Infernal Artist

The light and shadow flowed and whizzed away.

Liu Ping found himself back in a blank world.

Lines of dragon text kept popping up, showing the corresponding explanation of "About the Fool 3-6912 type sequence":

"This sequence is the 'third generation version of The Fool'."

"The place where the 6912th human world fell is Eternal Night. It is judged that all humans are dead, and this sequence begins to take effect."

"The creator of this sequence is: the entire sequence of Purgatory World."

Liu Ping read it silently.

It turned out to be the entire sequence of the purgatory world that created the "Fool".

Why is there no eternal night?

Yes.

The endless night buries endless existence.

——They are unknown and unpredictable existences.

They sleep here.

Even the gods dare not set foot in the eternal night easily.

A line of burning small words quickly appeared:

"You have seen the secret of the birth of the 'Fool' sequence."

"Your role +1."

"Current scene rating: 6/10."

Liu Ping came to his senses.

I saw the words floating in mid-air gradually disappearing.

The previous seven options appear again:

"All cards."

"Professional and Skill Alignment."

"Line of Fate."

“Harvest deadline setting.”

"Emergency measures."

"history record."

"About the Fool 3-6912 type sequence."

Liu Ping thought for a while and said:

"Show first item."

Then the metallic sound sounded:

"Retrieving 'all cards' for you."

"Given that the current human world is a complete world, the Fool 3-6912 type sequence does not need to build a world, so this deck has more power tending to monitor all cards."

"There are currently strange cards as follows."

Character cards appeared one after another in the void opposite Liu Ping.

He caught sight of the Imperial Commander-in-Chief.

"What's strange about this card?"

Liu Ping pointed at the old man on the card and asked.

The metallic voice responded:

"This card awakens the mysterious ability and begins to gain the power of the Eternal Night Pillar, so a destiny line has been placed for it:"

"During the five-day border inspection, we will be attacked by the Dark Elves."

"This sequence has established a joint capture plan with the Dark Elf clan to complete the harvesting of their souls."

"The card's fate line is taking effect."

Liu Ping lowered his gaze, then raised it again, looking at the other cards.

He saw Ted.

A metallic sound sounded in time: "This card has a low threat level and can be used to explore the world of eternal night. The power generated by its induction with the eternal night pillar is a divination ability. It takes a certain amount of time to construct a complex fate line, so temporarily Set aside.”

"What about this one?" Liu Ping pointed to another card.

——That is Hua Qingkong.

She was only thirteen years old, and she had just arrived in Eternal Night not long ago.

A metallic sound sounded:

"All files on this human girl have been completed."

"Hua Qingkong died in purgatory at the hands of a high-level demon clan. At the time of his death, he developed the talent of summoning spirits."

"'Spirit Summoning' is a rare and powerful ability of the Purgatory Pillar, which is extremely valuable."

"In this regard, this sequence has been notified to all races."

"The auction for this soul is ongoing, and there are currently one thousand, five hundred and sixty-three races participating in the competition."

"Once the auction ends, immediately arrange the fate line for Hua Qingkong."

"This sequence will cooperate with the auction winner to complete the capture together."

Liu Ping remained silent and continued to look down.

Suddenly, he found a card rising slowly and disappearing among the many cards.

On the card, a beautiful and graceful woman is holding a long bow, with a look of regret on her face.

Xiao Mengluo!

"Wait a minute - what's going on with that professional card?" Liu Ping shouted.

The sound of metal then sounded: "Your Excellency, she is the high-level soul selector of the elves. According to the agreement, she selects suitable high-level slaves in this sequence."

"Higher slave?" Liu Ping said.

"She has selected thirty-nine people, and the fortieth one is you, but your identity is verified as the tester. This sequence has urged her to give up this selection, so she will leave with the other thirty-nine souls." Metallic sound track.

While talking, thirty-nine character cards appeared around Xiao Mengluo's card.

Liu Ping looked over one by one and said: "There is a card that I want to test and make her give up."

"Please point it out," the metallic voice said.

"Libertas."

"As commanded."

Among the thirty-nine cards, one suddenly appeared and fell back into the sequence of many cards.

The next second.

All the cards that were about to leave paused.

Then the metallic sound sounded:

"Your Excellency, the dark elf Xiao Mengluo requests to speak to you."

Liu Ping said: "Connected."

In the blank world, Xiao Mengluo's voice sounded:

"Inspector? Liu Ping?"

Liu Ping said: "It's me."

Xiao Mengluo laughed, making a crisp giggle, and then said after a while:

"Are you really the examiner?"

Liu Ping said: "Aren't you also a soul picker?"

Xiao Mengluo said: "I have been observing you for half a year, Liu Ping, you should know what I want to say."

"On the surface, you and I are just fourteen-year-old boys. You don't see my identity, and I don't see your identity. This is normal." Liu Ping said.

"You avoided my words, Liu Ping. I know that you were not originally like this." Xiao Mengluo said.

"What do you want to say?" Liu Ping asked.

Xiao Mengluo's voice became softer: "Over the long years, you human race have long been accustomed to the management and rule of the sequence, and the various races in purgatory are also accustomed to harvesting souls from the human race. This has always been the case."

"This has always been the case, is it right?" Liu Ping asked.

"This is the rule set by all the purgatory races. Anyone who wants to change it will run into all the purgatory races head-on, and the only end result will be broken into pieces - the reality is cruel, Liu Ping, people like you must know that there are always There has never been fairness." Xiao Mengluo said.

Liu Ping fell into silence.

Xiao Mengluo said: "In one hour, our dark elves' selection authority will be used up. The blood demon clan will replace us. They will treat all souls as food-"

"In contrast, we dark elves only need to select some capable subordinates and servants - come with me, it will be too late." Xiao Mengluo said.

"Thank you for your kindness, no need." Liu Ping said.

"What on earth do you want to do? Forget it, let me tell you the truth——"

"I admire everything you have done, but I know you will only die if you stay here. It is better to follow me. I will find a way to help you accumulate merit and let you be reincarnated as a dark elf. You are the man I chose. Liu Ping." Xiao Mengluo said.

"Xiao Mengluo, I accept your wishes, but as an examiner, I still have a lot of unfinished work on my hands - you can go," Liu Ping said.

Xiao Mengluo was silent for a few breaths and said deeply: "You will fail. No one can overturn the decision of the entire purgatory. That is equivalent to being an enemy of all races in the purgatory world, and there will be no chance of victory."

"I know."

"You know? Then we-"

"Goodbye."

Liu Ping looked at the girl on the card and whispered: "Maybe one day, I will visit you - in my original identity, not anything else."

He waved his hand and ordered: "Send them away."

In mid-air, Xiao Mengluo and all the thirty-eight cards around her disappeared.

A metallic sound sounded: "The Dark Elves have exited this sequence. The Blood Demons will enter this sequence in an hour and start selecting suitable souls."

Liu Ping suddenly didn't hear anything and looked at the seven options again.

“This kind of round-robin selection is called ‘harvest deadline setting,’ right?” he asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency." The metallic voice said.
