[Armor: Eternal Insect Swarm's Protection]
[Temporary Armor, a rare item]
[This armor has the following abilities:]
[Chitin Barrier: Able to resist any type of attack from any direction]
[Life Closure: No matter what kind of attack you face, you won't completely die on the spot, but will instead enter a unique state of suspended animation that looks exactly like death, used to deceive the enemy]
[Carapace Healing: The armor will self-heal, at the same time healing all wounds on your body]
— — this armor is quite nice, Gu Qing Shan silently thought.
He opened the door and went out.
It was nighttime, the streets outside were filled with cold air, and there were very few people here and there.
A sense of killing intent appeared in Gu Qing Shan's mind.
He looked around, only to see that everyone was in a hurry with solemn expressions on their faces.
As if … something had happened.
Or rather, the entire organization was currently doing something.
But the Sovereign of Pain had been stationed in the void for a very long time and hadn't returned for a very long time, so he naturally didn't know anything.
According to the organization's rules, no member was allowed to reveal their mission, unless they were in the same group to achieve a certain grand goal. Only then could they communicate about each other's situation.
The organization gave the Sovereign of Pain a bit of time to rest.
So Gu Qing Shan didn't have any missions on him.
Even if he wanted to, he couldn't find anyone to ask.
At this point, a man wearing sunglasses walked past him and greeted Gu Qing Shan: "Sovereign of Pain, welcome back to the organization"
"How have you been recently? Come and have a drink with me when you have time "Gu Qing Shan showed a rare smile and greeted him using the Sovereign of Pain's memories.
This man was an old acquaintance of the Sovereign of Pain, both of them came from the same era and were both Combatants of that era.
— — -this kind of relationship could already be considered very close within the void.
The man was a bit tempted, but shook his head: "No, I'm about to accept a mission"
While he was talking, a Card appeared from the void of space and lightly hovered in front of the sunglasses man.
"Look at this mission, how annoying, hah" the sunglasses man drew the Card and commented.
"See you later, I'll wait for you at the bar. If you're able to complete the quest and come back in time, I'll buy you a glass of my best liquor," said Gu Qing Shan.
The man regretfully said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time, I'm going to participate in a large-scale battle, those guys are really — — -"
The man didn't want to say anything more, so he nodded at Gu Qing Shan and disappeared in a flash.
Gu Qing Shan paused for a moment, then continued walking forward.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't ask what the other party was doing, he just treated them to a drink.
This was not a violation of the rules.
Coupled with the relationship between the two of them, no one would suspect anything.
So —
What kind of large-scale battle was that?
Why did even the Void Master have a headache?
Gu Qing Shan was confused.
He walked all the way to the bar opened by the organization.
— Tide of Souls Bar.
"Welcome, Sovereign King of Pain. I heard that you encountered someone from the Sacred World. Let me congratulate you on surviving."
A deep voice rang out.
Gu Qing Shan coldly glanced over.
Behind the bar counter, a man who was as majestic as a mountain greeted him with a warm smile on his face.
Although the man's smile was gentle, it revealed a mouthful of dark red teeth.
— — -it was the Holy Eater Demon.
No Holy lifeform was a match for it, they could only be devoured by it.
During its era, no one was able to deal with it.
It was also known as the most ferocious demon of the void, but after disappearing for a while, it somehow joined the Miracle deck.
Gu Qing Shan's expression was indifferent as she sat down in front of the bar counter.
「 Holy Eater, give me a glass of blood rose 」 he spoke in a low voice.
「 How did you manage to survive the Sacred World's attack? Tell me, and I'll give you a glass of Holy Apostle's blood for free 」 the Holy Eater Demon replied.
"Stop asking about me" Gu Qing Shan replied.
The Holy Eater Demon stared closely at Gu Qing Shan. The smile in its eyes slowly faded and turned into a pair of cold and venomous vertical pupils.
It lightly spoke: 「 Sovereign King of Pain, do you really think that just because you've stayed in the void for a while, you're qualified to join the first echelon? No, I'll be the first to forbid you from joining — — because you're too weak 」
Even the Void Lords had their own strengths and weaknesses.
The first echelon was naturally the strongest group of people in the entire Miracle deck.
They held the authority of the entire organization, knew the most secrets, and participated in the most difficult missions.
When Gu Qing Shan was about to say something, the other party had already drawn a card and placed it on the bar counter.
The card depicted a vast and majestic arena.
「 Want to fight me? 」 the Holy Eater Demon provoked her.
"Fight you? What's in it for me? "Gu Qing Shan asked.
「 Don't worry, since we're from the same organization, I won't eat you 」 the Holy Eater Demon replied.
"There's nothing in it"
Gu Qing Shan appeared disappointed, as well as a bit dispirited.
The Sovereign King of Pain only cares about profit, he won't fight without any benefits, so I have to act the same way as him.
Sure enough, the Holy Eater Demon scowled: 「 I forgot, you've always been a petty person, you don't know what the joy of fighting is 」
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything, displaying an expression that said she didn't want to pay him any attention.
He flipped open the card book and casually put a coin card on the table.
「 I've paid for the liquor, now bring me more, don't waste my time 」 he said impatiently.
The Holy Eater Demon begrudgingly put the card away and slammed a glass of liquor down in front of him.
「 I heard that soul-type Void Lords like you have a particularly delicious heart after manifesting a solid body — — - one day in the future, I'll eat your heart 」 the Holy Eater Demon declared.
Gu Qing Shan evaluated him: "Unfortunately, there's nothing delicious about you, even your soul reeks of blood. After I kill you, I'll have no choice but to find a few dogs to eat your soul"
One of them was a flesh-eating demon, the other a soul-eating monster, neither of them were good people, having always been cruel and vicious, so this conversation was nothing more than casual chit-chat.
「 Let's talk business, I want to buy some information from you 」 the Holy Eater Demon said.
Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised.
In truth, the bar was the place with the most information, and as the owner of the bar, the secrets the Holy Eater Demon knew should only be second to the core members of the organization.
And now he wants to buy information from me.
"What kind of information do you want to buy?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Holy Eater Demon replied: 「 The target of your mission — — the guy you killed earlier 」
Gu Qing Shan immediately became serious: "What is it? You should know the rules, I won't tell you anything about my mission "
Missions were always kept secret.
Casually revealing the contents of a mission to members who didn't participate in the mission was a taboo of the organization.
「 Of course I know, and I won't ask about that person, but do you know where his weapon went? 」 the Holy Eater Demon asked.
How interesting.
Gu Qing Shan calmed down, tilted his head back, and downed the empty glass in front of the Holy Eater Demon.
The Holy Eater filled his glass to the brim, but didn't mention anything about money, instead saying: 「 If you know anything about the whereabouts of his weapon, I will accept this information as information 」
"His weapon … was several swords, I don't know which one you're talking about" Gu Qing Shan replied.
「 There were two swords among them, one was called 'Heaven', and the other 'Earth' 」 the Holy Eater Demon replied.
「 Ah, I have some recollection of them 」 Gu Qing Shan said.
「 I want to know the whereabouts of those two swords 」 the Holy Eater Demon said.
「 Tell me why you want to know the whereabouts of those two swords, then give me the corresponding payment and I'll tell you the information 」 Gu Qing Shan slowly said.
He took out a card from his chest and placed a Card on the bar counter.
A bright red heart was drawn on the card, soaking in clear spring water.
Card: Spring of Lies!
The Holy Eater Demon glanced at the Card and muttered: 「 You don't trust me? 」
Gu Qing Shan coldly smiled without saying a word.
The Holy Eater Demon had no choice but to take out another Card and flung it forward with a flick of his finger.
Instantly, the scenery around them disappeared.
The two of them stood in a completely sealed world of pure white.
「 It's a bit more confidential here 」 the Holy Eater Demon said.
"Hm, go ahead" Gu Qing Shan held the [Spring of Lies] Card in her hand and said.
「 Quite a few people in the organization are interested in those two swords, because they all sensed that the two swords were created using a method from beyond the void 」 the Holy Eater Demon said.
Gu Qing Shan didn't say anything and simply stared at the Card in her hand.
The Holy Eater Demon had no choice but to continue: 「 I wonder what kind of person forged those two swords, but if we can find that person, we might be able to follow some clues and discover the secret of the world beyond the void 」
「 — — -this is something that only an organization of our caliber would have the strength to do 」
Gu Qing Shan looked at the Card in her hand.
The Card didn't change at all.
He wasn't lying.
He put the Card away and said: "Very well, now give me a satisfactory payment and I'll tell you the whereabouts of those two swords"
The Holy Eater Demon appeared glad and took out a few Cards from his card book.
