Returning from the abyss

Chapter 309 Hunting Tourist

"Meergan's Rubik's Cube", "The Fairy Tale of Sodom's Hundred Nights", "Harold and the Journey to the Dream Mirror".

The names of these three books can be found from the copied materials, but the specific content and background are not introduced. Lu Ning asked Chen Qiguang, and he only knew that it was a relatively famous fairy tale series "Dream Mirror". Representative, and also the first three books.If he asked more, he could only say that he hadn't read it.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because this is not a normal fairy tale. It's almost a dark fairy tale. I know that many people who like novelty hunting, fantasy and dark literature have a high evaluation of these three books. And a lot of works have been derived from it." Chen Qiguang said, "The authors who wrote these three books were all two or three hundred years ago, and they have long passed away. I am not very interested in this thing, but my ex-girlfriend liked it. This is what I understand.”

"Don't others know?" Zhou Weiyuan asked.

"Senior Teng is a cadre of the student union, senior sister Liu Shan is a top student in the School of Mechanical Engineering, and Uncle Bao is not our age, so everyone is not very good at this kind of thing... right?" Chen Qiguang said uncertainly.

"But this kind of book should be available in the library." Lu Ning stood up.

"Yes, I went to the library with my girlfriend to borrow these books before, but I just don't know if the library in this world can still read them."

As they were talking, footsteps came from the stairs. The three of Teng Zijian came back first. No matter who looked on their faces, they didn't look very good, obviously they didn't gain much.

"Senior, what's the matter?" Chen Qiguang asked quickly.

"The monsters here... are very poor." Teng Zijian shook the leather bag around his waist twice, and the clear jingling sound showed that there were not many coins in it.Those who were pretending to be dead by the side made a little movement at this time, showing worried expressions.

"The good news is that the monsters here have obvious weaknesses, as long as they enter the shadows, they will be eliminated naturally." Liu Shan leaned against the wall, her face was a little tired.

"Where's the Knight of Light?"

"They are different, so the difficulty is also different." Uncle Zi sat in the corner and chuckled, "I wonder if the young man and the girls have discovered anything?"

"Some gains, but not much." Lu Ning replied, "Uncle is the oldest here, right? I don't know if you understand the dream mirror story?"

"What?"

Judging from this reaction, I probably haven’t heard of it before, but it is also expected.

"You can go to the library, where the works of this series are collected." Liu Shan said.

"I have this plan." Lu Ning nodded, "Since you said that, you probably know something about it?"

"The monsters here all come from those three books. We have known this for a long time." Teng Zijian said, "I used to have a teammate who was very familiar with this series of stories, and he quickly recognized the origin of the monsters here. And helped me get through the tough times at first."

"Accident?"

"Yes, these monsters do not completely reproduce the situation described in the story, or the description of the story itself is one-sided. He saved several people because he was familiar with those stories, and died because of this kind of empiricism."

Teng Zijian took out an energy bar and took a bite, apparently recalling some unpleasant past events, so he stopped talking.Over there, Ning Yeyi took out the school map and peeked at the location of the library.

E7 is the number of the library. It is located in the center of the entire campus and has six floors. I don't know anything else.

"Everyone is back."

Ning Yeyi and Lu Ning were discussing quietly, and Yan Rong and the others had already returned.These four people didn't gain much, and after exchanging glances with Teng Zijian and others, they immediately understood each other.

"Obviously, if you want to gain anything in this place, you have to deal with enemies like the Lantern Knight." Qin Yulou shrugged, "This is not a good thing."

"We didn't have much savings as a businessman this time. At worst, we can change the world for about ten hours before continuing." Teng Zijian shook his head, his expression a little dejected.

"Yan Rong, let's discuss something." Lu Ning beckoned Yan Rong and the others over, and whispered about her discovery and her plan to go to the library to find those books.As a result, after mentioning this, Yan Rong immediately glanced at Rong Han.

"I actually found some things upstairs." Rong Han took out a small tablet, six or seven memory cards, and a charger that supports hand cranking from the bag that everyone was carrying.

Seeing the charger, Ning Yeyi's eyes lit up immediately, but then he realized that the charger was also specially allocated for tablet use, and couldn't charge the laptop.

"Now that you have found some information, here is a reference first. We need to recharge the tablet and see what is in the memory card. The light outside is already very dark, and now we will be less affected when we go out A lot." Yan Rong seemed to be always full of action, and was about to move on to the next step.

"Then the two of us plus you, and then..." Lu Ning looked around, there must also be a certain amount of force on guard here, and the charging has to be rotated.As if aware of what she meant, Zhou Weiyuan walked out directly, grinning: "It's easy to do things with acquaintances, and a lazy person like me doesn't have the strength to shake that thing for a long time."

"Let's clear up the package and prepare what we need to bring back. Teng Zijian and the others are fairly reliable, but it's just him, Liu Shan, and Uncle Bao. You'd better stay away from those people." Ning Yeyi whispered.

After a little preparation, the four people who regrouped went to the door, still covering their eyes first, Yan Rong slightly moved the cloth covering his eyes, felt it, and said: "It's okay, it's still a little uncomfortable, But we'll be fine running over there."

At this time, there are only four black stars left in the sky, two of which are getting smaller and smaller, and their influence can be ignored compared to the main two.And the two main stars give people the feeling that they are only the size of the sun at sunrise. Since the light is emitted by flames, it is not strong in itself, and the surroundings have turned into a rust-colored darkness.

Lu Ning took out her fastest speed and rushed out. Yan Rong was undoubtedly the fastest one, and Ning Yeyi was not slow, following closely behind Yan Rong. Lu Ning's athletic ability was not good enough to compete with them. At about the same level, who knew that Zhou Weiyuan was even worse, barely staying behind when he was out of breath.

Because the light is weakening, there are not many monsters on the road, and Lu Ning doesn't know where the monsters can hide at this time.After distracting my thoughts for a moment, the library was already within reach, and the distance between D1 and the library was not too far away.

As soon as they stepped into the gate of the library, the first reaction of the four people was to draw out their weapons.

It's not because there are any enemies, but the current appearance in the library is really weird.

The general structure of the library of Hangdian University is to enter a circular hall from the main entrance, with library rooms on the left and right sides, facing the elevator, and leading to the reading hall and small reading room at the rear on both sides.No matter how luxurious the decoration was originally, it doesn't look much in this kind of world.

But now, on the road leading to the library on the left, a row of white candles were burning neatly. Those were normal candles and normal flames, but in the dark environment, they seemed to form a path to hell.

Averting his gaze from the first sight, Lu Ning saw the debris all over the ground.

It was the remains of the dead monsters that could not receive light, covering the entire hall.Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi turned on the headlights to shine a light, and immediately knew why these monsters gathered in such a place without light.

The straight line formed by the row of white candles points to the right channel opening, and a pair of armor is scattered.

The four people still remember the style of the armor, the dark blue shape, and the black hole that fell into the heart in a spiral shape. This shape that once gave everyone a lot of pressure is now just piled there like a pile of tatters, and there should be darkness inside. The body and flames, as well as the threatening flame sword and energy shield, all of these are gone.

"The Knight of Light...is dead?" Lu Ning was a little surprised. She walked a little closer and found that the black hole in her heart had no longer rotated, and the armor did not show any signs of movement. If you look carefully, you can see the black hole. The center has been broken, leaving a small opening.

"This can't be done by some monster, right? Although the Lantern Knight is an inferior soldier, there is light on it." Zhou Weiyuan said.

"Because it died and the light disappeared, all the monsters here died. But... attacking and killing so many monsters..." Ning Yeyi looked a little unbelievable, she looked at Yan Rong, and Yan Rong also shook his head.

"If I know the weakness and the weapon is handy, I'm about [-]% sure to rush in and kill it, but that's just the ideal state."

At this moment, everyone heard a faint singing.

It was just humming, it seemed to be an unknown song, the melody was full of joy of victory and harvest, but it felt a little creepy in such a quiet environment.Lu Ning immediately returned to the team, and Yan Rong raised his gun and was the first to walk into the library room extended by the white candle.

Since the footsteps were not deliberately covered, the singing stopped when the four approached.

Candles split left and right in the huge library, illuminating the bookshelves in the front row like a grand ceremony. In the aisle between the two huge bookshelves, stood a young woman.

She was wearing a brown leather jacket, blue jeans, spiked leather boots, and a lady's wide-brimmed hat on one side. She held a black cane with a silver pointed metal on the top in her right hand, and a book in a black cover in her left hand. .Her appearance was so beautiful that Lu Ning couldn't even tell her age from her face.The woman had a polite smile on her face, but her eyes were slightly scary.

"It's not a monster."

The woman spoke. Unlike her stunning appearance, her voice was a little hoarse, a more neutral alto, but her tone was not hostile.

"Who are you?" Yan Rong asked.

"I know you, Yan Rong. I've heard about your ability. You are the top type of tourists." The woman laughed. Although she was polite, Lu Ning always felt that she was weird. weird.

After laughing, she raised her right hand and tapped her chest with the handle of her cane as a courtesy: "My name is Shang Wenxue, I don't think you know my name, I belong to the 'Pterosaur', and you are The 'Firemane' is not in the same order of battle."

Pterodactyl?

Lu Ning glanced at Yan Rong. There are nine Rosicrucian legions and three battle orders. Firemane and her 'Sea Serpent' are in one battle order, which means that there is a high probability that there will be cooperative missions. Dispatch, of course, this is only for groups, as for individuals, she has not received this type of task.

And the pterosaur was one of the three more suitable legions that Li Mingdeng had mentioned when she asked to join. If I remember correctly, the pterosaur should be beheading infiltrators who are fully adaptable to various environments.

"You're wrong, I know you." Yan Rong poked his gun at his side and smiled back, "Four hours a day to finish the hunting mission, two days and sixteen hours to finish the hunting scene, and all ten people in the team survived. If I haven't heard of the outstanding record, then don't get mixed up with the group of fighting madmen like Firemane."

"It's just an occasional success, and it's a shame to be heard by everyone." Shang Wenxue covered her mouth and chuckled, and Lu Ning noticed that she was wearing leather gloves on her hands, which was obviously not the initial outfit when she entered the scene.

"If you have strength, don't be too modest. Although we are not in the same battle sequence, we might as well cooperate if we meet in the scene. Did you light the candle outside?" Yan Rong asked.

Zhou Weiyuan raised his eyebrows at the straight-forward and bluntly changing the subject. Thanks to the fact that the other party was not a complete stranger, otherwise he might not be able to restrain himself from taking over the diplomatic work.

Shang Wenxue was also obviously taken aback by Yan Rong's way of opening a new topic abruptly, then nodded and said, "Because it's very dark here, I lit some candles, these are sold by merchants, nothing will happen .”

Lighted "some" candles?
Lu Ning looked around and saw that the number of these white candles was close to a hundred at least, not to mention how she carried them, the amount of money alone would not be a small amount.

But no one would talk about it. After all, the money belonged to Shang Wenxue, and she didn't have to ask others how she wanted to spend it.Lu Ning's eyes quickly fell on the book in her hand, which was the main purpose of her coming to the library.

"Mergan's Rubik's Cube".

"It seems that you have also found something? It's great, so the search speed can be a little faster." Shang Wenxue said happily when Lu Ning and the others' eyes quickly fell on the book, but her tone It was a bit too upbeat, so that Lu Ning and the others felt that a weird sense of excitement was being suppressed.

"Are you healthy?"

Zhou Weiyuan didn't hold back, and let Yan Rong ask this sentence directly.

"Thanks for worrying, I'm fine."

Shang Wenxue still responded with a smile.

Even so, everyone still had a skeptical expression.
