MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 105

…Can.

Now things get interesting.

In the deep and endless camphor forest, Xu Tueran stood on the gravel road and slowly put away the map book in his hand.

Starting from "forgotten name", she just went through her past quickly in her mind, and finally came to an interesting conclusion.

It wasn't just the name that she had forgotten.

Name, identity, why she came here, how she came here, where she was planning to go, who was around... She doesn't remember all of them.

All she remembers is that she is a tourist. I came to the park to play. The place where I am now is the "camphor forest", that's all.

"So that's it, is this the so-called 'lost personal belongings'..." Xu Tuoran murmured, "That means, there may be 'bugs' on me?"

At least that's what the guidebook says. Only people who carry bugs, or who may be infested by bugs, will lose personal items. After being cleaned up, you can pick up the items from the staff and leave here.

Xu Turan instinctively felt that the "bug" here should mean something, but he still touched it all over his body first. Nothing disgusting to touch, but a row of marks drawn with a marker pen on the arm.

They are all peculiar patterns, exquisite combinations of various geometric figures. Xu Tuoran subconsciously rubbed her hands twice, and after rubbing, she realized that she should probably keep them, so she traced them with a marker pen again—she could feel that her movements were very skilled. The new pattern drawn is also very close to the original picture. From this point of view, these things should be drawn by herself.

The phone and ID are still there. But the phone could no longer be turned on, and all the information on the certificate became extremely blurred, as if covered with a layer of mosaic. Xu Tuoran pursed his lips, stuffed these small items back into his pocket, and took off his backpack. When I opened it, I was slightly surprised in my heart.

I saw that in the bag, apart from some cakes and mineral water, there were only a few boxes.

The boxes were all silver, made of metal, and of different sizes. Xu Turan opened one of them and found that there was still a box inside the box. When fully opened, there is a silver pen inside.

The stylus had a lot of buttons, a small LCD screen, and a sound-generating device. It looked like some kind of machine. Xu Tueran got up to observe for a while, tried to press it, and a loud voice came from inside——

"You are always too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted... Crying alone until dawn..."

The melody is familiar and the sound quality is terrible. And I don't know why, it's obviously a slow song, but Xu Turan somehow heard a bit of schadenfreude from it.

She calmly pressed the close button, put it back intact, and opened two other boxes—there were a cracked and incomplete fox ornament inside, and a lump of mud.

The fox decoration is very beautiful, but it looks very miserable. The mud clods were for some unknown purpose, and there was a pair of plastic gloves stuffed in the same box. Xu Tuoran reckoned that this meant that he couldn't touch it directly with his hands, so he put on his gloves, took out the mud and studied it for a while, tearing and tearing to confirm that there were no small notes hidden inside, before giving up.

…Just for some reason, **** things drip from the mud that is torn apart. The fox ornament next to it seemed to be in vibration mode, shaking non-stop. Xu Tuoran reached out to grab it, but the moment his fingers touched it, the thing shook even more violently, and his eyes started flying around.

Yo, this little thing is quite unique.

Xu Tueran picked up the ornament and looked at it for a while, then silently dismissed the idea of ​​smashing it to find clues, and stuffed them back into the box, leaving only the gloves on his hands.

The last box was opened, and inside was a red fountain pen with a crooked cap. Xu Tuoran picked it up, opened the cap and took a look. The red ink was dripping on the pen tip of the other party, and he blew out an ink bubble to her very blankly:

[? 】

Xu Tuoran: ...?

Well, it looks like a weird thing too.

She calmly put the pen back in the box. He began to think about what kind of a thing he was in the past, to carry so many messy things along with him.

- I really don't want to pick it.

After thinking for a moment, I didn't think of a reason. Xu Tuoran simply put it badly - no matter what his origin is, anyway, now I feel that I am very good, so I must be very good. That's it.

Once a solid foundation of self-knowledge has been laid, then the next thing is clear—to get to the essence of the place.

Of course, you also have to think about how to escape. But she felt that since you have come, if your purpose is to leave, it would be too boring. As a human being, you still need to find some excitement.

So Xu Tuoran walked along the stamped safe gravel road for a while, and suddenly turned his feet.

She tentatively walked out of the gravel road.

The first foot down, nothing happened. Xu Tuoran immediately followed with the other foot, and the moment both feet left the gravel road, an inexplicable voice sounded in his mind:

[Congratulations, you have gained 200 mouth points. 】

Xu Tuoran: ...?

what value?

She froze for a moment, walked back to the gravel road, and tried to walk out again. The voice never sounded again.

Xu Tuoran was puzzled, so he stopped trying and walked deep into the forest again. His feet stepped on the camphor leaves all over the ground, making a rustling sound.

And when the gravel road was completely blocked by the trees behind him, his eyes suddenly darkened. Within the range of sight, a strange red light was suddenly enveloped. Almost at the same time, that mysterious voice sounded again:

[Congratulations, you have obtained 500 oral points. 】

Xu Tuoran: "..."

So what exactly does this mean? Dangerous value?

She turned her head and glanced back, pursed her lips slightly, and instead of stopping, she continued to walk forward.

The camphor forest is far bigger than she imagined, no matter which direction you look, you can't see the bottom at a glance. Xu Tuoran took out the map again, failed to find out the direction, but remembered another detail.

On that map, there are three large characters marked, "Picking up area".

These three words correspond to the entire forest area... Pick up? Pick up what?

Xu vainly lowered his head thoughtfully. In that layer of strange red light, the fallen leaves on the ground seemed to be covered with a filter, showing a dull dark color—and in the dark color of this place, Xu Turan suddenly noticed a flash of light.

Hidden under the leaves, the glint looked like broken glass at first glance. Xu Turan stepped forward, carefully flipped through the fallen leaves a few times with his hands, and dug out the flash of light.

...it was a brooch.

The leaf-shaped brooch was as big as her palm, and the needle on the back was quite thick and long. If Xu Tuoran hadn't been wearing that pair of plastic gloves, he might have been accidentally scratched.

On the front of the brooch, there is a line of handwritten words: [I want money]

Xu Tuoran: "?"

She turned the brooch over and over for a while, but couldn't see any more information, so she stuffed it into her pocket. After walking forward for a while, I found another one under the fallen leaves. This time, the words written on it were: [I am very timid. 】

Going forward, there are more, and the content written on the brooch is varied:

[I don't want to lose weight. 】

[I'm afraid of ghosts. 】

[I want to marry Qian Xiaotian. 】

[I hate Du Jianhua. 】

【I am not smart. 】

[I am weak and helpless. 】

…

All kinds of brooches, I picked up a lot in the blink of an eye.

Xu Tuoran couldn't put it in his pocket, so he could only turn the backpack to his chest, unzip the zipper, stuff it inside and continue walking. As he was walking, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

It was a tall man in overalls with yellow hair. New black hair had grown on the top of his head, so that his hair looked black on top and yellow on the bottom, like pudding.

The man turned to Xu Tuoran, bowed his waist and searched carefully on the ground. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he straightened up, revealing a sallow and tired face.

"Uh... hello?" Xu Tuoran subconsciously greeted him, and unconsciously glanced at the other person, his eyes suddenly stopped.

—I saw a lot of brooches hanging densely on the man's chest. At a glance, there are a lot of [I am a good person], [I am a human], [I am normal], [My family is harmonious]...

Many of them are repetitive.

Xu Tuoran: "..."

Are these brooches really meant to be worn?

Xu Tueran couldn't help being stunned for a moment. On the other side, the man seemed to have finally come to his senses. He looked behind her nervously and exhaled lightly.

"Hello, you can call me 'Du Jianhua'." He introduced himself rather awkwardly, "You, that, you just, just came in...?"

"Yeah." Xu Tuoran admitted generously, "But I don't have a name right now. Wait until I see my number..."

"No, it's okay. It's not important." The man hurriedly said, pointing to his brooch, "I also picked up my name. I'm still looking for my original name."

After a pause, he raised his hand and pointed to the right: "The road is over there. You go there and wait. Wait for those black bears to come over, um... clean you up, and you can go. You don't have to stay here. "

"What about you?" Xu Tuoran tilted his head, "Haven't they cleaned you up yet?"

man:"…"

There was a wry smile on his face, and he shook his head slightly: "I don't know. I think I'm clean. But they don't. They think I haven't met the standard yet."

Xu Tuoran: "Standard?"

"It is completely clean and harmless... They always say that I may be parasitized by bugs. I don't know what this means, and I can't ask clearly."

The man shrugged: "So I can only try to find it myself. I always have a hunch that if I can find what belongs to me, I can leave."

"..." Xu Tuoran glanced at the large brooch on his chest, and his heart suddenly moved, "How long have you been here?"

"I don't know. It may be just a few days, or it may be several years..." The man scratched his hair, "Anyway, I am here when I open my eyes. When people are here, it is easy to forget things and get confused."

"So..." Xu Tuoran nodded thoughtfully, then asked after thinking, "Then can you tell me what's going on with these brooches you're wearing?"

"Oh, these." The man touched the brooch in front of him, and smiled embarrassedly, "These are the brooches I found that match me. I don't know which ones belong to me, so I will wear them all first." up."

"Compatible?" Xu Tuoran became interested, "What does this mean?"

"The content on this brooch is consistent with your original characteristics. It may not come from you, but it fits with you." The man explained with a good temper, "There are also some brooches, which are very unique and only belong to you. .”

"Whether it's a matching brooch or an exclusive brooch, you can wear it. After wearing it, it will evoke your relevant characteristics, and it will also remind you of some past events."

After he finished speaking, he noticed the plastic glove on Xu Tuoran's hand, and said, "If you want to find the correct brooch, you have to take it off your hand. It can't be detected through gloves."

Xu Tuoran: "Test?"

"Yes, inspection. That is... when you touch it directly with your hands, the brooch that doesn't suit you will disappear, and the words on it will disappear. It's useless to wear such a brooch."

Xu Tuoran: "..."

"Excuse me, let me ask another question." Xu Tuoran thought about his words, "Suppose I was wearing gloves and picked up a brooch. The brooch actually doesn't fit me, but because I wear gloves, so It still has writing on it."

"Then suppose I wear this kind of brooch that doesn't suit me but shows my name on my body, what will happen?"

man:"…"

"I...I don't know." He was obviously taken aback, "And what's the point of you doing such a thing?"

"Maybe not." Xu Tuoran's eyes wandered for a moment, "Maybe there is."

The man shook his head, as if he thought her question was too ridiculous. At this moment, Xu Tuoran noticed another thing:

At the man's neckline, a small half of the back of the brooch was exposed.

In other words, he pinned a brooch on the inside of his clothes instead.

…why? He clearly still has a lot of room on his clothes...

Doubts floated in Xu Tueran's mind, but the next second, his attention was attracted by a sudden sound—

The voice came from behind her, and it sounded dull and rhythmic, approaching from far to near.

And at the same time, the expression of the man opposite her changed instantly.

"Sorry, I have to leave quickly." He subconsciously covered his neckline, sped up his speech, turned around and was about to leave, hesitated for a moment, then turned his face away again.

"Listen, little sister. I don't know what kind of person you are. Anyway, you remember, if those black bears trust you and let you go. That's fine. But if they don't trust you, then you must not Trust them. After finding the key brooch, be sure to hide it, and be careful not to be snatched by them!"

After speaking, he turned around and ran, and the figure quickly disappeared into the depths of the woods.

On the other side, the footsteps behind Xu Tuoran were getting closer.

Not knowing the details of the other party, Xu Tuoran didn't run away in a hurry. Instead, he turned his head and looked back with interest.

I saw a figure wearing a bulky black bear coat gradually approaching, his thick five fingers tightened, and he was holding a big red bag tightly.

I don't know what is in the bag, and it is poking and poking. Xu Turan looked at the bag curiously, and the **** bear had already stopped in front of her.

It tilted its head, and Xu Tuoran could feel gazes on him even though there were no eye holes on the headgear.

After a while, the black bear suddenly stretched out a hand towards her.

"Hi, I'm the staff here." A strange voice sounded from under the hood, "There are bugs in your backpack. Please give them to me, and we will deal with them for you."

Xu Tuoran: "..."

insect.

She thought of the weird things she found before, and suddenly realized. So the so-called "bugs" refer to those things?

"Are you sure?" She thought for a while, and asked intentionally, "But in my bag, there should be only things I bring."

"Yes, you brought bugs from outside." The black bear said firmly, "They will lie to you. Bewitch you. It doesn't matter, just leave it to us."

Xu Tuoran: "If I hand it over, will you take me away?"

But the black bear didn't answer the question, and just repeated stubbornly: "Please give us the bug. We will handle it for you."

At the same time, a voice sounded in Xu Tuoran's consciousness: [Congratulations, you have gained 200 speech points! 】

Xu Tuoran: "..."

It was this voice again.

Xu vainly's heart sank slightly. She didn't know how the notification sound came from, but at present, it seems that this should be something similar to "dangerous value"...

Does it mean that the thing in front of her cannot be trusted?

"What's your reason for saying that? What's the basis for your judgment?" She thought for a while, and asked solemnly, "I don't have any memory at all now, and the information is seriously missing. That's either what you say or what you say? You're too bullying. "

The black bear didn't seem to expect her to react like this, and was obviously stunned for a moment. The bulky head is tilted to the side—it makes sense, but from the outside, it still looks a little ugly.

Xu Tuoran was unmoved, and began to reason with it seriously: "The things in my bag are packed and belong to me. Whether there is any harm, I prefer to judge by myself. I want to cooperate It’s okay for you to work. Now return my memory—that is, the personal lost item. Let me restore the ability to discriminate first, and then verify what you said. If what you said is true, then I’m sure Cooperate."

Black Bear: "..."

"On the other hand, if you insist on making judgments without information, you must obey me. It's hard for me not to think that you have ghosts in your hearts. In this case, I'm definitely not willing to cooperate, you know me mean?"

Black Bear: "..."

Its head lifted slowly, and then tilted to the other side.

Xu Tuoran was not in a hurry, he just folded his arms and waited for it to reply. The **** bear stayed there for a while, and finally spoke again:

"You don't need to judge."

"We'll judge for you."

"We kill bugs."

"If you refuse to cooperate, we can only consider you as one of the dangers."

It stretched out its hand towards Xu Tuoran again: "Bug, give it to me."

The moment the voice fell, a strong aura suddenly erupted from its body. Xu Tuoran frowned slightly, and a strange voice sounded in his mind again:

[Congratulations, you have obtained 500 mouth points! 】

Xu Tuoran: "..."

So, what kind of mouth value is this, it really means danger value.

After thinking for a while, she reached into her bag, and casually took out a silver box from it.

The box was opened, and what lay inside was the red pen. Xu Tuoran's eyes turned back and forth between the red pen and the black bear opposite, as if he was really thinking about the feasibility of handing over the pen.

The red pen shrunk in the box panicked instantly. With a strong breath, facing the terrifying gaze from outside, he frantically spit bubbles towards Xu Turan:

【You can't sell me! I was bought by you for 800,000 yuan, you will lose blood if you sell me! 】

Xu Turan: ...

tease me? Am I stupid for spending 800,000 yuan on such a **** thing?

She glanced at the pen angrily, and then looked at the **** bear that was still stubbornly stretching out its palm towards her—she took the initiative to take out the red pen, which obviously appeased him. wait there.

Xu Tuoran exhaled lightly, looked into the box with lowered eyes, and said in a low voice, "...was I in a good temper before I lost my memory?"

Pen Fairy's Pen:…

It couldn't figure out for a while whether Xu Tuoran was asking him or muttering to himself, and after a pause, it still gave an answer: [From my point of view, is it not particularly good. 】

"I guess so." Xu Tuoran nodded without any surprise, and in the next second, he closed the box neatly, ignoring the crazy tremors coming from inside the box, and calmly handed it forward.

Then, at the moment when the **** bear was about to reach out to take it, he swung it upwards, and the silver box in his hand drew a sharp arc in the air, and smashed it **** the black bear's head!

The black bear was caught off guard, and was hit by the silver box. Immediately there was a sizzling sound where it came into contact with the surface of the box. Xu Turan took the opportunity to kick up another kick, but his foot seemed to be stuck in the mud, and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

The black bear just shook, but was not kicked down. The whole person paused in place for two seconds. After a while, I saw the headgear that had been knocked to one side slowly turned, and once again aimed the eyes at Xu Tuoran.

Obviously those eyes are dead. However, Xu Turan could clearly see that the two dark clumps were lit up with a dark red light.

With the flickering red light, the black ones get darker. The moment they looked at each other, there seemed to be something dark spreading from it, like a whisper from the depths of a nightmare, just touching it could arouse the deepest fear in people's hearts.

At the same time, the black bear's weird voice sounded again, the voice was lower than before, and the voice was mixed with the sound of hissing, which sounded extremely harsh: "Confirm, mark as a dangerous person... It has been seriously polluted by visual inspection, you can't..."

Before he finished speaking, another blow came down from the side.

It's still the same silver box.

Xu Tueran didn't finish smashing it, and distanced himself from the black bear a little, holding the flat silver box in both hands, and threw another chaotic attack, with a steady expression and a dazed expression—

She can probably feel that the guy in front of her should have released something, some kind of mental attack just for a moment...

It's just that for some reason, her feelings about it seem to only stay at "can feel".

So what exactly is it trying to do?

Xu Turan didn't understand, but it didn't prevent her from continuing to beat people. In particular, this box is obviously very useful, and the burn marks left by smashing it are so obvious that there is no need to waste it.

Xu Tuoran kept a straight face and kept moving his hands. And as she moved, the voice in her mind sounded again and again:

[Congratulations, you have obtained 500 mouth points! 】

[Congratulations, you have obtained 500 mouth points! 】

[Congratulations, you have obtained 500 mouth points! 】

【congratulations-】

Congratulations!

Xu Tueran was disturbed by the noise, and when he didn't pay attention, he was caught in the gap by the black bear and suddenly overturned—the black bear was so powerful that he threw Xu Tueran to the ground, and Xu Tueran only felt a pain in his arm , looked up, and found that many things in the bag had been thrown out, scattered beside him.

Turning his head again, seeing the **** bear that was approaching, Xu Turan's heart skipped a beat, and immediately grabbed one of the scattered objects beside him with sharp eyes, and stabbed heavily at the **** bear's outstretched palm!

With a snort, the pointed needle of the brooch plunged into the **** bear's palm. The **** bear seemed dazed for a moment, and clumsily raised his palm to try to take it off. Xu Tuoran took the opportunity to stab it twice, and at the same time picked up the silver box again, jumped up and patted the black bear.

The black bear was patted back a few steps, and the brooches hanging on the palms and foreheads dangled, each revealing clear characters:

【I am not smart. 】

[I'm very timid. 】

[I am weak and helpless. 】

The original ferocious aura seemed to have weakened in an instant, the **** bear raised its arms, and Xu Tueran couldn't help but back away. The silver box, which could only bring burn marks, suddenly doubled the damage, and even the thick shell was melted a little. The black bear shook it twice, and suddenly stepped back with its paws, holding its head in both hands, and staggered to the ground. run back.

The distance between the two sides was pulled away, and Xu Turan noticed that the black bear suddenly changed color at some point—the original black shell began to fade rapidly, but after a while, it faded to gray and white in different shades.

Xu Tuoran: "...?"

No, she tried to **** it a few times. Why is it still faded?

Xu Tuoran looked baffled, and the constantly flapping red bag suddenly caught her attention—that bag was just left behind by the black bear, and it left in such a hurry that it even forgot to take it.

Xu Tuoran panted heavily, didn't bother to care about it, and went to pack his own pile of things first. Looking back, the bag was still moving. After a little thought, he went forward and opened it.

As soon as the bag was opened, a small shadow jumped out immediately. Xu vainly stepped back instinctively, took a closer look, and couldn't help being startled.

"What kind of weird thing is this..."

What she saw in front of her was clearly a flower.

A pink flower with some blood on the edges of the petals. Below the flower disc are complete flower branches and roots... There are small green leaves growing on both sides of the flower branches.

The flower uses the roots as its feet, and as soon as it jumped out of the red bag, it immediately ran around with small steps. He walked around Xu Tuoran several times like a headless fly, and suddenly seemed to realize something, turned around suddenly, and "looked" in the direction where Xu Tuoran was.

——Xu Turan didn't know if she was thinking too much, she always felt that the little pink flower seemed to be happier suddenly, and the flowers on her head bloomed even bigger.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the little pink flower bouncing towards Xu Tuoran, with two leaves grabbing her clothes and sticking to her body actively.

Xu Tuoran: "..."

"Is there such a thing as a body-to-body promise for things like yours?" She muttered to herself and stood up from the ground. The little pink flower backed away a little because of her movements, and soon stuck to it again, circled around Xu Tuoran's feet twice, and then used the leaf to pull her trousers, and at the same time lifted the other leaf, pointing to another one. direction.

It happened that Xu Tuoran opened the box containing the pen of the Bixian, wanting to see if this guy was dead. Seeing this, I couldn't help asking: "What the **** is this guy trying to do?"

[I want to guide you. 】The brush of the pen fairy spits bubbles into the air dizzily,【Maybe he wants to take you to find his master. 】

What is the other adult? Could it be an oversized version of the rose?

Xu Tuoran pursed her lips, lifted the pink flower that had just reached her calf with two fingers, and walked forward with the silver box containing the pen of the pen fairy in the other hand.

"Let me tell you first, I don't have the intention to find the Super Big Rose Mianji. You can either go by yourself or follow me." She said to the pink flower she was carrying with a straight face, and then turned to the pen fairy on the other side, " And you. You look very talkative, don’t you, come on, let’s have a good chat.”

"Tell me first, you 'bugs'—what the **** are they?"
