MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 1
In the afternoon at the end of June, the sun was shining and the room was bright.
Inside the homestay, several young people aged 17 or 18 were playing board games together. There was a one-meter-long game map on the table, which was filled with colorful chess pieces, and someone was shaking the dice vigorously.
"It's 7! You have to move forward 7 squares... Come here, draw an event card!"
The noise of the boys and girls filled the room, making Xu Tuoran who was sitting in the corner seem out of place.
She sat quietly in the corner alone, holding a bag of Skittles in her hand, chewing carelessly. The beautiful face is completely empty, as if completely cut off from the surrounding noise.
After Gu Xiaoya finished her turn, she turned her head to look at Xu Tuoran, frowned, and pinched the boy next to her.
"What do you think you did!" She lowered her voice and said to the boy, "Who told you to call her here?"
The boy was making people drink prickly pear juice, and he clicked his tongue: "Didn't you let me find a chance to chat with her?"
"I asked you to chat in private, and then I apologize after talking—who told you to drag her to the party!" Gu Xiaoya complained, "Just pull her over, but she still refuses to play with her. Gu Chenfeng, Don't think I didn't see it, just now you guys teamed up to trick her out on purpose! I pretended not to hear you when I stopped her!"
"It's obvious that she's unlucky." The boy snorted, "Besides, what's there to apologize for? I'm the one who was harassed, not her!"
Xu Tuoran was their classmate in junior high school, and they had only been in the same class for two years, and they were transferred to other places in the third year of junior high school. Until the end of the college entrance examination a while ago, she had no contact with them.
However, a week ago, she appeared at Gu Chenfeng's senior year's break-up dinner in his class, and confessed to Gu Chenfeng in public, using shocking words, stalking and stalking after being rejected, and swore that she had already dated with Gu Chenfeng online for three years In 2010, the scene was very unsightly.
"An An got annoyed and left on the spot! The people around were still making noises." Gu Chenfeng muttered unhappily. An An was the girl he had a crush on, and he stopped talking to him from that day on.
"I have been laughed at by my classmates because of this, and you just want me to apologize."
Gu Xiaoya is his twin sister, only one minute older than him, but she is very airy. Gu Chenfeng was forced to do nothing, and he really didn't want to have any more private contact with Xu Turan, so he took the opportunity of a junior high school reunion and called her over.
Their school is integrated, many of them studied together in middle school and high school, and they have a good personal relationship with Gu Chenfeng, so they take his side as a matter of course, and naturally they are a little ostracized towards Xu Turan.
United's assassination in the board game is only one part of it, and the deliberate neglect and neglect are reflected in almost all aspects. Even though Gu Xiaoya has been trying her best to be considerate, it is still difficult to offset their undisguised sense of rejection towards Xu Tuoran.
"If she was sensible, she should have left just now. I told you that she is abnormal..." Gu Chenfeng muttered, but was pinched again by Gu Xiaoya. She looked at Xu Tuoran in the distance worriedly, and lowered her voice: "I didn't say that you must apologize, but the misunderstanding must be made clear. How many times have I said it, and I have something to say, don't just vent your emotions... stupid you."
She sighed: "I'm going to talk to her now, and when the time is ripe, you can come here again! Have some grace, do you hear..."
…do not.
Please, please don't.
On the other side, listening to the whispering between the siblings, Xu Furan thought blankly.
It wasn't that she eavesdropped on purpose, but that she was born with better hearing. Especially when someone mentioned his name, the voice seemed to be sent by the wind.
The reason why she didn't want Gu Xiaoya to come to her was also very simple, not only because she didn't want to talk, but also because she didn't know what they were talking about.
After all, she had only been in this world for three days.
— To be precise, it was only three days since she traveled to this world.
The current "Xu Tuoran" is a time traveler.
And what she is in at the moment is the world constructed by the novel "Strange Hundred Days Talk".
Unusual plot. She originally lived in another world with the same name and gender as Xu Tuoran in the book, but died in an accident, and when she woke up again, she had already transmigrated into this novel that she had never heard of, replacing her original body.
Regarding the memory of his own death, Xu Tuoran doesn't have many memories. The only thing she remembers is a sense of falling. A very long, burning sensation of falling. Then with a snap, she woke up like a nightmare, and she came here.
As for the original body, according to the system, she had already stopped breathing the night she transmitted it. She suffered a heart attack while living alone, but did not receive timely treatment.
Well, that's right, the system—Xu Tuoran originally had a system.
The reason why it is called "originally" is because in the first hour after she wore the book, the system screamed, saying that it was going back to the factory for maintenance, and ran away without looking back.
The return date is uncertain, and it is expected to be quite long.
It doesn't matter if you run away, the key is that there is not much effective information left. Xu Tuoran didn't even understand the content of the novel. The cheap system only told her that this was a thriller romance novel, while Yuan Bo was positioned as a cannon fodder for a supporting role.
This is also the only mission requirement given to her by the system.
—Continue the spirit, work hard to die, and let yourself blend into the atmosphere of the story as much as possible.
As for what to do after "integration", the system didn't say. It swears that this is just a phased task, and when it comes back, it will give Xu Tuoran new instructions. Before that, she just needs to be serious about dying.
"You know what it means to die, right?" It confirmed with Xu Tuoran before leaving.
In his previous life, Xu Tuoran was a lone star with no money, no love, and no family. He only had a heart that didn't know how to write the word "death". She seriously recalled her rich experience of dying, and confidently said to it that there was no problem.
So the system went there with peace of mind, and before leaving, it stuffed her with a blind box of props, some novel-related materials, and a death value calculation software
The computing software is directly bound to Xu Tuoran's consciousness. With the accumulation of death points, different levels of functional rewards can be activated. The system solemnly promises that if Xu Tuoran fills up the value in the software before it returns, it will give Xu Tuoran an additional wish at that time.
"Then what if it can't be finished?" Xu Tuoran asked seriously.
"Then you will really die." The system also replied seriously, "According to the regulations, I can only 'strip' you."
Stripping doesn't sound like a good word.
Xu Tuoran doesn't care about life or death, but it's always good to have one more wish.
Besides, it's all here, at least live one more time, if you don't find some excitement, it's so boring.
Xu Tuoran had a correct attitude, and immediately after the system left, he thought about accumulating death points in a spirit of contract. She failed to inherit the memory of the original owner, so she had to spend some time to obtain information and adapt to her identity. When she finally had time to study the novel materials given by the system, she finally discovered a very bad thing——
In the information given to her by the system, there was no original text of the novel.
It contains only the detailed biographies of the male and female protagonists, part of the characters of the supporting characters, part of the worldview settings, a "Rules for Newcomers to Wearing Books", and a set of crash materials called "Crossing Books, From Beginner to Rich Family"...
Xu vainly fell into silence.
If I remember correctly, the original body is currently a lonely family with an inheritance, and there are many zeros in the balance of the bank card. She didn't quite understand what the system wanted to insert the last book in.
Fortunately, she found part of the plot design in the original owner's character record. In the original plot, the female supporting role, as a wealthy daughter who frees herself, will be tempted by the male protagonist's similar face to her own, Bai Yueguang, and will become hostile to the female protagonist, and then desperately fight between the two, for the sake of men and women. The love of the Lord is full of twists and turns.
...But Xu Tuoran watched it for a long time, but he didn't see where there was room for her to die in this plot.
It may also be that she has read too few novels of this kind and doesn't know much about their writing.
In desperation, she had no choice but to play on her own, and in just three days, she tried things like "heating a raw egg in a microwave oven" and "poking a socket with a metal fork" and so on. value, not at all
Xu Tuoran could only change his mind. She remembered that the system had said that she should "integrate into the atmosphere of the story", so she wondered if her death must conform to the original characteristics of the story?
The question is, what is the character of this story?
The system said it was a thrilling romance.
Xu Tuoran resolutely ignored the word "romance", and began to think hard about "horror".
Then she finally realized it. She should go to A Piao Pengci.
Here comes the question again, where did A Piao come from?
Xu Tuoran studied the only materials over and over again, and realized again.
Why does the original owner like the male protagonist? Because the hero is like her white moonlight. Why didn't she go to Bai Yueguang? Because Bai Yueguang died.
Bai Yueguang's name was "Gu Chenfeng", and he died at a class reunion.
Seven high school graduates went to a suburban homestay to play, and all were found dead the next day, and their death conditions were horrific.
This description sounds supernatural.
Xu Tuoran thought of rubbing the hearse on the spot.
And in the plot of the original body, it is also mentioned that the original owner actually received the party invitation from Gu Chenfeng, but he didn't go. Xu Tuoran hurriedly checked his original phone, and he found the party invitation sent by Gu Chenfeng. After a day, he quickly replied, saying that he changed his mind and was willing to go.
That Bai Yueguang seemed reluctant, but still honestly sent the address and time of the meeting—a mountain homestay with inconvenient transportation, it sounded full of death.
Xu Tuoran also thought about whether to warn Gu Chenfeng and others not to die. However, whenever I want to send a message, something goes wrong with my phone. Only after she read the "Rules for Newcomers" did she realize that this was a restriction set by the system—as a book transmigrator, her actions were somewhat restricted.
The rules were there, so Xu Tuoran had no choice but to give up. The mind of rubbing the car is still firm.
Facts have proved that her judgment is not wrong. As soon as she came to the party today, her death value increased by five points, which made her feel elated.
The rewards don't stop there.
She arrived a little late, and the men were already playing board games when she arrived. The original body obviously didn't have a good relationship with these people, only the girl named Gu Xiaoya actively dragged her to the table.
Xu Tuoran wanted to decline, but after noticing the name of the board game, he silently changed his mind. She chose the pieces cooperatively, and before the first round was finished, a ding sounded in her head.
Xu Tuoran heard it right away. That was the sound of another sum of death value being credited.
The name of the board game is very interesting, it is called "B&B Horror".
Just by joining in, Xu Tuoran has three death points, which shows that it is not easy.
She was blessed to the heart, didn't play a few games, was eliminated on purpose, and had three death points.
In a short period of time, the death value at six o'clock was recorded, and the happiness came a bit suddenly.
As the only person eliminated from the field so far, Xu Tuoran quietly walked to the side holding the six death points and a bag of Skittles that he had just obtained.
The wind and rain are coming, but the years are quiet. While there was still time, she did not forget to observe the surrounding situation again.
The B&B they rented had three floors, and they booked the place. At this moment, everyone gathered in the lobby on the first floor, and the door of the B&B was across the corridor behind them.
She already knew Gu Xiaoya and Gu Chenfeng's sister and brother, and Gu Chenfeng was the "white moonlight"; diagonally across from him was a girl with dyed brown hair, called "Xiaomi", who was wearing a girlfriend outfit with Gu Xiaoya.
In addition, the "Sports Committee" is the tallest one, the "School Committee" is a little girl wearing glasses, and the other boy is wearing glasses, everyone calls him "Squad Leader".
Good guy. This is the formation of a class committee.
It was strange to say—at this moment, including her, there were seven people in the room. In the original plot, "Xu Tuoran" would not attend this party.
However, the number of corpses discovered afterwards was still seven.
what happened? Anyone else not here?
Xu Turan's eyes moved slightly, and he caught a glimpse of Gu Xiaoya walking towards him from the corner of his eye, and immediately stopped thinking, thinking about how to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, before Gu Xiaoya came to her, the accident happened suddenly.
There seemed to be dark clouds passing by outside the window, and the room was dark for a moment, only a little light came from the direction of the table—
A few seconds later, beside the table, there was a scream and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
