Returning from the abyss

Chapter 872 The inevitable price

Knowing the characteristics of Yin Xiu's mantra will not help much, and Lu Ning and the others have to face the problem of the Endless Theater head-on.But she doesn't need to think about the solution to this problem, as long as she can complete the three 10-minute shooting, she will be fine.

Lu Ning took out a small video camera from her waist bag, opened it, and pointed it at the stage.There is nothing on it, and even the stage in the camera has a hazy sense of illusion.

"What's the next show?"

After Yin Xiu finished speaking, a new playlist appeared at hand.

"Ah... It seems that the people here are quite enthusiastic, and they don't mind continuing to provide us with opportunities to experiment."

"Who's coming this time?" Qin Zhilan asked.

"Before we are sure enough, we should be more cautious. We don't need to complete this task at once." Lu Ning said.

"Then I suggest choosing a safer topic this time." Yin Xiu laughed, and then wrote the words "parents are short" on the program list.

In a sense it is indeed very safe.After writing it down, the stage lit up again, and Lu Ning also held up her mobile phone to start filming on the stage, but the effect was not very good, there were still a bunch of unclear shadows, probably only the person who wrote the title could see them clearly Hallucination.

Yin Xiu fell into it again, but this time he obviously persisted.It may be difficult for a person like him to be a fascinating illusion for his family's short story. At least he has been sitting there smiling, and his expression has not changed excessively.

The remaining three people counted silently.

At about 15 minutes, Yin Xiu's emotions finally became intense, his expression became contemptuous and indifferent, and disgust appeared in his eyes.If someone like him can't hide this emotion, it means that the other party is probably disgusting to a certain extent.

Lu Ning sighed, reached out and pinched Yin Xiu's arm hard, pulling him back from the hallucination.Yin Xiu froze for a moment, then thanked Lu Ning softly, without saying anything else.

It doesn't take a moment for this environment to sink people, and willpower doesn't work here. This is the most difficult part for me.Immediately afterwards, Wei Jia tried "Growth of a Teenager", and Qin Zhilan tried "Nature Documentary", but they all failed unfortunately, but they persisted for a longer time.

According to the rounds, it was Lu Ning's turn to try, but after another round of testing, Lu Ning had a different idea.

Can you escape this emotional induction?Relying on a more peaceful choice to allow myself to get through the illusion more easily, can I really persist for three to ten minutes?The time chosen by the distribution center is probably just a dividing line, a very difficult one to reach...if the current practice is followed.

"What's the matter, Lu Ning, do you have any good ideas?" Yin Xiu asked.

"It's not a good idea, it's just another idea, maybe our current way is not right."

"Tell me?"

Lu Ning picked up her program list and said: "After all, it is a mission released by the distribution center. If we don't pay any price and just be cautious, it may be difficult to bet on the illusion that let us shoot for 10 minutes. If this is the case, then We might as well take the initiative to give something.”

Qin Zhilan and Wei Jia also started to think after hearing the words.

"I don't want to waste time here anymore, I want to try it now." Lu Ning picked up a pen and wrote "Unintelligible Things" neatly on the program list.

Immediately afterwards, she sank into an illusion.

Within the hallucination, there was a dark space with dark red wavy stripes smeared on the space. Lu Ning found herself standing in the middle of the air, with nothing under her feet, but she didn't feel falling or weightlessness.

In front of her eyes is a special light that shrinks inward at a sharp angle. The end of the light is a dark blue point. It is like a star, the only star in this space. It also provides Lu Ning with the ability to See ambient light.

Floating in the surrounding space are tiny fragments like dust and water droplets. Lu Ning can't feel any dampness, nor does he feel dirty.

— incomprehensible.

This is a space that she can describe in words, but it is difficult to intuitively reflect its special features.Just like this request made by Lu Ning, she couldn't understand the real situation of everything in the space.All she can do now is to rely on her own memory, raise the mobile phone in her hand, and start shooting.

Continuous shooting is required...three 10 minutes.

She took a step, and there was no ground under her feet. She didn't know how to "walk" without friction, but she just walked forward according to her daily habits, and the surrounding space began to slowly recede.

If so, isn't it that far away from those seemingly vast space objects?After all, she could clearly see that the stripes were going backwards.

Or, I didn't move, but they moved?So... what's the difference?
Lu Ning felt that her thinking was covered by a layer of fog, many questions that were not necessary to think about all the time were covered in her mind, many things became blurred, and many things were becoming incomprehensible.It's like staring at a word for a long time, but don't know that word.Things that should have been extremely familiar to Lu Ning, such as colors, light, stars, space, floating dust... They gradually made Lu Ning unable to discern their true state.

Fortunately, she is still moving forward, and Lu Ning is still confident in maintaining her inner self. She repeated the word "shooting" a little stiffly.

How long has it been?She doesn't even know.The numbers and text displayed on the mobile phone screen have become symbols that she cannot understand.All the patterns also became hideous and terrifying, but Lu Ning couldn't stop because of this kind of thing. Although she didn't have much impression of it, she knew that what she was repeating in her mouth must be the most important thing.

While muttering in a low voice, she walked towards the star.This is the only light she can see here. In the state of losing her normal judgment, the only thing she can do is to obey her instinct for light, and she can't even judge whether it is right or wrong.

In this obscurity, Lu Ning began to feel at ease, the ease that exploded her remaining sense of crisis.

After she enters the scene, she will instinctively reject all comforts.An Yi... how many tourists have been killed?Lu Ning has never seen it, but she has read and heard quite a few.She continued chanting the only words that could be repeated in her mouth, and quickened her steps towards the light.

The light is indeed increasing, the only star in the universe is absorbing the light inward, but Lu Ning didn't notice the slightest irrationality, she even started to sprint, as if she didn't feel the danger there at all——no , maybe she just felt that she was following her instinct to escape from the comfort that was about to envelop her.

what's... what's...

At this time, the three outside were also nervously paying attention to Lu Ning's expression.She has successfully filmed for more than 10 minutes, once again breaking the record that everyone insisted on, and her expression has not changed except that her eyes are a little blank.Yin Xiu pinched the halo, ready to wake up Lu Ning at any time, but in the current state, the three of them were not sure whether they should wake her up.

"Things that cannot be understood... This topic is too dangerous." Qin Zhilan said.

"But I think Lu Ning's idea does make sense. After all, we are tourists who have reached the fourth level. We are used to living in these unknowns and dangers. We don't mind some costs, even soul damage. We were too cautious before, if we were greedy for stability in everything, we might achieve nothing." Yin Xiu said.

"Ha, in the end you, the one who confidently brought us in, couldn't figure out a way." Wei Jia snorted.

"If I need to solve everything, why should I summon you?" Yin Xiu was not angry, "Keep watching Lu Ning's state. If there is danger, we still have to pull people back."

"I think she has found the right path." Qin Zhilan said, "It's been 25 minutes."

In 25 minutes, Lu Ning was already in the light, and she was completely close to the star.The stars are not dazzling, which is also contrary to the normal theory, but she continued to ignore it.Even Lu Ning doesn't know how to think now. Apart from repeating the shooting and moving forward, she ignores all the changes in the surrounding space, and she can't see anything else.

The end of the star is a piece of light.Lu Ning finally submerged in the light, she felt the warmth and relaxation around her, at that moment, countless memories became active in her mind, her thoughts began to tumbling again, and even the things that had been forgotten began to come one after another. Filled with joyful memories.

In that instant, Lu Ning's vigilance reached the highest point. She glanced at the normal phone screen when her cognition recovered. 30:11 was enough time for shooting.She immediately stopped filming and removed a thin needle from her sleeve.

When she left from Lan Tu, Lu Ning took some useful props that would not cause trouble. This sleep needle was one of the props she chose. It was originally used for self-defense, but she didn't expect to use it on herself. body.

The needle pierced her shoulder, and a strong drowsiness hit her. The active memories in Lu Ning's mind immediately quieted down, and she threw herself forward—using the last bit of waking consciousness to keep herself from hitting the ground.

In the theater at this time, Lu Ning's figure also became transparent and disappeared quickly.It also pointed the other three in the right direction.

=
"Someone has left the Theater of Never End."

"Really? It's lucky not to be a member of the stage."

For a place like a theater, people will naturally pay attention, and they are tourists.For some people, the Everlasting Theater is not a particularly secret place, such as Shi Yuluan and Ai Feilik.The two are in their own rooms, and if someone enters the Theatre, they will not notice them, but it will be different if someone comes out.

As a member of such an organization as Tianma Studio, Shi Yuluan still has some understanding of the Endless Theater. It is a place to capture emotions as nourishment, and the memories of those who died there will become part of the stage, and the structure is more complex. The absurd yet real world continues to kill the next unfortunate person who strays into it by mistake.And if Shi Yuluan himself hadn't forcibly unfolded the reality distortion, he wouldn't be sure that he would be able to leave.

As for Efelic, because all the previous disappearance records were on the case table, he would naturally pay a little attention to such a special place.It's just that he didn't know that these records had already been handed over by Yin Xiu, and with his style of doing things, it was impossible for him to go there in person like Yin Xiu.

As the chairman of the board, the two paid attention, and naturally, people rushed to the scene soon.They arrived very fast, and several people from Rufus Real Estate immediately found Lu Ning sleeping soundly at the scene. According to the instructions, they moved Lu Ning to the sanatorium in District 2 and concealed the news.

Of course, this was done because Lu Ning had a certificate, and the cameraman's identity was easily verified through her certificate, so they wouldn't just make Lu Ning disappear.

Not long after these people left, Yin Xiu, Wei Jia, and Qin Zhilan came out one after another. Wei Jia started to vomit as soon as he came out, not only vomited things, but even vomited something like bugs. Qin Zhilan looked very bad. Red purpura-like blood spots appeared on both her arms, and there were traces of blood flowing out under her ears.Yin Xiu looked better on the surface, but judging from his blue face and no longer relaxed expression, he knew that he might have suffered a lot of damage.

"Where's Lu Ning?" Qin Zhilan said in a hoarse voice.

"She probably paid a serious price, and was taken away by the people who came here after smelling the smell." Yin Xiuqing said with a straight face, "Don't worry, since she is my teammate, I won't let her have an accident."

Then, he took out his mobile phone and made a call. After a few instructions, he nodded to Wei Jia and Qin Zhilan.

"Two, is the mission complete?"

"It's done... Hmph, it's best not to take such a risky move a second time." Wei Jia wiped the filth from the corner of his mouth with displeasure, "You still don't feel very reliable."

"It's true that there are reasons for my aggressiveness... I will think about it next time." Yin Xiu also admitted her own shortcomings, "Now you two should go back and have a rest. It is best not to let outsiders see the injuries on your body. Of course , if the two of you still miss your former teammates and tell them about the Everlasting Theater, I don't mind."

Wei Jia and Qin Zhilan looked a little better.

As for the person appointed by Yin Xiu, of course he is the person in charge of everything.

Yin He's actions have always been vigorous and resolute. Five minutes after receiving Yin Xiu's call, she surrounded the nursing home with thirty security personnel.Secret delivery?In this base, there is no secret in man-made actions that can escape the surveillance network of the Chenfeng Group.
