Purgatory Artist

　　 When the sun rises.

　　 Liuping stood on a tree in the town, looking out towards the wilderness.

　　 The distance of 800 meters outside the small town has been shrouded in darkness, revealing a deep night.

　　 But Liu Ping clearly remembered that when he came to Dark Mist Town from the wilderness, he had traveled hundreds of miles away.

　　 Yesterday, the darkness was far from Dark Mist Town.

　　 After only one night, the sun passed through the dark fog town, but it could not shine into the night outside the town.

　　 "The world of death..."

　　 Liuping whispered.

　　 The world is divided into two, black and white.

　　 The dark side is the scope of the world of death.

　　 After the invasion last night, it has already approached the Dark Mist Town, almost covering the town.

　　—If there is no one to resist the darkness tonight, will Yongye continue to move on and swallow the entire town into the world of death?

　　 There was a sense of urgency in Liuping's heart.

　　 He jumped out of the tree and constantly shuttled through the ruins according to the town pattern he remembered in his mind.

　　 "Go to the bar first..."

　　He walked through the ruins and soon came to the bar.

　　 This place has been completely destroyed, and the ground is covered with broken bricks and tiles, and it is even possible to see that there is a huge paw print on the ground several meters deep into the ground.

　　 A layer of black powdery substance spreads over the entire bar ruins along the edge of the paw print.

　　 "The fire... is still very powerful."

　　 Liuping groaned.

　　 He seemed to have sensed something, and quickly walked to the place where the bar was originally located, and removed the masonry in a collapsed place.

　　 There is a charred corpse lying under the masonry.

　　 This is not the world of death, so Liu Ping walked forward with confidence and turned the corpse over and took a closer look.

　　 is the bartender.

　　 He died hastily, one arm spread out, and he made a move to grab something forward.

　　Grab—

　　 Liuping looked in the direction of the corpse.

　　 I saw a corner of the bar not far away, and there was nothing.

　　 "Scatter!"

　　 Liuping squeezed a trick to blow away the masonry and ashes on the flat ground.

　　The original wooden floor of the bar was revealed, but there was nothing on the bare floor.

　　 This small place is intact!

　　 Liuping stepped forward and knocked on the floor, and found that it was hollow inside.

　　 Do you want to punch through the floor and see what's underneath?

　　 Liuping cast his eyes on the bartender.

　　The bartender has been dead for a long time, the desperate expression has long been solidified on his face, while the body is maintaining the posture of climbing with all its strength, as if he wanted to climb to the corner before dying.

　　 Liuping pressed the ground with his hand.

　　 Suddenly, a mechanical voice came from the ground:

　　 "Pass the identity verification, the night watchman, you can enter."

　　 The ground cracked suddenly.

　　 Liuping fell down, turned a few times in the middle, and stood on the ground.

　　 I saw that this is a relatively spacious underground secret room, hiding a lot of living supplies, and a vertical glass pavilion.

　　 Void, two lines of small print give an explanation:

　　 "You found the phone booth."

　　 "This is a remote communication tool, which may have some special functions."

　　 Liuping sighed.

　　 I don’t need sequence reminders, I know what it is, after all, I have acquired the basic common sense of this era.

　　—Now I know what the bartender wants to do.

　　 The bartender probably wanted to report the situation in Dark Mist Town and seek help.

　　The bartender is a receptionist numbered 03687, who has the power to trade and issue official identities.

　　 There must be a powerful organization behind such a person.

　　 But logically speaking, people like the bartender should already be familiar with things in the wilderness and should be prepared for danger.

　　 The leader of the night watch also said that the night at the end of the month is the most dangerous.

　　Why did they plan to seek rescue until the end, and they haven't succeeded?

　　... It seems that basic common sense is not enough.

　　The sequence also said, this phone booth may have other special functions.

　　 But I don’t know.

　　 Liu Ping was thinking, suddenly there was movement in the void again.

　　 A line of small characters quickly appeared before his eyes:

"Remind again:"

　　 "A strange wave appeared to the north of Dark Mist Town."

　　 Last night, Sequence asked herself to interrupt her practice and find out.

　　Since the sequence is so urgent...

　　 Liuping looked at the phone booth, hesitating.

　　—Can this be sold for money?

　　 The storage bag on my body is of ordinary style, and it can hold a limited amount of things, so I can’t hold such a big thing.

　　 The piggy bank only accepts currency, not phone booths.

　　The only way to do this is to put the phone booth here first, and then turn around to see how to deal with it after I have explored the north side of the town.

　　 Liuping turned and left the ruins of the bar, heading all the way to the north of the town.

　　 I saw many scorched black humanoid marks on the road, these black marks clinging to the ground, emitting a foul smell.

　　 Within a few hundred meters, there was a sporadic noise in a collapsed building several stories high in front of him.

　　 "Who is it? Is there anyone?" Liu Ping tried to say.

no respond.

　　 But the noise is louder.

　　 Liuping became cautious.

　　 He slowly backed up a few steps, hid behind a stone stone, and then squeezed a trick.

　　 waited for a few breaths.

　　 A shaky figure crawled out of the ruins.

　　 Old K.

　　 His feet have been broken, he can only leaned on his hands to support the ground, crawling towards the place where the sound was made.

　　Yiu looked at each other quietly, watching the crazy look of old K, the crooked mouth with salivation and black blood, and the sharpened hands—

　　 "Lost consciousness... Go crazy... Sorry, my healing technique can't save you."

　　 Liuping whispered, putting away the tactics.

　　 But he shouldn't let the other party leave alone either, he faintly felt a certain danger hidden in the other party's body.

　　 But in this situation, every trace of spiritual power is very precious, so—

　　Yupei drew his pistol and pointed it at old K.

　　 Old K didn't realize it, but just opened his mouth and crawled towards Liuping desperately. It seemed that Liuping was the most delicious food in the world.

　　 Liuping pulled the trigger.

boom!

　　 Old K opened a hole in his heart and shook his body, lying on the spot and no longer crawling forward.

　　 At this moment, he seemed to have changed something, his eyes became clearer a little.

　　 "It's you...hurry up, hit me on the head, I will die only if I get a headshot!"

　　 Old K said dumbly.

　　 "What happened last night?" Liu Ping asked.

　　 Old K showed fear on his face, turned into madness, and was finally covered by despair.

　　 "Quick! Kill me! Otherwise I'll be done!" he shouted.

　　 After saying this, Old K twitched frantically, and within a few breaths, sharp bone spurs grew out of his body.

　　 "Please, please—"

　　 he pleaded.

　　 saw his eyes become completely milky white, his forehead split, and another pair of dark eyes grew again.

boom!

　　 A bullet exploded his head.

　　 All movement suddenly stopped.

　　 The body was lying on the ground, motionless.

　　Yiu looked at the corpse quietly.

　　Kill me, or I'll be finished—

　　 In another way, this sentence can be explained as: kill me and I won't be finished.

　　...Are you afraid of becoming a monster? Or something else?

　　 Liuping was a little at a loss.

　　Between heaven and earth, the wind blew past the town and left.

　　The world gradually turned into dead silence.

　　 a long time.

　　 The body did not move.

　　 Liuping slowly retracted his gun, stepped back and continued on.

　　 Half a quarter of an hour later, he arrived in the north of Dark Mist Town.

　　 A line of small characters floats in the void:

　　 "The strange wave is enveloped at 500 meters to your left. You need to find the source of this wave, and this sequence will analyze it."

　　 Liuping stepped on a pile of rubble and looked in that direction.

I remembered.

　　 When he first entered Dark Mist Town, he walked around the whole town and passed there.

　　 There is a collapsed building there. I heard that it is called a "church".

　　 It looks like it has been abandoned for a long time, but it has a different feeling compared to other buildings.

　　 Liuping stepped forward and pinched a trick.

　　 The bricks and stones that buried the passage all flew out and piled up on the opposite side of the church.

　　 Liuhei looked into the church.

　　—He knows why the church feels different from other buildings.

　　Although other buildings have collapsed, as long as you do some exploration, you can find that almost all of the buildings have been emptied.

　　 But the church is different.

　　 Even though it was abandoned, all the things in it were neatly arranged, and no one took it away.

　　No one touches things in the church.

　　 Liuping walked in, circled around, and finally stayed in front of a wall.

　　 The wall is leaking, and someone inside the wall can be heard asking for something quietly, and the tone is extremely religious.

　　—There is more than one person.

　　 Liuping listened carefully, but found that as he concentrated, he could hear more and more voices.

　　 He settled, and slammed a punch against the wall.

　　 Wow!

　　 The bricks fell on the ground, revealing a secret room inside.

　　 Liuping immediately saw the structure of the entire secret room.

　　The secret room is very small, with smooth stone surfaces on the four walls and floor, densely etched with mysterious runes, forming a circle of graceful circles, enclosing a statue with a metal base.

　　 That is a statue of a woman in a colorful robe.

　　 She has a compassionate expression, her demeanor is dignified, her eyes are closed, and she is holding a piece of black iron rope in both hands.

　　 The black iron rope tied her hands, wrapped around her body, forming a heavy shackle at the ankles, tightly binding her feet.
