Purgatory Artist-Chapter 223: Secret

In the arena.

Liu Ping sighed tiredly and walked to sit beside Libertas.

"Do you smoke?" Libertas asked.

"No, you can smoke it yourself" Liu Ping said.

Libertas lit a cigarette and took out a bottle of wine. "The surgery has been going on for two days and two nights. I guess you need something to refresh yourself. Since you don't smoke, why don't you have a drink?"

"Ah, that's fine. Thanks."

Liu Ping took the bottle, opened the cap, and drank slowly.

"Liu Ping, how is she?" Lilith asked.

"Everything went well. I didn't waste the three months I spent." Liu Ping said.

"Three months?" Lilith was shocked.

"Don't worry. The owner of the book is not in Evernight. He's in a very strange place. I worked with him for three months." Liu Ping said.

"Why did you take so long?" Libertas asked.

"The book in my hand is stolen goods. Its owner is very angry. I have to spend a lot of time to become friends with him to resolve this matter."

Liu Ping said with a look of reminiscence.

At the beginning of the conversation, the black shadow had directly said that the book was a stolen item.

Over the past three months, he had helped the black shadow complete nearly a hundred dissections. Finally, he got a question in return.

"You're not inferior to anyone in terms of knowledge. Why did you steal this book?"

"Actually, it's not like that ..."

At that time, he told the black shadow what had happened.

The black shadow was silent for a few seconds and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I have no proof. I think it's better to let you see my attitude and methods in academic research. Only then will it be convincing," Liu Ping said.

The black shadow laughed. "Interesting. If that's the case, I definitely can't let the thief get what he wants. I won't kill you. Instead, I'll help you. It's best if I can catch the real thief."

He took out a set of surgical equipment and placed it in front of Liu Ping.

"Go. I'll sponsor you for this dragon spine surgery. I hope you can save the dragon."

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

"You're welcome. I hope you can improve your strength quickly. Otherwise, your strength will limit your achievements in anatomy."

"Why?"

"Because for some corpses, you are not strong enough to even stand in front of them, let alone dissect them."

"Understood. Thank you again."

"You're welcome. You can keep the booklet. Come back when you're above level 20. I'll bring you to see some interesting corpses."

"Alright."

... ...

Liu Ping took a sip of wine and looked at the operating table not far away.

Andrea lay there quietly with her eyes closed. Her breathing was steady and gentle.

"When will she wake up?" Lilith asked.

"Changing the dragon spine is equivalent to changing a dragon's life. Her soul and body need time to adapt. We don't know how long it will take." Liu Ping said.

Lilith said in a hurry, "But the surgery was a success. She's fine now. We just need to wait, don't we?"

Liu Ping and Libertas both laughed.

"Absolutely."

Liu Ping said.

Lilith heaved a sigh of relief and jumped onto Liu Ping's head. She pulled his hair and said, "Liu Ping, I'm hungry."

"Then let's get ready to eat." Liu Ping stood up and said.

He softly chanted an incantation.

Warm and bright light shone down and turned into a long table in front of them.

Sumptuous, piping hot delicacies filled the table, whetting their appetites.

Libertas put out his cigarette and sat at the table. He picked up a bowl of noodles and started eating.

Lilith hugged a bunch of grapes and ate happily.

Fire Fang gnawed on a plate of roasted suckling pig.

Liu Ping turned around and said to the Blazing Fire Monkey, "Let's eat together."

The Blazing Fire Monkey begged, "Big Brother, I was wrong. I won't dare to eat anymore. Please forgive me."

"Alright." Liu Ping smiled and asked, "How's Aldrich doing now?"

The Blazing Fire Monkey was a little hesitant.

A holy light appeared on Liu Ping's hand.

The Blazing Fire Monkey went limp and knelt on the ground. "Big Brother, please don't treat me. I really don't have any strength left."

Liu Ping shook his finger casually.

The holy and warm light jumped back and forth on his fingertips.

Liu Ping flicked his finger lightly.

The holy light flew out and landed in front of the Blazing Fire Monkey, drifting with the wind.

Liu Ping said: "Aldrich — —"

At this point, he paused.

The Blazing Fire Monkey looked at the holy light in front of him, gritted its teeth and spoke: "A few days ago, the Matriarch came to the manor to see him. She said that he was a talented seed of humanity and was worth nurturing. Everyone is trying to curry favor with him now."

"Is he a human?" Liu Ping asked.

"Yes." the Blazing Fire Monkey didn't understand.

— — He wasn't.

Aldrich once accidentally cut his finger, and Fire Fang caught the scent of his blood.

He had the blood of a high-ranked Devil!

He was the Matriarch's son!!!

Liu Ping's expression didn't change and asked again:

"Who's the strongest human on your side?"

Since the Blazing Fire Monkey had already spoken, he continued: "There's a pair of sisters who surpassed most of the evil creatures in the monor and became Divinities. They shook the entire Divine Pillar — — you should know this as well, they are the twin Goddesses of Agony and Torment."

"Of course I know."

Liu Ping's gaze became deep.

So they became Divinities at this point in time ...

The Blazing Fire Monkey didn't notice anything and continued: "As soon as the Lady Agony became a Divinity, she immediately knelt in front of the Matriarch and begged to be turned into an evil creature. The Matriarch is still considering it; as for the Lady Torment — — she's a Holy Knight of humanity, extremely talented and loved by many Combatants of humanity."

Liu Ping silently listened.

Yana is a Holy Knight, a natural leader who received the trust of all humanity.

It would be strange if those evil creatures didn't plot against her!

As for Lady Agony— —

She's quite clever.

But what exactly is she thinking?

Liu Ping recalled the dark play and came to a conclusion.

Indeed.

Her body and heart already belonged to the evil creatures.

The Blazing Fire Monkey observed his expression and suddenly begged: "I've already said so much, if you don't take me in, once Aldrich finds out that I betrayed him, I'll end up in a terrible state."

Liu Ping replied: "Very well, I'll take you in first, then we'll — —"

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred!

The Blazing Fire Monkey suddenly uttered a short shriek, then curled up into a ball and rolled around on the ground.

At the table, Lilith suddenly looked up and glanced at the Blazing Fire Monkey.

"Liu Ping!"

She called out.

Instantly.

Lilith disappeared from where she stood.

The book called [Death Puppet] appeared in front of Liu Ping and quickly opened.

"When it tried to betray Aldrich, it instantly died — — we need to restrain it right away, otherwise, a spell will erupt from its body."

Lilith hurriedly told him.

"How do we do that?" Liu Ping asked.

"Use your Soul Points to activate the tome and silently chant [Death Puppet]!"

"Got it."

Liu Ping held the book and infused his Soul Points into it.

Two lines of burning text quickly appeared:

[You've expended 3 Soul Points to activate Death Puppet]

[Remaining Soul Points: 14/17]

The book with a black cover trembled a bit.

An eerie fluctuation silently spread and landed on the Blazing Fire Monkey's body.

Its trembling body stopped.

"Now that its body is ours, no matter how the spell inside its body transforms, it won't be able to harm us." Lilith said.

At the very next moment, a furious voice came from inside the Blazing Fire Monkey's body:

"Damn it, just a bit more!"

"Since a long time ago, Cards have been disappearing from my side, thief — — don't let me catch you!"

Bam — —

The Blazing Fire Monkey's body exploded into a cloud of bloody mist.

Its soul and body no longer existed.

Lilith's regretful voice came from the book:

"The puppet was destroyed — — it couldn't be helped, the other party had already placed some sort of spell inside its body."

"Seems like that guy found out, how unfortunate." Liu Ping commented.

The entire arena began to dissipate as soon as the Blazing Fire Monkey died.

Everyone found themselves back in Eternal Night.

— — -The place called [Grey Rock Forest ].

Liu Ping found himself standing by a dried-up riverbed with the Tome in his hand.

Lilith was standing at the edge of the open book, her entire body giving off a grey glow.

Libertas and Fire Fang were sitting on top of a long rock, the sumptuous meal in front of them had disappeared without a trace.

"It died just like that?"

Libertas rubbed his stomach, feeling that he wasn't full and regretfully asked.

Fire Fang moaned as his hair stood on end.

"That was Aldrich's voice just now."

He spoke in a low voice.

Liu Ping suddenly turned around and looked at him: "You can speak now?"

Fire Fang was surprised, then happily replied: "Yes, it seems my bloodline is advancing to a higher level, so I've regained the ability to speak."

"— — Liu Ping, be careful, Aldrich has already noticed that his Cards are disappearing. Next time, he will definitely prepare even more measures to deal with you."

"I know." Liu Ping replied.

He looked back and forth in all directions.

There seemed to be a faint sound coming from the distant forest.

"Someone's coming, return to the Tome first, I'll check if it's the group of fugitives the ancient tree mentioned."

Liu Ping said.

Everyone nodded, turned back into Cards, and flew back to the book.

Liu Ping walked in front of the operating table and lightly touched it.

The entire operating table, along with Andrea, turned into a card and was carefully placed on a page of the card book.

Lilith suddenly showed a worried expression.

Liu Ping sharply noticed it.

"It's fine."

He put the Tome away, then put Lilith on top of his head.

"Liu Ping, don't easily expose your Tome , don't easily bet with others." Lilith grabbed his hair and said.

Liu Ping smiled.

"It's fine, Lilith, I'm not an inexperienced youth, I've been through too much." fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

"Realy?"

"Yes, trust me." Liu Ping said confidently.

A few moments later.

A group of people appeared in the Grey Rock Forest.

The leader looked at Liu Ping from afar and loudly said:

"The inexperienced youth in front, raise your hands!"
