Returning from the abyss

Chapter 773 Assault
Lu Ning knew that the skills she showed at the beginning could not be concealed from the other party, so she could only put on a show and show a clear sense of perfunctory to cover up her ability.Although she had disclosed her abilities to Mao Yizheng and her roommates, it was inevitable that she would be completely controlled by the government. She knew that this was just a scene, and she hadn't really returned to reality.

After that, the test Emmy gave her was also relatively simple, which was a routine method of invisibility to external inspections.Separate inspections of footprints, smoke, lights, and infrared detection, and these are all within the scope of quiet camouflage, Lu Ning's "invisibility" is of course perfect.

"Okay, your basic ability registration has been completed." After Emmy made the final record for Lu Ning, she put it back in the drawer, "Tomorrow morning, your special ID number will be sent to your mailbox. The password to open is the last nine digits of your ID card. Any other questions?"

"Officer Meng said, I hope I can cooperate..."

"Oh, this matter is not as simple as you think. Even if you are a superpower, you are still an ordinary person. When we reach a cooperation with ordinary superpowers, we will not ask the other party to do those dangerous things, but The ongoing risk assessment is unknown." Emmy explained, "We won't let you do anything until we figure out the specific limits of your abilities."

"Okay." Lu Ning looked a little disappointed.

"Meng Bin, send classmate Lu Ning back." Emmy called Meng Bin who was outside the door, "As for the follow-up incidents of her other two classmates, follow the usual methods, it's not impossible to reveal a little bit."

"Yes. Student Lu Ning, please follow me."

Meng Bin was the only one sending people back this time.On the way, Lu Ning asked, "Captain Emmy isn't the only problem with the lowering of her head, is she? She doesn't look very well."

"...The captain is a person who has participated in many anti-cult operations, and has been seriously eroded by evil methods. We don't know what her physical condition is, but it's not good." Meng Bin said in a low voice, "But there is no doubt , The captain is very experienced, she has just been here for a few days, we have already figured out the action rules of the superpower this time, and the case will probably be closed soon after that."

"Really? That would be great."

"If we need it, we will contact you, but generally, your stealth ability should not be used. It's because I didn't think about it, the captain is calmer."

Meng Bin parked the car outside the school, but Lu Ning said that she could handle the two roommates by herself, so Meng Bin told her a few words and left.When Lu Ning returned to the dormitory, she found that the two of them were already awake, sitting down there, one playing computer and the other swiping their phones.

"Are you back?" Ying Caiyi turned her head to look at her in the midst of her busy schedule, "It looks like you're all right?"

"Aren't you two curious?" Lu Ning laughed.

"I'm curious, and Ying Caiyi pressed me back." Li Xian curled her lips, "What's going on?"

"It's just a misunderstanding. I was regarded as a suspect in the investigation case, but a little investigation can clear the suspicion, and I registered it by the way."

"That's it..." Li Xian was a little disappointed.

"I just said it's nothing. Even people with superpowers can't do anything earth-shattering. The bedroom next door wasn't disturbed. No matter how incompetent Lu Ning is, she won't stop making trouble. There aren't many signs of fighting in this room." , comprehensive consideration is to take the initiative to leave." Ying Caiyi said.

"What? Li Xian, you still want us to fight?" Lu Ning feigned anger.

"No, I'm fresh, what is it like for superpowers to have conflicts?"

"You don't go out to join in the fun recently. It's true that people with superpowers have caused some troubles. Since you are ordinary people, you'd better be careful."

"It's okay to stay on campus." Ying Caiyi said.

"It should be safe."

"Okay, we won't leave these days, anyway, we have to start preparing for the final review."

"End of term?" Li Xian's attention was immediately drawn away.

"It's mid-November, and the exam week will be over a month away. I have to prepare in advance."

"Scared me..."

Ying Caiyi winked at Lu Ning, then turned her head and continued playing games.

Except for class time on Friday, Lu Ning was studying the part of the information Tang Ling gave her. It was difficult to solve the puzzle when everything was unknown, but it was easier to reverse the process after knowing the answer.In addition to the one that Lu Ning witnessed before, there were three other murders that occurred in the past few days. The time and place were different. " to deduce the corresponding meaning.There are semiotics courses in the distribution center, but Lu Ning has not been able to study it in depth. What she can judge so far is that it belongs to a set of pictographs, and the key point is that the strokes of each symbol are connected. fulcrum exists.

Lu Ning screened those characters, and compared them against the places where the murder occurred on the map, but even so, there were as many as six characters that overlapped with the four fulcrums, and it was impossible to determine which one they were trying to use. written on the ground.

But now Lu Ning has the position of the fifth fulcrum.The old district in the south of the city is a somewhat deserted neighborhood, which has gradually declined due to the transfer of the economic center. There are still people living there, but the people who live there are not in good living conditions.

Taking this fifth position as the fulcrum, if it is correct, Lu Ning can completely determine which character the opponent is using.Furthermore, she also knows where further disruptions to the plan are most deadly.

Provided that the letter was right.

Lu Ning is not someone who bet everything on a letter of unknown origin. Even though the Red Snow Ball did come from the information provided by the distribution center, she dare not believe that this additional information is accurate.She also compared and marked the positions of the other five fulcrums of the six symbols on the map. At worst, she would run a little tired these two days.

After class at three o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Ning went straight to Zhaoxing North Road. If Zheng Jiao'e's goal was to establish a fulcrum there, then she must be able to find some clues there.

But unexpectedly, when she rushed there to pretend to be shopping, she saw two policemen in plain clothes. The reason why she recognized them was because one of them was the first time Meng Bin came to find her. The person who brought them with him, and the two stood there as if they were chatting, but they were probably monitoring something.

Looks like Emmy's team has figured it out too?Lu Ning found a place nearby where no one was around and walked over incognito. With these two policemen as markers, it saved her the time to continue searching.

The two policemen were guarding a deep alley, which was about 30 meters away from the place where the dead man had died. Now there was no one in the alley, and the policemen couldn't see Lu Ning walking past. She easily passed the sight of the two.

The alley, which was empty on the surface, was churning with strange fluctuations.Lu Ning raised her eyebrows and walked towards the center of the fluctuation.As the sense of distortion became more and more suffocating, Lu Ning finally saw the stroke engraved on the base of the wall - just like the silver hook painted on iron in calligraphy. left traces.

This is an acute-angled pen, which is also an exclusionary condition for Lu Ning. She immediately left the alley and hurried to the next place.

The strokes of those special symbols are different from ordinary calligraphy, even arcs and waves exist, but it is precisely because of these complex features that each symbol has an obvious characteristic structure. As long as she finds out the condition of the characteristics, she can determine whether the symbol is which one.

Of course, I have to admit that it is closer to the old district in the south of the city indicated on the envelope.

After running through two locations, Lu Ning was convinced that there were fulcrum marks left in each place, which cannot be removed by digging them out. The scratches are just a mark, and the truly meaningful It is a life sacrifice that has been completed.

"It looks like the old area in the south of the city, that's right." Lu Ning carefully compared the copybooks again, and there was indeed no second character on the three handwritings that could match, unless those handwritings were not generated according to symbols. .

Even so, to be on the safe side, she still had to prepare to notify Emmy and the others to prevent any accidents in the remaining places, of course...including the old district in the south of the city.

Of course, this notifier is not "Lu Ning". The identity of the mysterious person who was previously used in the unfinished building on the outskirts of the city can still be used again.Lu Ning printed out a few characters, typed out another explanation, activated the quiet disguise, and called the police station again.

"Captain! I received a call from that mysterious person again!" Ji Changting rushed into Emmy's office.

"Oh? What's the matter this time?" Emmy looked away from the file.

"He provided predictive clues about the future of Distortion Point!"

Emmy stood up instantly: "Is he still connected? Take me there immediately!"

"Yes! That's why I hurried over to find you!"

The two quickly rushed to the office where the phone was answered. Meng Bin was there. All the ordinary policemen had been asked to leave, and only a few people from the same team were present.

"From the sound, it seems that someone is coming again? Do you need me to repeat it again?" A voice came from the phone, which has become hands-free. Emmy walked quickly to the phone and said, "I'm Emmy, the team leader in charge of the distortion point incident here. Hello, sir."

"Captain? That's fine, you won't be running around like headless chickens if you have a team leader. Miss Emmy, may I ask, will there be someone with a higher official position than you?"

"No, I am the commander-in-chief of all operations in this city, please rest assured."

"Very good, then it's okay to repeat it again. Miss Emmy, I accidentally ran into the distortion point incident that happened in this city last time, so I reached out and took care of it a little bit. I thought it was just a cult, but I didn't expect it to be so A big case...and now, I have to trust you as the people's defenders."

"Have you encountered any difficulties, sir?"

"I have a catalog of runes used by this cult in my hand. I have analyzed a lot of this catalog, at least I can find out what symbols they use. I have visited the core locations of several key events in this city. Combined with Based on time, it is basically possible to infer the possible location of the next foothold.”

"Possible location? Excuse me..."

"That is, where is the person they are going to kill next. I think it would be good for you to act in advance. You should not have any 'do not act in any situation' criterion. For proof, I will also change the style of the corresponding character and The interpretation is up to you, believe it or not. According to my guess, at most six places need to be carefully guarded. This defense is not the level of sending a few policemen over there. They can kill people without anyone noticing, you guys There should also be a proper way to stop it.”

"Six locations, we can fully control them. But sir, if you don't reveal any personal information, you will also be our focus."

"Of course, I just don't want to do this, so I didn't contact you too much before. And if you want to find me, you might as well try." The voice on the other side let out a deep smile, "Miss Emmy, if you let me Disappointed, there will be no chance of cooperation in the future. Generally speaking, I still hope that we can get along well."

"understood."

"That's good. In the end, I have put the information into the No. 230 locker downstairs of the Central Commercial Building. Whether it is a brute force cracking or other methods, I believe you have the means to take out the contents. Good luck with your operation."

The phone hangs up.

"Captain, this..." Someone frowned and asked.

"Go to two people to get the things back first. We discuss and decide. Inform everyone to go to the conference room and prepare for the meeting. This time it is a raid operation. If the information given by that person is true, we can take the initiative in this operation. !"

"Yes!"

Lu Ning suddenly understood why so many people like to write this kind of anonymous letter pretending to be sophisticated, but in fact it is quite cool to make anonymous phone calls.

Emmy shouldn't be a person who can't distinguish between the important and the important. In this way, no matter where they are on Saturday, there will definitely be people from them. I can only hope that these people are strong enough to deal with those crazy believers.Of course, she still wanted to go to the old district in the south of the city to have a look, and she was even ready to kill Zheng Jiao'e on the spot.

But at night, she received a message from Mao Yizheng, telling her that she had contacted Li Xilou.The good news is that Li Xilou seems to be very interested in Lu Ning's contact, and he agreed without taking too much time. The bad news is that Li Xilou can't get away. If Lu Ning wants to see him, he must Head to the capital.

Lu Ning asked if the phone was okay, but Mao Yizheng said that although Li Xilou was willing to meet her, he still wasn't going to reveal his personal information just like that.

After a little bit of tangling, Lu Ning agreed. Anyway, everything will be settled this week, and she is still interested in investigating the problem of distortion points, so she might as well talk to Li Xilou again.Not long after that, Mao Yizheng sent her a schedule, asking her to pick a time, when Li Xilou would invite her to a top restaurant in the capital.
