Returning from the abyss

Chapter 948 Containment

"I hope those people can work well." Lu Ning raised her eyes and said, she didn't plan to make more reminders, she herself is a newcomer, all she can remind is the things in the rule book, and everyone has a copy of this.

The three of them also noticed Lu Ning's side, but they didn't work in the same unit, so they didn't need to say hello.The person who claimed to be "the deity" opened the door of the unit, and the three of them went in together.

"Do you want to go over and have a look?" Tiangong was a little worried.The shapes of the units are different, and the walls of the units of the Spiral Corpse Tower are made of transparent materials as a whole, so that the inside can be seen from the outside.If it is a high-risk job, I am afraid that people need to observe it outside.Lu Ning nodded, and the two walked to the wall.

The three people who entered immediately checked the numbers behind the door as required, and then counted the number of people on the corpse tower. Lu Ning can actually see it from the angle of the corpse tower. There are nine corpses hanging on the corpse tower. She remembered it well. After completing this number, he continued to watch the actions of the three people.

That "Honorable One" was obviously not particularly good at wiping blood stains. After the discussion, a somewhat short man took out a rag and detergent, and walked towards the corpse tower.Lu Ning and Tiangong looked at each other, and then looked away.The incident report didn't say what would happen if viewed from outside the unit, but since the spiral corpse tower can affect the entire corridor, it's better to be careful.

And in this way, the two obviously couldn't know what was going on inside.The doors and walls have excellent sound insulation effects. If you don't look at it, you don't know what's going on inside.Lu Ning and Tiangong simply walked a little further, returned to Honghua's unit and sat down.

"It won't happen..." Tiangong said worriedly.

"If you are careful enough, you won't." Lu Ning replied.

Lu Ning and Tiangong both wore watches. Although 24 hours is not applicable here, timekeeping is still possible. After about 45 minutes, the two heard the sound of the containment unit being opened, and each looked up. .The three people who had just entered came out, and their expressions were a little more relaxed.

"My lord, fortunately nothing happened this time." The short man's voice sounded a little trembling, after all, he was the one who went up, and he was also the one most prone to accidents.

"You've done a good job. Sure enough, as long as you follow the procedures, there won't be any problems. Let's go back to the lounge and clean up the blood after a while..."

Lu Ning noticed that the footsteps of the "venerable" who was leaving suddenly stopped. He turned his head and looked at the wall, his expression was not clear, it seemed that something... wasn't right?

"Did we check the number of bodies when we went in? Was it nine?"

"Yes, that's right, didn't we get the right number together?" The other taller one froze for a moment.

"That's not right!" His Holiness rushed back to the door of the unit, pointed inside, "There are ten corpses! Who violated the rules! One of you two has been replaced!"

This movement immediately made Lu Ning and Tian Gong stand up, and both of them had already touched the weapons.The venerable looked into the unit again, but unfortunately the light was turned off as soon as people left the unit. At this moment, it is impossible to see what the corpse hanging inside looks like.

"I didn't violate the rules!" The tall man said hurriedly, "I just didn't look at it. I definitely didn't look at it. It must be...it must be him! He didn't wipe off the blood!"

"Impossible! I'm human. I was worried about what might go wrong, so I checked every step carefully! Otherwise, why would it take so much time!" the short man said hastily.

"No matter who it is, we can't take the corpse out...at least confirm who it is!" His Holiness shouted, "Follow me in!"

Lu Ning frowned slightly, and took two steps forward, but didn't think about what to say, she felt something was wrong——

The three of them had already reopened the door and entered the unit under the strong request of the Venerable. With a flash of light, everything in the unit could be seen clearly.

"No! When you leave, you don't need to check whether the number of corpses is the same as when you entered!"

The things that are required to be done must be strictly followed, and the things that are not required to be done... It is best not to overdo it.

Lu Ning saw that after the Venerable Mr. rushed into the unit, he immediately ran to the extra corpse to confirm his identity.The other two also took out their weapons and carefully watched His Holiness's movements, but... this was the second time they went in.

"Check the numbers!" Lu Ning shouted, but her voice couldn't enter the unit.

After a newcomer has an unexpected situation, the most common mistake is to ignore certain details.That venerable is indeed very responsible, but it is probably easy for ordinary people to ignore the step of checking the numbers. After all, they have already checked it once before, and they may ignore it in their consciousness.

When Lu Ning saw that the venerable had rushed to the corpse, she paused, looked up, her whole body seemed to stiffen, and the next second, he disappeared in place.And the hanging corpse soon "grew" a suit of clothes, which was exactly the same as the Venerable.

The two people in the room obviously also saw this scene, and they were all frightened out of their wits, turned around and opened the door of the unit.

"do not--"

As soon as Lu Ning finished speaking, the two of them rushed out the door and ran to the corridor without even closing the door of the unit manually.Lu Ning choked on the words, immediately reached out and grabbed the door to lock him in prison, and looked into the room.

The internal light source was turned off, and in the faint light of the corridor, twelve corpses were hanging at the bottom of the stairs, seeming to be shaking slightly.

"Dead." Tiangong sighed, "I didn't calm down, and I obviously left safely."

Even paper-grade buildings will die.Soon, Lu Ning heard footsteps again. There are four containment units in this corridor, and the executors of the other two units have come to work.

"what happened?"

"Is this dead?"

After the voices of two slightly younger men and women, there was a calm old man's voice: "Don't distract your attention, just go back and report to the police, the light is white, it's safe."

It's White.

The old man was wearing a military uniform, with a two-handed sword on his back, an ordinary-looking weapon.But the two young men and women next to him showed great respect for White, and immediately stopped looking at him curiously.

"Hello." White greeted Lu Ning and Tiangong Youli when he saw them.Lu Ning and Tiangong also responded quickly.

"We are in charge of A17 Lonely and Lonely Person and A20 Site 7752. Although the work can be done independently, we must also be careful of the chain effect of the contents between the units. If you have any special discoveries, please contact us in time. Communication, we will also report back on our work.”

"Ah... good." Lu Ning nodded.

White's aura is different from that of ordinary people. His calm and down-to-earth appearance seems to be the quality of a fourth-level veteran, which is different from the previous Venerable.White himself went into unit A17, while the couple went into unit A20.Because of what happened just now, Lu Ning immediately turned the book to those two pages and read the introduction again.

The Lonely Man is a statue, which is twice as large as a 1.7-meter-tall male in proportion.The statue is in a kneeling posture, with both hands holding a dagger aimed at its own throat.There are also some miscellaneous management instructions, but the most important thing is silence-during the execution of work, you can't talk.It is worth mentioning that if no one is working on this statue for a certain period of time, it will break through and become like a man in the statue. It will choose the first person it encounters and pull the other person into a space where only itself exists , Until the man commits suicide because of loneliness, he will not return to the unit. The only way to rescue him is if someone outside finds out and kills the man.

Scene 7752 is a room, a murder scene.The essence of this scene is that space murders the people inside itself, and the means are very cruel.Its essence is a living space, and it has the ability to proliferate.In order to stop its continuous proliferation, two people need to call themselves detectives and conduct forensic investigations on the scene three times a day. During this period, the space will be very quiet.The rule book specifies in detail what actions need to be taken for the three evidence collections, all of which are to convince the space that the person who entered it is indeed a detective.Once it is found that it is not... then the space will immediately attack.

This is the "paper" level, as long as the safe process is followed, then nothing will happen.However, this is also a contradiction. When you know that you have arrived at such a dangerous place, how can you resist the pressure and execute the process perfectly?
White and the man and woman had successfully completed their first job and both walked out of the room.

"It doesn't seem to be difficult." The young man walked up to Lu Ning and Tian Gong, and said with a smile, "Hello, my name is Chai Anshi. Now that work is over, why don't we meet in the lounge for a cup of coffee?"

Another young woman also said: "My name is Di Xiaoying, and I'm on the same team as Uncle White. Do you want to go back? Captain Shaluo said, go back to the lounge if you have nothing to do, keep your spirits up, and it will be convenient for support if something happens. .”

Sara...is that the blonde girl?It seems that each captain will say different things.White also came over at this time, and Lu Ning looked up at him.When she was at the distribution center before, she and White also chatted twice. This somewhat old soldier is indeed quite stable and reliable.

"Go back, there is no such thing as casually breaching containment in the paper class," White said.

Everyone followed White back to the lounge, only to find that many people had returned—after all, the working hours at a time may not necessarily be very long.White went to a nearby whiteboard with photos of ten teams and crossed out three of his own.Lu Ning found that six people were missing from the whiteboard, and one of them was from this team.

She searched and found Zhou Weiyuan lying in the corner.

"Zhou Weiyuan, what happened to our dead one?"

"A6, working alone, was found dead outside the unit door with half of his head broken." Zhou Weiyuan replied.

For A6, Lu Ning remembers that they are fighter collectors, and the difficulty of management is very low. As long as someone comes in to chat with him, avoid topics about fighting and martial arts, and chat for [-] seconds. There are only two jobs a day, and there are no other special rules to follow.

"Can this also die?"

"It's probably because the chat was too happy and carried away. Didn't the rule book say that, that person can be said to be personable and knowledgeable, and he can chat about many things. Maybe he will deliberately induce this topic." Zhou Weiyuan shrugged.

"Papers usually attack by inducing others to make mistakes. As long as you concentrate, you won't make mistakes." Yan Rong also came over, "If you reach the fierce level or above, you can enter the unit and start fighting directly."

"However, the number of people who died didn't raise the alarm." Zhou Weiyuan yawned.

"To raise the alarm, it is estimated that the containment must be breached, and it must be destructive, at least to the point of blocking the corridor." Lu Ning said.

"But what if there is a breakthrough, kill it?" Zhou Weiyuan asked.

"That, as long as the doomsday core is smashed, the contained objects that have lost their power will be pulled back by the unit directly. But don't worry so much, these contained objects don't die so easily, just beat them casually." Yan Rong said with a smile.

Abigail also seemed to explain something that Lu Ning didn't know, so Lu Ning exchanged information with Yan Rong.

Sure enough, the emphases of each captain are different.

Nuonuo has always used that sarcastic tone to remind everyone to be careful in their work, but when it comes to Abigail, it becomes a different style of painting.

That is to say, as long as you are strong enough, it doesn't matter if there is something wrong with the work of many things, as long as you break through and smash the core of doomsday.And the higher ups don't look at how you do your work, there is only one requirement, and that is that everything stays in the containment unit honestly at the end of the day.

So what Abigail emphasized is to pay attention to whether there is a flash kill mechanism. If you can kill a person in an instant, then don't be careless and do what you want.And if the consequence is only a breakthrough, it's a big deal to let it out for a fight.

"Your captain is a battle madman, right?" Zhou Weiyuan's mouth twitched after hearing this.

"Otherwise, why did you choose our group?" Yan Rong was quite satisfied, "And I think this is also a way of thinking. After all, paper-level people are easy to manage, and we can work step by step. But higher-level, What about the more difficult ones? Do you think that would work well?"

Lu Ning was silent, she did agree with Yan Rong's words.

Starting from the fierce level means that the difficulty of management has greatly increased. Even the rule book only mentions some precautions, and there is no standard process to refer to.Many people have no way of knowing what conditions will cause riots in the containment. If they go one step further, those at the crazy level will even directly have "sacrifice" jobs, and entering it is basically sending them to death.

"The rule book can only keep us safe on paper, and we have to rely on our strength to continue." Yan Rong concluded.
