Infernal Artist

Machine City.

"Tasha, have you figured it out?" Sheng Mu asked.

"Not yet." The little girl said.

The leaders of the three major teams sat at the table, quietly watching her draw and count cards.

"You've been doing the math for half an hour, but you haven't even figured out whether the Night Wish people are dead or alive?" the Tool King asked impatiently.

"I'm sorry, it's just too difficult. I've never seen anything like it."

The little girl named Tasha wiped the sweat from her forehead.

She showed the two cards to everyone.

"This black card represents death, and this white card represents life."

"But the two cards kept appearing alternately, making it impossible for me to continue counting."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Tasha is our most powerful diviner. If she can't figure it out, there's nothing we can do."

The evil ghost sighed.

The Mechanical King had an idea and suddenly said: "How about we figure out what valuable things they got."

Everyone looked at him.

"Depending on what I do, I remember this is the best plan." Tool King said.

"It's going to cost me my life, Captain, I won't do it." Tasha looked at the evil ghost and said aggrievedly.

The evil ghost's eyes flickered, and he patted the Tool King on the shoulder and said, "If your people give their lives, I'll let Tasha take care of it."

"It has to be voluntary," Tasha added.

The Tool King glanced back and saw that the entire Apocalypse team's men looked nervous.

A bunch of useless guys.

The Tool King cursed secretly in his heart and said nonchalantly: "No problem, then I'll do it."

The little girl quickly handed a card to the Tool King and said: "Hold it tightly, it will absorb your life force."

"How much is it approximately?" Tool King asked.

"Usually around seven months," Tasha said.

Seven months of life.

This is nothing.

"good."

The Tool King held the card in his mouth, crossed his legs, and leaned back on the chair.

The little girl Tasha took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I'm starting."

She threw the cards one by one and landed on the table with their backs facing up.

“First, look at what they gained.”

A card is revealed.

I saw a deep cave painted on the card, filled with boundless books.

"It's a secret harvest."

After Tasha finished speaking, she reached out to turn over the second card.

"Now let me see what the secret is-"

As soon as her hand touched the card, she was suddenly knocked away and she let out a frightened scream.

All cards are flipped upside down on the table.

By this time, the evil ghost had already caught Tasha.

"No! You can't do divination! Once we try to pry into that secret, we will all die!"

Tasha cried and screamed hysterically.

The evil ghost was trembling all over, holding her hands hard and saying: "Listen to me, don't forget it! We won't let it go!"

The whole room was silent.

Across the table.

on the chair.

A clothed skeleton was leaning on the back of the chair with its legs crossed, holding the card in its mouth, motionless.

Mechanical King.

He was drained of his lifespan and turned into a complete white skeleton.

…

Deep in the eternal night.

Dreamland.

Law Enforcement Bureau.

Liu Ping sat down on the steps of the basement door and said:

"I'm about to level up."

"Me too." Libertas said.

"I have upgraded." Hua Qingkong said.

"Woof!" Huoyang followed.

Everyone was a little happy.

In the eternal night, strength is everything.

"If nothing else, this dream sequence is indeed an amazing secret. It can give me so much experience that even I am almost leveling up." Yana said with emotion.

"Then, I'll stay here from now on."

Liu Ping stared at the door and said, "According to the wishes of the previous law enforcers, as long as no monsters run out of the door, I will be considered qualified."

"That should be the case." Hua Qingkong said.

"I hope no monsters will come - they are from the nightmare era. The devils in that era were much stronger than they are now." Yana said.

"Is there anything else about the Nightmare Era?" Liu Ping asked.

"No, we can only know some things like clothing, species, food, etc. But the real secrets about that period of history are strictly kept and will not be easily discovered." Hua Qingkong said. .

suddenly.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

The basement door rang.

Everyone's voices stopped.

Liu Ping held the card book with one hand, drew out the shadow sword with the other hand, and said:

"who?"

A sharp voice sounded from the door:

"Open the door, I want to come in."

Liu Ping said: "No, you are being held here. You will not be interrogated until the law enforcement officials arrive early tomorrow morning."

The voice suddenly became violent and roared: "No one can bring me to trial... Everything in humanity will be destroyed."

boom--

The boundless fiery breath passed through the cracks in the door and turned into a fierce wind.

Liu Ping was almost blown away.

He couldn't help but hold the long knife and sighed secretly.

Just showing off momentum is so powerful. If a fight really breaks out, can people like myself win?

"Liu Ping, we can't win." Hua Qingkong said.

okay.

Now I have the answer directly.

Liu Ping's thoughts were racing, he coughed slightly, and said:

"This - Big Brother Idol, our extras are not in place yet, please be patient and wait for a moment."

An invisible force emanated from Liu Ping.

Performance ability: Dragon Armor!

This time is no different than when flying over the trees——

At that time, Liu Ping was too far away from the black stone statue, so the skill was not activated successfully.

This time.

There is only a door between him and the monster!

The next moment.

The extremely violent aura suddenly disappeared, and then, the murderous intention inside the door disappeared completely.

The voice became a little listless:

"When can you get everything sorted?"

Liu Ping smiled and said: "There is nothing we can do. The lighting engineer and the recorder are stuck on the road. The extras are still handing out clothes. You need to rest first."

The voice said: "On a boring night, I originally thought I could kill——"

Liu Ping interrupted and said: "You are the protagonist of this performance, why don't you just have a casual chat with me while everyone is not here?"

The voice said disdainfully: "Talk to you? Although we are separated by a sealed door, I can feel that you are not even level 20."

"Let's chat casually." Liu Ping said with a smile.

"Anything I say casually is a secret that will kill you if you hear it. We have nothing to talk about." The voice said.

Liu Ping thought so too.

Having heard the secrets of the Void Divine Pillar and the prisoners, I was directly cursed by the demon kings to the depths of eternal night.

——And died more than 60,000 times.

If I hear the secrets of the Nightmare Era again, I don’t know what the outcome will be.

But it’s not okay to not talk at all.

What if the effect of the Dragon Armor ends and the monster comes in? How to fight?

Liu Ping thought for a while and said with a smile: "Brother Idou, let's not talk about you, let's just talk about how the performance was."

——Dragon Armor needs to keep mentioning words related to the performance before it can continue to be activated.

Besides...

"What do you want to talk about?" asked the monster.

"Just talk about daily life, relatively common things, things that are generally recognized by everyone." Liu Ping said.

"Hmph, I was recognized as the strange devil back then - in my era, how many people could compare with me? If it weren't for human beings' deception, there would have been no chance of beating me back then." The monster said.

Liu Ping paused.

A line of burning small words quickly appeared:

"You have heard the unheard secrets of the past era, and the punishment mechanism of the demons and humans is about to be activated."

Liu Ping slowly raised his head and looked into the void.

I saw the void opening to both sides, revealing countless black shadows, saying in unison: "This is a secret you must not hear, die! Die immediately!"

Liu Ping stroked his forehead.

The panda idol around his waist kept twitching like crazy and even rolled his eyes.

"Can you hold on?" Liu Ping asked quietly.

The panda took a breath and said, "Thanks to dying sixty thousand times and gaining some experience in advance, I can barely hold on."

Before he finished speaking, it began to twitch continuously again.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The void slowly closed.

All visions disappeared.

Only a line of small words remained in the air:

"Number of deaths: 80,000."

Liu Ping sighed and said to the other side of the door: "Brother Aidou, let's not talk about your life. Let's talk about acting."

"Acting?" The monster opposite asked in surprise.

"Yes," Liu Ping thought for a while and said, "I have always felt that your acting skills are really outstanding. You are the kind of outstanding person who can see everything at a glance. No one can compare with you."

"Have discernment!" said the monster.

Only a line of small words appeared:

"Your words of encouragement make his heart uplifted and proud."

"You obtained 0.1% of its soul power."

"Harvest soul power: 10,000 points."

"You can already upgrade continuously. Do you want to upgrade?"

Liu Ping glanced at it and was immediately overjoyed.

There is no doubt that you can definitely upgrade continuously now!

He was about to say the word "upgrade" when he heard the monster's voice coming from behind the door again:

"Huh? I don't know why, when I talk about acting to you, I actually think of one thing."

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

"Speaking of performances, I do have a strange fraud card that was stolen." The monster behind the door said.

Liu Ping suddenly felt that something was not good and was about to stop him, but it was already too late.

Just listen to the monster recall: "That card seems to be called the Rock of No Existence."

"If that card was still in my hand, then combined with another strange card, maybe we wouldn't necessarily lose to the human race."

In the void, a line of small burning characters suddenly appeared:

"You have heard the secret of unheard nightmares."

"-Please prepare the panda to die."
