Purgatory Artist-Chapter 194: A Billion Square Kilometers

When Liu Ping returned, it was already the next morning.

In the outpost.

The three of them turned on a light screen and were watching the news attentively. They did not notice the change in his profession level immediately.

"What happened?" Liu Ping asked.

"The Emperor is giving a speech about why the sequence was shut down. He said that there will be an important announcement soon." Xiao Mengluo said.

"It's time for him to come out and explain the problem. After all, the sequence is the foundation of the Empire. If he doesn't explain it, the whole empire will be in chaos." Hua Qingkong said.

Liu Ping followed their gaze and looked at the light screen.

On the light screen, a middle-aged man with a goatee and a crown was speaking with a dignified expression.

He was the Emperor.

When Liu Ping looked at the light screen, he began to say the last sentence.

"Everyone, the reason why our war sequence was shut down for a few days is because it responded to my request."

"I want to find other human nations or human settlements. That way, the Empire can become more prosperous, and the human race can become more prosperous in the Evernight World."

"The war sequence gathered all of its energy and did a comprehensive survey of the A Billion square kilometers around the Empire."

"But after the war sequence's survey, it gave me a very unexpected answer."

The Emperor looked at the light screen and paused for a moment.

"Everyone."

"Other than us, the other humans have been wiped out."

"In other words."

"The Bright Night Empire is the last human kingdom in the Eternal Night."

"We need to think of more ways to allow ourselves to continue living in the Evernight, and not let those endless monsters eat our souls."

"For this, I will discuss the reform of the Empire with all of you."

"Ten minutes later, the war sequence will resume its functions. It will announce to everyone that my first decision is about religion."

"Three days later, I will announce the new development direction of the Empire."

The Emperor looked at the camera and said meaningfully.

"Everyone."

"May we live forever."

"Goodbye."

The light screen dimmed.

His speech ended.

In the outpost, the four of them did not speak.

"There are no more humans in other places?" Hua Qingkong was a little lost.

"There are no traces of humans within 1 Billion square kilometers. This means that we can't find other human gathering places." Xiao Mengluo said.

Libertas was puzzled. "The Sequence will announce the first decision of the emperor. It's about religion. Guess what it will be?"

The two women shook their heads.

Libertas looked at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping said, "Now that religions are flourishing everywhere, this is inseparable from the Emperor's support. I guess he will announce that everyone has the freedom to worship."

After saying that, he sneered and muttered, "The situation is going to be chaotic..."

Xiao Mengluo was confused. "Freedom of religion should be a good thing. After all, everyone is very depressed now because they can't find another human settlement. They need some comfort."

"Good news? No, freedom of belief only sounds good, but it's actually very scary."Liu Ping said.

"Why do you say that?" Hua Qingkong asked.

"We saw the believers of the Nine-Winged Fallen God on the train. They were ignorant, fanatical, and reckless. From them, we could feel the malice of the god behind them."

Liu Ping explained patiently, "If the god of this religion says, 'All heretics should be burned to death.'

"Then believers and non-believers will naturally be separated and become enemies. The god will effortlessly make the human race kill each other and lead to self-destruction."

"Now, do you still think freedom of belief is a good thing?"

The three of them were silent.

A few minutes later, a cold metal voice appeared in the void around them.

'[The Sequence is ready.]'

'[From now on, the Sequence will continue to provide services to every human.]'

'[Now, I will announce the latest decision of His Majesty:]'

'[Every human has the freedom of belief. They will not be restricted or influenced by any authority or individual.]'

Liu Ping stood up and said, "Libertas, come back to Cold Hammer Town with me. We'll go find out some information."

"What information are you going to find out?" Hua Qingkong asked.

"The army is a powerful force to maintain order. If you want the empire to fall into chaos, you must first make the army leaderless." Liu Ping said.

"You mean, when the commander-in-chief comes to Cold Hammer Town for an inspection, he will encounter danger?" Hua Qingkong asked.

"It's possible." Liu Ping answered.

"I'll go too!" Hua Qingkong declared.

"No, it'll be too conspicuous if there are too many people. You and Xiao Mengluo stay here. If the commander-in-chief sends someone to look for us and you leave, won't they find nothing?" Liu Ping said.

"Alright then." Hua Qingkong said.

...

Liu Ping and Libertas walked on the streets of Cold Hammer Town.

"Why do I feel that the atmosphere on the streets is a little strange today?"

Libertas asked.

"That's why we need you to spy for information. I heard that you assassins have intelligence centers everywhere." Liu Ping said.

"There are ... but I don't go there often ... wait for me." Libertas said.

He took a few steps back, reached out his hand, and gently pulled something from the void.

A suggestion card appeared in his hand.

There was a thick thigh drawn on the card, and a little person with the name "Libertas" was hugging the thigh tightly.

Libertas looked at the card and laughed in his heart. "I, Libertas, have to hug his thigh?"

Liu Ping still did not know what had happened. He only asked, "I heard that you need to spend money to get information."

"Yes, the more precious the information, the higher the price." Libertas said unhappily.

Liu Ping glanced at him and thought to himself that he was just a poor student. Of course, it would be very difficult for him to go to such a place to get information.

He should have thought more for him.

"Spend money? I almost forgot about that. This is for you. You don't have to save money. Just use it. "

Liu Ping said and handed over a card.

Libertas lowered his head to take a look, and his eyes immediately widened.

"Where did you get so many?"

"Shh, I'll leave it to you to get information. I'll walk around and see if I can meet a few believers." Liu Ping said.

"Your level is too lo....! F*ck! How did you reach level 7! "Libertas exclaimed.

"Don't make a fuss. In three hours, we'll meet at the bar." Liu Ping patted him on the shoulder.

With that, he walked across the road.

That was the entrance to the market.

Libertas stood there in a daze, looking at his back view.

After a while.

He carefully kept the Card of Wealth and muttered, "Forget it. I'll go to the bar to drink the most expensive wine and get information that costs the most money.

"After we meet later, I have to think of a way to get him to buy me a set of high-quality leather armor."

"And a dagger. I need a sharper dagger. Even if it's just a few words of flattery, I have to get him to buy it for me.

"And my boots. My boots make creaking sounds when I walk. How am I supposed to be an assassin? I can't assassinate anyone. I have to explain this situation to him. He's usually quite reasonable, so he'll definitely understand my difficulties. He'll pay to solve this problem."

"Even if i have to hug his legs, I have to get a good pair of boots! And a mount! What else? I have to think ... It's not easy to find someone that I can hug. I can't miss it ... "

On the other side.

In the market.

Liu Ping walked around casually for about half an hour and bought some snacks from a few shops. Then, he found a small restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and started eating slowly.

He sat by the window and looked outside as he ate.

In the market.

People came and went. It was very lively.

When he left Cold Hammer Town, Zhao Chanyi had already killed all the believers. Hence, most of the people in the market were ordinary people.

It was not until Liu Ping finished his meal and slowly drank the hot tea that the shop owner served that a muscular man caught Liu Ping's attention.

A line of small words floated above the man's head.

[Level 10 Strongman, believer of the Nine-winged Fallen God]

Liu Ping put down his cutlery and walked out of the restaurant. He walked in the opposite direction of the man.

After a while.

He slowly walked step by step until he was not far away from the man.

The man seemed to have noticed something and his expression became a little anxious.

"How much are the fruits?"

Liu Ping turned around and asked a stall owner.

A knife suddenly appeared in his hand that was hanging under the fruit stall.

The knife appeared for such a short time. In less than a second, it disappeared from his hand.

Secret Blade, Spring Breeze Slash!

A warm breeze came from the ground and brushed past the man's body.

Before the man could react, his body was torn apart by the wind from the blade. In the blink of an eye, he recovered.

Bam!

The man fell to the ground and fainted. This caused the people around him to exclaim.

Fortunately, he was only unconscious and had no injuries on his body. It did not cause too much of an impact.

"Thank you for 20 copper coins."

"Alright, please wrap the fruits for me."

"Of course."

Liu Ping paid, took the bags of snacks and fruits, and walked to the other side of the market.

A voice came from the crowd that had gathered there.

"He's fine. There are no injuries on his body. Maybe he's too tired and needs to rest."

The crowd heard and slowly calmed down.

Everything was lively as usual.

Liu Ping smiled and glanced at the void of space.

A line of small burning words appeared in the void of space.

[Your Secret Blade, Spring Wind Slash has hit the enemy. While killing the enemy, you also performed 'Life-Saving Art']

[Soul Points spent to perform Secret Blade: 2.]

[Soul Points gained through Life-Saving Art: 9.]

[The enemy has fainted (dying).]

Liu Ping stopped smiling and continued to stroll around the market.

From level 7 to level 8, I need 50 Soul Points. Currently, I only have 16 Soul Points.

The three girls have woken up.

Then for me, leveling up is actually the most important thing right now.

First of all.

Kill all the believers in Cold Hammer town.

Liu Ping picked up a fruit and ate it with relish.
