Returning from the abyss

Chapter 173 Hell High Speed

In the evening, Lu Ning was sitting on the balcony on the second floor of a coffee shop, with a strawberry cake and a cup of milky coffee in front of her.The taste of coffee here is not as good as that in the distribution center, but the cake is quite in line with her taste.

Opposite is a parking lot. Now when it's time to get off work, many people have hurried here to drive home. Not long after, a white car left the parking lot, and Lu Ning just happened to put the last piece of cake in his mouth.She raised her hand to call the waiter over, and instead of leaving in a hurry after paying the bill, she turned on her phone and glanced at the signal of the tracker.

It is required that the injury is serious enough to be sent to the hospital, but not fatal, so grasp the degree well.

This kind of subtle request is probably because of some complicated things behind it. Lu Ning is not particularly interested in it, but just investigates it when it happens.

The car was parked in the villa area in the southwest of the city, and Lu Ning went there and found that the security here was quite strict, probably because she was worried that someone would plot the wealth of the residents here.Even if the patrolling guards are not included, there are eight security guards at the gate alone.

But this is not a big problem. On the way here, Lu Ning has already searched for information about this villa area. She walked to the door and looked around, and asked the security guard directly: "May I ask if there are still three unsold buildings here?" villa?"

"Huh? I heard it is...you have to go to a sales company or a real estate agent. There are no direct sales here..." Lu Ning interrupted the security guard before he could finish speaking.

"Of course I know. I read the advertisement saying that there are hypes like natural oxygen bar, transportation hub, etc. Before going, I should come to the field to inspect it—what? Is it not allowed here?"

"Uh..." This involves the blind spot of the big security guards. Generally speaking, the real estate company brings them to see the houses, but it seems reasonable for people like Lu Ning to come and see the advertisements in advance.

"It seems that your rules are quite strict."

Seeing this, Lu Ning immediately gave a step up.

"Well then, there are quite a few of you here anyway, and one of you can go in with me to check out the room, so it's no problem, right?"

The security guards thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Lu Ning walked around the community along the various passages in the community, and naturally stopped at the three unsold buildings during the period, probably showing some dissatisfaction in a pretentious manner, and then returned with the security guards. the door.Of course, the home of the target was not missed on this route.

"Thank you very much."

After thanking her, Lu Ning took a taxi and quickly left the villa area.

Today's stepping point has been completed, and she can do it at any time. The only thing that makes her hesitate now is the uncertain casualty situation.

This is a question that still makes Lu Ning worry about her actions. Although it is not enough to hinder her, she is not sure whether she will cross that line in the future.

Just like that, she returned home, took a shower, and came to the computer.

Avoid death - this is another task that is a bit special.

Her own secrets did not include the pursuit of other tourists, so it was inferred that the risk of death did not necessarily come from other tourists.And it is intriguing that there are still times marked in the back. After ten deaths, is it enough to avoid the crisis of death ten times, or to completely eliminate the root cause of death?
Lu Ning walked the streets in a stately manner for a whole day today, but she was still not attacked, which already made her have some guesses.

Just then, the phone in the room rang.

"Lu Ning! Where did you go today?"

A somewhat impatient female voice came from the phone.

"I went out to play for a day, and I didn't give you my mobile phone number?"

"I asked the monitor to check the address book! You left a home phone number! Forget it anyway, just get through. The monitor said that a team of specially hired teachers will take over our elite class when the school starts the day after tomorrow. He needs to pay a class fee to buy some gifts for the teachers. .”

"Yes, how much?"

"Yes? One hundred per person! Why does it cost so much to buy things for the teacher? This month's monthly exam is coming soon, and I have already spent all my pocket money buying review materials!"

"For a legitimate reason, ask your parents for it."

"My dad has long been dissatisfied with the class fee and giving gifts to the teacher. What's more, it's a temporary addition this time. My mother doesn't care about the money. If she has some money, she will either lose it for gambling or buy cosmetics. What do you want?"

Although the other party complained in her tone, Lu Ning had vaguely understood the meaning of her words.

"Then I'll put it on for you first."

"Wow! I knew you were my best friend! Thanks, I'll give you my pocket money back next month."

"Well, there is something else, I'll hang up first."

"Bye~"

Lu Ning hung up the phone, was silent for a moment, took out her phone and opened the address book.

The address book is very concise. There are only five local contacts held by this identity, the principal, the class teacher, the apartment rental company, the bank card contact number, and the mother.The newly added Jiangshan Network was acquainted by herself.

And everyone is called by occupation or function, and there is no name.After Lu Ning noticed this, she immediately changed Jiang Shanlu's name to an aerobics coach.

She didn't forget that not only was there an external crisis this time, but also some problems with the identity itself needed to be investigated.

But before that...

"Let's solve the problem at hand first."

HELLSPEED's web forum opened again, Lu Ning cut into her task interface, looked at the sky outside, and pressed the button of the phone to send a signal.

In the distance, in the restaurant of the shopping center, the hustle and bustle of the day made today's visitors a little deserted. The boss saw that the chefs were also a little absent-minded, so he put up the morning shift and put up a sign that said it was closed today.So no one noticed that a black particle on the gas pipeline in the corner of the restaurant's kitchen was automatically broken into powder, exposing the small hole that was blocked before.

It was a clear night sky full of stars.

Lu Ning looked out the window and sent a second command. This time, a particle blocking the wall of the water pipe shattered automatically. The water inside slowly flowed down the wall under the action of water pressure, while the water directly below The location is the socket that the kitchen appliances are connected to.

The explosion happened after a delay of about 15 minutes. The intense flame even penetrated the glass curtain wall of the building, and flames spewed out in the air near the third floor. vibration.Soon, billows of thick smoke rose into the sky, blurring the bright starlight.

Soon, Lu Ning saw [task completed] displayed on the interface for claiming the task, and at the same time, there was a payment notification in the account.

"So that's the case...it's really troublesome..."

Lu Ning grunted dissatisfiedly, and closed the curtains. There were already piercing sounds of fire alarms and ambulance sirens outside. Although the degree of the explosion seemed astonishing, in fact, no one could die unless it exploded. The entire restaurant It's just ruined.

She spent the rest of the night studying the weapon called "Sword Chariot".

This weapon that fits the arm can be described as a superior weapon in terms of sophistication. By pulling the transparent thin line drawn from the wrist with your fingers, you can command the 24 thin and narrow blades inside to pop out and retract. Different gestures correspond to different swords. Blade group.For example, clenching a fist can allow the six blades on the top of the hand to pop out, not only as a punch, but also as a hand guard to parry.

In the same way, the blades on both sides of the wrist and below the wrist can also be ejected at any time, and the ejection force is enough to directly penetrate the human skin within zero distance and damage the internal organs.

Because of this, this weapon is not particularly easy to use, because even with the outer frame of the sword chariot, the blade still has a certain possibility of injuring one's hand, so in addition to a locking safety device, there is also a It is specially reminded that this weapon is not suitable for people who like to apply poison.

Lu Ning found a band-aid from the drawer and stuck it on the wounds that were accidentally scraped during the experiment. She made up her mind to find a store to buy a pair of nail leather gloves tomorrow.

======================
"Friends from the audience, this is City News Express. I am reporter Chang Zibin. At about [-]:[-] this evening, an explosion occurred in the Yunguang Shopping Center in this city. It is located in a restaurant on the south side of the third floor. There was a gas explosion, and now we have come to the scene, we can see that the firefighters have contained the fire, and the scene has been brought under control, now we are interviewing the people at the scene."

A man dressed as a reporter came downstairs with a camera team and started recording urgently.After the man finished his opening remarks, he immediately found a medical staff next to him.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from City News Express. What's the situation of the explosion? Has anyone died? Has the cause of the explosion been found out?"

"The cause of the explosion is still unknown. The fire brigade has put out the fire. It should be a gas leak. Fortunately, there are no people in the restaurant where the explosion occurred due to some problems, and the staff have already left work. No deaths were caused. Many people were cut by the glass, or their eardrums were injured by shock." The medical staff were obviously prepared, and immediately agreed to a set of rhetoric.

"Then do you think this was an accident or someone's deliberate revenge?"

"I don't know. We are only here to treat the wounded. It has nothing to do with us to find out the reason."

"Okay, thank you. We will continue to follow up and report, please continue to pay attention to our column."

After Chang Zibin finished speaking, the cameraman understood and ended the filming, and he was relieved.

"Who on earth did such a thing at night..."

"Haha, Brother Chang, isn't that what journalists do?"

"You boys, can you rest when I come out to work? Come on, go in, I'll go to the toilet first, this cold spring weather really freezes out the urine at night..." Chang Zibin scolded a few people with a smile, and waved He led people into the shopping mall, and then walked into the toilet alone.

Sitting on the toilet, he immediately took out his mobile phone and called someone. Soon, a sweet voice came from the opposite side:

"Hello~Chang Zibin?"

"Miss, I have already arrived at the scene. As a reporter, I guess I will be able to walk into the fire soon."

"Well, it really is a trustworthy good partner."

Chang Zibin was shocked by the other party's voice.

"Miss, can we talk normally?"

"That can't be done. I'm here with Rosers now, and this old guy just likes it... His identity is a collector, and he has a very wide network. I need to borrow his influence." The woman on the opposite side He giggled, "By the way, I just saw that the task of burning down the restaurant in the forum is gone, I'm afraid someone did it on purpose, maybe it was a tourist too? You can look for any clues that you missed... um , that old thing has finished taking a shower, I still have to deal with him, so hang up first."

"That... miss, take it easy, don't kill me..."

"You still can't believe me? Don't worry, he will be very useful for a while."

Then, the phone changed to a busy tone.

The corner of Chang Zibin's mouth twitched. Of course he understood the essence of the woman on the other side of the phone, that is, a blood-sucking vine, a demon that would never let go until it drained the value of others.The most terrifying thing is that she can completely cater to the target's preferences and dress up in different ways to attract the other party. Who knows why a noble lady from a big family is good at these things.

But Chang Zibin has been rescued by the opponent many times since the first level, and the small group he formed after that really made him feel a strong warmth-different from many teams formed because of weakness, everyone in this team is Reliable and powerful companions, even promoted to the second tier by helping each other.

As one of the three souls of the team, Chang Zibin and others usually use the title "Miss" to express their respect for her, but they will not forget her real name.

——"My name is Zhao Xihua, you're a bit interesting, follow me first."

=================
As the night darkened, the strangers who had just arrived in the city gradually settled down.A lone traveler like Lu Ning is not particularly conspicuous among them, at least no one disturbs her peaceful sleep tonight.

On the Hell Highway Forum, however, a batch of mission completion peaks were ushered in.At least for most tourists, those low-level tasks are not particularly difficult to complete, not to mention the conditions of the background of Sin City, which makes some people feel like a fish in water.

Therefore, when Lu Ning woke up the next day, the news of the explosion in the shopping mall last night had already been overshadowed by some more shocking news.The first three are undoubtedly worth noting.

[The three banking systems were hacked, and the financial security system was questioned by depositors. 】

【White Butterfly Killer commits another crime, this time the victims are three high school students. 】

[The head of the gang leader was cut off in the middle of the night, and the arrest warrant has been issued. 】

Although none of them are displayed in an eye-catching way such as an exclamation point, the fact that three messages can be pinned to the top of the news page is enough to show how much weight they have.

The hacking of the banking system is probably because someone is looking for information, and the bank statement flow can reflect the past of many people.The gang leader was probably also a tourist who completed the task, because Lu Ning vaguely remembered that there was a very similar task on HELLSPEED.

The White Butterfly Killer is still a notorious serial murderer in Vice City.

Lu Ning made a random breakfast and began to search for news about the murderer.
