Chapter 245 Who am I?
Liu Ping was hugged by Yana, suspended under the ceiling.

Together they looked towards the jewel.

It was a gemstone exuding a dim red light, it was inlaid in the middle of the ceiling, surrounded by many colorful murals.

"I'll activate it." Yana said.

"Wait a minute, why do I think this gem is a little strange?" Liu Ping said.

In front of his eyes, two lines of small words appeared next to the gemstone:
"Channel gem (in the winding of the fate line)."

"Explanation: Injecting soul power can open a special secret path."

Liu Pingmo asked, "What does the winding of the fate line mean?"

"Please explore by yourself." Sequence replied.

Explore on your own...

Liu Ping hesitated.

"Open it, I don't feel any danger from this gem, and they are almost filling the entire church," Yana said.

Liu Ping looked down.

I saw densely packed skeletons crawling along the wall.

"it is good."

He pressed his hand on the gem, and gently passed a trace of soul power.

The gem immediately turned into an open passage.

Yana flew in with Liu Ping.

The passage closed immediately.

As soon as he entered, he saw gray mist all around, and there was only one path leading to the front.

In the mist, there were rustling sounds from time to time.

——Just like when I first entered this world.

"Don't enter the fog, there are some very powerful guys inside." Yana whispered.

"Ah."

Liu Ping responded, and walked forward along the path.

Before long, he reached the end of the road.

"Strange, isn't it said that there are monsters guarding the keys here?"

Liu Ping said puzzled.

In front of him is a circular altar.

There is a beating heart on the altar, and under the heart lies a monster that has been dead for a long time.

——It is not accurate to say that it is a monster, because it looks like a person whose stature has skyrocketed three or four times.

It's just that it doesn't have any human traits on it, and its whole body and even its face are all white.

Lines of burning small characters appeared next to the monster:

"Z-type biological combat body (death) (in the winding of the fate line)"

"Mysterious side, martial arts side."

"Explanation: This is a powerful fighting organism, and the mark 'Z' means that it is good at unarmed combat."

Yana stepped forward to take a closer look, and said, "This monster is dead, and the heart on it belongs to the devil."

"Do you know the devil's heart?" Liu Ping asked.

"It should be called the magic core, but we usually call it the heart." Yana said.

The two searched around.

There is no key.

"Strange, is that sealed core card lying to me?" Liu Ping asked in surprise.

"No, all its fluctuations have not changed, and it is still a card on our side." The banshee in the forest said.

"Is the key the heart?" Liu Ping asked.

He took two steps forward and was about to pick up the heart when he suddenly remembered something and called out, "Lilith!"

"I am here."

A palm-sized girl emerged from his hair, looking curiously at the white humanoid corpse.

"This thing seems very strong, can we use it?" Liu Ping asked.

"It... has far exceeded your level. If you make it a death doll, you won't be able to summon other death dolls." Lilith said.

"Is this permanent or temporary?" Liu Ping asked.

"When you level up and become stronger, you can summon more dolls," Lilith said.

Liu Ping called out the card book and said: "Then it doesn't matter, let's start, wake it up."

Lilith landed on the card book and whispered an obscure spell.

next second.

The pure white Z-shaped biological combat body slowly stood up.

"What do you think of its strength?" Liu Ping asked.

"It's hard to say," Yana looked at the white monster, and said, "Its breath has completely subsided, and I can't sense everything about it."

Looking at the Z-shaped biological combat body, Liu Ping felt as if he was staring at the void, but there was nothing in the void.

"Very...advanced." He judged.

"What should we do now? There are only corpses and a heart here, why don't we take the heart and try it at the Guangmen?" Yana asked.

"In the Land of Exile, the first two cards I got were keys—maybe there is a key hidden in this devil's heart."

While speaking, Liu Ping took the devil's heart from the Z-type biological combat body.

next moment.

Steep Mutation——

I saw lines of small words popping up in the void above the heart:
"Heart of an unknown devil."

"The seal is lifted."

"Resuscitated."

dong dong!dong dong!dong dong!

The heart beat vigorously.

The void opened to both sides, and a skeleton with three heads landed opposite Liu Ping and Yana.

prisoner!

It actually entered this secret room directly!

"Unexpectedly, you helped me find my heart." The prisoner said in a low voice.

The white shadow flashed.

boom! ! !
The Z-shaped biological combat body punched the prisoner into the ground, and blurred fist shadows erupted from both hands.

He took two full breaths.

A black light hit the chest of the Z-shaped biological combat body, sending it flying.

The prisoner jumped out from the ground and said to Liu Ping:
"With this thing, you also want to win me?"

Liu Ping looked into the air, and saw a hole in the chest of the Z-shaped biological combat body.

——It was only injured, it was not killed by the prisoner's blow!
Liu Ping moved his fingers lightly.

Holy healing technique!
This is the strongest healing technique in Liu Ping's hands right now.

A soft light appeared on the chest of the Z-type biological combat body, healing its injuries a little.

"I'm coming!" Yana said.

She casually released a blazing holy light.

——As a paladin comparable to a god, her healing technique has reached a terrifying level.

The wounds on the Z-type biological combat body recovered instantly.

"Damn it, it's a paladin..."

The prisoner cursed, waved his hand and released a ball of black light to attack Yana.

The white shadow flashed.

The black light was sent flying by it, and immediately after, it had arrived at the prisoner's back.

The prisoner didn't have time to continue to release spells, and barely turned around to catch the continuous attacks of the Z-shaped biological combat body.

boom--

Amidst a rumbling sound, the prisoner and the Z-shaped biological combat body flew upside down at the same time.

Several wounds appeared on the Z-type biological combat body again.

"fine."

Yana casually released a ball of holy light, which immediately healed the wounds on the Z-type biological combat body.

"How many times can you use your healing technique?" Liu Ping asked.

"If it's a healing technique of this level, I can release it continuously for a day and a night." Yana said.

Liu Ping was slightly relieved, and looked at the prisoner not far away.

Slight cracks were seen on some of its bones.

Liu Ping pondered for a while, then waved his hand and released a warm and soft light, which fell on the prisoner.

Immediately the prisoner's wounds disappeared.

"Are you healing me?" it wondered.

"Winning or losing is actually not important," Liu Ping said with a smile, "I hope that you will fight fairly, show your style, show your results, and show the spirit of our Eternal Night World."

The prisoner was about to recite a spell, but after hearing Liu Ping's words, he forgot the spell for some reason.

"The human soul has always had problems of one kind or another," it sighed.

Liu Ping raised that heart without hesitation, and said:

"Honestly, I rarely see someone with a heart outside their body - if I crush this heart, what do you think will happen next?"

"Wait a minute!" The prisoner looked at the heart in his hand and said repeatedly.

"What do you want to say?" Liu Ping asked.

"As long as you return my heart to me, I will sign the Eternal Night Contract with you, and I will never trouble you again from now on." The prisoner roared irritably.

"Is there such a good thing?" Liu Ping smiled.

"You and I have no enmity, I have been looking for my heart, but I never thought it was here... in your hands, I only want it." The prisoner said.

Liu Ping wondered, "But it's clearly the devil's heart—"

"Don't worry about it, give it to me, and I can make an oath, turn around and leave, and never trouble you again." The prisoner said.

"What about the core cards of this sequence?" Liu Ping asked.

"You and I will share equally." The prisoner said.

evenly divided...

"What about all the humans living in this sequence world?" Liu Ping asked.

"You can't take them away." The prisoner tentatively asked.

"Yes, I can't take them away, and even if I take them away, they may not survive in the eternal night world outside." Liu Ping admitted.

The prisoner said: "Then, I will take their souls and use them to build a dark drama that belongs to me, and pick valuable souls from it—maybe you, as a human being, don't know what a dark drama is, but this is my dark drama." You don't have to worry about them any more."

Its three heads said in unison: "Fortunately, human, this is your only chance to escape from my hand."

"Dark drama? Kill it!" Liu Ping ordered.

The Z-shaped biological combat body turned into a swift white shadow and rushed straight to the prisoner.

at the same time.

Liu Ping squeezed hard, crushing the heart into pieces.

"No!"

the prisoner roared.

suddenly.

The Z-shaped biological combat body rushed halfway, and complicated and strange characters appeared on the surface of the body.

It suddenly erupted with an aura that far surpassed itself, and it landed in front of the prisoner in a flash, hugged the prisoner, and rushed towards the depths of the distant mist.

"You're going to die—"

The voice of the prisoner came from afar, but in the mist, all kinds of rustling sounds suddenly became like a roar, chasing the direction of the prisoner and the Z-shaped biological combat body.

at the same time--

The ruby ​​on the ceiling of the church suddenly emitted a dazzling brilliant light.

I saw two rays of light falling on Liu Ping and Yana, leading them into the sky and flying towards the depths of endless darkness.

I don't know how long it has been flying.

The two fell quickly and stood on the ground.

"This is……"

I saw another church here.

and--

Exactly the same as the previous church!
A light door quietly floated in mid-air.

There is no one around.

From the jewel came a voice:
"If you want to get the core card of the sequence, you must enter from this mirror world to find it."

"Congratulations, you have passed my test."

Liu Ping couldn't help asking:
"Who are you?"

There was a low laugh on the gem: "Many years ago, when the Void Pillar was coming to an end, our human race had no choice but to fall into purgatory and eternal night."

"What did you say? Above Purgatory and Eternal Night, there is a divine pillar?" Liu Ping lost his voice.

"Of course, but it has been destroyed, the void is nothing but the void," said the voice.

Liu Ping said: "Then you—"

The voice continued: "At that time, I was in the sequence world of 'Land of Exile', fighting some kind of unspeakable monster for the final battle."

"Those devils dare to break in, trying to surrender me and that monster into slaves."

"Of course, they failed. In the end, they had to merge with us with the strongest devil, temporarily restraining us and preventing us from escaping from this world."

"That devil just lost its heart."

"and--"

"The unspeakable monster that fought me that year opened the prison room."

"It's a pity that it fell short and was sealed in the sequence of fools."

"Now."

……

Snow mountain.

Tens of thousands of miles away from the snow-capped mountains.

The top of the tall building in the Machinery City.

A delicate woman flicked the long transparent string in her hand, and said softly:

"Guess who I am now?"
