Returning from the abyss

"Technology tourists have a habit. When they have the ability to control the development of forces, they will incorporate the habits of scientific research thinking and industrial development. It is naturally very suitable to place it in a technology scene, but in a magic scene In such scenarios, it is helpful to promote social development, but it cannot be used to fight against hidden enemies of magic." Ellu said while sipping tea leisurely, "The development of magic is towards the ultimate of individuals, and it has nothing to do with technology. The directions of development are contradictory, and even if they are compatible, the two must be distinguished."

"Technological innovation has also been carried out here at Xinshu Cinema," Lu Ning said.

"Yes, but this is the basis - the two can go hand in hand." Ai Lu laughed, "For example, you are probably pursuing the improvement of personal strength, rather than how to manage and improve the strength of an entire force, right? So strictly Generally speaking, your behavior is more like magic."

"So, your development direction is mainly magic?" Lu Ning asked.

"We just chose the appropriate path based on the basic information of the scene. But as you can see, although we have promoted some technological innovations, these are just to make our follow-up actions more convenient for me and my students. Their requirements are all about improving personal abilities. Tu Laang is a very honest child, and he has never slacked off in his own training. Shen Du is not so obedient, and I can't even fully grasp the progress of his training. However, I believe that in terms of individual combat ability, none of them are worse than you." Ailu asked Bai Tuanzi to pour himself another cup of tea, "This is the difference in style. Well... Let's get back to the serious business, I will To help you convince those clans is just to agree to the phone call. Whether you can get these brainless elves to recognize you later depends on the talent of your people."

"That's good." Lu Ning said.

"In addition, since you are also a tourist pursuing personal development, we have an invitation for you." Ellu suddenly took out a wooden flute from her arms, "This invitation comes from Lyudmila, that is, Our student who is in charge of outer hunting. She has made a discovery, but she needs a companion. Whether you accept this invitation or not is up to you, I am only responsible for conveying it."

"Although I'm happy to meet that Lyudmila, why do I feel like I'm just running around taking on tasks?" Lu Ning joked, "It's not like you just push all the hard-to-handle problems to me. Shall I take care of it?"

"I don't know about that. After all, I didn't invite you." Elu said innocently, "If you agree, I will tell Lyudmila and she will go to your room to find you tomorrow morning."

"Then when will the result of my matter come out?" Lu Ning asked again.

"Well... I still have to convince those races. After all, we are still used to doing things according to the rules. It will probably be solved when you come back. Don't worry, I guarantee it with my personal morality."

However, Lu Ning didn't know Ai Lu well, and had no idea of ​​her moral character. She could only believe what the other party said and then returned to where she lived.

Early the next morning, Lu Ning was almost awakened by her intuition. She still remembered that she had just been dreaming of something vague, and suddenly she saw a pair of beast's eyes, and then she jumped up from the bed.

The moment she regained consciousness, she looked outside the room.

It's Lyudmila. This feeling is the same as when she first arrived at the edge of New Tree Studios.

She rolled out of bed, quickly changed into the travel equipment she had prepared long ago, and then opened the door. Across the street, in the shadow of the eaves, there was a motionless person leaning against the wall. Lu Ning locked the target at a glance and walked over.

The other party didn't make any movement, just looked at her with blue eyes. Lu Ning thought for a moment, then stretched out her hand: "Hello, I'm Lu Ning."

"Lyudmila." The man stretched out his hand and shook it lightly with Lu Ning before letting go. She was wearing a black mask that covered the lower half of her face, and there was no expression at all.

However, Lu Ning was used to such tourists, so she immediately continued to ask: "Now that we are ready to set off together, would you like to introduce the specific situation to me? I don't want to participate in any dangerous activities without knowing anything about it. in."

"...Hunting." Lyudmila whispered, "I need someone who is sharp enough to sweep the formation for me. I can't tell the instructor, and Shen Du doesn't like to participate in this kind of thing. Your style is very similar to mine. , I think you’ll agree.”

"So, what's in it for me?"

"I have prepared two rewards for you, you can choose one of them." Lyudmila said, "Let's talk as we go, we have a long way to go."

Lu Ning followed Lyudmila's footsteps and walked out of the New Tree Cinema area and entered the Sunset Forest.

"There are two kinds of rewards, one is within the scene, and the other is outside the scene. I can give you the rewards within the scene after completing this hunting, and the rewards outside the scene need to wait until you return to the distribution center."

"It seems that you are very confident in your own survival...but what are the things outside the scene? Those should be props obtained in some special scenes, right? Can they be transferred as gifts?" Lu Ning was a little surprised.

For example, even if her own plague is something brought back from the scene, it has been bound so that only she can use it. Even if it is lost in the scene, other tourists cannot use it. There are no restrictions on the characters in the scene.

For badges similar to those obtained by meeting certain conditions, the distribution center directly confirms the holder. The information obtained can be shared with others after use, but it cannot be given to others.

"I have a permanent emblem." Lyudmila blinked slightly, "The Disaster Ranger. It allows me to peel off things from the prey I hunt as trophies in hunting scenes, and use them as trophies. The one with the highest rank is allowed to take with him when he leaves.”

"... If you are strong, there should be quite a few restrictions." Lu Ning said.

"For tourists who hold this emblem, all scenes will be hunting scenes, and the difficulty will be increased. Each scene must be hunted, and the hunting target cannot be lower than the highest level of the hunting targets mentioned in the scene mission. Once If the hunt fails in a certain scene, the emblem will be taken away, but the above negative effects will still remain."

It is indeed not something for normal people.

"Well, you're quite unlucky." Lu Ning corrected his evaluation.

"So even if I say it, no one will want this." Lyudmila narrowed her eyes, "And I haven't experienced many scenes since I got the emblem. If you choose the reward outside the scene, I can let you You choose one of my trophies. If you choose within the scene, I will give you two hounds."

"hound?"

"They are the 'floating lanterns of deep space' and the 'fires of the past.'" Lyudmila said, "I hunted monsters from the other side of time and space, but their level was not enough. I cannot take these with me. , so I will give it to you as a reward.”

"Well, actually, there may be others who are more interested in this. For me, two more hounds will not have much effect." Lu Ning understood what Lyudmila meant, "I still choose to believe you and return to the distribution center. Let me pick a trophy later."

"Okay. This is the contract." Liudmila took out a scroll and handed it to Lu Ning, "Sign your name and conclude the agreement. The distribution center will watch us until one of the parties dies." "Then I will feel more at ease." Lu Ning took the contract, unfolded it, and after briefly browsing the contents, checked her choice and signed her name. The scroll burns and disappears, and the contract is established.

"Okay, then, let me talk about the goal this time. The thing I want to hunt should be called the incarnation of pre-civilization. It hides in the cracks of space and uses the doomsday to build a layer of barriers for itself. We need You should have the ability to go deep into the cracks in space. We will not go into the deep area this time, just go to the surface of the lens."

"Your naming method is consistent with that of another person I know. Did you all learn these names through the same channel?" Lu Ning asked.

"perhaps."

Lyudmila seemed not prepared to say more in this regard.

"The generation of this civilization is unknown. It should have been destroyed in the doomsday hyperspace lens and failed to resist the endless stream of monsters from hyperspace. In terms of the dangers brought by the unknown, hyperspace is similar to subspace. You There is no need to make any attacks, just when I am fighting, if there are cracks from the other world around me, then send me a signal immediately."

"That's all? Then someone else should be able to do it, right?"

"No one except tourists dared to go deep into the hidden world with me. My fellow tourists were also not very interested in my hunting. They all had their own methods of survival in the scene."

"It's understandable. There's another question. Didn't you bring in the trophies you obtained before? Since it is allowed by the distribution center, you can always use it to improve your combat effectiveness, right?"

"The trophies obtained cannot be directly used as weapons or equipment." Lyudmila hesitated when she said this time. "They are equivalent to raw materials, and you need to pay points to convert them into weapons. I... don't have any points."

It was hard for Lu Ning to imagine how a professional hunting tourist like her could be poor, but Lyudmila was obviously a little embarrassed by this question, so she didn't ask further.

"If you can give this thing away or sell it to a large organization, the distribution center can definitely act as a middleman." She couldn't help but give Lyudmila a suggestion.

"I just reached the fifth level..."

Oh, that's right. I just arrived at Level 5 and I don't know anyone in the big organization. With Lyudmila's somewhat boring character, I'm afraid she won't be able to find a way to sell her.

However, after chatting like this all the way, Lu Ning had some changes in her opinion of Lyudmila. She was indeed a very powerful tourist, and she was also a lone wolf with a somewhat introverted personality.

At noon, Lyudmila took out the dry food and gave Lu Ning a portion, and the two of them did not stop. There were no monsters in the Higurashi Forest that came out to attack the two of them. They were probably scared away by Lyudmila's own deterrent effect.

After walking for a while in the afternoon, Lu Ning saw the goal of this trip.

"During the war, an angel's floating fortress exploded here with a large number of demons. The explosion of the core energy furnace caused a serious impact on the folded space here, causing a natural crack to form here." Lyudmila Pointing to an anomalous space in front of him that seemed to be just a layer of glass in the air, he said, "If you enter from here, you can go directly through the ruins and enter the membrane world. It can shorten the journey a lot."

"There is actually a place where you can directly enter in reality..." Lu Ning sighed with emotion.

"Get ready and follow me."

Lyudmila said, taking off a small bottle from her waist, unscrewing the cap and pouring half of the contents into the bottle and handing it to Lu Ning.

Lu Ning smelled the smell of alcohol and shook her head: "I don't drink, and you are about to hunt, is it appropriate?"

"Always offer a toast at the funeral to the soul that deserves to rest in peace." Lyudmila said, drinking the remaining wine in the bottle. "It will be good for you."

Lu Ning hesitated for a moment, then took it and drank it. The spicy smell of alcohol choked her, but immediately a warm current rose up her back, and she felt the warm sunshine in her spirit for the first time.

"This...is unusual."

"As long as you like it. Let's go."

Lyudmila took one step forward and merged into the "glass".

As Lu Ning followed, she also felt the wonderful effects of the wine. When a normal person walks into the ruins, there will be a cognitive change, but this time after the two of them walked into the hidden space, their bodies did not change at all.

Although Lu Ning can still fight even if his body undergoes cognitive changes, it is of course better to be able to use his original body.

With Lyudmila leading the way, the two entered the film world directly.

Lu Ning finally felt the abnormality of the membrane world when she was in a normal world cognition. All buildings in this world have a sense of three-dimensional structural distortion. When viewed from the front, they are still in a normal state. But as soon as the angle starts to deviate, everything starts to become flat, but it is not really the only one. a plane.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ning felt the heat.

She saw two suns in the sky, but they were much larger than the original world. The heat they brought was very real, but Lu Ning knew that this was just a record saved in the world, and there was no real one. The sun shines down. Sure enough, as she walked through an angle, the light returned to dimness.

"From the membrane world to the lens surface, you need to find the edge of the world and then go up." Lyudmila said, "Although it sounds simple, in this world, finding the direction is not so easy."

"You can almost feel it." Lu Ning nodded. She had directly thrown her spirit in before, and the only two times her body entered was adapted to the cognitive entry here, so she didn't know how it could be considered normal after the cognitive normal came in. And Lyudmila was obviously more familiar with this place, so there would be no problem as long as she followed her.
