As a game, giving randomness to extend its game life is now a common method. "Distortion Point" itself has many types of monsters designed, and with the changes in different states, even the same plot level will have many different changes in play styles. If it were not related to reality, Lu Ning would be quite happy to go Just for fun.
But now she only has a headache. After comparison, the common characteristics of fire attribute enhancement have also been revealed, which is to strengthen the aura and corpse explosion. In a single state, only strengthening one's own strength is limited.
However, this is a game. If the evil spirits in reality are really the same as in the game, she will have a headache.
After exiting the live broadcast room, Lu Ning glanced at her phone again and found that someone had replied to her private message. It was the person who posted the question about the girl. Lu Ning made an appointment with her to meet later, closed the computer, said hello and went out.
In the school park, she met the girl who posted the post.
"Hello."
"Hello, is it true that you left me a message saying there is a way?" The girl was sitting on a chair in the park. When she saw Lu Ning greeting her, she stood up excitedly.
"Well, of course, the matter will not be solved at once. If it is not a heart disease but some external cause, we only need to solve the source. But if it is a heart disease, maybe it is not something we can solve."
"I don't think it's heart disease! We have a very good relationship. When my grandma passed away, she comforted me. If it was something like this, we wouldn't hide it from each other!" the girl said hurriedly, "And she was quite cool before. He looked happy, something good must have happened, but if he changed like this within a few days, something unexpected must have happened!"
"Then, please tell me more specifically. It's not very clear in the post." Lu Ning nodded, "The actions to be taken vary depending on the specific situation."
The girl's name is Lu Jingyi, a junior history student. The person mentioned in the post is her roommate Meng Xilin, who is also a classmate. The two of them have a good relationship and basically talk about everything.
Lu Jingyi noticed Meng Xilin's change on October 12, because the two had always sat together in class, but when she arrived in the classroom that morning, she could not find Meng Xilin from the front row to the back row. The same was true for the next two classes, Meng Xilin Did not go.
This is very abnormal, because Meng Xilin is a very serious student. Unless she is too sick to get out of bed, she never misses any class. In fact, she has never been late in the past three years. When Lu Jingyi asked Meng Xilin about it at night, she just said that she had something to do that day and had already asked for leave from the professor, without giving a detailed explanation.
Because of their good relationship, Lu Jingyi did not dare to ask further questions, but Meng Xilin also did not come to class in the following days, which made her feel very abnormal. But no matter how she asked, Meng Xilin was always vague, and then she went back to the dormitory almost exhausted and fell asleep, not giving Lu Jingyi any chance to ask questions.
"It shouldn't be just that, right? If something like this happens to your friend, I think you should take some action." Lu Ning said.
"Yes, I saw that it was useless to dissuade her directly, so I took a leave and followed her." Lu Jingyi nodded, "She didn't take a car, she walked there, and she was not in a good mental state, so I was not followed. Discover."
At that time, Lu Jingyi was following along. After leaving the school and walking about four or five streets, she saw Meng Xilin walking into a store with the sign of a study abroad service agency. She then wandered at the door and looked inside, but she didn't see anything. Meng Xilin should have gone upstairs along the stairs.
She pretended to be interested in this and went in to get some information. She went back to school and looked at it. It was all normal advertising. After that, she also went to squat there in advance at the time when Meng Xilin often came back. Sure enough, Meng Xilin came out of the study abroad store at that time.
"Does that mean she's been in the store all day?"
"It's weird, right? Putting aside what we're studying, we don't need to study abroad. Even if she does, there's no need for her to stay in that institution all day long, right?"
"Is this the end of your investigation?"
"There is no way to go further. I also asked the person at the counter if I was interested, and she said that the teacher would contact me or meet there. As for what is going on upstairs, I couldn't find out, and there was no normal channel. Go up." Lu Jingyi said with some annoyance.
"Okay, give me the address. I want to go and see for myself. Also, did Meng Xilin go to that institution today?"
"No, she stays in the dormitory to study on weekends, but she still doesn't want to talk. It's normal if she talks about other topics, but she stops talking when her whereabouts are mentioned."
"Well... Then I would like to meet your friend when I have the opportunity. Let's go to that store first to see the situation." Lu Ning said.
"good!"
The two people set off immediately. Lu Jingyi remembered the address very clearly. It was... really not easy to find here.
It’s not that it’s not out there, but it’s overwhelmed by all kinds of messy brands. It’s really difficult to notice the appearance of such a study abroad institution. This is an old rental building that seems to have been rented to many companies. Except for the first floor, there are all kinds of signs hanging on it. Although it seems that the second floor is also owned by this institution.
The interior was cleaner and tidier after entering. At this time, there were two students in the room consulting on matters related to studying abroad. There was only one person in charge of reception. The two of them exchanged greetings, and Lu Ning took a walk around the room.
Even if Requiem does not appear under normal circumstances, some traces can still be seen, not to mention that she can also use silence to disguise herself. The interior of this study abroad institution is indeed rather gloomy. If you work here for a long time and don't go out, your health will definitely be affected and gradually weaken.
But it’s impossible to live in a workplace forever and not go out, so people here don’t have actual physical problems. The girl who received him didn't have any deathly characteristics, she was just a normal person.
After the consultation, the two students took some information and left, and Lu Ning walked over.
"Welcome, how can I help you?"
Very professional greeting.
"I contacted a teacher online before and he told me to come to him on the second floor here." Lu Ning said with a smile, "So I wanted to ask if this is the place."
"Can I ask the teacher's name?" the receptionist asked after being stunned for a moment.
"The name on the Internet is Anny. Is there such a person here?"
The receptionist typed on the keyboard, then shook her head: "We don't have such a person here..."
"Oh, maybe I made a mistake. I'm sorry." Lu Ning smiled, "Sorry to bother you."
Then she backed out.
"How is it?" Lu Jingyi chased after him and asked.
"It went well. It has been confirmed that the upstairs is indeed part of here, and that the teachers are upstairs here. At least judging from the receptionist's reaction, that's what she knew."
"But there must be something wrong, right?"
"Yes, I will check this later. Can we go meet your roommate Meng Xilin now?" Lu Ning asked.
"no problem."
The two returned to campus, and Lu Jingyi took Lu Ning to her dormitory building and walked into her dormitory.
A girl is sitting in her seat, with a waterfall of black hair and a very stunning appearance. He just looked pale and looked a little distracted while holding a book.
"Xilin?" Lu Jingyi asked in a low voice. The girl turned her head and nodded to Lu Jingyi, then turned back to continue reading, staring at Lu Jingyi who appeared at the door.
This girl's condition was much worse. She was clearly unconscious and her aura of living person was already very weak. If it had been a few days later, she might really have become a corpse. But why exactly is this happening?
Lu Ning came closer, but Meng Xilin showed no reaction to her.
"Requiem", as the strongest accessory of the merchant in the scene of the dislocated Rubik's Cube, also has the function of immunity to mental attacks and purifying the user, but this function cannot be used on others. She could only use Requiem to spy on the changes in the death energy on Meng Xilin's body, and then try to touch it with her hands.
She herself is not afraid. The power of the weapon "Judgment Day" is hidden in her hand. Not to mention a trace of death, both humans and ghosts will avoid it.
As if fearing the "Judgment Day", the death energy in Meng Xilin's body began to fade away due to Lu Ning's contact, but she just hid elsewhere like hide and seek, without really leaving her body. This attempt finally had some effect, and Meng Xilin's eyes finally regained some clarity from their dullness.
Her eyes moved around the dormitory, then she raised her hand and grabbed Lu Ning's hand that was on her shoulder. She opened her lips slightly and said in a voice as thin as a gnat: "Go...seventy... Shiyang...save..."
She could only say these few words, and then she ran out of energy and her eyes became cloudy again.
"Hmm..." Lu Ning frowned, seventy? Ten Yang? Seventy Yang?
"Seventy Poplar Road is a road near the institution we went to before. The government renamed it after planting seventy poplar trees beside the road." Lu Jingyi said.
"Well, I'll go over and have a look soon." Lu Ning nodded.
"Is this enough? But...but what about Meng Xilin? The way she looks now..."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen in at least a day or two. I will act as soon as possible this weekend to resolve the matter."
After saying that, Lu Ning said goodbye to Lu Jingyi and went downstairs to the campus.
She felt a little strange, it was for Lu Jingyi. In that situation, the person Meng Xilin trusted most was Lu Jingyi, not herself, a stranger. When she regained consciousness, she even had time to look inside the room. Why was it her hand that she suddenly grabbed?
Is the sound small because I can't make a louder sound? Or is it because of other reasons?
Finally, Lu Jingyi's explanation was relatively quick, even too quick. Before Lu Ning even considered the possibilities, Lu Jingyi directly named a place. This place did exist. The question is... why did Meng Xilin say the name of a street instead of a more precise place name? , at least one building is locked, right?
Seventy and ten Yang should not be caused by the intermittent tone.
Poplar trees are also common trees nearby, and some are even planted in the campus. Lu Ning remembers that there are always poplar catkins flying around the school every spring. However, the main planting in the school is birch, and the number of poplar trees is relatively small.
With this thought in mind, she walked to a road where poplar trees were planted. There were several poplar trees on both sides of the road. Lu Ning counted them carefully and found exactly ten. She walked to the end of the road. There was a laboratory building for the chemistry department. She had never been inside.
seventy?
Lu Ning walked into the laboratory building. Meng Xilin was from the history department. Let's exclude the fact that she used some knowledge related to chemistry to give hints. This seventy should be a very intuitive expression. The house numbers in the chemistry laboratory building are relatively old-fashioned. They are not marked according to the current floor numbers, but the overall numbering method, starting from No. 1.
Then it depends on whether there are seventy rooms in this building.
Lu Ning patiently searched for it. Room No. 70 was on the fourth floor. It was a small office. There was no sign on the door whose office it belonged to. She silently noted the relative position of the room indoors and outdoors, and took a look. With no one around, "Requiem" is fully activated.
A strong sense of distortion is emanating from the inside of the room, and as long as you are more than two meters away from the door, that feeling will disappear instantly. No wonder Lu Ning couldn't find it after running around the school before. This kind of weird anomaly within a limited range is really difficult to detect.
But it was daytime, not a good time to go in.
Lu Ning turned around and left the laboratory building. Since this is the place Meng Xilin mentioned, then... Lu Ning was prepared to treat her as a smart enough person who could understand the situation at that time in such a short period of sobriety. She was not slow to respond to the situation.
But just when Lu Ning was about to leave, she felt a vague gaze on her.
Does anyone dare to stare at myself?
To be honest, Lu Ning already feels like she is retired now. She has even integrated well into daily life before, but this does not mean that some of the mentality developed in the distribution center has changed. Even relying on the set of equipment she brought back, she was able to do any "special thing" without leaving any trace.
Her current strength is overwhelming against any opponent currently appearing, but she would like to know who dares to obstruct her investigation.
Soon, night came. Lu Ning did not go to Building 70 first, but went to the study abroad institution first. She still had to eliminate a possible option first. She didn't think that the gaze spying on her came from Lu Jingyi, so who did it come from?
