The moment he saw the corpse, Lu Ning had already transformed into a mist-like form, and at the same time brought all surrounding life signals into his detection range. His eyes flickered with ghostly fire, but he didn't see the black life mark.
Not a contained object? Or did she come out late?
Lu Ning returned to normal.
The four contained objects in the same corridor as Orange Time are B6 Tiger, B9 Cloud Cutting Sword, and C17 Fu Lu Shou Xi. They all have the ability to break through containment, but as far as Lu Ning's observation is concerned, every contained object is still peacefully staying in the containment unit. She got closer to the corpse. The corpse's face was facing down, and the blood accumulated in a small puddle under the body, which had not completely coagulated.
She moved the corpse's head slightly with her foot. She didn't recognize the face. In her hurry, she couldn't think of any of the eighty contained objects that could cause such a wound.
No, there was no alarm, and it might not even have been a breakthrough. She turned the body over and found that the wound was on the chest and abdomen. It was a sharp cut that hit the heart and killed him with one blow.
"A one-hit kill from a frontal attack?"
Lu Ning noticed that something was missing from the scene. Judging from the posture of the dead executor, he should have fought back while holding the core weapon, but the core weapon was missing. The containment object will not specifically capture the core weapon of the executor, at most it will just smash it.
There are actually executors who attack one of their own people? How many of these moles are going to come out?
Lu Ning quickly returned to the temporary lounge and retrieved the video of the corresponding corridor. However, since the perpetrator was the executor, he was obviously prepared. Lu Ning could only see that about five or six minutes before he came out, the body suddenly appeared in the corridor.
It is impossible for the video of Judgment Island to be edited, so this is the effect of a certain core weapon itself. Lu Ning didn't see the person who did it appear, and it was obvious that the other person was more cautious than he thought.
And if the videos from other corridors were extracted and compared during the same time period, the crime scene could not be found. After Lu Ning reported the incident, he searched for the identity of the deceased. Lu Ning didn't recognize the team he came from, and the one in charge today was B6 Tiger, which meant there was no problem with him appearing in that corridor.
"Um?"
Lu Ning moved the monitoring time forward again and took out the videos of several corridors to look at them.
There was something wrong with the deceased's movement trajectory after leaving the lounge.
As I said before, the body suddenly appeared in the corridor. If he was supposed to work in the containment unit in that corridor, where did he go before? Although the executive's management work does not have to be completed at a fixed time, most people's habit is to finish the work first.
And this person... after setting off, he went around two other corridors and then disappeared.
Lu Ning confirmed the situation in several adjacent corridors. Yes, the deceased had disappeared. Did he step into some trap, or was it his own ability to disappear from the surveillance camera?
At this time, several more executors returned one after another. Many people didn't really care about the death of someone, and no one even came to see Lu Ning's investigation. Most of the newcomers in low-level buildings are like this. Lu Ning has never worked with this group of people before. Now it seems that they are much more indifferent than Lu Ning's group.
Soon, Judgment Island fed back a message to Lu Ning's report.
"A private alliance?"
How long had it been before this group of newcomers had done so many things?
To put it simply, some of the last batch of newcomers sensed the approaching crisis, and began to form cliques out of concerns about the level of their core weapons. This behavior seems to be secretive, but it cannot escape the eyes of Judgment Island. It is just that because it cannot cause any serious consequences, it does not deliberately stop it.
The corpse Lu Ning discovered was a member of this small group.
"Infighting? No..."
At this time, Zhou Weiyuan, Felici, and Tiangong also returned to the lounge. They all came over when they saw Lu Ning sitting in front of the screen thinking.
"What happened? Why don't you have lunch?" Zhou Weiyuan asked.
"Take a look." Lu Ning showed the information he collected to his teammates, "I don't think it is a simple murder."
"It's a clear case of murder and selling goods," Felic said.
"We can also use other people's core weapons. In essence, the more weapons, the better. However, this person... level up?" Zhou Weiyuan frowned, "level weapons may have some special effects, but in terms of combat, they provide The improvement is minimal."
"You can't think like this. If you kill someone at the same level today, what if they target someone at another level later?" Tiangong said with some indignation.
"Even if low-level core weapons want to assassinate high-level weapons, it is very difficult. They can't kill people beyond the level." Felic shook his head slightly.
Yes, the levels of core weapons are very clearly separated by strength. Even if you play from a low level to a high level, you will receive a certain damage reduction penalty. The leapfrog challenge is basically just a thought, but... what if you can upgrade?
"Take away the core weapons...kill the executors. These can also improve the level of the core weapons, right? Did the captain say that? Kill the executors and merge them into similar weapons..." Lu Ning asked.
It was indeed mentioned, but the most commonly used method is to crush the doomsday core.
"It is difficult to integrate weapons of the same type into one, and it requires outside professionals to help knock out the impurities." Zhou Weiyuan said, "Yan Rong told me that she has consulted several workshops to find out if the weapons are of the same type. It doesn’t mean that the appearance is the same, but that the experience, personality, etc. of the original holder of the core weapon are similar to yours. In addition, if they are different, it does not mean that they cannot be integrated, but the impurities are very large. Although it can improve the strength, But it will make your own strength muddy.”
"Then we may need to make the worst guesses about those people." Felic's voice became gloomy, "First improve your strength to get through the difficulties, and then consider the harmful effects of rapid improvement on yourself later. This is a short-sighted approach among many. A solution that people will immediately think of.”
"Oh, there is no need to judge so extreme. After all, if you know that you are about to face a fatal environment, you will definitely seize any opportunity to improve." Zhou Weiyuan laughed, "It's just that this kind of behavior at the expense of others often attracts A greater disaster.”
"What, what are your ideas for dealing with it?" Lu Ning asked.
"If we deal with it, there are only two ways." Zhou Weiyuan raised two fingers.
Either destroy this force directly, or let it go.
It is impractical to adopt a restraint approach, and no one has the power to regulate it. The most Lu Ning can do is to notify the captain of these people, but... how useful is it?
"Lu Ning, we don't need to worry about their own internal affairs. After all, this is the way they choose to survive. We just need to pay attention to this group of people and don't let them target us." Zhou Weiyuan said.
His words were echoed by several teammates nearby. Lu Ning didn't pay attention to this matter for the sake of justice. She just felt that these people were able to attack her own people, so they might not be able to do more cruel things.
Zhou Weiyuan meant to be wary of them at all times, since we wouldn't be able to get along for very long anyway. For Lu Ning, her first reaction after knowing the truth was to kill all these people to avoid future troubles.
"Is raising tigers a problem?" Lu Ning asked.
"You can't afford it." Zhou Weiyuan patted her shoulder, "Do you need me to guarantee it?"
"never mind."
The afternoon's work was not for "orange time", Lu Ning had to be prepared for management. She still has many doubts. For example, there is no disguise at all when killing each other at this time. Are these people afraid that others will not find out? Even if he killed someone, why did he throw the body in the corridor where he was supposed to be working?
The behavior of these people is full of all kinds of superfluous behaviors, and they don't even do basic things like destroying corpses and exterminating traces. It's as if they are waiting to be discovered by her.
Lu Ning's work targets in the afternoon were the D9 Altar of Truth and the D15 Criminal Master. Yes, they needed to manage two parallel-level containment objects. This was also some of the responsibilities that increased as the level of the executor increased. The two containments are in the same corridor. She walked into the containment unit of the Altar of Truth and immediately felt the oppression and bloodshed here.
The "Altar of Truth" is a wish-making machine at the cost of life. It has the simplest conversion formula of "life equals wish". As long as a certain number of lives are sacrificed, it can grant the wish of the wisher. And if there is not enough life, then he will sacrifice the wisher and accumulate it to wait for the arrival of the next wisher.
In its original world, the Altar of Truth could directly draw out the lives within about fifty meters of it as sacrifices for wishes, but on this Judgment Island, its effect is limited to its own containment unit. At the same time, The management of it must also be carried out by one person, because if there are more than one person, any one of them who wants to sacrifice can endanger the lives of others.
The Altar of Truth itself is a building made of white stone. Moss covers most of the area on the altar. The air is slightly humid, but it has a fresh breath.
The new rule book Lu Ning got now records how each contained object brought the original world into doom. This altar almost infinitely amplified the desires of humans in that world. When the recovery team arrived, about a hundred Ninety percent of the human race has been sacrificed by the remaining people, and the remaining 10% have become either superhuman or monster existences due to the sacrifices. They...or in other words, they use extraordinary methods to They are fighting each other, just to drag each other to the altar to continue to sacrifice, so that they can continue to ascend. No one even notices that the world they live in is on the verge of destruction because of such a battle.
However, here, its management difficulty is only "merging".
Similar to "Orange Time", as long as you don't make a wish on the altar, the executor is basically safe. Lu Ning only needed to perform routine cleaning of the altar and use special instruments to test whether the functions of the altar were still functioning normally. This didn't take long. After half a moment, Lu Ning walked out of the containment unit.
When she closed the door, she saw two other Executors standing in the corridor, at the door of another containment unit. When they found Lu Ning coming out, the two of them nodded slightly to her. Lu Ning also nodded in response, and then the two of them left in a hurry.
Acting suspiciously... Lu Ning frowned, she was getting more suspicious now. However, management work was still the top priority. She walked to the "Crime Master"'s holding unit and swiped the card to open the door.
However, the moment she walked into the containment unit, Lu Ning's muscles all tensed up - the contained objects that should have been sitting in the containment unit like this prison cell were missing!
"Shh, don't be nervous."
A brisk male voice sounded behind Lu Ning, and she immediately turned into mist, taking in everything around her. A black flame burned brightly in the field of vision, which meant that the "Crime Master" had broken through containment!
This is just a contained object that will become vicious after breaking through. Even if Lu Ning fights alone, he may not be better than the other party, but the criminal master... this contained object is quite weird.
"Ah, irritable, irritable, and suspicious. The psychological pressure of this poor place is really great, isn't it? Every time I need to kill people to vent, I always have this feeling, an impulse. But we We are all mature people, and we can suppress our own nature." The criminal master did not take any offensive actions, but just muttered behind Lu Ning.
"Go back to the holding unit, or I'll beat you back." Lu Ning said in a deep voice. Now that the "criminal master" has not shown her doomsday core "fancy murder", she must put pressure on the other party.
"If I really wanted to leave, with my skills, you wouldn't see me here. I was just curious because I smelled a similar scent, so I stayed here. As a result, there was no chance of me leaving. it disappointed me."
Lu Ning took action directly and struck the black flame with the sickle. However, the black flame disappeared in an instant and reappeared behind Lu Ning.
"You see, this is who you are. Murderous impulses, no need for careful planning, taking killing as the priority and eliminating all threats. Have you lived in a harmonious environment for too long? But you can't go against your nature, If you keep suppressing it, something will happen to you. Now you are under a lot of pressure and you need to vent. If you don't accept those methods you don't like, isn't there a good opportunity now?"
The criminal master whispered softly, and Lu Ning didn't even notice that her movements were a little slow.
Some contained objects are very good at targeting people's hearts, and the Criminal Master is undoubtedly one of them. At this time, Lu Ning also noticed another problem that no one seemed to pay attention to.
"Hey, Executor. When you think about 'killing' someone..."
...She will take action immediately!
The black mist rushed out of the "Crime Master"'s containment unit, and the scythe wiped out blue flames on the ground, but silence enveloped everything.
