Scenario report:

Under our guidance, three fourth-level chaotic worlds had a brief contact, presumably after that, their evolution process will produce more uncertain changes.The chaotic world code-named "Silver Wind" does not have the prospect of wide-area development due to its excessively distinctive personal characteristics. At least within 44 counts, it probably cannot become a fifth-level chaotic world. "Destiny Cult" has fairly united goals and development needs, but its upper-level restrictions have played a certain future-locking effect on the development of the world. According to the evaluation, within at least 24 counts, the development of the world Should be within the limits of the future lock. "Utopia" undoubtedly has a stronger development potential. The ruthlessness and decisiveness of the high-level can develop despite all difficulties. If some human beings who have shown their own ideals and aspirations can keep their moral bottom line, it is estimated that in After eighteen counts, they may break through to a fifth-level chaotic world.

——Intermediate clerk's note: Before they break through the sixth-level wall, direct contact is still not recommended, and it is feasible to influence through tourists.

This record is to be viewed by personnel above Level █. 】

There is a wide space inside the vehicle in the distribution center. Even if it looks like an ordinary minibus, all the facilities are available inside, and everyone even has their own resting room.

It's a pity that Lu Ning can't sleep at all now.

Her field of vision in this scene is relatively narrow, and she hardly understands what other tourists are doing. The last thing... To put it bluntly, it has nothing to do with her. After the filming ended, all she had left was It's time to complete her task, and she doesn't have the energy to take care of other things.

Qu Yi passed out directly after recovering her body. She seemed to be stuck at a strange time. When the final mission judgment was released, she fell into a state of pollution, so she was not counted as tourists at all, so there was no more The final task, this was able to return to the distribution center.Also because of this reason, Qu Yi's score in this game is very low, but this does not affect Lu Ning's evaluation of her.

She was sitting at the bar, holding a cup of vanilla tea, recalling this scene. She was not satisfied with her performance, but the judgment given by the distribution center was not like this. On the contrary, her score was very high...so high that she even saved enough Upgraded score.

But she still has to think about it, there is no rush to get promoted, although she is really in a hurry to go home.

"Yo."

Zuo Xiaobi walked over with an ice bucket containing two bottles of red wine and a goblet, and sat down beside Lu Ning.Lu Ning glanced at him, but said nothing.

"As I said, if we can all return, we can talk again. I am a little interested in you, don't get me wrong, I just glimpsed your name in some records."

"...The assassination list?"

"Haha, do you think it's easy to be on the assassination list? Did you kill our important people, or did you sabotage some major plan? If nothing else, then it's all personal enmity, and those who don't have much relationship don't care about personal enmity." Zuo Xiaobi will A bottle of red wine was uncorked and some was poured into the glass.

"Humph……"

"I know you look down on the puppet party, but if you don't understand it because you hate it, you will suffer from the stronger ones in the future." Zuo Xiaobi downed the wine in one gulp, then smacked his lips and nodded.

"Then why did you come here and tell me this?" Lu Ning asked with a frown, "Are you from the puppet party? Isn't this a betrayal?"

"Betrayal? Hahaha what are you talking about? We are a puppet party, and if we don't like certain people, we will trip them up." Zuo Xiaobi covered up with a laugh without a smile at all, and poured himself out again A glass of wine, "Next, I'm talking to myself after drinking, do you like it or not."

"...What do you mean?" Lu Ning still couldn't figure out what Zuo Xiaobi was going to do.

"Puppet party, four inside groups, four outside groups, investigation, assassination, interrogation, and resources by the outside groups; liquidation, storage, finance, and crafts by the inside groups. When outsiders come to contact, that is, come into contact with the outside groups, the puppet party has a bad reputation outside , about [-]% of them are made by members of the outer group. Of course, there is no difference in the inner group, but people outside the inner group will not know if they do it. Although each group is nominally managed by the Eternal Night Council, But...in fact, the overall management in the group is the group leader of the first group and the second group."

Zuo Xiaobi glanced at Lu Ning, and of course Lu Ning did not leave.

"Among them, the liquidation team and the interrogation team are almost at odds on a daily basis. After all, one is in charge of the internal affairs and the other is in charge of the external affairs. Neither of them accepts the other party's methods, and even internal plots against the other party often occur. Such conflicts are not only at the lower levels, It’s the same in high-level confrontations. The interrogation team’s personalities are also very different from ours, and they don’t necessarily care about things we don’t care about.”

Lu Ning didn't speak.

"Lu Ning, the puppet party didn't pay much attention to you at all, because almost all the small fights that happened below you have nothing to do with our affairs, and those who will pay attention to you are the few related people, and among them, some A very dangerous guy... the deputy leader of the interrogation team."

"Ok?"

"That guy joined us after he broke away from the Astral Sanctuary. She has a deep respect for the founder of the Astral Sanctuary, but when she found out that the other party had already ignored the affairs of the Astral Sanctuary After that, the mentality collapsed. Now? She knows that you have been lucky enough to meet someone you admire, and this is a very unforgivable thing."

"This kind of morbid psychology... sounds like you made it up." Lu Ning said.

"Isn't it, think for yourself, I'll only say this. I don't know when she will trouble you, I just hope you—"

Zuo Xiaobi suddenly moved closer and lowered his voice: "Kill her, Lu Ning."

"It's not just what you say." Lu Ning stood up a little annoyed, "Don't bother me with your personal grievances. Also, I'm used to passive counterattacks. Unless she really comes to me actively, otherwise I won't be at all. Don't care about the existence of such a person."

"Hmph, it's still possible for the outside team to hunt down and kill someone if they really want to. Otherwise, how would they perform foreign affairs?"

Lu Ning left the table holding the vanilla tea, Zuo Xiaobi, a puppet party guy, really couldn't have a good chat with him.She walked back to the bar where a waiter with a fluorescent tube head was mopping the table with a rag.

"Please help me change a cup of hot tea." Lu Ning said.

"Okay, Miss Lu Ning. By the way, do you want to claim your hidden reward now?" The waiter took the teacup and asked.

"Well...give it to me." Lu Ning nodded.

After the waiter refilled the tea, he took an octagonal badge from the cabinet and handed it to Lu Ning.

The badge has a silver border, a blue background, and a white skull on it. There is a dagger in the center of the forehead, and there is no "justice" from the pattern.Lu Ning picked up the badge, and the waiter explained: "This badge needs to be used when you enter a certain non-upgrade scene. After confirming with the waiter, it will give you the ability to know everyone you know and have experience in the next scene. Tourists known to have killed several tourists for the privilege."

Sure enough, it's not a particularly powerful prop. After all, it's not particularly difficult to achieve the condition. For Lu Ning, it is at most one more way to judge. The specific use can only be known by actually trying it out.

"In addition...Miss Lu Ning, I am entrusted by someone to extend an invitation to you." The waiter pulled out an envelope from his pocket and poured out a key from it, "If you accept, go to the bar Go to the small room at the back, this key can enter it. Of course, if you are not ready to accept it, you can ignore it."

Lu Ning sounded a little strange to this statement. She picked up the key and asked, "I'm a little curious...who wants to see me?"

"It can only be said that it is a person you are familiar with." The waiter said.

familiar person?Could it be Shi Tong again?Could it be that she can accurately locate such a returning vehicle?

Lu Ning decided to go and have a look. Anyway, she is now in an absolutely safe place. If there is any danger on the vehicles in the distribution center, it will probably be in chaos long ago.

She opened the door with a key, the room was not too big, there was only a table and a few chairs around the table, and a person was sitting on the chair with his back to the door.The man was wearing a dark brown overcoat with a blue and brown plaid scarf wrapped around the collar. He held an open book in his leather gloved hands, and seemed to be concentrating on reading.There is a lantern, an ink bottle and a quill on the table. The lantern is emitting bright and warm light, making everything around it very quiet.

"Hello." Lu Ning said.

Hearing this, the other party folded the ribbon on the back of the book in his hand to mark the number of pages, then put the book back into his coat pocket, stood up, and turned to look at Lu Ning.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Lu Ning's pupils narrowed slightly, it wasn't Shi pupils, but it was indeed long time no see.

"you……"

"Sit down and talk, Lu Ning."

Lu Ning nodded, walked around to the opposite side of the table, and the two sat opposite each other.Lu Ning thought for a moment, then sighed: "You actually came to see me on purpose, does that mean... what happened in reality? Ying Caiyi?"

Ying Caiyi, the friend she met again in the previous scene, of course, it was imitated by the distribution center based on memory, but the one sitting in front of her now may be the real one.

"The reality is nothing. If you ask me, I don't know about your family's situation." Ying Caiyi said softly, "You are more or less a well-known student. After your death, the school contacted a few of us immediately. But this news cannot be suppressed, after all, that kind of place... before the blockade, many students would have seen it."

Her tone was very calm, but Lu Ning knew that behind the calmness must be a story of unrest.

"You know that my family is in business, and in shopping malls, it is very common to use some unwarranted stigma to suppress opponents. Almost the day after your body was found, it appeared on the Internet that we, as roommates, bullied you and forced you A patient committed suicide by jumping off a building. Because they stood in a weak position and spoke for the dead, many people believed it directly. After my identity was dug out, the situation at home was also greatly affected. A family with a daughter like me cannot be trusted. Not only are the products no longer selling well, even some people in my family and company have begun to spray graffiti and the like... Oh, of course, this is also mixed with competitors' schemes, and will not be known to the general public."

"so……"

"I dropped out of school, and after that, I had to die—people don't judge the dead too hard, and they don't think they forced my death. Someone paid the price, someone served justice, and that's enough. They cheered After winning this time, I rushed to the next place where the smell of blood came out, so... our family is safe." Ying Caiyi said, "Of course, now I also understand that this kind of thinking is really naive. I also I don’t know what will happen after death, will my family make good use of my death? Will my opponent let it go? In the end, am I willing to give up my life like this?”

She was not asking Lu Ning, but herself.

"sorry."

"You don't need to apologize, Lu Ning. Although I was full of resentment towards you at the beginning, after going through so many things now, I don't take the things of my life too seriously. On the contrary, if If you could go back to that point in time, my tragedy might not have happened, and that's just right."

"You now..." Lu Ning glanced at Ying Caiyi's attire, and had to say that this attire looked like a professional uniform, but Lu Ning didn't know where it belonged.

"It's a coincidence. It just so happens that I am the one who files for you this time, so I will meet you by the way."

"Archive? What kind of archive? The archives for recording scenes?" Lu Ning remembered the official records she saw at the first level.

"The distributing center can't make a completely accurate judgment on the actions of tourists in the scene. For this reason, the distributing center signed an agreement with the archives, and we are responsible for all the records in the scene. From the scribe to the clerk , I also put in a lot of effort.”

Ying Caiyi smiled lightly.

"It's a pity that the deal signed by the distribution center with you is for you to return, but the deal signed by the Archives and us does not include this."
