Returning from the abyss

Chapter 314 Spatial Changes
The Legion of Lights is still in the process of going upstairs. The huge number has brought an overwhelming advantage in force, but it has also lost the power of individual soldiers. At least the Knights of Lights are now busy taking all their members to the stairs that were blown off. The second floor has not yet continued to march upwards.

People here have already started rushing into the auxiliary building along the ropes.Those with strong arms will go to the fifth floor, while those with weaker arms will slide down to the third floor. As for the ropes on the fourth floor, everyone knows that they are reserved for those who are best at encounters.

The person who blew up the overpass must be there.

"Firemane is really reliable, so I'll go there and wait for you."

When Shang Wenxue passed by Yan Rong, she said this with a low smile, only Yan Rong, Lu Ning and Zhou Weiyuan around could hear.

Of course she went to the fourth floor.

With such a rapid evacuation, fewer and fewer people crowded the corridor, but when there were only a dozen or so people left, a loud roar suddenly came from the window on the fifth floor.

A flying knife flew out of the window and cut the rope accurately. The two people who were climbing on the rope suddenly loosened their strength and fell down.The people standing near the rope reacted quickly and pulled the side of the rope, but this only delayed the deaths of the two people—their height fell to the second floor, which is also the floor where a large number of light knights gather now.

Two blue arrows shot out from the wall and hit them accurately. The black body also lost the strength to hold the rope and fell down.

Ning Yeyi drew her gun and aimed a shot at the window on the fifth floor. The distance of about ten meters was exactly within the range, but from this angle, she could only estimate where the person throwing the knife was.

"I'll go take a look!"

She put the pistol back in her waist, jumped on the rope and climbed to the fourth floor.As soon as she set off, the people monitoring the Lantern Corps reported that the Lantern Corps had already begun to climb up to the third floor, and all members should have gone upstairs.

Hearing this, Yan Rong swung his gun and cut the rope on the third floor.Zhou Weiyuan and several other teammates had already gone down before, and the breaking of the rope was the final warning.

Lu Ning stood by the window, watched the ropes fall, and immediately turned around and ran to the stairs of the annex building. The legion of lights had already reached the third floor, which meant that they could not stay here for long.

It's just that she has a question in her mind - why can the archer only shoot flat?
The blue arrow did not fall, so it is understandable that it cannot be thrown.But with that kind of penetrating power and lethality, the Lantern Corps can completely penetrate the entire building with arrow rain washing the ground outside the building. Isn't that much easier than slowly entering the building to search?

Zhou Weiyuan stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Ning up the stairs. The sound of fighting upstairs made Lu Ning regain her thoughts. The fourth floor was clearly in a state of chaos.

It was roughly estimated that the number of people who came over was five or sixty, but with such a numerical advantage, they still couldn't suppress the enemies upstairs, and even developed into a melee?
Lu Ning was a little puzzled, but as soon as she went upstairs, she instantly felt a strange sense of swelling.

"Hey, Zhou Weiyuan! Lu Ning!"

What I saw head-on was the elated Shang Wenxue. Her left shoulder was torn apart by a sharp knife, and now it was bleeding. She was holding a roll of bandages to bandage the wound.Lu Ning frowned slightly: "Are you hurt? Who hurt you?"

"It's an old opponent, it's nothing serious. Those guys should have figured out the law of space transformation, and now they have successfully entered the lecture theater. If they don't hurry up, the device will be controlled by them."

"Then why are you happy?" Zhou Weiyuan raised his eyebrows.

"It's nothing, I'm just very excited! Don't care about these trivial things, we have to find a way to stop them?" Shang Wenxue urged.

At this moment, the sense of swelling was suddenly withdrawn, like an invisible film passing over the body, Lu Ning suddenly felt a tinnitus, and couldn't help covering her ears, but at the same time, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped to nearly The freezing point, the terrible cold invaded the limbs and bones, causing Lu Ning to fight a cold war.

Spatial changes began to spread!

It's okay to be cold, Lu Ning is most afraid of being sent directly into the world of instant death. Fortunately, she is lucky, and she didn't feel any abnormality in her body after waiting for several seconds.

"This is terrible~"

Shang Wenxue's voice sounded when she let go, but at this time there was no sound of fighting in the corridor ahead.

Apart from Lu Ning, Shang Wenxue and Zhou Weiyuan, there was no fourth figure in this corridor.Everything was quiet, leaving only the cold wind howling outside.

"Are we transferred to another world?" Lu Ning looked around hastily. The ice flowers on the window, the white air from her breath, and the quiet and deep night in the sky are indeed no longer in the world of lights. .

At this time, there was a light sound from the corner, and Shang Wenxue casually swiped over there with his cane, smashing an ice mouse that jumped out from the dark into pieces. on the ground.

"Little monsters will also drop some things." Shang Wenxue bent down and picked up two copper coins, weighed them, and curled her lips slightly, "It's so cool."

"New world, new monster." Zhou Weiyuan took out the yellow paper and ignited it, and the slightly pungent smoke rose with the flame, surrounding the three of them as if they were sane.

"At least we are safe for the time being. There will be no Legion of Lights in this world." Lu Ning pointed to the quiet corridor in front, "We can try to get in touch with the device here."

Zhou Weiyuan nodded: "Let me study the spatial changes here, so as not to cause any problems."

"How do you study?"

"The little animals just now, can you catch some of them alive for me? Miss Shang..." Zhou Weiyuan said to Shang Wenxue.

"That's no problem, but with that alone, you can study the spatial changes?"

"There is a concept in magic science called substitution measurement. If I don't have any prerequisites, of course I can't measure the change with a few mice, but the device has been activated by our enemies. For me, it is the first time. If I have the information in hand, then I can restore the control method used by the enemy in a little time, and further deduce the spatial change formula they obtained."

Zhou Weiyuan looked quite confident, Shang Wenxue shrugged, turned and walked towards the stairs: "Wait for me for a while."

After Shang Wenxue went downstairs, Zhou Weiyuan and Lu Ning exchanged a serious look.

"The situation over there is probably not very good." Lu Ning said, "The other party uses the device to split the space and transmit, and the advantage in numbers is gone in an instant, not to mention that some people may be killed on the scene because of 'smuggling'."

"But do we need to go back?" Zhou Weiyuan asked, "As you can see, since we have changed the world, there is a high probability that other people will also enter another world. It is still unknown how many people are left in the world of lights. .Even if we go back, I'm afraid we won't be able to save anyone, and may fall into danger instead."

"Yan Rong, Ning Yeyi, we both have friends, the situation is unknown..."

"I don't think Yan Rong will be in any danger." Zhou Weiyuan grinned, "I've known her for a while, and she has no major problems other than being too straightforward, and her force value is also a guarantee. I think even if She will be fine if I die, how about you? Can you trust your friend?"

Lu Ning was silent for a moment, and then said: "Ning Yeyi is better than me in terms of comprehensiveness. You are right, I should trust her more... Then let's go in and get the device now?"

"Ah."

Zhou Weiyuan sat directly on the cold ground, took out a pen and paper and began to draw some talismans that Lu Ning could not understand.

At this time, Lu Ning couldn't do anything else, so she walked towards the window while guarding Zhou Weiyuan.

This should be the extremely cold world seen in the mirror, the cold wind outside has been blowing, and the biting chill has never weakened in the slightest.Lu Ning wiped the glass with her sleeve, barely opening a small opening where she could see the outside.

"Well?"

Lu Ning noticed something wrong, but instead of disturbing Zhou Weiyuan, she glanced at the night sky outside.

Neither of the previous two worlds had such a clear night.There are a few scattered stars in the dark sky, and a pale cold moon hangs high in the sky, and the light that falls makes the ground look not so dark.Those who don't know it may think that this is just an ordinary winter night.

After standing in front of the window for a while, Lu Ning pulled out the obsidian dagger and drew two cuts on the window frame, then she put away the knife and walked back to Zhou Weiyuan's side.

About six or seven minutes later, Shang Wenxue came back. She was holding a bag made of a fabric she didn't know where it came from, and there were more than a dozen ice mice whose limbs and tails had been knocked off.

"There are many such things in the building. I saw a wild boar in the corridor of the main building on the third floor. Could it be that the world is full of animals?"

Zhou Weiyuan took the cloth pocket and took out an ice mouse from it.Its appearance is crystal clear, slightly blue, and a copper coin can be seen sealed inside through its body, but its appearance is that of a mouse, and it even tried to bite Zhou Weiyuan with its mouth open.

"The three previous books should have mentioned something about the cold world." Lu Ning said.

Shang Wenxue clapped her hands fiercely: "That's right, the Ice Princess and the Crystal Forest, the White Witch's riddle, the eternal Breathing Valley... These are all stories in cold weather."

"You really did remember it." Lu Ning knew that Shang Wenxue must not have forgotten it.

"But there are also human beings in those stories. Why do we see animals now?"

Lu Ning could see that Shang Wenxue just wanted to find something to say. She didn't believe that such an all-rounder who could fight alone would not think about it, but she didn't want to get entangled in such useless topics.

Seeing that Zhou Weiyuan was approaching the area of ​​space transformation, Lu Ning walked over and continued to guard the surroundings.Shang Wenxue, who was left in place, could only shrug her shoulders: "It seems to be hated again."

Zhou Weiyuan's method is also very simple. After approaching, he starts to throw ice mice and records the reaction.He didn't use much strength, and the angles and directions were also different. Lu Ning didn't know what data she could gain by doing this. She hadn't experienced any magic scenes, so she didn't pay special attention to this aspect in her consciousness. Research.Because it is different from science and technology, the biggest feature of the magic scene is that there is no general technical axiom but the personal strength improves extremely fast.

Soon the bag of ice mice was used up, and several of them melted instantly. Zhou Weiyuan quickly jotted down a bunch of characters in his notebook, then walked back to the original place, immersed in his calculations.

Shang Wenxue looked eager to try, as if she still wanted to chat, Lu Ning felt a little headache, and walked to the window just now.

"Lu Ning, do I really hate you?"

coming.

Lu Ning sighed and turned around, and found that Shang Wenxue was still wearing that characteristic polite smile, without any sad or sad expression at all.

"...You gave me a strong sense of laceration." Lu Ning had no choice but to say.

"Oh?"

"You enjoy all kinds of danger, and you are very keen on those adventures, that's okay. I have a friend who is like this, and she can also enjoy such a death trial. But her every move is also Tell everyone clearly that you enjoy it, but you... have been suppressing it, and instead cover it up with polite behavior that doesn't match your eyes."

"So that's what you're talking about?"

"I can clearly feel that your behavior is completely inconsistent with your own personality. Generally speaking, you are a poor liar. So this is not hate, but people's natural rejection of false things."

"That's it..." Shang Wenxue touched the handle of the cane, "You are the first person to tell me this, it sounds very reasonable."

But immediately afterwards, she bowed slightly: "It's a pity that I still have to act like this, because if I completely release my nature, I will probably go to a path that will never return. Although I have no friends , I don’t want to let myself fall into that situation.”

Lu Ning didn't expect her to say that.

"Is there something wrong with you?"

"When we entered the distribution center, they should have explained it, right? Our new body is just like a human being, and we have cured all the diseases we had during our lifetime. It is a completely healthy body...but the distribution center does not treat mental illnesses. Shang Wenxue shook her finger, "From the most basic mental aphasia, imaginary disability, to the more serious mania and anti-social tendencies, these cannot be recovered by means of restoring the body."

Lu Ning knows this, just like Xuan Zitong's difficulty in speaking is because she has certain social barriers and other psychological problems. There are many similar examples.

"And I am in this category of people." Shang Wenxue pointed to her chest, "We are born with some incurable 'diseases', even if we are successfully resurrected, they will not be cured. Can this kind of thing be cured? It's all up to you."

"So your question is..."

"Killing, that's right." Shang Wenxue chuckled, "It's nature, a very troublesome nature. I am very similar to those notorious lunatics you know. Things like destroying property and killing animals. I've done it all, and the only thing I haven't crossed while I'm alive is the last line."

Lu Ning was silent.

"And coming to this unfettered world, it was perfect for me. No one or the law restrained me, but luckily in my misfortune, I met someone."
