I made a mistake……
There should be some things in this world that should never be touched, and some secrets that should never be discovered... They do exist, but we ignore them.
This is retribution. It will be my turn soon. I am very scared. Lu Ning, I know this request is too much. Please save me. I still——
Garbled characters.
An automatically generated document appeared on Lu Ning's computer. The above content could be said to be a distress signal. Although it seemed to have no beginning or end, Lu Ning immediately realized who sent the message.
Is it Yan Yue? But why is it this way...or why is she able to use this supernatural form to convey messages? Did she receive her message? If that's the case, why didn't you respond immediately?
Thinking of her mission, Lu Ning suddenly noticed a problem.
I met my mentor Fan Xiaoyun and senior sister Yan Yue, but I just had to take Yan Yue out of the Danma range. Does this also imply that Fan Xiaoyun has no hope of being rescued or is it... necessary?
A chill rose in my heart.
She originally thought that the forty-day mission would be enough to investigate and accumulate strength, but even if she didn't waste too much time, her mission was on the verge of failure from the beginning!
"Don't panic, if this was sent by Yan Yue...if it wasn't sent by Yan Yue..." Lu Ning stood up and began to slowly circle around the room. The danger that this time was not a central mystery made her fully aware of her own shortcomings in planning. As more and more things came to her mind, she gradually lost track of the key points.
At this moment, a few fireworks suddenly lit up in the distant sky, and colorful fireworks exploded in the air, which was really beautiful. Seeing this scene, Lu Ning realized that there was a rehearsal for the Frost Day Celebration tonight. These fireworks were probably a preview of the ignition device, and they were also considered to be fun before the festival.
In this way, Shu Xingruo and others have been rehearsing in the past few days. The two addresses she sent are likely to be the places where they will rehearse later. This is the only way to exchange information.
No - that's not what I meant!
An idea flashed in Lu Ning's mind, and she immediately began to inquire about the celebrity group's itinerary in Danma - since there is a promotional video, these have probably been announced online.
Looking at it this way, although it is not fully booked every day, there are indeed a lot of interviews, fan activities and other things. In addition, there are also many entertainment-related schedules. The interview with Danma Daily on July 12th and the opera listening session at the Quyi Garden on July 14th are both on this long list.
In this case, the purpose of Shu Xingruo specifically naming these two places is... to ask for help?
Danma Daily, Shen Xinyue's workplace is there. In other words, Shen Xinyue is probably the person Shu Xingruo can turn to for help there. If the conditions are similar, there should be someone in the Red Sleeve Folk Art Theater who can help. Without the help of a private identity, the person who can help is probably a "crow" from the distribution center, and this leads to another inference.
"Shu Xingruo, Shen Xinyue, people from the Red Sleeve Theater, and X as an intermediary to communicate. These people are almost certainly in the same camp. This mission provides them with the conditions to quickly gather. In other words, if they cannot unite quickly, they It's the weak side. It seems that Shu Xingruo has also considered this issue, and her request for help - no, this is a rally."
Lu Ning doubted whether she was overthinking it. Two times and places required others to infer this to such an extent. Is this really what Shu Xingruo asked of her?
The answer is obvious, no.
Shu Xingruo just gave her a chance to join that group at the right time and place. She didn't just want people from the same camp, but also all possible allies. Whether Lu Ning can think more is not a consideration. As long as she believes and goes there, things will develop naturally.
On the other hand, Lu Ning's absence would not hinder the team.
"ha……"
Lu Ning rubbed her temples and threw herself on the sofa. As expected, everyone was investigating Danma's weirdness at their own pace, and Shu Xingruo just did the most important thing to do at the moment:
Gather everyone together.
"I have tried to notify them as much as possible, although many people have not responded..."
"enough."
Shu Xingruo was leaning on the sofa, holding a bug in his hand and tossing it around. Compared to the tension he had felt these days, Shu Xingruo finally felt a little relieved.
A monitoring device she had pretended to destroy accidentally had not been repaired, which meant that the other party did not respond so quickly, and might not even pay attention to her situation at all. Although this means that the other party's surveillance scope is wider, it is a good thing for her personally.
"How many people do you think will come then?"
On the other side of the phone, Han Yin still remained skeptical.
Through the channels of the explorers and personal relationships, it stands to reason that more than ten people should have arrived at the Danma Daily Building the day after tomorrow. This number has exceeded the total number of explorers, and may be equivalent to the uh camp with the largest number of people.
However, would these people really rush to a party without knowing the details?
"They will come. Everyone who has survived several testing venues has strong confidence in themselves. Moreover, every invitation we send gives them something to rely on. In this case, even if it is just a joke, there are Why not?"
"But then..."
"Don't worry, if everyone is here, nothing will happen. Besides, the party on the 12th is just an outpost... I can't go there."
"What? Then when the time comes..."
"Someone will help me take care of everything. You just have to go there when the time comes. By the way, what are your personal goals?"
"...I'm sorry, I don't want to tell anyone."
Shu Xingruo smiled, said goodbye and hung up the phone without asking any more questions.
Many people are destined to have trouble sleeping this night.
Just after midnight, Lu Ning, who was lying in bed checking online information, received a safe text message from Xiao Shifan——
[We have received Ye Fei. She is safe and has returned to the hotel. We will contact you tomorrow. 】
Ye Fei was brought back safely? That would be a good thing... at least we can understand what happened there and why someone died.
I was thinking about the events of the past few days and fell into a deep sleep without realizing it.
…
The heads of the humans submerged in the mud finally emerged from the other side, and the mud stained their heads and faces slid down their skin - their clothes were completely gone, and everyone was walking neatly and slowly as if they were new. He stepped onto the shore from the other side of the quagmire and walked into the unfathomable darkness in the distance, without knowing where he was going.
A hole appeared in the sky. Lu Ning intuitively felt that she could no longer observe this scene, and her body was flying uncontrollably towards the sky at this moment - straight into the hole. When she felt it again, she had already It's the Vast Nebula.
She shuttled through the nebula like a meteor. Between the birth and death of countless stars, the universe evolved into an increasingly complex galaxy composition. Time and space gradually became blurred, and then——
She saw the light.
"!!!"
Lu Ning stood up, and the morning light shone through the slits in the curtains, slightly dazzling her face. She couldn't help but squint her eyes, stretched out her hand to touch her neck, and found that the cold sweat on her body had not subsided.
"What on earth... was I dreaming about?"
She grabbed the backpack placed at the foot of the bed and took out the string of jade stones. Surprisingly, the black evil aura on it was now much lighter. It could be said that half of the evil aura had disappeared.
This is not normal... It stands to reason that evil spirits should accumulate more power as they act as monsters. I have never heard of evil spirits being able to transform into evil spirits.
It seems necessary to make that call.
Before that, Lu Ning checked the messages on her phone. Yuan Xi said that there was an important matter to discuss today, and he could only come back to deal with last night's issues. Xiao Shifan took Ye Fei to look for Song Baoguo's body. The specific situation was not explained in detail. It seems that although the attitude of the two was somewhat relieved. , still have reservations about her.
But this is to be expected.
Soon, Lu Ning dialed the number given to her by the fat man Jiang Tong in the antique shop. Without waiting for too long, a lazy-sounding man answered the phone.
"Who...don't know I'm still sleeping so early?"
Lu Ning glanced at the clock in the room, it was just past eight-thirty.
"The day's plan starts in the morning. Business is coming, boss."
At the same time, Yuan Xi also met a capable young man in the municipal office.
"Good morning, both of you. I am the person solely responsible for Miss Yuan Xi's investment discussions this time. My name is Kong Si."
The young man had a ceremonial smile on his face and his posture was very humble, but he did not put it too low. It's not like Yuan Xi has never seen such a smart-looking person, and she doesn't hate dealing with such people.
"So, what should I call you?"
"Oh, although I still have some personal duties, my main job is to be the mayor's secretary. Just call me Secretary Kong. I didn't know you..."
"That's great. Mayor Xiang Wenhai is still so busy? I remember I said hello very early."
"Yes, I'm really sorry. Because the celebration is approaching recently, the mayor has to check everywhere every day. In fact, people like us are so busy that we don't even have time to eat. We even want to recruit a few temporary workers to help. !" Kongsi said half-jokingly, "But Ms. Yuan Xi's investment plan is also serious. The development of Danma requires large companies to come here to develop it. History has given us a good inspiration."
"Okay, but you also need to know that I am just conducting a preliminary inspection. Although I personally have certain decision-making power... But if you want me to convince the board of directors, you need some practical things." Yuan Xi chuckled, "Kong How about the secretary take me around Danma today and introduce the advantages here?"
"Of course I listen to you." Kongs took out a folder from the drawer, "It just so happens that the Frost Day Celebration is also a local feature. If you don't mind, we can start here, how about it?"
The two of them talked harmoniously, as if they were really just an investor and a government official discussing matters.
