Returning from the abyss

Chapter 654 Wrong Memories
Lu Ning could see the hesitation on Esson's face. In fact, she could see more, such as the crumpled paper in Esson's hanging hand that was not holding a gun, although she could only see the words "custody authorization". Words, but enough.

"Please don't point a gun at me, father." Saga still maintained his unchanging expression, "I'm very scared. If these little guys want to protect me, I can't control them."

A bitter smile appeared on Esson's face.

"For individuals that cause actual harm, the only way to deal with it is to eliminate. I have made so much effort, just to prevent you from getting to where you are today..."

"You know, this can't be changed, just like people need to breathe, I and they are naturally attracted to each other."

"Therefore, this is my mistake, not yours." Esson shook his head, "Son, if I could not be moved by emotions, report the abnormalities on your body truthfully, and take precautions early, none of this would have happened It's my fault, I... failed to be your father."

A trace of astonishment finally appeared on Saga's face, she took a step forward, as if she wanted to say something, but Esson had already pulled the trigger.The pain on his face almost made Lu Ning suspect that he was going to commit suicide, but the bullet still accurately hit Saga's heart, bringing out a pool of blood.What's more, the child's petite body even vacated for a second or two before falling to the ground.

At the same time, Esson's knees fell to the ground. He looked desperately at the fallen Saga, his eyes were red, he struggled to move two steps forward, and squeezed the paper in his hand, but he didn't pay attention. He saw a red butterfly fluttering and landed on the back of his head.

For a moment, Esson's eyes widened suddenly. He tried to raise his hands, but his limbs lost strength.

But Saga lay on the ground and spoke.

"You are very kind to me, father. And grandma, uncles and aunts of the nurses, everyone is very kind to me... But you want to kill me, everyone calls me a monster. Bugs, you say it is bad, but they Don't want me dead, even now they will save me."

"Saga..."

"I don't understand."

smash.

The knife Lu Ning swung cut the world apart. She had observed the switching methods of memories many times, and she was basically sure that these memories were some residual connections. The most important memories of "Princess Butterfly" have probably been taken away and turned into parts of the rooms I saw before, and what is left now are just some harmless residues.

"They can eat other people's brains and use them to repair my injuries. I know that their love for me is not fake, but I still don't understand why." There is only nothingness and emptiness left around the condensed world. After all, apart from this period of childhood, there is nothing good left in Saga's life.

Lu Ning raised her hand and fished behind her back, grabbing the tentacle that connects herself and the other party.

"Then don't ignore their kindness!"

The blade sliced ​​the tentacles into pieces, Lu Ning jumped up in the air, and the countless sharp teeth below opened again, and the corrupted and blackened butterflies were flying out from the eyeball that was constantly shedding tears.

"I don't understand! I don't understand!"

These savage memory fragments can only scream, and even the mind has degenerated to that time when I was a child, and the tentacles dancing wildly around me entangled again, collided with the blade, shattered, and gave off a smell like when a bug was crushed.

"If people are kind to you! Then return their kindness! Or it will be like you, or it will be—"

The robe behind Lu Ning rolled up, rolling up the flying memory fragments like ink. Those memory fragments that had been too bleak to maintain integrity were once again dyed with the color of ink, and the black marks intertwined and expanded along the dagger in his hand. The blade was completely wrapped and turned into a wedge wrapped in a pattern.

"--like me!"

She threw the wedge, and the sharp memory shattered a line of black butterflies with an ink halo, and accurately nailed the crying eyeball. More rancid and dirty liquid came from the inside as the wound was torn open It spewed out, but the more it spouted, the closer it was to the normal color of blood.

"What is this..."

"Sturdy self-knowledge."

A golden wire wrapped around Lu Ning's wrist and pulled her up. Yan Rong's voice came from above with a relaxed smile: "This is probably the most valuable thing in this scene."

Lu Ning turned her head to look at the black ink rolling behind her, "Suddenly yesterday" seemed to no longer exist, replaced by the endless memories that held her in the air as softly as liquid, but Lu Ning knew what the treasure should have turned into.

"I'm afraid this is the king's arrangement. Fusion treasure is just to find the one who is more compatible with me, but the treasure is still the king's memory and emotion." Yan Rong unfolded the golden fire wings and slowly fell from above. Connected with red nerves, even some eyeballs began to emerge from the body, but were quickly burned by the flames.

"And now it's...our own?"

"The undead will become like the archbishop. What is the reason? The spirit will decay, and they will have doubts about their own existence. Although I don't think this method of creating a shell for yourself is the correct way to deal with it, But this is probably the last effort before the king disappears."

"king……"

"Don't be dazed, we have to go up."

It was only then that Lu Ning saw that the line of fire extending from Yan Rong's body did not only circle around her alone, but there were also several thin lines of fire around it that pulled the people below up.

"There are quite a few people who can break through that memory cage, but the things underneath are more ferocious." Yan Rong effortlessly dragged these people to a safe distance in the air.Lu Ning looked down and saw that the eyeball pierced by the wedge turned into a short knife had slowly healed, and the blood squeezed the wedge out of the wound.Lu Ning raised her hand, and the ink-colored thread pulled the dagger back into her hand.

And when she stood at a slightly higher place, with the help of the light emitted by Yan Rong, she could see that there were more monsters crowded in the dark underground space, shapeless, only empty and decayed shells, the only thing in common was Massive black tentacles grew from each monster, threads of memory trying to capture the next victim.

"Can't beat?" Lu Ning raised her head and asked.

"Don't think that you are invincible with this." Yan Rong tapped the fire on the surface of his body, "Although they are the self-protection of the soul, once they are materialized, they can be crushed by the same method."

"Uh... Anyway, thank you."

"Thanks for what?"

"Without you, we might still be wandering in that pile of memories."

Of course, Lu Ning didn't need Yan Rong to pull her upwards at this time, the black color behind her could make her swim freely in the air, the two of them rushed up with the rest of them, the red nerves could only block it a little, Since he can be pierced by Yan Rong from top to bottom, there is nothing to stop him in turn.

Yan Rong rushed out of the gap in the ground, while the witnesses of the crown ceremony were still sitting in their seats.

"Hey, I'm back."

"Hahaha... luck is really good, no, should I say that your strength is beyond my expectations?" The witness of the crown ceremony stroked the crystal box in his arms, "You have already rescued people."

The flames dragged the people who were fished out from below to the ground. Rang, Lian Bisheng, Kong Xiu, Lan Tu, Pa He, and Ana were all there. Although some of them looked slightly pale, they were all fine. .

"There are not enough people." Lu Ning's heart sank. The red neural network below is quite large. Yan Rong directly rushed through a hole, but a large part of the area was not affected, and the rest of the people should still be lost in those areas. inside.

"Now let's have an open and honest talk about what you witnesses are doing here and where the king has gone. It is better to clarify these issues." Yan Rong said to the witnesses of the crown ceremony.

"Us? We are keeping these memories... It's not right, we are just forced to stay here and look at these memories..." The witness of the crown ceremony laughed lowly, "Now, the footsteps are approaching, I can hear it, that piece of The sound of thunder is approaching here..."

At this moment, Lan Tu took out an earphone connected to a microphone and put it on his head.

"The location of the witnesses of the Crown Ceremony has been determined, and the data collection has been completed, but the relevant memories of the three witnesses are about to merge. How to deal with it?"

Everyone was taken aback, including Ana and Pao.

"Lan Tu? Didn't you say you didn't know anything?" Ana asked immediately.

"Sorry, I signed a non-disclosure contract, and I must keep some aspects of it secret from you." Lan Tu said calmly, "This is for safety. If you don't know about it, there won't be too much danger."

"Can you make it clear now?" Pai's mechanical brain was able to remain calm.

"It's very simple, this is a regular inspection, but this regular cycle is 30 years. The nobles always need to check whether the most dangerous part of the memory sealed by the king is still in a dormant state, and if it has awakened, then emergency measures must be taken, including But it is not limited to the memory cleansing of the three witnesses, the re-separation of the space and time of the three locations, and—preparing to deal with the super-large event of "glory of the past."

"You—what did you say?" This time it was the witness of the crown ceremony who asked the question.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Agent, your escape plan is just a repetition of this 30-year cycle. You are indeed in a space that cannot be supervised, but it does not mean that the nobles are ignorant of your actions. After all, the nobles are ordered by the king. To manage this kingdom on behalf of the king, everything should be under control." Lan Tu said, taking off the earphones.White flames wrapped around the earphones, amplifying the sound coming from inside.

"I have received reports from three special mission exploration teams. It has been confirmed that the Broken Mirror Ruins, the Eternal Tribulation Corridor, and the Deep Palace prison have been connected in terms of time and space, and the memory channel has been opened. Special agent Lan Tu, evacuate immediately, next The incident is handled by the nobles, repeat, evacuate immediately."

"Not all of my teammates have come out yet." Lan Tu sighed, "I have to bring them out, this is my promise."

"Then, you will be protected and transferred by the foreign affairs officers of Mist, Dacapo, Nest and Samurai. Please keep in touch." The response on the other side was also very fast.

"Thank you."

At this time, it was the witness of the crown ceremony who looked incredible: "Impossible! Since they can't monitor this place, how can they know it well? We... How long have we been imprisoned? How many times have we been reset?"

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound of thunder in the dark hall, and the door at the back, which had not been paid special attention by everyone, was forcefully opened, and several figures stood there.

"Huh? Someone already got there first?" Han Xizhe stood up with his long knife and looked indifferently at the people in the hall.

thump.

A sound like a beating heart came from below, and Lu Ning saw that the red nerve group that was punched out by Yan Rong suddenly accelerated its healing, and within a few seconds it spun a dense net again.Immediately afterwards, rapid breathing was heard in everyone's ears.

Something shattered overhead - the shattering sound made everyone look up, a baby was crying on the ceiling, but for the baby there, it should be the ground Guess what, the long umbilical cord stretched out, coiled Hanging down to the hollow below, Yan Rong threw his hand and shot, but the golden flame seemed to hit the phantom at this moment, and could not affect the umbilical cord to continue to fall at all.

Then, a bell rang from nowhere, and mournful music resounded in the hall like a funeral, a circle of ghostly fire was lit around, and an urn smashed at the feet of the witnesses of the crowning ceremony, and the gray-white powder exploded into pieces. A cloud of fog began to settle downward.

Lu Ning heard the crying, which came from the witness of the crowning ceremony. The chain in his hand had been opened at some point, and he was reaching out to take out the crown from the crystal box.He rolled off his seat and fell to his knees, sobbing as he lifted the crown over his head.

A clear sound of the blade being pulled out resounded in the hall, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, no one pulled out the weapon at this time, the sound came from below.

=
"Deep Palace Prison, the sixth super-large event 'Glory of the Past' has been generated."

On the top of the tallest tower in the royal capital, the Mist foreign officer who had met Lan Tu late at night held the white light in his palm and gave a report.

"The situation is not yet clear, please continue to provide effective intelligence analysis from Eyesight. All foreign affairs officers on this mission must be equipped with artificial minds provided by Samurai, and register life copy tags in Mist. All time and space states only follow the calibration provided by Dacapo and Nest. Alarm will block all means of leaking intelligence, and Sacrifice is prepared to deal with any concurrency caused by 'glory of the past'."

At this time, the palace in the distance suddenly blurred for a while, and then, the whole palace was divided into uniform squares and floated into the air.

The foreign officer was silent for a moment, and said: "I have witnessed the effect of the weapon 'Void Latitude and Weft', so it can be concluded that the king has awakened."
