Chapter 185 The Banshee of the Forest
outside of York.

forest.

Liu Ping got out from the hole of an old tree.

The devil lord followed behind him.

Liu Ping looked in the direction of York City, and said:

"If you hadn't met me, what would you have done when you arrived in York City?"

"... Just take a look, if there are no special circumstances, go back." The devil lord said.

"Aren't you an inspector?" Liu Ping said.

"Apprentice." The devil lord said.

"Why not use the watch for finding prisoners?" Liu Ping asked.

The devil lord looked at him and said with a complicated expression: "What if something goes wrong? In fact, if I was the only one who entered that prison room just now, I should have died there."

After hearing this, Liu Ping fell into deep thought.

The soul of the other party did not fluctuate, obviously telling the truth.

In the history of the Kingdom of Ceylon, on December 37, 12, the city of York was destroyed.

The devil lord must have appeared at that time, but it probably didn't use the watch, nor did it enter the prison cell.

But this time, he started the watch himself.

This is a place that is completely different from history!

"Go." Liu Ping said.

"Huh?" The devil lord was a little confused.

"Report what happened here to your superiors. Your target is the prisoner. I'm glad you can find the target." Liu Ping said.

"But my soul—" said the devil lord.

"It belongs to me." Liu Ping said.

"Can't you let me go? I'm just a little level 35 devil, why do you make things difficult for a small character like me." The devil lord begged.

Liu Ping didn't speak.

In the void, a card frame gradually emerged, and a number also appeared in his upper left corner:
"3."

Grade 3.

The devil lord was sweating profusely, and murmured, "This is impossible."

What crime did I do to be taken as a slave by a level 3 knight?
Liu Ping patted it on the shoulder, comforting: "It's a good thing you saved your life, didn't you?"

The devil lord was silent.

"Go, report the situation, and then do what you should do. We will meet later." Liu Ping said.

"You let me go?" The devil lord asked in surprise.

"Of course, but you can only talk about your own discovery, don't mention me—you can still handle such a trivial matter, can't you?" Liu Ping said.

"...Okay." The devil lord said.

It turned into a flash of lightning, quickly flew into the sky, and disappeared from Liu Ping's sight.

Liu Ping jumped onto the big tree and glanced in the direction of York City.

this city.

has been destroyed.

The evil god hiding in the dark did not give himself a chance to change history.

——But after the historical event of the destruction of York City, he let go of the devil and let him report the prisoner's information.

The Ombudsman is said to be an organization that deals with prisoners.

In that prison room, I saw countless bugs, and these bugs were exactly the same as Qian Zhouwu back then——

They belong to that evil god.

So, let the Supervisory Committee deal with the evil god.

In history, something happened that didn't happen before, what will happen?
This is my own temptation and counterattack.

After all, from now on, no one knows what will happen next.

Liu Ping jumped down from the tree and walked deep into the dense forest.

The Supervisory Committee is about to intervene in this incident, and of course it is impossible for him to return to York City.

Then...

leave here.

to other cities in the Kingdom of Ceylon.

Anyway, I have communion skills, I can't die of hunger, and I have a healing profession, no matter which city I am in, I can always find a job.

……

after one day.

Along the road outside the forest.

Yana finished the last morsel, put down the tableware, and said with a smile, "Thank you for the hospitality."

"Have you finished eating?" Liu Ping asked.

"Well, it's a great feeling to be recovering strength without any curse," Yana said.

Liu Ping snapped his fingers, and the dining table disappeared immediately.

"Go back to sleep, and come out when you fully recover." Liu Ping said.

"Okay." Yana responded, turned into a card, and flew into his hand again.

Liu Ping put away the cards and set off again.

He walked straight along the road, and it didn't take long before he heard the sound of people coming.

I saw a group of people on the road pitching tents, eating and resting.

Liu Ping immediately became happy.

I finally met someone, now I can ask where the nearest city is.

He walked over and said politely, "Excuse me, may I ask—"

A guard yelled, "Go away, go away, little beggar!"

He made a gesture to draw out the long knife in his hand.

Liu Ping was startled, and couldn't help taking a few steps back, looking at himself.

——After the Battle of York City, he entered the prison again, walked through a long tunnel all the way, and walked in the forest for a day. smell.

No wonder the other party felt that he was a little beggar.

Liu Ping smiled and said, "Brother, I just want to ask how to get to the nearest city."

The guard glanced at him and said contemptuously, "Go through the road on the left and keep walking, and you can go to a new place to beg."

Behind him, those who were sitting and eating together looked over here.

"Thank you." Liu Ping nodded to the other party, turned and left.

After he left.

Those people suddenly let out bursts of laughter.

"Old Stone is really bad."

"Who says no, if the little beggar keeps walking along the left path—"

"Haha, he's dead!"

The guard named Stone had a smile on his face and said, "Everyone, I just want to lighten the burden for the major charities."

the other side.

Liu Ping walked for a while, but found that the road ahead was getting more and more remote.

The road that was originally paved with stone slabs has become a muddy path.

Occasional cobwebs straddle the branches on either side of the path and block the road ahead.

"No, if it is a road that is often walked by people, why are there so many spider webs?"

Liu Ping recalled the expression on the man's face when he spoke before, and after a little thought in his heart, he understood the reason.

He sighed, feeling a little bored.

"Forget it, let's go back to the main road and ask other people later."

After making up his mind, Liu Ping was about to turn around and go back, when the sound of gurgling water suddenly came from the depths of the woods ahead.

Stream?

Liu Ping stopped in his tracks.

I still have a few sets of knight uniforms to change, so I might as well take a bath in the stream in front of me, and then change into clean clothes.

In this case, if you ask the way again, others should not dare to deceive themselves easily.

The idea is made.

Liu Ping brushed aside the branches on both sides of the path, and strode forward in stride.

soon.

The front is suddenly bright.

A small stream winds its way, forming a deep pool not far away.

--bath!
Liu Ping took off his shirt while walking.

The clothes were smoked all over in the billowing black smoke of York City, and they had turned pitch black, and they were really uncomfortable to wear.

He came to the water pool and was about to take off his pants when he heard a faint singing sound.

someone!

And it's a woman!
Liu Ping hurriedly picked up the clothes on the ground, put them on his body, and looked around.

cliff.

chaotic tree.

rocky beach.

brook.

No one is anywhere.

Where does this song come from?
Liu Ping's eyes gradually fell on the pool.

I saw bubbles floating up from the depths of the pool one after another, and then, a woman in an emerald green robe floated up.

There were two branches on her head, full of flowers, her eyes were light green, and she looked at Liu Ping curiously.

A line of small words floated above her head.

"Banshee."

"Those with this name guard the secrets of the world and have a certain power of causality."

Liu Ping's heart skipped a beat.

To meet such an incredible existence here!
"Who are you?" the woman asked.

"I - hello, I'm Liu Ping, passing by here." Liu Ping said.

"What are you doing here?" the woman asked again.

"Bather... But since you have already occupied this place, I'll change it." Liu Ping said.

He was about to turn around and leave, but the woman asked: "Did you hear the singing just now?"

"Ah, I heard it. Did you sing it?" Liu Ping asked back.

"Yes." The woman said.

"It sounds great!" Liu Ping praised.

"Is what you said true?" the woman asked hurriedly.

"After all, I am also a professional in musical instruments. You have to trust my evaluation. In fact, my standards are very strict, and I usually never praise others." Liu Ping said with a smile.

The woman laughed, her expression soft like a spring breeze, and said softly: "Those who hear my singing will only be afraid. No one has praised me so sincerely for a long time."

"Why are they afraid of you?" Liu Ping asked.

"Because you hear my singing, you must answer my questions. If you can't answer, your soul will become the nourishment of the forest." The woman said.

"What's the problem?" Liu Ping asked with interest.

The woman was slightly startled, looked at him and said: "Forget it, you can go, I am in a good mood today, so I won't ask you."

"Ah, it's okay. If it's something like fighting, after all, I'm only 14 years old, I'm not yet mature, and my combat power is limited. Of course I don't dare to make mistakes—but if it's a problem, I'm interested." Liu Ping said .

"Aren't you afraid you won't be able to answer?" the woman smiled.

"If I can't answer, can I look for the answer?" Liu Ping asked.

The woman was startled again, and couldn't help asking: "Why do you want to find the answer?"

"A good question is very rare. It will teach us a lot of knowledge and secrets. I like this kind of question and its answer." Liu Ping said.

The woman swam in the pool for a week, then sighed suddenly: "You are still very young...and you have such a heart, forget it, let's go..."

Liu Ping said: "I feel your kindness, how about this, you give me a standard, and when I meet that standard, you tell me about the problem."

The woman said: "That's fine, when you figure out what the world is made of, you can come back to me, and I will ask questions."

"If you answer wrong, you will die?"

"Yes."

"Are you right?"

"When you get it right, you know the answer."

"Well, I actually know what the world is made of."

"what?"

"sequence."

"Be more specific."

"Okay, I guess it's a deck of cards."

boom--

The water in the pool is like a waterfall flowing backwards, rising completely into the sky.

The woman floated in front of Liu Ping, exuding strange fluctuations all over her body, and asked, "My question is, after this world dies, how can it be resurrected?"

Liu Ping was silent for a while, and praised: "What a good question... I didn't expect to hear this question here."

"Have you ever heard the question?"

"Yes, it's the last question in the trio of Doom."
