Infernal Artist

At noon.

A white robot returns to camp.

Self-propelled combat destroyer!

This is the powerful robot that Aland exchanged for protecting Liu Ping!

It only takes 1,000 points of merit to exchange for the position of leader of the advance team, while it takes 1,500 points of merit to redeem this robot, which shows how powerful it is.

Following it were three other professionals from the advance team.

at this time.

The camp had just been re-established, and a cross-legged boy was sitting in front of the campfire, taking a short rest.

The robot walked straight up to the young man and said:

"Hello, Liu Ping, the new captain of the expeditionary force's advance team."

"Hello." The young man said.

"I am the robot that Alan redeemed before his death. My duty is to protect you." The robot said.

"Is there any danger now?" the boy asked.

"Not yet, because I have eliminated the bomb in the camp and brought Zhang Changjiu, the conjurer who violated military discipline, to justice." The robot said.

"How did you bring him to justice?" the young man asked with interest.

"Kill, and the soul will be returned to the transformation pool." the robot said.

When it was talking to the boy, the other three professionals stood aside honestly, not daring to say a word.

——This robot is too powerful.

——Aland is dead, killed by another advance team!

——Whoever behaves inappropriately at this time will most likely bring bad luck to himself.

The young man looked at the interface in front of him with a bored look on his face.

"Ah - there are only four of us left."

He rubbed his hands.

"Boss, what do you think we should do next?" a professional asked respectfully.

"What do you think?" the boy asked.

"You are the captain. We will do whatever you say. We will act under your command." Another professional said.

——This boy has never died, and he has even exchanged the position of captain, and now he has such a powerful robot protecting him.

This is certainly not luck.

It's better not to confront him.

The young man thought for a long time with a frown on his face and asked, "What do you usually do for fun?"

"Playing cards - we play cards sometimes, boss." A professional said.

The young man suddenly snapped his fingers and said, "Let's play cards."

play cards?

The three professionals were all a little confused.

"Boss, it's only noon now. Why don't you wait until you collect enough merits before fighting?" asked a professional.

"No, I figured it out. Since you have to do something, let's do it well - let's play cards!"

The young man thought about Liu Ping's instructions before leaving and said seriously.

The three professionals looked at each other.

it is noon now……

Anyway, people like me have just returned from a long journey, so they should take a rest.

Wait until you are well rested before completing the missions in the Expeditionary Force sequence.

Several people took off their equipment and sat down in front of the fire.

"Boss, how do you want to fight?" one person said.

The young man casually pulled out a handful of cards and said enthusiastically:

“The Easiest Stud.”

"But boss - we don't have many achievements left." A professional said.

"It's okay. If you don't want to spend merit points, there are other ways to replace it." The young man said.

"any solution?"

"this!"

With a slight twitch, the young man pulled out an iron rod with a red tip.

"The loser gets his butt branded. Haha, what an exciting game. I'm starting to feel excited now!"

He said cheerfully.

The three professionals stared at the iron rod with wide eyes, speechless for a moment.

——Whether you are a professional or not, it will still hurt if you are branded unprepared!

"It's agreed. Those who don't play are those who don't obey the captain's orders. You all know the consequences of disobeying your superiors' orders in the army."

The young man smiled maliciously.

The robot took a few steps forward and hummed: "If you don't obey the orders of your superiors, I will send him to the transformation pool!"

There was silence in the camp.

"This card——"

"You guys check."

A set of cards was thrown over.

The three of them checked individually and then nodded together.

There's nothing wrong with this card.

"——The boss is really particular. These are cards made by goblins. It is said that no one can tamper with this set of cards." One of his subordinates praised.

"Deal the cards, boss." A professional swallowed his saliva and said resignedly.

"That's right." The young man became happy, patted the other person's shoulder, and put a black mirror frame on the bridge of his nose.

He looked at the cards in his hand again and saw that the size of each card was directly displayed on the back of the card.

"Very good, let's get started. You know, you may not lose. Maybe I will lose, captain." The young man said seriously.

after awhile.

A high-pitched howl of ghosts and wolves penetrated the night sky, spreading in all directions in the quiet wilderness.

at the same time.

the other side.

River of blood.

Deep in the huge whirlpool formed by the blood river.

A complete set of green spiked armor appeared opposite Liu Ping.

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

"This is the Nightmare Embrace stripped from that person. Its power far exceeds the Nightmare Embrace we originally copied."

"Is this what you mean?"

Liu Ping showed the blood skull card.

"Yes, this is the Nightmare Embrace we created based on some vague information and just imagination. Its only function is to avoid the monster's first pursuit." The old voice said.

Liu Ping was a little curious and walked around the green spiked armor.

At this time, the Expeditionary Army interface had been given to the goblin pretending to be him, leaving only the heroic spirit operation interface sequence.

Two lines of burning small words appeared in the void:

"????"

"The only beginning of the ultimate secret, you must wear it to explore a certain level of secrets."

--The sequence does not display any of its properties at all.

"Are there any other clues?" Liu Ping asked.

"This man's soul was cut off by your knife, so only this Nightmare Embrace is left." The old man said.

"Any suggestions?" Liu Ping asked.

"It's hard to say. I'm afraid you can only know the answer if you put it on." The old voice sighed.

A female voice rang out from the sea of ​​blood: "But no one knows what will happen if you put it on, so we are hesitant and don't dare to let you try it."

Liu Ping said without hesitation: "I'd better put it on and try it on. After all, if such a nightmare embrace disappears for a long time, I'm afraid there will be problems in that period of history - the matter of that being being killed will be noticed sooner or later. arrive."

The old voice said: "If there is any danger——"

"If anyone else tries, I'm afraid they will be caught and all our plans exposed."

Liu Ping said, taking a step forward and placing his hand on the armor full of spikes.

In an instant, lines of burning small characters appeared in the void:

"You have unleashed a strange power: 'deception'."

"You look exactly like the being you killed."

"The unknown nightmare embrace senses the power fluctuations and life characteristics of you."

"It's starting to activate!"

Almost instantly, the armor full of spikes was draped on Liu Ping.

A new prompt pops up:

"This sequence is being connected to an unknown functional sequence."

"3,"

"2,"

"1!"

"Connection successful!"

Another interface suddenly appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes.

An old voice then sounded: "I have opened the time and space channel of that period of history for you, you can go!"

"The transmission is about to begin——"

A ray of light emanated from the brand new Nightmare Embrace, wrapped around him, and disappeared directly into the void.

…

white light.

White light enveloped everything.

It wasn't until the dazzling light disappeared that Liu Ping found himself standing in a completely sealed square glass box.

Countless pupils - blue, gray, gold, orange - round pupils, vertical pupils, square pupils, discrete pupils -

They were densely packed outside the glass box, staring at Liu Ping intently.

Unrecognizable characters flashed crazily in front of Liu Ping's eyes, flying upward like a waterfall, lasting for dozens of breaths.

finally.

One by one, those pupils left the outer glass wall.

A door appeared in the glass.

There was a vast white mist outside.

Liu Ping took a deep breath and was about to walk out when he suddenly saw lines of burning small words appearing in the void again:

"The functional sequence is requesting to speak with you."

"Are you connected?"

"Connected." Liu Ping said.

A dull voice suddenly sounded in Liu Ping's ears:

"Come to the reincarnation channel No. 3, there is some trouble here."

Reincarnation Channel No. 3.

what is that?

Ignore these for now, anyway, we have to leave this glass box.

Liu Ping stepped out of the box in one step, passed through the fog outside, and saw a closed steel door in front of him.

As he approached the door, a green light suddenly appeared on the door.

A soft voice sounded: "Verification passed, welcome back, worker No. 408721, please stand still, you will be transferred to the third reincarnation channel soon."

Great, this is very advanced.

Liu Ping just stood there, waiting quietly.

A ray of light shone on him, and in an instant it took him away from where he was, appearing in a rusty abandoned passage filled with blood and stains.

Two other beings were already standing here.

They all have armor full of spikes, but the style and color are completely different from Liu Ping's.

"You're here, 408721."

A guy who was three meters tall said hello in a muffled voice.

This was exactly the voice that sounded in the communication just now.

"What happened?" Liu Ping asked.

"When a very outstanding person reaches the end of his life, I'm worried that I won't be able to control him." The three-meter-tall guy said.

"Isn't he qualified enough to be eaten?" asked a guy covered in metal spikes.

"Not yet, just a little bit closer. The idea above is to let him reincarnate again to see if he can break through the shackles and move toward Qigui." The three-meter-tall guy said.

"What a great achievement." The guy covered in metal spikes muttered.

"Attention, he's here, I'm going to turn on the special effects." The three-meter-tall guy said.

"Let's go. If there's any problem, 408721 and I are here."

"Yes." Liu Ping answered.

The three-meter-tall guy pressed against the wall.

Snapped!

It's like a switch has been turned on——

In an instant, the entire passage turned into a shining light, like an extremely sacred place.

Liu Ping found that he and the other two people had turned into luminous bodies with wings, surrounded by an indescribable majesty and momentum.

Not far behind the three of them, above the clouds, appeared a city bathed in divine light.

Liu Ping composed himself and continued to remain silent.

By now, he already somewhat understood what was going on here.

"The dead scholar believed in the power of the divine side and always longed to go to heaven." The three-meter-tall guy added.

Another guy said: "Pay attention, he is dead and his soul is about to arrive."

The words just fell.

A soul appeared in the holy passage.
