Chen Hang was given up - the sins in the Red Prison, coupled with his own inner sway, led to such a result. Zhou Shilan did not insist on going back, she just followed Duan Ye silently, her state was very similar to Qian Yipeng who had just lost her parents.
After going through the process of making human clones for her and Duan Ye, everyone was finally ready to leave the Red Prison. Lu Ning used a command issuer to issue assembly orders to the clones wandering throughout the Red Prison.
"But how can we go to a lower floor? It's basically inaccessible from the stairs, and we don't know what the symbol for the elevator should be. So far, we haven't seen anyone successfully go down to the existing floor. ?" Yan Zidan asked the question.
"some."
Lu Ning led everyone back to the tenth floor.
"Who? Those residents on the ninth floor we met before? But they were able to get there because they were on the ninth floor, right? Just like us..."
"It's not them." Lu Ning opened the door of 1003 and walked to the bathroom, "It's these clones."
"Ha, it's really unpleasant to see your own face dead here..." Deng Zhiyi glanced at the body of his clone inside.
"According to what you said before, these people broke the wall and rushed in suddenly, right? Six people are not enough for a ten-man team, and when we made the clones, we also used them as a ten-man team. They have already gone through it. Fight." Lu Ning walked to the hole in the wall and looked inside.
It was pitch black and nothing could be seen. It's just that the tenth floor is also a floor that originally existed. It should be a floor that cannot be reached by stairs under normal circumstances. This team must have discovered something, and they were in danger and escaped here urgently.
She took off a bow on the ground, turned it around, pulled out a chip from it, then took out a bow she had obtained earlier from her backpack and put it on, pulled out a cord like an earphone and put it into her ear.
This bow is a comprehensive communicator equipped by the team. It also contains a certain black box function, from which it can be learned what happened before death.
They were executing the same orders, attacking the monsters they encountered on each floor, and collecting floor information. This information was probably transmitted to and stored somewhere in the previous floors. What brought them here was the 0th floor, which they reached by randomly pressing the elevator.
According to the report, the general structure of the 0th floor is a huge temple complex, with a star emitting red light on the central altar. After using different photography methods to identify it, it can be seen that the light emitted from the surface of the star is ordinary electromagnetic waves, but the attached flame is a fluid with colloidal properties. Under this layer of fluid, there are pipelines made of rubber, metal, horn, and other materials that are intertwined to form a huge sphere. These pipelines have the function of blocking external detection, and the current methods cannot detect the core deeper.
There is nothing in the surrounding temple complex, not even the gods worshiped, only the empty shells of the buildings. However, there are murals, reliefs and other decorations in some temples. The content of these decorations is generally like the scenes of ancient humans offering animal sacrifices to the gods, which is relatively simple. Among them, there are three pictures showing stars on the altar, with the same content. They all have black lines extending from the stars, connecting them to the person offering sacrifices.
The team had a mission to explore, so they immediately held a worship ceremony to the star based on the painting above, but they simply did not offer any sacrifices. After the simulated worship was completed, several pipes of different materials were immediately stretched out from the star. The speed was very fast. The eight people escaped in time, but the two of them were hit by the pipes and their bodies quickly shriveled up. The eight people who had completed their first evasion avoided the next attack while checking the surrounding temples to see how they were different from before. The conclusion was that a passage was opened in the place where the three astral sacrifices were depicted. Due to the urgency of the pursuit, there was no time to check carefully, so the team randomly selected a passage to enter. During this period, two people died covering the incident.
In the passage, the sense of direction is thin and cannot be illuminated beyond two meters, but there are no monsters. After traveling for about a kilometer, a question arose. At this moment, a special light appeared, opening a gap.
After that, Chen Hang encountered this team breaking through the wall here.
After hearing what Lu Ning said, everyone was a little shocked.
"So these people just came here by wandering?" Duan Ye raised his eyebrows, "Which passage can lead to this level?"
"There's probably more than this floor. It's just a coincidence. We don't know what's going on on the zero floor, but we have an entrance here." Lu Ning took out his flashlight and looked inside. Sure enough, there was light just two meters away. Can't get through it.
"Ha...you mean we want to go from here?" Deng Zhiyi knocked on the wall, "But we haven't figured out how to use this passage yet, have we?"
"We still have a lot to explore. After all, isn't that the reason for making so many clones?" Lu Ning shrugged, "Besides, I am not interested in investigating all the mysteries of the Red Prison. We just need to find out." Just follow the path, and just trial and error is enough.”
"Why did they shoot themselves?" Xin Mi asked.
"Well... in the order, we must try to commit suicide when we encounter a real floor. I think it is probably to leave a reminder for ourselves. These teams are completely obedient to the order. Of course, what we have to do next is to put this The problem of the passage must be fully explored, and we must also try to avoid the star - at least we need to do this." Lu Ning walked out of the bathroom, "I will issue the next order and find out the passage and the space between each floor as soon as possible. contact."
A group of soldiers who were completely desperate and obeyed orders was indeed very useful. After Lu Ning modified the order, although they could not go directly to the tenth floor, they all started to try to get to the 0th floor. If that star had any consciousness, it would probably be annoyed to death. In short, after the team already knew the process and advanced at a high speed, they soon began to open up various floors in the passage - although it was not a serious exit.
At the same time, intense firefights also ensued. Just like the red bead monster on the ninth floor, there were monsters on each floor that were not at the same level as the ones above. The effects of guns and blades were minimal, but Lu Ning also She didn't care about this, she just started to collect the danger level of the floor through battle damage.
But in the end, no one found the first floor.
All floors starting from the second floor have been explored, and countless team members have died, but no one has been able to enter the first floor.
"I'm afraid... we need ourselves." Long Tiangang said in a deep voice.
The clone was born from the Red Prison, so it is not qualified to leave the Red Prison. Only the original body can leave. This inference is very consistent with the current situation.
"It's really exciting." Duan Ye smiled, "But we don't have the right path. What if we are eaten by that star?"
"We have to leave." Lu Ning didn't even look at him. "This is the closest possibility. We have to try it."
"No objection." Xin Mi said.
Lu Ning has many sets of symbol combinations on the 0th floor, so there is no problem in going down through the elevator. And this time, as if it foreshadowed something, the elevator became very normal, just like when they arrived on the ninth floor.
As the elevator door slowly opened, some dazzling light came in. The red star above the central altar is as strange and inexplicable as described. The corpses that should have been around are now gone, as if someone has cleaned them up. Everyone walked out and saw the surrounding temple complex - at least it was much brighter here.
Before performing the worship, the star will not react. Some teams tried to attack the star directly, but no weapons could penetrate the surface fluid shell, so this plan had to be abandoned.
Lu Ning raised her hand, and Bai Huan was making up and down in a strange rhythm. This was the first time such a reaction happened. She calmed down, not paying attention to the red light, and took everyone to see the three places in the temple where astral sacrificial rituals were held.
The process is very simple, worship - kneel down - worship - cover your eyes with your hands - pray. The fourth step is to cover the eyes with hands, whether it is completely blindfolding or peeking, I have tried it before, and it has no impact on the ritual process.
As for the distance, it can be done anywhere where the stars can be seen. This is also the reason why so many teams successfully escaped later. They just need to perform the ritual outside the temple where they want to go, then turn around and run.
"It's really miserable. After sleeping here for a long time, I was suddenly disturbed by a group of completely insincere people." Duan Ye looked at the star and said with a slight sarcasm, "But no one cares about it in Hades."
"You know again?" Lu Ning said.
"Hear it, hear it. What, you want to know?"
This guy's old habit has happened again, but Lu Ning is too lazy to ask what this mysterious guy knows. She considered the fastest route, and then everyone stood in separate positions, looked at the stars, and began to worship according to the process.
Whether this is a forgotten god, or if there are any secrets about the underworld, these are not issues that Lu Ning and others care about. What everyone wants most now is to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
After covering their eyes, everyone prayed silently.
"Aha!"
Duan Ye suddenly shouted, and at the same time, everyone turned around and rushed towards the temple. There was a whistling sound in the air, and sharp objects rushed towards him. Lu Ning saw the afterimages of several pipelines. They were about the thickness of a wrist, and the materials were indeed different. However, there seemed to be no automatic tracking function. Among the crowd, The instant escape reaction resulted in no hits.
While Lu Ning was running across a pipeline, she waved her hand, and a cold light flashed. The blade of the fate's serrated blade quickly cut off a pipeline, and another symbol lit up.
"There is a passage!" Zhou Shilan at the front shouted.
"Jump down! Stop talking nonsense!" Deng Zhiyi was very fast. Under the ritual painting, a dark entrance had appeared, but he didn't know the depth just by looking at it. Before Zhou Shilan had time to hesitate, Deng Zhiyi jumped down with her arms around her waist.
The people behind had no hesitation. Anyway, they had tried more thrilling things, they just jumped.
Lu Ning was the second to last one. When she jumped down, she vaguely heard Duan Ye say something behind her.
"...It's time to show the majesty of these ancient stones to the blasphemers..."
She only heard this little bit.
It was covered in darkness, but surprisingly, it did not jump down about two meters and touch the ground like those previous exploration teams, but continued to fall.
Lu Ning was not surprised but happy. Only by being different could she find a way to leave. However, at this moment, she suddenly felt a crisis, and there was a scream in the darkness. Who seemed to be injured? But even the sound was blurred by the darkness, and it was impossible to tell who it was.
My shoulder hurt slightly.
She touched it casually, and sure enough, blood flowed out, but the amount of bleeding was not large. But this is just the beginning, and what comes next starts to flood into the mind and is reflected in the spirit is the most unbearable.
Death - began to appear in my mind.
It's not that Lu Ning has no memory of death, even more than once. After her initial near-death fear, she immediately understood her current situation. Leaving the Red Prison is indeed not that easy. At least those of you who take shortcuts still have to pay a certain price, which is to experience all the hundreds of thousands of deaths. In comparison, the physical pain is This is the shallowest part of the Red Prison.
The pain of flesh and blood is the easiest thing to surrender to, but it is also the cheapest. Lu Ning looked at the wounds that began to increase on her body and laughed. To her, this was just a helpless counterattack after becoming angry out of embarrassment.
How long has it been since the fall? Anyway, pain is numb when it exceeds a certain limit. Lu Ning knew that she must look miserable on the outside, but in fact there was no fatal injury - after all, the prison of Hades could not prevent the living people from leaving.
A ray of light suddenly appeared in his eyes. It was the light of a street lamp. Lu Ning found herself falling on a bench. Her whole body ached, but there was no doubt that she had left that hell... The six tall buildings were still standing. They just escaped.
"Ah... you're pretty fast."
She heard footsteps, then her forehead felt cold, and her whole body suddenly felt relaxed. She quickly got up from the bench and saw Duan Ye.
"you……"
"Do you know something? Oops..." Duan Ye still had a cynical smile on his face. Lu Ning lowered her head and looked at her body. There were no wounds.
"Hallucination?"
"Of course not. Do you think getting out of the Red Prison is just an illusion test? The injuries are real, but you will recover if you endure it... After all, that place requires repeated suffering. How can you not recover?"
"Where are the others? Why are you okay?"
"I just saw you... Oh, the little girl named Yan is here too." Duan Ye pointed to the path next to him. Yan Zidan was running over.
"Li Wenyue, are you okay?"
"I am OK, you?"
"I... don't know what happened. I opened my eyes and was outside, but the stuffed bear turned into pieces." Yan Zidan said.
"I'm so lucky, I don't even have to endure the pain." Duan Ye said with a smile.
"Stop talking so much, it's important to find everyone quickly." Lu Ning stood up, but was stopped by Duan Ye.
"From now on, you all have to be more careful." He raised his hand and threw some sparks into the sky. For a moment, in the sky under the dark night, a red shell under the spherical cover vaguely flashed.
