Chapter 61
The tree man lay on the ground and said loudly:

"Hey!"

"do not come!"

"There are traps everywhere, only behind me is safe-you go around behind me, and I will tell you how to get there!"

Liu Ping also said loudly: "Okay, wait a moment."

He made a big circle and came behind the tree man.

"Take three steps forward to the left, yes, and then move five steps sideways to the right."

"Two steps forward."

"Keep to the right again."

……

After a lot of effort, Liu Ping finally carried the tree man on his shoulders, and slowly retreated from the flat land full of traps.

"There is a very serious problem, you must pay attention to it in the future." Shuren said.

"What?" Liu Ping asked.

"You shouldn't have rushed into that house when you heard a little noise - after all, you don't know what's inside, maybe it's another trap, if it's a trap, you're dead," said the tree man.

Liu Ping was stunned for a few breaths, reached out to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and said sincerely: "Thank you for reminding me, I will definitely pay attention in the future."

Before I went in, I knew there was a dead person inside.

But I can't say that, after all, I'm just a newcomer from the wilderness who doesn't know much about anything.

Seeing his frightened appearance, the tree man couldn't help laughing.

The only mistake the kid in front of him made during the whole battle was rushing into the house just now.

This error is fatal.

But considering his age and experience, he has actually done quite well.

"Hahaha, relax, as a junior night watchman who grew up in the wilderness, you have done a good job. Your problem is that you have never met a professional opponent." The tree man said.

"Professionals are all good?" Liu Ping asked.

"It's hard to say, sometimes even I don't know what the enemy is good at." Shuren said.

"Why is this happening?" Liu Ping asked in a daze.

"Because civilization is always developing in a variety of ways, if you don't know the other party's civilization background, you can't judge which side the other party's ability is biased toward." Shu Ren said.

"Side?" Liu Ping continued to ask.

The other party finally didn't want to explain any more, and re-spoken:
"That's where civilization is headed—it's too early to tell you, put that card on top of my head now."

There is no more information for now.

Liu Ping felt a little regretful, but he still put the card on top of the tree man.

That card suddenly turned into a ray of light, which scattered on the entire tree one after another.

Bang!
A muffled sound.

The big tree split open, and a man got up from the tree.

The man was covered in cuts and bruises, and his whole body was stained with blood. As soon as he stood up, he immediately said:

"According to the contract with the devil, I survived the night and arrived at the dawn. Please heal all my injuries and restore my deck."

There was a muffled laugh in the light.

"You survived... Well, let's gamble next time."

All the rays of light sank into the man's body.

The wounds on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, without leaving a trace of scars.

Until this moment, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out a windbreaker and put it on, nodded to Liu Ping and said:

"As the person who saved my life, you can know my name, my name is Luo Sheng."

"Luo Sheng?" Liu Ping repeated.

"Yes, my affairs are confidential, so don't talk nonsense about saving me—I have other ways to repay you."

The man named Luo Sheng thought for a while and said, "Last night's skyfall is actually a secret, and part of it can be told to you—somewhere outside, some worlds are suddenly dying, which is uncontrollable. And no one knows about it yet.”

He lit a cigarette and continued: "—what's your name?"

"Liu Ping."

"Liu Ping, you will be responsible for reporting this matter, which will be a great credit."

"What about you? Since you know about this, you should get the credit." Liu Ping said puzzled.

Luo Sheng glanced at Liu Ping unexpectedly, and said with a broken smile, "Young man, it's not okay for you to always think about others like this, but I do appreciate you a little bit."

"Because I saved you?" Liu Ping asked.

"Yes, before last night, I never thought that I would fall into such a situation. It was truly hopeless, so I had to go all out. I used the devil's bet card and hid in the tree to survive... Fortunately You showed up, you wouldn't know how I felt at the time."

He stretched out his hand and patted Liu Ping's shoulder vigorously, seeming to be quite emotional.

Liu Ping didn't speak, just looked at him blankly.

——Of course I know how you feel, you were made like that by me.

But then again, you're good enough.

The one named "The Lord of Creeping in Nightmare" is the old god, but he still failed to kill you, and you hid from it.

Card Master... Interesting...

Liu Ping thought silently.

"Okay, let's see who that guy is."

Luo Sheng walked towards the corpse.

He looked at the man over and over again, and found a line of unrecognizable blurred words on the other's arm.

Luo Sheng gradually became serious.

"This is a divine script that tortures a lady... She is her slave, I didn't expect it to come so soon..."

Liu Ping asked from behind him, "Who is Torturing Ms.?"

"She is a god, an evil god, and she is waging war against us," Luo Sheng said.

He paced back and forth, as if thinking about something important.

For a while.

He stopped abruptly, and threw out a card.

Bang!
That card turned into a mobile suit several meters high, and the cockpit opened accordingly.

"I have to report other things, boy, you can work hard and become stronger. If you can survive this war long enough, maybe we will meet again."

Luo Sheng jumped onto the mech and said to Liuping.

The mecha quickly rushed up to the sky, drew a long cloud line, and disappeared at the end of the sky.

Liu Ping stood there for a while.

Lines of burning small characters appeared in front of his eyes:
"You've got war information: imminent danger."

"You have seen the battle of the gods in torment and pain, and fought with the slaves who tormented the Lady."

"You learned the name of a master spirit catcher, established contact with him, and obtained the gift information."

"Your role is increased by 1 point."

"The current scene is 5/10."

--okay.

This person is still alive and has left a name.

The secrets of the living are better to pry than the dead.

Since this person knows the bartender's number, it must be related to the organization behind the bartender.

This is easy to do.

Sooner or later, I will follow the vine to figure out the secret behind this person.

Liu Ping said, "Hey, I've found out so many things, you should at least give me some hints and tell me what to do next."

Lines of burning small characters quickly surfaced:
"This sequence doesn't know anything about this world and can't tell you anything."

"You need to find clues yourself."

"When you get the secret, you can exchange scenes with this sequence, and then gain some kind of extraordinary ability."

After reading it, Liu Ping shook his head and said, "Others want money, but you want secrets—forget it, in fact, I also urgently need to know all the secrets of this world."

He suddenly heard some movement.

I saw another figure coming out from the depths of the ruins.

- S0005 robot.

It walked through the ruins step by step, and walked towards Liu Ping's position, with a mechanized voice in its mouth:
"Please take out your ID card, I need to verify your identity."

Liu Ping stared at the robot.

No text floated above the robot's head.

But the gun in the robot's hand pointed at Liu Ping, emitting a thin light.

These rays of light shone straight on Liu Ping's body, as if carrying some kind of murderous intent.

"That's it again."

Liu Ping sighed, took out his night watchman card from his body, and handed it to the robot.

——The last time the group was destroyed, this robot also came out and helped the bartender complete the resurrection.

A light flashed from the robot's eyes, and it scanned the card.

"Verification passed."

"Damn it, it's really you. I didn't expect that even the whole town was razed to the ground this time. It really scared me."

The voice of the robot has become more emotional, not as dull as before.

The gun in its hand folded quickly, and finally turned into a wrench, which it put into its crotch.

"It's just a card, how can you confirm my identity?" Liu Ping asked.

"The identity card is constantly monitoring the fluctuation of the owner's soul. If the soul is occupied by something else, the card will immediately self-destruct." The robot said.

"So, you've been waiting here for our return?" Liu Ping asked.

"Yes." said the robot.

"It's just you and me left now, it's really difficult to keep this place." Liu Ping said with emotion.

"What happened last night?" the robot asked.

"You don't know?" Liu Ping said.

"My job is different from yours. My duty is to save my life, and then clean the floor the next day, so I hide in the underground secret room every night." The robot said.

"I see."

Liu Ping recounted what happened last night.

"Really? This matter is very important, you can't lie, otherwise the consequences will be serious." The robot said solemnly.

"Really." Liu Ping said.

"Fine, so now we have good news and bad news, which would you like to hear?" the robot asked.

"Bad news." Liu Ping said.

"The bad news is that the bartenders are all dead," said the robot.

"Didn't I tell you about this just now?" Liu Ping asked with a dull face.

"But it's bad news," insisted the robot.

"...you should tell me the good news."

"The good news is that you have gained good information. If we spread the news, and the people above know the whole story, perhaps neither you nor I will be punished," the robot said.

"The people above—who are you referring to?" Liu Ping asked.

"We all belong to the company, and Dark Fog Town was also established by the company alone." The robot said.

Liu Ping hesitated and said, "The company is—"

"A for-profit organization, by the way, you have received too little common sense education." The robot said.

"Who is the owner of the company?" Liu Ping asked sharply.

"God." The robot said.

"God?" Liu Ping repeated.

"Listen up, boy, our company is run by the Goddess of Pain, and it's her business in this area." The robot said.

"Gods also do business?" Liu Ping spread his hands, somewhat in disbelief.

"Of course, who doesn't need money? You, me, the bartender and everything here is the property of the Goddess of Pain."

The robot said impatiently.
