all over with an expression of extreme joy. She squeezed her thighs together, looked up at the sky, and squeezed out a whisper from her throat that only she could hear.

"48."

".What? Why is your face a little red?" Lei Ye turned his head and was startled.

“Refreshed!”

"What?" Lei Ye smiled. "I admit defeat. You are really a devil who can see into people's hearts. I am indeed going to write Ronis's name on this contract book and give it a try. Let's go back. I know all the things in the basement. I will drive."

"Don't worry. Hillius is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Now that we are here, we must have some fun for a few days." She tilted her head and showed a twisted smile. She put one hand on Lei Ye's shoulder and poked Lei Ye's waist with her slender fingers. "Why are you in such a hurry to go back to the basement? There is a girl next to you who put on makeup specifically to accompany you to play."

Lei Ye was stunned.

It turns out that for Buyadi, this matter just means accompanying him out to play.

He should be terrified, being in an embrace that could strangle him to death at any time.

But why is it that what emerges from deep in my heart is a complex feeling of joy, so strong and yet so hazy?

Suddenly, Lei Ye frowned when he thought of what Buyadi said about Ronnie being locked up in the basement.

".I locked that girl in the basement. The door needs my magic pattern to open. If I go back too late, she might die."

"Will not."

Bu Yadi's twisted smile suddenly became very evil, "You underestimate the creativity of us devils. Please watch the VCR."

This word sounds familiar.

As she spoke, Buyadi took out a fantasy crystal from her storage bag.

This operation is also a bit familiar
The light curtain unfolded, showing a black and white picture. The ordinary illusion crystals on the market can only project this kind of colorless black and white picture.

Lei Ye stared at the screen and was suddenly shocked.

"This, this is not reasonable!"

"How is it? This thing is amazing, isn't it? I spent a lot of money to let my most capable subordinates develop this remote system. It is an amazing magic tool that can see distant scenes in real time."

"Oh, I see. Surveillance, right? I'm curious so I'd like to ask what the high price is."

"Surveillance? What a good name! Let's call it that from now on. I forgot the price, maybe fifty gold coins?"

The cost of modifying this thing is actually not even worth the gold coins, you are a bit mean, Miss Grady.
wrong!

"I'm not asking about the surveillance! Look at what she is doing! What is she doing, she she she she, she is lying on the ground and taking a shit she!"

In fact, it’s not pulling or spraying. Lei Ye doesn’t want to use such a heavy word.

On the other side, Buyadi seemed quite proud.

"I've said before that the devil has a lot of bad ideas. The basement of your castle was designed by the previous owner - a distant relative of mine who came to seek refuge with me. That guy likes arrogant female knights the most, so he arranged all kinds of interesting props in the basement, specifically used to disintegrate people's self-esteem and arrogance. But for a guy with no bottom line, it might backfire. Look, doesn't that guy look very happy?"

Look at the screen.

Sure enough, Ronnie got up from the ground with a ruddy face, staggered to a wall, and then staggered to sit on the ground.

Well, as an old teammate, Lei Ye could see that she was indeed quite happy.

In front of her, something like a hamster feeder was stretched out, and a pitiful stream of water dripped down.

I see. With this device, I don't have to worry about food and water.

As I continued to look, several large words appeared on the wall.

[Congratulations on completing Mission No. 16. Please go to the drainage device after the ten-minute break.]

Drainage device?
Lei Ye frowned and found that things were not that simple.
