Returning from the abyss

Chapter 844 Rose Street
What should she see?
After being said by that sentence, Lu Ning subconsciously thought about the meaning of this sentence, and then she felt her fingers were a little stiff, as if they had been glued to the camera, and the camera followed the protagonist's route uncontrollably. Offset, that's actually not what Lu Ning's camera needs to shoot.

But the director didn't call to stop, no, Lu Ning wasn't sure if she could hear the director's voice, she could only concentrate on watching the shooting on the screen.

The protagonist sneaked into the mansion as a servant, of course not from the main entrance.Chai Ying's acting skills are good, at least from the shooting point of view, he really deduces the appearance of an avenger who is cautiously close to his enemy.But soon, Lu Ning saw something in the camera that did not exist in reality—a person.

He was dressed in the same clothes as the costume and stood among the servants, but there was no such a person in reality.Lu Ning couldn't see his face clearly, as if it was covered by frosted glass.If she tried to adjust the focal length of the lens, she could actually find that the face could be made clear by this method, but Lu Ning still chose to stay still.

The man turned his head and glanced at Lu Ning, as if smiling.The blurred face opened a gap at the position of the mouth, "he" raised his finger, and pointed to the side lightly, Lu Ning looked over there, and found that there was a corner gate of the yard, which was exactly The door through which the protagonist enters.

"Card."

Wei Zhan suddenly shouted, allowing Lu Ning to regain control of her body.Wei Zhan waved his hand, telling people to take a rest first, and then he started to watch the section just shot to see if there is anything that could be better.Chai Ying and several other main characters also came over to start a discussion.

Lu Ning thought for a while, found Ke Daolin next to her, and whispered to her what she had just seen.

"Are you going to follow the instructions of that kind of thing?" Ke Daolin pondered for a moment, "This may be the way to open up the situation, or it may be a road of no return, and the probability of the latter is higher."

"I know, but I want to give it a try." Lu Ning said, "Since the other party invited us, we can't show weakness."

"Before four o'clock." Ke Daolin glanced at her watch, "If you don't come back, then I will find a way to find you and unite all tourists."

"Thank you."

After getting ready, Lu Ning quickly walked to the corner door, and she took a look outside, but there was nothing unusual.She took a deep breath, and then rushed out through the corner door.

=
Breathe.

The black stone slabs on the street were soaked in water, and the damp breath permeated with a strong fragrance and stench.The smell was like bad perfume that failed to mix, and the smell was like feces.

Lu Ning remembered seeing it somewhere, that after diluting the smell ten million times, you can get the fragrance, and the two have the same origin.It's just that what is she thinking about all this mess now?
It took a few seconds for Lu Ning to recognize the current environment.

A city with black and gray as the main tone, the streets are very wide, at least as spacious as a modern four-lane road, but the buildings on both sides of the street are in a relatively dilapidated state, and they are not the kind of pure ruins, just intuitively. They are all in disrepair.The buildings are all masonry structures, and the style is not uniform. Because the sky is dark, you can only see about 30 meters away.And within this range of vision, she only saw one living person.

A skinny beggar squatted on a curved step.He only wore a dirty rag from the waist down, a gray turban on his head, a disheveled beard hanging down his chest, a pair of cloudy eyes turned white, and he could smell his body from afar The smell of alcohol and ammonia.In any case, he was the only person Lu Ning could find so far, so she walked over.

The beggar stared at Lu Ning with his white eyes, and he made some grunts like those of a drowning person. His voice was jammed and hoarse, and it took several seconds for him to turn into syllables that could be understood.

"A person... a boat... oh, oh."

"What ship?" Lu Ning asked.

The beggar let out a hey laugh. He patted his palm lightly, then pointed at Lu Ning and shouted, "Are you alone? You came to this kind of place alone?"

"What is this place?" Lu Ning asked.

After hearing this question, the beggar spent half a minute "thinking", and then pointed to a dirty hanging sign on the opposite room.

There is a rose pattern on the listing, if you don't consider the stains on it, it seems that the pattern is quite delicate.

"Rose...Rose Street." The beggar whispered, "Moored, soul, a ship that has lost its anchor will disappear into the harbor. You...you are a person, can a person come here?"

"Why can't a person come here?"

"Anchor, it's too easy to lose. Do you like it here? I don't like it very much, but I can't find my way back, it's like a fog..." the beggar muttered, "I can see an anchor on you It's solid, but not strong enough. One person, one boat, this is not a harbor, this is a cemetery."

Lu Ning sighed slightly, pointed to the room with the rose sign and asked, "Is there anyone in that room? Can I knock on the door?"

"Knock... Rose, Miss Rose will tear you to pieces." The beggar laughed, "Do you want to anchor? Then you should go forward, a safer place. Nightingale, there is Nightingale you."

"That means you can knock on the door, but is there a risk?"

Lu Ning didn't know if she was crazy, but she was really understanding every word of the beggar.She was able to understand some metaphors, but more was like crazy.

"Red, red, the color of roses, they are all red. Miss Rose, the sharp and charming Miss Rose... woo..." The beggar actually started to cry, Lu Ning could only shake her head when she saw that she couldn't continue communicating. Turned around and walked towards the door of the house where the rose was listed.

There was a clean smell of blood in front of the door.If you want to compare it, it's like a hospital or something. Humans use some kind of tool to use blood in an orderly manner, which doesn't bring people a sense of fear.Lu Ning didn't know why she had such a feeling, but she just paused for a moment, then raised her hand and knocked on the door.

After three soft beeps, silence returned.There was only the sobbing of the beggar behind her, Lu Ning did not continue to knock, she had a strange feeling, as if she had a certain connection with the people in the room.She knew that the other party was coming, and even... could feel the other party's footsteps, the feeling of stepping on the old carpet, the feeling of holding something in her hand, and the door was in front of her eyes.

Lu Ning took a small step back, the door was suddenly pulled open from the inside, and a woman in a rose-patterned nightgown stood at the door, holding a utility knife in her hand.

"Ok?"

Both sides let out a surprised hum at the same time.

There is no doubt that the person in front of Lu Ning has an appearance that is almost exactly the same as her own, at most a few years younger.The other party also recognized Lu Ning's appearance, and the knife in his hand stopped half-waving.

"You actually look like me." "Miss Rose" had a nasty smile on her lips, "It's really unpleasant to look at."

"It seems that you are a person who can communicate normally... No, I think we may have a deeper connection." Lu Ning ignored the malice in the other party's words.

"Two identical faces—it would be strange if there was no connection. But it doesn't prevent me from being an eyesore. Maybe I should peel off your face and hang it at the door to remind those trash who dare to knock on the door casually!"

Miss Rose stabbed the utility knife directly at Lu Ning, but she didn't seem to know much about martial arts. Lu Ning easily grabbed the opponent's wrist first, and then snatched the pistol from the opponent's hand with a twist. Blade, then stumbled, but unexpectedly, Miss Rose slipped, and immediately broke free from her grip, and shrank back into the door.

"It turned out to be a guy with some skills, but I have dealt with people like you a lot!"

"We can fight at any time, but before that, I hope you can tell me what's going on here. I can already feel the boiling power in your body, so you don't feel anything about me? Lu Ying ?” Lu Ning said calmly.

"Miss Rose" was stunned for a moment, then narrowed her eyes and looked at Lu Ning carefully, the cruelty on her face subsided a lot.

"I didn't expect it to be you."

"I didn't expect to meet you here." Lu Ning shrugged, "Take it as after-sales service, should you tell me how you are doing and why you are here?"

"Because this is Rose Street." Lu Ying restrained her posture and made way for Lu Ning, "Come in, anyone who gets lost here will easily disappear forever, and it doesn't matter if you die, but it's better not on Rose Street. "

"why?"

"A ship without an anchor will eventually become a legend of a ghost ship." Lu Ying hummed softly, "Be careful of those dazed souls, they keep grabbing, just to snatch things that will never be available."

"What song is this?"

"The singing that is circulating on the ruins is said to be floating on a ghost ship." Lu Ying led Lu Ning into a dark room, then snapped her fingers, and suddenly sparks lit up on the wall, and she clicked An oil lamp hung on the wall was lit, bringing some dim light into the room.

Lu Ning noticed that there were scratches on everything in this house.

"Your super power..."

"Of course I still keep it. Speaking of which, it is necessary to thank you. After all, without you, I would never have obtained such a superpower. By the way, I am now naming it [Wound Surface Sculpture], because I have grown I don’t plan to use the name you gave me anymore, how about it?”

Lu Ying's character is still bad, Lu Ning has long known that she is a villain in essence, but Lu Ning doesn't care about her viciousness.

"After I leave, everything will be returned to you. You are free to do what you like. Now I just want to know what this place is. Rose Street? Or the broken ruins you just mentioned? I need an explanation."

"If you want a too specific explanation, I can't explain it to you. Because even I only dare to hide here. As long as I dare to leave this room for more than one kilometer, my safety will not be guaranteed."

"So where does the danger come from?" Lu Ning asked along.

Lu Ying lifted a teapot from the side and poured herself a cup of cold tea.

"This is the harbor."

She put the cup on the table, but did not pour a cup for Lu Ning.Her face was a little gloomy, and her fingers kept rubbing the edge of the teacup. After a long time, she continued: "Generally speaking, a person like you alone cannot enter the harbor. You are located in your inland area. You and There is a natural barrier here, unless you are extradited here."

"Very likely, but exclude that, what's the matter with the harbor?"

"I can't describe it. It's big, but it's too close to the sea. This is the last anchor point, or the common anchor point. Those who are lost and wandering must rely on this link to maintain normality. If the anchor point If broken, they will become unknown beings floating in the sea, we call them ghost ships."

"You said too many things I don't know." Lu Ning pointed out.

Lu Ying sneered: "You don't need to know, it would be bad if you know too much, understand? Even I dare not understand, why do you want to dig into the root of the problem when you are new here? You haven't lost your own anchor point, you can still go back Go to your interior."

"I don't know how to go back. And I don't count as being here by mistake. There must be someone who 'extradites' me. Shouldn't I figure out what his purpose is?"

"It shouldn't be." Lu Ying said firmly, "It's for the sake of our acquaintance, no matter who that person is, you don't care about it, live in your inland, it's best not to come to the port forever here."

"How to go back?" Seeing her insistence, Lu Ning gave up asking directly.

"Your clearest anchor points your way, Lu Ning." Lu Ying grinned, "And you have a very clear one. Of course, you can't see it because your thinking is still normal. It's a little too far. I can help you, but I can't help people in vain—the fact that I didn't kill you is already very different from me."

"Your condition is even worse than when we parted, but since you didn't ask for help, you probably don't need my help. By the way, I still have a question." Lu Ning said again.

"what?"

"The beggar outside finally said 'There's Nightingale'. It's a coincidence, isn't it a special coincidence? Nightingale and Rose, I want to know who that Nightingale is?" Lu Ning asked.

"You know it." Lu Ying picked up the teacup, "Of course it's that one, no, it's the group of Dr.Ds who have lost their individual consciousness."
