Returning from the abyss

Chapter 728
12724 floors, starry sky.

The wide dome is complemented by stars, and there are countless golden spots shining in the darkness, which looks extremely beautiful.

Is this really the Red Hell?It can even make people have such doubts for a while.

Below the dome is a huge circular square, and along the edge of the square are covered with circular floors. There are three floors in total, and the walls are white marble sculptures.On the circular square in the center, there are five-petal carvings carved in the shape of plum blossoms. Only in the carvings are there a lot of bloodstains, as if many people died here.The strangest thing is that it is clean outside the range of the glyph, even if any blood threads spread there, it will be cut off suddenly.

After observing carefully, Lu Ning raised her hand above a petal, then cut her finger to let some blood flow into the petal.

"Is this enough?" Qian Yipeng asked.

"No, I think this is just the first step, but there must be blood... I don't think this little blood is enough to share the pain I need to bear."

"What is this place?" Xin Mi walked around the wall first, looked at the decorations on the wall, and then asked Long Tiangang to check the mechanism here.Deng Zhiyi didn't need to continue the lighting here, so he sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for the result here.

Lu Ning retreated after dripping some blood, Qian Yipeng and Yan Zidan did the same thing, but Xin Mi and the others were still watching.After about 5 minutes, all the petals suddenly lifted a little.

[Receptor detection...completed. 】

A voice from nowhere echoed in the vast hall.

"Death receptor test...it really is."

The surrounding walls suddenly lit up, and some originally meaningless lines were connected into words through the lit parts, and the test results were displayed on it——

Li Wenyue 173826/300000
Qian Yipeng 231832/300000
Yanzidan 231929/300000
"Good guy..." Deng Zhiyi looked at the numbers and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Does this represent the number of deaths of our replicas?" Qian Yipeng asked.

"If there are no accidents, it should be like this. I know you are going to ask about the result again, but don't forget that Yan Meng died after staying here for a while, and the time advancement here still has a certain The effectiveness has not been completely offset. If the Red Hell can leave in this way, wouldn't it be too easy for those evil spirits?"

"Then do we still have to wait for these replicas to die? Let's not talk about Qian Yipeng and me... Li Wenyue, did you die a little too little?" Yan Zidan said.

This doesn't sound like a good thing, but Lu Ning has to say that this is indeed a problem she didn't consider - even if her clone doesn't know a lot of analysis about the Red Hell, and even deprives part of her thinking ability, In terms of quality, he is also much better than a few college students, and this gap is now clearly displayed here.

For the first time, Lu Ning actually had to think about what to do if she was too strong.

At this time, Xin Mi also came over and dripped blood into the petals.

"It looks like we did take that approach, but what's the point of testing this?" she asked.

"Xin Mi, you should have imagined it." Lu Ning asked back.

"Okay." Xin Mi sighed, "What you are looking for here is one of the links we are doing, isn't it? As long as we find one link, we should be able to complete a series of preparations..."

"Yes, because no one cares about this kind of number except us." Lu Ning glanced at the writing on the wall again. She was actually a little surprised. If she really shot herself, then why? Didn't take into account the power gap?In that case, I would definitely not be able to go out with everyone.

However, if Xin Mi is ready to verify it, there is still a reference for comparison.

"It seems that the number of people we designed is 30, everyone is the same." Xin Mi glanced at the result of about 19 that appeared on the wall, and nodded, "Everyone's progress is different. If we just planned like this To a certain extent, even if this plan can be successful, there is no guarantee that everyone can leave here together. According to what you said, the outside is also dangerous, I'm afraid...it's not easy, right?"

"If you and I have thought about this question, then why didn't we arrange it? Can't we? Or is there another plan?" Lu Ning asked, "In other words, what approach will we choose now?"

"I will devise a plan that can harvest all of them in the end." Xin Mi said cold words.

"it is as expected."

"You don't agree?"

"I agree, but this plan will be more specific." Lu Ning smiled, "I will let this army do its best to open the final path for us."

"What is the final path?" Deng Zhiyi asked from a distance.

"For us, it is the floor below the ninth floor. The floor that does not exist is different from the floor that exists after all. As far as the red bead monster was concerned, it was much different than any one we saw upstairs. It makes my heart jump, don't you feel that way?"

"So, I dare to cut those zombies, but I don't have the courage to fight that monster at all... How about you, Brother Long?" Deng Zhiyi turned his head.

"I have no intention of fighting, and I always think that if I fight, I will die." Long Tiangang also admitted.

"Although fear is a problem that humans can overcome, it is also a signal of self-protection. I think it is better not to ignore it. From my point of view, it can be detected arbitrarily, and the original floor is the most dangerous— —Even the stairs are preventing us from going down, if the elevator didn’t meet those people, we wouldn’t be able to go to the ninth floor.”

"Speaking of... what's going on with those people?" Yan Zidan asked, "Even if the time is chaotic, it's the time after the Red Prison, right? Could it be that even the time before was dragged into it?"

"No..." Xin Mi replied, "I think they just had a different time than us. We discovered the abnormality here after a while, and the exact time point is also unclear. I think these people are just at that time. During the process—wait a minute, Dalong, did you talk to the person in the elevator?"

"Yes." Long Tiangang nodded, "Only me."

"Have you seen the picture that Li Wenyue showed us? It already has a reminder not to talk to strangers." Xin Mi said with some reproach and worry.

"First, it is still unknown whether all the prompts are reliable. Even if the black words are left by our clones, the origin and tone of the red words are different from the black words, and the credibility has not yet been confirmed. Second, among the elevator people, we only It's a stranger, who is it that violated the scarlet letter?"

"This temptation is too bold, Brother Long." Deng Zhiyi snorted, "We need to discuss this kind of thing with us in the future."

"I don't know about duplication yet, so I have to be prepared."

"...I can't say no to you."

While they were chatting, Lu Ning checked the surroundings with Qian Yipeng and Yan Zidan.Normally, since this is a link, and she has considered this situation, she should leave some hints.

Indelible reminder?
Lu Ning thought for a moment, took out the sawtooth of fate, smeared a bit of flesh and blood from it, and put it among the petals.

【Zheng Yunting 0/8380】

"Very well, this is the floor."

=
The sound of bones smashing came from the next door.

Chen Hang dragged Zhou Shilan and ran wildly, while Duan Ye made a helpless sound from behind and used a spell to cover him.

Wang Zhongnan is dead.

He left the room with anxiety, trying to find Li Wenyue and the others, but Chen Hang still underestimated the difficulty here.They walked up the stairs for safety, after all, they already knew that they could retreat if it was dangerous.And since you know where you want to go, you can go, and you can just go back.

——It should have been like this.

They never actually left for another floor, so the excitement and fear inside them were more complicated than expected.I don't know who it will be, or maybe everyone has such a momentary thought in their minds, that is... what if there are floors that cannot be easily returned?
So there really was a floor that couldn't be easily retreated.

A floor that looks like the internal structure of an old house, but blood is everywhere, as if various murders have happened, and it even looks fresh, but there are no corpses.

Office building.

After Duan Ye blocked a back arrow fired from the gap between the ceiling and the wall, everyone finally realized the danger here.Death came almost like a shadow, and even Duan Ye couldn't deal with it all.

It wasn't a ghost attack, but a mechanism shooting that could happen in reality. The equipment on his body was almost useless, and the armor was torn apart after only blocking two crossbow arrows.

Until Chen Hang blocked a hidden arrow for Zhou Shilan, his arm was broken by an arrow.Although Duan Ye quickly stopped the bleeding for him, when his arm fell to the ground, it was caught by the tongue that suddenly appeared on the ground, followed by the sound of chewing.

Duan Ye stopped the bleeding for him, although the time was very short, but at this moment, Chen Hang also noticed that the house's attack stopped while chewing on his arm.In just three to five seconds, indeed, it doesn't take much time to eat an arm.

He himself was surprised that he could still notice these things in the severe pain of his broken arm, and he could still think in this way, and even made a deliberate act of tripping Wang Zhongnan, exposing him to the shooting of the mechanism.But he did it anyway—the fallen Wang Zhongnan was pierced by a bow and crossbow, his blood mixed with the original blood of the house, and sharp teeth appeared on the ground.

"go!"

He dragged Zhou Shilan to the stairs quickly, trying not to listen to the sound of bones smashing next door.Duan Ye built a cover in the rear, extended the delay a little bit, and then rushed to the stairs.

This time, the mood of returning was the same.

When the sign on the tenth floor appeared, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Even Duan Ye would have lingering fears about that kind of fierce mechanism combo.

"But...why...Wang Zhongnan..." Zhou Shilan asked out of breath, "What's wrong with him?"

"He's dead." Chen Hang patted Zhou Shilan with his only hand, "I'm sorry...but you have to accept this fact."

"Oh, the person we came here to save is gone." Duan Ye said with a smile.

Chen Hang glared at him, and then said, "Brother Duan, the danger outside is simply beyond imagination... Please send Shilan back, at least the room should be safe, right?"

"Oh? But I want to protect the two of you, Chen Hang." Duan Ye smiled, "And it's still in the case of your broken hand. This is completely inconsistent with my 'protection' task."

"You are not needed, and Shilan can testify for you, this is my order. Duan Ye, you must keep Shilan, understand?"

"Oh? Alright." Duan Ye nodded slightly, and then led Zhou Shilan, who was still a little dizzy, to 1003.

Chen Hang stared at them leaving with a sullen expression, then raised his head and glanced at the stairs again.

Killing Wang Zhongnan was a split-second decision. There was no other sacrifice, and he certainly would not sacrifice himself.However, since he chose to take this path, there was no need to consider some of the previous principles that he had to abide by. He hadn't really felt that his strength was holding him back before, but now he really felt it.

Ordinary weapons are not enough.

Thinking of this, Chen Hang stepped up the stairs.

=
The process of finding the mark was very smooth. After all, it was Lu Ning and Xin Mi who took the lead, and the two were very clear about how they would leave the mark, and it took almost no time.During the period, I also encountered a few dangerous floors, but as Lu Ning said, all the monsters on the derived floors can fight, without that overwhelming sense of terror.

Deng Zhiyi and Long Tiangang also showed a little bit of their bold and unrestrained fighting style. The bone knives and batons were used very straightforwardly, but one or two monsters alone could not stop the two of them at all.

Just seeing it once, Lu Ning can basically confirm that they have accepted the special implant from the supermarket.She has actually seen a lot of masters, as long as it does not involve superpowers, she can easily infer what level of strength is normal for ordinary people.If Long Tiangang and Deng Zhiyi were not veterans who had participated in the battlefield, then having such strength must be another reinforcement.

However, it is indeed the floor designed by Lu Ning and Xin Mi. After going to more than ten floors repeatedly, everyone finally completed the closed loop that did not exist.

"In this way, our strategy of copying ourselves, sharing the pain, and finally leaving by ourselves can be regarded as completing the causal chain." After letting a strange instrument scan herself, Lu Ning walked down.

"Actually, we are still not sure if this is a good thing or not," Xin Mi said.

"But other than that, we have no choice, right?" Lu Ning said.

"It really took a lot of time to go back and forth." Qian Yipeng said.

"What's wrong?" Lu Ning noticed his tone.

"The next person has uploaded their own solitaire."
