Returning from the abyss

Chapter 726
Every person imprisoned in the cage was dressed in the same attire as the unknown team he had seen before. To make sure, Xin Mi also cut off the ponchos of two more people to confirm.

"These people are all dead?" Even Long Tiangang couldn't help being shocked this time.

"There are no vital signs, at least as a human being, it is a definite death. And looking at the strange postures of these people... I guess they all died in different ways." Xin Mi looked at several cages, "It's just why they will die here?"

"Did he die elsewhere and was brought here? Or..." Yan Zidan guessed.

Lu Ning looked at the rest of the place. This is a preparatory space under the stage, which is also used to match the lifting device of the stage. There are many glove boxes piled up around it, including props and actor costumes that will be used in some scenes.

Lu Ning lifted a piece of canvas by the wall and found that there were more than a dozen oil barrels piled up underneath, all of which were empty.She frowned slightly, turned around and opened a glove box, which was full of costumes and props.She didn't take the trouble to take them all out, and found a suit at the bottom - from the mask to the armor to the weapon, including the bow.

"Did you find something?" Xin Mi asked when she found that Lu Ning was struggling to find some things out of the box.

"A set of equipment, how about you?"

At this time, Xin Mi was trying to peel off the gas mask, which was much more troublesome than the black mask outside, and when she was cutting it, she already felt that there must be nothing this time.

Black foam flowed out from the part scratched by the scalpel. It is estimated that the body inside has all turned into such a thing, and it is impossible to see what kind of face is under the mask.

"This set of equipment... why is there such a set here?" Qian Yipeng also came to help.

"It's just a box, we haven't found anything else. If I had to guess, maybe this was originally a resting place for these teams."

"These teams?"

"Yeah, from the text on the elevator, it is obvious that more than one team is exploring, such a team is operating in a group, and the captain is suspected to be in contact with someone. There should be more teams operating. I am afraid this floor was originally It was a recuperation point occupied by the team, but it was suddenly attacked and turned into this appearance..."

"Indeed, there are also here!" Yan Zidan also took out a bow from another box.

At the same time, Xin Mi tried to cut off a person's mask through the cage. Her hands were steady enough, but when the mask fell, the person's head also collapsed into black foam. .

"Alas..." Xin Mi flicked the scalpel, a little disappointed.

"It seems that all the corpses are almost like this." Long Tiangang shook his head, and began to help Lu Ning rummage through the boxes.

"Hey, spoil the fun." Deng Zhiyi held up the knife to illuminate it, and touched the gas mask that was dug out by everyone, and looked at it.

"I know you can help me to see what functions these things have, maybe they can still be used." Xin Mi reminded.

"I still want to light up... okay, okay." Deng Zhiyi curled his lips, "I thought the lighting function was just to assist, why didn't the monster cut off a few lights and use it as a light bulb here..."

Yan Zidan chuckled, although the others didn't make a sound, but the atmosphere was a little more relaxed.

There was no danger during the rummaging process. Long Tiangang made some new discoveries after finding a few boxes. He pressed against the wall and tapped lightly with his knuckles, stopping every few times and changing places to knock twice.Lu Ning and the others knew at a glance that there was some mystery behind the wall.

"What did Brother Long do before? We didn't find out." Lu Ning was also a little surprised. She was looking for some obvious wall mechanism or something, but Long Tiangang was obviously more professional. The work seemed to be done by him.

"It's just a gym owner, with some hobbies." Long Tiangang replied casually, carefully touching the wall with his fingers, and finally settled on the edge of an iron cage.

"Found it?" Xin Mi raised her eyebrows.

"Well, but there seems to be something wrong with the original machine, Xin Mi, please help me." Long Tiangang said.

Xin Mi walked over and stabbed the scalpel into the crack in the wall where Long Tiangang struck. The blade was so sharp that it didn't seem to take much effort to cut off the outer layer of the wall. She dug out a round hole very easily. out.

Everyone leaned over, and what was hidden in the wall was actually a small electronic clock. The date on it was out of order, but it seemed that the date and time could be adjusted manually.Long Tiangang observed the installation status of the electronic clock, and concluded that it should have been buried together when the wall was built, not something that was put in later.

"It seems that we can adjust this time...but what's the meaning?" Long Tiangang asked with narrowed eyes.

"I think a certain date should have decisive significance." Xin Mi frowned, "But which day should it be?"

"The days when the Red Prison unfolds in the world." Lu Ning said.

"Are you sure?" Xin Mi glanced at her.

"Before that, the Red Hell was in Hades, and I don't think there is human time in Hades. This watch uses our calendar and timekeeping method, and its meaning only exists here." Lu Ning said.

"In that case..." Long Tiangang reached in and slowly adjusted the date back to that day.

Afterwards, everything shook, the solid iron cage was disappearing, and the corpses inside also turned into nothingness. The smell of burning and screams came from outside, but overlapping, like countless volumes of tapes playing at the same time Just as noisy.

"Why..." Xin Mi and the others quickly grabbed something nearby to stabilize their bodies.

"Get out." Lu Ning immediately turned and rushed to the door, but at this moment, countless coins began to pour in from outside the door, and a huge black hole appeared under Lu Ning's feet. She did not fall, but the money They all fell into the void.

"what?"

"Be careful!" Deng Zhiyi slid over with the knife and dragged Lu Ning out of the hollow area. At that moment, with the help of the green light on the knife, Lu Ning also saw the bottom of the hole——

There is a person who is looking up at the sky.He looked sad, his clothes were torn, and the large amount of coins piled up quickly at his feet, and was quickly buried up to his knees.

Lu Ning never thought that she would see him here——President Zheng Yunting.

"No! Damn it!"

She stretched out her hand and patted the hole. Although it was as inaccessible as if there was a transparent wall on it, the moment the palm patted it, the white ring suddenly lit up, and it appeared at the seemingly empty hole. Five imprints.

"Li Wenyue! What did you see!"

At this time, thanks to Qian Yipeng's teammate, he obviously found that Lu Ning's smashing action was obviously abnormal, so he immediately asked.Lu Ning immediately shouted: "Small the hollow surface!"

As soon as the words fell, Qian Yipeng took out the ghost pen in his pocket and jumped up, pounced on the hole, and the tip of the pen pierced the hole fiercely. The sharp weapon is obviously more lethal than Lu Ning's ring, although it still has no effect. penetrated, but a crack had spread through the hole.

The coins were still falling with a clatter. Judging by the speed, it was estimated that Zheng Yunting would be buried in half a minute.

"No! It's too hard!" Qian Yipeng stabbed it several times, creating many cracks, but it was obviously in danger, and the invisible wall would not be easily broken.

Just then, a green light flashed.

Click!

Deng Zhiyi's bone knife slammed down, and the green light even left a burning mark on both sides of the hole. The invisible wall was finally smashed open. Lu Ning didn't have time to thank her, and hurried to the hole and looked down. go.

"President!"

"Li... Li Wenyue! You came to save me? I'm sorry! I'm sorry..." Zheng Yunting was pulling himself out of the pile of money excitedly. He seemed to see the hope of life, and climbed up with hands and feet.At this time, Yan Zidan also took out a rope from the bag that he bought in the supermarket and moved over.The earthquake has stopped, only the coins are still pouring in.

"No matter who you saw..." Xin Mi suddenly said, "Are you sure it's a real person?"

"It doesn't matter." Lu Ning smiled, and threw the rope down with Yan Zidan, letting Zheng Yunting catch it.

To be honest, Lu Ning herself doesn't care whether the president is dead or alive, and she doesn't even have any likes or dislikes.All she needs is someone with a clear mind, able to communicate, and some memories of Zheng Yunting are enough.As long as you can restore some of the truth about Solitaire, nothing else matters.

"President! We are here to save you!" What you think in your heart and what you say are not necessarily the same thing.

"It's my fault...it's my fault..." Zheng Yunting was even crying bitterly. He grabbed the rope and climbed up with difficulty. This was not easy when the coins were clanging down, and he was already a little bruised and swollen.

"President! You are not in the group!" Yan Zidan shouted, "Do you know that you have implicated us all!"

"I know a little bit, but... I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Zheng Yunting could only keep apologizing, but fortunately the depth of the pit was only about seven or eight meters, and with money under his feet, Zheng Yunting had already climbed up to half of the height, and the appearance of the tears streaming down his face showed that it was really miserable.

"What's going on at Baligong!" Lu Ning asked.

"I don't know! I just entered in a daze, and I was assigned the status of a project team leader... I was very happy at first, thinking that my resume was taken by someone, who knows... who knows ..." Zheng Yunting cried with a sad face, "I'm sorry for you! I just found out that my account seems to have been sent to another project by accident, but I don't understand anything! The things these magic sticks are doing are real! I originally wanted to brag about myself to Yan Meng, but I didn't expect it to change immediately! Changed!"

"What changed? What happened to you? Make it clear!" Lu Ning pulled the rope hard.

"It's here, what kind of red prison... The project leader just sounds nice, that's a victim! I don't even want to! Many people died, even me... Huh? Dead? Dead? ?”

Zheng Yunting stopped climbing up, and his eyes were still looking at Lu Ning above, but he was full of doubts.

"Strange, I... I should have been crushed to death by coins, right? Why do I still have the opportunity to talk to you? No——you should be dead too, right? Where have I seen photos of your death? The project team? No—— Still here, you die, reborn? Red Hell, Red Hell, what, the pain of flesh and blood here—”

Lu Ning has already let go of her hands that were pulling very hard, and pulled out the sawtooth of fate.Rotten flesh and blood are growing along the rope, and there are coins on it.

"It seems that your death is much more tragic than it is now."

Zheng Yunting grabbed the rope with his bloody hands and continued to climb up, screaming.

"No! Don't! I'm alive! You can see me and talk to me! This is not hell, right? We have already returned to the world, right? Li Wenyue! You must want to live too! And You! Yan Zidan! Qian Yipeng! The death you experienced here—"

The scissors closed and cut the rope.

"Thank you for your last words, President. But we haven't died yet. The clones you've seen are somewhat different from our main body after all."

Zheng Yunting was still swollen, trying to grab the wall with his rotten hands.But without the intervention of external forces, he was simply unable to resist the falling coins like a torrent, and the result waiting for him was just as he should have been.

"Li Wenyue... was that... just now the president..." Yan Zidan asked tremblingly.

"I tend to think so. But the dead are dead after all, and it's not a state of being revived after time is reversed. It's just a ghost who has forgotten death. When he recalled it, his body also changed accordingly..."

"Thank you for being able to think about such things so calmly." Xin Mi walked over and witnessed Zheng Yunting's end.

"I once knew a priest who was pedantic, but he was upright. When we chatted, he said that most of the dead were unwilling to die, so once they had the chance, they would frantically look for a chance to return to the world. But if If every dead person does this, then the world will be in chaos." Lu Ning said with a smile, "It's not that miracles cannot happen, but they can't happen at any time, I really believe that."

"Anyway...that kid must have said something after all." Deng Zhiyi put the knife on his shoulder again.

"I was in a hurry, so I just asked a more important question. As expected, the change in this place is inseparable from the travel agency in Baligong. If we leave the Red Prison, we must go there. As for here... ...Brother Long, please adjust the time back."

"it is good."

As time was dialed back, everything returned to its original state, and those iron cages appeared again.

"Did you notice any changes in the interior scenery when you just returned?" Lu Ning asked again.

Xin Mi and Qian Yipeng nodded, indeed these two were the most careful.

"In addition to the iron cage, there are some things that have been added and subtracted. The equipment we took out was not here in the first place, so it disappeared after going back in time." Qian Yipeng said.

"Well, of course."

"By the way, sister Li, just now you said something about a clone? What did that mean? That kid yelled madly that you were dead too." Deng Zhiyi asked.

It took Lu Ning a few seconds to realize that she was called herself.
