Returning from the abyss

Chapter 865 A Journey to the Sea
A bloody mouth loomed in the frosty mist, roaring towards the false sun in the sky.A bright candlestick appeared above Lu Ning's head, and the flame was dancing uneasily.

"It's just crazy..."

Lu Ning took a step forward, and the phantom in the sky was slowly fading away, showing the most real appearance.Most of them don't have a very specific shape, but are weird states made of geometric shapes and slime.This is also normal. Although their base of believers is not large, they start with a hundred people. With so many mixed fantasies, it is normal that they cannot present a stable posture.

But appearance has nothing to do with strength.

In the icy sea water, something floated up.Those black corpses had been covered in oil, and the original faces couldn't even be seen.Lu Ning narrowed her eyes slightly. There were more and more corpses like this, to the extent that they even covered the sea surface. At present, only the shallow sea area around her has not been filled with corpses.

Why are there so many dead bodies here?Or... is that not a corpse at all?The mantra around me only knows to stare at the sky and confront, it really doesn't work at all.

Lu Ning was a little disgusted, but she didn't want to be touched by those corpses, so she started to back up. As she backed up, the chaotic mantra in the air began to return to the shape of the sun.

"Ha, from this point of view, maybe it's not a sea at all..."

This is another cognitive game, and Lu Ning quickly realized this.When she steps towards the ocean, her thinking will become more and more converging with the mantra, so that she can recognize more of the ocean and the beach. But if she steps back, her thinking will return to something closer to human beings. However, it will also lose the ability to understand the world.

Lu Ning is not going to adjust this difference. It is better for her to stay away from things related to mantras. As she retreated quickly, the sky returned to the appearance she saw at the beginning, but the corpses on the sea did not disappear. That's almost enough to fill the ocean.

At this time, a human voice came from behind: "What are you doing here?"

Lu Ning turned her head and found a woman wearing a pointed hat behind her. She was wearing a black hunting suit, with two short knives hanging from her waist, and she was looking at her with her arms folded.

She seemed to have seen this person in her memory, but it was a little blurry.

"Sorry, I should have the impression..."

"I really didn't expect that besides memory, time, and life and death, there is still room for you and me to meet." The woman chuckled, "It seems that you have got rid of the curse implicated in blood and blood."

Lu Ning finally recalled this face - Wu Que.

"Strange, I always run into people I know." She smiled.

"You will definitely meet people you know. After all, anchors have the ability to remember smells. Unless you are thrown by another anchor, you will definitely be pulled by the anchor to a place where there are acquaintances." Wu Que He explained, "But why didn't you arrive at the harbor, but came here directly? Even if you don't become a ghost ship, it's still very dangerous here."

"An accident...do you know what's going on here?"

"I'm guarding this coast." Wu Que sighed. "After all, there are still many people who will be called by the sea to become a member of the ghost ship. My task is to find these people, and before they become ghost ships Eliminate them completely before."

"Cough, cough, I thought you were an ambulance worker..."

"You can't stop a dying person after all." Wu Que smiled heartily, "If you hadn't retreated just now, I would have chopped off your head with a single knife."

Lu Ning probably also wanted this situation, but she didn't expect that there were such guards on the edge of the sea.

"Do you know those five suns?" Lu Ning pointed to the sky.

"The chaos from delusion, I don't know when they have existed, but their power is stronger than blood and moon, and there is not even a single entity for me to hunt." Wu Que replied.

"So, can you tell me something about the harbor and the sea? The world we live in has been troubled by these things. And..." Lu Ning turned her head and looked at the corpse on the sea, "Are these the sea and the ghost ship?" ?”

"No, strictly speaking, this is still the coast. People who really entered the sea can't return anything. These are just the residues that faded from their bodies before entering the sea."

Wu Que led Lu Ning away from this coastal area and walked towards the jungle of city ruins. On the top of a tall building, Lu Ning saw Wu Que's current stronghold - a place similar to the previous hunter's hut.

There is no concept of time here, Wu Que can't remember how long she has been guarding here, and she doesn't even know who gave her this task, but after killing several people who were about to transform into ghost ships, she Instead, I started to love the job.

The "harbors" are not the only ones that Lu Ning saw before. There are many of them, with different sizes, and most of them are in a deserted state.Only those shopkeepers who hold an anchor and set up shop in a harbor have the ability to make a harbor flourish.However, even so, most people, including the shopkeeper, have undergone changes in different states. After all, in such a world, maintaining a human posture is not necessary.People who have lost their anchor are more prone to such self-perversions.

Wu Que also tried to go to see the real appearance of those suns, but after seeing their strange appearance, she never went there again.

And now the location where the two are located is also a "harbour", but the people who used to exist here have probably disappeared.

"So what you see is generally people who have lost their anchor."

"Yes, I don't have the ability to give anchor points to others. All I can do is to free those people. Occasionally I will go to other seaports to have a look, but the state of those seaports makes me not like it. Many people In order to live, he distorted himself, revealing all his ugliness."

Based on Wu Que's experience, she would never like the way of life that loses dignity in order to live.After all, she can be regarded as a person who voluntarily gave up eternal life.

But Wu Que didn't have a complete understanding. What she knew more was the matter between the harbor and the sea, and she knew very little about the inland, because she didn't think about going back.However, the chat between the two didn't last long, and Wu Que suddenly rushed to the window.

"what happened?"

"It's people, three, nine, seven...huh."

Wu Que put his hands on the window and jumped down from the ten-story building.Lu Ning also picked up a few stones from the ground, set up a crude ceremony platform on the window sill, and breathed a sigh of relief.An ice slide descends from the upper floor.

Someone is running fast across the street.

As Lu Ning slid down, she could already see some of them. Most of their bodies had undergone changes that were different from ordinary people. For example, black things like asphalt were constantly dripping from their arms; their feet turned into cars. Wheel-shaped; the back ribs stretch out and become arthropod-like feet.But the changing shape did not include the face, and everyone had a blank and stiff expression on their faces, as if everything in this world didn't care anymore.

The magpie had already passed through the space while falling, and landed beside the trio. When he raised his hands, the knife wrapped in cyan and purple flames was already burning in his hands.

There was a crisp impact sound, and Wu Que's double knives were actually blocked by one of the shirtless men with six arms who raised his hand - a body of flesh and blood.

"Please don't stop us, please?" The man didn't even look at Wu Que, but pushed her away from her forcefully, "You have no compulsory responsibility."

At this time, Lu Ning also slid to a nearby place. She landed on a roof and took a closer look at the three people.An old man, a man and a woman, all three of them had no expression on their faces, and their eyes were wide open, as if their only target was the ocean in the distance.

In addition to the fact that the man had grown four extra arms, a large number of twigs grew from the old man's shoulders to his back, which were chaotic and disorderly, and there was no leaf on it.Red and yellow pus was continuously dripping from the sleeves of the woman's large hospital gown, and several bandages were also hanging down.

"The same is death, so it's the same if I kill you." Wu Que calmly replied, his body passed through the space again, and this time flashed to the old man's side. , a metal pipe stretched out, knocking the black magpie's fire knife crookedly.

"You're the only one who can't stop us."

"Put out the fire first, old man." Wu Que disappeared in a flash, and the branch behind the old man exploded with a swift purple flame, instantly enveloping him.

At this time in real time, within Area 25.Kilgour was wearing a protective suit and was taking the incapacitated people to the medical center on a cart.

"Most of them are ordinary people..." Qiao Gao whispered, and soon, the voice of his teammate Pu Dongning came from the earphone he was wearing: "I haven't found anything here, it seems that the person who caused the accident has long been Just run away."

"I really don't know what our base team can do. Someone died before, and there is no unity within." Kilgour said with some regret.

"If we go through many scenes, we will always encounter similar things. If we can't do more, then at least we should collect all the information." Pu Dongning comforted Kilgour.

"Alright alright……"

Kilgour walked into a building, which was also a set for future shooting, but it was too close to the explosion site, and it was burned by the flames a few times. It is estimated that at least the outer wall will have to be repainted in the future.He didn't see that kind of fixed person outside, so he was going to come in to have a look.

But as soon as I entered the room, I felt that the light had dimmed a lot.And Kilgour's sixth sense as a tourist also reminded him that there was something going on in this building.

"Pu Dongning, there seems to be something wrong here..."

"What? Don't explore alone, pay attention to safety!"

"No, I'm safe, everything here...is over."

Kilgour looked at the pool of blood under his feet, he was careful not to approach it, but the scene in front of him still made him feel inexplicably weird.

Mass suicide.

Of course he wasn't afraid of corpses, but the way the group of people died before him was very disturbing.They sewed up their mouths with thin red thread, and then sewed their fingers together with the same thin thread, and the final cause of death was that a needle drawn from a thin thread pierced each person's heart. Now the blood has shown a semi-coagulated state, and the nine people in the room have their eyes wide open with satisfied smiles.In this gloomy hut, nine people surrounded the city hand in hand, and everyone stared at the door.

Kilgour had seen more miserable corpses, but the scene in front of him made him feel inexplicably horrified. He seemed to feel that these people were still alive, and they were just staring at him and laughing at him.

"...suicide?"

There is not only one person in charge who received the report at the other end.All six persons in charge received reports, and several mass suicides were found around the exploded building, with different numbers of people and different methods of suicide.Dealing with so many corpses is already a troublesome thing, and what's more troublesome is that there is no way to know what conspiracy these people are up to.

Yun Shu was actually a little surprised in his heart.

As a person who has reached the level of a reality twister, Yun Shu is very clear about the mentality of a person who has mastered the mysteries of the mantra.Low-level people are looking forward to finally reaching the level of reality twisters, and high-level people are waiting for the day when they enter the room. Even if they have entered the eternal stage, they will continue to pursue assimilation with the mantra in the true sense.

In short, after stepping into this field, no one will give up their lives unless they die in the mutual killing among believers of the mantra.Not to mention that these people who committed suicide were definitely not low-level believers who did not know the truth, because Yun Shu knew at least two of them by name.

This situation has exceeded Yun Shu's expectations. She originally thought that the struggle here was similar to what happened before, but this suicide was already beyond the normal range among believers.

"We must find out..." Yun Shu whispered to himself.

"Must find out!"

Yin He spoke uprightly and loudly.

"No matter where they come from or what purpose they have, this kind of behavior is obviously to completely destroy our plan. We must not condone such malicious behavior! Even if the identities of these deceased are exposed, we have to find out the truth clear!"

"Ms. Yin is right!" Fei Haojun loudly agreed, "They use tricks and schemes, so we must deal with them with upright methods! Otherwise, there will only be more and more tricks like this! We have a clear conscience!"

Yun Shu pretended to agree a few times, but he thought ironically in his heart that this incident was actually a problem from the inside, it's a pity they didn't know it yet.But it just so happens that letting ignorant people deal with those professionals can just hide their identities.
