purgatory artist

Chapter 97 Andrea
The wind howled.

Liu Ping kept falling.

All the sculptures on the pillars woke up and stared at him silently.

A series of whispers sounded.

Liu Ping tried his best to listen, but couldn't hear those voices clearly.

But soon, a realization emerged from his mind:
"In the world system of Purgatory and Eternal Night, the rules on the mysterious side dominate everything, manifested as cards."

"—Now, you have to establish a connection with the rules of the eternal night."

"The first method: Find an existence in Eternal Night, or draw the treasures in Eternal Night into cards, sign a summoning contract, and then you can be recognized and accepted by many rules of Eternal Night."

"If there is no friendship in Eternal Night, then the second method must be used."

"The second method: stretch out your hand and draw a random card in the void—"

"This card must come from the cohesion of the eternal night rule."

"The above two methods are optional."

"As long as you successfully establish a connection with Yongye, from now on, the endless rules and existence in Yongye will present ready-made cards for you according to various summoning conditions for you to drive."

Liu Ping slowly stretched out his hand to draw a card from the void.

The endless black mist gathered and gradually condensed in the void in front of his hand, and it was about to form a card——

Liu Ping withdrew his hand suddenly as if he was electrocuted.

Just now, while he was flying and falling, he saw a sculpture.

The sculpture is of a little girl.

She stood alone in a corner with her eyes closed, as if she had fallen into an eternal sleep.

But looking carefully, there is a bit of pain in her expression.

Around her, endless dark aura surged continuously.

—she seemed to be in danger.

Liu Ping fell extremely fast, and fell down in an instant, and the statue of the little girl could no longer be seen.

——But he couldn't forget the scene just now.

"is her!"

"She fought with me many times and saved me..."

"In this way, I can actually ask her to come, but I don't know if she is willing to accept my call."

Liu Ping silently called out in his heart: "The Lord of True Red—"

"Lord of True Red, if you want, please come and build the contract of Eternal Night with me!"

On the eternal night pillar, the little girl suddenly opened her eyes.

"Who is calling me? Wait, this is... the Pillar of Eternal Night!"

She suddenly reacted, jumped up, turned into a red glow, and chased towards the depths of the darkness.

Hongmang's speed was extremely fast.

After a few breaths, she caught up with Liu Ping.

"You have become a card master!" The little girl looked very happy and said loudly.

"Yeah, I have to sign a contract with the existence in Yongye." Liu Ping said while falling.

"So you found me?" The little girl grimaced.

"I thought we had fought side by side, so I called you here, and wanted to ask you if you would like to sign a contract with me." Liu Ping said.

The little girl sighed, and said in a low voice: "Liu Ping, Yongye's watch world is on the verge of destruction. At this moment, I am about to face a powerful and unparalleled doom. If I can't get over it, I will be eaten."

"What do you want to say?"

"If you sign a contract with me, you will be implicated."

"Small things, I don't care."

"That old god is evolving...it's after me, and we'll be eaten together."

"Don't worry, with me here, I will never let you be eaten."

"are you serious?"

"Look!" Liu Ping pointed at the eternal night pillar.

The little girl looked along his fingers, and saw countless beings on the divine pillar staring at the two of them.

Liu Pingdao: "They are all here to witness what I said, if I can't do it, if I abandon you and run away, if I let you be eaten by monsters, I will never have the face to seek the approval of these existences in Eternal Night— —because I failed to protect my own people."

He took a breath and said loudly, "Come on! You saved me before, now it's time for me to help you!"

After speaking, he held out his hand.

The little girl lowered her head, then raised it again, showing a bright smile.

"Okay, it's a big deal to be eaten together!"

She stretched out her hand and pressed it against Liu Ping's.

Yana quietly appeared next to the two of them, and said softly: "Use my strength, and the great rules of the Eternal Night Divine Pillar, to build a shelter for the heroic spirits in the Eternal Night."

She swung her long whip, and outlined light streaks of dark green light in the void.

These rays of light flew all around the little girl and turned into the frame of the card.

"Relax, it will be fine soon." Yana said.

"Then I'm Liu Ping's first heroic spirit, Liu Ping, you have to treat me kindly, do you hear me?" The little girl became nervous again.

"Don't worry, I have killed thousands of enemies since I practiced Taoism, but only 51 of them are women." Liu Ping said sincerely.

"...Can I go back on my word?" the little girl asked.

"Start!" Yana shouted.

Ribbons of dark green light quietly floated in the air, framing the little girl.

In an instant, the four green rays turned into the edges of the card, gradually turning into dark color, and the little girl jumped out of the paper——

A card is complete!

This card in Eternal Night flew back to Liu Ping's hand.

Liu Ping picked up the new card and took a closer look.

I saw blue sky and white clouds drawn on this card, and various flowers bloomed on the high emerald green mountains, and the little girl stood beside the flowers with a sweet smile on her face.

Her voice came from the card: "So your deck is called 'Joy'!"

"Yes, this is the wish in my heart." Liu Ping said.

The little girl said: "When you name the card 'Joy', all the card patterns you draw will be in bright colors, and I will be in the scene I am looking forward to in my heart."

After the little girl finished speaking, she looked towards the distant mountains and flowers.

She was walking among the flowers, and suddenly stretched out her hand, picked a flower from the flowers and put it in her hair, turned around and smiled, "Thank you, Liu Ping, my real name is Andrea."

In the void, lines of small burning characters quickly appeared before Liu Ping's eyes:

"You summoned the heroic spirit in the eternal night: Andrea."

"She approved of you."

"She agreed to your summoning, and has since become your first heroic card, fighting for you."

In an instant, all visions disappeared.

Liu Ping found himself back in the wilderness.

In his hand, he held a card he had never seen before.

The little girl stood in the center of the card, smiled at him, turned around and ran towards the valley between the mountains.

There is a clear spring there.

Liu Ping gently put away the card and carefully stored it in his bosom.

"You need a card book - when the matter here is resolved, we will go to the stronghold established by the Hellflame Bank to help you buy the best card book." Yana said.

Liu Ping put his hand on his chest and twitched——

The clown card was drawn by him, and he returned to his original appearance.

"Well, first pass the first half of the night smoothly, and then go to the practice world, and try to solve everything tonight." Liu Ping said.

"Then we'll leave right away." Yana said a little uneasy.

Liu Ping glanced at her, nodded, took out a headset and put it on, and asked, "Wang Meng, how is the situation?"

"We just returned to Dark Fog Town." Wang Meng's voice sounded.

"Okay, I'll be right back." Liu Ping said.

He flew high into the sky and landed on the square of Dark Mist Town in just a few minutes.

I saw Wang Meng and the leader of the tactical team were here.

The expressions of the two looked a little dignified.

"You're back, where's the hyena?" Wang Meng asked.

"killed."

Liu Ping looked at the team leader and said, "The old god was lured away by you?"

"Yes, we used firepower to attract its attention, and then led it in another direction." The team leader said, turning on the hologram.

I saw the old god walking towards the distance of the horizon step by step with heavy steps.

It walked for a while, and suddenly stopped in place.

"Why don't you go?"

The team leader wondered.

The old god slowly turned around and looked in the direction of Dark Mist Town.

Yana's voice suddenly sounded:
"Be careful, Andrea has become your heroic spirit. All the tracking techniques of this god will fall on you, and it will find Andrea's whereabouts from you."

"Look at these people, can they block that monster?" Liu Ping asked.

"Okay." Yana said.

Liu Ping breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay to block for half a minute." Yana added.

Liu Ping: "..."

Yana: "..."

"That won't work, we have to find a way." Liu Ping said.

He passed through steel buildings and came to a remote ruin.

"Put this on."

Liu Ping summoned Andrea, took out the bamboo hat, and handed it to her.

"Covering the breath? Although it's a bit crude, it's better than nothing."

While talking, Andrea put the bamboo hat on her head.

She suddenly froze for a moment.

After putting on the hat, his aura completely disappeared, and even the bloody smell emanating from the wound on his body was completely covered.

"What kind of treasure are you?" the little girl asked uncertainly.

"I added a formation plate to the bamboo hat, with a 'clothes of color' on it, so the isolation is stronger." Liu Ping said.

"It's powerful—but it's useless. That guy searched for me with the power of the Nightmare Age. Its power suppresses these things in your hands according to the rules." Yana said.

The little girl looked a little dazed, as if she had fallen into some kind of memory from the past.

"Liu Ping, I remember that I told you that when the world of practice comes to the first point of collapse, I will show you the reality of this world." She said.

"You said so." Liu Ping said.

"That monster...is the ultimate truth." The little girl said.

"What exactly is it?"

"You don't need to know what it is. You only need to know that it came because Purgatory is in chaos, and the countless beings sleeping in the eternal night will also have to wake up because of the nightmare and fight accordingly."
