Lu Ning originally thought that Tang Ling would never contact her again, but she didn't expect that Tang Ling would call her so quickly.
At noon, the two met in a private room of a small restaurant outside the school. Tang Ling still looked arrogant, and Tong Yang beside him looked a little cautious, but he was still in good spirits, which meant that Tang Ling treated him well.
"That's strange. I thought based on the previous situation, even if you wanted to contact me, it would be several weeks later." Lu Ning was not polite after entering the door.
"I don't like you, but I don't have the time to be angry with you. I found something that I can't solve alone. At least we are temporary partners."
"Then you moved very quickly. I just came back and I still haven't figured out what happened here."
"I'm not as impatient as you. I've lived here for so long, and I can't even investigate this little thing." Tang Ling raised the corner of his mouth, "Let's just avoid the mutual ambiguity, otherwise I can't help but fight with you. .Do you want the information? It’s a big deal.”
"Tell me, I want to know what happened here."
"It's not this place, it's a bit bigger." Tang Ling smiled, a very sinister smile, "These people are planning to carve a character into this land and turn about half of the country into a distortion. Point, tell me...is this a big enough matter?"
"...The ambition is not small, but do they have the ability?"
"The cultists are a bunch of lunatics, and the leader of the lunatic is quite capable. The person operating in this city is nicknamed Zhiyuren, and his real name is Zheng Jiao'e. I also have a photo of her from about three years ago here, I guess. There's not much change. Just killing her won't solve the problem. All the links she arranged have already started to chain together. You can continue even if she dies. What you need to do is destroy a few of the most critical points. , that is... a living sacrifice."
"Oh? So when and where are these points?"
Tang Ling's smile became even more evil at this time: "You have to check this kind of thing yourself. I can't just run an errand and finish everything after I've done it, right? It's Level 4. You should be a tourist." What you are doing, I can help you find out this information, I am already generous and willing to help you."
"If you don't speak so unpleasantly, I can still think it's true. Where are you going?" Lu Ning moved the photo on the table.
"Huh? Haha, of course, go to the city where the other guy is and kill them. You still have about... a week. If it is not solved within a week, even if we succeed in destroying it over there, you are here The city must also enlighten the distortion." Tang Ling stood up, "If you don't want these beautiful memories to disappear, then hurry up and move, haha."
"you……"
"I've given you so much information. You can pay for today's meal. You've made a lot of money from this sum. Goodbye." Tang Ling casually raised his hand and walked out of the private room door. Lu Ning's mouth twitched. She also saw that Tang Ling was walking in a hurry, and was definitely not as relaxed as he said. He probably gave her part of the work because of his own investigation and found that he was too busy.
But...her ability to investigate is so fast? Is it really that fast? Why can't I just follow the same line for a long time and still not know why?
Lu Ning frowned and glanced at the photo. Sure enough, it was that woman - Zheng Jiao'e. She also remembered this person.
"Tang Ling didn't mention the new mission at all. Are you not willing to communicate with me at all? Or does she already have a clue?" Lu Ning muttered and went out to ask about the price. Tang Ling actually ordered one. It was quite childish for the whole table to vent their anger in this way.
She took her things and returned to school. Let's put Tang Ling's matter aside for now. She was right. If the distortion happened in this city, then she would really have to deal with it.
Ying Caiyi was the only one in the dormitory today. She had no classes in the afternoon and was already lying on the bed ready to take a nap. When she saw Lu Ning coming back, she turned over and asked, "What did you do out today?"
"Get some things." Lu Ning threw the few things Tang Ling gave her on the table, turned around and glanced, "Where's Li Xian? Why did she go to class today?"
"The class at 1:30 in the afternoon is almost the end of the semester. The professor may come for a roll call. Doesn't she have to go? That means we don't have... huh?" Ying Caiyi suddenly got up and said, "Lu Ning, what are you doing here? What is it? A photo?"
"Your eyes are quite sharp."
Ying Caiyi took a deep breath, and then said: "Lu Ning, I won't ask further about what you told us yesterday, because I know it's not my place to ask. But I have to remind you, act within your ability. , you may not be the only one with superpowers in the world."
"Of course I know this, but thank you." Lu Ning laughed.
"By the way, there is a courier from you downstairs. Don't forget to get it." After Ying Caiyi said that, she lay down again and went to sleep.
express delivery? Lu Ning didn't remember what she had purchased online, and it had only been a day. Even if Mao Yizheng had made any progress, he would not have sent a courier to notify her. She walked downstairs with some confusion and said to the dormitory aunt. After making a sound, I got my share of the express delivery.
The package was not big, just the size of a mobile phone box. After Lu Ning got it back to the dormitory, he opened the package. There was even another layer inside, which was wrapped tightly. Only at the end did a gilded envelope be taken out.
Lu Ning frowned and glanced at the sender's address and name on the parcel.
The address is an office in an office building, probably rented, and the name is Qu Langyue, a name I have never heard of. My address was written very accurately.
The envelope itself only had the words "Lu Ning Jingqi" written on the front. To be honest, every time you receive such an inexplicable letter, it is probably not a good thing. After Lu Ning was on guard, she gently opened the opening of the envelope with her fingertips and pulled out a stack of paper from inside.
A letter, a form, a palm-sized booklet, and a gold-patterned card, this is what's inside.
She first unfolded the form, which was something similar to an information table. Lu Ning glanced at it and her eyes stopped on one of the lines. What this line requires is a brief description of abilities.
"It's really rude..."
Lu Ning sneered and opened the letter.
This was an invitation letter, with only Lu Ning's name written on it, but not the name of the inviter like the package.
The words were quite polite, but Lu Ning's expression became more solemn as she looked back.
[Enter to worship Miss Lu Ning,
At the end of the first year of life, in the cold winter months, there is a mood of elegance, and I want to invite the world's capable people to gather together, either to meet friends, or to share their experiences and experiences, which is a beautiful thing. I have prepared a little wine today, and I am sending this letter to invite you to come and have a good time in our hotel. If you are interested, you can fill out the form and go to Jinpingshan Hongmei Pavilion with this letter. When snow falls on December 31st, people would like to see red plum blossoms falling under the snow. The grand scene invites me, but I hope you won’t refuse.
For this gathering, no officials or officials were invited, only strangers from the countryside were invited. Although you are on good terms with your friends, it is not easy for you to come together. However, I believe that with my wisdom, I will not miss such a great opportunity.
As a token of sincerity, I enclose a gift with this letter. The person you are looking for can be traced in the old area in the south of the city at two o'clock on Saturday.
Remember, if you intend to attend the banquet, you must bring this envelope and all items contained as verification.
Looking forward to good news. 】
Has she ever received such a naughty letter? Of course, divination in this world may not follow the rules of other worlds, and there may be people who can really predict it accurately. However, Lu Ning noticed the three words "Red Plum Pavilion", and there was a vague association in her heart.
Red Snow Ball, although she hasn't officially started searching yet, she has already taken this word to heart. Maybe this is not a matter to be actively investigated, but the distribution center will allow itself to receive an invitation to the Red Snow Ball? Judging from the task, this is similar to a survival mission; judging from the content of the letter, this invitation invites people with super powers, and it is for this purpose that the distribution center equips everyone with super powers before entering. That's right.
Then it seemed that I had to go. On December 31st, I can still adjust myself during this holiday. Maybe I can take this opportunity to figure out what the so-called second stage means.
Of course, the first thing to deal with before that is the distortion point incident. Tang Ling not only left a photo, but also told Lu Ning the location of the previous life sacrifice in the city, but he didn't mention a word about the mystery. Lu Ning looked at it and became more and more unconvinced that this was a clue that Tang Ling had found on her own. This kind of thing was a police secret no matter what. She might have sneaked into a police station or something to steal the information, but she just pretended not to know. That's it.
Zheng Jiao'e is undoubtedly a difficult person. It was probably an accident that I met her before. Maybe she was going to design the location of the distortion point that day. However, she really couldn't see the relationship with the distortion point, so she started from Lu Ning slipped away in front of him.
Will it be resolved within a week? It would be a bit difficult to solve without specific clues.
On Thursday, the head teacher informed Lu Ning that everyone in this dormitory should go to the small activity room in the dormitory building. Lu Ning and Ying Caiyi grabbed Li Xian from the bed and went over together.
After entering the activity room, the three of them were stunned. The same Meng Bin and two policemen were sitting there before, but their expressions were serious.
"Sit down." The head teacher looked at the three people with a smile, "It's not a big deal this time. I'm just asking the three of you here. Don't worry, the police are here to understand some situations."
"Yes...what happened to Sister Lu?" Ying Caiyi asked hurriedly.
Meng Bin pressed down gently with his palm: "Three students, don't worry, sit down first. It does have something to do with Lu Chunxiao, but it also has something to do with you. Ah, please don't be nervous, you see the class teacher is here too , it’s probably a little easier than last time.”
"Ah? And last time?" Li Xian was surprised.
"Sit down." Lu Ning pressed their shoulders and took the lead in finding a place to sit.
Meng Bin waited for the three of them to sit down, and then said: "This visit is indeed about Lu Chunxiao. In fact, we obtained her communication method and re-arranged contact methods for her. Currently, we can only contact her Her parents. But I saw that you called her many times before and seemed to care about her, so we asked Lu Chunxiao."
"As expected, it was you who took Sister Lu away!" Li Xian smiled immediately, "Is she okay?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu has always been under our protection. He is just a little worried about the outside world. Due to confidentiality regulations, we cannot tell you the specific situation in detail. Please understand."
"We know! Then, it would be nice to know that Sister Lu is safe. If you have anything to ask, just ask." Li Xian said cheerfully.
"Okay, then I'll tell you the truth. I believe you all know the relationship between Lu Chunxiao and Chu Wei?"
"There is no secret about this kind of thing in our dormitory." Li Xian replied.
"Well, Chu Wei is actually our reserve talent." Meng Bin said.
"We already knew this..." Li Xian suddenly stopped talking at this point, then looked at Lu Ning and the two, "Say?"
"It's nothing. To put it bluntly, we know Sister Lu better than you do, Officer Meng. She won't simply agree to leave if there is nothing special. Chu Wei is also her only connection with you. This inference is not difficult to make. . But Officer Meng, I want to ask, what happened to Chu Wei? Did the sudden bleeding from his seven orifices during training involve an extremely dangerous situation? "
"...Not bad. Have the three of you encountered anything strange recently?" Meng Bin said.
"What's weird? No." Ying Caiyi reached out and pinched Li Xian, and said, "Do you mean that this danger may also affect us?"
"Chu Wei gave Lu Chunxiao an important thing before, but he didn't explain it to her, so Lu Chunxiao probably just regarded it as a gift from her boyfriend. He left in a hurry last time, so he didn't take it with him. He has always been under our protection, so Student Lu didn’t discover this in time, and he accidentally asked about it when we asked him this time.”
Something important? Chu Wei should not be such a careless person. Lu Ning turned around and thought about it and understood. It was probably Chu Wei who gave Lu Chunxiao something like an amulet, but with her in this dormitory, there was no need for it. What purpose do those ordinary amulets serve.
"Then shall we help you find it? Where did Sister Lu put it?" Ying Caiyi asked.
"She doesn't remember much, so can you ask Officer Ji to help us look for it? It can be faster." Meng Bin gestured, and a female police officer behind him stood up and saluted the three of them. present.
"Okay, we don't know what we're looking for either."
Ji Changting smiled slightly: "According to what classmate Lu said, it should be a bracelet. This kind of thing is easier to find."
Bracelet? Lu Ning thought for a while, but she had no impression. If it doesn't leave an impression on you, it's not earth-shattering.
The three people took Ji Changting back to the dormitory and pointed out Lu Chunxiao's table. At this time, Lu Ning saw Ji Changting's hand pinching secretly.
