MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 34 【Minor Repair】
For the ability users at that time, it was an unprecedented huge wave, which almost overturned them completely, and they couldn't even climb up.
No one expected that the seer would backstab. He himself is the initiator and one of the elite backbones of the Tzu Charity Institute. He has helped his companions overcome countless difficulties by relying on his own ability. Whether it is character or will, he has passed the test of time and others. The prophets have also made predictions with each other, and all the results show that he is the most suitable person to be pushed into the Chen class.
Therefore, shortly after he was promoted, when he suddenly decided to call a meeting of all the top leaders in the circle, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong.
What's more, the reason he gave is very convincing-he claims to have glimpsed a major event that is related to the survival of human beings, and he needs to discuss it with the elite of capable people first.
And these elites included all the Hui-levels at that time, a small part of the Torch-levels who were about to upgrade, and all those with the foresight ability above Candlestick.
No one knows exactly what was discussed at that meeting. The only thing that is certain is that all the participants showed abnormalities one after another after they came back—the first thing that happened was the low-level predictive ability users. They committed suicide or lost control in a large number in a short period of time, which caused considerable panic. panic.
Immediately afterwards, high-level ability users also began to have accidents one after another. At the beginning, it was just that someone disappeared for no reason, and then the out-of-control situation also began to spread rapidly. And this situation is even more puzzling than the loss of control of people with low abilities—
Starting from the torch level, the physical and mental conditions of the capable users will be strictly controlled by the organization, and strive to make no mistakes. The root causes of these elites' loss of control are all minor problems that should have been resolved.
""For example, Feifei—" Yang Buqi paused at this point, "The trigger for her loss of control was the sudden outbreak of an old wound that was polluted. However, in the memories of many parties, the wound was obviously healed at that time. There was no way it could have been on her for so many years and no one noticed. "
Xu Tuoran frowned slightly, remembering what Su Sui'er once said: "It is said that a Chen-level predictor can manipulate time and space."
"This statement comes from that accident." Yang Buqi nodded, "Many people believe that the prophet interfered with other people's past, modified some important details, and planted the fuse for the loss of control. So much turmoil in such a short period of time.”
"Is there no omniscient verification?" Xu Tuoran asked.
"His rank is higher than all the omniscients at that time. It is difficult to spy on." Yang Buqi said, "And among the high ranks, the omniscients are the first to have accidents."
This bit of information was released little by little after people later summed up the information at that time.
"That prophet is very good at hiding. At that time, he had been pretending to be sick and pretending to be injured. If he hadn't done something like absconding with money later, people would not have completely identified him." Yang Buqi drank his saliva and added .
Xu Tuoran was surprised: "He also stole money?"
"It's not money...it's information, there are resources. Upgrades and treatments." Yang Buqi explained, "and let go of a lot of abominations that are being researched... Renxinyuan was also disastered by him, and it is said that the loss is also huge. Big."
To add insult to injury. This incident caused a great blow to the people at that time, and the entire circle lost almost two-thirds of high-level ability users and a large amount of research materials. The two largest organizations, the Cijiyuan and the Renxinyuan, were seriously injured, not to mention the small groups that were only supported by one or two Hui-level leaders. Eventually either disbanded or merged.
In order to prevent him from making a comeback, people are more cautious about the cultivation of high-level ability users, and the speed of cultivating ability users has been greatly slowed down. Moreover, the organizations of ability users are all non-governmental organizations, without official background. In order to facilitate things, connections are very important. In the past, the establishment of connections in the organization mainly relied on the top elites. When these people suddenly had accidents, it would take a lot of effort to build connections again.
"In the past, ability users could only be called advanced if they reached the torch level, and the Hui level was the backbone. But now, the light level can be regarded as high level, and the torch level is already a scarce resource. It's gone." Yang Buqi sighed, "The whole circle has been downgraded, and it's not completely slowed down until now. At least on the surface."
Outside of the two organizations of Renxin Tzu Chi, there are still quite a few capable people who actually work in private. It is not that there is no higher level of existence. It's just that the resources that the two organizations can provide for high-level people are limited, and there are risks of exposure and restraint after joining. Some people are more inclined to act on their own in order to seek faster growth.
"If it's only affected by this aspect, it's fine. After all, human beings are very tenacious. No matter how barren the wilderness is, they can survive and reclaim it, and no matter how big the disaster is, they can climb up again..."
As Yang Buqi spoke, he didn't know what to think of, and his voice gradually dropped.
"People's hearts." Xu Tuoran said quietly, "The more terrifying influence lies in people's hearts."
Yang Buqi took a deep look at her and nodded slowly.
That's right, the worst impact of that seer was in the hearts of the people.
He used to be the hope of those with abilities, the highest heaped up by countless people and spent countless resources. Seen as a hope of dealing with—or even destroying—abominations.
However, after peeking into the future, he made a decision to betray mankind, and almost destroyed everything that the capable person took pains to build.
And all of this was done while he was sane.
It's hard not to make a guess.
Is his so-called spying on the future true? If so, what exactly did he see? What made him decide to give up everything and destroy everything?
What is his motive? Is he doing it for a higher purpose? Is he for destruction, or for salvation?
…Is the direction we are working on now really the right one? Does everything we do now really make sense? Are all our so-called risks and sacrifices just self-righteous?
These questions are confusing and destabilizing. Therefore, there are quite a few people who choose to quit the organization, and some of them even have a new batch of backbones who have taken on the heavy task of rebuilding—some things, persistence depends entirely on a belief. Once you have doubts and lose confidence, you can no longer do it.
Worse, they have yet to find an answer to this question.
Because if you want to truly interpret the behavior of the prophet, you must rely on high-level omniscience or foreknowledge. And the high-level people with these two tendencies were almost wiped out at that time.
"Pu Han's ability level at that time was actually only 'Deng'. He took great risks to save Feifei, and forced himself to upgrade to Hui level in a short period of time." Yang Buqi sighed again, "Maybe it is Because of this time difference, he didn't become the guy's target. But even he couldn't see the whole story of the accident."
In terms of omniscience, it is difficult for even the only "Hui" level ability user to spy on it, let alone others.
As for prediction, it's even worse.
"Do you know why there have been no high-level predictors in the past five years?" Yang Buqi glanced at Xu Tuoran, "That guy, he not only got rid of all the predictors at that time, but also blocked all the predictors after that." The road to advancement."
Xu Tuoran: "...?"
"Can you still do this kind of thing?" She frowned puzzled.
Then, she remembered - Weiwei once said that the so-called "upgrade" is actually equivalent to countless people and monsters with the same tendency logging into the same server in a dream.
"..." Xu Tuoran was shocked, and couldn't believe his bold guess, "Could it be that that guy blew up the server with his backhand after he finished his upgrade?" "
"What kind of service... oh oh." Yang Buqi didn't expect Xu Tuoran's thoughts to change so quickly, instead he took a moment to understand Xu Tuoran's meaning, and shook his head immediately.
"No, but it's about the same."
Yang Buqi organized his words, and said: "I don't know if Su Sui'er and the others have told you...the upgrade, which is the 'server' you mentioned, is a one-way street."
He raised his hand to gesture to Xu Tuoran: "This road is divided into different areas. Every time you reach a new area, it means that you have completed an upgrade. Between each area, there are things like 'gates' blocking... "
Xu Tuoran understood: "You don't want to say that he put locks on all the 'doors'?"
Yang Buqi nodded seriously.
Xu Tuoran: "..." This is too bad.
She thought about it carefully, and then felt wrong: "But don't you say it's a one-way street?"
If that person wants to lock the door, he must not run back?
"No one knows how he did it. In short, the fact is like this." Yang Buqi shook his head, "Even the door to the 'server' was locked by him. So in the past five years, the propensity for predicting basically has no 'candle' and People with abilities above 'candle' are all at the firefly level..."
He himself is the only exception. His current foresight is at the "lamp" level, but he has been stuck at this level for almost two years, and it is difficult to make any progress.
In other words, that foresighter, on his own, destroyed the entire ability tendency of "foresight". Looking at all tendencies now, "precognition" can be said to be the most useless ability recognized.
Xu Tuoran's eyes turned slightly, and he suddenly became interested: "So, how did you get promoted?"
She stared at Yang Buqi curiously, her eyes were as bright as hidden stars: "Does this have something to do with your concealment from the Charity Institute?"
Yang Buqi: "..."
Sure enough, it finally came back to this question.
He coughed, sat up slightly, and his eyes flickered. Seeing him like this, Xu Tuoran hurriedly raised his hand understandingly: "It's okay, I'll just ask casually. Don't want to say it. "
"No, there is nothing we can't say..." Yang Buqi pursed his lips, "Strictly speaking, there is actually no connection. It's just that I have been applying for resources from the organization now, to impact the 'torch' level of foresight. Once I let them know that I still have more useful omniscient tendencies, or my real progress in life tendencies, they are likely to refuse to help me hit the foreknowledge. "
"? Why? "Xu Tueran crossed his arms, "No one else can level up in this aspect, only you can." They should help you more. "
"But like I said before. Once upgraded to the "torch" level, the organization will strictly control the upgrade of the team members. And there are more factors to consider now than ever before. "Yang Buqi said truthfully, "The current organization has no capital to take risks. They are definitely more willing to cultivate omniscience and life than the foreknowledge that has gone wrong..."
In order not to receive more interference, he could only choose to conceal it.
It is also thanks to his good personal relationship with Pu Han that this matter can be hidden - although Pu Han managed to keep Feifei's consciousness at the beginning, his body can't bear the symbiosis with Feifei. In addition, he forced himself to upgrade in an almost crazy way, which also brought great side effects to his body. During the first year of symbiosis with Feifei, he was so ill that he was barely awake.
It happened that Yang Buqi entered the industry in the second year, and it happened that he had a very good healing talent, and he helped Pu Han treat him intermittently for a year, and then Pu Han gradually recovered. Because of this, he thought he owed Yang Buqi a favor, so he was willing to help conceal it.
In Yang Buqi's view, this experience was extremely sinful and shameful, and now he has confessed everything to Xu Tuan, which is a complete confession. As he spoke, he carefully observed Xu Tuoran's expression, noticed her frowning suddenly, his heart beat involuntarily, and he immediately looked away.
"I know this kind of thing is despicable. But I can't help it, I have something I want to do... I want to know what that Chen-level seer saw. This is the biggest sticking point right now, and it's useless to just avoid it. I have to try to figure it out... If I'm trained to be an ability user with other tendencies, no matter how powerful I am, it's just one more guy who can fight. But if I can figure this out, it will be a huge benefit to the entire group of ability users. "
Yang Buqi closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "If you think this is unacceptable, then I can't say anything." But please, don't bring this matter to the Charity Institute. As long as you agree to this, other things...anything is easy to talk about. "
Xu Tuoran: "…"
She put down her chopsticks with a delicate expression: "Well, I didn't say anything, did I?" "
Why does she suddenly look like an idealistic little white flower who is persecuted and bears the burden of humiliation? I just took the time to pick up the chopsticks. What kind of things have you imagined?
Yang Buqi: "…"
"But I saw your disgusted expression just now. "
Xu Tuoran: "...I said I chewed anise just now, do you believe me?" "
Yang Buqi: "..."
Gan. It turned out to be the truth.
He raised his hand to support his forehead, and suddenly had the urge to jump out of the window.
Shame, shame. What did he say just now? What kind of persecuted idealistic little white flower is he? It's too shameful.
Yang Buqi tried his best to control his expression and his restless toes. Xu Turan looked at him quietly, and suddenly laughed.
"Besides, you don't have to walk on eggshells like this." I know your secret. Don't you know mine too? " She poured a cup of tea leisurely, put it on the turntable, and turned it in front of Yang Buqi.
"Pu Han falsified my quality, only you know about it. Rounding up, we even. "
Moreover, she actually quite likes Yang Buqi's idea—to have the courage to try, to face difficulties. It's her style.
Yang Buqi took a deep look at her, lowered his head and picked up the cup of tea in front of him. Just as the tea touched his lips, he suddenly realized something, and put down the teacup instantly: "Wait, so you actually know your true quality, right?" "
Xu Tuoran: "…"
Gan. The chat exploded.
"You haven't said how you completed the upgrade yet. "She changed the topic decisively, and seeing Yang Buqi's embarrassed face, she immediately added, "So you still have a secret, and I also have a secret." Rounding up, we're even again - perfect! "
Yang Buqi: "…"
No, who is perfect with you!
He looked at Xu Tuoran silently, and after a while, he sighed suddenly, and lowered his shoulders discouragedly: "Feifei said, you can take care of yourself." "
Xu Tuoran: "Huh?" "
"However, I have entered the industry so many years earlier than you, so there is always something that I can help you with." "Yang Buqi raised his eyes to look at her, and his tone was very firm, "If you have any problems, no matter what, no matter whether it is convenient for others to know...you can come to me. "
"I will definitely help you. "
The sun shone through the window and hit him obliquely. Xu Tuoran was in a trance for a moment, feeling as if he had seen this scene there before.
Then I saw her squinting her eyes and smiling lightly, the corners of her eyes and lips were also stained with a little sunlight.
"Okay, you said it. Then I can write it down. "
"…"
Yang Buqi stared at her blankly, and after a while he realized that he was nodding his head gently.
However, it turns out that some people's promises are not reliable.
An hour later, looking at the contract in front of him, Xu Tuoran desperately launched an unknown number of times of dying struggles.
"You said you would help me no matter what—"
"It does not include helping you to suspend or drop out of school. "Yang Buqi said without thinking," but I can help you make up lessons... sober up. The treatment of the part-time agreement is not bad. "
Xu Tuoran: "…"
Looking at the part-time job agreement in front of her, she restrained herself and closed her eyes.
Mistake. She silently covered her face in her heart.
After all the calculations, she missed the fact that the original owner was only nineteen years old!
In the past hour, Yang Buqi took Xu Tuoran to learn about the current operating system of the Tzu Chi Institute as quickly as possible. As a newcomer, Xu Tueran has two choices—one is to receive initial training as a beneficiary, and then he can leave the Tzu Chi Institute and start activities on his own. One is to officially join the Tzu Chi Institute and receive complete training and training. Correspondingly, she is obliged to "go out on missions" according to the Tzu Chi Institute's arrangement to help more people.
Xu Tuoran originally came here for the mission, and there will be subsidies after he officially joins, so of course he chose the second option. But when she was about to sign the agreement, she realized that what Yang Buqi gave her was a part-time job agreement.
A part-time job means that the probability and quantity of her getting death missions will be greatly reduced, Xu Tuoran is of course unwilling.
However, Yang Buqi's reason is very good - Xu Tuoran is only nineteen now, just after the college entrance examination. Before long, she will receive an admission letter from the university.
Since I still have to go to school, of course it can only be considered a part-time job.
Xu Tuoran was not happy: "I don't have to go!" Or take a leave of absence! Which is more important, saving humanity or going to school? "
"It's all important! "Yang Buqi was very persistent, "I asked Feifei and she said that you are going to a good university..."
That's right. Xu vainly said in his heart. Although she didn't know how the original owner's application was filled out, and how she performed in the college entrance examination—she didn't even know whether she had passed the college entrance examination.
However, the original owner later went to University A, which is considered a top-level school in this world.
"But didn't you also enter the industry at the age of nineteen? "Xu Tuoran never gave up until his death, "Did you go to school at that time? "
"I read it. "Yang Buqi is confident and confident," he has a double degree, and has also passed the intermediate translation and interpretation, junior level, teaching qualifications and driver's license. If you don't believe me, I will show you the certificate. "
Xu Tuoran: "…"
If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't ask.
In any case, under Yang Buqi's insistence, Xu Tuoran only signed a part-time job agreement in the end. According to the agreement, she needs to come to the charity institute at least two days a week to report, undergo training and check her mental condition. If her condition is stable, she can apply for an upgrade to the Tzu Chi Institute, and the Tzu Chi Institute will provide a certain degree of help—of course, she can also complete the upgrade by herself. However, after upgrading, you need to report to the Tzu Chi Institute.
As for the tasks, you can read and apply in the official account after completing the initial training. After the application, the person with the ability to lead the team will make a selection, and after passing the selection, they can follow along... to save mankind.
Her qualities and abilities were also submitted to the Tzu Chi Institute's database—at her strong request, Pu Han finally deleted the first five characters of "Invincible and Cute Little Jade Rabbit", and the final submitted version was " "Jade Rabbit" and "Snow White".
Ability tendencies are still registered as "natural disasters", "beasts" and "eternal day".
"Elementary eternal day ability users generally have two directions: controlling light and shadow and controlling emotions. "When Yang Buqi sent her away, he reminded her in a low voice, "If someone asks you, just say that you are in the second direction. As long as others don't let you upgrade in this direction, you shouldn't be exposed. "
In fact, under the premise of being prone to "natural disasters", the organization should not encourage her to upgrade to "Eternal Day"-compared to, the functionality and stability of natural disasters are much stronger.
Xu Tuoran nodded knowingly, and got into the car sent by his assistant under the watchful eye of Yang Buqi. The smile on the corner of his mouth subsided the moment the car door closed.
False quality, false ability tendency... She didn't quite understand why Feifei specially helped her to forge the appraisal result, but after a long talk with Yang Buqi, she understood instead.
Su Sui'er said that no one can have "order" and "chaos" at the same time. No one can have all four aptitudes at the same time. And she happened to be the exception of the two-in-one—this may not be a bad thing for human beings, but it may not be an acceptable thing for the current group of ability users.
She showed up at the wrong time. The current group of ability users is just starting out from a waste of time, and the overall style of acting is more conservative, not daring to take risks. The control over ability users is also stricter. Even Yang Buqi has to worry about her own promotion, let alone a newcomer who just entered the industry?
From another perspective, her dependence on the organization is actually not that great. All she needs is the tasks assigned by the organization. If she wants to upgrade, she has a death point system, and with Feifei's secret hints, she can complete the upgrade quietly by herself in private.
"Tomorrow's moon is very round, it is a day suitable for dreaming" - she silently recited Feifei's reminder in her heart, thinking of the mirror she just bought not long ago.
It was one of the supernatural items bought from Taobao. It is said that those who see it will lose their minds and fall into hallucinations. From the performance point of view, it should be the chaotic tendency.
Feifei asked her to put the mirror she just bought on the bedside before going to bed. It should be to use the chaotic characteristics of the other party to let her log in to the chaotic "server" again and try to upgrade. As for the second half of what she said...
[The opportunity of whoring for nothing, why not consider other needs. Something like [Pu Han] might come in handy. 】
Pu Han, omniscient and capable.
As for the so-called chances of whoring...
Xu Tuoran lowered his eyes, turned on his mobile phone to Taobao, and called the customer service in the store again.
[Hello, I have already considered the giveaway I mentioned earlier. 】
[Excuse me, do you have lamp-level items that are omniscient? 】
As soon as the words were sent out, I quickly got a reply from the customer service, saying that I would go to the warehouse to look for it.
Xu Turan was not in a hurry, and just waited online. After waiting for a while, before the customer service could reply, the driver suddenly stopped the car and informed him that he had arrived.
Xu Tuoran absent-mindedly opened the car door and went out, and was stunned on the spot.
After a moment of silence, she turned to look at the driver:
"Um, are you sure it's here...? "
"Huh? "The driver wearing black gloves was stunned for a moment when she heard her question, and hurriedly confirmed the address, "Well, No. 17, Xingxing Park Villa District. That's right. "
Star Park…
Xu was silent in vain. She just said that just now she felt that the surrounding environment was good, like wandering in a park. The co-author is really in the park.
She turned her head and looked at the three-story villa in front of her with a sun-warmed greenhouse and a transparent flower room, and at the neighbor next door who was separated by a large green belt. She once again refreshed her understanding of the original owner's wealth—God knows, And that's just one of their properties...
Xu Tuoran was shocked in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He quickly adjusted his mood, smiled at the driver, turned and walked forward.
She doesn't have the keys to the house. Try to press your fingerprints on the door lock on the guardrail, and the door lock opens slowly. Xu Tuoran suddenly paused.
I don't know if it's her illusion - just a moment ago, there was a beep in her mind.
It sounded like a premonition of crisis. But that sound was fleeting. As if hallucinating.
Xu Tuoran frowned slightly, tried to push open the guardrail and walked in—the premonition of crisis did not sound any more. The death rate has not increased either.
...strange things.
Xu Tuoran murmured in his heart, but his feet didn't stop. She walked through the small garden in front of the house, and was surprised to find that the main entrance of the villa was actually open.
She pondered for a moment, then pushed the door open and entered. Sure enough, there was a person sitting at the dining table in the house.
"Come back. "The young man in a neat suit nodded indifferently at her, "The assistant has already sent the things back to your room. "
"Hmm. "Xu Tueran nodded without changing his face, as if she really knew the person opposite, "Why are you here?" "
" Items nearby. I will be living here for a while. "The young man's eyes drifted over her, and he quickly put it back on the iPad in his hand, "Don't worry, I won't stay here for long. It won't get in your way. "
"This was originally your house. You can live if you want, and I don't care. " Xu Tuoran said expressionlessly, quietly observing the face of the young man opposite him. Seeing that the other party only frowned slightly, he finally completely affirmed his guess.
The young man on the opposite side should be Yuan Shen's adoptive brother - the domineering president whom Yuan Shen called "the butler".
According to the information Xu Tueran saw, the relationship between the original body and this adoptive brother was very bad, and she was never even willing to admit the existence of the other party. In order to prevent the other party from seeing the clue, Xu Turan didn't say much, went straight through the hall and walked up the stairs.
Fortunately, the overbearing adoptive brother didn't intend to follow. Xu Tuoran breathed a sigh of relief, walked around the bedrooms on the second floor, and found his own room smoothly.
The new batch of supernatural objects she bought before are still packed in that silver box. Xu Tueran found the box, and just opened it, when several notification sounds suddenly sounded in his head.
【Congratulations】
【Christine】
【Congratulations...】
【Congratulations, congratulations...】
【Congratulations…】
Xu Tuoran: ...?
What's the matter, the machine is stuck?
The sound rang a few times, and soon returned to silence. Xu Tuoran waited for a few seconds, but didn't hear any more prompts, and asked questions in his head, but he didn't stop opening the box.
What she bought this time was another five items—including the chaotic mirror, all of which were of the same light grade. The quality is much higher than the previous batch.
Xu Tuoran was looking through the items, trying to find out what was triggering the notification tone just now, when the phone suddenly received a reply from the customer service of the Taobao shop:
[Kiss, my little one helped you go to the warehouse to see it! At present, there is only one product with an omniscient orientation, but the grade is not very suitable. Kiss, would you like to stop looking at other orientations? 】
Xu Tuoran: [? How is it inappropriate? Is it candlestick? 】
Customer service: [No no no. 】
Customer service: [That’s right, the product we found is strictly speaking an E grade...after being suppressed, it can barely be considered a light grade, but the seal on it is actually not very strong, so it’s still a bit dangerous...]
…really.
Xu Tuoran pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Then decisively type the reply:
[That's it. Where should I go to pick up the goods? 】
customer service:…?
Eh?
