Bubbles kept popping up one after another in the black mire, and human bones were soaked in the putrid mud, faintly showing a green color.
A queue marching like zombies walked into this dead area one after another until the mud covered their entire bodies. Lu Ning, who was overlooking all this, could not feel any panic or sadness, as if all this was natural.
When I opened my eyes, there was already bright light outside, and even with the curtains blocking it, I still felt a little bit hot.
The air conditioner has stopped due to timing. Judging from the fact that Danma is still cool in the morning and evening, it is probably noon now. Lu Ning didn't know why she was so tired, and she couldn't remember much of the nightmare she just had.
She rubbed her eyes, unplugged the charging plug of the mobile phone on the bedside - the battery of the mobile phone had returned to normal in this test site, so charging was necessary - and glanced above.
More than twenty messages.
Most of them were messages from Cheng Wuling. She didn't seem to care about why there was no reply from her, she just sent the messages she got one by one. There were two messages from Shu Xingruo, both of which were about time and place, without any mention of anything.
July 12, ten o'clock in the morning, third conference room on the fourth floor of Danma Daily Building.
July 14th, 9pm, Box 3 on the second floor of Hongxiu Folk Art Theatre.
Today is July 8th.
Lu Ning had not made any plans to go. Although the message was from Shu Xingruo, the trust between the two was not that strong. She also had to consider whether the other party was hostile to her.
Cheng Wuling's information is much more useful. Not only is there a list of all the actual people in power in the black and white circles of Danma, but there is also information about the origins, preparations, and related projects of the Frost Day Celebration. The most useful information is about this test site:
[The two camps that have been determined are the pursuers and the explorers. The mission is unknown and whether they are hostile is unknown. The seekers seemed to have the greatest numbers. 】
Although it was only the simplest level of camp information, Lu Ning would not forget the name of this testing site: Seekers of the Holy Code.
As for the camp of the Secret Explorers, it seems to be in opposition to their own Hidden Persons just from a literal perspective. It's just that the Hidden Man can only fight alone. Isn't it much more difficult to face people from a camp? Or is it that the other camp’s missions will also limit the possibility of joining forces?
Things seem to be getting more and more interesting.
Lu Ning jumped out of bed, changed her clothes, and quickly left the room.
She is going to three places today: Avery Cathedral, the Clock Memorial Hall and the Danmar Historical Museum.
These three places are directly related to the ten strange rumors of Danma. Avery Cathedral corresponds to the city's rapidly declining crime rate in recent years. Originally, as a place with local gangs and various major forces intertwined, the chaos in Dammar has always been high. However, in recent years, Avery Cathedral has become famous for its extremely high "reinforcement rate". It seems that many evil people or have been imprisoned. After going to church out of compulsion or out of curiosity to confess, I have never done any evil again.
The Clock Memorial Hall corresponds to the rumor of the "Curse Bell". Among the various clocks collected in the memorial hall, there is a clock that can make people lose their sense of time. This distortion can even interfere with reality and cause many incomprehensible phenomena. The exact location of the Cursed Bell is unknown, but it is certainly present in the memorial.
The legend of the Danma Historical Museum is "the blank history that was erased." Although there are written records of the history of Danma since the founding of the People's Republic of China, in fact these records are incomplete, and part of the history has been "deleted" in some way, not only from the records, but even from people's memories. These times exist. The only place that still records those historical fragments is the Danma Historical Museum.
These urban legend-like rumors might just be a chat topic for others, but since they were mentioned on the envelope to me, it means that at least most of them are real things.
When Lu Ning was about to leave, she saw the blue cloth package placed on the table.
Did she...had a nightmare last night?
Shu Xingruo is sitting in his room now.
I have never experienced the status of a superstar when I was alive, but now I have experienced it. In order to prepare for the Frost Day celebration, Mayor Danma invited five well-known figures in the domestic entertainment circle to Wenhai. Shu Xingruo, a star of music, film and television, became one of the five unlucky ones.
That's right...unlucky guy.
As VIPs, the five celebrities and their entourage were naturally treated to the highest standards, and their accommodation was also an apartment-style hotel. Both the itinerary and the reward were extremely satisfactory, until Shu Xingruo discovered various monitoring devices in the room.
She also understands that some TV shows will use this method to create unexpected explosions, but she is not participating in a reality show!
Bugs, hidden cameras, and more small machines whose purpose she couldn't identify were scattered throughout the room, including in private areas like the toilet and bathroom! Shu Xingruo realized almost instantly that this was not a situation where he could file a complaint. After she made an excuse to visit several other celebrities, she discovered that the others were also being monitored.
Only then are the few text messages sent before.
Who is the other party? What do you want to do? Shu Xingruo didn't think this was a kidnapping issue. In her current capacity, the itinerary was clearly announced on the Internet. If anything happened, there would definitely be no peace in Danma. And since she checked in last night, she only got a rehearsal plan and an itinerary.
It was an agent who opened the situation.
This young man named Han Yin was the agent of another celebrity, but he secretly gave her a business card during dinner. This business card not only has regular contact information, but also a series of numbers.
"My name is Han Yin, and I am a mystery explorer like you."
This was the first thing the other said after the two found the opportunity to be alone.
"Shu Xingruo."
"Don't be nervous. The reason I'm sure it's you is because my prompt message contains the names of all six of us explorers." Han Yin is a young man who looks very serious, and what he said seems quite credible. .
"all?"
"To make a long story short, we have to cooperate. Now you probably find yourself under full surveillance, but our agents don't have this problem. You are the only 'tourist' among the five stars that I can confirm, and your identity is also very important."
"Do you know the reason?" Shu Xingruo asked.
"I don't know either. I can only confirm that this is a method arranged by Danma. In addition, not only the rooms, but also your main activity venues in the future have also been equipped with surveillance measures."
Shu Xingruo did not panic after hearing this, but nodded thoughtfully.
"What? Did you find any reason in your identity background that you would be monitored?"
"That's a secret." Shu Xingruo smiled slightly, "But I can tell you that at least my current situation is not that bad. What matters now is your activities - if I guessed correctly, in the next one or two days Within, your ability to complete contact with the outside world is the key to future success or failure."
Han Yin frowned after hearing this and suddenly realized: "Yes, the information we got is too fragmented. This test site needs information integration..."
"More than that, I think our identities are also important, not just you and me, but everyone - the information we hold and the information we can obtain are all different, but you are more important. Yes, you are now my only channel to convey information to the outside world."
Not for the general public, but for "tourists."
"But this is a camp testing ground..." Han Yin was still hesitant.
"The prerequisite for winning or losing is to survive. Since you already know the list of our camp, you have the responsibility to contact us." Shu Xingruo said immediately, "You can put the information later. The key issue now is to determine the end." Whose situation is more dangerous!"
Things like attrition at the start of the show would have such a serious impact on the whole team. Shu Xingruo had suffered losses before, so he was extremely wary of this kind of thing at the moment.
"I see."
Avery Cathedral.
The Western-style church was not particularly out of place in Danma. When Lu Ning came outside the church door, she found that there were really many people here.
Those who took pictures with their mobile phones and cameras were out-of-town tourists, while more locals walked directly into the church.
Two young girls in nun uniforms stood at the door handing out small bread wrapped in paper bags. Through the bustling crowd, you could vaguely see the cathedral inside, as well as the light shining through the colored fragments of glass.
A pious and holy chorus melody entered her ears. Although she could not understand the content, Lu Ning actually felt comfortable just listening to this hymn. Even the scorching sun above her head became much gentler.
This is a very special place.
Lu Ning followed the people and walked in. The interior decoration of the church is just like what has been depicted in various film and television works that I have seen, with a solemn and religious atmosphere. The white decorative pillars on both sides are engraved with patterns that seem to be gods, and the walls are painted with huge mysterious runes in gold and silver colors. If you look at them for a long time, you will even feel like your mind is being absorbed.
In front of the altar in the church, stood a young priest with blond hair and blue eyes. The rows of benches were already filled with believers who came to listen. There are some nuns and monks scattered around, with the same pious and expectant expressions on their faces. In such an atmosphere, people who just came in to visit could not help but lower their voices and movements.
Lu Ning would not be infected by such an atmosphere. She stood behind a decorative pillar and looked carefully, and found that there were two people watching the priest in the shadows in the corner. The two people were wearing sportswear that facilitated movement, but Lu Ning couldn't see their faces clearly.
One of them was almost surrounded by rich red blood, while the other one was simply blurry.
Even if I control the power of my eyes, I still get the same result.
