Infernal Artist

Camp.

In the wilderness outside the camp, two figures came from a distance.

"They're back."

"I saw it, what do you say? Do you want to start fighting directly?"

"No, no one knows who's meritorious service number right now. We'll see what happens."

"good."

In the camp, the four people who stayed behind communicated silently.

A few minutes later.

The two figures walked into the camp.

Liu Ping.

Alande.

Both of them looked a little tired, as if they had been through many battles.

This time.

When they walked into the camp, no one came around to call Alan "boss" or flatter him.

Alande himself was not impressed either.

He just followed Liu Ping until he walked to the bonfire, then stood silently.

"Sit down and rest, it will be twelve o'clock in a while."

Liu Ping said.

After hearing this, Alande immediately sat down in front of the campfire and asked, "Do you have any other instructions?"

"there is none left."

Liu Ping closed his eyes, silently adjusted his breath, transferred his spiritual energy, and accumulated strength for the next advancement.

The four people who were watching with cold eyes were a little surprised.

Alande is a sword master!

Even if he loses all his merits, he still has his own pride.

Why did you surrender to this boy after only one day?

The spell master Lao Jiu couldn't help but ask:

"Arland, what happened? How did the assassin and sniper die?"

Alande said: "While exploring, I was killed by a ghost."

"What ghost?"

"A law of cause and effect."

"Then this is why you lost your qualification as captain?"

"Yes."

"I see……"

Several people were a little undecided.

If everyone wanted to take revenge on Alande at the beginning, now seeing the relationship between the two, they are a little weird.

In addition, Alande looks weird, so it is not wise to provoke him now.

If he really has a mental problem, once a fight breaks out, he will probably fight tooth and nail without any scruples.

Everyone has figured out this problem.

Silence fell gradually in the camp.

Liu Ping, who was practicing with his eyes closed, suddenly said: "Does any of you know where the melee mage went?"

Several people looked at each other.

"Have you met an enemy? Is it a melee mage?" Lao Jiu asked.

"...It's okay." Liu Ping said.

Ever since Delia disappeared, all information about her seemed to have evaporated without any trace.

No one in the advance team of the expeditionary force remembered Delia at all.

Such a method is very clever, even among the weird ones, it is extremely rare.

But...the Dragon Clan has made so many preparations, for what purpose?

Liu Ping thought and glanced at the void casually.

A few lines of burning small words still stay there:

"Your Ten Thousand Dragon Roar exerts 1000% effect on Alan."

"Alain is completely impressed by you."

"This effect will last until he removes his helmet or dies."

Liu Ping sighed.

In any case, in short, Arland has been taken care of, and now he only needs to wait for the expeditionary force's meritorious service to be settled.

After a while.

In front of the bonfire, everyone's Expeditionary Force interface lit up.

Lines of small characters appeared in front of everyone’s eyes:

"time up."

"Today the merits begin to be settled."

"Since the team has lost its captain, this sequence will directly display the merits you have obtained."

"The last-place elimination system will still be adopted."

"Since more than one member of the team died in the battle, their merits have been reset to zero, and their bodies and souls have been returned to the transformation pool."

"The settlement of today's merits has been completed."

"At six o'clock tomorrow morning, this sequence will once again allocate manpower to join the advance team to replenish your combat power."

All the small characters stayed for a minute and then slowly disappeared.

In front of the bonfire, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

"Aland, now that you are no longer the captain, do you have any new ideas?"

Someone said jokingly.

"What else can he do? To become the captain, you need to pay 1,000 points of merit. From today on, he is finished!" Another team member laughed.

Alande was unmoved.

Suddenly, a new prompt appeared on everyone’s expeditionary force interface:

"Aland paid 1,000 merit points in exchange for the position of advance team: captain."

"From now on, Alan will be the captain of the advance team."

There was silence all around.

1000 points of merit!

Didn't he lose all his merits?

What's going on?

unless--

Unless he discovered some treasure and handed it over directly to the headquarters!

Treasure! ! !

Everyone's eyes suddenly became hot.

But at this moment, no one dared to mess with Alande anymore.

They set their sights on Liu Ping.

"Boy..." Lao Jiu said in a deep voice.

Liu Ping closed his eyes, patted his knees and said, "A new day has arrived. Everyone needs merit, Alan."

"Yes." Alande responded.

He immediately faced the four team members and said: "A new day has arrived. Now I order you to keep walking eastward, looking for any possible opportunity to obtain meritorious service, and you cannot return until noon."

"This is not fair. You have all come back to rest. Why do you want us to go out in the middle of the night?" A soldier said in a muffled voice.

Alande said expressionlessly:

"Perform the mission - if you resist, I will deduct your merit for disobedience."

The soldier was furious, but there was nothing he could do about Alande.

——He became the captain again!

In the military, resisting one's superiors is a very serious matter, and at the most severe cases, one's meritorious deeds will be deducted, while at the most serious cases, one will be directly entered into the transformation pool.

"Okay, boss, don't be angry, we'll go right away." Lao Jiu stepped forward, grabbed the soldier, and said with a sorry smile.

He winked at the other two.

The four people quickly packed up and walked out of the camp with their equipment.

Alande stared at these people quietly until their figures disappeared into the wilderness.

"They must not be willing to give in." Alande said.

"Don't worry about them, I want to sleep for a while and you keep watch." Liu Ping said.

"Yes." Alande said.

Liu Ping snapped his fingers.

The rabbit also appeared and landed quietly on his shoulder.

Liu Ping took out the card book again and placed it on the ground in front of him.

"Don't worry." Rabbit and Lilith said in unison.

Liu Ping then adjusted his sitting posture again and began to try to enter the dreamland.

He kept breathing evenly, and after ten breaths——

suddenly.

Everything around him disappeared.

Liu Ping found that he seemed to be pulled by a force, constantly flying towards the void outside the Eternal Night Pillar.

I don’t know how much time passed.

It was as if I had entered a passage full of light.

All darkness fades.

Immediately afterwards, a voice sounded:

"Delia is the first heroic spirit that Andrea has found from the nightmare world."

"In the blank history, she foresaw her own death, met with you, and decided that she could give you this extremely important opportunity."

"She was willing to give up everything and follow Andrea from now on."

Scenes from the past quietly appeared.

Liu Ping saw a woman covered in stars whispering to him in a manor:

"I still remember when we first met, I bought you a drink - I didn't expect that so much time has passed."

At that moment, I responded: "Yes."

"If you need any help, remember to come to me." The woman said.

"Okay." I said at that moment.

While speaking, the woman turned sideways, avoiding Liu Ping at that moment, and turned to reveal her front in front of Liu Ping at this moment.

It's Delia!

This is the manor of the man who is in charge of all things strange!

After a while, the manor owner will order Delia to be killed!

But seeing her calm expression, she sent a message to Liu Ping: "I will die here, and then be rescued by you. From now on, everything that happens to me will become nothing."

"No wonder I said that everyone seems to have forgotten you. It turns out that you did not arrive in the future, but died at this moment! But how did this happen?" Liu Ping said.

"This is the power of the Holy Spirit. She descended on me with full power and released the mysterious technique of the Holy Spirit: the body of nothingness." Delia said.

"Nothing?"

"Yes, this technique allows me to endure unfounded things and will not leave any traces in history." Delia said quickly.

"What do you need me to do?" Liu Ping asked quickly.

"The Dragon Clan is about to launch a surprise attack to attract the attention of the manor owner." Delia said.

"Then?" Liu Ping asked.

"You need to take the opportunity to sneak into the manor and steal my body - the Holy Spirit is with my body, and she maintains the non-existent body."

Delia lowered her voice and said: "When you take my body away, it is equivalent to taking away the Holy Spirit, and no one will know about it from now on!"

Liu Ping held his breath and thought about it for a while.

The other person is telling the truth.

——After Andrea regained her memory, she actually awakened such a technique!

In history and in the future, she caused a dead melee mage to vanish into thin air. No one will remember it, and no one will know about it.

What on earth is she going to do?

At this time, a white-haired old man poked his head out of the gate of the manor.

"Quiet." The old man said, "Wait here - the master is having a banquet, but since you have arrived, I will ask the master for instructions on how to handle your affairs."

After saying that, he closed the door again.

At this time, the rain was pouring down, and melodious music came from the gate. You could even hear the whispers and laughter of many people.

The time for Delia's death is getting closer.

"Go back, back to your time, the Dragon Clan will soon challenge the manor owner." Delia said.

"Andrea thinks I have a chance to steal your body?" Liu Ping asked.

"You are in charge of the most powerful power: deception. Only you have that possibility - maybe you can deceive everyone in the manor and take away my body." Delia said.

Suddenly, the old man's voice sounded:

"Master, they are here."

A voice full of laughter then sounded: "That woman deserves to die."

"Yes." The old man said.

Delia's head was immediately chopped off, and her whole body slowly fell to the ground.

at the same time.

Liu Ping felt a sudden tug of great force, dragging himself out of the past and instantly returning to the future——

His eyes shot open.

The campground was quiet.

Only the burning wood branches in the bonfire made a crackling sound from time to time.

"I'm obviously sleeping very deeply. Is this a nightmare?" Rabbit asked with concern.

"It's okay...I'm afraid I need to sleep for a while..."

Liu Ping yawned and closed his eyes again.

A few more breaths passed.

A line of burning small words quietly emerged:

"The Dragon Clan is ready."

The whole world faded away again.

Liu Ping found himself sitting on a carriage, surrounded by several men and women in formal wear.

"Hello Liu Ping." The leader was wearing a mask of a sleeping evil spirit.

"Hello." Liu Ping said.

His eyes passed over several people's faces.

——These people either wear skull masks or moon masks, and they are all beings who have dealt with Andrea.

It turns out they are dragons!

"Time is running out. You put on this dress. When you enter the manor, the banquet will just begin. We will launch an attack and lure away the manor owner." The dragon wearing a devil mask said.

"Then I will steal the body." Liu Ping said.

"Yes." The other party nodded.

Liu Ping began to change clothes and continued to ask: "Why did Andrea do this?"

"No one knows, but we choose to believe her." The dragon wearing the mask of the Sleeping Evil Ghost said.

"Why?"

"Because she has awakened, she is a spirit from the Holy World - she is the only hope."

This is true!

I have been looking for her for a long time.

Liu Ping quickly put on his dress and looked quite like that.

The other party handed him an invitation and a rabbit mask.

"Tonight is a masquerade party, and your spirit is the Lord of Eternal Night, so we made this mask."

"Who am I?" Liu Ping put on his mask and asked.

"A vicious dragon king - one who could find treasure better than any dragon - rest assured, he is dead."

After the other party finished speaking, he nodded to him and disappeared together with several others.

The carriage continued to drive forward for a while and stopped at the gate of the manor.

"Welcome, distinguished guest."

At the entrance of the manor, a waiter opened the car door and said politely.

Liu Ping looked at the invitation in his hand, suddenly smiled and said:

"It's a nice day today, isn't it?"

The waiter looked up at the sky.

Dark clouds rolled in, lightning flashed and thunder thundered.

A heavy rain is coming.

"Yes, Your Excellency," the waiter said politely.

Liu Ping nodded with satisfaction.

He got off the carriage and walked toward the manor gracefully.
