Purgatory Artist

　　 "I don't understand... You just said that we can even bring people out and work for us... It doesn't seem feasible." Liu Ping said.

　　 "Come with me, you will know immediately." Wang Wei said.

　　 At this time, the two have reached the end of the road.

In front of 　　 is a magnificent hall. A huge light screen is suspended in the hall. Many people surround the light screen to check something.

　　 A mechanized voice resounded loudly, echoing throughout the hall:

　　 "Capture mission No. 9012 has failed."

"caution!"

"caution!"

　　 "Capture target: Li Changxue, who is about to become a sword fairy, has the support of the elders of the sect, and now possesses unfathomable danger. Leave it to be observed for the time being and don't capture it."

　　 "Repeat again, Li Changxue has entered an unstable state, and it is extremely difficult to cardize, so don't catch it for now."

　　Wang Wei stood there and listened intently, the expression on her face gradually becoming solemn.

　　 "I have clearly planned for many years, at least 70% sure, but failed at the last minute... Why do I always feel something is wrong..."

　　 She whispered.

　　 Liuping stood behind her honestly, looking at the light screen.

　　 I saw Li Changxue's appearance on the light screen, followed by lines of introduction:

　　 "Qing Mingmen Yuan Ying Jian repair;"

　　 "I am about to become a cultivator of God;"

　　 "I am about to break through the realm of kendo and become a sword fairy;"

　　 "Character status: missing."

　　"——Capture mission No. 9012 failed!"

　　 Liuping said nothing, but recalled the scenes that happened last night in his heart.

　　 Li Changxue was poisoned.

　　 All the male Xiu heard the news and went to look for her.

　　 Big brother donated medicine and sword.

　　 Big Brother failed the mission and fled back to the company.

　　 An electric light flashed through Liu Ping's heart.

　　 It turned out to be so.

　　 Everything is to capture Li Changxue!

　　 The appearance of Li Changxue stayed on the light screen for a while, turned into a line of small characters, and flew into a ranking list.

　　 Liu Ping looked over and saw a line written on the ranking list:

　　 "The most valuable soul."

　　 Li Changxue ranked eleventh in that ranking list.

　　 As for the first place——

　　 Liuping's gaze moved upward along the ranking list, and finally stayed in the first row.

　　 "The first place in character evaluation:"

　　 "Target name:???"

"gender:???"

　　 "Identity: Lord of the Magic Way."

　　 "Explanation: This is the existence that can command the entire magic way. According to legend, he has countless spiritual knowledge in him, and he can fly to the upper realm at any time, but no one can find a clue about him."

　　 "Anyone who provides clues will directly receive the spiritual stone reward of the world of practice: 1,000 yuan."

　　... So I was also on the list.

　　 So I am so valuable? Top of the list? invincible?

　　 Although he knew that he shouldn't, Liu Ping still felt a little unstoppable in his heart.

　　 Wang Wei glanced back at him and smiled: "See? We can actually absorb the people inside to the company-in the form of slaves."

　　 "But how can they be willing to be our slaves?" Liu Ping asked.

　　 "Card." Wang Wei spit out two words.

　　 Liuping laughed, and exclaimed: "It's amazing."

　　 slut.

　　 How dare you put me first on the slave list?

　　 But then, is the card master a slave owner?

　　 "The power of cards is infinite, representing a certain level. It is a rule that even the gods must recognize, but it is not so easy to be a card master." Wang Wei said.

　　 "How can I become a card player?" Liu Ping asked.

　　Wang Wei was about to speak, but an electronic sound appeared out of thin air:

　　 "Director Wang, the elite tactical team in Area C has been assembled, waiting for your order."

　　 The door on the side of the hall opened.

　　 I saw a quite spacious aircraft dock inside.

　　 Dozens of people in combat uniforms stood in a line and looked at Wang Wei in battle.

　　 The smile on Wang Wei's face grew a little bit thicker.

　　——Who doesn’t like subordinates getting everything ready early?

　　 In order for everyone to understand this preference, a total of fifteen lives were spent.

　　 Fortunately, good value for money.

　　 Wang Wei said to the dozens of armed men:

　　 "It has been verified and the intelligence is true."

　　 "Follow the night watchman and set off immediately. Defend the Dark Mist Town tonight, don't let it be swallowed by the world of death, and by the way, scout the situation in the first act."

　　 "Twenty minutes later, the town’s reconstruction team will be ready. They will be responsible for the reconstruction and upgrading of Dark Mist Town, and you must guard this evening—you will rely on you all night."

　　 "Do you understand everything?"

　　 Everyone shouted in unison: "Understood!"

　　 Wang Wei beckoned, and a spaceship quickly landed on the terrace.

She turned her head to look at Liu Ping, and said solemnly: "Liu Ping, as a night watchman, he has made Dark Mist Town fall. This is your dereliction; but you have obtained extremely valuable information. Wait for you to complete this guide mission. , I will dispense with your punishment and even give rewards. Did you hear me clearly?"

　　 "I heard you clearly." Liuping said.

　　 "Finally, do you have any questions?" Wang Wei asked.

　　 "There is one," Liu Ping hesitated.

　　 "Say." Wang Wei said simply.

　　 "Can I become a card player?" Liu Ping asked.

　　 There was silence all around.

　　 Liuping found that everyone's expressions became strange.

Sudden--

　　 "Hahahahaha!"

　　 "Hahaha, this kid is such an idiot!"

　　 "It's worthy of being a man from the wilderness."

　　 "I heard it's a scavenger, hahaha, it's really interesting."

　　 "It really is a blank piece of paper."

　　 "Quite stupid, pretty stupid!"

　　 Everyone burst into laughter.

　　 Liu Ping was puzzled by the smile, and couldn't help looking at Wang Wei.

Wang Wei laughed and said: "You must pass the tests of the gods before you have a chance to become a card master. This is a very serious matter. Under normal circumstances, you need to make a considerable contribution to the company. Someone recommends it."

　　 "So, I took it for granted." Liu Ping sighed.

　　 Suddenly, a voice came from far away:

　　 "Do you really want to be a card player?"

　　 Liu Ping and Wang Wei looked together, only to see a man in a monk's robe walking towards them.

　　 Wang Wei's eyes lit up, and she smiled softly: "Luo Sheng! How did you dress like this? You want to enter the world of spiritual practice again?"

　　 "Li Changxue's matter was my mistake. I will go in and take a look again and find a way to make up for the mistake."

　　 Luo Sheng said, and nodded to Liuping.

　　 "I didn't expect to see you so soon, I thought I would have to wait a long time." Liu Ping said.

　　 "I did a divination and found that I had some bad entanglements with you... I guess it was because I didn't pay enough remuneration, so fate would bring me some dark and difficult omens." Luo Sheng said.

　　 Liu Ping stared at him blankly, his face full of uncertainties.

　　——What, what are you worrying about, I have already harmed you, and you will be fine in the future!

　　 Luo Sheng stared at him, and suddenly said: "You are too young to understand the danger in this, but I decided to pay off the life-saving grace owed to you in order to cut off the entanglement between you and me."

　　 He took out a thick book and placed it in front of Liu Ping Ping.

　　 "I would like to introduce Liu Ping here, and give him and my credit to the goddess of pain, and eager for the goddess to start the soul trial for him."

　　 There was silence all around.

　　 Almost everyone is in a sluggish state.

　　 The book exudes layers of light, floating quietly in front of the willow plane.

　　 Wang Wei suddenly exudes a touch of majesty.

　　 She became serious, and said, "The goddess is busy fighting against the evil gods. I am afraid that there is no time to come personally. I will start the soul trial for him."

　　 "Thank you." Luo Sheng winked at Wang Wei.

　　Wang Wei walked to Liu Ping'an and gently raised his hand, pressing it on the book.

　　 Liuping suddenly appeared in front of his eyes a burning line of small words:

　　 "An extremely harsh soul bet has appeared:"

　　 "Success in the next trial, you will be recognized by the gods, and you will be qualified to become a card master from now on;"

　　 "If you fail, your soul will belong to the goddess of pain, and you will become her slave forever."

　　 Liu Ping asked silently: "Has anyone passed this trial?"

　　 Another small burning line appeared: "Although strict, this is indeed a rule recognized by the gods. Out of every million challengers, occasionally one person will succeed."

　　 "Through the analysis of related laws, this sequence learns the following truth:"

　　 "There are many ways to become a card player."

　　 "——The one you face is the most demanding one."

　　 Just listen to Wang Wei said: "Liu Ping, you have an extremely rare opportunity. As long as you pass the soul trial, you can become a card master. Are you willing to participate in this trial?"

　　 She and Luo Sheng both held their breath and stared at Liu Ping.

　　 Liuping smiled happily and said, "Of course I do."

　　 boom——

　　 A ray of light flew out of the book, wrapped in Liu Ping and went to the sky.

　　Wang Wei and Luo Cheng stood there, looking at the direction where Liu Ping disappeared.

　　 I saw a phantom appearing above the hall, revealing a majestic spire building.

　　 "Too anxious, he has a lot of potential, it's a pity to just waste it like this." Wang Wei said softly.

　　 "I've missed it once. Only by giving his soul to the goddess can I make up for the mistakes I made a little bit." Luo Sheng said.

　　 "The goddess does like this young and originally promising soul, but..."

　　 Wang Wei sighed and said, "If he succeeds..."

　　 "The company has an additional reserve card master. The goddess will only be satisfied with my recommendation and will not punish me; this child will also be grateful to me." Luo Sheng laughed.

　　Wang Wei said: "So that's it, you always count as an exhaustive strategy-why did you fail to capture Li Changxue before?"

　　 The smile on Luo Sheng's face froze.

　　 He lowered his head and said gloomily: "That is a very strange thing, I haven't figured it out until now..."

　　……

　　Night.

　　 Liuping stood there and looked around.

　　 Familiar streets, familiar buildings, and even the familiar city walls.

　　 This is Dark Mist Town.

Do not.

　　 Dark Mist Town has been reduced to ruins.

　　 How can there be a small town exactly like Dark Mist Town?

　　 There is no one on the street, only the bar at the end of the road is still lit.

　　 Liuping thought for a while, and started to walk ~www.readwn.com~ all the way to the door of the bar.

　　 Push the door in.

　　 I saw no one else in the bar, only the bartender sitting behind the bar, pouring a glass of wine.

　　 "Liuping, you shouldn't come."

　　 The bartender said without looking up.

　　 "Why?" Liu Ping said as he walked to the bar and sat down.

　　 "You performed very well in the battle. You are a potential night watchman. You shouldn't expect to pass this soul trial. It will ruin everything about you." The bartender said.

　　 Liuping laughed, and said, "Thank you very much for your care before...but I remember you died."

　　The bartender said: "Yes, I should have guarded Dark Mist Town for three months, but I failed."

　　 He drew out a handful of cards from under the bar and showed them one by one in front of Liu Ping.

　　The first one is the archmage Karadu;

　　 The second one is the exorcist old K;

　　The third one is Qi Lu, a warrior with heavy armor;

　　The fourth is the shield knight Alger;

　　……

　　All the night watchmen, even town guards, miners, blacksmiths, winemakers, brothel ladies, etc., all appear as cards on the large mahogany table.

　　 They lined up neatly, looking at Liu Ping sadly.

　　——It turns out that everyone is a bartender's card!

　　 Liuping's eyelids twitched, his expression gradually becoming solemn.

　　 The bartender sighed and said, "I have such a complete deck, but I still failed. Right now I can only give all the bets to the gods."

　　 "What is your bet?" Liu Ping asked.

　　 "The gods are only interested in one thing in us——"

　　The bartender looked at Liu Ping quietly, and uttered two words:

"soul."
