Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1011
Lu Ning removed the box on the compressor that should be regarded as a storage module, and walked towards the giant.Of course, she needs to kill the other person first, which is not difficult.After killing the giant, Lu Ning stuck the box on the opponent's body, and with the sound of breaking and compressing, the huge body was easily sucked into her hand, which was about the size of a normal pencil case. inside the box.Lu Ning installed it back into the compressor, pressed the button, and as the three working indicators lit up in turn, a dark brown "bomb" with some green spots fell out of it.

All compressed bombs have a safety pick on the side, as long as the pick is lifted off, it can be thrown out.Whether it is hit hard, or 15 seconds after the pick is pulled out, the bomb will explode, and it is all about speed and ease of use.

"That's right, I won't test the explosion." Lu Ning nodded.

"Then, please sign here on the receipt." The courier took out a receipt, and after Lu Ning signed it, everything around him immediately returned to normal.The courier bent slightly, then turned and left, disappearing into the air just like last time.

Lu Ning put the bomb in her pocket and walked out of the prison.

There are a total of four cells in this prison area. Apart from Lu Ning's cell which has been smashed, another cell has been destroyed.Lu Ning turned her head and walked to her cell, and looked at the railings.

The whole of the prison is made of metal, as are the railings.It's just that the damaged railing part reveals the grain of the wood.If this isn't some kind of jerry-built means, what special means does the giant who just destroyed the prison have?

Lu Ning walked to the other two prisons that were still locked.In a prison lay a fat man with dark purple skin, sleeping soundly, and some oil seemed to be dripping from his skin.The person in the other prison was skinny, staring blankly at a piece of graffiti on the wall, no matter what he said, he didn't answer.

The two unresponsive prisoners, Lu Ning, yelled twice and then let go of her. She continued to explore and found a place where jailers and the like were supposed to be on duty.There was no one here, just some useless boards and cups on the corner shelves, which were already gathering dust.There was only one set of table and chairs in the middle, and a half-burnt candle in a candlestick in the center of the table, and nothing else.What deserves more attention is that there is a wooden box near the stairs, the wood has decayed a lot, she knocked off the lock to open the box, and took out a key from inside.

Lu Ning had seen the appearance of the cell lock, but it did not match the size of the key.She walked towards the stairs, but there was no upward direction, and she went down. After turning a corner, the stairs that continued forward were blocked by an iron gate.

She opened the door with a key, and then took out a sickle to try. The lock of the iron door can be easily cut off by the sickle, even if there is no key.

"……eccentric."

That giant must be weird. The closed means of this prison can't hold people at all. Could it be that the prisoner is locked in only by means of not giving an exit?

"To warn the villains, huh?"

If everything is like a heavenly stem and earthly branch, then what happened in this prison should be depicted to make "thugs terrified" in order to achieve this effect.And if there is such a loose management inside, is it to let others watch the prisoners inside fight each other?
Lu Ning thought about this question and walked to the next floor.

There are also four prisons, and the conditions of the prison are much better than hers. At least the room is not rusty, and the metal layer is intact.There was also nothing on the shelves in the duty area outside, not even the boxes this time.Lu Ning walked to the prison area, and immediately heard a few sneers.

Sitting in a prison cell was a man wrapped in a dirty white robe, with only a pair of dark eyes exposed. After two cold snorts, the man turned his head away and stopped looking at Lu Ning.

"Hey, don't worry about it."

In another cell sat a young man with a bald head, who looked like an ordinary strong young man. He waved to Lu Ning with a smile: "That guy just likes to play tricks, so just ignore him. You Is it the new jailer?"

"No." Lu Ning said.

"No? Then you are a prisoner? Impossible. Prisoners shouldn't be able to get out."

"Okay, I think . . . you can come out, too."

Lu Ning would not be deceived by his harmless appearance. In fact, among the four cells, this man had the strongest flame of life, even stronger than the giant before.

"I don't have a key, can you let me out?"

"You don't need a key." Lu Ning said, "Sixteen prisoners are being held here, but there are no matching facilities. I think you and I both know..."

"Oh." The man crossed his legs, rested his chin on one hand, and said with a smile, "You know?"

"You—here—"

"Let's make a bet." The man said, "If you can get out from here, you can tell the situation here and your conjecture. I can even tell you some secrets, but if you lose, you will be in For this cave of caves, be a prisoner for the rest of your life."

"Are you a heavenly stem... or an earthly branch?" Lu Ning stared at the burning black flame.

"Neither of them, Executor." The man stood up slowly, grasping the railing of the prison with both hands, "Don't you realize that? All living beings are like me, and I am all living beings. There are so many living beings, which of them is me?"

As soon as the words fell, the railing shattered in the palm of the man, and reassembled into a straight knife with a narrow blade.

The sound of iron chains rattled around Lu Ning, the sickle hooked around, and she caught the invisible prison, and Lu Ning's eyes were extremely alert: "You can't fool me."

"I don't need to lie, this place is what it is." The man turned the straight knife upside down and aimed the blade at his throat, "Executor, don't you want a stronger power? Existences like you can't break through the shackles of time , but we can. Come, see you—your strength in the corner of time."

He stabbed the blade into his throat, and this time, the man as a whole began to shatter like glass.

Lu Ning grabbed an iron chain and pulled herself into the air, and several clouds of mist floated around her, covering her front and back.The black flames in her field of vision are flying away like an explosion, and a mass of crimson fire is morphing out of the black flames.

"Heavenly Stems" and "Earthly Branches" have always been suppressed by executors as a single containment because of their joint breakthrough characteristics, and their own characteristics after breakthroughs also prevent many people from making too strict distinctions between them.

But now, Lu Ning knows that what she is facing is the "Earthly Branches"... Yes, if they are really completely one, why would they distinguish between madness and gods?Even if Tiangan's statistics are a little looser, it shouldn't be distinguished in this way.

"Are you still thinking about anything else?"

The man's voice rang in Lu Ning's ears, and dozens of figures were reflected in the surrounding glass-like shattered space, each of which was indistinct.The automatic counterattack in the mist instantly protruded the sickle, but it collided with the blade in the air.

"It's all phantom."

Even this space—it should be said that everything that constitutes the glass-like shattering effect is a phantom, a unique phantom created by the Earthly Branches. All living beings mastered by "Earthly Branches" can simulate any life, even including the red flame identified as human beings by Lu Ning, and Earthly Branches can also be created.

"The human gods and monsters recorded in those incidents..." Lu Ning blocked the straight knife from the side, but the chain used to block it was cut by the blade. "Actually, is it your credit?"

"I don't want you to make a clear distinction between the Earthly Branches and the Heavenly Stems. However, those creatures were indeed born from the records of the Earthly Branches." The man said with a smile, "You can think about these things slowly after you survive, Executor."

click.

The space was broken again, this time, Lu Ning saw a pair of dark eyes.The man wrapped in the white cloth robe suddenly added more cracks in the space, a hand as thin as a chicken's claw, holding a stone pestle, stretched in from the hole, and tried to widen it, Let the body get in.

these prisoners...

"Sixteen prisoners, besides you and the one you killed, there are fourteen more." The man's voice seemed to come from afar this time, "Do you know? Their ending has been revealed, so no matter what this record does It doesn't matter."

"Are you prompting me, or are you trying to keep misleading me?"

"Being able to think this way means that your quality as an executor is still good, so keep working hard."

The state of the Earthly Branches seems to be closer to some kind of spectacle.And many intelligent contained objects seem to have this characteristic—they treat the executors with a superior attitude, and pose some dangerous problems to them. The difference is the end of death.

"Thinking about something else?"

Very wrong.

Lu Ning will indeed think about the opponent's flaws and ways to break the game during the battle, but this process is usually very fast, not to mention that most of the surrounding fog is automatically defending, and she does not make mistakes because of distraction in the battle.But the other party can always detect the time she is thinking.

My power in the corner of time?
Lu Ning immediately understood the reason. As an existence that can control time, Earthly Branches can even capture fragments of the future of each executor, and theoretically, each executor has the potential of a god-level core weapon.

But the man's attack has not broken through her atomization so far, which is very unreasonable for an existence with a god-level containment as its backing.Lu Ning also doesn't think that after reaching the god level, she will be helpless against the crazy level herself.

At this moment, she felt a huge force hit her body, even if the atomization was not affected, the strong wind still blew her away.Two other prisoners had also appeared at this time, one was an old man with a beard, holding a hammer in one hand.The other is a woman with a scar on her face, clutching a shield.

The sense of rupture in the space became more serious. Lu Ning raised her head and glanced at the four prisoners who appeared in the glass-like shards, then waved her hand and cut the ground under her - with a purple knife.

The earthly branch is very evil, it arranged a mystery in this phantom space, and then used a bunch of tricks to deceive her, Lu Ning knew this very well.But she can also feel that the secrets involving her own god level have been borrowed just as Dizhi said. After all, fishing still really needs bait.

The rule book made it very clear from the beginning: In case of unexpected departure from the team, the rule book will be given priority, and in case of any conflict, the earliest memory shall prevail.In addition, the truth agreed by the executors cannot be trusted with the contents.

Unbelievable does not mean treating everything the contained object says as a lie, because if that means believing that the contained object will always lie, it is not difficult for the contained object to take advantage of this.Lu Ning knows that she can only follow her own feelings and judgments, and she even needs to speculate on the "psychology" of the Earthly Branches.

Containment psychology sounds a lot like some kind of black humor.

After Lu Ning landed, he smelled a mixed odor.

On the third floor below, the people imprisoned in the four prisons... can hardly be called human beings.A prisoner holding a bottle full of yellow-green liquid, festering all over his body, but still smearing the contents of the bottle on his corroded wounds is the only one here who is barely human, and the other three - one is hanging from a rope Hanging in the prison; one buried his head in a water tank, his whole body was swollen; the last one was burning all over his body.The smell here is the collection of these four prisoners who don't know whether they are dead or alive. None of the prisoners noticed Lu Ning's sudden intrusion.

However, Lu Ning didn't care whether they were human or ghosts, the chains were thrown out, and the sharp sickle immediately cut off the railings of the four prisons, and then nailed them into the bodies of each prisoner.They are alive, but they seem to be solidified and difficult to extract.

"Is that so?" Lu Ning tugged on the chain, pulled the hanged prisoner's body over, and slapped the storage module of the compressor directly on the prisoner.

After the same shattering sound, Lu Ning compressed the body and got a dark purple ball.

corpse?still alive?She let go of the chain and quickly came to the place on duty.Compared with the first two, there are a few more sheets of paper on the table here, on which are stick figure human portraits, a total of three men and one woman.The appearance of each of them can be said to be ordinary, but the appearance of the four prisoners on this floor basically cannot be seen from the original appearance, and she has no way of comparing them.

There was a crackling sound overhead, and it looked like the space there had been chiseled open again.When Lu Ning looked up, she saw a hammer, but it just hit the prisoner's own hand.

It seems... the behavior of breaking the space that she saw with her own eyes is often related to when these phantoms are hurt.

She squinted her eyes, and before the other party created more shattered spaces, she nailed the sickle into the prisoner's head, tearing him off from above.
