White Rose can enter the library through transformation, so other tourists must have their own methods. The library opens something that is marked as an important matter by the distribution center, and every visitor will try to participate, or even... not just simply participate.
The two of them would not talk about secret matters on such an occasion, but Lu Ning and Shang Wenxue did not need to rely on words to communicate.
"How do you feel about the lectures these days?" Lu Ning started the "conversation" with an opening that was very similar to a student's chat.
"I have attended several lectures and met many famous teachers. It's just that although the teachers are good in knowledge, their teaching skills are different. The Emperor's Sage may not necessarily be better at giving lectures than the Grand Magister." White Rose pretended to sigh, He cut the steak in front of him with a knife and fork, "What about you? Have you met a better teacher?"
"If I don't like the people I meet, it would be difficult to adapt to them." Lu Ning shrugged, "Besides, I am studying alchemy. There are not many lectures on this subject, so I don't have much to choose from."
"So... have you been to the Turquoise District?"
Lu Ning shook her head.
"You should go there when you have time." White Rose picked up a piece of steak, "Taoist arts, physical arts, immortal arts and strange sects are popular in the Turquoise District. However, although they have their own systems, they are also good at drawing parallels and are not completely closed. magic system."
"I can't even take care of alchemy right now." Lu Ning waved her hand.
"Okay, I just recommend it. There are two other teachers. If you have free time, you can listen to their classes. You may be able to understand some of the arcane and natural spells."
"Which two?"
"The arcane one's name is Laiding, and the natural one's name is Xupalol. Let me write it down for you." Bai Meigui took out a notebook and wrote quickly, tore it out, folded it, and handed it to Lu Ning.
"Thank you very much."
"It's all about helping each other."
“But since you’ve been to Turquoise, you’ve probably also been to Opal District?”
"After several times." White Rose nodded.
"There is a shop called Hot and Sour Cocktail there. The fried food they sell is delicious." Lu Ning said with a smile, "And the people in the shop are very friendly. Once you get to know them, they will give you some extra snacks or something."
"Really? Then I'll definitely go over and take a look when I get the chance."
The two of them were having this kind of random chat, like two students with nothing to do, until after lunch, Lu Ning got up and sent the plate to the recycling table, while Bai Meiwei waved her hand to express her gratitude. They had to sit for a while before they separated.
Lu Ning stretched slightly and walked outside the library. No one was monitoring her coming and going, and there were many people coming and going around, making it inconspicuous at all. Lu Ning turned a few steps in the direction where some people were walking, found a bathroom and walked in.
She locked the compartment and took out the folded piece of paper from her pocket.
That's two pieces of paper. The technique is very simple. Write the words on the back piece of paper in advance, and then tear off the two pieces together when writing today. But Shang Wenxue's hands are very steady, and the two pieces of paper are no different from one stacked.
"How brave..."
Lu Ning had to sigh when she saw that the names on the first piece of paper were not even those two. Shang Wenxue directly wrote a short message.
"One person died trying to enter inside. He is suspected to be a tourist."
This news may have just been learned, so Shang Wenxue added this sentence. However, there is no definite information such as identity and name, and it is probably still in the doubtful stage.
The second piece of paper was filled with dense information. Bai Meigui's identity was extremely convenient, and Shang Wenxue was a person with no taboos. He had almost visited the twelve districts outside Evarang in so many days. Lu Ning took a closer look and saw a total of seven messages.
A high platform has been built in the backyard of the Penglai House in the Garnet District. It is not certain what is being done, but the Penglai House itself does not seem to have a reason to do so.
A serious serial magic collapse occurred in a gemstone store in the Amethyst District not long after its public announcement. Not only did the store suffer huge losses, it also caused the surrounding magic to be severely disrupted in a short period of time. The store has reopened, but the owner has stayed behind the scenes and no longer visits the store.
Lucivia from the Diamond District has been receiving frequent invitations and invitations from unknown people recently. She was so disturbed that her teacher rejected them from the bulletin board and warned the sender. According to the information White Rose received from the underground forces, these invitations were not sent through them. It is suspected that someone delivered them in person.
A magic book contamination disaster broke out in the Emerald District and Sapphire District one night. About ten contaminated people escaped before the guards arrived, and the incident only spread within a small area. Ten contaminated persons were arrested by guards within the next two days. At the same time, a similar incident was suspected to have occurred in Opal District, but no one escaped and could not be traced.
During a previous lecture in the Olivine District, teachers and students in the classroom collectively fell into coma. It lasted about an hour or so, during which nothing special happened. The strange thing is that the teachers and students who woke up from the coma continued the lecture. It was not until the end of the lecture that they discovered that they were an hour late. They called the magic network surveillance there to discover this.
In Topa District, Pu Yun Caizang, the next head of the Pu Yun family who had returned earlier, was assassinated. The assassin used a mixture of ninjutsu and onmyoji to kill one of them. However, it also caused the real guards sent by the Puyun family to Caizang to appear from among the warriors. The Pu Yun family is currently investigating, and the four families currently in charge of Topa District have to get involved, otherwise they will inevitably be suspected.
In the Turquoise District, White Rose met the Ranger Hawkeye there. The two had met earlier and after exchanging their experiences in Evar Gallery, they both knew something was going to happen behind this. They agreed to exchange information every few days and planned to find opportunities to explore various parts of the central city.
The last item, "we met earlier" was specially written twice, and Lu Ning understood it immediately, but there was no contact information for Hawkeye, probably because the other party didn't trust strangers very much.
The note slowly turned into ashes in the flames raised by the fingers.
"Part of it is a known thing, and the other part is really strange... It's still not possible to connect these things together, let alone what else guys like the Star Ring Sect will do."
As soon as she walked out of the bathroom, the light around her suddenly dimmed.
"...It's my turn this time?"
The darkness did not completely block the light. The brightness was about the same as in the library. Without the glowing spheres, the visibility was lower, but you could still see the surroundings slightly.
Lu Ning opened her mouth and shouted, then quickly moved to another place.
Nothing at all.
"There's also soundproofing."
In such an emergency situation, it is impossible for so many people in the library to remain calm and silent. The only possibility is that the light is blocked and there is sound insulation. But now it's not easy for Lu Ning to judge whether it was the work of the council or the insider. After all, both sides have reasons to strike first.
At this moment, the expected comfort rang in his ears.
"Please don't panic. We are conducting a temporary response drill at noon. We need to ensure that the security measures in the library are operating normally. At this time, the library is not obstructed. As long as you stand still, everything will be over soon. Back to normal."
Lu Ning didn't listen to the "not moving" argument, and started groping forward according to her own memory.
The drill must be an excuse, but it's probably not a lie to ensure that everyone is safe. But she believed that many people would not really stand there. After all, this darkness was light- and sound-proof, and normal exercises did not require these means.
She kept walking along the wall, but soon stopped.
"According to the distance we came in, we should have arrived at the main entrance of the library now..."
There was a wall at hand, and she had indeed moved from the bathroom door, indicating that she was not standing still in the dark. And it was impossible to keep moving forward by touching the wall, and it was impossible to go around in circles because of a confused sense of direction. There was no problem with her memory.
"It's the formation - no, it's not right."
Lu Ning suddenly raised her head and suddenly saw a faint fluorescent light above her head. She instantly rolled on the spot. The fluorescent light fell on her head when she saw it, and she missed her by a hair's breadth!
Hereby——
The moment the fluorescent light hit the ground, it made a sound like water being thrown on fire, and Lu Ning also threw out an alchemy bomb.
Fluorescent raised his hand to grab it, but unexpectedly, the bomb detonated immediately in the middle of the flight. What exploded from the inside was not flames and impact, but a strong flash! Being struck by the sudden appearance of the bright flash sword, Fluorescence immediately froze.
"Have vision." Lu Ning secretly thought. She tilted her head in advance so that her eyes were not flashed. At this time, she took advantage of the pause of the fluorescent light to carefully observe the other party's condition.
It looks a lot like a ghost, but it's not. It possesses a certain degree of physicality, with the vague outline of a human being present within it. It seemed that it had not yet finished growing, and it was only briefly knocked out of combat by a flash of light, but Lu Ning didn't think she could really hurt this thing.
Wait - fluorescent, soul-like, this thing seems to be suppressed by the surrounding darkness, so the surrounding darkness should be a means of oppression from the parliament?
Lu Ning's mind was spinning, but her hand didn't stop, and she took out an alchemy bomb again - she had prepared several for today.
When the fluorescent light saw that Lu Ning had taken out another bomb, it immediately flew into the air again. At this moment, a more dazzling light shot out from diagonally above, penetrating the fluorescent body, turning it into a ball of light powder and dissipating. Lu Ning's gaze immediately moved to the direction of the attacker.
A figure fell from the sky.
"Lu Ning, I beat you this time."
Lu Ning discovered that the sound came from her own mouth.
"Fujii Yukine."
"it's me."
The other party happened to be standing at a distance that could not be seen clearly. Lu Ning did not get closer and kept this distance.
"It seems that you are the one who sent the message to Pengshan Yuanzi."
"It's me too. In this scene, I discovered your identity obviously earlier, right?" Fujii Yukine's words through Lu Ning's mouth still contained a hint of happiness, very simple happiness.
"As for that? Isn't it just a confrontation?"
"It seems that you, who rushed to the third level, are not qualified to say that to me." Fujii Yukine shook his head, "In short, I don't have as many luck advantages as you in this scene, but I have the convenience of free movement. Before the library is opened, So far, I have basically understood the situation in the outside world, except for the Violet Library."
"Then you are really amazing." Lu Ning let her go. Fujii's competitive spirit was a bit too strong, but he didn't really have the mentality to compete with the other party - speaking of which, was Cheng Wuling the same as him?
"No need for false politeness. You should know that this dark time will not last long. The guy just now..."
"It's related to the magic book." Lu Ning hurriedly interrupted her, "We'd better find something unknown between the two parties to talk to here. After all, when the darkness ends, I'm afraid our position will not be like this. "
"Eh? You know?"
"Fujii, I don't necessarily need evidence to prove something before I make a judgment." Lu Ning smiled and said, "Let's ask each other two questions that we think the other party knows. You ask first."
Fujii Yukine only paused for a second and immediately started asking questions as Lu Ning said.
"Who are the special targets of the Star Ring Sect? You should know, right?"
"Simple, I, Elaire, Hawkeye, Stevenson and Lucivia. You can try to find a ninja soldier named Saber to verify this matter."
"These five? That's easy to handle... The second question is, are there any problems with the identities of the four magicians from the Nameless Sea?"
"They should not be directly related to this incident, but I think they will still be involved in this incident for some reason. After all, they are too conspicuous to us."
"Okay." Fujii Yukiyin answered readily, and Lu Ning immediately started asking her two questions.
"How many people have died before being captured so far?"
"As far as I know, there are seven in total, and I don't rule out more. They are distributed in various areas of Evarang, and there is no absolute connection between them. Do you need a name?"
"No, it doesn't matter. The second question - what has Pengshan Yuanzi prepared?"
"Didn't she tell you? Oh, she and a few people worked together to build a replica of the God's Ceremony Platform in her backyard."
"What it is?"
"It's the thing you know, but that thing can only fill in twenty names, and its function is different from the original version. The twenty people whose names are written will enter the realm of virtuality and reality through the soul-guiding flags, and will be displayed in the present The body of the world will turn into a false thing. To put it simply, it is a piggy bank that can save lives. Once the outside body dies, it will return to the Conferred God Platform. By cutting off the virtual and real realm of the Conferred God Stage, the human body inside can be released. Reality, it’s just that this thing is disposable.”
"I see……"
"Despite this, the false physical death from the outside world still means that we have been eliminated in this scene. After all, this is a deception of life and death. If it is not cut off at the moment of return, the person holding the sword will probably be struck by five thunders and die. This is Yuanzi’s original words.”
