Mechanus.
"Tasha, have you calculated it?" Sheng Mu asked.
"Not yet" the little girl replied.
The leaders of the three teams sat at the table, quietly watching her draw and calculate cards.
"You've been calculating for half an hour, and you can't even tell if the people of Night Wish are dead or alive?" Mechanic King said impatiently.
"Sorry, it's too difficult. I've never seen anything like this before."
The little girl named Tasha wiped the sweat off her forehead.
She showed the two cards to everyone.
"This black card represents death, and this white card represents life."
"But the two cards keep appearing alternately, making it impossible for me to calculate."
Everyone looked at each other.
"Tasha is our best Fortune Teller. If even she can't calculate it, then we can do nothing."
Evil Spirit sighed.
The Mechanic King suddenly had an idea and said, "Why don't we calculate what valuable things they got?"
Everyone looked at him.
"Why are you looking at me? I remember this is the easiest to calculate." Mechanic King said.
"Calculating this will cost me my lifespan. Captain, I don't want to do it." Tasha looked at Evil Spirit and said.
Evil Spirit's eyes flashed. He patted Mechanic King's shoulder and said, "Since your people are giving their lifespan, I'll let Tasha do it."
"It has to be voluntary." Tasha added.
The Mechanic King looked around and saw that all his subordinates were nervous.
A bunch of useless people.
Mechanic King cursed in his mind and said nonchalantly, "No problem, I'll do it then."
The little girl quickly handed a card to Mechanic King and said, "Hold it tight, it will absorb your lifespan."
"How long is it?" Mechanic King asked.
"Usually around seven months." Tasha replied.
Seven months of lifespan.
That's nothing.
"Alright."
Mechanic King held the card in his mouth, crossed his legs, and leaned back in his chair.
The little girl Tasha took a deep breath and said with a serious expression, "I'll begin."
She threw out the cards one by one, and they landed on the table with their backs facing up.
"First, let's see what they got."
A card was flipped open.
There was a deep cave drawn on the card, and it was filled with endless books.
"It's a secret harvest."
After saying that, Tasha reached for the second card.
"Now, let me see what kind of secret it is."
As soon as her hand touched the card, she was suddenly sent flying and let out a panicked scream.
All the cards were placed back on the table.
At this time, Evil Spirit had already caught Tasha.
"No! No divination! If we try to pry into that secret, we will all die! "
Tasha cried and shouted hysterically.
Evil Spirit's whole body trembled. He held her hands tightly and said, "Listen to me, it doesn't count! We won't! "
The entire room was silent.
Across the table.
On the chair.
A skeleton in clothes was leaning against the back of the chair with its legs crossed. It held the card in its mouth and did not move at all.
Mechanic King.
His lifespan was sucked dry, and he turned into a complete skeleton.
…
In the depths of Evernight.
Dreamscape.
At the police station.
Liu Ping sat down on the steps at the entrance of the basement and said,
"I'm about to level up."
"Me too" Libertas said.
"I've already leveled up" Hua Qingkong said.
"Woof!" Fire Fang followed.
Everyone was a little happy.
In the Eternal Night, strength was everything.
"Let's not talk about anything else. This Dream Sequence is indeed quite a shocking secret. It can give so much experience, even I'm about to level up" Yana said emotionally.
"Then, I'll stay here for now."
Liu Ping stared at the door and said, "According to the previous enforcers, as long as no monsters run out of the door, I'll be considered qualified, right?"
"That should be the case" Hua Qingkong said.
"I hope no monsters will come. They are existences of the Nightmare Era. The devils of that era were much stronger than now" Yana said.
"Anything else about the Nightmare Era?" Liu Ping asked.
"No, we only know some clothing, species, food, and so on. But the real secrets of that history are strictly guarded and won't be easily found out" Hua Qingkong said.
Suddenly.
Knock knock knock.
The door of the basement rang.
Everyone stopped talking.
Liu Ping held the cardbook with one hand and pulled out the Shadow Blade with the other.
"Who is it?"
A sharp voice rang out from behind the door.
"Open the door, I want to come in."
Liu Ping said, "No, you're imprisoned here. When the enforcers come tomorrow morning, they will interrogate you."
The voice suddenly became violent and growled, "No one can interrogate me … Everything of humanity will be destroyed."
Boom!
An endless blazing aura passed through the gap of the door and turned into a violent wind.
Liu Ping was almost blown away.
He couldn't help but hold the blade and sigh secretly.
Just by releasing his aura, it was already so powerful. If they really fought, would they be able to win?
He coughed softly and said,
"Idol brother, our extras are not in position yet. Please wait patiently for a moment."
An invisible force was emitted from Liu Ping's body.
Acting ability: Cameo Armor!
This time, it was different from when he flew over the forest.
At that time, Liu Ping was too far away from the black stone statue, so the skill was not successfully activated.
This time.
There was only a door between him and the monster!
The next moment.
The extremely violent aura suddenly disappeared, and the killing intent inside the door disappeared completely.
The voice became a little listless:
"When can you arrange everything?"
Liu Ping smiled and said, "There's no other way. The lighting engineer and the scriptwriter are blocked on the way. The extras are still handing out clothes. Please rest first."
The voice said, "It's a boring night. I thought I could kill …"
Liu Ping interrupted it and said, "You're the main character of this performance. Why don't you have a chat with me before everyone comes?"
The voice said disdainfully, "Chat with you? Although you and I are separated by a sealed door, I can feel that you're not even level 20. "
"I'm just saying." Liu Ping smiled and said.
"To you, a casual sentence from me is a secret that will kill you if you hear it. We have nothing to talk about." The voice said.
Liu Ping thought about it and agreed.
Previously, when he heard about the secret of the Void God Pillar and the prisoner, he was directly cursed by the Fiend Kings to the depths of the Eternal Night.
He died more than sixty thousand times.
If he had heard about the secret of the Nightmare Era again, he wouldn't have known what would happen to him.
But he couldn't not talk at all.
If the effects of the Cameo Armor ended and the monster came in, how would he fight?
Liu Ping thought about it and smiled, "Brother Idol, let's not talk about you. Let's talk about the performance."
The Cameo Armor needed to constantly mention words related to the performance for it to continue to be activated.
Moreover …
"How do you want to talk?" the monster asked.
"Let's talk about daily life. It's more common and mundane, some things that everyone knows." Liu Ping said.
"Hmph, I was publicly known as the Occult Devil King back then. In my era, how many people could compare to me? If not for the tricks of the humans, they wouldn't have won against me back then. "The monster said.
Liu Ping paused.
A line of burning words quickly appeared:
[You've heard about the secret of the past. The punishment mechanism of the demons and humans is about to be activated.]
Liu Ping slowly looked up at the void of space.
The void of space opened to both sides, revealing countless black shadows that said in unison, "This is a secret that you can't hear. Die! Die immediately! "
Liu Ping held his forehead.
The panda plushie on his waist kept twitching like crazy. It even rolled its eyes.
"Can you hold on?" Liu Ping asked in a low voice.
The panda breathed heavily: "Thanks to dying 60,000 times, I gained a bit of EXP beforehand, so I can barely hold on"
Before it finished, it began to twitch again.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
The void of space slowly closed.
All the supernatural phenomena disappeared.
Only a line of text remained in the void of space:
[Number of deaths: 80000 times.]
Liu Ping sighed and spoke to the other side of the door: "Brother Idol, let's not talk about your life. Let's talk about acting"
"Acting?" the monster was surprised.
"That's right" Liu Ping thought for a bit, then spoke: "I've always felt that your acting skills are truly outstanding, the kind that allows you to see through everything, no one can compare to you"
"You have good eyes!" the monster said.
Another line of text appeared:
[Your words of encouragement made it proud and excited]
[You obtained 0.1% of its Soul Points]
[Soul points gained: 10,000 points]
[You can now continuously level up, would you like to level up?]
Liu Ping glanced over it and was overjoyed.
Without a doubt, I can now continuously level up!
When he was about to say 'level up', the monster's voice came from behind the door again:
"Ah? For some reason, when I talk about acting with you, I suddenly remember something "
"What is it?" Liu Ping replied.
"Speaking of acting, I do have a deception-type Occultism Card that was stolen by someone" the monster behind the door said.
Liu Ping felt a bit uneasy and wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.
The monster recalled: "That Card, I think it was called [Rock of Nothingness ]"
"If that Card was still in my hands in the past, then combined with another Occultism Card, we might not necessarily lose to humanity"
A line of burning text appeared in the void of space:
[You've heard of the unspeakable secret of nightmares]
[Please have the panda prepared to die]
