MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 148
Under Su Sui'er's rather delicate gaze, Xu Tuoran floated out of the room first, and after recovering his hands and feet, he went back to retrieve his belongings, his movements were neat and his expression was calm, as if The person who somehow didn't lose half of his head was not the same as her.
She even had the mood to complain to the system in her mind: "Why are the death points given so little this time? Only one hundred points..."
system:"…"
"He's just an abominable monster at the low level, and he's still in a state where the core trap has been cracked. What else can you not be satisfied with if you can get one hundred points?" The system said quietly, "If you really want to brush, you can just Just repeat what you just did here a few more times."
Xu Tuoran stopped and actually thought for a while. However, she looked at Yang Buqi who had just walked out of the small dark room behind her, and shook her head after thinking about it.
"Forget it. He looks like he's about to catch fire." Xu Tuoran sought truth from facts, "I'll do it again a few times, I'm afraid he'll suffer from heat stroke."
You know, that guy is still wearing down pants.
"Besides, the future will last forever." Xu Tuoran said finally.
"..." The system was silent for another moment, and finally only said with difficulty, "Just as long as you are happy." On the other end, Yang Buqi, who was walking slowly behind Xu Tuoran, unconsciously touched his regrowth lips, and suddenly remembered something, and his face burned again.
The police of phishing law enforcement and the "small black room" as punishment are basically the only means of attack in this defense circle. After deciphering this point, Xu Tuoran found the real "pure love" at the end of the corridor without spending any more effort.
The shape of that thing is like a living, still beating animal heart. It is locked in a small room with five square meters, surrounded by beams of light, and a very responsible rune circle is drawn below it.
Obviously, it can still perceive the external situation, because at the moment when Xu Tuoran and the others pushed the door open, it visibly trembled, and after Xu Tuoran poked his head out from behind, it sprayed a thin stream of air into the air angrily. blood fountain.
"I repeat, you can't go in." Su Sui'er kindly reminded, "If you touch the rune, the alarm will also be triggered."
Xu Tuoran didn't intend to go in at all - after passing through the small black room before, the item of "falling into the life and death crisis caused by pure love" has been judged to be completed. She just came over to check in at the end.
However, what she told Su Sui'er was that there were customers in the Taobao store who needed relevant information, so she took out her mobile phone solemnly, and with the help of runes, she took a few consecutive photos of the abominable thing being held. After taking a picture, I habitually open the photo album, but I accidentally swipe forward, and I directly swipe to a certain moving picture that has been stored in my phone for a long time—
In the picture, Yang Buqi, with a small flower pot on his feet, is kicking and rushing towards the wall, looking miserable and clumsy. Xu Tuoran paused his fingers, stared at the moving picture involuntarily for a while, then slowly drifted his gaze to Yang Buqi who was next to him, met his questioning gaze, and smiled slightly.
"It's nothing." She shook her head and put her phone away, "I think you are more pleasing to the eye."
Yang Buqi, whose ears were still red: "...?"
After solving the problem of "pure love", Xu Tuoran didn't stay any longer, and soon withdrew from the office building together with everyone.
It is somewhat difficult to slip away from under the guard's nose again. After all, there are a large number of them, and one of them, Yang Buqi, who has no means of infiltration and enters the dungeon by airborne.
In the end, Principal Shangguan made a rule that "students must leave the classroom after the school bell rings", and Xu Tuoran used a singing pen to play the bell, and they were able to leave. On the concrete floor, you have to turn over the windows together.
Therefore, after leaving that desolate suburb, the first thing Xu Tuoran did was to add a pair of shoes for Yang Buqi, and change his down pants by the way.
After taking care of Yang Buqi, he still has to think about how to explain his existence and the matter of his legs to the other two parties. Principal Shangguan is okay, she doesn't even know the existence of the "disabled body and strong mind", and she cares more about the part of drifting in time and space. As for Su Sui'er...
She accepted it well. Just looking at her expression, Xu Tuoran always felt that she seemed to have made up some weird part again.
But forget it, that's not the point.
Compared to this, Xu Tuoran cared more about a piece of information that Su Sui'er revealed before leaving.
"Oh, by the way, Xiao Xu, do you still remember the Plum Blossom Apartment?" She said to Xu Tuoran, "We finally found the abomination behind that incident."
As soon as she said this, not only Xu Tuoran, but even Yang Buqi raised their heads.
"Found it?" He whispered, "You mean you haven't caught it yet?"
"No need to catch it." Su Sui'er sighed, "When we saw it, it was already 'dead'."
die…?
Xu Turan frowned slightly, glanced at the piano case holding the stone spear beside him, and asked strangely, "How did you die?"
"Still researching. It looks like it was exhausted. The whole body has become a thin piece." Su Sui'er lowered her voice, "And, there is one more thing, very strange."
"After discovering its 'corpse', the Renxinyuan immediately sent a special person to try to measure and extract the remaining abilities on it. But after testing, it was found that it had one less tendency than we thought before."
"..." As if realizing something, Xu Tuoran's eyes changed slightly, "Beast?"
Su Sui'er looked at her solemnly, and nodded slightly.
Shangguan Qi's expression became serious because of this, but Yang Buqi frowned in confusion, unable to keep up with the progress for a while.
Seeing his confusion, Xu Tuoran patted his hand casually, said "Go back and talk to you", then turned his gaze to Su Sui'er again, "What does Renxin Yuan say now?"
"They suspect that there is a problem with the measurement method, and they are still trying to correct it." Su Sui'er shrugged, "After all, I have basically never encountered a 'dead' abomination before. That kind of corpse measurement method is only for those with abilities. .They think the method is not suitable."
"In addition to this, there is another part that is studying the cause of death of that abomination. They think it will be of great benefit to mankind."
...I don't think so.
Xu Tuoran lowered his eyes slightly and pursed his lips.
Dead abominations, she had seen. And only saw two.
One was directly killed by the stone spear. The other is thanks to Jiang Lin - he once possessed a brilliant chaotic abomination to make trouble for himself. The body parts left behind accompanied him all the way from the camphor forest to Jiangjiayu, which was better than a fox ornament.
As for the reason why the chaotic abomination died, Xu Tuoran couldn't say. I can only vaguely feel that it is more like an internal disintegration. A breakdown from the inside out.
Now, the corpse of another abomination appeared. Xu Tuoran also deliberately asked a few more questions, no trauma.
Also missing a Beast ability, it's hard not to think too much about it.
In particular, the omniscient iron nematode can control others through parasitism. Assuming that the iron nematode can really solve the abomination by possessing itself, then it only needs to control another person to be responsible for the extraction, which is not impossible in theory.
The system in my head came to a similar conclusion. Not long ago, the mood that was relaxed because of Yang Buqi's return and the progress of the ceremony suddenly became tense again. This emotion lasted until Xu Tuoran returned to the residence—almost the moment she stepped into the house, heavy rain poured down outside the door.
Yang Buqi was startled by the movement outside the door, and quickly turned his attention to Xu Tuoran again: "Are you okay? Ever since Su Sui'er mentioned the corpse of that abominable creature, your expression seems to be Not quite right."
"You guessed it right, I'm not good." Xu Tuoran said without any concealment, and walked upstairs, "Come here first, we'll talk about it when we go upstairs."
"..." Yang Buqi didn't understand, so he walked up, and when he approached Xu Tuoran's door, he noticed a set of runes that he hadn't seen before.
"This restrains the omniscient." Noticing his gaze, Xu Tuoran took the initiative to say, "I'll give you a remedial lesson later. This is very important and must be mastered."
...remedial lessons?
Yang Buqi was quite surprised to hear this from Xu Tueran. As she walked into the room, she couldn't help being startled the moment she saw the display in front of her.
"This is... domain?" He looked at the smooth ice surface under his feet, a few surprises flashed in his eyes, and he looked around with interest. Xu Tuoran responded, and put the things in his hands on the ground casually. Xiao Fenhua immediately opened the zipper and got out. After stretching quite comfortably, she waved the little leaf and rushed towards the corner of the room. past.
Yang Buqi followed its trajectory and saw a huge climbing frame more than two meters high standing in the corner. On many grids of the climbing frame, there are also beautiful small vases or soft cushions.
"..." Yang Buqi's expression became subtle, "What is that? A plant climbing frame?"
"Yeah. It's for Xiao Hua to play with. Anyway, you can make everything in the domain by yourself." Xu Tuoran said, yawned, and took off the wig that he had been wearing all day, and threw it on the ground in disgust.
Yang Buqi was placing the backpack and piano box on the ground, seeing her throwing them around again, he shook his head amusedly, turned his head and was about to say something, when his eyes fell on Xu Tueran's raised thin ears, with an expression on his face. Can't help but change.
"Why, this expression. It doesn't look very strange." Xu Turan moved his head and ears slightly, "Don't think too much, it's just a side effect of taking too much of your first-aid medicine. I can't help it myself. Take it off, and just keep it like this..."
"That is to say." Yang Buqi rarely interrupted her, and said slowly, "During the time I was away, you have experienced at least one crisis that required you to take a lot of medicine to survive."
Xu Tuoran: "..."
"Almost." She scratched her cheek, "But I didn't lose that time... Oh yes, I mentioned this. I happen to have a lot of things I want to tell you."
"...I have it too." Yang Buqi was silent for a moment, then sighed, "But before that, you have to take care of your ears. You can't wear a wig all the time in summer."
He took a deep look at Xu Tuoran, then turned to the door: "Well, I'll make the potion first. You should also take advantage of this time to take a good rest."
He held the doorknob with one hand, turned his head to look at Xu Tuoran, and sighed again: "You seem to be very tired. Take a rest for a while, and I will call you when I am better."
Xu Turan couldn't help but yawned again, and nodded upon hearing this. Yang Buqi seemed to smile, turned around and opened the door to go out, but the moment he closed the door, his smile suddenly subsided.
Leaning his back against the door, he touched his lips again, then turned his head and looked into the room through the door panel, stared at it for a few seconds, finally suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and walked downstairs quickly.
——And when he returned to the room again, Xu Tuoran had already fallen asleep.
The seat in the middle of the ice was missing, replaced by a large bed with a hollow pattern. The bed was as white as a pile of snow, sitting quietly on the calm ice, it looked a bit strange, but it was inexplicably harmonious.
Yang Buqi unconsciously raised the corner of his lower lip, found a place to put down the potion in his hand, but he was not in a hurry to wake Xu Tuoran—even when he noticed Xu Tuoran's arm hanging out of the bed, he leaned gently Passed it over, intending to stuff it back.
However, the moment he touched Xu Tuoran's wrist, Yang Buqi frowned suddenly.
…strangeness.
He thought silently, and tentatively pushed aside her long hair that covered half of her face, revealing a smooth face.
Is he wrong? Or is this domain's own mechanism...
At the moment of contact just now, he clearly noticed that Xu Tuoran's whole body suddenly became somewhat transparent.
At the same time, on the other side.
Suddenly there was a vague touch on his face. Xu Turan, who was in the belief box, subconsciously touched his face, looked into the air, and quickly looked away.
"What's the matter?" Someone asked by others, Xu Tuoran shook his head slightly: "It's okay. Compared with this, let's hurry up and discuss."
As Xu Tuoran said, he straightened his body unconsciously, and glanced to the left and right - only to see that what she was at right now was a huge church. This church was originally a creation of gods, but as Xu Tuoran's influence on the world inside the box continued to deepen, the interior furnishings of the church also quietly changed in repeated cycles. The original worm statue was replaced by a geometric figure with tentacles of unknown meaning Instead, Xu Tuoran didn't really understand how the residents here thought of this thing.
Of course, that's not the point.
The door of the church was closed tightly, and the automatic sensor lights installed on the dome lit up a gentle light. Xu Tuoran was standing on the mission platform, and below her was a row of people sitting neatly.
Four girls who were also wearing black dresses and looked stunning to her.
"Then, I announce, 'Xu Tueran upgrades to the sprint project team', the third regular meeting of this month begins now." Xu Tueran calmly knocked on the table in front of him, "As usual, everyone should report their progress first. It starts with the natural disaster Xu Furan."
"Okay." The girl in the black skirt sitting on the far right nodded, and began to repeat in a slightly mechanical voice, "As of last night, all the hoarded walking steps have been consumed in the natural disaster cemetery. At present The progress has been advanced to the second half of the Chen-level area, and it is estimated that it will take another 4000 to 5000 steps to pass through the Chen-level area. If possible, I hope to withdraw the remaining steps from the faith box..."
"5,000 steps?" Before she finished speaking, another girl in a black dress sitting on the far left couldn't help but say, "5,000 steps are equivalent to 10,000 faith points. If you mention leaving, I will be doing it for nothing for a few nights." .”
Hearing the words, the natural disaster black dress was startled, and subconsciously asked: "But the faith points you got are supposed to be exchanged for walking steps, aren't they?"
"Even if you want to change, you don't have to give priority to natural disasters, right?" Another girl in a black skirt who was sitting between the two tentatively said, "The progress of the chaotic tendency is slower than that of natural disasters, but the supply of resources It should be a higher priority."
"But the natural disaster is easier to get to the stars." The natural disaster retorted solemnly in vain, although the tone was still dry, but the speed of speech was already a little faster, "We also got a natural disaster key. This will definitely be helpful for leveling up Yes. Relatively speaking, for the same investment, the return on natural disasters must be higher and more secure."
"But the chaotic tendency needs to be upgraded, doesn't it?" The black skirt girl sitting in the middle retorted word by word, "Didn't you receive the message during the day? The high-level abomination with the beast tendency was killed, combined with us Judging from the previous inferences, it is very likely that it is Jiang Linxia's hand. He is attacking the beast tendency. If this is the case, then we must rise to the highest point of chaos before him..."
"Even if he starts rushing now, it's impossible for him to rush to the stars in just a few days." The natural disaster Xu Tuoran interrupted her directly, "And these few days, as long as the supply of walking steps is guaranteed. I'm completely sure Raise the natural disaster to a star..."
"Chaos is okay too. Chaos needs at most twice as many steps as natural disasters."
"Twice as many steps means 10,000 steps and 20,000 faith points. What's the difference between you and emptying your family?"
"Where is the difference between digging in half and digging out completely? We lack the advantage in the chaotic tendency, and investment is necessary. And the belief box is not always turning..."
"...Sorry, please stop." The girl in black skirt sitting on the far left couldn't sit still when she heard this, and said again with a straight face, "When you are discussing how to allocate belief points, can you ask Ask me the acting person in charge of the Faith Box? I said in the last meeting that my situation is different from yours. It takes a lot of energy to clear tasks in the box, I can’t keep spinning, I need to rest..."
"Isn't there a free stamina card?" Natural Calamity frowned in vain, "I remember that the death value system gave a lot..."
"A total of 48 hours has been given, and it has been so long, it has been used up long ago." Faith Box said unhappily in vain, "At least until I get the next physical strength free card, my output will be halved .It’s not that you have no feet, can’t you just walk forward when you have time?”
"There is resistance to chaotic actions, how can it be that simple. It is more realistic for you to let the natural disaster side support itself."
"But the natural disaster operation needs to solve puzzles. Solving a group is only one step, and if you solve it wrong, you will be thrown out directly. Isn't it more troublesome than yours?"
"In short, the points I can provide now are only 8,000 points. There is no more. The internal construction of the belief box also needs points, and I must keep a part of the principal in my hand..."
"What do you mean, is the priority of internal construction more important than the upgrade sprint?"
"?? Only when the points are built can the income be higher! Can you have some business sense!"
"Eight thousand points, four thousand steps, if you give them all to me, you can take a look..."
"Why, I also need it here. At least share it equally—"
"..."
If anyone else is here, they must have noticed that as the gunpowder of the conversation continued to escalate, the faces of these girls began to have strange ups and downs. The face was originally made of pure black mist, and there were even tiny tentacles poking out when speaking, waving towards others in dissatisfaction, or making a rude gesture.
Xu Tuoran couldn't see this kind of scene in his eyes. She has her own filter for all the girls in black dresses, even if the other party's face is already full of anger, all she can see is the exquisiteness that is automatically linked to the praiseworthy words "beautiful" and "cute". face.
But this doesn't mean that she can't see the tension of the people below.
Xu Tueran pursed his lips, and sighed silently—although he had expected it, but when something really happened, he still had a headache.
But there is no way. When she divided herself, in order to ensure that all "selves" had enough ability to cope with their share of work, she set up a "work priority" thinking mode for everyone. But she didn't expect at that time that the conflict caused by work resources would be so big, and she had quarreled several times...
Yes, split.
Xu Turan split himself, on the day he confirmed the necessity of the upgrade with the system.
The way of splitting is through a series of runes of the long night tendency-this is what she learned from old man Jiang when she was still staying in Jiang Siyu's domain. Jiang Siyu's long night tendency belonged to him, and long before he fused himself with his son to suppress the omniscient iron nematode, he already had the idea of gradually purifying his consciousness by slicing it, so he started this research. It's a pity that it was shelved before it could be fully completed.
This set of runes can not only split the personality, but also the number of splits and the specific configuration of the separated sub-body are all within the controllable range of the main body. However, this set of runes is still immature, and there is a considerable loophole, that is, the "personality" split by the runes, including the body, can only have one person staying awake at a time. The rest can only fall into a deep sleep.
However, this point is quite necessary for Xu Tuoran.
She split herself in order to be able to upgrade simultaneously. Whether it is entering the upgrade space or the belief box, it can only be done in a dream. The loophole that old man Jiang didn't have time to fix back then was just right for her.
But she still overlooked one point—first of all, just because they can only sleep deeply does not mean that the split bodies do not have independent and clear consciousness. It's just that their consciousness can only be active in dreams.
Secondly, she feels that she has a good temper, but this does not mean that these splinters have a good temper. In fact, because they are the products of being split, their emotional management ability seems to need to be improved.
And when these independent consciousnesses with poor emotional management ability are pulled together, and the work between each other has obvious conflicts...
Xu Tuoran just wanted to rejoice that besides "work priority", he also added a setting of "no cannibalism".
"Okay!" Seeing that several people were fighting more and more fiercely, Xu Tuoran finally spoke out, and knocked on the table in front of him with his hand while speaking—the voice of speaking and knocking was not too loud, and the splits were very obedient , instantly quieted down.
"I have already understood the general situation. In this way, each batch of faith points will be allocated at a ratio of three to one, and the chaotic tendency will be given priority." Xu Tuoran made a final decision, "I will add another one to the faith box. helper…"
Xu Tuoran wanted to say that he should do it by himself, but when he turned his gaze, his eyes fell on the position next to the box.
...It was only then that she noticed that one of the four people in front of her was paddling the whole way without saying a word from the beginning to the end.
"Order is in vain." After a moment of silence, Xu Turan changed the subject, "Do you have anything to say about your recent work?"
"..." The girl in the black skirt who was called was slightly startled, and silently lowered her head.
Xu Tuoran: "...I still haven't been able to enter the Palace of Order smoothly recently, have I?"
"It's rare to log in just now." Order pulled the corner of his skirt in vain, and whispered, "But before I was on my way, I was dragged here for a meeting."
Xu Tuoran: "..."
She probably understood what the other party meant—since she knew the origin of the whole world in a box from the system, she also guessed that she could enter the Palace of Order before, either by logging in 100% or by not giving up. It is still difficult for her to enter at any time.
It just so happens that this split rune will automatically take effect when Xu Tueran returns to the domain. In other words, as soon as she returned to the domain, all the splinters would automatically fall into place and start working in sleep. But this time, there was Yang Buqi in the domain, and Order, who had been idle all this time, was in vain, so he had the opportunity to enter the Palace of Order again.
Xu Tuoran silently calculated the work saturation of Order in vain, and said decisively: "In this way, you will not be responsible for the Palace of Order in the future. You are transferred to the Belief Box team, and there are two people on shifts. I will deal with Order's business in the future. Run yourself."
"That's it, the meeting is over."
As Xu Tuoran said, he knocked on the table again, and his consciousness suddenly pulled away—
The next moment, under Yang Buqi's slightly worried gaze, she slowly opened her eyes.
