Returning from the abyss

Chapter 721 Friend From The Story

Qian Yipeng's idea plus modification, and the final uploaded version is also a product of compromise.Obviously the ghost president would not let these people go easily, so the previous version stuffed with too many private goods was naturally returned, and the current version was finally uploaded after three rewrites.

"Now it seems that there is no need for a scary atmosphere. To put it another way, we have entered the stage of advancing the various branches. After all, the detective must appear at the right time, and the story cannot be so unsolvable." After many discussions, Wang Zhongnan was not very afraid. "We can even let me come in later to deal with this problem, anyway, the detective's restrictions are more relaxed."

"I'm afraid we can't rely on detectives to rescue us in reality. What we put in is the setting, but the setting will be different from what happened, and the things in the story will be taken apart and formed in another way." Lu Ning said.

"So why do you insist on giving the head nurse a name and asking her to lead Yang Cai?" Chen Hang asked.

"For a hidden setting." Lu Ning walked to the door and opened it. Everyone was shocked. Yan Zidan and Qian Yipeng immediately chased them out, looking at Lu Ning cautiously.

"No problem, the taboo on the wall has changed, now you can talk, oh, you can't run, you can't turn on the lights, and you can't throw things around. It's easier."

Lu Ning shook her phone: "We have to be more cautious in our actions in the future. If this happened before, we might all die here."

"What are you doing here?" Qian Yipeng asked.

"Well... Giving a character a name also means constructing the character's past, present, and maybe even the future. A person's experience will be different, so this is just an attempt... Everyone, if it's not just a story where are we?"

"What? You want to say..."

"What you see is what you know, and what you know is what you see. Although I don't believe in idealism, it might be useful for occasional use." Lu Ning had already walked to the door of 1004, raised her hand and pressed the doorbell.

After a while, a vigilant "Who?" came from inside

"Miss Xin Mi, if you are willing to trust us...how about joining hands with us to escape from here?" Lu Ning said.

Qian Yipeng and Yan Zidan looked at each other.

After a period of silence in the house, the door was opened, but the chain was still hanging on the door.There was no light in the room, but luckily I could barely see clearly.

"Who are you?" Half of the face protruded slightly through the crack of the door, at a fairly safe distance.

Sure enough, as described in Solitaire, it is a very beautiful face and very calm.Lu Ning couldn't help but thank Yan Meng for creating such a character at that time, maybe she just hoped to have a reassuring pillar in the text, maybe it was just to set off the horror of despair.But this character has been taken over by Lu Ning and used.

"We are also the ones who are unfortunately trapped here." Lu Ning said.

"Why do you know me? I've never met you." Xin Mi was very vigilant.

"It's a long story, can we not talk in the corridor? The taboos here are changing a bit fast, and we don't want to die suddenly." Lu Ning said, "I think you should have something in your hand to ensure your own safety , please let us skip those boring mutual probing."

The door closed slowly, and then there was the sound of the door chain being undone.Xin Mi opened the door and looked at the three people calmly: "Please come in."

Lu Ning smiled and nodded: "Excuse me."

After the three entered the room one after another, the door was closed again by Xin Mi.The TV in the living room was turned on and became the only light source in the room. A tall woman in a military coat and a muscular man in a sweater were lying on the two sofas in the living room respectively, which was slightly unexpected by Lu Ning outside.

"Huh? Did you put it in?" The woman tilted her head back, her phoenix eyes were raised slightly and glanced here. She had a chocolate bar in her mouth, and her pronunciation was a little vague.

"Is it a credible person?" the man asked in a low voice.

"They know something about me, so let's talk about it. If it's a friend, it's good, if it's not, then throw it away." Xin Mi replied coldly.Fortunately, Yan Zidan and Qian Yipeng had seen some scenes, so they would not be frightened by these three people.

"My name is Li Wenyue. It's a pleasure meeting you." Lu Ning was not affected by the aura of these three people, but was even happier.Free teammates?Then she would be disrespectful.

"You know me." Xin Mi walked back, picked up the remote control and pressed the pause button. It turned out that what was playing on the TV was a video.

"My name is Long Tiangang." The strong man looked at Lu Ning with scrutiny, "It seems that you are not some ghosts."

"You don't seem to be afraid of ordinary ghosts." Lu Ning said with a smile, "Can I ask what you can rely on?"

"Use the monster's leftovers to kill the monster. Of course, first of all, don't die yourself." The woman in the army coat chuckled, "The two of you can also tell me your name? I am Deng Zhiyi. If you are human, I am very happy to meet you."

"My name is Qian Yipeng, hello."

"My name is Yan Zidan."

The two also reported their names respectively.

"That's all for the greetings." Xin Mi raised her hand and made a stop gesture, "No matter how you know me, we also need to know your origins and your purpose. Since you are here to seek cooperation, there should be cooperation. Basics. Any attempt to deceive us will be considered a breakdown of the negotiations, and even if you look young, we will not give you any preferential treatment."

"This is the best way. I don't want to waste too much time on the conditions. We don't have enough time, do we?" Lu Ning also said, "It's just that I can represent the two of them. I don't know which of the three can act True representation? Talking with many people will just waste more time listening.”

"Xin Mi, it's just you." Deng Zhiyi took out another pack of chocolate bars from the snack box on the coffee table, "We can just listen in."

Xin Mi pointed to the dining table next to her, Lu Ning nodded, and the two walked over.When Yan Zidan and Qian Yipeng were at a loss, Long Tiangang patted the sofa: "Sit down and eat something. We are not enemies until they discuss the result."

In Lu Ning's design, Xin Mi herself is good enough, she is a reliable teammate in all situations.And how different is Xin Mi in reality from the story?

"To make a long story short, we came here to save a friend, and the situation here seems to be much more complicated than we thought. What we know so far is that this place has become the Red Hell that originally belonged to Hades, in other words, it has basically fallen into A different space. Tell me about your situation?" Lu Ning spoke first.

"We just got together here on the weekend." Xin Mi said, "We didn't expect such a thing to happen. About three days... three and a half days ago, we woke up and found that the scenery outside the window had changed. There was a blood-like smell in the tap water, and the property’s phone couldn’t get through. Such a weird feeling made us not act rashly. We just investigated this floor first and found the problem with the elevator. At that time, there were still some living people here. .”

"then?"

"Yes, some people took the elevator and planned to leave, while others thought it would be safer to take the stairs. Of course, the people who took the elevator didn't hear from anyone in the end, but those who took the stairs found the body... If there is only one head left It can be said that it is a corpse."

"What happened? You also tried to go there?"

"It depends on how much information you can provide. Our exploration is also a very dangerous operation, and some of the information we have obtained cannot be shared with you casually."

"So, you probably haven't heard about the elevator yet?" Lu Ning took out her mobile phone and showed Xin Mi the photos taken in the elevator, "We found this in the elevator when we came up. Regarding these written words Do you guys have any clues?"

"We've never been in an elevator...wait a minute." Xin Mi tapped her fingers, then turned her head and said, "Dalong, come and have a look, this handwriting is very similar to yours."

"What handwriting?" Long Tiangang got up and walked over, carefully looking at the photos in Lu Ning's phone.Lu Ning asked Xin Mi, "There may be similarities in the handwriting. Why do you think it's his?"

"Dalong's hobby is calligraphy. His calligraphy is very distinctive. If someone deliberately imitates it, it is not impossible to imitate it. But judging from the content of these sentences, I am afraid that he is not such a boring person."

"Yes, this is my font." Long Tiangang nodded, "I'm pretty sure I haven't written these words myself, so...does anyone else exist?"

"You accepted it quickly." Lu Ning took the phone back.

"I see too many weird things these days, and I always accept more weird things." Long Tiangang nodded, and Xin Mi waved him to go back, and then continued talking with Lu Ning.

"The graffiti in these elevators does provide some facts that may be horrifying... But this does not affect our continued discussion. Then what I just said. Through the stairs, we have some general understanding of the condition of this building. The same floor The interior remains normal, but once the 'up' and 'down' actions are performed through the stairs, the floor will change."

"What kind of change exactly?"

"There is no pattern, it just makes you go to an unknown floor. We have tried four times in total. Twice upstairs and twice downstairs. The two upstairs reached the 45th floor and the 190th floor respectively, while the downstairs The two times are the 77th floor and the root number two."

"There's a square root of two on the floor?"

"Special floor. We only encountered it on the fourth time. Specifically, the 45th floor is a large supermarket, which sells a very complete range of daily necessities at low prices. The only requirement is that it needs to be taken away when leaving A needle of blood. If there are our replicas, it is probably related to this, but we are not short of supplies. It is related to this. The sixth floor of 190 is a breeding farm, where there are a lot of spiders, longhorns and centipedes. We didn't dare to stay on that floor for too long and came back. The 77th floor is a maze, where we met some zombie-like monsters, but this monster moves slowly, and although it has a little strength, it can be smashed We were just afraid of monsters gathering, so we left after a little inspection. In the end, there are many large cabinets like the medicine cabinets in pharmacies, but with a very large volume ratio. Each drawer can hold about Four to five people lie down side by side, and in the center of the floor is a copper utensil like an alchemy furnace."

"It sounds like these floor structures are not the same as ours?"

"We didn't get to any of the original floors of the building. Fortunately, we could go back down the stairs and come back here, which is the tenth floor. The structure of each floor is different."

"Which floor did you see the human head on?"

"The labyrinth, there are many small rooms, there are some cocoons with blue and red eyeballs in it, and human bones are scattered on the ground, most of them are just bones, and that's where we saw the head of a person who left before, so Decided to return. Let me declare in advance that we don’t know all the dangers, and the weirdness of this place is beyond imagination.”

"I understand this very well." Lu Ning nodded, "I still have a question, but I think you can ask one thing first."

"Did you come up by the elevator? Can the elevator take you to the correct floor?" Xin Mi asked.

"No, the elevator also has its own rules. You need to put together the buttons in a certain way to get there. Yan Zidan knows the method. But the method of going up and going down are different, and it should not be the same set of code symbols, so don't count on these. According to the code in the elevator Leave a message, it is more likely to send you to an unknown floor, and it has not even retreated."

"That's tricky..."

"Okay, so it's my turn to ask a question. Can I have a look at your weapons?"

Xin Mi frowned.

"It's what you said, I hope you don't hide it. I'll just say it straight. No matter how brave ordinary people are, they won't go exploring everywhere without any support. You even dare to take the risk of attacking the monsters here. I judge that you A supermarket floor I met also purchased corresponding weapons, I hope I can see what weapons you have in your hands, can you?" Lu Ning said with a smile.

"...Yes." Xin Mi took out a lancet from the skirt of her shirt and put it on the table.Deng Zhiyi took out a large bone knife from under the sofa and shook it, while Long Tiangang pointed to a baton on the bookshelf behind him.

Lu Ning wanted to see it, but they really only showed it to Lu Ning without elaborating.Lu Ning also knew that these weapons must have some special functions. After all, Xin Mi and the others are just ordinary people. Even if they stay in this hell-like place for more than three days, it is not enough to quickly transform into the experience of tourists. It is understandable to be somewhat defensive and reserved.

"Thank you, I have no problem. Next, we should be able to discuss how to cooperate. I think the three of you are ordinary people. Since you want to escape from here, you must need some help. It just so happens that there is one of us Taoist priest, I can't guarantee how much credibility he has, but at least it's better than nothing now."
