Returning from the abyss

Chapter 607
The stairs in the Liaison Department go down, and the entire room has a three-story structure. A large number of screens occupy almost all the space on the wall. Although there are no connecting lines to make it look less scattered, the black and white screens The imagery in color really sends chills down the spine.

Part of the image can even be seen clearly, in fact, it is worse than not being able to see clearly. Lu Ning can see some painful and hideous death, and even the camera is facing the face of the deceased, slowing down at about one-tenth of the speed Watching the scene of their death.

"Wouldn't it be crazy to work in this kind of place?" Zhu Qinyuan couldn't help but said, "I can't bear to face such a screen for a day."

"Maybe it wasn't like this originally, Liaison Department...let me have a look." Let me look at the signs on the third floor, "This floor is for internal communications, the lower floor is for external communications, and the bottom floor is for processing Ministry contact."

"Why should the processing department be listed separately?" Yuan Jie asked strangely.

"Probably something special. Is there anyone going down with me to see?" Yuan Jie and Lian Bisheng immediately followed when Ren walked down the stairs, while the three Lu Ning stayed on this floor.

Ignore those screens, this is more like a normal command center or something.Lu Ning found a cardboard box from a cabinet, which was full of video tapes, and the numbers on them were different.She took out a few rolls of video tapes with doubts, but when her fingers touched the lower layer, a gray fluid suddenly flew out from her cuff.At the same time, a screen on the wall suddenly turned into color and began to grow bigger and bigger. Yan Rong and Zhu Qinyuan immediately pulled out their weapons and tried to attack the screen. Unexpectedly, the weapons disappeared into the screen, and then the three of them were also magnified The screen swallowed it.

They returned to the entrance, and the short corridor remained unchanged, except for some lively decorations.Lu Ning blinked, and felt that the color of this world was a little pale, like a slightly overexposed photo.

[I have heard of Vera, the youngest genius scientist in history, her fame is even known to some illiterate old people in the countryside, but now, I think it is necessary for me to visit her. 】

A voice sounded like a narration, it was a young and majestic male voice, Lu Ning turned his head sideways, a man had just entered the door and was passing through this aisle.The man's face was not particularly clear, with a crown on his head, the three of them immediately knew that this might be the rumored king.

The king passed through Lu Ning's shoulders, but did not touch her, which meant that they were really nothing this time, unlike the sudden appearance yesterday.

"Follow up and have a look." Zhu Qinyuan has already cheered up. The occurrence of the abnormal situation may be related to the treasure. If it is really the treasure, then this trip is worthwhile.

[It was a gloomy afternoon, I walked into Vera's research institute.It is said that this place really belonged to Vera at the beginning, and occasionally she would go to a nearby town to eat some food, but most of the time the institute is self-sufficient.If so, the scientist may have been able to construct a miniature ecological cycle. 】

A researcher appeared in front of him. The reason why he said he appeared was because this person suddenly appeared after the king approached, and there was no one there before.

"Only relevant ones will be displayed..." Lu Ning said in a low voice.The king and the researcher were obviously talking, but no sound came out. I don't know if it was because of the setting of the treasure or something wrong with the video.

Soon, the researcher opened a door on the side of the Daguang Room with excitement and ran in.To Lu Ning and the others, the most surprising thing was that there was a door in this place.

"Huh? Before, wait a minute, there is a door here? How did he open it?" Yan Rong rushed to the wall and touched it carefully a few times. The door and the wall are tightly attached together, and it is completely invisible. No wonder Nobody had noticed it before.

"We can come back and try after we have settled the treasure here, but I think most of them need some identity verification." Lu Ning said.Now the king has found a seat and sat down. There are no other people around him, probably because he has not had any communication with him.

Soon, the door on the wall opened again, and the researcher walked out with a brunette woman wearing a green plush sweater and a white researcher uniform. She looked really young, and she seemed to be less than 20 years old. Aged, with a confident and proud smile on his face, with his hands in his pockets and brisk steps.She had an ID tag pinned to her chest, and unlike the researcher who only had a number, this ID tag had a name—Vera.

[Vera is similar to many geniuses I have seen. She is extraordinary ingenuity and has strong self-confidence. Even in the face of me, she will not let her head bow.I admire such people very much. A truly talented person is qualified for such a gesture. Maybe I made the most correct choice. 】

After the researcher had introduced the king to Vera, he disappeared like smoke, indicating that he was no longer important in this image.

The king and Vera started a conversation, and everyone couldn't see the king's face clearly, so naturally they didn't know what the king said.As for Vera, it was also a little difficult to lip-read what she was saying.

Fortunately that "narrative" will still sum it up.

[I asked her if she would take over what I brought, one of the most obscure research topics in this country.She showed contempt, of course, having encountered no obstacles in all the research she had conducted before...but this time was different.Time is an eternal problem in scientific research, and what I bring up is not a single problem, but a time phenomenon that occurs everywhere in the entire country. 】

Vera received two reports in envelopes from the past. During the reading process, she finally frowned slowly, but it took only a moment for her to relax her brows.

[She told me that it was indeed a little challenging, but not to the point where it would overwhelm her.I laughed, Vera was indeed the person I had been looking for, and I should entrust this matter to her. 】

The king stood up and seemed to be asking Vera questions one by one, and Vera answered while looking at the report. The communication between the two became more and more fluent, and the three onlookers could only try to read some words from Vera. .After about 5 minutes, the king sat down again, and Vera put the envelope back on the table.

[There is only one thing, her researcher will not leave the institute, she needs me to have someone bring those phenomena to the institute.Before this, I hadn't even thought about this method, and Vera provided some tools she made that allowed me to have some people cut the entire area with time phenomena and bring them here.She is an unexpected scientist, and only such a person can solve the time disasters in our country one by one. 】

After the two saluted each other, the king walked to the aisle and quickly disappeared through the door.

"I have a bad feeling." Yan Rong said.

"I agree." Lu Ning and Zhu Qinyuan nodded together.

Everything around turned into black and white covered with snowflakes again. It took about ten seconds for the ear-piercing electric current to sound before the scene returned to normal. The furnishings in the research institute have not changed much, but some have moved slightly. Vera Standing next to the coffee machine in Dahiro, without wearing the white coat this time, holding a cup of coffee and trying to cool it down.She looked a little less radiant, and the slight traces of dark circles under her eyes could already be seen, and there were many busy researchers around her at this time.

Lu Ning saw people coming out of the research department pushing the kind of medical beds in the hospital. These people were wearing yellow-green uniforms that were different from ordinary uniforms, and they were tightly wrapped. The cloth was covered with large patches of blood.

[It’s been three years since I visited Vera again.I didn't expect to see such a scene. Did I bring disaster to this peaceful research institute?Am I overestimating Vera's abilities?Perhaps there was a hint of such a thought in my expression, and someone as smart as Vera quickly noticed it and scolded me. 】

There was a hint of a wry smile in the king's voice.At this time, the king at the door came in again, and he greeted Vera, but soon as the narrator said, Vera pointed at the king and said a lot of things loudly, speaking very fast, this time Lu Ning and the three couldn't see what she was cursing at all.

【It was my fault.During the three years, Vera's research institute was extremely efficient in researching, extracting, and reusing all time phenomena. The average solution time was [-] days. When the gratifying research results were continuously delivered to my desk, I just took it for granted that everything was going very well.But I forgot that a proud person like Vera would try to solve whatever she encountered. She never asked for help, so I thought she didn't need any help. 】

While listening to the king's words, Lu Ning approached a person who was transporting a medical bed. She approached that person. She originally wanted to see what was inside with her current state, but unexpectedly, when she and that person had a part After overlapping, suddenly there was a suction force that pulled me into that person's body, and the surrounding scenery instantly became real.She could smell the sweat and blood in the man's mask, and she could hear the conversation between the two over there.

"...We don't need any financial aid and manpower assistance! Are you pitying us? After the results we sent have raised your army's strength by a few steps again?"

"Vera, I just saw a tragedy, and I don't want it to happen again. You never said how many casualties there are."

"Casualties? Who told you there were casualties?" Vera strode over, and Lu Ning felt herself knocked away by her, and then she grabbed the white cloth on the medical bed and pulled it. There were a lot of pieces of meat without bones underneath. But many parts look clearly human.

"Tell me what happened, and what you need to stop it. Life shouldn't be sacrificed like this, Vera, I approve of your results, but the price of this research is too high."

"When you stuffed those weird phenomena, didn't you notice anything, king?" Vera said loudly, "You must understand how dangerous things are, and you can do it without paying anything in the process. Get everything that's on your desk? You really think so?"

"I thought your ingenuity could find a safe way, but it is evidently not," said the King.

"This is indeed a safe method." Vera covered the white cloth back and looked at the king again, "We have carried out multiple classifications on the time phenomena you sent, and we have a complete set of observation methods during the research process. Carefully study each phenomenon and the laws reflected behind it in a way that is most in line with scientific research methods."

"Why is there such a mutilated corpse?"

"Among the recent phenomena sent over, the observation results of 'non-normal observation scatter'. We must grasp some basic properties before we can apply our research methods, and many observers in these phenomena are prone to instant Deadly thing."

"An instant death?"

"Yes, he was scattered the moment he finished the observation log, and only part of it fell back into the world here, so it became like this." Vera pointed to the medical bed, "like this It happens every day.”

"Every day? You have been studying it for three years."

"So everyone here is dying repeatedly." Vera's tone became a little gloomy, "I have to assign a group of people to clean up these corpses. Not everyone can adapt to using the leftovers of people they knew before. The most clean and thorough way to deal with it, and then see him standing in front of you alive tomorrow."

"...Is that how you say it?"

"Everyone in the processing department will perform regular amnestic erasure to reduce psychological pressure. And the dead people will not have that part of memory after using time-series technology to restore. The right reaction is much lighter."

"Sounds like you need some psychological relief," said the king.

"It's useless. I have studied psychology myself. Under the most intuitive stimulation of life and death, ordinary counseling will soon become invalid. We can only wait for them to become numb sooner or later."

The king was silent for a moment, and asked: "How long will such a round... take?"

The person possessed by Lu Ning started to push the medical cart towards the corridor of the processing department.

"Every 30 days on average."

There were only countless white cloths in the corridor of the processing department, like white banners for a funeral. Lu Ning suddenly felt her body disappear, apparently too far away from the central area, she finally got out of it, and hurried back to Daguangjian.

[I told Vera that this project should be terminated, and I would find someone else to share the pressure.But Vera refused. She said that now only her research institute can solve these phenomena, and it is impossible for someone as talented as herself to get used to all this in a short time. Her usual exaggeration and pride deceived me again... She blurred the concept that the reincarnation of life and death in this institute did not include herself. 】

——she will break down?
Lu Ning was shocked.
