What’s Wrong With Seeking Death? - Chapter 149

“…You mean, you now level up by splitting yourself up?!”

An hour later, in Xu Tuoran’s bedroom, Yang Buqi combed Xu Turan’s hair while making a sound of surprise.

Xu Tueran gave an “ah” as a matter of course, and when he noticed Yang Buqi’s movements, he paused for a moment, and raised his eyes: “You seem to be very surprised.”

“It’s no surprise that this kind of thing is not surprising.” Yang Buqi said, looking at the corridor full of bedrooms next to him as if feeling something, and then quickly looked away, “This method is good for your body…”

“But your focus is too strange.” Before he could finish speaking, Xu Tueran said suddenly, “I thought you would care more about the truth of the world in the box, or my identity. Or…”

Xu Tueran stopped here, and Yang Buqi, who was applying potion to her head, asked, “What?”

“Your identity.” Xu Tuoran blinked, “But you didn’t react with any surprise after hearing this just now.”

“You should mention his black history of being gnawed by star fragments until he lost his pants!” The system in his mind took the opportunity to say, “Or you should mention the fact that he was blown up by the educator. Then his reaction must be great!”

“…” Xu Tuoran closed his eyes and shut his mouth with a growl in his consciousness. The system silenced instantly, and at this moment, Yang Buqi seemed to smile, and spoke again:

“Have I ever told you that I also saw something when I was drifting in time and space?”

“…I seem to have mentioned it.” Xu Tuoran was startled, and asked curiously, “What did you see?”

“Some things related to me, past events.” Yang Buqi said, “There are also some scenes that seem far away and have nothing to do with me. At that time, I didn’t understand anything, I just felt shocked and confused—but Now, combined with what you said, I understand everything.”

But it’s just “understand”. Just like Xu Tuoran now, what he accepts are only “concepts”.

Xu Tuoran suddenly realized and nodded: “No wonder you are not surprised at all. The co-authors have already seen the trailer.”

Yang Buqi didn’t deny it, and brought the topic back to the previous part: “You haven’t answered me, what kind of split consciousness, will it have any side effects on you?”

“Of course not.” Xu Tuoran denied it without thinking. Yang Buqi paused for another moment, and said suspiciously: “Are you sure? But I noticed that your skin became transparent for a moment…”

“It’s just that sometimes it will cause some instability.” Xu Tuoran took advantage of the situation and changed his words, “but it’s not a big problem.”

Yang Buqi: “…”

It’s true—Yang Buqi’s prophetic ability quickly helped him make a judgment.

But he was still not at ease. After all, for Xu Tuoran, cutting a finger or breaking a hand may be regarded as “not a big problem”.

He still wanted to ask a few more questions, but he was afraid that Xu Tuan would get bored. Just as he was pondering his words, Xu Tuoran turned his eyes and took the opportunity to say, “Compared to this, do you still remember the thing I told you to get rid of me?”

“…Well.” Yang Buqi’s attention was smoothly turned. He hesitated for a while, and said in a very uncertain tone, “I want to confirm first, what do you mean by ‘getting rid of’…”

“It’s ‘getting rid of’ in the usual sense.” Xu Tuoran said firmly, “It means refusing, don’t want it, do you understand what I mean?”

…Sorry, I don’t really want to understand.

Yang Buqi slowed down again. He spent a few seconds thinking about the possibility that Xu Tuoran was tactfully getting rid of him in this way, and finally heaved a deep sigh.

“Does this behavior have any special meaning?” He asked, “What special purpose will it achieve? Or will it involve something?”

Apart from this category, he couldn’t think of a reason for Xu Tuoran to make such a request.

…It can’t be for the sake of getting rid of myself cleverly.

Yang Buqi felt that this idea was a bit ridiculous, but his heart couldn’t help but hang up. On the other side, Xu Turan shook his head slightly, and said solemnly: “I can’t go into details about this matter, just do as I say. gone.”

It’s not intentional concealment. It’s because according to the process, the current Yang Buqi is also one of the key related objects of the ceremony, and it is the target that needs to be operated. According to the system, letting such targets know the specific content of the ceremony in advance and provide deliberate assistance will directly lead to the failure of the ceremony’s judgment. Therefore, she could not reveal more to Yang Buqi.

…In fact, directly asking Yang Buqi to “dump” her like this is already on the verge of breaking the rules. It’s just because I don’t know how Yang Buqi will operate, so I can’t judge for the time being.

However, the system has already thought of a surefire solution—

“Just kill him and let him die!” The system once suggested enthusiastically, “This is also a kind of abandonment! The ceremony can definitely be passed!”

Of course, after saying this, it was yelled at by Xu Tuoran.

Thanks to the fact that it has no entity now, otherwise this matter might not be as simple as being yelled at.

As for the pre-stage of this process, that is, Xu Tuoran’s “seduction” to Yang Buqi, Xu Tuoran himself is also a little confused about this part-not because he is confused about how to proceed, but because he was confused as early as in the novel “Pure Love”. When in the dark room, this link is automatically calculated, and a little death value is directly credited.

Strictly speaking, it was after she did some kind of behavior towards Yang Buqi that would block everyone below the middle level. At that time, Xu Tuoran thought that this was included in the link of “Pure Love”, but later he found out that this was not the case.

…Thinking about it this way, the rate of return for that kiss is actually quite high.

Xu Turan thought silently, lowering his eyes. On the other hand, Yang Buqi connected everything together, becoming more and more sure of his guess: “Does the specific act of ‘getting rid of’ have anything to do with this world in the box?”

“Almost.” Xu Tuoran nodded, “This is a major event that can save the world.”

“But it’s still the same sentence, I can’t say too much about it.”

“Okay.” Yang Buqi smiled, put down the comb and potion in his hand, and picked up a hair dryer from the table next to it—beside the hair dryer, there was a pair of hair dryers that he had just gotten from Xu Turan’s head. Remove the ears.

The ears are in the shape of willow leaves, thin and long. It looks like a rabbit ear, but the inner wall of the ear is not filled with blood vessels and skin, but a thin layer of black mist, and there are things bowing from time to time in the mist, which looks very lively.

From Yang Buqi’s point of view, it’s not really scary. Just staring at it for a few seconds will make people feel a sudden pain in the head, which makes him feel a little regretful.

Yang Buqi forced himself to look back, and used a hair dryer to blow up Xu Tuoran’s newly grown fluffy hair. Xu Tuoran squinted his eyes quite comfortably, and suddenly said: “By the way, did you see anything interesting during this time-space drift?”

Is it fun…Yang Buqi thought for a while, and said: “I saw a cute black rabbit, who can’t walk with his feet, but has to use his ears, okay?”

“What the hell?” Xu Tuoran raised his eyebrows slightly, “What kind of strange thing is this, did the monster change? That monster is too sick.”

Yang Buqi seemed to want to continue to say something, but when he heard what she said, his words froze suddenly, as if he didn’t know how to speak. At the same time, the system in his mind gave a subtle “hmm”.

I don’t know what it means.

Noticing that it hesitated to speak, Xu Tuoran couldn’t help but move. Just as he was about to ask, Yang Buqi changed the subject on his own initiative: “Also… it’s probably a shooting star… By the way, when I mentioned this, I remembered something again.”

Yang Buqi mentioned Xu Tuoran’s lock of hair and blew gently, and said casually: “Do you remember the scene when you saw Principal Shangguan’s notes?”

“I remember.” Xu Tuoran nodded, “At that time, your backpack was not zipped properly, the notebook fell out, and the torn pieces of paper were also thrown out…”

Yang Buqi: “I said at the time that I don’t know who tore off those pages.”

Xu vainly nodded. She has an impression of it.

Immediately after hearing her “ah”, “So it’s you—”

“During this drifting, I returned to that point in time.” Yang Buqi said with a smile, “It’s in my own room, and no one else can see me.”

At that moment, like blessing to his heart, he suddenly understood what he should do.

That’s why Yang Buqi at the time didn’t notice that the thing had been touched at all—no one knew better than himself how to hide it from his nose.

Thinking about it carefully, this move seems inconspicuous, but it also somewhat affected the subsequent progress—because Xu Tuoran had just begun to doubt his identity, coupled with a lot of consumption, his mental state was not good, and Yang Buqi himself was against the paper. The understanding of the above content is somewhat pessimistic. Although Yang Buqi knew that he would definitely share the content on the paper with Xu Tuoran in the end, it was hard to say when exactly.

It was those few pages of scattered paper that speeded up the progress at this time. A series of discussions afterwards, including matching Jiang Lin’s identity with “iron nematodes”… Thinking about it now, many things appeared at that time.

Of course, what Yang Buqi experienced during that time period was not the only one—

Yang Buqi narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of something, suddenly lifted the corner of his lower lip slightly.

Xu Turan clearly turned his back to Yang Buqi, but at this moment, as if he felt something, he asked curiously, “Did you think of something happy?”

Yang Buqi responded in a low voice, but did not explain further, but changed the subject and brought up the matter of “getting rid of” again:

“I will cooperate with your request.”

While talking, he put down the hair dryer, picked up the comb again, and carefully inserted it between Xu Tuoran’s hair: “But if this matter is not urgent, can you delay it a little bit?”

“Slowly?” Xu Tuoran shook his head following his movements, puzzled, “Why?”

“…Because I am very happy now.” Yang Buqi said, “I want to keep this happy feeling as long as possible.”

“?” Xu Tuoran was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn’t laugh or cry, “Hey, did you not understand something, didn’t you want you to really get rid of me… Well, forget it.”

There should be nothing wrong with delaying it a bit. Anyway, it doesn’t matter if the plot required for the ceremony is disrupted.

“Oh yes, you haven’t answered me yet. Did you just remember something happy?”

Yang Buqi gave another “hmm” and carefully held a strand of her hair in his palm.

“I had a dream.” He whispered, “I dreamed that a star fell into my arms.”

Although it is very hot, although the star is a bit grumpy…but it’s not a big deal, this is a happy thing.

So far, Xu Tuoran’s unfinished plots are only “seduce the male supporting role and get pushed away” and “belittle the potential villain and thus lead to death”.

On Yang Buqi’s side, at his request, his related scenes were ranked last. The role of the “potential stock villain” was naturally brought up.

However, this episode has been waiting for a few days, because the “potential villain” is currently affiliated with the Renxinyuan, and according to the information obtained from Bixian Zhibi and Su Sui’er, that person is currently out of town, and it will take a while. to return to this city.

Xu Tuoran was not idle either. He had forced Yang Buqi to stay in his domain these few days. He took the opportunity to make progress in the Palace of Order for a few nights, and successfully raised the Order Tendency to Chen level—and before and after the upgrade, also I didn’t feel any side effects, but for two days at most, I became extremely obsessive-compulsive.

There is also a little good news. That is the White Rabbit who led the way in the Palace of Order, and finally returned to normal…at least the appearance returned to normal. Looks like a cute bunny again.

I just don’t know why, the white rabbit looks normal, but its behavior has become a little strange. It’s nothing more than going around in circles around itself every day. It also bends its head down from time to time, props it on the ground with a pair of rabbit ears, and moves its feet up to the sky. Not only does it move, it also insists on dancing to itself in this inexplicable way…

Have you ever seen a rabbit hop and kick with bunny ears? Xu vainly saw it. Not only tap, she also saw ballet, tango and another kind of dance that is very unrestrained and powerful in just a few nights…

After waking up, she looked it up from memory and thought it was a bit like flamenco, but she couldn’t be sure.

… Anyway, the other party still worked. Every night, he was earnestly helping to lead the way, dancing and dancing when he was happy, so Xu Tuan didn’t care.

And just when she finally figured out the difference between flamenco and tango, that potential villain finally appeared in the same city.

Coincidentally, this Xu Tuoran has actually dealt with him before.

Xiao Zhang—a firefly-level ability user of Renxinyuan. Due to lack of qualifications and the natural ability to attract abominations, she has not performed well for a long time, and will always be polluted by various accidents.

He obviously has a strong longing for the able-bodied people, but he always becomes the most hippie existence in the team. Accompanied by the unbearable complaints and disgust of the companions. The inner depression and confusion plus the accumulation of pollution effects will eventually lead to mental imbalance.

Finally, I met the original heroine in a mission, and because of the original heroine’s unintentional scolding, the backlog of emotions completely broke out, completely out of control and turned into an abomination, and quickly reached unprecedented high achievements in this new field…

“Understood.” On the car to meet, Xu Tuoran went through the plot again, firmly pushed down the sunglasses on his face, “So according to the original plot, he is the culprit who caused the original owner’s death?”

“One of the culprits.” The system said, “In different cycles, the cause of death of the original owner is different. The only thing in common is that she will eventually die of an inhuman.”

Similarly, Xiao Zhang will definitely become an abomination, but the trigger is different every time he encounters it.

From the perspective of the original owner, Xiao Zhang is the culprit with a higher probability of occurrence. Because the plot on his side is easier to trigger, the system decided on this version at the beginning.

Of course, now that the plot has developed to this extent, the system is not sure whether there is such a saying as “easy to trigger”.

“Although there is only Firefly now, once he becomes an abomination, the accumulated power of so many cycles, coupled with his own talent, the explosive power will be quite terrifying.” The system said, “But the problem now is, he The time to lose control is one year later, which is too late for us. Although this is against human morality, I suggest that some means can be used to make this happen earlier.”

“…It doesn’t have to be like this.” Xu Tuoran leaned on the back of the car’s back seat, and said slowly in his consciousness, “By the way, the original plot only said that he caused the accident, but it doesn’t mean that the accident was him, right?”

System: “…What do you want to say?”

“We don’t have to make him an abomination.” Xu Tuoran took it for granted, “I have met Xiao Zhang, and he is very talented in killing. As long as you follow him, you don’t have to worry about trouble.”

Rounding up, this is considered to be the completion of the ceremony.

“Please allow me to remind you that the ‘crisis’ required for this ceremony is not just to the level of closing a small black room.” The system said, “It must be something that can make you feel the danger, that can put you in danger.” The existence pushed to the critical point of life and death… are you sure you can reach this step just by the blindness of an ordinary firefly-level ability user?”

“If you can’t reach it, you have to try.” Xu Tuoran stretched his shoulders and neck, “Besides, I have confidence in Xiao Zhang’s ability to lure monsters. As long as he is still in the circle of capable people, he will not worry about not being able to catch big ones… ?”

Before he could finish speaking, the taxi stopped suddenly.

“No. 25, Yongji Road. We’re here.” The driver said, “Can you park on this side of the road?”

Xu Tuoran responded, and looked out of the car window, his expression suddenly became subtle.

— This address was read by her through the pen of the pen fairy. The pen of the pen fairy did not give any more information, but only wrote the number of the street where he is currently located.

Therefore, at the moment when he saw the opposite storefront, Xu Tuoran was in a daze.

“Lao Zhang Fruit Supermarket…” She muttered the name of the shop opposite. I saw that outside the shop, there were wheat ears and flowers to celebrate the opening of the new shop.

“Which… old Zhang is this again?”

Another ten minutes later.

“Well, this is my store! It’s newly opened!”

Xiao Zhang said happily, and handed a cup of sugarcane juice to Xu Tuoran: “Sister Xu, here it is, freshly squeezed!”

“Ah…thank you.” Xu Tuoran took the drink, thanked him while scanning the surroundings, paused for a few seconds, and asked tentatively, “So, are you here temporarily to help the family?”

“Well, that’s right!” Xiao Zhang nodded heartily. Xu Tuoran heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he brought the sugarcane juice to his lips, he heard Xiao Zhang say, “The opening of the new store is quite busy. I’m going back to school when I’m done!”

Xu Tuoran couldn’t help but pause: “School?”

“That’s right, I’m still in school. Vocational school, but it’s not very strict, and the management is not strict.” Xiao Zhang smiled shyly, “I used to be busy with ability users and took a lot of classes. I have to think about it in the future. The solution is slowly being made up. Anyway, I have to get the graduation certificate.”

Xu Tuoran: “…before?”

“Well. Oh, by the way, Miss Xu, you don’t know, do you?” Xiao Zhang said, “I resigned my part-time job at the Renxinyuan. I won’t do that kind of thing in the future. Just study with peace of mind.”

Xu Tuoran: “…after reading the book?”

“I’m not sure yet. Maybe go to repair the machine tool, that’s what I learned. The teacher also said that I’m quite talented.” Xiao Zhang scratched his face, “But it’s also possible to help the family continue to open the shop.”

Xu Tuoran: “…Then, where is the capable person?”

“Don’t do it anymore.” Xiao Zhang laughed, “I’ve figured it out now. Some things still depend on talent. Since it’s really not suitable for you, then don’t force yourself, let go of everything, and turn to a field that is more suitable for you. It’s also a good choice.”

“…” Xu Turan was silent for a moment, then raised his hand to wipe his face, “No, but you are a capable person…”

“Ah, I asked Renxin Yuan about it.” Xiao Zhang lowered his voice, “Originally, I only have the firefly level, so it’s not difficult to control it. Regular mental examinations and some amulets will do. Just to be on the safe side, I also had them get rune tattoos done on me. It’s less likely to be picked up by weird things.”

Xu Tuoran: “…”

“This is what you said, Xiao Zhang who is full of longing for the ability user industry?” She was silent for a while, and asked the system subconsciously.

System: “…Don’t ask me. Ask yourself. What did you do to this child?”

What did I do, I didn’t do anything but save him twice ok…

Xu Turan was baffled, and suddenly saw Xiao Zhang paused in front of him, and after two seconds, he took a deep breath again, showing a relieved smile.

“Actually, if I really want to talk about it, I can think about it, thanks to you, sister Xu.”

…Don’t come here, I haven’t beaten you.

Xu Tuoran put the sugarcane juice into his mouth as if nothing had happened, and then said softly, “Isn’t it?”

“Well, it’s a kind of influence.” Xiao Zhang sighed, “Sister Xu, to be honest, you have always been mysterious in my eyes. I always believe that you must not be an ordinary ability user, after all, you are so powerful. Plum Blossom Apartment At that time, although others said that you were a rookie with special abilities, I always believed that you were definitely a big boss. No matter how bad you are, you will become a big boss in the future.”

“…” Xu Turan didn’t expect to be greeted with a sudden compliment, and he was taken aback for a while before saying, “Um…thank you.”

Xiao Zhang waved his hand, and continued on his own: “The experience of Dahuaihua actually made me think a lot. I found that as long as people are in the right position, they can always come in handy. As for that Whether the position is the most important thing is not important-in fact, at that time, I had the idea of ​​quitting.

“It was you, sister Xu, who made me make up my mind in the end.”

Xu Tuoran: “…Huh?”

“Sister Xu, don’t you quit now?” Xiao Zhang vowed, “I met Zhu Tang from the Charity Institute that time, she told me that you were going to study and help with the family business, so I quit the Charity Institute and quit this business.”

“It may be a bit exaggerated. But sister Xu, at that time, I really felt enlightened. I think, even someone as talented and rich as you can let go without hesitation. People who are not suitable at all, what can’t you let go of?”

As Xiao Zhang said, he raised the juice in front of him, and touched Xu Tuoran’s glass solemnly:

“In that case, I have to thank you.”

Xu Turan: …

She pulled the corner of her mouth and put sugar cane juice into her mouth. At the same time, another systematic voice sounded in my mind:

“Did you hear that, I still thank you.”

“…you shut up.” Xu Tuoran replied angrily in his heart, and tried to persuade him a few more…Of course, it didn’t work.

She even directly completed the step of “belittling the villain” through sincere advice, and of course a little death value will be credited—this made Xu Tuoran even more confused.

God knows, she just said “it’s a skill for you to attract monsters like this”.

“Well said.” The system applauded back, “Killing people!”

…Can you stop? !

Xu Furan closed her eyes restrainedly, and raised her hand to take off her sunglasses – when she heard the reminder of the death value, her hands shook in shock. The cup in her hand was just tilted, and a little bit of sugarcane juice splashed out of the wide-necked bottle just like that, and just got a little on the edge of her big sunglasses.

However, just as she started to take off her sunglasses, a long-lost voice suddenly sounded in her mind.

The danger prediction, in her mind, “beeped” very lightly.

Xu Turan: …

She paused, then slowly pushed back the sunglasses, and raised her eyes to look at Xiao Zhang opposite—through the sunglasses, she couldn’t see the other’s eyes clearly.

Xu Turan thought for a while, then tentatively said, “Xiao Zhang, your aptitude is a beast, right?”

“Yeah.” Xiao Zhang nodded of course, “Firefly-level beast. What’s wrong?”

Nothing, just a little emotion. Xu vainly thought silently.

Xiao Zhang, you really never let me down.
