Returning from the abyss

Chapter 202 Background of "The Doctor"
After the two took the pill, Luke suddenly stuck out his tongue, and then smacked his lips.

"This thing is so unpalatable."

"Considering that you have to eat it yourself, why don't you adjust the taste in advance?" Lu Ning snorted softly.

"I'll pay attention next time. Look, are we both okay? I'll just say we're both very lucky... pick two more, please?"

Lu Ning took out two with a face full of reluctance, weighed them in her hand, then put one back and took out another one, pushed the one in her hand to Luke, and took the newly taken out one by herself. .

Seeing this scene, Luke couldn't help laughing. He took the pill and said, "This pill is indeed a little different in weight because it is lumped together, but it doesn't mean that the weight of the pill can distinguish poisonous from non-toxic. Otherwise, why would I let you choose?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Lu Ning directly threw the pill into her mouth.

Luke shook his head, took his own pill as well, waited for half a minute, and gestured with his hand: "Look, isn't it all right if I take this one?"

Lu Ning stared at his face for a long time, but she didn't wait for the poisonous hair to appear, so she turned her gaze back to the bottle.

In the third round, there are still six non-toxic and ten poisonous ones in it, and the chance of being poisoned is already very high now.

"What is it that drives you to act according to your identity? After all, even if we give up, it is not necessarily a dead end." Lu Ning couldn't help asking.

"Are you a rookie? Or do you score high in every game?" Luke asked after thinking about it.

"Newbie."

"It's amazing. Compared to you, I've been at the second level for a long time." He reached out his hand to signal Lu Ning to continue taking the medicine, "I have gone through many tasks and even challenged to upgrade twice, but the upgrade failed It puts a lot of burden on me, and soul pollution also needs to earn a lot of points to cleanse, so I am not willing to give up options."

"Pollution?"

"This is probably a very important reason. Although I know it seems to be the case, my soul is already very weak... I think this may be the effect of cracking, although I will not be completely replaced by this killer's personality , but it is unavoidable to be affected by it." Luke said.

Lu Ning threw the newly selected pill to him, but she was not in a hurry to take the pill herself, but waited for Luke to continue talking.

"When we choose to ascend to the second level, there is no way out. The result of staying here is a vicious circle. Although the distribution center will provide many thoughtful services, they are not charities after all." Luke Putting the pill in his mouth and swallowing it without chewing, his expression changed instantly.

Just as Lu Ning was about to eat, she stopped when she saw the change in his face.

Luke hurriedly got up and poured a glass of water down it, heaved a sigh of relief, coughed twice, and said with some discomfort: "Damn...why is this pill so big? It almost choked me to death!"

"..."

Lu Ning was speechless, and put her own one into her mouth.

Still nothing this round.

"Now I'm almost sure that there is nothing wrong with my luck, and your luck is also very strong——Lu Ning, if you can leave alive, you can keep upgrading until you get the chance to be resurrected." Luke said slowly After a while, he sat back to his original position, and looked at Lu Ning more cautiously.

"Then let this game end here."

"No, if I can beat you, maybe I can inherit your luck, and pass the next step-up test so smoothly... Please choose the next pill." Luke's eyes were a little red from coughing , but his expression has become more and more excited, but he is suppressing it forcibly.

"My father died like this too, right? You forced him to play a game of luck, but luck lost to you. His gunshot wound also killed himself with a gun, so you guys are playing Russian roulette?"

Lu Ning took out two pills and handed one to Luke. She also raised her own and put it in her mouth, and they both took it at the same time.

"That's right, a Russian roulette loaded with five bullets." Luke nodded, "Turn it once and shoot it once, your father played it to the third round, which is almost impossible in the real world, so I said luck This kind of thing really—”

His expression changed, and he raised his hand to touch the top of his lips, where warm liquid was flowing from his nostrils.

"I... I'm still... short of... a little..."

"Poison."

Lu Ning on the opposite side pressed the fingertips of both hands together, put them on the table, and tilted her head slightly.

Not only the nostrils, but gradually, Luke's eyes and ears also began to bleed, and the corners of his mouth also began to ooze red.

"It turns out that... the distribution center... the designated strong luck... also has a limit..."

He looked at Lu Ning and actually laughed.

"You...better...so...not...shame..."

"Do you want to say that I'm luckier?" Lu Ning took the medicine bottle over and looked at it, "As I said, although luck can be included as a variable in the plan, it's not advisable to rely on it all. "

She took out three pills and threw them into her mouth like jelly beans.

Luke's eyes widened suddenly.

"This poison works quickly, but unfortunately the smell is too strong, and it's not good for assassination, and it can only be used in an environment like yours. Well, maybe there are other uses..."

"Why you……"

"Do you remember how Sherlock Holmes was sure that the pills were poisonous? Just cut up a bit and feed it to the dogs. I think I can also pick out the poisonous ones in this way and use it again. Do you think the poison can be extracted? I have to think about it. Not someone who knows about this…”

Lu Ning threw all the remaining pills into her mouth one by one, then stood up, walked up to Luke who was already limp on the table, raised her hand and pointed a thin sword from the sword cart at his temple.

"If you come up with some serious bet, I'll solve you in another way, but since it's this bet, it's okay for me to chat with you."

"I do not……"

"Ah, you didn't lose, how do I know if I took the poison before?" Lu Ning gently sent the sword chariot forward, ending Luke's life.The next moment, her wristbands clicked and fell to the ground, along with the one on Luke's wrist.

Then, she opened the cipher box, took out her identity card, took Luke's briefcase and counted the contents inside, searched Luke again, packed all the things she could take away, opened the door and left this room.

The weather outside was a bit cold, and the actions of people on the street looking for evil codes still had no intention of stopping after dark.Lu Ning left in the crowd without attracting anyone's attention.

"The ghost mother-in-law is really effective... It seems that I have to make up for the hexagram gold again."

Lu Ning returned to the tenth district, the black market has been closed at this moment, and there are only a group of evil code seekers left inside.But after Lu Ning knew that there was special information on HELLSPEED, she was not optimistic about these people at all.

She quickly walked to the candle shop, and Guo Mengcoon quickly closed the door after entering, and then asked her: "How is it?"

"I got some information, but it's a pity that the person who opened the door didn't see it...Why are you looking at me like that? I will definitely not leave tomorrow." Lu Ning turned her head and caught a glimpse of Guo Mengcoon's strange eyes.

"No...it just feels a little weird..." Guo Mengcoon turned his head to one side.

Lu Ning just released her soul from the paper figurine and re-condensed her body.She glanced at the paper figurine tied up according to her disguised appearance, and she knew what was wrong with Guo Mengcoon.

"Remove this paper figurine, there should be some things inside...can you clean it out? I ate something today just to pretend."

"oh oh."

"What about my body?"

"In the cabinet, you can move it yourself. I'll take care of this paper figurine." Guo Mengcoon hurriedly carried the paper figurine to the back of the shop.

Lu Ning took out some of Luke's belongings from the briefcase.

His personal consumption credit card still has a huge credit limit, plus some other special membership cards and savings cards, the money problem has been completely solved.Lu Ning found the password from a palm-sized pad, along with Luke's last words-like notes.

【I'm going to meet with Lu Ying today, and I will use the method that this identity should have to complete the game, so it should be enough.Or be killed, then I have no complaints, after all, I can't help myself.But what I'm not reconciled to is, as a person who wants to be resurrected, I will be affected by a manic killer. Am I not qualified?I must give up in my heart...]

Lu Ning turned over this page, but behind it was a record earlier in time.

[I met Dr. D and understood his ability.Under that kind of fear, I succumbed... I became an agent, but I didn't know what this was an agent at all, but at least I could go to a part of the industry managed by Dr. D at will.I saw the real him—the core of Dr. D, although I only peeped from a distance, but I'm sure.

There are 23 of them in total, including the core.It's not the ability to clone or transform, it's 23 individuals with independent thinking ability, but they are commanded by a core.The underground Colosseum in District [-], that's where I saw him, and the other exit of the Colosseum should be in District [-], otherwise I could at least track his departure.

Although his abilities are powerful, he doesn't seem to have the means to monitor the whole area. I'm very lucky... as always. 】

"Four districts?"

Lu Ning really didn't expect it to be there.

But in this way, I'm afraid that the intern who fled to the fourth district was not hunted down because it was still under Dr. D's control, so there was no need to continue chasing him.But in this way, what did the managers of the four districts do?Can he still watch Dr. D reach into his territory with peace of mind?
"what is this?"

Guo Mengcoon had already finished his work, and he was carrying two bags in his hand, one of which was filled with swords and chariots and other weapons that Lu Ning carried with him, and the other was filled with sixteen pills. The paper figurine had been destroyed. Lu Ning said not to leave too much information.

"Thank you, this is the information about the doctor that Luke found for me."

Lu Ning showed Guo Mengcoon the following page.

"This is... has he also met Dr.D?"

"I'm afraid the investigation is too in-depth?"

"Surrogates? What does that mean? There are 23 more...there are fewer doctors than I thought."

"If there is no accident, he should have met someone who specializes in this direction, such as... Dread." Lu Ning glanced at the above description, "Since doctors are a single-core leadership group, the core is probably Dominance Something like that? A complex with multiple abilities? It's also a troublesome opponent..."

"Can we really destroy this kind of enemy?" Guo Mengcoon was already a little skeptical.

"As the lowest level of materialism among the ten evil virtues, the corresponding Dr. D should not be very strong. In fact, it is similar to what I expected." Lu Ning didn't think so.

"Not very strong?"

"Of course we are not comparable in terms of strength, but the situation is much better than I thought. 23 people have at most 23 abilities, and since so many people are single-minded but still can only occupy the position of one district, at least it shows that he cannot directly fight against others. Members of the board of directors. The fourth district...is a bit strange, I have to investigate in two days, and also find out the situation of the managers there. "

"It's a good thing you can still maintain such enthusiasm..." Guo Mengcoon said in admiration.

"Because the speed of advancement was too slow, I lost everything once." Lu Ning put all the things into the pockets of her original body, and then returned her soul.

"Are you leaving? It's really busy."

"If you don't work hard, you will die."

Lu Ning waved her hand.

She has something else to do tonight.

The third district, the territory of Moura Jianuo, the reward she promised.

But this time, Lu Ning was finally able to enter the interior of the orphanage.

The interior of the huge building like a castle is also full of retro aristocratic beauty.A row of lights in the shape of torches guided Lu Ning into Mo La's huge living room—it was a huge hall like meeting a king.

Maura sat on a stone chair, the fur under her body stretched to the bottom of the steps, and a glass ball was placed in a groove in the armrest of the stone chair beside her, and a human head was soaked in liquid.

That face rushed towards Lu Ning with a wild and ferocious expression this morning.

"You think about things pretty fast."

Mo La slowly caressed the surface of the glass, she could see that she was very happy, and even her tone of voice was slightly raised.

"Yes, I'm here to ask you for the reward you promised."

"Go ahead."

"But before that, as your agent, can you tell me the code names used by the current council members? This will be more beneficial to my future investigations."

Mo La narrowed her eyes and looked at Lu Ning, before she nodded slightly after a while.

"Reasonable request. First of all, our usual contact is through the administrator of the sixth district. The code name of the sixth district is 'C-loop'. He is also the one who plays tricks on the communication system. The tenth district is Dr.D , as you already know, the code name of District [-] is Eternity. This code name was changed about seven or eight years ago, probably because there was a change of managers there. District [-] is Peter Charlotte, and District [-] is Phidia, like me, these two people probably don’t use their real names. The code name of the manager of the first area is Labillins, which is the labyrinth, the second area is the library, and the fourth area is the fantasy, remember?”

"Uh-huh?"

Lu Ning frowned slightly.
