MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 2

There were screams, falling to the ground, and then a commotion. But for a moment, there was a mess around the table.

I saw the originally elegant squad leader lying on the ground, twitching uncontrollably, with his hands on his neck, sweating profusely, his face was terribly red, and he kicked the table with his feet incessantly. Gu Chenfeng and another boy were trying to break his hand, but they still couldn't do it.

"God! What's the matter?" Gu Xiaoya turned around and stepped forward with a look of astonishment. Gu Chen didn't raise his head, and was still trying to break the squad leader's hand: "I don't know, he suddenly started pinching himself! Don't be dazed, call now!"

"I can't get out!" Xiaomi said anxiously, "It's really...why did the phone crash at this time..."

"I can't find my phone! Where's Xiaoya?"

When Gu Xiaoya heard this, she hurriedly took out her mobile phone, and just after waking up, she saw a "low battery" screen pop up on the screen—then it shut down automatically.

She was so anxious that she pressed the power button repeatedly, and suddenly realized: "Wait a minute, there is Xu Tuoran..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a figure passing by her side. Gu Xiaoya turned her head in surprise and met Xu Turan's thoughtful profile.

"I'm sorry, I'll give up all the trouble. I have learned first aid." She lied without changing her face, and leaned over.

Perhaps it was because her tone was too confident, and she was really bluffing the monitor's sports committee, subconsciously wanting to let go, but was stopped by Gu Chenfeng.

"First aid? You?" He looked at Xu Tuoran distrustfully, "You...oh wait, don't come here yet!"

The squad leader looked at Wen Ruo, but his strength was terribly strong at the moment, neither of them could hold it down. Gu Chenfeng was afraid that other people would be hurt if they approached, so he planned to knock him out first. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xu vainly striding over.

In his hand was a fruit knife that he didn't know where to get it.

Gu Chenfeng was dumbfounded on the spot.

Good guy—he just wants to immobilize the squad leader temporarily, this lunatic wants him to be immobilized forever!

So the scene became more chaotic. Here Gu Chenfeng and the sports committee are still pressing people desperately, while the girls are nervously surrounding Xu Turan, not knowing whether they should stop him or not. Some ran to the corridor, shouting loudly to the owner of the homestay who didn’t know where to go—

In the chaos, Xu Tuoran squatted in front of the squad leader and raised the fruit knife in his hand high.

"You're nervous—" Gu Chenfeng hurried to stop him, but Xu Tuoran nimbly dodged it, and stabbed it with a fruit knife.

A few more screams rang out, and someone covered their eyes in fear.

After waiting for a while, nothing more terrifying was heard. When he opened his eyes, he realized that Xu Tuoran's knife hadn't hit anyone at all.

She stabbed next to the squad leader's head, leaving a clear dent in the wooden floor.

The squad leader, who was pinching him desperately, woke up like a dream, his tense muscles gradually relaxed, and his hands on his neck loosened.

"..." Gu Chenfeng and the sports committee looked at each other, let go at the same time, and exhaled.

"Niu, Niu X." He gasped and looked at Xu Tuoran, "How did you do it?"

"Scaring therapy. It is very effective in dealing with some emergencies." Xu Tuoran was talking nonsense solemnly, and stood up with a knife in his hand. Only then did Gu Chenfeng notice that there was a tail ring on her right little finger, silver and shiny.

The squad leader who was lying on the ground was helped up, his face still in shock. He opened his mouth as if about to say something, his eyes flicked across the table, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately closed his mouth.

Xu Tueran followed his gaze and saw an open event card. She walked over, picked it up, and saw that it was a clock pattern, and the hands were pointing to twelve o'clock.

"This is the card that the squad leader just drew." The girl named Xiaomi walked up to her and whispered. Perhaps because of Xu Tuoran's "first aid" just now, their attitude towards her is much more gentle now. When the girl spoke, she was a little embarrassed, and quietly apologized to Xu Tueran.

Xu Tueran responded, remembering the light he had noticed before, rolled his eyes, and picked up a small flashlight from the table: "Did he read the event card before the accident?"

Xiaomi nodded.

Event card, every time someone walks to a specific grid, one must be drawn, and then complete the above challenge requirements. If you can't complete it, you will be "eliminated".

The cards are all specially made, and the text on them can only be seen through the small flashlight that comes with the box. Xu Tuoran found the small flashlight and pointed it at the card. Small and clear words appeared on the card that originally only had patterns.

[Event: You have accepted the test of courage challenge from the owner of the homestay. Now stand with your legs apart, bend over and look back from between your legs. And during the viewing process, no sound, no movement, no eyes closed. After holding on for five seconds, the challenge is considered complete. 】

[Friendly reminder: The prying eyes will definitely attract the prying eyes of others. If the challenger sees something strange, please do not share it with other players, offenders will bear the consequences. 】

... no wonder.

Xu Tuoran's eyebrows moved slightly.

She checked with Xiaomi again, and sure enough, the scream just now came from the squad leader when he was performing the challenge on the card.

He was bending over to look back at that time. Because of the angle, others couldn't see his face. They only knew that he suddenly yelled in horror and fell forward. Then he pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor, said something vaguely, and then began to pinch himself desperately with his hands.

"It's like being possessed by an evil spirit." Xiaomi recalled the situation at that time, still feeling very scary.

Xu Tuoran said in his heart, be more confident and remove the "as if".

As a book walker, she is more sensitive in some aspects than others, and can "see" more—

Where does the monitor want to pinch himself? Xu Tueran could see clearly that there was clearly a black shadow behind him at that time. It was the shadow that kept controlling his hands, pinching his throat desperately.

The squad leader probably revealed what he saw unconsciously at the time, and was "punished" as a result.

That's why she stabbed the floor with a knife just now—what she stabbed was actually the head of that black shadow. Black Shadow was stabbed and fled, and the squad leader was saved.

Thinking of this, Xu Tuoran couldn't help reaching out to touch the tail ring on his little finger.

This is not an ordinary ring, but an item from the blind box given by the system. Possesses the characteristic that allows the wearer to attack all existence. If it wasn't for this ring, Xu Tuoran really wasn't sure that he would be able to save him.

Fortunately, this kind of behavior of hunting people on the spot does not seem to be within the behavior restrictions of the book walker, which made Xu Tuoran somewhat relieved. After all, she is only here to die, not to collect corpses. If it is really like the original plot, let everyone die, God knows how many troubles will follow.

Xu Tuoran's eyes turned slightly, and seeing that Xiaomi behind her had already started tidying up the messed-up desktop, she thought she was going to put away the board game, so she put back the cards and small flashlight in her hand.

Then he asked the seventh person who was supposed to attend the party. But Xiaomi showed confusion: "Who else wants to come? I don't know. We were the only ones who were supposed to come."

Xu Turan was added later.

After listening to Xu Tuoran, he was thoughtful, excused himself to relax, went upstairs alone, and wandered around the hotel—on the one hand, he was looking for the "seventh person" who was not there, and on the other hand, he was avoiding more people. Questions about saving lives. After all, she doesn't understand medicine, if she asks more deeply, it's hard to guarantee that she won't reveal her secrets.

The second and third floors of the homestay are all bedrooms. There are two rooms on the first floor, plus the first floor, a total of six bedrooms. The rooms were not locked, so Xu Tuoran turned around one by one, seeing no one, and then turned back to the lobby on the first floor.

Just as I went downstairs, I heard the sound of dice rolling. Xu Tuoran took a look and was a little surprised: "Why are you playing this again?"

I saw a large color map spread out on the table, it was the board game box from before, and someone was holding a flashlight to illuminate the event card, the light was dazzling.

Because of the previous incident, this group of people has become less alienated and indifferent to her. Several girls actively greeted her and brought her snacks and drinks, but no one answered her questions. Xu Turan felt that something was wrong, and asked again, only to see that Gu Xiaoya's face was a bit dazed.

"Just... Now that we have started playing, we must play until the end." She said it as a matter of course, as if she didn't feel that her logic was wrong at all, "And now I have nothing to do... By the way, do you want to drink Coke? "

Xu Tuoran: "...Forget it, no need, thank you."

The squad leader, like Xu Tuoran, has also lost the qualification for the game because he did not complete the "event card". He is sitting alone in the corner playing with his mobile phone. Xu Turan thought for a while, walked over, and sat beside him: "Are you okay?"

The squad leader looked up at her, smiled awkwardly, and put away the phone: "I haven't thanked you just now, for saving me."

"It's okay, just go." Xu Tuoran took out an unopened pack of Skittles from the snack shelf next to him, "How did you explain to them just now?"

"...Sheep epilepsy is crazy." The squad leader looked delicate, "Because...you can't say it."

He took a deep look at Xu Tuoran and said, "What about you? Did you also see... that?"

Xu Tuoran stretched out **** and pulled on his lips. The squad leader was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized that his face, which had just recovered, was pale again.

— It’s fine if Xu Tuoran doesn’t answer this question. Once he answers, it means that he is revealing what he saw again, and the punishment just now, I am afraid that he will have to do it again.

The squad leader looked at Xu Turan gratefully with fear on his face, Xu Turan smiled and said, "I used to be able to see some unclean things."

This sentence can be regarded as an answer to the squad leader's doubts. There is no room for him not to believe the facts. He pushed his glasses, looked around nervously, and lowered his voice:

"Then do you feel that something is wrong here?"

Xu Tuoran said "Oh", and asked knowingly, "How do you say it?"

"The overall atmosphere is weird and depressing." The squad leader said, "And don't you think it's getting colder and colder? It's June now."

Indeed, it was supposed to be a time when the temperature was very high, but at some point, the room was filled with an uncomfortable chill.

"Also, the mobile phone. In such an urgent situation before, everyone's mobile phone had problems, either they couldn't find it, or it was dead. My mobile phone was placed on that table, and no one saw it— But just now, when things slowed down, all the problems disappeared, and the mobile phone can be used. This is the strangest thing."

Xu Tuoran: "..."

No, the strangest thing is that you were almost sent away, and your classmates were still in the mood to play board games, and you thought it was all right.

Knowing that the hearse he was so painstakingly riding on was already on its way, Xu Tuoran subtly swallowed the candy in his mouth, and twirled the tail ring on his little finger.

"Speaking of which, who brought this box of board games?"

"I don't know, it was there when I came. The homestay brought it..." the monitor said uncertainly.

This seems to make sense. Xu Turan pursed his lips and sat up.

"Get ready." Due to the limitations of the book-wearer, she couldn't remind too clearly, "I have a hunch that this matter will never end. Maybe something will happen later..."

It was like echoing her words—twice. The next moment, another scream came from the side of the table.
