MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 118 (Minor revisions to Chapter 1)

Xu Turan could tell that the wooden man opposite was really at a loss.

But just like it didn't understand the "upgrade route", Xu Tuoran also didn't understand what it said - relying on the scattered memories she recovered, she probably understood what the other party meant by "upgrade". But why act like she stole some experience booster pack that shouldn't be stole?

On the other side, the wooden man seemed to be still immersed in endless confusion, with an erratic tone:

"Why is this so?"

"Was it arranged by the thing that guides you? Is it broken?"

"Will that kind of thing go bad? It's strange. Why don't you just eat it."

Xu Tuoran: "..."

Why is this topic getting more and more restricted?

After pondering for a while, she spoke cautiously: "I can't explain this to you—because my memory is not with me at all."

Blockhead:"…"

Wooden man: "Ah."

"You lost it too. The brooch."

"That's right, that's the one." Xu Tuoran nodded immediately, "If you want to communicate with me in depth, at least return my memory to me first."

When the wooden man heard the words, he fell silent again. After a while, I saw its huge head slowly turned 180 degrees on the spot—the original position of the mouth was turned upwards, which looked like deep wrinkles.

"Brooch, right, deep." It whispered, "They should find it again."

"Wait, go to the innermost part."

"They?" Xu Tuoran was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, everything around him suddenly shook—and at the same time as the shaking, there was a faint voice floating from a distance.

"Are you okay? Sister? Big sister?"

"Why are you still awake?"

"Should I move her out of this ghost place first..."

The sound is getting closer and clearer. Xu Tuoran was startled, opened his eyes, and found that he was reclining in the arms of the woman in the tea room, surrounded by a circle of people.

Fang Xiaoke, Li Yun. Yang Buqi was also standing beside him, and the little pink flower was lying on top of his head, shaking its petals and looking down.

Xu Turan: ...

She looked around again, only to see that the huge blood-colored amber was still below, and the huge wooden figure like a house was in front of it. The difference is that the wooden man in front of him looks like a dead thing, only the mechanical arm that comes with it is running non-stop for a moment, whipping him.

Xu Tuoran probably guessed what was going on: "Did I pass out just now?"

"Almost." The woman in the tea room helped her to stand up, "When we came over, we saw Li Yun lying on the ground, please tell us not to move, and rush up to help Li Yun yourself. After that, another white bear ran away, and we hurried to stop it. By the time you reacted, you were already standing there motionless."

Li Yun nodded beside him, and added: "You became strange after seeing that thing. Did you get tricked by it?"

"That thing" naturally refers to the huge wooden man. Now Xu Tuoran fully understands—it is estimated that after she met the wooden man's eyes, she was temporarily pulled out of consciousness. She thought it was someone else who fell asleep, but in the eyes of others, it was her who really lost consciousness.

Xu Turan nodded knowingly, raised his hand and rubbed his eye sockets, then scanned around again, suddenly felt something was wrong.

Surrounding her at the moment are the teahouse lady, Li Yun, Fang Xiaoke and Yang Buqi. Outside the crowd, the new girl in overalls stood not far away, as if she had nothing to do with herself.

As for Pudding Head and Qiao Feng, they were completely missing.

Xu Tuoran frowned slightly, and was about to ask carefully, when he suddenly saw two familiar figures running out of the tunnel not far away.

"I found it, it's inside!" Puddinghead said with uncontainable excitement, "There is a dirt bag in the tunnel on this side, and a brooch is hidden inside!"

All the people present were delighted after hearing this. Xu Tuoran rubbed his forehead, and suddenly felt that he couldn't keep up: "Inside the tunnel? Did they go in to investigate just now? How did they get in?"

She clearly remembered that Li Yun said that she wanted to follow the white bear into the tunnel, but was ejected.

Seeming to see her confusion, Li Yun hurriedly said: "The tunnel on the left that I wanted to follow before. I really can't get in there. But for some reason, they can go in by going to the right."

…right.

Right, deep.

The words said by the giant wooden man suddenly sounded in his mind, Xu Turan lowered his eyes thoughtfully, and suddenly remembered another sentence it said—

"They should find it again."

Again—it was hard for Xu Tuoran not to notice this word. Why is it "again"?

Before she could figure it out, Pudding Head and Qiao Feng, who had gone out to explore the way, had already walked over. According to their description, although the tunnel is a bit scary, there is no other danger. The brooches they found were buried in separate burrows. Qiao Feng has taken the lead in finding the one that belongs to him—the brooch with "Qiao Feng" written on his chest has been taken off, and a brooch with "Feng Qiao" written on it has been replaced. It seems that this should be his real name.

But even if he remembered the name, his memory was still incomplete. Thinking about it, I have to rely on other brooches to piece it together.

"There are a lot of bulges inside, and I have to dig them out one by one." Pudding said, "It's quite troublesome."

The implication is that it is difficult to complete this matter quickly with only one or two people. In addition, the two of them had verified that there was no danger, so everyone led each other to the tunnel on the right side of the wooden man.

There is a large piece of blood-colored amber under their feet, and the inside of the tunnel is soft red soil. There were no fallen leaves along the way, and I don't know if it was because of this, the situation of people being separated did not happen again.

One second before he was about to step into the tunnel, Xu Tuoran subconsciously looked up at the wooden man above him. I saw the other party's head with fuzzy facial features hanging above, motionless, as if he was completely unaware of what happened here.

…or did it find out, and it just had no intention of interfering temporarily?

What is this thing, why do you know yourself? What does it refer to as the "thing responsible for guiding"?

A question mark floated in Xu Turan's heart. Hearing the call from the front, he hurriedly responded, and walked in quickly with the stone spear in hand.

As the puddingheads said, this tunnel is very deep and quite dark.

The road ahead was almost invisible, thanks to the woman in the tea room with a flashlight. Even so, everyone can only walk hand in hand with each other. After going nearly a thousand meters deep, they saw a layer of flowing red light appearing in the tunnel—through that layer of dim light, they were finally able to see the ground clearly. Sure enough, there were quite a few small drums protruding there.

Feng Qiao demonstrated to others how he dug the brooch with a stone spear. According to him, it would hurt to touch the red mud directly with his hands, and it is best to use tools. After digging open, you will see a puddle of clear water inside. There is a high probability that there will be a brooch at the bottom of the water.

While speaking, he had successfully dug another hole in front of everyone. Sure enough, there was a brooch with the word "口口" lying in the clear water in the pit. He tried to fish it out with his hands, but the thing looked like a moon in the water, it would shatter when he touched it, and he couldn't get it out at all.

"It seems that this thing is not mine." Feng Qiao came to a conclusion and signaled others to try it. Xu Tuoran happened to be relatively close, so he also tried to fish it out. I can't feel anything except the cold water on my fingertips.

Xu Tuoran's attempt failed, and he immediately backed away consciously. Give up the position to the next person. The rest of the people quickly formed a circle around the pit dug by Feng Qiao, and some walked aside with their stone spears and began to throw the pit. Yang Buqi did not know when he stood beside Xu Tuoran, and gave an honest evaluation: "This scene is like digging bamboo shoots for team building."

Xu Tuoran was amused, and glanced at him: "Aren't you going to dig?"

"No hurry, I want to observe again." Yang Buqi said, "I don't want to look for memories in front of them. I am different from them."

Xu Turan glanced thoughtfully at the trunk of his lower body, pondered for a while, and pulled his arm: "Come with me if you're not in a hurry."

Yang Buqi: "?"

He obediently followed Xu Tuoran to go deeper, and after walking a certain distance, he said, "Why?"

"I talked to that big log when I was unconscious just now." Xu Tuoran whispered, "It asked me to go to the innermost..."

"Innermost?" Yang Buqi frowned, "Do you really believe it?"

"It's hard to say. I don't think it has any malice towards me." Xu Tuoran continued to walk in, and said, "And according to what it means, it doesn't seem to care much about us breaking into this place. And this is not the first time once…"

Otherwise the guy wouldn't say "again".

"Perhaps someone has found this place before." Yang Buqi mused, "For example, the person who hid the clues in the bug museum."

If you can make good use of the opportunity of the collective migration of white bears, it is not impossible to get in. What's more, there is no black bear patrolling here.

It's just that, even if someone came over before, most of them were alone. It is impossible to directly charter a small train to pull a group of people like Xu Tuoran. And if there is only one person, it must be quite difficult to face the soil bag with the brooch buried in it.

"Indeed. You need tools, and you need to ensure that what you dig up is your own. Otherwise, it will be in vain." Xu Tuoran nodded, "And since the white bear 'suicide' took the tunnel on the left, the transformed black bear may just happen to be Come out from the right. With such a time difference, it is very likely that the people who came over will be caught by the transformed black bear before they can find everything..."

Then she was stripped into a blank sheet of paper again, forgotten about everything, and thrown into the woods to start over.

Thinking about it this way, this mechanism is really cruel enough.

As Xu Turan spoke, he frowned slightly. Yang Buqi next to him suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"...Remove the 'maybe'." He paused for a moment, then whispered, "It seems that you are right."

"?" Xu Turan raised his eyes puzzled, and followed Yang Buqi's gaze to look forward, and saw a few **** bears in front of them with their backs facing them, squatting on the ground not knowing what to do.

It's also Yang Buqi who has a good look. It's so black, it's so black, you can't find it if you don't look carefully... Xu Tueran raised his eyebrows slightly, and walked forward with a stone spear in his hand. Those black bears turned around as if they were alarmed, but they didn't Overreacting, turning around and continuing to do their own thing - after a few seconds, they stood up one after another, pushing each other away.

It was only then that Xu Tuoran realized what they were doing just now - he saw a row of dug up small dirt bags in front of the place where the black bear was squatting.

Every pit is sparkling, and a brooch with illegible writing lies quietly at the bottom of the water. Xu Tuoran took off half of the gloves, tried to reach out, and successfully fished out one from it. The moment he touched it, he felt a familiar warm current. Take a closer look, and there are three words on it.

【Xu Turan】

It turns out that co-authoring opened the back door for me.

Xu Tuoran seemed to smile, but the doubts in his heart became more and more serious. She pinned the brooch on her chest, and the turbulent memories flooded into her mind in an instant—

come down. wake. new life. Golden incense tree. Charity House. Big A...

The memories of a lifetime flashed through my mind like a horse watching flowers, but after careful study, there was still a considerable gap. Xu Tuoran pursed his lips, and picked up the second brooch.

【Those who can】

natural disaster. order. confusion. confusing. unnaturally sane...

The corresponding content is more clearly presented in the mind. Xu Tuoran tried to move his fingers, and the black crystals disappeared on the cave wall, leaving deep scorched marks.

The third piece - [death value].

system. Vicious female supporting role. Add skills...

Xu Tuoran quickly digested everything he remembered again, and suddenly a mechanical reminder sounded in his consciousness, one after another——

[Congratulations, you currently hold more than 50,000 death points. Unlock the reward function - the number of walking steps X10000. 】

[Congratulations, you currently hold more than 55,000 death points. Unlock the bonus function - 100% chance to log in once in the dream space. 】

[Congratulations, you currently hold more than 60,000 death points. Unlock the bonus function—natural disaster/beast/long night/prediction skill supplement package X2 [only for Chen level and above, and one tendency can only be used once]. 】

Xu Tuoran: "..."

Good guy.

She now feels like an old player who suddenly returned to the pit after a long retreat. When she opened her mailbox, it was full of surprises.

—Although after recovering this part of the memory, there are quite a lot of questions that immediately pop up in my mind. For example, the relationship between the so-called "guide" and the system, such as the messy rewards that the death value system almost gave when it was blocked. Another example is the subtle description of "Ten-level and above"...

But at least for now, Xu Tuoran chooses to embrace the joy of harvest.

This place is so good, I will come again next time!

Of course, while embracing happiness, she did not forget to pay attention to Yang Buqi who was standing beside her.

"...A friendly reminder. A certain confession brooch of the same style, I have already saved up to ten in a row."

Hearing the sound of the flowerpot moving next to her, she calmly put on her gloves, grabbed a handful of brooches from her backpack, and spoke leisurely. While talking, he flicked around, and saw that all the "koukoukou" were replaced with the same name.

"If you dare to run again now, I'll hang all these brooches outside."

Xu Tueran finished the second half of the sentence unhurriedly, and Yang Buqi, who was about to leave secretly, stopped immediately.

Buried in the flower pot, the roots couldn't help curling up. He was silent for a while, then turned his head to look at Xu Tuoran, just as he opened his mouth to say something, two brooches suddenly fell off his body. He quickly glanced at the ground and covered his eyes so hard to look straight.

Xu Tueran gave him a funny look, took a handful from the fourth hole, and poked it on the arm. Then she got up and walked to him, and in front of him, bent down to pick up the brooch that fell on the ground.

She was wearing gloves on both hands at this time. Therefore, the characters on the brooch were successfully preserved.

Clearly, clearly.

[I am a monster. 】

[I like Xu Tuoran. 】

…

She held the two brooches in her palms and looked carefully at them from the side. After some time, she raised her eyes.

"Are you stupid?"

She said softly, and threw [I am a monster] far away, and then pinned the other on his clothes.

The two were very close. The touch of Xu Tuoran's fingers could be felt through the clothes. Yang Buqi clenched the corners of his mouth, the bases of his ears and the sockets of his eyes suddenly felt a little hot for some reason.

"Sorry." He whispered. The branches curled up unconsciously.

Xu Tueran glanced at him angrily, then took out a few coins he was carrying, and pinned them one by one: "What are you apologizing for?"

Yang Buqi: "...I'm causing you trouble."

"..." Xu Tuoran paused, said "oh", and didn't say much. Just continue to pin the brooch on Yang Buqi.

The latter's heart sank, and he subconsciously wanted to say, "Leave me alone." His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't say anything.

And Xu Tuoran finally fastened the brooch in hand, raised his head and gave Yang Buqi a polite smile—then, under Yang Buqi's blank eyes, he knocked on it directly.

The little pink flower who was lying on top of Yang Buqi's head watching the play was so frightened that she immediately jumped down, while the beaten Yang Buqi himself covered his forehead and showed even more confused eyes: "Why did you hit me?"

"..." Xu Turan was about to be laughed at by this guy, rolled up his sleeves and was about to have a good "chat" with him again, when his eyes accidentally glanced at the few brooches he had just fastened on, his expression suddenly paused.

Yang Buqi, who was waiting nervously: "...?"

The next moment, I saw Xu Tuoran stepping forward quickly, took a brooch off his clothes, and handed it to Yang Buqi: "Isn't this brooch yours?"

"?" The topic changed so quickly that Yang Buqi didn't even react. He quickly glanced at Xu Tuoran's hand, and saw that there was a line of big characters written on the brooch - [I want to kill Jianglin].

He frowned, and said carefully: "Who is Jiang Lin?"

"A guy who suffered a thousand knives. It's the same as the one who hurt you." Xu Tuoran frowned, "This brooch will fade when it's on you. And it didn't trigger related memories..."

It shows that the source of this brooch is not Yang Buqi.

So the question is, who is this brooch from?

Xu Tuoran had touched this brooch with his own hands before, and he was very sure that it was not dropped by himself. As for the others, they have also experienced several rounds of brooch exchanges. If the brooch had something to do with them, it would have been picked up long ago.

Xu Tuoran's heart moved, and he raised his eyes vigilantly. On the other side, Yang Buqi also seemed to realize something, and both of them said in unison:

"Then this brooch can only belong to that girl."

"That woman also knows Jianglin."

After the words were finished, Xu Tu took a half step back, his eyes turned slightly, and he pinched the brooch in his hand: "I'll go to her to confirm."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out quickly without looking back.

The rest of Yang Buqi was alone, stepping on the small flower pot to keep up, suddenly seemed to think of something, blushed, hurriedly lowered his head to pick the brooch on his clothes, but when he took a closer look, he was suddenly taken aback .

Just now Xu Tuoran pinned several needles on his body one after another. He only thought that she was all "I like Xu Tuoran" and was so ashamed that he wanted to bury himself in the ground; only now did he find out that the "I like Xu Tuoran" that appeared on his clothes was actually only one piece.

The rest were all picked out by Xu Tuoran from the brooches he had collected and distributed to him.

【I'm very good. 】

【I am a good person. 】

【I deserve to be liked. 】

…

The bottom one has no words on it. There is only one possibility for this to happen, and that is that the brooch does not belong to him, and it is difficult to evoke the same qualities in him.

But if this is the case, why did Xu Tuoran give him this one?

Yang Buqi stared at the brooch for a while, and for some reason, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He hesitated for a moment, wrapped his hands with a piece of rag, and carefully removed the wordless brooch—as it gradually came off, the writing on the brooch gradually emerged and became clearer.

【I want to find Yang Buqi. 】

…

Yang Buqi stared at the brooch silently. After a while, Fang took a deep breath, like a lost traveler who finally found his soul.

There was a faint sound of arguing from the other end of the tunnel. Yang Buqi panicked, and hurriedly produced a soft emerald green leaf from his trunk, pulled it off, quickly and carefully wrapped up the brooch, put it in his pocket carefully, then quickened his pace, and walked towards the tunnel without hesitation. The other end rushed over.

The little pink flower standing on the ground: "..."

It waved its leaves in vain towards Yang Buqi's back, but unfortunately it was completely unnoticed. It stood there, looked around in a daze for a while, sat down on the ground in frustration, and started counting its own petals.

the other end.

When Xu Tuoran rushed back to the middle of the tunnel again, he happened to see Fang Xiaoke pushing the pudding head away.

They seem to be having a conflict. The person next to him was dissuading in a low voice, and his face was also not good—because of the light, Xu Tuoran had difficulty seeing the expressions of each of them clearly, but he keenly felt that the atmosphere here was very different from when she left, extremely tense and dignified.

Fang Xiaoke's emotions were still very excited, and he was about to walk out after breaking away from the pudding head. While struggling to reveal the brooch on her chest, Xu Tuoran noticed that the brooch on her chest used to indicate her name had been changed.

"Fang..." She tried to identify it, but unfortunately the light was too dim. Li Yun on the side whispered, "Fang Ke."

He sighed: "This is her real name."

"Oh...oh." Xu Tuoran searched the surroundings with his eyes, and noticed that the name on Li Yun's chest had also changed—it was changed to "Lin Yun".

"What are they arguing about?" She whispered, "Why are you the only ones? Are there others?"

At this moment, only Fang Ke, Lin Yun and Pudding Head were present. Feng Qiao—that is, the original "Qiao Feng", as well as the teahouse girl and the girl in overalls are not here.

"Fang Ke remembered something, and she is not calm now. Su Mai is stopping him. After all now... the most important thing is to try to find more brooches." Lin Yun explained in a low voice, "There are still people... they all go to the front I went. Said that I have something to discuss."

Su Mai-Xu Tueran was stunned for a moment, and realized that this should be Pudding Head's real name. From this point of view, she was right in guessing that Pudding Head was the one who broke into this place alone and hid the information in the Bug Museum.

She quickly rearranged the names of several people in her heart, and when she heard Lin Yun's heavy breathing, she couldn't help but look at him again.

Lin Yun said that Fang Ke was "not calm", but in fact, his voice was quite unstable when he spoke. There is still a bit of stagnation between the words, as if it takes a lot of effort to squeeze the sound out of the throat.

…as if it had just suffered some kind of spiritual shock, like the ground had just been washed by a storm. Although he tried his best to maintain his calmness, in fact, both the surface and the inside were full of cracks, and he didn't recover at all.

Xu Turan had a few thoughts in his mind, but in the end he didn't ask any more questions, he just patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, and continued walking forward.

A little further away, I saw the figure of the woman in the teahouse and Feng Qiao. They seemed to be discussing something in a low voice, the atmosphere between the two was equally dignified, and a few words drifted over—

"Five years... can't escape..."

"I can't find all the abilities... try to contact the outside world..."

"Got to find the seer...to figure out what he's got us here for..."

The lady in the tea room carried a flashlight with her, and she was putting it beside her at the moment. With the light of the flashlight in her hand, Xu Turan noticed that the two of them had more brooches on their clothes than the others.

She couldn't help touching her chest—she had already hidden the brooch with the [death value] written on it on the way here. Anyway, triggering with blood can also get back the memory. Therefore, she seems to have about the same number of brooches as everyone else at the moment.

Xu Tueran confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him, so he said hello and walked forward. The woman in the teahouse turned her head alertly, and when she saw it was her, she breathed a sigh of relief:

"Where did you go? Turn around and disappear."

"I went to have a look inside." Xu Tuoran said absent-mindedly, looking around, "Is there anyone else?"

What she wanted to ask was the girl in overalls who seemed to know "Jiang Lin". The woman in the tea room seemed to have misunderstood something, and said, "They should still be behind. Didn't you see them when you came?"

"I see. Fang Ke seems to be thinking of something, and he is very emotional." Xu Tuoran said, his eyes subconsciously swept across the chest of the woman in the tea room, and suddenly his eyes widened.

I saw there was a brooch with his name on it—Shangguan Qi.

Shangguan... Xu Tuoran looked at this surname, and thought of the other party's ability to make school rules, and suddenly made a bold guess.

"Excuse me, do you know about the golden fragrant tree?" She asked immediately, "Or, the big pagoda tree?"

"..." Shangguan Qi's expression changed slightly, Xu Tuoran saw it, and quickly added, "Then, what about the 'iron nematode'?"

As soon as these words came out, confusion appeared on Shangguan Qi's face. She frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't understand this word."

It means that the content of this part has not been remembered yet.

Xu Turan pursed his lips, but Shangguan Qi said softly: "Who are you? How do you know about the big Sophora japonica flower?"

"I... I've been there." Xu Tuoran didn't want to talk about it for the time being. She looked around and said quickly, "Where's that girl? Isn't she with you? The one in overalls?"

"Her? Shouldn't she be behind?" Hearing what she said, Shangguan Qi also frowned, "She didn't come with us. She should be with Fang Ke and them."

Feng Qiao on the side nodded in agreement. Xu Turan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"She's not there. Lin Yun said she came to the front with you." She pursed her lips, only to feel something throbbing in her mind, "She...does she remember anything about herself?"

"She? Yes." Shangguan Qi nodded, "I saw her pick up a name from the water and put it on herself."

"That seems to be called..." Shangguan Qi showed hesitation, and then said after a pause, "Jiang Lin."

"Yes, she found her own name. Jiang Lin."

At the same time as the last two words fell, Xu Tueran heard a rattling sound behind him. She turned her head suddenly, and was facing Shang Yang Buqi's pale face.

"...I remember this name." He looked at Xu Tuoran, his lips parted slightly, and a layer of sharp branches exploded from the originally flat tree trunk.

"That's her. I remember her."

Although he can't remember exactly what the other party did to him, he knows that he will become like this, and she will definitely have something to do with it.

Xu Tuoran: "..."

"Okay, then let's go find her now. Principal Shangguan, you continue." She nodded, took a few steps back, and turned around to rush out of the cave. Yang Buqi followed closely behind, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, the inside of his lips were almost bleeding from the bite.

Shangguan Qi watched the two leave like a whirlwind in perplexity, and tilted his head slightly, as if realizing something, he frowned slightly: "Jiang Lin... Lin?"

"Principal Shangguan?" Feng Qiao on the opposite side said cautiously, "Let's continue discussing what happened just now. It's rare for everyone to remember their identities. Such opportunities are too rare, and we have no time to waste."

"Oh...Okay." Shangguan Qi calmed down and raised his eyes, "I stick to my idea. You should have remembered that this is not the first time we have come here, but every time we acted before, the result was Failed...Part of our abilities are always hidden by 'he'. And this 'domain' is different, I can feel that it is very ancient, sleeping with powerful power...It is difficult for us to escape..."

"Toughness is not the answer. I still think we have to find 'him' and have a good talk with him."

Facing the disapproving eyes of the other party, Shangguan Qi nodded firmly, and repeated his thoughts again: "We should find a way to find the person with the predictive ability and have a good talk. I don't think he spent so much time trapping us here, just Out of malice."

"Perhaps he has his reasons."

at the same time.

On the last leg to the tunnel mouth.

Xu Turan ran forward as fast as he could, and Yang Buqi almost danced around the flowerpot on his root, but he was not far behind.

Xu Tuoran's explanation for this is that the power of hatred is indeed powerful.

"Wait a minute." Yang Buqi was running, and suddenly remembered something, and his whole body was startled, "Didn't you say that the brooch of 'Wanna Kill Jianglin' ​​belonged to that girl?"

"Yeah." Xu Turan didn't turn his head back, "Then?"

"But didn't you say they are of the same kind?" Yang Buqi frowned, "Then they should be together."

"To be honest, I don't think it's surprising that Jiang Lin's appearance of being beaten, let alone his companion, even his own mother wanted to strangle him to death." Xu Tuoran snorted, noticing that Yang Buqi was still a little dazed, Resolutely changed the subject, "Compared to this. How much do you remember about the prophet five years ago?"

"Only a general impression." Yang Buqi said frankly, "Five years ago, the Tzu Chi Institute trained a Chen-level predictor. Afterwards, he chose to betray mankind, resulting in the alienation or disappearance of a large number of high-level ability users..."

When he said this, he paused, and suddenly remembered something: "Wait, did you call that one just now, 'Principal Shangguan'?"

"Yes, that's her. The 'Principal Shangguan' of Dahuaihua Middle School." Xu Tuoran said indifferently, "It's also one of the high-ranking ones who disappeared five years ago."

While speaking, they had already rushed to the exit of the tunnel. Yang Buqi looked at the clear light that penetrated the tunnel entrance, and stopped involuntarily: "So, this is..."

"Actually, you should have searched for memories with them just now." Xu Tuoran sighed, and looked at him sideways, "Otherwise, you should know the truth better than me."

"The ability users who disappeared five years ago... A key attack against Hui-level and above. There is also a deep abhorrence of the word 'Lin'." Xu Turan muttered, turned and walked out of the tunnel entrance. The sunlight mixed with the spectrum poured down, she looked up at the silent wooden man above, her eyes narrowed slightly because of the scorching light circle.

"All of this actually points to one fact—the person with the foresight ability five years ago. He didn't intend to betray mankind. He had actually glimpsed the existence of the 'iron nematode', and he wanted to use some extreme methods to prevent the 'iron nematode' from Nematodes' appear.

"But later... maybe he was inspired by something. He changed his method. He no longer tried to alienate and degenerate those qualified ability users, but chose to trap them. Trapped in his own domain.

"In this domain, the ability users will forget themselves, the abilities they hold, and how to enter the upgrade space. As long as they keep forgetting, the 'iron nematodes' will never have the chance to possess them."

After the words fell, she took a step back, avoiding the glare of the light, and carefully looked at the deformed face of the wooden figure: "I guess I guessed right, friend?"

Yang Buqi just came out of the tunnel behind her, followed her gaze, and frowned in disbelief: "You don't want to say, this thing...is..."

he?

The wooden figure in front of him looked so scary that Yang Buqi didn't even dare to finish his guesses. Xu Turan nodded his head as a matter of course: "Otherwise?"

"I told you. It's alive, it spoke to me in private. And the white bear and black bear are transformed in its body. This just corresponds to 'the bear is it'."

The bear is the embodiment of the domain master. And the domain master is a Chen-level predictive ability user. Combined with the previous performance of the wooden man, it is not difficult to draw such a conclusion.

Yang Buqi frowned even more when he heard the words: "That means, he has already alienated into a monster..."

Still a self-flagellation monster.

The red liquid whipped out by the mechanical arm gurgled down, making a terrifying sound that was hard to ignore. Yang Buqi suddenly remembered the saying about alienation—after a capable person becomes a monster, his traits are most likely related to his obsession or emotion when he is alienated.

So this monster... this precognitive. What kind of mood did he have at that time, alienating so many mechanical arms with thorns, whipping himself day after day?

Yang Buqi didn't dare to think about it anymore. He felt as if there was a big stone in his heart, pressing heavily on it, and too complicated emotions surged into his chest, making him unable to say a word.

And at this moment, Xu Tuoran who was beside him suddenly jumped up.

"Hey, hey! Big man! Look at me, look at me!"

While jumping, she couldn't stop jumping towards the wooden man: "A bug has come in! I won't lie to you! Please deal with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Buqi suddenly felt the air around him stagnate, and the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet—he paused for two seconds before he could react. That's because the mechanical arm that couldn't help whipping the wooden man stopped the moment Xu Tuoran finished speaking.

Some kind of invisible pressure enveloped him, making his limbs numb and his scalp numb for a while. Xu Tuoran continued to wave his hands vigorously at the wooden man as if nothing had happened, took out his singing pen, turned on the microphone function, and yelled:

"It's a girl named Jiang Lin! Wearing overalls! She's not in the tunnel, she must have come out! Did you see her!"

The wooden man slowly turned his heavy head and did not speak. After a while, I heard a hard voice coming from the tunnel on the left:

"No."

Xu Tuoran turned his head following the sound, and saw a big white bear staggering out of the tunnel on the left. That sound came from its body.

The big white bear looked a little bad, like it was suddenly fished out when it was halfway through the meat grinder
