Returning from the abyss

Chapter 210 The Unchanging

In the early morning, Lu Ning woke up with a violent cough.

She lay on the bed for a while and then slowly sat up.The injuries she suffered while running away last night looked quite serious. She checked carefully after returning home, and there were already bruises in several places hit by the water flow, and her internal organs were even more painful after getting up today.

Unfortunately, Shimono Ye Nai did not return overnight.

This must be something unexpected. The signal point of Gutong on the phone has also disappeared. Either it was discovered or Ye Nai sent an erasure signal.

The next fifteen days is just the beginning.

Lu Ning didn't dare to go to the hospital. Who knows if Dr. D will also control a certain hospital and is waiting for her to send it to her door.Now that I think about it, among the people I know, the one who knows the injury better is Jiang Shanluo.

But it is still troublesome. As far as Lu Ning knows, without special power, it is difficult for this kind of internal organ injury to get better in a short time.

She opened the curtains, and unexpectedly found that the sky outside had turned sunny. The two consecutive days of cloudy rain had ended, and some glaring sunlight came in from the window, which might be a sign of a full day of bright sunshine.

Anyway, the Colosseum is a must, especially as the weather improves.But before that, Lu Ning still has to go to the third district. There should be some way for Mo La to relieve her injury, right?
Unfortunately, when she arrived in the third district, she was not allowed to enter.

"I am the agent of Mora Jano, and I have news related to other council members to inform her."

Lu Ning said this to the man in the cloak at the door.

"It's teaching time now, Lord Moura won't receive anyone."

"Teaching time?"

Lu Ning really didn't think about this question.

The gatekeeper also knew Lu Ning, and seeing her puzzled look, he explained patiently: "The students in the orphanage are all superpowers, but most of them can't use their power properly, let alone use their power in life. It's done. So every Monday to Friday morning, Lord Moura will give lectures in person."

"This... can't you find other capable people to do it?"

The gatekeeper smiled.

"In this city, who else is stronger than Lord Mora?"

His thinking is undoubtedly a bit biased, but the meaning is obvious - if you want to teach, let the best teach it directly, there is no need to find ordinary superpowers to teach it on your behalf.

"In that case, please tell me when the class will end."

"You can come at any time after one o'clock in the afternoon. Lady Mora will not leave here easily, so you can rest assured."

With the gatekeeper's attitude, Lu Ning had no choice but to leave after nodding.

She rushed to the fourth district.

The Colosseum is open for business today, and the number of people who come to watch the Colosseum is much higher than usual on the days of the Colosseum.It took a while for Lu Ning to change her attire and rush over. When Lu Ning arrived, there was already a long queue.

Unlike usual, it is only open in the evening. During the Big Beast, spectators enter the arena from 09:30 in the morning. The beast officially starts at [-] o'clock and lasts until [-] o'clock in the morning the next day.Lu Ning wondered whether these audiences would have any mental problems after watching the bloody and brutal gladiatorial fight for a long time.

However, there are no restrictions on the entry and exit of ordinary spectators here. The only restriction is that you must buy a ticket to enter the venue, and even if you leave halfway, you must buy a new one.

Most of the crowd in line were also men, and ordinary audience members were mixed. It seemed that there were people from any district. Some people who were obviously regular customers were talking loudly about today's show, and the people around them were listening with great interest.

After hearing this, Lu Ning knew that these people's interest was not in ordinary beast fights. Many famous gladiators would appear among the big beast fights. This is the most exciting project today.

The long queue began to move forward slowly at this time, it was 09:30.

In the VIP seat at this time, the real VIPs had already sat in the audience seat on the high platform under heavy protection through a secret passage.

Of course, the goal of many people is a thrilling battle, and many people started to gamble. For these people, today's game list is not a secret, and the most important thing is entertainment.

The few people who kept their eyes open looked at the few boxes on the high platform.

All boxes are designed with black mirrors, nothing can be seen from here, but everything can be seen clearly from inside the box.Even with a mysterious and powerful background like the Colosseum, there are only five boxes in total, and these VIPs cannot get a place there with their wealth and status.

Many people speculate that only the most core people in Vice City may be qualified to sit there.

That's exactly what happened.

In the top-level box No. [-], a middle-aged man in a white coat walked in.The mask covering his face made his face unclear, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes showed that he was no longer young, but the two hands hanging by his sides were extremely delicate, and seemed to have been well maintained.

"Dr.D, hello, is it the same as before?"

The maid standing in front of a small kitchen bowed to him.

"Yes."

Dr. D obviously didn't like to talk too much, so he just answered and walked straight forward, finding the girl sitting on the soft and comfortable sofa in front of the box.

Even on such an occasion, the girl was still wearing a loose moon-white nightgown. The coffee table in front of her was full of popular novels and comics, and a half-drunk glass of juice was placed on the corner of the table that was barely vacant.The girl's hair is very long, and it can be dragged along the back of the sofa to the floor, but this room is covered with a brown carpet, so I don't worry about getting it dirty.

"You arrived a little late today..."

The lazy girl didn't look back, she stretched out her hand and pulled it twice before picking up the juice glass from the table, and yawned in the middle of her sentence.

"One of my 'descendants' was killed, and I'm busy investigating it." Dr. D sat down on an armchair next to him, his body straightened, and he looked at the sofa with sharp eagle eyes The girl on the board said, "Although Detection's ability is not biased towards combat, he was obviously killed by someone without any defense. I don't believe that my descendants will make such a mistake."

"What's the pity... Your 'Dendrogram Dominator' can have as many offspring as he wants, right?"

"That's not the problem! If there is such a person who can kill my descendants, then he will inevitably become a threat to me in the future! Utopia! Don't you worry? You must know that my descendants can also use the resources in my hands at will. The power of qualitative evil, even so..."

"I'm not worried."

The girl "Fantasy" raised her head, and the maid who didn't know when came behind put a grape into the girl's mouth, and then she lowered her head and responded to Dr.D with a smile.

"What does this have to do with me? Your lack of ability is your business, just like this Colosseum. I think your proposal is interesting and let you take care of everything here. If your lack of ability causes the operation to appear The problem, do you still want me to deal with it?"

"We are a common front! Don't you want to watch this city go to another situation? My men have penetrated into the fifth, sixth, second and ninth districts, and the most difficult bones are still in the first and third districts." area, but our plan is almost a success!"

"Correction, it's your plan..." The girl ate the second grape, "You have a lot of people, rely on your ability, rely on the 'jealousy' in your hands, and the ones you gather in the clinic and hospital Man, all of this is a plan you prepared yourself. I just thought it was interesting, or I could write you a record document or something, but I have no one under me except Beluffy."

"You want to break the contract?"

"I didn't break the contract... You told me to open the Colosseum to select potential people, and I agreed. You said that you would use this place as a base to expand your power, and I also agreed. Even most of the governance of the fourth district is you Are you and your descendants in charge? After all, I'm really too lazy to take care of these troublesome things..."

The girl raised a cool smile.

"Isn't it, you still want me to help you? Do you want me to fight against other council members? Dr.D, do I need to remind you again? Council members will always change, and inferior abilities Will be replaced by a more perfect ability, but only two members have never left their positions from the beginning to the end—”

Although she was still in such a lazy posture, Dr. D was suddenly taken aback.

It was a long time ago that he took down the source of "Materialism", and by relying on his own strength, he also achieved the result of prolonging his life, so he was considered an old seniority in the council, so old that he even began to think that he and others were more The long-standing existence is on an equal footing.

District Two, and District Four.

These are two areas that have never had a power grab since the birth of Vice City.

Dr. D doesn't know the abilities of these two district managers, but based on his own experience, he can deduce that these two people must have achieved longevity by virtue of their superpowers. What's more, like the girl in front of him, "Immortal ".

"Fantasy, I don't mean that."

"I know, I just thought it was fun."

In an instant, the girl changed her expression again, as if it was just a prank.

"Just a reminder, I don't care what you make of the city of sin, I just want to see if you, an ambitious man, can gain something from what you have done. If you win, it will probably be a successful epic of changing the dynasty , but if it fails, it seems to be quite good as a satirical drama to alert the world."

The girl said, and suddenly sat up from the sofa.

"Today's beast fight is about to begin."

"Yes, do you want to have a look at today's program?" The maid asked respectfully from the side.

"Which descendant of Dr. D prepared today, right? If you don't use the program list, it will be boring. The audience is almost in... oh?"

Her eyes fell on the stands in the distance.

Lu Ning shivered.

The temperature in the Colosseum is a little lower than the outside world, which is quite strange.Unlike her, people who have already been familiar with this place have already begun to watch the first few games played on the big screen in the Colosseum and start to comment, and even the names of people appear on the front list.

Lu Ning was sitting and resting, and was also looking around, and soon noticed the top few boxes.It's just that from the passage that came in before, there is no road leading to that side.

So the passages for VIPs and general audiences are separate?Not even a connection point in the middle?

She just felt spied on for a moment, but that feeling passed away in a flash, so fast that it almost made people think it was an illusion.

What kind of person locks himself in thousands of viewers?Peter Charlotte?She didn't think the other party's hand could reach into the fourth district. After all, as a manager, running into other people's territory and possibly using their abilities, it was almost the same as provocation.

Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden burst of shouts around her.

The first beast fight also served as a prelude to the opening. Three heavily armed warriors walked out of the iron gate on one side, raising their axes and spears to greet the audience.

A passionate commentary came from the loudspeaker, introducing the three of them.Lu Ning could tell that these three were three brothers. They had played many games here, and they were loved by many people because of their excellent coordination and tactics. It couldn't be more suitable as an opening.

"Then! As the opponents of the Silver Armor Brothers, there should be three opponents, which is only fair, but our organizers have arranged 'three opponents' for them ingeniously!" The commentator roared, "Then, the first match Beast fighting, a three-on-three beast hunting battle between the three brothers, the venue is Rock City, and the opponent is—three-headed Chimera!!"

A loud roar came from the opposite iron gate, and then, a terrifying combination monster poked out three heads from the iron gate.

It is simply composed of parts of many creatures. The three heads are lizard, eagle and snake, the body is cheetah, the tail is crocodile, and the four claws are originally claw tips, but they stick out like insect tarsals. Same nodular villi tip.

After a moment of silence, more intense cheers came from the auditorium.

"This is a creature that could only exist in legends, but we've been able to recreate it! The lizard's teeth are full of killer germs, the eagle's eyes have the sharpest gaze, and the snake can spit venom! Not only that, it has land The body of the most explosive animal in the world - the body of a cheetah, and the tail of a crocodile that can reach a ton by flicking its tail! We have even successfully transplanted some insect tissues into its body, enabling it to have some insect performance. Nature always surpasses The smaller the stronger, then can this Chimera tear the three brothers apart?"

The appearance of a creature that should not have existed in this world not only did not scare the audience, but instead made them vent their excitement loudly for being the first witness.

Even Lu Ning was a little dizzy from the frenzied atmosphere around her, and even had the urge to shout.

In the box, Dr. D looked at the Chimera and frowned.

He has done many more disgusting experiments, and this animal can't cause him any discomfort, but... Most of the people after his experiments are dead, and this is still a living life.

"Is this your handwriting?" He turned his head and asked "Fantasy".

"I saw it in a novel I don't know that day, so I thought about trying it out, but it turned out to be difficult to deal with. It just so happens that your who... Forget it, it doesn't matter, one of your descendants finds me, just help me I took care of the trouble."

The girl laughed.

"Isn't it good? The monster went where the monster should go."
