Returning from the abyss

Chapter 306 Lights
Lu Ning covered her eyes with her sleeves. When the dim light disappeared from the field of vision, the oppressive feeling that seemed to squeeze her head away disappeared, but there was not nothing in the field of vision, but there were dots of flames , very weak, but very noticeable in total darkness.

This feeling seems familiar. Although the power system may be different, the reason is similar.

The brightest flame came from the direction where Yan Rong and the Knight of Lights fought. The two fiery fires leaped and moved. For some reason, it made people think of the word "health".

"Just don't look at it." Zhou Weiyuan said, "Of course, it's not easy. The outside world receives more light than the inside of the building. The effect of this kind of blindfold can only be delayed."

"Enough is enough, we can hide in another house, as long as there are no monsters there." Rong Han said.

"But, how does this look like a clear path..."

When everyone began to cover their eyes, Cang Su whispered.

"Follow me." Xu Jianqi stretched out his hand to hold her.

The rest of the people also had the same difficulty. It was okay for Lu Ning. She had done special training in pathfinding simulations in a completely dark environment, but certainly not all tourists had this ability.

At this time, Yan Rong had already started to retreat, her fighting style was still brave, and she even stabbed the black hole in the heart of the Light Knight once, but these were all useless efforts. Ning and the others were about to run away, but with a wave of his hand, the newly born entourage rushed towards the crowd.

"Be careful!" Yan Rong warned, but her teammates were quicker to deal with this kind of enemy. Ning Yeyi drew his gun and clicked, and a dozen blue dots appeared on the surface of the entourage's dark body in an instant, and Teng Zijian quickly took a step forward, and after flipping a mechanism on the handle of the curved sword with his fingers, he suddenly exploded with incredible speed, and with a turbulent airflow, he slashed directly from the top of the entourage's head to his abdomen.

There was a crisp cracking sound, and the attendant's body was torn apart. The inside of the black substance was not completely black, but it was burned to ashes by the burning flames in an instant, and no one had time to see what it was.

At the same time, following a slam, Yan Rong flew up, flipped over in the air and fell to the ground, and escaped from the battle with a shield blow from the Knight of Lights.

"Come on!"

She heard the whole discussion just now. At this time, she pulled a piece of clothes to cover her face, and propped her spear on the ground. She jumped up like a pole vault, and kicked the window at the end of the corridor to pieces. He went out through the window and fell outside.

She was in the back of the palace, and she retreated so decisively... Lu Ning felt that she had to get used to Yan Rong's behavior.But thinking about it now, everyone immediately started to escape through the windows.The Knight of Lights didn't seem to realize where the person who just fought with him had gone, and stood there for a few seconds. During this time, most of them jumped out of the window.

But the knight was not an idiot after all. When he realized that the opponent was running away, he immediately raised his sword and made a gesture of accumulating power against the window.

"Danger!"

Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi worked together to pull down Xu Jianqi and Cang Su who came out last. They didn't even care about being pierced by the glass. Only half a second later, a pillar of fire shot out from the window, booming On the tree outside the window, the dry trunk suddenly started to burn, and began to transform into a black texture.

When everyone was amazed at the light knight's long-range attack and such power, Lu Ning got up and pulled out a few small pieces of glass stuck in her hand, but was attracted by the situation on the window sill.

It was the shattered glass that fell on the window sill when Yan Rong shattered the glass. The high temperature generated when the pillar of fire penetrated the window melted the glass, and now it has formed a molten slurry, but it is rapidly cooling and solidifying.

Most of the people were already out of the range of the patrol. After the last shot of the flame gun, the knight of lights stopped chasing him, turned around and walked back into the corridor.After seeing it, Lu Ning reported that she was safe, then quickly covered her eyes, grabbed Ning Yeyi beside her and started to follow the team together.

The flames that can be seen in the room can no longer be seen after they come out. Instead, they faintly feel the nausea when looking outside. As Zhou Weiyuan said, the effect of covering the eyes with a cloth will be weakened even more.

Tourists have a one-and-done solution, but they can do it, but they have to weigh the gains and losses of the whole scene.Lu Ning understood that if she really came to the point of life and death, she would dare to poke her eyes, but that would mean losing more things.

It is not convenient to walk blindly, especially since Lu Ning and the others are not familiar with this school.They stumbled many times along the way, and sometimes even had to remove the cloth to see if there were any dangerous monsters around.Fortunately, the campus is very large, and the monsters don't seem to like to wander around so much, and the light knights who are patrols are not all over the campus.

"Cough, cough..." This time it was Zhou Weiyuan's turn to remove the cloth and look around. He coughed quickly and said, "The star closest to us has fallen below the horizon. Could it be that?" better?"

"Well, the most dangerous time in this world is dusk, and maybe dawn. Those burning stars will collectively appear in the sky at dusk, and the light is also the most uncomfortable time, but about five will fall one after another. Two of the four will move farther away from us, and only two will last the entire night in a moon-like manner, when the sky will be much darker, and it will be much better to move out in that light."

"Are you still going out for activities?" Yan Rong asked in surprise.

"The income in the lamp world is very high, and the lamp knight is difficult to deal with, but lower-level monsters can still be killed. The risk and benefit have always been directly proportional... Ugh."

Teng Zijian retched, and it seemed that he was also affected.

"You know so much, are you willing to share it now?" Qin Yulou said angrily.

"This is a high-risk world. If you can confront the Lantern Knight head-on... at least she can, then at least the survival rate will be higher. Also, I don't know much about this world. These are some basic information I learned from the businessman. So you really want to buy what I haven’t got and sell it to you.”

"I'll really listen."

Although there were some language conflicts, everyone was still running into a relatively safe building in order to survive.

The building as a whole is still intact, and there are even venetian-style curtains on the windows, which are completely opaque when they are closed. Everyone created a dark area in this way, lit their own flashlights and lamps, and then put down the blindfolds. He looked a little more tired.

"Here... is the D1 building." After she cleared her mind a little, Lu Ning began to recall the location of this place on the map.In fact, it is relatively easy to identify. The teaching buildings on university campuses are usually not very tall. After all, students often need to rush back and forth between classrooms, but laboratory buildings and office buildings are quite high-rise buildings. Building D1 is the first office building of the school and is also where the principal's office is located. It is 21 floors high and looks very grand.

This is also the office of some specially-appointed professors and re-appointed professors. There are many small conference rooms, which are suitable for some scientific research teams to hold group meetings. However, the information is not very useful now. The point is that this building is very large.

"I think we can find some monsters here." Teng Zijian recovered and suggested, "The powerful monsters dare to move around, while the weaker ones will lurk in the shadows. In this kind of building, just avoid those walking around. Monster, we still have a good chance of making a fortune."

"You never forget to make money," Yan Rong said.

"Of course, I have a whole team to lead. Liu Shan, Uncle Jin, you two will come with me this time." Teng Zijian shook his head, stood up and was ready to take action.On Lu Ning's side, Yan Rong was naturally the first to be interested in this. She didn't seem to have enjoyed the battle with the Light Knight just now, and she is still eager to try. Rong Han and Xu Jianqi are still following, and Qin Yulou is also planning to set off this time. Go and see the process of hunting monsters.

But Lu Ning has no interest. Unlike Yan Rong, she is not very interested in pursuing powerful strength, as long as the strength is sufficient, and now she is ready to investigate the scene mission.

"Let's meet here in two hours, and you have to be careful of monsters when you investigate."

"It's not the kind of lamp knight or treasure guard that we can handle." Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi waved their hands, sending Yan Rong and the others away, and then the two went to the corridor to find the floor plan and began to study.

"Remember? The mission didn't ask us to enter any D department building. This is actually very strange. If anyone knows about the strange situation on campus, it is most likely the management team." Lu Ning said.

"That's true, but it's also possible that someone else was conducting research in private to cause the problem. The disappearance happened many years ago. If something like the headmaster's change occurred, then they might really not know about it."

"But the school should not be clear about the disappearance of someone, and no one has mentioned it all the time?"

"Is it really missing?" Ning Yeyi pondered, "Lu Ning, on the surface, this scene looks like a world full of monsters switching back and forth, no matter how much it is, it is difficult to reach the dawn in time, this puzzle needs to be solved , but this is an upgrade scenario, it will definitely not be so easy. What if we consider it from the perspective of cognitive interference?"

"That would be much more troublesome."

"Do you have a feeling that the real danger is far from appearing, the monsters we encountered now, the spiritually polluted light in the sky, and the world transformation... These don't actually worry me, I am What we've encountered so far, there's only one thing that's kept our vigilance high."

The two looked at each other and said at the same time: "Xu Hong's death."

Although compared to the monsters that followed, it was just a near-miss encounter, but the cause of Xu Hong's death is still unclear—death is not frightening, what is frightening is the cause of death, for Lu Ning This is especially true for a class of people.

"We can only be sure that it is some kind of regular death attack, but is there any internal logic?" Ning Yeyi walked into an unlocked office while talking, and began to search for things that might be useful. Will there be illogical instant death? If so, it will only depend on luck."

"At least there are traces of Xu Hong's death. Before he died, he said the word 'water', which means that he should have been aware of the danger, but he was powerless to resist. There is no doubt that Xu Hong should be here People who have lived longer, the only question is ... where is the water dangerous."

"I have an idea." Ning Yeyi said suddenly.

"Tell me."

"There is nothing on Xu Hong's body, and he will yell at people when he sees that the monster is obviously in a state of extreme tension or even insanity, so could it be that he was in the state of being chased and killed by the monster for a long time, and then... used that thing? "

"You mean... he stowed away?"

"Using the positioning beacon can force the world to be switched, but what is the difference between affirmation and gradual change, for example, if you stray into a world that is incompatible with you, you will die immediately... like this?" Ning Yeyi was a little uncertain.

"It's possible. According to the information left on your computer, there are thousands of people who have been lost in this multi-world before, and this is only the part that can be found in the school. But the number of people we saw at the merchant's place last time was far away." Not enough, excluding those who were killed at the beginning and those who did not go to the merchant, there are only one or two hundred people left? Do you think this survival rate is normal?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on the quality of those people. So you mean, we are equally distributed, and different people appear in different worlds?"

"Probably from the moment we left the classroom, we have been screened. Didn't we see the missing person in the corridor outside the classroom?"

"However, it is possible to travel between worlds through positioning beacons, so it is not absolutely impossible to meet... In this way, the strength of tourists is dispersed."

Ning Yeyi seemed to be thinking in this direction, but Lu Ning still had some doubts.Judging from the last upgrade, the number of people crammed into the distribution center at a time is hundreds. After so many tourists were divided equally, they still didn’t see a few. On the contrary, she saw two targets. The probability of this is actually Also very low.

Gradual changes probably won't separate people who were originally in the same world, otherwise the meaning of the team would be meaningless. Teng Zijian and the others were not prepared for this.But there is still something wrong, it should be some easily overlooked issues that she didn't take into consideration.

"There is."

Ning Yeyi suddenly let out a low cry of surprise. She didn't find any useful information, so she tried to turn on the computer in the office.Of course, the desktop ones are unusable. I didn’t expect to find a notebook that still has power.

This is a computer for work. Ning Yeyi easily cracked the power-on password. After entering the desktop, he found dozens of folders in a mess.

Both of them have strong high-speed browsing ability, and quickly found a name in the folder that should not appear on a normal computer.

【Research on the Lantern Holder】

There are pictures and text materials close to 3G in the folder.
