Lu Ning and Dorian ran from the third floor to the second floor and hid in a guest room again. Now Lu Ning has completely mastered this trick.
"Hahaha, I really didn't expect that I could play tricks on these servants like this!" Probably because she had been holding it in for a long time, Dorian's first reaction after entering the door was to laugh. She was even happier than when Lu Ning was able to shoot the servants.
"It seems like these servants have really caused you a lot of trouble."
"Let's put it this way, to me they are like butchers to ordinary people. Things that cannot be killed always cause a strong sense of frustration." Dorian opened a bottle of water, "In short, we are The plan worked!"
"Yes." Lu Ning carefully peeled off the covered paper from the board. Although it was a little torn, it didn't cause much damage to the whole.
This is a letter, and the sender is, as expected, Tatyev.
[Dear Vera:
Since we exchanged our ideas last time, I have new ideas for several projects at hand. If it weren't for you and you also have a project assigned to you by the king, I really want to bring you into my project team.
What surprises me most here is the progress of the Ultrain core. The memory network formed by people's memories forms a very excellent carrier. It breaks away from the mechanical memory method of traditional AI technology and is completely a product of natural learning. Through the technology of copying thoughts, I have increased the core computing power by about a hundred times, which is already beyond the level that the king wants me to achieve.
In the pan-memory network, everything in the past is no longer a secret. This will involve some privacy issues, but I think that after we improve the core system of the superintelligence, we can keep these privacy completely confidential. After all, they are not people. I decided to name this core modeled after me Eyesight and designed an icon for it. This name means that everything will be planned in the foreseeable future.
But there are still some flaws, and I need your help, Vera. The super brain core does have extraordinary calculation and judgment capabilities under the operation of the memory network, but the problem caused by non-mechanization is that it has a certain degree of emotion, and this emotion is very close to me.
It's easy to be one-sided by getting too close to a person, and I'm not prepared to leave you with such a drawback. I need some more copies of the bright minds, this won't do you any harm and will also help my project in the future, if you are interested in this we can talk about it in detail someday.
Your loyalty
Tatyev]
Next to the signature is Eyesight's seal, which seems to have not changed since Tatyev designed it. But Lu Ning was even more surprised that the Seven Nobles were born earlier than expected.
Vera would post the letter there to indicate it was a to-do item, and cover it to indicate it had been dealt with. I just don't know what the answer is.
"This... although it is a bit unexpected, is it not that important?" Dorian was a little disappointed after reading it. "At most, the nobles appeared earlier, but this doesn't seem to change the current situation."
"Well... let me take a look at other things." Lu Ning reached out to uncover the rest of the paper.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the corridor. The two of them were startled and approached the door. After the scream, there were only some strange knocking sounds in the corridor. It was not too loud, but it was shocking. I feel a chill in my back.
"Doesn't this sound like a servant?" Lu Ning frowned.
"I don't know, I haven't heard anything like this even in battle." Dorian said.
After about a minute, the sounds disappeared. The two waited for a while before opening the door a small crack and looking outside. There seemed to be nothing in the corridor...
Lu Ning's eyes quickly turned downward, and at the same time he took out the maid's gun and pointed it there. Just under the two people's feet, a ball of meat the size of a basketball was rapidly growing into arms and legs, but they were not flesh and blood structures. , Lu Ning immediately opened fire. After three gunshots that sounded like bells, the fleshy egg began to decompose into black-red pus from the location of the gunshot wound. An almost fragmented face struggled to stretch out from the crack, growing up. His mouth was open, but he could not make any sound because he had no tongue.
Lu Ning could barely recognize this face as one of Liu Yunqing's teammates.
"I'm sorry, rest in peace."
This time she pulled out Yuguo Tianqing, and the sound of raindrops falling to the ground exploded on the surface of the meat. The limbs that continued to grow outwards finally stopped growing and could not recover. They were slowly transformed into harmless blood by the time bullet.
"This man..." Dorian said in surprise.
"This is one of the people who came with me. It's obvious that there is trouble." Lu Ning pushed the door open and finally saw the corridor further away covered with radioactive plasma, but the murderer had long since disappeared.
"I didn't know there was such a monster in the Time Pavilion!" Dorian couldn't help but feel her scalp numb when she saw it. The servant's time attack was weird but not terrifying. At least it was a bit beautiful, but this scene in the corridor It was pure massacre, and no one would feel good after watching it.
"We have to find a way to escape as soon as possible. We can't stay here any longer!" Lu Ning stepped over the blood on the ground, took out his pocket watch and started to generate a barrier, "Dorian, do you remember that you found Vera's research results before? Room?"
"Remember!"
"This time we pass through the barrier and we go there!"

Yan Rong saw masses of flesh and blood in a corridor on the first floor, and his scalp suddenly felt numb. She was all too familiar with this scene. The Splitter would create inferior derivative individuals by tearing apart souls. Although these derivative individuals are not immortal, they are still difficult to eliminate. It is estimated that all the people who came to the Time Pavilion before have already Transformed by the Ripper. It's no wonder that those servants all look like the living dead. It is estimated that all their souls are gone. Only such bodies can serve as "jailers".
The red net began to spread along the corridor, and all the pieces of meat were crushed into pieces by the corrosive force of "Death of the Berserker". But even so, some pieces of meat were still squirming on the ground trying to recover. Yan Rong quickly rushed over. In this corridor, when I came to the door, I found something like a lens blocking the door, moving as slow as a turtle crawling.
"What is this?" She frowned.
【I found you~】
A ghastly voice sounded from behind Yan Rong. She turned her head and found that the lysator was coming down the stairs. Her block-like body had accumulated more blocks. There were still traces of tissues and organs on these fresh blocks, and the lysate There was a weird smile on the person's head covered with cracks, and the two arms further back were pressing the person's body inwards, forming it into a ball.
[I really need to thank you. I have to learn how to use my power. Only when I have an opponent can I grow... Come on, you will definitely become my best dependent...]
"I'm too lazy to fight something like you." Yan Rong pouted, "You still can't escape from this space, right? Even if you want to chase someone, you have to try your luck. Even if your family members are attacked, you will have to try your luck. Sensing, your speed here is too slow."
[You can’t run away——]
"Goodbye~" Yan Rong made a gesture of goodbye with his finger on his forehead, turned around and rushed directly into the lens.
The cracker sneered, but did not continue to chase. Instead, he threw the newly kneaded piece of meat into the corridor, turned around and continued to find the next time barrier.
Lu Ning and Dorian came to the third floor again. Naturally, there were no servants on the third floor at this time. They came to the door that Dorian was familiar with. Just as they were about to open the door, Lu Ning suddenly felt that His shoulders felt slightly warm.
"Dorian, wait." She touched something on the back of her shoulder with her backhand. She didn't bring anything with her, but she just took out a kettle.
She thought about it for a few seconds before remembering what was in the kettle.
"Hello? Lu Ning?"
"Lan Tu? Did you get off the train?"
"I came down early...I think I got a bus later than you." Lan Tu's voice was still very stable, "We accepted a reward and wanted to check the strength of several prisons. I didn't expect that I could be sensed here in the Time Pavilion. The flames left before. What happened? How did you get in?"
"This is where Vera lived."
"I know, this place is quite famous. The question is, why are you going in there? To pay homage to Sir Vera's body?"
"We want to know if Vera left any treasure or something like that. Isn't this a ruins?"
"That's true..." Lan Tu said, "What's going on inside?"
Lu Ning gave a rough summary.
"There are quite a few of you. I met two of you outside. Are there actually so many people inside?"
"They're all gone!"
"Don't worry, the Time Pavilion is not a maze connecting the past and the future."
"What? But we do span different times here—"
"Time can isolate my flames. The Pavilion of Time itself still exists in the current time, so we can communicate. However, you must have a confused sense of time inside. You don't know whether minutes or decades have passed. "
Lu Ning glanced at Dorian.
Lan Tu continued without pausing: "The state in the Pavilion of Time should be a projection state. How to put it... It's like things are happening in different places at the same time. This is happening at different times at the same time..."
"You'd better stop going around. I know what you want to express. Just ask, is there any way we can get out?"
"Just go back to the starting point. You will definitely not meet your past selves inside. It's just that ordinary people can't calibrate the projection axis. I will give you some external help... um..."
After a while, Lu Ning felt the kettle in her hand getting colder.
"Now you can use the heat to judge the time you are away from the origin. This is actually not a maze. All the projections are connected to each other, and they are only designed to imprison a particularly dangerous existence here."
"What particularly dangerous existence?" Lu Ning put the pot in his backpack again, reached out and opened the door in front of him, and a personal office with similar furnishings to the one in the research institute appeared in front of him. There was obviously a royal emblem pressing several documents on the table. Dorian pointed out: "That's it... Vera's research results are the second copy of the pile of documents, but it was pressed with my treasure before. of!"
"Go right in." Lu Ning rushed into the office, grabbed the badge and stuffed it into his pocket, then quickly counted the documents on the table and pulled out an envelope.
[To Vera:
The mind copy has been successfully copied, thank you very much for your assistance.
According to the agreement we signed, your copy will remain confidential until both of you and I are no longer alive.
There is a free gift enclosed with the letter. This independently developed memory network may make you look back on the past. I know what happened at that time, but I insist that as long as people are still alive, everything can be redeemed. We cannot accept losing any more.
Take care of yourself.
Tatyev]
Lu Ning quickly browsed the letter, then integrated a photo of the letter into her robe, and asked Dorian: "When will the servant outside arrive?"
"I don't know...I didn't see anyone coming!"
"What?" She immediately looked up, "Not a single servant came?"
At this moment, a strange singing sound sounded in the corridor.
[Stop, stop, stop... Those lost souls lingered on the monument in the wilderness for several days. Bite, devour, disappear...all dead things are covered with old rotten corpses at the end of purgatory. 】
Dorian suddenly covered her forehead and let out a scream.
【Are you worried? Afraid? Your courage is arguing with your cowardice. Sad? Doubtful? Is what I did just or evil? When we openly admit our selfishness, isn't that just an excuse for selfishness? We achieve our future by killing, but have we ever questioned whether we are qualified to bring death? 】
"Stop singing! Stop singing!" Dorian screamed, "We have no choice! We are born to bear the responsibility of killing! Why not question those who made us like this? Why blame us? ?”
"Dorian!" Lu Ning shouted loudly, but the sound could not reach Dorian's ears at all.
[You have spent a long time here. Is it because you cannot leave or are you unwilling to leave? 】
Dorian slowly knelt on the ground. She looked panicked and stretched out her hand towards the door.
"Killing...I hate that kind of life...I just...do what I have to do...what is the point of meaningless killing..."
A skeletal arm poked in from outside the door. There were many broken marks on the bones, which were repaired by more bones and made it extremely ugly, but Dorian stretched out her hand and reached for the broken arm.
Ding, da.
Lu Ning opened fire, and the bullet of time hit the door frame, and Yuguo Tianqing exploded on his arm, shattering the bone-stained arm again. Then, the wall above the door, which had been reduced to sand, collapsed and would fall off. His arms were buried.
"Come out." Lu Ning said in a cold tone.
[It’s amazing that you are not corroded by the echo of your soul at all. 】
The blocky body of the building blocks appeared at the door, and a face covered with cracks poked out with a scary smile.
