What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?

School - Dahuaihua Middle School.

Xu Tuoran realized almost instantly when she heard that sentence, Yang Buqi was reminding her to recall that piece of paper.

The notes left by the former headmaster of Dahuaihua Middle School, a high-ranking seer, are full of incomplete information she captured from the stone tablet in the predicting corridor. And one of the most important points is the mention of the existence of "they".

Inhumans who can hunt and kill capable people in the upgrade space to replace them are compared by the principal to the existence of "iron worms". Xu Tuoran is sure that the "Jianglin" he has encountered is one of them, while Yang Buqi and Pu Han suspect that there are "they" in the Tzu Chi Institute. In order to find more "iron nematodes", the former has been After investigating the usage of the abominations and props in the courtyard, Yang Buqi went to the storage room until today.

Judging from his response just now, their guess was not wrong.

There is indeed another "iron nematode" in the Tzu Chi Temple. And now she is by Yang Buqi's side

...so what's going on here? When she was sniped by a wire worm, Yang Buqi was also sniped by another wire worm?

What holiday is it today? Are both of them in time for today? ?

Xu Turan couldn't help but patted his forehead. She had been throbbing in her forehead at first, but now it was so painful that her entire head was swollen.

No, it probably wasn't a coincidence—she forced herself to keep thinking. These iron nematodes may have their own way of contact. So did they split up on purpose? Did they already know they were exposed? They have already noticed Yang Buqi's investigation?

Judging from the other party's reaction to the threatening text message just now, they should still be inside the Tzu Chi Institute, so I don't want Xu Tuoran to contact other people in the Tzu Chi Institute...

In this way, it is very likely that the other party suddenly attacked Yang Buqi when he entered the safekeeping room or other areas alone. Now it should be in a place where there is no one but it is not difficult to find.

Die, did Pu Han see the message? Have you started to act?

Why did the "iron nematode" do something inside the Tzu Chi Temple? The risk is too great, aren't you afraid of overturning?

Moreover, if something happened to Yang Buqi in the Tzu Chi Institute, others will definitely investigate. Why does she think she can do it without anyone noticing?

All kinds of thoughts passed through Xu Tuoran's mind, causing her ears to ring. She got up from the bed with her arms propped up, and impatiently waved away the arm of the zombie protruding from the side. Made a burst of dizziness.

She supported the "zombie" next to her and squatted on the ground, trying to adjust her breathing and find her voice. She desperately thought about what to say at this time to elicit more information—now there is a "iron nematode" next to Yang Buqi, and he is coughing, indicating that his condition is not good. It is likely that he has been controlled.

As long as the conversation between them showed any clues, she would miss more opportunities to buy time and obtain information.

She had to play the role of "dumped girlfriend" well.

Xu Tuoran made up his mind, and just as he was about to speak, Yang Buqi's voice sounded again on the other end of the phone:

"You are enough, don't pester me anymore, and don't come to the Charity House to look for me. Are there any other related units, as far away as possible, and don't try to enter my circle. Those are not within your reach. place."

"You...you forget about me, live a good life in the future, and focus on your current work. Also, you need to be independent in the future, you know? Remember, no one can be relied on now except your right hand and left hand. Don't count on other people, Especially your messy, chaotic friends. They're going to kill you sooner or later!"

After saying this, Yang Buqi started to cough violently again. When he spoke again, there was already a bit of a weird tone in his voice, but he seemed to be aware of this very quickly, and he cleared his throat vigorously, as if to suppress the weird tone.

…For some reason, Xu Tuoran's heart suddenly constricted.

She suddenly had a premonition that what Yang Buqi would say next would not be what she wanted to hear.

On the other side, after clearing his throat for a while, Yang Buqi finally managed to control his voice back to normal.

"I know you made this call because you wanted to keep me." Xu Tuoran heard him say, "but... sorry. It's too late. Don't contact me again. Just treat me as if I'm not human, and I don't want to see anyone again. Please understand."

"Also, be careful when you run around in the future, don't hurt yourself again."

After saying the last sentence, Yang Buqi immediately hung up the phone.

Xu Turan: ...

She sat where she was, her fingertips became cold unconsciously. She tried to call Yang Buqi again, but only got a message that the phone had been shut down.

Is there any mistake... She only feels one head and two big ones now. What do you mean it's too late? If you don't die, you don't count as a loss. Is this too late?

She glanced at the message she sent to Pu Han, but she still hasn't received a reply. She immediately made a phone call, the phone rang a few times and was hung up, and then a message popped up on the chat interface:

【He's sleeping, I'm hammering! 】

Xu Turan: ...

She didn't know that Pu Han would be forced to sleep when he was leveling up, and he fell into a deep sleep. For a while, I even felt the mood to rush over and hammer with Feifei. However, after she left the Tzu Chi Institute, all the officials and groups were completely withdrawn, and her contact information was almost deleted. The only ones left, except for Yang Buqi and Pu Han, was Fairy Tale Town...

She immediately planned to send a distress message to the group in Fairy Tale Town, but she only typed a few words, and her movements suddenly stopped.

...what did he mean by those last two paragraphs?

Xu Turan went through the last two paragraphs of Yang Buqi's words in his mind, and suddenly his back felt a chill.

In the previous paragraphs, Yang Buqi has been trying to convey clues to himself—

Don't get close to the relevant units, stay away from his circle. It means that Tzu Chi Yuan and Ren Xin Yuan are not safe and cannot be trusted.

Focus on the current work, that is, it is best to continue to hide yourself in the Taobao store.

Stay away from chaotic friends - there is a wireworm that is chaotically inclined, and it is likely the one that controls Yang Buqi now. That's why he can directly designate "chaos" instead of others.

Except for the right hand and the left hand, no one is reliable—the only ones who can be sure of being harmless are Feifei and her husband. Ask them for help when necessary.

So... what about the last two paragraphs?

Why do you say "it's too late", and why do you say "I'm not human" and "I don't want to see anyone?"

Xu Tuoran's heart was pounding, and he unconsciously put down the phone in his hand.

She thought of those two questions again—why did that iron nematode attack inside the Charity House? Isn't she afraid of being found out?

If... she will be investigated in the end, isn't she?

A terrible guess came to Xu Tuoran's mind. She tried to substitute herself into that "iron nematode"—if it was me, she found out that someone had discovered my existence, was investigating secretly, and wanted to catch me. And already close to the truth, what should I do?

escape? Murder? OK, but not relieved.

Let him hold the truth, but fall into chaos. No one will listen to what he has to say. Even if it's death, you have to use your own death to deal him the biggest blow; even if you kill him, you have to avoid future troubles and make others feel that he deserves to die.

Xu Tuoran stared at the phone, hesitating. She is too far away from the charity house now, even if she flies, she can't fly back. But now she doesn't dare to rashly send out a distress signal to anyone except Pu Han.

Because she was skeptical—no, judging from Yang Buqi's statement, it was almost certain.

Yang Buqi is probably no longer in a human state.

But... we can't just leave it at that.

After a brief hesitation, Xu Tuoran's thoughts resolutely ran back to the usual track.

It is known that Yang Buqi and the iron nematode do not want anyone to go there at this moment. Yang Buqi didn't want others to see his appearance, so what was the reason for the "iron nematode"?

Forget it, it doesn't matter. It's the opposite of her purpose.

Xu Tuoran immediately switched the phone interface.

She opened the chat interface with the Taobao store docking staff.

【Yes, I place an order. ] She typed quickly into the chat box, 【Help me find a person in the Tzu Chi Temple, the speed must be fast, and the price can be set at will. It must be quiet and unobtrusive. 】

[Whether he is a human or a monster, we must save him. bring him to meet me. 】

After finishing speaking, she switched to the chat interface with Pu Han and asked which places were more suitable for black hands. After receiving Feifei's reply, she pasted all of them to the order interface, and the first place was still "storage room".

Xu Turan thought about it, and added another sentence: [If someone is around him, beat her! Bring it after beating! 】

the other end.

Tzu Chi Yuan Storage and Storage Room.

All defenses are cut off, all surveillance is scrambled. A woman with honey-colored long hair is sitting leisurely on a chair, stroking the abomination in her hand.

The abomination was in a state of being sealed, there was no way to escape, it could only twitch and shrink as she touched the ground one by one.

Yang Buqi sat against the wall, looking up at her coldly. One eye remains the same, but a rose has bloomed in the other eye.

"Is this how you eat?" He spoke with difficulty, his voice rough and strange, "Can you just devour the abomination?"

"That's right. Monsters that cannot be killed to you are just food to us." The woman said indifferently, "And the sealed abomination is like packed fast food. The taste will be bad, but as The food is just about okay.”

"So you are indeed devouring these props in secret." Yang Buqi smiled, "No wonder there are problems with those reports."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly started to cough violently, coughing up large flowers from his throat, and closed his eyes in pain.

"Flower vomiting. You look quite unique in alienation." The woman looked at him as if she was joking, and nodded immediately, "Don't say it, it's quite appropriate for the occasion."

Her eyes fell on the mobile phone next to Yang Buqi. The screen of the phone was completely black at the moment, but she still remembered the call she made not long ago.

She recalled the remark name she saw at the time, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "'A Rabbit'. Forcibly put it on the top with letters, and gave it a sticky nickname. It doesn't look like you don't love it anymore."

She tilted her head and looked at Yang Buqi: "Why did you break up with her?"

Yang Buqi took a deep look at her, and heard that these two sentences were the truth. He knew that the conversation between him and Xu Tuoran should have really bluffed her, so he couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

I'm glad that she didn't notice Xu Tuoran's identity, and I'm glad that I have the habit of deleting chat records at any time. Fortunately, now, he can still hear the truth.

However, this ability may not last long.

Yang Buqi couldn't help looking at himself. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew in his heart that no matter from any point of view, it was difficult to be recognized as a "human" body now.

The part of him from the waist down has been completely replaced by intertwined branches. The roots are deeply rooted into the floor. It looks like a tree, but it can actually feel itching and pain.

Because of this, he is actually very uncomfortable now-because there are countless finger-like existences on the tree trunk, swinging around uncontrollably, touching the bark from time to time, causing extreme discomfort.

And under his body is an energy conversion rune. Not far away is an energy-absorbing rune, and a bunch of life-oriented abominable props are placed in the rune array.

Yang Buqi didn't know how this guy operated. After entering the storage room, he was ambushed. After being beaten half to death, he was directly knocked unconscious, and was forcibly dragged into the rune circle. In the dream, he ran for a while in the upgrade space of life tendency, and fell all over his body with cuts and bruises. When I woke up, it was already like this.

He suspected that this had something to do with the other party's use of the square rune array - he could tell that the runes drawn by the other party were different from the ones they were used to, with subtle differences.

But these seem to be less important now.

He's now on the verge of a radical change. No matter who comes in, he will think he is a monster, not the other party.

The other party obviously thinks so too, so right now he is hurrying up to absorb the chaotic abomination in the storage place. In her words, from the moment Yang Buqi was dragged to the rune conversion circle, she had already won, the only difference was when she decided to die.

If no one finds out about the matter here, she can have a leisurely meal before making a decision. If someone appeared suddenly, she could only run away immediately.

"Anyway, I didn't intend to stay here any longer." She told Yang Buqi that way, "That omniscient Pu Han is going to level up, and none of my good-for-nothing companions can take him down. He Once I reach the Chen level, I can no longer hide my identity, and it will be a matter of time before I die..."

"But to be honest, if you weren't so hard-pressed, I'd be fine for a while longer."

After saying this, she tore off one of Yang Buqi's arms that had turned into a branch as if venting her anger. Yang Buqi yelled in pain, but his voice was blocked by the excellent sound insulation equipment, so it couldn't come out at all.

The woman smiled, took the branch and sat aside. Yang Buqi's wound has begun to automatically and consciously stretch out new branches.

"Say it, you are quite special." The woman picked up another chaotic abomination and began to absorb it, and at the same time looked at Yang Buqi who was rooted in the center of the rune circle, "It stands to reason that you should become more irritable at this time." , cruel, irrational and inhuman...but you can talk to me well here."

She smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes: "It's the first time I see you like this. What are you?"

"..." Yang Buqi didn't speak, but just looked back at her coldly.

He actually knew the "person" in front of him. Gong Xiaozhong, one of the top executives of the Tzu Chi Institute, Yong Zhouhui, has a gentle temper and is easy to talk. He will do whatever others ask him to do.

But he also knew that the person in front of him was by no means the real "Gong Xiaozhong". She had been replaced by something else, maybe recently, maybe before he joined the Mercy.

"Then what about you? Gong Xiaozhong?" He was silent for a while, then spoke again, "What are you guys?"

"Gong Xiaozhong" laughed happily when he heard this.

"We are fragments of stars." She had that gentle and sweet expression on her face again, "Sooner or later, we will take away all the light sources and become real stars."

…Star?

A certain part of Yang Buqi's heart was inexplicably touched by this familiar word. And soon, the other party's next sentence attracted his attention:

"Also, my name is not Gong Xiaozhong. I have a name, and my name is Jiang Lin."

"Jiang Lin?" Yang Buqi couldn't help but straighten his body, not wanting to break a branch on his lower body, and there was sharp pain, so he was forced to lean back against the wall again.

"What's your relationship with Jiang Lin?"

"A boring companionship." Jiang Lin said bluntly, "At the same time, he is also my food reserve."

...truth.

Yang Buqi was stunned for a moment, then coughed and spat out several large flowers covered in blood, for a moment he didn't know how to evaluate this complicated relationship.

He wanted to find out more. He doesn't know how long he can stay awake, and it's always good to ask more questions. Jiang Lin seemed to have lost his patience, and stopped talking to him, and instead concentrated on digesting the food he had just eaten.

Not so much—she felt a little relief from her newfound energy.

She didn't tell Yang Buqi that she didn't have the only way to die—if she could upgrade to the Chaos Chen level before Pu Han finished the upgrade. Then she can continue to cover Pu Han's prying eyes, continue to confuse the public, and conceal her identity.

She can do even more. Maybe you can control the entire charity institute.

In fact, this goal is not too far away. Her level of chaotic tendency is already Hui Jinchen, and this part of energy obtained through eating at this moment will be stored in her body, and will be directly used as steps when logging into the upgrade space next time.

But now, there is only a little energy left before he is directly promoted to the Chen level. She just needs to take some more...

Jiang Lin made up his mind, and was about to get up to pick up two more sealed chaotic abominations when his footsteps stopped suddenly.

—The protection she placed outside the room was triggered. She could hear someone coming down the hallway.

…what happened? Why would someone come here at this point?

And the people who came were not weak. Chang Yehui class. The chaotic effects of her spread in the corridor probably won't stop him for long.

Jiang Lin's expression changed suddenly. Turning around, he looked at the wreckage of the abominable props that he had "finished", then looked at Yang Buqi who was still awake, and secretly gritted his teeth.

Why do you have to come here now? It's almost...

To make matters worse, the rune she hid in Pu Han's room also reacted—Pu Han, who was supposed to be asleep in pursuit of upgrading, also woke up.

Pu Han and Yang Buqi have always been friends. Now Yang Buqi's mind is still clear. Once Pu Han stepped in to speak for Yang Buqi in time, his own position would become very disadvantageous.

So now there can only be two developments, either he dies or he dies. However, this Yang Buqi is still a life-oriented...

Jiang Lin's thoughts turned, and he made a decisive decision. He picked up the branch he had picked up earlier, and under Yang Buqi's astonished gaze, pointed it at his chest, and stabbed it hard.

…

After a few more minutes, the door of the storage room was finally opened. A man wearing a **** taobao employee uniform appeared at the door.

"...Ah, what's going on?" He stared at the messy room and opened his mouth in surprise.

He took the order temporarily and came here to pick up people. But now, there was no one in the room, only a corpse lying on the ground, a bright red rune was placed against the wall, and a dead tree trunk stood in the middle of the rune array.

The trunk is only a little bit, and the fracture is uneven. It was like being torn apart abruptly.

The man frowned, scanned the situation in the room again, confirmed that it was not a mess that he could clean up, and stepped back decisively, his figure disappearing in the darkness.

Gone quietly.

On the other end, within the Path of Chaos.

A huge black shadow appeared out of thin air above the Hui-level area, it looked like a huge ball, and a circle of tentacles around it were dancing wildly.

As soon as she entered the path of chaos, she drifted forward in a familiar way. To her, this place was as familiar as home.

The only regret is that I couldn't use my previous body to ascend to Chen level. Now that the body is changed, after finding the next body, she has to upgrade again from Hui level...

The more Jiang Lin thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and decided to go to the Chen-level area to try his luck first. If she can really squat down to a Chen-level ability user, it will save her trouble.

With this in mind, she continued to float forward. She passed through the most Banhui-level area very quickly, and when her eyes fell on the junction entrance at the end, she was suddenly taken aback.

After being stunned, she speeded up and rushed forward. When he rushed in front of the ice wall, it was another round of mental crit.

The ice wall is so tall that it completely seals off the entire entrance. She tried to bump it with her tentacles.

Banger hard.

Jiang Lin: ...

She was silent for two seconds, turning around in front of the ice wall in disbelief, her eyes suddenly fell on one side of the wall.

I saw there, in a not-so-obvious color, a series of large crooked characters were written:

【Notice! This entrance has been completely blocked! Possessors must never change bodies! If you change it, you won't be able to get in! 】

【Jianglin·Stay】

Jiang Lin: ...
