What’s Wrong With Seeking Death? - Chapter 142

When Fang Ke finally contacted Xu Tuoran, it was already twenty minutes later.

No way, there is no way to receive calls in the domain. Pu Han can only teach Fang Ke the ritual of contacting… no, communicating with the brush of the pen fairy, and then Fang Ke will hurry up to purchase materials and perform the ceremony.

Perhaps it is a habit that has become natural. Now that the pen of the pen fairy has received prayers from strangers, there has been no psychological ups and downs at all. Receive calmly and convey calmly. On the contrary, Xu Tuoran, who heard the news about it, became a little uneasy.

Xu Tuoran was already ready to leave. After all, Pu Han’s sudden disappearance, coupled with the system’s warning, always makes people feel a little uneasy. But it is not easy to leave directly from the domain, so I wasted some time.

As soon as she left, she immediately called Pu Han.

The call was connected quickly, and Pu Han’s calm voice came over: “Hello?”

“…” Hearing his tone as usual, Xu Tuoran let go of his hanging heart a little, “What’s the situation with you?”

The message conveyed by the pen of the pen fairy is very concise, only saying that Pu Han is polluted, and reminding to close the entrance and exit of the dead zone. Xu Tuoran is actually at a loss about Pu Han’s situation.

Pu Han said succinctly: “I have been recruited. Now I have some iron nematodes in my spirit.”

Even though he had expected it, Xu Turan’s heart sank when he heard the words: “When is it…”

“In the domain. One of my splinters. Do you remember the short-haired girl?” Pu Han said, “She once looked directly into the eyes of the bug without defense, and there was already an infected bug at that time.” It was a sign. It’s just that we didn’t notice it. Later, she dealt with another source of infection by herself…”

Thinking about it now, since then, they have rarely seen her face to face. Even if they meet, they will soon separate, each busy in his own way, this is the second level of negligence.

When Pu Han left the domain, he didn’t check the status of the other two, and directly pulled his consciousness away. After causing the three split bodies to merge into one, the contaminated part was also brought into his real body, which is the third negligence.

“And the cumulative result of these negligence is that I’m dirty.” Pu Han finally concluded.

Xu Turan: …

“So why did you leave in such a hurry?” Xu Tuoran wandered alone in the abandoned office building, with Little Fenhua sitting on her shoulder dangling, “Did you read something?”

“Yeah.” Pu Han didn’t hide anything, “I saw a man with yellow eyes enter my room. Because I was worried about Feifei, I hurried back.”

“Thinking about it now, that scene should have been intentionally made by the iron nematode to stimulate me.”

“That is to say, it has long planned to use your consciousness to leave…” Xu Tuoran pursed his lips, “But the filth that Jiang Siyu sealed also escaped. They escaped from the exit of the domain.”

“It’s not surprising. The three caves of the sly rabbit. It should be trying to attack from multiple directions.” Pu Han said, paused, “Didn’t I just say that a person with yellow eyes entered my room?”

Xu Tuoran: “Huh?”

“Fang Ke has checked. He is not being ‘possessed’, but controlled by some kind of force—of course, we have to control him first. Fang Ke is going to take the time to take him to the camphor forest.” Pu Han continue.

Xu Turan smacked his words, and then remembered the ability of the system to know all about iron worms, and felt a little uncomfortable: “You mean…”

Pu Han said in a deep voice: “I mean, this bug can control other people through parasitism. This is probably one of the reasons why it’s staring at me…”

“Of course, there is another possibility that it wants to use me as a candidate for possession.”

Xu Tuoran: “…”

She walked around the empty office alone a few times, and her brain quickly sorted out and integrated all the information she had so far, and her thoughts gradually became clear.

The source of everything is the self-help of the three generations of the Jiang family. Because they had a premonition that their suppression was about to fail, they took the risk of using slices to strip and seal the iron nematodes—but what they didn’t expect was that their sealing method was not completely effective.

They thought they had sealed the filthy parts that had been stripped off, but they hadn’t. It’s just that part of the filth, as one of the branches of the wireworm, has been quietly dormant, waiting for an opportunity to move.

And when he tried to seal its main body, this part of the split finally came in handy. The omniscient iron worm transferred consciousness and power to this part of the fragment, and found an opportunity to escape from the domain. On the other hand, Pu Han No. 2 was infected, so it found another opportunity to get off the phone, and finally took advantage of Pu Han’s separation to separate another part of itself and implanted it in Pu Han’s body.

With this part of the body, it can collect intelligence through Pu Han, and even exert control. If it goes too far, it might be able to transfer its own consciousness directly…

Not only that, according to Pu Han, the omniscient iron nematode has split into more incarnations to control other people. The one who went to attack Feifei was one of them—Xu Tueran wasn’t sure if there was any limit to this skill, but from the current point of view, this skill was enough to be annoying.

Not to mention that the iron nematode itself can copy skills through reading…

Xu Tuoran rarely felt a little tricky. After closing his eyes, he spoke again: “Then what about you now? That part of your body, um…”

“The dirty stuff.” Pu Han took the conversation lightly, “I know what you want to ask. I can’t guarantee the future, but at least for now, my side is still safe.”

—In a dimly lit room, Pu Han was lying on the bed, his eyes were covered with a black cloth, and his left hand was tied to the edge of the bed. Luminous runes were painted all over his body and face, his face was blue, his lips were white, but his expression was still as usual.

Feifei was holding up her mobile phone and sticking it to his ear. He tilted his head slightly, and continued: “Fortunately, I discovered it early. I discovered the ‘dirty thing’ before it took effect. I’m trying to suppress it as much as possible in the corner of my consciousness now. , and with the help of Feifei and Rune, nothing will happen in a while.”

“For a while?” Xu Tuoran frowned because of his wording.

“That thing is like an earthworm, it has been trying to drill into the depths of my consciousness. I don’t know how long I can stop it.” Pu Han said honestly, “But thanks to its existence, I also read some very interesting things.”

Xu Tuoran: “?”

“For example, the location of the main body, the function of these divisions, etc.” Pu Han’s tone still sounded relaxed, “I can only read a rough location about the main body, and I have asked someone to check it. But I doubt It has also noticed this, and it should be more defensive against me in the future.”

“As for the other fragments… I can’t read it for a while. It will take some time. If there is progress, I will contact you again.”

“Also, I read that these parasitic fragments can only see things through the eyes of the host. Therefore, if you encounter them, it is very important to seal their sight. In addition, the imprisonment rune should also be effective.”

Across the phone, Pu Han seemed to smile a bit: “I’ll verify this point myself, it’s absolutely true.”

Xu Tuoran: “…”

“Also, what else did I discover… Oh yes, this iron nematode, once it divides, if it wants to reunite, it can only eat each other. Yes, so it’s best to separate them… Then, um… “

Xu Tueran listened to him quietly, paused for a while, and suddenly interrupted: “Pu Han.”

Pu Han: “Huh?”

“Is it really okay for you to read ‘it’ like this?” Xu Tuoran said seriously.

She could remember that when Pu Han was reading herself, she felt pain because she couldn’t read. And that all-knowing iron nematode is obviously more cunning than they thought. Pu Han used its split body as Baidu Knows, so she didn’t believe that the iron nematode would have no response.

When Pu Han heard this, he laughed again.

“Hey, this kind of thing is always a little troublesome.” He said indifferently, “But don’t you think it’s quite cost-effective?”

“It wants to use me first, so it’s okay for me to use it if it’s an eye for an eye. Wouldn’t you do it in your place?”

…Xu Turan was silent for a moment.

Say something, she really knows what she says.

But no matter what, putting this matter on Pu Han would be too risky. Xu Tuoran settled down, and immediately said: “I’ll wait to communicate with Jiang Siyu, and bring you back to the domain. According to the logic of their domain, the parasites on your body should also be able to peel off…”

“That’s not necessary.” Pu Han said lightly.

“I still say the same thing, since it wants to use me, then I will use it too. Having an intelligence interpretation station is more beneficial to the general environment, isn’t it? And I have said it all, in order to ensure that the splits will not converge, It’s best to house them separately.”

He smiled lowly at the phone again: “Don’t worry, I have a sense of proportion. If I really can’t hold on anymore, I will come to you again. If you can’t even save me in time, then I will seal my eyesight first and then commit suicide. Oh, by the way, remember to give me the address when the time comes, and I will send Feifei to you in the cold chain, and you will take good care of it for me.”

Xu Tuoran: “…”

She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, vaguely understood how Yang Buqi felt when she watched her go crazy to death: “Pu Han—”

“Just kidding.” Pu Han smiled again, “Don’t worry. I’m not that easy to get into trouble.”

After finishing speaking, he gave some information he had glimpsed in a few words, and Pu Han ended the call.

Xu Tuoran waited on the spot for a while, and saw that the screen lit up again, and a text message from the sender “Pu Han” came over:

[Sorry, I made you laugh. He’s out of his mind, please don’t be serious with him. 】

Xu Tuoran sighed, and quickly replied: 【I know. I still suggest sending him to Jiang Siyu, what do you think? 】

The second text message arrived shortly afterwards:

【I respect his opinion and believe he can do it. I will try my best to protect him. 】

After sending this message, Feifei steadily put the phone on the bedside table next to her, picked up the painkiller from the cabinet, turned back to Pu Han’s face, and fed it into his mouth.

Pu Han’s eyes were covered with cloth strips, so he could only open his mouth based on feeling. The pill slid down his throat with the water, and he fell back on the bed again, feeling his head hurt like it was going to burn.

Just like Xu Tuoran said, there is always a price to be paid for forcibly plundering information from that thing. This grueling headache is probably just the beginning.

But what? Let’s see who can handle who. He was a person who had crawled in the upgrade space for a year with a rotten body, so no one was afraid of anyone.

Pu Han thought sarcastically, turned his head slightly, and lightly rubbed Feifei’s cold fingers,

The head, which was so painful that it was almost hot, finally felt a little better.

the other side.

Xu Tuoran put away his phone and sighed deeply.

“I think that human being’s brain is not normal, but he said something right.” The system that had been silent all this time suddenly said, “Having an intelligence channel is a good thing for you.”

“Shut up.” Xu Tueran pursed his lips, turned and looked behind him.

She is now in the abandoned office building where she and Pu Han were before entering the domain. And in front of her is the rune that can be used to enter the domain. Before leaving, Xu Tuoran specially greeted Jiang Siyu and asked them to leave a temporary entrance for herself—after all, she still has to go back after she has figured out what happened to Pu Han.

The runes glow slightly. Xu Tuoran squatted down, performed a simple ceremony according to Jiang Siyu’s teaching, and returned to the domain in the blink of an eye.

This time, her goal is very clear. First, to teach the seal rune to Jiang Siyu and her grandparents, so as to lay a solid foundation for the subsequent self-produced and self-marketed circular seal business; second, to secretly release the girl in the black dress to hunt.

Xu vainly is not stupid. Nausea is nausea, as long as it can effectively fight against the forces of omniscient iron nematodes, it will not be a loss.

At worst, drink more yogurt.

And third, I plan to ask Jiang Siyu for advice on how to own my own domain, and at the same time I want to learn some other skills.

Just now the situation in the domain has stabilized. Whether it is the draft or the seal of killing monsters, it is steadily advancing. It is unrealistic to destroy all the iron nematode incarnations at once, but it is still possible to slowly strip and weaken them.

Xu Tuoran put up his temper and stayed in the observation area. Apart from rubbing his stomach every day, he gave many-to-one lectures with Jiang Siyu and Jiang old men. When you are free, go out and help draw runes, or observe the situation of the seal, or go outside to fight monsters to eliminate food.

Maybe it’s because the main body is isolated, and now there is no death value from these small animals. It doesn’t matter to Xu Tuoran, if he hits you, he will hit you, so why bother looking for a reason?

After staying like this for two days, she left the domain again.

In order to prevent the omniscient iron nematode from waiting for an opportunity to recall all the parts left in the domain, the Jiang family decided to completely close the domain—in other words, as long as they stick to this domain, the part of the omniscient iron nematode’s remaining power will not be destroyed. Want to take it back again.

To avoid accidents, Xu Turan asked again that the pen of the pen fairy had its own sacrificial method, and taught it to Jiang Siyu.

“Pray to it if you have something to do.” She seriously asked before leaving, “I received the news and will come to you.”

“Yeah, got it!”

“Don’t worry, we’ll take care of ourselves.”

“Goodbye sister—”

Jiang Siyu lined up, nodding and waving at her reluctantly.

Xu Tuoran turned his head and waved the pen with the pen. The latter swayed back and forth with her movements, slowly spitting out a bubble, and there seemed to be no waves.

After leaving the domain, Xu Tuoran went back to the nearby residence.

The room remained the same as when she left. Not even the runes on the wall have changed. Xu Tueran stared at them silently for a moment, but he still didn’t wipe them off after thinking about it. Instead, he spread a piece of paper on the ground and drew new runes stroke by stroke.

— Runes that belonged to her.

After reaching the Chen level, capable users can develop their own runes and endow them with functions and meanings. It sounds simple, but it is actually not easy, because according to old man Jiang, this rune is not so much “development” as “search”.

There are many geometric combinations that can form a rune. Ability users must find the one that suits them best, and then find the most suitable usage for it. This often requires dozens, or even hundreds of attempts.

However, Xu Tuoran did not spend too much time on this aspect.

Almost no thinking. She just thought about “I need an exclusive rune”, and a familiar pattern naturally came to mind. At this moment, and naturally, it flowed out from her pen and gradually took shape——

At the moment when the last stroke fell, Xu Tuoran could clearly feel that something was different in the air.

She raised her head vigilantly, and saw the scene around her fold and change. The room, which is not considered cramped at all, is further stretched and enlarged, everything in sight is covered with new colors, and all unnecessary furniture and decorations are turned into powder or swaying flowers.

A layer of smooth ice is spread on the ground, and an armchair stands alone on the ice. The back of the armchair is hollowed out with complicated patterns, and the hollowed out part is fully decorated with flowing colored light.

Xu Tuoran was stunned for a moment, then looked up. The ceiling has also been replaced, and galaxies can be seen flowing in the deep night sky.

After a little hesitation, she walked towards the armchair and lightly stroked the back of the chair.

“This is my domain?” She raised her eyebrows slightly, “It’s different from what I thought.”

It looks more like a huge ice surface that has been seen in an abnormal state of reason.

“The domains I saw at the beginning were randomly generated according to the individual’s subconscious mind.” The system said, “As the familiarity with the domains grows and the ability grows, the individual’s control over the domains will gradually strengthen. For example, adjust the layout at will, or Something out of nothing or something…”

It looked at the matching table that suddenly appeared in front of the chair, and gradually lowered its voice.

Not just tables. Following Xu Tuoran’s thought, another beautiful little vase appeared on the table. When Xu Tuoran put the dancing pink flowers into the bottle, pens and notebooks appeared one after another on the table. There are even notes on the notebook, the system hastily glanced at it, only to see some sporadic words written on it.

[Ritual], [Cycle], [Educator], [Protagonist]…

During her absence, had she actually dug to this extent?

…or is it a premise of flying all the way down the wrong path?

The system was momentarily speechless. On the other side, Xu Tuoran sat down on the armchair familiarly, and looked down at the notebook in front of him.

“This place is quite convenient. I just thought about it, and I even organized my notes.” She turned two pages and said with great interest, “It’s sorted out quite thoroughly.”

In a sense, this is a true mind map—a map that exists directly in the mind.

Xu Tuoran flipped through a few pages, his movements suddenly slowed down, and his voice sank slightly.

“You said before that some information can only be conveyed in my domain.

“And now? You can always speak.”

system:”…”

“Of course you can.” It muttered, “But you have to wait for me to go through it first. This matter is a bit complicated, and I have to think about where to start…”

Xu Tuoran: “? Is there any difficulty?”

“It’s not difficult. It’s just that I have to consider your feelings.” The system plausibly said, “If something is too explosive for you, causing you to be unable to accept it for a while, and your brain freezes, then this is not embarrassing myself ?”

“…”

Xu Turan was not in a hurry, and let him tangle up. While the system was pondering over the words and sentences, he tried to add another thing to the table—a small square box.

To be precise, it is the Faith Box.

Inside the box are spots of light. Connected into one piece, reflecting the stars above the head. Xu Tuoran waited for a while while playing with the faith box that had materialized, and said softly, “I still can’t figure out how to say it? Why don’t you do it like this.”

“It just so happens that I have some guesses about the current situation. Let me explain my guesses, and you can correct or make up according to the actual situation—how about it?”

This seems to be a good idea. From Xu Tuoran’s point of view, it can be regarded as gradual and easy to accept. Therefore, the system thought for a while and decisively gave an affirmative answer.

So soon, Xu Tuoran asked his first question.

She looked at the faith box in her hand, and said slowly:

“Let me ask you, is this world also packed in a box?”

“…” The system was stunned, and seemed to hear a click in its own consciousness.

“What?” It couldn’t believe its ears for a moment.

“I said, box.”

Xu Tuoran spoke word by word, stretched out his hand suddenly, and threw the faith box in his hand high up.

The lid is fully opened with the action of throwing up. A large piece of light in the box floated out like fireflies, and solidified in the air within reach, like another starry sky close at hand.

“Of course, I’m not talking about this box.” Xu Tuoran clapped his hands, and further added, “Although this is just my guess, there is no evidence. But Principal Shangguan once said that the world itself is a huge reincarnation…”

One of the characteristics of the fragmented world in the belief box is that time will enter a cycle with the activities of the “protagonist”.

reincarnation. cycle. Xu Tuoran couldn’t help being a little concerned about such a coincidence. Or in other words, it gave birth to some kind of intuition.

That’s why, the first thing she asked was this question.

“So, is our world just in a ‘box’?

“A larger…belief box that holds more worlds and deeper time.”

Xu Tuoran repeated his question again, raised his head slightly, and the pupils of his eyes reflected the dots of fluorescent light in the air.

At this moment, the system’s answer finally sounded in her mind.

It says yes.

Xu Tuoran: “…”

“Then who owns that huge faith box?” After a pause, she asked softly again.

This time, the system gave answers faster.

It says yours.
