Returning from the abyss

Chapter 666 Meet and Say Goodbye - End of the Intermission
[I have received the registration information for promotion from the number █-██-A0MPT7Y information center, the processing is complete, and the information of the included personnel is...completed.

MPT7Y Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi, the above two people have entered the promotion test preparation and obtained authorization...

Complete the authorization.

The process of this upgrade test project is completed, please prepare for this upgrade according to the entry method and instruction details received in your mailbox. 】

Lu Ning lit up her phone and exchanged glances with Ning Yeyi.

"Go to Room 1101 on the [-]th floor of Crane City's large apartment, and a waiter will guide you into the upgrade."

"Go to classroom No. [-] of the Green Garden Learning Center, and a waiter will guide you into the upgrade."

The two read out their locations respectively, and then they both froze for a moment.

"It seems that luck is not very good, at least we are not together... I don't know if we are in the same promotion scene." Ning Yeyi shook his head.

Co-registration will basically be divided into one scene, but there may be exceptions. After all, the allocation of distribution centers is obviously artificially traced, and there is no way to separate people if they insist.

"The type of scene... didn't explain. The level of technology is the second stage of machinery, which is roughly equivalent to the stage of popularization of electronic information technology?" Ning Yeyi continued to watch.

"It's the same here." Lu Ning said, "It should be similar to when I was alive, and it's the environment I'm most familiar with. I didn't say anything about the items to carry, oh, I said that all the items will be allocated after entering the scene, It seems to be the type that brings nothing into the scene."

The two compared each other for a long time. Except for the different locations, the other information was roughly the same, which also left some possibilities that the two were in the same scene but at different locations.

Of course, I still can't analyze any details, and the distribution center rarely gives relevant information.

"Are you excited, Lu Ning?" Ning Yeyi laughed.

"I was almost burned out in the last scene, and I couldn't get excited."

"Chaotic scene, that's true." Ning Yeyi has also heard the stories told by Lu Ning, "Go back and see what you can prepare with your friends. In this era, the possibility of letting go is a little bit small, but There are many other opportunities in a familiar environment.”

"Yeah..." Lu Ning has experienced various scenes of fairy magic in the various scenes of the third level, but now returning to such an ordinary scene has the illusion of "breathing".

However, an ordinary mechanical second-stage technological civilization can be called a test for upgrading... Lu Ning recalled the so-called "Mechanical One" and "Mechanical Three" before, and was a little noncommittal.

The two called their close friends over and shared the information about this upgrade. More than 20 people gathered together, which was a bit lively.It's a pity that this is not like the strategic meeting agreed in advance by the ascenders together, and everyone just raised various possibilities. Now that they haven't even got the specific content of a scene, they can't analyze much useful things. Even Cheng Wu Ling, Watanabe Yuanko and others can only provide some general reference suggestions.

This was actually a farewell party, and everyone knew it.

Lu Ning left the room halfway, intending to go downstairs to order some food and come back, but just as she left the door of the building, a person suddenly rushed out of the bushes next to her.

"Lu Ning! Are you going to be promoted?"

Lu Ning took a closer look, and it turned out to be Mayuri.Since the Four Seasons Garden, she will occasionally see Mayuri. She pesters Lu Ning and wants to play chess, but Lu Ning has never had so much time, and she hasn't studied for so long. How much of her own level is left? understood.

"Yes."

"It's not fair! You have been promoted, and I still want to stay here! I finally found a friend who plays chess, but you have never played chess with me!"

"I have many deficiencies, and I need to make up for my shortcomings as much as possible. Naturally, I have to give up some entertainment activities." Lu Ning explained seriously.

"I must go to apply for promotion to the fourth level to find you! Lu Ning! You wait at the fourth level!" Mayuri turned her head and left angrily. Lu Ning didn't keep her, but Mayuri would not be serious It's not annoying to pester her for a long time, but Lu Ning doesn't know why she considers herself a friend.

There are always many such people in the distribution center. Although the extreme living environment will not drive people crazy, there will always be some mental abnormalities... Lu Ning is not sure if she has similar problems.

She ordered some meals from the waiter at the administration station to be delivered to the room.When he came out, Lu Ning's nerves tensed suddenly - Mo Ningyan was walking along the path to the depths of Gion, and when he heard the voice from here, he glanced here, and the two happened to look at each other.

Then there is silence.

"I think you're here to find me?" Lu Ning asked.

"Yes, Tong Yan asked me to give you something." Mo Ningyan took out a capsule-shaped thing from his coat and threw it over, Lu Ning reached out to catch it.

"why are you?"

"Because I happened to be leaving." Mo Ningyan said flatly, "Going? You are much faster than me."

"I know you'll catch up soon."

"Chasing? I didn't mean to run after you. I met you, and I have an explanation to Karl and myself, so that's fine. My own promotion plan will not be affected by one person, but what do you say? That's right, I won't stay at the third level for a long time, and I won't even stay at the fourth level for too long."

Lu Ning nodded, the atmosphere was slightly awkward.There is really nothing to talk about between the two, not even friends.After Huan Xing, Mo Ningyan never investigated Lu Ning secretly again, and this decisive decision made Lu Ning somewhat unexpected.

"Then, I don't need to go in when the things are delivered, so I'll leave." Mo Ningyan waved her hand casually, turned around and walked away quickly along the way she came.

Lu Ning glanced down at the capsule in her hand. She had a vague impression of this thing. She only needs to turn left three and a half times, and then pull it a little harder to open it. This is a video storage device, so it’s no wonder that Mo Ningyan is here to deliver it. Instead of Tong Yan directly passing it to her - usually this is a one-time confidential communication method.

A beam of light emitted from the opened capsule, and the signal was directly projected on her retina along with the light, and at the same time, the fixed audio was transmitted into the ear along the fingers.

This is a woman with short light-colored hair and a sky-blue officer uniform, but instead of a medal, the uniform is decorated with staves and musical notes.The woman's face was calm, and although it was just a photo, Lu Ning suddenly recalled the appearance of some outstanding generals speaking to the camera when she was alive.

"This video will be delivered to Rose Cross member Lu Ning through the hands of important people. Although the chance of losing it in the hands of others is just in case, if you are not yourself, close the capsule immediately."

The woman spoke, and her voice was actually a very comfortable tone. Lu Ning walked back slowly, continuing to wait for her to speak.After about ten seconds, the woman continued to speak.

"The identity verification has been completed. Lu Ning, I am Li Yin, the head of the sea snake's army."

Lu Ning finally knew who was leading her army, but she also had some impression of Li Yin, who was mentioned by Yan Rong before.

"I heard that you are going to be promoted. Every member of the fourth rank is a core combat power that deserves our attention, and you have received even more special attention. Looking back on your previous experience, we can identify your growth potential, and at the same time, we must pay more attention to you. The clear goal of your return has been fully confirmed." Li Yin said unhurriedly, "The first thing I want to tell you is that when you successfully ascend to the fourth level, the tasks on you will increase, especially as a legion Soldier, your main goal is to fight our enemy, the puppet party, in the scene. This is unavoidable. In order to ensure your survival, at least in this upgrade, we will provide you with a boost —and this is shared by all of you who have been specially selected."

Lu Ning frowned.

"You have completed the application for this promotion, then use the following keywords to make more preparations for this promotion." Li Yin suddenly smiled, which also made the video less serious, "First One: large-scale exploration. The second: chain of events. The third: horror."

Her heart began to beat violently, and Lu Ning almost missed the scene where Li Yin finally said "I wish everything goes well" to Lu Ning. She clenched the capsule tightly and ran back to the room quickly.

The people here are all her trusted friends, and Lu Ning directly announced the three keywords that Li Yin notified to everyone.

"Ah, this is the benefit of a large organization." Watanabe Fuko nodded Tian Gong's shoulder and smiled.

"The Rose Cross is rich and powerful, we can't do it..." Tiangong grimaced.

"So there will be such a good thing when we get promoted?" Zhou Weiyuan had already started to think about it.

"Don't always think about opportunism!" Yan Rong slapped him on the head.

The atmosphere is undoubtedly much happier, at least the farewell atmosphere just now has really turned into celebration and discussion, which is natural. For this group of people, the success rate of promotion that can be increased by a few keywords is not 01 :30 o'clock.

"Actually, I already understand it very well." Cheng Wuling pulled down a simple projection drawing device on the wall, wrote three key words on it, and drew an arrow, "The previous information was too vague to confirm, plus These three key words are mostly horror stories that happened in modern times."

Ning Yeyi nodded: "So it seems that the chances of me and Lu Ning being in the same scene are a little higher?"

"Because there is the key word chain of events." Zhao Xihua said, "Even if the two of you landed in different positions, you may be at different links in the chain. If this test is that each person encounters different horrific events, the difference between these events will be different." If they are connected by some causal relationship, it is very consistent."

"But don't forget to search in a large area." Cheng Yurun folded his arms, "This shows two things. First, you must start exploring. Since it is a keyword, it is unavoidable, and the risk associated with exploration is very high. Second, This time, both the time span and the space span are very long, so be mentally prepared."

"We've probably heard quite a few horror stories about modern times." Shang Wenxue grinned, "What do you think is the most likely form this time?"

Everyone looked at each other, obviously each had an answer.

"Lu Ning, let's talk about you as the person involved. We think...you are the most accurate judge of yourself." Fujii Xueyin said.

"There is a type... Actually, I haven't experienced it for a long time. It's better to say that the only experience really impressed me." Lu Ning smacked her lips. The various supernatural powers she has experienced so far can be regarded as too many. She has gone through all kinds of things, even the hodgepodge of chaotic scenes, and her vision and experience are completely different from the original her.

"...It's supernatural." After she said it, she looked around, and most people really had the same idea.

"Even if not all of them, I think most of them will fall into this type~" Zhou Weiyuan sighed.

Shu Xingruo patted the center of his eyebrows: "It would be really bad if it is really related to supernatural powers. The important thing is not the guts, but the fact that this kind of scene doesn't make sense at all."

Yes, Lu Ning has read the records of those supernatural scenes. The ghosts in them are really elusive. The only scene she has experienced is the first scene. The distribution center restricts various killing methods, killing quotas, and killing methods. Ghosts with other conditions, but in the real test field... ghosts don't have these external constraints at all.

"It's okay, this is exactly what I... want." She laughed instead.

As the time approached, Lu Ning took the elevator to the eleventh floor of the Crane City Apartment. At the elevator entrance, there was a waiter with a thick ancient book on his head waiting there.

"Miss Lu Ning, please follow me." The waiter made a voice like a learned old man, and politely asked Lu Ning to follow him to Room 1101.

Every room in this apartment is enough for a family to use for normal living and living. The interior decoration is very luxurious, and this room has obviously been tidied up, and has been completely arranged to look like a home, rather than an empty room.

"As you can see, this will be the place where you enter the scene. We have completely reproduced the place where you enter the scene to ensure that you will not feel uncomfortable."

So at the fourth level, do you even have to consider these things?Before, it was very simple to use the environment to switch scenes.

"Before I officially unveil the scene for you, do you have any questions? After I announce the information of this scene, you will have no chance to ask again." The waiter carefully reminded.

"Go ahead, I'm ready."

Hearing this, the waiter wiped the pages of the book on his head with his fingers, and with the sound of flipping the book, the waiter began to announce:

【Dear Miss Lu Ning,

At this moment, you will be invited to enter the world of the promotion scene "Calamity Solitaire".

In this world, you will have a completely different appearance and identity. Any information related to yourself will be shielded and warned. out of the scene.This is the major premise rule - of course, you can use this rule to escape the scene, failing this rule will only make the score zero, not negative points.

Next, the background and tasks of this upgrade scenario will be explained. 】
