Purgatory Artist

Vol 2 Chapter 2: Dark mist town

  Many years later, some people may think of that distant afternoon, in the streets of Dark Mist Town, a young and immature scavenger came down.

  —That was a teenager.

   He was covered in yellow sand, he looked only a teenager, low-strength, humble, and worried.

   If it is changed to another time, someone will inevitably come forward to question and collect the goods in his hands.

   But today, on this venomous afternoon of the sun, shortly after the sandstorm has dissipated, before the night is about to come—

   Everyone's mind will not be put on a young scavenger at all.

after all.

   Entering the world of death, even picking up waste, is extremely dangerous work.

   It is an extremely lucky thing for this boy to come back alive.

reward?

   Without strength, what kind of gains can he get.

   The harvests of the boy and him may be some garbage that is not on the table.

   No one took care of this immature scavenger.

   The scavengers had to walk around the town, remembering many buildings one by one.

   This town seems to have gone through a catastrophe. Many houses have collapsed, but people don't seem to care about it, leaving the houses to remain collapsed.

   In the whole town, there are only a few buildings with their doors open, and someone is guarding the door to show normal operation.

   Scavengers finally stopped.

  He stood still in front of the biggest house in town.

  —This is a bar.

   The juvenile scavenger looked at the time.

   Exactly a quarter of an hour.

   "A man without a role" ends.

  The boy opened the door and walked in.

   Someone stood in front of him and asked: "Is it?"

   "The scavenger." The boy said.

   The man hesitated, but got out of the way.

   entered the door.

   Many people have seen him.

   "Is a foreign scavenger."

   "There is a smell of death on my body, I am afraid I have just returned from the world of death."

   "At such a young age, I dare to go to the world of death to try my luck. It doesn't seem to be stage fright... I think I am a veteran."

  At this time, people's thoughts are different again.

  —This young man, with such a low strength, would dare to go to the world of death, and be able to come back alive, maybe he has some ability.

So-

  His harvest may be...

   Behind the bar, a bartender yelled to Liuping: "The scavenger?"

   "Yes." Liu Ping agreed and walked to the bar and stood still.

   "How are your gains recently?" the bartender asked.

   "It's still done." Liuping said.

   "Since you know how to come here, do you want to exchange something?"

   "I want a formal identity."

"identity!"

   Several people who wanted to come up to talk stopped, turned around and returned to their positions.

The bartender stared at Liu Ping's eyes and slowly said, "Really? You seem to be only a teenager. You know, the wilderness is full of people who want to go to the dead world to try your luck. Most of them are reduced to monsters. Food, and you think you can get a formal identity?"

   "Just like you said, unlike other scavengers, I came back safely." Liu Ping said, his eyes and the bartender looked at each other without giving in the slightest.

  The bartender pursed his lips, suddenly a little bit unsure where to start.

   This kid is too calm.

   This kind of calm is beyond his original age range, and he can't pretend it at all.

  The reason why the bartender can become a bartender is that he has the ability to watch people and serve food, and he almost never makes mistakes.

   After hesitating for a while, the bartender drew a card from the thick pile of cards under the bar and glanced down.

   I saw a gray mist painted on this card, and countless distorted faces emerged from the mist, gathered around a dark figure.

   When the bartender looked at this card, the dense faces on the card turned away and stared at the bartender together.

  —Unexpectedly, it was this card.

   This card is "Dark Lucky", indicating that the person in front of you is quite valuable and suitable for reception.

The bartender smiled and said: "After entering Dark Mist Town, you walked outside alone for a quarter of an hour without anyone embarrassing you. Now you walked into the bar safely and came to me to make a request-it seems that you are already ready. ."

   "Please keep talking." Liuping said.

   "It's not very convenient here, come with me." The bartender made a please gesture.

   He led Liu Ping into the room behind the bar.

   The door closed.

  The bartender sat down at a large wooden table and said:

   "The machine said that you are from the Bluegrass Valley-as far as I know, it has been completely swallowed by Yongye, but such things happen in the wilderness every day, you better forget these things, sadness will only kill you."

   Liuping laughed and said, "Do you look at me sad?"

  The bartender smiled, and whispered: "Your Bluegrass Valley was destroyed by the swallow of darkness. From the map, there is no way to escape, so you all went to the world of death, and you—"

   "Not only did you survive, you also made a fortune in the world of death, and found your way back. You want to get an official identity from Dark Mist Town. Am I wrong?"

   "How can you know so clearly?" Liu Ping asked.

The bartender said in a natural tone: "Eternal night never stops eroding everything. It devours the land and life of the living world, and our Dark Mist Town is the only place of life within hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. You only have a little If you have a bit of head, you know what to do."

   "It seems that you have received many people like me." Liu Ping said.

   "—but you are the youngest." The bartender said, spreading a layer of cloth on the table.

   He pointed to the piece of cloth and said, "Okay, now let me see what you have. Don't worry, everything will follow the rules here."

   Liuping slapped the storage bag, and placed the portable miniature submachine gun and the Chijin spear on the table.

   "These can only be exchanged for some money. I want to exchange them for official status, not enough." The bartender shook his head.

   Liuping took out the spirit dog charm and placed it next to the submachine gun.

   The bartender took a look and said, "The talisman is indeed unique to the world of death, but your talisman is stained with blood, and the quality has to be compromised..."

   The bartender took the talisman, hesitated, took out a metal card from his arms and placed it on the table.

   Liuping looked at the card, and saw a rusty miner's **** carved on it.

The bartender explained: "The Talisman is a huge system. Every Talisman obtained from the world of death will help us to further understand the secret of the Talisman. Based on the value of this Talisman, you can stay in Darkmist Town and be a miner. ."

   Liuping was slightly startled.

   At this moment, he understood a lot of things.

   Hong Tao and Zhao Chanyi must have a deep understanding of the world of living people.

   They took themselves to pick up wastes, and they also deliberately warned about their identity, but they didn't say much about the things used to exchange their identities.

So…

   Take out that thing by yourself, it should be safe.

   "Actually I still have something to gain."

   Liuping said, put the golden spear and submachine gun back, took out the statue of the unicorn horse, and placed it on the table.

   As soon as the statue was placed on the table, the wall behind the bartender suddenly made a soft noise.

   A mechanized voice came from behind the wall:

   "According to the standards of the magic side civilization, this item has reached an excellent level and is being recorded."

   "The data has been uploaded."

   "The comparison is consistent, and the verification confirms that this is a worthwhile business."

   "Receptionist No. 03687, please reward contributors according to the rules, that's it."

  The bartender gave a frightened expression, stood up straight, and explained to Liuping: "This is a magic mount... It is a rare thing, from another world of death that has collapsed, and is of great research value."

   "—Since you can find such a rare thing, your identity is naturally more than just a miner."

   The bartender took out three metal cards from his arms and placed them in front of Liu Ping.

   The first card is engraved with a worn brown whip and a pair of crumpled leather gloves.

   On the second card is a torch, a pair of daggers and a crossbow.

  The pattern on the third card is relatively simple, it is a set of simple armor and spear.

   "Mine overseer, night watchman, and town guard. These are three official professions that you can exchange. Please choose one of them," the bartender said.

   He further explained: "Each profession has a corresponding training method, will teach you the relevant basic skills, have the corresponding power and salary, and be sheltered in the wilderness in the dark fog town."

   "Of course, if you can meet a certain standard, you can still be promoted upwards."

   Liuping took out the golden spear and gently placed it on the table in front of him.

   "This is for you," he said.

   The bartender shook his head quickly and said, "You don't have to bribe me. I can only act according to the rules. It is impossible to give you a formal profession outside the rules."

Liu Ping gently pushed the golden spear in front of the opponent and said, "Don't worry, I have no other requirements, but choosing a career is a vital life event for a newcomer like me, so I want to hear about it. A more detailed introduction."

   Under the dim light, layers of light radiated from the golden spear, and lightly spilled on the bartender's face, making his expression softer.

   The bartender laughed and said, "It is my job and my responsibility to provide professional explanations for every newcomer who joins Dark Mist Town."

   "In that case, I'll talk about it in detail—"

   He reached out and clicked on the three cards one by one, and said: "The supervisor guards the mine and supervises the miners to dig and inspect the minerals every day. It is hard work, but he has the power to control all the miners;"

   "Night watchman is the most dangerous of the three occupations, but the profit is the highest, and it requires a certain amount of strength to be competent;"

"If you want to stay in Dark Mist Town forever, then choose the town guard. The security and order in Dark Mist Town are the responsibility of the town guard. There are also times of battle, but now there are fewer and fewer villages and There are more and more strongholds, and the people who have arrived in our Dark Mist Town in recent months have almost disappeared."

   "You are still young, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, I suggest you become a guard of Dark Mist Town. In this way, you only use daytime patrols every day, and you don't have to go out at night, which is very safe."

   "Then, the night watchman..." Liu Ping hesitated and did not continue.

  —I don’t know anything, it’s better to let the other party say, after all, the money has been paid.

The bartender patiently explained: "When the night falls and the world of death coincides with our world, the night watchman is responsible for defending the Dark Mist Town at this time. The night watchman must participate in the battle for the first time-against those monsters. Even to deal with hidden time and space until dawn."

   "The whole town must be protected?" Liu Ping asked.

   "At least protect the bar. The bar is a place to release news and make transactions. It is also a place for people to rest and provide supplies; if this place is destroyed by a monster, then the town has no meaning." The bartender said.

   Liuping fell into thinking.

   There is only night in the world of death, and day is never seen.

  Hidden time and space...

   Liuping shook his head slightly.

  —No, that is the world of spiritual practice!

   That is our world.

   Why make it part of the world of death?

   If you choose the overseer or the town guard, I am afraid that you will never have the opportunity to explore the hidden time and space in the world of death.

So,

  The choice is already clear.

   Liuping stretched out his hand, picked one of the three metal cards, and spread it out in his palm.

   When he did this, the magic mount statue originally on the table disappeared—

   is like being taken away by something suddenly.

  The bartender saw this scene and his expression became solemn.

   He said in a formal tone:

   "Welcome to Dark Mist Town."
