purgatory artist

Chapter 42
"It's good if you're full. I'm actually afraid that you won't find anything to eat, so you have to eat me." Liu Ping joked.

The little girl giggled.

She opened her blood-colored eyes, looked Liu Ping up and down, and said: "Your piano sounds very nice, besides, I can't eat you for free, I will return this soul to you."

She threw it casually, and a phantom of a woman suddenly appeared in the void.

"This is?" Liu Ping asked.

"The real soul of the body just now, I ate the monster that controlled her, and I will return the soul to you." The little girl said.

Liu Ping was taken aback for a few breaths.

The female cultivator's soul slowly woke up, and she opened her eyes to look at Liu Ping, with pleading eyes in her eyes.

Liu Ping slowly clasped his hands and made a gesture.

Successful!

A ray of light flew out of his hand, quickly enveloping that soul.

At this time, a change occurred——

I saw that soul seemed to be pulled by something, soaring into the sky with a whoosh, and quickly flew into the depths of the dark sky, where it could no longer be seen.

Liu Ping was stunned.

"You delayed for too long, and her soul was taken back." The little girl sighed.

The little girl looked at the night sky, her expression suddenly changed.

"She was put back again, but this time no one followed her..."

The little girl murmured softly, and turned her eyes to the Western Wilderness Camp.

Liu Ping said: "Wait a minute, I was going to use a kind of magic to temporarily arrest her soul, but why did her soul escape? Where did it go?"

The little girl's gaze was even more complicated, and she suddenly smiled and said:
"Forget it, don't worry about the soul, why don't I teach you a way to eat the soul, which can help you become stronger."

"As long as you give me a little time, it's very easy to be strong. You don't need to eat other people's souls." Liu Ping said.

The little girl stared at him.

The expression on his face was natural and earnest, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing.

The little girl didn't know what to think, and was silent for a while.

"Did you see the skyfall this time?" she asked.

"I see." Liu Ping said.

"It's not a naturally formed sky drop..."

"what is that?"

"It's because of the collapse of the plot, which caused a chain reaction."

The little girl said softly: "Go back, this matter is terrible, you can't participate in it, let's talk about it later."

"I want to see that vajra." Liu Ping said.

Both Sequence and himself need to study that vajra——

That is a weapon that fell from the upper realm!

The little girl shook her head and sighed, "I'll tell you something very important."

"What?" Liu Ping asked.

"The sky drop is completely independent of the plot, and it comes with great danger. Going to the scene of this kind of sky drop with your strength is tantamount to seeking death." The little girl said.

"how about you?"

"I didn't expect that the collapse of the plot would bring about this level of skyfall..."

"So that's it. It seems that this is the real reason for the monster riot in the dead world, isn't it?" Liu Ping said.

"Of course, the dead are a little uneasy..." the little girl said.

Lines of burning small characters suddenly appeared before Liu Ping's eyes.

"Notice."

"The tracker has been eaten by the Red Lord."

"The judge has noticed the death of the tracker, and it is coming!"

"The Judge is coming!"

"This sequence recommends that you escape from the world of death immediately!"

Liu Ping said speechlessly, "Didn't you hibernate?"

Another line of small burning characters appeared:
"Yes, in order to prevent detection, the sequence has been hibernated, and what you are seeing now is the automatic message of the emergency management mechanism."

Liu Ping showed a look of helplessness.

This guy has reason to say, but he just refuses to contribute.

...forget it, don't count on it.

got windy.

In the dark night, the cold wind howled, suddenly blowing the little girl's long hair.

She woke up suddenly and looked up at the thick lead cloud, as if she could see through it and see what was behind the cloud.

"... Have you been targeted?" the little girl murmured.

"Did it cause you some trouble after eating that monster?" Liu Ping asked.

"It's okay, I'm just going to see that guy's strength." The little girl said.

She thought for a few seconds, then murmured: "By the way... I seem to have said that I want you to see the truth of this world."

"Yes, you said so." Liu Ping said.

"Fighting is too dangerous, don't stay here, go back to the camp and have a look - I guess you might be interested."

The little girl stretched out her hand, tapped lightly between Liu Ping's eyebrows, and then lightly cut a hole in the magic circle behind him.

Seeing the little girl push lightly, Liu Ping retreated into the magic circle.

"Sorry, your battle formation is very powerful...but I have the ability to pass through barriers."

she said finally.

……

inside the camp.

Liu Ping stood on the edge of the inside of the formation, silent for a while.

--asshole!
With a pitiful look, he kept saying that he couldn't enter the human camp.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, a hole was cut in the large magic circle, and he pushed himself in.

Thinking of what happened just now, Liu Ping was furious.

He turned around and walked away, faster and faster, all the way through Fangshi——

But the pace slowed down.

In the void, lines of burning small characters quickly appeared:
"Attention, the other party released an unknown spell on you."

"You have been affected by the spell."

"—Your pupils are receiving this spell."

"We are about to see the effect of this technique, count down:"

"three,"

"two,"

"one!"

Originally, Liu Ping stood still among the crowd with a look of guard on his face, but suddenly——

He showed a slightly surprised expression.

After a few seconds.

Liu Ping's eyes became a little more bewildered.

He stepped forward, and while walking, he blankly observed the practitioners around him.

"Do you want me to watch this?"

he murmured softly.

——In his eyes, the world is no longer the same as before.

All practitioners, each of them has a long line behind them that exudes a faint halo.

Everyone has such a thread!

This thread is connected to the top of their back spine, and the other end rises high, leading to the depths of the dark sky, with no end in sight.

But everyone didn't realize it.

They seem to be in some kind of dream, carrying out the work at hand according to a fixed script, but they don't know why they are so busy.

Liu Ping couldn't help looking behind him.

No.

I don't have this thread.

He walked towards a person, passed behind the other person, and stretched his waist by the way.

—The arm passed through the thin wire without affecting it in any way.

Not knowing what came to mind, Liu Ping quickened his pace and walked in the direction of the sects.

He walked through the tents all the way, and finally arrived at the destination.

Tianyin Pavilion tent!
"My lord, what's the matter with you?" A male cultivator stood at the door of the tent and asked.

"I'm looking for Fellow Daoist Lian Yu." Liu Ping said.

The male cultivator looked him up and down, and suddenly saw his waist badge.

Taiwei Palace.

He nodded slightly, opened the curtain, and called inside: "Junior Sister Lianyu, someone is looking for you."

A voice came from afar:
"Here it is, who is it?"

Under Liu Ping's expectant gaze, a woman slowly walked out of the tent and looked at him with doubts on her face.

It was Lian Yu.

"Fellow Taoist, I don't seem to have seen you before." Lian Yu hesitated.

Liu Ping looked at her, speechless.

Behind Lian Yu, there is also a long line, leading to the depths of the dark sky.

She regained her body and came back to life.

Liu Ping looked over her head.

A line of fine print appears there:

"Golden Core Realm."

——There is no word "monster" anymore.

So what was eaten by the little girl just now was actually that monster?

The little girl's name is the Lord of True Red.

"The existence with this name feeds on all devils and controls all poisons in the world."

... That monster is the devil.

"It's true that I haven't seen it. I just listened to your music outside and was impressed by it, so I came here to admire it." Liu Ping clasped his fists and said.

Lian Yu was taken aback, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

A lot of people have come to talk to me recently, even this——

Huh?
If you look closely, he is much more handsome than everyone else.

Moreover, he is also a disciple of Taiwei Palace.

young.

...is the type I like.

"If you want to listen to the music, you can come to my sister at any time, my sister will not accept your spirit stone." Lian Yu smiled at him, and handed over a communication talisman.

"Thank you, I will definitely do it next time." Liu Ping said.

He exchanged a few pleasantries with the other party, then took his leave and turned to leave.

On the road, everyone has that thread behind them.

Countless lines interweave in the night sky, going deep into the clouds, and it is impossible to see where they are going.

Liu Ping looked up for a while, with a complex look on his face.

What is behind this thread?
one way or another.

Practitioners have been playing their original roles. Even if they die, their souls will be taken away so that they can be resurrected at any time, come back, and join the whole deduction process again.

—and they themselves are ignorant of everything.

"It's really annoying... They are all people who are dedicated to transcending life and death, but they end up in a situation where life is worse than death..."

Liu Ping narrowed his eyes and slowly clenched his fists.

After a while.

The technique attached to Liu Ping's pupils gradually faded away, and those lines slowly disappeared from his eyes.

Lines of burning small characters quietly emerged:
"You have seen an unprecedented manipulation of sentient beings."

"It's an extremely rare secret."

"Your role has increased a little."

"The current scene is 7/10."

"When your role reaches 10 points, you will gain new mysterious abilities."

"Please keep working hard."
