Returning from the abyss

Chapter 326 Channel Node
There are many people in this place, not only Yan Rong, but also some tourists and characters in many scenes also found here. Lu Ning even saw Teng Zijian sleeping under a table, and he was quite different from him in another world. .

"Professor, I brought the man."

Walking to the door of a small office, he knocked on the door bitterly, and said this to the inside.

"Come in."

Gai Shichong's voice came from inside, and Lu Ning had just experienced the death of this person in another place less than an hour ago.

The door was pushed open. This is a small laboratory full of various equipment. Besides Ge Shichong, there are several people who are debugging the equipment and doing some experiments. It looks very busy.Gaschon's attire was no different from the other him, and he even had a metal box by his hand.

"Wait a minute, I'll record the data." Gai Shichong waved his hand, instead of looking back at the two of them, he was busy finishing the work in hand.After about 10 minutes, he turned around, sat on the stool and looked at the two people carefully.

"You are still somewhat different."

He sighed.

"Didn't you have a chance to observe it before?"

"Haha, most people will fight when they see their other selves when they come here. I have never seen a pair of sisters like you."

"Fight?" Lu Ning asked, "They don't necessarily know..."

"I found myself in a strange and weird world, and then I met someone who looked exactly like me. It would be strange if I didn't fight." Ge Shichong stroked his beard, "Of course, after understanding the relationship between each other It's surprising that you can live in peace without dying."

It seems that Hate Ku didn't explain the reason to the professor, and that's right, there is no way to talk about this kind of thing.

"Then, professor, do you know about the death of yourself on the other side?"

"I know... the crowd, but it's a pity that he is powerless. In the face of real malice, he has no strength to resist. But this way, I have a little understanding of the existence of the enemy and how those accidents happened before."

"Accident?"

"You are not considered an outsider. Lu Ning has helped me a lot, including the detection nodes. She handles it. Since she wants to help you as the main hub, I will do my best... Let's go out and talk. "Gai Sichong picked up a memory card, stretched out his hand and invited the two of them to walk into the small meeting room next door.

The three sat down in sequence, and Ge Shichong inserted the memory card into the equipment in the meeting room and started the projection.

"Let me make it clear first. Although you are essentially the same person, I know who Lu Ning is who has helped me a lot. Therefore, I will only tell you the information. In terms of actions, I will not let anyone assist you."

"This is enough. I don't have any credit here, and I won't ask for more." Lu Ning nodded.Gai Shichong was very satisfied with her attitude, and opened the campus map on the projector.

"The channel of the dream mirror needs to find the nodes that can resonate in all the worlds. Although this process is relatively cumbersome, we have collected enough information as much as possible and locked the nine best node positions."

"Why are there still nine?"

"These are nine positions that are not easy to reach. What do you think this correspondence shows?"

地图上出现了九个红点，分别位于B2天文实验楼、A5教学楼、E1大礼堂、游泳池、体育场、教师宿舍区、D1楼前公园、学生活动中心前广场和E0校史馆。

These nine locations don't have any rules at all, and they don't show any shape on the map, but Lu Ning saw the two locations and immediately understood what Gai Shichong meant.

"Where is the ruler of the nine worlds?"

"It should be said that they are guarding the place." Ge Shichong nodded, and with a swipe of his finger, nine blurred pictures appeared in the corresponding position. Those were the pictures taken by nine monsters of different shapes from a distance .

"They can also move, but they won't be too far away from the guarded place. There is no doubt that they are hindering the establishment of the Dream Mirror channel."

"Isn't it possible to build from another world?"

"The construction of the dream mirror channel requires a cornerstone, which we call the reference benchmark. Only when the space model is built on this basis can the appropriate resonance period be obtained. Due to the dimensional differences between multiple worlds, the three-dimensional worlds of each The parity between each other is not conserved, so the method of relative transformation cannot be used for datum positioning.”

"Simply speaking, there is only one node in a world?"

"That's right, if you want to leave, you can only build a dream mirror channel at the corresponding node in that world. There are other ways to escape, but it's not safe and depends on your luck. If you want to take a gamble, you can also try."

Lu Ning naturally didn't want to gamble.

Scenario missions do not include killing the rulers of each world, but as the exploration deepens, it is expected to always meet these powerful existences.

"Do you know the power of those monsters?"

"Qiang, we only know this." Ge Shichong said, "I will not send people to test the power of those monsters. I just tried to build them when some monsters were far away, but the monsters returned soon, so the construction It always fails. Thinking about it now, there should be other people here who are secretly intervening."

"Please tell me the specific location of the node, and how to build the dream mirror channel."

"Yes, I encourage anyone to try, but don't risk your own life...Even if you are split, life is still only once, and death will not let any individual go for this reason." Gai Shichong stood up and walked from the side He took down a document from the shelf, and took out a bound copy from it and handed it to Lu Ning.

"Your mental state doesn't look very good. Do you want to take a rest here? This underground facility is safe, and the elements will not be refreshed here." After finishing all this, Gai Shichong looked at Lu Ning and asked.

"Maybe...but I want a quiet place, thank you."

"I can only help you so much."

Under the professor's signal, Hen Ku took Lu Ning to the resting place.

Due to the need to free up a lot of space for experimental supplies and various devices, the rest area uses a capsule-style rest cabin, and there is no power supply. This area is basically dark and can only rely on the light from the front Know the way a little bit.

"You can choose a grid where no one is there to rest. I know you are still on guard. If you don't do this, you will not be me. But you can rest assured that I don't need my own victory, as long as Lu Ning can survive in the end." After bitterly bringing Lu Ning here, he pointed out how to use it and left, but what he said before leaving made Lu Ning a little embarrassed.

She found a cabin with the lights off and got in, her body relaxed, and she immediately felt drowsy.After careful calculation, it has been a long time since she had a sleep and rest, and this scene did not automatically restore her spirits like the blood disaster, she was really tired.

Upgrading... is really a double test of physical strength and will.

Vaguely, she fell asleep.

===================
The crimson sky is scattered with veins like blood vessels.

The walls and ground are also red, which looks reminiscent of muscle and blood, just like the anatomical diagrams seen in biology class.

The air was filled with a fishy smell, which was the smell of fresh blood mixed together.The steel bars that originally supported the building turned into hard bones at this moment, protruding from all parts of the wall, sharp and hideous.

This is a world like a nightmare. The feeling of oppression as if being inside a giant creature is almost suffocating. As far as the eye can see, walls of flesh and blood block all the surrounding entrances and exits.

Walking on the road are skinny humanoid monsters wearing broken red cloaks, top hats, black masks on their faces, and rapiers and shotguns in both hands.

If you get close to these monsters, they will not attack immediately, but salute first, as if this is a duel ceremony.But that doesn't mean you can stealthily use this gap to attack, if you do anything against their "etiquette", the superb swordsmanship and metal storm-like barrage will directly tear you apart.

"They used to be humans."

The blood-clothed hunter who can communicate before me is holding a glass of scarlet wine, and I can also see the clue from him.His skin had hardened and started to become thin, and his face was so stiff that he couldn't make any expressions.

"They are also our home. New hunters hunt old hunters, and then become new rangers. This is an eternal cycle."

"But where do new hunters come from?"

"Yeah, where did it come from..."

The blood-clothed hunter took a sip of wine, with some nostalgia in his tone.

"When I was born, there were still a lot of people in this world."

"If it doesn't continue, will it still become like this?"

"I do not know."

He laughed with difficulty, it was very strenuous for him to control the muscles of his face.

"But the rangers killed my friends, and I'm going to keep killing rangers until I become them."

"This behavior doesn't change anything, it just gets worse."

"Yeah...but we have no better choice."

The Scarlet Hunter drank the wine.

"At least after that, tradition and craftsmanship can still be seen from our remains."

After that conversation, a long time passed.

I saw him again later in the ruined street, no, it was it.

It was wearing a top hat, still holding the old-fashioned shotgun, and a rapier that was thirteen centimeters longer than ordinary people's equipment.

=============
Lu Ning woke up from the scarlet dream, but her mood was very calm.The closed and narrow space around her gave her a rare sense of security in the dark, even though it was just an illusion.

Her spirit has recovered a lot, and the fatigue on her body has also been released to a certain extent after sleeping. She doesn't know how long it has passed, but it certainly won't be very long, because she hasn't experienced the gradual change yet.

When Lu Ning walked along the corridor to the rest area outside, she found that Teng Zijian was already sitting there, tapping on a tablet.

"you're awake?"

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Teng Zijian raised his head and waved at Lu Ning.

"I recognize you..."

"You've met other me, haven't you? That's pretty good, it means that some of me are at least alive and doing well." Teng Zijian put the tablet on the table, "Do I have any companions?"

"Yes, Liu Shan, Uncle Bao, Lu Bin, Chen Qiguang..."

"They're all alive."

Lu Ning noticed that Teng Zijian's hands trembled slightly.

"You don't hate bitterness, do you?"

"Yes, I'm Jian Xin, I escaped here with door glue." Teng Zijian nodded.

"I remember Jianxin..."

"Suspiciousness, closeness and estrangement are gradually separated, and the heart is good at provoking interpersonal relationships, but I can't avoid my suspicious temper. I lost all my companions because of this." Teng Zijian smiled self-deprecatingly, "After being taken in here, I also Basically keep a distance from others, otherwise my suspicions will continue to worsen. Sure enough, a self with a seriously deviated personality cannot exist for a long time... Are you meeting Zhengshu?"

"Yes, we went through gradual changes together."

"If you can see him again, tell him to cherish those hard-won partners, and don't make irreversible mistakes because of a momentary soft-heartedness. This is definitely a problem that is prone to happen to him."

Teng Zijian paused, and then added: "If you can see Liu Shan, tell her that I like her."

"...It's best not to let me tell you about this kind of thing."

"Ha, just take it as a complaint... you're leaving, aren't you?"

Lu Ning nodded. She glanced at the clock in the lounge. Dawn is coming, which means that she will go through a gradual change to transfer the world. She will leave this underground facility, most of which are excavated manually, and change the world. I'm afraid it's not going to be buried in the ground.

"Take this, as evidence, and also as a self-defense weapon."

Teng Zijian took out a narrow sword from under the seat and threw it to Lu Ning. It was the same shape as the one Teng Zijian had seen before.

"There are three buttons on the hilt of the sword. After holding down the sword, press the green button to draw the sword driven by air. The blue button can spray turbulent air from the blade. If the red button is used, remember to find a merchant to recharge it. It is a one-time ignited slash .The first two functions can be reused as long as the scabbard is retracted. Holding this can also prove that you have seen me."

"Thank you." Lu Ning was in need of a long weapon, so she nodded to him.

"I will probably stay here and never leave. There is no need to tell him where I am, lest he come and kill me, it will be difficult to deal with... I wish you a smooth journey."

Teng Zijian waved his hand lazily, and at this moment, Hen Ku also heard the voice and came over.

"Got to go?"

"Yes."

"When the right time comes, I'll go back and find you. We attack carefully. If nothing else happens, she represents Lu Ning's killing execution ability, which is the strongest point."

Lu Ning picked up her backpack and nodded to show that she understood.

"Before I leave, I have something to ask you."

"Say."

"Our time is not synchronized, is it?"

"If you mean the time of entering the nine worlds here, it is indeed asynchronous. The time difference between the worlds will completely separate us, but this is not a time trick, it is just an error caused by the difference in the time flow of each world. .”

"The ones who come in first take the lead in intelligence and development, and those who come in later won't get any compensation." Lu Ning said.

"It's up to you to find it yourself, and I don't know any compensation for those who are behind in time."
