Chapter 568 - The confused Ling Ping’an
Chapter 568: The confused Ling Ping’an
Ling Ping’an gently reached out his hand and caught a whiff of the smell coming from the sea.
The sea breeze in this Nightmare World carried a strong smell of the sea.
It was extremely real.
It was as if it was the real world.
He turned his head to look at the somewhat familiar young man.
“Let’s go!” he said to the latter.
However, he ignored the others.
He grabbed two sampans on the deck and threw them into the sea.
Then, he carried his cat and jumped onto one of the sampans.
Then, he didn’t say anything else. He just stepped on the sampan and floated on the sea.
The young man only hesitated for a moment before he jumped down and landed on the sampan.
Ling Ping’an felt the scene and nodded to himself, “I guess I have some luck!”
If the other party didn’t even make such a decision…
Then it could only mean that he was a guy without luck.
Soon, the young man’s sampan caught up with Ling Ping’an’s.
“Mister…” he was a little surprised, but also a little scared. “Where are we going?”
“To where we should go!” Ling Ping’an smiled.
He came here with a purpose.
“Oh!” the young man nodded.
“What’s your name?” Ling Ping’an raised his eyes and looked at him.
A floating frame automatically popped up above his head with his nightmare code name: Jiangcheng Xiaohuang.
So it made sense that he looked familiar.
“My name Is Huang Qin!” the latter answered obediently.
“Huang Qin?” Ling Ping’an blinked his eyes as if he didn’t remember anything, so he asked, “Which school did you graduate from?”
“My high school was Jiangcheng No. 3 High School…” Huang Qin replied.
Ling Ping’an shook his head and asked again, “What about junior high school?”
“Construction Middle School!”
That’s right!
“Which class?” Ling Ping’an looked at him.
Huang Qin said, “Class 444!”
Ling Ping’an laughed. So he was a classmate! No wonder he looked familiar!
This was the first classmate he had met in so many years.
Therefore, he could be considered lucky!
To be able to meet a gentleman like him, this person was very lucky.
“Follow closely!” Ling Ping’an whispered, and the sampan under his feet suddenly accelerated.
Before Huang Qin could respond, he felt that the sampan under his feet seemed to have taken off!
…
Mermaid.
Everyone watched as the two shadows on the sampan, speeding through the waves and disappeared into the distance.
They gulped nervously.
The veterans were all terrified.
“We’ve offended Mr. X…”
“But what should we do?!”
He was an important figure.
Even the Blackguard and the royal family had to curry favor with him.
He was so powerful and extraordinary!
“Why would such an important figure come to such a low-level Nightmare World?” the leader lamented as if he had lost his parents.
They thought about what Mr. X had said earlier and felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
…
Han Li looked at the people who had appeared in front of her.
She said softly, “Welcome, everyone!”
To Earth, any possible assistance was extremely precious.
Moreover, she could smell a familiar scent from these people.
The scent of a supreme being in the fog was faintly discernible.
Ordinary people could not smell it, but she could.
Because she was not only a person who was favored by that supreme being.
She had even paid tribute to that supreme being.
Therefore, with her talent, she could tell that these people came from a world that was protected by that supreme being.
“Protect!” thinking of this, Han Li felt a little envious.
The world that raised her had to face the invasion of the Abyss from the very beginning.
Countless sacrifices and efforts, but in the end, it was proved that they were only fighting against the fragments of the Abyss erosion.
Monsters and evil spirits.
The monsters that had once made human beings terrified were just cannon fodder under the influence of Abyss erosion.
Before even seeing the demons of the Abyss, the earth had already been tortured to the point of dying.
If it wasn’t for her good luck, she wouldn’t have been able to enter the world in the fog and obtain the help of the master in the fog.
Han Li knew what would happen to her and the entire world.
She would become another victim of the Abyss.
Billions of people would become nutrients for the Abyss.
That terrifying Abyss had eroded and torn apart countless worlds over the past countless years.
There was almost no record of failure!
The demon lords of the Abyss, even if a clone entered Earth, could destroy all humans!
And these people’s worlds were protected by that supreme being in the fog.
How fortunate!
Han Li sighed.
Now, she had learned about the multiverse through Little Ai.
It was indeed unfortunate to encounter the Abyss-eroded earth.
But…
If the Earth encountered the abyss’s enemy’s purgatory world or the celestial world’s erosion, the outcome would probably not be much better.
The devils in purgatory were almost the same as the demons in the Abyss.
Although the noble beings in the celestial world were of noble character, that was the bad part.
The angels, kirins, dragons of the Heaven Realm could not even rub their eyes against the sand.
The thing they loved to do the most was to purify all creatures that did not conform to their knowledge.
In the physical sense of purification!
Therefore, if the Heaven Realm saw the earth, they would also try to invade!
Human civilization had no means to escape!
The world that these people came from was much better as they had such powerful supreme beings protecting them.
The Heaven Realm, the Abyss, and the purgatory, they could probably run for countless light-years just by smelling the scent.
Not to mention erosion, they probably wouldn’t even dare to probe.
With this thought, Han Li said, “I’ve finally met all of you!”
She had already communicated with the Realm of Nightmare.
These people were here to help her.
Not only to protect Earth but also to follow her to the Abyss.
Li Shouyi and the others looked at each other and asked, “You were expecting us?”
“Yes!” Han Li nodded. “When the Realm of Nightmare had taken root on the other side of Earth, I already knew!”
“He communicated with me…”
Li Shouyi took a deep breath.
The girl in front of him could actually talk to the Realm of Nightmare?
And it was an equal conversation?
This…
He recalled the prompt from before.
The so-called great Abyss world and the so-called demon lord…
Thus, Li Shouyi asked, “We’re new here, so we’re still unclear about many things…”
“I wonder if you would be willing to explain the specific situation to us?”
Han Li smiled, “Of course! I’m ready as well!”
Li Shouyi and the others cupped their hands and bowed, “Thank you and sorry to trouble you!”
Han Li looked at their etiquette and was slightly stunned.
This kind of ancient etiquette was almost unknown after the apocalypse.
However, Han Li’s teacher had taught her when she was young, so she knew that these were the etiquette of ancient scholars!
Judging from the clothes and expressions of these people, there was no doubt that they came from a modern society that was close to Earth before the great apocalypse.
“Their world… What kind of world is it?” Han Li was curious.
…
Ling Ping’an stepped on the sampan, cut through the waves, and sped toward the north.
In a flash, a harbor appeared in front of them.
The flag of the Land of Qin fluttered above the harbor.
It was a colony’s harbor.
Looking at the harbor, Ling Ping’an gently stretched out his hand, stirring up a stream of water.
The seawater slowly condensed in his hand, gradually turning into the shape of a miniature harbor city.
Looking at the harbor model condensed by the seawater in his hand, Ling Ping’an pursed his lips slightly, “I’m in a good mood today, so I’ll do something good!”
The model in his hand lit up.
It was like an incandescent lamp.
Light bloomed from the model, and the temperature of the seawater rose rapidly.
Boom!
The model evaporated.
The port in the distance also lit up at the same time.
It was as if a hydrogen bomb had been detonated in the middle of the port.
It was as if the Sun had already set on the city.
The entire port shattered in the light.
Countless figures turned into specks of light and dissipated into nothingness!
Huang Qin watched from the side, dumbfounded.
This was beyond his imagination and understanding.
“When you did that…” he asked carefully, “Aren’t you afraid that the Realm of Nightmare will find trouble with you?”
According to this mysterious person’s words, the Realm of Nightmare would definitely not tolerate such acts of destroying his property.
Ling Ping’an smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, the Realm of Nightmare can’t wait for me to do this!”
As far as the Realm of Nightmare was concerned, no matter what happened in the Nightmare World, he would definitely make a profit without losing anything.
It was just like a casino.
Whether you lost or won, what did it have to do with a casino?
What the casino earned was pumping water!
It was the same for the Realm of Nightmare.
All the participants of the Nightmare Game were annihilated in the Nightmare World and he could harvest a batch of high-quality souls.
Nightmare Game players destroyed the Nightmare World.
He could take the opportunity to suck the energy from the Soul Ocean from the ripples created when Nightmare World was destroyed.
Thus, the Realm of Nightmare would never lose.
What the Realm of Nightmare was most afraid of was that no one would enter a Nightmare World.
Therefore, missions were created and he would try to use all kinds of methods to seduce/lure humans into it.
He had even evolved a way to make use of human psychology, using equipment, skills, and bloodlines as gimmicks.
In other words, this Realm of Nightmare was still in its infancy.
It was still developing.
If it was a Realm of Nightmare in its entirety, its authority would probably be equivalent to that of an external god.
Huang Qin listened, and he didn’t quite believe it.
But he had to believe it.
Because the realm didn’t react at all.
This meant that even the space had acknowledged this mysterious person.
Or they were afraid of this mysterious person’s heaven-reaching methods!
“Then what are you doing?” Huang Qin asked.
Ling Ping’an replied, “Actually… I’m not too sure either!”
“I’m just following my feelings…”
“I want to free these poor souls… So I free them!”
Such a ridiculous answer made Huang Qin tremble in fear and shock.
Huang Qin, who had been worrying about his livelihood ever since he graduated from high school, couldn’t imagine such an attitude.
“Continue to follow me!” Ling Ping’an said. “Free the poor souls of this world as soon as possible…”
“Maybe we’ll get something out of it!”
Ling Ping’an knew that his priority now was to toughen up his human nature.
However…
Entering the Realm of Nightmare, he could reveal his supernatural powers and familiarize himself with his status and strength without having to worry about affecting reality.
It also magnified his monster side.
Now, he could barely suppress it with his human nature.
But… Humanity was the most fragile thing.
He had only been in this Nightmare World for less than ten minutes, but countless evil thoughts had already appeared in his heart.
And when he used his strength without restraint…
Humanity would slowly be affected by his own strength.
Countless thoughts came flooding in.
“I’m not human, to begin with… Why should I adhere to this weak, pedantic and laughable humanity?”
“The so-called morality, good and evil, normal and crazy… They’re just concepts that humans have created themselves, and they’re just things that humans use to discipline the weak…”
“Why should I be bound by these boring things?”
“Even if I’m a human being… Shouldn’t it be ‘only a man can be true to his nature, and only a wise man can enjoy himself’?”
If it wasn’t for the education he had received and the things he had seen and heard in his daily life, they would be positive and beautiful.
He was afraid that at this moment, he had already wavered.
However, in the end, he was inevitably affected.
This made him confused.
As a human being, he was only an ordinary person.
He didn’t have any lofty aspirations, nor did he have any concept of helping the world.
All he wanted to think about was to win on equal footing and wait for death.
At most, he was just an ordinary person with a bottom line and perseverance.
How could he have a firm mentality and tenacious will?
However, he was a person who went with the flow.
Now, he suddenly realized that he was a monster and a monster master.
He could do whatever he wanted, and have anything he wanted!
With a snap of his finger, he could have countless powerful slaves working for him.
He had unimaginable strength.
It was normal that he couldn’t control it.
It was normal for him to be influenced, corroded, and led astray.
The only fortunate thing was…
As a part of humanity, he was already used to going with the flow.
He had no ambition, no ideals, and no superfluous desires.
His only hobby was playing games.
His daily routine was to find some delicious food and play some fun games.
If it was someone with a little ambition or ideals.
At this moment, his humanity would probably be wiped clean.
After understanding this point, Ling Ping’an didn’t calm down.
Instead, he became even more uneasy.
Because he discovered a terrifying problem.
Was he… Real?
Or just an illusory bubble?
Just like the natives of Nightmare World.
Just an illusion created by some higher-level creature using some kind of material?
His insistence, life, and principles…
Was it his choice?
Or was it imposed on him by others?
If it was…
Was he actually himself?
If not, then why would he have such a special mentality and principles?
Because these things were a medicine that could restrain the terrifying consciousness and crazy thoughts of those monsters.
It could balance them!
Thinking of this, Ling Ping’an felt that even in this Nightmare World, he was just a physical body projected by his thoughts.
He was also struggling violently.
In reality, he might have already grown many eyeballs and tentacles.
His intuition told him, if he couldn’t solve this problem, he would probably be a monster when he leaves.
Humanity would be suppressed.
The side of a crazy monster would be revealed.
So…
He must solve this problem!
