Returning from the abyss

Chapter 821 Distorted Knowledge
"Director Chen! Many of our compatriots have been massacred! People in the two towns have lost contact! What should we do?"

"Professor Luo, don't worry."

In a hotel room in the town closest to the tower, two people were talking in the room, one seemed restless, while the other looked calm.

"We have touched something that they have covered for a long time, which of course will bring such a disaster." Director Chen calmly folded his hands, "But it is too late, maybe we have sacrificed, but our pursuit of knowledge has already passed It is the existence they cannot stop. Human beings who are only limited to believing in war and blinding the world cannot understand how we feel today."

"Director Chen, are you saying that we still have room to fight back?"

"Counterattack? Hahaha, Professor Luo, as I said, don't confine your eyes to such a narrow range. Why should I be angry with a group of fools? These people will never realize what is knowledge and what is transcendent cognition. You really hope, just show them a little bit, I'm not going out."

"But didn't you say...that kind of knowledge can only be given to like-minded people..."

"It's not that part." Director Chen smiled lightly, "The knowledge of the silver layer is our most precious gain, and it can only pass the test of the tower, but it's okay to show a little bit what we got in the lower layers."

"I see, Director. But I think it's better for us to climb to the last floor as soon as possible. Only when we fully understand this world, we don't need to be troubled by these mundane things anymore."

"It's late today. Tomorrow, I will lead five compatriots from the silver layer to launch a final challenge to the crystal layer."

Lu Ning hid in a half-collapsed house, quietly looking at the night street outside.Since she squatted here, several groups of different people have passed by. The information of the tower has indeed attracted countless people who want to get some benefits from it, and there are many strong people among them.

She didn't need to move around too much, the map of mountains and rivers would naturally record every team she had seen, and gradually, ink dots filled the countless small towns around the map.The three anomalous people were in a small town next door, and they had stopped in a building at the moment, looking like they were resting.However, it is still unknown whether people in that state will really rest. The only thing Lu Ning can know from this is that the strength of the three people is not so great that they cannot be marked on the map.

In addition, there are some ink dots approached from the outside world.It seems that there are actually quite a few people who have obtained information on the Type A virus, and many people in the circle she knows know the location of the Silent Buddha.I have to say that although the believers' trick of diverting water to the east is very rough, the effect is still very good.

I don't know how the researcher will respond. Lu Ning is now thinking of watching a show, and she is not going to make a casual move.

In the middle of the night, an RV parked downstairs where Lu Ning was hiding.

Lu Ning was just sleeping lightly upstairs, and she woke up immediately when there was the sound of a car. She looked up and took a look outside.This caravan is different from those common in the doomsday. It is basically clean, and it seems that no monsters have been encountered, and there are few traces of battle.But this does not mean that the people in the car have lost their fighting power. Lu Ning looked carefully and saw that the car was full of life, which meant that the people on board were living a good life.

"Is it right here?"

"We shouldn't get too close. There are vacant houses in the vicinity, and there have been fights. Staying here overnight can be less disturbed. First, check the surrounding houses. If there are any monsters, kill them and make an open space."

A few people got off the car, and Lu Ning heard the familiar voice behind her, so she poked her head to take a look.

There were small lights on both sides of the caravan, and one of the people who got out of the car also had a light in his hand. With these lights, Lu Ning immediately discovered that this group of people was another group of people in the Hongmei Pavilion—the servants.The last people to get out of the car were Mr. Zhou and some men, women and children she didn't know.Mr. Zhou still had that cold expression, but judging from the behavior of several servants, Mr. Zhou probably became their new master.

Feng Yuanxi was giving orders, Tian Xiao was the one who illuminated, and the remaining three servants were also present.Lu Ning thought for a while, instead of going out to meet a few people, she secretly watched their movements.She has actually wandered around here, and there are no monsters at all, so the preliminary investigation work will definitely not take a lot of time.

Ye Yunmei and Qu Langyue unloaded two pitch-black shotguns from the car, while Jin Xiuqing and Tian Xiao brought out big knives, and among the few people in the car that they didn't know, several young people also took their weapons and began to rush into the surrounding area. Searches were carried out in several houses.

There was no sound of fighting, and soon, people from various houses came out and gestured, probably indicating that it was safe inside.At this time, Lu Ning glanced sideways at the ink dots on the picture. Several ink dots were slowly approaching here, but it was a pity that they couldn't see who they were from above.

"Sir, according to the inspection, there are no monsters in the houses here, so you can live with peace of mind." Feng Yuanxi reported the results after asking the results one by one.

"Okay, now...wait a minute, there is a voice." Mr. Zhou raised his hand and looked at the street ahead.

Five people trotted over from the street on horseback. Lu Ning glanced at the map. There were only two ink dots, which meant that only two of these people were people she had seen before. Interestingly, these five She didn't know any of the faces.

Seeing the RV in front, the five horses stopped.Mr. Zhou also has a serious face. There are many people who drive in the end of the day, but there are not many people who can ride horses.Even if the current apocalypse is not in a state where the people are in dire straits, it is even rarer to raise horses as mounts than before the apocalypse.

"Unexpectedly, there are already people here." The leader raised his hand to Mr. Zhou, and smiled softly, "But I am a little tired after the journey, there are many houses here, I hope you can wait here Rest."

"It's quite polite." Mr. Zhou folded his hands, "Have we met?"

"Meet it? How could it be? We met by chance, maybe it's just a little bit of kindness."

"Feng Yuanxi, do you know this person?" Mr. Zhou asked the old butler next to him.

"Sorry, sir, I don't know this person, and we have definitely not met him in the past few days."

His super memory ability can guarantee this, but Lu Ning knows that even if Feng Yuanxi can remember, he can only remember the surface. If a person can change his appearance, he can't tell the difference.

"Which house do you want? We have a lot of people, and we have already inspected the houses here." Mr. Zhou said to the leading rider after nodding.

"Of course, you should choose first. There are five of us. It's just that the horse needs more care. It's good to have a roof to cover it."

"Then you don't need to discuss with us, please do it yourself." After Mr. Zhou said coldly, he led the people into a room that had been searched before. Jin Xiuqing was the last to go in and sealed the door behind him. .

And the five riders did wait quietly for Mr. Zhou and his party to get off the car and enter the house before dismounting one after another.

"Which room are we going to choose? Also, that person just now..."

"It has nothing to do with me anymore." The leader rider said, "And you too. If we have a conflict, it is a matter of conflict, but the current situation is... we don't need to make extra troubles, as long as we can reach the tower. "

"Why don't you go by at night?"

"Even we have to avoid this piece of night."

Lu Ning narrowed her eyes, the more the chief rider sounded more like the owner of the Hongmei Pavilion, but who was the person beside him who was asking and answering him?It sounded like a slightly deep female voice, but it was also very strange, not a tone she was familiar with.

The five riders found a private house to live in. Lu Ning came down from the upstairs and quietly touched the place where they tied their horses.These horses have been carefully cared for, and they don't look like post-apocalyptic animals at all. There are no scars on their bodies. Either the riders are superb, or all the battles put the horses outside the battle.

No matter which one it is, the strength of these five people should not be underestimated.

When the sky was twilight, the smell of blood came from the east.

The abnormal group is continuing to act, and the logic they follow is very simple. Those who smell normal will be ignored, and those who smell rot will be killed.No one could know what their "rotten" criterion was, but soon, people around the tower realized the existence of such a group of people.

"That's why Emmy said that it would be very troublesome once the anomalous team was deployed..." Yu Sheng pushed open the door and tightened the octagonal plate on the back, and the smiling killer stood outside the door.

"Several of the monsters I summoned also died. The people in the abnormal group are really like monsters. It's hard to imagine that there are such existences in the peaceful society I used to live in."

"They would not have been dispatched easily in the first place, and ordinary people would not have their turn to deal with them. The judgment of good and evil by the abnormal group is not the same as common sense, and dispatching casually will cause big trouble."

"But aren't you afraid now?"

"It's like pouring a highly toxic chemical into a deep pit full of pests." Yu Sheng glanced at the killer, "And you and I may also be within their killing range."

"Sounds horrible."

At this moment, the clouds above the tower suddenly began to swell, and the lingering cloud in the sky was slowly spreading in a ring shape. People saw some sunlight starting to shine down, and those sunlight were shining like gems. color.

On the intertwined trunk of the Silent Stupa, one eye after another opened, and those jewel-colored eyes began to stare at all the people in the surrounding towns who came for various reasons.

"Quiet."

A voice, issued from the tower, echoed in everyone's ears.

"Your arrival has already interfered with our pursuit of knowledge."

The voice was old and slightly angry, but most importantly, this voice could be uttered with the help of the tower, which undoubtedly indicated that the believers in the tower here had already mastered some of the power of the tower.

"The ignorant are fearless, and we don't blame it. Yet it breaks my heart that so many bright minds die of ignorance. Now, perhaps, it's time to show you a thing or two about the world, and let the truth in your rusty brains , share one or two truths we know!"

As soon as the words fell, the killer's face changed suddenly, and he raised his hand to press his forehead.

"what happened to you?"

"Don't you feel it? No... what are those things?"

The killer's eyes widened and he began to look around. Although his expression hadn't changed drastically, the sense of surprise had already been fully revealed.This kind of situation didn't just happen to him, everyone around except the tourists fell into this kind of anomaly.

Ying Caiyi didn't know what was wrong with her, she felt that her vision seemed to be covered with a layer of blood, and what she stepped on was no longer the ground, but a fluffy substance.There are all kinds of blood connections between people, and the shadow of a huge monster crouches behind them.Ying Caiyi looked at her arm in astonishment, what is that crystallized Lin and carbonized arm?

Is this an illusion?Ying Caiyi has dealt with hallucinatory superpowers before, but has never experienced such hallucinations.She looked at her companions, and the terrified expressions on their faces were not fake.

【This is this world, what is presented before your eyes is nothing but a sham and deceit.This isn't doom at all, the Tower just gives us the knowledge to lift the veil before us.We are trapped in a shell called cognition, and we will be freed from it. 】

Ying Caiyi began to become more and more confused - is she always like this?The appearance of human beings and their previous lives... were just forged?It's hard to imagine such a deception, but what about everything in front of you?

At this moment, a "pure" person came into people's sight.

There were no hideous bloodlines on his body, and there was no phantom of any monster behind him, only a round of pure white light shone on everyone.

Ying Caiyi opened her mouth: "Quiet killing...Master?"

"The world is so stupid, why are there fools? The world here is real and false, like a dream but not a dream, but what is it about the person in the dream?" Jie Sha shook his head lightly, "We meet each other, since it is destined, we will be friends Let this disaster be resolved."

These were the last words Ying Caiyi heard.

Zhao Xihua and Xiao Ronghai were at the front of the convoy, watching the place where Jie Sha walked, people fell down and fell into a dreamland.Then the monk returned and bowed to the two of them.

"Two benefactors, have you ever woken up from the dream?"

"I've never been asleep, so why talk about being sober?" Xiao Ronghai said lightly, "The only thing I didn't expect is that the master of killing is actually alone."

"Hehe, what about benefactor Zhao?"

Zhao Xihua looked at Jie Sha calmly, this gaze made Jie Sha slightly taken aback.

"That's your spiritual essence."

"Indeed." Jie Sha nodded slightly.

"Then you are only here because of the inspiration from material things, and you came here in pursuit of your own spirit. Have you advised the person in the dream to continue this long dream, and have you thought about when you will wake up?" Zhao Xihua seriously asked.

Qui Sha looked serious, but he didn't know how to answer.
