MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 4
From his last life, Xu Tuoran knew that his head was somewhat abnormal.
They all scolded people for lacking a string in their minds, and she really lacked a string. She is too insensitive to things like "crisis" and "danger". To put it more simply, she just doesn't know what it means to be afraid.
For example, when most people see flames, they will subconsciously stay away. This is a kind of instinct. But Xu Turan is not like this.
She had to touch it with her own hands to confirm that this thing would cause pain before she knew to stay away—but she only "knows to stay away", and she will not reject or fear this thing because of this. As long as it is necessary, she dares to do so next time.
One result of this is that when Xu Tuoran faces certain things, her focus may be different from that of normal people.
Like now. In front of her was a tin cabinet. The tin cabinet has been opened a crack. A hand has been stretched out from the crack.
At this time, anyone with a complete brain must put survival first, and then have some in-depth thinking about the origin of the female ghost or how to fight back; as for Xu Tuoran, she skipped these steps and thought directly Another key question that hits the soul directly—
It should be some time before the female ghost gets rid of the cabinet completely.
During this limited time, is there any way for her to get some death points?
Xu Tuoran stood in front of the cabinet, lost in thought.
At the same time, on the other side.
"Are you sure this... is really feasible?"
In the innermost bedroom on the first floor, under the double bed, the sports committee member curled up his tall body as much as possible and asked in a low voice.
Gu Chenfeng replied sullenly from the side: "I'm not sure, it depends on luck."
Sports Committee:"…"
He turned his head with difficulty, looked at the circle of white salt sprinkled outside the bed, and fell silent for a while.
On the outside of the white salt, glutinous rice was sprinkled. Outside the glutinous rice, there are also pots and pans and various hardware supplies. These things were all brought from the kitchen and utility room next door within a limited time. Gu Chenfeng said that in the supernatural novels he read before, these things were used to exorcise evil spirits.
Time is urgent, and their "protection" is also arranged in a mess. After finishing the arrangement, they squeezed into the bottom of the double bed together, the girls were inside and the boys were outside, waiting quietly while shivering.
After Xu Tuoran left, they really didn't act in groups. After all, it was the first time for everyone to encounter ghosts, and they had no experience, so it would be more reassuring to have more people.
The lock on the cabinet in this room has also been broken. From Gu Chenfeng's angle, he could just see the hand sticking out from the cabinet. That hand was still pawing and pulling on the cabinet door, and from time to time, it would catch the talisman paper pasted on the cabinet door, making harsh noises. Gu Chenfeng's heart was beating like a drum, and he moved his body to block the sight of the girls behind him as much as possible.
The sports committee suddenly said, "I said, can we use those talisman papers?"
Gu Chenfeng: "...Huh?"
"Tear off all the talisman papers and stick them on our bodies!" said the sports commissioner, "Maybe it can scare away the female ghost?"
"The talisman is gone, and the female ghost came out ahead of time!" The squad leader said angrily, "You're trying to die!"
"It was coming out soon..." Ti Wei shrank his body, and his tone was a little aggrieved, "I can't hit him, so I can't just sit and wait for death."
When the female ghost in the cabinet just stretched out her hand, he really tried to chop it with a kitchen knife. It's like chopping the air, you can't cut it at all.
Monitor: ...
I have to say that the sports committee of their class is indeed quite thoughtful. When they first hid in this room, he seriously suggested whether to push the metal cabinet down to the ground—he thought that the female ghost would never be able to come out.
The squad leader wanted to ask him at that time, the cabinet is so big, what if the female ghost gets out first when it is half pushed? You take the broom and sweep it back?
"Okay, shut up." He closed his eyes forbearance, "There are still thirty seconds...keep quiet."
As soon as the words fell, a piece of talisman paper fell from the cabinet outside, and the door of the cabinet opened wider. The chair used to block the door was completely overturned, and the heavy objects on it fell to the ground.
There was the sound of the girls gasping in fear from behind. Gu Chenfeng rolled his throat, and said in a voice that only the three boys could hear: "Wait, if necessary, I will rush out."
The squad leader was surprised: "What are you doing? Fighting with her?"
"No." Gu Chenfeng said, "Doesn't she prefer people with the lowest grades? I missed the essay questions in the college entrance examination, and I didn't write the two major math questions..."
Monitor: ...
No, I don't think that's what it means when it says reciprocal grades, really.
His head started to hurt again, and just as he was about to speak out to persuade people not to send him off, the voice of the sports committee drifted over from the side again: "Does the score you mentioned add sports specialty points?"
If not, he really might not be taller than Gu Chenfeng.
Monitor: ...
Help.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a series of "swipe, swipe, swipe"—more than a dozen talisman papers fell on the cabinet in a row!
This speed of progress obviously frightened everyone hiding under the bed. The three boys immediately shut up, lowered their bodies, and looked in the direction of the cabinet nervously.
The broken talisman papers fell to the ground one after another, followed by heavy iron chains rattling. The cabinet was finally fully unsealed.
Immediately afterwards, under the horrified eyes of Gu Chenfeng and others, the two rusty cabinet doors, like the wings of death, suddenly bounced to both sides—
Then it slammed shut again.
It was closed too quickly, before the female ghost could withdraw her hand, it was caught by the cabinet door.
...I don't know if it was their auditory hallucinations, but there seemed to be a curse coming from the cabinet.
What do these mean? Is it over?
Several people are confused. Soon they realized that they were thinking too much.
After a few seconds, the cabinet door opened again. That ghost hand hit the ground heavily.
First the palms, then the withered elbows, shoulders... Some hair hangs down, wet, exuding a strong watery smell.
Gu Chenfeng tensed all over, and suddenly felt that they were still naive—is it really a good idea to hide under the bed? What if the female ghost suddenly lowered her head?
Just thinking about the scene in his head, he felt a thin layer of sweat on his back.
at this moment.
The ghost hand that was on the ground flew away.
…no, not just that hand. The female ghost's whole body flew away—she leaned back in a strange posture, finally climbed out of the cabinet, and then flew back into the cabinet in a particularly neat posture.
The cabinet door slammed shut, as if nothing had happened.
Gu Chenfeng: ...?
Because of the limited angle, he couldn't see the complete picture, so he couldn't help pulling the monitor off: "What's the situation?"
The squad leader shook his head blankly, and the sports committee member next to him said uncertainly: "It looks... like you were beaten?"
Gu Chenfeng: "...Huh?"
"I feel like it anyway. And it's from the chin up—just like that, forward kick, you know?"
As the Sports Commissioner said, he stretched his neck and looked out. The squad leader was shocked, and hurriedly dragged the person back: "Don't look, it's out again!"
Gu Chenfeng looked intently, and found that sure enough, the cabinet door opened again, and the blue-gray hand hit the floor again.
First the hands, then the arms, then the hair...
This time, before the female ghost even showed her shoulders, she fell back again and fell back.
There was a rattling sound from the cabinet. The double doors slammed shut again. students:"…"
"What's the matter?" The study committee couldn't help coming up, and the monitor moved her place. As soon as the school committee settled down, the gray and gray ghost hand fell down again.
As a person who saw this thing for the first time, she took a deep breath, and the next second, she saw the hand pull up——
He took the person with his hands and fell back into the cabinet again.
Academic committee: "..."
She gasped for breath and held it in her trachea, and for a moment she didn't know whether to spit it out or continue to breathe.
"...What's the situation?"
After a moment of silence, she couldn't help asking Gu Chenfeng's question not long ago.
The squad leader copied the sports committee's speech, and said in a firm tone: "It is said that he was being beaten up."
Academic Committee: "...ah? By whom?"
Monitor: "I don't know, I can't see it."
Academic committee: "..."
"What's the matter?" Xiaomi asked anxiously behind him. She and Gu Xiaoya were in the innermost place and couldn't see anything.
The school committee thought for a while, then turned around and replied, "That female ghost was beaten by the air and looked for her teeth all over the floor."
Millet:"???"
"Ah? What?" Gu Xiaoya tugged at Xiaomi. There was too much movement outside, and the school committee's voice was so soft that she didn't hear it.
Xiaomi turned her head, her tone confused: "Say yes... that female ghost is about to be killed by the air?"
Gu Xiaoya: "..."
ha?
In a sense, they're not wrong.
This female ghost was indeed beaten badly, but it wasn't some air, but Xu Tuoran who was far away in another room.
Everything is actually based on a misunderstanding—"this" female ghost, or "these" female ghosts, are actually one consciousness, multiple bodies, one in each cabinet, and their actions are 100% synchronized.
However, Xu Tuoran didn't know about this setting. Like those students, she thought that there was only one female ghost. After seeing a female ghost showing her hand in the cabinet in front of her, she took it for granted that the other party had already set her sights on her, so she went straight into the room and began to feel at ease. .
Back to that question again. At this time, what kind of behavior is considered to be death?
She carefully recalled the enlightenment teaching from Gu Chenfeng, and she soon had the answer.
Then he stepped forward and kindly began to help the female ghost tear up the talisman paper.
—Xu Tuoran thinks so. In normal horror movies, what would the deadly protagonist do when faced with such a banging cabinet? Of course, open it directly. People ask you to hide, but if you don't hide, you will also deliver goods to your door, deliver meals to the entrance, and use a standard death posture.
After tearing up the talisman paper and the chain, there were actually five or six seconds before the end of the hiding time, Xu Tuoran directly opened the cabinet door forcefully.
The moment it was opened, the sound of the death value coming to the account came out again in his mind, and Xu Tuoran was satisfied.
Then, before the female ghost in the closet could react, she got down on the ground again, and closed the closet door for her again.
The female ghost in the closet: ? ? !
Xu Tuoran: ...or what? Could it really make you crawl out?
It turned out that after closing it, it was found that people's fingers were pinched, and the door could not be closed.
Xu Tuoran had no choice but to pick up a talisman paper and stuff it into the opponent's hand. The posture is as skillful as a boss giving a tip to his favorite waitress.
The female ghost didn't dare to accept the tip, she screamed and quickly retracted her hand. As a result, the cupboard door bounced open a little, and Xu Tuoran was about to close it when another reminder sounded in his consciousness...
Xu Tuoran: "...?"
She looked at the cabinet, then at the female ghost in the cabinet, and realized.
Cooperating with the death value of opening the cabinet door can be repeated repeatedly.
Xu vainly, happy.
The subsequent development is almost the same as what Gu Chenfeng saw.
Xu Tuoran found the wealth code, so he simply blocked the door and used the box-opening bug to crazily collect points. Once the female ghost climbed out, she kicked in once. When you get tired from kicking your legs, you can switch to the toilet, and you can swing them like a tiger and a tiger, like a magic weapon for whack-a-mole.
The only thing that makes her uncomfortable is that this death value will decrease with the number of actions. The first time she opened the cabinet door, she got five points, the second time she got four points, and the third time she dropped to two points...
Afterwards, it is continuous "+1+1+1+1..."
After repeating "+1" about ten times, I started adding half and half. In the end, you can only add zero tenths at a time.
Xu vainly said that talking is better than nothing. He planned to wait until the points dropped to zero before letting the female ghost come out, maybe he could get another wave of points - I didn't think I was not paying attention, and three minutes passed.
Because of the synchronous behavior of the female ghosts on the assembly line, after the female ghosts here were blocked, the female ghosts in other rooms also failed to climb out. After being blocked for three minutes, countless hands suddenly stretched out from the depths of the cabinet, grabbed the female ghost's legs tightly, and dragged her into the endless darkness.
The female ghost's face showed strong unwillingness, half of her body had been engulfed by the darkness, her two hands were still pawing and pulling on the ground resolutely, scratching deep marks.
On the other side, Xu Tuoran was also a little uncomfortable.
the reason is simple. She quickly calculated her current death value. In the past three minutes, she had gained a total of 28 points, plus the previous 21 points, which was exactly 49 points.
Xu Turan felt uncomfortable looking left and right, so he squatted down, pondered for a while, and said sincerely: "Sister."
Female ghost: ...? Who are you?
"Please do me a favor, let's make it up." Xu Tuoran thick-skinned, "It's not easy for me to come all the way..."
Female ghost: Is it easy for me to look at?
Xu Tuoran: "I know you are a good person..."
Female ghost: ...I don't think you are human!
Although she didn't understand what Xu Tuoran was saying, an inexplicable anger surged up, and the female ghost started scratching and screaming frantically again. Almost at the same time, another voice sounded in Xu Tuoran's mind—
[Congratulations, you have gained a little death value. 】
[Congratulations, you have accumulated 50 death points and unlocked the reward function—skill points. 】
The author has something to say:
Xu Tuoran: Thank you, sister!
Female Ghost: Get out!
