MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 38

"By the way, what did he mean by 'group destroying engine'?"

Three minutes later, Xu Tuoran was walking cautiously along the corridor, while turning his head to ask Yang Buqi.

"I'm easy to be influenced because of my inclination to problems. I know that. But Pu Han, doesn't he know everything?"

Yang Buqi's complexion was not very good, he glanced at Pu Han who was walking behind, and thought for a while before saying: "In fact, his mental state has not been very good."

Xu Tuoran:?

"The higher the level of ability users, the closer they are to insanity. That's why the organization's control over advanced ability users is so strict. But Pu Han, he ascended by himself, and in a very risky way. This made his spirit He is more unstable than his peers. He is in poor health." Yang Buqi whispered, "And he is omniscient. He will absorb and interpret a lot of knowledge unconsciously, and it is easier to 'see' the existence of certain dangers..."

And when you stare at danger, the danger must return the same gaze.

If you meet an opponent whose level is lower than him, it's better, but I'm afraid of meeting someone with the same level or even higher than him...

In fact, it has been a long time since Pu Han was sent to the front line to perform tasks in the courtyard. He is generally only responsible for remote assistance in the courtyard. That's why Yang Buqi was quite surprised to see him appear here just now.

"To put it simply, my level of 'Hui' is relatively weak, and people of the same level can only be hanged and beaten." Pu Han's voice came from behind, and there was a bit of a smile in his tone, "And this This is the first time I encountered 'chaos' at the same level. It's the type I'm least good at dealing with..."

Pu Han chuckled twice: "If I am successfully destroyed by it, I will transform into a monster of the same level... At that time, do you think there is still a possibility for you to escape?"

Xu Turan: ...

So what the **** are you here for? Increase game difficulty? ?

Xu Tuoran murmured in his heart, thought about it and said: "Then can you make yourself invisible to 'it'? Like... like you did to me?"

She actually didn't know the reason for this—five minutes ago, in the Yangguan Greenhouse. After she cut off the black thread connected to the back of Yang Buqi's neck, Pu Han leaned over while saying "Don't look at it", and put his hands on her eyelids for more than ten seconds. When he took it away again, what Xu Tuoran saw immediately returned to normal.

There are no more dense black threads, nor trembling yellow eyes. Even the brightness has been improved a lot. Only the strange twilight outside the window reminded Xu Tuoran that she was still in the "domain".

...If I remember correctly, it's only around eight or nine o'clock in the morning,

As vision returns to normal, those hallucinations and trance feelings are no longer there. Xu Tuoran felt much more comfortable, and after hearing from Pu Han that he was also easily influenced, he made this suggestion.

After hearing this, Pu Han laughed again.

"You can't see 'it' now because I added a layer of shield called 'ignorance' to you." He whispered, "Ignorance is the best protection for you. But for me Said, but it is ineffective protection."

He has no way to make himself "ignorant", he can only be nakedly exposed to the vision of "it". He was already trying not to look at "it", but everything about "it" was like a thriving swarm of worms, rushing into his mind from the moment he stepped into the house, occupying him disturbing his thoughts...

"What the **** is this place?" Xu Tueran sneaked to the stairs and glanced down vigilantly, "Is this house itself a 'domain'? I didn't feel it at all before."

Yang Buqi nodded in the same confusion, and Pu Han suddenly laughed.

"It's fine if Xu Tuoran doesn't know. Don't you know?" He said softly, "No. 17...17, Xingxing Park Villa Area? Yang Buqi, you really don't remember?"

Yang Buqi rolled his eyes suspiciously, and a key word flashed across his mind: "71? Haunted House No. 71?"

"What is that?" Xu Tuoran was at a loss, "Is this the house you are talking about?"

"Yes, and no." Pu Han said quietly, "Haunted House No. 71 is its predecessor...I saw it. I saw everything. Sacrifice, ceremony, swinging candles...it is wandering, sleeping, waiting..."

He looked up at the sky, his tone suddenly became erratic.

"...Huh? Waiting? What are you waiting for? Interesting... tell me, what are you waiting for?"

He muttered, his tone so light that he didn't seem to be talking to Xu Tuoran and the others.

Xu Turan: ...

She watched Pu Han muttering to himself while passing between her and Yang Buqi, and went straight to the stairs, the shock in her heart was beyond words.

No... just kneeling? Although I had a premonition from the introduction before that you are very fragile, but this kneeling is too fast, right? !

After all, is it a Hui class? It was too watery too!

Seeing that Pu Han was about to roll down the stairs, Xu Tuoran hurriedly reached out to grab him. Before she stretched out her hand, she suddenly heard a "pop" sound—

Pu Han raised his right hand by himself, and slapped him hard across the face.

Xu Tuoran: "..."

Half a second later, Pu Han turned around again, his eyes regained his composure.

"This is not a place to talk, let's go to your room."

He said as if nothing had happened, rubbing his slightly red right hand, and walked back first.

Xu Tuoran: "..."

In a sense, she really felt that it was her luck to know Pu Han.

When he was around, she could always find some sense of being a normal person. This is really rare.

"You guys go first, Yang Buqi knows the way." When his thoughts returned, Xu Turan was silent for a moment, and quickly glanced downstairs, "My brother is still downstairs. I'll go get him up."

Anyway, I'm still angry. Leave it alone, what if you really die.

"It's okay, don't worry about him." Pu Han waved his hand, and said in a firm tone, "You have already broken the 'thread' on his body. The domain master is in a state of confusion again, so he can't take care of him for the time being."

Xu Tuoran: "...But he chewed his phone and cup just now? Don't worry about it?"

When Yang Buqi heard the words, he was about to speak to comfort him, when Pu Han began to wave his hands impatiently.

"What are you afraid of if you have Yang Buqi?" Pu Han was confident, "It's a torch level of life. After two levels, let alone take out a mobile phone from someone else's stomach, you ask him to give it to you from his own stomach on the spot. It’s okay to take out a baby.”

Yang Buqi: …

Is there something wrong with you?

Because of Pu Han's affirmation, Xu Tuoran finally gave up on going to find his adoptive brother, and took the other two to his room first.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw a scene of tragedy—because of Xu Tuoran's passive skills, a group of supernatural objects placed in the room by her were going crazy and killing each other. Debris splattered everywhere.

Yang Buqi hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, turned around and painted various defensive runes on the door panels and walls familiarly.

Xu Tuoran tore apart the wrestling supernatural objects, knocked them to the ground one by one, and turned to look at Pu Han: "So, what is that Haunted House No. 71?"

"That's an abomination." Pu Han closed his eyes, and tried to sort out what he "saw", "Seven years ago, there was a lot of trouble... It gathered a group of believers through the way of dreaming , let them perform a blood sacrifice in a house. It wanted to complete the upgrade through that sacrifice, but accidentally merged with that house..."

"The house number is exactly No. 71." Yang Buqiu said without turning his head, "For him, that house has become a permanent 'domain'. After that, it has been carrying around like a snail. That house moves."

"It disguises the house as a single-family dwelling, hides it in the residential area, and lures humans to live in it. Then it controls the residents a little bit, turns them into believers, holds more rituals through them, and collects more 'food'... "

The name of Haunted House No. 71 comes from this.

"Later, it was captured and contained by the Charity Institute for research." Pu Han opened his eyes and said, "In the accident five years ago, it was one of the abominations that were released."

"I wanted to ask before. Why do you call those people 'believers'?" Xu Tuoran asked strangely, "Isn't this the younger brother who joined the pyramid scheme and was brainwashed?"

Yang Buqi: …

That being said, it seems to be the case.

Pu Han snorted and shook his head: "This name is from the abominations. They like to call themselves gods, and believers are naturally believers... Haunted House No. 71 is not bad. It's been a few years In the past, there was an omniscient tendency in foreign countries, and the believers developed so much, but later they were also taken down by the ability users of several organizations..."

Later, he was also released in an accident five years ago, and is still missing today. In a sense, it is the same goal as Haunted House No. 71.

Yang Buqi paused, and remembered an important thing: "No, wait a minute. I remember that in the records left, Haunted House No. 71 is only '爟' level?"

"That is to say, after it was let go by the prophet, it experienced another wave of upgrades?" Xu Tuoran was speechless, "Is it so capable?"

"At present, it looks like this." Pu Han nodded, "Obviously it has grown a lot. I know that I have changed my house number... How about it, is there a kind of slap in the face of 'the three-year period has come, and the Dragon King returns'" Shuangwen has a sense of sight?"

Xu Tuoran: "...I understand the truth. The question is why the slap in the face was on my side? I wasn't the one who caught it in the first place."

"I think this is the problem." Yang Buqi defended the room as much as possible, clapped his hands, and sat down next to Xu Tuoran, "What's the situation with your brother? Is he a believer?"

Xu Tuoran carefully recalled the "Guidelines for Identifying Abominable Believers" taught in the training class these days, and compared it with the observation results of the past few days, shaking his head.

"No, he's just being controlled."

There was no flesh and blood of unknown origin in the refrigerator, and there were no ritual materials or runes in the room. And after winning a moment of freedom, he still remembered to remind himself to run away—this is obviously not something a completely brainwashed person can do.

"That's a bit strange." Yang Buqi frowned, "It controlled your brother, but didn't use him to take further actions... Then what exactly is it trying to do?"

Xu Tuoran also frowned. For some reason, the few words Pu Han said not long ago suddenly flashed in his mind—

wait.

Pu Han said it was waiting.

What is it waiting for?

Of course, thinking about it, Xu Tuoran didn't say this question out of his mouth—God knows, not long ago Pu Han almost rolled down the stairs because of pursuing this question.

Knowing that she didn't know what to pursue now, she wisely changed the subject: "Let's think about how to get out first."

"Indeed." Pu Han nodded, "We don't have much time left."

He can't beat Haunted House No. 71 single-handedly. If he stays in this domain for a long time, he will collapse sooner or later. Once he collapses, the shield of ignorance added to Xu Tuoran will fail, and Xu Tuoran will face the illusion brought about by Haunted House No. 71—bad luck, one collapse and two collapses.

And they still have time to discuss countermeasures here, all because Xu Tuoran's passive skill "Complicating and confusing" is being activated. But the "complicated" upgrade effect can only last for 24 hours - he doesn't know how Xu Tuoran did it, he didn't "read" this part. Frankly he doesn't care either.

What he cares about is that after twenty-four hours, the strengthening effect will disappear, and Haunted House No. 71 will get rid of the chaotic state. At that time, they will really have no chance of survival.

Yang Buqi didn't know the existence of the 24-hour time limit, but he knew that Pu Han would not last long. After a little thought, he agreed with the two of them, opened his bag, and poured out a bunch of things.

"I have some props on me. But I thought that the accident was caused by the brush of the pen fairy, so the things I prepared are all ordinary..." He stretched out his hand to pick among the piles of things. With sharp eyes, Xu Tuoran picked up a silver box:

"This is very similar to the box over there with old man Jiang."

It's just that there is an exquisite padlock on the outside, with runes on the lock that she has never seen before.

"Well, this is a sealing box. It can be used to seal the highest level of abominations..."

Noticing Xu Tuoran's instantly lit eyes, he added helplessly, "But we don't have that condition of use."

Although the upper limit of this box is high, the specific performance depends on the user's level and the auxiliary materials used. If it is to be used to suppress "爟" level abominations, it must be used by torch and above ability users, and it needs to consume some lamp level props.

If it is used to deal with "Hui" level abominations, it can only be used by ability users of Hui level and above, and the props consumed must also be above E level, and must be plural.

On their side, there is barely one Hui-level ability user, but the number of props is definitely not enough.

Xu Tuoran touched the pen in his pocket through his clothes, his eyebrows and eyes darkened slightly.

Speaking of which, for some unknown reason, there has been no movement for a long time.

She pondered for a moment, then looked at Pu Han again: "By the way, what did you bring?"

"?" Pu Han looked at her curiously, "How do you know I brought something?"

"Less pretense—you will come, it must be Feifei who asked you to come." Xu Tuoran's tone was affirmative, "She will let you come, she must have foreseen something, then you should always be prepared... you won't really let you come Would you like to give me a head?"

Pu Han smiled, and really took out something from his pocket, and put it on the ground.

"Okay, you're right. Time is urgent, and I don't have time to apply for more props. I only brought a piece of rule paper."

"However, the response of this paper is a bit slow, and the content is delayed. It is estimated that we will have to wait a while before we can generate escape rules suitable for us."

Xu Tuoran: "...?"

She also learned about rule paper recently. This thing is infused with the power of two tendencies of order and omniscience. It can summarize the loopholes in the domain and other people's experience based on the user's current situation and input content, and generate the latest life-saving rules by itself, providing more escapes for capable users. Chance.

And once the "rules" are formed, they can also form certain constraints on the monsters in the domain, and if they are used by order ability users, the effect will be better.

It's a pity that her current order level is too low... let alone confrontation, it is difficult to play a basic defensive role. In fact, Xu Tuoran once asked Pu Han if his tendency towards order could come in handy, and the other party only replied with four words:

A drop in the bucket.

It's also quite hurtful.

Xu Tuoran sighed secretly, picked up the piece of paper, unfolded it, and saw only one line of big red characters on it:

【don't want! Enter! No. 17, Star Park Villa Area! 】

...It can be seen that the delay is indeed a bit too much.

The three people in the room looked at each other, finally Pu Han sighed, and took the paper back: "Forget it, give me a pen. I will write down what I see, and the rules may be generated faster ...But you have to keep an eye on me, if I'm not in the right state, wake me up immediately."

Xu Tueran found a pen for him, and said casually, "Wouldn't Feifei hit you?"

"She will hurt if you hit me." Pu Han said confidently, turned around and lay down on the desk, and began to enter content on the rule paper.

Xu Tuoran opened the drawer, took out two **** of silver-colored paper, and took them apart one by one.

Noticing Yang Buqi's puzzled gaze, she took the initiative to explain: "Some supernatural items are more useful, and I usually don't keep them outside."

For example, the mirror of chaos, or the **** Polaroid she has kept until now.

Now, however, they need to deepen the chaos of the domain master as much as possible. It is always right to bring out more abominations.

Xu Tueran picked up the Polaroid and took a photo casually. He was surprised to find that the Polaroid, which was almost out of color, could now take a photo with normal colors.

"...Maybe it's because I've been in this domain for a long time and absorbed the power." Yang Buqi took it and observed it for a while, then pursed his lips, "This domain seems to have the effect of strengthening and restoring other non-human beings... Fortunately, the Nothing to blame."

Otherwise, when the time comes to fight, there will be some troubles...

As he was thinking about it, he saw Xu Tuoran snapping several photos in a row, and then quickly stuffed them all through the crack of the door.

Yang Buqi: "..."

"It should be almost there." Xu Tuoran nodded affirmatively, turned around and saw Yang Buqi still had one in his hand, took it too, and stuffed it out.

While stuffing it, he asked, "Oh yes, what did you just say?"

Yang Buqi: "...It's nothing. I'm just lamenting that there are no mobs in this domain..."

"Oh, oh, I also found this problem." Xu Tueran nodded in agreement, "So I just added some. By the way, can this door be opened? If it can be opened, I will also throw out these supernatural items .”

Yang Buqi: …

Fortunately, Pu Han had already explained Xu Tuoran's passive ability to him before - Yang Buqi thought with a blank face.

Otherwise, it would be really hard not to make her an undercover agent if he acted against her.

Regrettably, the supernatural items that Xu Tuoran bought this time did not seem to be particularly useful.

Mirror of Chaos, you need to meet other people's eyes to make them hallucinate. In addition, the most powerful thing is a teddy bear with a knife. It is a beast. It is said that it likes to kill small animals and stuff their internal organs into its body. However, Xu Tuoran's house is so hygienic that there is not even a cockroach.

"The fox sculpture that can manipulate people's emotions, the flashlight that can cause burns and the illusion of fire, the vitamin bottle that can make people irritable and irritable..." Xu Tuoran counted the supernatural items in the room one by one, and the more he counted, the more he felt that this was the case. One batch was not actually bought.

It seems that the grades are relatively high, but they are not as practical as the previous batch.

She suddenly missed the bald doll very much.

On the other side, Yang Buqi listened to her count each item in detail, but the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"You... sleep in the same room with these things every night?"

"Ah." Xu Tuoran replied absent-mindedly, and took out the pen from his pocket that hadn't moved for a long time. Just in time, Pu Han turned around with the rule paper in hand, and when he saw the pen, he said "yo":

"This thing is good, where did you get it?"

"In Old Man Jiang's shop..." Xu Tuoran responded subconsciously, and suddenly realized something, and glanced at Pu Han in surprise.

Pu Han didn't pay attention to her expression, took the rule paper over and placed it among the crowd—only his handwriting was densely packed on the paper.

He wrote everything he "read" about the house on rule paper. After a while, the densely packed writing gradually disappeared, and lines of clear and correct red writing gradually surfaced:

[This notice was generated in a state of emergency, and it is only for the environment related to Haunted House No. 71, and it is only for reference. Reference materials are limited, if you have obtained more complete information, please transcribe it at the bottom of the paper as soon as possible to generate more complete rules. 】

[For those who enter Haunted House No. 71 for the first time, please act according to this notice as much as possible. 】

[1. Please be sure to leave the house within 23 hours. 】

[2. Please ensure that there are two or more abominations active in the current house. 】

【3. Please avoid activities in places with water as much as possible. 】

【4. Please avoid getting any liquid on your body. If it gets on it, wipe it off quickly and keep it dry! 】

【5. Please make sure that you and your companions do not have any black silk thread standing up at the back of the neck. If there is one, cut it off at all costs! 】

[6. If black silk lines appear in your field of vision, quickly confirm whether there are eyeball-shaped objects around. If not, look away and exit the current room as quietly as possible. If so, please stop acting and thinking immediately. If necessary, put yourself into a state of shock. 】

【7. If you have an anchor, please confirm its status again. Please make sure it is normal, usable and reliable. 】

[8. If you see someone or something that obviously does not belong to the current time during the action, please pretend not to see it. And avoid all unnecessary touching. 】

[9. No matter under any circumstances, don't look up. 】

【10. No, want, raise your head. 】

…

After that, there is a section that requires the capable person to keep as much information and records as possible.

Xu Tuoran, who has read all the rulebooks: "..."

After a rough calculation, at least three of them have been violated by myself... Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem to be an injustice to be entangled in hallucinations before.

No wonder you can get one thousand and two at a time.

Xu Tuoran sighed inwardly, watching Yang Buqi take away the rule paper and stick it on the door, with a bit of thought on his face.

"It doesn't seem to say clearly how to escape."

Yang Buqi took a deep look at her: "You also said it, but you didn't 'explicitly say'."

"Hmm..." Xu Tuoran nodded, and casually turned the pen in his hand, "Judging from the content given on the rule paper, there may be things in this domain that do not belong to this time and space."

"The formation of the domain is due to the ceremony." Pu Han interfaced, "If we can find clues about the ceremony of the year, there may be a way to get out."

"Then we still have to go out and have a look." Yang Buqi nodded, "Fortunately, this is the house. Search every room, even if it takes one hour, twenty-three hours will definitely be enough."

"Yeah." Xu Tuoran nodded casually, put the pen of the Bixian back into his pocket, and said by the way, "Then where do we search first? This house has four floors connected to the basement."

Yang Buqi was stunned: "Which floor has fewer rooms? Let's search from the floor with fewer rooms first."

"It's hard to say, wait for me to figure it out." Xu Tuoran snapped his fingers, "There is a game room, billiard room, wine cellar, and audio-visual hall in the basement. On the first floor, there is an entrance hall, dining room, living room, two bathrooms, and two side halls. ...There is also a kitchen preparation area...the second floor has two bedrooms, each with a private bathroom and cloakroom, as well as a conservatory and living room...the third floor has a study, gym and two guest bedrooms, which also have private bathrooms and cloakrooms... Oh, by the way, there is a greenhouse outside on the first floor. Do you want to see that too?"

Yang Buqi and Pu Han: "..."

After a while, Pu Han turned his head to look at Yang Buqi, with a half smile but not a smile: "What were you talking about just now? There is still time for an hour?"

Yang Buqi: …

Sorry, I was naive.
