Infernal Artist

The teenagers were taken to a large room filled with tables, chairs and benches.

Every table was filled with food.

The middle-aged man stood aside and said:

"You have gone through many screenings and have exhausted too much energy. Now let's eat first."

"Eating time is five minutes."

"In five minutes, I will take you to class."

After that, he left.

Liu Ping looked at the others and, regardless of whether they were there or not, found a table and sat down.

He did feel hungry.

Looking at the food in front of us, they are nothing more than fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, and milk, but they are slightly different in form.

For example, this egg——

Liu Ping picked up an egg with a black shell and inlaid with natural cloud patterns, and lines of burning small words suddenly appeared in the void:

"Eggs of an unknown species."

"Edible."

"Function: Supplement nutrition."

Liu Ping reached out and cracked the eggshell, and a white egg rolled out.

Take a bite, it's a little sweet.

At this time, more teenagers couldn't bear their hunger, sat down one after another, and started eating.

Liu Ping asked silently in his heart while eating:

"Sequence, can you really use it?"

A line of small burning words appeared: "Of course."

"Since you have truly integrated into the world of Eternal Night and become a part of it, this sequence has now started."

"Since your strength is extremely low and you are just a gray card, this sequence opens a very targeted function for you."

"What?" Liu Ping asked.

"Heroic Spirits Asylum." Sequence said.

"What is this?" Liu Ping asked curiously.

Lines of burning small characters appeared quickly:

"The first ability of the Heroic Spirit Operation Interface:"

"Heroic Spirits Asylum."

"Explanation: Those heroic spirits that belong to you will be able to release a variant of their own abilities on you, provided that you complete the charter conditions corresponding to the heroic spirits."

"It can be activated once every twelve hours."

Liu Ping pondered: "What about? Why don't you activate it once and let me have a look?"

Another line of burning small letters appeared:

"Randomly select heroic spirits, and the chosen one is: Nine-Life Cat Demon (sleeping)."

"If you meet the following specific conditions, you can extract a mysterious variant of a certain ability from the Nine-Life Cat Demon and use it once."

"Extraction condition: eat a fish."

fish……

Such a simple condition.

Liu Ping looked around and saw no fish on any of the tables. Only seven or eight tables away, on the other side, there happened to be a steaming fried fish.

He stood up, walked over, and took the plate of fish away from several teenagers.

"Wait a minute, this is the food on our table." A teenager shouted.

"You can also eat from my table, I won't mind at all." Liu Ping smiled and said.

Regardless of what the other party said, he walked back, placed the fish in front of him, and ate it with relish.

This fish was a species he had never seen before, and it tasted quite delicious.

Lean less.

A fish is eaten cleanly.

Liu Ping put down the tableware.

Lines of burning small characters appeared quickly:

"You have completed the charter conditions related to the Nine-Life Cat Demon."

"This sequence is randomly extracting an ability from the nine-life cat demon——"

"five,"

"Four,"

"three,"

"two,"

"one."

"Finish."

"You gain a mutant power: exclusive intelligence gathering."

"Available times: 1 time."

"Release this ability, and you will get information that is useful to you from someone."

Liu Ping took a look and nodded silently.

Cat demons are the best at gathering information.

In Zhao Chanyi, this trait is very typical.

For example, Zhao Chanyi found the information about his master for him.

However, it is only available once.

"What should I do if I run out this time?" Liu Ping asked.

Serial said: "After twelve hours, you must meet a certain condition again before you can gain a certain mutant ability again."

"In other words, the person drawn next time may not be Zhao Chanyi. Even if she is drawn, she may not be able to draw this ability?" Liu Ping asked.

"Correct." Serial said.

At this time, the middle-aged man appeared in front of the young people again.

"Okay, dinner time is over, come with me. Your first class will begin soon." He said solemnly.

The teenagers stood up and followed him down the long corridor and into a classroom.

This is a very large classroom.

When the middle-aged man saw that they were all seated, he left.

Soon.

An old man with gray hair walked into the classroom, stood on the podium, and slammed a heavy and huge book on the table with a bang.

He took a few breaths and wiped the sweat from his forehead before looking at the teenagers below.

"Everyone."

"Today is the day that you join Eternal Night. I am very happy to see you. This means that the empire has gained new and energetic blood."

"Please introduce yourself first. After all, you will become each other's partners and comrades in the years to come."

"Start from the front row."

In the first row, a boy stood up and said: "I am Qian Wuzhou. I was exploring an ancient treasure card. I entered a certain ruins and triggered the mechanism. In order to save a few brothers, I did not hide. , and died."

A girl stood up and said, "My name is Bai Yu. I had just killed a few soldiers, but was hit by a large-scale magic light annihilation cannon and died on the battlefield."

The old man interrupted her and said, "You are only fourteen or fifteen years old and you are already going to the battlefield?"

"The country will be destroyed." The girl said expressionlessly.

"I see, in purgatory, conquest and struggle are the eternal themes, hey -" The old man shook his head and motioned for her to sit down.

Another boy stood up and said: "My name is Libertas. I am a low-ranking member of a family. I killed the family leader's youngest son because he didn't hold back during the duel. I was killed by the family leader with an axe."

The old man nodded and said: "You guys are indeed of good quality. I will teach you well."

One after another the teenagers stood up and introduced themselves.

When it was Liu Ping's turn, he stood up and said, "My name is Liu Ping. I died while fighting for a woman with others."

Everyone burst into laughter, and the heavy atmosphere suddenly melted away.

When everyone was introduced, the old man coughed lightly and said:

"Everyone."

"To put it simply -"

"It is the luck of all of you to be able to reach the territory of the empire at the moment of death."

luck?

The teenagers all looked puzzled.

Liu Ping thought for a while and said silently in his heart: "Launch 'exclusive intelligence collection', target: the old man on the podium."

A short line of burning characters quickly appeared:

"Activated."

"What he tells next will be exclusive information that meets your requirements."

On the podium, the old man's lips moved, but he suddenly stopped talking.

He looked at the teenagers and murmured: "I'm afraid you young people who just died don't know what terror is, so let me tell you."

"You must have heard of the existence of gods in the infinite world of purgatory."

"The gods have countless means. The gods place those who have just died and the world that has just been destroyed in eternal night, making such a world fall into constant war, making the people who have just died think that they are still alive, and in order to survive And keep fighting.”

"Those who perform well are selected——"

The old man took a deep breath and said in a calm tone: "The gods use the method of burning their lives to drive them, making them become cards and working for the gods."

In the classroom, there were bursts of noise, even mixed with a few female screams.

Some teenagers turned pale with fright.

Liu Ping asked in confusion: "A way to burn life?"

The old man said: "Yes, the method of burning life - it burns the souls of the dead so that they can be used. But after the war between the gods is over, the souls of the dead will be completely extinguished."

Liu Ping said: "It is equivalent to treating the dead as disposable war tools."

The old man said in a solemn tone: "Yes, those souls will wake up at the last moment, and their souls will be hopelessly burned out. At that moment, they will fall into incomparable sadness and pain. "

Liu Ping fell into silence.

He suddenly remembered the statue of the Lady of Pain he found in the church when he first arrived in Darkmist Town.

At that time, a spell emitted from the statue:

"The Holy Spirit adds protection and burns life."

Not only that, when he returned to Dark Mist Town with his tactical team, the team hurriedly brought in another statue.

Finally the truth came out.

——It turns out that this god is to select slaves nearby and burn their lives to be driven by the Lady of Pain!

Liu Ping's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Although he saved most of the practitioners, after all, some people had already been selected.

What a sad fate they met.

Liu Ping stood up and said to the old man on the podium: "Thank you for your explanation, I have understood something very important."

The old man nodded and sighed: "I don't know why I suddenly have to talk about such a heavy thing today, but you might as well listen, so that you will understand how valuable it is to be able to sit here freely and listen to the lecture at this moment."

Another teenager asked: "Are we free here? We have all been drawn into cards - in purgatory, there must be a card master to drive us."

The old man waved his hand and said: "No, this is Yong Ye, and of course there will be no card master driving you here. All you have to do is work hard to improve yourself, make yourself a strong man, and fight to protect everyone here. "

Another young man said: "Since there is a war, there must be card masters driving us. Otherwise, how can we use our strength?"

The old man smiled and said: "We have an intelligent war system, which is responsible for dispatching each of us according to various fair strategies."

"Is this still possible? Doesn't that mean everyone is equal?" A young man said in a voiceless voice.

"Yes, the machine is absolutely fair - in this way, the concept of slavery and being enslaved in Purgatory has been broken by us." The old man nodded happily.

Liu Ping did not continue to listen.

Lines of new prompts were constantly appearing in front of his eyes:

"Notice."

"Twenty-four hours later, you will face the first battle to ascend to the gods."

"The current time has been set as five years ago."

"It has been discovered that Aldrich's deck five years ago was: the Servant deck."

"You have a certain probability of defeating him, saving Yana's life, and allowing this battle to ascend to the gods to continue."

"Please start enhancing your card level immediately!"
