Returning from the abyss

Chapter 298 The Hidden Shadow
The people and scenery in the mirror are actually not abnormal, or they look no different from the environment Lu Ning is in now.But if you look closely, you will find that there is a thin layer of ice on the edge of the sink in the mirror, and this side is just a little wet because of the accumulation of water vapor.

"The temperature over there is much lower than here. It's just that I can't see the scenery outside the window clearly after adjusting the angle, which is even more problematic." Ning Yeyi pointed to the scenery in the mirror, "Although this side The glass is frosted, but the effect in the mirror is too blurry, I doubt that we can’t see the outside world in this world.”

"What if we take a mirror out?" Yan Rong asked suddenly.

"Huh? I don't know..."

"Then try it."

Yan Rong smashed open the mirror next to him with a stick, and took one of the big ones.Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi were no longer surprised by her behavior, and they even began to adapt to Yan Rong's way of acting.

"We can't stay here any longer. We'd better leave first. We've been in for too long." Lu Ning said, lifting up the door panel that was removed at the beginning, and the three of them carried the door out of the bathroom together.

And Qin Yulou outside stood by the window in the corridor and kept staring at the situation here.

"What's going on? I heard someone yelling."

"Something went wrong, let everyone gather first, we need to share and verify some information." Lu Ning nodded at him, and Qin Yulou came over consciously. He is taller and can take the entire door panel away by himself.

On the other side, Cang Su and Xu Jianqi found tools for Rong Han, and they were removing usable parts from the tables and chairs.I don't know if the materials of the tables and chairs here are a little fragile because they have been placed in a humid environment for a long time, so everyone took down a bunch of them without much effort.

"Everyone, something happened over there." Yan Rong broke into the door directly and reminded everyone loudly.Rong Han stopped moving, raised his head and asked, "What happened?"

Ning Yeyi explained the matter succinctly, especially the strange way of death of that person, which was obviously an important reminder in the scene.

"In addition...Mr. Rong is a teacher, right? Then you should have the current school ID card, can you show it for us to compare?" Lu Ning took out Xu Hong's ID card and showed it.

Of course Rong Han didn't mind, he took out his own card, the two cards looked different, and Rong Han's card had an issue date of eight years ago, that is to say, Xu Hong was from at least eight years ago people.

"But how did he survive?"

Xu Jianqi asked his doubts.

"Even if there are things stored in this school, there should be no one that can last for eight years. Since the other person died so easily, how did he survive for so long?"

"We are facing the same problem now." Lu Ning said.

At this time, Zhou Weiyuan suddenly asked, "What else did you find?"

"A hatchet, and a needle."

"Needle?"

Lu Ning took out the needle tube, Zhou Weiyuan looked at it, and immediately became interested: "This is a chemistry classroom, and some sealed chemical reagents are still usable, can you test this thing for me?"

This is not a problem, anyway, Lu Ning has no way to carry out relevant verification, and her knowledge of pharmacy does not include chemical experiments.

Zhou Weiyuan excitedly took the needle and ran to the experimental bench on the other side, where Qin Yulou took over the helping job, he is good at mechanism, this kind of simple job is not difficult for him, soon, a few simple tasks The wooden baffle was made.

Once the things to go out are done, the next problem is all kinds of weird solutions.

"The first is Xu Hong's death. This is the most life-threatening issue. Although his words seem to be insane, if not, it means that he has encountered some monster and is being hunted down by this monster." Lu Ning He began to analyze, "Xu Hong has no obvious injuries on his body. He left the toilet cubicle and began to melt after he found it was raining outside. Is it because the cubicle is a safe area, or is it because of the subjective perception of 'rainy weather'?" ’ and caused his death?”

If it's the former, then it's still a relatively easy scene, and if it's the latter... then the difficulty of the whole scene will instantly rise to an unattainable level.

After all, tourists have always relied on their knowledge to conduct investigations and solve various problems, and the danger of knowing death is simply the nemesis of this method of action.

"I think... it's better to be careful first. We've stayed here for so long and we're still fine, which means we're not afraid of rain, but there may be other weather." Ning Yeyi said.

Several people thought of the low-temperature world in the mirror.

"There is more than one overlapping world. A person with a certain attribute will die instantly if he enters another world... Is that what you think?" Zhou Weiyuan spoke out suddenly, and everyone turned their heads to look at him.

This time he was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and said while continuing the experiment: "But there are two issues involved in this, one is what are the attributes we are endowed with, and the other is which world is the corresponding death. Of course , if we expand the discussion, we have to consider how to avoid entering the world of instant death, and whether Xu Hong's death was entered by mistake or was forced to switch."

"Then there are too many things to consider." Lu Ning said, "We haven't even started exploring yet, and everything is still in an unknown state. We need exact information, what happened here, and what is the gap between the spaces? How to switch, this is the information we urgently need now."

While everyone was thinking, Yan Rong walked to the window, took out the mirror, opened the window and looked outside, then shook his head in disappointment.

"what happened?"

"It's just an ordinary mirror now... No!" Yan Rong noticed a shaking in the corner of the mirror, and immediately turned his head to look at the reality. In the shadow formed by the last row of laboratory tables and reagent cabinets in the classroom, a pair of eyes are coming from Slowly emerging from the shadows.

"Hey! What's that?" Yan Rong immediately pointed the stick at the place where his eyes appeared, but was surprised to find that a layer of cold air had condensed on the stick.

No... what is reflected in the mirror is reality, or that world of heavy rain?
Yan Rong's reaction speed was extremely fast, and he realized the problem in an instant. He immediately threw away the mirror fragment in his hand, turned around and stabbed himself behind with a stick.

If I was pulled in, who was it that asked me just now!

click.

The stick pierced the air behind him, but a crack was opened. Yan Rong saw countless eyes staring at him with evil will from the "shards" like a half-cracked spider web, and this seemed to be just a moment The hallucination, the whole world collapsed into countless fragments, Yan Rong found that he was still standing in front of the window, holding the fragment of the mirror in his hand, but a hole had been poked out in the fragment.

Click.

The fragments of the mirror cracked and shattered in his hand. Yan Rong threw away the residue, then looked at everyone in the classroom. Everyone seemed to be thinking about the important situation that Lu Ning just raised, and no one noticed that they had suddenly entered the classroom. The world in the mirror?
"What is that thing...?" No matter how courageous Yan Rong was, Yan Rong still felt a chill. The countless eyeballs were engraved in her memory like a nightmare, and it was fortunate that it was her, otherwise it would be someone else. I'm afraid I won't be able to maintain my composure.

"Everyone, did something strange happen here just now?" Yan Rong calmed down and asked.

"Huh? Strange thing?" Lu Ning raised her head, only then noticed the shards of the mirror at Yan Rong's feet, and immediately asked, "Have you been attacked?"

"Just now I wanted to see if the mirror could see the outside here. When I looked into the mirror, I entered the world over there. I escaped quickly because of my reaction." Yan Rong frowned and said, "But I'm not sure it's a mirror. Did the monster hallucinate or was really briefly pulled into another world, so I'm asking if you noticed anything unusual."

"You have been here all the time." Zhou Weiyuan said, "You are blocking the window, so the light is a little darker. If you suddenly disappear and reappear, I will notice it here."

"Let's let everyone know in advance what we're going to do next time." Rong Han said, "In short, we've got the things to keep out the rain, and we can go out."

These flashings are made to snap over the shoulder so they don't take up a hand.It's just that the board has to take into account so many people, it's not big enough, it can only cover the top of the head, as for the arms and the like, there is no way.

After the eight people were dressed, Ning Yeyi wrapped the notebook with his jacket as a measure to prevent the rain, and then they went back to the entrance of the teaching building together.

The seal was still sealed. This time Ning Yeyi used the ax to break the seal, and then tried the door lock. Unexpectedly, the ax was really sharp, and the door lock was broken in a few hits. Yan Rong and Qin Yulou kicked it open after a few touches. up.

"By the way, Zhou Weiyuan, what's in that needle?" Lu Ning asked.

"It is basically confirmed that there are no common toxins, and the content of various trace elements in it seems to be relatively rich. I think it is a kind of medicine."

"Isn't this nothing found out?"

"Although I said that there are still some reagents that can be used, but there are not many." Zhou Weiyuan couldn't laugh or cry, "I have tried my best to test, among other things, there are too few samples."

Disappointment is disappointment. In fact, this is the expected result. If the difficulty of the third level can be uncovered, many secrets will be revealed, and it will not be able to block the level of level-up tourists.

============
Looking at the few people walking out of the teaching building, two figures appeared by the window of a classroom on the third floor.

"It was not killed by the old man Cangjing... but it was expected, after all, the attack speed is too slow." One person said.

"It's okay, they didn't find anything, so it's not bad, we can kill them by ourselves, it's better than being killed by the monsters here."

"Monster? Did you call those things by that name?"

"We have to find a collective name."

"...well, where did they go?"

"The nearest one should be the Water Lecture Hall, E2, which should be the site of the Green Lake in this world."

"Green Lake is not very aggressive."

"Then shall we do it?"

"No, it would be a joke if they were counter-killed. Many of those few people are good at this."

After that, the two left the window.

=============
After walking for a while in the heavy rain, everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

Tourists are not particularly obsessed with the environment, but the rainy weather here is too bad. Except for the covered head, other places are quickly wet by rain, and the heaviness is gradually increasing. Quickly take away people's physical strength.

Lu Ning now feels that what she is breathing is water, and the feeling that water droplets are beginning to condense in her nasal cavity is very uncomfortable, and it always makes her feel that she is about to suffocate.

"There is a building in front." Yan Rong suddenly said, "According to the map, we have probably reached the location of the lecture hall on the water, do you want to go in and take a rest?"

"I agree." Zhou Weiyuan nodded, "The weather is really terrible."

"Be careful, there may be monsters." Rong Han reminded.

The water lecture hall is not a large building. About half of its area extends to a small landscape lake on the campus, hence the name.There is only the main lecture hall on the first floor, and the rest are places like toilets, control rooms, backstage, and lounges. Because of these functions, they are often used by students to hold evening parties.

Now, of course, it's a refuge.

The door was not sealed like the previous teaching building, Yan Rong opened the door easily, and the inside was gloomy and quiet, just like the situation in many times in this scene.

"Excuse me." Cang Su hurriedly bowed as soon as he entered the door, then took off his wet coat and began to wring out the moisture inside.The rest of the people also tried to make themselves dry, but even if it wasn't the low-temperature world, the weather was relatively cold, so they would feel very cold no matter what.

"I'll go in and see."

In other words, Yan Rong didn't particularly care about this matter, and he planned to explore it when he came in. Zhou Weiyuan immediately got up and said that he must have a companion for the exploration. The two quickly reached an agreement and walked into the lecture hall.

Lu Ning is not going to go there. The overall area here is just a large classroom plus some small rooms. It is almost unobstructed. If two people go to search and everyone looks here, it is almost the same.

However, shortly after the two left, Lu Ning suddenly heard some special sound mixed with the sound of the rain outside, like the sound of a fish swimming on the surface of the water, and the sound of its tail breaking through the water.

"Everyone, it seems that there is trouble." She didn't care if it was a hallucination or not, and she warned first.

"Ok?"

Lu Ning stood up, looked outside the door, and found nothing unusual, then quickly looked around, and it was still quiet.

Until she lowered her gaze back to the ground.

After the eight people came in, they began to control the water. Except for Yan Rong and Zhou Weiyuan who left immediately, there was a lot of water stains on the ground, which has now turned into a small puddle. When Lu Ning looked over, the water splashed in the puddle. A circle of concentric circles was formed, and then began to expand outward rapidly.

"Foot!" This was the only thing Lu Ning could say in time.
