Lu Ning covered her eyes with her sleeves. When the dark light disappeared from her field of vision, the feeling of depression that seemed to push her head away disappeared, but instead of nothing in her field of vision, there were dots of flames. , very weak, but very noticeable in the total darkness.
This feeling seems familiar. Although the power system may be different, the principles are similar.
The brightest flame came from the direction where Yan Rong and the Knight of Light were fighting. The two blazing fires leaped and moved. For some reason, it made people think of the word "health".
"Just don't look at it." Zhou Weiyuan said, "Of course, this is not easy. The outside world receives more light than inside the building. The effect of this eye mask can only be delayed for a while."
"That's enough. We can hide in other houses, as long as there are no monsters there." Rong Han said.
"But, how can we see clearly..."
When everyone started to cover their eyes, Cang Su whispered.
"Follow me." Xu Jianqi reached out and held her.
Others also had such difficulties. Fortunately for Lu Ning, she had undergone special pathfinding simulation training in a completely dark environment, but certainly not all tourists have this ability.
At this time, Yan Rong had already begun to retreat. Her fighting style was still brave, and she even stabbed the black hole in the heart of the Lantern Knight once. However, these were all in vain. This monster did not seem to have any fatal weaknesses. Instead, it noticed that Lu Ning and others planned to escape, and waved their hands to let the newly born follower pounce on everyone.
"Be careful!" Yan Rong warned, but her teammates were faster to deal with this kind of enemy. Ning Yeyi drew her gun and clicked, and a dozen blue dots instantly appeared on the surface of the follower's dark body, and Teng Zijian quickly took a step forward, flipped a mechanism on the hilt of the curved sword with his fingers, and suddenly exploded with incredible speed, slashing the follower from the top of his head directly to his abdomen with a chaotic flow of air.
There was a crisp cracking sound, and the follower's body was torn apart. The inside of the black substance was not completely black, but it was burned to ashes by the burning flames in an instant, and no one had time to see clearly what it was.
At the same time, with a violent collision, Yan Rong flew up, flipped over in the air and fell to the ground. He escaped from the battle with the help of a shield from the Lantern Knight.
"Let's go!"
She heard the whole discussion just now. At this time, she pulled a piece of clothes over her face, thrust her spear on the ground, jumped up like a pole vault, kicked the window at the end of the corridor to pieces, and was immediately thrown into the air. He went out through the window and landed outside.
She was the queen, yet she was so decisive in retreating... Lu Ning felt that she still had to get used to Yan Rong's style of conduct. But thinking about it at this moment, everyone immediately started to break the windows and escape. The Lantern Knight didn't seem to realize where the person he had just fought with had gone. He stood there for a few seconds. In this time, most of the people jumped out of the window.
But the knight was not a fool after all. When he noticed that his opponent was escaping, he immediately raised his sword and made a charging gesture toward the window.
"Danger!"
Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi worked together to pull down Xu Jianqi and Cang Su, who were the last ones to come out. They didn't even care about being stabbed by the glass. In just half a second, a pillar of fire shot out from the window, with a bang. On the tree outside the window, the already dry trunk suddenly began to burn and began to transform into a black texture.
When everyone was amazed at the long-range attack and power of the Lantern Knight, Lu Ning got up and pulled out a few small pieces of glass stuck in his hands, but his attention was attracted by the situation on the window sill.
That was the broken glass that fell on the windowsill when Yan Rong smashed it. The high temperature generated when the fire pillar penetrated the window melted the glass, and now it has formed a molten slurry, but it is rapidly cooling and solidifying.
Most of the people had already left the patrol range. After one last shot of the pyrogun, the Lantern Knight stopped pursuing them and turned around to walk back into the corridor. After seeing this, Lu Ning reported that it was safe, then quickly covered her eyes, grabbed Ning Yeyi beside her and started to move with the team.
The flames that could be seen indoors could no longer be seen after they came out. Instead, they felt a faint sense of nausea when looking outside. As Zhou Weiyuan said, covering your eyes with a cloth outside will weaken the effect even more.
The tourists have a once and for all solution, but they can do it, but they still have to weigh the pros and cons of the entire scene. Lu Ning understood that if she really came to a life-or-death situation, she would dare to stab herself in the eyes, but that would mean losing more things.
It was not convenient to walk blindly, especially since Lu Ning and others were not familiar with this school. They stumbled many times along the way, and sometimes even had to move the cloth to see if there were any dangerous monsters around. Fortunately, the campus is very big, and monsters don't seem to like wandering around so much. The Lantern Knights who serve as patrols are not all over the campus.
"Cough, cough..." This time it was Zhou Weiyuan's turn to move the cloth and look around. He soon coughed and said, "The star closest to us has fallen below the horizon. Is this possible? better?"
"Well, the most dangerous time in this world is dusk, and maybe dawn. Those burning stars will appear collectively in the sky at dusk. The light is also the most uncomfortable, but about five of them will fall one after another. In addition, Two of the four will move far away from us, and only two will continue in a moon-like manner throughout the night. At that time, the sky will be much darker, and it will be much better to go out and move under that light."
"Are you still going out for activities?" Yan Rong asked in surprise.
"The benefits of the lamp world are very high. The Lantern Knight is difficult to deal with, but lower-level monsters can still be killed. Risks and benefits are always proportional... ugh."
Teng Zijian retched and seemed to be affected.
"You know so much, are you willing to share it now?" Qin Yulou said angrily.
"This is a high-risk world. If you can confront the Lantern Knight...at least she can, then at least the survival rate will be higher. Also, I don't know much about this world. These are some basic information I learned from merchants. So you really want to buy what I don’t have yet and sell it to you.”
"I will listen seriously."
Although there were some language conflicts, everyone was still trying to survive and ran into a building that looked relatively safe.
The whole building was still intact. There were even blind-style curtains on the windows. Once they were closed, no light could pass through at all. In this way, everyone created a dark area, lit their own flashlights and lamps, and then put down their blindfolds. There was a little more fatigue in his expression.
"This... is Building D1." After her mind cleared up a little, Lu Ning began to recall the location of this place on the map. In fact, it is relatively easy to identify. Teaching buildings on university campuses are usually not very high. After all, students often need to rush back and forth between classrooms, but laboratory buildings and office buildings are quite high-rise buildings. Building D1 is the first office building of the school and is also where the principal's office is located. It is 21 stories high and looks very grand in appearance.
This is also where the offices of some distinguished professors and re-appointed professors are located. There are many small conference rooms, suitable for some scientific research teams to hold group meetings. However, this information is of little use now. The point is that this building is very large.
"I think we can find some monsters here." Teng Zijian recovered and suggested, "Strong monsters dare to walk around, while weaker ones will lurk in the shadows. In this kind of building, just avoid those walking around." Monster, we still have a good chance of making a fortune.”
"You really never forget to make money." Yan Rong said.
"Of course, I have a whole team to lead. Liu Shan, Uncle Zhen, you two are coming with me this time." Teng Zijian shook his head, stood up and prepared to take action. On Lu Ning's side, Yan Rong was naturally the first one to be interested in this. She didn't seem to enjoy the battle with the Lantern Knight just now, and now she is still eager to try. Rong Han and Xu Jianqi are still following, and Qin Yulou is also planning to set off this time. Go and see the process of hunting monsters.
But Lu Ning has no interest. Unlike Yan Rong, she is not very interested in pursuing strong strength. She only needs enough strength. Now she is ready to investigate the scene mission.
"Then meet here in two hours. You have to be careful about monsters while you are investigating."
"It's not something like the Lantern Knight or the Treasure Guard that we can handle." Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi waved their hands and sent Yan Rong and others away. Then they went to the corridor to find the floor diagram and began to study it.
"Remember? The mission did not require us to enter any D department building. This is actually very strange. If anyone knows about the abnormality on campus, it is most likely the management." Lu Ning said.
"That's true, but it's also possible that the problem was caused by someone else's private research. The disappearance happened many years ago. If there was a change of principal, then they might not really know about it."
"But the school shouldn't be aware of the fact that someone is missing, and no one has ever mentioned it?"
"Is it really missing?" Ning Yeyi pondered, "Lu Ning, on the surface, this scene is just a world full of monsters switching back and forth. No matter how much it is, it is difficult to reach dawn in time. This mystery needs to be solved. But this is an upgrade scenario, and it will definitely not be that easy. What if we think about it in terms of cognitive interference?"
"That would be a lot more troublesome."
"Do you have a feeling that the real danger is far from appearing? The monsters we encounter now, the spiritually polluted light in the sky, and the transformation of the world... these actually don't worry me. There’s only one thing we’ve encountered so far that has kept us on high alert.”
The two looked at each other and said at the same time: "Xu Hong's death."
Although compared to the monsters that followed, it was just a close encounter, but the cause of Xu Hong's death is still unclear - death is not scary, what is scary is the cause of death. For Lu Ning, This is especially true for one type of person.
"We can only confirm that it was some kind of regular instant death attack, but does it have an internal logic?" Ning Yeyi said as he walked into an unlocked office and started looking for things that might be useful, "In the promotion test Will there be an illogical instant death? If that happens, it just depends on luck."
"At least Xu Hong's death is traceable. He said the word 'water' before he died, which means that he should have been aware of the danger, but was unable to resist. There is no doubt that Xu Hong should be the one here For people who have been living longer, the only question is... where exactly is the water dangerous?"
"I have an idea." Ning Yeyi suddenly said.
"Tell me."
"Xu Hong has nothing left on him. When he sees people, he will yell at monsters. He is obviously in a state of extreme stress or even mental disorder. So could it be that he was originally being chased by monsters for a long time, and then... used that thing? "
"You mean...he smuggled himself across the border?"
"Using the positioning guide can force the world to switch, but what is the difference between affirmation and gradual change? For example, entering a world that conflicts with one's own will lead to instant death... like this?" Ning Yeyi was a little unsure.
"It's possible, according to the information left on your computer, there are thousands of people who have been lost in this multiple worlds before. This is only the part that can be found in the school. But the number of people we saw last time at the merchant was far away. It’s far from enough. Excluding those who were killed at the beginning and those who didn’t go to the merchants, there are only one or two hundred people left? Do you think this survival rate is normal?”
"It's hard to say, it depends on the quality of those people. So what you are saying is that we are evenly distributed and different people appear in different worlds?"
"Probably we were screened from the moment we left the classroom. We didn't see the previously missing people in the corridor outside the classroom, right?"
"But you can travel between worlds through positioning guides, so it's not absolutely impossible to encounter them... In this way, the strength of tourists is dispersed."
Ning Yeyi seemed to be thinking in this direction, but Lu Ning still had some doubts. Judging from the last upgrade, hundreds of people were admitted to the distribution center at one time. After so many tourists were evenly divided, she still didn't see a few. Instead, she saw two targets. This probability is actually Also very low.
Gradient changes probably won't separate people who were originally in the same world, otherwise the team would be of little significance. Teng Zijian and the others were not prepared for this. But there was still something wrong. It should be some easily overlooked issues that she didn't take into account.
"Yes."
Ning Yeyi suddenly whispered in surprise. She didn't find any useful information, so she tried to open the computer in the office. Of course the desktop ones were no longer usable, but unexpectedly I found a laptop that still had power left.
This was a computer for work. Ning Yeyi easily cracked the power-on password. After entering the desktop, he found that there were dozens of folders on it.
Both of them have strong high-speed browsing abilities and quickly found a name in the folder that should not appear on ordinary computers.
【Study on the Lantern Holder】
There are nearly 3G of pictures and text data in the folder.
