Returning from the abyss

Chapter 35 Opening

Danma, a city near the border, was a poor city with closed traffic, a high degree of autonomy, and a mixture of ethnic groups 50 years ago.Backward ideology and economy have limited the development of the small town, and at the same time brought about a high crime rate. Although it was temporarily prosperous because of the discovery of a gold mine, it was once again discovered after the discovery that most of the veins were actually pyrite. decayed.

The turning point happened 50 years ago.

The suspected UFO flying object fell into the mountains southwest of the small town, and this phenomenon was noticed by many people, which immediately attracted attention.That era was also the era when the fantasy of aliens was the most prosperous. Under this impetus, an expedition team organized by the state entered Danma.

Although UFO-related news gradually fell silent after that, the national attention brought more than just one team.In order to facilitate the transportation of instruments, the first road to Danma was built.The undeveloped scenery here has also attracted a lot of attention since then, and the special products in the mountains have become famous with the opening of traffic.In the next few decades, the development of Danma moved forward almost at a rapid speed.

[Your tutor Fan Xiaoyun is instructing your senior sister Yan Yue to complete a thesis on urban development and folk culture. Cultural background and characteristics, decided to take Yan Yue to Danma to find out.The two have been away for more than a month. Except for the safety message you will receive from Yan Yue in the first two weeks, there has been no news since then.Summer vacation is coming, you, who are worried about your seniors and mentors, made an excuse to travel and went to Danma by car.

You are a sophomore in college, quiet and studious.Since Senior Sister Yan Yue helped introduce a tutor for you, I am grateful to her.However, at present, he and Fan Xiaoyun are only in acquaintance relationship, and they are not particularly familiar with each other.

Your identity is, Hidden Man.

Keep your own secrets, complete at least two personal goals, and the rest of the secret people die, you can choose to leave.

The way to leave is more than ten kilometers away from Danma city.

It belongs to the secret person, Lu Ning's secret:
50. Your grandfather once performed border guard work in Danma, and was also one of the witnesses of the UFO incident [-] years ago.For this reason, you clearly know that what Danma crashed back then was indeed a saucer-shaped aircraft, and you blocked the news for some unknown reasons.

[-]. You learned from your senior sister Yan Yue that the tutor Fan Xiaoyun seems to have visited Danma several times before this subject, and the reason is unknown.In addition, Yan Yue also told you before leaving that if you don't send back her safety information, don't tell outsiders about your teacher-student relationship with Fan Xiaoyun.

[-]. Some diaries and notes left by my grandmother record information related to "outside". Although these descriptions seem vague, they leave a deep impression on you.By studying some records that are suspected to be talismans, you seem to have mastered certain unconventional knowledge.And this knowledge also gives you the vague ability to peer into the unseen.

[-]. When you searched for information about Danma before you set off, you found a rather secretive forum, and learned from it the top ten strange situations that have appeared in Danma's development in recent years.Your intuition tells you that these situations are unusual and have a connection to you.

[-]. The most direct and important reason for you to go to Danma is to investigate the cause of your mother's death, but because the circumstances of your mother's death are too weird, you have to suspect that it is related to the mysterious phenomenon in your mother's family, and your father is not The lack of grief is also suspicious.

The goals that Lu Ning needs to accomplish on this trip:

[-]. Find the mentor Fan Xiaoyun.

Second, find the senior sister Yan Yue.

[-]. Take Yan Yue out of Danma's range.

50. Explore the secrets that were covered up [-] years ago.

[-]. To clarify the cause of death of the mother.

The relevant information is attached. 】

When the bus passed through a long dark tunnel, Lu Ning finished reading the contents of the first letter.Not long after, all the lights on the car suddenly went out, and darkness completely enveloped the inside of the car.Lu Ning didn't panic, and calmly folded the paper in her hand and stuffed it back into the envelope. After waiting for a while, a ray of light illuminated the inside of the car.

Between the darkness and the light, Lu Ning was already on a long-distance travel bus.

A woman in casual clothes was taking a nap by the window, and there were tourists, old and young, sitting behind her, some wearing tour group hats.

After a long ride in the car, many people began to feel sleepy, and the smell of food was still wafting in the car.Lu Ning picked up the envelope, and suddenly found that the content on it had changed, and it was no longer the same as the previous mission introduction.

[Personal information has been transferred to the mobile terminal.Your luggage is a brown travel backpack overhead and a dark blue plastic suitcase in the car's luggage compartment.Good luck with your personal ID, bank cards, etc. in your pocket. 】

After Lu Ning read these few lines, they also disappeared.

However, those things attached to the back are still there.

Including a printed summary of the top ten strange events in the forum, several incomprehensible transcripts in the grandmother's notes, a photocopy of the parents together, a photocopy of the grandfather when he was young, and several photocopies of newspaper clippings.

The afternoon sun made people lazy and sleepy, Lu Ning slowly leaned back on the seat, put the envelope in her arms, and squinted her eyes as if she wanted to sleep.

Outside the window, a huge billboard flashed across.

【Danma, the home of your dreams! 】

In midsummer, the weather in the south is hot and humid, but Danma, which is located in a mountainous and forested area, has a slight drop in heat, and even needs to wear long sleeves for travel in the morning and evening.

The long-distance bus arrived at the hotel near the edge of the city in Danma, and the passengers got off one after another. A group of middle-aged people who looked like a tour group were the first to take their luggage and check in at the hotel. Lu Ning looked at it while waiting for the luggage. Take a look around the hotel - it looks like a modern city, and there are many exotic buildings.

"Master, is there anything worth visiting here in Danma?" Lu Ning leaned over and asked while the driver was smoking beside him.

"Danma, there are many places to play, the Municipal Garden, the Clock Memorial Hall, the Avery Cathedral, the Cuiyan Nature Exhibition Hall, these are the attractions in the urban area. If you go to the mountain forest area, you can also see the villa area and The scenery of the hunting ground. If you have the money to rent a villa there and live there for two months, tsk tsk."

The driver said, smacking his tongue enviously.

Lu Ning thanked her politely. At this time, the luggage was almost packed. She found her suitcase easily and hurried into the hotel lobby.

The arrival of a large number of customers made the counter seem very busy. Several lines lined up. Amidst the noisy voices, someone suddenly said in a low voice near Lu Ning:
"A friend from the distribution center?"

The sudden sound was indeed unexpected, but Lu Ning didn't seem to hear it at all, and went straight to the newspapers and travel information shelf provided by the hotel in the original direction, and took a few small tourist attraction brochures.

The man who said that sentence on the other side shrugged and walked back to the rest area.Sitting on a circle of brown sofas were two young men who looked to be in their 20s. One of them gestured his thumbs down to the man who came back, and said with a smile, "It's so shameful, I didn't find anyone."

"There's no harm in trying."

At this distance, Lu Ning could no longer hear what they were talking about, but just based on what she said just now, she could think that these three people were all from the distribution center.

It's just that this time it's different from the ghost villa.Not only because of the number of people, but also because the type of mission is likely to be confrontational and secret.

Among the four types of tests that Tier [-] may encounter, survival is the simplest. Although there is a lot of external pressure, everyone is on the same front. If internal disharmony can be discarded, sacrifices can be controlled within a certain range Inside.

Confrontation means that each tourist will be given a predetermined camp. There are more than two camps in the entire test field, and the goal is very likely to be completely opposite. In such a situation, kill all the tourists in the opposite camp. It is an inevitable choice in 90.00% confrontational scenarios.

On top of this, if you count secrets, the difficulty will be raised by another level-secrets will make tourists fight on their own, and even people with the same goal as you may stab you in the back because of their own secrets.Because it is impossible to know where the danger comes from after the secret is revealed, everyone will be more cautious, sensitive, suspicious, and even would rather kill the wrong one than let it go.

As for hunting, the external danger continues to increase, and there is no sign of that yet.

Lu Ning's letter clearly stated that all other hidden people need to die. She is not sure how many hidden people are in total, nor how many camps there are, but this condition is enough for her to send any person from the distribution center to estimated as the enemy.

Just when all kinds of thoughts were tossing and turning in her mind, the phone suddenly vibrated.

This time it was not a mysterious "official" message, but a message received from the terminal's friend list.

[I'm in Danma, I received a reply. 】

The note is Shu Xingruo.

Lu Ning doesn't have many friends, apart from the three in the same dormitory, only Pang Shaotong is the only one.According to the information I learned before, communication can only be realized when they are in the same distribution center or scene. From this point of view, luck really hit me this time.

But, confrontational scenes... are they really good?
Lu Ning hesitated for a moment, but still sent a reply to Shu Xingruo.

【I am also here. 】

[I received a message from another person, I can meet up when I have time. 】

Soon, Shu Xingruo heard back.

Lu Ning looked at this message with a slightly dignified expression.

Shu Xingruo's character is not casual, but he does speak and act in a somewhat informal manner. Even if this character is reflected in the use of information tools to chat, he will not have such a tone.

"So...she is in a state where information is being monitored now? Although it is not particularly strict, be careful not to expose too much information. The other person is obviously Cheng Wuling. This information can be used directly to reply to the two of us, At the same time, don't reveal any information about us...do you need to be so cautious?"

Just as he was thinking, a text message from Cheng Wuling was sent.

[If Shu Xing is in trouble, I will find her first, and be careful not to reveal my identity. 】

After Lu Ning replied "OK", she went to queue, and quickly booked a single room on the tenth floor of the hotel.She has enough money in her card, at least for a short time, she doesn't have to worry about financial problems.

After coming to the room to put down her things, Lu Ning immediately connected to the hotel's wireless network and started searching for Danma's local news.

[Frost Day Celebration is about to start, all preparations will be disclosed to Mayor Wenhai]

[Mysterious special guests arrive in Danma, taking stock of the stars who have arrived at previous celebrations]

[Fresh beasts are found in the forest of Mufeng Mountain, please do not step into the depths of the forest]

【Danma tourism reaches another peak】
