The mirror that lost its reflection also shattered and disappeared. After the biggest threat was removed, Zuo Xiaobi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After Lu Ning showed such an obvious supporting attitude, he immediately turned around and rushed towards the chimney monster.
"It's really lively and lively." Lu Ying smiled when she saw it.
"No, he is expressing his attitude." Lu Ning said, "He knows this type of survival method very well, although he doesn't know how he learned it."
Within three minutes, Zuo Xiaobi used an ax to chop the chimney monster into pieces that could no longer move. Lu Ning also brought Lu Ying and Xi Bier closer, and stretched out her hand to Zuo Xiaobi, holding a golden scale in her hand.
"We meet again, thank you." Zuo Xiaobi said breathlessly. The chimney monster could not be massacred unilaterally. It took a lot of effort for him to kill his opponent, and even the wound on his abdomen had not fully healed.
"It's nothing. I need you to quickly regain your fighting strength. Where do you want to move the wound? We don't have time to wait here for you to fully recover." Lu Ning said.
"...You're much cooler than the last time we met." Zuo Xiaobi waved his ax, "My right hand is better, I'm better at my left hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, fire ignited at both ends of the scale. The blue and red flames instantly exchanged positions on the scale. The wound on Zuo Xiaobi's abdomen immediately disappeared, replaced by an extra one on his right arm. Penetrating wounds.
"Tell me about the situation over there and follow me." Lu Ning said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
"My side? The situation on my side is just ordinary... Oh, I can talk about some of the people I met and the information exchanged with these people."
As Zuo Xiaobi walked, he narrated what happened to Ke Daolin and Zhan Qiuxin. Lu Ning's expression did not change at all along the way, as if these were all expected things. After Zuo Xiaobi finished speaking, he followed suit and observed Lu Ying and Sybil.
In Area 25, Lu Ning walked up a familiar mountain. Her colleague who walked up threw a golden flame from her hand and ignited the surrounding trees. The trees quickly turned into candles under the burning flames, forming a golden road. However, as this road spread, the aura of the mantra in Lu Ning's body began to gradually decline.
When she was about to reach the top of the mountain, the flames on Lu Ning's body finally disappeared, leaving only a layer of black skirt on her body. There was a light behind her, but there was a dead silence under her feet.
There was a person on the top of the mountain. There were many stands around him. Cameras of various sizes were supported on the mountain. They looked like a bunch of totems. Lu Ning's eyes wandered around and finally landed on the old man.
Wei Zhan.
"director."
Lu Ning spoke. Wei Zhan raised his head and sighed when he saw Lu Ning and others.
"Just a few of you?"
"Many people are probably still wandering in the dreamland of the ocean." Lu Ning said, "But you didn't make any response, right?"
"Why do you think I can stop the sea's dream? We are just opponents. We are not completely sure that we can stop the sea from the world." Yu Zhan said.
"But you've already made it this far, right?" Lu Ning slowly walked towards Yu Zhan's position. The three people around him were a step or two behind and followed behind. Wei Zhan also let them continue to answer Lu Ning's questions.
"We did make a lot of preparations." Yu Zhan reached out and touched the camera closest to him, "But until the end, no one knows whether these preparations will work."
"And you are here now to wait for someone?" Lu Ning asked.
Yu Zhan nodded: "You can still see clearly, Lu Ning. You are the photographer I hired myself. There is no doubt that you have talent. Of course, this is not the point. The point is... the Urashima phenomenon. The box of a thing cannot be opened by the maker, it must be opened by someone else to be effective.”
Click.
Lu Ning felt something break under her feet. With this slight sound, the lens caps of all the cameras around Yu Zhan fell down at the same time.
"...Just like this." Yu Zhan smiled lightly.
The lights suddenly turned on, illuminating the entire mountain peak. Yu Zhan stood on the wide platform. The strong wind blew and shook the shadows of the surrounding trees. The whole world seemed to turn into a black and white film played frame by frame. Lu Ning even had a thought. A feeling of vomiting that comes from staring at the screen for too long. After a few seconds, the world returned to its original state, but there were many more people on the high platform.
"The Urashima phenomenon is the compression and release of time. The time and space it creates can be defective or complete. And in the complete time and space, you also exist, and it was you who helped me complete it. The filming of the scheduled film - Lu Ning, among these people, you have the highest variable."
Lu Ning saw Ke Daolin, Qu Yi, Guo Xiao, An Youxi, and even... herself.
"What's surprising is that other people show at most one or two paths, but here...you can see almost any situation. Are you very uncertain in your heart, or are you the one who A random choice?”
Lu Ning saw herself in a blue robe with countless mysterious patterns drawn on it. She was holding a bone knife in her left hand and a spear in her right hand, with a serious look on her face. Next to her was Lu Ning, who was wearing a white suit. He wore a pair of jeweled gloves on each hand, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. The last one, Lu Ning, was covered by a huge cloak woven with black feathers. The pupil of his left eye had turned blood red, and ferocious black patterns spread around the eye sockets, covering almost half of his face.
"This is really a terrifying lineup... Lu Ning, wouldn't you choose the ending of Ocean Watcher among others?" Zuo Xiaobi said.
It’s not that it’s impossible, it’s that it’s very difficult.
After all, the time and space created by the Urashima phenomenon are very different from normal time and space. Especially with Yu Zhan's immature time and space technology, it is impossible to copy the professional time control expert Xixi, and without foreign aid, What choice would Lu Ning make... Lu Ning could probably figure it out after thinking about it. Yu Zhan was right. She was always a person who changed her strategy according to the trend.
The dark clouds in the sky began to roll, shaking the silver shell. The stone platforms raised on the ground began to emit light, not very bright, but eye-catching enough. The photographers around Yu Zhan all raised their heads and looked at the sky. Ke Daolin, who was dressed in a purple military uniform, asked: "Director, is this what you said...the ending?"
"No, the outcome is determined by our efforts." After Yu Zhan finished speaking, he looked at Lu Ning, "The filming will be completed soon. The final shot will be that the Moonlight Valley isolates the ocean from the inland, and the world becomes one Stable state, are you willing to be a member of us and complete the filming of this section?"
"You already have many excellent photographers." Lu Ning looked at the familiar and unfamiliar faces next to her, "Director, you don't need me."
"So, let's change the question, do you want to stop my actions?" Yu Zhan asked again, "Or do you disagree with what we are doing?"
"There's no point in disagreeing. I have no personal position to speak of." Lu Ning said, "I came here just because this is the most convenient place."
"Huh?" Yu Zhan was stunned for a moment. At this time, Lu Ning, in a white suit, spoke: "Director, as a person, what I always value most is what I have to do at the moment. Of course, I came to you not because of what you are. For reasons like the mastermind behind the scenes, it all means nothing to me, the meaning only lies in what you can bring to me.”
"She's not here to defeat you." Lu Ning in blue also said.
"Similarly, she will definitely not choose your camp, otherwise she would not have rejected you just now." Black Feather Cloak Lu Ning added in a low voice.
Lu Ning reached out and grabbed the clothes on her shoulders: "I agree with your choice, and I also agree with you as a member of mankind to change the status quo of this world. This is what we have in common, director. But, we should treat all outsiders as enemies. , expecting to defeat or defend those external forces in this way, I cannot support this intention, after all, there are actually people I know there."
"you……"
Before Wei Zhan could answer, Lu Ning slowly tore off the black dress like a layer of skin. Under the torn off "shell", the clothes Lu Ning was originally wearing appeared. She added With a little more strength, she tore off the whole dress. The darkness condensed into a ball in her hands, and then flew into the sky.
"Silence will cover up the secrets of this world, and secrets will remain in the coffin forever. Whispers in uninhabited corners will also turn into eternal silence."
A black spot appeared on the silver shell, as if a drop of ink had been integrated into it. A drop of something like ink seeped out of the shell and fell silently to the ground of the Moonlight Valley.
"Huh? That thing...mantra? Did you summon the mantra?" Lu Ying was shocked.
"Relax a little, this harbor was originally designed for various powers, and the mantra is naturally included." Lu Ning looked at Wei Zhan, "Regardless of whether it is successful or not, your original design will probably Let the influence of the mantra be isolated at the seaport stage and prevent them from going further inland, right?"
"Indeed." Wei Zhan nodded.
"That's good, director, I sincerely hope you can do this, that's why I'm here." Lu Ning nodded, turned around, and said, "The things here are done, let's go."
"Ah? That's all? Then why do you need us to follow you?" Lu Ying was a little confused.
"You should feel it, right? I took out all the activated mantras in my body as prayers. The three mantras that previously selected me no longer exist in my body, and I no longer have the previous fighting power. In this case In a place full of monsters, I need to find some bodyguards," Lu Ning said.
"Hmph... aren't you afraid that we will leave you and just walk away?" Sybil sneered.
"So I found the third one on the way, Zuo Xiaobi. You are still a person who keeps your promises, aren't you?" Lu Ning glanced at the silent man.
"Lies." Zuo Xiaobi snorted, "How come you are exactly the same as someone I know? You are full of lies, openly showing weakness, and trying to get people to relax their vigilance against you. There is no need to use this method, which will only make people angry. I sense your bad taste.”
"I know, correct it next time."
While everyone was talking, they had already walked down the mountain along the candlelight avenue. Wei Zhan watched these people leave with a sullen face, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Oh... I can only say that it's me who actually opened up a road here." Lu Ning in white suit smiled, "But if we had all the information, we would probably take this road, right? No. As for choosing other paths because of being isolated and helpless..."
"It makes no difference. We never regret our choices." Lu Ning, a black-feathered cloak, stretched out a wing from behind and touched his cheek. "On the contrary, we should be glad that we are not the original body, but Urashima." A compressed copy of the phenomenon.”
"Director, it's time for us to shoot the last scene." Lu Ning in blue said, "Don't worry about me. Since there is no hostility now, the probability of us being hostile in the future is very low. We will complete the establishment of Moonlight Valley."
Yu Zhan sighed and nodded.

At this time, in Area 13 on the east side, Donald and Chen Anhui were running away.
The pain separated them from the influence of the ocean, but it was also the last support from their teammates. Although they also gained good combat effectiveness, they fell into a completely defenseless state due to the dream of sinking into the sea, and the monster easily killed three of their companions.
If Donald hadn't put a "curse" on everyone in advance that they would immediately feel heart pain when their companions die, this number would have been five.
The three monsters that successfully completed the kill devoured the corpses of their companions, and then their bodies began to undergo drastic changes. Donald was not sure what these changes were, but based on his experience, it was not difficult to judge that the monsters were aimed at them. Come on, if the monster that sniped at them hadn't been lucky enough to be slower, they both wouldn't have survived.
Fight back? When nothing is figured out, it is easy to delay the fight. If it is delayed until the changes of the three monsters are over, Donald will probably have no chance. The most important thing now is to find his teammates.
At this time, Chen Anhui yanked Donald from the side.
A howl of pain and joy came from the nearby house. Immediately afterwards, the roof exploded, and a ghost ship emerged from it. The huge bow of the ship immediately lay across the street. Chen Anhui will Donald pulled to this side, and the bow of the boat isolated the two chasing monsters from the other side.
"good chance!"
Chen Anhui shouted in a low voice, took out a box from his arms, opened it, and found a silver key lying inside the box.
"Shelter... Confused travelers seek refuge from you, please let us leave from terror and death!" Chen Anhui read to the silver key in a voice just enough for the two of them to hear.
In an instant, their bodies were sucked into the box like gas. Silver light enveloped the box, but within three to five seconds, the box disappeared in the air.
