Returning from the abyss

Chapter 321 Mission Information
[Flower plague started in the afternoon.

All plants open their flowers at this time, spewing out their own pollen.If there are wind moths, they will shuttle among the flowers and spread the pollen quickly. This is the natural ecology here.

But for life other than insects, this is a desperate situation.

Pollen is a deadly virus that can quickly infect a person even if it is inhaled.The initial symptom is that the joints are dry and cracked, and there are dark red folds like flower buds. At this stage, there is no pain or bleeding.People can only feel lethargic and drowsy, and most people can't wake up because of this.

Of course, being awake is not necessarily a happy thing.

Plants need water and light to grow, so you'll get dehydrated quickly, even if you start to rehydrate, it will only delay death for a moment, because the flower will always grow faster than you can drink water.Afterwards, you start to lose your eyesight because the retina has been filled with chlorophyll, which is evidence of the spread of flower blast.

People in the late stage of flower plague are like a plant, even the skin will turn green, and the hair will fall off, replaced by the fine buds of the plant.If it is not dead at this time, then the person will complete the final "flowering", the flower buds on all the joints of the body will open at the same time, spewing out a large amount of pollen and some bone powder, joining those plants that have opened flowers.

From infection to final flowering, it usually does not exceed one day and night, and flower blast can always catch up with the next noon.

——"Meergan's Rubik's Cube·Plant World"]

=================
The rattan sticks into the wall, opening up a large number of precarious cracks in the building. The buzzing of insects can be heard in the ears. The closer to the ground, the darker the green haze will always cover the land. The dark green "water" is almost formed in the place.

B3 is close to the edge of the school, and not far away is the campus wall. This time the world has no special things to seal the border, but as far as the eye can see, the buildings outside the campus are already covered with huge flowers. The known Rafflesia flower is even bigger, and it keeps spitting out pale golden powder in the area outside the school.

Anyone who has roughly read those three books knows how dangerous this is.

As for the campus, although there are no flowers, there are a lot of vines growing. Standing on the third floor, you can't even see what the ground has become. No matter how you look at it, you can't just enter the dark green fog.

"It's not bad. These vines have grown to the point of building bridges between buildings. We can climb from the air." Shang Wenxue glanced outside.

"But isn't your shoulder injured?" Lu Ning glanced at her. Ordinary actions may not be affected, but this kind of action that requires upper body strength, the shoulder wound is very fatal.

"Hmm..." Shang Wenxue stretched out her hand and pressed it on her shoulder, "It is indeed more difficult to use this hand..."

Before Lu Ning could think of another way, Shang Wenxue slapped her hands: "Then I just walk over?"

walk over?
Lu Ning glanced at the vines growing between the floors. Although they were thick, they were still rickety like a suspension bridge due to the distance. It was not more difficult than walking a tightrope at 01:30.

At this moment, Zhou Weiyuan patted her on the shoulder.

"The pterosaurs are very good at this kind of acrobatics, and sneaking in from almost impossible places is the group's favorite thing to do."

"Hahaha, don't call us the same as thieves." Shang Wenxue smiled, then walked to the window, and cut off a few vines with a sweep of the cane, and then stretched out her hand to test the firmness of the vines , nodded.

"You can go."

"Wait a minute, we should have searched this room before that." Lu Ning took out her phone and shook it, "The investigation task still hasn't been completed."

"Should we investigate all the worlds?" Shang Wenxue raised her eyebrows.

"No, there's something wrong with not having a clue, we must have overlooked something."

Lu Ning turned around and scanned the entire room again.Due to the world switching, the furnishings in the room have also changed to the appearance of this world.Humidity and heat are obviously more likely to cause decay than coldness. The books and wooden objects kept in this room have already grown mold at this time.

However, this eliminates a lot of useless information.

If the distribution center hopes that the things that tourists investigate can be found in any world, it must exist in any world.According to the characteristics of each world described in those three books, those items that are easily destroyed by the characteristics of the world do not need further investigation.

Wood and books rot, metal rusts, walls peel, none of these are absolute constants.

Lu Ning turned her eyes to the objects in the room, and finally landed on a flower pot in the corner.

The plants that had been planted inside had long been replaced by crazily growing vines, but probably because of the limited nutrients in the soil of the flowerpot, those vines stopped growing after only extending about one meter.Lu Ning drew out her dagger and approached it. After testing it for a while, she cut off the rattan directly, and then pulled the flower pot, which was about the height of her knee, out of the rattan area with great effort.

"You think the information will be here?"

"If there is no external damage, ceramic and glass products have stronger environmental adaptability. Of course, what we are looking for is information, regardless of the use of high-tech means, if we just use sharp tools to write, that is, this pottery Flower pots are perfect."

Shang Wenxue came over and circled the flower pot: "There is no trace outside, so it is inside?"

"Cover it with soil. In many worlds, this flower pot is probably just filled with soil. There are extra vines here. This way, the possibility of falling over and breaking is even smaller. If it is carved inside, the soil It also helps color the nicks, making it easier for someone who wants to pour the dirt out to see what's inside."

As Lu Ning spoke, she dug out the roots of the vines inside, and then began to dig out the soil by handfuls.

Just dug out the soil about one finger deep, and Lu Ning saw the obvious handwriting that part of the soil seeped into the notch.

Probably because it is inconvenient to write letters on the inner wall of the hard pottery flower pot. These characters are upside down and the font is very ugly, but they can barely be recognized under the lighting.

Shang Wenxue and Zhou Weiyuan also worked together, digging and reading. There are nine lines of handwriting in the flower pot, which happens to be this number again.

【One, Thunderfall, Fraternity, Cloud Eye

Two, Yudu, Mo Nian, Rain Master
Three, weathering, aversion to nonsense, wind worship
Four, freezing, attacking, ice core
Five, summer beetle, greedy soul, flame stone
[-]. Eternal Brightness, Embrace the Crowd, Hold the Lamp
[-]. Plague, hate bitterness, wisteria
[-]. Poison Seed, Orthodoxy, and Bone
Nine, blood cage, middle heart, red ogre]

After identifying the characters one by one and copying them down, the three of them were in a state of bewilderment.

"What do you mean?"

Shang Wenxue was the first to ask.

The first word after the number probably represents a different world, and the third word should basically be the code name of the world controller. This information can also be bought from merchants, but now it is considered to save the money.

But the second word in the middle is something that I have never even seen before.

"Are there still so many ways in this scene?" Shang Wenxue stared at these words for a long time, feeling that she almost didn't recognize them, and still didn't know what they represented.

"The task is completed, this is the key clue." Lu Ning checked her phone, and the investigation task was finally completed. It seems that this is what the scene makes tourists look for, not the sympathetic device.

"What do you think these represent? Since the distribution center asked us to come here, it must have some meaning."

"The way to kill all the world's final bosses?" Shang Wenxue's thinking was still thinking in this direction, "The first one represents the name of the world, the second one represents the name of the hidden artifact, and the third one is the world's strongest monster, like this?"

Although I know that she is just talking casually, but I have to say that she has some personal characteristics.

"I think, from the middle of these adjectives, it seems that the dangers in the described world should be described, or troubles. For example, if the world of heavy rain corresponds to the second one, then Mo Nian may refer to the hidden monsters in it. The Lantern Corps of the Lantern World It also fits the meaning of 'crowd'. We didn't explore that cold world too much before, but if we look at the aggressiveness of those creatures, it's not incomprehensible to attack."

Zhou Weiyuan also expressed his opinion.

"You yourself think there is something wrong with this inference." Lu Ning smiled.

"Well, these can't be interpreted in a literal sense, maybe they are really proper nouns, so I can only forcefully explain them like this, do you have any ideas?" Zhou Weiyuan looked up at her.

"This is a survival scene. The help provided by the distribution center should only help us survive, but it will not help us complete the task, or even defeat the monsters in the scene." Lu Ning slowly entered these words into the mobile phone, and said after sorting out his thoughts .

"Makes sense, so what will help us survive better without helping us accomplish our mission?"

"Of course it's the problem I've been worrying about...the unconditional death when switching worlds." Lu Ning raised her head and looked at Zhou Weiyuan and Monk Wenxue, "First of all, we need to be clear about one thing. What we are looking for is not the auxiliary items arranged for us in the scene by the distribution center, but the original things in the scene. The words on it were engraved later, which means that someone discovered the mystery of the emergency lettering, The tools used are not handy, so the engraving is so ugly."

"so what?"

"Why are the characters upside down? Because the engraver puts the flowerpot down and puts his hand into it. Since the diameter of the flowerpot itself is not large, it is almost equivalent to blind engraving. His characters must not be too small. After all It needs a greater error tolerance rate. That’s why the space inside the flowerpot is filled with such Braille. Under such conditions, there is no need to talk about logic at all. The important thing is to point out the key words so that people who follow The necessary information can be retrieved through these few keywords.”

"Like a paper outline?" Shang Wenxue immediately gave an example.

"...More or less. In short, the engraver hastily engraved these words, which shows that these words are the most important factors in these worlds in the eyes of that person. The numbers probably refer to the experimental groups responsible for studying each world. Number, the second is the name of the world, the fourth word represents the most powerful monster in the world, your idea is how to defeat the monster, but the person who hastily carved these words was really thinking about how to defeat those monsters ?"

Lu Ning put the phone back into her pocket, adjusted her posture, and asked Zhou Weiyuan and Wenxue to digest her words and the key points.

"At that time?" Zhou Weiyuan's expression changed slightly.

"That's right... If the information exists in every world, it means that these words were carved before the resonance occurred. Even if you have time to engrave the words after entering here, you will not come to this place repeatedly. To sum up, the engraver knew that he was about to enter this world, so he hastily engraved these before entering to remind people who can find out later. Therefore, the point of these words should be—the fatal factor in the scene. "

She rubbed the dirt on her fingers, and she already had a rough guess about the identity of the engraver, but the more important thing was the row of words she had never seen before.

"That should represent a certain attribute that each of us has. The method of determination is unknown, but once a person with that attribute enters the corresponding world, he will die unconditionally. This is the truth of Xu Hong's death before. His attribute is Last Thought. "

"But how do we determine our own attributes? Do we have to ask the businessman about this kind of thing?" Shang Wenxue asked.

"Businessmen won't tell us, I think so." Lu Ning shook her hand, "The distribution center told us directly where this key information is hidden, and even made a layer of sympathetic device skin to lure tourists to fight. Merchants probably won't leak such core information, just like they won't sell the weaknesses of the strongest monsters."

"Won't that be a headache... Wait a minute, I remember what you said just now, the key word?" Shang Wenxue remembered another point that Lu Ning just said.

"Well. Obviously, being able to have such a level of understanding of all worlds before entering, and even knowing the deadly factors and powerful monsters in advance, shows that this person has an in-depth understanding of each world. This is definitely not separated later Those members of the research team can do it. This person should be the main person in charge of the entire research project, maybe even the supervisor. Since he knows these words, then the information storage device belonging to him must be able to pass through these keywords directly retrieve the information we need."

Lu Ning turned her head and glanced outside, the green sunlight was fading, and another night was coming.

"Now, we need to find out where the executive kept the information."

And, avoid yourself from falling into the world of death due to any accident.
