Infernal Artist

The little girl stepped forward and waved her hand in front of Hong Tao's eyes.

Hong Tao stared blankly at the desert in the distance, turning a blind eye to the swaying arms in front of him.

The little girl gradually started to laugh.

"The whole thing is pretty self-explanatory."

"You discovered a loophole in this game, so they are stuck here unable to move, and I - I sensed abnormal fluctuations here from the outside."

"But the element that caused the loophole - that is, the corpse of this wolf demon has been eaten by me. This is equivalent to lifting the restrictions in the souls of these two people - they will soon regain their consciousness."

The little girl approached Liu Ping and whispered:

"Although I noticed the anomaly, I was unable to enter this hidden time and space. However, when the loophole occurred, many gaps appeared in the space. This is an extremely rare opportunity, so I was able to enter here."

After saying that, the little girl turned around and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Liu Ping shouted suddenly.

"Free soul, I have made peace with you." The little girl said calmly.

"The last question - is this true for everyone? Are all the dead people being controlled and constantly repeating the world deduction you mentioned?" Liu Ping asked in a deep voice.

The little girl burst into laughter.

"You look only a little older than me, but I didn't expect you to be so innocent and cute."

"——Cherish the remaining days of your life. Once you die, you will no longer belong to yourself."

She shook her head and prepared to leave again.

Liu Ping said: "You haven't told me the answer yet. Please tell me. I owe you a favor."

The little girl turned to look at Liu Ping, hesitated for a while, and said softly:

"Maybe there are still some uncontrolled souls."

"But sooner or later, the souls of all sentient beings cannot escape the fate of being controlled."

"Why is this so?" Liu Ping asked.

The little girl said: "For the masters of those souls, the fate of all living beings is just a tool to help them become stronger. They will not let go of any soul."

"This is the sorrow of all living beings, but it is also their joy."

"-Welcome to the game."

A gust of wind blew.

The wild sand roared away, and the little girl disappeared.

A moment.

Zhao Chanyi and Hong Tao seemed to wake up suddenly.

"A person appeared here just now, didn't he?" Hong Tao asked uncertainly.

"Yes, I seem to have seen a little girl, but what did she say?" Zhao Chanyi said.

"I don't know, she has left." Hong Tao said.

Both of them looked a little confused.

Liu Ping said nothing.

He no longer knew what to say.

"There is a great terror in the void, and it has set its sights on our world..."

Master.

Everyone is controlled and used to deduce the world...

Is this what you call the Great Terror?

Liu Ping thought secretly.

A few moments.

The three of them set off and retreated towards the way they came.

After a long journey, they reached the entrance of the underground cave again.

The three of them discussed briefly and decided not to stay any longer for the sake of safety, and immediately returned to the underground world.

As soon as the unicorn horse appeared, it attracted the wolf demon, which shows that it is a valuable thing.

Plus some things I picked up before.

And the wolf monster——

Its two daggers, a curved hook, and a white jade crown can all be sold for a lot of spiritual stones.

This was enough for the three of them to rest for a while.

Before leaving, Hong Tao smiled at Liu Ping, cupped his fists and said, "Fellow Daoist Liu, thank you for your life-saving grace."

"Fellow Daoist Hong, please don't be polite. If I don't save you, I will die too," Liu Ping said.

"One code is the same, Fellow Daoist Liu, I have something to tell you." Hong Tao said softly.

He looked at Liu Ping seriously, with his hands clasped in fists and his eyes bright.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, your ability to protect yourself reassures us and has won our trust, so you must take what we say next seriously." Zhao Chanyi said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Liu Ping asked curiously.

"There are countless creatures in the wilderness, and humans are just the most common ones." Hong Tao said.

"There is a place called Lancao Valley. It is the place where you were born and the name of the village. Three days ago, all the villagers were eaten by monsters. Only you survived and wandered alone in the wilderness." Zhao Chanyi road.

"What are you talking about?" Liu Ping asked confused.

"Also, we are about to leave the world of death, so you must say goodbye to us." Zhao Chanyi said.

The two nodded towards Liu Ping and smiled together.

Just as Liu Ping was about to speak, he suddenly realized something and looked at the two of them intently.

Their figures were gradually blurred.

Hong Tao said in a serious tone: "Your occupation is a scavenger."

Zhao Chanyi said: "All the scavenging items are turned in. If I ask you what you want, just say you want a formal identity."

Hong Tao said: "We can only say so much..."

Zhao Chanyi said: "You have to rely on yourself from now on. Take care, Fellow Daoist Liu."

The two of them hugged Liu Ping's fists.

Everything around turned into light and shadow, gradually spreading out like ripples, becoming dim in the void, and disappearing under the night with the wind.

Liu Ping remembered the little girl's words and couldn't help but stand there blankly.

Lines of burning small characters quietly emerged in the void:

"The hidden space and time has disappeared."

"You passed through many obstacles through hidden time and space and reached an unknown place."

All the small characters disappeared into the void as soon as they were collected.

At this time, the surrounding scene had completely changed, and Liu Ping found himself still standing at the entrance of the underground cave.

In the desert outside the cave, you can vaguely see scattered lights.

There are lights and people.

Liu Ping took a few breaths and then remembered the words of the monk at the tomb.

"This talisman will form a kind of power, and people who sense that power will come to help you and take you out of the world of death."

Liu Ping sighed.

It turns out that Hong Tao and Zhao Chanyi followed each other all the way to send themselves away from the world of death.

There are also the two practitioners who were at the tomb before.

They... are all dead and their souls are controlled.

Despite this, they still find ways to help themselves avoid being hunted, and even more thinking of sending themselves out of the world of death.

That is to say——

Although their souls are enslaved, they are still trying to find ways to fight!

besides.

Those monsters in the world of death.

The being possessing Wang Cheng's corpse, the monster made of countless corpses glued together, and the guy holding a giant bronze hammer.

Even that little girl.

There must be a huge mystery hidden behind these monsters.

Liu Ping suddenly sensed something and couldn't help but frowned.

in the desert.

All those lights suddenly disappeared.

What disappeared next was the crowd illuminated by the lights.

——Where have they gone?

Liu Ping pulled out his spiritual fan and ran forward vigilantly.

It didn't take long for him to reach the location where the light was before.

It was a sand dune.

There was no one on the dune, only a black steel machine standing motionless.

Liu Ping walked around the sand dune and found nothing strange, and finally came to the steel machine step by step.

The height of the machine was just up to his chest, emitting a faint light.

When Liu Ping approached it, all the glimmers of light gathered together and swept over him.

Between the lightning and flint, in the corner of the void, the line of small words displayed in the sequence changed:

"Concealment lifted."

"Your current status is: alive."

The next second, a cold and ruthless voice sounded from the black machine:

"Welcome, living man."

"You are a scumbag with a combat power of only 10.5, so you must explain your identity."

"I come from Lancao Valley and am a scavenger." Liu Ping said.

The machine paused and sounded again:

"I see, you lucky scavenger, it's not easy for you to reach the boundary monument No. 0371 alive."

"Are you leaving the world of death?"

Liu Ping was about to speak when he suddenly thought about it.

There was a pause.

He said: "If I don't leave now, can I still leave later?"

"Any time," the machine replied.

"Thank you, I won't leave for now." Liu Ping said.

The floating light slowly flew back into the machine.

The machine goes silent again.

Liu Ping retreated and found a place to sit down not far from the black machine.

He began to wait quietly.

time flies.

at some point.

Liu Ping stood up again, dusted himself off, and walked to the machine.

“I am a scavenger, please send me away from the world of death,” he said.

In the black machine, the cold and ruthless voice sounded again:

"Scavengers, it's very difficult for you to reach boundary monument No. 0371 alive. Welcome."

"The transmission is about to begin."

"You will leave the world of death and arrive at Darkmist Town in Dragonblight."

"Please enter."

The black machine quickly transformed into two huge doors, which slowly opened on both sides.

outside the door.

The blazing sun hung high in the cloudless blue sky, shining on the wilderness in its full glory.

However, there is an endless dark night inside the giant steel door, without a trace of sunlight shining in.

Day and night are separated, life and death are separated.

This is a spectacle that Liu Ping has never seen in his life.

He tried to stay calm and said silently in his mind: "Activate 'a person without a role'."

A strange wave appeared on him.

When the auxiliary text of the sequence was displayed line by line, he stepped out of the black steel door.
