Purgatory Artist-Chapter 207: Departure
Chapter 207 - Departure
The metallic sound continued:
'[Inspector, please stay where you are.]'
A stern metal voice sounded:
'[This sequence is waiting for the Purgatory's response, as well as the subsequent treatment of you.]'
The entire blank world quietly disappeared.
An endless number of metal pipes entered Liu Ping's sight.
The dense pipes revolved around Liu Ping like a gust of wind, trapping him in the middle.
The black leaf in Liu Ping's hand emitted light.
A line of small words appeared on the leaf:
"[The situation you have created has exceeded the scope of this leaf's abilities.]"
"[This leaf can only help you escape this place.]"
"[You will appear in the Imperial City.]"
"[Please choose the place you want to stay immediately.]"
Liu Ping hesitated for a moment and immediately said, "Headquarters."
The next moment.
The leaf suddenly widened and draped over Liu Ping like a piece of clothing, taking him away from the spot.
The world spun.
Liu Ping staggered and fell to the ground.
Directly opposite him was the entrance of the Imperial Headquarters.
The black leaf floated in front of him and displayed the last line of words:
"[The Fool 3-6912 sequence is about to begin the pursuit of you.]"
"[You must escape from the current human Empire within an hour. Otherwise, you will fall into a state of stagnation with the entire kingdom.]"
"[Prove your worth.]"
"[Don't let the power of this leaf go to waste. Otherwise, the Tree Elf who gave you the leaf will also fall into eternal destruction.]"
All the words were displayed.
This leaf gradually turned into powdery light spots, disappeared into the void, and disappeared.
The next moment.
Metal pipes appeared out of thin air and swarmed toward Liu Ping.
But at the same time, lines of small burning words crazily refreshed:
[Through the core deck you have collected, this operation interface has fully analyzed The Fool's deck]
[Linked to the current Fool sequence]
[The pursuit order has been eliminated]
[All transportation has been ordered to operate normally]
[Character: Liu Ping has been disconnected from The Fool 3-6912 sequence and is no longer under its command.]
[Attention!]
[Next, this operation interface will enter an upgrade state and cannot respond to all your orders.]
[The stagnation of spacetime will be activated in 59 minutes.]
[You must escape the current kingdom as soon as possible!]
All the small words flashed and disappeared.
The entire interface disappeared.
Only a series of "kacha kacha kacha" sounds could be heard.
The metal pipes left Liu Ping's body and disappeared into the void.
Liu Ping landed on the ground again.
He ignored the strange stares from the guards at the door, turned around, and walked across the street to his previous position.
Libertas was still waiting there.
"What happened just now? What happened? "he asked with a grave expression.
"The entire empire will come to a standstill in an hour." Liu Ping said.
"WHAT?!" Libertas was shocked.
Liu Ping closed his eyes and opened them again. He said, "From the map, the only way to cross the border and leave the Empire is to head in the direction of Santov City."
Libertas hesitated. "Frostwind City."
"After Frostwind City was massacred by the devils, Santov City became the border."
As Liu Ping recalled, he continued, "On the other side of the border, the entire Devil's Kingdom has fled. So, once we cross Santov City, we will arrive at the empty Devil's Kingdom. It should be safe for a short period of time!"

"I can't believe it ..."
As Libertas spoke, he reached out to draw a card from the void, but he suddenly stopped.
"It's not time yet. I can't draw a card."
He said dejectedly.
"It's okay. We need an airship to fly to Santov City immediately!" Liu Ping said.
The two of them quickly crossed the street and rushed towards the airship passenger center.
In the sky, an angry roar suddenly sounded.
"The despicable Supervisory Council, I will kill all of you sooner or later!"
This was the Emperor's voice!
Immediately after, another old voice sounded. "Aha, we don't expect to defeat you. After all, this place seems to be sealed, isn't it?"
Another female voice said with a hint of joy: "We will make sure that you are sealed here."
"Don't even think about it!"
BOOM!!!
The sounds of fighting in the sky became more intense and quickly faded away.
It seemed that the Emperor had escaped in one direction.
The sky above the imperial city gradually regained its peace.
On the ground.
The two youths were running at top speed.
"Liu Ping." Libertas' expression became serious and he quickly asked, "What's going on? Why do I feel like the whole world is in chaos?"
Liu Ping said as he ran, "The Sequences are actually the accomplices of the various races in Purgatory to harvest humans. For example, as an Assassin, you can only obtain one skill at level 10. When humans and devils fight, the devils always win. Professionists above level 50 will always die reasonably. These restrictions on humans have always existed."
"Damn it, really damn it! If I knew this would happen, I would rather live on. Why did I have to fight with others and end up in this godforsaken place? "Libertas cursed.
However, Liu Ping was secretly pondering.
As expected, the prisoner would definitely escape.
He did not want to be sealed in the stagnant space-time again.
From now on.
The sky was no longer a forbidden zone.
The Hero Spirit Sequence ordered all transportation to operate as usual, which perfectly cooperated with his actions.
Hopefully, he could make it in time!
...
Seven minutes later.
The two of them arrived at the airship passenger center.
"When does the airship to Santov City take off?" Liu Ping stood in front of the window and asked.
"It takes off in seven minutes. Airship No. 8." the ticket seller said as he looked at the screen.
Liu Ping and Libertas looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
"Please give it to me."
"Sorry, I just received news that all the seats are full."
"What! Who booked the seats? "
"It's the Church."
The ticket seller looked at the two teenagers and comforted them. "You can wait for the next flight. In two hours, there will be another airship flying to Santov City."
Liu Ping said, "Where is the airship flying to with the closest departure time?"
The ticket seller said, "It's flying to Port Said in five minutes."
"Please give me two tickets."
"Okay, go through the passage behind me. It's parking lot No. 7. I'll inform them to wait for you. You have to board quickly."
"Thank you."
Liu Ping and Libertas paid and quickly walked through the passage and entered the airship port behind.
Five minutes later.
An airship slowly rose into the air and flew towards Port Said.
Liu Ping looked around the airship.
Lines of small words appeared above everyone's heads.
This was the mystical ability "Knowledge is as Good as Your Name". (TN: Legendary observer) Although the Heroic Spirit UI was silent, this ability belonged to Liu Ping.
Liu Ping looked around the cabin and whispered, "There's no threat."
"I'll rob the ship." Libertas said.
"I'll contact Hua Qingkong." Liu Ping said.
"Should we inform more people?"
"No, they won't believe it. Even if they do, it's too late."
"Just let them fall into a stagnant space-time?"
"This is actually a form of protection. After all, if such weak human professionists are placed in the Eternal Night, they won't be able to survive."
Libertas was convinced. He got up and walked towards the cockpit.
Liu Ping took out a contact card and said softly, "Hua Qingkong."
There was a moment of silence.
Hua Qingkong's voice suddenly sounded from the card. "Liu Ping, I have bad news to tell you. Xiao Mengluo is missing. I can't find her."
"No need to look for her. She's already left." Liu Ping said.
"What!" Hua Qingkong exclaimed.
"I'll explain to you later. Now you have to do something. Cross the border of the Empire and go to the other side of the snow mountain." Liu Ping said.
"Why?" Hua Qingkong asked.
"Libertas and I will leave the Empire from Santov City, then follow the border to meet you near the snow mountain. Trust me, Hua Qingkong!" Liu Ping said.
"... Okay" Hua Qingkong said.
Liu Ping could feel her rapid breathing.
"Was Xiao Mengluo kidnapped?" She asked.
"No, but you've been targeted by the devils. You can't stay in the Empire anymore." Liu Ping said.
"Me?" Hua Qingkong said.
"You have the talent to summon spirits. This is a rare ability in the Purgatory. The Sequence is auctioning you. You have to leave their sight immediately."
Liu Ping thought for a moment and added, "Bring more supplies to ensure your safety."
There was no sound from the other side.
After a while, she seemed to have controlled her emotions and said with a choked voice, "Got it. You must come to me alive."
Liu Ping was silent for a moment and said, "If we're alive, we'll definitely come to you."
After that, he slowly put down the card.
At this time, the airship made a beautiful arc in the air, changed direction, and flew towards Santov City.
Libertas poked his head out from the cockpit and gave Liu Ping a thumbs up.
Liu Ping nodded.
Suddenly, someone in the cabin shouted, "What's going on? We should be flying towards Port Said. Why did we change direction? "
Libertas also said loudly, "Please keep quiet. This is a new route. It can save us 15 minutes."
He glared at the person.
The person immediately quieted down and sat in his seat without saying a word.
Suddenly, another voice sounded.
"Look, that's Airship No. 8. It's flying towards Santov City. Why are we with it?"
Everyone looked out the window.
Sure enough, not far ahead, an airship was gradually accelerating.
Airship No. 8.
Flying towards Santov City.
It was filled with people from the Church!
Liu Ping's expression turned serious. He stood up and said, "Everyone, I'm a professionist. I'm responsible for the security of this flight. Please understand one thing:
"Airship No. 8 is flying towards Port Said today.
"Every passenger, please start to rest. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll record their card number and report them to the Sequence for disrupting traffic."
Everyone had no choice but to quiet down.
Liu Ping walked to the cockpit and whispered, "When you reach Santov City, immediately leave the city, cross the border, and wait for me outside the border."
"You're not coming with me?" Libertas was shocked.
"I ... have some revenge to take."
Liu Ping looked at the airship outside the window and said quietly.
