What’s Wrong With Seeking Death? - Chapter 129
Pu Han noticed the cat after Xu Tuoran.
At first he didn’t feel that something was wrong, but he was instinctively disgusted with the cat. Until he adjusted his posture slightly and saw the cat’s eyes.
…uncomfortable.
This is his first reaction.
Indescribably uncomfortable, like a glow on the back. Strangeness and horror are another aspect, and he didn’t know why, the moment he met those empty cat eyes, he felt an extra sense of repulsion and disgust in his heart.
This feeling is not due to fear, but more like the feeling of being offended after being spied on too much-although saying “snooping” to a cat without eyes seems to be offensive in itself.
No matter what, Pu Han chose to look away immediately. Not only that, he also raised the crushed soda can in his hand, trying to see if he could send the cat away directly.
Who would have thought that before he had time to move, he suddenly heard a “click”.
Pu Han: “…?”
He turned his head in surprise, only to see Xu Tuoran snapping his fingers at the glass wall solemnly.
Pat, clack, clatter, and spray small ice flowers from between the fingers while beating.
Pu Han: “…”
…? ?
The point is that she snapped her fingers endlessly, if she didn’t look normal in her eyes, Pu Han would have thought she was being haunted by that weird cat.
He thought for a moment, and could only give a tentative reminder that it was not time for rehearsals—considering their current identities, he had reason to suspect that Xu Tuoran planned to go on stage and sing “Letitgo” at that time.
What he didn’t expect was that when these words came out, Xu Tueran snapped his fingers to stop hitting, and the way he looked at himself became strange.
However, before Pu Han could explain to herself, she stood up again and walked towards the glass wall. After walking over, he continued to touch the wall with his hands.
…? ? ?
“What are you doing again?” Pu Han was confused again. This time Xu Tuoran answered simply: “I’m going to try.”
Pu Han:?
“As it is said on the Internet, kidnapping instead of buying.” Xu Tuoran was serious.
After repeated tests just now, she has basically confirmed that the increased death value is because of the pupilless white cat. And stable above 200, it will be slightly superimposed due to repeated provocations.
Most importantly, there are no side effects, and the trigger is very simple. Isn’t that better than some “educator”?
Xu Turan really thought it would be nice to have one to keep by her side. Anyway, she must use her ability to fight monsters. Two hundred or two hundred is not equal to giving it away for nothing.
It’s a pity that Xu Tuoran’s simple kidnapping plan failed in the end—the white cat disappeared before she could find a way out.
No one saw how it moved. But with the wrong eye, he ran away without a trace.
Even though he had successfully obtained a total of more than 1,200 death points from the other party, Xu Tueran still couldn’t help but feel a little pity. And just as she was about to leave in front of the glass wall, some moving presences caught her attention.
This time she saw something farther away. In the opposite building—the living area of the trainees is composed of four buildings, and the different buildings are connected by corridors and air corridors. The corridors in the air are completely enclosed with iron sheets, while the corridors on the ground, although they are also completely enclosed, are not made of iron sheets, but transparent glass.
The glass corridor directly connects with the side door on the first floor of the opposite building. If someone entered the veranda from that side, from Xu Tuoran’s perspective, he could just see it.
For example, right now, on the first floor opposite, several people happened to come out one after another. Both men and women, old and young, have different clothing styles, and all have number marks on their chests. However, Xu Tuoran’s focus was not on them—she only focused on a girl at the back of the crowd.
The girl was wearing a dull black dress, with her long hair hanging down, and she walked silently at the back, not talking to anyone. Xu Tuoran looked at her steadfastly, and tilted his head in rapt attention. Pu Han noticed something was wrong, and approached vigilantly: “Hey, what are you looking at?”
“Someone is coming from the opposite side.” Xu Tuoran pointed in that direction, “Did you see the girl at the end? She looks so good.”
“?” Pu Han asked with a question mark in his head, and looked intently, it happened that the group of people had all entered the glass corridor. Covered by the crowd, he didn’t see the “good-looking” girl Xu Tuoran said, but noticed two more figures coming out from the side door on the first floor.
One of them, with the back of the head in front and the front in the back, is the woman in red shoes who is responsible for guiding the newcomers. Next to her was a girl with neat short hair who looked young, wearing ripped jeans without any number marks on her clothes.
“Hey, did you see the two new ones?” He lowered his voice, “That short-haired girl is also a newcomer?”
“It should be.” Xu Tueran glanced casually and said absently, “The guide wearing the red shoes once told me that there are four newcomers joining this program this time. It’s just that the other two were randomly assigned to the program. Group U.”
“Then they’re lucky.” Pu Han said subconsciously, and then frowned, “But here comes the problem. We were pulled in because the rune was opened, how did the other two get in?”
“I don’t know.” Xu Tuoran looked at the window for a while, and confirmed that he would not see the “good-looking” girl in black dress again. He could only look away regretfully, and retreated to the small sofa, “The staff and I As I said, this kind of newcomers will be replenished from time to time.”
“Irresponsible…” Pu Han clicked his tongue, “That’s strange.”
Either the newcomers before them were all humans who came in for some reason before the runes were invalidated. Either there is some kind of special mechanism in this domain that can continuously “produce” new people to enter into this program—if it is the latter, then it is hard to say whether these “new people” are human beings.
No, it should be, it’s hard to say whether all the trainees are human.
Thinking about it carefully, in such a domain held by a person with Chen-level ability, there will be a large number of humans appearing, which seems a bit outrageous.
And in their domain, there is more than just the role of trainees—in addition to “trainees”, there is also a mysterious “audience jury” who can control the fate of all trainees. What is the composition of this group? I still can’t figure it out.
“Forget it, these questions, I can’t think of any results now.” Xu Tuoran sighed, “At least try to participate in the assessment first. See how much you can get.”
This is also the reason Pu Han thinks about, but he still has doubts about how to arrange their first assessment. After all, what the staff told Xu Tuoran was “to arrange within ten hours”, but the relevant information will only appear under the pillow. So are they going to wait in their dormitory all the time?
Pu Han felt that it was necessary to inquire more about this. And Xu Turan nodded after listening, “What you said makes sense.”
As soon as the words were finished, a bluish-white blood-stinging shadow drifted past in the lobby. Xu Tuoran turned his head and took a look, then suddenly raised his hand: “Staff? Are you staff!”
She jumped up from the sofa and trotted directly towards the other party. Pu Han didn’t know what they were talking about, but he only knew that as they talked, the ghost’s body became shorter, getting shorter and shorter as he talked, and in the end, he almost walked with his waist bowed.
And Xu Tuoran, after politely shaking his hand at the other party, turned and returned to the small coffee table.
“I got it. The staff member said that within ten hours is the time given by the assessment information, and the actual assessment time must be tomorrow during the daytime. So we should eat and sleep today, and act according to the arrangement tomorrow.”
Pu Han: “…”
“That’s it?” He was silent for a moment, and hesitated to speak.
“Otherwise.” Xu Tuoran was puzzled, “Then there is something you haven’t figured out yet. Tell me, and I’ll catch another staff member to ask about it now.”
“No, no, I’m not saying that your information is incomplete. I just think, uh…” Pu Han chose his words carefully, “I think this is different from the ‘inquiry’ I imagined.”
“?” Xu Tuoran was even more inexplicable, “Then what kind of inquiry do you imagine?”
Pu Han: “…”
To be honest, I don’t know either. But at least it’s definitely not the kind where you just grab someone and ask blah blah, and the other party really just answers blah blah.
Pu Han fell into silence. At this moment, he suddenly wondered if he was worrying too much—even though he knew that this was a domain owned by capable people, the so-called “staff” were all abominations who had served capable people. But he still subconsciously regards this place as an existence similar to a copy of the game, placing those abominable creatures on the opposite side of himself, defaulting that they will not cooperate and will not take the initiative to help him.
However, it now appears that this is not the case. Maybe it’s not that these staff are unfriendly, but that they simply have little contact with each other?
After Pu Han analyzed it, he felt suddenly enlightened, and his thoughts became clear.
However, he soon discovered that he was still thinking too much.
The abomination is still the unlovable abomination. At most, they were just being polite to Xu Furan.
This kind of differential treatment is more obvious in the next two explorations.
Because there is still plenty of time before the first assessment, the two took advantage of this time to explore as much as possible the areas that Group F could involve. Along the way, I often encountered some puzzles that even Pu Han couldn’t figure out in his reading—and when Pu Han asked these questions, most of the answers he asked were ambiguous, and one or two seemed to be possessed by riddlers.
It was Xu Tuoran who asked, and it didn’t take long before he even got back the sketch map.
It was even more extreme at dinner, the two of them obviously ordered the same set meal, and the meat on Xu Tuoran’s plate was twice as thick as his own.
Pu Han: “…”
Angrily, he pokes the piece of meat on the plate with a fork, lowers his head slightly, and half of the large slanted bangs shake like a curtain: “Tell me honestly, have you charged money?”
Otherwise, how could the differential treatment be so obvious!
Xu Tueran gave him a funny look, and put a piece of meat in front of him: “I told you, it’s a personal relationship. I basically saw it when I lived with Jiang Siyu. Although I didn’t have much contact, but the basics The goodwill should still be there.”
Pu Han: “…”
He recalled the attitude of those abominable employees towards Xu Tuoran, and asked sincerely: “Are you sure it’s a good impression?”
“Otherwise.” Xu Tuoran was confident, and looked out of the glass wall of the restaurant from time to time while eating – she seemed to really want to have a cat now, and she looked around a lot along the way. It’s a pity that although I saw two of them on the way, they were not successfully kidnapped.
Looking around for a while, she didn’t see a kitten suitable for tying back, but there was another thing that attracted her attention.
“Hehe!” Staring at the group of people who appeared in the veranda outside, Xu Tuoran waved at Pu Han again, “Look, that super beautiful person! She appeared again!”
“?” Pu Han didn’t respond, “Who?”
“As I said before, super cute, super beautiful and super good-looking person! As beautiful as a star!” Xu Tuoran piled up compliments without hesitation, and added two super plus a metaphor,
“Keep your voice down, there are people here…don’t act like you’ve never seen the world.” Pu Han looked around and patted Xu Tuoran’s hand away in disgust.
It’s not wrong to say that they are all human. The restaurants where the four groups eat are overlapped, but there are different seating areas. As for Group F alone, there are as many as sixteen people in total, plus other groups, it is enough to be in a big class.
This also led to a sudden increase in the number of people around when it was time to eat. When visiting other places before, Pu Han kept saying that it was empty. As soon as he entered the restaurant, he immediately began to reflect on whether he had accidentally turned on the no-picture mode.
And to be honest, although this variety show is weird, and there are all kinds of trainees, men, women and children, everyone’s appearance is generally quite high. Even if it is an old man, he is still a young old man with good facial features and good spirits. Not to mention that among young people, there is no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women.
Therefore, Pu Han really felt that Xu Tuoran had made a fuss.
Having said that, he still looked in the direction Xu Tueran pointed at. I didn’t see any “super beautiful” girl in black dress, but I saw the strange girl with short hair and ripped jeans again.
The latter has a number plate marked on his chest this time, which is displayed as U63-it seems that the distribution of these numbers is indeed irregular. Pu Han thought she would get 29 or 30.
And just when he was concentrating on thinking about the number arrangement, the other party finally saw him.
…But the girl’s eyes widened suddenly, as if she saw something extremely unimaginable, and then her eyes fell on Xu Turan who was next to him, her expression tensed up instantly, and when she looked at Pu Han again, there was already something in her eyes There is nothing more obvious than hostility.
Pu Han: “…?”
No, it’s fine if the staff don’t wait to see me. Why does even an unknown trainee act as if he hates me?
What am I doing wrong?
