Infernal Artist

It was a sound that transcended limits.

The screams, filled with incomparable despair and fear, echoed through the entire teaching building in an instant.

Everyone stopped what they were doing.

"what happened?"

"Someone is shouting, I don't know what happened!"

The students in the corridor looked at each other and quickly ran towards the classroom.

Liu Ping turned around without hesitation, mingled with the crowd and came to the classroom door, looking inside.

I saw a male classmate standing on a chair, looking around with an apologetic expression:

"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I just fell asleep on the table and had a nightmare."

The squad leader said angrily: "Chen Xiaoming, do you know what you are doing? What you did just now made everyone worried!"

The male classmate apologized profusely: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it."

It turned out to be a dream!

"cut!"

"coward!"

"It's so scary, it turns out it was just a dream!"

The onlookers were bored and dispersed.

At this time, the teachers also came. After learning the whole story, they asked about it. When they saw that nothing happened, they gave a few words of education and left.

Liu Ping glanced at the boy named Chen Xiaoming, and saw two lines of small words appearing above his head:

"Unknown body (parasite)."

"After the soul is eaten, the body is left empty and completely occupied by the unknown body."

Liu Ping didn't hesitate, turned around and walked towards the office at the end of the corridor.

Shouldn't the real world be under the protection of the prison knife?

According to the Prison Suppressing Knife, before the birth of the dimension card——

The real world should be safe!

Why are there bronze pillars and unknown bodies running out?

suddenly.

The voice of the prison knife rang in his heart:

"Don't ask me anything, I can't say a word."

"Why?" Liu Pingmo asked.

"Because there is no scabbard!" The Prison Suppressing Knife said with emotion. "Without the scabbard, you cannot be protected by me and cannot directly hear the truth of everything."

scabbard?

Liu Ping recalled that the scabbard of the prison sword had a unique power called silence.

"——Those who hold this sword can hear all secrets and have nothing to fear."

It seems that I have to speed up my search for clues.

The office door is open.

Liu Ping knocked on the door anyway and shouted: "Report to the teacher!"

"Come in."

Liu Ping walked in and stood in front of the head teacher's desk.

"The work-study application has been received. Take a look at this form and sign it if you have any questions."

"Okay, thank you teacher."

Liu Ping thanked him.

——How can I have time for work-study?

At that time, the bronze pillar appeared outside the classroom. In order to cover up his strange expression, he said that he wanted to work-study.

Okay.

This dug a hole for himself.

It is not advisable to regret suddenly, it is very easy to arouse suspicion, especially when the unknown body has become one's classmate.

The slightest difference may attract its attention.

Liu Ping picked up the form and read it carefully.

It's quite relaxing.

Starting today, we will clean the martial arts field after school and tidy up the public storage room and warehouse.

There are 600 yuan per month.

As long as you complete this job, you can also receive a relief subsidy for poor students from the school, which is about 800 yuan.

The total is 1,400, which is enough for one person's living expenses.

Liu Ping signed and said again:

"Thank you teacher for giving me this opportunity."

The head teacher received the form and said with a smile:

"Study hard and try to get into a good university. Go ahead."

"yes."

Liu Ping walked out of the office, returned to the classroom again, and sat down in his seat.

The bronze pillars outside the window are still shrouded in mist.

No more monsters appeared on the bronze pillars, only an unknown body named "Chen Xiaoming" blended into the crowd.

Liu Ping suddenly felt a little strange.

The pillars of Purgatory and Eternal Night are filled with heroic spirits, and they are pillars that protect the world.

The feeling that this bronze pillar gives me is almost the same as that of the Eternal Night Divine Pillar, but why does an unknown body appear from above?

Liu Ping closed his eyes and quietly recalled every scene that had happened before.

At the beginning.

The bronze pillar did not appear.

It suddenly appeared after he used his soul power to activate the frost cage.

Could this bronze pillar be able to sense the power fluctuations on the mysterious side?

Liu Ping talked to his deskmate and stared at the unknown person named Chen Xiaoming out of the corner of his eye.

I saw him lying on the table, motionless.

The door on the top of his head suddenly split open on both sides, and a floating eyeball stuck out.

This eyeball slowly moved and scanned the entire classroom.

No one noticed.

Jingle Bell--

The school bell rang.

The students stood up one after another and walked out of the classroom.

"This is a physical education class, we have to meet downstairs!" His deskmate patted Liu Ping on the shoulder.

"Okay, let's go." Liu Ping said with a smile.

The two stood up and walked out of the classroom with other students.

Chen Xiaoming was still lying on the table.

Someone greeted him: "Let's go, Chen Xiaoming, it's time for physical education class."

Chen Xiaoming remained silent.

The man came over and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to ask for leave?"

"Please... take leave, please help me take a leave." Chen Xiaoming said numbly.

"Okay." The classmate said.

Liu Ping listened silently and soon left the classroom with other students.

He stood on the playground recalling everything that had just happened.

Everyone has left the classroom.

But the unknown body remained motionless.

I always feel like it's there.

What's in the classroom?

Everyone left and came down for physical education class.

There is no one for it to search.

They are all a group of high school students, and there is nothing valuable enough.

etc!

Could it be said that it is guarding the bronze pillar?

It might go something like this:

He activated his soul power and released the frost spell containing mysterious power, suppressing several boys at once.

The bronze pillar sensed the mysterious power and appeared in front of him.

The unknown body guarding the bronze pillar immediately began to investigate, looking for the existence calling the bronze pillar.

By some mistake, it found Chen Xiaoming.

It mistakenly thought that Chen Xiaoming was the person who called the bronze pillar, so it ate Chen Xiaoming's soul and parasitized in Chen Xiaoming's body.

Now.

After it ate the soul and took over the body, it should have obtained Chen Xiaoming's memory and realized that it had made a mistake.

So it continues to guard the bronze pillar!

It is waiting for the person who really called the bronze pillar to appear!

Liu Ping thought carefully for a moment and felt that this guess was most likely correct.

When the unknown body left the bronze pillar, I immediately felt that there was no threat to the bronze pillar, and there was even a feeling of wanting to get close to it.

——This feeling is very familiar, just like the Pillar of Eternal Night.

So……

If you get close to the bronze pillar...

Chen Xiaoming will definitely kill himself and then devour his soul.

It's a pity that the ability of "seeing and hearing is like a name" only sees that it is a parasite of Chen Xiaoming's body, but does not see its specific level.

If you really can't beat it, you'll be in trouble.

...We have to find a way to lure it away.

Liu Ping thought silently, and before he knew it, the physical education class was over.

The bell rang again.

"After school!"

Someone cheered.

The students walked towards the school gate in twos and threes.

The entire teaching building is full of students coming downstairs after school.

Several students came over and asked, "Is it Liu Ping?"

"It's me." Liu Ping said.

"We are all work-study students. Today you are responsible for cleaning the warehouse. How about it?"

"OK."

Liu Ping took the key, walked through the playground and came to the warehouse.

He carefully cleaned the walls and floor, then returned to the playground and handed the keys to a responsible classmate.

"It will still be the same time tomorrow." The classmate said.

"Okay, I won't be late." Liu Ping said.

He looked towards the teaching building with his peripheral vision.

By this time, the teaching building was basically empty of people.

Chen Xiaoming stood in the corridor and stared coldly at the entire campus.

All of Liu Ping's things were placed in the classroom. At this time, he could only go upstairs and return to the classroom to pack his things.

He walked up the steps step by step, thoughts constantly popping up in his mind.

Although the unknown body is strong, it has found the wrong person.

This proves that it cannot sense people who truly possess the mysterious side of power, and can only pass constant testing.

The bronze pillar was very sensitive. As soon as he released the mysterious side of the spell, it immediately appeared and came closer.

The unknown body followed the bronze pillar.

Wherever the bronze pillar is, it will guard there and will not let anyone get close to it.

Is there any way to avoid it? How can I get close to the bronze pillar?

Liu Ping walked to the fifth floor.

This is the floor where their class is located.

He walked along the corridor to the classroom door and greeted Chen Xiaoming:

"I haven't gone home yet."

Chen Xiaoming looked at him and grinned: "Could it be you I'm waiting for?"

"Me? Do you have anything to do with me?" Liu Ping asked.

"Everyone is saying that you defeated several classmates easily. Thinking about it this way, your strength must be very impressive."

Chen Xiaoming moved his body and carefully observed Liu Ping's expression.

Liu Ping sighed silently in his heart.

The previous incident indeed attracted the attention of this monster.

"Liu Ping, let's fight once and let me see how powerful you are." He said.

Liu Ping said: "The teacher has specifically told me not to let me fight again - if you really want to fight, wait until the martial arts class."

"No, you can only fight with me today, unless you want to die."

Chen Xiaoming walked slowly towards Liu Ping.

Liu Ping smiled and said: "If you really want to fight -"

He suddenly closed his mouth.

Chen Xiaoming also stopped and slowly looked back.

At the other end of the corridor, Zhao Xiao and seven or eight boys were walking towards the two of them.

Zhao Xiao followed a burly boy with tattoos on his body, pointed at Liu Ping and said:

"Brother Ma, this is the transfer student. We told him that we wanted to give him a confession, but he didn't listen."

The burly boy spit out the cigarette butt on the ground and said with a faint smile: "Very good, I will let him know who is the boss of this school."
