Returning from the abyss

Chapter 631

"How are you?"

Perhaps it was because Lu Ning had been outside for a long time, Yan Rong came out of the temple and asked her a question with concern.

"Yan Rong, will you go for soul pollution treatment?" Lu Ning asked her in a low voice.

"Yes."

"But the memory will be damaged by it?"

Yan Rong immediately understood why Lu Ning ran out suddenly.

"Are you worried about your memory?"

Lu Ning told her what she was worried about, but Yan Rong laughed instead.

"why are you laughing?"

"You think too much."

Yan Rong pulled Lu Ning to sit on the outer steps, and after thinking for a while, he said, "So you are worried that our memory loss will have some terrible consequences like the king's?"

"The consequences of this are unknown."

"Okay, but according to some information I got from the distribution center, it is obvious that the consequences of soul damage are more serious. As you said, the treatment of chronic diseases may require methods such as excision, which will inevitably leave some scars, But it would be even worse if left unchecked.”

"So has anyone ever seen someone with severely impaired memory?"

"I heard there are." Yan Rong nodded.

Lu Ning immediately asked who it was.

"Have you never had a good understanding of the superiors of the Golden Dawn? Ms. Li Yin, one of our fifth-level bosses, is a person whose memory is completely clear."

"I didn't know much about it..." Lu Ning spent almost all her time reading those scene files, and the files used aliases to refer to the people in them for some confidentiality. She didn't get to know the higher-ups at all. Who are those people.

"The leaders who survived from that era are all legends. Ms. Li Yin strangled two followers in a fifth-level scene, but it also caused serious damage to the scene, although her own score was just right enough not to enter the elimination scene, but because of this, she contracted a very serious soul pollution, so she simply went to the hospital to clear up all her pollution—it only took one scene."

"...So how is she doing now?"

"As strong as ever." Yan Rong grinned, "If you know more about the deeds of the big guys, you won't have so many worries. They have seen many things we have experienced several times. Take a step back and say If the distribution center thinks that memory damage will lead to more serious consequences, wouldn't it be easier to directly eliminate people with highly polluted souls? They can do it."

"Hmm... so, does Miss Li Yin have any sequelae?"

"I've never seen her, I've only heard rumors about her. Why don't you go to the fifth level and ask her yourself?" Yan Rong joked, "Anyway, you're so eager to advance, you won't be able to meet her any time soon." far away."

After being enlightened by Yan Rong, Lu Ning really felt a little worried.

"However, there is no harm in thinking about some issues in this area." Lu Ning nodded her head, "I have some ideas about the next task now."

"You still think about this?"

"No, I did get upset for a while, but I learned a little more about the scene because of it, which is generally a good thing. We can go back, is the discussion still going on? I think I know we should go tomorrow place."

"Jean and the boy named Li Yiju are better at this kind of discussion. The two of them, together with Tahan, are making various guesses on the collected information. That morning and evening didn't stop them, but just watched with cold eyes."

Yan Rong shrugged: "You know I'm not good at this, so I'm using this as an excuse to take a look at your situation."

"How do you feel now?" Lu Ning smiled.

"It's much more comfortable to chat..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled Lu Ning back, pulling her up from the stone steps.Lu Ning also felt a mysterious fluctuation, and raised her head to look across the avenue in front of the temple.

A man wearing a tall hat and a priest's uniform with a stand-up collar stood there. The hem of his clothes fluttered gently in the night wind, and a translucent bowtie was tied at the neckline, like a liquid "Alarm" inside the bowtie Shine slightly.He held a sword-shaped weapon in his hanging hand, but it didn't have a blade, but a cylindrical piece of metal that was sharpened at the tip, which was somewhat similar to the shape of an Emei thorn.

Needless to say, this is a foreign officer.

Counting the one in front of him, Lu Ning has already met six foreign affairs officers of the nobles. Except that Nest seems to be really hard to see, these foreign affairs officials also have quite strong characteristics.

"Your Excellency, Foreign Affairs Officer?" Yan Rong tried to talk to the other party.

The foreign affairs officer stood there for about a minute before saying, "It doesn't match the information."

"intelligence?"

"Yoshimitsu Kataha—it's not you guys. Eyesight provided outdated information, so you're guilty." The foreign affairs officer said coldly, "According to historical information, you are Hei Ke."

"Excuse me, what can I do to find Jiguang Katayu?" Lu Ning frowned. She already knew that Alarm originated from Leslie, but she had little contact with this nobleman. Now it seems that she is more kind than Dacapo. It is said that this foreign affairs officer has a bit of a taste for oil and salt.

"Punishment according to the order, Yoshimitsu Katayu violated the rules that should be abided by today, I must let them know." The foreign affairs officer finally stepped forward, "If you want to obstruct it, you should be punished for the crime of covering up."

"No, please." Lu Ning stepped aside, Yan Rong raised her eyebrows, and she covered her mouth with her hand.

So far, the foreign affairs officer is still the strongest fighting force I have seen. Maybe the army leader can defeat them, but Lu Ning has never seen the army leader do anything.Now that she has just arrived in the inner city, Lu Ning doesn't want to fight the foreign affairs officer directly.

The foreign officer directly passed the two of them and walked towards the gate of the temple.Lu Ning followed directly behind without hiding anything, and just as she thought, the foreign affairs officer didn't care about her actions at all.

And the moment the foreign officer stepped into the gate, a pillar blasted out from inside.

This carved column was nearly one meter in diameter, and it was black in color. When it flew over, it made no sound at all, and it might even be the attack launched the moment the foreign affairs officer entered the door.The foreign affairs officer instantly raised his left hand and pressed it against the pillar, and was pushed out two or three meters by a huge force. Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of explosion. Numerous cracks exploded on the surface of the pillar, and it fell to the ground and became gravel. .

"It's the treasure 'Bo Gu Tong Jin', Mr. Tahan." The foreign officer put down his hands and continued to walk into the temple.

What came out this time was a nearly three-meter-high giant robot that could almost knock down the gate of the temple. It was equipped with a large number of lethal weapons, and it was different from Yuan Jie's armory. They were all high-end goods, ranging from knives, hammers, axes, saws to guns and rockets. When they rushed out, they directly swept towards the foreign affairs officer with a rain of bullets.The foreign affairs officer waved the "sword" in his hand, and blocked all bullets, shells, lasers, hacks, missiles, flames, and high-pressure water with a jaw-dropping high speed.

Yan Rong was a little dazed watching it. Of course she knew that this was definitely not pure physical skill, but it was indeed the power exerted by physical skill.

"Chen Gu, the treasure is 'militaristic'."

The foreign affairs officer unhurriedly reported the people and treasures who came to attack, and after defusing all the weapon attacks of the robot, he stabbed his sword into the abdomen of the robot, then pulled it out like lightning, and continued to walk in with the sword.At this time, the movement of the robot has fallen into a paralyzed state.

"Chen and Dusk, you have crossed the line."

"Sooner or later there will be such a day." Chen Twilight's hoarse voice responded.

"You can search for treasures with peace of mind and build your forces, and the nobles will not interfere. But you connect the pathways, use the treasure compound to greatly reproduce memories, and try to unlock the core secrets of the nobles. This is an absolute taboo."

"What, are you going to kill us?"

"Guilty, not worthy of death. I will punish you, and the things you made must be destroyed."

"Don't even think about it."

"Then, if you die due to resistance, you will be included in the ranks of actions that must be carried out."

At this moment, Lu Ning and Yan Rong had just arrived at the main hall.Unsurprisingly, Jean and Li Yiju had already led their people to escape far away, leaving only Jiguang Pianyu's people by the fire in the temple.The appearance of each of them has changed a lot, and half of their clothes have changed. It is obvious that all of them have entered a state of high fusion.Tahan was covered with patterns all over his body, and his clothes and skin had turned into the same blue-gray color; one of the Hongying sisters was wearing a black armor and carrying a big red sword, and the other was like an ancient white-clothed knight, with a bamboo hat covering his head, full of blood. Stepping on sixteen ice-blade light wheels; a ghost-like substance of indeterminate reality stretched out from behind the mercenary, holding two pipelines connected to the mass with both hands; the left half of the body of the remaining armored man grew There are a lot of spikes, and the right half of the body seems to be liquefied.

Standing in the middle of the morning and evening, there is a small golden crown floating on his head, the shield in his left hand has a star map that does not exist in this world, and the scepter in his right hand is equipped with seven gemstones of different colors.

Jiguang Pianyu's fusion state is obviously more proficient than Lu Ning and others. For a moment, Lu Ning doubted that this foreign affairs officer might not be able to defeat these veterans.

But the foreign affairs officer rushed up in the next second.

"Mercenary - Crucible of Misery."

The tip of the sword collided with the conduit in the mercenary's hand, sparks were sparked instantly, and some kind of substance sprayed out from the conduit in the mercenary's hand, but the foreign affairs officer dodged like lightning and rushed to the next person.

"Red bell—a bad omen of anger."

This time the foreign affairs officer did not deal with it so easily. "Red Oriole" was originally a character with the same reputation as "Dawn and Twilight". Even the two of them were not bad in strength. As soon as he stepped on it, criss-crossing bright red lines appeared on the ground. Less than half a second later, a checkerboard-shaped wall of fire gushed out from bottom to top, enveloping the two of them together.

"The response is fine." Yan Rong had already started to comment while watching.

"What reaction?" Lu Ning was a little confused.

"She judged from the foreign affairs officer's attack on the mercenary that he planned to test the mercenary, and immediately decided not to give the other party this opportunity. When she was about to attack, she immediately thought of a way to block the other party's footsteps. It's the judgment of combat instinct! I don't think the foreign affairs officer will be injured because of this, but his battle plan may be interrupted."

"Chen Gu! Come right back!" Chen Huo pointed at the robot at the door with the tip of his staff, and the white gem flashed, and the robot immediately roared again, turned around and came back.At this time, the wall of fire had been smashed by the foreign affairs officer, but just as Yan Rong said, the black-armored Hongying had already started to drag the foreign affairs officer in front of her with a series of strong attacks and a fire formation.

"Insist on resisting? You didn't need to pay an excessive price."

"The price is to return to nothingness and confusion to spend the rest of our lives? Do you think we are those office workers in the outer city who don't know why they are alive?" Chen Wan smiled sarcastically.

"They at least had a normal life."

The mercenary laughed.

"Ordinary life?"

Red Oriole in white crossed her hands slightly, and a scimitar condensed with ice gushed out of her hand. The moment the scimitar took shape, she held it with her backhand and joined the battle directly: "Let me tell the foreign affairs officer who doesn't understand the sufferings of the world. , They may live normally, and then suddenly die one day in an event that does not know why it happened! Live their lives safely? Have you ever counted how many people really lived to the end?"

"Accidental death is also life." The foreign affairs officer blocked the two and still did not see much pressure. "Short or long, it is fate. At least that kind of life is not meaningless."

"But it's very mediocre." Chen and Hu raised their palms again, and this time it was the red gemstones flashing. The two sisters' attacks suddenly became several times more ferocious, and the foreign affairs officer finally began to feel a little overwhelmed.

"After meeting Tahan and learning about the past history of this country, I am deeply disgusted now. Why can't we live in a peaceful city? Everyone may die from accidents every day. This feeling sucks But you nobles never care about human life! Because every death will always be filled by another person, you have never lacked anyone!"

Chen and Hu slammed the cane to the ground.

"I just want to go back to the beginning, back to the glory days under the king's rule. Is this behavior wrong? Tell me, Your Excellency the Foreign Affairs Officer?"

"Oh……"

The foreign affairs officer held the blades of ice and fire and let out a sound that seemed to be a response. Then, Lu Ning saw a light pass through the ceiling of the temple and land on the foreign affairs officer.The Hongying sisters were blown away by the light, and ropes woven by light were wrapped around the ankles of each of the seven Yoshimitsu Katabas.

"Your behavior is allowed, but you're breaking the rules—that's all that matters, even with your 'pretend,' Mr. Twilight."

The Foreign Affairs Officer tapped the ground with the point of his sword.

"Compared to the last time, your strength has improved a lot. I think this is why you dare to try. But the facts show that you still can't escape the restriction of the rope of theocracy, so it's still too early for your dreams."
