A god-level prop master in the Marvel universe

The old man was dressed in black and held a black cane in his right hand.

Judging from his full head of white hair, the old man must be quite old, probably over 70.

Even if elderly people at this age take good care of themselves, they will still look somewhat weathered, after all, these are the marks left by the passage of time.

Strangely, Luo Bai couldn't sense any sense of age from the old man.

He even had a misconception that the old man looked to be in very good spirits, even more so than young people like Luo Bai.

Of course, this is not the point.

The key point is that the old man was sitting calmly and elegantly on the sofa in Luo Bai's living room, with a slight smile on his face.

He acted as if he were the owner of the villa.

He even took the initiative to greet Luo Bai, saying, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"..."

Luo Bai didn't say anything, but couldn't help frowning.

The old man barged into Luo Bai's house without saying hello, which naturally angered Luo Bai.

But he didn't act immediately.

He had a premonition that the old man in front of him was not a simple person.

After all, in the Marvel universe, bald men and old men are usually hidden masters.

Luo Bai simply couldn't remember who the old man in front of him was. After thinking for a while, Luo Bai finally asked, "Who are you?"

The old man raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a mysterious smile.

Who I am is not important. What is important is that I notice you have a special soul.

When he said those words, the old man's eyes seemed to light up.

It revealed the look in the eyes of a wild beast seeing its prey, with a strong sense of aggression.

At this moment, Luo Bai already sensed that something was wrong.

From the old man's words, Luo Bai could sense that he seemed to know that Luo Bai came from another world.

Luo Bai hoped he was wrong, so he didn't admit it immediately. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "I don't know what you're talking about. But your behavior is very impolite. Please leave."

In fact, Luo Bai was just saying that; he didn't expect the old man in front of him to leave on his own.

After all, the old man had already broken into a private residence in such an impolite manner; it would be illogical for him to just leave without doing anything.

Just as Luo Bai was wondering what the old man would do next, the old man suddenly spoke up: "Your name is Luo Bai, right? I remember Tony called you that. I just noticed that you have a lot of books on magic theory in your room, so it seems you are very interested in magic."

"This has nothing to do with you, does it?" Luo Bai replied irritably.

The old man wasn't annoyed; he maintained his smile and continued talking to himself, "Those books are useless; in my opinion, they're practically children's books."

The old man seemed to possess magic, and was a powerful mage at that.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have called the magic book Mordo gave him "children's books," since these are essential reading for Kamar-Taj sorcerers.

Thinking of this, Luo Bai asked casually, "You know magic?"

The old man smiled broadly and replied with a proud tone, "Of course. No one in this world knows magic better than me."

As he spoke, the old man looked out the window.

As the old man's gaze shifted, the previously bright sky suddenly turned dark.

As darkness fell, streaks of thunder and lightning flashed and roared across the night sky.

This strange phenomenon lasted for about five minutes, and then suddenly returned to normal.

It was obvious that the strange phenomenon just now was the old man demonstrating his magic to Luo Bai.

Before Luo Bai could even ask, the old man spoke up: "I can change history, manipulate time, alter memories, project illusions, and even be omniscient and omnipotent... I can do all the magic you can't even imagine."

Luo Bai felt that the old man was trying to "seduce" him.

He deliberately elevated his status in front of Luo Bai, as long as Luo Bai believed him or expressed his admiration for him.

The old man could then use his "high" status to make some demands on Luo Bai.

If it were an ordinary person who knew nothing about the Marvel universe, they might actually have been intimidated by the old man's two moves.

After all, the scene of lightning and thunder was quite impressive to the naked eye.

But for Luo Bai, who understands the Marvel universe, all he can say is that it's useless.

It wasn't even as impactful as when Strange went to find the Ancient One, and the Ancient One directly slapped Strange's soul out of his body.

Thinking of this, Luo Bai shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Your magic just now didn't seem that powerful. It only made it dark for a moment, and didn't even change the time."

The old man probably thought that Luo Bai, a novice mage, was not very knowledgeable and would most likely be shocked by the magic just now.

So after the demonstration, the old man maintained a confident smile on his face.

But the old man never expected Luo Bai to suddenly say such a thing.

The old man fell silent for a moment, and the smile on his face froze.

During the silence, the expression on his face gradually became distorted.

It's unclear how much time passed, but the old man, his previous "kind and benevolent" demeanor completely gone, suddenly erupted in fury: "Do you know who I am? How dare you say my magic isn't powerful? You ignorant and foolish novice mage!"

It seems that Luo Bai's words really hit home, and the old man suddenly broke down and revealed his true nature.

Luo Bai already knew that the old man was not a simple person and that he was definitely pretending to be someone else.

So when Luo Bai saw the old man suddenly become agitated, he wasn't surprised at all. He just calmly watched the old man break down.

After the old man finished speaking, Luo Bai slowly asked, "You came to me just to demonstrate that strange magic you just used?"

"...!!"

It was clear the old man was very angry; his face was flushed red.

Strangely, the old man neither physically punished Luo Bai nor demonstrated any other magic to prove his strength.

The old man took a deep breath to calm himself down. Once he was calm, he pulled out a piece of parchment from somewhere and handed it to Luo Bai, saying, "I don't blame you for not knowing my strength. As long as you sign your name on this contract, you will know my power, because you will gain endless strength."

He looked at the contract the old man handed him, which was covered in strange writing.

Luo Bai instantly understood the old man's identity.

and many more.

Isn't this a demonic contract?

So the old man in front of us is Mephisto, the Lord of Hell?

So this contract... is the so-called soul gift contract?

Whether signing the contract will grant him powerful magic is uncertain, but Luo Bai's soul will almost certainly be taken by Mephisto!

Luo Bai wondered why a strange old man would stay here and chat with him; it turned out he was trying to "trick" her out of her soul.

What a wicked devil!

After understanding the situation, Luo Bai took a step back and quickly refused, "No need."
