Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1004
The moment Lu Ning saw the corpse, she had already turned into a mist form, and at the same time included all the life signals around her within her investigation range.The fire in both eyes flickered, but no black life logo was seen.

Not containment?Or is she coming out late?

Lu Ning returned to normal.

The four contained objects in the same corridor as Orange Time are B6 Tiger, B9 Cloud Cutting Sword, and C17 Fu Lu Shou Xi.They all have the ability to break through the containment, but as far as Lu Ning observes now, each containment is still safe in the containment unit.She moved closer to the corpse, which was face down, and the blood had accumulated a small puddle under the body, which had not yet completely solidified.

She poked the corpse's head slightly with her foot, she didn't recognize this face.And in a hurry, she couldn't think of which of the eighty containment objects at the same level could cause such a wound.

No, there was no alarm, and it might not even be a breakthrough.She turned the body over and found that the wound was on the chest and abdomen. It was a sharp cut that hurt the heart and killed her with one blow.

"A one-hit kill in a frontal attack?"

Lu Ning noticed that something was missing at the scene.Judging from the posture of the dead executor, he should have fought back with the core weapon, but the core weapon was gone.The containment will not deliberately capture the core weapon of the executor, at most it will be smashed.

There are executors who attack their own people?How many ghosts are there going to be?
Lu Ning quickly returned to the temporary lounge and retrieved the video of the corresponding corridor.However, since the perpetrator was the executor, he obviously came prepared. Lu Ning could only see that the corpse suddenly appeared in the corridor about five or six minutes before she came out.

It is impossible for the video of Judgment Island to be edited, so this is the effect of some kind of core weapon itself.Lu Ning didn't see the attacker appearing, obviously the other party was more cautious than expected.

The video of the other corridors was selected and compared at the same time period, but the crime scene could not be found.After reporting the incident, Lu Ning searched for the identity of the deceased.Lu Ning didn't know the team he came from, and he was in charge of B6 Tiger today, which meant that there was no problem with him appearing in that corridor.

"Ok?"

Lu Ning moved the monitoring time forward again, and took out a few corridor videos to watch.

The trajectory of the deceased after leaving the lounge...is problematic.

As I said before, the corpse suddenly appeared in the corridor. If he was supposed to work in the containment unit in that corridor, where did he go before?Although the executor's management work does not have to be completed at a certain time, the habit of ordinary people should be to finish the work first.

And this person... After setting off, he walked into the other two corridors and disappeared.

Lu Ning confirmed the situation in several adjacent corridors. Yes, the deceased just disappeared. Did he step into some kind of trap, or was it his own ability to disappear from the surveillance?

At this time, several executors returned one after another.Many people actually don't care much about the death of someone, and no one even came to see Lu Ning's investigation.Most of the newcomers from low-level buildings are like this. Lu Ning has never worked with this group of people before, and now it seems that they are much more indifferent than Lu Ning and his group.

Soon, Judgment Island fed back a message to Lu Ning's report.

"A private alliance?"

How long has it been since this group of newbies have done so many things?
To put it simply, some of the last batch of newcomers sensed that the crisis was approaching, and out of concerns about the level of their core weapons and other reasons, they began to form gangs.This kind of behavior seems to be hidden, but it can't escape the eyes of Judgment Island. It's just because it can't cause any serious consequences, and it doesn't deliberately stop it.

The corpse that Lu Ning found was a member of this small group.

"Infighting? No..."

At this moment, Zhou Weiyuan, Felici, and Tian Gong also returned to the lounge, and when they saw Lu Ning sitting in front of the screen thinking, they all came over.

"What happened? Why don't you eat lunch?" Zhou Weiyuan asked.

"Take a look." Lu Ning showed the information she had collected to her teammates, "I don't think it's a simple murder."

"Obvious murder and piracy," Felici said.

"We can also use other people's core weapons. In essence, the more weapons the better. However, this person... parallel level?" Zhou Weiyuan frowned, "Parallel weapons may have some special effects, but combat provides The improvement is negligible."

"You can't think like this. If you kill a parallel class today, what if they target other classes later?" Tian Gong said with some righteous indignation.

"Even if low-level core weapons want to assassinate high-level ones, it's very difficult. They can't do leapfrog killings." Felici shook his head slightly.

Yes, the level of the core weapon is a very clear division of strength, and even a low level will be punished by a certain amount of damage reduction. The challenge of leapfrogging is basically just thinking about it, but... what if it can be upgraded?

"Take away the core weapon...killing the executor, these can also increase the level of the core weapon, right? Did the captain say that? Kill the executor and integrate into the same kind of weapon..." Lu Ning asked.

It is indeed mentioned, but the most common method is generally by smashing the core of doom.

"Integrating similar weapons is difficult to do, and it requires professionals outside the ring to help knock out impurities." Zhou Weiyuan said, "Yan Rong told me that she consulted several workshops. It’s not that the appearance is the same, but that the experience and personality of the original holder of the core weapon are similar to yours. In addition, if they are different, it is not impossible to integrate, but the impurities are very large. Although it can improve the strength, But it will make your own strength muddy."

"Then we may need to guess those people in the worst possible way." Felici's voice became gloomy, "Improve your strength first to overcome the difficulties, and then consider the harmful effects of rapid improvement on yourself. This is the result of many short-sighted people It’s something that people immediately think of.”

"Oh, there's no need to judge so extremely. After all, if you know that you are about to face a fatal situation, you will definitely seize any opportunity to improve." Zhou Weiyuan laughed, "It's just that this kind of behavior at the expense of others often attracts A greater evil."

"What, do you have any ideas for how to deal with it?" Lu Ning asked.

"If we go to deal with it, there are only two ways." Zhou Weiyuan raised two fingers.

Either directly wipe out this force, or let it go.

It is impractical to adopt a restraint scheme, and no one has the spare power to regulate it.The most Lu Ning can do is to inform the captains of these people, but... how useful is it?

"Lu Ning, we don't need to worry about their own internal affairs. After all, this is the way they choose to live, and we just need to pay attention to this group of people and don't let them target us." Zhou Weiyuan said.

His words were endorsed by several teammates next to him.Lu Ning didn't pay attention to this matter for the sake of justice. She just thought that these people could actually attack her own people, so maybe she couldn't do more cruel things.

What Zhou Weiyuan meant was to be on guard against them at all times, anyway, we won't be spending too long together.As for Lu Ning, her first reaction after knowing the truth was to kill all these people to avoid future troubles.

"Tigers are a problem?" Lu Ning asked.

"It can't be raised." Zhou Weiyuan patted her on the shoulder, "Do you need me to promise you?"

"never mind."

The work in the afternoon is not for "Orange Hour", Lu Ning has to make management preparations.She still has a lot of doubts.For example, at this time, the cannibalism is not disguised at all. Are these people afraid that others will not find it?It's okay to kill people by hand, why did you deliberately throw the corpse back into the corridor where you should be working?

The behavior of these people is full of all kinds of superfluous behaviors, and they don't even do the basic destruction of corpses and traces, as if they are waiting to be discovered by her.

Lu Ning's work in the afternoon is D9 Altar of Truth and D15 Master of Crime. That's right, there are two parallel storages to be managed. This is also some responsibility that increases with the level of executors.The two containments are in the same hallway.She walked into the containment unit of the Altar of Truth, and immediately felt the oppression and bloodiness here.

The "Altar of Truth" is a wishing machine at the cost of life. It has the simplest conversion formula of "life equals wish". As long as a certain number of lives are sacrificed, it can satisfy a wish of the wisher.And if life is not enough, then he will sacrifice the wisher and accumulate it to wait for the next wisher to arrive.

In its original world, the Altar of Truth can directly draw life within about 50 meters around it as a wishing sacrifice, but on this Judgment Island, its effect is limited to its own containment unit. Its management work must also be carried out by one person, because if there are too many people, any one of them who has the intention of offering sacrifices can endanger the lives of others.

The Altar of Truth itself is a building made of white stones. Moss covers most of the area on the altar. The air is slightly humid, but it has a fresh breath.

In the new rulebook that Lu Ning got now, it is recorded how each contained object brought the original world into doomsday. This altar almost infinitely magnified the human desires of that world. When the recovery team arrived, about 90.00 % of human beings have been sacrificed by the remaining people, and the remaining [-]% have become either superhumans or monsters because of the sacrifices. They...or in other words, they fight each other in an extraordinary posture , just to drag the other party to the altar to continue offering sacrifices, so that he can continue to ascend, and no one even noticed that the world he lived on was already on the verge of destruction because of such a battle.

However, here, its management difficulty is only "and".

Similar to "Orange Time", as long as you don't make a wish on the altar, the executor is basically safe.Lu Ning only needs to clean up the altar routinely, and use special instruments to test whether the altar is still functioning normally.It didn't take long, and after half a moment, Lu Ning walked out of the containment unit.

As she closed the door, she saw two other Executors standing in the hallway, at the door of another containment unit.Spotting Lu Ning coming out, the two nodded slightly to her.Lu Ning also nodded in response, and then the two left in a hurry.

Suspicious actions... Lu Ning frowned, she was getting more and more suspicious now.But management is still the top priority. She walked to the containment unit of the "Master Criminal" and swiped her card to open the door.

However, the moment she walked into the containment unit, Lu Ning's muscles tensed up—the contents that should have been sitting in this cell-like containment unit were gone!

"Shh, take it easy."

A brisk man's voice sounded behind Lu Ning, and she immediately turned into a mist, taking in everything around her.A black flame is burning brightly in the field of vision, which means that the "Master Criminal" has breached containment!

This is just a containment that becomes fierce after a breakthrough. Even if Lu Ning fights alone, he may not be better than Fang Ruo, but the criminal master... this containment is quite treacherous.

"Ah, irritable, irritable, suspicious. The psychological pressure of this broken place is really great, isn't it? Every time I need to kill people to vent, I always have this feeling, an impulse. But we We are all mature people, and we can suppress our nature." The criminal master did not take any offensive actions, but muttered behind Lu Ning.

"Go back to the containment unit, or I'll beat you back." Lu Ning said in a deep voice.Now "Master Criminal" has not shown her doomsday core "Fancy Murder", she must put pressure on the other party.

"If I really wanted to leave, with my skill, you wouldn't see me here. I was just curious, because I smelled a smell of the same kind, so I stayed here. As a result, I didn't it disappointed me."

Lu Ning shot directly, and the sickle was drawn towards Hei Yan, but Hei Yan disappeared in an instant, and reappeared behind Lu Ning's side.

"You see, this is you. Killing impulse, no careful planning, killing as a priority, and eliminating all threats. Have you lived in a harmonious environment for too long? But you can't go against your nature, If you have been suppressed all the time, accidents will happen to people. Now your pressure is very high, you need to vent, if you don't accept those methods you don't like, isn't it a good opportunity now?"

The criminal master whispered softly, and Lu Ning didn't even notice that her movements were a little slow.

Some containments are very good at targeting people's hearts, and the criminal master is undoubtedly one of them. At this time, Lu Ning also noticed another problem that everyone seemed to have not noticed.

"Hey, Executor. When you think about 'killing' someone..."

...and she will act immediately!

The black mist rushed out of the containment unit of the "Criminal Master", and the scythe wiped out blue flames on the ground, but silence enveloped everything.
