Cheron County looked at William's appearance, then looked at the furnishings in the room, and understood something in his heart. He gave a slight salute to William: "Hello, we just heard that there should be a device here that seems to have important functions, so we came to see if it can be used. Since you have arrived before us and are operating it, So you must know how to use it?"
"That's right."
"So what should we give in exchange for knowing?"
William pondered this question for a second. He is also a smart man, otherwise he would not be alive until now. While chatting with Chellun County, he was also considering Lu Ning's intention of letting people in.
"As you can see... I am currently operating alone. Although the level of the items I hold is not low, I am still afraid of sneak attacks. I need some people to help me guard the surroundings while I am concentrating. .”
"This is simple." Naim grinned, "With so many of us, it's no problem to guard a door, Cheron County, don't you think so?"
"It's easy for us."
"I haven't explained the specific method yet. As you can see, the name of this machine is a pan-data collection device. It records many things that have happened in the garden since our arrival, mainly the spatial changes every time a crisis occurs. and landing point. I need to compare this thing to verify the commonality when the crisis occurs, so as to complete the cracking of the code."
William walked towards the machine, tapped twice, and a long progress bar appeared on the screen.
"This machine can ignore most disturbances, but I still don't feel reassured. After all, once the data is wrong, my cracking difficulty will be several levels higher. Therefore, I hope you will guard these three houses, not just this one."
"That's easy..."
"And I don't guarantee that there won't be any surprises in this process."
Cheron County raised his eyebrows.
"Accident?"
"Yes, an accident. Although I can be said to be the person who knows the most about various crisis matters in this garden, I can never guarantee the arrangement of the mastermind. If you can accept it, we can start now."
Everyone in the room was talking at length, while Lu Ning outside the room received a message from the matchmaker. The weather unlock button for this garden was found. It was in the house in front of William's room. She could unlock the weather here at any time if needed. Come to seal it, and then use the crescent moon to escape by yourself.
"It's not bad, it's not that hard to find." Lu Ning flipped the thread in her hand and found Samuanna and others walking out of the house and standing around, except for Naim who still stayed outside the house. The rest of the group went into the two rooms ahead.
"Come back." She immediately ordered the matchmaker to leave. Mimicry is not invisible. If she is found, the previous concealment will be meaningless.
Time passed slowly, everything became quiet again, and it seemed that there was really a moment of peace after the crisis. During this period, the alarm for the weather unlocking of Summer Garden No. 2 Courtyard was sounded again, and now everyone can deal with this alarm calmly. Even the most irritable Naim outside the yard didn't react at all.
While Lu Ning was thinking about the next step, the glass door was suddenly opened.
Lu Ning didn't realize who was there at first, but when she realized the problem, she knew that the person was Nimophis.
The appearance of this person made Lu Ning instinctively feel that something was wrong. He is the kind of person who is difficult to see through. Whether it is his previous words or his inexplicable calmness, it will make others feel strongly uneasy. Lu Ning definitely didn't believe that this person came into this courtyard while wandering in the garden.
Nimophis slowly walked towards Naim who was standing outside under the cover of his combat uniform, but Lu Ning couldn't even tell where he was, and Naim didn't even notice. He continued to look at the empty snowfield without realizing it.
"Not good!"
Just when Lu Ning was about to show up, a flying knife suddenly flew out of the room and was shot very accurately in the direction of Nimophis. The flying knife was shot down in mid-air, but the sound of the collision immediately alerted Naim. With a move of his hand, the mobile barrier immediately opened, blocking the door.
"who?"
Naim yelled, looked at the flying knives falling on the ground, and then looked around carefully before feeling something was wrong.
"Oh, after all, this thing is an equipment that makes people ignore themselves, rather than completely interfering with their cognition." Nimophis shook his head, slightly relieved the effect of the equipment, and looked at Naim with a smile, "You'd better not act rashly. , there won’t be any good results if we fight now.”
Naim recognized him instantly: "You are the mercenary leader!"
"I thought everyone who ambushed me would remember my appearance. It's really disappointing." Nimophis pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at Naim, "Then let me convince you to answer some questions. .”
"Persuasion?" Naim sneered.
"Yes, this gun is called the Palm Persuader. I really like this naming. Okay, how long do you think you can stop me with this thin layer of turtle shell?" Nimophis asked another He picked it up with one hand, holding a sticker between his two fingers, "I could just ban the use of mobile barriers."
"Nimophis, don't you completely think that we don't exist?" Samuanna appeared at the door, facing Nimophis with a classic aristocratic fake smile, "Or do you think that the knife just now was just Is it an accident?"
"That's what I'm most curious about, Miss." Nimophis said, "It stands to reason that my equipment cannot be discovered in a completely disturbed state. Anyone will ignore my existence, but you are so precise. The ground locked my position."
"Aiming doesn't necessarily require your senses. It's easy for your eyes and ears to deceive yourself." Samuanna pulled out three throwing knives from her bag. "Your tricks are ineffective on me, and your guns are not necessarily better than my knives." quick."
"We are all very confident in ourselves." Nimophis lowered his gun, "Your confidence comes from your strength, and my confidence comes from my planning."
"What do you mean?"
“Samu ah ah——”
A scream suddenly came from the room, followed by a warning that made Naim and Samuanna's expressions change. As soon as the lights in the sky dimmed, large amounts of flying snow began to gather, and the temperature began to drop rapidly.
"Damn!" Naim turned and rushed into the door, roaring, "Chadley! Are you still alive? That bastard is..."
"The mercenaries are not better than you. After all, we are just people who barely survive on the streets, and the education we receive is completely incomparable to yours." Nimophis bowed slightly, "But we are united and dare to bet. Take your own life."
"you……"
"You should have heard the sound of Summer Garden unlocking the weather just now."
Nimophis stretched out his hand and scratched the wall next to him, cutting a subspace passage. The man with short black hair ran out of the passage, with a face filled with the joy of having his revenge.
"Did you do that?"
"Yes." Nimophis nodded, "To be precise, it was my brothers who did it. Dougray, there is no need to panic."
"Chief, as long as you are here, we don't need to panic." The short-haired man grinned. He held a sharp knife in his hand. The blood on it quickly froze in the cold, casting a layer of red on the knife.
"I came here just to pick people up. What we have to do has been completed. All that's left is to wait for the results."
"What's the result?" Samiana was still able to keep her composure, but her tone was no longer as relaxed as before.
"I think I can tell you." Cheren County and William walked out of the collection room. William's expression was okay, but Cheren County looked like he was about to explode.
"Your progress is not slow. It's a pity that we have a prophet here." Nimophis looked at Dougray.
"You? Are you a survivor of the last garden?"
"Hey, you know this. I'm afraid the other three idiots are dead now. If you hide this kind of prophetic thing for a long time, don't you still take it to the grave?" Dougray wiped the condensation on his mouth. Bing Bian said, "But we are different. I believe in the mercenaries and I believe that the leader can use this information to do better than me. Therefore, I will not hide my secrets from my companions..."
"Cheron County, what are they going to do?"
"When we analyzed the natural crisis sequence, we also intercepted some closing records from the last time. It was just a briefing. But there is one thing that is worth noting."
——Obviously there was not enough time, but the survivors only fully unlocked two gardens last time. It stands to reason that the later props are enough to ensure survival in the weather unlocked area. In order to extend the survival time, it is natural to unlock as many as possible.
Lu Ning squatted on the roof and eavesdropped on everyone's conversation. She didn't feel much about this change, but the question that had arisen in her since Dacoran finished speaking may finally have the answer.
And this is indeed what Cheron County said.
"...Last time, even if people chose to kill each other, they were unwilling to continue to unlock the weather." Cheron County said in a cold voice, "And William gave us an explanation in the crisis trigger generated through the convergence template of the data collection system. "
"Three-quarters." Lu Ning whispered, saying that this was the point, and she already knew the reason.
"Just like a trap crisis needs to be triggered when the number of deaths reaches three-quarters, a natural crisis also needs to be triggered when the weather unlock progress reaches three-quarters." William raised his hand and gestured, "These mercenaries want the third quarter to be triggered. Four crises arrived early.”
"What?" Samuanna turned to look at Nimophis, "What good will this do to you?"
"Girl, you are still a little too young." Nimophis circled the sticker with his fingers, "We are mercenaries, mercenaries who commit murder and arson. Sometimes what you want to ask is not what good does this do to us. , but what harm will it do to my enemies."
His tone was soft and soft, but his words contained a chilling chill.
"Have you experienced this last time? Don't you know the consequences of a natural crisis coming early?" Samiana turned to Dougray again, "You will listen to what he said?"
"Since the leader said so, all you have to do is follow suit."
"You...can't understand."
"The noble people in the pavilion naturally don't understand the survival principles of the little people. Everyone, my brothers are taking action, and this place has been sealed off. You have no chance to stop them." Nimophis said.
"Then I'll kill you here first!" Naim rushed out of the house, holding two blades wrapped with lightning in both hands, and headed straight for Nimophis!
"Naim! Don't be impulsive!"
Nimophis put the gun in his hand back into his waist, and at the same time flicked his fingers on his belt, and a white mist suddenly rose around him.
"All it takes is a little heat to create smoke in this weather. Dougray, let's get out."
"Where do you want to run?" Naim instantly used the barrier to blow away the smoke, but Nimophis had already re-activated the interference effect of the costume, and Naim lost his direction again.
"Samuanna! We..."
[Warning, the lower corridor of Summer Garden...]
Hearing the alarm, Lu Ning stood up, jumped from the roof, and at the same time ordered the matchmaker: "Bring William here."
The matchmaker flew up into the snowy sky, and after landing, Lu Ning aimed a shot at Dougray.
"ha!"
Dougray turned around suddenly and avoided the laser beam.
"Sure enough, there is still an ambush. Who else would act alone at this time? There is something wrong with that William!"
"Oh." Lu Ning responded casually, took out his alchemy staff and drew a word "wind" on the snow.
Even though the snow on the ground was much thinner, it was still a considerable layer. After Lu Ning wrote this word, the snow was lifted into the sky by a strong wind and flew straight towards Dougre. Dougray knew something was wrong as soon as he saw this formation. He held his head and rolled into the snow, shouting Nimophis's name loudly.
"He can't save you."
"Oh? Lu, I didn't expect that the time we would meet again would be so short."
Nimophis's voice came from the snow, and darkness spread from the snowstorm, quickly swallowing up the entire courtyard.
"You seem to want to force me to use the script. Does that mean you have reached level five? There is no difference." Lu Ning carved the word "Light" and then opened the vision of Hu Jian, "You two at least have One is going to die here.”
"You finally have murderous intentions towards me?"
"Yes, I just had this idea." The light dispelled the darkness around Lu Ning, but further away it was still pitch black.
"You're not going to stop my brothers."
"The mind-attacking methods you used against Chellun County are of no use to me. It's better to save some energy to deal with my attacks." Lu Ning waved his hand and swept out the long stick in his hand and chanted, a sound that could be called noise echoed in all the holes. , even the sound of the surrounding wind and snow became much quieter for a while.
"Hey... this is too ugly." Nimophis replied.
The white bug circled around Lu Ning's ear, and Lu Ning frowned. Even echolocation couldn't pinpoint Nemophis's location. It seemed that ordinary detection was ineffective.
However, Dougray's voice also came from the other side: "Chief! Let's leave quickly! Use Void Devour! Just open a hole in the wall..."
"No, no, no, Dougray, our opponent is that little girl. Since she plans to attack, of course she has banned all spatial means here."
