MTL - What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?-Chapter 84

Newborn City · Second City.

Inside Xu Turan's apartment.

The four ability users who finally met were sitting together, surrounded by corpses in disorder, and in the center was a 70-year-old woman sitting on a broken sofa.

This picture is so weird no matter how you look at it.

"Okay, then our respective situations are almost confirmed." After listening to the exchange of information from everyone, Shiyue clapped her palms and looked sideways at the old lady next to her. Seeing Xu Tuoran nodded slowly, Fang continued, "Then next, maybe it's time to discuss the... countermeasures?"

There was some uncertainty in his tone.

"Before deciding on the countermeasures, shouldn't we first think about the overall goal?" Old Wang rubbed his chin and said, pondering.

Compared with others, his appearance is relatively normal, and he looks gentle and withdrawn. In the discussion just now, he also belonged to the relatively seldom-spoken one. Basically, he only said a sentence when others asked him a question, and it was rare to take the initiative to speak at this moment.

The eyes of others fell on him at once, he pursed his lower lip a bit cautiously, and under Xu Tueran's encouraging gaze, he continued: "Generally speaking, there are four things that a capable person should do after entering the domain. First, ensure your own survival. Second, try to save people. Third, try to escape from the domain. Fourth, record what you see as much as possible and spread it. Our situation is actually very embarrassing.”

"Guaranteed to survive", this is what the four of them have achieved so far. Although the methods are different, they all survived the pursuit and sneak attack from the energy body. "Record and disseminate", although whether it can be disseminated is a problem, but he is keeping a diary seriously anyway.

The focus is on the middle two.

"First of all, it's about saving people. We've already reviewed our respective abilities and information just now. I'm Hui-level Long Ye and Ying-level Foresight, Jiaojiao's father is Torch-level War and Light-level Life. Eclipse Moon is a Torch-level Beast. Auntie, you are a torch-level natural disaster and order. Among all capable people, no one has the ability to recognize humans."

On this point, they have also made their own attempts. Zhang Baixue claimed that when he dealt with the energy body that came to assassinate him, he had tried to ask relevant questions, but did not get any answers; and Shiyue once let stray dogs stay at the door of various churches to identify humans, and tried to leave a secret signal to call humans , also to no avail.

On the contrary, it attracted a lot of conscious bodies who self-positioned themselves as human beings, as well as energy bodies who deliberately pretended to be human beings... which is to make it difficult for themselves in disguise.

If Pharaoh could activate his skills on his own initiative, this problem might be solved. However, apart from Zhang Baixue, none of the other three could actively use their skills.

This means that it is extremely difficult for them to identify humans who have been dragged into the domain. Wanting to "save people" is even more troublesome.

Then again, "escape domain" - this is another confusing goal.

"If you want to leave the domain, you can only try to destroy the foundation of this domain. Or you can simply give up the domain owner. But my aunt said that the domain owner of this domain is the Yongrichen level. This height, we can't Go head-to-head with it."

As for how to destroy the foundation of the domain, they are still at a loss.

Jiaojiao's father scratched his hair, looked sideways at Old Wang: "So you mean..."

"It's just a proposal. But I think, next, can we focus on the two points of 'finding humans' and 'finding roots'?" Lao Wang concluded, "but one disadvantage of this is that we I don't know how long it will take to spend on these two things, and whether I can get results in the end..."

"Wow, isn't this the same as our laboratory project?" Shiyue's ears drooped, "It took a few years of work, and I don't know if I can produce results in the end... This is too much a test of mentality."

...So you're still a mixed lab? !

The same astonishment popped up in the hearts of the others. Shiyue habitually scratched his neck with his hind feet, and looked up blankly: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

…

Xu Tuoran coughed, looked away, thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice:

"I think you have a good point. But maybe we can take a more proactive approach?"

Old Wang was taken aback, and straightened up unconsciously: "What do you mean?"

"For example, saving people. Ability users should do their best to help ordinary people. I agree with this. But why do we have to find people and save them?"

"..." Old Wang blinked slowly. For some reason, as a low-level predictor, he suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Let's figure it out. How does the domain master want to use those humans? It wants them to believe in themselves, and then go to the church to dedicate themselves—to make a point, the church."

Xu Tuoran stood up with difficulty, opened a side drawer, took out a map on the electronic screen, and opened it with a snap.

On the top, all the places marked with "church" have been circled.

Under the stunned eyes of everyone, Xu Tuoran handed the map to Shiyue, and slowly finished the second half of the sentence:

"If that's the case, then we'll blow up all the churches for him. They won't be able to find the door if they want to join the church - so, isn't it the end of the matter?"

The rest: "..."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

After a while, Lao Wang stood up calmly, walked to the table, glanced at the ID card that Aunt Zhang put on it as if nothing had happened, and walked back.

Shiyue gave him a puzzled look: "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, just take a look." Lao Wang said shyly, and sat back in his seat.

He just deliberately glanced at Xu Tuoran's intelligence value.

…No, this intelligence point has obviously increased to twenty. Ordinarily, the brain should be able to function normally...

Pharaoh was confused. Lao Wang didn't know whether to say it or not.

It's not that I think this method is not good, the key is that the firepower is insufficient.

At this moment, Jiaojiao's father on the side let out a deep breath.

"I think this method is okay." He patted his thigh, "Auntie, I'll do it with you."

Pharaoh: ...? ? ?

Jiaojiao father, prone to war. The quality "mechanic", has a passive ability, and is a manual expert.

"As long as it is related to manual work, whether it is assembly or maintenance, I have a natural bonus." Jiaojiao's father said, took out a tablet from his backpack, opened it and handed it out, "Like this, I made it myself It was picked up from the trash and repaired."

"Aren't most of the energy bodies in this domain in the state of robots? They are all equipped with weapons. We can completely disassemble parts and assemble weapons from them. Then use the ability of the aunt to fill up everyone's combat power points. In this way, how many can Make up for the problem of insufficient firepower."

"But the church can't be blown up. This method treats the symptoms but not the root cause. And the energy body can be replenished." Old Wang said helplessly.

"I have observed that in my community, under normal circumstances, the energy body will be replenished every five or seven days, and the number of people will be two to four at a time. They will enter in disguise as new residents, and the number will not be due to the original energy. There is a large fluctuation due to the loss of the energy body. Assuming that the church's energy body replenishment is also at the same frequency, then their rebuilding speed must be very fast..."

Halfway through his speech, he noticed Xu Tuoran's slightly bright eyes, and slowly stopped talking.

"That, auntie. Did you understand what I just said? The energy body will be replenished regularly..."

"Understood." Xu Tuoran nodded slowly, "That is to say, the energy body will be replenished once every five days at the shortest. And it will not be replenished substantially."

"Okay, that's enough."

Old Wang: "..." No, wait, what is enough?

He was dazed for a moment, and was thinking about showing everyone the energy body growth observation chart he had made during this period, when Xu Tuoran clapped his hands and stood up slowly.

"About the problem of treating the symptoms and the root cause, we really need to think again. You guys talk first, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be right back."

As Xu Tuoran said, he dragged his feet and opened the door to go out. The few people left in the room looked at each other.

After a moment of silence, Pharaoh sighed and turned to Jiaojiao's father: "Do you really think this method will work?"

"To be honest, I'm not sure." Jiaojiao's father said bluntly, "But I'd rather take the risk than stay here."

Old Wang: "..."

He closed his eyes and looked at Eclipse Moon again. The latter's ears moved.

"Auntie is the most powerful. I will listen to Auntie." Shiyue said in a firm tone.

…Fine.

Lao Wang sighed and stopped talking.

Just at this moment, the door opened, and Xu Tuoran came back with a slow pace.

"It's too late today, you can rest here with me." She waved her hand, "It just so happens that there will be new numerical points sent later, everyone wait for a fresh one, and save running back and forth."

...I don't know, I thought she was keeping a meal.

Shiyue's ears moved, still confused. Old Wang has already reacted quickly: "You mean, there will be energy bodies attacking here later?"

Xu Tuoran nodded seriously and sat back on the sofa.

Old Wang opened his mouth in surprise: "How do you know?"

"I called to ask." Xu Tuoran pointed to a dead body next to him, "His ID card has the unit where he works, which is the nearby roast meat shop. I just made a call with the public communicator downstairs , and asked them if there was any activity to deliver...warm warmth to their door tonight..."

In fact, what she said at the time was, give away the head—but whatever it is, she got an affirmative answer anyway.

Jiaojiao's father: "...what did he say?"

"He said you wait, and then ended the call." Xu Tuoran spread his hands.

At the same time, there is also a hundred death points. This is why she is sure that the other party will do it again.

"Come on, let's add some points first." She took out all the identity cards she had saved before, except for her own backup and the ones that had been used up by the eclipse moon, and there were still a lot left. There's no need to be so nervous."

She lifted the tablet that Jiaojiao's father had just taken out. That thing has been playing the news automatically since it was turned on. At this moment, it happened to be an incident of a perverted murderer slashing people.

In the small window menu next to it, there are other important news listed. Including but not limited to vicious fights, serial suicides, rumors of urban hauntings, weird hallucinations of collective fires...

"I have a hunch." Xu Tuoran said earnestly, "We are not fighting as a team."

The rest: ...? ? ?

Strictly speaking, more than one human team is fighting.

As for this point, it is needless to say too clearly.

Xu Turan thought silently, and turned his gaze back to the tablet in his hand.

A perverted killer who slashed people crazily, and he guessed correctly that it should be a teddy bear with a knife. It is undoubtedly the handwriting of the vitamin pill bottle that caused the street rush. She is not sure about the successive suicides. From the results, it is most likely that the mirror of chaos is causing trouble. As for hauntings and fires...

Well, it looks like heck Polaroids and fire torches are on the way, too.

Everyone worked hard, and my aunt was very pleased.

The only thing that has not seen any movement so far is the pen of the pen fairy. I don't know where this guy has gone... Xu Tuoran rubbed his eyes and put the tablet aside. Seeing Shiyue standing up and starting to play with the corpse, he asked strangely, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"Oh, I'll pack a bag first." Shiyue said honestly, "Wait, don't I have to make another batch. It's hard to clean up after piled up. I'll sort them out first, and it will be convenient to take them out later."

Xu Tuoran: "..."

She stared at Shiyue for a moment, then looked at the corpse on the ground, her heart suddenly moved.

In the next second, she turned to Old Wang who was at the side.

"I know how to get rid of the root cause." She said seriously, "The kind of root cause that is a two-pronged approach."

Old Wang: "...?"

Another three days.

Caiying New District Central Hospital entrance.

This kind of hospital is basically bound to the church. After joining the church, if you want to replace the flesh and blood, you can only do it in a specific area of ​​the hospital.

Because of the high cost of treatment, there is little traffic in the hospital. Most people prefer to just find a random repair shop and get by. Today, however, a large group of people is rarely seen at the entrance of the hospital.

Andy kept bouncing around, poking his head outside the crowd, and finally squeezed in. After just one glance, he was so frightened that he looked away immediately.

"Chuang, Chuangshen is on top." He said unskilledly, pressing his chest in horror, "What are those?"

No one answered his question. Others were also shocked by what they saw.

——I saw several corpses lying at the door of the hospital at the moment, and the death conditions were extremely miserable.

His belly was ripped apart, his internal organs were messy, and engine oil was spilled all over the floor.

"Is this the tenth incident?" Andy heard someone whispering outside the crowd, "What is the security team doing? Why don't you care?"

"Don't mention it. I think they have been flying all over the city for the past two days. It is said that there have been too many accidents recently..."

"It's not. It's a murderer and a fight. I heard that churches and hospitals in many places are closed. I don't know why. I haven't found out the reason until now. How could there be such a thing before?"

"I'm just telling you in secret. My colleague lives near the headquarters of the security brigade. He said that the internal security brigade is not peaceful. Some people are missing, and many of them are missing. The vehicles are all dragged back from the garbage dump. Yes, there are only clothes and parts on it, and no one has found it until now..."

"God, it won't be like what they said. What kind of punishment is this?"

"..." Andy's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately squeezed out of the crowd and got closer. The few robots who were whispering saw him coming, and immediately stopped talking, patted each other as if nothing had happened, and were about to leave.

"Sorry, please wait!" Andy said hurriedly, "Can you tell me what you just said?"

He mustered up the courage to stop one of them, and lowered his voice: "Please, I won't tell the others. I'm just too surprised and a little scared..."

"..." Several other people looked at each other, and one of them whispered, "Don't you even read the news?"

Andy: "..."

"I don't have relevant equipment." He was a little embarrassed, "I don't have the spare money to buy information outside..."

He has only been in this world for less than a month, and he has been discriminated against because he has not replaced mechanical parts, and can only rely on odd jobs to survive. It is not easy to maintain food and clothing. Where can I buy information with money.

And because of his resistance to this world, he has always been alone and has no one to chat with. The news is naturally blocked.

"...Oh." The other party nodded knowingly, gave him a sympathetic look, and glanced at his arm, "You, do you believe in Chuangshen?"

"I believe it, but I don't believe it completely." Andy said quickly, "I just filled out the application form for joining the church, and I don't quite understand anything else."

Noticing the hesitation in the other party's eyes, he added: "I promise, I will not spread anything you say."

"...All right. You just joined the religion, so I will help you." One of them pondered for a moment, then lowered his voice, "Just, have you heard of the name 'Inverse Creation God'?"

Andy widened his eyes and shook his head blankly.

"This name just appeared recently." Another person added, "Someone left a message on the street, saying that 'Reverse Creation God' appeared to resist Creation God. He has supernatural powers. The recent serial murders, collective The brawl was all caused by him."

"There are also those who died... well, just like that door. This is not the first time this happened. Just the night before yesterday, there were three such things at the door of the church, and the day before yesterday. Last night, except for Here, there are two other places too, I don’t know if there are other places..."

"I heard that some corpses will have a note warning the believers of Chuangshen. But I dare not go to see it, I don't know if it is true."

"And beep, including inside the security brigade. People have been missing recently beep. All the missing beeps are Chuangshen believers."

"There are also supernatural events such as hauntings and collective hallucinations. Some people say that this is 'God's punishment'. Because people believe in false gods..."

The man was so excited that he lost control at all. He was bumped by his companion before he realized it, and looked at Andy nervously.

"Chuangshen" is a common belief here. However, they are not considered diehard believers. They usually say "Chuangshen is above", but they just follow suit. Chuangshen has never bestowed favor on them, and their beliefs are not deep-rooted.

However, it is different from their happy believers. If those kind of orthodox believers hear such words, they will definitely turn their faces and get angry. Maybe it will be reported to the church or the security brigade...

The hearts of those people were suspended because of this, and they looked at Andy vigilantly. After hearing that, Andy just froze on the spot.

"False gods..." he muttered the word, looking down at his body, "then what they said...does it still count?"

Others didn't understand: "What?"

"That's... as long as you have enough numerical points, you can be promoted to the main city..." Andy hesitated.

"Then who knows. But just don't go to church recently." A robot said, "If you finally get a new part and get 'clicked' as soon as you go out, it's thanks to you."

...this one is.

Andy thought with lingering fear, and couldn't help touching his arm.

False gods—he repeated the term in his mind, and a layer of cold sweat dripped down his back.

He was silent for a while, thanked the robots in a low voice, and left along the street clutching his arms.

He didn't notice at all that in the alley beside him, several stray dogs were staring at him.

There is a collar hanging around the neck of the stray dog, and a mini camera is flashing on the collar.

On the other side, in an abandoned warehouse. Old Wang was sitting on the ground, carefully observing the several screens in front of him, holding a notebook in his hand, and kept writing and scribbling.

"This guy, in addition to fear and surprise, there are fear and joy in the current emotions. Moreover, the characteristics and rhythm of his breathing are the same as those of ordinary people." Old Wang pointed to Andy on the screen, " We can pay attention to this person and continue to observe."

Shiyue next to him nodded hurriedly, and carefully took note of Andy's appearance characteristics, and then asked the stray dogs to follow up. Jiaojiao's father was squatting beside him, dismantling parts from a robot's arm. Hearing this, he raised his head curiously: "How many of them have you found?"

"Counting the previous one, the eighth one." Lao Wang flipped through the notebook in his hand, "The possibility of misjudgment cannot be ruled out. Therefore, continuous observation is necessary."

"This efficiency seems to be a bit low." Jiaojiao's father inserted a screwdriver into his hair, then turned to pick up another tool.

"No way. Staring at three screens at once is my limit." Old Wang shook his head, and began to observe and take notes on the screen again.

"It doesn't matter if the efficiency is low. Anyway, our purpose now is to drive away the potential audience of the church. As long as we can keep those humans away from the creation religion, we will win."

Xu Tuoran's voice came from behind. When everyone turned their heads, they saw Xu Tuoran, who was wearing bright sportswear, striding over with a machine gun in his arms. The gray hair was **** high, forming a bun on the top of the head.

"I've tried it." She raised the gun in her hand to Jiaojiao's father and gave her thumbs up, "This thing really works."

"That is." Jiaojiao's father was very proud, "But this is my general level."

His most proud work is actually the fully automatic makeup machine he made for his wife when he first reached the torch level. Although I was forced to sleep on the sofa for a week after finishing it, the degree of completion and fineness absolutely killed this gun in seconds.

Xu Turan smiled, carefully put the weapon aside, took out a map on the electronic screen, and began to study it seriously.

In the past few days, they have done a lot of work. They have to clean up the troublesome energy bodies, throw the processed corpses in front of the church to scare people, and create momentum for the so-called "God Against Creation"... Just the day before yesterday and last night, they successfully raided a wave of hospitals And the church next to it completely destroyed the ritual circle in it.

And for some reason, the people from the security brigade didn't bother them anymore. This allowed Xu Tuoran and the others to advance their plan more smoothly.

The death value also increased slowly during this process - because she deliberately lowered her initial value, she had a higher probability of increasing the death value when facing the energy body. After that, as long as you delineate the country and add the value back, you can almost achieve painless scoring.

Coupled with the weapons made by Jiaojiao's father, it effectively reduces the frequency of her using abilities. The embarrassing scene of beating someone and crying like a dog is also greatly reduced...

Can. The current progress is very gratifying.

Xu Tuoran counted the death points he had gained recently, and nodded secretly.

In the past few days, a total of 2,300 points have been harvested. Although it is not a lot, it is considered a credit.

Moreover, Xu Tuoran believes that so far, the real big head has not yet appeared.

— Companions.

From entering this world until now, she has never seen any accompanying creatures.

The same goes for everyone else. Eclipse Moon only knows that the accompanying creature is involved in the management of the city, which was overheard through stray dogs, and the expression is also very vague.

Are there really accompanying creatures in this sub-urban area? If so, what form do they exist in, and when do they plan to end?

There is another point that makes her feel a little strange—from entering this world until now, she has never successfully entered the "Natural Disaster Cemetery".

She was still holding the 8,000 transportation reward she got last time, and she had been planning to use it up. But for some reason, every time I plan to enter the natural disaster cemetery in my sleep, I always fail to do so. When I woke up the next day, I was always at a loss, feeling like I was dreaming, but I couldn't remember it at all.

Is it because of the domain itself? They're going to pry other hospitals and churches tonight...does she try again? Eight thousand instead of walking, maybe you can go straight to Hui.

Xu Turan thought uncertainly, and unconsciously rubbed the map with his fingers.

As if aware of her ups and downs, Lao Wang, who was watching the screen, turned his head and took a deep look at her. He opened his mouth to ask something, when he suddenly hissed and covered his forehead with his hand.

The others hurriedly looked over, and Shiyue's ears perked up: "What's wrong with you?"

"I...my head hurts suddenly." Lao Wang waved his hand and said with difficulty, "Pass, pass on, within forty-eight hours, I'm afraid something big will happen..."

He has prescience tendencies. Although it is only at the firefly level, it still has a certain effect.

It's just that the scope can only be narrowed down to forty-eight hours, which is his limit.

Lao Wang covered his head, still stubbornly emphasizing that "there must be a catastrophe within forty-eight hours". The others nodded while helping him to lie down. Shiyue glanced at the screen inadvertently, let out a low snort, and pricked up her ears.

"What's wrong?" Xu Tuoran said.

"An old man walked into the hospital. The others didn't respond as if they didn't see it. It's so strange." Shiyue muttered, tilting his head in confusion.

He didn't notice Xu Tuoran's sudden stop.

the other end.

Hungry and hungry, Fanfan walked into the hospital lightly under the eyes of everyone, and went straight to the front desk.

"Excuse me." He handed his ID card to the staff behind the front desk who was in a daze. "I'm a believer who just had an operation. I had a heart replacement. Please help me adjust my points."

"...Ah?" The staff raised his head slowly, "But I just saw that you entered from the outside..."

Halfway through her speech, her words stopped in an instant.

The old man in front of him turned his head slightly, his eyes were wide open, the pupils spread like a full moon, and there seemed to be a strange light flowing in them.

staff member:"…"

"Okay, I understand." She lowered her head, picked up the points modification machine, pointed at Hungry Fanfan's ID card, and pressed it twice, "Okay, your points have been increased."

"Thank you." Hungry Fanfan nodded coldly, "Also, after I leave here, I hope you can forget what happened just now."

After speaking, he took the card and turned to leave.

The same as when they came, the corpse was still lying at the entrance of the hospital, and no one came to maintain order for a long time. The onlookers surrounded layer after layer, but no one gave Hungry Fan Fan a look.

Hungry, Fanfan squeezed out of the crowd, looking at the data on the card, his eyes darkened.

In this way, he gained another one hundred and fifty numerical points—but this was already the maximum numerical value he could obtain.

His eternal day is only at the level of brilliance. Facing the suppression of the Chen level, even if one can use one's ability, it will be somewhat restricted. Therefore, he couldn't get enough points for himself at one time, so he could only accumulate them slowly like this.

According to this progress, at least a dozen more tricks will be required to accumulate enough value points.

Forget it, it's okay. Next, just keep a low profile during this period of time, so as not to arouse the vigilance of companion creatures and domain owners, and then try to quietly enter the main city and approach the domain owner...

Hungry and hungry, Fanfan was planning secretly, when his footsteps stopped suddenly.

In the next second, his eyes widened in astonishment, he clutched his chest, and fell to the ground.

Unfamiliar anger swept through his chest, and distant roars and screams seemed to come from his ears. He looked up in disbelief, looking at the sky above him.

It's not his anger. This is the forced resonance from the higher order of Eternal Day.

"...Those idiots, stupid ability users!" He secretly gritted his teeth, his face turned pale.

"They have already attracted the domain owner's attention!"

"It's... unlucky!"

At the same time, on the other side.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 5,000 death points! 】

[Congratulations, you currently hold more than 25,000 death points, and unlock the reward function—the Dream Space 100% chance to log in once. 】

…

Xu Tuoran, who was inspecting the props, paused for a moment, raised his head alertly, and looked upwards.

"Auntie? What's the matter?" Papa Jiaojiao asked strangely.

Xu Tueran was silent for a moment, said lightly that it was okay, and wrapped the trembling fox ornament into the silver paper with all his strength, and stuffed it deep into his pocket.
