Returning from the abyss

Chapter 752 Curling Clouds and Smoke——End of the Intermission
Lu Ning received a notification sent by email, which seemed to be aimed at all tourists belonging to the fourth-order Rose Cross.The general content is the introduction of the fifth-tier new distribution center and no further arrangements for the whereabouts of the personnel. If you choose to go to the fifth-tier new distribution center during the fourth-tier promotion, there will inevitably be a lack of superior leadership there. Blood and Hongmeng Tiandao have cooperated in this regard, and they can seek support from them after upgrading.

Lu Ning marked it emphatically, but she has just been promoted to the fourth level, and there is still some time before the fifth level.Although she has decided not to stay here for too long, due to the lack of points in the previous promotion, she still needs to go through several scenes to accumulate points before she dares to apply for promotion.

During this period of time, Lu Ning focused on improving her skills in electronic information technology and stealth. Even after gaining superpowers, many small skills can still improve her chances of survival.Of course, she didn't let go of the trace science and other things about the investigation itself. She originally wanted to learn basic magic science along the way, but there was really not enough time.

Ten days after Ning Yeyi told herself that Zhao Xihua and others would come over, they really got promoted.The condition of the four people is not bad, and because they were promoted together, they all entered the same scene.Unlike the mutual narrative between Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi, the four of them were not separated into two worlds, but thrown into a modern battlefield.Of course, they don't need to participate in the war, but to investigate the weird events that happened in several small counties under this general environment.From man-made to real supernatural phenomena, then it was confirmed as the agglomeration of the souls of the war, and finally upgraded to the murder produced by the will of the group.

As usual, the background development of the distribution center, but without Lu Ning's request to conceal their identities, the obstacles to the cooperation of the four people are much smaller, although it is not as easy as Lu Ning's side as long as one of the people dies to solve the problem.

Except for Zhao Xihua who wanted to plan a foothold for his team and didn't stay here, Shang Wenxue, Fujii Yukine and Watanabe Fuko all stayed.In the past few days, the rest of the people and some friends who have been promoted have entered this small village, and the originally quiet village suddenly became much more lively.

"I always feel that there are a lot of newcomers recently."

Deng Lun, who was sorting documents downstairs, put a sorted document on the table and looked out the window.

"Are you envious?" Tang Ling dragged a small trolley of documents across from him, "Why do I feel that there are more and more things recently? Are the people in those groups sick?"

"After all, we rank the lowest in the custody team here at Tier [-]..." Deng Lun scratched his hair, "I don't know how the other custody teams are doing. Speaking of which, Tang Ling, shouldn't it be time for you to prepare?"

"What are you preparing for?" Tang Ling suddenly raised his head when he was sorting the documents, with an unhappy expression on his face.

"Your scene, it's your turn after all the calculations, right? This time there's also the killing master, Brother Meng, it's the turn of the three of you to enter the scene. I envy you for being able to escape from the pile of documents. "Deng Lun let out a long sigh.

"Tsk." Tang Ling patted his head, "Indeed, Sister Ling is back, and we should be ready to go. Hey, don't make any mistakes if you work alone. No one will find your work mistakes for you. where!"

"It seems that you make more mistakes than me..." Deng Lun snorted softly, but Tang Ling didn't hear it.

"Anyway, it's just a scene. There's nothing to prepare for. You'll be back soon." Tang Ling picked up the file and lay down on his seat. "If it wasn't for us two newcomers, the team leader and the others are probably ready to be promoted together." Tier scores, right? Now they’re staying here to wait for us, right?”

"You can think so." Deng Lun shrugged, "The custody team is a bit different from what I thought, but I'm also very happy to be here."

"How short are you?"

"If the score is mixed... two scenes?" Deng Lun calculated, "You are similar, right?"

"Well, go back and tell the team leader that you don't have to deal with these bullshit chores when you reach the fifth level."

"Don't keep learning from Elder Sister Wen Ge."

"You are so wide-ranging."

In the mountain village in the evening, smoke billowed from the kitchen. Lu Ning set up a barbecue grill in the yard, enjoying the peace at the end of the day while thinking about the possibility of the next scene.

Almost without exception, the pre-preparation for the distribution center scene will be caught off guard. The distribution center will never allow people to enter the scene fully prepared, so Lu Ning has no special training for the fourth-order scene.She was already ready to enter the next scene. After discussing with her companions, she was worried that there would be too many people involved in the confrontation, so this time she and Zhao Xihua entered the fourth-level scene together to avoid the possibility of internal fighting to the greatest extent.

She and Zhao Xihua have already cooperated in the scene, and they have a better understanding of each other's behavior patterns in the scene, and they are looking forward to collaborating again in the scene.What is even more curious is the extent of the so-called "tailor-made".

Lu Ning took a piece of cooked meat from the grill and cut it on the small chopping board next to it. At this moment, someone knocked on the courtyard door.

"It's not locked, please come in."

"I'm sorry." The door was pushed open, and Watanabe Fuko walked in.

"A rare visitor." Lu Ning was a little surprised. Watanabe Fuko rarely took the initiative to go out to visit, and she didn't know why she had a large collection of books in the distribution center. On the second day after she was promoted, a waiter at the distribution center brought a truckload of books. Generally speaking, Fujii Xueyin or Ning Yeyi called the master to find her.

"It's just a whim." Watanabe Fuko said with a smile, "Unfortunately, it seems to be in time for your dinner?"

"Want some?"

"Recently, I feel a little dry, and I'm fasting, so I can avoid meat." Watanabe smiled and refused, "At this moment, do you have time to listen to a word or two of my gossip?"

"If you take the initiative to talk, I will definitely listen."

"It's an honor." Watanabe found a stone bench and sat down. Lu Ning stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth and chewed, then clapped her hands in satisfaction and walked over.

"Then, what I want to say here are just two things." Watanabe Fuko took out a pair of black folding fans from his wide sleeves and tapped on his hands, "First, about the fifth-order distribution center Well, I have inquired about the above transfer news from some sources. Since the last time the harvest was not bad, I don’t plan to stay at the fourth level for a long time. Maybe after one or two scenes, I will go up the level and go to the new distribution center— —It’s like a blank sheet of paper, it’s more comfortable than the old distribution center already filled with colors.”

"I thought you didn't care about these things." Lu Ning was a little surprised.

"Actually... I just don't care and it won't have a major impact on me. And the fifth-tier distribution center has been divided into camps, and independent tourists have to go through attachment, or better, similar to the 'menke'" The method is to survive with the help of a large organization. Lu Ning, do you know the most common situation in the fifth-order scene?"

This Lu Ning really knows a little bit. Out of curiosity, she checked some files that can be made public.

The fifth-order distribution center maintains peace, but this is not the case in the scene.The fifth-order scene is a fully free and highly dispersed scene. It is difficult for tourists to have a major intersection. On the contrary, once they meet, it is likely to evolve into a situation where they have to fight. Therefore, apart from practical allies, various organizations will not prohibit the scene. Killing each other happened, after all it was totally unavoidable in the end.

Even if the upper echelons can see this matter, it is impossible for the rest of the people not to have various grievances because of it, and such self-seeking hatred is also within the scope of acquiescence, as long as it does not cause unforgivable crimes such as indiscriminate killing of innocent people, five Internal friction between stages is actually allowed.It is also because of this that it will be more difficult for individual tourists in this environment. After all, the infighting between large organizations will make these individual tourists suffer even if it is not intentional. If you don't want to die suddenly, you must have a reliable friend or backing , often forming mutual support in the scene.

"I don't like that kind of environment. I have a little confidence in my ingenuity, but I'm not so arrogant that I think I can use it against those who have existed in the fifth level for a long time. In contrast, the new distribution center for a large number of newcomers Maybe it’s better for me. So if one day I leave without saying goodbye, it’s going to a new distribution center.”

"It's very kind of you to let me know."

"Because you are at home." Watanabe smiled, "You also know that I am tired, so maybe I won't tell others. You are not someone who will die easily, as long as you give up your own obsession, you It is possible to live to deliver the message."

"Ha... I'll take it as a compliment."

"Then the second topic... I want to talk to you about the distribution center itself." Watanabe smiled mysteriously again, "I believe that among the people I know, you may be the one who has the deepest understanding of this .”

"The distribution center itself?" Lu Ning did not expect that she was the first to ask herself this question.

"Since the first level, I have seen some people who have different views on the distribution center, but the second and third levels, under the pressure of survival, the number of people who can think about this matter has begun to decrease. Initially, from this score Among the rules, benefits, and all kinds of malicious concealment and conditions, I thought this was just some kind of god's boring fun. But as I got in touch with the scene, my point of view changed." Watanabe said softly, " I think that after entering the third level, we began to obtain the qualifications to understand, and the fourth level proves that the distribution center has started to face us in turn."

"This face-to-face is nothing more than a high-end consumable." Lu Ning waved her hand, "I know what you mean, I do have some guesses about the distribution center, but it is completely impossible to prove it now. The most important thing is that this has nothing to do with my purpose. As long as the distribution center can fulfill my wish to go home after passing the fifth level, then I don’t care what it is.”

"So that's how you think..." Watanabe showed a dazed expression.

"It doesn't sound like you have such a purpose, Watanabe."

"Yeah, the bait thrown by the distribution center at the beginning was indeed very tempting, but most of the people who changed after that. Here, I am afraid that there are not a few people who finally chose to stay, otherwise those people at the fifth level might have left long ago. As the relationship between people deepens, this place becomes a place more worthy of nostalgia than the place where you live."

"you too?"

"I have a lot of good friends, don't I? At the same time, I don't miss the environment I lived in when I was alive." Watanabe waved his fan, "I died of illness, if you don't mind hearing .Because I made some mistakes, I was punished by my family, and because of this, I got seriously ill and died. I have no intention of revenge, but I don’t really want to go back to that environment.”

"So you are looking for a new home." Lu Ning understood.

"The place of residence, for me, the distribution center is actually very satisfying to me now. Lu Ning, you and I have exchanged mutual ideas. It seems that you have no special needs to find out whether the distribution center is really suitable for the place of residence. I am overstepping Already." Watanabe Fuko stood up, still with that unique smile, "I wish you and I both success."

"Ah good."

After Watanabe bowed, he turned and walked out the door.It seemed that she really only came here for a chat, and the so-called topics were all mentioned superficially, and they were not discussed in depth, but Lu Ning believed that she must know something.

She smiled too, and went back to the grill.

=
The instructions for the fourth-tier distribution center were exactly the same as before. The first envelope directed her to the location, waiting for further guidance from the waiter.But this time the destination is in a private room of a restaurant, which is quite different from the previous ones.

The head of the waiter who received this time is a stone tablet, dressed in black standard waiter attire, and the private room seems to have been specially organized, only a small table is placed in the middle of the room, the waiter bowed to Lu Ning after entering the room She greeted him respectfully. His voice was a bass, with a sense of depth.

"Miss Lu Ning, it's an honor to guide you here. This is your first fourth-order scene mission, so please cheer up, the fourth-order scene will always give you some surprises."

"Oh? Your attitude is indeed a lot more enthusiastic this time."

The waiters usually have a respectful attitude, but they are all doing business. The words reminding tourists to pay attention like this are basically inaudible. It seems that the state of the fourth level is really different.

"If you are ready, please come to the table, and I will guide you into this scene." The stone tablet gestured to the small table, Lu Ning nodded and walked over, and sat down in front of the table.Shi Bei sat opposite her, and took out a folded document from his inner pocket.

When he opened the file and put it in front of Lu Ning, Lu Ning was stunned for a moment - it was not a notification of the scene, but a list.

"Miss Lu Ning, the first step before entering the scene, in this scene, you can choose the ability you have in a scene from all the scenes you have experienced before, including the level-up test scene, bring into this scene. Here is the list."
