At ten o'clock sharp, the reception was held as scheduled. Lu Ning was already sitting in a relatively back corner, where she could basically have a panoramic view of the entire venue. The people sitting next to her were basically not reporters, but people similar to her. A few seats away, Qin Ya was watching the reception with interest, arms folded.
The reception was going on steadily, with people on the stage speaking and reporters below asking questions. Everything was going on as planned. Lu Ning, however, remained tense. She picked up her mobile phone - this action was not so conspicuous at the press conference. Many people held up their cameras and mobile phones to take pictures of the specially invited celebrities on the stage, especially the three directors. .
At eleven o'clock, a thin figure appeared on the screen of Lu Ning's mobile phone, like a ghost, which did not exist on the stage of reality, but was so eye-catching on the screen.
Extradite people.
Lu Ning didn't expect that he would appear here. A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: Could it be that some people have joined forces with the extraditer?
No, that's not the case. According to the current information, extraditers always seem to hang around people with high inspirational talents, and there is no doubt that the current venue has gathered the most artistically talented people in the entire film and television base.
This is an introduction...but for those in the know, only an introduction is needed!
In an instant, Lu Ning felt that her ears fell into silence. It was not the kind of dead silence released by "Mo". She could still hear her breathing and heartbeat, and could also hear the sound of people's clothes being rubbed around her, but it was the loudness of these sounds. It made her feel that the surroundings were very quiet now.
The space was slowly dissolving, but Lu Ning felt that some kind of potential was being liberated in her body. This feeling was very familiar, and it was the state where the mantra was liberating the constraints.
Some people around her were also dissolving with the space, but some people's figures were still clear, including Tan Ya, Ke Daolin, Mei Yu. Almost all the people Lu Ning was familiar with remained clear. Then, next to her ears, Suddenly there was a scream like a sharp blade cutting through the air.
The world is cut apart.
Lu Ning immediately pulled out a frost-condensed sword from his hand, and the sound of rapid footsteps could already be heard in his ears. The people around her had disappeared, and now she could see no one, but she could hear voices, very clear voices in the dead silence.
Ding!
The colleagues who had parried the ice sword shattered into pieces, then turned into ice spikes in the air and rushed towards the direction of the attack. After a scream, a man with tattered clothes and bruises all over his body appeared. He only held a rotten wooden stick in his hand, and his whole body was already covered with ice spikes.
The road on the ground is made of cement but covered with moss. The surrounding houses are modern buildings but have been soaked with moisture. The windows are broken. There are black blood stains on the walls and ground that look like being scratched by fingernails. There are no bones but there are large radial blood spots. on the ground--
"freeze."
Black and red blood clots condensed into ice exploded from the man's body, and even his head was squeezed into an irregular shape. Lu Ning made an ice sword again and ran quickly along the street in the direction that was not blocked.
She soon heard voices, yelling and complaining.
"What's going on? Which bastard suddenly started the ritual..."
"Shit! Help me! Don't be stunned!"
"There is actually someone who can get there faster than us?"
This area is very large, like a city-sized harbor, similar to the ruined city when I saw Wu Que before. But that city has turned into a forest, and no plants except moss grow in this city.
Those who shouted were not just shouting, everyone began to use rituals to strengthen their own power. Here at the seaport, there is no difference in power between believers who have just glimpsed the door and reality benders. However, due to the nature of the seaport, it is impossible to kill people here.
Except Lu Ning, who now masters the hunting principles.
She ignored those guys who were still fighting with the invisible monsters and continued running towards the center of the city. She had been sitting in the corner of the last row, and the location she appeared after the space transformation was also on the edge of the city. So what if it was the center of the venue? Is there any spatial distribution pattern?
But before she could reach the city center, the road was cut off. A rift valley about ten meters wide cuts the road in the middle, and there is no way around it at all. Similar to Lu Ning, many people also stopped here.
If she was alone, it would be enough to use the power of Dong Mantra to build a bridge across this place. But with so many people around, Lu Ning was not willing to be the one who was besieged, even if she would not die in the hands of these people. , who knows if the harbor itself has any means of killing people?
There were four people standing close to her, obviously knowing each other. The person at the front turned out to be an orc. His head had turned into a ferocious dog head, but his body still maintained the appearance of a human. Now he squatted down slightly, as if he was about to jump directly over the ten-meter rift, but he was blocked by someone beside him. The people were dissuaded.
These people wore different clothes, but each of them wore an armband that looked familiar to Lu Ning. She recalled it and remembered that when she first saw Qisha, she was wearing the same armband on her left arm. The armbands, even the patterns are exactly the same.
In other words, these people are from Aurora?
Although Qisha has a cold attitude, she is considered Lu Ning's friend after all, and she might be able to try to get in touch with her.
Lu Ning moved a little closer to that side. Unexpectedly, the orc's senses were very sharp. Lu Ning only took a few steps, and he immediately turned around and said, "Who is that person?"
"It's an internal staff member designated by Miss Qisha." A person next to him who completely wrapped his body in a brown robe answered.
"I remember it was the person recommended by the foreign affairs officer himself." The man in a black tuxedo smiled, "It's worth paying attention to."
"So... friendly forces?" The woman carrying a long bow and staff asked, tilting her head.
Lu Ning was still a little far away from them, but the voices of these people were so low that she didn't hear them clearly. She only saw the orcs reacting to her approach. After pausing for a moment and finding no further response from the other party, she continued walking over.
"I have seen your armband." Lu Ning walked to a certain distance and said, "It was sewn on a person in black military uniform."
"Sure enough, it's the person the leader has seen..." The orc opened his mouth to speak, and the three people next to him could only shake their heads helplessly.
"Lu Ning, I heard the leader said your name." The man in black tuxedo smiled at Lu Ning, "We don't know the reason, but since the leader said you are not an enemy, we will not treat you as one. . We can talk about what’s going on here now.”
"This is the harbor."
After hearing Lu Ning say this term, the four of them looked at each other and seemed to have never heard of it.
"Seaport... Is there any difference between this place and the place we were before?" the man asked again.
"The place we were in before was called the inland, and the reason why we came here was because the extradition opened the door to the seaport. People from the inland generally only come through this way. However, the inland People in Lu have something called an anchor point. As long as they have that and find a way, they can return."
"That's it, thank you for clarifying my doubts." The man pawed, "Oh, I'm sorry, we know your name, maybe you don't know a few of us. I am Xia Akna, one of the members of Aurora. This person The slightly sinister-looking gentleman is Hu Quan, and the beautiful lady behind me is Gong Ying, Roy Gong Ying. Please call the last one 279, please don’t call me by the wrong name.”
The people in Jiguang looked a little weirder than the people in Lan Tu, but it was considered normal in that scene, and Lu Ning could accept it.
"Okay, let's talk about business." Lu Ning glanced at the rift valley, "Since you are the ones who can come out, it will be easy for you to get through this wide rift valley. The only problem is the surrounding people. People might take the opportunity to launch a siege, and most of the other people standing on the edge of the rift valley also have the same idea?"
"In fact, someone has already done this, and then was beaten down by an attack from the side." Akna shrugged, "Although we think we are strong, we are not invincible. What if something goes wrong here? , Death is a trivial matter, but if you miss the leader’s responsibility, you will be responsible for it.”
Lu Ning glanced at Akna with some surprise. This person is actually a very calm and rational person. Who would have expected him to be so loyal to Qisha?
"Miss Qisha asked us to keep an eye on this reception. We must at least have someone send information." Erqijiu said, "I can withstand the intensity of the attack just now and can implement decoy tactics."
"That's not possible..." Gong Ying stopped Erqijiu calmly.
Akna smiled bitterly at Lu Ning. And with Lu Ning's observation ability, the metal reflection can already be seen from part of 279's hat. Is this a mechanical transformation person? Or is it just a robot?
"If everyone here will attack anyone who tries to get past, then we might as well think of another way." Lu Ning said.
"Please clarify our doubts." Akna said humbly.
"How about digging? It doesn't need to be too deep. I can open a passage underground. Then I can build a bridge on the walls on both sides of the rift valley. After reaching the opposite side, I can dig into the ground on the opposite side. Although it is more laborious." Lu Ning said Come up with your own ideas. We need to find someone because Dong, Zhu, and Mo are not good at digging, but with the various bizarre technologies in the Dead Kingdom, it is not difficult for one person to dig alone.
However, Akna just shook his head.
"This is an idea, but it doesn't work. We have already tried it once. When we dig down about three meters, we will dig out black soil like asphalt. We identified it and found that it is extremely dangerous. Harmful things should not be touched at all.”
"As expected..." Lu Ning just suggested it. Since it has been tried before, he should give up. Probably except for the idea of crossing over, the other methods are also blocked, right?
However, this is a little strange.
This time, all those brought here by the extraditers can become supermen in the harbor. For these people, at least 80% of the ten meters can be crossed, not to mention all. From Lu Ning's own perspective, if she hadn't seen anyone nearby, her first reaction would have been to build an ice bridge to cross over, and she wouldn't have hesitated at all.
So the question is – why did the first people stop? Even if there are many people, the difference in time they cross is not big. To be more extreme, even if the person at the end knocks down all the people in front, that person can cross the rift by himself, and the people who come after him, In fact, it is the new "first batch".
There are two answers. Either some people who are unable to cross the rift but have long-range attack capabilities do not want others to pass by, or... there are some people here who are originally guarding here to prevent others from passing by.
Lu Ning suddenly raised her head and looked at the people waiting sparsely at the edge of the rift valley further away.
"Do you remember who made the move when someone tried to leap?"
"Huh? Ms. Lu Ning, I have to remind you that although some people are attacking people who are trying to leap, if we attack people on the shore directly, I am afraid we will be considered enemies by everyone..." Akna warned. .
"But what if there are real guardians among those people?" Lu Ning said.
Akna smiled: "Why do you think those people dare to act like this? In this place where we don't trust each other, can we still tell others that there are guards?"
"No need." Lu Ning blew a breath of cold air onto her fingers, then gently pressed her fingertips against her forehead.
Akna was slightly startled.
"I have something you don't have. Point it out to me. After I kill them all, you can go there." The cold mist gradually drooped down from Lu Ning's cheeks, and a crown - black was formed on the forehead. ice crystal crown.
"List." 279 answered faster than Akena. Maybe the machine's processing speed is faster than the human brain that needs to consider favors after all. As soon as she moved her fingers, some red marks immediately appeared in Lu Ning's field of vision. They met some people on the shore...the number was about thirty.
"Thanks."
The cold mist continued to fall, and black pauldrons formed on his shoulders. Countless exquisite little bells hung from both sides of the crown and the edges of the pauldrons, but did not make a sound. While the armor covered her body, a pitch-black sickle and a dagger condensed with ice crystals were generated in Lu Ning's left and right hands respectively. She stepped on the ground hard, and the ice slide stretched out in front of her, towards the nearest red man. The bidders rushed away.
The sprint begins——
The opponent was not defenseless. When he found an ice path spreading towards him, he immediately pulled out a short-handled war hammer from his back and smashed it with his backhand at the black figure rushing along the chute. A sticky force surged above the war hammer, even creating a corrosion-like trajectory in the air.
But the moment the two sides came into contact, the trajectory, war hammer, and human body were all split into two. A black arc of light swept across a semicircle in the air, and a straight light penetrated through the central axis of the circle. The slide deflected and headed towards the second The red mark spreads.
Silent winter.
