MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 82
Fox Ornament, Everday, Lamp Grade. It is said that in the unsealed state, it is possible to manipulate the emotions and mental states of others through the link of consciousness, leading to self-harm or injury.
Even after being sealed, it can still subtly affect people's emotions, and it still has a certain degree of danger. But because the same period is too brutal... and it is easy to use, so that its presence in Xu Turan has not been very high.
Because of this, it was rare for Xu Tuoran to look at it carefully like this.
The fox ornament was motionless, as if it were a dead thing.
Xu Tueran stared at it for a moment, then said lightly: "I know you are conscious and can hear me. Next, I will ask you a question. If yes, turn your eyes once. If not, turn your eyes twice."
"Do you understand? Just turn your eyes when you understand."
Fox Ornament: "..."
Xu Tuoran: "Don't pretend to be dead, I know you will roll your eyes."
It remained motionless, steady as a rock.
"Okay." Xu Tueran was silent for two seconds, picked it up, and looked at it over and over in his hands, "Well, there are a total of eight sealing runes on your body..."
Come on, I won't believe your unsealed nonsense.
Fox Ornament thought silently that a certain silly pen was a lesson from the past.
In the next second, Xu Tuoran slammed it down again: "You can choose to continue to pretend to be dead. I just ask. If you fool a question, I will add one more to you. Anyway, there is no space on your body." There are a lot more."
Fox ornament: "..." Gan.
"Alternatively, I can take you out. Tomorrow I plan to go to the hospital to see your legs, let's go together." Xu Turan said leisurely, "That hospital is also the church's activity site, and someone replaces the internal organs there, which means that there must be used for sacrifices. The magic circle..."
"I might as well drop by tomorrow to see if they can put you in the sacrifice position. It just so happens that the domain master is Yong Zhou, and so are you. I think the two of you must have a common language."
Fox Ornament: "..."
"Have you figured it out?" Xu Tuoran propped his hands on the table, "I'll count from one to three. One—"
As soon as he raised his head, he saw the fox's eyeballs twitching crazily, as if they were going to fall off in the next second.
Xu Tuoran: "..."
I just asked you to turn around a little bit, why are you so excited. And why are the left and right eyes turning in different directions?
It's quite a delicate fox face, instantly too wise to look directly at.
She stroked her forehead silently, cleared her throat, and asked, "Have you been on this table all this time?"
The fox ornament calmed down, was silent for a moment, and rolled his eyes.
Xu Tuoran: "But I didn't see you for a while just now."
Fox Ornament: "..."
What Xu Tuoran was referring to was that when the energy body cheated on the corpse earlier, she reached out to touch the fox ornament, but found nothing. After that, she glanced at the table a few times, but she never saw the shadow of the fox ornament until a while later. , just saw it in a corner.
Xu Turan was actually quite concerned about this matter.
First of all, although she is now old, she is sure that her eyesight and memory are fine. There is no possibility of misreading or missing. At that time, there were no decorations on the table.
Secondly, there is the issue of the position of the fox ornament. Xu Tuoran is now using it as a small hammer, specially for beating people. When placed, it will definitely be placed in a place that is convenient to take, and it is impossible to put it in such a corner.
The only possibility is that this fox cub passed by himself. So here comes the question, how did it manage to shift itself silently in an instant?
Stealth? Or teleport?
Xu Tuoran looked at the fox ornament in front of him with great interest. Speaking of which, she had also discovered before that compared to other supernatural props, this fox ornament always seemed to be smoother and more beautiful—especially after each group fight. The most ferocious knife-wielding teddy bear has torn its belly countless times, but this fox cub is always clean and beautiful.
At first, Xu Tuoran only thought that it had a hard shell and an automatic repair function—this seems to be quite common among supernatural props. The teddy bear sewed its stomach by itself, and the pen of the pen fairy occasionally blew up the nib, and it grew slowly by itself.
However, now it seems that this matter is not so simple.
Xu Tuoran placed one hand on the table, tapping on it one after another. Now she realizes that she is very similar to the pig-hoofed emperor in Zhu Tang's Gongdou novels, usually surrounded by a group of yingyingyanyans making a lot of noise, when the yingyingyanyans are gone, hey, she suddenly notices A certain salted fish concubine who doesn't fight or grab.
...It's a pity that the little concubine doesn't seem to want to cooperate very much now. After Xu Tuoran asked the truth about its hiding and moving, he began to play dead again.
Xu Tuoran: "..."
"Let me emphasize one more point." She thought for a while and added, "I am a person who likes to make the best use of everything. If you have a function that is beneficial to me, that's great. If not, then in order to achieve the goal, I can only Trying to develop your other functions."
For example, offering it to the domain master as a sacrifice.
"..." The fox ornament paused for a moment, and finally began to roll its eyes reluctantly.
It responded to Xu Tuoran's question about "Are you invisible?" I rolled my eyes once, then twice, unable to tell whether it was "yes" or "no".
"..." It was rare for Xu Tuoran to miss the pen of the pen fairy. At any rate, it answers all questions and cannot lie. Speak clearly.
The point is, it's very easy to fool.
For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the fox cub didn't know how to answer, or was deliberately confusing the public. But at least judging from its performance, it should have a way to make itself invisible to it temporarily.
Xu Tuoran thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth, and managed to pull himself together, and added another rule in his own country that "non-human beings cannot answer lies". Afterwards, with red eyes, I asked a few more questions about this topic, and gradually gained some confidence in my heart.
Because of using "absolute kingship" again, her spirit is almost at the limit. I struggled to make some records on paper, but finally couldn't stand it anymore and almost fell down on the table.
She took a few deep breaths and struggled to get up. Before the rules were about to be withdrawn, I couldn't help but ask again: "So how did you move to that corner position?"
Fox Ornament: "..."
This question cannot be answered with a blink of an eye. It paused on the spot for two seconds, and gave a demonstration helplessly—it suddenly fell backwards, and then silently rolled to the side, rolling...
Xu Tuoran: "..."
In a sense, you are not easy enough.
After finishing the friendly communication with Fox Ornament, Xu Tuoran was finally able to rest, lying on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
On the other side, around one o'clock in the morning, the eclipse moon came under Xu Tuoran's window again.
He came to deal with the remaining energy body corpses in Xu Tuoran's bathroom, and he had greeted Xu Tuoran before. After all, it is always a hidden danger to pile up those things in the house, so it is better to throw them away as soon as possible.
He knew that the old aunt must be asleep right now, so he thoughtfully didn't go through the door, and rolled in through the transom. When he came out of the bathroom with the corpse on his back, he still accidentally alarmed Xu Tuoran.
I saw the old aunt sitting up from the bed sleepily, staring at Shiyue who was carrying the corpse. After a while, the tense breath finally relaxed.
"Mr. Werewolf." She said vaguely, "I'm sorry to trouble you."
"It's okay, it's okay, just go with it." Shiyue said in a hurry, "I'll be fast, you continue to sleep, don't worry about me."
"...Yes." Xu Tuoran replied in a daze, "By the way, Mr. Werewolf, I have something to ask you."
Eclipse Moon: "?"
"Do you know any smaller shops around here?" Xu Tuoran raised his hand and gestured, "It's about the same size as this room? It's better to be smaller, half the size is the most perfect. The more remote the better. "
Eclipse Moon: "..."
"Yes, there should be." He said uncertainly, recalled quickly, and reported the three shops on this street to Xu Tuoran.
Xu Furan gave a vague "Oh" and fell down again with a plop.
Shiyue froze in place, moved her ears in confusion, and quickly opened the door and went out with the two corpses on her shoulders.
But on the second day, he vaguely seemed to understand why Aunt Zhang asked such a question.
That was around eight or nine o'clock in the morning. Wrapped in a coat, he sneaked through an alley, surrounded by a few stray dogs, and happened to pass by one of the shops.
I saw that the door of the shop was wide open at the moment, but the people who came in and out were not customers, but security personnel in uniform.
Security personnel are equivalent to the police in this domain. The essence is energy body. They set up a cordon around the shop, all with serious expressions.
Shiyue watched in the dark for a while with a dazed expression, then secretly called a stray dog to ask a few questions, thought for a while, then turned around and climbed onto the roof, and ran all the way towards Xu Tuoran's residence.
During the day, he didn't dare to use the elevator recklessly, and still climbed in along the transom. Just after entering the toilet, I heard the sound of crying from the room, cautiously poked my head out, and saw Xu Tuoran sitting on the sofa wiping tears.
He coughed, greeted Xu Tuoran with some embarrassment, went in and found an open space to sit down, tentatively talked about what he had seen and heard before, halfway through, his eyes fell on the table next to Xu Tuoran, and his words suddenly stopped.
On the table, there were two pieces of silver paper spread out. In the middle of the paper, there is a fox ornament and a code scanner.
...To be precise, it is a machine like a code scanner. The kind that can modify points.
Shiyue opened her mouth slightly, pointed at the machine, then pointed at Xu Tuoran, and it took a long time to find her voice: "That, what, auntie, that machine..."
"Well, I came back." Xu Tuoran threw down the tissue.
She cried so much these two days that her eyes were swollen.
Eclipse Moon: "...from where?"
"In the store you mentioned." Xu Tuoran said, "I woke up early today on purpose. I went to each of the three stores you mentioned. I compared them, and the one that was the closest It was suitable to start, so I found an opportunity and stole this thing back."
Eclipse Moon: "..."
"So, it was just stolen, right." He seemed relieved, "So it was the thing that was lost. No wonder the security personnel reacted so strongly, the battle was like murder..."
"When I left, I found that there was an energy body clerk in their store, so I took care of it." Xu Tuoran slowly finished the second half of the sentence.
...so it really was murder.
Shiyue abruptly stopped talking, raised her hind foot and scratched her neck.
He was actually quite curious about how this aunt distinguished between the energy body and the conscious body. He is very hard at this aspect, unless the opponent takes the initiative to attack him or accidentally vents his breath, it is difficult for him to identify.
"Probably." Xu Tuoran was very tired at the moment, and didn't want to talk about it.
After all, it is not an easy task to obtain such a machine. Especially the fox cub's ability can't help much - it can indeed create a short-term invisibility effect, but it is impossible to hide a man as big as Xu Tuoran in a sealed state.
Xu vainly can only support himself. First, freeze the camera at a certain distance, then approach the store and circle the country. After following the two rules of "unless I take the initiative to talk, no one can pay attention to my existence" and "everyone who enters the store is regarded as a clerk. The clerk can enter the front desk at will", and successfully sneaked into the front desk under everyone's noses , took away the scanner.
When I left, I happened to see the clerk played by the energy body. Without doing anything, he stabbed the person with an ice pick. It's a pity that time was urgent and she didn't have time to take the other party's ID card. You can only leave quickly before others find out.
Making use of "absolute kingship" to formulate rules requires physical exertion. She is not in good health now. After such a toss, it would be nice to have the strength to return to her residence. She has no energy to do anything else for the time being, so she has been resting until now.
Eclipse Moon: "..."
"No wonder, when I came here, I heard a puppy saying that he saw someone crying while going upstairs..." He didn't know what expression to put on for a moment, and after a pause, he said, "But auntie, it's useless for you to hold this thing what."
He tried it before. There is an identification code set on this thing, and if it doesn't meet the requirements, it won't work at all.
"Whether you can use it or not will be discussed later after you have tried it." Xu Tuoran said indifferently, "But I have to wait for a while before I rest."
Eclipse Moon: "..."
He guessed that this aunt should have some unique ability, so he didn't ask any more questions tactfully. Thinking about coming, he asked if he would like to carry the two corpses along the way, but just as he made a sound, he heard a knock on the door.
"Hello, we are security personnel." A stiff voice came from outside the door, "Is Zhang Baixue at home? We have a question for you."
! !
Shiyue was stunned for a moment, and immediately bared her fangs. Xu Turan waved his hand at him, pointed to the open wardrobe door next to him, and signaled him to hide in.
Eclipse Moon: "...It's not safe, is it? What if someone finds out?"
He has come into contact with security personnel, and they are the most capable group in the energy body. And his current identity is a wanted monster!
"If you find out, silence them all." Xu Tuoran said indifferently, wrapped up the silver paper on the table, wrapped it into a big paper ball, and wrapped it in his coat.
Her coat is thick and puffy in itself. Hide the ball of paper in it, you can't see it at all.
Shiyue struggled for a while, but chose to hide in the toilet. First, there is a transom there, so you can run from there if you can't. Secondly, he has been a little anxious recently, and his hair is shedding a lot, so he is not suitable for entering the closet.
He quickly closed the toilet door, put his ears on the door, and heard the room door open in the next second.
"Zhang Baixue, right?" The person outside the door said unceremoniously, "A murder case happened this morning. We have some questions to ask you."
In the room, the aunt replied indifferently, and took a deep breath. Shiyue's heart was suspended, and then he heard the leading security officer start to ask questions. The questions were nothing more than where and what were you doing when the crime happened. Although the questions were all normal, even he could hear the hostility in the words .
No wonder... Shiyue silently thought that the death of an energy body is not a big deal. What they care about is the machine that can transfer value points.
They were worried that the thing was taken away by the capable person. That's why they approached "Zhang Baixue" without evidence.
But... since there is no conclusive evidence, the problem shouldn't be too big, right? After all, they are set up as "security personnel", so they still have to talk about some rules...
Shiyue thought uncertainly, and pressed closer to the door.
He followed closely, but the man said: "Zhang Baixue, we need to search you now, please cooperate."
Followed by a sound of groping. Then: "What's that in your coat?"
coat?
Shiyue's ears moved, thinking of the silver paper ball that Aunt Zhang hid in her coat, her heart skipped a beat.
The point is not the ball of paper. It's something wrapped in a ball of paper.
But that kind of silver colored paper is a deterrent to the abominations. They shouldn't dare to touch...
"Open it."
Before Shiyue could clear his mind, he heard the man say again: "Open it now. If you don't cooperate, we will think you are obstructing official business."
... Gan! Too much!
Shiyue's heart hung up again, and his ears were raised high. With his excellent hearing, he could hear Aunt Zhang answering slowly, and then, in front of those people outside the door, she pushed aside the rolled up paper bit by bit.
Then there was a silence.
...so what? ?
Shiyue was so anxious that she wanted to scratch the wall, and she had the thought of opening the door to peek. Just when he was about to stick his whole body against the toilet door, he finally heard a voice outside the door again.
"Did you see clearly? There's nothing there." Aunt Zhang's voice was hoarse and crying, "If you didn't see clearly, why don't you get closer—"
"Hey, what are you doing! Take it away, take it away!" The security officer in the lead yelled in a panic, accompanied by the sound of backing footsteps. Shiyue was silent for a moment, and probably imagined the scene outside the door.
That auntie...don't be holding a silver colored paper and slapping someone in the face...
Shiyue was stunned by the picture in his mind for two seconds, and after being stunned, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don't know what's going on. But the aunt disappeared the machine wrapped in silver colored paper. This might be a good...
Security personnel: "Okay, put away the things in your hands!"
Security officer: "Please step aside, we are going to search your room now!"
Eclipse Moon: "..." What a fart.
Serious law enforcement officers, how can they search when they say so? Shiyue took a few steps back vigilantly, turned her head to look at the transom behind her, and wanted to escape, but in a blink of an eye saw the remaining two corpses hidden in the shower room, and found it quite difficult.
On the other side, Aunt Zhang calmly raised the same question: "You are just here to ask questions. There is no reason to search my room, right?"
The security personnel outside the door only snorted hostilely, and the words with unknown meaning came: "Your existence itself is the reason."
"So, it's because I'm afraid of us." Aunt Zhang seemed to smile, and there was a sound of footsteps moving from the door of the room, "Okay, come in and search."
"But I said it up front."
Fragmentary footsteps had just entered the house, and stopped instantly because of Aunt Zhang's words.
In the silence, Zhang Baixue's calm and understated words clearly entered Shiyue's ears.
"Whether you want to come in or not is up to you. Whether you can go out through this door or not is up to you."
…
Shiyue, who was lying on the toilet door to eavesdrop, was startled, and what Xu Tuoran had said before unexpectedly passed through his mind:
"When you find out, kill them all."
…He swallowed unconsciously, and the ears on his head drooped unconsciously.
It's agreed...the high-level life is the Virgin Mary?
At the same time, at the entrance outside the door. The security personnel who were about to enter the house also seemed to be stunned by Xu Tuoran's words, and they didn't respond for a while.
Just at this moment, the elevator door opened again, and another voice came out: "Captain, there was another accident on the other side of the bridge. Two groups of people gathered to fight! Also on the side of the new district, another person was seriously injured. The murderer was photographed..."
That sounds like a lot of headaches. The leader of the security team seemed to have finally found the steps, said to Xu Tuoran with a sullen face, "I'll come to you next time" and left in a hurry.
The sound of footsteps soon faded away, and then the sound of the elevator starting again. The door of the room was closed, Shiyue breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the toilet door and came out:
"Scared me to death. Auntie, you are really good at bluffing people."
"What's bluffing, I don't understand." Xu Tuoran opened the curtains and looked out, frowning slightly, "It's best to follow up and take a look. I doubt they will ask other capable users for questioning."
"No rush. All the stray dogs in the sub-district are my eyeliner." Shiyue said firmly, and looked in Xu Tuoran's direction curiously, just as she took out a bunch of things from her pocket, " Auntie, what is in your paper..."
"Oh. This." Xu Tuoran unfolded the silver colored paper in front of him again. I saw that it was the small machine that could modify the points inside.
There is also a fox ornament next to it.
"This abominable object can be invisible for a short time. By the way, it can also cover the small items next to it." Xu Tuoran said indifferently, "It's a double insurance."
To grab a machine that can modify points, this was a decision made yesterday. But how to hide this machine so that it will not be searched is a problem for Xu Tuoran. And the newly excavated fox cub gave her some ideas.
—She was not sure if those so-called "security personnel" would take her away directly, so the first reaction when faced with questioning was to hide things on her body. The silver colored paper itself is a deterrent to the abominations, and once they open the paper, the fox cub will definitely choose to hide in order to protect itself.
And according to yesterday's questioning, the fox's invisibility is actually very unreliable. First, it cannot cover large objects, and second, it cannot withstand careful observation.
In order to avoid frequent lingering of other people's eyes, it can only be hidden together with the small machine next to it. Coupled with the intimidating power of the silver colored paper itself, it should not be difficult to deceive people.
...Of course, these are Xu Tuoran's conjectures. The moment the other party asked her to open the silver-colored paper, she was actually a little apprehensive.
Shiyue listened half-understood, and couldn't help moving her ears: "But Auntie, what if you guessed wrong?"
"That can't be helped." Xu Tuoran sighed, and slowly took the machine in his hand to observe, "I can only silence it."
Eclipse Moon: "..."
He froze for a moment, and a trace of remorse appeared in his heart.
Why am I asking this question?
He silently thought, the answer is already so obvious, isn't it?
He sighed secretly, sat down on the spot, looked at the machine in Xu Tuoran's hand, and tilted his head: "If this thing can't be used, then this trip will be a big loss."
"It's not a loss. Thinking on the bright side, at least we will be able to determine the location of other capable users in the future." Xu Tuoran said, "Besides, they are so nervous about this thing, which shows that it must be useful."
The only problem is the identification code...
Xu Tuoran exhaled lightly, and took out a roll of tissues in front of him with great experience.
Then he calmly said: "I declare that the identification code is invalid here."
The voice is not loud, but it carries an unquestionable majesty. Shiyue listened blankly, and when she realized it, she realized that she had lowered her upper body unknowingly.
...What kind of ability is this?
Is it so cool? !
The eclipse moon was shocked on the spot for a moment, and I felt that since I met this aunt, my cognition seemed to be refreshed all the time.
This may be the feeling of hugging the thigh in the legend... He thought so, and raised his head in awe.
Then he was so frightened that he yelled out on the spot.
I saw Xu Tuoran lying on the sofa covering his chest, with his mouth slightly open, and there were eight words written all over his face-difficulty breathing, my aunt is going to die.
Shiyue was so frightened, she hurried up to help her, but Xu Tuan waved her open.
"Try...this." She said with difficulty, handing the machine to Shiyue with red eyes. Shiyue took it in a hurry, took out her ID card in a hurry, and pressed it—
There was a "beep".
A point was deducted from his card.
At the same time, the LCD screen on the back of the machine jumped, showing that the storage capacity of the value increased by one.
Eclipse Moon: "..."
His brain was spinning quickly, and without being surprised, he hurriedly studied the operation of this machine - there are two buttons in total, the one he just pressed was the extraction button, so the other one should be used to add points...
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed from his head. He immediately turned to look at Xu Tuoran.
"Auntie, wait a minute, auntie." He said, looking around, fumbling in Xu Tuoran's pocket, and finally found out Xu Tuoran's ID card.
Then he quickly extracted ten points from his own card, and added all of them to Xu Tuoran's "HP" column—
Xu Tuoran took a sharp breath, and his expression gradually eased.
"...Thank you." She paused for a few seconds, then pulled out a tissue to wipe away the tears all over her face, "Fortunately, you reacted quickly enough."
Otherwise, she can only stop the rules urgently and try again next time.
"It's all right. Auntie, as long as you are still here." Shiyue was still a little ignorant, and he didn't regret his behavior of marking out ten o'clock—he was not stupid. He can't use active skills in the domain now, but Aunt Zhang can. That must be to protect her first at all costs.
Not to mention, at times like this, mutual help is what it should be.
"It's just that this machine..." He looked at the machine in his hand, still feeling full of disbelief. Xu Tuoran exhaled and pointed to the table where the sundries were placed.
"I'll explain to you later. There's a drawer under the table. Open it yourself."
Eclipse Moon: "..."
He nodded blankly, opened the drawer as he said, and was taken aback again.
I saw a storage box inside.
The box was full of ID cards.
"It's all picked up before. You can add it to your card." Xu Tuoran nestled on the sofa, wiping the unstoppable tears, "And my card..."
"Understood." Shiyue nodded clearly, "Auntie, just wait, I'll fill you up right away!"
Xu Tuoran: "..."
"No, no need to add!" Seeing that he really wanted to "full up" himself first, Xu Tuoran hurriedly said, "I just want to lower the value a bit! Eh, eh, don't add it yet—"
Eclipse Moon: "..."
Eh? What?
