MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 121 【End of Dongshan Forest】

On the other side, in the camphor forest.

"Actually, I don't quite understand—"

Su Mai leaned against a camphor tree, raised his head and closed his eyes, and said in a moderate voice, "Fang Ke's quality seems to be called 'Death is coming', right? What does that mean?"

Feng Qiao was observing the surroundings not far away from him. Hearing this, he turned his head and showed surprise: "Hey, didn't you two work in the same unit before?"

"No, I belong to the Charity Institute. She is from the Charity Institute. I have never cooperated face-to-face." Su Mai said, eyes still closed, "Speaking of which, you are not from the Charity Institute?"

"No, I did it alone. I used to pull a small organization, and I don't know how it is now." Feng Qiao smiled bitterly, thought for a while, and said again, "I'm not very familiar with the other party's ability. But listen People have mentioned—you know the movie Death Comes?”

"Thriller? I've heard of it." Su Mai opened his eyes slightly, "People who are targeted by the **** of death will die no matter what, right?"

"Almost. And it's the death caused by a series of events with extremely low probability." Feng Qiaodao, "Fang Ke's ability has a similar effect."

Only then can "accidental" be foreseen. And according to one's own premonition, a large number of chances can be arranged together, leading to inevitable results. Not only that, but her ability also has a certain divination function...

"Divination?" Su Mai was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"Well, use the results to infer something." Feng Qiao tried to explain, "It's like someone throws a cup and judges good or bad by observing its pros and cons. Fang Ke's ability is similar to that."

For example, she can set up a simple question while setting up a series of occasional events. If the answer to the question is "yes", then the occasional event fires, if the answer is "no", the event does not fire. And she can learn the answer to this question through the trigger results of accidental events.

Su Mai: "..."

"It's amazing." He paused, then nodded seriously, "Do you think she will use this ability to judge whether Jiang Lin is good or bad?"

"It definitely will." Feng Qiao shrugged, "If it were me, I would try to judge for myself. After all, the current situation...is too sudden."

Just like not long ago, a bunch of black bears appeared and offered to return the brooch with the ability memory. Another example is that after the return, one of the black bears suddenly uttered a word, swearing that there is a monster in human skin in this domain, a monster that can affect the fate of all mankind...

The most outrageous thing is that Principal Shangguan, who was trapped here like them for several years, took the initiative to stand up and openly expressed his belief in that...that traitor's statement, and tried his best to convince everyone to help catch that so-called "monster".

"We don't need to hurt anyone. We just need to control her. Whether it is true or not, we can try to confirm it after we catch it." At that time, the principal Shangguan said, "If—I mean if, that girl is really Believe me, this will be a unique opportunity for us. Success or failure can even affect the future of everyone.”

Because of the urgency of the matter, Principal Shangguan did not explain it in detail. But because of her past prestige and sincere attitude, everyone finally chose to obey.

Although most of them still have doubts in their hearts.

…Speaking of which, Fang Ke said at the time, "I listen to you, but I will judge in my own way. If she is really a bad thing, I will not be soft." -Feng Qiao didn't understand what it was at that time Meaning, it can be regarded as a reaction now.

After that, things went smoothly. Principal Shangguan and Fang Ke each activated their predictive abilities, completed the information integration and rough plan as quickly as possible, and guided everyone in the direction they should go. Everyone set off, take their place, wait, and do what they should do. Some things, even though they have been separated for many years, are still familiar to the bone marrow.

Because the domain master himself couldn't remove the stupid mechanism of "one person must be teleported after getting close to each other", so they could only split up. The boundless camphor forest is like an ocean, once submerged, you will look around. Feng Qiao didn't know how other people felt when they were walking alone. He only knew that shortly after he took his seat, he saw Su Mai rushing quickly.

The same goes for other people.

Thinking of this, Feng Qiao couldn't help feeling a little relieved. On the other side, Su Mai closed his eyes again and leaned his head against the tree trunk.

With his eyelids closed, a map appeared in front of his eyes—a flat map in a cartoon style.

—[Quality: shortcut key M. Tendencies: Omniscience/War. Skills: Small Map/Precise Strike. 】

To put it simply, this ability can present the situation around Su Mai in the form of a game map. The higher the level of Omniscient Tendency, the more the scope of the map and the more content that can be presented; while the War Tendency endows Su Mai with the ability to directly attack opponents by manipulating the map. The higher the level, the stronger the strike force.

However, considering the side effects of the tendency to war, Su Mai basically did not promote this tendency. The current level is Quanzhihui level and War Light level, and this ability is generally more auxiliary.

At this moment, with him as the center, the map covers a full radius of 500 meters, and all objects with the ability to move are marked on the map in the form of small dots. He himself is a green dot, Feng Qiao as a companion is a blue dot, and all those who are not regarded as companions are marked as red dots—

And in his field of vision, an unfamiliar red dot was coming towards them at a considerable speed.

"She's coming." Su Mai suddenly opened his eyes and turned to look behind the tree. Ten meters away behind them, a vast white mist was rolling like waves.

"You can't let her come out." He looked at Feng Qiao and said seriously, "You can't let her see us either."

That girl most likely has confusion abilities. If you meet her face to face, things will become troublesome.

Feng Qiao nodded knowingly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, raised his head and let out a long whistle, followed by a cadenced reciting, using the ancient pronunciation:

"Sitting alone in the secluded grove, playing the piano and singing again. People in the deep forest don't know, but the bright moon comes to shine—""

—[Quality: Li Bai. Tendencies: The Long Night/War. Skills: Holding the moon/holding the sword. 】

Like Su Mai, Feng Qiao's two skills correspond to different tendencies under his quality. "Wearing the sword" is a combat skill, which can effectively enhance physical fitness and improve close combat capabilities. However, out of caution, he didn't upgrade it much.

And "hug the moon" is the long night skill. The effect is that when he recites the poem, he can influence the consciousness of the target, drag him into the artistic conception created by the poem, and temporarily forget himself. Long Night's level-related skill effect; in addition, the more similar the picture contained in the poem is to reality, the more devoted he is to chanting, the deeper the other party will be dragged into it.

Just like now.

With the end of Feng Qiao's chanting, Jiang Lin who was running in the forest suddenly stopped.

...something is wrong.

She suddenly realized this, and hurriedly raised her eyes to look around. As far as the eye can see, only the deep bamboo forest can be seen.

The sunlight above the head disappeared completely at some point, replaced by the cold moonlight. Looking around Qiqi, she was suddenly a little dazed.

who I am? where am i Where am I going?

Jiang Lin frowned in confusion, nothing but question marks in his mind. She instinctively felt that the plants surrounding her should not be bamboo, but she didn't know what it should be.

However, this state of confusion did not last long.

Because just when she was at a loss, she suddenly raised her eyes unconsciously and looked at the sky above her head.

There is a full moon in the night sky, clear and bright. Jiang Lin stared at the moon for a while, and several keywords suddenly came to mind:

full moon. confusion. upgrade…

Jiang Lin's expression paused, and a faint yellow light suddenly appeared in his eyes. At the same time, Feng Qiao, who was more than ten meters away, let out a low cry, and stretched out his hand to hold his chest.

Su Mai looked over suddenly: "What's wrong with you?"

"She remembered." Feng Qiao's tone was unbelievable, "It's so fast."

—When the trapped person notices objects related to himself, it is indeed possible to stimulate his own memory. And the stronger the individual's strength and will, the faster he will wake up.

But Feng Qiao never expected that Jiang Lin would think of him so quickly.

As Jiang Lin regained consciousness, he could feel that the artistic conception of his poetry was gradually fading. Su Mai quickly closed his eyes and looked at the small map again, and when he opened it again, his face was somewhat solemn.

"Stop her!" He said quickly, "She is accumulating strength, as if she is about to activate her ability!"

"Okay, then, then I..." Feng Qiao adjusted his thoughts, and said again, "The green mountains are faintly covered with water, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River is not withered in autumn. On a moonlit night at the twenty-fourth bridge, where can the jade man teach you how to play the flute?" !"

...?

On the other side, Jiang Lin, who was about to transfer, suddenly stopped.

The moon is faint and the water is faint. The Xiao sound is faint. Jiang Lin looked to the left and right in confusion, and a lot of question marks came to mind again.

who I am? where am i Where am I going?

These questions seem familiar and bewildering. Soon, she seemed to be attracted by something, and looked up into the sky again.

-moon.

full moon. confusion. upgrade. Dog Bijiang Pro...

She tilted her head slightly, and the yellow light appeared in her eyes again.

then-

"She's starting to gather strength again!"

On the other end, Su Mai opened his eyes helplessly, and looked at Feng Qiao again. The latter was holding his chest and panting heavily, his broad forehead dripping with cold sweat. Su Mai was a little worried: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Feng Qiao gasped and nodded, "The artistic conception will slow down the speed of her casting ability. You wait for me to think about it a little bit, and I have to pick a poem with completely different elements..."

"Can't it have something to do with the moon?" Su Mai recalled the two poems he had read just now, and quickly said, "Find someone without a moon."

It's easy for you to say, eight of the ten ancient Chinese poems have the moon... Feng Qiao sighed, and then quickly said: "Withered vines, old trees, dark crows, small bridges and flowing water, people. The ancient road is windy and thin, and the sun is setting..."

"?" Jiang Lin, who was standing on the small bridge more than ten meters away, blinked blankly.

who I am? where am i Where am I going?

She tilted her head in confusion, and her gaze fell under the small bridge.

running water. passing water. Efforts in vain...

Dogs are better than craftsmen.

Jiang Lin raised his brows and eyes sharply, with a sharp yellow light in his eyes—

Su Mai opened his eyes instantly.

"She's here again—" He looked at Feng Qiao who was squatting on the ground, hesitating to speak, "Are you okay?"

"...Yes." Feng Qiao gritted his teeth, "I can still fight—?"

There was a moment of bewilderment on his face. Su Mai frowned vigilantly: "What's wrong?"

"... Someone took the initiative to enter my artistic conception." Feng Qiao raised his head puzzled, "My ability seems to overlap with others."

"?" Su Mai was startled, and immediately closed his eyes. On the map in front of him, Feng Qiao's ability range was presented in the form of a hollow circle. And at this moment, above that hollow circle, there are two similar hollow circles, which are overlapping with it.

at the same time.

As if sensing something, Jiang Lin, who was trying to activate his ability, raised his eyes defensively.

However, on the small bridge that was originally empty, at some point, an annoying white mist floated up again.

The white mist that belonged to Lin Yun.

But Jiang Lin didn't know anything about the origin of the white mist, she only knew that this thing was the one that trapped her not long ago. She frowned irritably, bent down unwillingly, and wanted to activate the ability again, but her mind went blank for a moment.

The most critical memory was once again shattered by the fog. Jiang Lin cursed angrily, still stubbornly trying to find a way out of this double predicament—until she touched the old tree at the bridge head and noticed a piece of paper on it. note.

[...1. Any area covered by fog will be regarded as a campus...]

[2, [students] want to leave the campus without authorization, they must get permission from [teacher] or other responsible persons...]

...Damn it!

Jiang Lin's expression changed instantly.

This group of human beings, this group of despicable and shameless human beings—the trash who only know how to cuddle and stalk!

She was about to leave soon! Obviously almost! These scumbags are worse than abominations!

Jiang Lin's heart burst into anger for a moment, and under the anger was an uncontrollable humiliation. For so long, human beings have been the objects of her manipulation. She never thought that she would be controlled by ants for a day...

But soon, after a brief moment of anger, she quickly calmed down.

This group of human beings is besieging me—it has reached this point, and if she doesn't realize this, she will really be worse than Jiang Lin.

Why? Because you know who I am? Not many humans know of their existence. But the domain owner of this domain is hostile to the badge with the word "Lin", obviously aware of their existence. Has the domain owner recognized himself?

He recognized himself, so he returned the ability to the trapped ability users. Has there been some sort of agreement between them?

This group of ability users has acted so far, except for some flesh wounds when they acted in the fog, they have not caused any further damage. In other words, their purpose was just to trap her. What about after being trapped? Will the domain owner take over?

Jiang Lin's heart sank when he thought of those **** bears carrying the domain master's will. Immediately afterwards, she resolutely made a decision—

She closed her eyes, no longer thinking about the escape, but seriously recalling those wounds.

Jiang Lin once caused her the wounds that almost killed her.

Her body has the ability of eternal day. You can hypnotize yourself to temporarily forget the pain; you can also do the reverse and let her recall those.

And with her self-hypnosis and memories, the wound that had been healed was torn again. A large amount of blood gushed out, once again staining the clothes black. The heat and life of the body are also rapidly passing away—

She has to die.

Jiang Lin realized this very clearly. Besieged on all sides, and the domain master is watching, staying here is tantamount to asking for death. It was a pity, but she had to die.

The eyes began to darken, but Jiang Lin slightly raised the corners of his lips, and let himself fall to the ground.

But at this moment—she felt a branch.

A thin branch came through the mist and gently rested on her shoulder.

Warm vitality poured in like a floodgate, and the pale skin instantly returned to blood. Jiang Lin opened his eyes in disbelief, and saw that the surrounding fog had parted away, revealing Yang Buqi's indifferent face.

He looked down at Jiang Lin who was lying on the ground, and spoke slowly. In the steady tone, it is rare to bring a bit of murderousness and coldness:

"I said, I won't let you die."

Jiang Lin: ...

She stared at Yang Buqi in disbelief, and her anger swept up again. However, before she could say anything, Yang Buqi had pulled away from the branch and hid back. At the same time, the surrounding fog completely dissipated, revealing a circle of black bears around him—

Jiang Lin didn't know when they came here. All she knew was that she had to escape. But before she could make a move, those black bears were already walking towards her, where the eyes belonged, and they all lit up with a dazzling red light at the same time.

A red glow powerful enough to evoke the deepest fears of any existence.

at the same time.

There was a "poof". In the surging pool of blood, a huge solid object floated up.

It was a piece of blood-colored amber that was more than two meters high, and inside it was a deformed monster in the shape of a murloc. A pair of fish eyes were wide open, and the short limbs showed a fluttering posture, and the whole monster's state was frozen in the moment of struggle.

Xu Tuoran was already a little impatient for waiting, so he hurriedly stood up and waved to the big white bear wearing a pink apron next to him. Under the guidance of the other party, he pulled the joystick and salvaged the huge piece of blood-colored amber.

She wasn't sure if Jiang Lin, who was sealed in the amber, was still alive, and if there was a possibility of breaking through. He could only load it into the car as quickly as possible, pushed it all the way to the bug exhibition hall next to it, found a place that was pleasing to the eye, and worked together with the big white bear to put it down.

The matter of sealing Jianglin with blood amber came to her on a whim before she went to Jianglin. To put it simply, he neither wants him to die nor wants him to move. But for this method, even the Domain Master couldn't be sure whether it was 100% effective - after all, before this, he had never tried to put a live abomination directly into the pot.

Fortunately, he was obviously very tolerant of Xu Tuoran's whims. Even the responsible bear in the Bug Museum was very cooperative, resisting the urge to run away, and silently accompanied him.

In any case, it is always a good thing that Jianglin has successfully made a pot. Xu Turan thought for a while, and added a few runes near him. Fang Gongcheng retreated, left the Bug Museum, and rushed towards the big altar in the deepest part of the forest.

When she arrived, she only saw Yang Buqi sitting by the altar in a daze. A few **** bears turned around like guards, but the others were nowhere to be seen.

In the tunnel not far away, there were discussions. Xu Tuoran looked around curiously, and walked towards Yang Buqi: "What's the situation now?"

"Jiang Lin was successfully captured." Yang Buqi whispered, "The domain master took away her brooch again. She has forgotten everything now. Others have verified her identity and agreed to keep her locked up here .”

"Identity verification?" Xu Tuoran frowned, "How?"

"Pin her a brooch." Yang Buqi explained seriously, "They deliberately found some very negative labels and tried to put them on her."

For example, "I am not human", "I want to kill" and so on. If these brooches can be successfully activated, it means that Jiang Lin does have similar qualities. Don't mention anything about possession or not, at least the anti-social thing is real.

Yang Buqi said, paused, and exhaled softly: "I also gave them the 'I am a monster' brooch. Just now Su Mai told me that the brooch was on Jiang Lin and it took effect."

"It seems that she is quite self-aware." Xu Tuoran pursed her lips, and sat next to Yang Buqi, "What about now? What are they discussing?"

"The past. There are plans for the future." Yang Buqi let out a deep breath, "Principal Shangguan told them about the wireworm. They should have discussed what to do after discussing it. But I just heard their argument …their behavior towards domain owners still seems to be hard to accept."

No wonder. After all, the opponent did cause damage. Even some injuries are unnecessary.

Also because of this, Yang Buqi voluntarily withdrew from the conversation among them. He was not a witness to the injury, and there are some things that he can't talk about.

"I've been thinking that it would be great if he could have a chat with Principal Shangguan at that time." Yang Buqi lowered his eyes, "He didn't know that some tendencies were safe. Principal Shangguan knew, but he didn't have time to tell him. In a certain For a moment, they both chose to hide from each other..."

Xu Tuoran patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, turned his eyes slightly, and said again: "Actually, I was thinking, was he... sure he was rational?"

"?" Yang Buqi suddenly raised his eyes, "You mean..."

"He was in a hurry at that time, very in a hurry." Xu Tuoran said, "There are some things that he can clearly discuss in a long-term way...Why did he rush?"

"Is there a possibility that some of the ability users at that time were indeed replaced by bugs?

"If this is the case, then his actions are unintentionally telling the bugs, 'I found you'. But Jiang Lin and the others can possess him infinitely. They can completely change their bodies to retaliate against him..."

Xu Tuoran paused for a moment, glanced at Yang Buqi's lower limbs, and then slightly looked away.

"Think about it, what did Jiang Lin do when she noticed your actions?"

Yang Buqi: "..."

"She... she turned me into a monster." Yang Buqi rolled his eyes, and his tone gradually accelerated, "She wants to destroy other people's trust in me, and make me have nowhere to go..."

Xu Tuoran showed a "look" expression: "Suppose she was already awake at that time?"

Yang Buqi: "...!"

He straightened up suddenly, but was pushed back by Xu Tuoran: "Of course, I'm just guessing. And there are some things that he probably wrote."

At least he lost the memory of several Hui-level ability users and imprisoned them for five years. He couldn't get rid of this blame. As well as those low-level predictors who were the first to have accidents, as well as the entire sealed propensity for predicting, this is beyond Jiang Lin's control.

This pile of piles, except for the domain owner himself, probably no one can distinguish clearly. Regardless of the truth of the matter, the matter has already developed to this stage, and there is no possibility of turning around.

Of course, after those ability users finished discussing, Xu Tuoran felt that it was necessary to mention this matter.

"..." Yang Buqi paused, closed his eyes, sighed, and sank down again. Xu Tuoran touched his arm: "Speaking of which, I've always wanted to ask you. Why did you come here?"

Yang Buqi raised his hands and rubbed his face, paused for a few seconds before saying, "I... I saw the message he left in the corridor of foresight."

"The Corridor of Prediction?" Xu Tuoran raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah. When I was hiding outside, I sometimes dreamed of the Corridor of Prediction. I walked along the corridor and found the message he left behind a door." Yang Buqi nodded.

The information is very messy, but a clear location is mentioned. Yang Buqi didn't know where he should go at the time. After getting the information, he thought that he might be able to get the truth from five years ago, so he tried every means to come here.

"That is to say, you can still enter the Corridor of Prediction now. And he... at least he could enter before." Xu Tuoran nodded thoughtfully, "This is a good thing."

"Perhaps." Yang Buqi nodded. It is undeniable that he still has the ability to predict, and he can also enter the corridor of prediction, which really gave him a lot of confidence.

Otherwise, he might really find some deep mountain and old forest, hide in it and take root.

There's just one thing he doesn't quite understand. For some reason, after he turned into this ghostly appearance, the probability of the foresight corridor appearing was higher than when he was a human. Especially when he had the symptoms of coughing flowers before, during the few days when he had the most severe cough, the corridors of predictions almost appeared in his dreams...

Thinking of coughing flowers, Yang Buqi felt a little uncomfortable again. His eyes wandered for a moment, and he suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

He could only put this question aside for the time being, and instead took out a piece of mud wrapped in a cloth and handed it to Xu Tuoran—this piece of mud was something he had recovered from other people before, and it happened to be returned to her now.

Xu Tuoran almost forgot about this matter, hurriedly thanked him, opened his backpack, and planned to take out the silver box used to hold it. However, the moment she opened the backpack, she suddenly remembered something:

"Well, where's the flower?"

She looked up suddenly: "It's not in my bag, is it where you are?"

Yang Buqi: "?"

"Should...should?" He said uncertainly, touched the top of his head, and then touched his pocket, "No, it's not with me either."

Xu Tuoran: "..."

"No, you must have carried it before. I saw it before I entered the tunnel, right on your head... ah."

Xu vainly remembered.

At that time, in the depths of the tunnel, it seemed to have seen it fall from Yang Buqi's head.

Xu Tuoran's face suddenly changed. Yang Buqi didn't care too much: "Forget it, let's put it there first. It's not a big deal anyway..."

Before he finished speaking, he noticed Xu Tuoran's questioning eyes. He silently swallowed the second half of the sentence.

Two seconds later, he stood up resignedly: "I'll go find it."

After finishing speaking, stepping on the small flower pot, he ran away patter.

Seeing his figure disappearing into the tunnel, Xu Tuoran closed his eyes helplessly, and suddenly noticed a huge black figure—it was a black bear, standing quietly by the side, watching for some time.

"..." Xu Tuoran rarely felt a little uncomfortable, and smiled awkwardly, "Well, what do you have..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the **** bear suddenly raised its paw, put it in front of its lips, and made a gesture similar to silence.

Xu Tuoran: "...?"

In the next second, a stiff voice sounded again:

"Do not say."

"Please, don't say anything."
