"You did a good job today. Let's go back and rest. After the rest tomorrow, we will go to the crazy-level building, but I won't be with you."
After returning to the team lounge, Nono said this, and everyone was surprised.
"Captain, aren't you coming with us?" Zhou Weiyuan asked immediately.
"Yes, because there will be a group of new people arriving tomorrow, and the number will be much larger than before. The number of people in our team will be greatly expanded, so we won't be able to study with the team like half new people and half old people like before. You can't bring them here." Nuo glanced at everyone and said, "I will take the newcomers to a strong building to train first, and then the team will be ready. It will take about three days. During these three days, you will be in a captain-less state, listening to crazy-level buildings. The other captains told me to come back and tell me if anything happens... Internally, Lu Ning and Felic are responsible for the time being, and you two will discuss and decide."
Lu Ning and Felic nodded.
"In addition, about one or two days before your next work, someone will ask you to participate in training - this is additional training in addition to normal management work, and the person who will train you is our instructor 'Ke Yong, he will give you some super-standard training, which is voluntary. It will probably help you grow quickly without risking your life."
"Growing fast? Is there such a good thing?" Aioli was surprised.
"Ke Yong's core weapon costs a lot to activate once, so I can't use it often, but this is a good opportunity." Nono said, "My personal suggestion is that you'd better train all of you. , on the entire Judgment Island, this is the only opportunity where you can experience death in person without having to pay the price of death."
"We will go." Lu Ning said seriously. She had already vaguely guessed that something big was going to happen. As a captain, Nono was quite responsible, so it was best to listen to what she emphasized.
The same conversation also happened among the other teams. Regardless of whether the captains wanted to take responsibility or not, it would be good for them to have more survivability of their enforcers.
The next day, it was the second rest. Lu Ning had earned enough money to buy the "Famine" through the Knights of Justice, and Zhou Weiyuan seemed to have obtained the necessary funds. Everyone set off again and rushed to where they needed.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to be able to raise enough funds in such a short period of time. However, most of the value of the plague actually comes from its reputation. Its own strength is only in line with its own level, not Consider something else? With a little more money, you might be able to buy a reconstructed weapon based on a 'god' level weapon."
It's still the same clerk, but his attitude has changed a lot. In the cities outside the ring, since the executors will not do anything casually, the general estimation of strength is based on the level of weapons worn on the body and how much money they have. Lu Ning was able to spend such a sum of money in a short period of time this time, either because he was a ruthless person who could work overtime, or he had dealt with a lot of troublesome alarms, whichever one was the same.
"I only want this." Lu Ning was not prepared to say more. After paying the money, she reached out and grabbed Fang Bian.
The green firearm did not resist Lu Ning's touch. Even the moment Lu Ning touched it, the two parties had completed the "contact".
But Lu Ning also felt a little disappointed at this moment. Because of this connection, she already knew that although this weapon had some connection with her, it was not as close as she had thought before. There are just some similarities.
She did obtain a mad-level weapon that suited her, but that was all, and there were no more adventures. Even he still didn’t know what the previous owner of this weapon, "Poison Dance" Vanessa, had experienced. Why he died, and why this weapon survived intact.
As a mad-level weapon, "Blight" is now much more powerful than her own Death Knell, and its abilities are similar to Death Knell.
The normal passive "Erosion Pathogen" allows Lu Ning to leave a powerful pathogen with a survivability of more than three moments on anything he comes into contact with. Whether it is an executor or a contained object, even the doomsday core, this pathogen has the ability to infect, but it has an effect. The distinction between strong and weak. Similar to the life vision of "Death Knell", "Famine" has the effect of "Virus Vision", which can more accurately mark all units infected with the virus. However, in contrast, if the opponent has never been exposed to the pathogen, Lu Ning cannot observe the other party in this way.
In addition, "famine" also has the functions of "secondary generalization", "deepening mutation", "lethal proliferation", and "controlling dead corpses". It is almost a humanoid self-propelled biochemical virus designer. If this is With a god-level weapon, Vanessa probably wouldn't have died in that battle.
As for the badge of the famine, it is similar to the bell of the death knell. It's just that the bell of the death knell can eliminate all sounds, and when the badge of the plague is shaken, it will directly plant pathogens into the surrounding creatures, contained objects, and doomsday cores, secretly and quickly.
This also gave Lu Ning finally a clear idea of the mad-level core weapons.
"Are you satisfied?" the clerk said with a smile, "The plague has been here for a long time, and there are many people who have come to see it. However, people with such funds would rather save a little more to exchange for more... high-end products. weapons."
"High-end may not be suitable." Lu Ning shrugged. Even if she didn't notice anything, she could feel that something big was going to happen in fifteen days just from the mission time limit given by the distribution center, even if there were better weapons. , and she didn’t have time to save enough money to buy it.
"So do you want to buy something else? Our other products are also good. You were here last time, so you should have a deep understanding of them." The clerk said enthusiastically.
"But those things are not life-saving and can only be used to adapt to changes." Lu Ning said, "Since you are in this business, you should know that our work... cannot be dealt with by these little tricks."
"Of course, of course, we know this very well." The clerk said with a smile and stepped aside.
It can be seen that although the clerk maintains a polite attitude towards customers like Lu Ning, he does not necessarily want to keep her. A thought suddenly flashed through Lu Ning's mind: "There is something I don't know if you are clear about."
"You say."
"Do you know what the situation is like in the sea outside Judgment Island?"
The clerk was stunned for a moment when he heard this question, and then shook his head.
"Ms. Executor, I don't know about the sea, I only see it occasionally. If you ask this, I don't know the specific situation. If you know it well, you can take train No. 44 to the coast and have a look. .”
Train number 44?
Lu Ning didn't know that there was a special train line leading to the coast.
"This train...I didn't see any train lines."
"There will be no trains indoors. This car is a special creation." said the clerk. "Train No. 44 has been running since I came here. All you have to do is go outside and draw on the ground. Write forty-four in any word in a circle, and within thirty seconds you can see the boarding door of train number forty-four. And if you want to return, write number forty-four in a triangle That’s it.”
"Thanks."
“It’s an honor to serve our guests.”
After Lu Ning left Fangshi, she walked to the outdoor area. Thick fog still shrouded the city outside the ring, but Lu Ning could not feel the moisture that should really belong to the fog from the fog.
"This Judgment Island..."
White fog, green sea, train number 44.
It was all strange, as strange as the inside of the building. Lu Ning found a stone from the roadside, drew a circle on the ground, and filled in the numbers.
The sound of the whistle seemed to come from a very far away place. Although there were no railroad tracks on the ground, the roar of the train came. Then, Lu Ning felt that the fog in front of her eyes was cut open by a blue-black flash.
A crack just big enough for a person to walk up opened in the air. There were strange steel objects spreading on the edge of the crack, which was covered with reddish-brown rust spots.
Lu Ning thought for a while and stepped into the crack.
The dim light shines on the swaying carriage in front of you, and the paint on the retro hardwood tables and chairs has peeled off. There were no passengers, but there were two cups of tea placed on a small table in the front, still steaming. The interior of the cabin was originally blue, but the rust on the metal shell has swallowed up most of the blue area. There were dark purple curtains hanging beside the windows. Perhaps they were the best quality items on the entire train, as there were no traces of age damage left on them.
There is no more smell in the air except the smell of rust and tea leaves. The temperature here was obviously much lower than that of the outside world, and Lu Ning even felt a bit chilly.
[Train No. 4-4-44 has departed. Passengers, please sit tight. This train ends at Shenhai. The next stop is coming - squeak - stop, the circular coast. 】
A laggy, even poor-sounding electronic announcement came from the speakers. Lu Ning did not sit in the seat with tea, but chose the back of the carriage.
It was completely dark outside the car window. Occasionally something seemed to flash by in the darkness, but Lu Ning didn't look. After all, there was a hand-painted sign saying "No Looking Out" posted next to the window. She simply closed the curtains, out of sight and out of mind.
According to the time on the watch, about nine hundred seconds passed before the train slowly stopped.
[Ring Sea-The coast has arrived. 】
The train door opened, and Lu Ning walked down. She heard some scraping sound behind her, as if a scraper was being used to remove rust marks, which made her whole body feel numb. However, she did not look back and left directly. Go down.
Then, everything became clear.
There is no such thick fog at the seaside, and some light fog does not block the view. From light green to dark green, the endless ocean is right in front of Lu Ning. It had no waves and no waves, just like a pool of stagnant water. However... Lu Ning had never seen a sea without waves.
There is another person standing on the beach. This is a tall man with dyed hair blue. He is wearing a brown jacket. One hand is carrying a strange weapon with curved arcs on both sides. He has the appearance of a mixed race in his eyebrows. .
He was a tourist. Lu Ning had some impression of him, and later joined Sarao's team.
"Hello, ma'am."
Of course the man also noticed Lu Ning and bowed slightly in greeting.
"Are you here too? Did you find something?" Lu Ning asked.
"I did make a discovery, but it was just a discovery." The man said in an indifferent tone, "My name is Jiu Qishi. You don't need to care about whether this is my real name. I run an office in the distribution center."
Office?
Lu Ning had a vague feeling that there might be something complicated involved.
"You don't need to think too much. We are just some tourists gathered together, but we do not act in the form of a team, but in the form of entrustment. There are not many people like us." Jiu Qishi stretched out his hand from his clothes He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Lu Ning, "If you have any entrustment, we can also provide services. The price depends on the specific content. Whether it is investigation, scene investigation, event reconstruction, or even entrustment of murder, we can do it. , we are among the top three outstanding firms in the distribution center industry.”
Lu Ning took the business card and glanced at it. It said [Jiu Qishi, Chief Director of Ice Castle Office] on it. On the back, there was a series of exclusive contact numbers, an email address and a crow emblem, which seemed to be certified by the distribution center. Passed.
"I introduce myself so that I don't have to explain a lot of troublesome reasons. I am executing a commission, and if I share my findings now, I will worry that you will tell these things and pass them on to people I don't know." I hope it comes to the ears of someone who knows." Jiu Qishi said slowly.
"I understand, you are investigating and even want to kill someone. Now you are not strong enough, so you want to use some means to achieve your goal." It was not difficult to understand what Jiu Qishi meant. Lu Ning chuckled, "But How do I know if it’s my friend you’re dealing with?”
"I know some information about the tourists here now." Jiu Qishi glanced at Lu Ning, "Now, all the tourists belonging to Nono, Abigail and Giovanni are alive, and everyone in our team is dead. Two tourists, and three tourists in Lingqi's team died, so the range has been narrowed. Who is your friend? Or which ones? "
"You can investigate on your own, and I won't tell you anything." Lu Ning said, "Since you have said it clearly, I will also treat you as a potential uncertain factor."
"Potential... is okay. Then let's investigate separately and not interfere. I have no intention of fighting here, it is meaningless. Please allow me to take my leave first."
After Jukishi finished speaking, he walked in one direction along the coast. Lu Ning stood there for a moment and walked in another direction.
