Returning from the abyss

Chapter 380 Crisis Enlightenment
Now that the enemy has run away, the cooperation has temporarily come to an end.Both of them were killed by Lu Ning, and Cherun County naturally recognized her contribution, so they also told Lu Ning the second half of the information, and then everyone separated.

"Lu, where are we going?"

"Go to the Garden of Spring." Lu Ning gave a simple answer to Maoyou once again, and then asked, "What have you gained?"

"There is only one one-star mission." Maoyou shook his head, "It's just behind the snowman's big room, it's a blind spot, I took it directly."

"What mission? What are you talking about?" Ping Na was a little confused.

"It's nothing. Didn't Cheron County say that there are two tasks that can be used for trading? If they are too far away and they can't master them, why use them for trading? Then only the places in the courtyard with no entrances and exits have task machines. Knowing this, I asked Maoyou to find a chance to get the mission back, but I didn't expect him to just hang around outside."

"Hey, that house is a dead end. If there are some monsters in it, I'm not in danger? Or a place that leads in all directions is the most suitable for me." Maoyou smiled, "And this task is so easy to complete."

"What content?"

"Survived a crisis. Since I escaped just now, now I just need to wait until the crisis is over. The one-star mission is still as simple as that." Maoyou said proudly, "Even if you say it's worthless, you can earn one star." It’s one star, right? Ah! Lu, you still haven’t said why we are going to the Garden of Spring!”

"Autopsy." Lu Ning replied.

This is one of the reasons. In addition, Lu Ning is also very concerned about the information given by Chelun County.

They are half-informed participants. The reason why they say this is because they know what kind of experiment the Four Seasons Garden is, and they also know the dangers involved.But apart from being informed in advance, they were not informed of the specific content at all, and even came in after losing consciousness when they came, and they hadn't really seen what the main brain looked like.

Of course, Cheron County did not keep the part that he knew in advance.

[The purpose of Four Seasons Garden is to "reappear" some history, and complete some situational simulations through small-scale simulation and control.At the same time, some psychological and sociological judgments will be added to it. Even I don't know the specific purpose, after all, I am just a salesman. 】

The clerk in charge of them in Cheron County only provided this information.

[The dangers that existed in our past will return to the garden in a special form, and you should also understand the dangers. Even a top salesman like me cannot guarantee that I will be able to get rid of those terrible "pasts". survived.If you can really recognize these, you can sign this agreement. 】

Chelun County didn't say why they signed the agreement, and Lu Ning didn't ask either.But after knowing this, she has a certain understanding of the actions of the mastermind.

Since he has never really met someone from the "mastermind", so far Lu Ning can only look at the mastermind as a whole.Salesperson—this is a notable term. After all, Lu Ning was also directly brought into the garden by a salesperson. It seems that they are the main force for the mastermind to communicate with the outside world.

"If there is someone with a mastermind in this garden..."

Thinking of this possibility, Lu Ning couldn't help frowning.What will the person who comes out of the main brain look like?She has seen some people in the pavilion, but it can't be used as a reference at all, because the mastermind is still a completely closed mystery so far, and there is no point of comparison.

The elevator closed and opened again, and the three of them returned to the familiar Spring Garden again, but this time there happened to be a black shadow advancing at high speed in the corridor on the side after the door was opened!

"Wow!" Maoyou bumped Lu Ning and Ping Na, and the three of them rolled to the side of the elevator. In the confusion, Lu Ning saw that it was a cyborg with huge circular saws in both hands. Covered with large and small scars, and also covered with a lot of flesh and blood, this guy seemed to have completely lost his mind. After the three of Lu Ning rolled to the side, he still did not change direction, and rushed straight into the elevator, and then the elevator door closed. .

"What the hell!" Maoyou cursed, as if he didn't see what it was at all.

"Why are you panicking!" Ping Na finally couldn't hold back her anger, "Every time I encounter any danger, I am the first to panic! This time, Lu and I are also implicated! Can you be a little bit promising!"

"Hey, I'm sorry, I can't help it, I can't help it..." Maoyou immediately flinched, and apologized to Ping Na with a smile. He also knew that he was wrong.

Lu Ning patted the grass leaves on her body, stared at the elevator, and walked away step by step.The sound insulation effect of this elevator is surprisingly good, at least now I can't hear any noise inside.

At this time, a group of panting people came late in the corridor.

"Where did that guy go? Huh? It's you..."

The person who ran over shouted and raised the weapon in his hand, and was slightly taken aback when he saw the three of Lu Ning.Maoyou immediately pointed at him and shouted: "Are you the follower of that...so?"

"It's a student."

Ji Changhao, who was barely holding his breath, also ran over, followed by a dozen people, almost all of whom were injured, and several other students were among them, and none of them was missing.

"Mr. Ji." Lu Ning raised her hand to say hello, "Did you expel that cyborg just now?"

"How can we expel it." Ji Changhao smiled wryly, "Where did it go?"

"I crashed into the elevator. I don't know what's going on inside. After all, it will be locked for 5 minutes." Lu Ning pointed to the elevator door, "Your team has grown a lot."

"People who came together impromptu, and even sacrificed a few." Ji Changhao turned his head and greeted, "The danger is temporarily lifted, everyone is a little relieved."

It could be seen that Ji Changhao was quite prestigious in the eyes of these people, and those people immediately stopped in their tracks, and some simply leaned on the wall and gasped for breath.

Lu looked at the few students who still came to Ji Changhao's side, turned on the instrument and confirmed from the crisis options that there was only one monster left, then nodded to Ji Changhao and said, "Did Mr. Ji discover anything during this time?" ?”

"It's not a discovery, but we found the weather unlock switch of this garden corridor, but the name is a bit weird."

"What? What's weird?"

"The two switches we found are [Spring - Upper Corridor - Weather Unlock] and [Spring - Inner Corridor - Weather Unlock]"

"What about the lower and outer layers?" Maoyou spoke quickly, directly asking the question in Lu Ning's mind.

"I didn't find it. And the corresponding position of those two buttons is exactly the range of the entire outer square corridor. I don't know why it is named like this..." Ji Changhao shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Let's talk about it in detail in the next room." Lu Ning pointed to the round room beside her.

After a little consideration, Ji Changhao agreed.

After everyone took their seats in the small room, Lu Ning asked, "Mr. Ji should have some guesses."

"That kind of thing is just random speculation. What really matters is the coming second crisis."

"Have you got some ideas?"

"I am also a teacher anyway." Ji Changhao patted his chest, "I can teach students more than just methods."

Lu Ning glanced at the four young men and women around Ji Changhao, and said, "Shouldn't you introduce me? We met twice, and they were both in this spring garden. We should have some fate."

"Hehe, if it doesn't waste your time."

Ji Changhao's four students are definitely not at the level of ordinary people. As long as you observe carefully, you can see that the injuries on these few people in the group of more than a dozen people are the least important.

In the beginning, the fastest running boy, who was actually very honest, was Makoto Ninomiya. The weapon he used was an iron pestle, and the various uneven marks on it proved that he had experienced many battles.The girl Li Yuan Qiuye, who looks dignified and has a gentle attitude, is the same girl who showed Lu Ning the task of assassinating monsters before, using a short halberd.The other girl with short hair and a bit indifferent demeanor, but who respected Ji Changhao very much was Rinko Konogami, holding two reduced lances about one meter in length in her hands.Finally, Gan Xu, a boy with uneven hair length and even dyed two nails, but a very tall and straight figure, greeted everyone with a drawn-out ending sound, and soon chatted with Maoyou, very talkative.

"Does Mr. Ji have any ideas about the crisis?"

"The first crisis, 'Sunset'; and this crisis, 'Rust'." Ji Changhao habitually began to speak as if a teacher was giving a lecture, but he soon realized it and sped up his speech.

"There has been a long period of chaotic periods in history. During this period, whether it is a change of power or frequent disasters, there are always countless people and events that have left their names. 'Sunset' and 'Rust' The names all come from historical events."

This is a blind area of ​​knowledge that the completely uneducated trio of alleys and streets cannot touch.

"Could you please elaborate?"

"Hey, it's not that I don't want to share, it's just that I bring so many people with me..."

"We will exchange some information about the pavilion and the mastermind, or you may need detailed information on the third-level props." Lu Ning didn't know what Ji Changhao meant, and immediately gave her own conditions.

Ji Changhao was obviously satisfied with this, so he said: "The incident of 'Xizhao' should refer to the night ban group that occurred in the oldest chaotic era. Words like 'burning star sinks' appeared on the wall Basically, it can be locked. During that time, this killer group called Night Forbidden haunted everyone at night, indiscriminately attacking everyone who went out at night. This incident lasted for nearly four years, and finally it was the Inquisition that made the group disappear. Corresponding to the two monsters that appeared in the crisis, aren't they very similar?"

"Executioner and killer? But such a combination is actually very common." Lu Ning frowned.

"Then let's talk about the second one, 'rust'. This should be said to be the artificial intelligence destruction plan. The original code name of this plan was 'rust'. At that time, some of the machines built on artificial intelligence had undergone self-evolution and breakthroughs. The restricted situation caused a lot of panic. Therefore, under the social referendum, it is planned to implement this plan, and at the same time carry out the research and development of biomechanics as a substitute, with the main goal of improving the functions of human beings. And the two emerging in this crisis This kind of monster is precisely the machine and the machine transforming people."

"Even if you say so, what's the use of such information?"

"The usefulness is that I can at least predict what the next crisis will be based on this." Ji Changhao showed a somewhat smug expression, but he couldn't see much smugness on his tired old face.

"Really?" Lu Ning raised her eyebrows.

"The rust number is four. If this number is in chronological order, then the normal crisis may also be the same. Then divide history according to major events and the evolution of the times, and the second crisis should also correspond to a major historical period. "Ji Changhao crossed his hands slightly, his eyes stern, "This is exactly what I want to remind you to be more careful. The second crisis should correspond to the Xuanyi Building—Nine Lights Pagoda."

Lu Ning has no history at all in her memory, so she can't hear the seriousness.Not only her, even Ji Changhao's students didn't seem to be attending the class. Most of them looked blank at the moment, only Ninomiya nodded vigorously.

Seeing everyone's reaction, what did Ji Changhao not understand?He sighed, and said in a tone of hating iron but not steel: "I want you to memorize more knowledge in normal times. You only know how to fight and kill... The chaos is over, and there is only Xuanyi Building left in the world. The four generations of landlords have frightened the world with terror." 200 years, but it also brought 200 years of peace, not a prosperous age, but the last peace. I don't think they can really reproduce the power of Xuanyilou back then, just in case..."

"You also mentioned the Jiuyao Pagoda." Lu Ning reminded.

"Jiuyao Pagoda is the only external agency of Xuanyi Building. It is actually a bit similar to the mastermind, and the final destruction of Xuanyi Building is due to the fact that the strength of Jiuyao Tower has expanded to a certain extent. The successor after the death of the fourth generation owner It cannot be completely controlled in the short term, and the external environment has deteriorated to the point where it cannot be further suppressed for many years."

"Since you know this history so well, are there any notable figures in the Xuanyi Tower, or the Nine Obsidies Pagoda?"

Ji Changhao froze for a moment, then stroked his short beard and smiled wryly.

"Every."

"what?"

"Every person who leaves a name in history is a noteworthy person. The fourth generation of landlords, with the help of Jiuyao, the Xuanyue is in the sky, and the world is my soil. Having said that, I suddenly feel that if they can really let Xuanyi Lou reappeared, which is also good.”

"is it?"

Lu Ning looked at Ji Changhao, he was very involved in his narration, but Lu Ning could see that he didn't want this wish to come true at all.
