Zhao Xihua's eyes were clear and he stared at her. Although he had no intention of retreating, he could not speak.
After a moment, Zhao Xihua's eyes turned to Xiao Ronghai.
"What are you pursuing? What has your spiritual essence turned into here?"
"...I don't know."
"You don't know yourself clearly enough." Zhao Xihua sighed, "Master Jie Sha, Buddhism talks about a fate, and the fate between us probably ends here. Now that you have understood the Silent Pagoda, Then imagine here that either the master's body and mind are clear and he returns to his material self, or he is like the man in the dream, who never wakes up from the dream, but is also bound to the world."
"You never fell asleep?"
"I've woken up, but...it's rare to be confused." Zhao Xihua smiled, "If the master comes back with insight, I will still leave your seat in the team."
After these words, a road with blooming lotus leaves spread out at the feet of Jie Sha.
"The road to Nirvana, master, please help yourself."
Quit killing and bow together: "Thank you, Miss Zhao Er."
After he left, Zhao Xihua looked into the distance slightly melancholy.
"Miss, what else are you worried about? The master of killing will not hurt anyone here."
"I'm not worried about my team, I just feel a little regretful. Xiao Ronghai, for you, it's time to make a decision now. You don't need to tell me. I will know when we see your spiritual essence. The decision was made.”

Some people are disgusted by what they see being revealed, while others are adapting well to it. After Lu Ning came down from upstairs, she found that the previous five riders were obviously more excited and agitated. Some strange organs began to grow on their bodies, but everyone seemed to be unaware and went out to ride their horses. Then he rode his horse in the direction of the Silent Pagoda.
After about half an hour, Mr. Zhou took Feng Yuanxi and Qu Langyue out of the room where they lived.
Several people had some blood stains on their bodies and looked very bad. Lu Ning had already realized that she was not affected by anything, but the researchers only made such a little noise, and they should be completely unable to stop the greed of these people, as well as the abnormal group of people who were not normal, at most. It just blocks out some ordinary people.
She had to go to the Silent Pagoda now to check out the situation.
Purple-red mist has appeared under the tower. It is not thick, but there is a thick mass of blood on the ground that cannot be broken, and mist is slowly sprayed out from some holes.
The three members of the Abnormal Group were walking heavily, half of them still holding the scalpel in their hands, and holding the serrated sword in their hands, looking around coldly. When Lu Ning arrived, what he saw was the abnormal group surrounded by some people. But the battle has not started, because just below the tower, if too much noise is made, the punishment of Silent Pagoda will still come as promised.
Most of the people here are no longer normal. Their bodies have undergone physiological alienation due to their previous distorted intelligence. This gives them stronger superpowers, but also makes them farther and farther away from humans.
The abnormal team had undoubtedly seen too many changes like this. After turning the half of the corpse into a cocoon with a scalpel, they gently placed it on the ground. The three people gave the surrounding people a bloody look, and then walked in In the gaping mouth of sharp teeth at the bottom of the tower.
Lu Ning slowly pulled out the white dew as frost, and the cold air surged, which also attracted the attention of people present.
Not daring to make a sound was really good for Lu Ning. The power of ice did not need to make any sound, and these people must make a choice to advance or retreat under the cold.
Soon, several people rushed out of the fog and jumped into the sharp teeth under the tower. However, there were others who tried to attack Lu Ning with super powers, but after the two fires passed by, fires ignited on the two people.
After another dozen people rushed into the tower, the rest began to cautiously start to retreat. Lu Ning took another step forward, and was about to increase the threat when she saw another person coming from the opposite direction of the tower.
A heroic woman carrying an octagonal disk behind her back.
She glanced at Lu Ning, reached out and pinched the corner of the octagonal plate, and pulled out a sharp sword from the octagonal plate. Her eyes were not looking at Lu Ning, but at the monsters around her who had not had time to retreat.
Lu Ning did not move forward. The woman's body was clean, with almost no flesh and blood growth. She could still maintain a human appearance here. Either her mind was strong enough, or she was... a tourist.
Nowadays, most tourists meet with this kind of cautious attitude. Lu Ning doesn't know whether the other party is a friend or an enemy. The other party obviously had the same intention. After drawing out his sword, he did not come towards Lu Ning, but approached the bottom of the tower and stood at the door with an unclear attitude.
At this moment, some screams suddenly came from behind, and there was a concussive sound like a large machine shaking the ground. This sound undoubtedly exceeded the judgment of the Silent Pagoda, so it soon fell silent, and only the huge mechanical vibration was still rumbling.
It’s those people who left just now! When Lu Ning turned around, she saw a huge robot rushing towards the tower between the low houses. Although the Silent Pagoda was relatively punished for the noise it made, even though there were several dents exploded on the body made of metal, it was completely unstoppable.
The steel giant didn't stop until it reached the tower. Immediately, a soft light penetrated the fog, and Meng Juan and Tang Ling led those who followed to the side of the steel giant.
"Everyone, you don't have to stick to the restrictions set by this tower, right? It can't do anything to us, because we are of the same level." Meng Juan chuckled, "Don't you notice? This world can have a negative impact on us. There are very few obstacles. This is not because we are the chosen ones, but... we are the destiny of this world."
"You don't need to tell us this." Yu Sheng said, "Why are you here?"
"Of course, it's to meet the compatriots who will appear here." Meng Juan laughed, "In other words, I came here specifically for the next stage of advancement."
"Amitabha."
With the sound of the Buddha's name, a monk appeared on the road outside the mist. Lu Ning noticed that there was some excitement on Tang Ling's face when he saw the monk, but Meng Juan didn't express anything.
"Dear donors, the old monk is here to disturb you." After Jie Sha approached, he bowed slightly to everyone, "This pagoda was originally a statue of a monk. I have no choice but to practice meditation, but I can't break this trace of my mind. I will add to you. Trouble."
"You mean, this tower is yours..." Yu Sheng's eyes narrowed.
"Everyone's heart should be collected by each other. The poor monk should also take some responsibility for the chaos during this period, and it can also serve as a reference for everyone in the future."
After quitting talking, he walked towards the door at a leisurely pace. Yu Sheng stood there without stopping him and allowed the monk to enter this spiritual tower of his own.
"Brother Meng!" Tang Ling whispered, looking anxious, "Why don't you ignore the master of quitting killing? We are not..."
"Tang Ling, you don't know him very well." Meng Juan interrupted Tang Ling.
"yes."
"We have always respected the choice of our partners. Since there is no intention to recognize each other, it is his decision, and we only need to support him from behind. The atmosphere in our group is harmonious because of this. "Meng Juan rarely straightened his expression.
Tang Ling nodded slowly, and then glanced at the big robot thoughtfully.
Everyone didn't wait long outside when a bright light burst out from the top of the tower. At first, everyone thought it was quitting killing something, but the next second, blue raindrops fell from the light.
"No!" Tang Ling raised his hand and rolled up a curtain wall of flesh and blood to block the raindrops. Yu Sheng took a step back and hid under the tower. As for Lu Ning, she opened a thunder net with her fingers.
A place away from everyone. The blue raindrops fell to the ground and soon began to twist and grow, turning into a strange creature the size of a mouse with only four limbs. At this moment, there was an earth-shattering explosion at the top of the tower. As the hedgehog-shaped crystal fragments exploded from the top of the tower, some synaptic structures like nerves were thrown out from the exploded place, and these synapses appeared. , is a huge brain that replaced the existence of the tower.
It was not what Lu Ning knew the brain of any creature should look like. A large number of wrinkles were formed on the surface, squeezed, and occasionally broken, squeezing out some pus and blood. The brain is constantly expanding, and new brain tissue is constantly growing out of it.
Lu Ning suddenly felt a sense of abnormality. It seemed that as the tower changed, the world also mutated. An unpleasant feeling enveloped her heart, and several other tourists apparently had the same feeling. .
【Stage 4·Intertwined Bones
4-1 Destroy an organization of obscurants with more than thirty people.
4-2 Survive for more than three hours on the Day of Bright Abyss.
4-3 peels itself off the stage. 】
The small blue creature crawled onto Lu Ning's feet, and she suddenly felt that there was a piece of knowledge in her mind that did not belong to her - it was some fragmentary knowledge about genes, life, etc., without head or tail. , but she felt that she was extremely proficient in this part of knowledge.
With a sweep of sword light, Lu Ning swept the monster to the ground, and that piece of knowledge disappeared from his mind. Cold sweat began to appear on her head, and she looked up at the tower. The peeling off of the outer skin has become more intense, and the expanded brain inside is gradually replacing the main body of the tower. The clouds gathered above again, and the flash at the top of the tower turned into a celestial phenomenon like an aurora.
In the center of the collapsed tower, a very subtle light was shining.
Lu Ning soon discovered that those little monsters were unkillable. They were the embodiment of some knowledge. She did not have the power to eliminate a piece of knowledge from the world. As the number of monsters increased, Lu Ning had to retreat and left the circle below the tower.
Before leaving, she saw that Meng Juan and his party and Yu Sheng had not left.
Those blue creatures scattered faster than Lu Ning. When Lu Ning returned to the town, she had already seen some people being stuck by several creatures. After these little creatures have been in contact with humans for a long time, they begin to slowly merge with humans. With a weird scream, the heads of those humans begin to expand and become as transparent as bubbles, and the bones and flesh inside All the other tissues were dissolved, leaving only a brain. When the head expands to the limit, six gray mouthparts about one meter long will protrude from the head. At the same time, the skin on their bodies will turn gray and black and shrink, like the cerebral cortex.
The entire change process takes no more than ten seconds.
When Lu Ning was avoiding these people, she suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves. When she turned her head, she saw the five riders galloping towards her. There were also one or two blue creatures on their bodies. But the rider is picking the creature off with his weapon. It's a pity that the five horses have obviously begun to show signs of alienation. It is estimated that it will not be long before they completely transform into monsters.
The leading rider saw Lu Ning in front and paused slightly, but a rider on the flank had already pulled out a pistol from his waist.
boom! boom! boom!
Three gunshots were fired, and the fiery flames first knocked the gun out of his hand, the second shot hit the horse's head, and the third shot bloomed in the rider's chest, knocking him off the horse.
From the house on the other side, Ye Yunmei swung the gun with one hand and pulled the eaves with the other hand to swing down easily. Mr. Zhou and a group of other people rushed out of the alleyway with weapons in hand, and everyone stared at the remaining riders. .
"Lu Ning, long time no see." Mr. Zhou's greeting was still cold.
"Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect to meet again here."
While the two of them were saying a word, the dismounted rider got up from the ground. He stroked his chest. A circle of water-like lines spread from his chest, and new skin began to replace the scorched flesh.
Feng Yuanxi also walked out of Mr. Zhou at this time.
"Master, I didn't expect to see you here again. Didn't you feel satisfied with the incident at the Red Plum Pavilion?"
The leading rider laughed.
"Manager Feng, it's true that I haven't seen you for many days, but I don't know how you recognized me? I know your abilities very well, and I will never make any mistakes in disguising myself. Even the horses have been made accordingly. Disguise processing.”
"It's just because we no longer regard you as our leader." Qu Langyue pointed his gun at the former master's head, "Jiang Ai and Mr. Wei were loyal to you, but they still ended up like that. And you were able to survive the entire process We were indifferent and had no intention of contacting us again afterwards.”
"Lang Yue, I have set you free, do you still want to be a servant?" "Master" smiled, "I see, it was you who did it, right?"
"I copied your personal belongings and recognized your identity. Your way of wording is too familiar to us, but we just don't dare to recognize it. In this doomsday, you will not completely abandon the past and Live."
Lu Ning glanced sideways at the "master" and chuckled: "Michael?"
"Lu Ning, I remember our relationship was pretty good?" The man who was once Michael gently stroked his chin, "Don't you want to know what the purpose of the dance at the Hongmei Pavilion is?"
