Returning from the abyss

325 Refuge
"I should be the one who located your position earlier."

The demeanor of bitterness is peaceful, and the tone of voice is the gentleness and relief that Lu Ning is not familiar with. Can death bring such a change to people?Her memory is not so clear.

"When I realized that I had entered a hot world, I checked the mission records for the first time...Of course, the bitterness and despair in my heart at that time also made me feel something was wrong. If it wasn't for the suicide, the current I probably wouldn't talk to you so peacefully."

Lu Ning nodded.

"First of all, I immediately learned about my identity from the mission information. Unlike your Zhengshu, I was given three additional missions and two advantages. The mission included promoting the recovery of Lu Ning as a whole and finding out who participated in the plan back then. The core member and open the channel of the dream mirror. One of the advantages is that I have the ability to actively transfer the world's refuge', and the second advantage is that I know that the world that I cannot enter is the epidemic." Hate took out his mobile phone and read .

"Other things are almost clear to me. What is the channel to open the dream mirror? What kind of ability is the refuge?"

"The dream mirror channel is a way to go back. I have already found the 'professor' in my world. He is a good person and willing to help lost people like us."

"Our professor has been killed."

"It's normal. The core members back then were not of the same mind. Professors belonged to those with fewer desires, but others may not. You don't have to worry, even death is not a bad thing. The core members have one biggest difference from us."

"They don't want to go back, so there's no need to restore the nine selves, right?"

"Yes, the professor has secret contacts at the sites in each world. The side of the epidemic has already known about the attack. It is estimated that the professors in other worlds have also learned the news. But the professor didn't tell me. There are a few of them alive, you can come to us and ask him."

"Then what about the dream mirror channel?"

"The return route was built after entering here. This is a one-way passage, designed to communicate with the resonance nodes of the nine worlds and lead to the original world to achieve a stable return plan. As far as I know, not only Professors are working on this project, and there are other people who are doing it, but in turn ... there are people who are destroying this project."

"Principal. He directly regards the professor as an enemy, and he should be the one who doesn't want him to establish a channel."

"I don't know. Anyway, the confrontation among the core members must be the background of this scene, and we need to complete the recovery of ourselves in such an environment." Hen Ku took out a tablet and handed it to Lu Ning , "You have already understood the formation of nine personalities, which were all transformed by Lu Ning in the past. You are just the one closest to the 'now' among them, but because of this, you are the one who is most qualified to complete the collection. Here It is an analysis of split personality after traveling through the world. Fraternity, support for the crowd, and dislike of non-benefits belong to the positive personality, which will magnify some of the good nature you have. Indifference, attack and greed are negative personalities, which belong to the evil side of the human being. These people are magnified. But the last thought, the hatred of suffering, and the right center are neutral, the last thought is more positive, and the hatred of suffering is more negative. This is the biggest difference."

After bitterly speaking, she stared at Lu Ning's eyes.

"We have the same memory, so I think after reading this information, you should also understand that these correspond to when you were."

"But why did you go out of your way to help me?"

"I hope I can go back intact. You know how much trouble this time is. Cracking, if we don't reclaim our nine personalities, this soul damage will keep us trapped in the third level for a long time, and even drag us to death. But From the standpoint of other 'I', it is absolutely impossible to think this way, because apart from me, any Lu Ning must have the same idea at the moment, including you—"

To live until the return of the fifth order, to live happier than anyone else.

The rest of Lu Ning who had such thoughts would never trade death for other people's perfection.

"I see."

Lu Ning nodded, took the tablet, and read the relevant matters carefully.

"Can you tell me about the shelter?"

"We can turn any room into a refuge. It will be separated from the world separately, and you can connect to another world when you open the door. There are many restrictions in using it, but it is not bad as an active switching skill. The duration of the shelter is one hour, or we take the initiative to cancel it, if you want, I can now bring you into the summer beetle world where I am."

"After I finish reading, let's go together." Lu Ning nodded.

The document was not long, but it was just an explanation of the nine personalities, which Ge Shichong had quoted before.And the source of this information is a book on the division of human personality in this world in ancient times. It is quite famous in the industry, that's all.

"But why does this division happen to correspond to the situation in this world? Could it be..."

"Our thoughts must be the same. The professor did not give a detailed explanation on this aspect. Our thoughts are probably correct."

A similar thing happened a long time ago, but there was no record left, and some insinuating fragments left a little clue.And since it happened, it must have been solved later, which also shows that there is any way to solve the alienation situation of the entire Hangdian University.

Lu Ning nodded, got up and followed Henku to the door.

Outside the door is a scorching world.

All the building materials of the campus were replaced with thick stone, but the heat finally seeped in.Although it was already dark outside, the sky showed a strange crimson color, a blue moon floated in the night sky, and there were no stars around.

"So hot!"

After confirming that the switched world was correct, Lu Ning was shocked by the high heat as soon as she went out. The previous epidemic world was sweltering. In fact, the temperature was only 37 degrees, but the world here is still at [-] degrees at night. High temperature above [-] degrees Celsius!

Just standing for a moment, she felt like she was sweating profusely.

"You don't have an air conditioner with you?" He gave her a hard look, then walked closer, "I don't have any extra, just stay closer to me."

But this effect is also very limited, Lu Ning followed her out, without the pollen and thick fog, the world returned to a familiar look.The heat made her tired body a little sleepy, but after all, she didn't trust the "Lu Ning" beside her too much.

She is very good at catching the enemy when she relaxes her vigilance, and asks herself, if she is facing another self now, she will not hesitate to strike.

What an irony.

"Slow, we have to bypass."

When they went down to the first floor, the two were about to turn to the main entrance of the building, but Hean Ku held her back. At a glance, Lu Ning found a few monsters wandering aimlessly in front of the main entrance.

They are very similar to the incarnations of elements in some games. Most of their bodies are composed of sand, flames, and storms visible to the naked eye, except for a shiny core below the neck, which forms the basis for all parts to attach to.

"This is the characteristic monster of this world. The ruler of this world, Flame Stone, is a huge mass of magma, squatting on the side of the stadium all year round, but it is now a lava pool."

"What is the combat effectiveness of these elements?"

"Very strong. If there are more than three in a group, you must use powerful long-range weapons to bombard and kill. Yan Rong's melee ability can also be tied with one. Fortunately, these things have low intelligence, and When the environment is not conducive to their existence, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and tactics can be used to win."

While talking, the two jumped outside from a broken window.

A more intense sense of heat shone down from the sky, not to mention Lu Ning, who had an air conditioner and hated to sweat at this time, and the blue moon seemed to be another sun. Although it did not emit strong light, it Pour all the blazing heat on the surface.

"You are living in such a place? So what do you guys know about that dawn in the mission?"

"It refers to the normal sunrise." Hen Ku pointed to the sky, "No matter how you look at it, it feels abnormal, right? The day here does not experience the alternation of day and night in the sense we understand, but the light of the star It changes from blue to white...then the light spreads to illuminate the entire sky. And the position of the star never changes, and this 'earth' we are in seems to be in some strange relative static state."

In this way, the celestial phenomena of other worlds seem to be completely abnormal.

In the world of heavy rain, the sky cannot be seen, and those black stars called "eternal lights" on the lights look normal in the cold, but there is no general meaning of sunrise, and the green sun with tentacles is even more so. Don't say it's normal.

"Why is it sunrise?"

"What do you think? Maybe there is no logic, if you insist on finding a reason...we should have the same idea."

"When the dawn comes, the nightmare awakens. Since this is a dream mirror, then the dawn is the time to wake up. We must take the initiative to break free from the nightmare, or the dawn will never come?"

"En." He bitterly responded, avoiding the wandering route of elements, and led Lu Ning to a low hut.

This area does not belong to any school building, or it does not have a number.They are shops specially set up by the school next to a cafeteria, selling some things like fresh fruits and dried snacks. At this moment, the huts under the huts are already empty, but because the buildings are all made of stone, it is still here. Very strong.

"here."

He hates to get into the third shack from the left, and lifts off the straw mat on the ground, revealing the cover of the sewer below.She lifted the cover and easily lifted it, then pointed to Lu Ning to climb down.

"underground?"

"In such a hot day, the ground is not suitable for human survival anyway, right? And the airtight environment is conducive to our ability to use the shelter."

After going down the sewer, the air inside is very dry, and much cooler than the ground. After all, the temperature is not enough to penetrate the thick surface.However, Lu Ning knew that this was just a psychological effect. After all, as the original sewer, the water here had evaporated completely, and the temperature was not much lower.

"Follow me, don't remember the wrong direction."

The underground waterway has been expanded into a labyrinth by the obvious artificial traces, and there are several traps along the way, and the number of hidden detection equipment is unknown. At least from the perspective of defense, the "professor" in this world is better than the previous one. Much better done.

After going down another floor, Lu Ning no longer knew where her position corresponded to on the ground, and the destination appeared in front of her eyes.

It was a heavy iron door like the door of a vault. I reluctantly pressed a metal plate on the side of the door that looked like scrap iron, and the door slowly moved and opened.Cold light shines from inside the house, and there is even a refreshing cool air gushing out from inside.

"Lu Ning, you're back...huh?"

Coincidentally, Yan Rong was passing by the door with a piece of jerky in his mouth and a cup. He caught a glimpse of Lu Ning who was about to say hello, and suddenly found that two of them were stunned, and even the jerky fell out of his mouth. Caught it.

"I remember you were wearing this outfit when you went out." Yan Rong pointed at Henku, and then at Lu Ning, "Wait a minute, did you pick yourself up?"

"Yes."

"You really want to die?"

"My character flaw came from the moment I killed myself, it's in my nature that I can't change. Just like you."

"Ha, at least I didn't think about dying when I was most frustrated in my life. However, everyone's life is different, and I won't make any comments on you. Since you brought her here, at least a temporary covenant has been reached. ?”

"Hello, Yan Rong, although this feels a bit strange... But we have been acting together for a long time, and now it is hard for me to feel unfamiliar."

"Anxin, I won't do anything to you, Lu Ning, have you mentioned it to her? Those who reclaim and split must do it themselves, and it will be a big loss if they are killed by others."

He bitterly shook his head: "Not yet, but she knows now."

Yan Rong immediately expressed his understanding, took the meat out of the cup again, and raised the cup to Lu Ning: "Then I wish you, no, everything is going well with you, I'll go make a cup of coffee."

After she left, Lu Ning shrugged, which felt really strange.

"Isn't it right?"

"How should I put it? The Yan Rong I know is more energetic, always full of indomitable drive, and can stand up to shock the audience and lead the team at critical moments. Seeing such an idle..."

"Everyone has a trough in life. Haven't you never understood Yan Rong's past?" He bitterly smiled, "When you are lucky enough to see the person you know again, let's have a good chat with her."

"Why can I be so detached when you are in a low period?" Lu Ning couldn't help but ask.

"After all, there is nothing important other than life and death."
