MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 99
【…So he just came back? 】
Half an hour later, Xu Tuoran looked at the feedback given by the Taobao store, and felt his head burst into anger.
[I remember that the content of my order was, whether it is a person or a monster, you must bring them back to me? 】
Coordinator: […uh, sorry. Things were a little more complicated then. Our employees who take orders dare not act rashly. 】
After all, it was an important place for the Tzu Chi to keep the abominable props, and after opening the door, I saw a human corpse. The employee was afraid of getting into trouble, so he didn't dare to stay longer.
However, his report is still very detailed and serious. Not only did he describe the scenes he saw in the storage room in detail, but he also mentioned the things before he arrived in the storage room—as the long night of the Hui class, he has a psychological invisibility ability similar to that of Yong Zhou, and he has a helper on his body. The hidden abomination props, the process of sneaking into the charity house, although troublesome, was smooth.
But he specifically made two points in his report. One is that when entering the Tzu Charity Institute, I found that the employees with ability users were a little bit out of their minds, and the closer they were to the storage room, the more serious the symptoms were. Another point is that when he stepped into the corridor adjacent to the storage room, he discovered the warning rune painted in the hidden place, and he was also attacked by the chaotic tendency in the corridor.
——It can be seen that the "iron nematode" was indeed prepared, and her ability in chaotic tendencies is very strong, and her level is already quite high.
Xu Tuoran didn't know whether she had reached the Chen level, but he had already figured out the possibility of beating her in the street next time if she met in the Chen level area; he checked the chat history and saw what the other party described about the situation in the storage room at that time. Scenes.
In addition to the dead ability user, there are many deactivated abominable props in the storage room. On the ground is the energy absorption and conversion rune, and finally there is only a small half of the dry tree trunk with its roots deep into the floor. There are also large patches of blood around, as well as blood-stained flowers.
The trunk looked like the remains of some abomination. And it was ripped apart.
Xu vainly closed his eyes, only to feel a tightness in his chest again.
She can probably guess the situation at that time. The chaotic "iron nematode" originally planned to make Yang Buqi degenerate into an abomination without human intervention, so as to cover up his identity. However, the employee who appeared suddenly forced her to die early, and Yang Buqi's transformation was not fully completed. But he's not human anymore...
At least he doesn't think he's human anymore. So he chose to run away at all costs before others saw him.
…No, does turning into an abomination lose IQ along with it? Can you confirm the identity of the person and then run away? And how can a broken tree run?
Xu Tuoran was speechless and worried, rubbing his temples. Then I sent a message to the other side, asking if the employee had taken pictures of the scene.
At least let her confirm what kind of color Yang Buqi is now.
The docking staff regretted that the employee did not take a photo. After finishing speaking, he seemed to be worried that Xu Tueran would be angry, so he hurriedly added another sentence, because the task was not actually completed, so Xu Tueran did not need to pay the fee. As middlemen, they will pay employees a certain amount of errand fees.
Xu Tuoran: "..."
Is it a matter of money? Do I seem to mind the appearance of a hundred or two hundred thousand?
Xu Turan only felt something running from her chest to her forehead, which made her very irritable. In the hallucination, a female ghost was lying on the ground and crawling towards her. Xu Tuoran impatiently kicked over, and the sound of chairs overturning could be heard in the space.
Xu Tuoran's thoughts were pulled back instantly by the sound. After a moment of silence, he closed his eyes restrainedly, adjusted his breathing for a while, opened his eyes again, and continued typing.
[I don't care about it beforehand. I would like to ask another question, do you have anything that can restrain your hallucinations...]
Before finishing typing, a call request suddenly popped up on the phone.
The displayed name is Pu Han. Xu Tuoran paused for breath, and immediately picked up the phone.
【Hey. 】Xu Tuoran went straight to the point, 【What's the situation now? Have you found Yang Buqi? Didn't seal him up? He was duped into an abomination, and the woman died there on purpose, she was a wireworm, afraid Yang Buqi would find out, so she purposely silenced her. Don't be fooled. 】
Pu Han: "..."
On the other end of the phone, Pu Han opened his mouth and got stuck for a moment.
After two seconds, he said slowly: "Oh, you went to the Taobao store to find someone. No wonder, I said, how do you know so much information at once..."
This blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
As Pu Han spoke, he glanced at the notebook in front of him. The notebook is full of Feifei's handwriting, which aims to guide Pu Han on how to convey to Xu Tuoran step by step the fact that "Yang Buqi has become an abomination and is regarded as a murderer", and it also involves considerable emotional comfort skills.
So far, it doesn't seem necessary. So Pu Han quickly closed the notebook, and continued with Xu Tuoran's words: "Yang Buqi has not been found yet, but we have some clues at hand. The Tzu Chi Institute is going to look for it. As for the truth of the matter, I am absolutely sure." I agree with you. But now there are two problems, one is that we can't prove this. The second is Yang Buqi...he is indeed in an abnormal state now."
The first point is actually the most troublesome. Pu Han contacted other staff members immediately after being woken up by Feifei's hammer, and tried to read what happened in that storage room. The problem is that there are anti-peeping runes inside and outside the room, and there is still chaos in the room, so he can't read anything at all.
Even he can't read and restore it, and it's even more impossible for other omniscients and props to do it. Room surveillance was also compromised, leaving no records. On the contrary, in the diary left by the deceased "Gong Xiaozhong", it is written that she observed Yang Buqi in secret because she found that Yang Buqi was acting suspiciously, until she finally prepared to follow her to the safekeeping room. very close.
Pu Han was promoted to Hui rank by strong krypton. Yang Buqi followed suit, but overturned his car and killed Gong Xiaozhong who came to observe the situation because of his depravity.
Therefore, it is difficult to prove that Yang Buqi was the one who was killed.
Although there are chaotic runes inside and outside the storage room, anyone can actually draw them. Gong Xiaozhong's body had already been tested, and only Hui-level's Yongri tendencies could be found out, so there was no confusion. It would be quite difficult for Pu Han to point the finger directly at a dead person without other evidence.
Another problem is that Pu Han can't disclose the existence of "iron nematodes" now. Firstly, the information itself has restrictions on dissemination. Only those who are related to the prophecy can see and hear the relevant information. The only two exceptions are Xu Tuoran and Pu Han himself; secondly, he is also worried that after speaking out, people will Become the next target to be knifed overnight.
After all, from the current point of view, there are more than one "iron nematodes". The so-called "death" is most likely just a change of body.
"I plan to upgrade to Chen level as soon as possible. After I get there, I should be able to restore the situation in that room, and I can also retrace the scene in public. At least this can be explained clearly." Pu Han said, "But otherwise One problem is, no matter what the truth is, Yang Buqi is indeed, um..."
"How much do you know about his current situation?" Xu Tuoran frowned and asked, "Have you captured his image?"
"Yeah. A surveillance camera caught it." Pu Han said, "It wasn't the camera in the storage room. It was outside... He must have left the storage room in some way, and then climbed over the wall and left the Charity Institute."
Xu Tuoran: "...over the wall?"
She was stunned for a moment: "Isn't he a half-broken tree, how did he climb over the wall?"
"He has a strong ability to regenerate." Pu Han said, "He has a unique ability in life tendencies, and now he grows faster. When surveillance cameras captured him, he grew all kinds of roots, and he only used a few. The roots walk on the ground. He is still tall, and he can sneak over the wall."
Perhaps because it was uncomfortable to walk like this, Yang Buqi in the video even made a detour to the gardener's room. There are some newly bought small potted plants there, and I haven't had time to change the pots. They are all made of relatively soft black plastic flower pots.
Yang Buqi just pulled out some of the plants under the gaze of the surveillance probe, inserted his roots into the soil of the flower pots, and then stepped on these plastic flower pots, carrying his The little black bag walked away with a rattling sound.
Xu Tuoran: "..."
She looked at the phantom flesh wriggling on the ceiling, and for a moment didn't know what expression to put on.
Say anxious and angry, there must be some. Say distressed, not a lot. But when Pu Han described the scene, Xu Tuoran still couldn't help but feel a bit dumbfounded.
"I understand your mood now. I was stupid when I saw it." Pu Han said understandingly. In fact, if Feifei hadn't reminded him to control his emotions at that time, he would have laughed out loud on the spot.
However, laughing is laughing, sad is also really sad.
"...Sorry." After a moment of silence, Xu Tuoran heard him say on the other end of the phone, "Use abominable props to check for iron nematodes. I came up with the idea. I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
"I promise you. Yang Buqi, I will definitely find it for you, and return it to you with the flowers and pots. As long as you don't let him harm others, you can take it wherever you like. And at most two weeks. I must rise to the Chen level and return his innocence."
Xu Tuoran: "..."
"Upgrade at your own pace. There is no rush for this kind of thing." After a few seconds of pause, she spoke calmly. Although she herself upgrades quickly, Xu Tuoran knows that there are risks in upgrading, and ordinary people may spend months or years.
"Also, to correct your two statements - first, Yang Buqi will not harm anyone, no matter what he will not."
Xu Furan's tone was firm. She didn't know why she was so sure, but she was inexplicably so convinced.
"Second, you don't need to send it back. Just share it with me if you have any clues, and I can find them myself."
She said the second sentence more firmly than the first sentence. Hearing this, Pu Han was stunned again.
After a while, he heard a serious "hmm".
Xu Turan felt a little relieved, glanced at the ceiling of the blood-streaked flesh above his head, thought for a while and said: "By the way, I just want to ask you something again."
"Do you know any runes that can be used to dissolve hallucinations? It should be more effective."
"Hallucinations? I usually take more medicine." Pu Han thought for a while, and said, "There are runes, but the one I know is not stable. The Tzu Chi Institute has recently improved a new one, which is relatively stable. I will check it later. Check it out and draw it for you."
"Okay." Xu Tuoran nodded, and made an agreement with Pu Han to send him a copy of the video of Yang Buqi, and Fang hung up the phone.
After the call ended, Xu Tuoran took the phone away from his ear, turned his gaze, and saw a faceless head like a marinated egg, poking over from behind him at some point. She was silent for a while, touched it, and confirmed that it was actually a lump of air, then moved aside with confidence, switched back to the chat interface with Taobao Store, and continued to send messages.
She wanted to ask the Taobao store just now, but it was actually the same question. Her hallucinations are too serious now, she can't help but try to suppress them.
Xu Tuoran's exclusive contact person quickly received her request. She hopes that the Taobao store can provide some runes or props to resist hallucinations, and the price is negotiable.
It happened that Xiao Jiang was doing homework in a corner of the office at this moment, and the docking staff asked her directly. With a swipe of his pen, President Xiao Jiang drew two runes on the exercise book, and asked the coordinator to take pictures of them directly to Xu Tuoran, and said while reading in English: "The effects of these two runes are not bad. Just It’s a little troublesome to use. You tell her, the first rune, the outermost ring must be completed in one go, and the power of infusion must be balanced and stable, and the second stroke must be drawn from the right...”
Before I finished explaining, I saw the docking staff sticking their heads out from behind the computer:
"That, Mr. Jiang, the boss just replied."
"She said thanks for providing it, and it was all drawn, and it worked out great. Asked how much it should be paid."
Jiang Siyu: "..."
Okay, as expected of a big boss, you can learn quickly.
She sighed secretly, looked at the cloze that she had filled in, and sighed deeply. He also heard the employee say that the boss was inquiring about buying props, so he immediately left his homework and ran over.
"What kind of props does the boss need? Also resist hallucinations? This seems a bit difficult. Oh yes, tell her that you don't need to pay for the runes..." Jiang Siyu half-spoken, his eyes fell on the chat records on the screen, and he paused.
She took a serious look at Xu Tuoran's speech, then flipped through the chat history, her face became more and more serious.
"You tell her, let her go to sleep first." She thought for a while, and said to the people next to her, "No matter what, we can talk about it after she wakes up. If she doesn't sleep, I won't talk about it."
Even through the text, she could feel that Xu Tuoran's body and spirit had been exhausted to the limit. In this state, if you don't sleep anymore, something will really happen.
The docking staff was busy typing on the keyboard. Seeing this, Xu Turan on the other end of the phone pursed his lips slightly.
"Sleep..." she murmured, falling back on the bed. This bed looked like a pile of zombies not long ago, but now because of the effect of the runes, it barely changed back to the shape of a bed, but there were a lot of dark blood stains on the sheets that didn't exist.
That rune, Xu Tuoran painted on himself. I used the marker pen that I carried with me. At the moment, the two runes are desperately shining, and I don't know how long they can last.
Indeed, it is time to rest. Xu vainly thought silently. It's useless to rush now. She has to take care of herself before she can take care of others.
However, she got tired after thinking about it, and got up from the bed again, and mended two protective runes beside the bed—she originally wanted to protect the entire room. She was a little worried that Jiang Lin would come back suddenly. However, Xu Turan thought again, what if Yang Buqi came to find her?
Although she also knew that this was unrealistic and not like something Yang Buqi would do, she still narrowed down the protection range, leaving room for Yang Buqi to enter the house to hide.
Just when Pu Han sent over his "unstable original rune", Xu Turan drew one on the wall.
After doing all this, she lay back on the bed again, forced herself to calm down, and closed her eyes.
The body and mind that had been exhausted to the limit almost fell asleep after relaxing. However, even after falling asleep, Xu Turan still felt very uncomfortable, unable to enter a deep sleep, and was always in a state of half-dream and half-awake, with a sudden pain coming from the depths of his head, as if he was hiding a jumping frog.
Should I take a pill first? She vaguely thought of taking a pill from Yang Buqi to relieve the pain.
But after thinking about it, I think it shouldn't be. There is not much left in her bottle of medicine—in the past, Yang Buqi would always look for opportunities to help her replenish the bottle, but in the future, it is hard to say whether there will be any refills.
Then she remembered what Yang Buqi said to her last. He told himself to pay attention and not get hurt again.
Xu Turan understood what he was hiding. If she gets hurt again, there may be no one to help her heal.
...listen to your bullshit.
Xu Turan thought unhappily, forcing himself to fall into a deeper sleep amidst the sudden headache.
— After an unknown amount of time, the lingering throbbing pain suddenly disappeared.
The body suddenly becomes extremely relaxed and comfortable. Xu Tuoran only felt that she was sinking slowly, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already in the "Palace of Order".
The white rabbit was snuggling at her feet. Seeing it shrinking into a ball and trembling slightly, Xu Turan bent over to hug it with a heartbeat. The rabbit who always liked to rub against her the most jumped forward a few steps, avoiding her palm, and only stopped not far away, signaling Xu Tuoran to follow with his eyes.
...I don't know if it was affected by hallucinations, Xu Tuoran always felt that the rabbit looked a little awkward. It took a few steps to realize that the way it walked had changed.
In the past, the little white rabbits always jumped up and down, but today's rabbits walk forward alternately in pairs. It doesn't look like a rabbit, but it looks like something that tries to imitate a rabbit but looks weird.
And it's going very slowly today. stop-and-go. He even asked Xu Tuoran to stop and wait for it from time to time. After walking for a long time, they finally took Xu Tuoran through another door and arrived at the Hui-level area.
The rabbit slammed down on the ground, and its two long ears fell down limply. Xu Tuoran stretched out his hand again, and it didn't even have the strength to hide, allowing Xu Tuoran's hand to touch its head.
The moment she covered it with her palm, there was a grunt, and the round head of the rabbit fell to the ground. A bright red rose bloomed on the broken neck. Xu Tuoran frowned, looked down at his hands, and saw a few grains of wet soil on his palms.
His heart skipped a beat for some reason, and Xu Tuoran suddenly opened his eyes.
It was dark in front of his eyes, and his arms exposed outside the quilt felt cool. She turned on the light conveniently. The eye-catching room is extremely normal, soft beds, and the ceiling is white and clean.
She raised her hand to look at her watch, and was surprised to find that she had slept for more than ten hours, and the runes painted on her arms were almost dark.
As if realizing something, she sat up at once. I saw that on the wall in front of me, at some point, there were a few more rune patterns to resist hallucinations, but they were different from the one she originally painted.
The phone just happened to be next to the pillow. Xu Tueran picked it up and found that Pu Han had already sent another version of the improved rune and the video. The pattern painted on the wall is exactly the same as the improved version of the runes he sent over from the Charity House.
Looking closely at the floor, there were some traces of soil, some distance away from the bed.
She didn't draw the curtains before going to bed, but at this moment, the windows were completely covered by the curtains. A breeze blew in through the half-closed windows, blowing the curtains into a full billow.
Xu Tuoran's heart suddenly beat a little faster. She walked to the window, took a deep breath, and opened the curtains.
I saw a row of medicine bottles neatly arranged on the window sill.
It is exactly the same as the one Yang Buqi gave her in the past.
