Returning from the abyss

Chapter 670 Planning a Trip
After Lu Ning returned home, she checked the information about Secret City. As Solitaire said, Secret City is an area with many local secrets.Most of the residents in that block are mainly farming, and they have lived there for a long time from generation to generation.A high-lying mountain range around Micheng is almost the cemetery of every household here, and all the stories related to this place are all strange stories about the barren mountains and wild mountains.

Having said that, Lu Ning doesn't plan to go there by herself.Just like what Lu Jiangyang said before, even if you want to investigate her, you are going to try to avoid the places where you are mentioned in Solitaire.Others may just think it is unlucky, but Lu Ning knows that most of the things in the story will come true.

Then she looked through the posts she posted on the forum at 03:30 before she went out. She had already built more than 100 buildings, and one of them even claimed that she was the person who had experienced this incident back then, but was quickly dismissed. Some skeptical voices took the topic off topic.

Lu Ning thought for a while, and sent a message to that person in a private message.

[Hello, I am interested in what happened that year, I wonder if I can ask you for details.I will arrive at Qingshuvine in a few days, and I hope to have the opportunity to ask you about it. 】

After sending the message, she began to sort out the things she bought, and after about 10 minutes, she was prompted to reply.

[I advise you not to try to investigate these, the truth and falsehood on the forum are mostly fake news.But what I have experienced is a real thing, and no matter what, people cannot take the initiative to come into contact with such things. 】

Lu Ning thought for a while and replied:
【I've been entangled and can't get out, so I'm looking for a solution.I don't believe in the propaganda about exorcising spirits on the Internet, I just want to solve it with my own hands and verify it with my own eyes. 】

And this time the information came back quickly.

[After you come to Qingshuteng, go to No. 103 Shudong Trail, there is a second-hand goods store on the first floor, find me. 】

【thank you. 】

After confirming this matter, Lu Ning sent a message to Teng Xuan and agreed on a meeting place tomorrow.She bought a lot of things, and it would be no problem to equip two people. She just waited for the drone to be delivered in the afternoon.When she was free, Lu Ning sat in front of the computer, and checked the local news about Qingshuteng with her mobile phone and computer.

It is also a small town around Gengwu City, but the development of Qingshuteng is not as smooth as that of Huilongbao.At first, because of the discovery of ore veins, some mining companies were attracted there, which drove economic development.However, it was later discovered that the mineral resources there were actually not particularly rich, and it was almost worthless after the main vein was mined.During this period, the transformation of Qingshuteng failed, and after the withdrawal of those mining companies, it ushered in a long period of decline. It was not until some handicraft factories were built in recent years that it got better.

If in Huilongbao, street gangsters like Teng Xuan still need to be careful, then the green trees and vines can be seen almost everywhere. There is not even a larger commercial street. It is basically the world of small traders and self-employed people. The local snake forces formed are intertwined and difficult to manage.

Fortunately, with the development of the Internet today, Qingshuteng is not unable to disclose any news because of this.Whether it is official or private, you can always see some descriptions from different sources. Lu Ning also found the location of the tree hole path through satellite maps. There was originally a row of tube buildings, but the first and second floors were artificially stamped out. There are many buildings protruding from the house itself, and the messy wires are almost woven into a net in the air.

"Nearly an hour's drive..." Lu Ning chose a guest house and hotel, trying to ensure her own safety.With the fighting skills that Lu Ning has mastered now, it is no problem to fight an adult, but Li Wenyue's physical fitness is still not suitable for fighting at all.

At about four o'clock, someone delivered the drone to the door.Lu Ning checked it and signed it. At this moment, the delivery man suddenly asked, "Girl, upstairs... who lives in your house?"

"I don't know, neighbors don't communicate with each other."

"Oh... yes, yes." The delivery man's expression was a little awkward, and he hesitated to speak.Seeing this, Lu Ning quickly signed the receipt and asked, "What happened upstairs?"

The delivery man hurriedly waved his hand: "It's nothing, I just saw that the mailboxes in 801 downstairs are full, and I feel that I should remind me anyway. It's fine if I don't know each other. Maybe it's... going on a trip."

Looking at his appearance, Lu Ning knew that he must not be telling the truth.And at this moment, there was a somewhat dull "crash" sound above his head, as if someone accidentally dropped the keychain on the ground, followed by a slight sound of picking it up.

"It looks like I'm at home, and I seem to be going out, why don't you wait for a while and remind me?" Lu Ning said.

"Ah... since someone should be aware of it, haha, I don't want to be annoying. Thank you, I took the receipt." The deliveryman almost snatched it from Lu Ning's hand. After snatching the receipt, he hurried downstairs, when the sound of the door being opened came from upstairs.Lu Ning frowned slightly, closed the door casually, and looked out through the cat's eyes to see the scene outside the corridor.

The people upstairs went downstairs with slight footsteps.It was a slender woman, so thin that she felt a little malnourished, wearing a black mask, and there were deep wrinkles around her eyes.She was wearing a black overcoat, with her hands in her pockets, and the collar was slightly raised to block her neck.

The woman didn't notice Lu Ning's peeping, and continued downstairs after passing this floor.But on the eighth floor, why not take the elevator but the stairs?Lu Ning just came back, so she can be sure that the elevator is not broken.

She left the door, and out of prudence, she still planned to search for what stories were circulating back to Longbao—the deliveryman's behavior obviously encountered something wrong.

Ning Yeyi came out of a milk tea shop, holding a cup of steaming milk tea in his hand, but his expression was not so happy.She took out her mobile phone and made a call. After the call was connected, she was conveniently reported to her about some investigations. After the report was completed, Ning Yeyi nodded: "Okay, I will go back to the school library to find that paragraph. The time newspaper and the news around Gengwu City should be involved, but I don’t know if it has been converted into an electronic version. The investigation of Secret City will be held tomorrow. If there are really ghosts there, there should be some corresponding ones. The master of ghosts is here."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone, took out a map of the surrounding area of ​​Gengwu City from her pocket, and unfolded it. She slid her fingers over several locations, her eyes serious.

This scene is just as she expected, with a lot of freedom and scope, but the degree of difficulty and danger has also increased.Not to mention that the last optional mission is actually an unimaginable mission like "survival", even the ordinary missions ahead are full of doubts.

She took a taxi and returned to Gengwu University.

When the university was established in Gengwu City, it was indeed with the intention of running a good school. Teachers, which are difficult to compete for, are something that cannot be helped, but the library has well-stocked a wealth of collections.Even if there are no original copies of newspapers from decades ago, some photocopies have been collected here, and they are very clear.

"Time to solve the puzzle~" Ning Yeyi was very interested in this. She liked this kind of mystery game, but now she only hoped that the mystery in this scene was enough to make people enjoy themselves.

[Tingyuqiaoyi]: No matter who is the third best, I hope the story can be closed a little bit. If everyone writes differently, it is not Solitaire, but each writes their own.

Chatting started again in the group. Since the second segment of Solitaire was released later at noon, it has been four hours and the third segment has not yet come out, so some people chatted in the group.

[Cockroach Breaking Through the Sky]: By the way, President, if our stall is too big, how will we finish it?When a group of people dig a hole, who will fill it?
[President Squatting at Home]: I think it will enter the final stage when it is almost done, and I will notify you. At that time, everyone should stop digging holes and try to make up for the previous things as much as possible.Anyway, don’t supernatural stories need a lot of logic? At worst, writing a few people to death and turning them into a headless unsolved case is also a way to end it.

[Rugby]: Isn't that too much to deal with?
[President Squatting at Home]: Let's play, if anyone thinks it can have a perfect ending, I don't object.

[Tingyu Bridge Station]: I can try it.

Ning Yeyi did not participate in the discussion, but just watched the news that occasionally popped up in the group.The real name of Tingyuqiaoyi is Yan Zidan, a sophomore with a bit of a literary girlish temperament. The reason she joined the Folklore Club is that the Literature Club of Gengwu University has no literary atmosphere at all, and it is not as relaxed as here.But if you get to know her well, you can know that she is a very open-minded person besides being serious, and it doesn't matter to joke with her except for important things.

She looked from both sides, turning the pages of the newspaper still very fast.Some possible records about Micheng were taken by her with her mobile phone one by one, and she can check further with those ghost stories in the app later.

Soon, the sky gradually turned dark.

After the university holidays, there will still be some students and teachers staying on campus until the year before, so many facilities are still working.But even so, the campus at night seemed a bit deserted and gloomy. Ning Yeyi didn't plan to stay here any longer. Taking advantage of the sun still remaining in the sky, he quickly left the library and headed towards the hotel—everyone in the dormitory had left. She didn't want to go back to the dormitory either.

Lu Ning was lying on the bed at around ten o'clock in the evening, and there was no prompt tone from the third section of Solitaire on the phone. It seems that this time took a lot of time. If the deadline is around one o'clock in the morning based on twelve hours, she I have to go to Qingshuvine tomorrow, it is impossible to wait.

"It's not me anyway." She mumbled, set the alarm clock function on her phone, and fell asleep.

At night she had a very strange dream.She was walking on a boulevard that seemed to be in the campus, but this road was very long, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves, which would make a crackling sound when stepped on.The sky was dark, without any twinkling stars.

There was someone ahead—though he couldn't see it, he felt it.

Lu Ning continued to move forward, the more she walked, the more uneasy she felt. Finally, she could gradually see the figure in front of her, not one, but many figures, wearing a black coat and a black top hat, moving forward quietly Walking, like a silent funeral procession.

She could even hear her heart beating violently.Those people suddenly quickened their pace, and only the last one who was not wearing a hat stopped.

"Don't chase any more."

The hoarse female voice was as unpleasant as if it had been smoked. The woman I saw in the corridor was still wearing a mask, but her eyes were full of pity and regret.

"Let me see... let me see their faces!"

"If you're gone, you won't stay. You're not here, until the day you come, you won't see each other again." The woman shook her head lightly, "You still have a distance from death... go back, Turn around, kid."

Lu Ning turned her head unconsciously—at that moment, the trees on both sides of the road had been turned into gallows, each with a dangling corpse hanging from it.Their faces have been weathered like skeletons, and their clothes are nothing but rags.Lu Ning turned her head hastily, this slightly larger movement moved her footsteps, only then did she see that what she was stepping on were also decayed bones.

She opened her eyes suddenly, this weird dream made her sweat in the middle of the night.It's not scary - such a scene has long since frightened her, it's just that having such a dream in the scene always gives people a kind of ominous omen.

After lying on the bed to stabilize her heartbeat, Lu Ning reached out to grab her phone and took a look. It was already past six in the morning, but it wasn't time to set the alarm.She turned over and saw that the third story in Mini Solitaire had been uploaded. This time, the author of the story was [I am a brother], who was twins with the very active person in the group [I am a sister]. Saying that he is bigger, even the nickname in the group has to fight for this.

However, after Lu Ning found out that the next one was not coming to Solitaire by herself, she planned to wait until the road to see it.She took another shower and glanced at the 03:30 news while drying her hair. Today's updates arrived as scheduled, a total of five.

【The Hair Witch of the Sewer】

【Record of Ghost Car in Secret City】

[The third day of filming and tracking of rotting limbs in Kaiyuan County]

[Exploring the Haunted House in Jipingling——there really are ghosts! 】

[On the first day of Lukou Baili, someday Duan Geng will call the police for me]

This group of people is also really courageous. This APP can’t just publish the name of the entire headline party. At least there is a rigid rule that it must be accompanied by pictures.Except for the address not mentioned in the first news, the other four are all small counties around Gengwu City.

As the latest reference material, Lu Ning clicked on it.

Unexpectedly, the first sewer hair witch turned out to be a story in Gengwu City.
