Returning from the abyss

Chapter 328 Rain Master
Luo Xiao knew that he had met his opponent.

When ordinary people meet people like her, they usually try their best to keep them steady, and their momentum loses imperceptibly.And Lu Ning didn't care about any threats from her at all, and based on her own judgment, she prioritized protecting herself.

If she is soft-hearted, she can still threaten with hostages, but according to various rumors, Lu Ning is a cold-hearted person, and she probably doesn't care about the life and death of these hostages at all. If she endangers herself, she may kill them all before herself.

"It seems that I was right?"

Lu Ning took two steps back, Luo Xiao held the blast button between her fingers, but did not press it.

"Then, you can continue to play by yourself, but be careful when you are killed by a surprise attack."

"Do you threaten me?"

"It's not necessarily me who attacked you, who wants you to die the most in this scene...you know?"

You are very happy to blow up others, but when you encounter the trap you set, it will probably not be so easy.

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she turned and ran out.

When she returned to the lobby of the library, she was sure that Luo Xiao really didn't install any extra bombs.And just now she couldn't get close to Luo Xiao, who was surrounded by bombs. Once this kind of person explodes, he is more dangerous than anything else.

But as soon as he ran near the gate, Lu Ning stopped.

"Not right?"

There should be eight people left at the door, the six brought by Luo Xiao, plus the attacker and the gatekeeper.When she struck, she didn't aim at the vital point, so there shouldn't be a single sound in such a short period of time.

Getting a little closer, Lu Ning saw the corpses of the people whose wrists had been cut off before....

They looked like they had been sliced ​​by some extremely sharp blade and turned into a neat pile of thin slices.The width of each slice is exactly one centimeter thick, and the muscles and bones inside are perfectly cut, as complete and precise as a cross-section.

The blood stopped flowing at the moment of the cutting, so apart from the blood from the severed wrist, everything about these people remained intact, so complete that putting all the slices together would even make one think that this person would come back to life.

The two people who guarded the door and sneaked up also met the same fate.The only difference is that the gatekeeper rushed in from the gate from the perspective of the falling body, and shouted loudly, but the sound should have been covered by the previous explosion, Lu Ning did not hear.

Such a bizarre death made Lu Ning's scalp tingle, and she thought of something for a moment, and quietly glanced at the sky outside from the window on the side of the gate.

A tall black figure that was still eye-catching in the gloomy torrential rain was receding, and those features hanging from the body like strips of cloth could not be more obvious.In this scene, only this monster should not be provoked casually.

"Master Yu...passed by here?"

It was the first time for Lu Ning to see what kind of people were killed in the hands of the scene master. She finally understood why the professor still carried out these plans secretly after planning for a long time, and why those more ambitious core members acted secretly.

After all, the most frightening existence in the final scene is not these people who planned the conspiracy, but these aborigines with overwhelming strength.

The rain master gradually walked away, Lu Ning didn't dare to delay, and ran into the rain curtain again.

===========
On the D1 floor, after going through many scenes, Lu Ning finally returned to this place.It is a good thing that the preservation status of Stormworld is relatively complete, and the probability of finding useful information here is higher.

She walked into the building, and there was still a dangerous atmosphere in the dark corridor, but Lu Ning was no longer in the cautious state when she first entered this world.

The target is the principal's office upstairs.

Since there was a problem in the world here, the principal's office should have retained the state of the year—even so, many newly built buildings in the school still exist in the nine worlds here, and there are certain differences on both sides. synchronization.Combined with the materials of the sixth experimental group previously found on the D1 floor, it is obvious that the data items have been preserved, which means that the principal's office is also in the state when the "principal" used it.

The route up the stairs is not smooth, there are many monsters in the rainstorm world, and they are good at sneak attacks from the shadows.In addition, there are some weird special abilities, and Lu Ning noticed obvious problems on the way up the stairs.

The path is elongated.

It's not infinite, but as Lu Ning counts silently in her heart, the number of stairs to go upstairs is increasing, and once she stops, everything will return to normal.

"What else..."

She concentrated and continued to walk up, but this time she slowed down significantly, to see what happened to the stairs.

But until she went up to the first floor, she still didn't find anything wrong.

"Sixteen steps, I walked a total of... 25 steps." Lu Ning stood at the corner of the stairs on this floor, and did not continue to go up, but first counted the number of steps going up.

There are a total of twenty steps, so the number of steps going down is almost the same. The number of steps I walked must be wrong, but where is the problem?What is the purpose of this attack?
She continued to walk up, listening to the sound of rain outside, and paying attention to the steps under her feet.

33 steps.

Not the correspondence of quantitative relations, the steps—

"it's here."

Lu Ning raised her head abruptly, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, and the micro-punch that she grabbed exerted the power of the last round of bullets, hitting ink blobs on the ceiling.

"Gah!"

An ugly cry sounded from above, and then the entire ceiling began to squirm, and the black shadow quickly distorted into a weird pattern, just like the thing I met when I first came to this world.

This thing is a shadow, not only on top of Lu Ning's head, but at the same time, a second distorted black shadow is also separated from the elongated shadow under her feet due to the light above her head.

"From that time on..." Lu Ning threw the gun aside, drew out the dagger and swiped at the ground, the shadow also began to twist, screaming sharply, which was very unpleasant.

But these monsters don't stop there.

They were not recorded by Melgan, Harold, or Sodom. The stories of the world of heavy rain are full of all kinds of bizarre and strange colors. Perhaps there are too many, and they alone cannot record them all.

Not long after the shadow twisted, Lu Ning suddenly felt a pain in her body, and a pain like a cut in her ankle, but when she looked down, she found that there was no injury.

"Illusions? Are these things..."

"Close your eyes!"

A sharp shout interrupted Lu Ning's conjecture, and then the strong wind came, and a crossbow arrow passed in front of her and was nailed into the wall. Lu Ning quickly closed her eyes, and then the light exploded, and the shadow screamed. When the light bloomed, it disappeared, and then everything around it slowly dimmed.

"Cedar?"

The voice at that moment just now made Lu Ning know who the person who made the shot was, but did Liu Shan go upstairs?
"Who are you? Why do you know me?"

Liu Shan asked coldly.

Lu Ning raised her head and saw Liu Shan standing upstairs, and she could clearly see the difference between her and Zhengshu Liu Shan: the heavy crossbow was set up by her with one hand, and the hand that set up the crossbow stretched from the elbow down. It's a robotic arm.The attire on his body is a tan waterproof blouse, an expedition hat with a dim yellow light on it, a huge travel bag on his back, and two dart-type pulse bombs buckled under his other intact hand.

It is worth noting that there is a large burn scar on her right cheek. I don't know if it happened at the same time as her arm. From the appearance alone, this Yanshan has a lot of experience.

"My name is Lu Ning. I've heard of you. The person who told me your name gave me this."

Because she didn't know whether Liu Shan knew about the split, Lu Ning lied half-truth, picked up the narrow sword Teng Zijian gave her in her hand, and showed it to Liu Shan.

"Why do you have this?"

Seeing the narrow sword Liu Shan was slightly surprised, and took half a step back.

"Teng Zijian, do you know him?" Lu Ning decided to fool him to the end.

"He died. I saw him die with my own eyes. He was killed by the Rain Master." Liu Shan's voice sank, "This sword has been destroyed. Why is it still in your hand? No, you can buy it from the merchant. buy there..."

"Even if I bought it from a merchant, why would I know that Teng Zijian owned it, and why would I say his name to answer your question?"

Lu Ning knew that Liu Shan had no time to take care of the problem at this moment, so she began to press her step by step with words.

"Teng Zijian is not dead, he just got separated from you. He gave this to me so that I can convince you of my identity when I meet you. And why are you here? What happened just now?"

Liu Shan didn't quite know what was going on for a moment, and when she heard Lu Ning's question, she subconsciously replied: "I found something...why should I tell you?"

"Then why did you save me just now?"

"What reason do you need to save people? You are really strange. I saw someone being entangled by the shadow master. Of course, I would help to disperse it, but this cannot change the fact that you are very suspicious!"

"Then I'll tell you my purpose. I'll investigate the principal's office."

Lu Ning changed the subject and quickly took the initiative of the conversation.

"What? Principal's office?"

"I have encountered two attacks before. One of them referred to their leader as 'principal' and the other as 'engineer'. I plan to investigate the situation related to these two people before making a plan. So come to the principal's office here to have a look."

"Principal's office? You can pick up the code name yourself, and what's the point of forming a clique in a place like this?"

"If you don't collect clues, you won't be able to figure it out anyway, right? It's better to act, anyway, this place is not so dangerous."

"You don't even know how to deal with Master Shadow."

"They're afraid of the light, but you can't kill them all, can you?"

Liu Shan pursed her lower lips, and stepped aside to get away from the stairs: "Come on, I also want to see what tricks the principal's office can find, it's best to get me out of this damn place as soon as possible."

Her vigilance was still very heavy, and the mechanical arm holding the heavy crossbow had not been put down. Lu Ning put away the weapon and walked up the stairs in this state. This time, the number of steps was finally normal.

"Master Shadow just..."

"It is a monster with a two-way feedback mechanism. Part of your behavior will be passed on to it, and part of it will be passed on to you. So when you go upstairs, part of the steps will be shared by it. This is The first characteristic is its attack method, if you don’t notice it will consume a lot of physical strength, and attacking them will cause some impact on yourself, and the accumulation of these impacts will be fatal.”

"But it doesn't sound like a very dangerous monster."

"Corresponding to this is that they are difficult to kill, they can only be expelled, and if one is not careful, he will be entangled again." Liu Shan's eyes seem to say "You better be careful."

"Thank you for your advice."

"I don't know how you survived." She said angrily.

Lu Ning didn't care either. After all, Liu Shan was originally a cold-faced and warm-hearted person. It's not bad to have such a mentality after going through various changes.

"Your arm..."

"Master Yu. I was only affected at the edge, otherwise I would have been sliced, so I don't believe what you said about Teng Zijian. I saw them all die with my own eyes." Liu Shan gritted her teeth.

"Why are you going to provoke Rain Master?"

"When we were avoiding another powerful monster, we accidentally bumped into its action route. The Rain Master will kill all creatures within a certain range under our feet, even monsters. I was a long-range position at the time, so the distance was a little farther a little."

Lu Ning was silent for a moment before saying:
"Feel sorry."

"It's nothing, I just want you to explain clearly later."

Facts have proved that no matter which Liushan it is, the understanding of the monsters here is the same extensive, as if they also chose the heavy crossbow as a weapon.This reduced the resistance Lu Ning encountered when going upstairs, and soon came to the floor where the principal's office was located.

The design of this floor is also quite special. The principal's office is a very large room, which is connected with several nearby rooms to form a large office-living integrated room.After Lu Ning broke the lock with the old method, the two walked into the room, and the first reaction was spaciousness.

This office is enough to be described as a luxury. The main room that enters the door is a large living room, and there are doors on the left and right sides connecting different rooms.On the left is the study plus daily office supplies, and on the right is the living room.It's not a problem to live here alone on this floor alone.

It is worth noting that there is a portrait hanging in the living room, an authentic realistic ink painting, which shows a middle-aged man with a serious expression, and a nameplate is hung under the frame.

[University of Aviation Electronics, Principal, Xu ██, School Calendar 1-Present]

"The name was crossed out?" Liu Shan also noticed this problem.

"This is the portrait of the principal. Have you been to the principal's office before? Theoretically, there should be portraits of previous principals here, but now there is only this one, and the name is scratched to conceal it." Lu Ning looked up at the man, but Suddenly, I felt the lips of the man in the painting move slightly.

"Did he move his mouth just now?"
