Returning from the abyss

Chapter 864 Pathfinding
The interrogation process was actually not troublesome. It seemed that they were afraid of Tan Ya. These people knew almost everything about the questions that Lu Ning wanted to ask. Maybe it was also because Lu Ning didn't ask about their core secrets.

This is an attack time led by believers of the "Eclipse" Mantra, which gathered several small believer organizations. Choose your followers.Adding new enemies is a nuisance for any awakened mantra, so their followers must help their masters eradicate possible hazards.

It’s just that the strength of these mantra believers is worrying. According to the confessions of three people, there are only seven of the ten mantra believers who have reached the level of reality twisters. distinguish.

The level of these three people is only "level picker", just higher than the entry level "disciple".Those above the level-uppers need to go through "feathering" to become "reality twisters".The level pickers can only serve as auxiliary work in such operations. Each of them has a little bit of their own tasks, but they don't know why they do it at all.

"Shooting, keeping the ground moist somewhere nearby, and smoking." Lu Ning thought about the respective tasks of the three people, which seemed to be the strange requirements of some rituals she had obtained from Mantra, but only from these few hours It is impossible to deduce the whole picture of the whole ceremony from the behavior.

And the person suspected of being a reality twister was killed by Tan Ya...

Lu Ning thought about it, and went out to look at the previous positions of the three people to see if there were any more clues to the ceremony.But as soon as she turned around, she saw that the three of them had fallen to the ground, bleeding from their orifices, while Tan Ya was standing by and carefully putting on the false nails again.

"you……"

"Oh, the sins of these three people are not serious enough to die..." Tan Ya said with a little regret.

Lu Ning ran over in three or two steps. Even though Tan Ya said that just now, she walked to the side of the three people and checked, and they were all dead.

"Tin Ya, you..."

"Ah, don't worry, the evidence of the believers on them will be kept in the open. At that time, it will not be the police. There must be more professional people to deal with it. This base will definitely not be hindered by things like dead people." Tan Ya smiled. Explanation.

"That's not the problem, is it? We took people away, and if we track them down, we're likely to be found!"

"If they leave alive, then a group of villains will track us down. For me, it's better to let more official people find out. If you are so scared, you can push it on me."

"It's not that I'm afraid." Lu Ning stared at Tan Ya, "Did you do it on purpose?"

"Oh, I'm so obvious?" Tan Ya licked her nails, "To be honest, I do feel a little bored, that Donald really likes to pursue stability, and the result of stability is to advance the clues bit by bit. Can't find much use for it."

"So... you are the one who has the mantra? And you killed that man so easily just now, which means that you got it as soon as you came up..."

"No." Tan Ya interrupted Lu Ning, "Like these few, I am just a person who has stepped into the level of a level-upper, far from being able to directly present the truth in reality. One step is just because of some particularities. And Lu Ning, if I'm not mistaken, you already know the information about the mantra, right? We are all the same, aren't we? Our assigned identities are inherently easier Favored by inspiration."

"Is everyone in the cast?" Lu Ning asked again.

"How could I know this. If I ask you, have all the people in your photography team been blessed by the truth? Can you answer me?" Tan Ya immediately threw the question back.

Obviously, Lu Ning didn't know how many of her companions had the same opportunity as herself.

"I understand."

"In short, if you have any troubles, just lead them to me. I like it very much." Tan Ya patted Lu Ning's shoulder nonchalantly, "What did you find? Tell me about it?"

"There is no particularly in-depth harvest. At most, I know that some mantra believers have gathered to try to kill a newly awakened mantra, but now it seems to have failed. The scene has been blocked, and internal and external information cannot be exchanged. The ceremony just detonated It’s just a few buildings and they’re just messing things up.”

"Impossible? If it's these little guys, they might be messing around like chickens without heads, but there must be a reality bender leading this group of people, right? Those guys must know what the real purpose of the ceremony is?"

"What was the extent of the man you killed first?"

"It's just feathering. Unlike reality benders, they must go through the secret environment to launch attacks on specific targets. Once they are killed in the secret environment, their own demise will not be known to the outside world." Tan Ya Pull out their belongings from the three corpses on the ground and place them next to the corpses.

With her understanding like this, Lu Ning suspected that this was not the first time she had killed someone in this scene.

"I still have something I want to investigate, so I'm leaving first."

"See you later~"

Lu Ning left this dangerous woman and returned to the outskirts of Area 25. At this moment, the crowd had dispersed a little, because the fire had been suppressed, and there seemed to be no excitement inside.However, the surrounding area is still in a state of blockade. The security force in the film and television base is very strong, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

The sky had already turned dark, and the surrounding lights were also lit up, but they were sparse and dull.After all, District 25 is not considered an officially open area. In this way, fewer people are willing to stay around to watch the excitement, and it is also convenient for Lu Ning to re-investigate.

The behavior of the two people who keep the humidity and smoke is actually obviously related to water and fire, and in the ritual, the basic elements are actually essential.It's just that these two behaviors are not easy to detect. One only needs to secretly pour water on the ground with a drink bottle, and the other only needs to smoke.Lu Ning guessed that there were more such minions performing similar tasks outside, acting as part of the ceremony. Now that it was time for people to disperse, perhaps the ceremony had already been performed.

It is difficult to judge its specific function for a ceremony that has not yet started, because Lu Ning can't even tell whether the ceremony is ready or not.But if it is a completed ceremony, with so many people, it is inevitable that clues will be left behind.

"A lot of cigarette butts." Lu Ning found the first position. After the smoker among the two brothers disappeared, it seemed that someone would take over the position soon.

Ordinary cheap cigarettes don't have much reference value. Professionals can find people through things like saliva on cigarette butts, but Lu Ning herself doesn't have that function.In addition, there were more than twenty cigarette butts on the ground. Lu Ning estimated the time when she left, and it was impossible for one person to smoke all of them.

The second place, the soil that was watered.

It is impossible to judge here. After all, the time of leaving is not too long. The place the person chose is the soil of the roadside trees, and the moisturizing ability is better than that of the stone road. It is impossible to see if anyone will pour water here afterwards.

But in these two places, some extended traces can already be seen. Just as Lu Ning thought, this ceremony has actually been successfully completed, or at least completed as a few reality twisters intended.She continued to walk along the trace, and soon found the location of the third clue.

A few trees near the roots were scratched with a knife, and if you don't look at them together, you can't see the meaning at all.The calibration of the three positions has allowed Lu Ning to see some of the trajectories, and there are indeed traces of many mantras behind it.

She reached out to touch the knife in her bosom, and then sent a message to Ke Daolin, Qu Yi, and Guo Xiao, telling them that she was going to check the situation in District 25, and then set off after explaining what she found.

Although the overall effect of the ceremony is not yet clear, Lu Ning already knows what the opened channel is.The conspiracy of the reality-benders is not just to let a mantra continue to sleep, they pursue more, and the "bridge" she has seen before is actually among this group of people.

With the coordination of the ceremony, the "bridge" for connection, communication, and passage has formed a channel connecting the mantra and reality. No wonder the people found on the outside are all minions, and those who actually do things have probably already entered Opposite the bridge.But this time Lu Ning didn't dare to go directly across the bridge. The last time it was a personal enmity, there was only one person guarding the other side of the bridge, and this time it would definitely not be such a weak guard.

She felt herself through a dizzying wall and didn't even know when. The blockade personnel on the outskirts of District 25 have all disappeared. There is only a quiet night, with lights shining on the road, and there are no stars or moon.

"My head... hurts." Lu Ning couldn't help pressing her temples, and the sequelae of using mantra knowledge began to appear, but now it is no longer a matter of dependence. What I originally understood, which ones were brought to me by the mantra.

A black-gray stone bridge is tens of meters away. One end of the bridge is on the ground, while the other end extends towards the sky.In the starless sky, many finger-thin tentacles hang down, and their distribution seems to be irregular.

What if the tentacles were originally people?
Lu Ning walked into the area of ​​No. 25. There was not only one bridge like that just now. Several similar bridges were erected around No. 25, but they did not intersect in the air.Lu Ning walked up to one of the tentacles and took a look at the end of the tentacles. It was indeed the same height as the head of a human standing upright at about 1.7 meters, and the rest of the tentacles were at about the same height.

Of course, there are no people in this world.These tentacles are probably just... some kind of representation of real people.

At this time, Lu Ning heard a slightly harsh voice.Like metal rubbing against the floor, or more specifically, like dragging a heavy weapon down the street.

Lu Ning was vigilant, and immediately hid behind a house. She didn't poke her head out of curiosity, but judged the opponent's moving speed based on the loudness of the voice.

There is no sound of footsteps—theoretically speaking, there is a physical entity holding the weapon by dragging and dragging, and it must bear part of the weight itself, so there will definitely be footsteps.Lu Ning even pressed her ears to the ground, but still could only hear the dragging sound, so... Could it be something floating?
She couldn't be sure, and didn't want to risk looking with her eyes.Lu Ning didn't come out from behind the house until the dragging sound disappeared.

With such a thing existing, she shouldn't stay for too long.After thinking for a while, Lu Ning tried to reach out and touch one of the tentacles.

The moment her fingers and tentacles touched, Lu Ning suddenly felt the shadow of a flying bird passing in front of her eyes, and there was some faint stench coming from her nostrils, which seemed to be the smell of wild animals in the forest.After the flying birds passed by, she suddenly found herself standing beside a blue ocean, with five dim suns hanging in the sky, one of which had already sunk halfway, and the clouds in the sky appeared radially from the five suns as the center. The near-radiation spread out.Behind her is a forest that has regrown on the ruined city, and Asuka has fallen into that dense forest.

Lu Ning was a little surprised for a moment, but she had already grasped the handle of the knife in her arms. She exhaled slightly, and a cloud of white mist appeared in the air.

This is where the mantra can be applied directly.

Sure enough, did I come to the world of mantra?No, it might be the junction of the harbor and the sea. If this is really the sea, there is nothing wrong with it.

But no one.

Lu Ning lowered her head, and she was stepping on fine black sand. There were many fine and shiny things in the sand, which were as bright as diamonds.Some large black reefs are being beaten by the waves. Every time they are beaten, some sand will obviously fall on them, but these gaps are growing again, as if the stones are living creatures.

She felt a little sick, and now she didn't want to think about what the black sand she was stepping on was.

At this moment, the three mantras on his body didn't respond at all, so pretending to be dead is a must.

Lu Ning walked forward, towards the ocean.

The azure blue water is very cold, but not to the point where people can't go on.The five suns didn't emit much temperature, they weren't even white, but gray or green, and they wouldn't feel dazzling even if they looked directly at them.Lu Ning bent down and picked up a handful of sea water, and looked into it.

Yes, five sun entities are reflected in the sea water.Those indescribable "images" in the eyes of human beings.

It was only at this time that a colder mist rose from her body.

"eclipse", "nuo", "dance", "engraved", "past".
