Returning from the abyss

Chapter 307 The Opposite of Light
Ning Yeyi glanced at the remaining power, and immediately opened the drawer to find something like a mobile hard disk to store it in. Lu Ning took over and opened the folder and began to quickly check the file names inside, trying to pick out the key records first. .

It can be seen from the chaos of this desktop that the storage of files has not been numbered in an orderly manner other than the basic classification.Lu Ning sorted it several times according to time, name and size, but she couldn't figure out which core file it was. She could only search with her eyes and found a file named [Project LR Update ver4.2]. A higher version.

This is an outline document with a length of more than forty pages. Ning Yeyi has already found a mobile hard disk that can be used. Lu Ning starts to copy the files in chronological order, and at the same time opens the file to read the contents above.

[LR project, the sixth team task outline ver4.2 version

On the basis of the previous edition, this outline has amended items 20, [-], [-], [-], [-], and [-]. For details, see the amendment plan and footnotes for each item.Supplement No.[-] four items, as the general emergency countermeasures corresponding to the previous dimensional earthquake phenomenon.

Project goal: The main goal of the sixth research team is to conduct basic research on the lamp holder and determine related parameters. The calculation report should be submitted to the General Research Center by email or in writing every Thursday before [-]:[-] p.m.

table of Contents:

...]

Lu Ning read it quickly. The first half of this document is similar to a standardized text. It should be the same for groups with the same research content, involving confidentiality agreements, responsibility assignments, task rules, standardized operations, funding details, timetables, A series of content such as termination clauses.However, starting from article No.11, there are articles specifically for this group.

"The danger of the lamp bearer is classified as C*...Yes, refer to the first section of "General Hazard Classification Guidelines 51-9-20", this thing must also exist on the computer."

"I suggest that we still take this computer with us, in case we can buy a battery from a merchant and restart it." Ning Yeyi pointed to the lower right corner, "Look, there are still 2% left."

"But we should take a look at these materials. Don't you think this should be the cause of the whole incident?"

"Lu Ning...the cause is important, but the current situation is the most important thing to consider."

Ning Yeyi gestured to the door, and then Lu Ning noticed an elongated shadow projected from the small window on the door, still very eye-catching in the dark light, it looked like a mace Great.

"It's a monster." Lu Ning was slightly startled, "When..."

"It was there when you opened that file just now, and it's weird that it's just standing there."

"Blocking the door? But the monster should attack us as much as possible, right? Even if you have the endurance, you should lurk instead of standing in that kind of place."

"So I'm going to try." Ning Yeyi walked around the desk and walked to the place diagonally opposite the door.The glass was frosted, so she couldn't see clearly what the monster outside looked like through the glass, only a silhouette poked straight out of the door.

She raised the Gauss pistol and fired more than a dozen shots from top to bottom. A row of straight blue molten holes quickly appeared on the door, and the wailing sound of monsters sounded outside, but even so, it didn't break into the door.

"The door is locked from the inside, but it shouldn't be a problem for the monster. There are other things preventing it from coming in." Lu Ning picked up an empty pen holder from the desk, "I think we can take a look at this guy What does it look like!"

She threw the pen holder forcefully at the small window on the door, and the glass was smashed to pieces, revealing the true appearance of the monster outside.It was a brown cylinder-shaped head, and the cylinder was densely covered with opened eyes. At the bottom were two mouthparts that looked like beetle mouthparts. Two transparent hoses spit out from the mouth and continued to flow out. translucent liquid.

"This thing is really disgusting..." Ning Yeyi raised his hand and shot a few times at the monster's head, blowing out some eyes, and finally made the monster take a few steps back, and then it left the door.

"gone?"

"Don't let your guard down." Ning Yeyi walked slowly to the door, but didn't get too close. Instead, he picked up a meter stick and carefully reached for the doorknob.

Just when it was about [-] to [-] centimeters away, a transparent hose suddenly came in through the shattered glass window, and it accurately landed on the meter stick. With a crisp impact, Ning Yeyi dropped his hand and let the ruler fall to the ground. , and then pointed his backhand in the direction of the monster and continued to shoot.

Her marksmanship was very accurate, and even the hose was interrupted before it could be retracted, and it was only halfway back in time.

"That guy didn't go away, so it definitely won't go away." Ning Yeyi pulled out the magazine to check the bullet count, then reloaded it, "Lu Ning, we can't take too long."

"I know." Lu Ning nodded, glanced at the ground, ran back to the desk, terminated the copying process, and then put the computer together with the mobile hard disk into the big backpack that Ning Yeyi had changed before.

"Do you know its weakness? You are the best at it, right?"

"Contrary to us." Lu Ning smiled and pointed to the ground, "They can't leave the light."

On the ground, the broken hose had turned into a black mass.

Lu Ning could see clearly that the moment the hose was interrupted and fell into the darkness blocked by the door, it quickly became what it is now.

"I see. So how do we keep it out of the light?"

"There are two kinds of light here." Lu Ning closed her eyes and took out the covering cloth again. In the darkness, there was only a fire around her, which looked very bright. "One is the light emitted by the stars in the sky. The other is fire that is preserved in this world."

"Ok?"

"The flame of the Knight of Lights, remember? And we, we also have this kind of fire burning on our bodies, but we can't see it with normal vision, and our fire is not very strong, and it can't shine very far."

Lu Ning took off the cloth strip, pulled out the obsidian dagger and cut off the entire desk surface, and then tried the height, which was just enough to block herself.

"Hey, you don't mean to..."

"It won't go away after being injured. It must be very eager for the fire on us, so let's let it see it."

Lu Ning slammed the dagger on the doorknob, and with a dull metallic sound, the door slowly opened.Lu Ning stood the desk beside her, and then walked slowly towards the door.

The monster appeared at the door again.

Its body is also completely a slender bamboo pole, only four tentacles are separated at the bottom to support the movement of the body.The hole that Ning Yeyi shot in its body hadn't healed yet, but the monster still couldn't bear Lu Ning's temptation to walk in gradually, so it got in through the door.

Those eyes focused on Lu Ning for a moment, and the two mouths released the transparent tube again, but one was a third shorter. The speed of this monster was still very fast, but only the light at the door restricted it. The direction of walking, and Lu Ning just stopped outside its attack range.

Compared to the Light Knight, this poor monster doesn't even have long-range attacks.

Lu Ning smiled, then raised her hand, and the monster spit out its mouthpiece immediately, but Lu Ning retracted her hand in an instant, and the mouthpiece was empty in mid-air, and Lu Ning took a step back.

Ning Yeyi stood in the far corner watching all this, she knew that she should not go there at this time, Lu Ning must be the only "light source" within that range.

Under the guidance of Lu Ning three or four times in a row, the monster finally got impatient and began to enter the shadow outside the door where the light could not be seen. Its four tentacles exploded with powerful force, pushing it as a whole and pounced on Lu Ning. past.However, Lu Ning had expected this kind of action as early as when it stepped into the shadows, and dodged in advance, and quickly returned to the desk board that had been erected earlier, hiding herself behind.

The monster quickly circled around, but the moment Lu Ning hid, the light on her body became weaker because of the obstruction, so weak that it could no longer shine on the monster.

It has never wanted to get close to that weak light so much, but after all, it was just a hair's breadth away.

Lu Ning heard something hitting the table, like a splash of mud.When the impact was over, she stepped back and walked out of the area, and saw black debris like soil clods scattered in front of the table.

"The moment you hid in, it began to disintegrate, although it might be able to bypass it at a faster speed." Ning Yeyi witnessed everything, she was far away, and the monster did not catch her as a target.

Lu Ning kicked away a piece of wreckage without speaking.

[In the world of lamp holders, light is a gift.

They can't survive in the shadows, and the flames are firmly controlled by the Lantern Corps. If they are lucky enough to get a piece of flame residue from a knight, it will be enough to make them excited for a long time.Although the eternal light will always shine in the sky, but at night, when the light is the dimmest, it is also the most painful time for the monsters without light.

At that time, they will start to desire "fire".

You know flames, right?
It symbolizes things that are bright, vital, active, and warm.For them, having "fire" means the continuation of life, and they may even take this opportunity to join the Legion of Lights. Even the lowest knights don't have to pursue "fire" as hard as before.

The everlasting lamp is the biggest fire in the world, and the strong flame will devour the weak flames, and only the lamp holder and his lantern army know how to use the flame of the everlasting lamp.

——Excerpt from "Meergan's Rubik's Cube: Volume of Lights"]

=====================
"weird."

Yan Rong nailed a monster that jumped in from the window to the wall with one shot, and the monster that lost light quickly turned into a black substance. This characteristic has also been discovered by everyone who went upstairs to "hunt".

"They must be bathed in light, so they attack from the outside, not from the shadows." Xu Jianqi didn't need to let the monsters leave the light, after all, they would die if they were hit to the vitals, and the sword in her hand Enough to chop monsters apart before they get close.

"No, these monsters that attacked us didn't have any flames on them. Remember the Knight of Lights? They were almost on fire, but now these little monsters don't show any signs of burning."

"And poor."

Qin Yulou took a pair of pliers and pulled the wreckage on the ground, but found nothing.

They have already walked through two floors. There are quite a few monsters lurking in this building, but having to attack under the light has weakened a lot of threats. Yan Rong's force value is quite high. Destroy them Same with chopping vegetables.But the result of being so easy to deal with is that almost all the monsters are poor and useless. In the rainstorm world, you can get a few copper coins for killing a murloc. Here, you killed forty or fifty monsters, only one big-headed monster dropped two copper coins.

"I think we've wasted our energy a bit." Rong Han wiped off the ash from the dagger on his clothes, and said with a frown, "Although money is very important, do we really need it so much now?"

"Don't think that you can deal with the Great Demon King just after leaving Novice Village." Yan Rong shrugged, "I'm not confident enough to think that I can challenge this scene."

"No, I mean... This scene is still a survival scene after all, right? Our main mission is investigation and escape, and hunting is not mentioned in the whole mission."

"We also have someone in charge of the investigation, right? And even if we want to escape, we must have a certain amount of force to support it." Yan Rong put the spear on his shoulders, his face became a little more serious, "Rong Han, I know what you are worried about, but a There are special people in the team who are responsible for special projects, and it is impossible for everyone to do everything. If you say that your strength lies in investigation and analysis, then I support you to start your own actions now, but in all fairness, your current ability is really better than those who are Someone who spent a lot of energy on this? I don’t know about others, but Zhou Weiyuan is a guy who specializes in magic, but his extensive knowledge comes from studying in the library for three months.”

"..." Rong Han's expression changed a bit.

"Or another reason, you don't trust us? It's normal. In a dangerous situation, teammates who temporarily form a team cannot trust everyone. Everyone understands. But before you really feel that someone has betrayed you, try to Trust others. A single tree does not make a forest, do you really plan to go through the promotion scene alone?"

Speaking of this, Rong Han could only smile wryly.

Yan Rong explained everything so unabashedly, but he felt that he was too cautious and suspicious before.Indeed, the cooperation of this team is still very pleasant now. Even though he did not participate in the operation of the treasure guard because of his opposition, he still got the basic armament distribution in the end, and his teammates are easy to talk to... To be able to form such a team in the early stage Very lucky indeed.

"I'm sorry, because of some things before... I don't trust others."

"That's your own knot, at least it doesn't affect our cooperation now. You are right, we should carry out some actions, but not investigations - we can collect some suspicious evidence for them to analyze and analyze." Yan Rongbai He laughed, "After all, we can't let them just sit there and wait for us to finish."

The last joke dispelled the last awkward atmosphere, Rong Han smiled and nodded: "Then leave it to me."
