Now that the enemy has escaped, the cooperation has temporarily come to an end. Both of them were killed by Lu Ning. Chelun County naturally recognized her contribution and told Lu Ning the second half of the message, and then everyone separated.
"Lu, where are we going?"
"Go to the Garden of Spring." Lu Ning gave a simple reply to Mao You who came up to him again, and then asked, "What did you gain?"
"There's only one one-star mission." Mao You shook his head, "It's right behind the snowman's big room. It's a blind spot. I took it directly."
"What mission? What are you talking about?" Ping Na was a little confused.
"Nothing. Didn't Cheron County say before that there are two tasks that can be used for trading? If they are too far away and they can't control them, why should they be used for trading? Then there are task machines only in places without entrances and exits in the courtyard. Knowing this, I asked Mao You to find an opportunity to get the mission back, but I didn't expect that he would only dare to wander outside."
"Hey, that house is a dead end. What if there is a monster in there? Wouldn't I be in danger? A place with easy access to all directions is best for me." Maoyou chuckled, "And this task is so easy to complete."
"What content?"
"Surviving a crisis. Since I escaped just now, now I just have to wait until the crisis is over to complete it? The one-star mission is still so simple." Mao You said proudly, "Even if you say it is worthless, you can still earn one star. It’s one star, right? Ah! Lu, you haven’t said why we want to go to the Spring Garden!”
"Autopsy." Lu Ning replied.
This was one of the reasons. In addition, Lu Ning was also very concerned about the information Chelun County gave him later.
They are semi-informed participants. The reason why they say this is because they know what kind of experiment the Four Seasons Garden is and the dangers involved. But in addition to being informed in advance, they were not informed of the specific content at all. They even came in after losing consciousness. They had not really seen what the mastermind looked like.
Of course, Cheron County did not retain the part that it knew in advance.
[The purpose of the Four Seasons Garden is to "reproduce" some history and complete some situation simulations through small-scale simulation and control. At the same time, some psychological and sociological judgments will be added to it. Even I don’t know the specific purpose. After all, I am just a salesman. 】
The salesman in charge of them in Cheron County provided only this information.
[The dangers that existed in our past will return to the garden in special forms. You should also understand the dangers. Even a top salesman like me cannot guarantee that we will be able to escape from those terrible "pasts". Survive. If you can really recognize this, you can sign this agreement. 】
Cheron County didn't say the reason why they signed the agreement, and Lu Ning didn't ask. But after knowing this, she had a certain understanding of the mastermind's actions.
Since he has never really met anyone from the "Master Brain", so far Lu Ning can only look at the Master Brain as a whole. Salesperson - this is a term worth noting. After all, Lu Ning was also brought directly into the garden by a salesperson. It seems that they are the main force of communication between the mastermind and the outside world.
"If there is a mastermind in this garden..."
Thinking of this possibility, Lu Ning couldn't help but frown. What will the person who emerges from the mastermind look like? She has met some people in the pavilion, but it cannot be used as a reference at all, because the mastermind is still a completely closed mystery so far, and there is no point of comparison.
The elevator closed and opened again, and the three people returned to the familiar Spring Courtyard again, but this time there happened to be a high-speed black figure rushing over in the corridor on one side after opening the door!
"Wow!" Mao You knocked Lu Ning and Ping Na, and the three of them rolled to the side of the elevator together. Lu Ning saw in the chaos that it was a cyborg with giant circular saws in both hands. Covered with large and small scars and stained with a lot of flesh and blood, this guy seemed to have completely lost his mind. Even after Lu Ning and the others rolled to the side, he still did not change direction and rushed straight into the elevator. Then the elevator door closed. .
"What the hell!" Maoyou cursed, as if he didn't even see what it was.
"Why are you panicking!" Ping Na finally couldn't hold back her anger, "Every time I encounter any danger, I'm the first to panic! This time, Lu and I were implicated! Can you have some potential!"
"Hey, I'm sorry, I couldn't help it, I couldn't help it..." Maoyou immediately shrank and apologized to Pingna with a smile. He also knew that he was in the wrong.
Lu Ning patted the few blades of grass on her body, stared at the elevator, and walked away step by step. The sound insulation effect of this elevator is surprisingly good, at least now I can't hear any noise inside.
At this time, a group of people who were running out of breath arrived in the corridor.
"Where did that guy go? Huh? It's you..."
The first person to run over shouted and raised the weapon in his hand. He was slightly stunned when he saw Lu Ning and the others. Maoyou immediately pointed at him and shouted: "Are you that...who's follower?"
"It's a student."
Ji Changhao, who was barely able to keep breathing, also ran over. Behind him were about ten people, almost all of whom were injured. Several other students were also among them, and none of them were missing.
"Mr. Ji." Lu Ning raised her hand to say hello, "Did you expel that cyborg just now?"
"How can we expel it?" Ji Changhao smiled bitterly, "Where did it go?"
"I crashed into the elevator. I don't know what's going on inside now. After all, it has to be locked for five minutes." Lu Ning pointed to the elevator door, "Your team has grown a lot."
"They were improvised people, and a few of them were sacrificed." Ji Changhao turned around and greeted, "The danger has been lifted for the time being, everyone can relax a little."
It could be seen that Ji Changhao was quite prestigious in the eyes of these people. Those people immediately stopped, and some simply leaned on the wall and gasped.
Lu looked at the students who were still walking next to Ji Changhao, turned on the instrument and confirmed from the crisis option that this was the only monster left, then nodded to Ji Changhao and said, "Mr. Ji, have you discovered anything during this time?" ?”
"It doesn't count as discovery. We did find the weather unlocking switch in the garden corridor, but the name is a bit weird."
"What? What's weird?"
"The two switches we found are [Spring-Upper Corridor-Weather Unlock] and [Spring-Inner Corridor-Weather Unlock]"
"What about the lower and outer layers?" Mao You spoke quickly and directly asked the question in Lu Ning's heart.
"Not found. And the positions corresponding to the two buttons are exactly within the entire outer square corridor. I don't know why they are named this way..." Ji Changhao shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Let's talk in detail in the next room." Lu Ning pointed to the circular room next to her.
Ji Changhao thought about it briefly and agreed.
After everyone took their seats in the small room, Lu Ning asked, "Mr. Ji should have some guesses."
"That kind of thing is just random speculation. What really matters is the upcoming second crisis."
"Do you have some ideas?"
"I am also a teacher after all." Ji Changhao patted his chest, "What I can teach students is not just the methods."
Lu Ning glanced at the four young men and women around Ji Changhao and said, "Why don't you introduce me? We met twice, both in this Spring Garden. We should have some fate."
"Haha, if I don't waste your time."
Ji Changhao's four students are definitely not at the level of ordinary people. If you look carefully, you can see that among the group of more than a dozen people, the injuries on their bodies are the least important. They either haven't participated in the battle very much or they have excellent skills.
The fastest runner at the beginning, who was actually very honest, was Ninomiya Makoto. The weapon he used was an iron pestle, and the various uneven marks on it proved that he had experienced many battles. The girl Lizono Qiuye, who looks dignified and has a relatively gentle attitude, is also the girl who showed Lu Ning the task of assassinating monsters with a short halberd. Another girl with short hair and a somewhat cold demeanor, but who respected Ji Changhao very much was Rinko Kogami, holding two shrunken lances of about one meter in length. Finally, there was Gan Xu, a boy with uneven hair, even two nails dyed, but a very tall figure. He greeted everyone with a long-drawn-out voice and soon chatted with Mao You. It was very Talkative.
"Mr. Ji, do you have any thoughts on the crisis?"
"The first crisis, 'Sunset'; and this time, 'Rust'." Ji Changhao habitually began to speak as if he were a teacher, but he soon realized it and sped up his speech.
"We have experienced a long period of chaos in history. During this period, whether it was a change of power or frequent disasters, there were always countless people and events that left their names. The two words 'Sunset' and 'Rust' The names all come from historical events."
This is a blind spot of knowledge that is inaccessible to the completely uneducated trio in alleys and streets.
"Can you please elaborate?"
"Well, it's not that I don't want to share, it's just that I have so many people with me..."
"We will exchange some information about the pavilion and the mastermind, or you may need detailed information about the third-level props." Lu Ning didn't know what Ji Changhao meant, so she immediately gave her conditions.
Ji Changhao was obviously very satisfied with this, and said: "The incident of 'Xizhao' should refer to the night ban group that occurred in the oldest chaotic era. The words 'Burning Star Has Sinned' appeared on the wall. It can basically be locked. During that time, this killer group called Night Forbidden was out at night and carried out indiscriminate attacks on everyone who went out at night. This incident lasted for nearly four years. In the end, it was the Inquisition that took action to make this group disappear. Are they similar to the two monsters that appeared in the crisis?"
"Executioner and killer? But such a combination is actually very common." Lu Ning frowned.
"Then let's talk about the second one, 'Rust'. This should be said to be the artificial intelligence destruction plan. The original code name of this plan was 'Rust'. At that time, some of the machines based on artificial intelligence had evolved and made breakthroughs. The restriction situation caused a lot of panic. Therefore, under the public referendum, it was planned to implement this plan and at the same time conduct biomechanical research and development as an alternative, with the main goal of improving human beings' own functions. And two things that emerged in this crisis This kind of monster is a machine and a machine that transforms people."
"Even if you say so, what is the use of such information?"
"The usefulness is that I can at least predict what the next crisis will be based on this." Ji Changhao showed a somewhat proud expression, but there was no trace of pride on his tired old face.
"Really?" Lu Ning raised an eyebrow.
"The number of rust is four. If this number is in chronological order, then normal crises may also be like this. Then if history is divided according to major events and the evolution of the times, the second crisis should also correspond to a major historical period. ." Ji Changhao crossed his hands slightly and looked slightly sternly, "This is what I want to remind you to be more careful. The second crisis should correspond to the Xuanyi Tower - Jiuyao Tower."
Lu Ning had no history at all in his memory, so he couldn't hear the seriousness. Not only her, but even Ji Changhao's students didn't look like they were paying attention to the class. Most of them had blank faces at the moment. Only Ninomiya honestly nodded vigorously.
Seeing everyone's reaction, what didn't Ji Changhao understand? He sighed and said in a tone that said he hated iron but could not become steel: "Let you remember more knowledge at ordinary times, and only know how to fight and kill... The chaos is over, and only Xuanyi Tower is left in the world. The fourth generation of the owner of the building shocked the world with terror. Two hundred years have brought about two hundred years of peace, not a prosperous age, but the final peace. I don’t think they can really reproduce the power of Xuanyi Tower back then, I’m just afraid..."
"You also mentioned Jiuyao Tower." Lu Ning reminded.
"Jiu Yao Pagoda is the only external organization of Xuanyi Tower. It is a bit similar to the main brain. The final destruction of Xuanyi Tower was also due to the expansion of Jiu Yao Pagoda's strength to a certain extent. After the death of the fourth generation building owner, the successor It cannot be completely controlled in the short term, and the external environment has deteriorated to the point of no return under years of suppression."
"Since you know this history so well, are there any very noteworthy figures in Xuanyi Tower or Jiuyao Tower?"
Ji Changhao was stunned for a moment, then touched his short beard and smiled bitterly.
"Every."
"What?"
"Every person who left their name in history is a noteworthy figure. The fourth generation of the building master, with Jiu Yao as his assistant, the Xuan Yue is in the sky, and the world is my own. After saying this, I suddenly felt that if they can really let Xuan Yi It’s also good that Lou appears again.”
"Yeah?"
Lu Ning looked at Ji Changhao. He was very involved in his story, but Lu Ning could tell that he actually didn't want this wish to come true at all.
