Infernal Artist

Liu Ping kept sinking, and a feeling of suffocation gradually arose in his heart.

He reached out and grasped the prison knife at his waist.

——If there is really no way to survive, the best way to deal with it is to activate the "life-suppressing" power of the prison knife to cut out everything happening at the current moment and turn it into a parallel world of destruction.

But the situation doesn't seem to be completely bad yet.

Suddenly, a huge impact hit Liu Ping's arm, and the baby girl immediately fell out of her hand.

Liu Ping was startled, and a shadow immediately emerged from behind, flew forward, caught the baby girl and threw it back.

Liu Ping held the baby girl in his arms and dispersed the "Virtual God" technique.

He looked down at the baby girl.

The baby girl was sleeping soundly, with her little mouth pouting as if she was dreaming about eating.

Yes.

She hasn't had any milk for some time. If possible, I have to find a way to get out of here and feed her milk once.

Liu Ping sighed.

Hua Qingkong has always been kind to herself. When she first entered Yongye, her level stagnated for a time, but she was willing to spend a lot of money to buy herself expensive potions to improve her strength.

The spirit in her body is a human being who specialized in dealing with prisoners in the past.

Not to mention Mizuki, he signed a contract with himself and even helped him complete the strange awakening ritual to reawaken the four holy pillars and provide him with power at any time.

The souls of the three of them are contained in such a small and weak body——

He must not let her have an accident.

At this moment.

The sinking stopped.

There is no bright light here.

A dim, scarlet mist spread everywhere.

Liu Ping looked around and gradually saw his position clearly.

He seemed to be stuck in the gap between the two walls. There was no end in sight from above and below, and there were crimson crystals on the left and right, and nothing else could be seen.

——So Mizuki and the others let themselves step in this direction just to get themselves stuck in the gap in the wall?

Liu Ping held the baby girl in one hand and held the prison knife in the other, silently moving forward.

There were small sounds coming from the two walls on the left and right.

If you put your ear against the wall and listen carefully, you can hear billions of painful whines, groans, cries and begging for mercy.

When you hear it loudly, it's a bit irritating. After listening for a long time, you will find that these sounds rise and fall in a fixed pattern.

That is to say——

The owner of those sounds is still suffering from something.

It's downright creepy.

Liu Ping stepped on the two walls on the left and right, stood in the air, and gradually fell into thought.

——If it was just stuck in a crack in the wall, it would actually be fine. It was not at all like the "death place of nightmares" and "the place of endless tragedy" that the umbrella holder said.

Maybe it was the baby girl's finger that made me discover a glimmer of life?

Liu Ping looked forward and saw what seemed to be a gap at the end of the two walls.

He continued to move forward.

bass!

His arm accidentally hit a raised blood-colored crystal.

This crystal seemed to have some unknown power, and it suddenly knocked Liu Ping to the point where he was so electrified that he could not move. The baby girl in his arms let go again and fell into the bottomless abyss.

"Come help!"

Liu Ping shouted.

The prison-suppressing scabbard moved, and "Virtual God" activated again.

Another shadow appeared behind Liu Ping, and he hurriedly flew down and took the baby girl back.

"Huh - so dangerous."

Liu Ping moved his newly recovered body and took the baby girl from Shadow's hand.

The baby girl is still sleeping.

However, the shadow did not dissipate immediately.

——The shadow is him from a parallel world, summoned by the power of the "virtual god" of the prison-suppressing scabbard.

"Hey, me in this world." Shadow said.

"What?" Liu Ping asked.

"You can't see yourself, so I feel the need to remind you—"

The shadow stretched out his hand, pointed at the top of his head and said: "I am you in the parallel world that separated from you at that moment. If you look at me, you will find your own state at that moment."

Liu Ping looked towards the top of Shadow's head.

I saw a few lines of small words quickly appearing there:

"The obituary order is in effect."

"Curse-like strange power."

"Explanation: This strange power is activated in an extremely secretive way, depriving the cursed person of all power that can save him, and causing him to gradually fall into a certain death situation."

I see!

Liu Ping was shocked, and the scenes that happened before kept flashing before his eyes.

I always wanted the baby girl to go away.

While she was still in the black-haired beauty's body, she gave the AI ​​an order not to leave her.

At the last moment in the room, I almost handed the baby girl to Samantha.

——If the baby girl was not here, she might have been swallowed up by the nightmare underground palace, and she would never be stuck in the crack in the wall.

Even though it was stuck in a crack in the wall, the "obituary" curse made the baby girl let go twice in a row and almost left her.

The baby girl carries the power of destiny!

So "Obituary" always wanted her to leave him!

In other words, the baby girl is the only thing that can save her.

"It turns out that with such power...he almost succeeded."

Liu Ping murmured softly.

"That's right, as long as you noticed it, the strange power of the 'obituary' is still very strong, so you must be careful when dealing with it." Shadow said.

"You too - you are in another parallel world, so you must pay attention." Liu Ping said.

"Now that we all know the existence of 'Obituary', we won't let it succeed." Shadow said.

It dispersed slightly and disappeared from Liu Ping's eyes.

In the crack in the wall, only Liu Ping was left again.

He held the baby girl in one hand, stretched his other hand into the void, and gently twitched——

A card glowing with golden light was drawn.

Card: Burial of the Earth.

Liu Ping threw the card.

For a moment.

Everything around him disappeared, and he stood again in the deserted wilderness, surrounded by tombstones and coffins.

Liu Ping squatted down, put his hands on the ground, and whispered: "Bury!"

Lines of burning small characters appeared quickly:

"You released the card: Burial of the Earth."

"You chose to bury the strange curse on you: obituary."

"——This is the fundamental power of the laws of the earth. It surpasses countless strange and strange powers. It will definitely be able to conquer this strange and strange power!"

A coffin suddenly appeared on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ping felt his body suddenly sink.

He saw a completely black skeleton lying on his shoulder, roaring unwillingly:

"No! I am the emergence of countless ghost laws. I will never be trapped here. I call-"

Before he finished speaking, the coffin on the ground suddenly opened.

Countless iron ropes shot out from the coffin, tied up the dark skeleton, dragged it off Liu Ping's back, and rolled it into the coffin.

The coffin lid rumbled shut.

The entire coffin slowly sank into the ground.

The sound of black skeletons slamming against the coffin kept coming.

A few more breaths passed.

The sound finally died down.

Liu Ping felt inexplicably relaxed all over.

He stood up and carefully recalled everything that had happened before, and a murderous intention surged in his heart.

"This guy with an umbrella keeps giving me trouble..."

——It seems that he and I will have a life-and-death battle.

I don’t know what happened to that guy and why it was related to the nightmare.

The surrounding scenes gradually dissipated.

Liu Ping found himself still between two walls, holding the baby girl in his arms.

He looked down at the baby girl and saw that the baby girl's face was tired, but she seemed to be sleeping more peacefully.

Liu Ping sighed: "Thanks to you - at this critical moment of your integration, I shouldn't let you worry."

The baby girl pouted and made a sucking motion.

——This is hungry!

Looks like we need to find something to eat quickly!

Liu Ping immediately stopped his thoughts and continued to move forward.

The red crystal walls on both sides continued to recede behind him, but there was nothing strange around him, only the various painful sounds that became increasingly clear.

Tens of minutes later.

The two walls closed together in front, leaving only a crack through which the outside scene could barely be seen.

The gash was about as long as a finger.

Liu Ping came up and took a closer look.

It turns out that there is a deep corridor outside the wall, and the heads of various living beings are densely covered in the corridor.

These heads seemed to be suffering from unspeakable pain, and they groaned and wailed from time to time.

The entire passage is made of the heads of living beings. It is not known how long it is and where it leads.

A ghost head shouted crazily: "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts - who can come and save me!"

It looked like it was crazy, its eyes were wandering, and it suddenly looked towards the cracks in the wall.

Liu Ping immediately got out of the way.

The head seemed a little confused, and suddenly stopped talking, looking at the crack carefully.

However, Liu Ping was already hiding under the crack, so naturally nothing could be seen from the ghost's head.

It looked for a while and found nothing, so it opened its mouth again and wailed loudly: "Please, no matter who it is, please come and save me!"

Liu Ping hid in the wall, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then gently shook the prison knife in his hand.

The prison-suppressing knife disappeared immediately, but the Baina knife appeared in his hand.

"You are my former Saber. In the past years, have you seen this situation?" Liu Ping asked via voice message.

"It's the Nightmare Underground Palace - now we're in trouble." Baina Dao said through the message.

"How?" Liu Ping asked.

"There are seven worlds in this underground palace, which are called seven nightmares. Only by becoming the master of nightmares can you leave." Baina Dao said.

"How to become the Lord of Nightmares?" Liu Ping asked.

"First of all, you must completely separate from the camp of all living beings and become a nightmare professional, so that you will not be attacked by it." Baina Dao said.

"Can't I just go to war with them and conquer seven worlds in one go?" Liu Ping asked.

"No, you have tried it in the past era, but as a living being, after you destroyed all the nightmare worlds, you were directly transported to the nightmare outside the eternal night, and had to use the last bit of strength to reincarnate and escape." Baina Dao said.

Liu Ping sighed and said: "I finally know why I wandered and died. It turns out that this is how I die, isn't it?"

"Exactly." Baina Dao said.
