Chapter 578

Baret did not bring any underlings with him for this visit.

In fact, even if he did, he would not be able to sit down. This was because everyone's room in Purgatory Gates was only about ten square meters. Other than a bed and a toilet bowl, there was basically nothing else. In such a small space, it would be hard to fit anything else.

He came alone, of course, not because Gu Ding's room was too small. If it was in the past, he liked to have people around him no matter what he did, but now he felt that there was no need for that.

The main reason he was looking for Gu Ding was to fulfill his bet from the day before.

When he arrived at the door of Gu Ding's room, he, who never had the habit of knocking, hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door a few times. Of course, he knew that Gu Ding was in the room, but he did not release his Soul Power to check, so he did not know what Gu Ding was doing. It was better to knock on the door first.

"Come in." Gu Ding's voice came quickly. He had actually known that Baret was coming.

He pushed the door open and entered the room. Looking at the white walls, Baret did not find it strange because every newcomer's room was like this. Only permanent residents would decorate the room with something.

"I lost the battle yesterday. I'm here to fulfill my bet." Barete stepped into the room, but he remained standing near the door. He felt a little uncomfortable facing Gu Ding again.

"Oh, then transfer the money." Gu Ding did not bother with pleasantries and directly handed over his wristwatch.

Baret raised his hand and connected with Gu Ding's wristwatch. A moment later, a beep was heard. Gu Ding kept his wristwatch. His points had increased by a million points.

"Thanks." Gu Ding actually felt that he went a little overboard this time.

His original plan was to bet four hundred and seventy thousand points and have a good fight with his opponent without using his killer move. In the end, not only did he cheat his opponent of a million points, but he also almost left his opponent with a psychological scar.

Of course, although the cause of the incident was Baret's provocation, Baret did not have any ill intentions towards him. He did not let others challenge him because he wanted to be the first to go up the stage. He was not trying to sabotage Gu Ding on purpose. When he said that he would let Gu Ding have three moves first, it was just his personality. He did not mean to belittle Gu Ding.

At that time, Gu Ding also felt that the other party's attitude was a little too arrogant, so he tried his best to suppress the other party's arrogance.

After transferring a million points, Barete's face was calm and did not show any signs of reluctance. However, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he asked, "You should be heading to the third level soon, right?"

"There is no longer any need to stay on the second floor." Gu Ding nodded. He knew that he would not be able to stay on the third level for long. His goal was the eighth level.

"I'm also getting ready to leave," Barrett said.

"You also want to go to the third floor?"

Gu Ding was a little surprised. Neptune had only told him that Barete had built a pirate crew in the canteen called the Guardians. As for the details, they did not reveal much, so Gu Ding did not know that Barete would be leaving as well.

"Yes, there's really no need to stay on the second level." Barete nodded. His thoughts were the same as Gu Ding's.

"But your friends …"

"They will take good care of themselves. It will be hard for them to grow up if they always live under my protection. Moreover, I'm not strong enough myself. I need to become stronger, "Barete said and suddenly lowered his head. As Barete spoke, he suddenly lowered his head. After a moment of silence, he raised his head again. "Actually, the main reason why I stayed in the second level of the Gates of Purgatory wasn't because of those lackeys. There are other reasons … "

Gu Ding raised his eyebrows. "Sit down and talk."

Gu Ding said as he sat down on the bed.

Barete hesitated for a moment but still sat down. Then, he turned his head and pointed at the scar on his face. "Do you see this scar on my face?"

Gu Ding nodded and gestured for him to continue.

"This scar was left by an enemy when I was five years old. That demon-like man, in order to obtain the power of our Succubus Tribe's bloodline, he massacred our branch of the Succubus Tribe. I still remember that day. The ground was littered with the dried corpses of our people who had their blood sucked dry by that man. As for the children, their eyeballs, brains, and organs were eaten before their bodies were tossed aside. "

"I was the last Succubus to be caught by him. I did not even have the slightest ability to resist before I was caught. He used his fingernails to scratch my face. Just as he was about to dig out my eyes, an Interstellar Wanderer came to save me. "

"I've always kept this scar so that I can remember that day forever."

"After that, I cultivated with the Wanderer. I slowly awakened my bloodline and became stronger. In order to save me, the Wanderer exchanged a blow with that man and was left with internal injuries. A few years later, he was killed by the Heavenly Punishment. "

"Before he died, he finally told me the identity of the enemy. The person who killed our entire tribe was called Van Pyle. He was a Blood Breed prince with true god-level strength. He even warned me not to seek revenge. "

"After that, I spent twenty years to raise my strength to half-step true god-level. At the same time, I also collected all kinds of information about the Blood Breed. When I was twenty-eight years old, I began to seek revenge. I did not know when I would find Van Pyle. So, I began to kill other Blood Breed madly. "

"In less than a year, I slaughtered all eight Blood Breed lairs. Those eight lairs were only the lowest level lairs of the Blood Breed. Each of them only occupied a planetary sector. The guardians were not very strong. They only had the strength of extreme deities. "

"After that, I was besieged by the Blood Breed and the Federal Government. That was because the Blood Breed was one of the strongest fighting races in the human camp. Moreover, many of the Blood Breed worked for the Federal Government and had a close cooperative relationship with it. Unlike our Succubus, there were less than ten branches in the Cosmic Sea. They only sent some fighting members occasionally. "

"I was also wanted. The Federal Government identified me as a violent terrorist. My picture was spread everywhere. The guy called Van Pyle found out about this. He quickly recognized me and used some means to find me. "

"It was a rainy night. I was drinking in a tavern. He suddenly appeared on the seat next to me. He told me everything he had done back then through telepathy. He did not leave out a single detail. He told me how he bit through the arteries of those adults, how many liters of blood he swallowed, and how much time he spent. He also told me how he ate those children alive. He cut open their faces, dug out their eyes, cut open their chests, and listened to their cries … "

"I was very angry. However, under the pressure of a true god, I could not even move a finger. I could not even do something as simple as shattering my eardrums. I could only listen to him word by word. "

"After telling me all this, he also told me that many members of the other branches of the Goblin Race were investigating this matter. However, because he had thrown all the planets that our people lived on into a black hole and destroyed all traces, no one was able to find out what exactly happened back then."

"After telling me all this, he even pulled me into his miniature world and showed me the transformation ability he had obtained from our Succubus."

"However, he did not kill me in the end. He said that it would be more fun for him to let me live. He captured me and gave me to a keeper of the law. After that, I was imprisoned in the Gates of Purgatory. "

Baret's story sounded very sad. Gu Ding had been quietly listening to it and did not interrupt. This was because he knew that for Baret, telling a secret that had been buried in his heart was also a way to vent. There was no need for him to express his opinion.

"No one has ever successfully escaped from the Gates of Purgatory. I was sentenced to three million years in prison. Therefore, after being imprisoned for so many years, I became more and more aware that I would never be able to take revenge. I became more and more dispirited. "

"I stayed on the second level of the Gates of Purgatory because this place could bring me the joy of victory. Also, Bruce and the others were like family to me. I needed these false feelings of belonging and joy to numb my true feelings. Therefore, I chose to stay here. "

"However, what you said yesterday woke me up. Although I might not be able to escape successfully, as long as I continue to cultivate and become stronger, I might be able to wait for three million years. Perhaps, after three million years, when I get out of prison, I will be stronger than Van Pyle. True God, although a level that is difficult to reach, if one does not work hard, they will never know if they can reach it. The most important thing is not to give up. "

"I still remember that the Interstellar Wanderer who saved me also said something. He said that a dream is a seed. Only by watering it with perseverance and hard work will it grow into a towering tree and bear delicious fruit. My dream is to cut off Van Pyle's head with my own hands. Although this dream is not very healthy, it is still my dream. I will work hard to irrigate it and make it come true. "

"After saying so much nonsense, thank you for listening to this somewhat cliché story." After finishing his story, the corner of Baret's mouth finally curled up. He changed the topic to Gu Ding.

"I watched a lot of videos and other information about you yesterday. I also saw the declaration you made when you were arrested. You said that you would escape from the Gates of Purgatory within three years. Although there has never been a precedent of someone escaping from the Gates of Purgatory, I don't know why, but I feel that you might really be able to do it … "

"I will definitely be able to do it because I promised that I would not let my partners down." Gu Ding was still smiling confidently.
