MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 86
Ice eighteen · Hui class.
One of the abilities of "Snow Queen - Natural Disaster Tendency". After upgrading to the brilliance level, the trigger probability rises to 80%, and it appears as a flowable black crystal. The surface of the crystal has an ultra-high temperature, and can carry out targeted influence and strike according to the user's intention.
like this moment.
The spreading black ice crystals are like giant pythons and dragons roaring silently, swimming quickly along the corridor, passing by like wildfire, with a mighty momentum to burn and engulf everything. Nearly a thousand temperatures exploded on the surface of those severed hands, and then rushed all the way to the monster standing among the severed hands, but miraculously did not leave any marks on the walls and floors.
What followed was the sizzling sound and the heart-piercing scream from the monster on the opposite side—although Bing Eighteen's speed was not as fast as No. silent. It stood very close to Xu Turan, so that it was about to be hit by the ice before it had time to make any resistance, and it only took a moment to be burned until it melted.
There was a disgusting smell coming from the tip of his nose, Xu Tu then backed away a little, his heart still beating violently because of the skill released just now, he looked down at the palm of his hand, and frowned slightly.
For some reason, the moment she successfully cast Bing Shiba, her palm also started to hurt obviously, as if it was scalded... What kind of situation is this? side effect?
Xu Tuoran seemed to realize something, and folded his palms helplessly, and didn't seem to feel very strange about it.
And now, obviously, is not the time to think about it. The black crystals were difficult to maintain for a long time, but they dissipated after a while. The monster not far away was still standing upright, but its outline had obviously changed. Xu Tuoran was suddenly thankful that the light in this place was quite poor - so at least she didn't have to face the tragic scene she caused.
She also clearly knew that the destructive power of this move was great, but it couldn't last much longer. The accompanying creature cannot be eliminated alone, even if it is burned into a ball of coke at this moment, it can slowly put itself together again.
The squirming silhouette in the dark confirmed her thoughts. In just a few seconds, the scorched black wreckage of the severed hand climbed up again in the dimness, like a mouse, crawling towards the motionless monster itself.
And the monster itself began to writhe slowly in the thin light, groaning in pain.
...really troublesome.
Xu Turan frowned unhappily, and felt even more helpless when he heard the sound of a large piece of ice shattering from behind. She hurriedly knocked on the door next to her, wanting to let other people move away while she didn't want to, just as she raised her hand, she suddenly heard a burst of panic from inside.
"I'll go, what's going on with him?"
"Hold him down! Gag him—with my flashlight!"
Xu Tuoran's heart skipped a beat, he hurriedly opened the door, and only took a look inside, his face immediately changed slightly.
Then I saw her looking around, quickly got into the room, locked the door forcefully, and at the same time circled the country in my heart.
"I declare that without my permission, no existence is allowed to enter or leave this room!"
She finished speaking quickly, gasping for breath because of the physical strength that was taken away, and quickly walked towards the other three: "What's wrong with the moon?"
"I don't know, it's like this all of a sudden—" Jiaojiao's father was still trying to hold him down, and at the same time pulled out a small flashlight from Shiyue's mouth, then pulled a rag from nowhere and stuffed it in.
Shiyue lying on the bed was still struggling desperately, rolling his eyes, twitching all over, looking in a bad state.
Yes, the bed—by the neon light thrown in the window, it could be recognized that this should be a hospital room. There are several hospital beds and supporting equipment in a small space.
After Lao Wang and Jiaojiao's father came in, they placed the dizzy Shiyue on one of the hospital beds. Jiaojiao's father also took out a small flashlight from his toolbox to check it carefully. I didn't want to take out the tools, and I saw Shiyue on the bed began to struggle and convulse, as if he had an illness.
Xu Tuoran stepped forward to look at the situation, thought for a while, and quickly said, "I declare that all people lying on the hospital bed are regarded as patients."
"All the patients will become healthy after being appeased... No, sober... Still can't? All right, then be calm! They will all become calm!"
Xu Tuoran tried several times in succession, and finally successfully worked out a rule that works. Eclipse lying on the hospital bed gradually became calm as others comforted her.
really. Rules for others are more troublesome than rules for yourself. It is also very difficult to use the rules to forcibly change reality.
Xu Tuoran sighed secretly, and the next second, he closed his eyes because of the movement outside the door.
— Just outside the door, there was a sudden bang bang sound, accompanied by the sound of ice shards brushing and falling.
Obviously, the two monsters that were frozen earlier had broken free from the ice.
It seemed that they realized that this ward was being protected by some kind of force, and they couldn't forcefully break through. They quickly changed their strategy and turned to making a strange buzzing sound, lingering at the door.
Xu Turan and Lao Wang didn't respond to this sound, only Jiaojiao's father's eyes appeared a little dazed.
"Who is outside?" He asked confusedly, "I seem to hear the voices of my daughter and wife. They told me to go out."
"Thinking too much, there are only people breaking the ice outside." Xu Tuoran said bluntly, and imposed another soundproof rule. Jiaojiao's father's eyes gradually became clear.
"The two of us can't be separated from them." Lao Wang looked at Xu Tuoran solemnly, "Those accompanying creatures are also prone to eternal day, and can hypnotize. Visually, the range of influence is torch level and below. Once the other two are alone, it is very easy Easy to be singled out...?"
He was halfway through speaking, and suddenly felt something was wrong, and suddenly looked at Xu Tuoran: "Strange, aren't you also a torch?"
Why didn't she respond when she heard the voice just now?
Lao Wang's first reaction was that his guess was wrong. Xu Turan didn't want to mislead him, so he said directly: "It used to be the torch, but now the natural disaster has arrived."
"Before?" Old Wang was taken aback, "But the last time we confirmed our orientation and level was a few days ago?"
"I just got promoted during the day." Xu Tuoran said lightly, looked closely at the state of the eclipse moon, and frowned.
Though under her rules, Eclipse Moon's convulsions have ceased. But this method is a temporary solution, not the root cause. He still has no signs of waking up, and his teeth are clenched tightly, and the eyeballs under his eyelids are shaking rapidly, obviously still trapped in a negative state.
"He...isn't Mengyue?" Xu Tueran's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at the other two, seeing the same guess in their eyes.
Can't wake up, can't abort. Xu Tuoran was helpless, turned his head to look around, and said casually: "By the way, have you tried to actively use skills? This place seems to have no usage restrictions."
Jiaojiao's father was taken aback for a moment, tried to wave his hand, and then shook his head: "It still doesn't work."
"...Eh, can't it?" Xu Tuoran, who was checking the equipment next to him, paused, his expression changed slightly as if he had realized something.
"I can't." Lao Wang affirmed Jiaojiao's father's idea after trying it, "If you want to use it, you will still be restrained by your emotions... Why do you have the idea of lifting the restriction?"
The last sentence was for Xu Tuoran. Xu Tuoran blinked, his eyes wandered for a while, and he said vaguely: "Guess. Maybe I made a mistake."
As she spoke, she turned around, but the doubts in her heart grew even bigger.
Why did she have such an idea? Naturally, it was because after she took the initiative to use her skills, she no longer felt sad.
After she completed the upgrade during the day, she basically didn't use her abilities until this operation started. When she was freezing the camera outside the hospital, her nose would still be sore and swollen, but after entering the hospital, she no longer felt that way.
After realizing that the place had been transformed into a hunting ground for companion creatures, she took it for granted that the change was due to geography. But if everyone else is still held back by emotions...
In other words, it was herself who really changed. .
Xu Tuoran lowered his head and looked at the palm of his hand—after using Bingshiba, the palm was a little red, as if it had been scalded.
This is a side effect caused by Bingshiba.
This reminded Xu Tuoran of another thing. About when she leveled up during the day.
Her upgrade in natural disaster tendency has always been very smooth. It's just that there was a small episode in the process - after she entered the cemetery, she directly used up all the 8,000 walking steps at hand. While using it, she directly got a warning from the system, suggesting that the 8,000 steps be used in batches. One-time use may cause some side effects.
But Xu was in a hurry to upgrade. And it's rare for her to get a chance to log in to the dream space. If she misses this time, she won't know when she will come in next time.
So she didn't care about that warning, and she was determined to use up all the steps. Just enough for her to rise to Hui.
Because there were no other prompts in the follow-up, she did not gain death points for this behavior. So she didn't think too much about it. However now it seems...
The so-called "bringing side effects", shouldn't it be to amplify the negative effects of the skill itself?
And she used number seven ice far more than ice eighteen. Is it possible... the side effects of Ice No. 7 have also appeared?
Abnormal state of sanity—the word popped out immediately.
A dangerous state of withdrawing oneself to the third perspective, not caring about anything, and only brutally pursuing victory or defeat. Mo De emotion in the true sense.
A bad guess emerged in Xu Tuoran's mind. Maybe it's not that the restrictions on her body have been lifted, but that she can no longer feel the sadness, so the restrictions are automatically invalid.
Then it's a little embarrassing.
From a short-term point of view, this matter is absolutely beneficial to her. Crying is exhausting, after all. The problem is, in her experience, once this situation continues to deepen, it is only a matter of time before she fully enters "abnormal sanity".
Xu vainly closed his eyes restrainedly, only to feel his head getting bigger.
At this moment, Lao Wang suddenly heard a low "Huh" behind him, and walked over quickly.
Xu Tuoran was still having a headache about the side effects, and turned around in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"The light outside the window has changed." Lao Wang whispered, and took a few steps forward to the window. As a "long night" ability user, he can be said to be quite sensitive to changes in light.
Xu Tuoran looked back at Shiyue who was still lying on the bed, pursed his lips and followed. I saw Lao Wang forcefully pushing open the window.
"Sure enough." He whispered, pointing to the sky, "Look, the moon."
Xu Furan followed the prestige, and he saw a blood-colored full moon hanging in the sky, with faint brilliance floating.
"That's not right." Lao Wang tried his best to lean out, with a thoughtful expression on his face, "I have recorded the sky every day since I came in. But I have never seen the stars and the moon. Let alone this kind of... Could it be that today is something special? day?"
He patted Xu Tuoran beside him casually: "Auntie, have you seen the moon here before?"
Xu Tuoran: "..."
The aunt looked down silently, without speaking.
Old Wang thought about it and felt that something was wrong, and just wanted to check with Jiaojiao's father again, when he suddenly heard his auntie cough twice.
"Compared to the moon... why don't you pay attention to what's below us first?"
Old Wang: "?"
He lowered his head in a daze, his breathing suddenly stagnant.
I saw the abyss below them. A bottomless abyss.
The whole hospital is like an isolated island rising from the bottom of the sea. Outside the building is a huge and deep gully, like a huge mouth that opened, separating them from the surrounding ground far away.
Not only that, but the floors below them were still turning—the hospital originally only had the third floor. However, they are on the eighth floor at the moment. The floors below are like a living Rubik's cube, spinning on its own with great momentum.
"It's not just downstairs..." Xu Tuoran turned around to look, and then signaled the old dynasty to look up.
Above their heads, the building soared into the sky, and the continuously rotating floors could also be seen.
The only thing that didn't move seemed to be their floor—a conclusion that was drawn because when they looked out of the window, the other buildings they saw remained unchanged.
The neon lights in the distance flickered, and rune-like light projections occasionally floated in the air. They can even see the shops and pedestrians on the street not far away.
However, no one noticed their side. The hospital they were in seemed to be isolated to another world.
"They 'reformed' this building." Lao Wang let out a deep breath, "This place has become an abnormal place."
No wonder they went from the first floor to the eighth floor in one go. After he and Xu Tuoran separated, they lost their way again.
"But the facilities inside the hospital haven't changed." Xu Tuoran settled down, stepped back from the window, and pointed out to him the instruments he observed earlier, "These instruments all have numbers that match those of the ward. Although here is' Eighth floor', but the number is 208...!"
Before she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of a black shadow from the corner of her eye, turned around in a hurry, and heard Jiaojiao's father next to her say "Hey":
"Hey! It's a scam!"
I saw Shiyue, who had been lying quietly, suddenly sat up, not only that, but also suddenly opened a pair of blue eyes, and rushed towards the door with teeth and claws!
Jiaojiao's father happened to be within the range of his pounce, and hurriedly dodged cursing. Old Wang hurriedly stepped forward to hold him back, Xu Tuoran looked at Shiyue screaming and was dumbfounded on the spot: "What's going on?"
She has clearly ordered that "people lying on the hospital bed" will be forcibly sedated. What's the situation?
"What else can happen." Jiaojiao's father took out the rope from the toolbox and rushed up. He was going to tie his mouth, but the rope was caught by Shiyue, "He doesn't want to be a man anymore!"
Old Wang: "? Then what does he want to do?"
The eclipse moon gave the answer with practical actions.
He raised his head and let out a loud howl.
Everyone: "..."
"Understood." Xu Tueran nodded thoughtfully, "He is a werewolf now."
"Wolf, he's a quality husky." Jiaojiao's father looked dismayed.
Xu Turan didn't dare to use ice to deal with Shiyue, fearing that something bad would happen to the ice, so he stepped forward to help control it, and at the same time asked anxiously, "Husky? Is it a dog?"
She wanted to confirm again, to see if she needed to add another rule that used dogs as the main language, but Jiaojiao's father didn't hear her clearly, and said blankly: "Huskies, that's the one, the sleds are stupid. They can tear down houses—"
As soon as the words fell, the moon suddenly exploded, and with a groan, everyone bounced away, and rushed to the door again.
Because of Xu Tuoran's rules, although he opened the door, he couldn't go out, so he could only stand at the door and rage: "Oh—"
The monster who was standing at the door trying to knock on the door panel: "..."
Its countless hands were frozen in the air, and it stared blankly at the open door in front of it, trying to move its feet.
Still can't get in.
The monster was angry: "What do you mean?"
Because of the sound insulation, Shiyue didn't hear him. He just tried his best to scratch the air wall, grinning to the outside: "Aw—"
Monster: "Are you provoking me?"
Eclipse Moon: "Aww—"
Monster: "Come out if you have the ability."
Eclipse Moon: "Awwhhh—"
…
[Congratulations, you have obtained 300 death points. 】
An abrupt reminder sounded. Xu vainly looked puzzled.
Although it is very happy to drop money from the sky, what does it matter to me? ?
...but it doesn't seem too bad.
Xu Tuoran seriously thought for a few seconds whether he should just put the eclipse moon at the door to collect points. After thinking about it, he should forget it. There are too many accompanying creatures in this place, so it is prudent to escape early, so he greeted the other two and forcibly moved the eclipse moon. Yue dragged away from the door, and closed the door again in front of the monster at the door.
Xu Tuoran was in charge of closing the door. This move successfully brushed up to two hundred death points. She was inexplicably curious about the psychological activities of the accompanying creatures outside the door.
On the other side, the commotion of the eclipse moon is not over yet. His attack power is already high, and his strikes are not serious. Xu Turan's thoughts changed, and he wanted to grab his identity card to change his combat power, but he couldn't get it, so he simply took out the fox ornament from his pocket, intending to directly calm him down—
She asked the other two to control them, swung the fox ornament in her hand, and patted Shiyue's head.
Adding rules while swinging back: "I declare that in this country, if you are hit on the head, you will fall into a faint—"
Out of the love of her teammates, she avoided the place where the eclipse was hit before. It was not the base of the fox ornament that was used to strike, but the body of the fox, which was less lethal, and did not use too much force.
Anyway, as long as the rules can be triggered.
So, just heard a click.
Shiyue raised her head violently, just in time to catch the fox ornament that was thrown at it.
Others are fine. The tail of the fox ornament is half off.
Xu Tuoran: "..."
Fox Ornament: "..."
I **** your daddy. what I did wrong?
The fox ornament began to blink helplessly. Seeing that Xu Tuoran failed in one blow, he wanted to make another stab with himself, so he hurriedly tried to tremble, broke free from Xu Tuoran's hand, and rolled to the ground with a slap.
Xu Tuoran's heart is not dead, he still wants to pick it up and swing it again. However, he saw the fox ornament spun around on the ground with difficulty, stood upright with a snap, stared fixedly at the eclipse moon in front of him, and his two eyeballs began to move crazily.
...as if influenced by some mysterious force, the frenzied eclipse gradually calmed down. It's just that the blue eyes are still lifeless and chaotic.
Xu Tuoran: "..."
She exchanged glances with the other two, and stepped back cautiously. Jiaojiao's father exhaled: "You fox belongs to Yongzhou? Why didn't you bring out such a good thing earlier."
"I didn't know it would do this." Xu Tuoran whispered, "And it only has a light level. I thought it would be invisible at most..."
"Yongri's words, that's not invisibility. It's affecting people's consciousness, making people invisible." Old Wang said firmly, "And when the target itself is not conscious, Yongri can influence people across levels. .”
Noticing the surprised gazes of the other two, he coughed rather low-key: "I once tore up three buildings with other people on the forum because of the comparison between Chang Ye and Yong Day's combat power. I am quite familiar with this tendency. of."
Xu Tuoran: "..."
On the other side, Shiyue, who had already calmed down, suddenly stood up again, walked slowly to the door, and started banging his head on the door without saying a word.
Xu Tuoran: "?"
"Why does he have to go out?" She didn't understand.
"To bask in the moonlight." Jiaojiao's father replied, "He told me before that on nights when he dreamed of a full moon, he would run out to bask in the moonlight like sleepwalking. So far. Whoever blocks whoever is beaten."
"That's not right." Old Wang said, "The moon can only be seen through the window. What is he doing in the corridor?"
Xu Tuoran: "..."
She turned her head to look at the window behind her, and at the eclipse who kept banging on the door in front of her, and suddenly realized: "Maybe his instinct is guiding him? He knows that the window cannot be opened, so he walked through the door?"
She suddenly turned to the other two and pointed at Shiyue: "Will this instinct point all the way to the outside..."
"You mean, the current eclipse can be used as a bee guide?" Jiaojiao's father frowned, "But we are not even sure if there is an exit from this place."
"I think there should be." Lao Wang pointed to the equipment that Xu Tuoran had checked, "As my aunt said before, the internal facilities of this hospital have not changed. The equipment on the second floor is placed in the ward on the eighth floor. Point to Two possibilities - either, it's actually the second floor. We've been duped. Or as an 'extra' floor, it just replicates the facilities of the existing floor."
In any case, at least it shows that the building they are in is still a "hospital". It is very likely that the exits and underground facilities of the hospital will be preserved.
But now the question is - how do they act inside the hospital.
Xu vainly fell into deep thought.
Using absolute kingship to directly create an advantage is of course the fastest. However, the scope of this hospital is too large now, and the activities in it are all Hui-level companions. The exact number is unknown. She is not sure that she can use "absolute kingship" to bring enough suppression.
After all, the last time she was able to dominate in the dormitory of Dahuaihua Middle School, one of the reasons was because there were school rules there. And at that time, there was only one Hui class in the building, Dahuaihua, which was completely different from the current situation.
The highest grade No.7 Ice and Ice Eighteen have the most guaranteed power. Clear the field quickly and control it. But now she has lost her sense of sadness, and if she continues to use it, she is worried that she will lose her feelings again...
It doesn't matter if she's alone. Afraid of implicating other people when the time comes.
"Complicated and confusing", the control effect of this is stable. But Hui-level monsters are often more mature, even if they are confused, they will not be particularly out of control.
If only they could fight themselves...
Xu Turan felt a little regretful. Inexplicably, she missed the black shadow she first encountered. The monsters at that time were so simple, they would fight directly when they were confused, and she didn't have to worry about it.
Xu Tuoran was still thinking about countermeasures, Lao Wang had already dragged Jiaojiao's father to the window again, and pointed out the blood moon to him—he still cared about the moon, and always felt that something was wrong.
Jiaojiao's father also found it strange. Among all the people, he and Xiyue were the first to come. He had never seen any stars and moons in the sky here.
What's more, it's still a blood moon.
"There really is a red moon in this world." He was amazed, "I always thought it was the eclipse of the moon that fooled me."
"...?" Xu Tuoran paused, then turned his head suddenly, "What did you just say? Eclipse Moon mentioned the red moon."
"That's right. He said that the full moons in his dreams are not all the same. Sometimes they are red, sometimes white, and sometimes there are two or three..." Jiaojiao's father said to himself.
The two people beside them were stunned.
Amidst the sound of the eclipse's head banging against the door, they exchanged glances with each other.
Then Qi Qi opened his mouth.
Xu Tuoran: "How do you say the domain master connects people's subconscious..."
Lao Wang: "I'm stupid. Yong Zhou can also read and affect dreams. I actually forgot about it."
"...?" Jiaojiao's father turned his head in a daze, "Excuse me, what are you talking about?"
Xu Turan didn't speak. She seems to understand why she has been dreaming since she entered the domain, or those dreams that she doesn't remember—
"The domain master took materials from our dreams and put them into this world!" She suddenly realized, "The moon in the sky is actually the moon dreamed about by the eclipse of the moon..."
Jiaojiao's father pursed his lips, and finally caught up with the train of thought: "Well, what then?"
"Then...then Yong Zhou can affect the dream." Xu Tuoran murmured, looking at the fox ornament on the ground.
Fox Ornament: "..."
Xu Tuoran's eyes turned slightly, and he had a bold idea in his heart.
She calmly added 3,500 points to "Absolute Kingship", and then redefined the territory—this time, she expanded the territory and enclosed an entire floor.
This range belongs to the excellent range she can master. And because this room is included in the new country, the original rules still stand.
Then, she took the fox ornament and lay down on another hospital bed.
"I declare that all things that are produced by me are considered my property."
"I declare that all my belongings will be born in my country."
"I declare that in my country, all my belongings must obey my command."
After adding the three rules, Xu Tuoran felt exhausted for a while. She placed the fox ornament on the bedside, and said seriously:
"Now, put me to sleep. And then let me have nightmares. The hellish kind."
Fox Ornament: "..."
Its eyeballs started to fly around again, and Eclipse, who was hitting the door, straightened up suddenly, and said stiffly:
"Do you...have that...thing...?"
Xu Tuoran: "..."
Indeed, she didn't seem to have had any real "nightmare" except in the Path of Chaos.
But she doesn't need the Path of Chaos right now.
"...Then let me have some sweet dreams." She thought about it for a while, then changed her mind, "It will make me feel full of fruitful dreams."
Fox Ornament: "..."
"If you don't listen, I'll throw you out of the door." Xu Tuoran said calmly, and lay down on the bed, "Hey, whoever you want, please coax me!"
The other two: "..."
Although Xu Tueran had already told her about her plan, they still felt a little unbelievable. The two looked at each other, and Jiaojiao's father walked over, patted Xu Tuoran on the shoulder, and hummed a nursery rhyme in a low voice.
The rules set at the beginning are in effect again:
[Anyone lying on a hospital bed is considered a patient. 】
[After being comforted by others, the patient will gain peace. 】
With the double efforts of Jiaojiao's father and Fox Ornament, Xu Tuoran closed his eyes, fell into a dream with a little exhaustion.
In the dream, she was standing in the living room of a homestay. A box of board games and a flashlight are placed on the table in the living room, and the floor is covered with translucent black glue covered with tiny eyes. A few black threads hung from the ceiling. She looked up along the silk thread and saw a huge ray lying on the ceiling.
Xu Turan smiled unconsciously, walked to the table, gently picked up the flashlight, turned it on, and looked inside.
the other side.
Outside the door, the companion who was still struggling to knock on the door showed impatience, put away the countless palms that were shot red, changed a batch, and continued to shoot persistently.
Another figure came from the other end of the corridor. The companion who had finally recovered completely came over angrily, with many severed hands that were scorched black hanging from his body.
"I'm so **** off, that guy hit me so badly. Why don't you go in?"
"Can't get in. It's blocked." The accompanying creature's voice was a little depressed, "That guy is orderly."
"Hiss, trouble." The companion thought for a while, "I'm with you. Use her to see how long she consumes."
The companion nodded unhappily, intending to call another colleague over, but the moment he turned his head, he tilted his head in confusion.
"what is that?"
"what?"
"The one in the corridor." The companion said, "Is that the new contract worker?"
The companion looked at it along the direction, and tilted his head in confusion.
In the dim corridor, a shadow was approaching constantly.
—a lanky, humanoid figure that is constantly dancing.
