Infernal Artist

On the dark mountains and rivers, three shadows were galloping forward.

"We have stepped out of the devil's territory, and there is an unknown wasteland ahead - how long will we have to go next?" Libertas asked.

"It takes about half a month to walk along the border to reach the snow-capped mountains." Andrea said.

"Half a month? Outside the human world?" Libertas said.

He slowly stopped and looked towards the other side of the mountain.

Dark blue frost covered the sky one after another, solidifying the entire human kingdom, as if it were a sapphire exuding bursts of chill.

And outside this sapphire, there are only boundless wilderness and mountains.

"We must go to the snowy mountains, where Hua Qingkong is waiting for us." Liu Ping continued.

"Of course we are going - but don't we have a way to protect ourselves?" said Libertas.

"Don't you have a suggestion card?" Liu Ping said.

Libertas clapped his hands and said:

"Twelve hours are coming soon. Let's find a place to rest. I can just draw the suggestion card."

Liu Ping nodded and said: "Let's go, there is a place with leeward wind over there, just in time for us to have something to eat and rest for a while."

The three of them came to a huge rock and sat down to rest.

Libertas made a brief preparation and stretched out his hand to draw out from the void.

A card suddenly appeared in his hand.

He took a look, showed it to Liu Ping and Andrea, and said:

"Look at this advice card."

I saw a number written on the card: 15.

Next to "15" is an arrow rising upwards, pointing straight to a black skull.

There is a line of small words written under the pattern:

"Don't exceed level 15, otherwise..."

Otherwise what?

Andrea's eyes fell on the black skull and she guessed: "That skull should represent danger."

"I think it's death." Liu Ping said.

He and Andrea looked at each other meaningfully.

"Don't show your face for now." Liu Ping said.

"good."

Andrea nodded, turned into a card, and was put away by Liu Ping.

"Wait! Without her to hold the battle, what if we encounter a monster and are eaten directly?" Libertas said hurriedly.

Liu Ping patted him on the shoulder and said: "Your suggestion card is similar to a mysterious divination. In the eternal night, we'd better follow its suggestions."

Libertas said helplessly: "Well, as a professional who is less than level 10... I think we will be finished soon."

Liu Ping was about to speak when he suddenly saw lines of burning small characters appearing in the void:

"This operation interface has woken up."

"Since the various functions of this operation interface cannot be released for the time being, I will first complete the relevant content of the previous battle for you:"

"You discovered the secret of the 'Fool' sequence;"

"You have seen the core deck of 'The Fool';"

"You saw the prisoner;"

"You have witnessed the stasis of time and space with your own eyes;"

"——To sum up, your role has increased by 4 points, reaching 10/10."

"Your role is full."

"Your performance ability: Fishman is about to evolve."

"Given that you once rejected the acting path of 'popular actor', your new acting ability has gone in another direction."

"Given that this sequence has completed the super evolution, the abilities you will obtain have been greatly improved."

"Congratulations."

"You have lost your performance ability: Fishman."

"You have gained an advanced version of the performance ability: scene-stealer."

"Explanation: When you say the line 'Stop! Listen to me!', this ability is activated immediately. After that, you must continue to speak any lines, and the target you identify will always listen subconsciously, and will not Do anything else until you attack or you stop talking for a long time."

"-If a person is determined to steal the show, you can't get a word in."

Liu Ping read it quickly and suddenly felt more confident in his heart.

but--

"Heroic Spirit Operation Interface, haven't you completed the super evolution? Why can't various abilities be released temporarily?"

Liu Ping asked silently.

A line of burning small words appeared:

"After the super evolution, this operation interface has gained too many functional items, and these functional items are not necessarily suitable for the world system of purgatory and eternal night."

"Therefore, the function items cannot be selected and fixed in this operation interface for the time being."

Liu Ping was speechless.

——Can it still be like this?

Okay, let's choose the sequence slowly.

A quarter of an hour later.

Liu Ping and Libertas set off again, running towards the front.

They clung to the continuous blue frost, staying within five meters of it, and continued running for about five hours.

Libertas suddenly took out a handkerchief and began to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Liu Ping took a look and saw that he was sweating profusely and seemed to be soaked to the skin.

"What's the matter with you?" Liu Pingqi asked.

"I can't help it. Whenever I have a premonition of something extremely dangerous, I will break into a cold sweat. The more dangerous it is, the more I sweat." Libertas said.

"Stop being an assassin, you can become a prophecy professional." Liu Ping suggested.

Libertas said: "Liu Ping, are we and Hua Qingkong really the only ones who escaped?"

"That should be the case. After all, generally no one crosses the border into Yongye unless they want to die." Liu Ping said.

"...In other words, we are in danger now." Libertas said.

"Yes, so we can only walk close to the border and never go deep into unknown areas." Liu Ping said.

The next second.

The two people's expressions changed and they both stopped in place.

I saw a woman appearing on the hillside ahead.

This is a very tall woman. She is taller than both Liu Ping and Libertas, about 1.9 meters tall.

She was carrying a basket filled with fruits of different colors.

"Did she sneak out to pick fruits? It's so pitiful. She probably only has this basket of fruits left."

Libertas sighed and winked at Liu Ping with a tense face.

Liu Ping followed Libertas' eyes.

Under the woman's skirt, two long snow-white leg bones were exposed.

A line of small words floated above her head:

"????"

Liu Ping also felt nervous.

This is definitely not a human being.

But what exactly is it?

At this moment, the woman raised her head and looked at the two people.

"Two young sprouts... why are you here? Are you lost?" the woman greeted the two with a smile.

Libertas was about to draw out the dagger, but Liu Ping grabbed him.

Liu Ping shouted: "Stop! Listen to me!"

In an instant, a line of small burning words quickly appeared: "You activated the performance ability: 'Scene Stealer'."

"Please start your performance, otherwise this ability will disappear."

Liu Ping cleared his throat and said, "My friend and I were indeed lost. We originally came from that frozen human country, but because it was too dark, we took the wrong path and accidentally ended up here."

The woman looked dazed for a while and looked like she was listening.

Liu Ping pulled Libertas forward and continued:

“My friend and I have been discussing the question which came first, the chicken or the egg.”

“Which came first, the chicken or the egg?”

"Please come with us to study this issue. It is not only a philosophical issue, but also an ethical and biological issue. Moreover, eggs will fall from mid-air and break due to gravity. This contains the formulas of physics. .”

"We know that there are many interactions between various objects in nature..."

As Liu Ping said this, he took Libertas far away from the woman and walked towards the rugged path ahead.

"The gravity exerted on an object is closely related to the mass of the object..."

"Of course, when it comes to force, we should also talk in depth about what interaction is..."

The woman stood there, holding her basket, listening silently.

Libertas looked at the woman, then at Liu Ping, and suddenly said: "Is this one of your abilities?"

Liu Ping nodded and said: "Now let's talk about gravity. This is a concept on the technological side. What exactly is it?"

"The so-called universal gravity..."

Without Liu Ping's support, Libertas also accelerated his pace.

The two of them ran quickly, leaving the woman far behind.

They didn't dare to stay and kept running.

Half an hour later.

Libertas looked behind him.

Nothing can be seen anymore.

He said to Liu Ping: "That's enough, we should have gotten rid of that monster."

Liu Ping glanced towards the void.

I saw a line of burning small words floating in the air:

"Your target is listening."

——She is still listening.

Even though she was already so far away, she was still listening!

"So, this involves the relationship between hens and roosters. In fact, I once received help from a hen in a battle, and it gave me..."

As Liu Ping spoke, he pointed at Libertas’ forehead.

Libertas stretched out his hand and touched it.

Sweating all over!

His color changed slightly, and he immediately understood what Liu Ping meant.

The danger has not passed yet.

The two looked at each other, both at a loss.

This can't go on like this.

Is there no way to get rid of that monster?

While Liu Ping was talking nonsense, he said silently in his heart:

"Heroic Spirit Operation Interface, please give me that function first - an upgraded version of the secondary Heroic Spirit Summoning. I particularly need manpower here."

In the void, another line of small burning characters quickly appeared:

"Notice!"

"The problem with summoning heroic spirits is that none of the heroic spirits summoned by this operation interface have the mysterious power of purgatory and eternal night."

"This operation interface can provide you with a trial version. If you find something wrong, you can change the option at any time."

--This is good!

If you don't like it, you can replace it!

Liu Ping said happily:

"Okay, don't talk about anything else, let me use this function first!"

A small square frame suddenly appeared in the void, with a flag pattern painted on it and a line of small words written below:

"Advanced Heroic Spirit Summoning (Trial Version)."

Liu Ping stood up, reached out and grabbed a war flag from the void.

"Summon the heroic spirit!"

He shouted lowly.

Bang——

A puff of white smoke emerged from behind the battle flag.

I saw a man wearing full armor emerging from behind the battle flag.

A line of small words appeared above his head:

"Level 100 warrior, war saint."

The man smiled and said: "What kind of situation requires me to participate in the war?"

Liu Ping looked at the other person, feeling the powerful tide of power in him, and suddenly remembered something——

Libertas' suggestion card cannot exceed level 15.

but.

But this is a level 100 war saint!

Libertas glanced at the man, then at Liu Ping, and said in surprise: "Where did you find this big brother?"

"Summon." Liu Ping said.

Libertas touched his heart and breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "It's better now. Just standing here, the aura emanating from him almost blew me away. With such strength, he will definitely not be afraid of that monster."

After hearing this, the man smiled and said, "Put it on me."

"What about us?" Liu Ping said.

"Let's go, just follow me," the man said.

Liu Ping closed his mouth.

The next moment.

The prompt appears again:

"Your skill: 'Scene Stealer' has been suspended."

The level 100 war saint had been walking in front, and then suddenly stopped.

"There's someone in front of you."

he said.

Liu Ping and Libertas looked forward together, and saw the tall woman suddenly appearing in the middle of the road ahead, holding a basket in her hand.

"A ripe fruit..."

She looked at the War Saint and murmured in a low voice.

Libertas shouted: "It's her, she's a monster."

The War Saint drew out his weapon and said with a smile: "No matter what it is, you can rest assured."

Before he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred——

Liu Ping and Libertas didn't even see what was going on. The woman was already standing behind the War Saint and gently pressed her hand on his shoulder.

Snapped!

The War Saint turned into a red fruit and was held in the woman's hand.

The woman picked up the fruit, smelled it gently, opened her mouth and took a bite.

The fruit let out a miserable wail.

"What a fragrant and sweet fruit."

The woman chewed heavily, and blood dripped from the corners of her lips into the basket.

The other fruits in the basket made a low whine.

She looked at Liu Ping and Libertas, shook her head and said: "You are too immature, and it is not interesting to eat, but I can -

The next moment——

Liu Ping shouted: "Stop! Listen to me!"

"We all know that there are all kinds of people in the world, including men, women, the elderly, and children. Human beings are a race that likes to be greedy for happiness..."

He tugged at Libertas.

——Level 100 War Saint!

Liu Ping roared in his heart.

Such strength, divided according to the side of cultivation, no longer knows what state it is.

But with a gentle touch from the woman, the War Saint turned directly into a fruit that could be slaughtered.

Libertas turned pale and could hardly believe the scene before him, but Liu Ping pulled hard and finally woke up as if from a dream.

"Walk!"

He followed Liu Ping, and the two ran away.

The two of them bypassed the woman and ran forward.

"We like to eat all kinds of food, and eating brings us pleasure..."

Liu Ping continued, looking back at the woman.

The woman's mouth was full of blood, and she was holding a half-bitten bloody fruit in her hand, with a look of listening on her face.

——It seems that no matter what, the mysterious ability of "Scene Stealer" is effective on it!

Only the mysterious side can deal with the mysterious side?

Liu Ping thought about it and said:

"In addition to food, there are other things that can bring happiness to people, such as exercise. My personal favorite exercise is..."

He kept talking and kept walking.

He and Libertas soon left the woman behind and gradually disappeared from sight.

This time, neither of them stopped.

They kept walking for two days and two nights.

finally--

In the void in front of Liu Ping, a new line of prompts quietly appeared:

"Due to the distance, your target can no longer hear what you say."

Liu Ping took a look and continued:

"Human beings are versatile living beings..."

The next moment.

Another line of small burning characters appeared:

"Your target moves into range where it can listen to you."

——It's catching up!

Fortunately, Liu Ping didn't stop at all, so he stood there again and continued to listen.

Lines of burning small characters continue to emerge:

"You are too far away from the other party, and the other party can no longer hear what you say."

"Your target moves into range where it can listen to you."

"You are too far away from the other party, and the other party can no longer hear what you say."

"Your target moves into range where it can listen to you."

"..."

Libertas glanced at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping kept talking, picked up a branch and wrote on the ground:

"It's chasing us."

Another day passed.

Liu Ping's voice has become hoarse.

finally.

Those constant reminders disappeared.

After three days and two nights, the Heroic Spirit operation interface finally became clean.

——The monster gave up tracking.
