City center.
The terrifying black monster has been wiped out.
Gu Qingshan stood by the huge pit and tried to use his spiritual thoughts to reach down.
——The spiritual mind cannot get to the bottom.
"So deep?" Gu Qingshan was a little surprised.
But he saw reddish-brown flames emerging from the ground and filling the entire pit.
Earth Sword said: "This is the fire of purgatory."
"Purgatory? Is it a normal world?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"What do you mean by normal?"
"Not enveloped by the Demon King's order."
"It used to be normal, but now I don't know." Di Jian said.
"Where are these fires?"
"The fires of Purgatory have always been like this, sir," another voice answered.
Gu Qingshan looked over.
At some point, a person appeared in the middle of the huge pothole.
This man was wearing a black dress and looked very tall and elegant.
He stood in the fire of Purgatory and saluted: "Hello, Mr. Gu Qingshan, I am the representative from Purgatory. My master said that when you defeat that monster, you will be qualified to accept our mediation negotiations."
"Mediation?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Yes, my master wants to mediate between you and the Demon King's order."
"In what capacity do you come to mediate?"
"Mr. Gu Qingshan, actually we shouldn't show up, neither you nor me."
"In other words, you don't have any public identity?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The man's expression moved slightly, he smiled, and continued: "The Doomsday Online of the Realms is the order of the Demon King, and you do not represent any order, so we hope you can stand by and watch. In this way, you can gain the friendship of Purgatory."
"Friendship... do you belong to Doomsday Online?"
"No, we mediate."
The man in black dress continued: "If you agree to stop and are willing to leave immediately, we in Purgatory will help you stay away from the battlefield and ensure that the Demon King's order will never affect you."
"Why mediate?" Gu Qingshan asked.
The other party smiled apologetically: "If I answer your question, our secret will be completely exposed. I'm sorry."
"Mr. Gu Qingshan, please accept the mediation. In this way, the Demon King's order will stay away from you, and we in Purgatory will accept you as a guest."
Gu Qingshan was silent.
In the past, I would have never talked nonsense with this guy. I would weigh him first and then talk.
But now, ever since that bug appeared, the shadow of death has been lingering.
Some things still need to be thoroughly clarified before we talk about them.
——Especially when I have Laura with me.
"You probably lean towards the Demon King's order, so you think I'm hindering you, is that right?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"No, I didn't expect you to have such a problem, but I can guarantee that we are indeed neutral." The man in black dress said.
"Can I see your sincerity?" Gu Qingshan asked tentatively.
The other party's eyes lit up and he said repeatedly: "Of course."
He pulled out a set of cards from his pocket, shuffled them several times, and randomly pulled out three cards.
"Your Excellency Gu Qingshan, I can make the decision to give you three cards."
"——They are the pass cards to many purgatory worlds."
The man gave up his hand.
Three cards fell in front of Gu Qingshan and were caught by him.
"These three cards represent three different worlds of purgatory and are now given to you."
"With your cards, you can travel to these three worlds at any time."
The man continued.
Gu Qingshan lowered his head and looked at the card.
I saw a world with different scenery painted on the card:
A world full of dry and cracked land, with towering volcanoes in the distance;
A world is a dilapidated city like ruins,
The last world is a dark underground town, with "Boundary Town" written in devilish language.
"How many purgatory worlds are there in total?" Gu Qingshan asked with interest.
"No one knows how grand Purgatory is, and those of us who are in it will always only know how big a corner of Purgatory is." The man in a black dress said.
"So, how big is a corner of Purgatory?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"I will spend my whole life without reaching the end." The other party said.
Gu Qingshan fell into deep thought.
Purgatory——
What kind of place is it?
Suddenly, a line of small characters appeared in front of his eyes:
"You got three Purgatory Teleport cards."
"All three cards are: directional teleportation cards."
"Directed Teleportation World: Demon Flame Purgatory."
"Note that this teleportation card will not have any impact on the current world. You can leave directly without disturbing anyone."
Gu Qingshan looked calm and asked: "So, as you just said, these three cards of yours will be able to travel to three different purgatory worlds?"
"Yes, just like the world shown on them." The man in black dress said.
Gu Qingshan nodded silently.
The three cards clearly pointed to the same world, but this person said they pointed to three different worlds.
Is this bullying a swordsman who doesn’t understand cards?
...There may be some other plot, and once he is teleported, what methods are waiting for him.
But one thing is most important.
——If they are not people of the Demon King’s order, then what is their purpose?
"I need some time to think about it." Gu Qingshan said.
"Looking forward to your good news - when you look for me, touch the three cards against each other and I will come." The man bowed and disappeared from Gu Qingshan.
The purgatory fire in the pit dissipated.
All ghosts, corpses, and the shadows of monsters in purgatory also disappeared.
The whole city turned into a dead city.
Gu Qingshan stood there and thought for a while, then suddenly said:
"The God of War system...you said before that my main task is to save my life?"
"Don't ask too many questions, you just need to know that if you can live long enough, you will win." The God of War interface said.
Gu Qingshan said: "Are you sure?"
"Very sure." The God of War interface said.
Gu Qingshan smiled incomprehensibly and said: "...Actually, compared to fighting, what I am really better at is survival."
"Then find a way to survive. This matter is of great importance." The God of War interface said.
Gu Qingshan sighed.
The God of War system said it was of great importance.
Survival is of course a matter of great importance, but it is obvious that the other party's words seem to involve something else.
Plus, it said it communicated with the future before.
Maybe there is a problem in the future?
in other words.
Is this bug from the future?
Gu Qingshan felt a chill in his heart and couldn't help but become cautious.
He lowered his head and looked at the three cards in his hand quietly.
I wanted to kill the origin directly...
But now the situation seems to have become more bizarre, and the degree of danger has skyrocketed.
We must ensure Laura’s safety first!
Also, Ms. Tesis said that Su Xueer had been picked up by her master.
So if we change our strategy now...
Gu Qingshan thought about it over and over again and finally made a decision.
No matter what happens, Laura must first reach a safe place.
Gu Qingshan changed his mind.
As for the place Laura goes to, it must be absolutely safe, and the people there should also be trustworthy.
In this matter, instead of believing in the devil in purgatory, it is better to——
Suddenly, a complaining voice came from afar:
“I have injuries on my legs, and it’s really uncomfortable to squat for so long!”
Gu Qingshan turned around.
Not far behind him, the ancient man walked out of the coral building.
It seemed that his legs were a little numb and he was staggering when he walked.
Gu Qingshan said: "Your injury has healed a lot, but you still need to continue taking some pills to fully recover."
He reached out and took out a few pills from the storage bag.
"But this method of treatment is too uncomfortable. If you still have similar pills in your hand," the old man gasped.
"You don't want to eat?" Gu Qingshan asked.
"Give me another one, please."
"Can you speak without breathing?"
"There is no other way. This is a critical moment of destruction. I have to recover quickly before I can go to the battlefield."
"Everyone is almost dead, but there is still a battlefield?"
"Of course, young man, we have to set off quickly." The old man said loudly.
"Where to go?"
"Go to Tide City. It's the only place where there are still living people, and it's the only place that can resist the invasion of these monsters!"
"Okay, please wait a moment, I have to call my friends first."
"Your friend? Wait, you still have people?"
"a friend."
The old man was a little disappointed, but then asked with interest: "Are they as strong as you?"
Gu Qingshan said: "In a sense, she has a way to make many people willingly do things for her."
"Really? Then our chances of winning will increase." The old man said excitedly.
"No, I have to put her in place first. I can't allow her to go to the battlefield now." Gu Qingshan said flatly.
"Why?" the old man asked.
"Protect minors." Gu Qingshan shrugged.
The old man said helplessly: "Then hurry up and I'll go search for survivors first."
"good."
…
Temporary camp.
"What's wrong, Gu Qingshan?" Laura sat up from the bed and asked nervously.
Gu Qingshan smiled and said in a calm tone: "It's okay, I just think the change in the situation is too unexpected, and my girlfriend is out of danger."
Laura looked at him.
He continued: "I swore that as long as you help me enter this world, I will definitely take you to escape from this place and find a chance to survive——"
"Have you found a way?" Laura asked.
"kindness."
He patted the storage bag and took out a strange badge.
This badge has a big tree printed on it, with hundreds of cards hanging on the branches, shining with colorful lights.
Lan Xiu's voice echoed in her ears:
"Take this, it contains the location of our world and the void passage. If one day you arrive in my empire, you can come to me directly with this badge."
Yes, this is the badge given to him by Lan Xiu and Qing Yin.
The Tianlan Empire is the world on the card side, and Lanxiu is the king of the empire. He is so powerful that he can even split his soul to go to Huangquan to save Qingyin.
Their world is so powerful that they could directly capture the gods in the first place.
More importantly, I am kind to them, and they have no interest in me and have no intention of harming me.
In this case, Laura is still safe in Tianlan Empire.
When Laura is safe, he will come back.
If you are alone, fight if you can, and run if you can't. You don't have to worry about anything anymore, you can just let go and have a good fight.
The two of them suddenly felt something and looked up at the sky together.
I saw endless golden light shining in the dark sky.
boom! ! !
The golden light skyrocketed, but suddenly dimmed and dissipated.
A monstrous momentum poured down from the sky, washing away everything like a tide.
The fierce sound of insects echoed throughout the world:
"Ghost King of Underworld, I'm here to kill you!"
Gu Qingshan's body was shaken.
Laura’s face had already turned pale.
Such momentum——
He was completely helpless, and he couldn't even think of a confrontation, because he knew that any resistance would be futile.
It was only a short time ago, but why did that insect become so powerful all of a sudden?
"Don't say anything, we're leaving right away." Gu Qingshan lowered his voice.
Laura nodded.
Gu Qingshan clenched the badge in his hand and activated it secretly.
