What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?

In a quarter of an hour. Inside the lounge.

The curtains are drawn tightly, and there is a TV set on the small cabinet. The video of Xu Turan's last assessment is being played back inside, and the picture freezes at the moment when she draws the night rune in the ice wall.

A snow-white sheet was spread on the ground. Jiang Siyu No. 15 was kneeling on the ground, carefully trying to figure out the order of Xu Tuoran's strokes in the video, and tentatively drew runes on the bed sheet.

Next to it are two folded sheets. It includes the one that Xu Tuoran has already drawn, and the one that Pu Han tried to draw—strictly speaking, he only painted half of it.

In the middle of the drawing, Pu Han realized that the thing he had drawn was mostly a waste draft and could not work, so he simply threw it aside first. In comparison, although the drawing of No. 15 was difficult, the two people present could feel that this painting was probably achievable.

This reminds Pu Han of what Yang Buqi once told him—Yong Zhou was stolen from Long Night.

Is it because the two have the same origin, so Jiang Siyu, who is a Chen-level long night, is qualified to use this set of runes? So what about Xu Tuoran? What is her basis?

This idea only swirled in Pu Han's mind for a moment, and was thrown aside in an instant.

He knew from the very beginning that Xu Tuoran was special enough to be extraordinary, and this level of understanding was enough to explain many things. Pu Han knew in his heart that now is not the time to delve into some things, and he may not have the qualifications to delve into them.

Omniscient is not necessarily omniscient. But at least you should know where the boundary of seeking knowledge lies.

Withdrawing his thoughts, he turned his attention to the work at hand. At this time, Xu Tuoran was sleeping next door, and the other two Pu Han followed the staff to patrol outside to confirm the situation of other trainees, and added defensive runes by the way—the task of observing small animals could only be taken care of by the staff. They cannot be polluted by wireworms, and because their memories are erased, even if they are read by worms, they will not be looted for any valuable information. The risk of use is relatively low.

But now, because of the omniscient restraint rune provided by Xu Tuoran, the two split Pu Han can also participate in the observation task, which is undoubtedly a big help. After all, the hateful staff cannot complete the runes.

In order to facilitate their actions, Jiang Siyu additionally changed the identities of several of them and made them staff members. In this way, their actions and communication are no longer restricted.

And Pu Han himself was busy recording songs into the karaoke pen left by Xu Tuoran—there is a lack of computers in this place, and they can only guide songs into the pen through the simple and simple way of recording.

Music was played from a record player in the lounge. He lowered the volume as much as possible, but still attracted the attention of many small animals. The lounge windows were banging. Even the runes on the windows kept flickering, and the flickering red light could be seen through the curtains.

Finally, the last song was recorded. Pu Han breathed a sigh of relief, and finally asked the question he cared about the most: "I said, why don't you get yourself better equipment?"

monitoring, computer. How much trouble does it take to have these.

"There used to be." Jiang Siyu said without raising his head on the 15th, "but these devices are easily invaded by 'it'. So I tried to delete them later."

Computers can get weird viruses that leave the screen full of blinking eyes. There may be more non-existent figures in the surveillance, watching you quietly through the lens. Even the TVs and music players that are preserved now have some bugs from time to time. It's just that the frequency is relatively not so high.

"Televisions are not often used anymore. It's just that sometimes you have to keep them when you want to show dance videos to trainees." Jiang Siyu said, "The safest thing is all kinds of music players. Even so, regular inspections are required by the staff. "

As if echoing her words, the recorder, which had just been turned off, suddenly made a hissing sound, followed by bursts of meowing like a baby's cry. Pu Han was taken aback, and subconsciously tapped the off button, but he couldn't turn it off no matter what. Just thinking about whether to smash it directly, Jiang Siyu suddenly turned up the volume of the TV in silence. The soundtrack used by Xu Turan and the others for their assessment came out of it, and the meowing sound was completely silenced in an instant.

Noticing the sudden realization in Pu Han's eyes, she shrugged calmly: "As I said, they hate this special music."

She clapped her hands, and carefully folded up the bed sheet on which the runes had been drawn, with faint sweat on her forehead. Pu Han went over to help clean it up, thought about it and asked: "You said earlier that you extracted this music from your father's memory. What about other people's memories? Can you extract something useful from it?"

"It's hard." Jiang Siyu said in a muffled voice on the 15th, "This area is based on my father's dream. So we can only extract things from his consciousness and memory."

It is equivalent to binding a warehouse.

Of course, if it is a higher-level Everlasting Night, or if it has the corresponding ability, it is theoretically possible to achieve indiscriminate extraction. For example, the karaoke pen in Pu Han’s hand, its predecessor, Chuangshen, has the ability to extract dreams without distinction—although its indiscrimination is too selective.

"I see..." Pu Han was thoughtful, "Then what can you extract now?"

"How is it possible, Dad Tuan is not here." Jiang Siyu pouted on the 15th, "If it is other Jiang Siyu, it is still possible. After all, they are all outside."

Pu Han: "Then let them extract some weapons and airdrop them. Let's do something fierce, sprayers, tanks, bazookas—"

"...can't be airdropped, it can only be brought in." Jiang Siyu tilted his head, "It's also very troublesome to extract extra."

Besides, their purpose now is to prevent small animals from invading the interior of the building. It's not like going directly to fight. Besides, they couldn't be killed.

Pu Han let out an "eh", feeling that the little girl's way of thinking was still too conservative. At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and Pu Han No. 3 probed his head and walked in embarrassedly.

"I'll make up the rune." He pointed to the pattern on his arm, "I just don't have a pen with me."

Jiang Siyu casually threw the marker pen he had just used up, and asked casually, "How's the situation outside?"

"Building No. 1 is in the most serious situation. There are black clouds at the entrance. Buildings No. 3 and No. 2 are relatively better. No. 4 Building is in between." Pu Han No. 3 said seriously, "They haven't made any offensive behavior yet, There is only Building No. 1, and from time to time small animals will bump into the glass wall, but they are stopped by the defensive runes on the glass wall."

"No skills?" Pu Han was a little surprised, "I thought they would team up to smash ice on the glass wall, just like ice shooters."

"Maybe they are planning something." Jiang Siyu pondered: "Building No. 1 is the dormitory of Group F. Buildings No. 2 and 3 are Group G and Group D respectively... Could it be that they want to attack Group F first?"

"What will happen if the trainees in Group F are recruited?" Pu Han asked curiously, "I know that fragment will be completely polluted...then what?"

"Then? Then when they are combined, that fragment will become the nutrient of 'it'. And the corresponding human will lose a piece of their spirit forever." No. 15 has a serious face, "If there are not many polluted fragments, then It's okay. I'm afraid that the number of pollution will be too large..."

In this way, even if the remaining fragments can be combined in the end, that person's spirit will become sick, and maybe even collapse directly.

To make matters worse, physical damage can also cause serious injury or even death from fragments. As a result, the spirit of the corresponding ontology collapsed—this is why Jiang Siyu insisted on transferring the purified father group and grandpa group out of the trainee space, and insisted on giving priority to protection.

Pu Han nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly realized: "Wait, doesn't that mean that if you or my fragments suffer serious damage here, it will also be over?"

"That's almost what it means." Jiang Siyu put away the two available sheet runes, turned and walked to the door, "But don't worry. If the situation is really dangerous, I can also transfer your fragments directly out of the space. Really No, just end the realization of this dream.”

But this also means that all the fragments will directly merge into one. Her father and grandfather still couldn't get rid of the entanglement of that dead bug.

Pu Han thought about it for a while, sighed, and waved his hands indifferently: "Forget it, you don't have to get to that point for me. Anyway, I have three, you just need to find a way to get two. I'm not normal anyway. .”

...I can actually see this.

Jiang Siyu pushed the door out on the 15th, thinking silently.

The more healthy and powerful a person is, the more fragments should be split. For those like Pu Han who only split into three, it is estimated that a mental illness certificate did not escape in reality.

Having said that, Jiang Siyu is actually not very sure about this conclusion. After all, there is another Xu Tueran who is not split at all—at least from their observation, Xu Tueran has no other splits.

Regarding this phenomenon, the Grandpa Group has internally debated seven or eight hundred times, with people holding various opinions, and the quarrel almost caused a fight. In comparison, Jiang Siyu's ideas are very unified and simple—

Sister Niubi is done! Think so much!

Thinking of Xu Tuoran, Jiang Siyu No. 15 couldn't help but glance at the next room. Not long ago, Xu Tuoran hurriedly fell asleep after demonstrating a set of light cages to her, and now he is lying next to the lounge. At her request, Jiang Siyu tried her best to give her access to the upgrade space once on the 15th, but due to limited ability, she could only open it for 20 minutes.

After all, he is the weakest individual, and he can only do this.

Because of this, Jiang Siyu made up her mind on the 15th not to bother her unless necessary. This time, I just looked at the door of the room to confirm the status of the defensive runes on the door, and then took my things and walked upstairs.

They are currently in Building No. 2 between Building No. 1 and Building No. 3, which is Building No. 2 where Group G's dormitory is located. According to the previous arrangement, after the rune formation and "Star Lighting" are ready, they will go directly to the roof of the building and set up a trapping formation there.

"Make a formation, put someone inside, put a pen, and bring a stereo. As long as you sing loudly, most of those things will be fooled." Xu Tuoran said at the time, "Because it's upstairs, no matter whether it's inside or outside the building. All the other ghosts can be reached. Of course, if you want to catch them all in one go, it’s best to wait until I wake up..."

It is Xu Tuoran's idea to use the "cage of light" and absolute kingship to form a double restraint, and to reproduce the style of play in the assessment scene.

But at this moment, she has not woken up yet, and Jiang Siyu also wants to try this method first, so she plans to test it on the roof of the second building first, which can be considered as an arrangement in advance—but wait until the top floor Later, she realized that something was wrong.

The door leading to the roof can only be opened in one direction from the inside, and it is also covered with basic defensive runes. It should be locked. But she turned around for a long time, but she couldn't open it anyway.

Puhan No. 1 and No. 3, one with a singing pen and one with a stereo, followed behind her. Noticing that Jiang Siyu's expression was wrong, Pu Han volunteered to come up and try it out, but before his hand touched the doorknob, his expression changed first.

"...No need to try." He stared at the door for a while, his expression became serious, "This door is blocked from the outside. It can't be opened."

"What do you mean, who would block..." Jiang Siyu half-spoken, suddenly understood, and his expression changed. And Pu Han, as if wanting to confirm his words, immediately turned around and ran to the side window, opened the curtains and looked out. As expected, on the roof of Building No. 3 next to it, there are swarms of animal silhouettes entrenched.

—Assuming that the No. 2 building they are in is in the same situation, then it is not surprising that the roof door is blocked.

"Look!" He immediately pointed to Jiang Siyu No. 15, "The roof of Building No. 3 is full of animals. There are not many animals in Building No. 4 and No. 1 next to it..."

He turned his gaze while talking, Jiang Siyu followed his gaze, but his tone became subtle.

"I didn't see anything," she whispered. "Are there a lot of animals on the roof?"

Pu Han: "..."

As if realizing something, he exchanged a look with Pu Han No. 3, who was holding the stereo next to him, with astonishment in their eyes.

Cognitive Shield - Another of his abilities. Could it be that even this ability has been plagiarized unknowingly?

Pu Han froze for a moment, and quickly realized that in the assessment scene, he used cognitive shielding twice in a row in order to protect everyone. At that time, Xu Tuoran's set of runes to restrain omniscience hadn't come out yet...

Pu Han panicked for a second, but soon calmed down, snapped his fingers at Jiang Siyu, and directed her to look outside again. This time, even Jiang Siyu saw it—the undulating shadows lingering on the rooftop.

"...Are they here to block us on purpose?" Jiang Siyu asked incredulously, "How do they know we're going to the roof?"

"I can't tell. It may be guessed, or it may be read." Pu Han's expression is not very good, "If it is the latter, things are a bit difficult. But we all have defensive runes, they should read Not until then."

Jiang Siyu was also puzzled. Except for the roof, there are almost no places suitable for trapping—she observed again and found that the roof of Building No. 1 was the cleanest. She immediately decided to go to Building No. 1, but just as she was about to leave, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, if they are to prevent us from going up to the rooftop, they should block all the rooftop doors?" Jiang Siyu paused, then hesitated to ask, "Why do they only occupy the roofs of No. 2 and No. 3 buildings? "

"Are they aware of our plan, or do they have another plan?"

The three people present all fell into short thoughts because of Jiang Siyu's words. After two seconds of silence, Pu Han No. 3 carefully raised his hand: "Well, I suddenly thought of something."

Jiang Siyu: "?"

"Because it was discovered that there are many small animals outside Building No. 1, the main activity range of Pu Han No. 2 is set there." Pu Han No. 3 said cautiously.

"Also, I don't know if you have noticed. In this position, you can't actually hear the music on the radio."

Jiang Siyu: "..."

As if she understood something, she immediately rushed back to the roof door, stretched out her hand towards the crack of the door, and sure enough, she felt a chill rushing in from the outside of the crack of the door.

…Ice number seven.

Jiang Siyu reacted almost instantly.

They couldn't open the door just now, not because the animals outside were blocking the door on purpose, but because they were facing the door, using the No. 7 ice copied from Xu Tuoran!

The small animals outside Building No. 1 were just suspicious. Their real plan was to sneak in from the rooftops of Building No. 2 and No. 3. It was just a coincidence that Jiang Siyu and the others were also planning to go to the roof, so they bumped into each other. Right!

It seemed to support her guess. There was a clicking sound outside the roof door, and the runes on the door began to fade rapidly, and the strong cold air almost penetrated through the door panel. Without hesitation, Jiang Siyu immediately took out a pen and quickly redrawn the defensive runes on the door. The moment the strokes were put away, the movement outside the door was put away instantly, and the strong coldness also quickly faded away.

...However, Jiang Siyu was not happy at all.

Because the moment she finished drawing the rune, she clearly heard a loud breaking sound from the building No. 3 next door.

The heart hung to the highest point, and Jiang Siyu immediately turned his head and rushed to the air corridor connecting the two buildings. Halfway through the walk, he suddenly realized that he might not be able to catch up, so he simply stopped, grabbed the singing pen from Pu Han's hand, and stood in directly.

Cage of Light is different from other runes. It is directly controlled by the mind of the painter. The drawer can selectively put the target into the rune array, and can also control the entry and exit of the existence in the array at will. But when the drawer falls into a state of unconsciousness, the rune circle will automatically become invalid.

Therefore, the set of runes drawn by Xu Tueran is temporarily useless. The only thing Jiang Siyu can use is the one he has been drawing for a long time.

Jiang Siyu didn't know how long this group of runes could last, but she had no other choice right now—she directed Pu Han to go around to Building No. 3 to make up the gap as soon as possible, while raising her singing pen, she took a deep breath.

"The stars light up, light up my door! Let the lost children... find the way they came..."

She sang as loudly as she could, looking at the large shadow following the sound, but her singing could not help but tremble a little.

Sensing her fear, Pu Han No. 3 put down the stereo on his shoulders, and hurriedly said, "Hey, why don't I come..."

"Hurry up and wake up my sister!" Jiang Siyu said without turning her head, "I don't draw this rune well, and I don't know how long I can last!"

Pu Han No. 3: "..."

He took a deep look at the short figure of No. 15, pursed his lips, turned around and rushed back to Building No. 2 without saying any more.

Only Jiang Siyu was left, standing in the middle of the air corridor wrapped in iron sheets, looking at the large black shadows that were getting closer and closer to him, and continued to speak following the melody:

"...The stars light up the lamps to illuminate my future... Use a little light to warm the hearts of children..."

Cats meowing, scratching, birds flapping their wings. As the song progresses, she gets closer and closer.

Not only that, but even on the iron sheet above the head, there were bang bang noises. Countless black spots landed on top of her, and they walked back and forth through a layer of iron sheet. The noise of claws scraping the iron sheet was extremely ear-piercing, and there was even a pecking sound, which made one's scalp numb.

All the shadows quickly pushed out of the rune array. It was only a step or two away from her. With the lights of the corridors on both sides, Jiang Siyu can clearly see the yellow eyes on their bodies, including the maliciousness rolling in them.

She tried closing her eyes, but even so, the feeling of being stared at maliciously still lingered. Sarcasm, killing intent, anger, contempt... As a long night, she can clearly perceive these even without eyes.

Fear and stress can also be felt.

Number 15's eyes closed a little tighter. Even the singing pen in her hand instinctively lowered the volume out of fear.

No. 15 didn't open his eyes, but turned up the volume firmly. The next second, she seemed to notice something, and her eyes widened in astonishment.

—I saw the rune under her feet, the light was rapidly dimming.

Her cage of light is about to fail.

Jiang Siyu's face turned pale, but the wild cats outside the formation barked louder, the sound was like cracking silk, extremely ear-piercing.

What made her even more nervous was the top of her head.

Through the iron sheet, she clearly felt the chilly air coming from above. Jiang Siyu held her breath and looked up, seeing a large shadow pressing on it.

…shit.

Her pupils shrank slightly, she took a step back subconsciously, and stopped abruptly—she knew in her heart that she couldn't run back. If these things are introduced into Building No. 2, the loss outweighs the gain...

If I had known earlier, I would have added doors at both ends of the corridor. Jiang Siyu was thinking regretfully, wondering if throwing the singing pen in his hand could earn a chance, when suddenly there was a loud bang above his head!

A piece of the covering on the head was broken, and the broken iron sheet was folded inward. Another large group of shadows invaded along the hole, almost at the same time, the rune array under Jiang Siyu's feet was completely darkened—

No choice!

Jiang Siyu secretly gritted her teeth on the 15th, and raised her hand to throw the singing pen that was still singing through the hole on the top of her head.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him—

"Squat down!"

...? !

Jiang Siyu was startled for a moment, but quickly realized that she squatted on the ground with her head in her arms - she had just squatted down, and in the next second, countless shadows rushed towards her. Immediately afterwards, she saw a thick black mist rushing straight from behind her, like a raging tide bumping into the strange creatures rushing, forcefully pushing them away for several meters.

In an instant, the mist stretched out again, like a black cloth bag shaken open, unceremoniously covering all the creatures it touched one by one, including the struggle and voice of the other party.

"..." Jiang Siyu seemed to have noticed something, slowly raised his head, and after seeing everything in front of him, his eyes widened in astonishment.

The black mist, the dense black mist, was surging in front of her. The silhouettes of animals struggling can be seen from time to time in the black mist, but that layer of mist is like the strongest bag, no matter how hard they struggle, they cannot break free.

Staring at it for a while, Jiang Siyu was surprised to find that the thing in front of him may not be regarded as "fog" - it looks more like a collection of dense black particles...

"What the **** is this?" She murmured involuntarily, and an answer came from behind: "Dirty mist."

No. 15 was stunned for a moment, then turned his head suddenly, and saw Xu Tuoran covering his mouth with one hand, and walking towards him shuffling.

"I'm sorry, I overslept." She lifted Jiang Siyu from the ground, glanced at the black mist in front of her, and raised her hand casually.

No. 15 was still a little unresponsive, and subconsciously asked: "Gray fog?" Isn't this black?

"Dirty mist. Dirty filth. It's one of the newly unlocked skills." Xu Tuoran said, "Thanks to you, I opened a nice big gift bag."

Jiang Siyu: "?"

Xu Tuoran didn't explain much, he hid Jiang Siyu behind his back, picked up the bed sheet on the floor, and looked at it, "Where's the one I drew before?"

"Oh...here!" No. 15 reacted quickly, and immediately handed over another sheet. Xu Tuoran reached out to take it, and snapped his fingers at the same time. The black mist covering the animal began to move slowly, moving a little bit towards the gap in the iron sheet above his head.

Perhaps Xu Turan was startled, and all the birds that had been staying on the edge of the hole flew away. Jiang Siyu frowned, and said in disbelief: "You don't want to just throw them out like this?"

"That's not true." Xu Tuoran said honestly.

As the voice fell, another row of black crystals appeared out of thin air, spreading rapidly, and a small hole was quickly burned on the floor of the corridor, which happened to be between Jiang Siyu and the black mist sack.

Immediately afterwards, only the sound of gurgling water was heard. In Jiang Siyu's astonished eyes, a turbid river mixed with a strong fishy smell rushed from the other end of the corridor, like a giant beast, grabbing the black mist sack in front of it, wrapping it in the Taotao River, directly It leaked out along the big hole.

"I plan to rush them out like this." Xu Tuoran finished the second half of the sentence slowly.

Jiang Siyu: "..."
