Purgatory Artist-Chapter 234: Unknown, Unnamed

In the snowstorm.

A young girl was walking through the mountains by herself.

She had been walking for a very long time.

Until now.

On the other side of the mountain, a thick layer of frost had appeared.

The young girl stopped and looked at the frozen world.

She didn't act, only carefully observed it for a while before continuing to move forward.

Time slowly passed.

Half a day later.

The young girl arrived at the other side of the frozen world.

Standing at a high vantage point, she could faintly see a city within the frost.

The young girl silently observed it for a while.

She jumped down from a large tree and arrived at a clearing in the forest, then continued forward until she stopped in front of the frost.

"That's right, the place I sensed ... is here."

The young girl crouched down and picked up a map that was buried under a pile of dust and fallen leaves.

She looked at the map, then at the frozen world.

Within the frost seal, a dignified man stood motionlessly with a furious expression on his face.

The young girl thought for a bit and muttered: "Rebuild."

A few moments later.

Light began to move around her, replaying what happened at a certain point in the past.

A young girl whose entire body exuded a faint glow appeared and spoke: "My apologies, I've moved the border marker towards the Empire's direction ahead of time. Judging from the time, they shouldn't have left the Empire's territory."

Next to her, a young man threw a map on the ground and put a Card back into his chest pocket.

"My apologies, there's a bit of a problem with your map, we're standing right outside the border." the young man said.

The dignified man stood motionless as his body slowly became covered in frost.

"Damn it, those idiots."

He muttered in a low voice.

Hearing that, the young man said a few more things, then led the young girl away into the wilderness.

All the light faded away.

The world returned to normal.

The dignified man was still sealed by the gloomy layer of frost, completely motionless.

The young girl walked forward and silently stared at him.

"Your lack of understanding of humans is the reason for your failure. It's a good thing you failed, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to escape."

The young girl said.

She reached her hand out and lightly touched the frost.

A split second later.

Something seemed to have been activated.

A grand voice resounded from within the frost:

[Missing a core Card deck]

[This Sequence world has entered an emergency state of sealing, unable to respond to your orders]

The young girl stood still and remained silent for a while.

"Too much time ... has passed ..."

She sighed.

Tears rolled down her cheeks and fell to the ground.

The wind howled.

Snowflakes fell from the sky.

The girl turned around and looked towards the faraway void.

She suddenly disappeared.

The next moment.

Tens of thousands of miles away.

The girl quietly landed in a ruin full of dilapidated walls.

She turned her head and looked around.

"So it's a Sequence that's good at hiding."

This was a city that had been completely destroyed.

There was no sign of life.

The entire world seemed to be drowned in dust, falling into an eternal silence like a graveyard.

The young girl floated above the rubble and casually looked around the ruins, seeming to be rather aimless.

She flew forward.

In front of a broken wall, the girl stopped and looked at the wall with rapt attention.

Originally, there seemed to be a long paragraph of text on the wall, but the passage of time was so long that large chunks of the content on the wall had already peeled off, leaving only a few crooked words:

"With ... you joining us, we will definitely ..."

The girl hesitated for a moment and sighed. "There's no need to continue watching."

She casually grabbed a warped metal bullet in her hand and whispered, "Thread of Fate."

At the very next moment.

A figure abruptly fell to the ground.

This person was wearing a half-skull mask, holding a sniper rifle in his hand, his entire body stiff and unable to move.

It was the leader of Mechanus City's [Revelation] team, Ning Qiang.

"Don't ... don't kill me ..."

He trembled as he spoke.

The girl replied: "I need to see what happened to your body."

She reached her hand out, lightly tapped Ning Qiang's body, and spoke: "Rebuild."

Boundless light and shadows spun rapidly, and in an instant, they solidified into scenes from the past.

"I saw them, at the edge of the cliff, that young man was playing the flute for his partner."

"How romantic."

Bang!

"Fugitive lovers, die together."

Bang!

Another shot.

The girl lightly tapped the void of space.

All the images changed and manifested into a cliff at the edge of the snowy wasteland.

The young man was sent flying and fell down the cliff.

While the girl took one of the hits.

All the images stopped moving.

Seeing this, the girl muttered: "As promised, I didn't kill him, are you satisfied now?"

She stood motionless in the same place. Her pupils suddenly became lax, and then focused again.

"I am." she spoke.

"That's good, you can just observe from here on out." she continued.

The girl smiled, walked up to Ning Qiang, and put her hand on his chest.

"I'm sorry, I was only following orders, I didn't know I would offend you, please spare my life!" Ning Qiang quickly spoke.

The girl ignored him and muttered: "Requesting sequence link."

No sound came from the void of space.

A few moments later.

The girl continued: "Current sequence, as per the Final War Agreement, you must immediately check my soul waves and give a secret response to my orders, this is an order!"

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

Endless fog suddenly appeared around them.

In the depths of the fog, a metal building that connected the heavens and the earth suddenly appeared.

A mechanical voice followed:

[Card deck 9-2571, civilization survival sequence, named 'Mech Lord']

[Please inspect]

The girl nodded and muttered: "From now on, I'll take over some of them."

Bam!

A small sound.

Ning Qiang's head suddenly exploded as he collapsed.

...

Liu Ping continued to climb in the darkness.

Every time he lifted his foot, a flight of stairs would appear in front of him.

Finally.

The stairs also came to an end.

A powerful consciousness silently arrived, turning into endless fog and forming four blurry faces, just like the 40-meter tall statue.

The four faces lined up in front of Liu Ping.

A voice sounded in Liu Ping's ears:

「These are the four faces that make up the world, they are all secrets, everything that will never be understood.」

「Choose.」

「Use your most sincere wish to choose.」

Liu Ping silently listened.

Use

A wish

To choose a path.

"I've never encountered such a situation, but if I have to say what my current wish is, it would be to save the people around me ..."

"Save them from danger."

The powerful consciousness spoke again: ƒгeewёbnovel.com

「Save others, not make yourself stronger.」

「That's your wish?」

Liu Ping naturally said: "Yes, I don't have the ability to save them now. Now that I've finally reached level 10, I naturally hope to obtain some abilities that can help."

"As for becoming stronger, obtaining knowledge and secrets, and even some other ideas, I can slowly realize them myself."

"I hope to save the people around me."

The powerful consciousness said:「Are you sure?」

"Yes" Liu Ping said.

Among the four masks, three of them retreated into the darkness and gradually disappeared.

The remaining mask hovered in the air for a while before landing in front of Liu Ping.

At this moment.

The mask finally became clear.

Its surface was blank without any extra decorations, only a bright red outline where the eye sockets were.

"What is this?"

Liu Ping was puzzled.

「The ceremony has ended.」 The powerful consciousness spoke again: 「You are facing the most dangerous situation, you need to immediately put on your mask, leave the Eternal Night Divine Pillar, and return to the world you are in.」

Liu Ping's heart tightened.

Did something happen to Hua Qingkong?

A light projection appeared in the void, showing everything that happened outside.

Liu Ping quickly finished reading, put on the mask, and said: "Please send me back."

The next moment.

A huge impact hit him, sending him flying and landing in the endless darkness.

...

The wind howled.

Liu Ping was still falling.

"Liu Ping!"

"Wake up quickly! Otherwise, you will fall to your death, Liu Ping! "

Lilith shouted anxiously.

Suddenly.

A card appeared quietly and turned into the forest banshee.

She fell with Liu Ping and said: "It's too late, this is the sealed land of the Ceylon Kingdom, I can't use any other power here, I can only open the seal and let him in!"

"Then let him in!" Lilith was overjoyed.

"But once he enters, it will trigger the activation of time, his two companions and even himself will be killed by the prisoners!" The forest demoness sighed.

"What? Then what should we do? "Lilith said in despair.

A male voice sounded.

"It's okay."

The duo suddenly looked at Liu Ping.

They saw that he had already woken up, a halo was emitting alternating light and darkness above his head.

"Madam, please open the seal, let us enter the seal!"

He said.

Lines of burning words quickly appeared in front of his eyes.
