MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 100 【Catch insects】
Same night, another location.
Jiang Lin was awakened by the pain on the back of his hand, opened his eyes, and faced a big eyeball on the back of his hand.
Her first reaction was that that idiot Jiang Lin came again, but in a haze, she faintly felt that something was wrong—this eyeball seemed to be bigger than Jiang Lin's...
Almost at the same time, she heard a long-lost voice:
"Do you know where that idiot Jiang Lin is?"
Coming: "..."
Very good, confirmed, it is indeed not that idiot.
Jiang Lin finally came to his senses and recognized the other party: "Chaos?"
"Call me Jiang Lin." The newcomer responded angrily, "I need a reasonable explanation for the ice wall in the Path of Chaos."
...so you're stuck outside after all.
Jiang Lin clicked his tongue in his heart, repeated the situation in a few words, and then became a little curious: "How did you find me?"
They are four separate bodies, and they are actually quite independent of each other. It's hard to find each other unless you have an omniscient bent. Like her back then, she was found by Jiang Lin who possesses omniscience—this omniscience is an inherent attribute of the body he possesses, and its level is not high. Jiang Lin couldn't be bothered to rise slowly, and then stared at the one who possessed both Order and Eternal Day, and was shocked to be a heavenly man, so he committed suicide and changed his body.
That body later died in Dahuaihua Middle School. Jiang Lin wanted to find another one with omniscience, but he couldn't find it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lin couldn't help but reflect on himself. Her first impression of Jiang Lin was actually not bad, she thought he still had some brains. Thinking about it now, maybe this is the aura brought about by the omniscient tendency.
People with exclusive intelligence resources always look more unpredictable.
On the other side, Jiang Lin had already given the answer coldly: "What's so difficult about this. You are so lazy, you will only be promoted to Yongzhou when you level up. There are only a few existences above the Yongzhouhui level."
And the upgrade space of Yongzhou is very special. It is called "Eternal Day Prison", and each upgrader has his own independent cell and number. At Hui level and above, there are fewer people in the room, so she just needs to squat there and try from room to room. Sooner or later, you will be able to touch Jianglin.
Jianglin: "...you are quite patient."
"Omniscient is gone, what can I do." Jiang Lin said coldly, "It stands to reason that it should be the one that woke up first, and it should also be the one responsible for summoning us."
The fact is, until now, they have not received any news from each other.
Jiang Lin always thought that the other party hadn't woken up - after all, when the incident happened five years ago, their order of waking up was disrupted. Jiang Lin and Jiang Lin, one can only recruit cats and dogs, and the other doesn't care about everything. Both of them should wake up after she or Quan Zhi grasped the situation. Fortunately, they are all awake now...
On the contrary, she herself, because of what happened five years ago, woke up a little later, her senses became duller, and she even missed the news that Xingxing woke up early.
Thinking of the big ice wall in the Path of Chaos, Jiang Lin felt another heart attack. Then Ting Jianglin said, "I have a clue about omniscience."
She told about the fact that she had heard Jiang Lin and another person's voice. Jiang Linmo was silent for a while, then blinked: "So, did you try to find him?"
"I...Of course I tried." General Jiang Lin couldn't say that he hadn't made a move yet, so he talked nonsense calmly, "It's just that I don't know why, and I don't have a clue. It may be that the distance is relatively long."
Jiang Lin: "..."
"Listen to your nonsense." She said bluntly, "This matter is officially arranged. Get back to me as soon as possible."
She said, blinking slowly.
"We were supposed to be five years ahead. As a result, Xingxing still woke up early, and was escorted all the way to Chaos Huijinchen by Jiang Lin's idiot... We must hurry up."
"This is the last round and our last chance."
Or rather—the last one.
Jiang Lin said, his eyes darkened, his eyes became serious, and he emphasized again that he wanted to find someone, Fang took the initiative to disappear from the back of Jiang Lin's hand.
There was only one left, looking at the back of his hand that healed automatically, paused for a few seconds, sighed, turned his head, grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the fruit plate next to him, sat on the edge of the bed and began to kowtow expressionlessly.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered what she had said to a strange old woman when she was in the "City of New Life". She told her that people are lucky to have choices.
…Unfortunately, she was knocked unconscious not long after she finished speaking.
What's even more regrettable is that she is destined not to have such a good thing.
the other end.
Xu Tuoran had already put away the medicine bottles on the windowsill one by one. Right now I'm packing my own abomination props.
She has already contacted Taobao store. The reply given by the other party was that they didn't have any items in their warehouse that could counteract severe hallucinations. But Xu Tuoran has an abominable monster of the Eternal Day Chen level in his hand, maybe he can use it to create a corresponding function.
Therefore, Xu Tuoran made an appointment with them on the spot to make a custom-made time in the past. Ready to go in no time.
She didn't spend much time looking for Yang Buqi's location. If Yang Buqi wanted to stay, he wouldn't run away; since he wanted to run away, she would definitely not be able to find him now. It's not a well-behaved little animal, it will come back after yelling at the window.
Xu Turan slept for too long, and the effect of the runes on the wall began to weaken gradually. Fortunately, she could still see clearly the appearance of those abominable props—and fortunately, these props were almost scrapped at the moment, otherwise Xu Tuoran might not have the energy to take care of them in his current state.
Most of the props are still half-dead. Only the pen of the Bixian has recovered surprisingly well, and the tip of the pen has grown again. There will be no dripping of ink. When Xu Tuoran went to get it, it still had the energy to spray a few bubbles of ink from the tip of the pen.
[Don't put me and bugs in the same grid. ] Bubbles turned into faint writing in the air, 【I want to sleep alone. Or sleep in your pocket. 】
Xu Tuoran: "..."
Or your pen will continue to rot. save trouble.
Xu Tuoran resisted the urge to throw it on the ground, took out a silver square box and put it in. Just as he was about to close the lid, his heart suddenly moved and he asked, "Why did you recover so quickly?"
Pen Fairy's Pen:…
Xu Tuoran: ...?
She looked down at the red pen in the box, and began to calmly count down: "Three, two..."
【Yang did not give up on repairing it. 】The pen of the pen fairy spat out a few bubbles again, 【He gave me life. 】
…I knew it.
She didn't know whether she should feel that the current Yang Buqi could even cure abominable things, or that he could even think of this. After a short pause, she still couldn't help asking: "How is he now?"
Bixian Zhibi answered quickly: [The growth is gratifying. 】
Xu Turan: ...
She stared at the four words for a few seconds, then shook her head discouragedly: "I'm so dizzy. Why are you asking me this?"
The pen of the pen fairy must answer every question: 【You care. 】
Xu Turan: ...
Great, so the next question comes. Yang Buqi is fine, what are you doing?
Bixian Zhibi became excited when he heard this question, and even struggled to raise his body a little: [Of course it's because I'm the most useful! 】
These words are also displayed in the form of ink bubbles. And I don't know if it was on purpose, those bubbles floated forward for a while, until they stopped on the heads of several other abominations, and then burst one by one, revealing the writing.
Xu Tuoran: ...
She couldn't take it anymore and closed the lid directly. Moreover, he resolutely ignored the request of the Pen Fairy's Brush, and put it in the same compartment as the box containing the Chuangshen Worm.
On the outside of the sealed box of Chuangshen Worm, Xu Tuoran added a few more runes. After finishing it, she drew a few patterns on her arms to resist hallucinations, then put on her bag, opened the door and walked out of the room.
Because the runes were drawn in advance, even if he left the room, Xu Tuoran's vision could remain roughly normal. It's just that from the corner of the eye, I occasionally catch some moving black shadows, or when the line of sight stays somewhere, the thing being stared at will suddenly change its appearance.
The parlor still held the puddles of dead abominations. Xu Tuoran was not very happy to clean it, but felt that there was still power flowing in it, so he took out another empty box, tried to seal it in, and took it out together.
The address given by the Taobao store docking staff is not too far away. Take a taxi from her residence and take the high speed, half an hour's drive. It's just that after hearing the address given by Xu Tuoran, Brother was obviously stunned for a moment, and even checked the address on purpose.
Only then did Xu Tuoran know that the address given by the Taobao shop was a demolition site. There was supposed to be an office building there, but it was about to be demolished, the inside had already been evacuated, and the water and electricity were cut off.
Considering the special nature of the Taobao store business, Xu Tuoran is not very surprised. But for the driver, it was a bit strange for a little girl to take a taxi to such a desolate place at night.
The driver looked like he was not happy, but he dragged him over anyway. When you get to the place, put the person down and run. It wasn't until he got out of the car that Xu Tuoran roughly understood why the driver's reaction was so strong.
the reason is simple. It's really broken here. The rest of the buildings in that area have been almost demolished, and the ground is full of rubble and cement fragments, paved with a thick layer. There are also two small earth hills standing on the ground. Under the moonlight, at a glance, it is extremely desolate.
And behind Xiaotushan is the office building, two stories high, dusty, with dead creepers crawling on the wall, and the glass in the window frame has been removed cleanly. At first glance, it looks like it is missing eyes. the eye sockets.
Xu Tuoran stayed in the car exhaust for a while, silently picked up his sleeve and checked the rune on his arm, then raised his foot and walked towards the office building.
As he got closer, a light suddenly lit up in the window frame. She even saw a green and white face in the dark window frame—a girl with long hair standing at the window, smiling slightly at herself.
Xu Tueran wasn't sure if this was his hallucination, so he glanced at it lightly and then looked away. It wasn't until after entering the gate that he saw the long-haired girl walking down the stairs and greeted himself that he confirmed that what he saw was a real person.
Well... Strictly speaking, it's not a human being either.
"Is that Zhang Baixue?" The girl greeted politely, revealing the dark inside of her mouth, "I'm Mr. Xiao Jiang's special administrative assistant Er Nan. Mr. Jiang hasn't arrived yet..."
As she spoke, her eyes glanced at Xu Tuoran's backpack, and for some reason, her smile froze suddenly. Xu Tuoran unconsciously touched the bag belt: "Is there any question?"
"...No." The girl silently closed her dark mouth. I don't know if it was Xu Tuoran's illusion, but her face seemed to turn paler, "I'll lead you up first."
"Oh...ok." Xu Tuoran followed her upstairs, pondered for a while, and tentatively said, "I thought there would be more humans in your unit."
"Most of them are human beings." Ernan nodded slightly and responded seriously, "The regular employees have another office, which is far away from here. If you are curious, you can wait and ask Mr. Jiang. This is Mr. Jiang's Special Office. Because your request is very risky, it is specially designated here."
"That's it." Xu Tuoran nodded thoughtfully, his eyes flicked to the wall next to him. I saw that the wall was undulating slightly as if it was alive, and under the mottled wall, the meridian-like existence could be faintly seen.
Anyway, the premonition of crisis and the reminder of the death value are not ringing now. Xu Tuoran didn't care too much, and looked away as if nothing had happened: "Is that Mr. Jiang you mentioned, the Chen-level Long Ye who took my order?"
"Yeah." Ernan nodded slightly, with a mechanical smile on his face.
Xu Tuoran: "She was also the one who interviewed me at the beginning?"
"I'm not sure about that. The interviews are done by regular employees." Ernan said, stopping, "Okay, please wait here now. I'll go and prepare some food for you."
In front of them was a reception room with wooden sofas and heavy desks full of nouveau riche atmosphere. Xu Turan thanked him, and just entered the door when he heard a creak behind him, and the door closed automatically.
The house was obviously too dilapidated, and with the sound of closing the door, dust fell.
Xu Tuoran subconsciously raised his hand to cover it, and dodged to the window. Just as he was about to look out the window, a pair of feet suddenly appeared in front of him. After a moment of silence, he looked out, facing a swollen face hanging on a rope.
Xu Tuoran: "..."
She tried to poke the foot next to her. Physical, can touch. Not hallucinations.
Then he looked up again: "Want to help?"
Hanging Corpse: "…"
"No... use." It stuttered and said, "I... am... a... guard."
Xu Tuoran: "..."
Your security here is also unique.
She closed her eyes forbearance, looked away, and lowered her head to check the runes on her wrist again. There was a knock on the door suddenly, and the female ghost who had led the way poked her head in again, with a smile on her pale face.
"Sorry, I forgot to ask just now. What's your preference? I'm going to prepare something here."
Xu Tuoran: "?"
She paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that just now she said that she would prepare some food for her.
Xu Tuoran thought of the puddle of mud in his bag, his heart trembled, and he quickly waved his hands: "No, no, don't bother. I'm not hungry...I mean, I don't need that kind of thing."
Female ghost: "..."
Her smile froze again, her eyes swept across Xu Tuoran's backpack again, her voice trembled for some reason: "Well...you don't need to eat now. President Xiao Jiang ordered you to give you a small gift of props ..."
Xu Tuoran: ...Oh, so that's what it means.
"I need more chaos now." She thought about it carefully, and ordered, "Then thank you, Mr. Jiang."
As soon as the words came out, the female ghost immediately showed a relieved expression, smiled again, responded, and backed out.
Xu Tuoran stood there uncomfortably. He didn't wait for the food or props that he had agreed upon. Instead, a little girl came in with her schoolbag after knocking on the door.
"Sorry for the long wait. I haven't solved a problem just now, and my mother won't let me go... Hey, sister, don't stand up, sit down."
The little girl greeted Xu Tuoran familiarly. It seemed that she didn't like hard wooden sofas, and at the same time he brought her a soft pillow from the office chair next to him.
Xu Tuoran still didn't turn his head around. After thanking him, he sat down and took off the black bag he was carrying, and put it on his lap as a pillow: "You are the one from before..."
"Interviewer. That's what they call Mr. Jiang." The girl said generously, "My name is Jiang Siyu. It's fine for my sister to call me by my name or Xiao Jiang."
Xu Tuoran raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why is Mr. Jiang?"
"The founder of Taobao Store is my grandfather. But he is busy now, so I will take over the matter." Jiang Siyu said, putting a finger on his lips, "Sister, this matter should be kept secret. I trust my sister very much. That's why I told you."
"To be honest, I trust you a lot, that's why I came here." Xu Tuoran opened his mouth and came, coaxing the little girl opposite to make her eyes shine, then opened the backpack, and took out the sealed box containing the worm creation , "This is the abomination I was talking about."
She put the box on the coffee table and slid towards Jiang Siyu. Jiang Siyu stretched out his hand to hold it down, but didn't rush to study, but glanced at Xu Tuoran's backpack.
"Then what, sister. I have some bigger bags here." She said hesitantly, "Do you mind packing this bag first?"
Xu Tuoran: "?"
"Why?" She didn't understand.
"It's like this. My office is quite special. The employees in it are all low-level abominations and energy bodies." Jiang Siyu seemed to be struggling with how to explain, "Well, you carry such a bag and walk here Walking around is actually kind of... er, scary."
"What are you scared of?" Xu Tuoran froze for a moment. Immediately finally reacted.
—In her backpack, except for the pen of the pen fairy, the worm creation and the dead mud, the rest of the props were all swept in with a scraper, not even a bag.
Most of those abominations could be smelled through the bag.
"It's not likely, it really smelled it." Seeming to see through Xu Tuoran's mind, Jiang Siyu said quietly, "When I came in, I heard Ernan telling other people that the big boss of human beings is terror. A bunch of half-dead abominations walking around..."
From the perspective of the abominable creature, the visual impact is similar to that seen by human beings and the perverted killer carrying the broken corpse into the street.
She even heard some strange rumors that the boss's abominations and props were all eaten...
Xu Turan: ...
She was silent for a second, instead of correcting this subtle misunderstanding, she asked Jiang Siyu: "Excuse me, what is the tendency of that girl named Ernan?"
"Long night." Jiang Siyu didn't think about it, "Everything here is long night."
Xu Turan: ...
No wonder that girl relaxed like that when she said she was going to be "chaos prone".
She was afraid that she thought she was going to order a mess and chew on the spot.
But when it comes to "chaos", Xu Tuoran thinks of another thing. She took out another silver box from her bag, opened it and put it on the coffee table.
"I collected this thing casually. Would you like to see your recycling here? Or make it a prop or something?"
What was contained in the box was the "corpse" of that slimy abomination. When this thing was taken out, even Jiang Siyu was dumbfounded.
"This is... a dead abomination." She widened her eyes, and her tone could not hide her surprise, "This... Boss, how did you do it?"
"It's a long story." Xu Tuoran couldn't make up his mind how much to reveal, and was speaking when the door was knocked again.
"Excuse me." Ernan pushed open the door, holding a tablet computer in his hand, "I sorted out the list of props that tend to be chaotic..."
Her eyes fell on the muddy corpse on the table, and she froze for a moment.
Xu Turan: ...
She didn't know what this female ghost had imagined. All she knew was that she probably couldn't clear up the matter of chewing the abominable thing.
On the other side, Jiang Siyu immediately put on a small face, and waved at the female ghost: "Now is not the time to talk about this. Don't you see that I am talking to someone? You go out first."
The female ghost responded with a low voice, and shrank out of the door holding the tablet. Jiang Siyu exhaled, and smiled at Xu Turan embarrassedly: "If you are an abomination, you will appear clumsy in dealing with people."
"Normal. They weren't professional in doing this." Xu Tuoran looked at the closed door again, and said indifferently, "As far as I know, abominations and energy bodies are naturally hostile to humans. The one here There seems to be no such problem."
She glanced at the little girl in front of her, thoughtfully: "As the domain master, did you impose some restrictions on them?"
Jiang Siyu was obviously taken aback when he heard the words, paused for two seconds, then smiled softly: "Sister, you have already seen it."
"Yeah." Xu Tueran nodded, "I wasn't sure at first. After all, I'm in an unstable state, and maybe I made a mistake. But the more I observe, the more I look like..."
In the building where the water and electricity were cut off, the lights were on at this moment. The walls seem to be alive and breathing. Abominations and energy bodies with the same tendency are gathered inside...
Simple hauntings can't be like this. The only explanation is that this is actually a domain.
But when she entered this domain, she really didn't feel any danger hints, and the confusion was completely useless. Explain that this place is safe for her.
The biggest possibility is that the domain owner of this domain has no malice towards her.
Contacting Mr. Xiao Jiang's identity again, Xu Tuoran naturally replaced her in the position of "Region Lord". But there was still one thing she didn't understand.
"Should you be human?" She looked at the little girl in front of her, "Can humans also have domains?"
Jiang Siyu rubbed the sealed box in front of her and smiled again.
"Why not?" She asked back, noticing Xu Tuoran's puzzled eyes, and blinked mischievously.
"This is a secret that only humans who have reached the Chen level can know. If my sister really wants to know, she has to exchange it for another secret."
"Really?" Xu Tuoran raised his eyebrows, "Forget it."
Anyway, her chaotic tendencies have already reached the Chen-level region, and it is only a matter of time before she really rises to the Chen-level—Xu Tuoran thought quite firmly.
She never considered giving up on upgrading. One is that I have come here after thinking about it, anyway, it is not far away, so if I have a chance to get promoted, forget it. No loss in any way. The second reason is that before she came here, she had consulted Pu Han about how to completely solve the hallucination.
— After the other party learned that she had already rushed through the Chen-level gate and blocked the other person's space by the way, she was stunned for a long time. Then he spoke uncertainly: "I'm still a long way from the Chen level..."
"Understood." Xu Tuoran nodded immediately at that time, "So you have nothing to do now, right?"
Waiting for me to reach the Chen level - these words are almost becoming Pu Han's catchphrase.
I don't want Pu Han to correct immediately: "How do you talk? I want to tell you that I am still a long way from the Chen level. And when I first entered the area, my mental state was not stable."
It's just that his level is much lighter than Xu Tuoran's. And the symptoms are not the same—it's not that he often sees hallucinations, but that there will be a lot of knowledge fragments in his mind out of thin air, as well as a large number of strangers' lives. Sometimes he even has an illusion that he is not himself, but someone from another time and space.
There are too many things like this, and people will always doubt life. Fortunately, Pu Han has Feifei and the Charity Institute to help stabilize and control it. Since then, I have been rushing in the upgrade space, and after reaching a certain level, this situation has gradually eased and even disappeared.
"As far as I know, many people will have the same situation when Ju Shenghui. There are basically three kinds of endings. Either give up upgrading by yourself and take medicine to stabilize. Or fail to survive and completely lose control. Or upgrade smoothly and recover without treatment. " Pu Han finally concluded, "Although other people have not done your kind of, uh... bizarre operation. But this idea, I think you can learn from it."
Xu Tuoran felt that it was quite reasonable, and immediately decided to continue to escalate the chaos when he had the opportunity. That's why she ordered "Chaos" just now.
Of course, Pu Han also said that he will find an opportunity to send some suitable medicines to Xu Tuoran in the future. He also specially emphasized that if he didn't get over it, the end would be very serious, and asked Xu Tuoran if he needed to return to the Tzu Chi Institute. If he returns, he can find a way to help out.
Xu Tuoran refused of course, but before the conversation ended, she asked Pu Han for another matter...
"Hey, sister, you are too quick to refuse."
Jiang Siyu's words brought Xu Tuoran back to his train of thought. She looked up and met Jiang Siyu's serious gaze, "Sister, at least listen to my needs."
Xu Tuoran: "..."
"So?" She sat up straight, "What do you want to ask me for?"
"It's just a small problem on a whim." Jiang Siyu said, leaning forward slightly, "Sister, it's like this. I told you before that I have a passive skill, which is that I can see other people's true feelings through their expressions. emotions, or thoughts."
"For example, just now, when you said 'trust me', I can feel that what you actually trust is not me, but the tendency of 'Long Night'."
Jiang Siyu raised his eyes, with a serious expression on his face: "If possible, I would like to know how you came to this conclusion. This matter is very important to me..."
Before she finished speaking, the electric light above her head suddenly flickered twice - the room became flickering.
Xu Tuoran raised his head casually: "The voltage in your domain seems to be unstable."
What she said was just a joke, but Jiang Siyu's face became serious for a moment, and hurriedly said to Xu Tuoran to wait a moment, and then ran out immediately.
Xu Tuoran was puzzled, waited for a while, then got up and looked outside. The corridor, which was brightly lit just now, is now completely dark. At a glance, nothing exists.
Xu Tuoran frowned slightly, and looked out while shouting "Is there a ghost?" Because her own premonition has always been in a peaceful state, she was not very nervous—
Until a certain moment, the premonition of crisis in her mind suddenly rang briefly.
Almost at the same time, in the darkness in front of Xu Tuoran, a silhouette appeared.
Xu Turan's heart moved, no matter what hallucinations or not, he was about to hit him with a punch. In the next second, there was a "bang", and the lights in the corridor turned on again, and Jiang Siyu's slightly nervous voice sounded: "Wait, wait, don't beat me up, this is my family!"
Xu Tuoran: "..."
She took a deep look at the "person" standing in front of her, and her expression became a little subtle: "Family?"
Don't blame her for being weird. After all, the "person" in front of her was really strange.
He is too tall, with a big part of his shoulders swollen outwards. He is wearing a large coat on the back, and the loose clothes are tight, but his legs are as thin as chopsticks. Where the face should have been, a pure black mask was completely covered. There were no air holes in the mask, and no facial features could be seen.
…Xu Turan wondered if his hallucination symptoms had worsened now, so that even people looked strange.
Jiang Siyu was standing obliquely behind that person at this moment, and nodded seriously when he heard the words: "Well, family members. Let me introduce, this is my father—"
Xu Tuoran said "Oh" and nodded to the person in front of him: "Hello, Uncle."
The person in front of him didn't react at all. Jiang Siyu smiled embarrassedly.
"Sister, you made a mistake." She corrected, "The one on my side is my father. The one on your side is my grandfather."
Xu Tuoran: "...?"
? ? ? !
She didn't understand Jiang Siyu's meaning for a while, she was silent for a while, and then tried to look past the man in front of him to look at his back.
After going around, Xu Tuoran understood what Jiang Siyu meant by "my side"—
On the back of the man, there was still a face.
No, not "back". From the structural point of view, this side is the front side, but what Xu Tueran saw just now should be counted as the back side.
On the other side of this face, there is also a pure black mask. On the chest, there is also a breastplate with runes painted on it.
Xu Tuoran looked down and murmured out the name on the sign: "Jiang Xisheng...?"
"This is my father's name." Jiang Siyu explained, "Grandpa was afraid that he would make a mistake again, so he made this specially, and asked him to hang it all the time."
"...Mistake?" Xu Tuoran's mind is completely confused now, "What do you mean?"
"Because my dad used to insist that he had another name for a while, and he always wanted to change it." Jiang Siyu was a little helpless, "The name he changed obviously didn't sound too nice."
Xu Tuoran: "? What does he want to change to?"
"Jiang Lin." Jiang Siyu said lightly, straightening the rune plaque on his father's chest.
