Returning from the abyss

Chapter 220
Lu Ning received an email from Zhou Li, an address that happened to be near her.She looked around, and soon saw Zhou Li with half of his face exposed from the narrow window of an old building.

[I have already tried the evil of the source, and I have a little understanding of its nature.If you are interested, come to me and I will exchange some information with you. 】

The email is short.After thinking about it for a while, Lu Ning decided to go upstairs for a chat.

Zhou Li will hide. It seems that the search in the first area is not small.

Not long after, the two met.

"Sorry, there's no good place this time."

This is a hut rented by Zhou Li with someone else's identity. The room is so cramped that it can't even fit a desk, and every corner is filled with daily necessities. Fortunately, there is no smell of garbage.

"Your office was similar last time. Tell me, what did you find?"

Lu Ning couldn't find a stool, so she could only sit on an upright suitcase, while Zhou Li sat on the only hard bed in the room.

"The Evil of Essence will indeed wake us up. I don't know if it's because of the awakening of the ability or if it's just set up like this. I didn't continue to try."

"Don't you dare? That's right, if you are replaced, you may be eliminated by the distribution center, right? You really can't take this kind of risk. But do you know your ability?"

"It's probably a defensive one, because I cut off the connection, so I didn't actually activate it." Zhou Li took out the emerald, "This thing is very sharp, it seems that it can be activated by cutting your fingers, but it may also be that we are not compatible. , can only be activated in this way.”

"This is gluttony, right?"

"Yes, the seven deadly sins seem to have different colors. It is said that the color of laziness is the same blue as the sea. I don't know if it is true."

Zhou Li's expression did not seem to be fake, and he didn't need to talk about such trivial matters.

"But you made an appointment with Jiang Shanhao, right? Is it okay to come to me in advance?" Lu Ning had already heard Zhou Li talk about the next arrangement before.

"It's okay, they must have made corresponding preparations accordingly. We all have a contingency plan in case something happens to us, so that if something happens to me, at least you can continue with my information. This is... The wisdom of old tourists?" Zhou Li also made a joke.

"Thank you so much for your trust."

"It doesn't count. After all, there are not many people in this world who have approached me. I just chose the one that seems more trustworthy. If I have anything to discuss with you, I will also prepare a copy for Jiang Shanhao." Zhou Li After all, put away the emerald.

"Then do I need to watch the ceremony from a distance when we meet tomorrow?" Lu Ning asked with a smile.

"If you want. But we are being hunted down by the first district, you have to be careful about being involved."

"What is this? I have been hunted down by the tenth district since the first day, and I am still alive and well."

=================
Saying goodbye to Zhou Li, Lu Ning returned to her new residence. This place is on the campus of the second district, not too far from the university. Walking out of the community is a comprehensive gymnasium, which is specially designed for the numerous sports schools here. The location agreed by Zhou Li The baseball field is just behind the gymnasium, and a corner of the field can be seen from Lu Ning's house.

There was still the leftovers from the previous chess game in the room. Lu Ning went over to pack up the chess pieces, and when she was about to go back to the bedroom to catch up on sleep, a breeze blew out from the door of Ye Nai's room next door.

"Ye Nai?"

She glanced at the room, then shook her head, now Ye Nai should be doing some tasks entrusted by the door opener, then...

"Don't guess, it's me."

"The door opener" Rie Kazama's voice sounded from behind the door.

"What's the matter with looking for me so early?" Lu Ning yawned.

"It looks like you stayed up all night, so I'll make a long story short. Do you already have the Evil of Origin in your hand? Or is there any relevant information?"

"Yes, you want it?"

"...Even if I say so, you won't give it to me, will you?"

Lu Ning nodded.

"It's just something that doesn't know the disadvantages of the evil code. Even if you hold it, it's a tool to complete the task. Why should I hand it over? And you are a special tourist, so you shouldn't need this to complete the task. Bar?"

"I don't need it." Kazama Rie said, "I just hope to break through some obstacles with this."

"In terms of ability?"

"Yes."

Lu Ning thought for a while, then asked again: "Is it your own ability, or someone else's ability that caused you difficulties?"

"I am very clear about my own ability. Although the evil of origin can also strengthen it, it is not necessary - just like if you take another step towards the door, you will fall into the scope of my ability."

After being warned, Lu Ning stopped and quietly walked towards the door.

"If this is just the ability to open doors, as you claim, then it is impossible to become a manager at all. Thinking in a larger direction, connection, connection, access, the definitions given by these so-called doors also let me I suspected that your ability is space-like, but even so, it’s not particularly accurate.”

She held up the mirror, although the person hadn't passed by, but through the reflection of the mirror, she could already look into the room.

There was no one there.

Kazama Rie, who was supposed to be speaking somewhere, did not appear in the room in the mirror, which means that the other party came directly without using the ability.

"Are you inquiring about my ability? Then you can spend the time to think about it slowly... As for my intention of needing the Evil of Origin, I might as well tell you that I have found Long Guihai and plan to deal with him."

"Then do you know that Ye Nai was captured by Long Guihai?" Lu Ning put away the mirror.

"I know, there's nothing I can do about it. Long Guihai's ability is the window to the soul. By exchanging his mind and body, he can make people fall into a trance or even fall into a deep sleep. The difficulty I encountered was that I couldn't capture his real body."

"What... the main body?"

"He has an independent spiritual world. By means of exchange, he can put the body into the spiritual world and the spirit can be imaged outside, so whenever I look for him, I can only see the projection of the spirit. There is no way to grasp what is retracted into the spiritual world."

"What are you trying to arrest?"

"Of course I killed him." Rie Kazama replied without hesitation, "Have you not thought about it yet? Long Guihai is standing in the opposite position of everyone in that position, and it happens that he is also blocking my way to complete the task. Now, shouldn't you kill him?"

"Of course I understand, but I want to find out your intentions—wait a minute." Lu Ning suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Is your ability an independent world?"

Rie Kazama paused visibly.

"If it's not connected, is your ability internal and external?"

"Why would you—you know the whereabouts of the third special visitor!"

The two spoke at the same time, and then the room fell into a dead silence.

It took a long time before Lu Ning spoke.

"Listen, door opener, I have a bad feeling..."

"I also... feel a little bad."

The thinking of the two finally reached a consensus at this moment.

"Let's not talk about whether you are opposed or not, what is the purpose of the distribution center distribution?" Lu Ning slowly sorted out her thoughts, "The three special tourists have little connection with each other in identity, and each holds an independent A special world that needs contact with ordinary tourists..."

It's almost like saying "the world here can't be saved, you each find a place to take refuge".

"Such a modern background with superpowers can lead to the end of the world, why am I so unlucky." Rie Kazama's voice was obviously a little manic, "It's hard to hide from the moment of destruction! I'm actually an ability initiator... ..."

"Have you met?" Lu Ning found that Rie Kazama had overreacted.

"Twice, one is the doomsday apocalypse, and the other is the collision of planes."

"Maybe this time it's limited to Sin City, after all..." Lu Ning thought of what she saw from the peeping box, "I still hope you calm down, and I may seek refuge with you if necessary."

"That's another matter. You talk a lot, but normal people don't have as many encounters with world-extinction scenes as I do? Six scenes hit three times! Does this mean I'm going to die?"

Lu Ning didn't have much to say, after all, Rie Kazama did sound a bit unlucky.

"Instead of thinking about that, it's better to think about how the world will be destroyed under the existing sinful city scene." Lu Ning has never experienced such a scene, and has no experience to provide, so she can only guess, "Although the administrators of the ten districts are very strong, they may all have limitations. If it is said to cause a natural disaster, I believe it, but how can such a serious result occur?"

"Um……"

Kazama Rie also began to think of this question.

"First of all, I don't know the ability of each manager. It is not a secret to me that only the ability of Dr.D's group of people and Peter Charlotte's weaving the future. Each manager has his own Superpowers are habitually kept secret, making it difficult to guess the nature of the ability."

"Is Long Guihai the C circuit?"

"I'm not sure if he inherited the evil of the source, which is actually quite strange. I heard Ye Nai say that your ultimate mission is to destroy the Council of Heaven, but there is no direct confrontation between players in this scene. That means that everyone's camp is optional, and he should not be in a position that directly opposes you."

"The task also said that it is not necessary to kill all the managers." Lu Ning explained.

"It's not this question, but what is the meaning of the task given to me... It's very strange..." Rie Kazama muttered to herself, "Is my understanding wrong? Or is there something I haven't solved in the scene itself? Wait a minute ——Lu Ning, do you feel that we always miss a certain topic without discussing it?"

"What topic did you miss?"

"It's like the...feeling that we always feel that there is something we should mention, but it has been bypassed? I often have this feeling. Now it seems that I must have not thought of a hint of the mission, but What exactly is that?"

She never understood the answer.

"I think...if you can't remember it, you should think about the important things first. If the source of evil is evil, now I know that there seem to be many missing..."

Gluttony is in Zhou Li's hands, greed is in his own hands, and Solite has taken away arrogance, so there are already three.

"Sacrificial Club, Sollet from the action team has one in his hand. Although his ability is quite powerful, if it was you, you should be able to get that one." Lu Ning did not intend to hand over her own, so she gave it to Kazama Rie found a more troublesome opponent.

"Sollit? It's fine, I'll conquer Long Guihai's spiritual world first and then deal with other things, but...it's too strange...strange..."

Her voice gradually drifted away and disappeared.

Now that Lu Ning is lying down, it is also difficult to fall asleep.

If the judgment of the real purpose of the three special tourists is correct, then the scene of the city turning into powder and rising to the sky should be what will happen during this period. At best, the Sin City is gone. Existence or non-existence doesn't matter, on the downside I really don't know how to get out of that situation.

Finally, when her head was aching from thinking about it, she fell asleep in a daze.

===========================
The time agreed by Zhou Li was at night.

He unlocked the baseball field with the key he copied in advance, walked into the players' locker room along the side of the field, and took out a gray cloth bag from an unused cabinet, which contained a pair of automatic pistols and a few clips.

It is better to plan ahead than to sharpen your guns.Zhou Li pinned the two guns behind his waist, covered them with his coat, and then took out the green gemstone.

One end of the gem was glued and wrapped around a few times with cloth strips, and now it looks more like a gem dagger.It is also made like this just in case, as a last resort, he can easily stab himself, and it can also be used as the strongest dagger at ordinary times.

He knows that many members of Jiang Shanhao's team already have superpowers. Although the opponent's team's reputation is not the type to do evil, he is not ready to trust it completely.

"Ten o'clock, there is still half an hour before they will come..."

Zhou Li got ready, sat on the bench in the lounge and took a deep breath slowly.

At this moment, Lu Ning, who was out looking for a late-night snack, received a call from Wei Yin.

"I...have thought about it carefully, and I want to continue."

Her voice was a little dry, but also firm.

"After I went back, I asked Professor Gunker and Professor Pfister." Wei Yin's tone gradually improved, "They told me that exploring the truth is a natural ability of human beings."

"The so-called discovery, cognition, and transformation are the paths that must be experienced in the development of civilization. Individuals who make up civilization are constantly exploring the mysteries of nature. We call it the gene of civilization, which is engraved in our history. Among the habits accumulated by countless generations from ancient times to the present, there is no change, and there is no need to change. Many people have left their names, but this group, those of us who study history will call them-the pioneers."

"Physics is actually very dangerous in some fields. The most classic example is radioactive elements and related nuclear physics topics. For those scientists who devote themselves to it, they know the danger, even to the point where they pay their lives. But why do you still need to study it? From a small perspective, if you don’t get in touch with the most dangerous and beautiful cutting-edge technologies, the country’s science and technology will not make progress; if it is more ambitious, it is for us people , understanding the nature of the universe is enough for us to devote a lifetime of faith, and it doesn't matter whether a lifetime is long or short."
