Returning from the abyss

Chapter 316 Tuning
After Lu Ning explained to Shang Wenxue here, Zhou Weiyuan also researched some clues.

"These rings should represent different worlds."

"We have thought of this kind of inference a long time ago. Have you discovered anything else? For example, how to safely travel between worlds, or the secret behind it?" Lu Ning asked.

Zhou Weiyuan blocked the outermost ring with his fingers and stopped it forcibly. At the same time, all the inner rings suddenly began to change direction and speed, and the overall operation became chaotic in an instant.

"What do you think this means?"

"It means...the worlds are interconnected?" Shang Wenxue said the obvious conclusion, "But we have known this for a long time."

"I hope you can use your spatial thinking a little bit. If we take the middle world as the normal world, there are nine worlds around it, but because of this structure, there will be no intersection between these worlds, and from the normal world to the If you peep from the outside, what can you see?"

"I can't see it because it's a ring." Lu Ning understood Zhou Weiyuan's meaning, "You mean, these worlds have always existed around the normal world, but there is only one spatial dimension facing the normal world, so they cannot be observed? "

"That's right, a line has neither volume nor area. If the ring does not have thickness, then the situation is just like what you said. These worlds only have one dimension to expand to the normal world macroscopically. If I am more familiar with In other words, these worlds are nothing more than space rifts that have not yet been opened in the normal world."

Zhou Weiyuan laughed, it seemed that this world finally started to arouse his interest.

"From the perspective of magic theory, the existence of a space rift can be opened, and the existence of a world cannot be perceived because it cannot be observed. Whether it is Melgan, Sodom or Harold, I am afraid that they are all located in a certain place. The lucky one who accidentally perceives another world in the intersection."

"So we are on these rings now?" Shang Wenxue pointed to those rune rings and asked.

"You can say that, but don't really think of this as a ring. These worlds can completely cover everything in the original normal world, which means that the size must be about the same." Lu Ning said, "Now this model should be established from a three-dimensional perspective for comparison. A model that illustrates the situation, but it certainly does more than that."

"Yes, you should imagine that the outside world is completely overlapped with our normal world, but expanded to a different space level. Well, now if we want to enter another world, what do you think should be done? ?”

"Uh...find that dimension, and then transfer your other two dimensions into another world?" Shang Wenxue's reaction was also quick.

"That's right, I'm afraid that's what that guy said in his journal, decoherence, resonance, boundaries... The experiment they're doing should be to tune a small part of the space to be the same as another world, so that in a small range Open up another world."

"And then it just came off naturally."

Lu Ning sighed and continued to adjust the knob.Although she has understood a lot of the secrets behind the world at this moment, she still feels that there are still some troublesome things that she still doesn't know about, just like when she was promoted for the first time.

"Let me ask you a question... Have you ever experienced such a mission before? The distribution center directly tells you a core secret location for you to investigate, and the degree of danger of this location is only this level?"

Shang Wenxue shook her head: "It's never happened before. From my experience, whenever the distribution center gives any obvious benefits, there are definitely traps waiting."

"I think so too, but I haven't found out where the trap is. Is there something wrong with these people's theories? Or is this model inaccurate? Or is there some unpredictable disaster that will happen if you use this thing?" Lu Ning frowned. Brows, there are too many possibilities, and none of them can be completely ruled out.

She simply put down the button, walked to a place near the window, put her forehead directly on the ice flower, and physically cooled her brain.

The previous experience, the warnings and analyzes of many people, and the behavior patterns of those friends... These are all in her mind, but she doesn't need them at the moment.

A word resurfaced from a long, almost vague memory.

"The time-space tricks and logical error traps contained there are far more deadly than the straightforward performance of the first order, and real instant-death behaviors will begin to appear in the scene, including unreasonable instant-death flags...for example, you took the wrong cup Drink water, or take the wrong foot in the door."

She shivered and moved her head away from the window. While her back was getting cold, she finally realized what mistake she had made.

Faced with various puzzles and difficulties in the second order, she and her companions have been trying to adopt reasonable methods or logical judgments to deal with them, but so far there have been no problems.

Even now, when faced with such a device, Lu Ning still tries to fully substitute all the situations to make it reasonable... This is wrong in itself.

It is reasonable because I have not touched those unreasonable puzzles at all. It is logical, which means that the unreasonable instant death in the scene has not been triggered yet!There are fangs buried deeper in this scene, which are more deadly than switching worlds to "possible" death and the dangers in each world!

"We... can't waste time!"

Lu Ning suddenly said this sentence, which made Zhou Weiyuan and monk Wenxue, who was still studying the pivot device, a little confused.

"What's the matter? Although we don't have much time, if we figure out how to use this machine, we might be able to figure out the law of smuggling, and then..."

"Don't try to figure out the law." Lu Ning swallowed hard, "The distribution center deliberately gave us necessary information. Rather than bothering to study it, it is better to use other more direct methods to obtain results."

"Businessman?" Shang Wenxue asked.

"Yes, we directly buy information about this device from the merchant. Believe me, this thing is just an auxiliary prop in the scene. It may be useful, but it is not necessary at all. This is a test for leveling up—think about your first level upgrade."

Shang Wenxue lowered his eyes, and Zhou Weiyuan also showed a thoughtful expression.

The biggest feature of promotion is "easy exit".

Although this "easy" is only relative, the distribution center has indeed done its best.Of course, Lu Ning knew that the device in front of him was the "exit method" reserved for tourists in the distribution center, just like the dirty blood ritual curse that could be easily lifted after knowing the method during the blood disaster.

Do tourists come here for the exit?

If anyone uses this device to return to the normal world and usher in the dawn, then this person will probably cry with his poor scores and accumulated super high soul damage.

"So what do you think is wrong with this scene?" Zhou Weiyuan asked.

"I don't know." Lu Ning replied simply.

This answer did not satisfy Zhou Weiyuan.

"I just want to ask you one question, Zhou Weiyuan." Lu Ning raised her finger, "You will never have any objections to this question."

Zhou Weiyuan raised his eyebrows.

"Everyone, including the notice from the distribution center, told us that one of the big differences between the step-up test and the normal scene is that soul damage will occur after entering the step-up scene. Judging from previous experience, soul damage will definitely Feedback on us physically or mentally, making us realize that something is wrong with us. Now, where is the soul damage in this scene?"

After she finished speaking, she saw Zhou Weiyuan's expression slowly changed.

==================
An ice mouse was crushed to the ground, and two copper coins jumped out of the flying ice.

Shang Wenxue leaned over to pick up the copper coin and threw it into the small leather bag on his waist.Behind her, Lu Ning was looking around, memorizing the topography of the campus, while Zhou Weiyuan put his hands in his pockets, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

It is around eleven o'clock in the evening in this world. After the three of them came out of Building A1, they walked along the road and began to get familiar with the university campus.Lu Ning's last question completely dispelled Zhou Weiyuan's doubts. Afterwards, they took a bunch of pictures of the device, turned off the switch, and quickly came out.

The temperature in this icy world is very low, but there is no snow.Lu Ning had to be thankful that she changed into dry clothes after entering the lamp world, otherwise the body in the rainstorm world would freeze into ice in minutes.

Just like what Shang Wenxue said before, most of the animals in this world are made of ice blocks, and those things that look like dropped treasures are sealed in the bodies of these ice blocks.These animals are very ferocious, especially small creatures like ice mice, who always attack bravely and are then smashed into pieces.

"There should also be people in this world."

In addition to being familiar with the campus environment, another important point is to find hidden people on campus.The task mentioned many times to help people escape and lead non-tourists to escape. At least from the perspective of completing the task, the characters in the scene are indispensable.In fact, Lu Ning felt that the strength and mentality of Teng Zijian and Liu Shan were the best choices, but there was no way to find them now.

When passing a dormitory building, the three of them stopped at the same time.

"This is...C10." Lu Ning glanced at the sign next to the dormitory building. This place should be a postgraduate dormitory. From the architectural style to the size of the doors and windows, there is a significant difference from the building where Teng Zijian and others met before.

Of course, it wasn't this reason that stopped the three of them, but a window on the third floor.

The moonlight was so bright that the vision at night was very smooth, and it was easy to find that one of the windows of the dormitory on the third floor did not have much condensation. In other words, the higher room temperature there should have melted most of the ice on the windows.

"Someone." Lu Ning said this, and then exchanged glances with Zhou Weiyuan.

There is no light coming out of the room. If it is a person, I am afraid that the thermostat that I saw before was not used for heating.It is not clear whether the person inside is a tourist or a person in the scene, and it is hard to say whether there is hostility. All three of them quietly drew their weapons——Shang Wenxue even pulled out a brown-painted special gun from the back waist covered by the leather jacket. pistol.

The door of this building was not blocked, and without making a sound, the three of them slowly moved upstairs. With their current skills, this basic infiltration was already very handy.Shang Wenxue is the fastest, her body is as light as a cat, and she can even jump and run without making any sound.

And as soon as you walk to the third floor, you can feel that the temperature is indeed a little higher.This is a corridor. If the heating effect even dissipates part of it, the room must be warm enough, but in such a world, such high-power heating equipment can be used unsuspectingly, and the situation inside is becoming more and more difficult to judge. .

Relying on memory, Lu Ning counted out the bedroom corresponding to that window.The postgraduate dormitory of Hangdian University is more luxurious. There is a dormitory for two people, and there is a small living room in the middle. It should be a room with three windows in total.

Lu Ning stabbed the door lock with a dagger and easily broke the door lock. Then Shang Wenxue pushed the door violently and stepped into the room. Before breathing, the cane had already touched the one who was sitting on a broken chair in the small living room. Between the man's throat.

Through the moonlight outside the window, he could clearly see the appearance of this man.

He was wearing a tattered cotton suit with a sweater inside, which looked nondescript, a pair of ugly cotton trousers and a pair of sneakers, both of which seemed to be picked up and didn't fit well.A long beard had grown on the man's face, and his age could not be discerned from his face at all.It wasn't until the coldness from the tip of his palm reached his throat that the man opened his cloudy eyes, his body moved slightly, and a block-shaped heater fell under his arm.

"Oh... people."

When the vital point was pointed at, the man didn't show any panic at all, he just let out an indistinct sound from his throat, then raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, but he didn't take Shang Wenxue's walking stick for a second thing.

"who are you?"

Lu Ning asked coldly.

"It's just a poor person who is lost here, no different from you." The man pointed to the cane, "Can you move it away? I'm not afraid of death, this thing can't threaten me."

Shang Wenxue raised her eyebrows, withdrew her cane and put it on the ground, but her eyes were still fixed on the man. She was not angered, but there was a dangerous frenzy in her eyes.

"You seem to have fully adapted to an environment?"

"Ah... if you live somewhere for two years, no matter how uncomfortable it is, you will get used to it."

The man got up and stretched his hand to the side. There was a snakeskin bag there. The man fumbled twice, and actually took out a cigarette case. He opened the cigarette case, but there was nothing inside.

"Do you have any cigarettes? Alcohol is fine too. On this cold night, with something in your mouth, I can also tell you this rather long story."

He threw away the cigarette case and wrapped his clothes tighter.
