What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?

"...Are you sure you want this?"

A few minutes later, Pu Han covered the lid with a good marker, and flicked his bangs: "In case this rune doesn't work..."

"Then I'll die." Xu Tuoran said without raising her head, and finished the last stroke on the floor - the floor is not suitable for writing with a marker pen, this time she used a pen of the pen fairy. The latter was cursing, feeling that his dignity as an abomination had been seriously contemptuous, and he was spitting bubbles madly while drawing runes.

There are many unsightly words in the bubble. Xiao Fenhua took the initiative to crawl out of the backpack, took the branches that Yang Buqi had left for Xu Turan, and punctured them one by one, which is called seriousness.

As for those few trainees, during the period when Xu Tuoran was drawing the runes, his attitude quickly completed the transformation from surprise to bewilderment and then to numbness—if you think about it carefully, cats can grow eyes on their bellies. As far as she is concerned, it seems that it is not difficult for Xiaohua to jump around.

To a certain extent, this also depends on the enlightenment of the barrage to them. Perhaps to share the pressure for Xu Tuoran and Pu Han, the barrage took the initiative to do a lot of explanation work. Although some explanations are quite perfunctory and outrageous, at least they are enough to deal with these trainees.

But at this moment, these trainees were standing in one place crowded together. It wasn't out of fear or exclusion, it was purely to make room for Xu Turan—the set of runes she drew on the ground was quite complicated and occupied a large area. Even though they had tried their best to shrink themselves, Xu Tuoran still struggled to draw because of the size.

Fortunately, although it was difficult, the painting was finally finished—Xu Tuoran looked at the glowing rune array, exhaled, straightened up, and looked at Pu Han: "My side has been completed. How about your side?"

Pu Han gave her an OK gesture, and when he raised his hand, his sleeve slipped off, revealing a set of newly drawn runes on his wrist. It was exactly what Xu Tuoran learned from Shangguan Qi.

With the same rune, there are now six people present, each in a group. Xu Tuoran nodded, turned his head to look at the ice wall in front of him, and frowned slightly.

They were trying to come in—as holder of the land, she could feel it. The animals surrounded outside are challenging the rules of her land together, trying to force their way in.

The iron order of "no entry and exit" was even on the verge of crumbling because of it, and even Xu Tuoran felt uncomfortable for a while. Knowing that she couldn't drag it any longer, she took a deep breath, and she gave instructions:

"Now, everyone, stand back—and close your eyes!"

After the voice fell, she paused for two seconds to give the others time to react. Then without hesitation, he raised one hand, and while removing the surrounding ice walls, he also removed the restrictions on the country!

The resistance disappeared, and the surrounding monsters almost couldn't wait to rush up. The yellow eyes on their bodies turned like countless shaking ghost lamps that were going down the rapids——

However, these "ghost lights" moved forward a few steps before stopping again.

Stopping at a distance of one step away from Xu Tueran, it seemed to be blocked by some invisible force, and it was difficult to take a step forward.

The cats and cats who were in ecstasy two seconds ago fell into rage and anxiety again, turning around Xu Tuoran, neighing annoyingly. The yellow eyes were wide open, staring at Xu Tuoran as if venting anger.

Xu Tuoran looked back without fear, and after feeling it for a while, he happily came to a conclusion:

Great and works.

The Omniscient Restraint Rune given by Principal Shangguan is very effective. The runes at her feet are equally effective.

"Cage of Light" - if I remember correctly, it is the name of this group of rune arrays. This is what she learned when she was in New City, and the demonstrator was an old man nicknamed "Hungry and Hungry Rice" in the game. Xu Tuoran still remembers his description at that time:

Ancient runes that can only be seen and drawn by high-level people with specific tendencies. Different from ordinary defensive runes, it is not only physical defense, it can even isolate omniscient reading and mental attacks.

Can this be called a cage?

Xu Tuoran would like to call it a bunker.

As for what the specific tendency is, I didn't say anything about it, and Xu Tuoran didn't know. But whatever it is, anyway, now that she paints and paints, and this thing works, don't you need to think so much.

"Attention everyone!" Xu Tuoran looked at the star-packed yellow eyes in front of him, and cautiously gave the second instruction, "It's now—adjust the direction!"

At the same time as the words were spoken, the second delineation of the country was also completed quietly. This time the scope of the circle was larger, and all the strange cats within sight were directly circled in - thanks to the fact that these cats were gathering in one place, they could be circled in one wave.

Unlike other trainees, after receiving the second instruction, Pu Han immediately opened his eyes, looked around quickly, took the arm of the person behind him, and moved a few steps in one direction.

While the others kept their eyes closed, they also took each other's hands in turn. At the same time, Xu Tuoran promulgated regulations—

"I declare that no one else may enter or leave my land without my permission!"

When Wang Ling spoke, there seemed to be an echo in the air. The cat monster hovering outside the rune array seemed to be stimulated, and let out strange screams, but Pu Han seemed to have received the final signal, and jumped out without hesitation, pulling the people behind him—a group of people pulled one by one , Sliding out like a small train, the moment the last person left the territory, there was another chill, and the four ice walls stood up like kneeling giants, directly surrounding Xu Turan and a large group of strange cats!

The meowing from inside the ice wall became more intense, causing Pu Han to stop and turn around. Immediately afterwards, Xu Tuoran seemed to yell something, and all the voices fell silent instantly.

Pu Han quickly scanned the range beyond the ice wall to confirm that there were no fish that slipped through the net. Then he moved closer to the ice wall and raised his voice: "Then you come on, let's go find something first."

"...@#￥%!" Xu Tuoran seemed to respond from inside the ice wall. However, Pu Han's hearing is far worse than hers, and she can only hear vague voices.

"What?" he yelled at the top of his voice.

Xu Tuoran: "..."

Two seconds later, Xu Tuoran's voice came out from the ice wall again. This time the voice was loud and clear, as if a loudspeaker had been turned on:

"I said! Hurry up!"

In the end, there is still a bit of spray wheat. Pu Han was startled, nodded quickly, and left with the others.

Inside the ice wall, Xu Tuoran put down the singing pen used to amplify the sound, looked at the group of furious cats in front of him, sat on the ground as if nothing had happened, and opened a can of yogurt.

The "cage of light" is used as the inner circle of protection, and the border of the country is added with an ice wall as the outer circle of protection. In this way, these strange cats are trapped in the middle of the inner and outer circles, unable to advance or retreat. Because of the ice wall, they couldn't look at other people; because of the runes, they couldn't attack Xu Turan either.

The only problem left is that it looks a little disgusting. Xu Tuoran was so disgusted that he didn't even have the intention to score points. While drinking yogurt, he carefully observed the status of the runes on the ground, and at the same time prayed secretly, hoping that the outsiders would act faster.

Without the deterrence of the strange cat, trainees could theoretically open their eyes and act. Coupled with the opening of the bullet screen, it should not be too difficult to find the necessary clues-in fact, because of Pu Han's time travel, they can directly learn the complete clues from the scattered diary fragments. Although due to the process, all diary fragments must be found, but knowing the answer in advance can also improve the speed.

The only thing Xu Tuoran was worried about was that there might be other cats hiding in other rooms outside. She had no way to deal with this part, so she could only borrow a stone spear and let them support themselves. Fortunately, things weren't as bad as she thought—the search process outside sounded smooth. Not long after, there was a vague sound of music coming from outside the ice wall.

It seemed that she was afraid that Xu Furan would forget the rules, so Jiang Siyu kindly reminded her with barrage to remind her to dance to the music.

Xu Tuoran: "..." Are you serious?

It is impossible to dance, the most you can do is radio gymnastics. Xu Tuoran struggled for two seconds, looked at the remaining stone spear, and then at the strange cat staring endlessly outside the rune circle. For some reason, he suddenly didn't resist so much.

How to make myself appear less ashamed in an occasion destined to die?

It's very simple, just find someone more embarrassing than yourself.

Xu Tuoran made up her mind, picked up the stone spear and danced a stick flower meaningfully, and tried to poke the stone spear forward, causing the cat closest to her to flick upwards, her back arched high , Fly like a spring on the foot.

It just took off over there, and a reminder sounded in Xu Tuoran's mind:

[Congratulations, you have obtained 500 death points! 】

Xu Tuoran: "..."

Okay, I already feel the joy of dancing.

Xu Tueran glanced at his death value panel by the way. Unknowingly, the death value has increased by a large amount. Part of it should have been increased during the period when I was arrested, but my consciousness was blank at that time and I didn't hear the sound. Determine source...

But forget it, never mind.

Xu Furan thought indifferently, turned off the death value panel in his consciousness, raised the stone spear in his hand twice perfunctorily like a primitive man, and poked it forward again—

[Congratulations, you have obtained 500 death points! 】

...?

At the same time, on the other side.

The "ears" made of pure black mist moved slightly, and the girl in the black dress with long hair covering her face seemed to sense something. She stopped suddenly and turned her head to look at the building behind her.

In the night, the huge building looks like a dying giant, surrounded by countless wild beasts, staring at it.

The girl in the black skirt slid her eyes to the sparrows hanging all over the tree, paused for a while, then quickly looked back, and looked in front of her - there, a big orange cat was yowling at her continuously, while yelling, showing The densely packed yellow eyes on the body look both to show off and to seduce.

The girl in the black skirt didn't respond, but looked back in the direction of the building again. She was led here all the way by that big orange cat. This "cat" was obviously more difficult than the ones she had caught before. After chasing her for a long time, she was not able to succeed, but was led farther and farther—at that time I didn't notice it, but now, the girl in the black skirt is obviously hesitant.

She doesn't care much about the safety of the building. But she will also weigh whether it is worth giving up the whole forest just for such a big fat orange.

Seeming to see her hesitation, the orange cat let out a soft cry again, and ran two steps forward. Seeing that the girl in the black dress didn't chase after her, she turned around and walked back, and then hurried back. Every eye on the whole body was trying to blink—in order to attract the attention of the black skirt, it even pulled its head off, revealing the broken neck filled with black air. Using the black air from the broken neck, he squeezed out a pair of rabbit ears, and shook them against the black skirt.

Black skirt: "..."

She silently stared at the turned orange cat for a while, then took a step back in disgust. The orange cat was stunned for a moment, but in desperation, it had no choice but to retract the pair of crudely made rabbit ears, and stood up towards the man in the black skirt.

On the belly, a deep slit opened, and when the slit opened, what was revealed was not yellow eyes, but a mass of colored light that swam like a living thing.

The aura of the girl in the black dress suddenly changed, and she straightened up unconsciously. Several tentacles protruded from her black-covered face, shaking tentatively in the air.

The next moment, one of them jumped out and stabbed the orange cat with perfect precision. But the orange cat seemed to have expected it, and quickly jumped a step to the side, took a deep look at the surrounded buildings behind it, neighed twice, and rushed forward like lightning.

This time, the girl in the black dress didn't hesitate anymore—she followed the orange cat away, and her figure gradually disappeared into the night without looking back.

In the examination scene.

It's hard to tell whether it's the cat or Xu Tuoran who is dancing now, anyway, if you really want to say it, cats dance more seriously than people.

The fluffy body is forced to jump up with the music, bringing double pleasure of vision and death value. As the last note of the music fell, Xu Tuoran's eyes suddenly became black.

But in an instant, the black faded. Looking around again, there was no cat shadow inside the ice wall.

The runes under his feet are still there, but the floor has changed, becoming a smooth wooden floor like a dance practice room. Pu Han's call came from outside the ice wall, Xu Tuoran responded, and removed the ice wall, only to see that the surroundings had returned to their original state.

They had left the assessment scene and returned to the dance practice room. Everyone is there, not one less.

Just as Xu Tueran wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the crisis warning in his mind rang again—same as before, the sound was short, and it only rang once, but it was impossible to ignore.

Almost at the same time, U12 looked behind Xu Tuoran and could not restrain himself from screaming. Xu Tuoran's heart tightened, and he followed his gaze and looked back, facing a pair of empty eyes.

...is a small animal. A large number of small animals are standing outside the window, watching them silently.

If it was the past, Xu Tuoran would actually be more than happy to spend a wave of death points on the spot. But her intuition told her that the situation is not good now, it is not the time to do these things, not to mention that there are four trainees beside her...

Of course, the churn in the stomach is also a reason. But compared to before, it is much better now.

"Don't worry, the window is closed." She stared at the window for a moment, then concluded, "But we'd better get out of here first. Maybe there will be..."

"For cats, don't worry."

Before she finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her. Xu Turan's heart moved, and he turned his head immediately, just as he saw a petite figure pushing the door in, his childish face was full of seriousness.

"Hello. I am the representative of Jiang's enterprise." She introduced herself to everyone solemnly, "Please rest assured that there are currently no cats in this building."

After the words were finished, two staff members with pale faces followed in and walked straight towards the four trainees. He whispered a few words closer and led them out of the dance practice room.

Xu Tuoran watched them leave, and turned his gaze back to Jiang Siyu again: "You look at the Jiang Siyu I know, it seems different."

This is the truth. The "Jiang Siyu" in front of her eyes was smaller than her impression. Looks like he's only primary school age.

The other party did not deny it, but maintained a serious face and nodded again: "Well, that's right. Then let me introduce myself again, I am Jiang Siyu No. 15."

She turned around and opened the door, signaling Xu Tuoran to leave with her. The two looked at each other, quickly packed up their things, and followed silently. Xu Tuoran asked curiously: "No. 15? Is Jiang Siyu also split now?"

"Well. This is where the rules of this space lie." Jiang Siyu said seriously on the 15th, "I am in a split body, and I belong to an individual with less energy. That's why I can enter this level of space. As for the other Jiang Siyu, it is not so difficult to enter. Easy."

"This level of space?" Xu Tuoran frowned slightly, "What do you mean? Isn't this your domain?"

"Yes, but not." Number 15 tilted his head, as if he was thinking about how to explain it better, "How should I put it? Sister, you can understand that we are in the domain and have created another consciousness space. It’s like putting a refrigerator in the house—and the refrigerator itself has several layers.”

This No. 15 was a little colder than the real Jiang Siyu when he spoke. But when she called her "sister", she was as soft as ever.

"Conscious space?" Pu Han laughed, "It's interesting. So in this situation, is it really "Fatal ID"?"

"...I haven't seen that one." No. 15 froze for a moment, showing a bit of embarrassment on his face, "In short, this is a spiritual world based on domains... Sister, do you still remember what I told you before, I Did Grandpa make some arrangements in the field left for me?"

Number 15 looked up at Xu Tuoran. The latter nodded thoughtfully, and immediately realized: "Is this what he arranged?"

"Probably." No. 15 led them out of the corridor and began to walk down the stairs with a serious tone, "It wasn't just a coincidence that he left the long night to me."

Long Ye itself is a tendency closely related to human psychology, emotion, and consciousness, and a Chen-level Long Ye can do more. And just as Pu Han was able to unlock a new skill "Time and Space Backtracking" that was completely inconsistent with his original quality after being promoted to the Chen level, Jiang Siyu also unlocked a series of new skills after being promoted to the Changye Chen level——

"Stacking dreams." She said to the other two, "It can materialize other people's dreams, consciousness world, and even memory images, forming a multi-layered small world, and exerting influence to a certain extent."

But at the same time, those capable of long nights should try to avoid being involved in the main body of the dream. On the one hand, it is to avoid getting lost, and on the other hand, it is because the direct fall of the power of the long night may cause instability in the entire small world.

Xu Tuoran seemed to understand something, and stopped in his tracks: "So, this place is actually..."

"It's my father's dream." Jiang Siyu said on the 15th, "It's one of the places he used to trap that bug."

Father Jiang was attacked in the upgrade space. The upgrade space can often only be reached through dreams, in other words, that place is connected to people's dreams.

If you keep entangled in the upgrade space, it will be like pushing a stone that is destined to roll down the mountain to Father Jiang, and defeat is inevitable. The only turning point is to bring the opponent from the upgrade space into his dream, and then control him.

"Really? This kind of thing can be done?" Pu Han couldn't believe it, and Jiang Siyu gave him a faint look on the 15th, "Of course my father alone can't do it. But my grandfather is very powerful."

When your son can't bear it, it's just the first step to fuse yourself with him to help suppress it. While helping out, lead the other party all the way to his son's dream. Restraining by specifying the order is his second step.

And when this kind of restraint is difficult to control the opponent, Jiang Siyu, who inherited the Chen-level Long Night, will carry out the third step.

Through the power of the long night, Jiang's father's dream was realized and spread in his own domain. Just like what I said on the 15th, it's like putting another refrigerator in the kitchen.

And this refrigerator has several layers inside—to be precise, three layers.

The first floor is the assessment area, which is the assessment scene. It is a level that can be directly observed and modified by Jiang Siyu. Relatively speaking, the protection is the weakest.

The first floor is the observation area where Jiang Siyu is located. It is currently absolutely safe, and it is an area that the iron nematodes cannot touch. All the fathers and grandpas in the group will also be taken there.

The first floor is the living area of ​​the trainees. This is the main body of Father Jiang's dream, and Jiang Siyu and others are not allowed to step in at will, because they cannot be directly observed because of the interference of the iron nematode power.

"Sister, have you seen it before? My father, grandfather, and bugs are all fused together...not only the body, but also the consciousness." Jiang Siyu sighed, "The purpose of this plan is to make as much as possible Peel off their contaminated parts and seal them individually."

All trainees are split bodies of father and grandfather. Each split body has certain polluted parts, which is the "dark color block" seen by Pu Han and others. The split bodies with dark colors are all waiting to be purified. Before purification, they will be placed in the living area as trainees. And send it to the assessment area from time to time, and Jiang Siyu will observe it. If it is determined that the other party can accept purification, they will be promoted to Group D or Group G, and will be sent to the safest observation area after being purified. and return the memory.

As Pu Han analyzed before, Group D and Group G correspond to "Dad" and "Grandpa".

Xu Tuoran's eyes widened slightly, and he still found it hard to understand: "Purification? Then the rules of division, and the selection method of the trainee draft..."

"Most of the basic rules are set by grandpa. He is a high-level order. After we meet, he is constantly improving. I will complete the part of amnesia and brainwashing." No. 15 said, "It's just my grandpa. The ability to order... well, it's not the same as everyone else's."

Old man Jiang's quality is "Mad Scientist", and the order skill he possesses is "Distortion Lens". The rules he uses are opposite to the normal order ability. Therefore, he can easily do the unimaginable task of slicing the incoming consciousness, which other Orderers may not be able to accomplish.

And dividing all consciousness into slices is to make his other skill, "over-distillation", play a role.

Over-distilled, life-inclined skill. It can purify the specified target and strip off the dirty parts. As for what is "filthy", it depends on the definition of the capable person.

But because the iron nematode, Father Jiang and old man Jiang have already fused quite deeply with each other. In addition, after the consciousness is divided, the ability is also shared, and the part reserved by the main consciousness is greatly reduced. Therefore, old man Jiang—or, old men Jiang can only distill the fragments that are less affected by pollution purify. And the filth that was stripped off was all separated and sealed, which was equivalent to breaking down.

Xu Tuoran suddenly realized and nodded, and then frowned again: "But in this way, wouldn't the fragments that were originally polluted more deeply be saved?"

"That's why we arranged a series of designated songs for the trainees to rehearse..." No. 15 said, his pace suddenly slowed down, "Here. That's it."

Inside the building, from the first moment they came out, music they had never heard was playing in the public. It's time to switch the song. Pu Han listened carefully, flicked his bangs without a word, expressing that he didn't appreciate it, but Xu Turan unconsciously adjusted his steps to the beat, and said casually, "Isn't this nice?"

"Yeah, I think it sounds good too." Number 15 glanced at her, with a little pride in his tone, "This series of music is all my father peeped from the memory of that bug and extracted by me. .”

"The bugs hate the music...it makes them want to escape."

For those tiny dirty fragments mixed in the consciousness of the Jiang family and his son, this kind of music can even play a considerable weakening role. After weakening those filthy fragments to a certain extent, the trainees can be promoted to Group D or Group G, and handed over to the grandparents for distillation and purification.

However, Jiang Siyu is not omniscient after all, and cannot directly see the colors of the trainees. Therefore, they can only judge by the performance and mental state of the trainees. If a misjudgment is made, the purification will fail, and the trainee will be washed out of memory, put into the living area, and become a so-called "newcomer" again.

"At present, the fathers and grandpas who have already formed a group have reached double digits. The speed of this group has been much better than we expected." Jiang Siyu said, but his brows were wrinkled, "But when spreading the dream, there was a part The iron nematode voluntarily escaped, trying to break through this domain and escape outside. After being forcibly stopped, it kept wandering outside the trainee area in the form of a small animal, wanting to come in."

"Once they come into contact with unpurified splinters, the consequences will be very serious... Hey, sister, are you okay?"

At this time they had already walked to the ground floor, and Xu Tuoran couldn't help covering his mouth when he saw a large number of animals outside the glass wall. Hearing Jiang Siyu's question, he only waved his hand lightly.

"It's okay, it's just nausea." She closed her eyes restrainedly, "So now, are they about to succeed?"

"It should last for a while." Jiang Siyu bit her lip, "But if this continues, it's hard to say..."

"By the way, I wanted to ask before." Pu Han said, "There are already cats in the assessment scene, why are there no cats in the building?"

"That said, the assessment scene belongs to another level, where the defense is weak and it is easy to be invaded." No. 15 tried to gesture, "The three levels are connected to each other. They should use the assessment area to enter other levels. But we just All access to the examination area has been cut off."

In this way, the iron nematodes can only attack from the living area where the trainees live. And here, the protection has already been laid down in advance - on the glass wall, there is still a large piece of runes flashing.

However, Jiang Siyu said that she does not know how long these protections can last. The other Jiang Siyu are thinking about the next step in the observation area. Before that, the only thing they can do now is to strengthen their defenses and try to delay time. At least to drag through this wave of darkness.

"What about now?" Xu Tuoran's eyes turned lightly, his face pondering, "Where are you going to take us?"

"Send you to meet up with your other two companions first. We will discuss together later." No. 15 said so, but his tone was somewhat uncertain, "Well, if possible, maybe I have to ask my sister to help draw the runes. "

To be honest, their original idea was to find a way to get a few people to the observation area as soon as possible after passing the assessment, and avoid contact with other animals as much as possible. But they didn't expect that Xu Tuoran actually brought two sets of divine aid runes. Whether it's omniscient restraint or the cage of light, it will be of great help to them now.

Of course Xu Tuoran was not unhappy. But for some reason, she always had a bad premonition in her heart. At this moment, Pu Han suddenly said "Hey", turned his head to look at the corridor next to him, and said in surprise, "Why are you here? What are you doing here?"

Xu Tueran turned his head following the sound, and saw three figures coming out of the corridor—Pu Han No. 2 and No. 3, and Er Nan with a serious face.

Pu Han No. 3 was still holding something in his arms. It looks like a stereo.

Xu Turan was also confused: "Why are you bringing this thing?"

"Sing!" Pu Han No. 2 said concisely, "Trap!"

...?

Still do not understand.

When Ernan saw No. 15, he was obviously stunned for a moment. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, but he suppressed it quickly and added: "In this building, there is at least one source of pollution. He can affect other trainees. But we can't find him now, so we want to try to lure him out..."

"Relying on singing?" No. 15 looked puzzled, "What are you going to play?"

Hearing this, Ernan covered his face with one hand, as if he was ashamed to speak. The two Pu Hans are quite confident, especially Pu Han No. 3, with a sonorous tone: ""Stars Light Up"!"

...? ? ?

Xu Tuoran didn't understand even more: "Why this song?"

"The wireworm hates this kind of song with stars. It will most likely attract hatred." No. 15 quickly explained in a low voice, then looked at the few people in front of him, "I don't agree with this method. Now not only is there danger inside the building, but also outside the building. There are also. What if after this song is played, it angers the existence outside, then what... my sister?"

She was halfway through speaking, but when she noticed Xu Tuoran's expression next to her, her words suddenly stopped.

Xu Tueran stared at the speaker for a while, then looked at the small animals outside the wall. I don't know if it's because of the transmission delay, but these little animals haven't shown signs of using the replica skills, but she doesn't dare to take it lightly.

"This method may be possible." She pondered for a while and said, "But it needs to be perfected."

Jiang Siyu No. 15: "?"

"It's such a big speaker. It's only used to trick one person to waste it." Xu Tuoran murmured, and suddenly turned his head to look over, "Besides, before that, can you do me a favor first?"

Jiang Siyu No. 15: "???"

Xu Tuoran looked into her eyes and said sincerely, "Let me sleep first."
