Infernal Artist

Chapter 581 Nightfall

Snowflakes fell densely.

There was a crackling sound from the fireplace, giving off a rare sense of warmth.

Liu Ping sat cross-legged on a chair not far from the fireplace, looking at the new interface that appeared in front of him:

"Number: 05."

"From the dark world."

"Brief description of the mission: The rest period will last until seven o'clock in the evening. Starting at seven o'clock, please find a way to survive until dawn tomorrow."

There are only three lines of small silver characters in total.

No more information.

Liu Ping looked at the long-haired man and asked, "What dangers are there at night?"

The long-haired man shook his head and said, "I came here during the day, so I don't know what it's like at night..."

"It's enough to survive five nights, isn't it?" Liu Ping said.

"You think it's easy? There are about thirty people who came in the same group as me, and I am the only one left alive to this moment." The long-haired man said coldly.

Liu Ping looked at the two drunkards not far away.

——They were still lying on the table, snoring loudly.

The long-haired man followed his gaze and said, "Those two are veterans - the guy with the big beard lived for six days, but was not satisfied with the position he got, so he continued to stay here and wanted to fight. Take a handful and see if you can get a higher rating.”

"His code name——"

"He is 01, the guy next to him drinking with him is 03, I am 04, and you are 05."

suddenly.

A line of small silver characters appeared on the interface:

"There are three minutes until seven o'clock in the evening, please be ready."

The long-haired man obviously also saw this prompt. He suddenly pulled out a black staff and shouted: "It's about to begin. What is your profession? Can you cooperate with me?"

Liu Ping looked towards the other side of the room and saw that the two drunkards had woken up, looking listless and yawning constantly. They placed a short weapon on the table and did a final inspection.

Now Liu Ping understood in his heart.

The mage, codenamed 04, managed to survive the entire day. He had no idea what was going on at night and was eager to find companions to fight with him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said so many words to himself.

——Just like those two drunk guys, they didn't bother to talk to him at all.

"I am a melee professional."

Liu Ping said with a smile, placing the two knives on the table in front of him.

The long-haired man's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Very good, we can handle various situations very well together."

"I think so too," Liu Ping said.

The two waited quietly for a few breaths.

When-when-when-

The clock on the wall suddenly made a crisp sound.

I saw the small wooden doors on the clock opened to both sides, and a mechanical bird popped out and made a piercing scream:

"It's seven o'clock! It's seven o'clock!"

"From now on, you can't leave this house, otherwise the consequences will be terrible."

The mechanical bird retracted.

The wooden door on the clock closed with a bang.

Almost at the same moment——

All lights go out.

A large hole opened in the ceiling, and a hanged man fell from the ceiling and hung in front of several people.

It was a woman covered in blood.

She seemed to have died not long ago. A thick black rope was strangled around her neck, hanging in the air, and slowly turning.

The remaining firelight in the fireplace reflected on her face——

Her face was full of horror and despair, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.

Dead silence.

Blood fell to the ground along her clothes, making a dripping sound.

"No. 02! Why is she dead!"

The long-haired man lost his voice.

"Is she 02?" Liu Ping asked.

The long-haired man said: "Yes, she is obviously resting in the attic - wait, before you came, I seemed to hear the sound of the window opening in the attic -"

Several people looked at each other.

The bearded man codenamed 01 spoke:

"Go up to the attic and see what's going on—it's best if we all go together."

He is the most experienced guy here.

Everyone else nodded, and Liu Ping also felt that he should find out how No. 02 died.

Several people came to the long stairs.

"05, are you a melee professional?" No. 01 asked.

"Ah, yes." Liu Ping said.

"You are at the front." 03 said in an unquestionable tone.

01 nodded.

Liu Ping looked at the two of them and saw that 01 was wearing a lightweight gray leather armor and seemed to be a stealth professional.

03 has a row of grenades hanging on his waist, several tactical belts tied to his body, full of magazines, and a shotgun in his hand.

There are mages, assassins, and gunmen, and as expected, none of them are suitable for rushing to the front.

It's true that as a knife-wielding person, I am suitable for exploring the road ahead.

"Okay, come with me."

Liu Ping walked towards the attic and looked around at the situation.

The journey was uneventful.

Pushing open the attic door, I saw a big hole in the floor inside.

A long rope soaked in blood was trapped at the foot of the bed, extending downwards along the large hole.

This is how the female corpse was hung in the air.

The window of the room was open, and it could be seen that it was completely dark outside, with only snowflakes flying densely, accompanied by the shrill roar of the wind.

"This idiot must have opened the window before he was killed by something outside. Damn it!" No. 03 cursed.

The others didn't speak.

The mechanical bird before said, "You can't leave this house, otherwise the consequences will be dire." This proves that the house should be fairly safe.

Who knew the window was opened by 02.

This is tantamount to luring a wolf into the house——

It's unknown what got into the house.

Liu Ping thought for a while, then took out a knife and dismantled the wooden bed.

"What are you doing?" No. 03 asked warily.

"You can't leave the window open all the time, who knows what else is outside, I'll seal it," Liu Ping said.

Several people's eyes fell on the broken window again.

The long-haired man suddenly waved his staff and whispered: "Go, take a look at the situation outside."

A pile of flying colored foam emerged from the top of the staff, quickly passed through the window, scattered in the strong wind, and drifted away along the wind and snow.

The long-haired man murmured: "Develop."

Dozens of phantom light screens suddenly flashed in front of him, showing the scene outside.

——Those bubbles were like eyes, detecting the situation of the entire village outside for him.

Bearded No. 01 only glanced at it and immediately said: "05, move faster."

Liu Ping also took a look, and his hand movements suddenly accelerated, splitting seven or eight wooden boards almost in an instant.

With a wave of his hand, the wooden boards flew over and sealed the window tightly.

No. 01 took out a few nails and said: "These are holy nails that contain the power of exorcism. It is said that they have crucified the most evil beings."

He drove out the nails one by one and nailed the board to the window.

The sound of wind and snow suddenly stopped being heard.

Silence returned to the house.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief, still staring at the phantom light curtains.

In the light curtain——

There are no villages left.

The whole world turned into endless nothingness, and only this house floated in the darkness, like a building block that could be broken at any time.

In the depths of the dark void, some huge figures were swimming silently.

Countless shrill screams came from farther away in the void.

——The entire house is already in some kind of alien space and may encounter danger at any time!

"Mage, take away your observation technique. This is not a clever technique. It may be followed by some existence and find us."

No. 01 said in a deep voice.

"Ah, okay." The long-haired man hurriedly waved his staff.

All phantom images disappeared immediately.

"Although the power has been cut off, the fire in the fireplace must be extinguished, otherwise the presence of the fire element may be sensed by some existence." No. 01 continued.

"Damn it! She obviously ascended, but she didn't even have this bit of common sense. Now she died happily, and even before she died, she still caused trouble for us." No. 03 cursed.

He took out a whip, turned around and walked down to the attic.

"What are you going to do?" No. 01 asked.

"Put out the fire in the fireplace and give that guy a couple of whips to relieve his anger."

Went downstairs on 03rd.

No. 01 sighed: "Everyone knows how to isolate the breath. I suggest you all use it."

Liu Ping nodded.

What the other party said was very reasonable. You should really restrain your aura now and not attract the attention of any unknown existence.

After tonight, the house will definitely be back in the village, and it will be safe then.

He casually made a breath-containing technique.

"Come on, let's go downstairs and spend tonight taking care of each other." No. 01 said.

"That's exactly what it should be." The long-haired man said quickly.

Liu Ping glanced at No. 01.

This guy was as cold as a piece of ice at first.

After seeing the situation outside the house, he suddenly became enthusiastic.

——For some reason, Liu Ping always felt that he was a little scared.

He was obviously someone who had experienced six nights. He was dozing off calmly at first, but now he has changed like this.

Could it be that the situation tonight is different from usual?

The three of them turned around and walked down from the attic.

"careful!"

No. 01 suddenly shouted.

The long-haired man raised his staff nervously.

Liu Ping had already drawn his knife and flew out, standing in the middle of the house.

Several people looked back and forth.

Nothing was found.

——The hanged female body disappeared together with No. 03.

"How is it possible? No. 03 just came down, so why is it missing?"

The long-haired man ignored the cold sweat on his forehead and murmured in a low voice.

No. 01 closed his eyes and took a breath, then suddenly said: "It's the Void Hidden Dharma! There is something hiding in the Void, we need to find it!"

"Can it be hit?" Liu Ping asked quickly.

"Okay!" No. 01 said.

Liu Ping thought about lightning.

His mind scanned the entire room and found nothing.

At this time, it is not suitable to use such powerful and strange sword techniques as "trembling chop" and "all who hear the voice will be cut off here."

Otherwise, as soon as the knife is pulled out, the house may be shattered.

So--

Liu Ping held the knife upright in front of him and whispered: "Cut."

The long knife buzzed.

The invisible blade burst out from the blade, slashing towards all corners of the room.

——Vacuum Slashing Method·Void Slashing Style!

Suddenly a slight roar was heard.

found it!

The three people quickly gathered together and looked in the direction of the sound.

I saw the female corpse covered in blood squatting on the wall at the other end of the room, staring at Liu Ping with a look of hatred.

She bit the other corpse's neck tightly in her mouth, and she did not let go even if it was cut out by Liu Ping's knife skills.

No. 03!

That's the body of No. 03!
