Chapter 545: A Place of Burial

The camp.

Aland sat on the other side of the campfire, silently staring at Liu Ping.

The rabbit was playing cards with Lilith on Liu Ping’s shoulder, turned around to look at him and said:

"Brat, are you crazy? Why do you keep staring at our Liu Ping?"

"That’s not it" Aland appeared to be in deep thought, "I keep feeling that if he’s asleep, this place isn’t safe"

"Of course it’s not safe, this is the deepest part of the Eternal Night, anything can fly here from the void" the rabbit said.

"He asked me before if I was in urgent need of treasures to exchange for Merit, I said ..."

Aland slowly spoke, his gaze focused on the expeditionary army’s UI for a while, then suddenly pulled — — -

A white humanoid robot appeared in front of him.

"What is this?" Lilith curiously asked.

"Self-propelled combat destroyer, a powerful technological weapon, exchanging for it requires 1500 Merit"

Saying so, Aland spoke to the humanoid robot: "Only command: Protect the sleeping man in front of me"

The white robot slowly turned around, glanced at Liu Ping and said: "Brainwave signature recorded, begin patrol"

Its head suddenly opened, shooting out a few rays of light at a few inconspicuous places in the camp.

A series of popping sounds came.

"Hidden dangers and spying devices have been removed"

The robot spoke with a cold and murderous voice.

"Strange, its attitude seems to have changed" the rabbit cautiously observed the robot and said.

"It’s directly connected to the expeditionary army’s UI, it has a high degree of autonomy" Aland said.

The robot spoke: "In the current advance party, one of them has set up an invisible time bomb in the camp, his name is Zhang Changjiu, a Conjurer"

"This has violated the expeditionary army’s discipline, he should enter the conversion pool"

"Arrest operation plan has been generated"

"Execute!"

Boom — —

The robot turned into a streak of light and rushed out of the camp, heading towards the East.

In the camp.

"How strong is this robot?"

"If it uses cold weapons, it can fight me to a standstill, but if it’s fully armed, I can’t beat it" Aland replied.

The rabbit muttered: "Sure enough, it’s useful"

"These robots are so fun. Release a few more," Lilith said cheerfully.

"I’ve already spent all my merit points and can’t exchange any more unless Liu Ping takes out some rare treasures for me to exchange for merit points," Aland said.

"Forget it. Actually, it’s enough. Let’s wait. He shouldn’t be sleeping for too long." Rabbit said.

"I think so too," Aland said.

Silence returned to the campsite.

...

The hall was filled with melodious music.

On the main seat of the banquet table sat a human-shaped shadow.

There were already seven or eight guests on both sides. They were all dressed in splendid attire and wore all kinds of masks. They were talking in low voices amidst the melodious music.

When Liu Ping walked into the hall, everyone looked at him.

The humanoid shadow said, "Welcome, Dragon King. What good news have you brought me?"

Liu Ping said, "I will bring whatever you need, Your Excellency."

He looked at the other party.

The next moment.

A line of words immediately appeared above the other party’s head.

[Master of the Nightmare Manor.]

[Note: Harvest everything of value in the infinite worlds]

The humanoid shadow was the Manor’s Master.

He smiled and said: "That’s what all businessmen say. However, I do have something that I need you for, please take a seat."

Liu Ping nodded and sat down in front of the table.

"Continue the topic from before." the Manor’s Master spoke to another masked woman.

"Your Excellency, our master wants 30 souls that can contain the power of Occultism. As long as you’re willing to let go, our master will pay you handsomely." the woman spoke in a low voice.

"30? That’s too much, he can’t eat that much. Furthermore, I’m giving him 30 at once, the other entities will have a problem with that."the Manor’s Master replied.

The woman put a black bag on the table and pushed it in front of the Manor’s Master.

The Manor’s Master glanced at the bag and said: "Men, take her to choose the souls."

"Thank you for your generosity."

The woman bowed to the Manor’s Master and left with the servant.

The Manor’s Master gestured for another person to speak.

That person spoke: "The Tide of Nightmares hasn’t arrived yet, but our master has already obtained the support of a few evil creatures — — - you’re in charge of the Space-Time Passage, do you think it would be convenient for our people to go through this passage and contact those evil creatures in Purgatory?"

"That’s against the rules. If you manage to take over several layers of Purgatory first, your master’s harvest would be much greater than any other entity." the Manor’s Master replied.

"Your Excellency, please take a look" the person took out a secret letter and lightly placed it in front of the Manor’s Master.

The Manor’s Master opened the letter and glanced through it, then mused: "Is that so ... then I’ll say this first, if there’s a problem, your people will have to deal with it on their own."

"Of course, we can deal with it ourselves." the person replied.

The Manor’s Master took out a small pendant and gave it to the person: "This is the token of the passage. Men, take him to the passage and inform the guards."

"Thank you, Your Excellency." The person carefully received the pendant, put it into a box, and put it away.

He bowed again and left the hall, following the servant’s lead into the depths of the manor.

Liu Ping silently noted it down.

That’s right, the Manor’s Master is guarding the space-time, so even now I don’t dare to use the power of Warden Blade.

If I’m caught by it, I’ll be done for.

Only the dragon race knows what kind of method they used to allow me to see the entire situation.

At this point, the Manor’s Master looked at the third person.

"Master, this is the manor’s recent income, please take a look."

"Hm"

The Manor’s Master took a scroll of parchment and started reading.

At this point, there were only four masked people left at the table.

The Manor’s Master suddenly spoke: "Dragon King, you can tell me your news now."

"There’s a guy with a black umbrella, half of his body is buried here." Liu Ping replied.

"Oh? You know about this? "the Manor’s Master asked with interest.

"Yes, someone wants that half of the body, as long as you name a price, money isn’t an issue." Liu Ping replied.

That was the body of the obituary.

At the time, Liu Ping was transported here as the ’obituary’, because he did a good job, the Manor’s Master even gave him a hand — —

Half of the obituary’s body was still buried here.

"You’re talking about the obituary, he’s a disobedient guy, someone actually wants his body?" the Manor’s Master asked with waning interest.

"That’s right, I also thought it was strange, but the other party offered a good price, so I had no choice but to reluctantly make this trip." Liu Ping replied.

He looked outside the window.

On the lawn outside, tombstones were erected one after another.

Although the tombstones were empty, Liu Ping’s [Divine Sensorium!] had already been activated, so he could naturally see the lines of text floating on the tombstones.

The Occultists who were killed were all buried here.

— — The obituary and Delia’s body should both be here.

"Such a small business ... tell me, how much money is it to be able to hire you as a lobbyist?" the Manor’s Master asked.

"There’s a bank on top of the Purgatory Divine Pillar, called the Hellflame bank. That entity said that as long as you’re willing to give the obituary informant’s body to him, he’ll give you 30% of the bank’s wealth." Liu Ping replied.

The Manor’s Master finally showed a bit of interest and smiled: "That’s good news, I know that bank, 30% isn’t enough, give me 50%"

"With my authority, I can only give you 45% at most, if you insist on 50%, I’ll have to go back and ask." Liu Ping replied.

"The obituary’s Occultism power is very strong, sometimes I’ll even ask him to do things for me. Even if he’s eaten as a fruit, there’s still a chance for him to advance once, so at least 50%, not a single cent less." the Manor’s Master replied.

"Can I take a look at the goods?" Liu Ping asked.

"You can, men, bring him to the lawn and dig up grave # 7." the Manor’s Master ordered.

A waiter walked over.

"Thank you, sir." Liu Ping stood up and followed the servant outside.

Behind him, the Manor’s Master turned to the next masked man and asked: "Alright, let’s talk about our business."

"Yes sir, the situation is like this ..." the man began to speak.

Liu Ping stopped listening and followed the servant out of the hall, heading straight to the lawn.

"Please wait a moment, we’ll open the coffin right away." the servant politely said.

"Very well."

Liu Ping stood on one side, watching the servant dig with a wooden shovel.

"Why don’t you just open it up?" he couldn’t help but ask.

"Other than the master, we all have to work like normal people in the manor." the servant answered.

Liu Ping squinted his eyes.

Lines of burning text appeared in the void of space:

[The other party is currently doing normal work]

[Over a hundred Occultism powers enveloping the grave are currently in a dormant state, unable to be triggered]

So that’s why.

Only by using the methods of a normal person would one be able to avoid all warning powers.

Then — — -

Where’s Delia’s body?

Liu Ping casually glanced at all the tombstones.

Small words appeared on each of the tombstones, indicating the buried body.

But Delia wasn’t there.

... That’s right, her body was imbued with the Sacred Spirit technique: [Body of Nothingness].

Most likely, no one would remember that she was buried here at this point in time.

Even the Manor’s Master wouldn’t remember!

While Liu Ping was silently thinking, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears:

"Liu Ping, I’m 20 meters to your left, next to Delia’s body."

— — -Andrea!

That’s her voice!
