Returning from the abyss

Chapter 43 The Turning Night

I made a mistake……

There should be some things in this world that should never be touched, and some secrets that should never be discovered... They do exist, but we ignore them.

This is retribution, it will be my turn soon, I am afraid, Lu Ning, I know this request is too much, please help me, I still—

Garbled characters.

An automatically generated document appeared on Lu Ning's computer.The above content can be said to be a distress signal. Although it seems to have no beginning and no end, Lu Ning immediately realized who sent the message.

Is it Yan Yue?But why is it this way...or why can she use this supernatural form to convey messages?Did she receive her message?That being the case, why didn't you answer in the first place?

Thinking of her mission, Lu Ning suddenly noticed a problem.

I saw my mentor Fan Xiaoyun and my senior sister Yan Yue, but I just need to take Yan Yue out of Danma's range.Does this also imply that Fan Xiaoyun has no hope of being rescued or...is it necessary?

A chill rose from my heart.

She originally thought that the [-]-day mission would be enough for investigation and energy storage, but even if she didn't waste too much time, her mission was on the verge of failure from the very beginning!
"Don't panic, if this was sent by Yan Yue...if it wasn't sent by Yan Yue..." Lu Ning stood up and began to slowly circle around the room.This time, the danger of not being a central mystery made her fully feel the lack of planning. As more and more things came to her mind, she gradually lost the focus.

At this moment, a few fireworks suddenly lit up in the distant sky, and clusters of colorful fireworks exploded in the air, which was really beautiful.Seeing this scene, Lu Ning realized that there was a rehearsal for the Frost Day celebration tonight. These fireworks were probably a preview of the ignition device, and they were also a fun before the festival.

That being said, Shu Xingruo and the others are also rehearsing in the last few days, and the two addresses she sent are likely to be where the rehearsal will take place, and only in this way can information be exchanged.

No - that's not what it means!
A flash of inspiration came to Lu Ning's mind, and she immediately began to inquire about the itinerary of the star group in Danma—since there is a promotional video, these have probably already been announced on the Internet.

Looking at it this way, although it is not full every day, there are indeed many interviews, fan activities and other things, and there are also many entertainment-related schedules.The Danma Daily interview on July No. 12 and the Quyi Garden listening to operas on July No. 14 are all in this long list.

That being the case, the purpose of Shu Xingruo specifically pointing out these two places is... to ask for help?
According to Danma Daily, Shen Xinyue's workplace is there. In other words, Shen Xinyue is probably the person Shu Xingruo can turn to for help there.If the conditions are similar, there should also be someone who can help in the Hongxiu Quyi Theater.In the absence of personal help, the person who can help is probably also a "crow" from the distribution center, and this leads to another inference.

"Shu Xingruo, Shen Xinyue, people from Hongxiu Theater, and an X as an intermediary to make contact, these people are almost certainly in the same camp, this mission provides them with the conditions to gather quickly, in other words, if they can't unite quickly, they It is the weaker side. It seems that Shu Xingruo has also considered this issue, and her call for help—no, this is rallying."

Lu Ning wondered if she was thinking too much. Two times and places require others to infer this. Is this really what Shu Xingruo asked of herself?

The answer is obvious, no.

Shu Xingruo just gave a chance to join that group at the right time and place. She didn't just want people from the same camp, but all possible allies.Whether Lu Ning can think more is not a consideration, as long as she believes and goes there, the following things will develop naturally.

Conversely, if Lu Ning didn't go, it wouldn't hinder the team.

"what……"

Lu Ning rubbed her temples and threw herself on the sofa. Sure enough, everyone was investigating Danma's weirdness at their own pace, and Shu Xingruo just did the most important thing right now:

Bring everyone together.

"I have notified them as much as possible, although many have not responded..."

"enough."

Shu Xingruo leaned on the sofa, throwing and picking up a bug in his hand, his mood finally eased a little compared to the tension these days.

A monitoring device that she pretended to have accidentally destroyed before has not been repaired, which means that the other party's response is not so fast, and may not even pay attention to her situation at all.Although this means that the other party has a larger surveillance area, it is a good thing for her personally.

"How many people do you think will come by then?"

On the other side of the phone, Han Yin still remained skeptical.

Through the channels of the secret explorers, as well as personal relationships, it stands to reason that more than ten people should have arrived at the Danma Daily building the day after tomorrow. This number has already exceeded the total number of secret explorers, and it may be comparable to the camp with the largest number of people.

But, will these people really rush to a party where they don't know the details?
"They will come. Everyone who has survived several testing grounds has strong confidence in themselves, not to mention every invitation we send out gives them something to rely on. What can't it be?"

"But then..."

"Don't worry, if everyone is here, there won't be nothing. What's more, the NO.12 party is just an outpost... I can't go there."

"What? Then..."

"There's someone who's going to take care of everything for me, you just have to go there when the time comes, and by the way, what's your personal goal?"

"...Sorry, I don't want to tell anyone."

Shu Xingruo smiled, didn't ask any more questions, and hung up the phone after saying goodbye.

Many people are destined to be unable to sleep peacefully this night.

Just after midnight, Lu Ning, who was lying on the bed looking up online information, received a safe text message from Xiao Shifan——

[We have already received Ye Fei, he is safe and has returned to the hotel, we will contact you tomorrow. 】

Ye Fei was brought back safely?Then it would be a good thing... at least to be able to understand what happened to them and why some people died.

Thinking about the things of these days in my mind, I fell into a deep sleep unconsciously.

……

The humans submerged in the mire finally showed their heads again from the other side, and the mud stained their heads and faces slipped down their skins—the clothes were completely gone, and everyone was walking neatly and slowly as if they were newborns. Walked ashore from the other side of the quagmire, walked into the unfathomable darkness in the distance, and disappeared.

A hole appeared in the sky, and Lu Ning intuitively felt that she could no longer observe this scene, and her body was also flying towards the sky uncontrollably at this moment—straight into the hole, and when she felt it again, she had already It's the vast nebula.

She shuttled through the nebula like a shooting star. Between the birth and death of countless stars, the universe evolved into more and more complex galaxies, and time and space gradually became blurred. Then——

She saw the light.

"!!!"

Lu Ning stood up, and the morning light shone on her face through the slits of the curtains, slightly dazzling.She couldn't help squinting her eyes, reached out and touched her neck, and found that the cold sweat on her body hadn't subsided.

"What the hell am I dreaming about?"

She grabbed the backpack at the foot of the bed, and took out the string of jade stones from it. Surprisingly, the black evil spirit on it had faded a lot at this moment, and it could be said that half of the evil spirit had disappeared.

This is not normal... It stands to reason that evil things should accumulate more power as they act as demons. I have never heard of ghosts being able to transform evil spirits.

It seems necessary to make that call.

Before that, Lu Ning checked the message on the phone.Yuan Xi said that there was an important matter for discussion today, and he could only come back to deal with the issue last night. Xiao Shifan took Ye Fei to find Song Baoguo's body. The specific situation was not elaborated. It seems that although the attitude of the two has eased , still has reservations about her.

But this is also expected.

Soon, Lu Ning dialed the phone number given to her by the fat man Jiang Tong in the antique shop. Without waiting for too long, a lazy-sounding man answered the phone.

"Who... don't you know I'm still sleeping so early?"

Lu Ning glanced at the clock in the room, it was just past eight thirty.

"A day's plan is in the morning. There is business coming, boss."

At the same time, Yuan Xi also met a capable young man in the municipal office.

"Good morning, both of you. I am the person in charge of Ms. Yuan Xi's investment discussion this time. My name is Kong Si."

There was a polite smile on the young man's face, and his posture was very modest, but he didn't put it too low.It's not that Yuan Xi has never seen such a shrewd person, and she doesn't hate dealing with such people.

"Then what should I call you?"

"Oh, although I still have some personal duties, the main job is to be the mayor's secretary. Just call me Secretary Kong. I don't know if you..."

"That's good. Mayor Xiang Wenhai is still so busy? I remember saying hello early on."

"Yes, I'm really sorry, because the recent celebration is approaching, the mayor has to check everywhere every day, including those of us who are actually too busy to even have time to eat, and even want to hire a few temporary workers to help Kong Si said half-jokingly, "But Ms. Yuan Xi's investment plan is also a serious matter. The development of Danma needs big companies to come here to develop it. History has given us a good inspiration."

"Okay, but you also need to know that I'm just conducting preliminary inspections. Although I personally have some decision-making power... But if you want me to convince the board of directors, you need some practical things." Yuan Xi chuckled, "Kong How about the secretary take me around Danma today and introduce the advantages here?"

"Naturally, I listen to what you want." Kong Si took out a folder from the drawer, "It just so happens that the Frost Day Celebration is also a local feature. If you don't mind, we can start here, how about it?"

The two talked harmoniously, as if they were really just an investor and a government official discussing affairs.
