Purgatory Artist-Chapter 182: The Prison Cell

In the void of space.

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

[You've filled your Role points.]

[You are about to receive a new Mystic-type Ability]

[Due to the fact that you once lost the power of 'First Actor' and rejected the chance to debut as a 'Popular Actor']

[You have to start all over again]

Liu Ping was speechless.

The 'First Actor' was lost due to time travel, what did that have to do with him?

As for the 'Popular Actor', this was a skill that could be temporarily forgiven by bowing and apologizing.

It couldn't solve the problem at its root, it could only buy time.

In the face of the iron fist of the Law of Causality, once the time was up, what should be done would be done.

Such a skill had no meaning at all.

What was wrong with rejecting the chance to become a 'Popular Actor'?

In the void of space, lines of burning words continued to appear:

[Congratulations]

[You've received a new mystic type skill]

[Acting Ability: Fishmonger]

[Description: You can integrate into groups that you originally couldn't and become a member of the group. You can learn how to communicate with the group and not be questioned by the group]

[To release this ability, you have to imitate the group in a certain aspect for the ability to be successfully activated]

[Becoming extremely good at fishmongering, only then can one become a group actor]

.

(TN: Probably a Chinese joke we don't quite understand.)

.

Liu Ping was speechless.

This Heroic Spirit UI, he didn't know where it got these strange abilities from, but they all had such shocking effects.

From these words, did it mean he had to work hard to become an extra actor?

He looked to his side, only to see Zhao Chanyi, the Warrior and the Devil Lord all frozen in place, not daring to move.

The Warrior looked around desperately, but he couldn't find any trace of Liu Ping.

Yana's cloak already covered Liu Ping and couldn't be detected by the outside world.

The bugs hadn't noticed the commotion yet.

Liu Ping thought for a moment, then said unwillingly,

"Sequence, if I continue to receive Mystic Abilities in the future, and finally reach the 'Popular Actor' stage, do I have to accept that ability in order to continue to develop to a higher level?"

A line of burning words appeared:

[If you can discover a relatively valuable secret in the future, you will skip the 'Popular Actor' stage and directly receive the next level of Mystic Abilities]

"What is it?" Liu Ping asked.

[No comment]

Just as Liu Ping was about to say something, he saw the worms move.

Swarms of Worms and insects swarmed towards the wall like a tide, which made one's hair stand on end.

Did they discover the situation here?

"There are too many. We can't kill them all." the Devil lord said, his face pale.

"Give it a try!" The warrior was not satisfied. He flew out from the window and waved his sword in the air.

Boom!

Endless flames were emitted from the blade.

However, there was a fiery-red bug that went up and let out a sharp cry.

In an instant, the flames were sucked dry by the insects.

The warrior's expression changed.

He saw that the void around him was already filled with insects, completely surrounding him.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Ping stretched out his hand and bellowed, "Return."

Two soft sounds were heard.

Zhao Chanyi and the Devil Lord turned into cards and were put away.

Meanwhile.

Lines of notifications also appeared before the warrior's eyes.

[Attention!]

[Your level is not high enough to complete the current mission.]

[Please leave immediately!]

The warrior let out a long sigh. He was still a little reluctant.

Suddenly, a half-human, half-insect monster appeared behind him.

That monster lightly raised its arms.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

Clang!

The warrior suddenly reacted and used his sword to block the monster's attack.

However, such a fierce sneak attack directly sent him flying out of the window, and he rolled down from the window sill in the air.

The swarms of insects swarmed towards him.

In an instant.

The warrior turned into a pile of bones, falling down the sturdy and broken steps, gradually scattering to the ground.

The insects flew around for another round before gradually calming down.

They crawled on the walls, landed on the steps, and filled every place within sight.

Even the huge black metal pillar was crawling with half-human, half-insect monsters.

The world returned to silence.

"How is your body?" Liu Ping silently asked.

"I'm too weak right now. I'm afraid I'll need a few months of rest to recover." Yana said.

"Seems like you woke up too quickly." Liu Ping sighed.

"Where is this place? What happened after I fell asleep? "Yana asked softly.

"It's a long story." Liu Ping said.

He briefly recounted what had happened recently.

Yana listened carefully and said, "Seems like we have to think of a way to get out. Help me to the window to see what's going on outside."

"Alright." He directly carried Yana and the two of them were wrapped in a large black cloak. They silently went to the edge of the window and looked outside.

Outside, there was only an endless void.

There was no scenery, no land, and no life.

No matter if it was up or down, they couldn't see the end.

"Why don't I try to climb down the wall and see what's down there?" Liu Ping said.

"No, you can't go out. I've already sensed that the laws of Purgatory have formed a chaotic tide of power outside. If something goes out, it won't end well." Yana said.

She thought for a while, bent down laboriously, picked up a stone and threw it out of the window.

As soon as the stone was thrown out, the void suddenly flashed.

Under the gaze of the two of them, the stone was directly crushed into dust and fell down the endless cliff.

"Seems like we have to think of another way." Liu Ping said.

He carried Yana and returned to the other side of the window again, looking into the prison room.

A dense sea of insects.

A three-headed corpse that was a hundred meters long.

A giant black metal pillar.

How could there be a way out in such a place?

Yana suddenly said, "I can feel the power of time and space constantly being produced from one place."

"I can't feel anything at all." Liu Ping said.

Yana let out a chuckle. "You're not a god, so naturally you can't feel the flow of the laws."

She reached out and gently pointed in a direction.

"Look"

Liu Ping looked in the direction she pointed. He saw that at the bottom of the giant black metal pillar, at the place where it connected to the prison room's floor, there was a broken black hole.

This hole was only half the height of a person and was blocked by many insects. If they didn't keep staring, they wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"It seems like something broke open the giant black metal pillar." Liu Ping said.

"This is a completely sealed prison cell, and the power of the laws of time and space is constantly escaping from that hole ... This is too strange." Yana said.

Liu Ping was silent for a few breaths, then said, "Let's go there and take a look."

"I'm afraid we can't get through, These insects are very troublesome."Yana warned him.

"Are they very strong?"

"The strongest ones already have the power of a god. If we don't get close while wearing the cloak, they won't be able to detect us. But if we insist on getting close to that giant black metal pillar, they will definitely sense it."

"Tsk, that's troublesome."

Liu Ping thought for a few breaths, then gently put Yana on the ground.

"Yana, I have a mysterious ability, but I haven't had the chance to test its power."

"You plan to test it here?"

"This is our only way to escape. If I fail later, you hide."

"... Are you confident?"

"No, but I want to try."

After saying that, Liu Ping walked out from the cloak. While the insects hadn't noticed him yet, he took a stance on the spot.

He raised his hands, imitated the movements of the insects, and walked around shakily.

Almost instantly.

Soon, the surrounding bugs noticed the commotion.

A group of insects swarmed over, all letting out sharp screeches as they pounced towards Liu Ping.

Yana's heart skipped a beat, she couldn't help but pull out her whip: "I'll help you."

"Don't move." Liu Ping quickly said.

Yana was stunned.

A second later.

The insects landed on the windowsill, circled around, and came in front of Liu Ping.

Liu Ping raised his hands and shook his body while mimicking the sound of an insect. He let out a cry that was filled with doubt.

The insects stared at him for a while.

Liu Ping's body shook even more violently, and he let out a bored cry.

The killing intent of the insects slowly dissipated.

They let out a few low screeches, then turned around and flew away.
