MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 7

According to what was agreed before, Gu Xiaoya designated Xu Tuoran as the challenger.

She still felt very ashamed, blushing and kept apologizing to Xu Tuoran. Of course Xu Tuoran didn't care, this was an opportunity she had won for herself to earn points. She bent down according to the requirements of the event card, and the strange black figure appeared before her eyes again after a short while.

It stood on the old wooden stairs, whether it was the blackness of its body or the coldness and oppressiveness it exuded, it was stronger than before. Xu Tuoran paid special attention to the steps it was on, and not surprisingly found that it was a little lower than before.

In other words, it's a little closer to the lobby.

Xu Tuoran stared at it expressionlessly, and made another **** like a routine check-in. After hearing the prompt sound in his mind, Fang stood up contentedly.

The second challenge was successful, and Xu Tuoran suddenly became extremely reliable in the eyes of others, and his status rose to the highest. Although everyone didn't express their opinions again, but judging from their performance, Xu Tuoran knew that the next few chances for him to score points were stable.

The only exception is Gu Chenfeng.

Not long after Gu Xiaoya drew the event cards, Gu Chenfeng also drew the same series of event cards. Unlike his sister, he finally decided to play in person to complete the challenge.

Anyway, it was also a chance to earn points, so Xu Tuoran still tried his best to fight for it. When Gu Chenfeng heard the words, he took a serious look at her, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made up his mind:

"I know it's more secure to have you come, but I can't accept your favor. I'm really not the person you're looking for, and you don't have to do this for me."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xu Furan's reaction, he directly put on a posture and bent down.

Xu Tuoran was left alone, blinking beside him with a dazed expression.

No, what do you mean? What does "not the one she's looking for" mean? This Bai Yueguang's name is written in the character design, can it be fake?

Xu Tuoran couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it. On the other side, Gu Chenfeng, who was struggling to maintain his posture, suddenly widened his eyes and trembled visibly.

Xu Turan knew that he had probably seen the black shadow at this time.

It has to be said that Gu Chenfeng's endurance is still acceptable. These ten seconds actually made him stiffen - but these few seconds were obviously too long for him. When someone reminded him that the mission was over, he almost froze, and when he finally regained his senses, he almost exploded on impulse.

"That, that—" He pointed in the direction of the stairs, both his fingers and his voice shook violently, "What you saw just now is also..."

"Hey!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Tuoran clapped his hands suddenly, "Calm down! Shut up!"

Only then did Gu Chenfeng fully wake up, and quickly shut his mouth tightly. After a few more seconds, Fang turned pale and thanked Xu Turan.

—After this incident, there are no more leaders in this group of students. Even Gu Chenfeng, who likes horror and supernatural themes the most, was frightened like this, let alone them.

In fact, Xu Tuoran is still cheaper. Swiping points is so satisfying.

She figured it out. That black shadow does have a dreadful oppressive force, but so what?

As long as it doesn't violate the rules, it can't launch an attack; on the other hand, as long as it can bear it, no matter what it does, the other party can only bear it.

For a face-to-face meeting, ten points are the death value; for a middle finger, three points are the death value. Xu Tuoran had the courage to try in the next challenge, and soon found out that saying "garbage" with her lips can also exchange three death points... But this operation is cumbersome, so she still chooses to put the middle finger.

The point is, this score seems to be dynamic—Xu Tuoran performed the challenge three times before, and every time he saw a black shadow, he could get ten points as a death point; by the fourth time, the score rose directly to twelve, and after the sixth , simply rose to fifteen...

She thought about it, and felt that there was only one possibility: this black shadow, it held vengeance.

During the time when he was brushing his death points, it is estimated that the other party's anger points were also brushed together.

But having said that, the **** was raised so many times, and only five points of death points have been accumulated. Isn't this Sombra's temper a little too good?

Bending down again, Xu Tuoran looked at the black shadow that was already close at hand, thoughtfully.

Every time she peeps, the position of the black shadow will move down a few steps. At this time, she has almost walked the whole flight of stairs, and there are still two steps left before she can enter the hall.

What if it really "walked" in?

Xu Tuoran was silent for a moment, resolutely gave up thinking, slowly straightened up, and walked towards the table again.

She was completing the challenge for Xiaomi just now. After Xiaomi passed, it was her turn again.

Xu Tuoran skillfully rolled dice to draw cards, and raised his eyebrows in surprise after seeing the densely packed text on the event cards.

"What is it?"

She can be regarded as the focus of the team now, and when she sees that her expression is wrong, someone immediately asks uneasy questions.

"Wait a minute, I haven't read it carefully yet." Xu Tuoran said, took the card to a place with more light, and read it word by word in front of the light.

"Event: Time and space overlap occurred in the homestay where you are, causing evil spirits from other realms to mix in with you. The only way to get rid of them is to take the elevator to the basement. But please note that evil spirits are likely to appear in In the process, I will attack you."

"Friendly reminder 1: Within ten minutes after the elevator appears, the actions of humans and evil spirits are restricted. Humans cannot attack others in the lobby. Evil spirits can only kill people in the basement. And only when the number of human beings in the room is less than or equal to the number of evil spirits When there are more ghosts, the evil ghosts will attack. After ten minutes, both parties can ignore all rules and kill freely."

"Friendly reminder 2: The elevator is limited to two people, and each person is only allowed to enter and exit once. Once you leave the elevator, you are not allowed to enter again."

"Friendly reminder 3: The elevator rules apply to both humans and evil spirits. If humans violate the rules, all restrictions will be invalidated, and evil spirits can directly start killing freely."

"Friendly reminder 4: When all the living people enter the basement and there are no evil spirits in the basement, the event will end automatically. Please take the elevator back to the lobby in time to continue the game."

"..."

After the words fell, the hall fell into silence again.

The Sports Commission was dizzy and only captured the two key words "elevator" and "ghost". He subconsciously muttered "Where is the elevator?", and unconsciously glanced to the side from the corner of his eye, his whole body froze immediately.

At the bottom of the stairs, where there should be a wall, there is a silver elevator door at some point.

As if aware of other people's gaze, the elevator door opened to both sides by itself.

The body committee's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the swaying figure in it, his muscles tensed instantly, and he instinctively pushed away Xiaomi and Gu Xiaoya who were next to him. When the elevator was fully opened, he realized that there was no one inside, but a large mirror.

The mirror was embedded inside the elevator, occupying the entire inner wall. Except for Xiaomi and Gu Xiaoya who were pushed away, the figures of the other five people were all reflected in the mirror, and at a glance, it seemed that there were a few more people out of thin air.

"...Oh my god." The sports committee stared at the big mirror for a long time, Fang turned his eyes away with relief, and rubbed his arms, "It's so good, what kind of mirror are you doing? At first glance, I thought there were many people in the room Well, scared to death."

"That's not true." The short-haired boy standing next to him nodded in agreement, with the same horror on his face, "Mirror or something, I'm afraid when I see it."

The sports committee thought so deeply, and hurriedly walked away from the elevator. The reflections in the mirror suddenly decreased by one—to eight.

"Then what should we do now? Shall we take this elevator down?" Xiaomi hesitated, "Then what kind of evil spirit is going on?"

"I don't know, it should be for us to judge for ourselves?" Another short-haired girl standing in front of the mirror responded, "'Evil ghosts are mixed in'... Could it be that among the eleven of us, there is someone who is not human?"

"Impossible." The school committee immediately said, "When I came here, I counted them all. I had originally booked ten people. Counting the temporary addition of Xu Turan, it happens to be eleven people."

"A temporary addition?" The girl next to her with a shofar braid slightly frowned, "No wonder, I didn't know she was coming...but isn't it a bit strange?"

As he said that, he gave Xu Tuoran a meaningful look, with unconcealable suspicion in his eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaoya stepped in front of Xu Tuoran, and her tone became tough: "Hey, you, what do you mean?"

"I didn't mention you, why are you in a hurry." The girl with shofar braids gave her a dissatisfied look, and explained in a low voice, "I just think that since those evil spirits are going to sneak in, they must be putting on a show. Maybe our memory has been affected It will be unrecognizable…”

As soon as these words came out, there was an indistinct chill on everyone's backs. Gu Xiaoya calmed down and thought about it, and found that indeed—there were eleven people present, and she had an impression of each of them. But looking at the used beverage cups on the coffee table, there are not so many.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoya's expression was loose, the shofar braid hurriedly added: "But a fake is a fake, and there must be something strange about false memories. If we can find out all these points, then we can find out the evil. Is it a ghost?"

"It's unreliable." As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the school committee say coldly, "Memory is inherently unreliable. Besides, whether it's strange or not depends on personal subjective judgment, let alone unreliable."

A little fat man in a jacket immediately came over: "Then we can vote! Screen out those who are suspicious first, and everyone judge together..."

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Gu Chenfeng couldn't help but said, "We don't even know how many people and how many wolves are there. What if the werewolves control tickets with rhythm?"

"Exactly!" The flat-haired man immediately chimed in, "I think we should think of other ways..."

"How about counting the chess pieces? Can't we use the one-to-one correspondence of the chess pieces on the board game board to eliminate them?"

"...No, I just tried it. The number of chess pieces is less than the number of people, and four are missing. But I can't remember who took what chess. I forgot everything."

"Then this is too scary. How can this be ruled out?"

"Or the advanced elevator..."

"No! It's too dangerous! I will never enter the elevator until I find out who the evil spirit is!"

"Then why don't you just let others go down first!"

"You speak as you speak, what are you doing cursing?"

"Stop arguing! Ten more minutes of arguing will be over! Don't fight any more!"

It was originally just a small doubt, but under the deliberate promotion of certain voices, it quickly expanded into a multi-party quarrel. Xu Tuoran walked aside, watched quietly for a while, and suddenly said "hmm".

The hall fell silent for an instant. The croissant looked over with displeasure on his face: "What are you doing? It's because of you that you quarreled. You look like nothing happened."

"Nothing is human." Xu Tuoran said, "Anyway, I'm not a ghost."

"Who said that? The strangest thing here is you!"

"You're wrong." Xu Tuoran calmly raised the card in his hand, "The one who is least likely to be a ghost here is me."

"..." The shofar braid paused, "What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. This is caused by the player drawing an event card—that is to say, the evil spirit appeared after the event card was triggered." Xu Tuoran said, "And this is the event card this time. If I It's an evil spirit, it won't be in my hands at all."

"..."

really.

Xu Tuoran didn't have a chance to get the event card just now, the card could only be with her from the beginning. In other words, it is impossible for Xu Tuoran to "appear" after the incident.

This is her golden water. Among all the people, she is the one with the highest status.

Even Cai Cai, who was questioning her shofar braid just now, has lost her voice.

After a while, Fang listened to Xiaomi hesitated, "Then... what should I do next?"

It was true that Xu Turan took the golden water, but she was not a prophet. Even if she is there, she can't help catch the evil spirits, can she?

"The rules say that all human beings should go down to the basement." The flat-headed man said calmly, "Then why don't you go down first? We will conduct further investigations above..."

"No." The school committee immediately retorted, "When the number of human beings is less than or equal to the evil spirits, the evil spirits can do things in the basement. If we make a mistake and let an evil spirit go down, then Xu will be in danger..."

"I'm going down."

Before the school committee could finish speaking, Xu Tuoran suddenly interrupted.

Facing the surprised and disapproving eyes of the school committee, she smiled reassuringly, and finished the second half of the sentence unhurriedly:

"But I have a request - I want to take another person into the elevator. And that person must be designated by me."

The author has something to say:

Heiying: You have a good temper, uncle, if I can't hit you, I will kick you to death!
