"So, Lu Ning has confirmed the existence of Mo Ningyan."
In an operating room, Du Xieyi was performing an operation on a medical training doll produced at the operating bed distribution center. New treatment content kept popping up on the instruments next to him, and he scored the completed parts. Now he has gone through four " Medium” surgery, and the ratings are all 100%.
Tong Yan sat on another operating bed in the room and told her.
"Peeping into each member's private life is not a good interest." Du Xieyi teased him.
"No matter what, the training room is considered a public area. And I must provide appropriate guidance to those ten people according to the instructions from my superiors. Most of them are not suitable to go to the fourth level."
"It sounds like...you are not at level four, right?" Du Xieyi quickly completed the suturing, and the score for the fifth operation was also given, 100%.
"I am one of the few people who does not need to be concealed." Tong Yan replied calmly, "The fourth-level test cannot shake me. If I am fully prepared, I can continue to upgrade."
"You, old man, are indeed a scary guy." Du Xieyi glanced at the pop-up next surgery indicator and asked casually, "So now that they know each other, it's time for the distribution center to take action, right?"
"Yes, the distribution center probably won't waste too much time. After all, this kind of personal grudges will basically be resolved at the third level, and no one knows how long a person will stay at the third level."
"Tsk."
The scalpel cut open the simulated skin again. Du Xieyi's eyes were very focused, but she still had time to speak.
"But how to deal with it? You don't need to tell me, I'm not the party involved."
"Although this is a normal incident, once two people who are under special care are involved, you have to be more cautious. So I want to ask you for a favor."
"Go and reconcile the conflicts between them?"
"No, one-sided hatred cannot be reconciled, and they are all people with their own ideas. I just want to ensure that none of them die because of such boring things."
"That's much simpler." Du Xieyi nodded slightly, "Just bring the person back alive?"
"Well, I think the problem will almost be solved by then. After all, it's not that irreconcilable."
"Old man, you don't seem to be worried about my safety at all."
"There is no scenario where I will kill you in Level 3."
"...Your compliments are really hardcore."

Lu Ning walked around the station and didn't meet any other acquaintances. She left before going to the hospital.
Fortunately, the magic book pollution was eliminated before it broke out due to her return, so the consumption this time was not very high, and it would not make her lose any profit due to the low income this time. But even so, she has to start the next scene immediately after the free stay period ends, otherwise she may have to touch her deposit soon.
"Ah...it's really..."
On the way back to Zhiyuan, Lu Ning stretched a little tiredly, but saw someone through the light.
Not a friend, but a guy she had almost forgotten. After all, he didn't actually cause her any actual harm, but he was definitely not a good person - Xiang Yi.
Lu Ning was walking across a viaduct. She was in such a high position that the other party couldn't see her. Xiang Yi was walking under the bridge, holding a map in his hand. He seemed to be a third-level newcomer. As expected, there was no one around him, and it should be the same with his twisted character.
But since Xiang Yi has come to the third level, he should report to the puppet party here, right?
Now, although Lu Ning has not yet mastered the skills of frontal combat, he has already mastered a lot of stealth skills. Coupled with Heiye and her understanding of the terrain of the third-level distribution center, it is strange that he can find her.
But as she walked, Lu Ning felt something was wrong, because the path Xiang Yi took was roughly the same as the way she took home.
"Is there a doll party living in Zhiyuan?"
After Xiang Yi walked into the gate of his community, Lu Ning was also surprised. She didn't know the identities of Helena's people in the Four Seasons Garden before, and it happened that no one she knew told her, so now Lu Ning still only regards those people as mavericks.
But she had to wait for a while, because due to Zhiyuan's security measures, it was impossible to enter without making any noise. At that time, Xiang Yiwan would be able to recognize her if he looked back.
"Wait a minute, since he has risen to the third level, then..."

Four days later, when Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi went shopping, they met an acquaintance again.
This is a non-staple food shop that the two of them often come to. The dishes are very consistent with their tastes, so they come here often. However, this time after Lu Ning entered the door, a person sitting at a table in the shop immediately stood up. Walked up to her.
"Lu Ning...is that you?"
Lu Ning carried two bags of things she had bought before and stared at the unshaven man with sunken eyes for a while, and then he vaguely saw some familiarity in the outline.
"Fan Hao?"
After a while, the three of them sat back at the table.
Lu Ning was a little surprised. Her recognition ability was able to recognize a person with a long beard based on an original photo. Fan Hao's current appearance was not a simple change, he simply lost his appearance. And this was in the distribution center It must have been caused by a major mental blow.
"Why are you the only one here? Where are the others? Where is Xuan Zhitong?"
"Xuan Zhitong is okay." Fan Hao whispered.
"Xuan Zhitong is okay - all of you?" Lu Ning immediately realized the hidden meaning of this sentence.
Ning Yeyi patted her shoulder and said, "Anyway, let's talk about what's going on."
"Because we heard that Xiang Yi will be promoted in the near future, we finally decided to launch a blockade before then. This is what everyone meant. After all, most of the people in the team have experienced it before... no one can let go of that kind of hatred. "
"I remember your team was very big." Ning Yeyi used a calm tone to adjust the atmosphere of the conversation.
"It was originally very big, but after that time there were fewer people. Later, some joined and some left, and those who remained were those who were really willing to stick together to survive. They may be many people, even weak in your eyes, but we We are still family." Fan Hao held a glass of water and said in a low tone.
Without him having to say anything, Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi naturally understood what happened.
"It seems that you have underestimated Xiang Yi... No, since this happened, it means that Xiang Yi must have counter-detected your actions. This is a counterattack launched by the puppet party, right?" Ning Ye Yi chose the words and avoided the parts that might irritate Fan Hao.
"Yes." Fan Hao nodded, "He deliberately showed weakness in the scene where we took the initiative, saved his life in front of him, and then made the illusion of being in a hurry to advance. After we won a victory, everyone felt that revenge was possible. We couldn't let him run away, so... we gathered most of the core members of the team to chase him and upgrade."
This plan sounded really easy to see through to Lu Ning, but that was also based on her knowing Xiang Yi's strength. How could Fan Hao and others, who were originally in a chasing position, know how much Xiang Yi was truly capable?
"At least... your people are still in the second level." Ning Yeyi quickly understood.
"But how can I go back and tell them..." Fan Hao held his forehead in despair, "And everyone...the most important people are no longer here, and now..."
"How is Xuan Zhitong?" Lu Ning asked again, this time her tone was calmer.
"eccentric."
"It's easy to become like this when you are stimulated, right? So you are anxious to find someone to help. After all, you are already like this, and nothing can happen to the other survivor." Ning Yeyi said.
"I'm okay, I was just thinking about... how to explain to my teammates and what to do next. I never let Xuan Zhitong think so much, but now it seems that this may not be a good idea, because at least I can still Worried, but Xuan Zhitong seems to be no longer worried."
"Now, take us there, right away." Lu Ning said three words very stiffly.
A very affordable house, not too big in area, with barely enough security around it. Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi followed Fan Hao into the house and saw many books piled up in the neat interior. Xuan Zhitong was sitting among the books, leaning on the table and flipping through a very thick book.
"Xuan Zitong?"
"Sister Lu Ning, are you here? Brother Fan Hao can really find you?" Xuan Zhitong's eyes lit up when he saw her.
"..."
Which one is worse? Lu Ning once hoped that Xuan Zhitong would let go of some of her worries, at least be able to communicate with others smoothly, participate in various scenes in the distribution center normally, and understand other things. She did not say these words, but she also tried to correct them through conversation. But now...Xuan Zhitong no longer has that problem.
She is so normal that it feels abnormal.
"Speaking of which, I'm surprised myself. I don't know when I started to speak normally. It's really refreshing without having to talk intermittently." Xuan Zhitong was obviously very happy to see Lu Ning again, "Even studying I also feel that reading silently is much better, maybe it’s a psychological effect.”
"Um...Xuan Zitong." Lu Ning finally waited for her to finish the conversation, "Are you really okay?"
"I know that Brother Fan Hao is worried about this matter now. But I think it is useless to worry, because that will not kill Xiang Yi to avenge his companions. We must make more effective plans to improve ourselves."
Lu Ning and Ning Yeyi looked at each other and could see the helplessness in each other's eyes.
"You don't have to worry about my problems. I am indeed sad about everyone's death. Because of this, I work harder. This time I understand the gap between us and Xiang Yi, but at least we have reached the third level, and we are still There is a chance to finish him off, and revenge will only end if he dies."
"Fan Hao, come out with me for a moment." Ning Yeyi waved her hand, leaving Lu Ning here to deal with Xuan Zitong.
"Anyway, you know what you're doing now?"
"I know what you mean by coming here, Sister Lu Ning. Brother Fan Hao is very worried about my mental state, but I just changed from the silent attitude of revenge to an upright attitude. This should be considered a good thing, right? I have no other choice. After all the changes, I am still the same me who is bent on revenge."
"Okay, do you have a plan?"
"It's planned in the next scene. I don't think it will take long, because although we were almost wiped out, it also slowed down Xiang Yi's progress. We even killed everyone around him, but we just lost in the end. . Because of this, I think there is hope. The points earned from this upgrade are not many. Xiang Yi will definitely be eager to start the next game. Considering that it is the first time to come to the third level, he may use up the free time as a way to understand I am prepared for the situation here, but I will definitely not be able to hold back. We have played against each other several times in the scene, and I know some of his habits."
"If you can think about it so carefully, it will make people feel more reassured." Lu Ning nodded.
"Let me tell you, Sister Lu Ning, crazy Avengers will destroy everything, but only calm Avengers will pick the fruits. I am indeed easily excited now, but I promise that the moment I see Xiang Yi, I will calm down and plan. His death.”
"You can do it." Lu Ning patted her head and smiled, "Do you remember why I was promoted so early? There is someone I have been chasing. I came here to catch up with her."
"You must have done it, right?"
"Ah... even so." Lu Ning nodded, "Indeed, some gaps are not as big as you think, as long as you can understand where these gaps are."
After the two chatted for a few more words, Lu Ning stood up and went out to look at Ning Yeyi and Fan Hao.
"How was your discussion?" Lu Ning asked.
"I roughly understood the scene and when Xuan Zhitong changed in it. It was indeed after she suddenly fell into a disadvantage. She gave up first, and then Fan Hao gave up and continued to look for opportunities in that scene, but what happened next is unpredictable. .What about you? What’s wrong with her changing so much?”
"I'm not a psychologist." Lu Ning shook her head. "She thinks clearly and has a clear purpose. Except for the huge difference in attitude, her focus on revenge seems to have never wavered."
"Many mentally ill people can pretend to be normal." Ning Yeyi said.
"After all, she calls herself a calm Avenger."
"Or a rational madman. Lu Ning, I know many people who have undergone tremendous changes. No matter how normal these people look on the outside, they are already turbid on the inside. In short, I don't believe that with such a change, her brain She didn’t have any abnormal thoughts, or she didn’t even notice the abnormality herself.”
Lu Ning glanced at Fan Hao.
"Well, as I said, I'm not a psychologist. I can only draw conclusions based on human nature and my own observation methods."
Fan Hao looked at her sadly.
"Her desire for revenge has not changed, and she is also trying her best to improve herself. These are all good things... Yes." Lu Ning clicked her fingers, "But at least when she speaks unkindly, she has always been nice to me. She was called by her first name without ever adding the word 'sister'."
