"I should be the one who located your position earlier."
Xie Ku's expression was calm, and his tone was gentle and relieved that Lu Ning was not familiar with. Can death bring such a change to people? Her memory isn't that clear.
"When I found myself entering a hot world, I immediately checked the mission records... Of course, the bitterness and despair in my heart at that time also made me feel that something was wrong. If it were not a suicide, the current I probably wouldn’t speak to you so peacefully.”
Lu Ning nodded.
"First of all, I learned about my identity from the mission information immediately. Unlike you Zhengshu, I was given three additional tasks and two advantages. The tasks included promoting the recovery of Lu Ning as a whole and looking for those who participated in the plan. core members and open the dream mirror channel. One of the advantages is that I have the ability to actively move the world to 'shelter', and the second advantage is that I know that the world I cannot enter is the epidemic." Henku took out his mobile phone and read .
"I pretty much know everything else. What is opening the dream mirror channel? What kind of ability does shelter have?"
"The Dream Mirror Channel is a way to go back. I have found a 'professor' from my side of the world. He is a nice person and is willing to help lost people like us."
"Our professor here has been killed."
"It's normal. The core members back then were not of the same mind. The professor had fewer desires, but that's not necessarily the case for others. You don't have to worry, even death is not a bad thing. The biggest difference between the core members and us is."
"They don't want to go back, so there's no need to restore the nine selves to their original state, right?"
"Yes, the professor has secret contacts at sites in every world. This side of the epidemic already knows about the attack. It is estimated that professors in other worlds have also learned about the news. But the professor didn't tell me yet. There are a few of them alive, you can come to our place and ask them."
"What about the Dream Mirror Channel?"
"The return route was built after entering here. This is a one-way channel, designed to communicate the resonance nodes of the nine worlds and lead to the original world to achieve a stable return plan. As far as I know, it is not just Professors are carrying out such a plan, and there are other people who are also doing this, but on the other hand... there are also people who are sabotaging this plan."
"Principal. He directly regards the professor as his enemy. He should be the one who doesn't want him to establish a channel."
"I don't know about that. Anyway, the confrontation between the core members must be the background of this scene, and we need to complete the recycling of ourselves in such an environment." Henku took out a tablet and handed it to Lu Ning , "You already understand the formation of the nine personalities, which were all transformed by Lu Ning in the past. You are just the one closest to the 'present' among them, but because of this, you are the one most qualified to complete the collection. Here It is an analysis of split personality after traveling through the world. Fraternity, support for others, and aversion to non-being belong to the positive personality, which will amplify some of the beautiful qualities you possess. Intention, aggression, and greed belong to the negative personality, and the evil side of the human heart will appear in It is magnified in these people. However, Mo Nian, Hate Suffering, and Zheng Pi are neutral. Mo Nian is more positive, while Hate Suffering is more negative. This is the biggest difference."
After Henku finished speaking, he stared into Lu Ning's eyes.
"We have the same memory, so I think after reading this information, you should also understand that these correspond to your own time."
"But why are you going out of your way to help me like this?"
"I hope I can go back intact. You know how big the trouble is this time. We have nine personalities. If we are not recovered, this soul damage will make us trapped in the third level for a long time, and even drag us to death. But From the standpoint of another 'I', it is absolutely impossible to think this way, because except for me, every Lu Ning must have the same thoughts at the moment, including you——"
You must live until the fifth level returns and live happily than anyone else.
It is absolutely impossible for Lu Ning, who has such thoughts, to exchange death for someone else's perfection.
"I see."
Lu Ning nodded, took the tablet, and read the relevant matters carefully.
“Can you tell me about the shelter?”
"We can turn any room into a shelter. It will be separated from the world. Opening the door will connect you to another world. There are many restrictions on its use, but it is not bad as an active switching skill. The duration of the shelter is one hour, or we take the initiative to lift it. If you want, I can take you into my world of summer beetles now."
"When I finish reading, let's go there together." Lu Ning nodded.
The document was not long, it was just an explanation of the nine types of personality, which was cited in Gaschon's previous explanation. The source of this information is a book that classified human personalities in ancient times. It is somewhat famous in the industry, but that's all.
"But why does this division also correspond to the situation in the world here? Is it possible..."
"We must have the same idea. The professor did not give a detailed explanation in this regard. Our idea is most likely correct."
Similar things happened a long time ago, but no records were left, and some circumstantial fragments left some clues. And since it happened, it must have been solved later, which also shows that there is some way to solve the alienation situation of the entire Avionics University.
Lu Ning nodded, got up and followed Henku to the door.
Outside the door is a scorching world.
All the building materials on the campus were replaced with thick stones, but the heat finally penetrated. Although it was already dark outside, the sky showed a strange red color, and a blue moon floated in the night sky without any stars around it.
"So hot!"
After Lu Ning confirmed that the switched world was correct, she was shocked by the high heat as soon as she went out. The previous epidemic world was sultry, but in fact the temperature was only thirty-seven or eighty degrees, but the world here still maintained its temperature at night. High temperatures above forty degrees!
Just standing for a moment, she felt like she was sweating profusely.
"You don't have a portable air conditioner?" He glanced at her bitterly and walked closer, "I don't have any extra, just stay close to me."
But the effect of this was very limited. Lu Ning followed her outside. Without the pollen and thick fog, the world returned to its familiar appearance. The heat made her tired body feel sleepy, but after all, she didn't trust the "Lu Ning" beside her too much.
She is very good at catching her enemies at the moment when they relax their vigilance, and if she asks herself, if she were facing another self now, she would not hesitate to attack.
What an irony.
"Slow down, we have to go around."
When they got down to the first floor, they were about to turn towards the main entrance of the building when Henku grabbed her. At a glance, Lu Ning discovered that there were several monsters wandering aimlessly in front of the main entrance.
They are very similar to the incarnations of elements in some games. Most of their bodies are composed of sand, fire, and storms visible to the naked eye, except for a shining core below the neck, which forms the basis for the attachment of all parts.
"This is the characteristic monster of this world. The ruler of this world, the Flame Stone Attendant, is a huge ball of magma that squats over the stadium all year round, but it is now a lava pool."
"How effective are these elements in combat?"
"It's very strong. If there are more than three in a group, you have to use powerful long-range weapons to kill them. Yan Rong's melee ability can be tied with one. Fortunately, these things have low intelligence, and When the environment is not conducive to their existence, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and they can use strategies to win."
As they spoke, the two of them climbed out of a broken window.
An even stronger sense of heat shone down from the sky. Not to mention Lu Ning, even the air-conditioned Henku began to sweat on his forehead at this time. The blue moon seemed to be another sun. Although it did not emit strong light, it did Pour all the blazing heat onto the surface of the earth.
"You are living in a place like this? So what do you know about the dawn in the mission?"
"It refers to a normal sunrise." Henku pointed to the sky, "It doesn't look normal no matter how you look at it, right? The day here does not experience the alternation of day and night in the sense we understand, but the light of the star From blue to white...the light will then spread to illuminate the entire sky. And the position of the star never changes, and the 'Earth' we are in seems to be in some strange state of relative stillness."
In this way, the celestial phenomena in other worlds seem to be completely abnormal.
The sky is invisible in the world of heavy rain, and the lights are black stars called "eternal lights". The cold and cold look normal, but there may not be a sunrise in the ordinary sense, and the green sun with tentacles is even more... Don't call it normal.
"Why sunrise?"
"What do you think? Maybe there is no logic. If you have to find a reason... we should have the same idea."
"When dawn comes, nightmares wake up. Since this is a dream mirror, then dawn is also the time to wake up. We must take the initiative to get rid of nightmares, otherwise dawn will never come?"
"Yeah." Henku responded, avoiding the wandering route of the elements, and led Lu Ning to a low shed.
This place does not belong to any school building, or it does not have a number. They are specially opened shops by the school next to a canteen, selling some fresh fruits, dry goods and snacks. At this moment, the huts under the sheds are already empty, but because the buildings have been made of stone, they are still here. Pretty solid.
"here."
Xingku got into the third shack from the left, lifted up the straw mat on the ground, and revealed the sewer cover underneath. She picked up the lid and lifted it up easily, then pointed for Lu Ning to climb down.
"underground?"
"In such a hot weather, the ground is not suitable for human survival anyway, right? And the closed environment is conducive to our ability to exert our shelter."
After going down from the sewer, the air inside was very dry and much cooler than the ground. After all, the temperature was not enough to penetrate the thick surface. But Lu Ning knew that this was just a psychological effect. After all, as the original sewer, the water here had evaporated completely and the temperature was not much lower.
"Follow me and don't remember the wrong direction."
The underground waterway has been expanded into a maze by obvious man-made traces, and there are several traps along the way, and there are also an unknown number of hidden detection equipment. At least from a defensive perspective, the "professor" in this world is better than the previous one. Much better done.
After descending another level, Lu Ning no longer knew where her position corresponded to on the ground, and her destination appeared in front of her.
This was an iron door as thick as a vault door. Xin Ku pressed a metal plate on the edge of the door that looked like scrap iron, and the door slowly moved open. Cold light shone from inside the house, and there was even a refreshing air-conditioning flowing from it.
"Lu Ning, you're back... huh?"
By chance, Yan Rong was passing by the door with a piece of dried meat in her mouth and a cup in her hand. When she saw Lu Ning was about to say hello, he suddenly noticed that two of them were stunned and even the dried meat fell out of her mouth. Fortunately, she reached out quickly and used the cup. Caught it.
"I remember you were wearing this when you went out." Yan Rong pointed at Henku, and then at Lu Ning, "Wait a minute, are you picking yourself up?"
"yes."
"Do you really want to die?"
"My character flaw came from the moment I committed suicide. It's part of my nature that I can't change. Just like you."
"Ha, at least I didn't think about death when I was the most frustrated in my life. However, everyone's life is different, and I won't judge you. Since you brought her here, at least we have reached a temporary agreement. ?”
"Hello, Yan Rong, although this feels a bit strange...but we have been working together for a long time, and now it is difficult for me to feel unfamiliar."
"An Xin, I won't do anything to you, Lu Ning, have you mentioned this to her? You have to do it yourself to recover the people who have split off. If you are killed by others, you will suffer a big loss."
Henku shook his head: "Not yet, but she knows now."
Yan Rong immediately expressed his understanding, took the meat out of the cup again, and raised the cup to Lu Ning: "Then I wish you, no, everything goes well for you. I'll make a cup of coffee."
After she left, Lu Ning shrugged. This felt really strange.
"Isn't it very wrong?"
"How should I put it? The Yan Rong I know is more energetic, always full of indomitable energy, and able to stand up and lead the team in critical moments. Seeing such a laid-back..."
"Everyone has a low point in life. Haven't you never understood Yan Rong's past?" Henku smiled softly, "When you are lucky enough to see the person you know again, have a good chat with her."
"Why can I act so detached when you are at your lowest point?" Lu Ning couldn't help but ask.
"After all, there is nothing important except life and death."
