What’s Wrong With Seeking Death? - Chapter 135

Time rewinds to a few minutes ago.

As Pu Han’s No. 2 short-haired girl, she suddenly felt something was wrong when she was walking on the road.

Not long ago, she saw a trainee who claimed to “see a cat” being taken away by the staff, and out of curiosity, she followed her secretly for a while. Until I saw the staff member lead the person into the unused lounge—not long after, I heard strange music coming from the lounge. The music didn’t suit her taste very much, and she didn’t know how long the two of them would spend in it, so she went back first.

She hugged the newly received bed curtain and walked in the sunny corridor when the light in front of her eyes suddenly dimmed for a moment. She thought it was just a random cloud passing by outside, but soon realized that was not the case.

It was getting dark. The sun is like a lonely lamp, being gradually swallowed up by the thick and endless clouds. It was only past nine o’clock in the morning, and the sky was as gloomy as twilight, and it was dyed with a layer of yellow, as if a heavy rain was coming.

The short-haired girl stopped suddenly, and turned her head as if feeling something, just as she saw the bushes shaking outside, and wild cats came out of it. I heard the sound of fluttering in the air again, and birds in twos and threes flapped their wings and fell from the air, and landed one after another on the plane tree in the courtyard, densely packed, like a large piece of upside-down fruit.

It’s like giving up hiding. All the small animals stopped outside the glass wall aggressively. Staring at a pair of empty eye sockets, she quietly looked across the wall from her.

The short-haired girl took two steps back alertly, and heard footsteps next to her. Following the reputation, I saw that many trainees seemed to be attracted by the strange situation outside, and they leaned over one after another. Uneasy whispers circulated around, and staff soon appeared to try to maintain order, but the atmosphere did not improve at all, and even became more depressed.

An inexplicable irritability surged in her heart. The short-haired girl took two steps towards the dormitory, suddenly realized something, and suddenly turned her head to look at the trainees, her expression suddenly changed.

—all dark colors, are surging.

Only then did she notice that, as if being drawn by some kind of force, the “dark parts” in everyone’s bodies were moving like living creatures, ready to move.

Of course, there are also some people whose “color” is not affected at all. Because there is no “dark part” in their body at all. But comparatively speaking, this part is only a very small number.

The short hair keenly sensed that something was wrong. Although he couldn’t figure out the logic for a while, he rushed to the staff immediately, grabbed her arm and shook it violently, and pointed out to her the trainees who had no dark colors in their bodies.

“This, this… and that one over there! They’re different from others and they all need protection—sorry.”

Looking at the rotten arm that was directly torn off because of her too much force, the short-haired girl froze for a moment, raised her eyes to meet the resentful gaze of the other party, and twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment.

Fortunately, the other party didn’t lose his temper because of this. He secretly took the hand and put it on neatly, and nodded seriously, writing down all the people the short hair pointed to.

The short-haired man breathed a sigh of relief, noticing that more people were gathering here, he hurriedly rushed against the flow of people, looking around along the way, constantly observing the colors in other people’s bodies.

She tried her best to record all the “no dark version” trainees she saw, and kept reporting to the staff she saw along the way. Just like this, she ran all the way to the end of the corridor, and her steps suddenly slowed down.

In this corridor, almost no one is there. Only at the end, squatting a person.

It was Sha Matt with a pinch of purple streaks. That is, the U30 who was taken away by the staff in front of her before.

He was squatting on the ground, shivering. Even the large mass of dark color mixed in the body trembled like a living thing.

The short-haired girl stopped involuntarily.

“What are you doing here?” She pursed her lips, and said cautiously, “The staff are all outside. They are all warning not to look outside.”

But the man didn’t seem to hear her words, he couldn’t help trembling, and murmured: “I saw the cat.”

“Before, right here, I saw the cat.”

“A cat with eyes.”

“Have eyes?” The short-haired girl frowned. She clearly remembered what she heard at the time – this guy clearly said “the cat without eyes”.

“…Yes, yes.” U30 froze for a moment, then nodded with wide eyes, “The first thing I saw was eyesless…”

“But just now, when I left the lounge, I saw another person.”

“He told me that cats actually have eyes. He saw it and showed me the eyes. Then I remembered that the cat I saw actually had eyes.”

He turned his head slowly, and looked at the short-haired woman without blinking his eyes: “Did you know? A cat’s eyes are not actually in the eye sockets.”

“…”

The short-haired girl looked at him silently, her heart beating faster involuntarily. Her intuition told her that maybe she should run away at this time.

However, just like other Pu Han, she couldn’t hold back her **** curiosity. After a brief silence, she said solemnly: “Then tell me, where is it?”

U30 looked at her fixedly, and suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth.

“Here.” He said, opening his mouth wide at the short-haired girl.

I saw a trembling, complete eyeball hidden deep in its mouth.

— At the same time, the sky was completely dark. The building was completely shrouded in darkness.

Pu Han No. 2’s eyes widened in disbelief, the sound of turmoil from the crowd came from behind, and outside the glass wall, it was like waves rising, blasting wild cats screaming one after another—

“Meow!”

At the same time and within the assessment location.

Ignoring the sharp screams of the black cat in front of him, Xu Tuoran smashed down the No. 7 ice with one hand, turning the cat into a lump of cat ice on the spot.

The world suddenly became quiet.

The feeling of nausea is finally better.

Xu Tuoran exhaled, sat back on the small bench, picked up the half-drinked yogurt, and stared thoughtfully at Maomaobing in front of him while chattering.

This thing is quite flexible, just now it was flying around in the room, she tried to attack several times but failed, the man in the apron in the kitchen kept screaming beside her, making Xu Furan upset. Almost did not offer “absolute kingship”.

In the end, he used a confusing active effect to perform a strong control for 1.5 seconds, and then added No. 7 ice for output, and finally frozen the opponent. The whole process was not too difficult, but for Xu Tuoran, who is still nauseated now , it is a bit difficult.

Why this kind of thing appeared in the assessment scene, she didn’t know. But she instinctively realized that this was not a good thing—the program team strictly guarded the small animals, and it was impossible to put them into the assessment scene for the purpose of selection.

Now, however, a cat appeared here. A cat without eyes.

what does that mean? Is it the program team, or is there something wrong with Jiang Siyu’s defense?

Xu Tuoran couldn’t think of an answer for the time being. She looked at Maomaobing in front of her, thought for a while, and then walked forward, intending to pack it up and take it away, but the moment she stretched out her hand, a line of blurred characters suddenly popped up in front of her eyes:

【Sister…quick…leave…】

Xu Tuoran: …?

The word looks like it is floating in the air, and the round typeface looks familiar. Xu Tuoran frowned, subconsciously took a step back, and saw more handwriting appear out of thin air.

【Hurry up…leave…】

【We are… rain…】

…? ? ?

The handwriting is very blurry, and many characters in the middle are illegible.

Xu Tuoran tilted his head slightly, and suddenly remembered where he had seen similar fonts.

Barrage. She had watched the replay of the video of her first assessment, and the bullet screen that flew across the video was this type of font.

“Jiang Siyu?” She looked at the familiar title of “sister” and said thoughtfully.

The barrage quickly responded:

【it’s me…】

【Sister…listen to me…】

【Let me tell you… pass the customs… take other people to go…】

[Also, remember…don’t watch…]

do not look?

Xu vainly raised his eyebrows slightly. She can probably guess that this “don’t look” is related to small animals, but she has seen it several times before, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with it except for the increase in death value…

Before she could figure it out, a long-lost reminder suddenly sounded in her mind.

Warning sound of danger prediction.

The sound was short and rapid, fleeting. The next moment, I heard another meow coming from the front.

Just at this moment, the blurry barrage dissipated. Xu Tueran was caught off guard, and looked at the trembling apron male NPC above him.

He hugged his head and huddled in the corner, and hadn’t moved since the black cat appeared. And the abrupt meow just now slipped out of his mouth.

The next moment, under Xu Turan’s stunned gaze, he suddenly raised his head, and opened his mouth, which was still within the normal range, to the limit. A wet, pupilless cat’s head protruded from it, and opened its mouth wide to Xu Tuoran—

Deep in the mouth is an eyeball.

One yellow eyeball.

Unprepared, Xu Turan happened to meet the eyeball. In a blink of an eye, there seemed to be some kind of sudden light rushing towards the face, piercing the eyes and piercing the brain. Immediately afterwards, there was a stabbing pain like a knife, as if some kind of living thing was moving through the brain at an extremely fast speed.

Xu Tuoran was forced to take a few steps back again and again by the sudden pain, and the first thing he had in his heart was to circle a country around him. In the next second, the black cat came out of the apron man’s mouth intact, and two yellowish lights shone brightly in the originally empty eye sockets.

…has been calculated.

Xu Turan suddenly realized this.

The black cat she had frozen earlier was just bait. This one in front of him is the real attacker.

I couldn’t help but feel a little depressed. And soon, an even more unbelievable scene appeared.

The black cat didn’t even look at its frozen companion, and walked forward a few steps. A front paw suddenly slammed on the ground, and a thin layer of ice immediately spread on the surrounding ground, and sharp ice edges appeared out of thin air, floating in the air, swaying.

…? ? ?

Xu Tuoran obviously didn’t expect such a move on the other side, and his first reaction was to immediately formulate rules to defend. Who would have thought that just as he was about to speak, his brain suddenly went blank—

A void in the true sense. I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what to do. I don’t even know who I am.

This feeling of blankness was fleeting, but in a flash, Xu Tuoran’s consciousness returned to normal. However, this little reaction time is fatal enough for her—

A few ice ridges were already close to her eyebrows, and they were almost able to pierce her eyes and face.

From Xu Tuoran’s perspective, she could even see one of the spikes coming straight to her eyes.

At this time, it is absolutely too late to announce the rules. Xu Tuoran could only quickly fall back and roll, narrowly avoiding the spikes that were close at hand. When she moved, she clearly felt that her feet were stagnant. After she escaped completely, she realized that her feet had also been covered with a thin layer of ice, and she was just freezing the soles of her shoes to the ground.

Fortunately, this layer of ice is very thin and crisp. It wasn’t difficult to break free—if so, Xu Tueran still couldn’t help but feel a burst of gratitude.

While rejoicing, some strange feelings rose in my heart. First affect the opponent’s mind to control it, and then attack with ice… This process is too familiar.

But now is not the time to ponder. The opponent’s mind control came again, Xu Tueran was not sure what would happen. Too lazy to tangle with the other party, she simply did not do anything, and put a control before the other party, taking advantage of the 1.5 seconds when the other party was in a blank state, she closed her eyes and smashed a few shots of Bing Shiba in the past—

The black crystals ran rampant in the small space like a wild beast, and soon the ear-piercing screams of wild cats sounded again. Xu Turan remained unmoved and kept his eyes closed until the voice disappeared completely before he stopped his movements.

She didn’t rush to open her eyes, but once again delineated the country, and used the “absolute kingship” to give herself the protection of “not to look at each other”. After the arrangement was completed, Fang opened his eyes, only a few lumps of charred ashes remained in front of him.

Whether it was the cat Maobing that was used as bait before, or the Bingbing cat that appeared later, they were all burned to the bone under Xu Tuoran’s indiscriminate bombardment. Even the man in the apron suffered, the only difference being that his pile of ashes was much bigger than the two cats.

Xu Tuoran: “…”

The crisis was temporarily lifted, and the discomfort from being suppressed surged up again. Xu Tuoran covered his mouth with his hands, and added another rule, announcing that “existences that are malicious to her cannot be hidden.” After waiting for a while, Fang really felt relieved before the other cats came out to be beaten.

And those round barrage fonts did not appear again until then.

[Oh my god, this barrage display function is finally stable! 】

[Sister, listen to me, don’t look into the eyes of animals! That’s dangerous! 】

Xu Tuoran: “…”

Thanks for reminding.

I just saw it, it’s quite dangerous.

I don’t know what method was used, this time the text in the bullet screen in the game became much clearer. Just worried that it would distract Xu Tuoran’s attention, the next barrage speech was very restrained, and there was basically no nonsense. He directly gave the hiding place of the diary fragments in the kitchen, and reminded Xu Tuoran again to meet up with other people and leave together as soon as possible.

…Except for a few, I couldn’t help but brushed a few more “666” and “Sister is so cool”. But this doesn’t happen much. It’s not that Jiang Siyu didn’t want to swipe, but the timing was wrong, and other Jiang Siyu would scold them face to face if they swipe.

Xu Tuoran took a slow breath, followed the guidance of the barrage, and quickly found a torn diary from the refrigerator. As he walked out, he murmured and said, “The eyes in the cat’s body can copy the ability of people?”

This is the conclusion she just came to. Although it was outrageous, the method that the black cat used to deal with her just now was clearly her own confusion plus number seven ice.

The barrage quickly replied: [After the first eye contact, it can master one or two skills that the ability user has used before. 】

Xu Tuoran: “…”

No wonder I have been emphasizing not to look at each other before.

But the barrage also said that what they have is only the previous information. Now that the form of “that thing” has changed, they are not sure whether this ability has also changed.

This is tantamount to confirming Xu Tuoran’s previous guess. Those small animals are related to iron nematodes, or in other words, they are some kind of incarnations of iron nematodes in this domain. They have been isolated from the world of trainees by Jiang Siyu’s defense mechanism, but now, they have finally broken through this layer of defense through some means…

But Xu Turan doesn’t understand one thing—why does the barrage keep saying “we”?

Through the tone of her voice, she could be sure that Jiang Siyu was the one who sent the barrage on the opposite side. Who else is with her? Her employees or family members?

With such doubts in mind, Xu vainly walked to the door.

Just when the door was opened, there was a commotion outside—

“Don’t let go don’t let go!”

“No, it scratched me!”

“Pick it up, pick up the nape of its neck!”

“Find something to lock it up—”

“…” Xu Tuoran’s eyebrows twitched, he pushed the door and went out, only to see that there was a flutter of chickens and dogs in the living room:

A middle-aged man was holding a cat with both hands, trying to suppress it while roaring, another middle-aged man next to him was holding a rope, and the old man was holding a cardboard box, and they seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to tie up the cat. Pu Han and the child stood far away, covering their eyes with their hands.

Xu Tuoran: “…”

It made her want to cover her eyes a little bit. But purely because I didn’t see it.

She pursed her lips and walked out quickly. Just as she raised her finger to attack, the middle-aged man holding the cat had already noticed her presence.

Immediately afterwards, he rushed over without saying a word, threw the cat in his hand into the room behind Xu Tuoran, pulled Xu Tuoran past him, and quickly closed the door. The whole set of actions took only two seconds. , I saw him exhale a long breath.

“I finally threw it out.” The man felt relieved, and looked Xu Turan up and down again, “When did you go in, girl? Are you okay? I just searched around and didn’t find you.”

“…It’s okay.” Xu Tuoran was startled by the other party’s toughness, and said after a short pause, “The cat just now…”

“It got itself out,” murmured another, still in shock. “It has eyes. It’s on its stomach. A big yellow eye.”

Yellow eyes… Xu Turan smacked the word, his face became more serious. The news that Jiang Siyu conveyed through the bullet screen just now came to mind:

[The eyeballs are its real means of attack! Especially for trainees, it will cause pollution! 】

[If there is anything wrong with the other trainees, let them sing and dance the previously assigned songs! If the performance is very poor, don’t hesitate to kill them directly! 】

…Even if you say to kill them directly, I still need to know what can be killed.

Xu Tuoran murmured in his heart, looked suspiciously at the middle-aged man in front of him, and began to think about how to pressure him to take an extra singing and dancing test—the kind that would kill him if he danced badly.

Fortunately, Jiang Siyu still has a conscience and didn’t put all the pressure on her. The void barrage appeared again soon, and it was displayed in front of everyone. The difference is that this time the barrage changed to an official tone, and the information displayed was also reduced a lot. It was only informed that there was an unknown error in the current assessment, and all trainees were required to quit as soon as possible . As an assistance, they will provide official customs clearance strategies, hoping that the trainees will try their best to cooperate.

This is not so much a barrage as an announcement. The announcement also mentioned that “if the trainees feel unwell, please immediately review the past designated repertoire in place”, but the second half of the sentence was omitted.

It has to be said that the psychological quality of these trainees is really excellent. Faced with this series of unimaginable events and suggestions, there is only one question they care about – how to count the promotion results?

With such dedication, Xu Tuoran wanted to applaud them.

The person who sent the barrage obviously didn’t expect them to ask such a question. After being stuck for a while, they could only reply helplessly on the spot. Xu Tuoran didn’t care about these things, so he took this opportunity to pull Pu Han aside, shared everything he had just learned in a few words.

After hearing this, Pu Han was taken aback.

“You mean, if the ability user looks at those yellow eyes, then the small animal with eyes can reproduce the two skills that the ability user used before?”

“There may be one. It seems to be a time limit.” Xu Tuoran quietly surrounded the entire living room as a country, rubbing his stomach, and looking around vigilantly, “Jiang Siyu said that the omniscient iron nematode should have Suffering from some kind of suppression, this ability cannot be used temporarily. And this is reflected in its image, that is, it has no ‘eyes’. Now, some animals have regained their eyes and have invaded the interior of the building, which probably means that it has Get ready, plan to make a comeback…Pu Han?”

Noticing Pu Han’s strange expression, Xu Tuoran changed the subject: “What’s wrong with you?”

“I just thought of something very important.” Pu Han opened his mouth, “If I remember correctly, I should have looked at each other just now.”

Xu Tuoran: “…?!”

“Before looking at each other, I was trying to restore the fragments of the diary I found using ‘backtracking’.” Pu Han’s expression was even weirder, “Although I have been severely cut in this area, this is an ability after all…”

Going back in time, you can rewind the time of the foreign object and make it return to the previous state. The targets covered by the skill expand with leveling up. In this domain, Pu Han’s ability is quite limited, and the time limit for the retroactive effect is very short.

…The problem is, he doesn’t know if this time limit will work for iron nematodes. If the other party automatically upgrades to the full version or the plus version after reforging his skills, then this matter will be a big deal.

On this point, Xu Tuoran has the right to speak. As an experienced No. 7 ice user, she could feel that when the black cat used No. 7 ice, the quality and range of the ice cubes it made couldn’t close itself at all, and it was a castrated version if it died.

But Pu Han’s words still caught her attention. She pondered for a moment, greeted Pu Han, and went to the kitchen alone. After a while, she opened the door and came out again.

“The problem is solved.” She gestured OK to Pu Han, “You don’t have to worry about being plagiarized by the cat.”

If the ice eighteen can not be resolved. Then let’s do something confusing, add ice number 7 once, and put ice 18 again. Silence, it’s that simple.

Pu Han: “…”

“Great.” He breathed a sigh of relief, “I was worried that it would use time travel to revive its companion…”

“It revived its companion.” Xu Tuoran nodded affirmatively, “I saw three cats when I went in.”

She was so scared that she almost retched again. He quickly closed his eyes and started a combo. When he opened his eyes again, there were only three lumps of dust in front of him.

“That’s good…” Pu Han breathed a sigh of relief again, halfway through, his expression suddenly changed again.

“Wait a minute. I suddenly thought of something.” He suddenly raised his head with an inexplicable expression, “Since this ability is reproduced, it is the ability of the original iron nematode. And all the small animals are the incarnation of iron nematode…”

“Then tell me, is the ability they reproduced only for this one, or will it be shared with all other animals simultaneously?”

Xu Tuoran: “…”

Good question, I want to know too.

Her first reaction was to ask the barrage first. However, before he could speak, he heard another scream from the direction of the corner of the living room.

The two looked at each other vigilantly, and hurried over immediately. With just one glance, the two fell into silence.

I saw a corner of the living room, next to those trainees. At some point, another group of cats surrounded him.
