After the two took the pills, Luke suddenly stuck out his tongue and then smacked his lips.
"This thing tastes so bad."
"Considering that you have to eat it yourself, why don't you adjust the taste in advance?" Lu Ning snorted lightly.
"I'll pay attention next time. Look, are both of us okay? I just said that our luck is very good... Can you please pick two more?"
Lu Ning reluctantly took out two of them, weighed them in her hands, then put one back and took out another one. She pushed the one in her hand to Luke and took the newly taken one. .
Seeing this scene, Luke couldn't help laughing. He took the pill and said, "It is true that the weight of these pills is different because they are lumped together, but it does not mean that the weight can distinguish between poisonous and non-toxic. Otherwise, why would I let you choose?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Lu Ning threw the pill directly into his mouth.
Luke shook his head and took his own pill, then waited for half a minute and opened his hand to signal: "Look, isn't it okay if I take this pill?"
Lu Ning stared at his face for a long time, without waiting for the poisonous hair to appear, before returning her gaze to the bottle.
In the third round, there are still six non-toxic ones and ten poisonous ones. Now the chance of poisoning is already very high.
"What drives you to act according to your identity? After all, even if we give up, it's not necessarily a dead end." Lu Ning couldn't help but ask.
"Are you a newcomer? Or do you score high in every game?" Luke thought for a while and asked.
"Newcomer."
"Amazing. Compared to you, I am a person who has stayed at the second level for a long time." He stretched out his hand to signal Lu Ning to continue taking the medicine. "I have gone through many tasks and even challenged to upgrade twice, but the upgrade failed. It puts a lot of burden on me, and soul pollution also requires a lot of points to be earned, so I am unwilling to give up the option."
"pollute?"
"This is probably a very important reason. Although I know that this is the case, my soul is already very weak... I think this may be the effect of lysis, although I will not be completely replaced by this killer's character. , but its impact is unavoidable," Luke said.
Lu Ning threw the newly selected pills to him. She was not in a hurry to take her own pills, but waited for Luke to continue.
"When we choose to upgrade to the second level, there is no longer any way out. The result of staying here is a vicious cycle. Although the distribution center will provide many considerate services, they are not a charity after all." Luke He put the pill into his mouth and swallowed it without chewing. As a result, his face changed instantly.
Just as Lu Ning was about to eat, she stopped when she saw the change in his expression.
Luke hurriedly stood up, poured a glass of water, drank it, took a deep breath, coughed twice, and said somewhat uncomfortably: "Damn it... why are these pills so big? They almost choked me to death!"
"..."
Lu Ning was speechless and put her own into her mouth.
Still nothing happened this round.
"Now I am almost sure that there is nothing wrong with my luck, and your luck is also very good - Lu Ning, if you can leave alive, you can keep upgrading until you get the chance to be resurrected." Luke said slowly After a while, he sat back down and looked at Lu Ning more cautiously.
"Then let's let this game end here."
"No, if I can beat you, maybe I can inherit your luck, and pass the promotion test smoothly... Please choose the next pill." Luke's eyes were a little red due to coughing. , but his expression has become more and more excited, and he is just suppressing it.
"My father died in this way, right? You forced him to play a game of luck, but he lost to you. His gunshot wound was also caused by his own suicide. So are you playing Russian roulette?"
Lu Ning took out two pills and gave one to Luke. She also raised her own and put it to her mouth, and the two of them took it at the same time.
"That's right, a Russian roulette wheel loaded with five bullets." Luke nodded, "Spin and shoot once, and your father got to the third round. This is almost impossible in the real world, so I say luck. This kind of thing is really true in this world—"
His expression changed, and he raised his hand to touch the top of his lips, where warm liquid was flowing out of his nostrils.
"I...I'm still...a little short..."
"Poison."
Lu Ning, who was opposite, put the fingertips of her hands together on the table and tilted her head slightly.
Not only his nostrils, Luke's eyes and ears gradually began to bleed, and the corners of his mouth began to turn red.
"It turns out...the distribution center...the designated strong luck...also has a limit..."
He looked at Lu Ning and actually laughed.
"You... are better... so... it's not... embarrassing..."
"Do you want to say that I have better luck?" Lu Ning took the medicine bottle and looked at it, "As I said, although luck can be included as a variable in the plan, it is completely undesirable to rely entirely on it. "
She casually took out three pills and threw them all into her mouth like jelly beans.
Luke's eyes suddenly widened.
"This poison works very quickly, but unfortunately the smell is too strong, so it's not easy to use for assassinations. It can only be used in an environment like yours. Well, maybe there are other ways to use it..."
"Why you……"
"Do you remember how Holmes determined that the pills were poisonous? Just cut some and feed them to the dogs. I think I can also pick out the poisonous ones and reuse them. Do you think this poison can be extracted? I have to think about it. I don’t know anyone in this area…”
Lu Ning threw the remaining pills into his mouth one by one, then stood up and walked to Luke who was already slumped on the table. He raised his hand and pointed a thin sword from the sword cart at his temple.
"If you come up with some serious bet, I will find another way to deal with you, but since it is this bet, it doesn't matter if I chat with you."
"I do not……"
"Ah, you didn't lose. How do I know if I took poison before?" Lu Ning gently moved the sword chariot forward, ending Luke's life. The next moment, her bracelet bounced off with a click and fell to the ground, along with the one on Luke's wrist.
Then, she opened the lockbox, took out her ID card, took Luke's briefcase and counted the contents, searched Luke again, packed up everything she could take away, opened the door and left. this room.
The weather outside is a bit cold, and people on the street looking for evil scriptures still show no intention of stopping even after dark. Lu Ning left in the crowd without attracting anyone's attention.
"Ghost Granny is really efficacious...it seems like I have to make up for the hexagram gold again."
Lu Ning returned to District 10. The black market was now closed, leaving only a group of scoundrel seekers inside. But after Lu Ning learned that there was special information on HELLSPEED, she was not optimistic about these people at all.
She quickly walked to the incense shop. After entering, Guo Mengyu quickly closed the door, and then asked her: "How was it?"
"I got some information, but it's a pity that the person who opened the door didn't see it... Why do you look at me like that? I will definitely not leave tomorrow." Lu Ning turned around and caught a glimpse of Guo Mengyu's strange eyes.
"No...it just feels a bit strange..." Guo Mengyu turned her head to one side.
Lu Ning just released his soul from the paper man and reassembled his body. She glanced at the paper man who was tied up according to her disguise and knew what was wrong with Guo Mengyu.
"Tear this paper man apart. There should be something inside...can you clean it out? I ate something today just to look like it."
"oh oh."
"Where is my body?"
"You can move it in the cabinet yourself. I'll take care of this paper man." Guo Mengyu hurriedly carried the paper man and ran to the back of the store.
Lu Ning took out some of Luke's relics from the briefcase.
He still has a huge credit limit on his personal consumption credit card, plus some other special membership cards and savings cards, and the money problem has been completely solved. Lu Ning found the password from a palm-sized note pad, as well as Luke's notes that looked like last words.
[I'm going to meet Lu Ying today. I will use this identity to complete the bet in the proper way. This should be enough. Or be killed, then I have no complaints, after all, I can't help myself. But what I am not willing to accept is that as a person who wants to be resurrected, he will be affected by a manic killer. Am I not qualified? I must have given up in my heart...]
Lu Ning turned over this page, but behind it was a record that was earlier in time.
[I met Dr. D and understood his abilities. Under that fear, I succumbed... I became an agent. However, I had no idea what exactly this was, but at least I could go anywhere I wanted to part of the industry managed by Dr. D. I saw the real him - the core of Dr. D. Although I only peeked from a distance, I was sure.
There are twenty-three of them in total, including the core. It's not the ability to clone or transform, it's twenty-three individuals with independent thinking abilities, but they are commanded by a core. The underground Colosseum in District 4 is where I met him. The other exit of the Colosseum should be in District 10, otherwise I would at least be able to track his departure.
Although his ability is powerful, he doesn't seem to have the means to monitor the entire area. I'm lucky...as lucky as ever. 】
"Four districts?"
Lu Ning really didn't expect it to be there.
However, in this case, I am afraid that the intern doctor who escaped to District 4 was not hunted down because it was still under the control of Dr. D, so there was no need to continue the pursuit. But in this case, what did the managers of the fourth district do? Can I still watch Dr.D put his hand into his own territory with peace of mind?
"What's this?"
Guo Mengyu has finished his work and is carrying two bags in his hand. One of them contains the sword and cart and other weapons that Lu Ning carries with him, while the other contains sixteen pills. The paper man has been destroyed. Press Lu Ning said not to leave too much information.
"Thank you, this is the information Luke found for me about the doctor."
Lu Ning showed Guo Mengyu the page at the back.
"Is this...did he also meet Dr. D?"
"I'm afraid the investigation is too in-depth?"
"Agent? What does that mean? There are twenty-three more... fewer doctors than I thought."
"If nothing else, he should have met someone who specializes in this direction, such as...Dread." Lu Ning glanced at the above description, "And since doctors are a group led by a single core, that core is probably Dominance Something like that, right? A composite group with multiple abilities? It sounds like a troublesome opponent..."
"Can we really destroy this kind of enemy?" Guo Mengyu was already a little doubtful.
"As the lowest level of materialism among the ten evil virtues, the corresponding Dr. D should not be very strong. In fact, it is similar to what I expected." Lu Ning did not think so.
"Not very strong?"
"Of course we are not comparable in terms of strength, but the situation is much better than I thought. Twenty-three people have at most twenty-three abilities. And since so many people are united but can still only occupy a position in one area, at least it shows that he There is no way to directly confront other council members. District Four... is a bit strange. I have to investigate in two days, and I also need to find out the situation of the manager there."
"Thank you for being so motivated now..." Guo Mengyu said with admiration.
"I have already suffered a loss once because the advancement was too slow." Lu Ning put all the things into the pockets of his original body, and then returned his soul.
"Are you leaving? It's really busy."
"If you don't work hard, you will die."
Lu Ning waved her hand.
She had something to do tonight.
District Three, Maura Garno's territory, the reward she promised.
But this time, Lu Ning was finally able to enter the interior of the orphanage.
The interior of the huge building, like a castle, is also full of retro aristocratic beauty. A row of torch-shaped lights guided Lu Ning into Mo La's huge living room - it was a huge hall like an audience with a king.
Moira sat on a stone chair, with the fur cushioning her body extending to the bottom of the steps. On a groove on the armrest of the stone chair beside her was a glass sphere with a human head soaked in liquid.
That face was still rushing toward Lu Ning this morning with a wild and ferocious expression.
"You think about things pretty quickly."
Moira slowly stroked the surface of the glass. It was obvious that she was very happy, and even her tone had a slight uplifting feeling.
"Yes, I am here to seek the reward you promised."
"Say it."
"But before that, as your agent, can you tell me what are the code names used by the current council members? This will also be more beneficial to my future investigation."
Mo La narrowed her eyes and looked at Lu Ning, then nodded slightly after a moment.
"A reasonable request. First of all, our usual contact is through the manager of District Six. The code name of District Six is 'C Loop'. He is also the one who usually plays tricks on the communication system. District Ten is Dr.D , you already know that the code name of District 7 is Eternity. This code name was changed about seven or eight years ago, probably because there was a change of managers there. District 8 is Peter Charlotte, District 9 is Fidia, like me, these two people probably don’t have their real names. The code name of the administrator of the first area is Labillings, which is the labyrinth, the second area is the library, and the fourth area is fantasy. Do you remember it?"
"Uh-huh?"
Lu Ning frowned slightly.
