Infernal Artist

Chapter 337

Bang!

The card disappears.

In the darkness, everything became quiet.

The goblins seemed startled and looked around.

When they discovered that there were no unexpected events around them, they immediately got involved in various games again.

Liu Ping floated in the air and waited for a few breaths.

"Strange, why is there no response?" He said to himself.

"What exactly does this card do?" Yana asked.

"It can, let - time - time - -"

Liu Ping was answering, but found that his speaking speed was getting slower and slower.

Everything around him became so sluggish that all sounds disappeared, and even the running fairies stopped in mid-air.

Silently, the void gradually filled with golden quicksand.

Yellow sand filled all the space, tightly wrapped Liu Ping, and dragged him very deep downwards.

I don’t know how much time passed——

The bottom suddenly became empty.

Liu Ping fell lightly and stood on an ancient stone platform.

He looked around.

I saw endless void outside the stone platform, and there was only a black stone tablet on the stone platform.

There are two big characters written on the stone tablet:

"No beginning."

Liu Ping's eyes fell on the stone tablet, and he was pondering the meaning of these two words. Suddenly, the void around him began to change.

Boundless floods surged from below the stone platform, completely submerging the entire stone platform in an instant.

The world turned into an endless ocean abyss.

Liu Ping looked at the stone tablet again, only to find that it was completely gone.

Immediately afterwards, the stone platform also disappeared.

It was as if there was a huge force pulling him, causing him to fall continuously towards the abyss of the seabed.

Keep falling.

Falling.

Liu Ping had no idea how much time had passed. Time seemed to have become meaningless.

suddenly.

He found that vague things gradually appeared in the deep sea around him.

--Door.

In the abyss, doors one after another appear in a spiral shape, extending endlessly downward.

These doors are all white, with numbers written on them:

"Real World Year 1539;"

"Real World Year 1538;"

"Real World Year 1537;"

"..."

The further down you go, the earlier the year is on the white door.

I don’t know when.

The force pulling Liu Ping disappeared.

He floated quietly in the deep sea, with closed doors all around him.

"Shall I choose a year and enter the real world?"

Liu Ping thought to himself and swam deeper.

——Since we have such an opportunity, let’s go to the first year of the real world to see how human beings were born.

He kept diving deep.

After an unknown amount of time, the numbers on those doors gradually became smaller and finally stayed at "The 1000th Year in the Real World".

Further down, the abyss turns completely dark black, making it impossible to see anything.

Liu Ping tried to touch the bottom of "The 1000th Year in the Real World".

He touched an iron door.

Liu Ping dived down, pressed the iron door and groped for a while, and finally had to give up.

——The iron door is completely sealed, and the door is wrapped with dense iron ropes, making it impossible to open it.

It seems that the first 1,000 years of the real world are inaccessible to prying eyes and inaccessible.

So.

In the long river of time, which door should I enter?

You can't go in and take a look at every door.

——You can’t finish it at all.

Liu Ping was hesitating when he suddenly remembered that he had seen some unusual doors during his dive.

The figure moved upwards with a slight movement.

After swimming for a while, he passed dozens of doors and stopped in front of one.

"Real World Year 1023."

I saw a circle drawn with a black pen on the door, and a line of small words written next to it:

"First time."

who?

What?

What exactly did it show up for the first time?

Liu Ping's curiosity was aroused and he gently pressed his hand on the door handle.

Click——

The door handle is movable, which means the door can be opened!

Liu Ping gently opened the door.

Lines of burning small characters jumped out instantly:

"Attention, you are entering the 1023rd year of the real world!"

"This matter is extremely secret, so all your followers will be deprived of all memories related to it after leaving this year, otherwise they will die."

"Discover available identities."

"——This identity has been used to enter the 1023rd year!"

The turbulent seawater enveloped Liu Ping and rushed him in the moment the door opened.

…

The salty sea breeze blows.

Liu Ping opened his eyes and found that he was wearing a tattered white shirt and was sitting with several people eating together.

"Ah Hong is crazy."

Said a boy as thin as a monkey.

Liu Ping looked at him, then glanced at the others.

These people all looked to be in their late teens or late teens, with tanned skin. They were sitting around in an abandoned stone house, stewing fish in an iron pot.

"My family has told us not to go near A Hong's house recently, as Poseidon will come soon to take the lives of his whole family." said a tall young man.

"Pooh!"

The young man from before said disdainfully, "Ah Hong fell into the sea while fishing, and the back of his head hit the bottom of the boat - I went to see Ah Hong, and the wound on the back of his head was really, tsk tsk!"

"Then why does he keep shouting that there is something in the water?" the tall boy said unconvinced.

"Of course there is something in the water! They went to Nanwang Reef to catch big fish that day. If they hadn't seen the big fish underwater, would Ah Hong have hurriedly used the harpoon?"

The skinny monkey boy turned his head, stared at Liu Ping and said, "Brother Liu, do you think so?"

"Yes." Liu Ping said.

He looked toward the door and saw a wooden door lying on the outside. The walls inside the room had long been smoked gray. There was no furniture, only a mess on the floor.

This is an abandoned stone house.

On the seaside, such houses are more resistant to dangerous weather erosion than wooden structures.

Very original and very effective.

But what exactly happened during this year?

Liu Ping fell into thinking.

The teenagers who were a little scared at first relaxed.

The skinny monkey boy fished out a piece of fish in the iron pot, put it in his bowl, and said vaguely while eating the rice:

"We are all brothers, and we have always said we should be loyal-"

His eyes fell on the tall boy.

The tall boy blushed and said loudly: "Who is not loyal? The fish you are eating was the one I caught last night."

The skinny monkey boy looked away, lowered his head and ate happily, and said: "Anyway, I have already visited Ah Hong, unlike you cowards."

A boy who looked to be only seven or eight years old said: "The adults in the family refused to let him go. They said that if Hong was fine for three days, then the ghosts in the sea would spare his life. Otherwise, whoever goes to see him will be killed by the ghosts in the sea." take away."

The skinny monkey boy put down the bowl and said disdainfully: "Where are the ghosts? If there are ghosts, who would dare to go fishing in the sea? You are coaxed by adults every day."

He looked at Liu Ping and said, "Brother Liu, do you think so?"

The teenagers all looked at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping smiled and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a person appear at the door.

They say they are human, but they are not human.

It had a human body, but its whole body was covered with sticky fish scales, and it was dripping wet, as if it had just risen from the sea.

The monster walked step by step behind the thin monkey boy, stood still, and looked at him silently.

The teenagers were unaware of anything.

The skinny monkey boy twisted his neck uncomfortably.

——No one among the seven or eight people saw the monster.

Liu Ping smiled and said, "Stop talking about such silly things and eat quickly. It will be dark soon and we have to go back quickly."

The teenagers thought the same thing, lowered their heads one after another, and finished the fish soup in their bowls.

Liu Ping was eating the fish while observing the monster with his peripheral vision.

——It looks like a former boy, but its face, body, and limbs are all covered with fish scales.

While the teenagers were eating and drinking, the monster took a few steps forward, lay on the back of the skinny monkey boy, and then stopped moving.

Suddenly there was a cry outside.

The teenagers all fell silent.

The whole village seemed to come alive, making all kinds of noisy sounds.

People's shouts and discussions were mixed with an indescribable anxiety and fear.

"I gonna go see."

A short boy dropped his bowl and ran out.

Soon.

He ran back with a pale face and trembled: "A Hong is dead."

"Go home, everyone takes their own things, everyone goes home!" Liu Ping said.

The teenagers suddenly panicked.

For a moment, someone was carrying an iron pot, someone was taking a bowl, someone was extinguishing the firewood, and the young people dispersed in a hurry.

Everyone intentionally or unintentionally avoided the skinny monkey boy and returned home in a hurry.

Under Liu Ping's gaze, the skinny monkey boy snorted coldly, held his head high, and walked towards his home.

He didn't know he was carrying a monster on his back.

Even the adults passing by along the way didn't notice anything strange.

Liu Ping sighed and suddenly remembered the unknown body with bloody hands he met in the classroom when he arrived in the real world last time.

Maybe the so-called "first appearance" refers to the first appearance of an unknown body in the real world?

He felt something and turned to look at the wall.

I saw lines of small words quickly appearing on the wall:

"Real world, year 1023, one day."

"On this day in history, everyone in the entire fishing village died."

"—You have arrived at this day."

Three lines.
