What’s Wrong With Seeking Death? - Chapter 125
Xu Tuoran was a little surprised that Pu Han could be promoted to Chen rank at this time.
She still remembered that when she first got the news that the other party had hit the Chen level, she had just cleaned up the haunted house No. 71. This speed is definitely fast for ordinary people.
She didn’t bother to send a message slowly, so she just made a phone call. While typing, I was tidying up the room. By the time everything was finalized, almost an hour had passed.
What Pu Han meant was that he should be able to find a Changyechen-level domain now, but it is best to participate in person, so he chose a place and hoped to meet Xu Tuoran tomorrow. The location was not near the Tzu Chi Temple, and Xu Tuoran didn’t know how he, a baby who was known to be mentally ill, could sneak out, but no matter what, he agreed first.
After the discussion, Xu Tuoran hung up the phone, bought the ticket, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and squinted for an hour, then opened them abruptly amidst the urging sound of the alarm.
The little pink flowers in the vase are shaking the leaves by themselves. Seeing Xu Tuoran woke up, he was very happy and waved the leaves at her. Xu Tuoran nodded as a promise, took care of it briefly, put away the room card and walked out the door. After thinking for a while, he opened the door and came back, picked up Xiao Fenhua and put it in his pocket.
“Be quiet, don’t let people find out.” She whispered as she closed the door, Xiao Fenhua tucked into her breast pocket, and nodded very seriously.
Xu Furan touched it with his index finger in praise, turned around and went downstairs quickly, all the way to the small flower bed downstairs, in the dark night, he could only see the silhouettes of large groups of plants swaying gently in the wind, and he didn’t see anyone.
Fortunately, she specially put on a little pink flower before going out. The latter carefully poked out the small flower buds, sniffed left and right in the air, quickly determined a direction, and swayed the leaves straight at Xu Tuoran. Xu Tuoran followed the directions all the way to find it, and saw a familiar figure squatting in another small flower bed in the corner of the garden, as if he was observing something seriously.
Small floor lamps are hidden among the plants in the flower beds. The green shimmer hit his face, adding a strange seriousness to this seriousness.
Xu Tuoran tilted his head in confusion, looked around, took advantage of no one, and quickly circled a small piece of land, Fang said inexplicably:
“What are you doing here?”
Yang Buqi, who was staring at the dirt, turned his head suddenly, only then noticed Xu Tuoran who was walking slowly, and hurriedly stood up:
“How do you…”
“Someone greeted me in advance.” Xu Tuoran folded his arms, “So why did you come here? Did something happen to the camphor forest?”
“…That’s not true.” Yang Buqi’s eyes wandered for a moment, “It’s me, um…”
Xu Tuoran: “?”
“I found something, good news.” Yang Buqi coughed, “I didn’t know my mind at the time, and I came out after saying hello to the domain owner. But I realized that it seems inappropriate to come to you now… “
“You mean, you found a good thing and couldn’t wait to share it with me, so you came here?” Xu Tuoran raised his eyebrows, “How do you know I’m here?”
“A kind of premonition.” Yang Buqi didn’t know how to explain it, “My premonition has actually reached the level of Hui.”
The upgraded “Prophet” skill has a directional divination ability similar to Fang Ke’s. Coupled with his vague perception of the little pink flower, the combination of the two can basically determine whether Xu Tuoran has left the surrounding area—and there is only this hotel nearby.
If you continue to make further judgments, it is not difficult to find the exact location of Xu Tuoran. However, Yang Buqi felt that it would be impolite to visit without saying hello at such a late hour, and when he got near the hotel, his mind calmed down, so he thought it would be better to leave a message and leave.
“…”
Xu Tueran looked at him with silly eyes, thought for a while and asked, “…how did you manage to come all the way without being noticed?”
It takes at least one kilometer from Greenland Park to here
“…I still use the predictive ability.” Yang Buqi was a little embarrassed, “I can roughly judge which route is better… Just find a way to avoid the crowd.”
Of course, it couldn’t be avoided completely. For example, when he just came out of the camphor forest, he ran into Zhu Tang, Shu Xiaopei and the others.
“Zhu Tang?” Xu Tuoran was startled, “Why is she still there?”
“They said they wanted to take advantage of the last night to look for the legendary puppet bear.” Yang Buqi scratched his face, apparently he didn’t quite understand their behavior.
Xu Turan understood it. To be honest, I’m afraid it’s my fault.
At that time, before entering the camphor forest, she specially left a message to Zhu Tang and others as a warning because she felt that the great white bear was weird. This will naturally cause them to pay special attention to this thing. And when she was in the park today, she also heard them mention that the people in the Charity House seemed to be evacuating soon…
According to Zhu Tang’s not afraid of death and full of curiosity, he must seize the last chance and try to figure out these things.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but feel a little worried about the fate of a certain great pyrene who fished tonight. Yang Buqi seemed to remember something, and reached out to feel in his pocket.
“By the way, she asked me to give you something.”
“Things?” Xu Tuoran was startled again, “What’s going on? Why would she think you’re coming to find me?”
“Well… she said she guessed.” Yang Buqi said, and took out something.
Regarding Zhu Tang’s behavior, he was really confused. After bumping into the three of them accidentally, he thought it would be inevitable to flee again, but the other party said calmly that the Tzu Chi Institute had changed its order, and there was no need for them to hunt down Yang Buqi. What was even more strange was that Zhu Tang was about to leave, but suddenly turned back and asked him seriously if he was going to find Xu Tuoran.
Seeing her serious face, Yang Buqi thought it was something important, so he nodded truthfully. Then Zhu Tang took a cartoon bracelet from his wrist and handed it to him.
“Actually, I have prepared a new one for Xu Tuoran. But I don’t know when I will have the chance to give it to her, so let’s give this to her first.” Zhu Tang touched his wrist with tiny scales, and after a moment of silence, he made up his mind again. He looked up determinedly.
“Also, please bring a message to her. I don’t know what she is busy with, but if she needs help, she can come to the group to shake people at any time. If you want, we can hang out together next time. Miss it once Comic show doesn’t matter, just don’t miss people.”
… After saying this, she seemed to be very ashamed, and ran away embarrassedly while fanning the wind with her palm. After thinking about it and coming back, I sincerely suggest that Yang Buqi reorganize his language when relaying, don’t look so hypocritical, and just convey the general meaning.
As for why he thought Yang Buqi was going to Xu Tuoran, Zhu Tang also had his own reasons—
“At night, you sneak out alone. It feels like you’re going to find her.”
It seems to explain something, and it seems to slander something.
Yang Buqi was confused, and Xu Tuoran who heard the report was also puzzled. She took what Yang Buqi handed over, looked at it by the light of the floor lamp, and saw that it was a plastic wrist, the candy-like gradient color was very cute. On the wristband, in addition to the lively cartoon head, there is also a string of letters printed on it.
“COM…” Xu Tuoran unskillfully identified the words above, “What do you mean?”
“It should be the abbreviation of Comic Exhibition.” Yang Buqi said, “This looks like a commemorative bracelet.”
“Oh…” Xu Tuoran nodded suddenly, and carefully put the bracelet in his pocket.
Her mood has obviously improved a lot, and even the breath around her body has become softer—but the gaze she looks at Yang Buqi is still as if she is looking at a fool.
“Then why didn’t you go upstairs just now.” She looked up at Yang Buqi, “You promised Zhu Tang.”
Yang Buqi: “I know…well, so I just wanted to plant a tree here.”
Xu Tuoran: “?”
“Plant a tree, and then hide all the things and messages in the trunk. When you are about to leave the hotel, Xiaohua will definitely be able to sense it.” Yang Buqi gestured to Xu Tuoran seriously, “And wait for you When you get close to this tree, it will give you everything. Then it will wither, ashes, and die in place. It will not leave a trace.”
Xu Tuoran: “…”
“Wow.” After a pause for a few seconds, she said blankly, “Oh, awesome.”
She looked around and folded her arms: “So it was your predictive ability that reminded you not to go upstairs?”
“…No, it didn’t respond.” Yang Buqi choked for a moment, “I just don’t think it’s too good…”
Xu Tuoran: “Then it doesn’t respond now?”
Yang Buqi: “…um.”
In fact, the reaction is still a bit. He felt his heart speeding up, and waves of heat rushed to the tips of his ears. But he felt that this should have nothing to do with precognition.
Xu Tuoran: “Then do you want to wait for it to respond before deciding whether to go upstairs with me?”
“…” Yang Buqi didn’t react for a moment, “Huh?”
Xu Tuoran shook his head, turned around and walked back, walked a few steps, turned his head to see Yang Buqi still standing in the same place at a loss, and couldn’t help sighing.
“I mean, come here. I’ll take you up.” She said angrily, and Yang Buqi straightened up as if he had just woken up from a dream, and quickly stepped on the dirt next to him twice, and followed The little flower pot ran all the way.
With the help of the floor lamp in the small flower bed, Xu Tueran clearly saw thin green branches sprouting from him while running, so he couldn’t help raising his eyebrows: “What is that on your body?”
“It’s okay, don’t worry about it.” Yang Buqi coughed, quickly tore them off his body, and stuffed them into his pockets in lumps.
Xu Tuoran: “?”
“These things… are not very stable.” Yang Buqi smiled sheepishly, “They can’t stay in the area where ordinary people are active, and they may cause negative effects.”
“…All right.” Xu Tuoran pursed his lips, turned around and continued walking towards the hotel building.
The hotel was brightly lit, and it was a little troublesome to take Yang Buqi upstairs in concealment.
Xu Tuoran simply stopped hiding, and went wherever he went. Taking advantage of her status as queen, she grandly took Yang Buqi to the elevator, and then led her all the way to her room. The moment the door was opened, the little pink flower sitting on the shoulder immediately let out a silent cheer, and nimbly climbed off her body, holding the leaves and running towards the vase.
Xu Tuoran told him to be careful and ignored it. Yang Buqi, who was following her, cautiously moved into the room, noticed the two bottles of mineral water next to the vase, and was obviously taken aback.
“Is there anyone else in your room?”
“Principal Shangguan came tonight.” Xu Tuoran didn’t look back, “discussed some things with her.”
Yang Buqi nodded resolutely, took out a paper towel, lowered his head to examine his small flower pot carefully, and wiped off the mud stains on it.
On the other side of the room, Xu Tuoran opened the inner compartment of the backpack, put the bracelet Zhu Tang gave him very cherished, and then turned to look at Yang Buqi: “So you found something good?”
Yang Buqi paused when he wiped the flowerpot, and then straightened up nervously.
“It’s about my body.” He took a deep breath, “I couldn’t be sure before, so I didn’t tell you. But after you left today, I’m sure. My state is probably in good condition…! “
With a look of shock on his face, he pulled off the lifted shirt: “What are you doing?!”
“Look at your body.” Xu Tuoran took it for granted, and lifted up his shirt again, “I couldn’t see clearly just now because of the bad light… Did the bark on your waist decrease a bit?”
Yang Buqi: “…”
Xu Tuoran observed it again and was sure that he was right. Originally, half of Yang Buqi’s waistline was down to the bark, but now, this position has dropped to a point above the hip bone.
Moreover, the skin that was once covered with bark has a very obvious color difference compared with ordinary skin, and it is a degree whiter. feel too…
“Don’t touch there!” Yang Buqi yelled on the spot the moment her finger touched it. Shouting and dodging to the side, he tore off his clothes in a panic, his ears and cheeks were burning red.
“Just…that’s what you said anyway.” He straightened his clothes, waited a few seconds before speaking again, and changed the subject back, “The part of me that belongs to the monster is fading downward. I think this may mean that , I can change… change back.”
Even if it cannot be transformed back into a human being in essence. At least there is still a chance for his appearance to return to a more normal level-this is enough for Yang Buqi.
“This is a good thing.” Xu Tuoran widened his eyes slightly, and then clapped his hands, “Just wait, I’ll send Pu Han a message right away!”
“En. Thank you.” Seeing her like this, Yang Buqi was also relieved, “I was still worried…”
“What are you worried about? Worrying about disturbing me? Worrying that I don’t care?” Xu Tuoran pointed his fingers like flying, without raising his head, “If I didn’t care, I wouldn’t have come all the way here just because of a clue. How are you?”
Yang Buqi’s expression paused, and the ears and cheeks that had cooled down just now rose again, and the next second, he heard Xu Tuoran say:
“I won’t run down after hearing Principal Shangguan say that you might appear in the flower bed.”
She put the phone aside and exhaled softly: “Actually, what she said was that she might find a boyfriend after going down, but I think it’s about the same.”
“…”
Yang Buqi was stunned. For a moment, he didn’t know if he heard it wrong, or if there was something wrong with the operation of the whole world.
Not long ago, he felt that he had just regained the feeling of being a human being, and now he felt in a daze that he had become a big tree again. But at this moment, his entire tree was stuffed into the fire, surrounded by scorching heat, accompanied by loud crackling sounds, the world around him was distorted for a moment, making people feel unreal.
It took him a while to find his own voice, hesitantly wanted to speak, but he didn’t dare to open his mouth, as if something would slip away from his body—just at this moment, Xu Tuoran spoke again.
“You…do you want to take care of it first?” She stared at Yang Buqi for a moment, and couldn’t help but said, “There are so many branches, can you still fit them in your pocket?”
…?
? ? ? !
When his thoughts came back, Yang Buqi noticed that his trunk started to sprout twigs and buds again. He froze for a moment, then hurriedly picked them up and put them away one by one. After pulling them out, he forced himself to calm down. After a moment of relaxation, he gathered enough courage to look up at Xu Tuoran.
“You…” He pursed his lips, only to feel that the figure in front of him gradually overlapped with the shadow that he glimpsed in the homestay at the beginning, the same pair of eyes were so bright that they seemed to be hidden in stars, so bright that people dare not look directly at them. I don’t want to look away.
“Can you…can you wait for me any longer?”
He clenched his fingers tightly, and finally finished the remaining words slowly: “You can set a deadline. I will work hard within this deadline—in short, if I really fully recover, I hope you can give me a chance.
“There are some things I want to tell you seriously.”
“…”
Xu Tuoran looked at him thoughtfully: “There are some things that you know I don’t care about.”
“I care.” Yang Buqi said, “You deserve the best.”
Xu Tuoran: “…”
She turned her head and stared at Yang Buqi for a moment, then exhaled lightly: “Honestly, I don’t care what I’m waiting for. After all, I have other things to do next. But your thought makes me a little angry.” Big.”
She sat back on the edge of the bed, clapped her hands on the soft bed, and made a deep depression: “Do you know, actually, Principal Shangguan once gave me another prophecy.”
Yang Buqi: “?”
“She asked me to be gentle.” Xu Tuoran automatically translated Principal Shangguan’s message in his mind, “I didn’t understand what she meant, but now I probably understand.”
Yang Buqi: “??”
“Do you want to beat me up now?” He paused for a few seconds before realizing Xu Tuoran’s words. The latter only glanced at him, then turned his head and patted the bed lightly: “Frankly speaking, if I hadn’t been very tired today and would have to catch the morning train tomorrow, I would have already thrown you outside.”
Yang Buqi: “…”
“Accordingly, I decided to deprive you of the right to sleep on the sofa.” Xu Tuoran clapped his hands and stood up. Yang Buqi looked at the double bed behind her, his breath stagnated involuntarily: “You mean…”
“The floor or the bathtub. You choose one yourself.” Xu Tuoran said lightly, “If you plan to sleep on the floor, I can lend you the newly bought tablecloth.”
Yang Buqi: “…” Okay, it doesn’t seem too bad.
If you really want to say, the atmosphere among them is actually a bit strange now. But he didn’t offer to leave, and Xu Tuoran didn’t mention it either. They seem to have forgotten that there is such an option besides the floor and the bathtub. Or they all know it, but no one wants to take the initiative to mention it.
Yang Buqi consciously dragged out the used tablecloth from the corner of the wall, turned the rune-painted side over, and laid it flat on the floor. Halfway through the shop, he suddenly said, “I like you.”
Xu Tuoran paused while swiping his phone, while Yang Buqi maintained a sideways posture towards her, his eyes fixed on the small flowers on the tablecloth, his voice was not loud, but his tone was firm: “I like you very, very much. “
Xu Tuoran: “…”
“Yeah.” She stared at the phone intently, “Come and talk to me when you have figured out the next link, you stupid guy.”
Yang Buqi lowered his eyes. Xu Turan seemed to smile when he heard him. She didn’t pay much attention to it, and after reconfirming the meeting time and place with Pu Han on her mobile phone, she pursed her lips and turned off the light in the room.
On the TV cabinet opposite, the little pink flower stuck in a vase planned to wave its leaves at her before going to bed, but unexpectedly the darkness fell so quickly, she couldn’t help being startled, and the whole flower wilted.
Yang Buqi obviously didn’t expect this, but it didn’t affect him much. His physique is already good, but after his body is alienated, it becomes even better, and he doesn’t need any warmth, he just needs to lie down lightly.
His eyes closed, his thoughts sank, and without much effort, he fell asleep smoothly.
In the dream, there is a corridor that circulates in the starry sky, and there is a black rabbit that is not easy to mess with.
Yang Buqi didn’t know what was going on with the black rabbit. Although it didn’t have a good temper before, after it turned into such a bad appearance that was neither human nor ghost, its violent temper obviously went up to a higher level. Every time it went in by itself, it would guide itself ferociously.
Today, for some reason, its temper is even worse, and it is extremely irritable. Almost as soon as he saw himself, he stomped his feet, shaking the ground.
“…” Yang Buqi rolled his throat, looked at it nervously, then looked down at the small flower pot on his feet, smiled as friendly as possible, and turned his attention to In the corridor ahead.
He walked all the way forward, and the rabbit jumped all the way behind. Sometimes when it got close, it would kick him twice—it seemed to know how to control it, and didn’t kick him out directly. But it still hurts.
Yang Buqi was forced by it to keep speeding up his pace, and in the end he almost started to run, and the little flower pots on his feet danced so that they flew up. It was as if what followed behind him was not a rabbit, but a big kangaroo full of abs. The kind that can send someone away with one punch.
He finally heard another “boom” sound behind him, and then he stopped, panting and looking at the door next to him.
“Is this the one…”
At this time, his level in foresight is already at the top of the Hui level, and the next step is to open the door of the Chen level. Strange to say, the advantage of his upgrade is not obvious in reality, but within this upgrade space, the improvement is huge.
The most obvious point is that his behavior in the Corridor of Precognition has become smoother. Those runes on the door that seemed incomprehensible to him gradually became clearer in his eyes, and the interpretation and restoration became much smoother.
Just like the Chen-level gate you are facing at this moment. In the past, he didn’t know how much effort he would have to spend to completely decipher the pattern on the door, but tonight it was indeed very smooth, and he had already unraveled most of it very quickly.
And just when he was about to continue to untangle, the sound of “dongdong” urged by the rabbit next to him suddenly stopped. Yang Buqi’s back shivered, some inexplicable premonition arose in his heart, he turned his head and was about to say something, when he saw the black rabbit jumped up from the ground, like a black fluffy cannonball, He hit himself hard—
“my God!”
Yang Buqi opened his eyes in shock, only to feel that the strange pain of being beaten by a rabbit still remained in his body.
However, he only took a few breaths, and suddenly felt something was wrong, and turned his head to look at the bed.
“Xu Turan?”
Sensing keenly that Xu Tuoran’s breath was not right, he tentatively called out twice. He didn’t get a response, so he quickly got up from the ground, and was about to lift his foot to walk over, but seemed to realize something, hurriedly took it back, and then picked up a bag of nursing pads from the sofa next to him, opened it and took out a piece of pads in front of him. Step on it carefully.
There is something to step on, whether it is dirt or sound, it is not a problem for the time being. He stepped on the mat all the way, and when he saw Xu Tuoran lying on the bed, his brows frowned even tighter.
At this moment, Xu Tuoran frowned and looked tense, as if he was dreaming of something unpleasant.
As if he understood something, he carefully raised Xu Tuoran’s exposed arm. Sure enough, the runes on it were much dimmer.
