Infernal Artist

Under night.

Alande walked back and forth around the campfire.

Rabbit squatted on Liu Ping's shoulder, his eyes moving as he moved.

"I said, could you stop for a moment?" it said.

"What?" Alande responded.

"You keep walking around and turning around, making me dizzy." Rabbit complained.

Alande observed the surroundings vigilantly and said, "It's almost six o'clock, and he's still sleeping."

"What does this have to do with anything?" said Rabbit.

"——At six o'clock, the headquarters will send new professionals to join the advance team." Alande said.

"You are the captain, what are you afraid of?" Rabbit said, spreading his hands.

"The casualties have been serious recently. I don't know how the headquarters will react. I'm afraid that the higher-ups will use some tricks that I don't know about." Alande said worriedly.

Rabbit thought for a while and said, "You are worried about your status."

"Of course! Isn't this obvious?" Alan said.

"Then what are you watching him do while walking?" Rabbit asked curiously.

"It was he who came up with some rare treasures to help me regain the captaincy - next, I need his support to have the confidence to deal with the upcoming situation." Arland said.

Rabbit looked at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping was still asleep.

Alande's expression suddenly changed, he looked up at the sky and said: "At six o'clock sharp, the order from the headquarters is coming."

Deep in the sky, a ray of light fell rapidly.

Alande originally watched silently, but after a few breaths, his expression gradually changed.

"asshole!"

he cursed.

Rabbit also looked up and saw the light falling straight towards the camp, and it was about to smash the entire camp to pieces.

——No wonder Alande is so angry!

"These guys bully people too much, come on, man," Rabbit shouted.

"They are going to die!" Arland roared angrily and drew out the sword from his waist.

He held the sword, took a deep breath, and exuded amazing momentum.

As a sword master and the original captain of the advance team, his strength has always been good, and he can even summon the phantom of a nightmare monster.

——He had some problems only after putting on the green dragon helmet.

Seeing the light flying closer and closer, Alande gritted his teeth and held the sword tightly, but did not pull it out.

"Fuck 'em, man!" snarled Rabbit.

Countless thoughts flashed through Alan's mind, and he suddenly sighed: "Our mission has not been completed well, and my merits are not enough. If the other party wants to show us power, we can only accept it."

He shook his head, walked over from the opposite side of the campfire, and stood in front of Liu Ping.

"Oh, it's boring." Rabbit said disappointedly.

The next second.

The light finally hit the camp.

boom!

Amidst the violent noise, a large amount of smoke and dust rose into the sky.

An invisible shock wave swept through the entire camp, razing everything to the ground.

Alan and Liu Ping had already retreated, far away from the impact.

"To be so arrogant, I want to see who he is." He said with a gloomy expression.

In the smoke, a joking laughter sounded:

"Sword Master Arland, you have always been a strong-willed person, and it was indeed a mistake to leave the advance team in your hands."

Several figures appeared quietly.

"You are... why are there so many people!" Alande said in surprise.

The smoke cleared.

I saw five professionals standing where the camp was originally.

The leading professional is a dark-skinned man, wearing a pair of narrow-rimmed sunglasses, holding a wooden spear in his hand, a bow and arrow hanging on his waist, and a barrel of arrows on his back.

Alande's pupils shrank suddenly and shouted: "Viper Sheshen, aren't you going to be promoted to the rank of general? Why did you become a member of the advance army?"

"Ah...you mentioned my sad story. They said that my meritorious service was not enough, and there happened to be some problems with the advance team, so I brought a separate team here to make achievements here, and then I can be promoted to general. ." said the man known as Viper Shen.

Alande looked into the void and said absently: "Advance Team 2 - Are you the captain of Team 2?"

"Yes, you are so useless, one or two people die every day." Viper Shen said.

"That's my team's business. Do you have any opinion? It's none of your business!" Alan said.

"Of course it's none of my business. By the way, your helmet doesn't fit you at all." Viper said.

"What do you know about the treasures of the Dragon Clan?" Aland said with a smile.

Viper Sheshen's face darkened.

Dragon clan?

This guy found the dragon treasure?

He glanced behind Alan, and his eyes fell on Liu Ping for a moment.

Aboriginal practitioners…

Alande is guarding him so closely, this guy is probably very important.

In other words, if there is any information, this guy will most likely know it.

Viper Sheshen suddenly smiled and said: "Alander, that practitioner behind you is the trainee member you summoned? It's really rude to see the commander still sleeping - come here, let's try his quality."

"yes!"

The four people behind Viper Sheshen disappeared.

"Asshole, get back!" Aland drew his dagger and shouted.

…

the other side.

Delia's body lay in a pool of blood.

Liu Ping stood aside, his whole person turned into nothingness through special effects, and he quietly looked at the corpse on the ground.

A white-haired old man ordered:

"Bury her and mark her. When I find a buyer later, I will take out her soul."

"Yes, butler."

Two waiters carried hoes to the lawn and began to dig a new cemetery.

The rain is still falling.

The banquet in the manor also continued.

Things on the lawn were over. When the owner of the manor no longer paid attention to this place, the guests attending the banquet maintained due courtesy, quickly changed the topic, and began to discuss other things.

Liu Ping stood in the rain, watching everything quietly.

Andrea's voice sounded:

"What happens next? Is there anything else we can do?"

The two waiters laboriously carried the non-existent body, placed it in the coffin, and then buried it underground.

"What is buried is deception, and what is discovered in the future is falsehood - and with your 'nobody', no one will pay attention to it anymore," Liu Ping said.

Soon.

The two waiters restored the land to its original state, and as soon as they stood up, they immediately forgot what had just happened.

"Why are we carrying hoes?" someone asked quietly.

"I don't know. The master probably asked us to do something - and then erased our memories." Another person said.

"Then there's no need to say more." The first person understood.

They looked into the hall.

There was melodious music there, the guests and the host were chatting happily, and bursts of laughter broke out from time to time.

——No one remembers that a woman died on the lawn.

She was once the greatest melee mage.

She would have been a fruit to be eaten by some big shot.

"You did it, Liu Ping. No one noticed that we had done something that was so miraculous." Andrea said happily.

Liu Ping looked into the void.

Only lines of burning small characters appeared before his eyes:

"Delia has successfully escaped the fate of certain death, and you stepped on the road that originally belonged to her."

"You lied to everyone, including your past self and your future self."

"You got away too."

"The destiny of mankind has ushered in a glimmer of light, which has never happened before."

"Since you have defeated a nightmare monster, please return to the blood river immediately and hand over its body to the human heroes."

"This is extremely important!"

"I repeat, this is extremely important!"

"It is very possible that they can find any useful information from this body."

All the small words disappeared in a flash.

Liu Ping felt something in his heart and slowly walked towards a remote corner of the manor.

As he walked, he suddenly stretched out his hand and raised the torch, and his whole body turned into a bloody skeleton.

When he completed such a ritual, a path suddenly appeared under his feet, with boiling blood on both sides.

The next moment.

He disappeared from the manor and appeared in the endless whirlpool of the blood river.

The blood flowed rapidly, roaring, and hundreds of millions of heroic spirits looked towards him in the long river.

Liu Ping walked back to the center of the Blood River along the path, shed the nightmare embrace from his body, held up the torch and said: "Everyone, I just tried it, and then——"

"I succeeded."

With a wave of his hand, he released the human corpse covered in a monster shell.

Bodies were floating in the air.

Billions of eyes stared at the corpse, but no one said a word.

Humanity.

Inside the body of the nightmare monster is a human being.

I am afraid that no heroic spirit can imagine such a result.

"Are they the same kind?"

"Humanity……"

"Why is there a human inside the nightmare monster?"

"what is going on?"

The heroic spirits were full of doubts and bewilderment, and the hatred and unwillingness in their expressions were somewhat obscured.

An old voice sounded from the depths of the blood river:

"You saved the last melee mage, which has given us hope we never had."

"I didn't expect you to kill such a guy."

"We must concentrate all our efforts to analyze it and see what the truth is beyond the nightmare."

The corpse flew up, submerged into the river of blood, and disappeared.

All the heroic spirits were submerged into the blood river, following the corpse and sinking into the depths of the blood river.

The old voice sighed: "We have been fighting for countless years, but we never thought that the nightmare monster would be a human being."

Liu Ping said: "Then this corpse——"

"We are working hard to dig out useful intelligence from it, you need to wait for a while."

"OK."

After Liu Ping finished speaking, he stood still.

Suddenly, lines of burning small characters appeared before his eyes again:

"Your two reincarnation powers merged into 'seeing and hearing like a god', but the human race's heroic spirits gave you the special ability of 'killing for pleasure'. This ability does not belong to the two reincarnation powers."

"'Killing for fun' still works."

"Ability description: Whenever you complete a kill, you can obtain soul power from the dead enemy to improve your strength and realm."

"From the time you entered the darkest world until you killed the unknown nightmare monster, all the killings have been settled."

"The soul power you have gained is enough to elevate you to the next realm, or even the next realm."

"special reminder:"

"——If you are ready, please start facing the catastrophe."

Liu Ping looked at the line of prompts and fell into deep thought.

"I'd better go back first. If you guys are ready, call me again." He said.

"Okay!" said the old voice.

Liu Ping's figure gradually faded and completely disappeared into the river of blood.
