Returning from the abyss

Chapter 67 Secret
Space teleportation is a characteristic of stitchers. Although the farther the distance is, the lower the accuracy is, but there is no possibility of mistakes in such close combat.

In the blink of an eye, it had already teleported behind Lu Ning, and the bone claw swung down, cutting Lu Ning from head to toe!

"Behind!"

Lu Ning, who was supposed to be beheaded, came from the air less than three meters away. Shu Xingruo immediately turned around when he heard the sound, and seven or eight vines shot out like spears, passing through Lu Ning's phantom. Straight to the stitcher's chest.In the blink of an eye, the Stitcher was able to start up again, disappeared instantly, and this time appeared on top of Sun Mozhu's head!
"Transport so fast!"

Now Lu Ning's voice began to echo around like an echo. Not only the stitcher, but even the two teammates couldn't find where she was. This was the battle plan discussed by the three of them before.

"Head!"

Lu Ning, who could clearly see where the teleportation landed, was in charge of warning.

And Shu Xingruo, who is fused with the black egg, and Sun Mozhu, who is a force type, are responsible for suppressing it!

Throwing the three throwing knives side by side, Sun Mozhu just rolled on the spot to avoid the blow from the air, and incidentally gave the stitcher a backhand blow from close range.This time the Stitcher finally failed to teleport away, and managed to block two with his bone claws, and the third hit its chest, making a soft sound.

"Scales! Try blunt!"

Lu Ning's reaction was quick, and Shu Xingruo's was even faster. When the echo was still there, the vines in the air began to deform and intertwine into a huge sickle shape, sweeping directly with the force of turning around!
boom!
Like a ball hit by a baseball player, the Stitcher, who couldn't dodge, was sent flying by the blow.

Without a huge body and pre-prepared legions, the combat effectiveness of the Stitcher itself is not outstanding.Lu Ning locked every position it could teleport to, and after more than ten consecutive teleportation attacks failed, the scales on its body also began to fall off due to several counterattacks.

But for Lu Ning, it was still very troublesome.The stitcher has done a good job of protecting the core on the forehead, or it doesn't care how the parasitic body is damaged. Coupled with the dodge ability of teleportation, even if they can't hurt the three people on their side, they can still There is no way to take the other party.

"We must kill with one blow!"

Lu Ning shouted.

"Is there any good way?" Sun Mozhu asked.

"Lead the snake out of its hole!"

After a twist in the air, Lu Ning suddenly appeared about five meters away from the two of them!

"Its first target is definitely me!"

After appearing, Lu Ning immediately pointed in front of her, took out a knife with the other hand and stabbed at him.

But if the stitcher realizes that it is a phantom again, he can teleport it immediately. It is necessary to make it "hit". Only in this way can he buy time... time to kill himself!
The figure of the suturer pounced in the air, this time the speed of the bone claw was indeed a little slow, and it seemed that it was ready to flee at any time, but when the sharp bone knife cut the skin and spurted blood, its muscles immediately tightened, Get excited right away!
Lu Ning avoided the first blow, and fell to the side. A rough killing array tripped him under the stitcher's feet, which only made his body tilt slightly, but did not affect his balance.

The stitcher stabbed out with both hands, and all ten bone blades sank into Lu Ning's body. At the same time, a black vine spear flew towards him rapidly, accurately smashing the black core on top of its head that was temporarily unprotected.

The air bounced slightly, and the stitcher fell down in response, lying in a pool of blood with Lu Ning.

"Cough, almost..."

Shu Xingruo and Sun Mozhu hurried over to check, and the situation in front of them reassured them a little.It's not that Lu Ning didn't use illusions, it's just that this time the body was slightly off, which also made the stitcher miss the fatal part with the last blow.

"You are really brave..."

"I'm sure I won't die...Well, can your vines plug the wound?"

Lu Ning gritted her teeth and smiled while holding the wound on her side, and looked at the body of the "stitcher": "Is it dead? Do you want to mend it?"

Sun Mozhu walked over and took off the mask covering his face, revealing Zhao Yinran's frightened and desperate face below, and shook his head after trying it.

"Dead, they are all dead."

"It's really... hiss—"

Lu Ning took a breath, and looked down at two tiny vines that were piercing into her wound for sutures. The pain was secondary, but the main reason was that she was uncomfortable looking at it.

"If you know it hurts, don't use such dangerous methods." Shu Xingruo knocked her on the head with a bit of resentment.

"I regret my life... the pain!"

"But it's really hard to imagine that this monster who made such a big splash in the hospital was dealt with so easily." Sun Mozhu threw away the piece of meat in his hand, and clapped his hands in disgust.

"In the hospital, it has a body as big as a whole floor. Its core is buried at nowhere. There are also guarding troops and space teleportation attacks. Now it's obvious that it can't even control a body." Lu Ning looked at it. Those "people" who slid out not far away, they are all silent now.

"It is estimated that the people here have been dealt with silently, just like them." After Shu Xingruo finished stitching, he also walked over to check it out, but he didn't show any discomfort with the hideous appearance.These people are just poor people who are being transformed. I am afraid that more people will die in the same way.

After a short rest, when Lu Ning felt able to move, they went down the stairs to the underground floor.Sure enough, I didn't see a single person along the way, all the offices and laboratories were tidied up, and I couldn't find any useful information.

Up to the third basement floor, after going down the stairs, there is only a straight metal corridor full of modern technology. At the end of the corridor is a thick door with an electronic combination lock.

A simple six-digit password, next to it is a face-sized LCD screen, and cameras and alarm devices can be seen around it. Although such security measures seem to be okay, it is a bit of a joke for important items in the research institute.

"password……"

Shu Xingruo was in a bit of trouble, the three of them couldn't violently demolish such a door, but where could they find the password?They also don't have people who are good at electronic equipment.

"Could it be found somewhere upstairs?" Sun Mozhu asked.

"I don't have much hope, this is not a decryption game." Lu Ning carefully looked at the input keys of the combination lock, and found that it was as new as if it had never been used, and it was impossible to find any traces of wear and tear.

At this moment, the LCD screen suddenly lit up.

A long-recorded image appeared on the screen. There was no one there, but a glass cylinder was placed on a table, and a black core was sealed inside.

"If you find this place and trigger this video, it means you've figured out something."

Cheng Wuling's characteristic plain narrative tone came from the background.

"I don't know who will come. I guess Lu Ning should be among them. If she wants to say something, Shu Xingruo is also there. After all, I have left enough reminders for you two. First of all, this door is forbidden to enter , don’t try to break open violently. The door itself is designed at the level of a refuge, and it cannot be opened with ordinary power. If you bring people from the Occult Society, I advise you not to do this, because it will push us to an unstoppable situation. The opposite of redemption, just like Zhao Yinran."

Having said that, a hand wearing a white glove picked up the glass column on the table.

"First of all, this is not a survival scenario. Even if the mission fails, it will not lead to death. At most, the points earned will be less. On this basis, please think clearly whether to continue your investigation. The Silent Project is now It has probably already started to be implemented. This plan is simply an operation to kill the mouth. Anyone who understands the core content will die, and eventually the whole of Danma will be involved. You have already heard the news of the mysterious deaths of many people who witnessed the flying saucer. It can be regarded as part of the plan. The existence of the protoss can only be kept in legends, and those who have witnessed it, including their descendants within a few generations, must be eliminated. This is a rigid rule given to us by the mission."

She spoke calmly, at this time the person wearing white gloves finally turned to the table and sat down holding the core in both hands.That was Zhao Yinran, with dull eyes and stiff movements, like a marionette repeating itself.

"A little bit about what can be said, that is, the technology of Protoss is biological, which is very different from mechanical civilization. This kind of biological technology has great advantages within a certain range, but on the other hand, it is completely different from mechanical civilization. I have ignored some methods in mechanical civilization. What should be done so far has been completed, and we have no reason to kill other camps, so we will not deliberately target anyone in the next two days of cleaning operations. If you give up this Then try to survive until the early morning of the 27th, and leave Danma within the time frame of [-]:[-] to [-]:[-]. The premise is that you have not touched the part that is really confidential—I will choose some vague photos of Zhao Yinran to send to You, whether you can avoid it is up to you. Then, I wish you all the best."

As Cheng Wuling's voice disappeared, Zhao Yinran on the screen slammed the glass pillar into pieces, grabbed the black core and pressed it hard on his forehead.

The screen is terminated.

The three looked at each other, Lu Ning took two steps away from the door, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with difficulty: "Sorry, I think we should leave here."

"Are you scared?" Sun Mozhu showed no fear, "She's just threatening us. My mission is to expose the truth and get out of here? Is it so close?"

"We are at a disadvantage now. If we insist on exploring, we will lose our lives!"

"It doesn't sound like someone who just fought their lives said something."

"I said before, I will only take risky actions when I am sure that I will not die! Now I have no certainty to escape from Cheng Wuling's pursuit after seeing the so-called secret!"

"Her subordinates have been defeated a lot, she is not invincible."

"That's because she wants you to think so! I don't know Cheng Wuling very well, but I know she is not someone who can miscalculate the power comparison. I..."

"I don't want to accuse you of anything." Sun Mozhu shook his head, "Lu Ning, you are not a seeker, so you don't need to bear the risks and responsibilities brought about by this task, but I am different. Our goals are actually somewhat different , Cheng Wuling clearly put this difference in front of us, she stopped you, but I have to move forward."

"I won't...continue...sorry." Lu Ning glanced at Shu Xingruo blankly.

"But is this really good?" Shu Xingruo said after receiving the help-seeking gaze, "As Cheng Wuling said, even if you didn't complete the task this time, it's just a lower score, compared to the possible death result. It should be an easy choice, right?"

"Did you forget that the test field this time is not only a confrontation type but also a secret type?"

Sun Mozhu said helplessly.
