Infernal Artist

The crowd began to leave the building.

Ted took out a card and whispered: "If the infiltrator is found, request the sequence to start the first elimination process immediately."

A metal pipe appeared from the void and made a cold and ruthless voice:

"Are you sure you want to exclude it? If your judgment is wrong, you will bear the penalty of the sequence."

"Sure!" Ted gritted his teeth.

The metallic sound sounded again:

"Entering the program..."

In the sky, noisy sounds suddenly appeared.

Liu Ping looked up.

I saw densely packed cards flying from all directions and landing on top of the Special Laboratory Department building.

These cards are constantly changing, combining, scattering, and then re-forming into new cards, and then fall down and stick to the outer wall of the Special Laboratory Department building.

As time went by, the entire building was gradually filled with cards.

A cold voice sounded in the void:

"Execute Jue!"

All cards emit a blazing light.

The building shook.

An angry roar erupted from deep underground: "No--"

In an instant, the entire building turned into a bright white light rising into the sky, like a giant white pillar emerging from the sky.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The giant white pillar slowly disappeared.

A bottomless pit appeared on the ground, and the Special Laboratory Department building had disappeared.

The sequence of metallic sounds sounded again:

"Discover special mutants."

"Has been killed."

"This exclusion process was initiated by Ted the Naturalist."

"Ted's merit increases by 1000 points."

"A reward special permission card, please accept it."

A metal pipe emerged from the void and gently placed a card in front of Ted.

Ted took the card away.

At this time, a naturalist suddenly said: "Everyone, I found that person."

He held up a card and showed it to everyone.

The card turned into a picture of a person, but it was a middle-aged man with a haggard face.

This man's face was very similar to the giant with vertical pupils.

"This is a miner from the northern border who disappeared near the border last month." The naturalist said.

"It seems that he was captured by a monster outside the border..."

"What a headache. This matter must be notified to the military immediately - look, the general is already here."

Several soldiers suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

To everyone's surprise, two rows of palace guards also appeared in the sky.

A guard flew forward and said loudly:

"When everyone enters the palace, Your Majesty will personally inquire about the origin and foundation of this incident."

Ted's expression dropped.

…

ten minutes later.

royal palace.

Ted took the naturalists and reported the previous situation.

The generals said nothing.

The emperor was silent for a moment and then spoke first: "The whole body is covered with vertical pupils and the figure is huge. He was originally a human being, is that right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ted responded cautiously.

The emperor sighed and said: "You may not know, because only the top secret files of the royal family record the origin of that monster——"

He stood up and walked back and forth for a while, as if making a very difficult decision.

No one dared to make a sound for fear of interrupting the emperor's thoughts.

after awhile.

The emperor suddenly stopped and said:

"The Natural History Society... can be reopened, but you have to remember one thing. Don't go against the sect. You have to cooperate with each other to deal with the coveted person in the north of the empire. Do you understand?"

All the naturalists were overjoyed and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor nodded and said: "You are a group of people who help Sequence evolve. I had other considerations before temporarily suspending your contact with Sequence."

"I wonder if there is any place where we can share His Majesty's worries?" Ted asked.

The emperor smiled coldly and said, "Just do your part. You don't need to worry about other things."

"Yes." Ted said hurriedly.

"Okay, after an hour, the Natural History Society will resume its original position - you can leave."

Everyone bowed and exited the hall.

As soon as they walked out of the palace gate, they saw a group of people wearing black priest robes walking from a distance.

Liu Ping's expression changed, and he said to Ted: "Teacher, I'm going back first, and I'll see you later."

"Well, go ahead and come to my house tonight. We want to celebrate what happened today." Ted said.

"Okay." Liu Ping nodded.

He bade farewell to the naturalists and went another way.

The naturalists did not dare to stand at the entrance of the palace for a long time, and soon left.

At this moment.

Liu Ping turned back from the street corner and walked towards the black-robed priests.

He passed the group.

Then - suddenly turned around -

He followed the group of black-robed priests and walked all the way towards the palace.

In the middle of the process, someone looked back at him in surprise.

He just lowered his head like everyone else and silently recited "The Greatest Holy God".

A line of burning small characters slowly emerged:

"You activated the performance ability: Fish Catcher."

“You join the current congregation and become one.”

The next moment.

The man showed a look of surprise and continued to walk forward.

These people entered the palace unimpeded, bypassed the main hall, entered the depths of the palace, and came to a garden.

The emperor has been waiting here for a long time.

Opposite him stood a black pillar.

A dying man was tied to a pillar, his head lowered, as if he had fallen into a coma.

Liu Ping took a look.

——It was one of the two members of the Supervisory Committee in the bar in Cold Hammer Town.

He seemed to have suffered a lot of torture, with wounds everywhere on his body.

As soon as the congregation stood still, the emperor turned around and asked with a chill:

"What's going on in Cold Hammer Town? The person in charge will come out and speak."

One person stepped out from the crowd and said tremblingly: "None of the personnel sent to negotiate with that person came back, so we don't know what happened. We are sending people to continue investigating."

The emperor was silent for a few breaths and whispered: "No...it doesn't have the ability to directly kill my people...there must be someone causing trouble among them."

He waved casually.

The priest who explained the situation let out a scream, and all his flesh and blood disappeared, leaving only a pile of bones.

The emperor pointed to somewhere on the ground expressionlessly.

Several congregants immediately stepped forward and lifted a long piece of cloth that resembled human skin from the ground.

A flickering light rune array suddenly appeared.

"Soul Slayer, I know you are here, call me immediately." The emperor said.

Waited for a few breaths.

A voice came from the rune array: "Didn't we just trade yesterday? Why are you looking for me again?"

The emperor said: "Did you eat fifteen of my followers?"

The voice paused and said lazily: "This is a secret deal your subordinates made with me. I thought you already knew it."

"Secret deal?" the emperor wondered.

"Flawless Dragon Backbone - don't you have a dragon subordinate? In order to save this subordinate, you are willing to sacrifice fifteen souls." The voice said.

This time the emperor fell into silence.

But he quickly said: "Let's not talk about this matter for now - what happened to you secretly catching my people in the north of the empire?"

The voice said: "It's just a few miners, they crossed the border - I remember our agreement, I will take care of things outside the border."

"But those souls are my property," the emperor said calmly.

There was a fierce aura about him.

The voice immediately laughed and said: "Haha, who told them to cross the line? Well, I won't eat it next time, that's fine."

The emperor said coldly: "I will soon get this empire completely. I hope you will be wiser, otherwise you will be the first person I have to deal with."

This time, the voice didn't sound again.

The emperor looked at the congregation and ordered: "Everyone, go check and see who in the empire has a dragon summoning contract or a heroic spirit contract."

"Yes!" the congregants responded.

Suddenly, an inexplicable wave came from deep in the sky.

The power of this wave became stronger and stronger, almost turning into a strong wind, blowing continuously towards the palace.

The emperor showed irritability for the first time and whispered:

"The Supervisory Committee..."

He straightened up, flew into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.

All the believers looked at each other.

Continuous laughter suddenly sounded in the rune array:

"Being targeted by the Supervisory Committee will be enough to annoy you for a while..."

The light dimmed.

The magic circle returned to deathly silence.

The believers looked at each other.

The leader suddenly shouted: "What are you still doing? Go check it out!"

All the believers just woke up from a dream. They pulled out a card and whispered: "Teleport."

Swish, swish, swish!

The light emanating from the card enveloped everyone, soared into the sky, and left the garden.

——Only Liu Ping is left.

A line of small burning words suddenly appeared:

"You lost all your fellow travelers."

"Since there is no longer an object for the 'Fishman' effect to occur, this 'Fishman' effect has been suspended."

The next moment.

The light of the rune array suddenly lit up.

The voice came out again: "Huh? Is it you?"

at the same time.

The man who was tied to the black pillar also raised his head with difficulty, stared at Liu Ping and said:

"It's you!"
