Purgatory Artist-Chapter 245: Hidden Cards

"Now, guess who I am?"

The voice echoed in the empty and silent church.

The door of light floated quietly in the air.

Liu Ping looked around the church and didn't find any monsters or anything strange.

The other party's methods were brilliant.

"Guessing your identity, is this the test for obtaining the card?"

Liu Ping asked.

The voice sounded again.

"You didn't give the heart to the devil but crushed it. This has passed my test for you. As for who I am, if you can guess it, I will reward you."

Liu Ping asked, "Reward?"

The voice said, "I will tell you the secrets of the Land of Exile."

Liu Ping fell into deep thought.

The secrets of the Land of Exile were too deep. If the other party really knew these secrets, it would be extremely valuable to him.

After all.

Whether it was the scenes or the experience points, he needed to explore the secrets.

Knowing the secrets of the Land of Exile could also help him better deal with everything that happened here.

Liu Ping thought and slowly said, "You know that the corpse insect is sealed in the world of The Fool ... I guess you must have used some method to tell me so much. You must have found out that I was the one who sealed the corpse insect."

"That's right. Continue" the voice said leisurely. "The more outstanding you are, the more confident I am. I will tell you the real secret."

Liu Ping thought for a while and said, "If there are three existences sealed in the prisoner's body, one is the guy who turned into a corpse insect and escaped into The Fool, and the other is the three-headed skeleton just now. The remaining existence should be parasitic on Hua Qingkong."

"I'm not parasitic. I responded to her call" the voice said.

"Responded?" Liu Ping was surprised.

"She is an extremely rare Spirit Summoner ... Not only is she talented, but her will is also compatible with mine ... Thus, she woke me up from my endless slumber."

The gem suddenly shone again and turned into a light shadow.

Snow mountain.

In the howling north wind, a young girl trudged through the rugged mountain path.

Hua Qingkong!

Corpse insects surrounded her one after another, constantly attacking her.

Dark light constantly appeared around the girl, repelling the corpse insects and sending them flying.

"This won't do. I have to find a stronger spirit. Otherwise, I will only end up being eaten by these bugs!"

The gloomy light around the girl suddenly exploded, sending all the corpse insects flying.

Her eyes flashed with a blazing light. Her body floated up and her hands clasped together in a praying posture.

"With my life force, combined with all my wishes — —"

"Come, spirits of the void!"

"No matter who you are, as long as you can defeat this enemy with me, please help me!"

The world shook.

Far away in the sky, a silk thread came and trapped all the corpse insects around Hua Qingkong.

A voice rang out, "Who ... are you?"

"I am Hua Qingkong, the Spirit Summoner. Please come and help me defeat these insects."

"Insects ... I remember now. I am their enemy, but to defeat them, I need to borrow your body."

"Possession?"

"Yes. Remember, once I possess you, it's almost impossible to separate from you."

"I have no choice. If you don't come, I'll be eaten by the insects." Hua Qingkong gritted her teeth.

Boom!

Boundless light descended from the sky and surged into her body.

... ...

All the lights and shadows gradually faded away.

Liu Ping said: "Then the corpse insects that attacked you ..."

The voice replied: "They carry the power of that Unspeakable monster. When I was trapped in the cave, I wanted to see what you would do — — up until now, I've been paying attention to you."

Liu Ping said: "If that's the case, I seem to have guessed your identity."

There was complete silence.

The other party didn't say anything.

Liu Ping was a bit surprised. Don't tell me they're just toying with me like that.

He suddenly sensed something and looked up.

The gate of light slowly shrank and descended towards Liu Ping.

— — -it turned into a Card and lightly landed in Liu Ping's hand.

The card depicted a boundless graveyard. In the middle of the graveyard, there was a magnificent church that emitted a faint glow.

Lines of burning words appeared in his mind:

[You've obtained the Card: Holy Cathedral]

[Note: In the historical records of the past, it was described in detail how it was corrupted by darkness and evil. But that was a fake Holy Cathedral, the real one had always been hiding in the mirror world, waiting for some sort of summon]

[Someone must tell you, only then would you know what its power is]

[— — This is the core Card of the 'Land of Exiles']

Liu Ping looked at the card quietly.

The voice finally spoke up:

"This Card can dispel all prying, preventing any entity from noticing that you have a core Card of the 'Sequence' on your body."

Following the voice's explanation, the same explanation appeared on the Card.

"Go, your only chance is to collect all the core Cards of the 'Land of Exiles'"

"So what if I do? I still wouldn't be able to fight against that evil creature head on "Liu Ping said.

The voice doesn't know about the Heroic Spirit UI on my body.

Why did it ask me to collect the core Cards?

The voice continued: "The secret I want to tell you is actually this — —"

"'Land of Exiles' is a complete Deck of Cards."

"Once you collect all of its core Cards, you will be able to awaken the hidden Card within the Card deck."

"It will be your strongest aid."

Liu Ping couldn't help but ask: "Wait a minute! Why would there be a hidden Card? "

"Every sequence has a hidden card ... If you can survive, I will tell you about this in the future."

The voice slowly became weaker and disappeared into the void of space.

At the very next moment.

A few lines of burning text appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes:

[The current world has been eliminated]

[Spatial overlap has been dispelled]

[Time has begun to reset, returning to the moment you entered this world]

Light flickered around him.

The entire world then disappeared.

Liu Ping found himself back on a solid road, surrounded by a long line of carriages.

The leader's voice came from afar:

"What happened?"

Wind Demon Lorenzo hovered in the air and spoke in surprise: "Huh? The spatial overlap had clearly appeared, why did it disappear again? "

Someone called out: "Report! My warriors have disappeared! "

Someone else loudly called out: "Boss, we're also missing a few people."

Lorenzo the Wind Demon flew down and quickly questioned those people.

Everyone remained vigilant.

Liu Ping looked around, only to see that the Professionists didn't notice anything and only focused on the fields on both sides of the road.

They didn't know that they had just disappeared.

In other words — — -

Time really did reset.

... What kind of method is this?

Liu Ping silently sighed. Yana's voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

"I seem to have obtained quite a bit of EXP, I'll be able to increase my strength very soon."

"You're a peak Holy Knight, can you still continue to improve?" Liu Ping asked.

"Originally, I was already at max level and could only advance towards Divinity — — - but after receiving your Sequence, the path of the Holy Knight seems to have extended even further — — to a level that I can't even comprehend." Yana spoke with a tone of disbelief.

"Then continue to improve, we'll have to be more active now."

Saying so, Liu Ping looked at the void of space in front of him.

Lines of burning text hovered in the air:

[You've heard of the secret of the Void Pillar]

[You've discovered the three identities of the prisoner]

[You've heard of the secret of the hidden cards of the 'Land of Exile']

[Role Points + 3]

[4/10]

[Furthermore, you've discovered a large number of secrets during your exploration, thus increasing your EXP]

[Current EXP: 110%]

[Would you like to level up?]

— — I can level up now!

Liu Ping looked around and saw everyone's anxious expressions, so he shook his head: "Not now, wait until later."

The notifications on the UI stopped moving.

Several desperate screams could be heard from the group.

Wind Demon Lorenzo loudly declared: "All Professionists, prepare for battle!"

He flew towards the source of the screams, then — — -

Everyone saw the monster.

It was a monster with a human upper body and an insect lower body.

It had been hiding in the void until Lorenzo passed by. Then, it suddenly jumped out and stabbed at Lorenzo.

A Card suddenly appeared from Lorenzo's body.

"Hurricane Blade!"

He roared.

Intense and complex blades of wind erupted and sliced the insect into several pieces.

"Not a devil — —"

Lorenzo looked at the monster's corpse and couldn't finish his sentence.

Someone next to him exclaimed in shock:

"What kind of monster is this, I've never heard of it before!"

Everyone gathered around and silently looked at the monster's corpse.

No one could answer that question.

An eerie atmosphere began to spread among the group.

"Let's go, don't stop, we need to move forward now"

Lorenzo made a prompt decision.

"But sir, a few of us have disappeared — — - shouldn't we stop and look for them?"

One of the Professionists asked.

Lorenzo abruptly turned around, stared deeply at that Professionist and replied: "I wield the power of wind, so I can sense everyone's presence. Those people's presence just now have already disappeared"

Saying so, he walked towards the front of the group.

That Professionist was stunned.

Very quickly, no one paid any attention to him. Everyone silently moved forward.

The group was moving forward at an unimaginable speed.

While riding his horse, Liu Ping turned his gaze to the void of space.

A new line of notifications appeared in front of his eyes:

[The Heroic Spirit UI has obtained the 'Land of Exile' core Card, beginning to evolve]

[Congratulations]

[You may now adjust the Heroic Spirit UI again]
