Returning from the abyss

Chapter 403 The Shape Outside the World

Lu Ning was in an empty and hot corridor.She looked at the shapes of the surrounding rooms and determined that this was the Garden of Summer.

That's exactly what Osmond says she "discovers" at the end.The overall structure of the Four Seasons Garden.

There are "upper corridors" in winter and spring, "inner corridors" in all four gardens, and "lower corridors" in autumn and summer.Finally there is "true north" in the Winter Gardens indicated by the positions of the Big Dipper and Polaris.Putting all these information together, Lu Ning can roughly piece together a garden shape in a vertical state, and the position corresponding to the Polaris is directly above.Then in a clockwise direction, there are four gardens in winter, spring, summer and autumn.

And the so-called "elevator room" is just a space transmission device, so the elevators at the four corners don't need to make any sound when they are running.The abnormal gravity conditions of this vertical garden had already failed when Lu Ning and Osmond fell, and the two fell rapidly in a direction parallel to the entire garden floor. The new moon teleported back to the inside of the garden, but Osmond couldn't use skills while the sticker was in effect, so he could only fall into the unknown dark void outside the garden.

Below the Garden of Spring is the Garden of Summer, which is exactly where Lu Ning is now, the inner corridor.

The crisis is still not over, and Osmond's points are not counted on Lu Ning.Canglan and Cupino are still alive, and there are still seven servants.

When Lu Ning got up from the ground, she happened to see someone quietly watching from the opposite door.

It was William Heath.

"It's you?" Of course William remembered Lu Ning, and he had a deep impression when he dealt with the two plant leaders before.

"William Heath." Lu Ning said the other party's name, "Levanska asked me to find you."

"Oh?" William raised his eyebrows, "What did he ask you to do with me?"

"He said that you analyzed some key information about the crisis, and I hope I can assist you to complete the analysis. It's just that I didn't meet you before the crisis, so I don't know how your progress is."

"You look like the battle just ended. Did you meet the leader? How are the casualties?"

"There is no death on my side." Lu Ning closed Xinyue and walked over to William, "Why? This is very important?"

"That's right, I have explained the triggering conditions of the No. 16 trap crisis 'thoughts' before." William let Lu Ning into that room. In this not-so-large triangular room, there are several instruments and a computer. , and in the middle is a one-star mission machine.There are some food and levels stacked in the corner of the room, which should be taken from the supply point.

"You've been here all this time?"

"Well, here's the blind spot."

After William answered, he pointed to a mattress on the floor: "Do you want to take a rest? You look tired."

"...Is it so obvious?"

"Although you are here to help me, if you don't rest, you may die suddenly, and you will consume a lot of mental and physical energy." William put his pockets and walked towards the computer, "This room will not be directly attacked by traps and crises. , we have nothing to worry about as long as we keep quiet. Until the next crisis 'new star' arrives, we can rest a little longer here."

"Thank you so much."

Lu Ning didn't lie down, she sat on the mattress and leaned against the wall, closed her eyes: "Tell me something you know, I'll also understand the situation."

"The trigger conditions of the sixteen traps are different. Except for those that have been activated, I spent a little time analyzing the rest. Among these traps, the two most special are No. 16 and No. 16. Others The trap is an insinuation from some historical events, but these two are almost fabricated out of thin air, and it is more difficult to crack. I only figured out the situation of these two traps not long ago. The condition is that more than half of the surviving people are in a state of intense emotion, and the triggering condition of the No.110 trap 'thought' is that the number of deaths exceeds three-quarters of the total number of people, that is, it will be triggered when the number of deaths exceeds [-] people."

William tapped on the computer, and a row of data appeared on the screen.

"Now the remaining number of us is almost on this line. We don't have to worry about 'emotions', because the fewer people we have, the lower the probability of triggering this trap. But 'thoughts' are hard to stop, Oh, this is..."

He looked at the screen, and explained the content of the entire document according to his reprogramming method.

"...four leaders, four...salesmen."

There was an even and steady breathing sound from behind, and Lu Ning fell asleep at some point. William glanced at it, smiled and shook his head: "Little girl, be vigilant...uh."

Just as he was about to sigh, he saw a thin thread hanging not far from his neck. That thread was harmless and even hard to detect.William looked carefully at Lu Ning, only to find that there seemed to be some kind of mimicry in the corner of the room. Some thin wires firmly protected Lu Ning's surroundings. The ends of the silk wires were connected to her fingers and ankles. If there is too much, I am afraid that Lu Ning will wake up immediately, and in her posture, it will not take a second from waking up to violently attacking.

"Hehe...I really overthink it. How can someone who can defeat Karl be less vigilant."

William grunted under his breath, turned around and continued tapping.

Lu Ning fell into the starry sky again in a deep sleep.

Before that, she was also based on the life reaction in this starry sky, that is, those stars finally determined the shape of the garden.And after falling into a deep sleep this time, the starry sky was only slowly flickering, and she unconsciously counted the number of stars according to the distribution of the garden.

This made her sleep into a deeper state, a sense of tranquility spread to her heart, and those star lights became clearer and closer.Lu Ning's thinking seemed to be aware of something in a blur, and once she had doubts, she would naturally not ignore them and continue to think in this direction.

Thinking in dreams is usually difficult to keep, but this can be regarded as a kind of "whim". The ruby ​​ring permeated Lu Ning's dream of the starry sky with a calming feeling, but she suddenly opened her eyes when she was very vigilant. Eye.

"53."

When the memory of that starry sky quickly disappeared, Lu Ning called out that number.William was taken aback, and quickly turned his head and asked, "What? What is 53?"

Lu Ning didn't answer him, and quickly turned on her instrument, but the crisis interface had disappeared, and all crisis statistics could no longer be seen.

She froze for a moment, remembering what William said before she fell asleep, and hurriedly turned her head and asked, "William! How many people will we have left when the crisis is over?"

"Fifty, there are still a few people away from triggering the 'thought', so don't panic too much."

"Fifty?"

"Well, it will only be triggered when there are about 38 people left, and we can try our best to do tasks during the calm period. The weather of the two gardens is unlocked, and the crisis interval is six hours, which is enough..."

"No, I didn't mean that." Lu Ning held her head, trying to recall the starry sky in her dream, but her memory was already blurred.She looked at the ruby ​​on her finger, resisting the urge to look at it again.

"The last memory shouldn't be a problem." She whispered, "It's 53, 53 stars."

"Lu Ning, we have to leave. Are you in a hurry to collect [-] stars?" William stood up and said.

"leave?"

"The analysis of the trap crisis has been completed, but the system used by the natural crisis and the trap crisis are not the same system. I have to go to the data collection room of the Winter Garden to recalculate the changes in the garden when the previous three crises occurred. You want do not come?"

"I am not in a hurry."

"I haven't claimed this one-star mission, you can take it, although I know it's a bit rare..."

"It's okay." Lu Ning walked to the machine and swiped it. "The third crisis has just passed. I want to see how difficult the task has become."

[Task Level [-]: Before the next crisis comes, unlock the weather lock of an area. 】

"It's not much improvement." William stood beside him, just in time to see Lu Ning's task.

"No, now that the two gardens have been fully unlocked, this task is undoubtedly for us to continue to compress our living space." Lu Ning put down the instrument, "For now, the difficulty of being a star is just right."

"Since you have no objection, let's go, do you want something to eat?"

"Just eat on the road." Lu Ning randomly took two items from the pile of food, and opened the door while eating.

Now she knows the location of most of the mission machines on almost every floor, and the two of them filled up the missions on the way to the Winter Garden. No life can finish.

The place William is going to is in the No. [-] courtyard. In Lu Ning's impression, it is the place where the snow is deep and the weather is unlocked first.But now that the two of them passed by, the snow layer was much thinner, which also proved that the Four Seasons Garden had some cleaning measures, but the speed was slightly slower.

Coming to the glass door, William opened the door. This place has also experienced many battles during this period, and there are also some corpses in the snow, but it is not so dazzling compared to other places.

"It's here. Except for a courtyard in each garden, there are only three connected signal tower rooms in this courtyard. The place I'm going to is on the inside."

"We can go in."

Lu Ning scanned the courtyard a little bit, but there was no life reaction, and there should be no one in the No. [-] courtyard at this time.

"Thank you very much." William stepped into the snow and walked inside with difficulty.Lu Ning raised her hand to beckon, and the matchmaker appeared behind her, and the filaments stretched out, floating in the air to build a ropeway.Then Lu Ning reached out to embrace the matchmaker, and the two flew directly to the upstairs of the house with the strength of the filament.

The data collection room can be seen from here. There is only one entrance, and Lu Ning can see it from the roof.She activated the optical shielding device equipped on her body, and the figure flickered twice, becoming indistinguishable in the whiteness.

It took William a while to walk into the collection room, while Lu Ning watched the surrounding situation from the highest point in the courtyard.

About 10 minutes later, the glass door was opened again.

A group of four from Cheron County, plus a man with short black hair, walked in together.

"Is it here?"

"That's right, there are many mechanical devices here, but I haven't learned these things, and I don't know how to use them at all. You are people in the pavilion, you should know how to use them?" The short-haired man pointed to the third room and said. .

"Samuana...I always feel...it's chilly here." Chadley tugged at Samuana's sleeve, saying a little timidly.

"This is the Winter Garden, isn't it normal to be cold?" Naim said impatiently, "Chadley, everyone is here! There is no crisis or monster now, what are you afraid of?"

"I am……"

"Chadley's intuition is quite accurate, and it's not wrong to be more vigilant." Cheron County said, "Samuana, please use the heat source amplifier to check the surroundings."

"Okay." Samuana took out the heat source amplifier and put it on her head, and looked around.

"There was a man in that row of houses."

"Huh? It's normal. It's not like there's no chance for other survivors to find out. If he knows more information, maybe he can exchange it." Cheron County stepped forward, "Is there no one else?"

"No more pyrogenic reactions."

"Chadley, I said you don't need to worry!" Naim patted Chadley's shoulder carelessly, threw away his weapon and opened a road in the snow, "Look, the footprints here are just a new one, relax mind."

Cheron County led the team, and Samuana walked at the end of the team. The two followed the team back and forth and began to walk towards the collection room.

Lu Ning on the roof moved her fingers, causing Bai Shu to relieve the cold change on her body.

She knew that Chelun County and the others were not murderers who would kill at sight, but she was not going to show up here. "Voice of the Heart" did not give her a warning of danger, which meant that she could still cope with any possible emergencies at present.

But just in case, she took out a taboo sticker.

As a four-star item, the strength of this item is quite high, so there is a limit to the number of items, a total of six.The scope that the sticker can govern is only within a space. If she sticks it outside, it cannot affect the interior of the room.In addition, this sticker is completely indistinguishable from friend to foe, so you need to think carefully about what to write on it.

She watched the group of people walk into the room, and glanced at it with her heat source amplifier. The reactions of several heat sources inside were still in a normal state, and they did not fight.

William is obviously better at dealing with people than Lu Ning.He knew that Lu Ning was guarding outside, and these people came in without giving any warning, which meant that she thought it was safe, so after seeing someone coming in, he immediately raised a smile.

"It seems that a few of you are here with the same purpose as me?"
