Returning from the abyss

Chapter 941 Early Warning
The archives won't let people go back.

Now Lu Ning is even a little thankful that she entered the distribution center.

"You told me this specifically because you hoped that I would know more about this place." Lu Ning said.

"Well, is there any special change in the distribution center recently?" Ying Caiyi asked.

"Does a new fifth-tier distribution center count?"

"So, the Archives is also building the fourth Book Valley, and it looks like something big is about to happen. Lu Ning, you'd better hurry up, if something changes and you can't go back, it will be bad."

"Yes." Lu Ning nodded, "I will speed up depending on the situation, but if it is too fast, it will cause problems."

"Really? That means you don't plan to upgrade in the next round? It's also wise. After all, the upgrade test is specially planned by the distribution center. You have to prepare enough points to avoid accidents."

"You know the distribution center rules very well."

"After all, you need to refer to our report to a large extent for your scoring. I actually know better about your scoring criteria. But don't ask more, the contract is limited, and I can't say more." Ying Caiyi shook her head lightly, "Back to the topic, Lu Ning, I hope you can go back, and I am very happy to see that you still have this mentality. Even though you have returned, it does not mean that I will return That world, but there is no fundamental difference between me at that time and me now, and I don't want the tragedy to repeat itself in another timeline."

Lu Ning opened her mouth, but said nothing.

"Since you are not going to upgrade next step, then you are likely to encounter something agreed in another contract. Both the distribution center and the archives have begun to carry out some special preparations, and existences of the same level will certainly not be alone , Various tests and agreement signings will definitely start slowly. And you, as a person who has participated in the experiment, you are undoubtedly an excellent subject, and it is unlikely that the distribution center will simply put you aside."

"Wait, what experiment? Why don't I know?" Lu Ning asked hastily.

"It's impossible to let you know, just like we won't know what the distribution center will use our report after it takes it. But you are indeed on the list. So far, there are about seven out of the three batches of experimental results in the fourth-order distribution center. More than 600 tourists are on the test list, and the number of people who signed the contract this time is about 1, which means that almost all of you tourists will be included, and of course there will be new test personnel joining. Cai Yi replied.

Lu Ning thought for a while, and then asked: "What is the contract? The content of this contract..."

"Of course it's impossible to say, Lu Ning. All I can say is, you have to be more careful in the next scene, or don't enter the scene for half a year, or... find some companions. And, if you really arrive at a scene For places that make you feel familiar yet unfamiliar, and unbelievable, at least remember what I said." Ying Caiyi raised her eyes and met Lu Ning's eyes, "Don't trust people who seem normal on the surface, the more paranoid people are, the more reliable they are , Remember every rule you know, if there is a contradiction between the memory and the rules, the one that is earlier in time is more credible."

"It sounds a little bit wrong."

"It's very wrong. Even if you pay a little price, you have to find a way to survive, Lu Ning. I won't say much. One is because of the contract factor, and the other is that I don't know the specific situation, so I rashly use my own analysis and judgment Let me tell you, it could backfire."

After Ying Caiyi finished speaking, she took out a notebook from her inner pocket, tore off a page, and handed it to Lu Ning.

"Our task allocation is also random. I don't know who will be assigned to organize your files in the next scene, but you can use this notebook page to meet once in the scene—most likely also the middle-level clerk—who is in charge Your people, the usage is to burn it. No matter who the other party is, they will probably give me a face to help you answer some doubts, this is the maximum help I can make."

Lu Ning took the page, feeling a little complicated.Ying Caiyi stood up, cleaned up the things on the table, and seemed to be planning to leave.

"Ying Caiyi, I'm sorry that you have encountered those things."

"I don't really want to go back anymore, Lu Ning. The archives provide us with safe and comprehensive positions in different worlds. We don't need you to go through life and death to solve those tasks. I am very satisfied with my life now. You don't have to. Sorry for that."

"Really? Then... I wish you a smooth journey ahead." Lu Ning smiled.

Ying Caiyi waved her hands casually and walked out the door.

In the fifth-order distribution center, in a large mansion, many people gathered here, and everyone looked a little uneasy.Although these people are all fifth-level tourists and have experienced at least three scenes, everyone who is invited here knows who lives in this mansion.

At this moment, two people came in through the gate, one was wearing a blue navy uniform, and he was wearing five firearms just from the surface.The other person was dressed in a simple coir raincoat, with a clear appearance, and there was no trace of wind when he walked.

"Mr. Mu, Mr. Li." A person shouted boldly.

Mu Canglan nodded with a smile, and said, "Don't be nervous, everyone. We invited you here for some special reasons. Normally, the assessment is held in a martial arts arena in Danyang. But the process is the same. No change, now relax and focus on the assessment."

"Yes!" Several people answered loudly.

The two walked through the crowd and walked inside.

Inside the mansion, the breeze blew, and it was cool.Behind the two large and small courtyards was a large open space, neatly paved with stone bricks to look like a competition venue, and a woman was sitting under the shade of a tree next to it.

"Ji Fan, the people who will be evaluated this time are all outside. Nan Jiyue has something to do today and won't participate." Mu Canglan said.

"Ah, I see." The woman stood up, and the dragon-patterned gold-scale soft armor on her body reflected the fine sunlight in the shade of the trees, which made them feel a little dazzling for a while.

"Mu Canglan, Li Duanyu, which batch is this?"

"The second batch of 160."

"How's the quality?"

"The ones we screened out are of course the best ones. It's just that compared to back then, after all, they have less experience." Mu Canglan also knew what Ji Fan meant, "You can't expect people today to be as good as before. A sense of urgency, after all, times have changed for so long.”

"Hmm..." Ji Fan replied casually, and walked onto the martial arts arena.

"Ji Fan, you have something on your mind." Li Duanyu, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, "Is there something that makes you unhappy? Is it the issue of grounding?"

"No... just don't leave this mansion, and it's not long, I don't care." Ji Fan rubbed her wrist, "I've been thinking about some things about myself during this time, so I'll reflect on myself, Now that no one can mention me, only I know my own situation."

"How's the situation?" Mu Canglan asked.

"Not so good. Compared to two or three years ago, I have become weaker, let alone when we rebelled against those 'kings'. If I am now, I may not be able to do the things I did back then."

"Because too much time has passed, even if the body will not age, the soul will." Li Duanyu said, "There is no immortality, and even what you were facing at that time was an aging king."

"The change of generations is always like this. It's just that it came too early." Ji Fan raised her head and looked at the virtual sun. "This distribution center has not yet become what we hoped, but many people have already given up their original ideals. Going on like this is just slowly repeating the original process. If we are gone, will the distribution center return to its original appearance? It’s just that the ruler has changed a few names.”

"Ji Fan, we agreed at the time that we are the ones who think about these things, and you only need to be responsible for controlling the direction." Mu Canglan was a little sad, "What you need to pay attention to is yourself. As long as you are here, this distribution center will not be chaotic."

"Are you using me as a sea god needle?" Hearing this, Ji Fan laughed instead.

"After all the dust settles, when we sit down to discuss future development, we have already made an agreement, haven't we? Each organization must make every effort to build a complete distribution center system that is different from the previous one, and once something goes wrong Miaozi, you are responsible for the suppression. Only you have the credibility, Ji Fan."

"...you can't rely on one person for the stability of your development, even if that person is me." Ji Fan said, "It seems that the huge physique of many organizations now forms the root of their rigidity. Conservative, don't want to change the previous rules, is this really a development?"

"If you think this is wrong, when you come out three days later, it will be the next meeting with the organizations of Golden Dawn, so you can bring it up," Mu Canglan said.

"I'll tell. Besides, how are the seedlings we're looking at?"

"It's going up smoothly. I think several of them have already reached the fourth level. I remember the two you particularly like... Yan Rong and Dai Yao. The promotion is going well this time, and they have probably reached the fourth-level distribution center." .”

"Hey, why are such good seedlings unwilling to join our organization?" Ji Fan stretched her body slightly, "Obviously what we advertised was that our martial arts foundation is very solid, but one went to Golden Dawn, and the other entered. A small organization..."

"Because we really don't have any outstanding publicity talents in the lower-level distribution centers." Li Duanyu replied, "Our organization has not changed for a long time. If we want to rectify, we must start with ourselves."

"Ah, that's right." A smile finally appeared on Ji Fan's face, "If you come to the fifth level, then invite you to come and try your skills. Even if it is not an organization, it is still a tourist in the distribution center."

At this time, the other end of the fifth-order distribution center is the scenery of "Night".

Half of the distribution center is in "day", then half of the distribution center will fall in "night", with the central mountain peak as the boundary, forming a world like a clock.

Far away from the brightly lit urban area, in front of a small western-style building in the suburbs, Jun Ying knocked on the door.Then she didn't wait for someone to open the door, she pushed it open and walked in.

There was a simple sign on the door, which said "Descendants of Chaos", and there was no particularly bright light in the room, so Jun Ying turned on his flashlight, walked up the stairs, and went straight to the room at the end of the second floor.

"Who!"

The door on the side was suddenly pushed open, followed by a cold light, daring to make such a move in the distribution center, the ferocity can be seen, but Jun Ying twisted his body sideways, and came directly to the door without changing his speed.

"Shirico, pick someone you can deal with next time to kill." Junying said, and pushed the door open.

"No matter who comes, he will do it, unless the score is going to be negative." A man and a woman are sitting in the room, the man is sitting on an old chair, holding something like a newspaper, the woman He was sitting on a wooden bed, holding a terminal and tapping constantly.

The person who answered her was a man. He raised his head and looked at Junying along the top of the newspaper. His eyes with dark circles looked a little dull.Jun Ying sighed slightly, and said, "I came here to ask you some things."

"We don't necessarily know."

"You have to ask." Jun Ying sighed.

"what's up?"

"Back then... what exactly were the tyrants, the king of pain, and the archon studying?"

"Then I don't know."

"Yu Wenbin, if you and Arcadia don't know, this will become a mystery completely submerged in history. Haven't you discovered anything?"

"How is it possible, that was the king who ruled the entire distribution center at that time... If they don't want to be found, no one will find out. Do you really think that we can really know everything there? We are just locked in It’s just an experiment in a cage.” The man closed the newspaper in his hand, “Jun Ying, you didn’t even hear our name, because we didn’t need to go to your scene at all, everything we know is learned from the records."

"Only by the words on paper, can you continuously upgrade to the fifth level? If we hadn't discovered it first, I'm afraid what greeted you would be the liquidation of those guys who hated the old era."

"We are grateful to the Eternal Night Council for their rescue, but this is indeed information that we don't know... Sigh, why don't even you believe it?" Yu Wenbin sighed.

"Now that the fifth-tier distribution center is going to open a new one, don't you know? What do you think is the reason?" Jun Ying asked again.

"What else could it be? A new unknown world has appeared... It's just an expansion of armaments." Yu Wenbin reopened the newspaper, "It doesn't have much to do with us, after all, it's hard to use us."

"But there must be some preparations." Jun Ying smiled, "The chairman hopes that all the descendants will be transferred to another distribution center. This is an order, and it is time for you to repay our kindness."

Yu Wenbin was slightly taken aback this time: "Huh?"

"Ha..." Arcadia, who had been operating the terminal, raised her head, "Can't he bear it?"

"It's not that I can't help it, it's just that the speaker really wants to know what you can really do on your own. You have been preparing for a long time since the formation of this organization. Then, why don't you show it?"

"Acadia, what do you think?" Yu Wenbin looked at his companion.

"It doesn't matter... where we are, we just want to find ourselves."
