Returning from the abyss

Chapter 119 Falling into a Dream - End of the Intermission
The low difficulty of the first level is not divided according to strength.

Whether there are rules to follow, the time to react and resist after encountering danger, and the length of time to prepare, etc.These conditions are the basis for class distinctions.Shu Xingruo's question was indeed on point.

"We all hope that it is applicable, but... this information can't be found anywhere."

"We can summarize it through a lot of examples." Lu Ning said, "I know a librarian. She has read many tourists' stories. I think she should be able to know whether to obey."

"...Although it's a good idea, it's not necessary."

Cheng Wuling shook his head and said.

"Even if we know it's not the case, probability is of little value. Obtaining information from other sources is a common law in many cases, and even if we are unlucky and encounter something that does not match, should we give up on the spot?"

"will not."

Everyone knows the difficulty of the step-up test. If you go with the mentality of giving up, the chance of passing it will become even slimmer.No matter what kind of thorns are ahead, you have to bite the bullet and go for it.

"Because of this, all the discussions we've had so far have been 'countermeasures' rather than 'preventive measures' because of the utter unpredictability."

=====================
For the rest of the time, Lu Ning spent almost all of her time in the library reading previous files, including some past records that could be consulted at her level.

As mentioned before, there will be multiple mission scenes in the distribution center at the same time or at a slightly staggered time. When a batch of scenes are used, their records will be stored in the warehouse, and the scenes will never be used again.

Yang Shuyu's help reduced Lu Ning's time looking for books, and the two became friends who could talk and talk in the process, even though this friendship could only last for eight days.

On the last day, Lu Ning closed the thick book in her hand, and chatted with Yang Shuyu about each other's life experiences.

"How did you come here?"

"suicide."

Yang Shuyu said with a smile.

The small reading room is so quiet that you can hear a needle drop on the ground.

"The pain caused by hyperamnesia is not something I can bear. If a person cannot accept the memory by choice, it feels like he is just a living camera. I can't bear it, so I choose self-termination. "

But that doesn't mean you're no longer attached to that world.

"That's right, what I 'photographed' at that time included all kinds of ugliness, but also the most beautiful and magnificent scenery in the world. If I just had a good memory and could choose to go back there without forgetting, I would definitely go back — that’s why I was able to have a second chance.”

As Yang Shuyu spoke, the corners of his eyes began to moisten.

This good wish was finally placed under the horror in front of him.

"In the first scene, I was so scared that I didn't even know who I was, and then I used my memory to find the way back from the midnight forest... However, I gave up trying to solve the mystery and the result was a poor score. From that moment on, I knew I would never go back."

Feeling bewildered, she stretched out her hand and pressed on the closed file that Lu Ning had closed.

"Sometimes I envy you all, courage... This is a word that many people can't say and can't do. The changes in written records and personal experience are completely different. I have been here for 11 years, which means that I have experienced 22 testing grounds, which is more than many people here, but I have watched countless people leave. But still here."

"Then, are you really happy like this now?" Lu Ning couldn't help asking, "You should still miss that place..."

Just like me.

"I think about it every day."

Tears flowed from Yang Shuyu's eyes.

"The mountains and rivers in my hometown, the vegetation and insects in summer, the red plums in the snow in the midwinter, the expectations my grandparents have for me, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that will appear on the table every time I go home..."

Her voice was getting lower and lower.

"But I don't have the courage to challenge the test field, let alone the promotion test. At least I can still remember the appearance of my hometown, remember everyone's face, and enjoy the illusory happiness in my memory. And died , there is nothing left."

The galaxy in the distance gradually appeared, and the daylight also began to reduce the brightness.The lights on the street were lit up sequentially, entering a state of brilliant lights ahead of time.

"I'm fine now."

Lu Ning stood up slowly, took out her phone and glanced at the time.

【04:13:25】

Time to go back.

"Are you leaving?"

Yang Shuyu also saw Lu Ning watching the time, so he wiped away his tears and stood up.

Lu Ning nodded and smiled at her.

"Thank you, I am very happy these days, and it is an unexpected luck to meet a friend at the last time."

"You will be as successful as many people I have met. You have the same temperament as them." Yang Shuyu also laughed, and began to tidy up the books on the table.

"Then, goodbye..."

"It's best not to see." Yang Shuyu corrected.

"Ah."

Lu Ning walked out of the library and stepped onto the street that had been repainted by the lights.

Yang Shuyu chose his own way of life, and Lu Ning also had his own way to go.

After this acquaintance, we will never see each other again.Just like the many people I have seen in various testing grounds.

——"If you go back, you must go to the place where my house is!"

Suddenly there was a shout from behind.

Lu Ning turned her head and saw Yang Shuyu waving to her, showing a bright smile that she had never seen before.

"That mountain is called Yangcha Mountain! At the foot of the mountain is Baiyang Town! Our ancestors have grown together with poplar trees! If we come from the same world, you must go there and see!"

Chashan Meihai, Zhaoyang and Muwu.

Lu Ning knew that Yang Shuyu was good at painting, and she once showed her a hand-painted image of her hometown.

Unfortunately, in Lu Ning's short life, she has never had the opportunity to see such a place.

=====================
"Is everything ready to be prepared?"

Since they can sleep anywhere, of course the four of them choose the familiar dormitory.

Shu Xingruo took out a custom-made suit from the clothing store, and changed into the sportswear on his body.The clothes of that era looked a little old-fashioned, at least for Shu Xingruo's body and appearance, it was a bit rustic.

Well, in fact, it was specifically requested to be made like this.

Since she didn't know what kind of clothes fit that era, she was sure to find a store. What Lu Ning finally got was a khaki coat with many pockets, a dark blue plaid shirt, a pair of sturdy hiking trousers, and a pair of hiking boots. He also wore a wide-brimmed round hat and a small flashlight strapped to his head.

Cheng Wuling and Su Zhilan's clothes are similar, white shirt and black waistcoat, extremely slim attire, the difference is that Cheng Wuling actually chose a black suit, trousers and leather shoes, which is inconvenient for movement, while Su Zhilan honestly wore a trumpet pants.

"I think everyone is ready?"

After changing clothes, Cheng Wuling finally buttoned the cuffs and neckline, and even put on an unmarked watch. After asking everyone, she fell straight on the bed.

"...Did you have any conjectures that you didn't tell us?" Shu Xingruo asked suspiciously when she saw her clothes that looked like she was going to work in a company.

"Clothing may have something to do with identity, but it's just a verification, so don't pay too much attention to it."

"Then don't wait until the end to talk about it!"

Su Zhilan complained, climbed onto the bed and lay down.

"So……"

"Falling early to prevent being late?"

"Haha, that's the reason, see you in the scene, good night."

The light was turned off by Lu Ning, and she climbed onto the bed in the dark. The thick curtains blocked all the light outside, and the whole room was pitch black.

She seemed to be able to hear the rapid beating of her own heart.

Finally at this moment, it's like the candidate's mood when he is about to enter the examination room, but he doesn't know when he will take the exam.

"Good night."

Lu Ning said in a low voice, and lay down.

No one had the habit of snoring, even Cheng Wuling's breathing sound was extremely soft, and in the silence, Lu Ning soon fell asleep.

It was a battlefield full of gunpowder.

The battle on the front line and the command in the rear are equally uneasy.Even the warlords who hold great power and separatist regimes still cannot sleep peacefully. After all, they have to guard against spies and killers who are elusive.People in this world have embarked on the road of technological development, but at the same time they are suffering from the pain caused by this development.

During the war years, Shengdou's desire for peace was nothing but extravagant hope. It is a common occurrence that one side rules today and the other side lays down tomorrow.And every time someone captures a town, they will re-pay one side of the tax in various names.Even in places where wars are raging, things like three days and three taxes have happened.

Except for the wealthy and powerful families, life is almost precarious.People had to leave their hometowns and try to find a way of life. As a result, some returned with a sudden windfall, or some died in obscurity.

Writers are also special in this era.

Their status is not measured by cultural level, but those who are outstanding in creating public opinion and eloquence are preferred.High-level writers who can set the enemy's rear on fire with a pen are the guests of warlords.However, such people are a minority after all, and more people are still desperately looking for topics that can make a blockbuster, or secrets that interest the warlords.

That fanaticism is just like the courtiers in ancient times looking for treasures in the world and presenting them to the emperor in order to seek Qingyun official career.

Or, being able to stay away from the battlefield full of blood and death, set foot in the deep mountains and old forests that no one has heard of, and verify the folklore that may exist is the last professional quality in their hearts.

What about the fact?
