The Lantern Corps is still in the process of going upstairs. The huge number brings an overwhelming force advantage, but it also loses the power of individual soldiers. At least the Lantern Knights are now busy picking up all the members who were blown up the stairs. The second floor has not yet continued to advance upwards.
People here have already begun to rush into the annex building along the rope. Those with stronger arms walked to the fifth floor, while those with weaker arms put something on their backs and slid down to the third floor. As for the ropes on the fourth floor, everyone knew that they were reserved for those who were best at encounters.
The person who blew up the overpass must be there.
"The people of Fire Mane are really reliable. Then I'll go over and wait for you."
When Shang Wenxue passed by Yan Rong, he whispered this sentence with a smile, and only Yan Rong and those around him, Lu Ning and Zhou Weiyuan, heard it.
Of course she walked to the fourth floor.
Under such rapid evacuation, there were fewer and fewer people crowded in the corridor, but when there were only about ten people left, a loud roar suddenly came from the window on the fifth floor.
A flying knife flew out of the window and accurately cut the rope. The two people who were climbing on the rope suddenly lost their strength and fell downwards. The people standing near the rope reacted quickly and pulled on this side of the rope, but this only delayed the death of the two people - their height fell to the second floor, which is also the floor where the Lantern Knights currently gather in large numbers.
Two blue arrows were shot from the wall and hit accurately. The body that turned into black matter also lost the strength to hold the rope and fell downwards.
Ning Yeyi drew her gun and pointed it at the window on the fifth floor. She was within range of about ten meters, but from this angle she could only estimate the location of the person who threw the knife.
"I'll go over and take a look!"
She put the pistol back into her waist, jumped on the rope and climbed to the fourth floor. As soon as she set off, the people monitoring the Lantern Corps reported that the Lantern Corps had begun to climb up to the third floor. All members should have gone upstairs.
Upon hearing this, Yan Rong swung his gun and cut the rope on the third floor. Zhou Weiyuan and several other teammates had already gone down before, and breaking the rope was the final warning.
Lu Ning stood by the window, watching the rope hanging down, and immediately turned around and ran towards the stairs of the annex building. The Corps of Lights had already reached the third floor, which meant that they could not stay here for long.
But she had a question in her mind - why could the archer only shoot flatly?
It is understandable that the blue arrow did not fall, so it could not be ejected. But with such penetrating power and lethality, the Lantern Corps could completely penetrate the entire building with a rain of arrows outside the building. Wouldn't that be much easier than slowly entering the building to search like this?
Zhou Weiyuan reached out and pulled Lu Ning up the stairs. The sound of fighting upstairs made Lu Ning take back her thoughts. The fourth floor was obviously in a state of chaos.
A rough estimate of the number of people who came over was fifty or sixty, but with such a numerical advantage, they still couldn't suppress the enemies upstairs, and it even turned into a melee?
Lu Ning was a little confused, but as soon as she went upstairs, she instantly felt an unusual swelling feeling.
"Hey, Zhou Weiyuan! Lu Ning!"
What he saw was the cheerful Shang Wenxue. A piece of her left shoulder was torn open by a sharp blade, and now she was bleeding profusely. She was holding a roll of bandages and bandaging the wound. Lu Ning frowned slightly: "Are you injured? Who hurt you?"
"We are old rivals. It's nothing serious. Those guys must have figured out the rules of space transformation and have now successfully entered the lecture theater. If they don't hurry up, the device will be controlled by them."
"Then why are you happy?" Zhou Weiyuan raised his eyebrows.
"It's nothing, I'm just very excited! Don't worry about these little things, we have to find a way to stop them, right?" Shang Wenxue urged.
At this moment, the swelling feeling suddenly subsided, like an invisible film passing over his body. Lu Ning suddenly felt a ringing in his ears and couldn't help but cover his ears, but at the same time, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped to close to At the freezing point, the terrible cold invaded his limbs and bones, making Lu Ning tremble and shiver.
Space changes are beginning to spread!
The cold was okay. Lu Ning was most afraid of being sent directly into the world of death. Fortunately, she was quite lucky. She didn't feel any abnormality in her body after waiting for several seconds.
"This is so bad~"
Shang Wenxue's voice rang out when she let go, and at this time there was no sound of fighting in the corridor ahead.
Apart from Lu Ning, Shang Wenxue and Zhou Weiyuan, there is no fourth figure in this corridor. Everything fell silent, leaving only the sound of the cold wind howling outside.
"Have we moved to another world?" Lu Ning hurriedly looked around. The ice flowers on the window, the white air brought out by his breath, and the quiet and deep night in the sky were indeed no longer in the world of lights. .
At this moment, a soft sound suddenly came from the corner. Shang Wenxue swung his cane to that side and smashed an ice mouse that jumped out from the darkness. Two metal sounds followed the ice shards falling on it. on the ground.
"Little monsters will also drop some things." Shang Wenxue leaned down and picked up two copper coins, weighed them, and curled his lips slightly, "It's really cold."
"New world, new monsters." Zhou Weiyuan took out the yellow paper and lit it. The slightly pungent smoke rose up with the flames, surrounding the three of them as if they were sane.
"At least we are safe for the time being. There will be no Corps of Lights in this world." Lu Ning pointed to the quiet corridor in front, "We can try to contact the device here."
Zhou Weiyuan nodded: "Let me study the spatial changes here to avoid any further problems."
"How do you research?"
"Can you catch a few of those little animals alive for me to use? Miss Shang..." Zhou Weiyuan said to Shang Wenxue.
"That's no problem, but can you study this spatial change just based on that?"
"There is a concept in magic science called substitution measurement. Without any prerequisites, I certainly can't measure the changes with a few white mice. But the device has been activated by our enemies. For me, there is a first If I have the intelligence in hand, it will take me a little time to restore the control method used by the enemy, and further deduce the spatial change formula they obtained."
Zhou Weiyuan looked quite confident. Shang Wenxue shrugged and turned towards the stairs: "Wait for me for a while."
After Shang Wenxue went downstairs, Zhou Weiyuan and Lu Ning exchanged serious looks.
"The situation over there is probably not good." Lu Ning said, "The other party used a device to split the space and teleport. The numerical advantage will be gone in an instant, not to mention that some people may be killed in the scene because of 'smuggling'."
"But do we need to go back?" Zhou Weiyuan asked, "As you can see, since we have changed the world, there is a high probability that other people have entered other worlds. It is still unknown how many people are left in the world of lights. . Even if we go back, I’m afraid we won’t be able to save anyone, but we may be in danger.”
"Yan Rong, Ning Yeyi, we both have friends whose status is unknown..."
"I don't think Yan Rong is in any danger." Zhou Weiyuan grinned, "I have known her for a while, and she has no major problems except for her straightforward personality, and her strength is a guarantee. I think even if Nothing will happen to her if I die, what about you? Can you trust your friends? "
Lu Ning was silent for a moment and then said: "Ning Yeyi is better than me in terms of comprehensiveness. You are right. I should trust her more... Then let's go in and get the device now?"
"Um."
Zhou Weiyuan sat directly on the cold ground, took out a pen and paper and began to draw some symbols that Lu Ning could not understand.
Lu Ning couldn't do anything else at this time, so she walked closer to the window while keeping watch for Zhou Weiyuan.
This should be the extremely cold world seen in the mirror. The cold wind outside has been blowing, but the biting cold has never weakened at all. Lu Ning wiped the glass with her sleeve, barely opening a small opening that allowed her to see outside.
"Well?"
Lu Ning noticed something was wrong, but she didn't bother Zhou Weiyuan. Instead, she glanced at the night sky outside.
There had never been such a clear night in the previous two worlds. There were a few scattered stars in the dark sky, and a pale cold moon hung high in the sky. The scattered light made the ground look less gloomy. If you don’t know better, you might think this is just an ordinary winter night.
After standing in front of the window for a moment, Lu Ning pulled out the obsidian dagger and made two cuts on the window frame. Then she put away the knife and walked back to Zhou Weiyuan.
About six or seven minutes later, Shang Wenxue came back. In her hand, she was carrying a bag made of fabric that she didn't know where she came from. Inside was a dozen ice rats with their limbs and tails broken off.
"There are a lot of these things in the building. I saw one that looked like a wild boar in the corridor of the main building on the third floor. Is it possible that the world is full of animals?"
Zhou Weiyuan took the cloth bag and took out an ice mouse. Its appearance was crystal clear, slightly blue, and through its body you could see a copper coin sealed inside it, but it looked like a mouse, and it even tried to bite Zhou Weiyuan.
"The three previous books should also have mentioned something related to the cold world." Lu Ning said.
Shang Wenxue clapped her hands fiercely: "Yes, the Ice Princess and the Crystal Forest, the White Witch's Riddle, the Eternal Whirling Valley... these are all stories told in cold weather."
"You really remembered it." Lu Ning knew that Shang Wenxue must not have forgotten it.
"But there are humans in those stories, so why do we see animals now?"
Lu Ning could see that Shang Wenxue just wanted to find something to talk about. She didn't believe that such an all-round person who could fight alone would not think about it, but she didn't want to get entangled in such a useless topic.
Seeing that Zhou Weiyuan had begun to approach the space transformation area, Lu Ning walked over and continued to guard the surrounding area. Shang Wenxue, who was left in place, could only shrug: "It seems that he is hated again."
Zhou Weiyuan's method was also very simple. After getting close, he started throwing ice mice and recorded the reaction. He didn't use much force, and the angles and directions were different. Lu Ning didn't know what data could be gained by doing this. She had never experienced any magic scenes, so she didn't pay special attention to this aspect in her consciousness. Research. Because unlike technology, the biggest feature of magic scenes is that there are no universal technical axioms but personal strength improves very quickly.
Soon the bag of ice mice was used up, and some of them melted instantly. Zhou Weiyuan quickly jotted down a bunch of characters in his notebook and then walked back to where he was, immersed in his calculations.
Shang Wenxue looked eager and seemed to want to chat. Lu Ning felt a little headache and walked towards the window.
"Lu Ning, am I particularly annoying?"
coming.
Lu Ning sighed and turned around, and found that Shang Wenxue still had that characteristic polite smile on her face, without any expression of sadness or sadness at all.
"...You gave me a strong sense of being cut apart." Lu Ning could only say.
"oh?"
"You enjoy all kinds of dangers and are very keen on those risky behaviors. That's no problem. I have a friend who is also like this. She can also feel the fun from such death trials. But her every move is also You clearly told everyone that you enjoyed doing this, but you... have been suppressing it, and instead used that kind of polite behavior that is completely inconsistent with your eyes to cover it up."
"So this is the cutting feeling you're talking about?"
"I can clearly feel that your behavior is completely inconsistent with your personality. Generally speaking, you are a poor liar. So this is not hate, but people's inherent rejection of false things."
"That's it..." Shang Wenxue touched the handle of the cane, "You are the first person to say this to me. It sounds very reasonable."
But immediately afterwards, she bowed slightly: "It's a pity that I still have to behave like this, because if I completely release my nature, I will probably go on a path of no return. Although I don't have many friends. , I don’t want to let myself fall into that situation.”
Lu Ning didn't expect her to say that.
"Is there something wrong with you?"
"When we entered the distribution center, they should have explained it, right? Our new bodies are no different from human beings, and have been cured of all the diseases we had during our lives. We are a completely healthy body... but the distribution center does not treat psychological illnesses. "Shang Wenxue shook his finger, "From the most basic mental aphasia and imaginary disability to more serious mania and antisocial tendencies, these cannot be recovered by means of physical recovery."
Lu Ning knows this. Just like Xuan Zhitong's difficulty in speaking is because she has certain social barriers and other psychological problems. There are many similar examples.
"And I am in this category of people." Shang Wenxue pointed to his chest, "We are born with some incurable 'diseases' that cannot be cured even if we are successfully resurrected. Can this kind of thing be cured? It’s all up to you.”
"So your question is..."
"Huricide, yes." Shang Wenxue chuckled, "This is nature, a very troublesome nature. I am very similar to the notorious lunatics you know. Things like damaging property and killing animals are something I I’ve done them all, and the only thing I haven’t crossed while I’m alive is the last line.”
Lu Ning was silent.
"Coming to this unrestrained world was originally the perfect fit for me. No one or the law would restrict me anymore. But fortunately, I met someone."
