Returning from the abyss

Chapter 72 The Second Generation Servant

Many days ago, the evening when Lu Ning arrived in Danma.

In the flying saucer under Tosu Lake, in a dark room, Pei Xuan stood in front of the three training warehouses, waiting for his teammates this time.

"Son of Shadow...it's time to wake up."

Under this low-pitched chanting, the three cultivation chambers were all opened, and a dark green liquid flowed out, revealing the human body inside.Pei Xuan took a glance. The darkness did not hinder his already inhuman vision, and he quickly recognized two men and one woman.After confirming his teammates, he grabbed three bathrobes and threw them on the three of them.

"Uh……"

The strong man on the far left let out a breath, which immediately caused a severe cough. A large amount of serous fluid was coughed out from his mouth and nose, and the air was then poured into his lungs.

The other two got better. Although they were also coughing, they didn't make themselves so embarrassed, and they were able to speak soon.

"here it is……"

"I think you all know the mission this time. We are the 'Guardian' camp, and my name is Pei Xuan." Pei Xuan opened his arms, then realized that they might not be able to see them, and put them down in embarrassment.

"Are you the Son of Heaven?"

Calm female voice.

"Huh? You know? Is it in the information? But how did I..."

"I heard your voice waking us up, which means we are the children of shadows. From the information I got, we can see that the children of shadows are of a high level, and those who are qualified to come here to wake us up are the children of heaven..."

Pei Xuan immediately clapped his hands happily.

"That's great, at least you're not stupid, are you?"

"What do you mean?" Another man asked warily.

"It's very simple. Although I am a bit taller in status, to be honest, I am not the type who is good at using brains. This time, several people who applied for the task together failed to enter the same testing field. I am worried..."

"So you want us to come up with a plan?"

"No, I want to be the shopkeeper directly." Pei Xuan replied with a smile, "All the authority I have is handed over to you, I just need to complete my own tasks and secrets..."

Having said that, his tone suddenly sank.

"However, although I don't mind giving up power, I will not accept that I am counted in it. You must know that the Son of Heaven is the 'vessel' for the resurrection of the protoss, which means that I may die. Absolutely not going to take it—understand?"

"Before confirming the resources we have..." The man wanted to speak, but was interrupted by a female voice.

"Yes, we have full authority to deal with this confrontation and guarantee the safety of the four of us. You don't need to think about anything, just do what you like. But as a plan, after the silent plan starts, before the resurrection of the protoss , I want you to have three chances to do it, and it is possible to target anyone other than the four of us."

Pei Xuan thought for a second before agreeing.

"Then, I hope we have a happy cooperation this time. I am Cheng Wuling."

"Kons."

"Wang Zongxiang."

Thus, a temporary covenant was established.

Back to the night of July 23rd.

Lu Ning and his group of five walked to the big room with trepidation, without any accidents along the way.This smoothness was unbelievable, but this large room was also pitch black, and it seemed that it had stopped working long ago.

"these are……"

With the light of the flashlight, everyone immediately found the blocks on the wall that were cut out like screens. Nothing is displayed now. There are hundreds of such screens on the walls of the entire room, and there are four sofas in the center of the room. The shape of the seat, if you look closely, you can see a needle-like device protruding from the armrest and the area behind the back of the head. No matter how you look at it, it feels a little scary.

"Hey, isn't this the monitoring room?"

"monitor……"

Shi Yi knocked on the sofa, but he didn't respond, but he didn't dare to sit on it and try it. The needle is aimed directly at the back of the head, so it would be wrong if he got stabbed to death?
The whole room was empty except for these things, and several people had to turn on the flashlights and look around to try to find something special. This time, the lucky one was Shi Yi. When he turned his head, he saw the only wall without a screen — namely It was the wall where the door they came in--a picture was found on it.

The painting depicts a fourteen or fifteen-year-old Asian boy. The background is in the forest. The boy is crying, and his hands are moved away from his face as if he has just wiped his tears. Because the painting style is not realistic, it looks a little bit Kind of funny.

But for some reason, Shi Yi felt that the boy was crying very sadly, as if some important person had left, or was abandoned there.

"Shi Yi! What's wrong with you?"

Luo Lin's loud cry startled Shi Yi.But after being so surprised, he suddenly realized that he had burst into tears at some point, and the uncomfortable feeling in his heart became more and more serious.

"Why are you crying? What did you see?" Shu Xingruo also walked over, took a look around, and immediately found the painting on the wall.

"It's just... a bit uncomfortable, I don't know how long I can go, but I still have to persevere... I, I am not a particularly perseverant person, and I really can't support it until now... But I don't want to die... "

When someone said it, Shi Yi actually started to sob.

"Hey, it's not enough, we at least still..."

Just as Luo Lin was about to persuade him, he suddenly heard another sob.

"I obviously didn't hinder anyone, why must I die..."

Shu Xingruo reached out to wipe away the tears on his face, but he was still crying.

"It's the enemy! Be careful! Don't search around! Use your hearing to check!" Lu Ning yelled sharply, but she was a little late, and Luo Lin, who was closer, had already spotted the hanging painting with a flashlight.

There was a third crying person in the room.

"The lethality of the second-generation servants is far less than that brought by the flying saucer. The time is too short for me to fully understand the other party's biotechnology. Fortunately, something has been produced."

Cheng Wuling glanced at the map on the screen and nodded slightly.

"Now they should be in the monitoring room, unfortunately after the 'Astrologer' was eliminated there is no longer usable, only the 'crybaby' is left there."

"Tsk, this name sounds very funny."

Pei Xuan gritted his teeth and bit down a piece of jerky, showing a smirk: "But since you put it there, it must be enough for them, right?"

"Although the 'crybaby' has no direct lethality, anyone who sees it will cause sadness and pain in their hearts. Immersed in such emotions, they will ignore the changes in the surrounding environment, and their senses will become dull. Even if the portrait is destroyed, it can’t be removed...it’s a trouble.”

"Isn't this amazing?"

Although Pei Xuan doesn't like to use his brain very much, he is very strong in terms of combat literacy. He can easily come up with suitable usages of various types of attack methods, and of course he will not ignore those abilities that do not hurt.

"People with a strong enough heart will not be affected too much. After all, overcoming grief is a human ability." Cheng Wuling replied noncommittally, "But in this way, the 'Ice Ghost' can move."

Inside the flying saucer, the three of them finally managed to stop crying amidst Lu Ning and Sun Mozhu frantically persuading them, but the naked eye could see that their emotions were gradually sinking, and their previous positivity had completely disappeared.

"That thing on the wall..."

Just now, Sun Mozhu had the courage to take photos on the wall a little bit, and immediately turned off the flashlight when he saw a corner of the picture frame, but it was not affected, and then told Lu Ning.However, Lu Ning had nothing to do about it. Although the painting was covered up with a magic array, the situation of the three people did not improve at all.

"Let's leave, there is nothing valuable in this place, and the weird painting is even more of a trap. This is the bait thrown by Cheng Wuling...Ah Choo!"

Lu Ning shivered, hugged her arms tightly, and said to Sun Mozhu, "Don't you think it's getting colder here? The water on our bodies hasn't dried up since we came in, and the temperature here is a little too low."

"My resistance to temperature changes is not bad. When I climbed the snow-capped mountains before, I was fine in hiding in a snow cave all night in order to avoid being chased by monsters." Sun Mozhu looked at the three people who were immersed in grief, and stretched out his hand to pull slightly. I took off the diving suit and found that it was indeed still wet.

"That's not right. The diving suit is not made of hydrophilic material. Even if you haven't done it here, it shouldn't be like this. It's the same as just getting out of the water... Wait."

Sun Mozhu pulled up his long hair, twisted it slightly, and a few drops of water dripped from the end.

"It's so humid here!"

"And...it's so cold..."

Lu Ning was already shivering. Originally, the diving equipment was not warm clothes, and it was even more uncomfortable in such a wet and cold environment.Although Shu Xingruo and Shi Yi didn't say anything, their bodies were already shaking, and they squatted down and curled up subconsciously.

"There are other enemies... to lower the temperature... By the way... Shi Yi... It should be, Ah Choo!"

Before Lu Ning could finish speaking, Sun Mozhu ran to Shi Yi's side. When the uncle came, he took a bunch of pieces of equipment, which should also include a thermometer!
Soon she took out the thermometer from Shi Yi's side pocket, and frowned when she saw it.

"Eleven degrees Celsius."

Lu Ning shuddered just hearing the temperature.Even if her disease is removed, her physical condition is at the level of an ordinary person, and the cooling in such a humid environment is rapidly depriving her of her body temperature.

Just as the temperature continued to drop, she suddenly saw a red light passing by the passage outside the door.

"It's outside, outside!"

Lu Ning said this with trembling teeth, and stretched out her hand to pull Sun Mozhu. She could already feel the smell of water in her breath, and if she continued like this, she would definitely die!

Fortunately, Sun Mozhu didn't disappoint her. Hearing Lu Ning's words, he rushed to the door, ran to the passage, turned on the flashlight and immediately took a picture around.

"I didn't see it, Lu Ning, did you..."

"what!!"

There was an exclamation from behind, and when Sun Mozhu turned his head again, Lu Ning was no longer in the room.At the same time, a pair of icy "hands" touched her neck.
