the last contractor

Chapter 2 The Last Contractor

"Nightmare space?"

When Lu Ning heard the voice next to his ear, he couldn't help recalling the conversation between the two cosplayers at the comic exhibition, and couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

Is it the nightmare space that signs contracts with people in the real world and lets the contractors enter the world of movies or anime to perform tasks?
"Yes."

A mechanical voice sounded in Lu Ning's ear: "Some aspects are a little different from what you think, but I can understand it like you do."

"There are countless abilities here, which can be acquired at will, and there are countless worlds, which can be explored at will. Nightmare Space will issue death tasks. If they cannot be completed, they will be obliterated. Only by surviving the death tasks can they continue to change step by step. powerful."

The sound fell.

A faint blue light appeared in front of Lu Ning, a blue ball of light that cannot be described in words, just suspended in mid-air, this is something that cannot be explained by any technology that Lu Ning has learned.

Lu Ning looked at the faint blue light ball, and couldn't help feeling a little dazed for a moment.

"Nightmare space...contractors...these things really exist..."

It's been a long time.

Lu Ning gradually regained his composure. He took a deep breath and asked, "That is to say...the people who were in the real world before are the so-called contractors?"

"It used to be."

Nightmare Space replied.

Lu Ning frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking: "You said it used to be? What does this mean?"

Nightmare Space was silent for a while, as if considering whether to answer, but finally responded to Lu Ning:
"The Nightmare Dimension was attacked by an existence, was seriously damaged, and lost the ability to bind and restrict the contractors. All the contractors have been out of control. You are now the only contractor in the Nightmare Dimension."

Hearing the words of Nightmare Space, Lu Ning couldn't help being stunned. This news made him very unexpected, but it seemed to explain the conversation between the two contractors.

Nightmare Dimension will restrict contractors from using power in the real world, but now it has lost the ability to restrain contractors, which means that all contractors are free!

A thought here.

Lu Ning couldn't help taking a breath.

If the contractor loses his restraint, the real world will probably fall into chaos!
Lu Ning forced himself to calm down, and after thinking about it, he asked slowly towards the nightmare space: "With your strength, can't you restrain them again?"

"Yes."

Nightmare Space replied: "Because of the serious damage, I have completely lost control of the real world. I can no longer communicate with any contractor, and I can no longer have any impact on the real world. The call to you will be the last call."

"The last call?"

Lu Ning froze for a moment, caught the strange point in the words of the nightmare space, and couldn't help asking: "You can't repair yourself?"

"The damage is too severe to repair itself."

"That is to say, from now on, you can no longer summon anyone from the real world to become a contractor. I am the only remaining contractor."

"Yes."

Nightmare Dimension answered mechanically.

Lu Ning stood up thoughtfully, put one hand on his chin, and suddenly asked: "Then what will happen if I die?"

The nightmare space fell into silence.

After a while, Nightmare Space replied: "Nightmare Space no longer has the ability to summon new contractors. If the only contractor dies, Nightmare Space will lose its meaning of existence and will self-destruct."

Hearing the answer from Nightmare Space, Lu Ning was also silent for a few seconds, and then the arc of the corner of his mouth became higher and higher.

The smile gradually changed.

"That is to say... I am bound to your life and death now?!"

"Yes."

The answer to nightmare space mechanization.

But for some reason, Lu Ning vaguely caught a sense of helplessness and helplessness in this mechanical tone.

Lu Ning asked with a 'perverted' smile on his face, "I'm going to enter various worlds to do missions later, right?"

"Two hours later."

The answer to nightmare space mechanization.

"Then what are you waiting for?!"

Lu Ning looked at the faint blue ball of light and said, "Hurry up and give out some benefits, I don't mind any lottery, gift pack for beginners! If I die in some world, you will be finished what!"

Nightmare Dimension: "..."

The blue ball of light fell into silence, as if seriously considering Lu Ning's question.

A few seconds later, Nightmare Space responded:

"No."

"why not?"

"Because everything in the nightmare space must follow the rules, I can't give you power directly, just like I can't kill the contractors if they don't break the rules."

Nightmare Space is still a mechanical sound, but this time Lu Ning caught a hint of speechlessness in the tone of Nightmare Space.

The contractors recruited by Nightmare Space from the real world are all people with outstanding characteristics in all aspects, calm and decisive, cautious and cautious, and Lu Ning can be said to be the worst of all contractors, not one of them.

No talent, no specialty.

But in the end, it no longer has the power to conduct a large-scale search. Finally, because the two contractors took action in the real world, they reluctantly showed their power within a certain range, and could only summon the nearest Lu Ning as a contractor.

"Is that so..."

Lu Ning fell into deep thought. He guessed that Nightmare Space would not lie to him, because it would be meaningless to lie to him. He is just an ordinary person now.

After pondering for a while, Lu Ning looked up at the blue light ball, and asked tentatively: "Then, do you have any back door that you can open for me?"

Nightmare Dimension: "..."

To understand this sentence in another way, isn't it asking what loopholes it can exploit in the Nightmare Dimension? !
In the past, if a contractor asked such a question, it would either ignore it directly or deal with it with silence, and it was impossible to answer it.

And now it doesn't want to answer at all, but Lu Ning is its only hope, its only existence value, and it knows this very well.

"No."

Nightmare Dimension replied.

Lu Ning tilted his head, and asked tentatively again: "Really?"

"..."

The nightmare space fell silent again.

After being silent for a full minute, Nightmare Space said in a mechanical tone: "What do you think is a back door?"

"That's it."

Lu Ning touched his chin and thought for a while, then said: "For example, if someone is about to die, I threw a shuriken [-] miles away. Could it be that my shuriken caused the flow of air, which eventually led to his death? , let him die in my hands."

Nightmare Dimension: "..."

I've never seen such a contractor before, it's been a long time!It really wants to kick Lu Ning out of the nightmare space.

But reason eventually prevailed.

"At least it must be within a certain causal relationship, not as you said."

"Then what can you do?"

Nightmare Space was silent for a while, and said slowly: "I can provide you with all kinds of necessary information, and give you more permissions without violating the rules."

Hearing the words of Nightmare Space, Lu Ning blinked and said, "It sounds good, by the way, where will I go in the first world? Can I choose?"

"Target World: Naruto.

"Event: The Second Ninja World War."

Nightmare Space automatically ignored Lu Ning's second question.
