Returning from the abyss

Chapter 803 Dance With Me
Wei Haonan ate something that shouldn't be eaten.Maybe his ability is enough to kill harmful substances like germs, toxins, and even radiation, but probably not perfect enough to handle everything.And the most likely thing is...he ate the red ice bead.

I don't know if it was an accident or he did it on his own initiative. Fortunately, this did not pose a threat to Lu Ning. She directly hid her figure, but Wei Haonan was stunned immediately. There are two doors in the kitchen, and even if he blocked the door, he couldn't get Lu Ning out. Blocked in the kitchen.

"Miss Lu Ning! Where are you going? This is our chance, and I am willing to share it with you because of our good relationship! You know what it looks like outside! If there are no protective measures, we may all be like those dead guests ! You must not want to?"

"Don't want what?"

Meng Juan's voice came from outside.Wei Haonan turned his head abruptly, the expression on his face distorted.

【He learned of your sin, so he sent down fire to burn it. 】

In an instant, a huge light appeared on Wei Haonan's body, and the flames penetrated his body, burning him to pieces. Wei Haonan howled, and threw the boning knife in his hand, but the knife was in the flames. was shattered.

The whole process took only a few seconds, and Wei Haonan turned into a charred corpse.

"Are you all right? We found a lot of noise here, so I'll come over and have a look." Meng Juan came to the door and said.

"...Did you go straight to the killer?"

"Huh? He's very dangerous. I usually don't have extra sympathy at this time." Meng Juan smiled.

Lu Ning looked at him: "That's not the problem."

Wei Haonan is not a fool, he was normal in the morning, and he also provided meals for the dance party, why would he eat those red ice beads casually?Most likely someone poisoned it on purpose.Wei Haonan's broth is usually tasted by himself first. It is probably a personal habit to boil it every day, and as long as he puts it in that pot, he will definitely be tricked, and he can do it with a little understanding of Wei Haonan.Of course, normal poison can't hurt him at all, which also makes him a lot less vigilant.

Now that he is crazy, some truth may come out of his crazy words, and he has not mutated into a powerful aggressiveness, so it is not difficult to control him.But Meng Juan directly chose to kill... Lu Ning had to be suspicious, but she had no evidence.

"It's nothing, let's go back and talk about the situation here. Today's dinner is probably going to be prepared by us. The food made by Mr. Wei must have been contaminated to some extent."

"Yes, this is a headache. If it is not required in the process, we can all stop eating." Meng Juan said.

When the sad news was reported back to the hall, everyone unexpectedly did not respond. Even a good old man like Professor Xu could at most just show "Really? He died again", and more people didn't even bother to ask.

People have already started to go from panic to numbness.

"Miss Yan and Mr. Zhou haven't come back yet?" Lu Ning looked at it.

"No, but there wasn't any weird noise coming from that side. Wei Haonan's voice on your side is too loud for me to go over there." Meng Juan explained.

"Then, have you researched any way to go out?" Lu Ning asked him again.

"I probably have an idea. Tang Ling and I have researched a concept, but it has not been verified to what extent it can resist external infections. Later, Tang Ling and I will test the reliability, and we must be able to do it before night." Let everyone cover a layer of conceptual protection." Meng Juan laughed.

"Thank you." Professor Xu said.

"Where, everyone is brainstorming now, and those who are capable should contribute."

Meng Juan obviously won the favor of many people, and Lu Ning didn't even know when he did it.

About ten minutes later, Mr. Zhou and Ms. Yan walked over from the servant's room with five servants.Ye Yunmei's arms still couldn't be used properly, and they were hanging down beside her, but Qu Langyue walked normally, and there was hardly any problem.

After learning of Wei Haonan's bad news, the servants were also silent for a long time, and finally Feng Yuanxi took Tian Xiao to clean up the corpses in the kitchen, leaving three servants here to wait for orders from the guests at any time.

Meng Juan dragged Tang Ling to the back door to test his abilities.The time gradually approached three o'clock. At this point in time, everyone wanted to recommend someone to recite the poem. The poem was already prepared, but the selection of the candidate became another problem.With the precedent of He Shanyong, who would dare to undertake such a task now?Who knows if it will be the same?
In the end, Ms. Yan stood up: "Since I chose from your men last time, I will come this time, and I will recite the poem."

Lu Ning saw a few people showing relieved expressions.Ms. Yan is similar to Mr. Zhou. They are not approachable people, but they have a strong sense of responsibility. Maybe she can't bear such an atmosphere.

Three o'clock approached, Feng Yuanxi went to the back door to consult Meng Juan and Tang Ling's opinions, and then returned to the living room, announcing that the choice was valid, this time the candidate for the poem recitation was Miss Yan.Miss Yan walked to a small table that had been prepared, picked up the poem sealed in the owner's unique envelope from the table, pulled out the paper, and cleared her throat.

[At the junction of the sky and the sky, between the sea of ​​stars and the sea of ​​stars, I glimpse the existence above the torrent of time, and listen to the rhythm above the dimension and gravity. 】

Ms. Yan intentionally did not mix any emotion in her voice, and just recited the words on the paper dryly.And everyone looked nervously at Miss Yan's state.No one dared to leave the house for He Shanyong that time, but if there was any change in Ms. Yan's place, they would be able to rescue them in time.

【The purple iris expanding from the inside out reflects my dazed and ignorant face. I don't know how to respond to the expectation of such an existence, so I can only pray in fear—begging to be informed...】

The light seems to have dimmed a bit.

Lu Ning and several people with keen senses immediately noticed the changes in the surrounding environment.She turned her head and glanced outside, and the sky that had obviously stopped snowing began to become gloomy again, but this time the gloom was very different from usual, because it was not the dark clouds that gathered, but the sky began to "spread", as if The falsehood that covered people's heads disappeared, and the real appearance of the entire universe began to appear in people's field of vision.

The poem continued, but Lu Ning was completely attracted by the scene outside the window.

In the dark cosmic space, the substances that human beings cannot observe but exist between the stars are beginning to show their true appearance at this moment.They're not actually far away, they're everywhere.If the stars are nerve cells, the spaces between them are filled with the synapses that connect them.Lu Ning can even see the signals transmitted in it... as if... the universe is alive, and it uses a very slow way to maintain the connection between every cell in the body with difficulty.

At this time, a sharp pain came from her head, Lu Ning shook her head vigorously, stood up while covering her temples.In an instant, the dim light, the nature of the universe...all of these disappeared from sight.She knew that this was the final defensive measure of [Requiem] being activated. When the spirit was fatally attacked, [Requiem] could provide a defensive reflection mechanism of forced cleansing and sobriety, although it would have a certain impact on the spirit, but Much better than irreversible consequences.

Except for Lu Ning and the two people who were not present, everyone in the room closed their eyes tightly, reading the poem slowly along with Miss Yan's emotionless voice.

15 minutes had passed long ago.Lu Ning quickly rushed over and snatched the paper from Miss Yan's hand, found a lighter on the table and lit the paper.A strong smell of rancidity and burnt meat emanated from the paper. As the note turned to ashes, people opened their eyes together.

"Ah... ho..."

The short-haired white-collar worker suddenly held his neck and began to vomit, followed by an infection, and everyone started to vomit.For a moment, the whole hall was filled with a sour smell. Lu Ning held her nose and took a few steps back. After everyone had vomited once, she could only retch and said, "Speak soberly."

"Huh... still... still alive..." Miss Yan said with difficulty.

"I didn't expect it to be the danger of all the staff." Mr. Zhou was also terrified, "It's impossible to guard against."

Michael stuck out his tongue and leaned back against the sofa, panting: "This is really horrible, I was almost intoxicated in that place."

"I can't tell the truth from the fake now..." Qi Leyin said in fear, "Is the world we live in really like that? Are we just some bacteria in the universe that don't even have 'sight'?"

"Miss Lu Ning saved us just now, thank you very much." Feng Yuanxi said solemnly, "If there is a little carelessness, all of us may be captured by this poem."

"It's okay, I don't know why I woke up from the nightmare. By the way, I don't know if there is anything wrong with Meng Juan. I'll go and have a look. This hall... needs to be cleaned." Lu Ning quickly found an excuse to slip away gone.

She rubbed her temples, and the mental trauma brought about by the compulsory sobriety measures is estimated to be accompanied by a scene. Fortunately, it is different from soul pollution, and it can be repaired after returning to the distribution center.When she got to the back door, she saw Meng Juan and Tang Ling squatting at the door, conducting experiments, and the materials were those little hands that He Shanyong had split.

"Are you two okay?"

"What? Is there a problem with the poem recitation?" Meng Juan asked.

"Crowd nightmare, almost fell. It seems that you can avoid this problem if you don't listen, but it may be difficult for the recitation to be saved. What about your research?" Lu Ning looked, Tang Ling was putting Those little hands turned into little mice, many of which died outside, and the body also had some structures between the mice and the hands.

"Successful." Meng Juan pointed to a dead mouse under his feet, "I have constructed a concept, covered by this concept, the mouse did not return... that is, it changed back to the shape of the hand. So This concept can perfectly resist the erosion of the external environment. However, when I wanted to check the external situation just now, I got some bad news. It seems that the network communication has been interrupted. This time it is not our problem, but the external problem. .”

"Obviously, if the communication is not cut off, no matter what kind of doomsday human beings can organize effective resistance, the order will not be completely lost within a few days." Tang Ling said a little bored, "When only the army can only use When the horn is hooting, efficiency is slowed down like a paralyzed patient trying to fend off someone hitting him."

Fantastic metaphor.

"I can announce this good news to everyone. After the poem recitation just now, the situation in the hall is not very good." Lu Ning said.

"I was about to talk." Meng Juan clapped his hands and got up.

The two took a step first, while Lu Ning took a step down and glanced at the dead mice on the ground.Although Tang Ling can change flesh and blood at will, he can't give them new life at all.

The news brought by Meng Juan finally cheered people up a bit. Unfortunately, this is only the effect of superpowers and cannot be widely used. Otherwise, it would be no less than a countermeasure for humans.

As for the five o'clock dinner, under the unanimous opinion of everyone, some ready-to-eat food was taken out of the food storage room and gathered in the hall to eat together. At the same time, some food and water were also stored for leaving the Hongmei Pavilion.No one knows what the outside world has become after leaving here.But now everyone is in a better mood and can say a few words to make the atmosphere less dull. Only Mr. Zhou has been studying those bugs and has not participated in the discussion at all.

At nine o'clock, it was already dark outside. The servants in the house lit up all the lights, and the record player played music again. In two hours, we will be able to successfully escape from this weird mansion. Even Lu Ning felt a little more anticipation in her heart.

"Please dance together. This time, including the servants, you have to dance for 10 minutes. Whether it's a solo dance or looking for a partner, please feel free." Feng Yuanxi bowed lightly, and then stepped onto the dance floor.

Lu Ning can't dance, but she can just stretch her body to the music.Tian Xiao carefully chose the same music as at noon to prevent things like poetry recitation from happening again.Professor Xu also came over and chatted with her about some details that happened during the poem recitation. The two discussed in a low voice while dancing briskly.

After a topic was over, Lu Ning looked up by chance, and found that probably because of some fear, people also jumped up in groups of two, although many of them were like her side, but the two moved in the same direction.

"Little friend, if everything is not unknown now, I would still like you to go to my place to study. Of course, as a superpower user, you may not like some things..." Professor Xu sighed.

"...Professor, do you still remember how many people have died so far?"

"I remember... If you count the missing and Han Xiaoyou, there are two servants and six guests." Professor Xu recalled, "Although I am old, my memory has not deteriorated."

"Seven servants and sixteen guests, eight died, and the remaining number is... fifteen."
