Chapter 580: Nightfall!

Chapter 580: Nightfall!

Snowflakes fell densely.

Crackling sounds came from the fireplace, revealing a rare sense of warmth.

Liu Ping sat cross-legged on a chair not far from the fireplace and looked at the brand new interface that appeared before him.

"[Number: 05.]"

"[From the Black Devil World.]"

"[Mission Brief Description: The resting time will last until 7 PM. Starting from 7 PM, please try your best to survive until dawn tomorrow.]"

There were only three lines of silver words.

There was no more information.

Liu Ping looked at the long-haired man and asked, "What dangers will there be at night?"

The long-haired man shook his head and said, "I came here during the day, so I don’t know what’s going on at night."

"I just need to survive five nights, right?" Liu Ping said.

"You think it’s easy? There were about thirty people who came with me, and I’m the only one who’s still alive ... "The long-haired man said coldly.

Liu Ping looked at the two drunkards not far away.

They were still lying on the table, snoring loudly.

The long-haired man followed his gaze and said, "Those two are veterans. The guy with the big beard has lived for six days, but he is not satisfied with the position he got, so he continues to stay here. He wants to give it a try and see if he can get a higher evaluation."

"His code name."

"He’s 01, the guy drinking with him is 03, I’m 04, and you’re 05."

Suddenly.

A line of silver text appeared on the interface:

"[There are three minutes left until seven o’clock sharp. Please get ready.]"

The long-haired man obviously saw this notification as well. He suddenly pulled out a black staff and shouted, "It’s about to start. Speaking of which, what’s your class? Can you cooperate with me? "

Liu Ping looked towards the other side of the room and saw that the two drunkards had already woken up. They looked listless and kept yawning as they placed the short weapons on the table for a final check.

Liu Ping finally understood what was going on.

This Sorcerer with the code name 04 had barely managed to survive the entire day. He had no idea what was going to happen at night, so he was eager to find a partner to fight with.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said so much to him.

Just like those two drunk guys, they couldn’t be bothered with him at all.

"I’m a Close Combat class."

Liu Ping said with a smile as he placed the two sabers on the table in front of him.

The long-haired man’s eyes lit up, and he said cheerfully, "Very good, if we work together, we can deal with all kinds of situations."

"I think so too," Liu Ping said.

The two of them waited quietly for a few breaths.

Dang Dang

The clock on the wall suddenly chimed.

The small wooden door on the clock opened to both sides, and a mechanical bird popped out, letting out an ear-piercing screech.

"Seven o’clock! It’s seven! "

"From now on, you can’t leave this house. Otherwise, it’s hard to say what will happen."

The mechanical bird shrank back.

The small wooden door on the clock closed with a bang.

At about the same time

All the lights went out.

A large hole appeared in the ceiling, and a hanged body fell from the ceiling, hanging in front of them.

It was a woman covered in blood.

She seemed to have died not long ago. Her neck was strangled by a thick black rope. She was suspended in the air and slowly turned.

The remaining firelight in the fireplace shone on her face.

Her face was full of fear and despair, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying.

Dead silence.

Blood flowed down her clothes and fell to the ground, making a dripping sound.

"Number 02! How did she die just like that! " The long-haired man exclaimed.

"She’s 02?" Liu Ping asked.

The long-haired man said, "Yes, she was resting in the attic. Wait, before you came, I seemed to have heard the sound of the window opening in the attic."

The few of them looked at each other.

The bearded man with the code name 01 spoke: "It’s best if we go to the attic to see the situation. Let’s all go together."

He was the most experienced person here.

The others nodded, Liu Ping also felt that they should find out how 02 died.

The few of them came to the long staircase.

"05, you’re a melee class?" 01 asked.

"Ah, yes." Liu Ping said.

"You’re at the front." 03 said with an unquestionable tone.

01 nodded.

Liu Ping looked at the two of them and saw 01 wearing a light gray leather armor. He seemed to be a class that leaned towards concealment.

03 had a row of grenades on his waist and a few tactical belts on his body. There were clips on them and he held a shotgun in his hand.

They were Mage, Assassin, and Gunner. As expected, none of them were suitable to be at the front.

It was really suitable for him to be at the front with a sword.

"Okay, follow me."

As Liu Ping walked up to the attic, he observed his surroundings.

There were no surprises or dangers along the way.

He pushed open the door of the attic and saw that there was a big hole in the floor inside.

A long rope soaked in blood was tied to the foot of the bed, extending down the hole.

The female corpse was suspended in mid-air just like that.

The window of the room was open and they could see that it was already dark outside. Only the dense snowflakes were flying, accompanied by the shrill howling of the wind.

"This idiot must have opened the window. That’s why she was killed by something outside. Damn it!" 03 cursed.

The others did not speak.

Previously, the mechanical bird had warned them that they could not leave this house. Otherwise, it would be hard to say what would happen to them. This proved that the house should be safe.

Who knew that 02 would open the window.

This was tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house.

They did not know what had entered the house.

Liu Ping thought for a moment and swung his sword to dismantle the wooden bed.

"What are you doing?" 03 asked warily.

"We can’t keep the window open. Who knows what else is outside. I’ll seal it," Liu Ping said.

Their gazes fell on the broken window again.

The long-haired man suddenly waved his staff and said in a low voice, "Go and see the situation outside."

A pile of colorful bubbles appeared at the top of the staff and quickly passed through the window. They scattered in the wind and went away with the snow.

The long-haired man murmured, "Show."

Dozens of illusory light screens flashed in front of him, showing the scene outside.

Those bubbles were like eyes, helping him to check the situation outside the village.

Number 01 glanced at it and immediately said, "05, hurry up."

Liu Ping also took a look and immediately sped up. Almost in a breath’s time, seven or eight wooden planks were chopped out.

He waved his hand and the wooden planks flew over and sealed the window tightly.

01 took out a few nails. He flicked the nails out one by one and nailed the wooden planks to the window and said, "These are holy nails that contain the power of exorcism. It is said that they have once killed the most evil existence."

The sound of the wind and snow could no longer be heard.

The house returned to silence.

The four of them heaved a sigh of relief. Their gazes were still fixed on the illusory light screens.

In the light screens.

There was no village left.

The entire world had turned into an endless void. Only this house floated in the darkness, like a building block that could break at any time.

In the depths of the dark void, some gigantic figures were silently moving.

There were also countless shrill screams coming from the void even further away.

The entire house was in some kind of alternate space. They could encounter danger at any time!

"Wizard, stop your observation technique. This is not a high-level technique. It is very likely that some existence will follow it and find us."

01 said in a low voice.

"Ah, okay." The long-haired man hurriedly waved his staff.

All the illusory images instantly dissipated.

"Although there is a power outage, the fire in the fireplace has to be extinguished. Otherwise, it is very likely that some existence will sense the existence of the fire element." 01 continued.

"Damn it! She ascended too, but she didn’t even have this common sense. She died a quick death. Even before she died, she still caused trouble for us. "03 cursed.

He took out a whip and turned to walk down the attic.

"What are you going to do?" 01 asked.

"Extinguish the fire in the fireplace and whip that fellow twice to vent my anger."

03 went downstairs.

01 sighed and said, "You all know how to conceal your aura, right? I suggest that you all use it."

Liu Ping nodded.

What the other party said was very reasonable. They should indeed conceal their aura and not attract the attention of any unknown existence.

After tonight, the house would definitely return to the village. By then, they would be safe.

He casually conjured an aura concealment technique.

"Come, let’s go downstairs and take care of each other tonight." 01 said.

"Okay." The long-haired man said happily.

Liu Ping glanced at 01.

At first, this guy was as cold as a block of ice.

After seeing the situation outside the house, he suddenly became enthusiastic.

For some reason, Liu Ping felt that he was a little afraid.

He was clearly a person who had experienced six nights. At first, he was still calm and dozing off. Now, there was such a change.

Could it be that tonight’s situation was different from usual?

The three of them turned around and walked down from the attic.

"Be careful!"

01 suddenly shouted.

The long-haired man raised his staff nervously.

Liu Ping had already drawn his blade and flew out, standing in the middle of the house.

They looked back and forth.

They found nothing.

The hanged female corpse and 03 disappeared together.

"How is it possible? 03 just came down. Why did he disappear?"

The long-haired man couldn’t care less about wiping the cold sweat on his forehead and muttered softly.

01 closed his eyes and suddenly said, "It’s the Void Concealment Technique! There’s something in the void. We need to find it! "

"Can it be hit?" Liu Ping asked quickly.

"Yes!" 01 said.

Liu Ping’s mind flashed.

He scanned the entire room with his Divine Sense and found nothing.

At this time, it was not suitable to use powerful and strange saber techniques such as "Tremor Slash" and "If there’s a sound, all souls will be cut off here".

Otherwise, the moment the saber was drawn, the house might be shattered.

Then ...

Liu Ping placed the saber in front of him and whispered, "Slash."

The long saber buzzed.

An invisible saber light burst out from the blade and slashed toward all corners of the room.

Suddenly, a soft roar sounded.

Found it!

The three of them quickly gathered together and looked in the direction of the sound.

They saw the female corpse covered in blood squatting on the wall at the other end of the room, staring at Liu Ping with hatred.

She opened her mouth and bit the neck of another corpse. Even if Liu Ping’s saber technique cut it out, she did not let go.

03!

That was 03’s corpse!
