Returning from the abyss

Chapter 651
Lu Ning walked through [-] different rooms in total. Although the things encountered inside and the decoration styles and shapes of the rooms were all different, she could find some common points from the photos.

The movements of the praying figures that appeared in the prayer room at the beginning are very similar to the audience watching a movie in the sixth room.

The weapons on the weapon rack in the second room also appear on the murals in the No.12 room.

The symbols on the kitchen utensils used by the Demon Chef are used as the blood-painted symbols on the altar in a later room.

There are many similar points, they are just extra decorations in the room, but the more you observe carefully, the more connections you can find.Lu Ning quickly built a relationship network, which encloses all the previous [-] rooms, and can be connected to another room at most two rooms apart.

"Sure enough, this looks a lot like..."

"Memory Web."

Another voice sounded in the room, Lu Ning shuddered all over, followed the direction of the voice and looked up, there were many stone carvings and paintings embedded in the ceiling, and the one who spoke just now was one of the faces.

"You—" Lu Ning frowned. This face was carved out, but according to the appearance of the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose, she could tell that it was the appearance of Tadiyev, the inventor of the memory network.

"What you draw is the prototype of the memory network." The human face continued, "I can see it. Of course, the real memory network is infinitely more complicated than it, but the most basic principle is just like this."

"Are you Tadiyev?" Lu Ning asked directly.

"Tip 14023, I am not Tadiyev, but a memory copy."

"Whether you are or not, at least you can talk, right? What the hell is going on here? Why is the prison in the deep palace the way it is now?"

"Unfortunately, I can't answer." Human Face said, "I'm just here for backup, and I haven't communicated with the external network."

"That is to say, there is an internal network?" Lu Ning immediately caught the meaning of this sentence, "Can you monitor the situation in the entire space?"

"No." The human face continued to deny, "There are fatal threats in most areas here, and even the end of the memory network cannot last for a long time. The only place that can maintain its existence is the rest area."

It seems to refer to a place similar to here.Lu Ning thought for a while, then asked, "How far is the distance between the rest areas?"

"It's just about memory." The human face replied, "When you excavate more memories, you can get closer to the next rest. As you dig deeper, you will master this memory palace more and more. "

"That is to say, as long as you continue to move forward, you can finally master this prison?"

"This is what is recorded in my memory."

Lu Ning thought for a moment: "Then how should I get rid of the condition on my body?"

"If you encounter anything, please think carefully."

Saying it is the same as not saying it.

It seems that this tip can give me only so much information, if I want to unravel the mystery of the deep palace prison, I have to continue to go inside.Feeling that she had almost rested, Lu Ning walked towards one of the doors and continued her exploration.

This time she paid more attention to the details in each room, and this time the room she entered was a bakery. Two bakers in white clothes were carrying her on their backs and working in front of the chopping board. There was a little noise, and one of them turned his head away.

It's really "twisted" too much, and the body doesn't move, and the baker's head is actually a dough, with two dried fruits embedded in the eyes, and the mouth seems to have a crack.

"Welcome~ Come~" The dough man made a dry voice, and kept moving his hands. After kneading a piece of dough, he grabbed another piece from his arm and started kneading again.Rao Lu Ning has seen countless bizarre things, but she still feels a little confused at this moment.

"White bread, brown bread, or fruit bread?" asked the baker.

"...Can I have a copy?" Lu Ning looked at this not-so-big room and answered.

"One of each of the three types of bread!"

As the baker yelled, the one next to him who was still busy immediately stopped his work, took off his chef's hat, picked up a cutting knife next to him, and cut off his own head. The piece fell straight off, with red jam squeezed out of it.Then there was a second cut, severed at the elbow, and the doughy hand landed on the table.In the end, the baker stretched his arm into the blazing oven next to him, and soon a smell of burnt came out. He pulled out the blackened arm and cut it off with one knife.The first baker stacked the three parts neatly on the baking tray and sent them into the oven: "Please wait~"

The corners of Lu Ning's mouth twitched. She had already found what she was looking for. The smoked stains on the bakery's oven were the same as those of the children's graffiti I had seen before, but this method of making bread was really unheard of .The dough man who lost his arms and half of his head just nodded to Lu Ning, and walked towards the door on the back side of a sales counter. At the same time, another new dough man walked out from the opposite door.

That is to say, after baking for about 3 minutes, the three portions of bread were put into paper bags and handed to Lu Ning without asking for money.Lu Ning only received a thank you, and walked into the next room with three paper bags.

This time it was a dark alley.Lu Ning saw that the exit was across the alley, but three people were pressing a boy against the wall to search for his belongings, and they were still cursing.Since the alleys are inherently narrow, it is impossible to get through such a blocked road.

At this moment, a flower pot fell from above, knocking out a person who was searching for things on the spot, and the other two were also startled, letting go of the boy and taking out a folding knife from his pocket.Unexpectedly, the young man was also vicious. As soon as the pressure on his back was released, he immediately grabbed a person's wrist and slammed it hard. When the other person let go in pain, he grabbed the folding knife.

At the same time, another person jumped from the height and kicked the last person in the face, kicking him to the other wall.Then he pulled up the boy and rushed towards Lu Ning.

Lu Ning was stunned when she saw the appearance of the two. The rescuer was a young girl with a lively and mischievous expression on her face. Seeing Lu Ning, she just waved her hand vigorously: "Run! Don't get involved!"

"Let me put them down!" The boy tried to struggle, but it wasn't too hard for the girl to catch him.

"You stupid, how could I let you become a murderer for these rubbish?"

The two ran past Lu Ning and disappeared behind her, while the robbers chased after waking up their companions.

"Hey! Did you see where those two brats went?"

The first person yelled immediately when he saw Lu Ning, but before the second sentence came out, a gun was pointed at his forehead and he dared not speak out.

"Turn around, go back, and show me the way." Lu Ning ordered concisely.

The three of them did not dare to disobey at all, turned around politely and led the way.

Lu Ning began to feel a little suspicious in her heart. The two young men and women she saw just now, the appearance of the young is difficult to identify, but the young girl can basically be Dorothy, just a little younger.She remembered that Dorothy said that she and Dansheng had encountered a big incident, and the relationship between the two was usually closer.

"Who were those two just now?" Lu Ning asked.

"They're all kids from our neighborhood, hehe, isn't it because they're going to school so they should have some money..." A person quickly replied.

"Do you know the name?"

"I know! That kid's name is Dan Sheng. He has a very violent temper, but he's a tough one. Look, my brother's hand was bitten... The girl is Dorothy, and he's a neighbor. She also likes to be mischievous. I don't know." Whose family will my daughter cultivate this appearance..."

"Stop talking so much nonsense." Lu Ning said coldly.

"Yes Yes……"

The alley was not very long. When she reached the end, Lu Ning stopped three people and handed them the paper bags in her hand: "One for each."

"How embarrassing, it's our honor to lead you the way..." The man was even more polite.

"In front of me, eat."

The three of them immediately felt bitter. This kind of dawdling is also a little clever. Why didn't they know that Lu Ning said something like this because there was something wrong with the things in the bag?But looking at the pistols, they really didn't dare to disobey, so they could only open the paper bag, take out the bread inside and start eating.

"Tell me, how does it feel?"

"Hey... Hey?" The man who ate the fruit bread suddenly grinned strangely, then put his hands on his temples, and began to speak sleepily, unable to understand what he was talking about.The one who ate the black bread tore his upper body clothes into pieces, and began to scratch bloodstains on his body.The last one who ate white bread was quiet, but he kept taking bread out of the paper bag and stuffing it into his mouth, while his body was getting fatter and fatter as if he was inflated.

"Three death options." Lu Ning muttered, bypassing the three of them and walking into the exit of the alley.

The air suddenly became scorching hot, even hotter than the bakery just now.This is a burning building, with flames constantly falling from the sky, and the burning beams also look precarious, and in such a raging fire, there is a person standing and a person kneeling.

The person standing is an old man with one arm, holding a painting halberd in his hand, the flames parted behind his back, half-covering a door.And the half-kneeling one was a man in armor, the cloak on his back was covered with scorching sparks, facing the old man with a silver gun in one hand.

"Father can go first, Rong will end later. Rebellious ministers and thieves will eventually be punished!"

The old man just let out a long sigh.

"Dazhi is dying, the king has ambition but no talent, the minister wants to change but drowns in power, internal worries are incomprehensible, external disasters are eliminated, and the world is in chaos. It begins with disasters and epidemics. Why is there no sign? The use of bravery is only a temporary solution. At this moment, the monarchs and ministers are leaving the capital, and the rebel army has entered the capital, and if you fight to the death without retreating, you will lose your life."

"However, if you don't look for people, the rebellious army will find no trace of them, so they must look for them urgently. The king's horses and chariots are not as fast as an army, and it is difficult to hide their tracks. If I take an army to look for it, I will definitely find it within half a day."

"That's the ability of my Yan family child, and it's something very human." The old man smiled when he said this.

"Therefore, it must be..."

"However, as soon as the emperor, king, general, and prime minister retreated, there was no room left. Why did I, Lieyang of the Yan family, pay for the lives of my entire family to feed the rebel wolves? How could the sun be rising due to a little cloud and mist? Go to glory?" The old man's expression turned angry again in an instant, "Loyalty to the emperor is the foundation of a minister, and protecting the family is the responsibility of the head of the family!"

"Father……"

"You and your relatives will leave first, and you will do this for your father to be loyal to the emperor. But please remember, this time we leave without saying goodbye, and we have fulfilled the righteousness of the emperor and ministers. From now on, the rise and fall of the Sheng Dynasty will have nothing to do with me, the Yan family!"

After the old man finished speaking, he chopped the halberd and forcibly suppressed the flames behind him. At the same time, a rain of fire fell from above Lu Ning's head. The flames engulfed her vision, but the burning sensation was decreasing.

"How cunning."

After the golden flame oscillated, some fragmented sparks landed in Yan Rong's palm. She looked at the person who was bound by chains on the dark throne in front of her and held a crystal box in her arms with a smile on her face.

"Is this what you need? Squeeze out all the memories from a person's mind like squeezing juice, and then turn them into a part of this endless prison of memory?" Yan Rong grasped it casually, and those golden flames reappeared Melted into her body, "Can I sue you for copyright infringement?"

"The prison in the deep palace...is such a place." The man on the throne laughed softly, "What do you think I can do? I am just bound here, and I don't know when I will see the light of day." It’s just a ghost. The deeper people go in the memory, the more they will open their hearts to the memory, the behavior, the way of speaking, the skills they have mastered, all of which come from the experiences in the memory. Of course the place will start plundering unscrupulously..."

"I'm afraid those prisoners back then were treated like this already?"

"Hmph... Except for me, no one here can finally maintain their sanity. Of course, some lucky ones will find a way out, but who knows if these people are the bait deliberately released by the prison to lure new people in? Are you The few people who can see me, but unfortunately seeing me can only be regarded as discovering a hidden event here, I can't help you at all, and I can't show you the exit."

"Mr. Witness, I don't need your advice." Yan Rong shook his head.

The man on the throne finally raised his head.

"It looks like you have seen others."

"It seems that you know more than the other witness." Yan Rong smiled, "Do you want to exchange information? I don't want to try to convince you. People say that my speaking skills are poor."

"Hehehe... Maybe the opportunity has indeed come." The man laughed lowly, "The name I was given is the Witness of the Crown Ceremony, the rising sun, where did you come from?"

"My name is Yan Rong, why don't we talk about why you have the concept of astral rising?" Yan Rong immediately asked.
