Returning from the abyss

Chapter 293 Instructions from Superior
When dawn arrived at the distribution center, Lu Ning turned over on the bed, then sat up abruptly, with beads of sweat on her forehead.

The long river of time that was glimpsed in the last scene reappeared in the dream. Although it was just a dream, it made Lu Ning feel nostalgic.She knows that this is just some psychological impact, and it will disappear soon as time goes by, but only experienced tourists like tourists can slowly dilute the nostalgia, like the tone of the scene that was seen in the scene The bartender entrusted all his voice to the process of seeing that scene again.

Lu Ning sighed, reached out and took her mobile phone from the table, and glanced at the information on it.

There are a few friends who don't send messages on a daily basis, but Zhao Xihua likes to send an emoji to greet her when she has nothing to do, and if she writes back to ask her, she will say nothing is wrong.

However, she soon saw that there was an additional email in her Rose Cross mailbox. It was a superior email from "Sea Snake", marked in red, which meant it was an urgent matter.

"Huh? Go to the headquarters at noon, and a commissioner will dispatch a task... Is it finally time?"

It has been more than a month since Lu Ning joined, and it should be the time when the superior sent some tasks, she was not surprised.

After putting on some clothes and going out to say hello to Fujii who was basking in the sun in the yard, Lu Ning walked to the headquarters, which was the teahouse where Li Mingdeng was.

Li Mingdeng is not here today, but there are still many staff members in the teahouse. After Lu Ning reported her name, someone led her upstairs and entered a cubicle. At this time, there was no one there. Lu Ning glanced at it. Time, there are still about 15 minutes until noon.

"Excuse me, who will come today?" She asked the little brother who was leading the way.

"I don't know either, the other person entered with a certificate." The younger brother said apologetically, and then bowed and left.

Lu Ning sat in the room, drank a cup of tea, and finally waited for the commissioner who dispatched the task.

This is a middle-aged man with gray hair and beard, but neatly groomed. He is wearing a majestic fur coat, a short sword hanging from his waist, and a silver velvet cape wrapped around his shoulders. He is nearly two meters tall.This person is easily reminiscent of some strict elders, as if he would reprimand others as soon as he opened his mouth.

The man sat down opposite Lu Ning, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. He didn't drink it, but put it in his hand, looked into Lu Ning's eyes and asked, "Lu Ning?"

"Yes."

At the beginning of speaking, the man restrained his aura, and Lu Ning was able to adjust his emotions a little bit, and began to respond.

"My name is Tong Yan. You won't have heard of my name. I am a special infiltrator among the sea snakes, but this time I came here to send you a mission."

"Yes." Lu Ning didn't ask what a special infiltrator is. In a legion like Sea Snake, all positions except for the general rank are kept secret, so she doesn't need to know.

"Your information has been reviewed by your superiors, and because of your outstanding performance in the last game, the superiors judged that your ability can be upgraded." Tong Yan took out an envelope from his arms, "We will not force you, but The reason why I would give such a suggestion is that most people don’t know the right time to upgrade, and if they miss this time, they may be delayed in the second level due to some special reasons, and eventually disappear.”

"You said...the superior thinks?"

"Yes, generally speaking, such a suggestion will be issued directly from the fifth level, which means at least the level of the legion commander. We are just here to spread the word. Of course, because the risk of leveling up is very high, it has exceeded the normal task execution requirements , so we also provide you with some compensation options on the basis of releasing tasks, you can take a look first."

He placed the envelope in front of Lu Ning, and then picked up the teacup and started drinking tea.

Lu Ning opened the envelope and began to browse the contents inside.

First of all, the task is of course not just as simple as upgrading. After all, this kind of task that everyone will definitely do is not worthy of being issued as a task, so Lu Ning's past has also been reviewed to a certain extent, and a [-]-day period for staying is given. After that, the mission requirements for the last three upgrade times.

The first one is the command to kill the puppet party members. The five puppet party members will be upgraded at this time. If they enter the same scene with any of the five, killing them will not make them enter the third level.

The second is to unite the group in advance, which is a task to form a group with some allies of the Rosicrucian.Before this promotion test, a team of nearly 30 people should be formed, and try to ensure the mutual assistance and high pass rate of the promotion test.

The third is the internal leadership of the Rose Cross, because about a hundred members will choose to upgrade at this time, so a small-scale legion will be formed, but Lu Ning cannot lead everyone, at most it is only a small leader .

Of course, Lu Ning can choose not to rush to rank up, and accumulate a few more games.But after hearing that this was a judgment from the fifth level, she really started to think about it.

And if you want to upgrade, the third time is naturally ruled out, she is no longer used to listening to others give orders to act, in other words, this combat mode is not suitable for her.The first and second ones can be considered, but the later the time, the less compensation the higher-ups will give, so it seems that the first one is more cost-effective, not to mention that she probably has endless debts with the puppet party To count.

After Tong Yan drank a cup of tea, Lu Ning had already made a decision.

"The first one is to kill. I will apply before the end of the fifteen days."

The mighty man's eyes showed appreciation: "Good decision, this saves me from explaining. Since you have chosen this way, the relevant detailed information will be sent to your personal terminal within the next two days, and I will send this Report to the higher authorities."

"Is that enough?"

"Of course, you are free to choose whether to receive the compensation before or after the promotion. If you are confident, it is also a good choice to receive the compensation after the promotion. Now we still have some time. Is there a problem?"

"I didn't inquire too much before, please tell me some characteristics of the second-order promotion test."

Tong Yan nodded slightly: "Yes. The second-level test is still a survival scenario, which is the same as the first-level. Although the difficulty will be raised to the third-level level, in fact, the most difficult chaotic scene of the third level is not Included in this column, you don't have to consider that situation. What you need to pay attention to is the danger of concept judgments that may appear during the test, and pay attention to all the rules that appear in it...even some that are usually ignored, those who are in the third level Difficulty is likely to become an instant death rule. In addition, because the start of the level-up test will definitely bring soul pollution, you have to be prepared to face some difficulties, but you can also directly eliminate part of the soul pollution in the scene. That method is inferior to the distribution center The way it is handled is much better.”

"Can it be done in the scene?"

"Only in the promotion test." Tong Yan shook his finger, "If I tell you about the promotion test, I can talk to you for a day and a night, but since you have already had an experience, you should know …The experience of the predecessors is no more than [-]% effective in the promotion test, and you have to rely on your own ability to pass the level. Only when you have such a talent can you get the attention of the above."

Lu Ning nodded, and Tong Yan smiled slightly: "Are there any questions?"

"A digression. You are from the third level. Do you know Cheng Wuling and Cheng Yurun?"

"These brothers and sisters are your friends, right?" Tong Yan poured a second cup of tea, "I might not know about them if they were ordinary people, but I happened to hear about these two people...their relationship is quite bad .”

"Bad relationship?" Lu Ning recalled Cheng Yurun's various performances of approaching the level of sister control, expressing doubts.

"Well, it's not a quarrel or something. It's just that Cheng Wuling doesn't pay attention to Cheng Yurun, and Cheng Yurun always wants to ask some questions. Although the relationship between these two people is a bit weird, they are both capable. At least I heard that they don't even communicate with each other twice. If necessary, join hands to turn a scene upside down." Tong Yan said with a calm expression.

"I thought you'd see it differently."

"The brothers and sisters of the Cheng family are indeed geniuses, but they are not dazzling enough to shock us. In the Rose Cross alone, there are at least seven third-orders who have been getting full marks from the first scene. If we don't suppress them I’m afraid the progress will jump directly to the fifth level. Of course, I don’t say this to pressure you, because everyone chooses a different path, and even the final goal is different. I’m only a third level, but I’ve heard The fifth level is a place to bury geniuses, no matter how amazing you are."

"The fifth level... so dangerous?"

Tong Yan spread his hands: "I don't know, then you may have to continue to find the answer."

The time is almost up, Tong Yan got up, shook hands with Lu Ning: "I wish you all the best in your promotion test, use your wisdom and skill, as a member of the organization, I hope you can complete the task, but as a tourist , I hope you will always put your life first."

"Thank you, I understand."

Tong Yan patted Lu Ning on the shoulder encouragingly, then turned and walked out.

=============
After leaving the teahouse, Lu Ning didn't go back, but wandered aimlessly on the street.

She doesn't have much fear of leveling up anymore, and now looking back at the blood disaster of the first level, it seems that it is only to that extent, but she has only experienced two second-level scenes, and she has such feelings.

Are you growing fast?Lu Ning is always a little skeptical, she still will not forget her sense of powerlessness at the end of the first scene, the cold rainy night that seemed to be engraved into the blood and bone marrow, the nightmare hovering over a small mountain village.

"Hey! Why is a person distracted here?"

She was slapped on the shoulder, and when she looked back in shock, it was Ye Tisi.

"Long time no see, Lu Ning! Did you miss me? Hahaha, just kidding, you don't seem very happy?" Yetisi's cheerful smile easily dispelled Lu Ning's self-doubt, and thanks to her Always such a dynamic person.

"It's been a long time. How are you doing? The Star Boundary Sanctuary should be a good organization, right?"

"Have you added organization? Originally, I planned to pull you in if you didn't move. Resources can't be wasted, right?" Ye Tisi started to wander around with Lu Ning, and chatted with great interest.

"The Rosicrucian."

"Good place, as a subordinate of Golden Dawn, that is definitely the best organization for us people to join." Yetisi gave a thumbs up, "You are also very good."

"No, it's just that... I seized the opportunity by chance?" Lu Ning felt that she was not too troublesome.

"You have to know that such an attitude of being humble despite being excellent is very annoying." Ye Tisi "intimidated" Lu Ning with her teeth and claws, and then she smiled: "I didn't have a chance to congratulate you before, why don't you go?" Have a meal? Your treat."

Lu Ning also smiled: "Okay, I'll treat you."

The two found a restaurant nearby. Although a place like the distribution center can provide a full menu for all restaurants, in fact, each restaurant has some unique features for the sake of characteristics and life.

This restaurant's dishes are very spicy and spicy. Ye Tisi often eats light and sweet tongues, and now she can't stop her chopsticks from being so spicy that she sheds tears. It's really... very interesting.

Lu Ning couldn't help laughing, she hasn't realized that she can eat spicy food so well, at least she can be calm on the surface.

"You spend more time laughing than before, do you know?" Yetisi still found time to chat, "Your desperate look was really frightening when you got promoted."

"I've always cherished my life. If I really die, I won't do it." Lu Ning argued.

"I don't know!" Ye Tisi stuck out her tongue, then took a big sip of water before saying, "That guy Cheng Wuling got promoted without saying a word, and Mo Xiren, who has mental problems I don’t like contacts, and I don’t let her sister contact others. The connection between me and the previous promotion is almost broken, and the frequency of you entering the scene is too high, right?”

Due to the higher upper limit of the second-order points, many people will relax a little bit the time to enter the scene, and the same is true for Ye Tisi.Those like Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi who waited a month before entering the scene are actually considered a minority, especially since they still have a lot of points.

"If Shu Xing has been training for a long time, Zhao Chenshuang should still be there."

"Zhao Chenshuang doesn't even bother to talk to me. Sister Shu is indeed a nice person." Ye Tisi fanned herself while hissing, "I have met Sister Shu a few times, but I don't know her hard work. Sorry to bother you, right?"

"Isn't there Su Shengge?"

After Lu Ning finished speaking, Ye Tisi suddenly paused.

"Lu Ning, haven't you heard?" Her voice was no longer so cheerful, "Su Shengge is dead."

This is the first time Lu Ning heard that someone she knew died in a certain scene, but she didn't see it with her own eyes.

In the address book provided by the distribution center, there is no life and death test. If you don't contact, that person will always be there.Lu Ning has not deleted Sun Mozhu, Su Zhilan, Shiwen Ye Nai and others so far, but she will not try to send messages there again.

"I might be afraid... I won't get a response again." Lu Ning pursed her lips, and then she realized that she rarely took the initiative to contact anyone.

"This is the most common thing that happens here, Lu Ning." Yetisi said.
