Returning from the abyss

Chapter 29
Lu Ning stood at the gate of the villa.

Feeling hopeful or confused, she silently waited for the so-called "return" vehicle.It didn't take long, and amidst the sound of horseshoes, a "carriage" appeared on the mountain road in the distance.

It was not a carriage driving on the ground, but four divine horses with blue-black flames on their feet, pulling a carriage the size of a train carriage, and marched steadily at a height of about [-] centimeters above the ground. air.A coachman whose torso and limbs are more slender than ordinary people is driving the carriage. The most special thing about "it" is that its head is not a human head, but a white paper lantern, with a In the light of the fire, ten days were written in ink on the outside of the lantern; the high collar of the black cloak completely covered the neck, and the lantern was embedded in the collar like this.

"Good morning, miss."

After the carriage stopped, the driver did not get out of the carriage, but stretched out his white-gloved hand and pressed it lightly on his chest. It was a very magnetic male voice, with a polite and gentle tone, completely different from the "black hand behind the scenes" that Lu Ning thought of. do not match.

"You... came to pick me up?"

Lu Ning asked.

"Yes, this carriage is here to pick up the tourists from No. [-] to No. [-] Ghost Villa to the distribution area. You can rest assured that you can relax the tense mood of the past few days in the carriage. If there is any problem, I will do my best to help you." possible answer."

After saying this, the coachman did not see any movement, and a door was opened at the front of the huge carriage behind him.

"Now you can let out the ones who haven't come out yet."

Lu Ning was taken aback when she heard this.

"It's just me..."

The tone of the coachman was slightly surprised: "Really? There is only one person left? It is not as expected... But if you are the only one, please get in the car, we have to pick up the rest."

the rest?
Reminiscent of the "Ghost Villa No. [-] to [-]" that the coachman said before, Lu Ning couldn't help but have a guess in her heart.

Yin Lian's words still echoed in her mind.

【If so, if this kind of game continues...】

"Am I...will I continue to enter such a...dangerous world?"

"This question is not suitable for you to answer right now, Miss." The coachman stretched out his hand towards the car door, "Please get in the car, after treating your body and returning your memory, I will answer you everything I know. "

Lu Ning looked at the coachman. The lantern head made it impossible for her to judge the attitude of the coachman. Finally, her heart broke and she walked directly into the carriage.

The moment she walked into the car door, a scream came from behind her head.A gray-black mist rushed out from the back of Lu Ning's head, condensing into a twisted and roaring grimace in mid-air, and disappeared after a while.

Lu Ning, who turned around and saw the grimace, also recognized the face.

Shi Song.

After the grimace disappeared, a warm feeling flowed into Lu Ning's limbs, the accumulated cold was dispelled, and the feeling of fatigue disappeared instantly; the wound on the head, the mud and blood on the body all disappeared, and the clothes changed back It looks like when I first came to the ghost villa.

Immediately afterwards, countless memory fragments suddenly appeared in his mind, gradually filling up Lu Ning's incomplete memories.

During this process, the carriage had already started driving again, and it circled steadily at the gate of the villa, heading down the mountain.A bell rang again from the villa behind him, as if seeing off the last tourist.

Just after turning a corner and the villa was no longer in sight, Lu Ning had already accepted her lost memory.

Mixed feelings.

She was probably the last one in the entire villa who should not have survived, not because of qualifications or anything, but because—the last thing Lu Ning remembered was suicide.

"Are we all dead people?"

"Yes, miss. We gave you a temporary second life. From a human point of view, you have already died once."

Sure enough, the coachman answered all questions.

Lu Ning leaned against the carriage and looked inside.

The size of the train carriage, the layout is like a bar, but there is no waiter in the bar, a variety of drinks are placed on the cabinet behind the bar, and there are refrigerators and vending machines with snacks next to it.

Lu Ning found a bottle of orange juice, took it, opened it, and drank it. The cold sweet and sour taste rushed into her mouth, refreshing her spirits.She sorted out her memories carefully, and also remembered what happened before she came to Ghost Villa.

"We deeply regret the deaths of all of you, so here is an opportunity for you to go back. It's just that a real resurrection is not a miracle that anyone can pray for, so you need to fight for it with your own ability."

A seductive voice, a huge room in dim light, densely packed with people.

"You will face all kinds of situations. In this process, courage, strength, wisdom, and luck can make you stand out. After the final test, you can be resurrected and bring everything you have learned here. And a perfect body—"

Perhaps it was the last sentence that moved Lu Ning.

Her suicide was precisely because she had been plagued by illness for many years, and finally could not bear the unreturned medical expenses that her parents had invested in her, as well as the more and more frequent illnesses.

But, if you can go back healthy...

Those memories are not fake. Her parents cared so much for her, and she was taken care of by classmates and teachers in many ways because she was sick and weak since she was a child. The doctor she found did try to relieve her pain as much as possible.

Lu Ning is indeed surrounded by these "loves", but these loves have gradually turned into unbearable despair in Lu Ning's heart, which has become more and more surly due to illness.

Therefore, even if there is only a little hope, she will grab it.

"I agree."

Without hesitation, Lu Ning agreed to the conditions proposed by the seductive voice, and then she was temporarily cleared of her death-related memories, and was sent to the testing field together with others.

Ghost Villa.

"—I, can I really be resurrected?"

This is the second question.

"It depends on you, miss. The reason why a miracle is a miracle is that it is extremely difficult to achieve. If you want to go back to the world you once had, you have to pass five tests—not simple tests like this ghost villa, but It is a test that may really affect your mind and soul. Of course, before that, you can also choose such a simple test field to accumulate experience and the currency necessary to live in the distribution center."

"currency?"

"Your mobile phone has now installed the personal information query function. The overall evaluation you have obtained in this ghost villa has been converted into the corresponding currency and entered into your personal account."

Lu Ning immediately took out her phone and glanced at the battery was full again.She swiped and found an app with a crow icon.

After entering, Lu Ning's personal page was immediately displayed.However, except for the name and a serial number, all other information on this page is blank, and there are options such as [Account], [Friends], and [Mall].

"Your information can be filled in by yourself, and there is no problem if you don't fill it in. No matter whose client you use, what you open is your own account information, but if you use it yourself, others can see your information. In addition, the rest of the functions are also very useful in your distribution center life, don’t worry, you will have enough time to familiarize yourself with it.”

The coachman explained thoughtfully.

Lu Ning nodded and opened her account.

[Account Amount: 3100 (View Details)]

Checking the details in the details is rather disappointing, only showing the description [Ghost Villa, test, entry 3100].

"You said before that I shouldn't be the only survivor in the ghost villa, so how many people do you expect to be there?" Lu Ning asked.

"I expect seven people, no more than ten, no less than three is normal." The driver replied, "Ghost Villa is indeed difficult, and the elimination rate required for the test is relatively high, but it is rare to have only one left. "

Lu Ning went through the seven days in her mind, and the seven survived?
Even if she didn't have such a bad situation behind her, she didn't think this number of survivors could be achieved.

"how can that be?"

The coachman smiled: "Miss, we are about to arrive at No. [-] Ghost Villa, there is no difference in the rules between you, why don't you take a look."

Lu Ning was taken aback, opened the black curtain of the window, and looked out the window.

The exact same scenery as when I left before, and the mountain villa slowly approaching in the distance.

It's just that there are a few people standing in front of the door.

The two men and two women all looked dull and sad, and their level of distress was not much different from that of Lu Ning before.

But there are four people?

"Misters and ladies, I'm here to pick you up for your return journey, please get in the car."

"Return! Can we go home?"

A woman with disheveled hair rushed directly to the front of the car, regardless of the strange appearance of the coachman, grabbed the coachman and asked loudly.

"My task is to send everyone back to the distribution center, and I am not in charge of what will happen afterwards." The coachman comforted softly, "But you are all fine now, please get in the car, have a good rest, and enjoy some drinks and snacks, it will be very good for you help."

A split-headed man wearing glasses nodded, stepped forward and pulled the woman away, and then said to the driver: "We understand, thank you for coming to pick us up...what's your name?"

"You are too polite. My name is Chuying. I am just a driver responsible for picking up and dropping off tourists. If you have anything to do, please feel free to ask."

The four people got into the car one after another, and also experienced the same wound treatment and clothes cleaning as Lu Ning. The four of them didn't look surprised when they found Lu Ning in the car. Instead, they chose a place farther away to sit. together.

Seeing this, Lu Ning didn't want to start a conversation anymore.

The carriage set off again, this time Lu Ning looked outside, and soon after leaving the villa, the carriage entered a mist, and after the surrounding scenery became clear again, it drove on another same mountain road, but the direction changed again It became uphill.

"Is this... many parallel worlds?"

"Of course you can understand it that way, but they are just fragments and cannot be called a world." Chuying replied with a smile.

"So, is there a prototype?"

"You are really sharp, indeed, this is a fragment we copied from a certain world."
