Returning from the abyss

Chapter 635
It is impossible for the Dark Sage and the Supreme Bishop to convince each other. After all, they are all old monsters who have lived for countless years, and their inner views are hard to shake.

But one thing is for sure, the dark sage still dare not walk out of the path of light, the safe haven has now become a cage, and he still hasn't found the key to open the cage.Lu Ning finally understood what his intention of continuously issuing dark secret orders was. He hoped to get out of that narrow world safely, so he had to find an agent in the world.

"I didn't expect it. It's rare to meet an old friend, and they broke up." The chief bishop noticed that the path was slowly disappearing, and shook his head slightly, "You can continue to seek the solution that doesn't exist. , but I don't think that exists."

"I thought you could gain something after living in the inner city for so long. It's a pity, Archbishop."

After the dark sage finished speaking, the space he was in disappeared.

After a moment of silence, the chief bishop looked at the crowd, then stretched out his big hand to pick up a stone pier, and placed it next to Lu Ning: "Sit down, too."

"Uh...thank you." Lu Ning didn't know what to say for a while, and sat on the stone pier, looking at the huge body of the chief bishop.He was already over three meters tall, but he was hunched up before, so he wasn't particularly tall, but when he came to the front, he could see his whole picture.Through the tattered clothes, one can see that the ribs of the chief bishop's abdominal cavity have become dark and pierced through the skin, and all the internal organs have left bluish-purple traces on the gray-yellow skin. The heart has long been lost. Normal function, about 1 minute or so before beating once, squeezing some residual blood through the dry blood vessel.

"Why... did you become like this." Lu stared at the top bishop who looked like this, feeling a little sad in his heart.From the conversation he had with the dark sage just now, it is not difficult to see that although the appearance has become so ugly, the chief bishop still retains kindness in his heart, and has not been destroyed by the years.

"Because of immortality." The archbishop Jean Ti explained, "Mr. Bishop decided to stay in this world and continue his immortal life to wait for the return of the king, but immortality is not something that humans can have."

"Hehehe... We also talked about this just now." The archbishop let out a somewhat hollow breathing sound, and he nodded his head, "The birth and death of ordinary people are determined by the structure of human beings, but since the king After breaking hell and destroying the death of all people, death will no longer befall us. However, destroying the concept does not mean changing the structure of the body. Nature has an amazing self-consistent ability. When we come to die, we ourselves begin to transform into a state where we cannot die."

"But... I have seen Junsuo at the station, they are not like you." Lu Ning said.

"Is there really no change at all?" The archbishop asked with a smile.

Lu Ning remembered the white hair of the regiment commander, and sighed: "I thought it was no big deal."

"Some people don't show it on the surface. I think that in order to make the station run peacefully, Qi Ya specially dispatched those soldiers who did not make a big change in appearance to take charge of the station. That girl has always been very careful." The chief bishop seemed very happy, "I can listen To hear news of some old friends is, by any measure, pleasant."

His being so open-minded made Lu Ning feel a lot better.She thought for a while and said, "I haven't thanked you for saving me. You should have prepared the medical cabin, right?"

"Thank you to the person who sent you here. With your physique, you can't die, but you will suffer more later."

Lu Ning looked at Rang and the others, but Rang waved his hand directly: "We don't know where the top bishop is, let alone provide you with treatment here. We almost took you to find Mist's lair."

"Mist does not have a hospital in the inner city, and they will not provide treatment for non-family members." The archbishop said, "The reason is that the nobles think it is very dangerous to let strangers break into their places, even if the contact between the nobles It is also done in some public areas, and you will not invite others into your home."

"Who is that..."

"Ah..." Liu Yunqing scratched his hair a little irritably, "Those two foreign affairs officers who used all kinds of questions."

This was a completely unexpected answer, and Lu Ning didn't even know why they wanted to help.

"Don't ask us, we don't know. In short, you greatly shook the royal court that was unfolding in the morning and evening. Half of the palace collapsed, and those avatars also exploded a lot of memory fragments. Foreign officials collected fragments while reducing damage. , a few new Alarm foreign affairs officers tied up Chen and Twilight, and Yan Rong snatched you out. We were discussing where to send you for treatment, when those two foreign affairs officers suddenly appeared behind us and asked... Anyway, they were just one A bunch of questions." Liu Yunqing seemed to have a headache, and Lu Ning also understood that no one who listened to the conversation between the two people would know whether the other party understood or not.

"We finally gave up communicating." Jean said helplessly, "They brought us directly to the Supreme Bishop. We haven't talked about this just now. It seems that the nobles actually know that you are in this place?"

"They completely control the inner city and the outer city. Except for the palace, which is not under the jurisdiction of the nobles, there are basically no secrets in other places." The archbishop said.

"What did you talk about just now?" Lu Ning asked.

"We are talking about the inner city and the king. After all, this is the core." Li Yiju repeated to Lu Ning, "The current state of the inner city is that the nobles are completely under the jurisdiction, and the king is missing. We asked if it was the nobles. There may have been a mutiny, a possibility denied by the Archbishop."

"Because the settings and memory extraction of the nobles are basically from the king. He has dealt with some machine intelligence riots, and he knows that such things cannot happen, otherwise the number does not need to be limited to seven... because we are the only ones who can absolutely trust companion." The archbishop nodded.

"So the king disappeared by himself. But the most troublesome thing about the disappearance is that he doesn't know when he disappeared. After all, the king has used technology similar to treasures to move many citizens to a safe place. Before he disappeared, there were not many people in the inner city. Already." Li Zhiju continued, "When the archbishop realized that the king was no longer around, the seven nobles were fully operational and took over the jurisdiction of the inner city and outer city. A large number of people who migrated from Nest were reset by Eyesight's memory. Arranged into the outer city to live in those empty houses, Mist and Alarm managed the underworld and heaven, the outer towns were abolished, and ruins appeared instead. Dacapo paved everything almost overnight The traffic lines between the outer cities, the whole world has become almost what we see now."

"So... how long has it been?" Lu Ning asked the chief bishop.

"About 130 years, I don't remember very clearly." The archbishop said, "I was relatively old, so I was also one of the first people to have the undead mutation. In fact, it is a pity that if Isabel, Manden, Vera If these people are not dead, maybe we don’t have to look for such extreme methods. What I just told you about natural mutations is actually Vera’s speculation.”

"Vera?" Lu Ning had some doubts, "Didn't she commit suicide?"

"Yes, after the king gained immortality, she used some method to make her soul disappear from her body. This almost gave the king a blow in the head... He thought that he didn't have to lose anyone anymore." The archbishop With a wry smile, "Of course, Vera's body is still alive, and it should be in her mansion. If you wish, you can still see her there, but that body probably cannot escape natural alienation."

"If we have time." Lu Ning knew that it must be another place like a ruin.

"I don't know that child well. After all, the time we spent together was too short. As a clergyman, I undoubtedly failed."

"I heard that you were concerned about the Wu Nuo issue at the time, and it was not your responsibility." Lu Ning said.

"Wu Nuo's personality is obvious, and it is easier to detect. And a reserved person like Vera needs the most attention at all times, and this is also my main responsibility. Otherwise, I am an old man and I don't have the talent of those young people. Why does the king rely on me again?" The chief bishop patted his forehead, and the painful expression could still be seen on his ugly face.

"Even if you notice it once, can you continue to notice it every time?"

"Are you confident that you can solve the real problem in her heart?"

"Oh..." Liu Yunqing couldn't help covering his face when he heard these two voices, and Lu Ning was also a little surprised to see two foreign affairs officers, Yan Rong and other companions coming in from the main entrance of the small hall.

"Hey! Lu Ning, are you awake? That's great! The chief bishop really has a good idea!" Yan Rong waved happily at Lu Ning. Lu Ning saw her sweaty head, and guessed that she was going to practice martial arts. Happy.

"It's just the medical cabin left over from before... have you all rested?" the archbishop asked.

"Is it a rest to accompany someone to feed you?" Xixi put on a helpless expression.

"You guys didn't even break a sweat! And I didn't fight you for a long time?" Yan Rong yelled.

"Sissy, won't you follow my example and refuse her proposal?"

"Wouldn't it be cruel if I refused?"

"So are you tired now? Which is better than sleeping?"

"Is there any point in asking this after you've all rested?"

Yes, another headache of interrogative dialogue is that you don't know if the two are communicating or arguing.

"You two... don't argue about this for now. If Sissy hasn't had a good rest, you can start the deep sleep mode later to make up for it." The chief bishop said.

"Wow! Can I really use it?" Sissy asked happily.

The chief bishop smiled and pointed to the small door where Lu Ning came over. Sissy immediately rushed over and disappeared in an instant.

The foreign affairs officer who stayed behind looked at Lu Ning and nodded: "Are you in good health?"

"Thank you for sending me here."

The foreign affairs officer nodded, and took out a white columnar body from the inside pocket of his uniform, and handed it to Lu Ning.

"This one……"

Lu Ning looked at the columnar body, which was about as long as a forearm, with a sharp tip, surrounded by seven grooves, and dense patterns around it.

"Can't you recognize it?"

It was the head of the scepter in Chen and Twilight's hand.

"This is part of the scepter in the hands of the morning and evening, but the gems are gone."

"Take it away." The archbishop said, "You put a lot of effort into resolving that incident, and the principle of fairness is very important in the foreign affairs officer's rules, excluding those things that must be taken away, this should be I can give you the reward."

Lu Ning took the cylinder and touched it suspiciously. After all, the man Chen and Huo is almost a treasure, and it was forcibly put together for use. Even if only one piece is dug out, it is probably a treasure.

Indeed, when her fingers touched the bottom, she found that part of it could be pulled out, and there was a cylinder inside, with a smooth surface, and small words engraved in red fonts.

[Jiyin Caile: Young, ambitious, and ideal, but lacked enough experience and lessons, full of recklessness and aggressiveness, but that time...it was hard to let go. 】

Unfortunately, Lu Ning no longer felt any power in the treasure in her hand. She didn't know if it was because she had a fusion treasure herself, or if the power in this treasure was emptied by the morning and evening.But since the foreign affairs officer gave it to him, it should still be useful, right?
"Big Bishop, if there is no power in the treasure, can it still be used?" She asked the Big Bishop.

"It's not easy for me to answer, because I have never owned any treasure." The archbishop shook his hand.

"Why?" Jean frowned, "As far as I'm concerned, this glorious church should belong to your treasure."

"It contains memories about me, but it's not mine." The archbishop said, "If you need it, I can fuse it for you. I still have the ability to do so."

Jean immediately beamed.

At this moment, Yan Rong also walked up to Lu Ning, and whispered to her, "Your body has fully recovered?"

"Well, there are no sequelae."

"That's good, the next destination you mentioned before..."

"I originally wanted to find a relatively key relic to explore. Although there are few people in the inner city now, it's not that there are no people. I still have a way to find people." Lu Ning pointed to her eyes, "But now This step is also saved, let's go to Vera's mansion to have a look."

"Or Vera?"

"It's better to find an acquaintance than someone you don't know?" Lu Ning joked.

At another station in the outer city, a dark blue train stopped at the station, and the door opened with a soft sound.

"Ha... I slept so soundly." A somewhat frivolous voice sounded, and then the man wearing a short jacket and carrying two gorgeous long swords behind his back jumped out of the car door, and immediately turned away when he saw the scenery outside. pouted.

"It's really broken."

"Feng Hu, please pay attention to your words and deeds." A brown-skinned, muscular young man with a steel knife hanging from his waist walked to the door of the car.
