Chapter 14 Night and Day

The little girl stepped forward and waved her hand in front of Hong Tao's eyes.

Hong Tao stared blankly at the distant desert, turning a blind eye to the dangling arm in front of him.

The little girl gradually laughed.

"The whole thing is easy to explain."

"You found a loophole in this game, so they were stuck here and couldn't move, and I——I sensed the abnormal fluctuation here from the outside."

"But the element that caused the loophole - that is, the corpse of the wolf demon has been eaten by me, which is equivalent to lifting the restrictions on the souls of these two people - they will soon regain their sanity."

The little girl leaned in front of Liu Ping and said softly:
"Although I noticed the abnormality, I couldn't enter this hidden time and space, but when the leak occurred, there were many gaps in the space. This is an extremely rare opportunity, so I can enter here."

After speaking, the little girl turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Liu Ping shouted suddenly.

"Free soul, I have settled with you." The little girl said lightly.

"The last question—is it true for everyone? Are all the dead people controlled and repeating the world deduction you mentioned?" Liu Ping asked in a deep voice.

The little girl burst out laughing.

"You look only a little older than me, so innocent and cute."

"—Treasure your remaining days, once you die, you will not belong to yourself."

She shook her head, ready to leave again.

Liu Ping said: "You haven't told me the answer yet, please tell me, I owe you a favor."

The little girl turned her head to look at Liu Ping, hesitated for a while, and said softly:
"Maybe there are some uncontrolled souls."

"But sooner or later, the souls of all sentient beings cannot escape the fate of being controlled."

"Why is that so?" Liu Ping asked.

The little girl said: "For the masters of the souls, the fate of all beings is just a tool to help them become stronger, and they will not let any soul go."

"This is the sorrow of all beings, but it is their joy."

"—Welcome to this game."

A gust of wind blows.

Kuangsha whizzed away, and the little girl disappeared afterward.

For a moment.

Zhao Chanyi and Hong Tao seemed to wake up suddenly.

"A person appeared here just now, didn't he?" Hong Tao asked uncertainly.

"That's right, I seem to have seen a little girl, but what did she say?" Zhao Chanyi said.

"I don't know, she has already left." Hong Tao said.

Both looked a little dazed.

Liu Ping didn't speak.

He no longer knew what to say.

"There is a great terror in the void, it has stared at our world..."

Master.

Everyone is controlled and used to deduce the world...

Is this what you call the Great Terror?

Liu Ping thought secretly.

a while.

The three of them set off and retreated the way they came.

After a long journey, they arrived at the entrance of the underground cave again.

The three of them discussed briefly, and for the sake of safety, decided not to stay any longer, and immediately returned to the underground world.

When the unicorn mount appeared just now, it attracted the wolf demon, which shows that it is a valuable thing.

Plus some things I picked up before.

And the wolf demon——

Its two daggers, a curved hook, and a high white jade crown can sell a lot of spirit stones.

These are enough for the three of them to take a good rest for a while.

Before leaving, Hong Tao smiled at Liu Ping, cupped his fists and said, "Friend Liu, thank you for saving your life."

"Fellow Daoist Hong, please don't be polite, if I don't save you, I will die too." Liu Ping said.

"One yard is worth one yard, Fellow Daoist Liu, I have something to tell you." Hong Tao said softly.

He looked at Liu Ping with a serious expression, clasped his fists in his hands, and had piercing eyes.

"Liu Daoyou, your self-protection ability reassures us and has won our trust, so you must take seriously what we say next." Zhao Chanyi smiled on the side.

"What's the matter?" Liu Ping wondered.

"There are countless creatures in the wilderness, and humans are just the most common kind." Hong Tao said.

"There is a place called Orchid Grass Valley. That is the place where you were born, and it is also the name of the village. Three days ago, all the villagers were eaten by monsters. Only you survived and wandered alone in the wilderness." Zhao Chanyi road.

"What are you talking about?" Liu Ping asked puzzled.

"Also, this place is about to leave the world of death, so you have to say goodbye to us." Zhao Chanyi said.

The two nodded at Liu Ping and smiled together.

Just as Liu Ping was about to speak, he suddenly realized something and looked at the two of them intently.

I saw their figures gradually blurred.

Hong Tao said emphatically, "Your profession is a scavenger."

Zhao Chanyi said: "Turn in all the things you scavenged. When I ask you what you want, you just say you want a formal identity."

Hong Tao said: "We can only say so much..."

Zhao Chanyi said: "The rest is up to you, take care, Fellow Daoist Liu."

The two hugged each other at Liu Ping.

Everything around turned into light and shadow, gradually spreading like ripples, becoming dim in the void, and disappearing under the night with the wind.

Thinking of what the little girl said, Liu Ping couldn't help but stand there blankly.

Lines of burning small characters quietly floated in the void:
"The hidden space-time has disappeared."

"You have passed through obstacles through hidden time and space, and arrived in unknown places."

Once all the small characters were collected, they disappeared into the void.

At this time, the surrounding scene had completely changed, and Liu Ping found himself still standing at the entrance of the underground cave.

In the desert outside the cave, a sporadic light can be seen vaguely.

There are lights and smoke.

Liu Ping watched for a few breaths, and then remembered what the monk at the tomb said.

"This talisman will form a kind of power, and those who sense that power will come to help you and take you out of the world of death."

Liu Ping sighed.

It turned out that Hong Tao and Zhao Chanyi followed each other all the way to send him away from the world of death.

And the two practitioners who were in the burial place before.

They... are all dead, and their souls are controlled.

Even so, they still find ways to help themselves evade capture, and even more want to send themselves out of the world of death.

That is to say-

Although their souls are enslaved, they are still trying to find a way to fight!
Besides.

Those monsters in the dead world.

The existence attached to Wang Cheng's corpse, the monster made of countless corpses, and the guy holding the bronze hammer.

Even that little girl.

Behind these monsters, there must be a huge mystery hidden.

Liu Ping suddenly sensed something, and couldn't help frowning.

in the desert.

All those lights suddenly disappeared.

Then disappeared, as well as the crowd under the lights.

—Where did they go?
Liu Ping drew out his spiritual fan, and ran forward vigilantly.

It didn't take long for him to arrive at the spot where the previous light was.

It was a sand dune.

There was no one on the dune, only a black steel machine stood motionless.

Liu Ping walked around the sand dunes without finding anything unusual, and finally came to the steel machine step by step.

The height of the machine just reached his chest, emitting a faint light.

When Liu Ping approached it, all the twilight gathered and swept over him.

Between the lightning and the flint, in the corner of the void, the line of small characters displayed in the sequence changed:

"Hidden release."

"Your current status is: survival."

In the next second, an indifferent voice sounded from the black machine:

"You are welcome, the living."

"You are a scum with a combat power of only 10.5, so you must explain your identity."

"I'm from Lancao Valley, and I'm a scavenger," Liu Ping said.

The machine paused for a moment, then made a sound again:

"That's why, you lucky scavengers, it's not easy for you to reach the boundary marker 0371 alive."

"Are you leaving the world of death?"

Liu Ping was about to speak when he suddenly thought about it.

There was a pause.

He said, "If I don't leave now, can I leave later?"

"Anytime," replied the machine.

"Thank you, then I won't leave for now." Liu Ping said.

The floating light slowly flew back into the machine.

The machine goes silent again.

Liu Ping stepped back and found a place not far from the black machine to sit down.

He began to wait quietly.

time flies.

a moment.

Liu Ping got up again, patted the dust off his body, and walked to the machine.

"I am a scavenger, please send me out of the world of death," he said.

In the black machine, the indifferent voice sounded again:
"Scavenger, it is not easy for you to reach boundary marker 0371 alive, welcome."

"The teleportation is about to begin."

"You will leave the world of death and arrive at Dark Mist Town in Dragonbone Wilderness."

"Please enter."

The black machine quickly transformed into two huge doors, which slowly opened towards both sides.

Outside.

The sun, high in the cloudless blue sky, shone brightly over the wilderness.

However, inside the giant steel gate is an endless dark night, without a ray of sunlight shining in.

Day and night are separated, life and death are separated.

This is a spectacle that Liu Ping has never seen in his life.

He tried his best to keep calm, and said silently in his heart: "Activate 'a person who has no role'."

A strange fluctuation appeared on him.

When the auxiliary text of the sequence was displayed line by line, he stepped out of the black steel gate in one step.
