Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1256 Choose one of the two

The green stars closed their eyes, and the third section of the stairs to the stars appeared, and then disappeared into the sky.

Lu Ning saw the disappearance of this ritual from a distance. She didn't know what trick Kukash had done, but she knew who was the person who became the material of the ritual this time. When the brilliance of the sun crossed the plain, she could naturally see it.

But that brilliance cannot defeat Jun Ying. Lu Ning knew very well that Kukash was using Jun Ying to complete his journey to the stars, but she didn't know why Jun Ying wanted to cooperate with him.

The fourth person...Kukash must have chosen the fourth person. If he completes the stage of ascending to the stars, Lu Ning really has no confidence that he can defeat him.

"I'm really crazy. Why are I still thinking about how to defeat an instructor at this time?"

Lu Ning patted her head and reflected on whether she was too inflated? Although she wanted to target Kukash, she had not thought of acting alone like this. At least she had to involve everyone, right?

"Go to Lingri first."

She did not choose to return to Chen Geng. At this moment, there must be some chaos in Shenghui City. Her appearance at this moment can only cause more chaos.

The stars were once again arranged in the palm of her hand, and the passage of space opened in front of her. In just one breath, she was already above the transiting sun.

In an instant, she saw thousands of turrets on the ground turning at the same time, aiming at her appearing in the air.

"Uh……"

Fortunately those turrets didn't fire.

A winged woman flew up from below, until she was level with Lu Ning, crossed her arms, and looked slightly dissatisfied: "How did you appear directly from here?"

"You are... Fiona."

Lu Ning did not have much communication with Lewanska, the last member of the group, and only met her occasionally during the exchanges between the two organizations. She didn't understand her, but since Lewanska trusted this teammate, she thought it was okay.

"Feel sorry."

"...Okay, you have to be careful. Now is the period of proliferation of the Glory Silhouette. Any thing that suddenly appears will be immediately focused on fire. Those turrets are the 'heterotopic penetration cannons' designed by Christine. Even if you Even if you can hide in the gaps in space, you can’t avoid it.”

"Did it knock down the airport that appeared in the sky before?"

"Yes, three volleys."

Fiona is obviously proud of these things. However, she did not introduce too much, and took Lu Ning into Lingri City, which had been completely converted into a battle fortress, and found Lewanska in the command room.

"Lu Ning?"

"Lewanska, I'm back, Christine should inform you."

"I know, but I didn't expect you to come to me first." Lewanska said.

"Although I walked for a long time this time, I still remember our purpose. We are not here to find any secrets, or just rush to the door to scold that Jingshen. What is our plan? Ultimately, to solve the world's problems. plan of?"

"What makes you so anxious, Lu Ning?" Lewanska folded a document in her hand and placed it on the table, "Is it that... the Star Climb?"

"Yes, it makes me feel anxious. Lewanska, among the people I consider enemies, only this Kukash, I can't think of a good way to kill him, even if he has not yet completed the climb of the ladder ”

Lewanska stared at Lu Ning for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Lu Ning, have you never fought against enemies chasing rituals and promotions like this?"

"I currently can't tell the difference between him and the people in some scenes I met." Lu Ning crossed her arms, "It's just that he did make me feel dangerous."

"That's right, Lu Ning. Because the ritual itself is very dangerous." Lewanska poured a glass of water for Lu Ning, "There is still time, I can tell you a little bit about Kukash."

"How did you know?"

"In the past six months, we have had many technical cooperations with Chen Geng, and we have also had certain exchanges with your two instructors. They shared with us some things we want to know, including the possibility of Kukash. Sex. There are some small history classes in the distribution center, but it also allows us to learn some things that we couldn’t learn at the fourth level.”

"Okay, I'm all ears."

Lewanska nodded.

"Rituals also have levels. The ritual of ascending to the star has surpassed the levels we can normally master. Even people like Christine cannot easily deconstruct the components of that ritual. I know the Death Star, this I am afraid that only a few tourists can break through the elaborate rituals of the former rulers.”

Lu Ning also knew this.

"On this basis, what we need to consider is not killing the executor of the ritual, because it cannot be done. We have assessed that the difficulty of this matter may not be much different than solving the Jingshen problem. Ku Cash is not a tourist with nothing to gain.”

"Then your idea is not to solve it yet?" Lu Ning finally understood something.

"Compared to the disasters facing the world, Kukash has a clear purpose, Lu Ning. A person who is difficult for us to deal with and who does not affect us at the moment should not put the most important thing now. All the energy is on him.”

Lu Ning frowned and looked at Lewanska.

"I can hear that you are trying to speak in a tactful tone. I want to know if this is your opinion or the opinion of the four of you?"

"It's ours." Lewanska said, "If you want to be more clear, Fiona and I both have the same opinion. It doesn't matter which one Christine focuses on, but she is focused on Jingshen now, and The only one who remained dissenting was Humphrey."

Lu Ning was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the gloomy-looking person was the only one who had different opinions.

"Humphrey believes that anything that may pose a threat to survival needs to be eliminated as much as possible, even with the help of more external forces. Kukash has already shown a violent character in the Dragon Trail Islands. Such a person will complete the ritual and deal with it. There will be a serious instability factor in the future.”

"He's right."

"But for us, if we can really find a way to solve Jingshen, then why can't we solve him? At most, he is just a problem on the same level as Jingshen, Christine judged this, and we I think her judgment was correct.”

"It's easy for her to be overconfident because of her genius mind." Lu Ning said, "What about you? Lewanska, how about your composure and stability? You should be someone who is always ready for a backup plan, instead of abandoning someone like this. side issue."

"If it is some small problem, I will be fully prepared. But now we are facing a gamble." Lewanska said seriously, "We must bet all resources on one side, and we chose the scenery." God, that's it." "Then how are you going to target Jingshen?" Lu Ning suddenly changed the question.

"Christine has put a Genesis magic on the place you found, and now we are studying specific methods to dissolve that shell. As for Jingshen's body, we are considering using the activation effect to make it from the universe as a whole. If we can do that, we have the potential to kill it.”

"……possibility."

"Yes, Lu Ning, we can only pursue one possibility with all our methods. After all, we don't have an instructor."

"I see. Lewanska, you... have reached the limit." Lu Ning picked up the water glass on the table and turned it around gently in her hand.

Lewanska smiled bitterly.

"For you, this must be something you are very unwilling to admit. After all, you are all elites in the fourth level. Even if you come to the fifth level, you are no worse than the old tourists of the fifth level. That kind of...confidence?"

"But we found that the gap between ourselves and the instructors is very obvious." Lewanska said, "We also admit this, even if we are not compared with your two instructors, we cannot compare with Kukash's skills. The fifth-level tourists have been studying and studying in the distribution center for much longer than us. The accumulation during this time is no longer something that can be caught up simply by relying on talent. "

Lu Ning nodded and drank all the water in the cup.

"Then, if there is any progress in the plan, remember to keep me informed."

She put the water glass on the table.

"But Lewanska... I'm not bringing it up again. I just think that if Karl were sitting here, he might have a different point of view than you."

"It will definitely be different. That guy's passion and sense of justice have not faded with age at all."

"Really? Okay."

Lu Ning looked into Lewanska's eyes. His eyes did not waver at all, as if he knew that Lu Ning had this question.

"Now I know your determination."

She walked out the door.

Lewanska is right. They have chosen the most difficult problem and are using all the resources they can mobilize to try to overcome it. They do not have the resources and energy to solve another problem that is equally difficult to solve but has not yet exploded. .

Perhaps only Lu Ning, who has seen the complete Star Climb, knows how much potential threat Kukash poses. But on the other hand, Lu Ning herself is not sure that Kukash will complete the Star Climb. How much impact can it have on the world in the future? Tourists... who is here to destroy the world?

"...Are you hesitant?"

A hoarse voice came from a dark corner. Lu Ning turned around and saw Humphrey standing in the shadows, with only the modified part of his arm emitting a little fluorescent light.

"Why are you here?"

"I know about your sudden appearance. Just ask Fiona. Ha, have you seen Lewanska?"

"Yes."

"I guess his answer wasn't what you expected." Humphrey grinned, "Just like I did back then."

"Lewanska made the right decision."

Humphrey snorted coldly: "If there is really something wrong, I won't stand here. They are all very wise people. Reason tells us that solving Jingshen's problem first is the most important thing. This is also In the end I agreed.”

"You definitely didn't find me here to express your agreement with the plan. Tell me, what do you want to do with me? Or, is there anything else you want to do but can't do?"

"Let's talk somewhere else."

Humphrey took Lu Ning into a reception room. He sat down on his seat and let out a sigh of relief. Only then did Lu Ning notice that this man's hair had become a lot grayer, and his expression was much more tired. Compared with the first time he saw him, he was obviously much older.

It stands to reason that tourists should not age so easily unless they really work hard.

"Due to personal experience, I have a natural distrust of solutions that focus on solving one major problem while temporarily shelving another problem." Humphrey said, "From the first time in my life At the end of my experience at the distribution center, similar situations happened many times, and every time, the problem we put aside was not solved in the end. "

"Are you worried about this?"

"No, Lu Ning, how can we say that we are grudges? It should be said that we are unforgettable. Who can forget his own death?" Humphrey grinned, "So I will do whatever it takes to do many things, just for the sake of it." When encountering such a situation, I don’t have to choose one, but do them all - but you see, until now, I haven’t had the capital to jump out.”

"You still want to solve the Kukash problem."

"Lewanska is steady and thoughtful, Fiona is sharp but has a good heart. As for Christine, you can also see that she is a genius, but also quite naive, compared to the environment of the distribution center."

"So you think it's just you?"

"Absolutely. From the first time I saw Kukash and Mochamo, I knew that these two guys are quite rubbish. They are the kind of bastards who are rotten even in their pursuit. If it weren't for their lack of strength, I would They all want to kill them first."

"You don't have that ability, and neither do we now."

"But the problem is already imminent. The slaves on the Dragon Trail Islands are now gone. They have become tools used by those two people to pursue their own paths. That number...I don't know how many there are later, but thousands I'm afraid there are others. As for Kane Fortress, you know better than me how many people there have suffered from their abuse."

"You think that when he steps up to the stars, he will only hurt more people."

"Isn't this certain? In order to take a step forward, thousands of people can be sacrificed. In order to take a step forward, an entire fortress can be sacrificed. Once he has passed this ritual, do you think he will let more people go in the next step? More life sacrifices? Or do you think that as this ritual progresses, no one will need to die anymore? "

"You still want to do this."

"Let's find a way to kill him, Lu Ning, you have defeated Mocha Mo, then it is not impossible to defeat an instructor." Humphrey smiled coldly, "I will help you."
