MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 136

— to die.

The word came to Xu Tuoran's mind almost instantly. Before she had time to think about it, she opened her mouth immediately, and just halfway through saying "No one should look at the cat with eyes", she felt a burst of difficulty breathing. Coupled with the strong nausea caused by seeing so many cats, Xu Tuoran almost threw up on the spot.

Realizing that this rule is difficult to implement, Xu Tuoran had to give up. From the corner of her eye, she caught sight of the yellow eyeballs cracked one by one on some cats, and she felt even worse. She raised her hand to release the No. 7 ice, and said hastily—

"Don't look at those cat eyes..."

The second half of the sentence stuck in his throat. She paused, suddenly a little dazed.

What was she going to say just now?

I can't think of anything, my mind goes blank. Consciousness is like a broken computer, and the screen goes black instantly. I don't know how long this state lasted, until a burst of pain came from his cheek, and Xu Turan woke up suddenly.

"Are you awake—are you awake?" Pu Han's voice rang in his ears, as if he was afraid that she would not hear him, "If you wake up, set up your defenses—I won't last long!"

Xu Tuoran: ...?

!

Consciousness completely returned, and she was fully awake. Quickly scanning around, Xu Tuoran was surprised to find that his position had been moved at some point, and he was standing with the four trainees at the moment.

In other words, he was surrounded by a group of yellow-eyed cat monsters.

Before she could study it carefully, Xu Tuoran immediately started to build an ice wall to surround everyone at the same time. At the same time, she delineated the country again and issued a death order of "no entry and exit". The outer edge of the wall, in this way, can at least prevent wild cats from jumping directly on the wall and scratching the wall, and these ice walls can also stand a little longer.

There were indistinct and sharp meows coming from outside the ice wall, one after another, Xu Turan pretended not to hear them. Looking at those few trainees again, their eyes were wide open, and their faces were full of bewilderment and shock. Xu Tuoran thought they were frightened by his own ice wall, so he snapped his fingers a few times to bring him back to his senses, but he saw the child named U12 tilt his head, and said in a puzzled way:

"Just now... those cats, why did they suddenly disappear?

disappear?

Xu vainly froze for a moment.

What disappears? She was sure the cats hadn't moved before and after she was charged...

As soon as she thought about it, she suddenly realized that she looked at Pu Han, who was sitting on the ground with a pale face panting, met her gaze, and smiled weakly.

"I temporarily modified their perception of those cats just now so that they can't see those eyes." Pu Han said, "Fortunately, this method will work."

His shielding cognition is only useful for non-omniscient tendencies, or lower than his omniscient level. Knowing that the iron nematodes here are also omniscient, he was worried that this trick would not work. Fortunately, the situation is not that bad.

Of course, if he just shielded those few trainees from knowing about cats, he wouldn't be so tired.

Xu Tuoran recalled the situation just now, and had a deeper guess in his heart: "You just blocked the cognition of those cats?"

Pu Han panted and nodded: "There's nothing I can do without the screen."

Those cats reproduced the confusing active effect, which can actively exert control on the enemy for 1.5 seconds. It can only be targeted at one person at a time - listening to the description alone, it doesn't seem to be very fatal.

The problem is, there is more than one cat in this house.

Xu Turan himself has done such immoral things as serial control. Not to mention that there are so many cats here, each of them is given 1.5 seconds, and they can be rounded up and controlled for a long time.

Just like Cai Cai, Xu Tuoran fell into a blank for at least five or six seconds. If he didn't try to get rid of the control, he couldn't fight this round at all. Pu Han had no other choice but to take the risk of attacking the cat, shielding all the cats from their knowledge of Xu Tuoran.

It was also thanks to Xu Tuoran who attracted all the hatred as soon as he came up, and all the control skills were thrown at her. Pu Han has not been targeted for the time being, so he has a chance to catch a loophole and come back.

"But those cats are too many...the ability is not weak." Pu Han exhaled wearily, "I'm not sure how long the effects of my skills will last."

In other words, we still need to find another way.

…really.

Xu Tuoran pursed his lips slightly, and also realized that going on like this is not an option.

Listening to what Jiang Siyu conveyed, they wanted to get out of this assessment scene, so they could only complete the task according to the process. The greatest help she can provide is to directly give customs clearance strategies. According to the strategy, they must go to different rooms, put together the complete diary fragments, find out the corresponding song, and dance along with it...

Let alone dancing or anything. The key is to find something. This means that they cannot stay here.

These cats have been copied to her No. 7 ice, bewildering - so far only copied to the active effect of it. In addition, it is also copied to Pu Han's time travel. This means that what surrounds the outside now is a group of ghosts who can use ice, control, and revive each other. These **** things can also scratch people, climb walls, and act cute...

Oh no. Considering their yellow eyes, Meng probably won't be able to sell. But these yellow eyeballs are also a problem, they have to try to avoid...

Thinking of this, Xu Turan suddenly remembered something, turned his head suddenly, and looked at the other trainees—because of the various changes that happened in front of them, their expressions were not very good, but generally speaking, they were still calm.

Xu Tuoran glanced over them one by one, and frowned slightly.

"Just to be on the safe side, I want to double check. Have any of you looked into the yellow eyes of a cat before?"

"..." Several trainees looked at each other and shook their heads.

Xu Tuoran frowned even tighter.

Just now, Pu Han's cognitive shielding was placed very timely, and several trainees really didn't have time to look at Maoyan. But further back, they once faced a white cat together and fought for a long time. It can't be that none of them have been recruited, right?

Seemingly aware of the suspicion in Xu Tuoran's eyes, several trainees raised their hands to testify - U12's testimony is the most reliable. When everyone found that something was wrong with the cat, as the only child present, he was covered by U59 next to him before he could react. Eye. However, U59 and U31, because of the angle, saw the eyes from the side, and did not look directly at each other.

From this point of view, the only ones who really saw that eye were Pu Han and U40 who had suppressed that cat. Xu Turan couldn't help looking at the latter vigilantly, but raised his hand solemnly not wanting U40: "To be honest, I really didn't see it. My sight was blocked."

In his words, he only had time to glimpse an outline. Before he could take a closer look, a lot of words suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, just blocking his line of sight, covering most of the yellow eyes.

"Word?" Xu Tuoran raised his eyebrows.

"Bullet chat." Pu Han added, "A lot of dense barrage. I also saw some at the time."

It was those bullet screens that prevented U40 from seeing the yellow cat's eye for the first time. After that, out of fear, U40 immediately looked away, and directly restrained the cat with his hands so that the eyes on its stomach were always facing the ground, so no one was attacked later.

It's really a barrage body...

Xu Turan was amazed. Just at this time, the barrage from Jiang Siyu appeared in the air again, Xu Tuoran directly asked about what happened just now, and got an affirmative answer.

[If the angle is right, we can continue to help cover it with barrage. 】The text in the air appears line by line,【But the time of the barrage is limited, and the position cannot be adjusted freely. 】

In other words, help is available, but not 100% helpful.

Xu Tuoran also knew in his heart that this kind of protection relying on a large number of text stacks may not be safe. And those iron cats can delay their transfer time completely by implementing serial control. In this way, the barrage can play a smaller role.

Still have to think of another way...

Xu Tueran closed his eyes, suddenly seemed to think of something, opened his eyes suddenly, then immediately opened his backpack, and started to **** inside.

Pu Han flicked his bangs and looked over curiously: "What are you looking for?"

"Pen...ah, thank you." Looking at the little pink flower that he got out of his backpack, Xu Tuan paused, thanked him and took the marker pen held in both hands, rolled up his sleeves on both sides, and began to look for someone to write on. space.

On one of her arms was already drawn a rune meant to curb hallucinations. As soon as it was exposed at this moment, the visual effect was almost the same as that of a half-armed arm - the others obviously misunderstood something, and the way they looked at Xu Turan changed instantly, as if they were looking at the elder sister of the secret sect.

Xu Tuoran didn't care, picked a place, drew another set of runes with a marker, and immediately turned to look at Pu Han after drawing.

"Read me," she said, "can you see any changes?"

"Changes? What changes..." Pu Han paused in the middle of speaking.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly lifted up half of the waterfall's bangs, stared at Xu Tuoran with wide eyes, opened his mouth slightly, and after a while he said in surprise:

"I can't see anything...how did you do that?"

He slid down a set of runes newly drawn by Xu Tuoran: "Is it related to these?"

"Yeah." Xu Tuoran nodded, and also looked down, "This is taught to me by the principal Shangguan of Dahuaihua..."

She learned this rune from the corridor of prescience, and it is said that it can restrain omniscience. As for the method of restraint, she did not elaborate. Why did she tell Xu Tuoran, she herself didn't know.

Because I had a hunch, I taught it. This is what she said at the time. Now it seems that this may be the time when these runes can come in handy.

Xu Tuoran looked at this group of runes, his brain spinning rapidly. The barrage in the air also responded, and they all asked her to show more runes, obviously also full of interest in this thing.

So far, it seems that this rune can prevent direct reading of omniscience. As for whether it can block other effects, this Xu Tuan is not sure, but if it is effective, it will undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to them-then the protection of trainees can be directly carried out through these runes. The stress will be greatly reduced.

As for the other skills of the cats and monsters, they can be restricted and prevented by "absolute kingship"... But before that, there are still some things to be determined.

"Mr. Jiang?" She tried to ask the barrage, "Before you said, 'After the first time of eye contact, it can master the skills that the ability user has used before'. Does that mean that the subsequent eye contact, just Doesn't it work anymore?"

The barrage quickly gave an answer, and it seemed that he no longer cared about the existence of other trainees: [Before the copied skill expires, it cannot obtain other skills from the same person. 】

In other words, the forked skills have a time limit. And before the statute of limitations expires, there is no need to worry about other abilities being stolen.

This realization made Xu Tuoran somewhat relieved. Pu Han raised his bangs, and then asked again: "How long is the replica skill valid?"

This Jiang Siyu couldn't be sure. Instead, a barrage of another color suddenly floated out: [The full version can be held for up to seven days. Within seven days, it can choose to discard it on its own. Once discarded, the ability can be re-copied from the same person. As for the current situation, I'm not sure. But the duration and power are definitely weaker than the full version. 】

Different from the round-headed and round-brained pink bullet screen that I saw before, this bullet screen is dark green, and the font is more square and tough. Xu Tuoran suspected that this might be Jiang Siyu's father or grandfather.

The barrage quickly added that although the ability user won't be able to reproduce the ability again within the time limit, but looking at "it", it is still inevitable that it will take the opportunity to spy on the consciousness. "It" can even take advantage of this opportunity to cause a considerable mental blow to people. Therefore, those yellow eyeballs should be avoided as much as possible.

Xu Turan nodded knowingly, and couldn't help but glance at the trainees again. Because they couldn't keep up with their conversation with the barrage, those people had been silent for a long time.

It is different from Xu Tuoran. Once these trainees look at the yellow eyes, it is not just as simple as being spied on. Although Jiang Siyu did not say it clearly, Xu Tuan can guess that those yellow eyes will definitely have a negative impact on these trainees. It can force Jiang Siyu to give up the existence of these people directly.

I don't know if this group of runes alone is useful... Perhaps, it can be combined with other methods?

Xu Tuoran was thinking secretly, suddenly seemed to think of something, his eyes suddenly lit up.

She suddenly remembered - Principal Shangguan was not the only one who demonstrated the unique runes to her.

at the same time.

Outside the assessment site, in the living area of ​​the trainees.

Pu Han No. 3 searched against the crowd all the way, and when he finally found Pu Han No. 2, he saw the other party coming out of an empty corridor, dragging a strange thing in his hand—

That thing is as tall as a person, and colorful. Pu Han No. 3 observed it for a while before recognizing that it was a person wrapped in cloth.

To be precise, it was wrapped in a bed curtain, and the whole person was wrapped like a caterpillar. A rope was tied to the middle of the caterpillar, binding his arms and body together. Pu Han No. 3 was pulling the whole rope, dragging him out halfway and halfway.

"...Hey!" Pu Han No. 2 rushed up to meet him, "What's the situation? This is in your hand..."

"Dangerous person." The short-haired woman said firmly, and handed the rope to the tall man, "Don't loosen it, don't let him escape... Where are the staff? Where are the staff?"

She looked around, just in time to see Ernan passing by in a hurry, and hurriedly waved at her: "Hey! Here! I report with my real name, there are dangerous people here—"

Ernan was in a state of desperation at the moment, and his footsteps were in a hurry, until he heard the second half of the short-haired girl's words, Fang stopped, paused for a second, and floated over directly: "What's going on?"

"This guy, he has yellow eyes! I suspect he was infected by a cat!" The short-haired girl patted the tightly wrapped trainee vigorously, her expression became serious, "And the same source of infection, this building There is another one, it is best to quickly find him and control him. Do you have monitoring?"

There is another source of infection, which she inferred based on the trainee's words. The cat he saw had no eyes at first, but it was only after being pointed out by another person that he thought that "cats have eyes", and he even had eyes that belonged to cats on his body—

According to her experience as Pu Han, this should be a kind of cognitive pollution. And it's a pollution that only works on trainees. To put it a bit more dogmatically, there is a high probability that only those trainees with darker bodies are likely to be infected.

This may also explain why she didn't feel anything other than a momentary headache when she saw the eye at the mouth of U30's throat. Out of caution, the short-haired girl asked Pu Han No. 3 to "read" her again on the spot. After confirming that the color inside her body hadn't changed, Fang looked at Er Nan in front of her again.

Ernan's face was serious, he hesitated for a moment, looked back at the crowd that was commotion because of the darkness, and gritted his teeth.

"Xiaoyou—" she stopped a companion who was in a hurry, "help me turn on the radio. I can't leave for the time being. You two, follow me."

She nodded to the two Pu Han, took them and the packed U30, and hurried back to her own office. As soon as the door opened, the two Pu Han breathed together and stagnated—

I saw a large group of crooked workers crowded inside, either lacking noses and eyes, or lacking arms and legs. The room was packed to the brim, and those who had no place to sit simply sat on the floor.

"They all hid in urgently." Noticing the surprised gazes of the two, Ernan took the initiative to explain, "It got dark too suddenly. Their appearance will only cause greater anxiety."

The camouflage of the staff only exists during the day. As soon as it gets dark, what kind of ghost should it be or what kind of ghost should it be? Let the staff who show their true faces maintain order.

But it was getting dark so fast. Many staff who were maintaining order were unprepared. In order to avoid shock, they could only hide in a nearby office, such as Ernan's side.

This also caused a lot of pressure on other personnel. It was the time when manpower was most needed, but now that so many people were forced to leave the stage, the next work could only rely on Ernan, a relatively plain-faced, strangely inconspicuous existence. The workload is directly doubled.

Because of this, Ernan never let go of his frown. After entering the office, she immediately took out a folded blanket from the cabinet and handed it to the short-haired girl: "Please, let that guy stand on it."

The short-haired girl unfolded the blanket and saw a rune inside that she had never seen before. She quickly spread it on the ground, pushed and pushed with Pu Han No. 3, and forced the trainee wrapped in the bed curtain to the center of the rune. The trainee, who was still struggling with Gu Yong, immediately stopped, stood still, and did not move anymore.

Seeing this, the two Pu Han breathed a sigh of relief. As for the remaining source of infection, there is no clue yet. Ernan couldn't check the monitoring here. Fortunately, there were many staff members present, and everyone immediately brainstormed to help recall—one of them suddenly let out an "ah" and tried to report a number. As soon as the words were finished, there were sizzle sounds both inside and outside the room.

The sound sounded like a microphone was being adjusted. After it rang for a while, a misty girl came out from the radio:

"Attention all trainees, an urgent announcement is broadcasting now."

"The temporary assessment has already started. All trainees, please return to your dormitory immediately, or enter any room closest to you. Close the doors and windows, and draw the curtains. No matter what noise you hear, please do not open it."

"Next, some songs will be played in turn on the radio. Please sing or dance to the music according to your practice during this time. Your performance will be captured by a mysterious camera and will be used as a bonus item for future assessments. Please be serious treat."

After finishing speaking, there was another burst of music on the radio, pouring out like running water—it was the strange music that the short-haired girl had heard outside the lounge before.

As the music sounded, the movement outside the door seemed to be much lighter. The short-haired girl poked her head to look curiously, and saw that the trainees who had been very restless suddenly became calmer, and were returning to their rooms one by one according to the arrangement of the staff, and some even hummed songs while moving.

Look at the glass wall again. There are still birds and wild cats staring at the outside of the wall. In the hazy night, the outlines of large shadows can be vaguely seen. In the shadows, there are also a large number of flickering yellow lights, flickering like lights.

On the wall that was originally empty, a large number of runes appeared out of thin air, connected to each other, spreading out in a long way, like a city wall, firmly guarding in front of everyone.

As the music played, the rune light on the glass wall became stronger and stronger. The short-haired girl was amazed, she looked away, still feeling a bit incredible.

"Designated track? So it was used for this? Why didn't I get my turn before."

Er Nanxin said that you have only participated in one single-person assessment, and you have appointed someone; while walking to another cabinet and starting to search, he took out a notebook and threw it to the short-haired girl.

"Specified track list." She said lightly, "with lyrics. Hurry up and practice hard."

She doesn't really feel the difference between Pu Han and other trainees. Therefore, at this time, she instinctively felt that the two trainees had to perform well in singing and dancing according to the instructions of the broadcast.

The performance of designated repertoire is very important for trainees. Especially in this crisis situation. Although Ernan couldn't figure out the reason, he was inexplicably convinced of this.

The short-haired girl took the notebook in a daze, flipped through a few pages, and found that they were all unfamiliar names and lyrics. She turned a few pages back without giving up, and suddenly said "ah".

"Finally there is a song I will meet!" She said happily, "Stars light up—"

"This one won't work!" Ernan said immediately as he was about to go out, "This song and the ones after it cannot be performed."

"?" The short-haired girl was even more confused, "Why?"

"This part of the song can only be used in the audition. It is a bonus song." Ernan said seriously, "but in this dangerous situation, it must not be used. Will...will..."

The brain froze for a moment. She paused for a while, and finally said a reason that she didn't even understand, "It is said that it will attract hatred."

Girl with short hair: "...???"

She exchanged glances with Pu Han No. 3 next to her, looked again at the book in her hand, and turned a few pages back by the way.

I saw that these tracks that Ernan called "additional points but hate" are:

"Stars Light Up"

"twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

"Star Boys Go to the End of the World"

"the brightest star in the night sky"

…

Two Pu Han:?

No, is this **** with Xing Xing or something?
