Returning from the abyss

Chapter 215
Lu Ning did not expect that she would run into Zhao Xihua in a coffee shop in the second district.

She and Ye Nai came here to meet Wei Yin, but as soon as they entered the door, they saw Zhao Xihua who was drinking coffee while holding a fashion magazine in the corner.

"Good afternoon, two beautiful girls."

An astonishing smile bloomed on Zhao Xihua's face. Even though those things had happened before, it was hard for Lu Ning not to have a good impression when facing the friendly her directly.

"I didn't expect to meet you here." Lu Ning went to sit down opposite Zhao Xihua, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing in the second district?"

"You probably don't like answers that beat around the bush, so I'll just say it straight, that blue rose badge." Zhao Xihua put the magazine on the table and smiled lightly.

"It's impossible to give it to you."

"I just told you not to hand over that thing at any time." Zhao Xihua said something that surprised Lu Ning, "According to what Li Yanke told us, that badge is the key to unlocking the evil tree map in the book, but I never Don’t fully trust other people’s words, no matter what deal he makes with others, it’s safest when it doesn’t happen, understand?”

Lu Ning nodded.

She didn't call Li Yanke in the past two days, nor was she ready to fulfill the "agreement" with the other party.But even so, Zhao Xihua still had to remind himself, explaining what she probably discovered.

"I originally planned to steal it here, but after seeing you, I thought it would be better for you to hold it." Zhao Xihua glanced at Ye Nai, "I have seen the door opener before, and I know her ability and limit, this thing Can't give it to her, or it will kill her."

"You question her strength?"

"I'm just telling the truth, you should have met my immediate boss? Isn't it you? Well... I'll explain a little bit." Zhao Xihua nodded his eyes.

Ye Nai also pulled up a chair and sat down.

"Peter Charlotte's ability 'weaving the future' I can only use the foreseeable part of it. The things we intercept from this world are information, and then use the information to understand the part that needs to be known. It's like No matter what the screen looks like in a computer game, the person who writes the program in the background sees only the code.”

"Such a big restriction?"

"For this reason, I asked Qingyu and Xiaochang to try to inherit the evil code to obtain the ability, just to test whether this is an accidental phenomenon." Zhao Xihua said, "The conclusion is that it is true, and the superpowers in this scene should have flaws .”

Deficient ability?

Is this an open side of the scene?

"But don't think too much." Zhao Xihua shook his fingers, "First of all, there is no causal relationship between the strength of the ability and the size of the defect. The defect of the rain ability obtained by Qingyu is that once it is activated, it cannot be controlled to stop, and Xiaochang's trap The maze can only be ten meters away. Neither of these two abilities are particularly powerful, but the constraints are not small at all. Speaking of the source of evil, if it can provide an unlimited supply of energy, it is at best a permanent reactor Well, there must be some other uses..."

"Cover up flaws?"

"I need an experiment, and you definitely need it. You just don't need to go over to the eighth district. Don't worry, we are not enemies, and I am not interested in making enemies in the scene." Zhao Xihua put the empty coffee cup at hand, "Okay, in exchange, I want to know some things from you, for example... What is the ability of the administrator of the third district?"

"I do not know."

"Ok?"

"I'm not directly given the power to use abilities like you. I was just given a life-saving amulet. Although I have seen her do it several times so far, there is not much in common in terms of the results. point."

Zhao Xihua was even happier after hearing this.

"So it seems that he is a much more cautious person than my manager! Finally, in this scene, there is someone who can guard us against us. This kind of challenge is interesting... Can you answer me additionally? A question? Do you know the situation in District [-]? At least this girl passed by there that day." She pointed to Ye Nai.

"Yes." Lu Ning talked about the important thing about returning to the sea and the battle between Goulart and Solit in the sixth district.

Zhao Xihua was as interested as if he was listening to some interesting story, and when Lu Ning finished speaking, he still had a bit of unfinished expression on his face.

This person is enjoying.

Lu Ning has seen tourists of all kinds so far, and they have positive or negative reactions to all kinds of difficulties and dangers in the scene. No one will enjoy the various difficulties in the scene as enjoyment.

This reminded her of the scene when the other party pointed a gun at her forehead.

This person... Even if he didn't have the ability to foresee, he might have shot himself with such a bright smile.

"What is Grid's ability?"

"Devouring power." Zhao Xihua replied with a smile, "He can completely swallow all the phenomena caused by the ability on things, but after that, he must return it to the user of the ability in a short time, otherwise he will bear those effects. This ability Not only is there a time and distance limit, but the number of devoured ones is also limited, so it’s easy to kill him specifically.”

"You sold someone so easily?" Ye Nai's mouth twitched.

"We are tourists, and our mission is to kill people and seize treasures. Do we have to hypocritically say that we love peace in front of our own people? I like to experience the convenience of communication brought by different personalities, but I don't like hypocrisy."

Zhao Xihua stood up and looked at Lu Ning with satisfaction.

"We are on the same front, don't worry. Besides, I have met Guo Mengyu. Now the first layer of secrets in this scene is gone for me, and the rest is to hide the route... I don't know. I hinder you, and maybe I will provide some convenience when necessary! I hope that when we meet next time, we will be on some means of transportation on the return trip."

"I hope it's the final battle."

"Hahaha! People like me who can't hold back or lift hands should avoid some fighting scenes, are you right?"

With this half-joking tone, Zhao Xihua ended the conversation, paid the bill and left the coffee shop.

"Is she waiting for us here specially? She has foresight..."

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter." Lu Ning ordered three cups of coffee, and then picked up the fashion magazine that Zhao Xihua put down and didn't take away. Some of the oddly shaped clothes on display.

She stood up the magazine, and a white crystal as smooth as a pebble slipped from the middle of the pages rolled into a cylinder. When she picked it up, a chill went from the crystal to her palm.

"She said that she needs to be tested, and we also need to be tested. So I asked one more question about Grid's ability, and she gave a very detailed answer." Lu Ning tapped the crystal with the blade of the sword chariot, The sharp sword in the past failed to leave the slightest trace on the crystal this time.

"What do you mean?" Ye Nai didn't understand.

"It's nothing." Lu Ning laughed, "You just need to know that she really intends to cooperate with us... No, she is ready to cooperate with everyone."

The so-called long-sleeved and good at dancing, before Lu Ning didn't quite understand how such a person can perform in various sinister scenes, but now Zhao Xihua really let her know a thing or two, let alone neutral, even Lu Ning Condensation can also be pulled back if the previous relationship has dropped to a freezing point.

"Once this kind of person wants to be your friend, he can directly give you a price that you can't even refuse."

Conversely, what about the enemy?
Lu Ning raised the crystal and looked at the sunlight, then put it back into the inner pocket.

"So she's really working with us?"

"She's not stupid. The highest-level combat power in this scene is obviously out of bounds. The tourists don't even have to think about the ending if they kill each other. I don't think we can spend the next [-] days peacefully and return if we don't complete the options. , In case some map gun incident happens in the end... Ye Nai, you have experienced more scenes than me."

This is true.

The scene time intercepted by the distribution center always skips some major events, which blocks the way for tourists to barely pass through inaction to the greatest extent.Even those dawdling people in the first order each have their own way of dawdling, and they have never heard that they will be safe forever if they hide.

Several scary images flashed in Shiwen Ye Nai's mind, and she quickly shook her head to drive these nightmares away from her head.

At this time, Wei Yin also arrived.

"Sorry! I'm late, it took me some time to catch up with the paper..."

"Isn't your investigation complete?"

Wei Yin sighed.

"It looks like you didn't go to college. Graduate students don't necessarily only have one paper to write..."

Lu Ning, who is not a real high school student but has never written a thesis, has nothing to say.

Putting other issues aside, Wei Yin brought good news.

She visited Professor Pfister yesterday and obtained some opinions and reference materials from him. At the same time, she also described Peter Charlotte's ability to him.

This seemingly shocking power to ordinary people did not surprise Pfister, and he even gave Wei Yin some "little toys".

"Scientifically speaking, predicting the future and changing the future is not theoretically untenable, just like the famous experiment conducted by Professor Pfister." Wei Yin took out a black square box from her backpack, and Fang There is a small lens on each side of the case.

Laplace's demon.

Indeed, physicists once imagined that an individual who masters all the theorems in the world, understands all the initial states of matter, and possesses infinite computing power can calculate all the past, present and future.Although this theory was once denied by modern quantum theory, powerful scientists will never give up the inclusiveness of the theory.

Wei Yin put the box in front of her eyes, looked at Lu Ning through the lens, and said with some fresh knowledge: "Professor Pfister's research direction includes this. Schrödinger's cat box is determined by observation. And the same can be done in the future. If human beings can cross their own dimensions and look for the uncertainties that escape from the high-latitude space, when the "observation" occurs, everything will automatically become a foregone conclusion—"

"Sounds like rote learning."

"Hey! I study history, so it's good to remember!"

Wei Yin put down the box and shouted pretending to be annoyed.

Lu Ning gave up with a smile and continued joking, pointing to the black box and asking, "Where is that box?"

"The peeping box, this is the name given by Professor Pfister. Through it, you can see the appearance of some objects after a period of time, but the information captured by this box has a large error. Sometimes you can see it decades later, and sometimes you can only see it." A few seconds in front of me. But people... can always be distinguished by age. What I see is that you are about the same age as you are now, with your hair cut? Lu Ning, it seems that within a few minutes to a few days you will be It's all right." Wei Yin shook the box in her hand with a smile, and handed it to Lu Ning, "Do you want to try it? It's fun."

"Hmm... is this thing so powerful?"

"It needs a special battery. It seems to be called an annihilation reaction layer... I don't know how long it will last. Professor Pfister has no extra."

Lu Ning nodded, raised the spy box with a hint of curiosity, and looked out through a lens.

What came into view was the burning coffee shop, the broken glass and the blood-stained bar counter, which was undoubtedly the scene that was being shattered.

"This--"

Surprised, Lu Ning turned her camera and landed on Ye Nai.

The girl had turned into a cold corpse, with a deep gash on her throat extending to her heart, and the expression on her face was one of helplessness and regret, perhaps with a sense of relief.

She hastily turned her camera to look at Wei Yin.

The eccentric girl still had a smile on her face, but there was a hole in her chest that looked like she had been shot by a large-caliber sniper rifle. Her posture was a bit weird, but with such an injury, an ordinary person could not continue to live.

Lu Ning saw a flash of red light on Wei Yin's finger, it seemed to reflect some kind of outdoor light, and it seemed to be...

The last glance is the building that is turning into dust outside and rising towards the sky.

Everything is back to normal.

Lu Ning put down the peeping box, feeling her heart beating wildly, and some not-so-good memories came flooding back, and this time...she could even see the ending of the two people around her.

"what happened?"

Wei Yin took the spy box and looked at it, then shrugged and put it back into the backpack.

"It's a pity that the battery is out. Ye Nai, I wanted you to try it too."

"Wei Yin, is what you see here a decisive future? Or is it just a possibility of countless futures?"

Lu Ning asked quickly.

"When the cat is observed, life or death has already been decided." Wei Yin explained, "But we don't know when the cat was observed, because the mechanism may not be triggered until hundreds of years later."

Having said this, Wei Yin suddenly realized the meaning of Lu Ning's question.

"Lu Ning, you didn't see anything...not a good sight, did you?"

"Yes." Lu Ning frowned, "But I really don't want this kind of 'prophet' at all."
