The idea of clones actually came to Lu Ning after Long Tiangang confirmed the notes. To be honest, it is not surprising. Lu Ning has seen it many times, whether in personal experience or reading from records, while the others probably don't have any real experience and cannot understand what it means to have many copies of themselves.
In order to prevent unnecessary trouble, Lu Ning still explained this aspect to them in detail, within appropriate limits. This is necessary. No matter how smart a person is, if they are not mentally prepared to see someone who is exactly the same as themselves, they are prone to be stunned for a moment and have a short-circuit in their brains. Generally speaking, they can see people at close range. When he found his own clone, this moment was quite fatal.
"I think this is how things should die. Including the president just now, I am afraid that he is not the original body, but also a copied body. Otherwise, his memory would not be so confusing in the end."
"It's simply appalling." Long Tiangang nodded slowly twice.
"Of course, in the previous paragraph, I think the president became the person who triggered this red prison. I think it can be used as a basis. From this point of view, maybe Yan Meng knew something, but she still died because of breaking the rules. " Lu Ning said.
"Wait a minute, wouldn't Zhou Shilan and Chen Hang... be in danger?" Yan Zidan's tone suddenly became anxious.
"With Duan Ye there, small things won't be a problem, and big things can't be avoided. And now we don't have time to take care of them. I'm thinking about another thing now."
"What?" Xin Mi asked.
"Since the people from Baligong constructed the entire Red Prison with President Zheng Yun as the trigger point, and his clone appears here again, I will think boldly. Since the President will appear in this place that is beyond his reach. In the theater, is he actually on every floor?"
"What are you talking about? This kid is on every floor? We have never seen-"
Deng Zhiyi was interrupted by Xin Mi just in the middle of his words.
"The maze zombies are indeed so dehydrated that they can no longer recognize their original appearance. We didn't dare to go inside the breeding farm at all, and the floor that was full of cabinets also had too many drawers and we didn't have time to open them one by one."
Her words undoubtedly agreed with Lu Ning.
"But...but...how many floors are we moving on together? The parts we have walked through so far are relatively safe, right?" Yan Zidan was a little unable to react for a while.
Lu Ning raised her finger: "First of all, the floors that originally existed will probably not be counted, so the ninth floor where we saw the red bead monster before is probably not there. But the other few are worthy of discussion. We have already seen them in the theater. Moreover, it is hidden in a mechanism and requires certain means to see it, but what about the other ones?"
The two floors of the supermarket and the mouse?
After being reminded here, Yan Zidan finally understood.
"You mean...the limbs placed in the supermarket freezer...and the people in the rat nest who are still whining..."
"I'm not sure, after all, we have never really put the president back together." Lu Ning shrugged, "But if these are all true, it is not difficult to deduce that the entire Red Prison was actually created from the president's flesh and blood as the initial infinite copy. Yes, he exists on every level, enduring suffering forever in this flesh and blood purgatory - I don’t know the reason, probably there must be such a suffering person to complete the summoning of it in the human world."
"But how will this help us get out?" Xin Mi frowned, "This can only understand the cause, but it cannot be used to find a way out."
"That's right, probably even the president himself doesn't know where the way out is. We have also tried it, but there is no simple way to get out, and we can't set it up like that." Lu Ning smiled, "But the elimination method It can also help us find a way. Oh, maybe it's not elimination."
"What?"
"I have been thinking about some issues about this Red Prison. The constant changes in the elevator room prove that if there are not many elevators here, then the time in the elevators will be non-directional. Either way, it shows that there is a certain amount of time and space here. The chaos. Secondly, that team, the origin of those clones, they were attacking crazily, but they were just recording, and they were as loyal as an army. Such a team did not take any actual detection measures, but was killing. And judging from this, they are also being killed.”
"So it's strange, right? There are many survivors here. Whether they are clones or not, according to what you said, they are all trying to survive." Deng Zhiyi said.
Lu Ning nodded: "But what if this team is not a survivor?"
"You want to say that they are just an exploration team? How..." Xin Mi stopped suddenly in the middle of his words.
"I think you have already thought of it, Miss Xin Mi." Lu Ning laughed again and reached out to touch the equipment, "The time, space and cause and effect here are not fixed, because as long as they are fixed, the evil ghosts here will have The possibility of escaping from prison. Even if the Red Prison is summoned to the human world, it still faithfully performs its task of imprisoning everything inside. It is impossible to set a jailer, probably because such a thing does not exist at all. This is a place that does not need a jailer. "
"So? These equipment are for us?" Qian Yipeng picked up a gas mask doubtfully.
"We prepared it for us...that's what I think. The way to leave, we knew from the beginning."
"In the beginning?" Deng Zhiyi was stunned.
"In the prison of Hades, evil spirits are imprisoned and sins are punished until everything on the body is washed away... isn't it?" Lu Ning shook the bow in her hand, "You have to suffer here until the suffering you experience is enough to wash away all the troubles on your body. Only sin can leave.”
"But what sin do we have? Why should the living be judged?" Deng Zhiyi shouted.
"Who allowed this thing to appear in the world?" Lu Ning looked at Xin Mi, "I think you already know what I want to say."
"All of this is our own behavior." Xin Mi nodded, "Creating clones, slaughtering and being killed, the fonts on the elevator, all of this is what we have to do, use a large number of clones to compress The time of enduring suffering allows you to quickly leave the Red Prison...but is this really a feasible method?"
"Yes, even before we thought about it, the result was already presented before our eyes." Lu Ning nodded, "But it seems that we will definitely do this."
"It's a bit... incomprehensible." Yan Zidan scratched his head, "These people are made by us in the future and then sent back to the past... like this?"
"There is no past or future, it is the present, we are doing this. Of course, there are no plurals of us, I believe we are all the same, but in order to implement the plan, we chose to make copies, regardless of whether we had this idea or not, when All of this happened while we were in this building."
"In other words, as long as 'we' endure the suffering here, we can escape from here, right?" Qian Yipeng was relatively calm, "But there is another problem here. If the cause and the result appear at the same time, , so many results appeared together, and we are executing this plan without question. In the end, the suffering should be completed the moment we enter here."
Unexpectedly, the person who accepted this the fastest was Qian Yipeng.
"Because there is a missing link." Lu Ning said easily.
"...Even if we can take some tricks, we can't completely avoid it?" Xin Mi asked.
"Yes, probably no matter how much pain is shared through the clone, a part of the original body will still remain, so we ourselves cannot avoid it. And this creates another problem."
"How to accept the pain of the Red Prison without letting yourself die?" Long Tiangang asked.
"exactly."
After all, this is the hell that those people at Bali Gong deliberately summoned to the world. There was no other means in between. Lu Ning didn't believe it. In any case, she would not bet here on the possibility of whether the dead copy of the original body could still get out, and judging from the handwriting that had appeared, if the black words belonged to the kind of words left by the team, the red letters might be different.
There are still other variables here, and you must leave the Red Prison before they affect you.
"We probably can't inflict any damage on ourselves. We must find a floor that is not fatal enough, and then...suffer enough pain there. Although this is still my guess, we can manually remove this before that The causal line is connected.”
"How to answer?" Xin Mi asked.
"Floor 12724, please join me and work together to go to that floor."

On the tenth floor, everyone in Yan Meng's room felt a little uneasy. Zhou Shilan kept scrolling on her phone. Although she couldn't convey any information to the outside world, the signal here was still smooth, and she had no pressure to browse web pages and connect to those apps. Chen Hang was lying on the sofa, looking at the ceiling wondering what he was thinking, while Duan Ye was writing and drawing on it with a pen and a piece of paper he found in the room. He was probably the most relaxed person here.
"Wang Zhongnan!" Chen Hang suddenly straightened up and roared. The other two looked up at him.
"What's wrong?" Wang Zhongnan's voice came from the bathroom.
"Why did you go to the toilet for so long? Didn't Yan Meng die there before? You still dare to use it... That's enough."
"This is the only bathroom here...you can't let me stay in the room, right? It's too smelly." Wang Zhongnan was a little dissatisfied, "I thought something had happened and he shouted so loudly."
"Because I also need to use the bathroom!" Chen Hang turned over and sat up, "Have you finished using it?"
"OK OK……"
There was the sound of flushing water inside, and then the door opened and Wang Zhongnan walked out. Chen Hang glared at him and walked in.
There was still a burning smell in the bathroom. Chen Hang knew that this was Duan Ye's previous treatment method, and the bloody traces had been cleaned up at the same time. He sat down on the toilet with a guilty conscience, intending to make a quick decision.
Just then he saw the tiles on the wall, which were full of cracks.
Chen Hang cursed and wanted to get up. At this moment, he also saw bright white light coming from the cracks.
"Punch through."
"penetration."
"Confirm the floor and find the creature."
"Do you want to tear it up? Do you want to clear it?"
"grumble?"
The intuition developed over many years saved Chen Hang's life. He turned over and left the toilet. He didn't even have time to pull up his pants and rushed to the door: "Brother Duan, help!"
"What?" Duan Ye raised his head when he heard the voice, and Zhou Shilan and Wang Zhongnan immediately grabbed the things at hand.
At this moment, they heard the sound of gunshots. Chen Hang twisted the door handle and rushed out with a ferocious expression on his face. Behind him, rows of bullets streaked across, like death's reminder.
"What the hell?" Duan Ye raised his hand and threw the paper on which he had just written on it towards Chen Hang. Zhou Shilan saw a thin light curtain like the one that appeared on Zaoyuanzhuang Brother Yao before. The bullets hit it with a tinkling sound, and Chen Hang also let out a cry of pain - fortunately, this cry was more lively.
"Run! This place..."
Before he could finish speaking, there was a cry from behind him.
"Recognition error! Withdraw the order!"
"out on a limb!"
"Initial floor! Initial floor!"
"Kill yourself immediately!"
Amid a burst of noisy shouts, another round of gunfire rang out behind Chen Hang. He turned around in shock and found that only one fully armed and masked man was still standing, while the rest had shot each other to death. And this man also pulled out a sharp triangular pyramid from his waist and pointed it at his neck.
"At this point, D993 is completely destroyed."
Blood splattered out.
Duan Ye came over, held Chen Hang's collar to help him straighten his waist again, and patted his waistband to remind him to put on his pants, and then walked into the bathroom.
There were a total of six corpses here, all dressed in the same costume. Duan Ye squatted down and pulled off the mask of one of them. After looking at it, he found that he didn't recognize it, and started to pull off another one. It wasn't until the mask of the fourth corpse was torn off that it revealed the face of an acquaintance, Yan Zidan.
"Um?"
At this time, Zhou Shilan and Wang Zhongnan also entered the bathroom. Seeing Yan Zidan's face, they were shocked at the same time. Zhou Shilan even rushed over.
"Mr. Duan! Why would Dandan-"
"What's the rush? In a place like this, the most important thing to learn is not to rush when things happen." Duan Ye waved his hand, removed the masks from the two remaining corpses, and found another face of Deng Zhiyi.
"Isn't it me?" Chen Hang tied his pants and walked back, "Please check Yan Zidan's arms."
Duan Ye, who didn't care about gender at all, tore off the clothes on Yan Zidan's arms without any suspicion, but there were no wounds.
"No..." Zhou Shilan also breathed a sigh of relief - everyone had seen the piece of flesh and blood embedded in Yan Zidan's arm. It looked like a scar and was difficult to remove. At this time, it has become a very good proof of identity.
"The eyeballs are bloodshot, the reason is unknown. Why are they still wearing such strange bows..." Duan Ye was already turning over the corpse, "By the way, these guys have good weapons, you might as well arm yourselves."
