Infernal Artist

"Medea, you look a little strange."

The silver-haired old man frowned.

Medea smiled and said: "Huh? Is there something wrong with my makeup? Sorry, I'll tidy it up a little and come back to see the two adults later."

She bowed, stepped back, opened the door to the secret room and walked out.

The door closes.

Medea looked down at the hem of her skirt.

"Ah...how could I make such a stupid mistake?"

She murmured in confusion.

An unnatural look flashed across her face.

In the secret room.

Liu Ping lowered his head and shook the ice cubes in the wine glass, remaining silent.

The silver-haired old man also looked at the cigar in his hand in concentration.

Just now--

Medea's skirt was stained with some dark blood stains, but she didn't notice it.

That is the devil's blood.

Did she enjoy eating too much?

Or has the power gained beyond its limit, causing her to forget her form?

In short, when she appeared in the secret room in such a way, the tacit understanding had been broken to a certain extent.

——Neither the silver-haired old man nor Liu Ping could turn a blind eye to this matter.

With their level of strength, it would take almost only an instant to deduce everything that happened to Medea.

The silver-haired old man finally put the cigar in his mouth and took a puff, exhaling the smoke and saying: "She is crazy...it was obviously a party, but she did something like this..."

Liu Ping said with some waning interest: "Things here are no longer interesting. Do you want to continue playing cards with me?"

"Why don't you fight - let's ignore her. Besides, I've just become interested." The silver-haired old man put his hand on the card book.

Cards jumped out of the card book one by one and floated in the air, allowing him to choose.

Liu Ping's expression suddenly changed.

In the dark, he sensed that three cards in his card book suddenly disappeared.

Li Changxue.

Yana.

Maria.

——Where have they gone?

Lilith's voice suddenly sounded: "Liu Ping, what's wrong, the three of them said they wanted to duel, Li Changxue opened a space channel, and Yana and Maria followed."

Liu Ping was startled and suddenly realized what he was doing.

its not right.

How could they go to a duel at this time?

"Did they say anything before they left?" Liu Ping asked immediately.

"Li Changxue left a jade slip for you, saying that you would understand it after reading it," Lilith said.

A jade slip appeared in Liu Ping's hand.

Liu Ping glanced inside and saw a sentence left on the jade slip:

"When you pretend you don't know a ghost is around, the ghost will pretend it doesn't exist."

The delicate lower-case letters are quite murderous, making people think of Li Changxue's magnanimity when wielding his sword.

But the content of this sentence is a bit creepy.

When Liu Ping finished reading, they all disappeared and were replaced by two other lines of somewhat messy words:

"Let's deal with the ghost."

"You must hold on until we come back."

ghost--

Liu Ping suddenly remembered that Luo Xingchen and Bai Lang didn't even dare to stay in that underground passage for a long time.

They are also quite powerful professionals, and they are definitely ranked among the best in Purgatory and Eternal Night.

Liu Ping was thinking when two voices suddenly sounded in his ears:

"They left, we stayed to protect you."

——This is the white wolf.

Followed by Luo Xingchen:

"This is how the division of labor is divided. Liu Ping, don't be surprised. You must deal with it calmly until the matter here is completely over."

Liu Ping held the jade slip tightly.

The next moment, lines of burning small characters suddenly appeared in front of my eyes:

"warn!"

"When you returned from the nightmare layer, something came back with you."

"Although it has been led away by Li Changxue and others, during its short stay, a hole has been corroded by this existence in time and space."

"On the other side of the hole is the world of nightmare."

"Space begins to lock."

“The nightmare layer resonates with the current world of the Manor.”

"Duration: 12 hours."

"Please ensure that you survive. After 12 hours, the hole in time and space will disappear and everything will return to normal."

Collect all the fine print.

Liu Ping suddenly felt murderous intent.

"Damn..."

he whispered.

I only have the Qi refining period!

After returning from countless time, I only have the Qi refining period!

Therefore, in the nightmare world, even when danger comes, he cannot detect it.

It was Li Changxue, Yana, and Maria who stood up, attracted the "ghost"'s attention, and then took it away directly.

I can't help at all!

Liu Ping closed his eyes, letting his mind calm down, and said softly: "It seems that our gambling is going to be suspended for a while."

The silver-haired old man was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed.

"Spatial confinement...why did Medea's manor have this effect..."

He murmured, opening a light door and trying to walk in.

But it's no use.

The moment the light door opened, it immediately closed.

Can't leave!

The silver-haired old man was silent for a few breaths and then said, "This weird feeling seems to be the breath of the lower world escaping."

"Yes, you suggested that we explore the nightmare world. As a result, time and space were corroded by the nightmare world. I guess something will appear soon." Liu Ping said.

The silver-haired old man's eyes flashed with complicated emotions.

The next moment.

Bai Lang and Luo Xingchen suddenly appeared behind Liu Ping, looking at the silver-haired old man warily.

"What? Do you think it was me?"

Liu Ping held the wine glass and said in a joking tone.

Sudden.

A hysterical scream sounded in the distance.

——This voice came from outside the secret room, and it sounded like the devils who were responsible for serving in the manor.

The murderous intent disappeared from the silver-haired old man, and he suddenly laughed and said in an apologetic tone: "It seems that there is something wrong with my divination. This is really strange. It is obviously going to be fruitful, but I accidentally caused trouble..."

Liu Ping was about to answer when he suddenly saw a hole in the void, and a long tentacle with eyes stretched out and wrapped around the silver-haired old man's neck.

The silver-haired old man's body suddenly erupted with black light. He stretched out his hand and cut off the entire tentacle.

A sharp voice suddenly sounded from the void rift: "What a tempting food, it's you, don't even think about running away!"

The silver-haired old man's expression changed several times, and he became nervous for the first time.

"The power of the demons in purgatory, seal it!"

he shouted loudly.

The noisy sounds in the void rift disappeared, and the rift disappeared.

In an instant, the secret room returned to silence.

But the two people in the secret room looked at each other and knew that there would never be any quiet time again.

"It's useless. I guess it will soon open a channel and appear in front of us again." Liu Ping said.

The silver-haired old man waved his hand.

The entire secret room suddenly dispersed into fine dust.

The scene outside suddenly appeared before their eyes.

On the grass, in the corridor, in the room——

Dark cracks appeared in many places, looking like evil eyes embedded in the void.

Tentacles with eyes protruded from the cracks, quickly piercing the bodies of one devil after another, making a "sizzling" sound.

In this sound, the devils seemed to be sucked dry, and their entire bodies disappeared, leaving only a thin skin.

Any resistance and any magical attack will have no effect.

The only thing all the devils can do is to watch their bodies being penetrated by tentacles, and then their flesh and blood is sucked dry.

"It eats very quickly." The silver-haired old man said with narrowed eyes.

"There's more than one here," Liu Ping said.

"If you want to save your life in front of the nightmare monster - we need to exchange each other's thoughts, what do you think?" the silver-haired old man suggested.

"You say it first," Liu Ping said.

"Only extremely advanced strange powers can work on nightmare creatures, but they cannot kill them." The silver-haired old man said.

"Please, this is something everyone knows. Can you change it?" Liu Ping said disdainfully.

"Okay - our attack will definitely attract their attention, and they will think that we have caught a big fish, so we'd better not use other than strange abilities." The silver-haired old man said.

"This information is good, so the information I can exchange is-these space channels in the nightmare layer will last for 12 hours." Liu Ping said.

"Very good, I do vaguely feel that this kind of space crack will not always exist." The silver-haired old man agreed.

Their eyes met.

"It seems we need to join hands to face the enemy." The silver-haired old man raised his glass.

"Yes, it is definitely not a good idea to deal with such a situation alone." Liu Ping also raised his glass.

The next moment.

A huge dark crack appeared not far away.

I saw a dark gray tentacle that exuded a dim and decaying aura sticking out.

Its smooth and mucus-filled skin had small cracks and gradually opened, revealing the densely packed eyes inside.

This penetrating tentacle moved slowly towards the silver-haired old man.

The silver-haired old man suddenly said: "Go and eat the guy opposite me."

A strange wave quietly spread out from his body.

——Advanced strange ability: Encourage!

The dark gray tentacle paused for a moment before changing its direction in the air and heading towards Liu Ping.

Liu Ping looked at the silver-haired old man.

A trace of apology appeared on the silver-haired old man's face, and he raised his glass to Liu Ping again.

Liu Ping smiled silently and said, "I'm not delicious at all - go eat the guy opposite me, he's very delicious food."

A strange wave of the same level spread out from him.

——Advanced strange ability: deception!

The dark gray tentacle paused again, changed direction again, and reached towards the silver-haired old man.

Liu Ping drank the wine in one gulp and raised the empty glass towards the silver-haired old man.

The expression of the silver-haired old man changed.
