Infernal Artist

night.

silence.

Liu Ping walked back and forth in the room.

The monsters seem to be so powerful that even the omniscient and omnipotent Lord has escaped, but he has never really fought against them.

I've never fought before, and my hands are always itchy - even if I can't beat him.

I don’t know what level of existence these monsters are in the nightmare world, let alone their civilization and social structure.

Liu Ping stopped at the window and looked out at the dark city.

——This is the first time to truly delve into the world of nightmare monsters. . .

There's actually a lot to do and a lot of secrets to explore.

But now there is one most urgent matter——

Until this moment, I still don’t know what “manifestation” is all about.

All the classmates who knew about this were dead.

Before tomorrow comes, you must figure out what "manifestation" is.

Liu Ping looked towards the door.

Door--

It's closed.

The windows were also closed.

But it doesn't matter.

Liu Ping walked to the window and gently opened the latch.

Almost instantly, small burning characters appeared in the void, giving corresponding combat instructions:

"You unleashed the power of the 'special effects artist' and injected special effects with 'deception' to make the window appear not to be open."

“You surround yourself with the effects of a ‘special effects artist’, making yourself one with the environment.”

Liu Ping glanced at it, jumped out, jumped out of the window, and landed lightly in the yard.

I saw that the entire yard had lawns, trees, fences, and several dogs. It was completely arranged according to human habits.

There was no one in the yard.

Liu Ping looked back and saw that the door of the villa was ajar, and there were bursts of conversations coming from inside.

"If he can't manifest, remember that I have a bite."

"Don't worry, everything will be done according to the rules. His arm is yours."

"That's okay, I'll take my leave now."

The door opens.

Liu Ping saw a man wearing black-rimmed glasses walking out.

——It is the school teacher.

His father and mother followed him out and whispered to him: "How are the arrangements for tomorrow?"

"You don't have to worry about this. We are making arrangements overnight and will ensure that there are no problems in the manifestation process." The teacher said.

"See you tomorrow then."

"Well, I can probably finish it tomorrow morning. See you tomorrow."

After the teacher finished speaking, he walked across the courtyard and left here without looking back.

My father and mother stood on the doorstep, watching the teacher leave.

Taking advantage of this moment, Liu Ping got into the door from behind the two of them and hid in the kitchen.

Apparently they were discussing how to divide themselves.

-That is the unmanifested condition.

But what if it manifests itself?

Liu Ping was curious and stood motionless, waiting quietly for a while.

The door finally closed.

Both father and mother came in, but stopped talking to each other. The father went straight to the study, not knowing what he was doing, while the mother walked into the kitchen and started washing some fruits.

These are what humans usually eat, including apples, cherries, strawberries and oranges. It seems that mother is preparing fruits for tomorrow morning.

After she was ready, she suddenly turned into a cloud of gray mist and disappeared from Liu Ping.

Liu Ping was stunned for a moment, feeling a little baffled, but he was quickly relieved.

Now that 0880 has fallen asleep, things here are equivalent to over. It no longer needs to pretend and can do something of its own.

——What about father?

Liu Ping walked outside the study and listened with bated breath.

There was a small knocking sound in the room, mixed with inaudible screams.

It's the soul.

This kind of scream should be the sound of the soul.

Liu Ping no longer hesitated, and immediately activated the "special effects artist" to make himself look like his mother on the outside, and directly opened the door and went in.

The sound stopped.

I saw a bunch of skulls placed on the large table, and they were fused together using some kind of magic.

"How did you come?"

The father only paused for a moment, and his hands once again turned into flying afterimages, constantly tapping on the skull, as if he wanted to etch some kind of weird rune.

Intermittent screams came from the skull.

That is the wail of the human soul!

"Something's wrong," Liu Ping said.

"Is there anything else?" Father asked without looking back.

Liu Ping stood at the door, imitating his mother's expression and behavior, and said coldly: "I didn't expect that someone would be the first in the grade. I can't wait for tomorrow."

When he spoke, his original voice suddenly turned into his mother's voice with the help of special effects.

My father had no doubt that he had it. While he continued to carefully carve the skeleton, he said:

"Actually, I didn't expect that if he failed to manifest successfully, we would eat him directly. I guess the flesh and blood of the top grader would be especially delicious."

"If he manifests successfully, we will gain some power from the 'Omniscient and Almighty Lord', which will help us win the Holy Kingdom, and we will receive more rewards for this."

I see……

According to God, once they understand a certain power, they are invincible in the face of that power.

but!

Although these guys have obtained the body of God, they cannot interpret the power of God!

Too--

The old man was so clever that he immediately ran away at the slightest sign of trouble, leaving his enemy to be dealt with by a liar.

Will he let these monsters gain their own powers and then rescue himself from death?

No.

He only empowers that liar!

That's why these monsters need to continuously cultivate humans and use humans as carriers to obtain divine power, and then they can interpret this power from humans.

Liu Ping said: "Then 0880——"

He paused deliberately, as if lost in thought.

The father's hand stopped and he looked carefully at the rune he had just carved, with a look of satisfaction gradually showing on his face.

"It depends on what kind of power he has awakened. If he can interpret it immediately, he is worthless; if it is a power that cannot be understood at once, then feed him for a while." The father said.

"That makes sense." Liu Ping said in a cold and distant tone.

He nodded at the other person, turned and left the room.

The door closes.

I heard Liu Ping continue to say in a mother's tone outside: "You are too noisy here, I hope you can control the sound."

The father still buried his head, carving runes on the skull with great interest.

——What it was really interested in was this matter. It didn’t pay attention to the conversation just now and didn’t think much about it.

However, my partner's last words are a reminder.

Although it is unlikely to be noisy until 0880——

But what if?

What if I got up at night at 0880 and heard the noise here, wouldn't I have disturbed this precious fruit?

With a wave of his hand, his father immediately placed a sound barrier in the study.

Liu Ping sensed the fluctuation of that technique, with a look of satisfaction on his face, and walked towards the living room.

As soon as he walked into the living room, he heard tiny spatial fluctuations coming from the void around him.

In an instant——

Mother appeared quietly.

She looked at Liu Ping and asked coldly: "Didn't you go to the study again? Why did you come out?"

——At that moment, Liu Ping transformed the special effects on himself into his father.

He sat down on the sofa and said like his father, "I'm thinking about tomorrow."

"Isn't everything already arranged?" Mother also sat down on the sofa and asked casually.

"I was thinking - if 0880 fails to manifest, we will eat him directly. The flesh and blood of the top grader will probably be particularly delicious." Liu Ping responded with his father's exact words.

"What if he succeeds?" Mother asked.

"If he manifests successfully, we will gain some power from the 'Omniscient and Almighty Lord', which will help us win the Holy Kingdom, and we will receive more rewards for this." Liu Ping said.

Mother listened and couldn't help but nodded.

——These are my father’s original words, and there are no flaws at all.

At this moment, Liu Ping sighed and continued: "I'm afraid of only one thing."

"What?" Mother asked.

"I'm afraid that after he successfully manifests, he will have the kind of power that we can't understand for a while, and then we will have to feed him for a while." Liu Ping said.

Mother suddenly laughed and said, "You wanted to go with me, so I just went to the manor."

"Manor?" Liu Ping said.

"Yes, originally we growers were not eligible to go to the manor, but 0880 will be manifested tomorrow, and the manor also knows this situation, so it allowed me to register." Mother said.

——I don’t know what it is saying, and I can’t get a word in.

Liu Ping thought for a moment and asked calmly: "Registration - was it smooth?"

"It goes well. If he really has an incomprehensible power, the manor will take him in and train him towards high-level fruits." Mother said.

Liu Ping nodded and asked no more questions.

This arrangement is quite reasonable.

No manifestation, 0880 death.

Manifestation, power successfully interpreted, 0880 death.

Manifested, the power cannot be interpreted, and it is sold to the manor to be used as a high-grade fruit. Sooner or later, it will die.

Tsk.

——No matter which road it is, it is a complete dead end.

Liu Ping had the intention to continue asking, but now that the information was obtained, he actually knew nothing except his father's few words.

If you continue to ask further questions, you will be exposed easily.

He no longer hesitated, stood up and said, "I'm going back to the study."

"I'm also busy with other things, see you tomorrow."

After the mother finished speaking, she picked up a few human bone ornaments from the table, looked in the mirror and dressed them up, then turned into a cloud of gray mist and disappeared.

Only Liu Ping was left in the living room.

Even though my mother has passed away——

He followed his father's example and walked all the way through the corridor. At the door of the study, he created a special effect illusion of pushing the door in. In fact, he blended into the surrounding environment and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

He returned to the yard, jumped lightly, got into the window on the second floor, turned off the special effects, and closed the window tightly.

alright.

It's time to sleep now.

——But at this moment, instead of sleeping, it is better to practice and consolidate the power of Chaotic Star Realm.

Liu Ping sat cross-legged on the bed, silently adjusted his breathing, and waited for dawn.
