Returning from the abyss

Chapter 637 The Treasure House
Lu Ning carefully studied the room Dorian chose, and it really looked like an apartment house, and the closet was full of food and nutrition, as if she knew someone would get lost here and stocked it up. .

"Are the other rooms like this too?" Lu Ning asked.

"It's not all... This should be the guest room." Dorian got up and went to the small kitchen to open a path. There was no pipeline connection, but a blue flame appeared on the stove immediately.

"Guest room?"

"Probably the quirk of the researchers. Vera set the tone for these rooms to the extent that they can live for more than a month without relying on any outside world. Those of us who are lost here rely on the supplies in these rooms to survive until now.”

"Can you live up to now in a month?"

"I'm also surprised that the servants would replenish what was used up." Dorian tore open two packs of instant noodles, filled a pot with water and put it on the stove to boil, "Whether it's water or Food, or some potions, chemicals... Anyway, what is consumed from the room will be replenished after we leave, it should be called 'cleaning'."

"Even though Vera is gone, are these servants still continuing to maintain the house... They should know that the only users here are us outsiders, right?"

"It seems that the rules set by Vera are still strictly followed. You look behind the door." Dorian pointed, and Lu Ning walked to the door, and saw a room instruction manual sealed with a plastic board.

[All items in this room can be used at will. If you need something special, please press the call button, and a servant will come to prepare it for you.

Please put luggage and other personal items in the personal safe deposit box. When you leave the room, the maid will restore everything here to its original state.

Do not attempt to break into an occupied room without permission.Servants will also abide by this rule.

Garbage can be thrown directly into the trash can. If special treatment is required, refer to the first article. 】

"How? A very simple explanation?" Dorian sneered, "But if there are people in the room, those servants will indeed not come in. This will save us a lot of trouble. If there are servants attacking It would be safe to hide in such a guest room. However... because of the third reason, it is best not to have several people enter a room at the same time."

"What happens if you enter the same room?"

"The servant will kill anyone other than the first person entering the room as a violent intruder." Dorian seemed to recall some bad memories, shook her head hastily, and took out a fork from the sideboard Stir the water and throw the dough into it.

"Understood. Then where did you get your treasure and the thing that the dark sage asked for?"

"In the master bedroom."

"……where?"

"The master bedroom on the third floor, yes, it's not Vera's study or research room, it's her master bedroom. I'm also quite surprised. There's no one there, but since it's a place that Vera uses, it's probably not allowed to enter casually. The alarm was triggered as soon as I walked in. Fortunately, the illusion of the treasure delayed me for a long time, and after I broke the illusion to get the treasure, the stone of the dark sage prevented the servant from approaching me directly. Two periods of delay in escaping from the master bedroom, and now I dare not go back."

"But the key to leaving this mansion may be there."

"...Maybe, but the key to death is also there." Dorian shrugged.

"Hey... I feel like something is following us."

Robert, who was walking in the queue, suddenly spoke. He seldom spoke, but speaking was important information.Everyone stopped, Yan Rong turned his head to look behind him, shook his head and said, "I don't feel it."

"The hymn didn't tell me anything." Jean pointed his finger in the direction behind the crowd, but the sound of the hymn echoing in his ears didn't change.Of course, everyone knew that it would be foolish not to care about it because most people didn't feel it. After looking at each other, Zhu Qinyuan and Yuan Jie took light steps and moved to the rear, and rushed out from the stairs.

"There really isn't anything."

Robert's expression was a little annoyed: "I feel a little...not sure."

"Can you tell me how it feels?" Yan Rong asked.

"It's a sense of emptiness, nothing malicious or good, but it's dangerous, that kind of fatal attraction... that's all I can describe."

"But anyway, if we can't see the target, we can't judge what the threat is." Jean shook his head, "Let's go upstairs."

When he said "Let's go upstairs", he winked at everyone, and most of them understood, and followed him upstairs in silence.After the last person stepped up the stairs, armed servants appeared again around the corner of the corridor, but this time there were three of them.

The entire third floor is the living space of Vera. There are some more furnishings here. To Yan Rong and others, it looks somewhat similar to the research institute. It can be seen that Vera is trying to restore the life of the time. effort.The corridor on the entire third floor is divided into four roads from the stairway, which is also similar to the research institute.

"It's a bad memory." Lian Bi gave a low laugh, "Habits are really hard to change..."

"Rest area, work area, hospitality area, and snow collection area." Li Yiju looked up at the sign on the corridor. Although it was strange to post such a sign in his own home, he regarded it as Vera's Personally get used to it.

"Where are you going?"

"Of course it's the snow harvesting area!" Yuan Jie became interested, "If she stores something good here, then I can replenish a lot of high-quality weapons in my arsenal!"

"I don't think it's that easy." Zhu Qinyuan poured cold water on it, "It sounds like a place for treasure."

"But there are still many of us who don't have any high-quality weapons, right? A high-quality weapon can greatly improve their strength." Yan Rong was also a little eager to try, "Anyway, it's a big deal to break into another illusion of wealth."

Liu Yunqing and the others obviously had this intention. Whether it was treasure or not, Vera's collection was definitely not bad, and what tourists lacked most was a handy weapon.

"Then... it's okay for us to go and have a look first."

=
"Ha... Why does Vera still have a sign in her home?" Lu Ning looked up, a little puzzled by the brain circuit of this genius.

"Anyway, it's convenient for us." Dorian said. At this time, her weapon after merging treasures appeared in her hand, a hollow long sword with a brass color and a complicated dial decoration on the handle.Lu Ning also let the fragments of the long knife float around her to prevent servants from rushing out suddenly.

"The work area... the snow harvesting area, if you insist, it is more likely that there are related things in these two places?"

"I have been to the third floor at different times in the past 30 years. Apart from not daring to enter the door, I have also wandered in the corridor." Dorian said, "The work area is almost the research room and file storage, and the door will write, And there are also very complicated numbers. As for the snow harvesting area, it is roughly divided into six treasure houses, which are also numbered, and I don’t know what those numbers mean.”

"Will the alarm go off the moment we walk in?"

"Yes."

"There's no reaction time at all..." Lu Ning thought for a while, "Then what if we just open the door and don't go in?"

"What's the use of that?"

"That's useful."

Lu Ning picked the snow harvesting area that was closer, and led Dorian over there. There were no servants in the corridor, so she took the opportunity to look around at the numbers of each storage room, and randomly picked a doorknob that looked pleasing to the eye. With a twist and a push, the door opened, but nothing unusual happened.Lu Ning grinned, stood at the door and looked around, flicked her fingers, and several photos appeared between her fingers.Then she stuffed the photo into the robe and reached out to grab Dorian's wrist: "It just so happens that you are the first one to try my latest function."

"Varied……"

Before the words were finished, the shutter was released, and the surrounding world was completely turned into black and white. Dorian looked around in surprise, but Lu Ning stepped directly into the door.

"Sure enough, it's safe." Lu Ning walked around the room.

"Filming"—another usage of suddenly yesterday that she found after meeting Leslie.

Only she can enter yesterday's world. In that world, she can pause everything she has seen, and investigate those neglected details. This is of course very convenient, but it is not without flaws. At least Lu Ning has experienced The fact that there are things that can invade yesterday's world shows that it is not absolutely safe there.

But "framing" is absolutely safe. To put it bluntly, this method is to directly expand several photos in three dimensions. It just freezes the scene at that moment, without time flow or material movement. She can even bring others into this place. inside the photo.Compared with yesterday's world, the disadvantage is that you can't rely on moving in the photo to achieve short-term displacement, and everything in it will not change or be touched, and the photo space must fit the original space.

"Your treasure is really convenient." Dorian praised.

"But fighting is not a good thing." Lu Ning shrugged, and most of the treasures are partial, unless they are all kneaded together like morning and evening.

Without saying much, the two turned around in the treasure house that would not trigger the alarm.

Most of the collectibles are sealed in boxes, and some glass boxes can still be seen inside, but some are packed in metal boxes or jade boxes, so you can't see what's inside at all.The parts that cannot be photographed in the photo are completely blacked out, and there is no way to go through to see what is inside.

Vera still maintains her own habit here, and puts a label on each collection. The three information of number, name, and source are clearly written on it, but there is no detailed introduction. She probably remembers these things herself. what is it.

Lu Ning first glanced at a short sword placed on a pedestal.

【No. TK-R-0203
Name: Stainless Sword
Source: Salvage]

The sword doesn't have the names and words that treasures would have, and this one doesn't look like treasure either.At least a sword that won't rust... as long as it is made of metal that is not so easy to rust and has better maintenance methods.Of course, Vera would store it here probably because the sword will not rust no matter how hard it is, but there is no other value.

"This doesn't look like treasure..." Dorian stood in front of a big clock. People who knew a little about Vera's past would easily look for things related to time first. That's what Dorian did. Ning walked over and took a look, but she also didn't think so.

[No. WR-O-1776
Name: Double noon clock

Source: Recycling]

"Dorian, help me count how many of these numbers and sources there are. I think there must be secrets related to the Museum of Time."

"it is good."

The two moved quickly, and quickly sorted out the categories from the more than 30 collections here.

First of all, the numbers are all three-segment numbers, the first two-digit number, a total of four types, TK, WR, ED and IO, the middle number is one, the same four types, and the first paragraph number has no affiliation, respectively It's R, O, D, Q.The third digit is a four-digit number with no commonality.

It seems Vera has a penchant for sorting things into four categories, and that habit carries over to sources—salvage, salvage, gift, and manufacture.

Among them, recycling actually accounts for more than half, and the remaining three types are not much different.Although it is possible to guess what it means from the literal meaning, it is still full of fog. Lu Ning doesn't know how Vera classified things into these.

"Why don't we go and look at other treasure houses?" After sorting out and analyzing them by herself, Dorian also became interested in these things. For 30 years, she dared not enter them. Only after all the doubts were resolved did he give up.Lu Ning nodded, and with a wave of her hand, the black and white space was closed back to the photo, and they were still in place, not moving an inch.

Lu Ning opened the next treasure house in the same way, and the two used the paper they took out from the previous guest room to make a detailed statistics of all the treasures, planning to collect them all and return to a safe place to sort them out.

But just as the two counted the three treasure houses in this way, and when they were walking towards the fourth room, they suddenly felt a coldness around them at the same time. Dorian's reaction was the fastest, and she immediately pointed the sword in her hand to the ground, an almost transparent crystal The sphere envelops the two inside.At the same time, Lu Ning also noticed that the carpet under her feet had changed from green to black.

"Have we crossed the one-way time barrier again?" She turned her head and saw a lens that was rapidly going away, and the speed was completely different from the slow one before.

"Yes, it doesn't affect us much, but you have to be careful when you pass around the base, it will be a disaster if there are servants around." Dorian breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, the door of the fourth treasure house they were going to opened, their nerves tensed instantly, and they had already made plans to turn around and run to the second floor in case the person who came out was wrong.

"Ha... um? Who are you?"

Lu Ning looked at Vera in a thick green sweater who came out with a sleepy face and yawned in astonishment.
