Lu Ning was in an empty and hot corridor. She looked at the shape of the surrounding rooms and determined that this was the Summer Garden.

This is what Osmond eventually said she "discovered." The overall layout of the Four Seasons Garden.

There are "upper cloisters" in winter and spring, "inner cloisters" in all four gardens, and "lower cloisters" in autumn and summer. Finally, there is "true north" indicated by the positions of the Big Dipper and Polaris in the Winter Garden. Putting all this information together, Lu Ning was able to piece together a vertical garden shape, and the position corresponding to the North Star was directly above. Then there are four gardens of winter, spring, summer and autumn distributed in a clockwise direction.

The so-called "elevator room" is just a space transmission device, so the elevators in the four corners do not need to make any sound when running. The abnormal gravity conditions of this vertical garden had expired when Lu Ning and Osmond fell. The two of them fell rapidly in a direction parallel to the entire garden floor. Lu Ning found the right opportunity to use it. Crescent Moon teleported back to the inside of the garden, but Osmond could not use skills while the sticker was in effect and could only fall into the unknown dark void outside the garden.

Below the Spring Garden is the Summer Garden, which is where Lu Ning is now, the inner corridor.

The crisis is still not over, and Osmond's points are not counted against Lu Ning. Canlan and Cupino are still alive, and there are still seven servants.

When Lu Ning got up from the ground, she happened to see someone quietly looking over at the opposite door.

None other than William Siss.

"Is it you?" Of course William remembered Lu Ning. He was deeply impressed when he dealt with the two plant leaders before.

"William Sis." Lu Ning said the other party's name, "Lewanska asked me to find you."

"Oh?" William raised his eyebrows, "What did he ask you to do with me?"

"He said that you analyzed some key information about the crisis, and he hopes that I can help you analyze it. It's just that I didn't meet you before the crisis, so I don't know what your progress is."

"You look like this, you must have just finished the battle. Did you meet the leader? What are the casualties?"

"There is no death here." Lu Ning collected Xinyue and walked towards William, "What? This is very important?"

"Yes, I have already explained the triggering conditions of the sixteenth trap crisis 'thought' before." William let Lu Ning into the room. There were several instruments and a computer in this small triangular room. , and in the middle is a one-star mission machine. There are some food and levels stacked in the corner of the room, which should have been taken from the supply point.

"Have you been here before?"

"Well, here's the blind spot."

After William answered, he pointed to a mattress on the ground: "Would you like to take a rest? You look very tired."

"...Is it so obvious?"

"Although you are here to help me, if you don't rest you may die suddenly. You will be mentally and physically exhausted." William put his pockets in his pocket and walked towards the computer. "This room will not be directly attacked by a trap crisis. , as long as we stay quiet, we have nothing to worry about. We can rest here until the next crisis, 'Nova', arrives."

"Thank you very much."

Lu Ning did not lie down, but sat on the mattress and leaned against the wall, closing her eyes: "Tell me something you know, and I will also understand the situation."

"The triggering conditions of the sixteen traps are different. Except for those that have been activated, I spent a little time analyzing the rest. Among these traps, the most special ones are No. 8 and No. 16. The others Traps are allusions to some historical events, but these two are almost fabricated out of thin air, and are more difficult to crack. I only figured out the situation of these two traps not long ago, and the triggering of trap No. 8's emotions The condition is that more than half of the survivors fall into an intense emotional state, and the triggering condition for the 'thought' of Trap No. 16 is that the number of deaths exceeds three-quarters of the total number of people, which means it will be triggered when approximately 119 people die. .”

William tapped on the computer, and a row of data flashed on the screen.

"Now the remaining number of us is almost on this line. We don't have to worry about 'emotions', because the fewer of us who have the ability to control emotions, the lower the probability of triggering this trap. But 'thoughts' are difficult to stop. Oh, this is..."

He looked at the screen and interpreted the contents of the entire file according to his reprogramming method.

"...Four leaders, four...salesmen."

There was even and steady breathing from behind. Lu Ning didn't know when he had fallen asleep. William glanced at it and shook his head with a smile: "Little girl, be careful... uh."

Just as he was about to sigh, he saw a thin thread hanging not far from his neck. The thread had no lethality and was even difficult to detect. William looked carefully at Lu Ning and discovered that there seemed to be some kind of mimicry in the corner of the room. Some thin threads tightly protected Lu Ning. The ends of the threads were connected to her fingers and ankles. As long as they were touched, Too much, and I'm afraid Lu Ning would wake up immediately, and in her position, it wouldn't take more than a second to go from waking up to violently attacking.

"Haha... I really thought too much. How could someone who can defeat Karl be less vigilant?"

William muttered something under his breath, turned around and continued to tap.

Lu Ning was in deep sleep and fell into the starry sky again.

Previously, she had finally determined the shape of the garden based on the reaction of life in this starry sky, that is, those stars. After falling into deep sleep this time, the stars in the sky were only flashing slowly, and she was unconsciously counting the stars according to the distribution in the garden.

This made her sleep enter a deeper state, a sense of tranquility spread into her heart, and the starlight became clearer and closer. Lu Ning seemed to realize something was wrong in her mind. Once she had doubts, she would not ignore them and continue to think in this direction.

It is usually difficult to retain thoughts in dreams, but this can be regarded as a "whim". The ruby ​​​​ring penetrated Lu Ning's dream of the starry sky with a soothing emotion, but it made her, who was very wary, suddenly open her eyes. Eye.

"fifty three."

When the memory of that starry sky quickly disappeared, Lu Ning shouted out the number. William was startled, and quickly turned around and asked: "What? What is fifty-three?"

Lu Ning didn't answer him, and quickly turned on her own instrument, but the crisis interface had disappeared, and all crisis statistics could no longer be seen.

She was stunned for a moment, remembering what William said before she fell asleep, and hurriedly turned around and asked: "William! How many of us will be left when the crisis is over?"

"Fifty, there's still a few people left before triggering the 'thought', so there's no need to panic."

"Fifty?"

"Well, it will only be triggered when there are about thirty-eight people left, and we can do our best to complete tasks during the current calm period. The weather in the two gardens is unlocked, and the crisis interval is six hours, which is enough..."

"No, that's not what I meant." Lu Ning held her head and tried to recall the starry sky in her dream, but her memory was blurred. She looked at the ruby ​​on her finger and resisted the urge to look at it again.

"There shouldn't be any problem with the last memory." She whispered, "It's fifty-three, fifty-three stars."

"Lu Ning, we have to leave for a while. Are you in a hurry to collect thirty stars now?" William stood up and said.

"leave?"

"The analysis of the trap crisis has been completed, but the system used by the natural crisis and the trap crisis are not the same. I have to go to the data collection room of the Winter Garden to recalculate the changes in the garden when the first three crises occurred. You want do not come?"

"I am not in a hurry."

"I didn't take this one-star mission, you can take it, although I know it's a bit lacking..."

"It doesn't matter." Lu Ning walked to the machine and swiped it. "The third crisis has just passed. I want to see how difficult the task has been."

[Task Level 1: Unlock the weather lock of an area before the next crisis arrives. 】

"It's not much of an improvement." William stood beside him and happened to see Lu Ning's mission.

"No, now that the two gardens have been fully unlocked, this mission will undoubtedly allow us to continue to compress our living space." Lu Ning put down the instrument, "For now, the difficulty of being a one-star is just right."

"Since you have no objection, let's go. Do you want something to eat?"

"Just eat on the way." Lu Ning took two random items from the pile of food and opened the door while eating.

Now she knows the location of most of the mission machines on almost every floor. The two of them picked up all the missions on the way to the Winter Garden. Compared with the fierce competition before, now the missions are really taken casually, but they don’t know if there are any. No life can be done.

The place William was going to was in Courtyard No. 1. In Lu Ning's impression, it was the place where the snow was deep and the weather was first unlocked. But now that the two of them went there, the snow layer was much thinner. This also proved that the Four Seasons Garden had some cleaning measures, but the speed was slightly slower.

Coming to the glass door, William opened it. This place had experienced many battles during this period, and there were some corpses in the snow, but it was not as dazzling as other places.

"This is it. Apart from a house in every garden, there are only three connected signal tower rooms in this courtyard. The place I want to go is on the inside."

"We can go in."

Lu Ning scanned the courtyard briefly, but there was no life response. There should be no one in courtyard No. 1 at this time.

"Thank you." William stepped into the snow and trudged inside through the snow. Lu Ning raised her hand to wave, and the matchmaker appeared behind her. The filaments stretched out and floated in the air to build a ropeway. Then Lu Ning reached out and hugged the matchmaker, and the two of them flew directly to the upper floor of the house with the help of the thin thread.

The data collection room can be seen from here. There is only one entrance, and Lu Ning can see it from the roof. She activated the optical shielding device equipped on her body, and her figure flickered twice, becoming difficult to distinguish in the vast whiteness.

William took a moment to walk into the collection room, while Lu Ning was watching the surrounding situation from the highest point in the courtyard.

About ten minutes later, the glass door was opened again.

A group of four people from Cheron County, plus a man with short black hair, walked in together.

"Is this here?"

"Yes, there are many mechanical devices here, but I have never learned these things and have no idea how to use them. You are from the pavilion, so you should know how to use them, right?" The short-haired man pointed to the room of the third company and said .

"Samiana...I always feel...it feels chilly here." Chadli tugged on Samiana's sleeves and said a little fearfully.

"This is the Winter Garden. Isn't it normal to be cold?" Naim said impatiently. "Chadley, everyone is here! There is no crisis or monsters now. What are you afraid of?"

"I am……"

"Chadley's intuition is quite accurate, and there is nothing wrong with being more vigilant." Cheron County said, "Samiana, please use the heat source amplifier to check the surroundings."

"Okay." Samiana took out the heat source amplifier and put it on her head, and looked around.

"There was a man in that row of houses."

"Huh? It's normal. There is no chance that other survivors will find out. If he knows more information, maybe we can exchange it." Cheron County took a step forward, "Is there anyone else?"

"No more heat sources to react."

"Chadley, I told you there's no need to worry!" Naim patted Chadley's shoulder carelessly, threw away his weapon and opened a path in the snow, "Look, there's only one new footprint here, relax." Got it."

Cheron County led the way, and Samiana walked at the end of the team. The two of them looked after the whole team and started walking towards the collection room.

Lu Ning on the roof moved her fingers, causing Bai Shu to release the cold change on his body.

She knew that Cheron County and others were not murderers who killed anyone on sight, but she was not prepared to show up here. The "voice of the heart" did not give her a warning of danger, which meant that she could still cope with any possible emergencies.

But just in case, she took out a taboo sticker.

As a four-star prop, the strength of this prop is also quite high, so there is a limit to the number, six in total. The scope of the sticker's jurisdiction is only within a space. If she sticks it outdoors, it will not affect the inside of the room. In addition, this sticker is completely indifferent between friend and foe, so you need to think carefully about what to write on it.

She watched the group of people enter the room and took a glance at it with her heat source amplifier. She found that the reactions of several heat sources inside were still normal, and sure enough, there was no fight.

In terms of dealing with people, William is obviously better than Lu Ning. He knew that Lu Ning was guarding outside. These people came in without giving any warning, which meant that she thought it was safe, so when she saw someone coming in, she immediately raised a smile.

"It seems that several of them came here with the same purpose as me?"
