What’s Wrong With Seeking Death? - Chapter 150

The habit of wearing sunglasses to go out was developed by Xu Tuoran when he was hunting Jiang Lin’s body.

Not just her. Now all insiders basically have the habit of wearing sunglasses or helmets when in contact with suspicious objects. It’s just that Xu Tuoran has a unique advantage compared to others – danger prediction.

Through the timing and strength of the danger prediction, she can roughly judge the danger of the object in front of her. If the other party has been completely controlled by Jiang Lin’s split body, then the alarm will often sound the first time they come into contact with the other party; but if they are only in the parasitic stage, they will only respond when the two are about to look at each other.

…like now.

Xu Turan’s thoughts turned, he stared at the spirited young man in front of him for a moment, and suddenly smiled softly.

“By the way, Xiao Zhang.” She pushed the drink away a little, and took out a pen instead, “If it’s convenient, can I ask you something?”

“…and then?”

Two hours later, Xu Tuoran’s residence.

While peeling a fat potato, Yang Buqi asked curiously: “You found that Xiao Zhang has been parasitized by Jiang Lin’s split body. Then?”

Xu Tuoran was sitting at the dining table swiping his phone, and he didn’t raise his head when he heard the words: “Then I left.”

Yang Buqi: “…?”

“Before I left, I gave him my current address.” Xu Tuoran continued, “I made a reservation with him. Today next week, let him come and deliver fruit.”

Yang Buqi: “…???”

“By the way, I also told him that you are living with me now.” Xu Tuoran said lightly, “I told him that the specific order still needs to be discussed with you, and you will call to confirm when the time comes… By the way, Xiao Zhang knows Can you tell the difference between lies?”

Yang Buqi: “…um.”

“That’s good.” Xu Tueran nodded, “The parasitic body in his body should also know about it.”

In this way, the other party should be more cautious. At least before taking full control of Xiao Zhang, he will think more about it.

To be on the safe side, Xu Turan still sent a message to Su Sui’er from the Renxinyuan, suggesting that she pay more attention to Xiao Zhang’s situation from time to time. Yang Buqi pondered for a while, but felt a little strange: “I thought you would pack him and take him directly to the camphor forest?”

“How to pack? He’s not a capable person now.” Xu Tuoran said seriously, “It’s common for a capable person to lose contact for a few days, and there are organizations that can help cover it up. But now he is helping his family with the shop and going to school. It would be noticeable if it disappeared suddenly.”

Yang Buqi: …

He turned his head and looked at Xu Tuoran for a moment, then put down the potatoes he had peeled in his hand: “Is it really just because of this reason?”

Xu Tuoran’s eyes turned lightly, and considering Yang Buqi’s ability, he told the truth straightforwardly: “This is only one of the reasons.”

The implication is that there are other reasons. It’s just that these reasons cannot be said in too much detail.

Yang Buqi sighed, turned around and pulled out a kitchen knife. Just as he was about to shred it, he asked one more question after thinking about it: “What if there are other accidents during this period? For example, Xiao Zhang was completely attached by Jiang Lin. body, or he temporarily changed his mind not to send it away…”

“I won’t change my mind.” Xu Tuoran said firmly, “That fruit shop is already my domain. He can’t disobey me.”

Yang Buqi paused, and turned around in surprise: “You sold his shop?!”

“What kind of land…Of course not, what are you thinking!” Xu Tuoran choked on his brain circuit for the first time, “I mean, I have already divided that piece of land into my country—”

And before and after Xiao Zhang agreed to her delivery request, he set up rules such as “no rejection” and “no regrets after agreeing”.

After the order was upgraded to Chen level, although she didn’t get any new skills, her “absolute kingship” got a big boost. The first is the demarcated country – even after she leaves, the selected country can still exist, and the internal rules will continue to operate. And multiple countries are allowed to exist at the same time.

Secondly, there is an additional sub-skill of “Subject Mark”. To put it simply, she can mark the people with her will, and the marked people, even after leaving the country, need to follow certain rules and effects in the country. The maintenance time of the mark depends on the duration of the corresponding country.

A country as big as a fruit shop is more than enough to last a week. In addition, Xiao Zhang has been designated by Xu Tuoran as a “marked citizen”, so within this week, there is basically no need to worry about his repentance.

As for being fully possessed…

“I don’t think the Omniscient will take Xiao Zhang as a possession object. At least not now.” Xu Tuoran leaned back on the chair back, “The split body can obtain information through Xiao Zhang. That is to say, Omniscient Chong must know about the deal between Xiao Zhang and me. But Xiao Zhang’s own power is too weak now, and it is absolutely stupid for the all-knowing worm to directly attach to him.”

Xiao Zhang himself is only at the firefly level of the beast, even if the omniscient insect completely possesses him, it will not change the fact that he needs to climb up from the firefly level. Not only that, but the Hui-level omniscient power that comes with it may not be able to be fully utilized. If you want to use it smoothly, you may have to unlock it slowly like Xu Tuoran—at least that’s what the system said.

In other words, it is not cost-effective to use the ability to directly transfer to Xiao Zhang. Xu Tuoran didn’t think that omniscient worm would be so stupid.

If this is excluded, there are only two possibilities. First, the other party will use the information obtained from Xiao Zhang to directly dispatch the body and come to deliver food. The second is that the other party stands still and continues to maintain the status quo until they use the opportunity of Xiao Zhang to give fruit to obtain more information.

The only variable is that Yongji, who has not yet revealed his true face, is inclined to iron nematodes. If Jiang Lin brought it to fight, it might be a bit troublesome. But Xu Tuoran was very skeptical about whether their relationship with each other was that good—after all, Jiang Lin had come to kill Jiang Lin back then.

But there is one thing to say, if the two worms really cooperate, it would be a good thing for Xu Turan to choose to directly kill this address to make trouble.

Here is her territory, home court advantage, and Yang Buqi’s support. If the other party comes over, it happens to be solved together, and the plot of “life and death crisis” can be passed by the way, killing two birds with one stone.

And if the all-knowing worm chooses the second path, it will only rely on Xiao Zhang to spy on information. In the short term, it may be considered safer. But according to Xu Tuoran’s complete plan, in this way, her risk may be even greater…

Xu Tuoran was thinking silently, and the sound of potato chips being put into the pot rang in his ears. After a pause for a few seconds, Yang Buqi’s voice came again:

“Then can I ask one more thing?”

He covered the pot and turned his head halfway: “Why do you want to set the matter for a week later?”

Xu Tuoran: “…”

“Because some of the projects I’m working on are expected to produce results within this week.” She thought for a while, then slightly tilted her head, “How to proceed after that depends on the results of these projects.”

…project?

A question mark floated in Yang Buqi’s mind again, but seeing Xu Tuoran’s determined look, he thought for a while, and finally did not ask again, but turned his head and continued to cook the potatoes in front of him.

After lunch, Yang Buqi went out habitually—because of his physical recovery, he returned to the ranks of ability users again. However, he did not return to the Tzu Chi Temple, but only contacted the few ability users he met in the camphor forest to provide them with treatment or medicine. Or assist in some sealing work.

Xu Turan returned to the upstairs domain alone.

As before, domains only exist in upstairs bedrooms. It’s just that Xu Tuoran expanded the internal scale of the domain again and again out of personal preference. The current domain looks like an independent large flat.

The range of activities is even larger than that of real villas.

Yang Buqi insisted that he must eat on time when he could eat normally, so he would try his best to get Xu Turan out of the domain every meal time. At other times, as long as there is no need to go out to deal with Jiang Lin’s split body, Xu Tuoran will stay in the domain all the time to ensure that his split bodies can work overtime in their sleep—

The splinters were housed in bedrooms on either side of the corridor. One person in one room, they all slept peacefully. Out of caution, Yang Buqi once opened the door and went in after getting Xu Tuoran’s permission.

Xu Tueran didn’t know what he saw, but he only knew that he was in a bad mood after he came out. He was in a trance all afternoon, and his eyes were still severely congested. Fortunately, Yang Buqi’s self-healing ability is amazing, and the symptoms subsided soon. After finishing the work, he can even drag his sick body and continue to make dinner for her regularly.

It’s just that his mental state was really bad that day, and the dishes served on the table were more and more tragic, even with raw meat. It was rare for the system, which had always been ignorant of Yang, not to ridicule him. After a long silence, he said inexplicably, okay, he can handle it.

It made Xu vainly confused.

Except for that time, no one else has entered the split body’s bedroom. Xu Tuoran held regular meetings, all of which were held in his sleep—anyone can enter the Faith Box, which is very suitable as a meeting place. As the main body, she also has one-to-one contact with all split bodies, so it is convenient to pull people directly.

And those splinters, although they will wake up for a moment when they exit the belief box, under the influence of the runes, they will often fall asleep soon, return to their posts, and continue to work hard.

As a supervisor, Xu Tuoran, in addition to going to the Palace of Order to watch rabbits every night, also goes to the Faith Box project team to help move bricks from time to time—

I have to say that what I said at the beginning of believing in the box was in vain actually made a lot of sense.

The belief points generated in the box can not only be converted into the number of walking steps, but can also be used directly to have more impact on the world in the box. Building, modifying, creating miracles… The further points you get will also be doubled.

So far, the time cycle of the city in the box has now been extended from less than a day at the beginning to almost a month, and the advantages accumulated in the cycle have also begun to manifest.

The most typical is Jason. He wakes up every day, still worrying about going to work, but what he lives in is no longer a simple and illegal building in an alley that is not as good as a warehouse, but an ordinary residential house that is not spacious, but clean and bright. The place where he works is still a factory, but the working hours have changed from 007 to 9 to 5, and the working environment has become cleaner and more decent.

Jason, the person involved, will never recall the previous cycle, but he seems to know instinctively that this life comes from some force he believes in. Because of this, he will dedicate all his loyalty from the beginning—in conversion, at least two hundred faith points.

And that doesn’t even include the mission part. Believers like Jason, who are full of loyalty at the beginning of the chapter, will get bonus points for doing tasks. Such interest rates and interest rates, plus three people, including the supervisor, worked in shifts. The point supply of the Faith Box naturally followed suit.

That’s why Xu Tuoran judged that her “project” could produce results within a week at most.

—Facts have proved that she is indeed right.

The incident happened on the sixth day after Xu Tuoran met Xiao Zhang.

That day, one of her split bodies—the natural disaster in vain, successfully reached the boundary of the Chen-level area of ​​the natural disaster cemetery.

Xu Tuoran didn’t realize this at first. She was awake at that time, and was still discussing with Yang Buqi enthusiastically how to modify Xiaofenhua’s climbing frame. In the middle of speaking, I suddenly felt a strong sense of drowsiness surged up, and it seemed that there was a hand stretched out from a distant place, pulling at her consciousness all the time.

Before he had time to say anything, Xu Tuoran fell down in front of Yang Buqi.

Yang Buqi was startled, subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch the person, observed for a moment in fear, confirmed that Xu Tuoran was just asleep, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

He wanted to shake Xu Tuoran awake, but just as he stretched out his hand, he seemed to sense something suddenly and froze in place. The little pink flower next to her didn’t know why, so she waited for a while and saw that he didn’t move, so she simply climbed up along Xu Tuoran’s clothes, and was about to pat Xu Tuoran’s cheek with a leaf, but Yang Buqi, who came back to his senses, slapped him. pushed down.

“Don’t tease her.” He looked at the little pink flower that was scrambling up from the ground, and shook his head slightly, “Now is a very critical time—you can’t tease her.”

After finishing speaking, he picked up Xu Tuoran who had fallen asleep, turned around and walked to the bed. However, halfway through, his expression suddenly changed again.

…is vibrating.

The ice beneath his feet was trembling.

The rumbling sound seemed to come from a very far away place. It also looks like a fist that has been hidden deep in the ground, hammering upwards hard one after another.

The trembling feeling became more and more intense, and the floor cracked and cracked, gushing out gurgling blood. At the same time, black clouds began to gather under the ceiling above the head. Lightning flashed in the clouds, and the air stagnated, as if a strong storm was brewing.

…No, not as if.

Hearing a strange sound coming from the depths of the corridor, Yang Buqi’s heart skipped a beat again, and he hurried over to take a look at Xu Turan in his arms, his expression became even more numb in an instant.

At the end of the corridor, a whirlwind visible to the naked eye was taking shape, frantically stirring the surrounding water vapor and air.

“… Tornado?” Yang Buqi muttered to himself in disbelief. My brain almost shuts down.

There is a tornado in the house, is he crazy or the world is crazy? ?

He was still in shock when his trousers were suddenly ripped off forcefully. He looked down, only to realize that the little pink flower that he had forgotten by the side had run over—it seemed to be suffering, and its body shrank.

Whether it’s leaves or petals, they all become shriveled and wrinkled in just a few breaths. Only then did Yang Buqi realize that the surrounding temperature seemed to be rising rapidly.

Before he had time to think about it, Yang Buqi immediately allocated a little vitality to it, signaling it to crawl into his pocket. Then he took a few steps back, gritted his teeth, hugged Xu Tuoran who was motionless in his arms, turned and ran towards the other side.

He could not determine the origin of these visions. But to be on the safe side, it’s better to stay away first.

Just as he was about to rush to the exit of the domain, he heard a strange voice.

“I suggest you better not go out now.”

Yang Buqi: “…?”

He paused, lowered his head in surprise, and looked at the source of the voice just now.

I saw Xu Turan in his arms still drooping his head, motionless. The loose hair suddenly trembled twice.

In the next second, a lump of minced meat slammed onto the shaking floor, squirmed and turned around, opened one big eye, and looked at Yang Buqi with a subtle expression:

“With all due respect, the current stars are upgraded in the domain, and all the side effects of natural disasters will only occur in the domain. If you take her out of here, the scope of the impact will be large.”

Yang Buqi: “…”

Before that, can you tell me, what are you?

at the same time.

Natural disaster cemetery, within the Chen-level area.

Xu Tuoran folded his arms, staring at the natural disaster in front of him.

A step beyond her, is a door. A door stands alone on the ground. There is nothing on the left and right of it, but Xu Turan can feel that there is a barrier there—a barrier that cannot be broken through.

If you want to go to the other side of the barrier, you can only go through that door. That closed door.

“…So.” After a pause for a few seconds, Xu Tuoran said softly, “This is the border of the Chen class, right?”

The natural calamity stared in vain, and nodded.

“Your progress is impressive.” Xu Tuoran continued, “But can you tell me what is the reason for pulling me in now?”

“I didn’t pull you…” Natural Disaster seemed to be in vain to understand the situation, “I was about to open the door just now, but the door didn’t open… And then, you came here.”

In other words, is it other forces that dragged me here?

Xu Tuoran turned his head thoughtfully, and looked at the door next to him: “Why didn’t you open it just now?”

“The key can’t be turned.” Scourge shook his head in vain, and at the same time spread his palm, “This key, after being inserted, can’t be turned.”

In her palm lay a bronze key emitting a shimmer. On the key handle is a moiré-like pattern.

The key to natural disasters.

One of the rewards given by the death value system. Xu Tuoran had never seen it before, but he recognized it naturally. Then feel strange again.

The key that belongs to the natural disaster, how can it not open the door of the natural disaster.

For some reason, there was no sound from the system at this time. Xu Tuoran thought for a while, took the key from the natural calamity in vain, and tried to walk towards the door.

With a click, the key is inserted into the lock. Xu Tueran tried to turn it around, but there was another click.

The door in front of him opened in response. A ball of light flickered in the door, and the thorns opened and closed, as if breathing lightly.

Xu Tuoran was actually not quite sure what he saw. Because the moment her eyes met the ball of light, the scene in front of her suddenly became shaken—the picture became shattered, and her vision became distorted. Different pictures appeared in front of her eyes at the same time, spliced ​​together like rags. She seemed to be a dragonfly, looking at everything through complex compound eyes. Each small eye saw a different world.

She saw blood gushing out from the shaking ground, with broken bones, ghosts, and mournful singing floating in the blood; she saw large clusters of snowflakes falling from the gloomy sky, and each cluster of snow was a distorted monster*; She saw the black mist floating in the world like a living thing, and wherever it went, the flesh and blood turned into white bones in the blink of an eye.

She heard thunder and wind and laughter. She saw skyfire, lava and dancing. She saw the girl in the name of barrenness stand up arrogantly, her scorched and rotten skirt shook open, revealing piles of corpses.

There are too many broken pictures in front of me, so many that even the location of the light is covered. Xu Tuoran clenched the corners of his lips, walked forward based on his memory, and stretched out his hand to try to grab it—

There was a sharp pain in the palm. At the same time, there were more broken pictures in front of me.

Quarrels, provocations, plagues, battles, wailing, screaming, hostility that has no place to rest, and restless hearts—not only natural disasters, but also man-made disasters.

The pain in the palm was more intense, as if something sharp was burrowing into it. Xu Turan somehow knew that he could not retreat at this time.

After finally getting here, there is absolutely no refund…Eligibility is only once…

Gritting her teeth, she simply jumped forward. Her sight was blocked, but she could clearly feel that she had bumped into something—the entire arm stretched forward was instantly burnt into charcoal, Xu vainly ignored it and continued to pounce forward. The same pain immediately hit his chest, like a rampaging fireball.

But soon, this pain turned into a familiar warmth.

All the fragmented pictures disappeared in an instant, Xu Turan shook twice, and finally saw where she was – she was already standing behind the door, the surrounding was empty, there was nothing, even the ground beneath her was nothingness.

She lowered her head slowly, only to see that most of the light she saw earlier had melted into her chest.

Only a small half is still exposed, and the bright thorns move. Xu Tuoran raised his eyebrows slightly, tried to press it with his hand, and finally pushed the ball of light into it completely.

In the next second, Xu Tuoran slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing I saw was Yang Buqi’s tired face. Xu Tueran pushed him away, muttering “What time is it?”, and sitting up, after seeing the surrounding scene clearly, he couldn’t help being taken aback.

It was only then that she realized that she was not actually lying on the bed at the moment—it was a mattress made of tree rattan under her body. And the entire mattress is supported on Xiaofenhua’s climbing frame.

The climbing frame was also covered with vines at the moment, and a large number of branches lifted upwards, which stabilized the platform she was on.

As for Yang Buqi, he was actually standing on another protruding tree trunk. No wonder Xu Turan looked at him just now and felt that he seemed to be much shorter.

“What’s the situation?” She sat up inexplicably, and after seeing the situation below, her breathing suddenly stagnated—

The floor made of ice was almost shattered into spider webs, and there were several large holes in the middle. Dust, scorching marks, or wet blood can be seen everywhere on the ground, and mutilated limbs are still thrashing in the blood.

As far as the eye can see, all the furniture has also been dismantled. The armchair I used to sit on turned into a scorched black pile, and all the decorative plants were dried out. It was a tragic scene…

Xu Tuoran was stunned, and it took him a while to find his own voice: “Has Jiang Lin come?”

“No… this is a side effect of natural disasters and rising stars.” Yang Buqi exhaled and wiped the sweat from his face, “Fortunately, you upgraded in the domain. All the side effects are confined here, and the power is also limited.” greatly weakened…”

I just don’t know if the split bodies sleeping in other bedrooms have been affected. Yang Buqi was only focused on taking Xu Tuoran to escape, and didn’t care about watching.

Xu Tuoran gave a short “hmm”, his expression still dull. Seeing this, Yang Buqi said again: “Fortunately, it is in the domain, and there is no substantial loss. It looks miserable, but it should be fine after repairing… By the way, just now…”

He wanted to say that just a second before Xu Tuoran woke up, all the natural disaster visions stopped instantly, and wanted to confirm whether Xu Tuoran had made substantial progress. However, before he finished speaking, Xu Tuoran closed his eyes again, drooped his head, and fell down again.

Yang Buqi is once a stranger and twice acquainted, and this time he is very proficient in picking people up. However, when he held her in his arms, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Isn’t it all over? How did this fall asleep again?

Yang Buqi was stunned again.

…Unaware that Xu Tuoran, who was forcibly dragged into the path of chaos at this moment, looked at the closed door in front of him, and was also thinking about the same problem.
