What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?

At the end of the corridor on the same floor as the dance studio, there is a vending machine. The little pink flower stepped on the two small roots very quickly, and soon rushed to the machine, holding two small leaves, jumped over happily, nimbly climbed onto the surface of the vending machine, and carefully tapped the buttons a few times.

And when there was a "bang-dang" falling sound inside the machine, it crawled in along the outlet, and pressed two leaves against the beverage bottle that was lying sideways, pushing and pushing outward—the sour plum juice was quickly pushed out. It fell out of the delivery port and fell to the ground with a bang. Little Fenhua jumped out and started to push the sour plum soup with two leaves, walking forward step by step.

From departure to shipment, the process takes less than three minutes, and the efficiency is not low.

In comparison, the progress of the discussion inside the dance practice room was not so gratifying.

Three guys who called themselves Pu Han sat together, looking at each other. Perhaps because of Xu Tuoran's powerful oppressive force, what should have been a fierce discussion of "Monkey King vs. Six-eared Macaque" was instead carried out in a more relaxed way.

It was Pu Han who spoke first.

He was placed on a chair by Xu Tueran, forming an equilateral triangle with the other two who were tied up. He sat at a vertex of the triangle, looked left and right, and finally took aim at the strong man who was not so hostile to him, and asked sincerely: "Hey, brother. Why do you think you are Pu Han?"

The old man was dumbfounded when he heard this. You are asking, what do I think I think I am Pu Han. I am Pu Han.

Although he and the short-haired girl questioned each other's identities, they had reached a surprising agreement on a certain point—they both believed that they were "Pu Han", but for some unknown reason, when entering the This domain was later changed in appearance, and was assigned to the initial group that could not communicate with Xu Tueran.

According to this logic, "this" Pu Han, who has the original appearance of Pu Han and was assigned to Group F from the beginning, is really suspicious.

Also because of this, after hearing Pu Han's annoying "why", he didn't know how to answer for a while—after all, he didn't expect that this impostor could be so thick-skinned, and even asked him "why?" ".

But Pu Han waved his hand on the ground, and lowered his voice mysteriously: "Hey brother, you are not interesting. Don't you understand the current situation? It is said that the three of us are going to confront each other, but in reality it is Wait for me to expose you. Otherwise, why are you all **** and I am not?

"I'm really positive about your desire to make trouble and this interesting method of provocation. But now that the situation has developed like this, it's meaningless to jump up and down. It's better to play GG happily, Anyway, it’s still an output style, isn’t it.”

Pu Han talked like a cannonball, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Tuoran who was sitting next to him with his arms folded, looking like he was watching a show, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Besides, you and this Xu Tuoran may not be as good as you are." I don't know her very well. She has a lot of patience. The longer you put it off, the worse it will be. Really."

He said it in a serious way, but the tall man was even more confused, confused and angry, tongue-tied for a long time, and finally found his voice: "What is a fierce jump, and what does it mean that I am not familiar with her? I am not familiar with her." We have known each other since we were in the Charity House. I...you...you are not a thief shouting "stop thief..."

He didn't seem to be very agile in his verbal expression, and he stumbled a bit later. Pu Han smiled mockingly, and was about to say something more when he suddenly caught a shaking shadow out of the corner of his eye——

He turned his head in astonishment, only to realize that the short-haired girl had untied her wrists at some point, and was striding towards Xu Turan while swinging her wrists.

Xu Tuoran sat in his original position and raised his head calmly: "What's the matter?"

"I'm too lazy to fight with them." The short-haired girl said bluntly, "You are Xu Tuoran. Your true inclinations are chaos, order, natural disasters, and beasts. You joined the Tzu Chi Institute in July this year. As the highest-ranking omniscient , I have handled your personal data. Because chaos and order have never coexisted in anyone before you, in order to avoid attracting other people's attention, I changed you to natural disasters, eternal day and beasts. The registered qualities are respectively For 'Invincible and Cute Little Jade Rabbit' and 'Snow White'…”

The short-haired girl crossed her arms: "Should these be enough to prove my identity? If not, I can continue to talk to you about other things."

Xu Tueran blinked slowly, and just about to speak, the tall man beside him suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something, and suddenly jumped up from his seat. The movement was so loud that Pu Han next to him was startled.

Affected by his movements, the chair also fell to the ground with a clang, and the harsh sound echoed in the empty room. Xu Tuoran pursed his lips, and looked over patiently, "You have something to do too?"

"...Well." The tall man paused, his expression showing a bit of embarrassment, "She...what she just said is problematic."

When the short-haired girl heard this, she gave him an annoyed look and snorted. Pu Han looked at him like that, and it was a little funny. After waiting for a while, before the tall man continued, he looked over inexplicably: "Then you said it. Why are you still standing there?"

The tall man let out a "hmm" in a hesitant tone. Xu Tuoran, on the other hand, spoke unhurriedly: "Don't just bully him. On the 3rd, he is different from you two, he is very introverted."

After finishing speaking, he nodded towards the tall man: "Don't be nervous. Follow your way of thinking and speak slowly."

The man nodded slightly, and then slowly opened his mouth. On the other hand, Pu Han was stunned again.

What number three? So in your heart, even the numbers are compiled, right? And you say that he is introverted, so there is nothing to discuss, just vote out. Will there be an introverted Pu Han in the world? It doesn't exist at all, okay?

Also, what's the matter with this guy? Are you an obedient student in class, you dare not speak when no one asks you? ?

Pu Han only felt that this guy's performance was really useless, and calling him "Pu Han" was to discredit him. But I have to say that the other party's next speech is still very much to his liking—

"Just now, this, uh, 'Nv Puhan''s statement has a lot of loopholes." He said seriously, "It was 'I' who submitted your information at the time. But the one who actually made the changes , it's not me, but Feifei. She's completely wrong about this."

When Pu Han heard this, he clapped his hands twice to show his approval. The short-haired girl couldn't help but sneered and said:

"Isn't it? As for being so literal-minded? Feifei and I were one at the time, and if she's making changes, isn't that the same as me making changes?"

"You don't give yourself money." Pu Han said without hesitation, "My wife has nothing to do with you. Let me tell you, of all people, your existence is the most outrageous, and you don't even match your gender, okay? Come on, listen Mine, throw her out first!"

The short-haired girl really laughed angrily this time: "You still have the nerve to say it? How dare I say that it has nothing to do with you? If I don't turn into this outrageous appearance, will you still have the chance to pretend to be my replacement?

"Also, who is your wife now? You just shut up. If you post Feifei again, be careful I'll beat you up."

After the short-haired girl finished speaking politely, she turned around and went to the chair again to sit down. Pu Han grinned, but his eyes turned cold.

He scratched his hair, leaned back on the back of the chair, and said with a half smile: "Okay, since everyone insists on jumping against each other, what is there to talk about. Isn't Xu Tuoran's stone spear able to kill the abominable thing? Let's stand next to each other." Wouldn't it be okay to go up and touch it?"

"About this point, I've actually tried it before." Xu Tuoran calmly raised his hand to signal, "Both of them didn't react when they touched the stone spear.

"If you really want to say, the only one who hasn't touched this thing is you."

The expression on Pu Han's face suddenly froze. After three seconds of silence, he suddenly stood up under the funny eyes of the short-haired girl, walked quickly to the stone spear, stretched out his hand to wipe it up vigorously, then raised his good palm as if showing off, waved it around, and kicked it again. Kicked back to position.

"Self-proof is complete." He put his hand down, "By the way, to confirm, is your stone spear effective against iron nematodes?"

"I'm really not sure about this." Xu Tuoran said honestly, "At least in the state of possessing a human being, it won't work."

This is the truth. In the camphor forest, Jiang Lin, possessed by a human being, could walk around with a stone spear, while Jiang Lin, possessed by an abomination, would yell when he touched something. In this area, Xu Tueran couldn't be sure what form "Jiang Lin" existed in, and naturally he didn't know whether the stone spear would work.

Therefore, the stone spear is harmless to the three of them, and cannot 100% prove their identities.

But at the same time, all three of them exhibit omniscient tendencies and cannot read each other directly. When Pu Han looked at the past of the other two, he could only see something like a lump of mud, but Xu Turan confirmed that the same was true for the other two.

The difference is that the other two can see some information about Pu Han by reading Xu Tuoran. However, this has no effect except to aggravate their respective suspicions about Pu Han.

After all, no one can calmly remain objective about the guy who replaced him after he opened his eyes and found that he had changed his face and his identity was replaced by someone else.

Xu Tuoran is only glad that she and Pu Han are the only ones in this domain now. If another Feifei was brought along, the three of them would have already been beaten to death.

...But having said that, if Feifei is here, it might not be too difficult to confirm Pu Han's identity.

Thinking of this, Xu Tuoran couldn't help but secretly sighed. On the other side, just as she was distracted, the discussions among the three "Pu Han" were once again in full swing, but they still used the same tricks as before—

Turn over old things. Turn over old things from various angles. From the scumbags who started in elementary school to the long-distance love race with Feifei, from falling into the dry toilet at the age of eight to falling into the puddle at the age of eighteen. All kinds of old sesame seeds and rotten millet were turned up, and they didn't know what to think. They also turned up their own dark history one by one, so intense that they seemed to be fighting the landlord with gossip. The short-haired girl was especially tough when she spoke. If Xu Tueran hadn't stopped in time, she would have been able to drive the car directly to the day when she and Feifei...

...Although she was really curious, how did Pu Han manage to be dragged away by the ambulance in the middle of the process...

"Then what, I think it doesn't make sense for you to argue like this." Xu Tuoran wavered between "curiosity" and "efficiency" for a few seconds, and finally gritted his teeth and chose the latter, "What are you talking about?" , the other party basically knows.”

Apart from making it easier for her to listen to a bunch of gossip, it seems to have no other effect.

"..." The three "Pu Han" thought about it, and returned to their seats with sullen faces, falling silent again.

Xu Tuoran closed his eyes restrainedly, and tried to help them develop their thinking: "You...I mean, the real Pu Han. I have worked in the Tzu Chi Institute for a long time, and I am still omniscient. Have you never come into contact with any similar cases? ?”

Pu Han snorted: "Yes. The real and fake Monkey King." It is often shown on TV.

Xu Tuoran: "..."

She rubbed her forehead and sighed: "I don't remember that clearly. How did they tell each other apart later?"

Girl with short hair: "Kill the fake to death, and the rest will be real."

Xu Tuoran: "..."

That's a great idea, I like it.

It's a pity that although the method is good, it can't be used now - Xu Tuoran has already tested it with "complicated and confusing" before, and the three "Pu Han" have no malicious intentions towards her. From this point of view, there will be three existences who identify themselves as "Pu Han" at the same time, and there may be other reasons. It may not be a good way to kill them directly.

I thought that letting the three of them confront each other would yield some valuable results. For this reason, Xu Tuoran also deliberately set up the invisible rule in advance that "the self-certified can only tell the truth" - but due to the limitation of ability, the "truth" she can stipulate is limited to what the expresser admits. the truth. You can only avoid deliberate lying.

Fortunately, there are no lies. There were piles of gossip, like a basket of melons, causing Xu Tuan a headache.

In particular, they didn't know who started the conversation again, they ignored Xu Tuoran's call to stop, and started a new round of Gossip Fighting the Landlord—the difference was that they all chose to abandon themselves this time, and went to a bigger stage for filming. The table is full of other people's gossip...

The reason seems to be that they believe that omniscient tendencies may not be able to read information obtained by other omniscients through reading, so this type of information can better reflect the authenticity of being "Pu Han". But in Xu Tuoran's view, there is only one real reason.

— top.

Hearing them talking further and further away, she looked at the completely different profiles of the three of them, and a bold idea suddenly popped up in her mind. Just as he opened his mouth to say something, he suddenly heard the tall man speak intermittently and desperately: "I know that Yang Buqi once shaved his own hair to experiment with the potion!"

"Damn, who doesn't know, the potion didn't work. He wore a hat for a month." Pu Han immediately followed, "I also know that when he was first admitted to the hospital, he wore women's clothing for the mission!"

"Big pink skirt, who doesn't know the same." The short-haired **** the side was not to be outdone, and was about to fill in other details when she suddenly realized something and turned to look at Xu Turan, "What were you trying to say just now?"

Xu Turan: ...

"It's okay. That's not important. You can let it go first." Xu Tuoran was silent for a moment, then waved his hand, "Yang Buqi's big pink dress...is there any more? Are there any details?"

other people:…

Just at this time, the door was suddenly knocked lightly. Xu Tuoran quickly walked over, and saw a bottle of sour plum juice lying across the door, Xiao Fenhua poked her head out from behind, jumped onto the drink bottle, and proudly forked two small leaves.

Although it took a little time because I couldn't see the way clearly, it was delivered successfully!

Xu Tuoran rubbed its head with anticipation and praised it. After the compliment was over, he turned his head to look at the three people in the room who were at a standstill. Come on. Bring me back a can of potato chips."

Little Fenhua nodded vigorously without thinking, jumped off the drink bottle, and was about to run with the blade up. Pu Han raised his eyebrows in the room, and couldn't help but said, "Are you serious? We're about to fight, and you only want to eat potato chips?"

Xu Tuoran: "..."

She pressed the little pink flower with one hand, pondered for a moment, then nodded: "That makes sense."

Then he let go of his fingers, and pushed the little pink flower forward: "One more Mentos."

Xiao Fenhua seemed to have a small wheel on her feet, as soon as she let go, she ran away with a huff. Xu Tueran pursed his lips, closed the door and turned around, facing the unspeakable gazes of the other three.

She clapped her hands indifferently, and raised her eyes: "Have you all lowered your head?"

"After fighting for so long without even having a bottle of water, it's a troll who has given up." Pu Han folded his arms. Xu Tuoran smiled, walked to his backpack, took out three small bottles of unopened mineral water, threw them over one by one, and waited for the three of them to catch them, Fang said: "Have you figured it out now? Who will tell you?" Is it really Pu Han?"

Pu Han gave her a "knowledgeful question" look, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a sip. The short-haired girl held the water bottle without moving, and asked again: "So what exactly were you trying to say just now?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something." Xu Tuoran opened his own sour plum soup and said slowly, "Pu Han and I mentioned that I went to a camphor forest before."

"I know, in order to find Yang Buqi." The short-haired girl said immediately.

"I also brought out the stone spear from there." Pu Han added.

"And rescued the people trapped there." The tall man sighed, "That's great."

Xu Tuoran took a deep look at them. Due to time constraints, she did not tell Pu Han more about the camphor forest, nor did she know how much Pu Han had learned from Fang Ke. However, there is one point that she has to mention now:

"In that domain, there are two special existences. One is wearing a white bear puppet costume, and the other is wearing a black bear puppet costume. The two bears have completely different personalities and abilities, but in essence, they are actually one. .”

Xu Tueran raised **** and put them together inwardly: "They are all incarnations of the domain master. They are a kind of 'personality' that the domain master stripped from himself. It is only because of the special mechanism in the domain that they can be as individuals. form exists."

"..." Pu Han paused, and slowly put down the mineral water, "You mean..."

"Do you think we are in a similar situation?" the short-haired woman asked.

"It's just a guess." Xu Tuoran spread his hands, "But doesn't that make sense? Pu Han feels that his ability has been weakened, but maybe it's because his power has been distributed to you..."

No, maybe the "Pu Han" who has been communicating with her is not complete. He may be the subject, or he may be just one of the "fragments".

Pu Han entered the domain, and because of the mechanism here, without knowing anything about it, he was split into three parts with different appearances and personalities—maybe there will be more. These fragments all retain the memory of the main body, and do not know the existence of other fragments, so such an oolong will occur.

"It's still not right." After thinking for a moment, the tall man shook his head, "If that's the case, why didn't you have a similar situation?"

"Maybe I have it too, but my fragments haven't come out yet." Xu Tuoran said, "Not everyone will be like you, and will rush to crack down on fakes as soon as they find out that they have been replaced."

...which is true.

The three Pu Han did their own calculations, and found that this is true—assuming there is another "Xu Tuoran", then according to the original style of acting, she is indeed more likely to choose to do things in secret than to immediately find out whether it is true or not...

"But it's still wrong." The tall man whispered, "There are only four newcomers in the same batch."

It is now very clear that the four newcomers refer to the four of them. Xu Tuoran and Pu Han were in the initial group F, and now they are promoted to the U group; the other two are in the initial U group, and have not changed since the first exam. Judging from the information currently available, there are no other newcomers.

"That's not clear. Maybe it's because you tend to be 'omniscient', so you were targeted?" Xu Tuoran said, "Or can you find a better explanation?"

...That's not true for the time being.

But in this way, the significance of the existence of this mechanism is another question worth exploring.

Pu Han hissed, and raised his hand to scratch his hair again: "That is to say, our current situation is actually similar to... eh, what is the story called..."

He got stuck for a moment, and the other two had already understood it. At exactly the same time, Pu Han himself remembered—

Pu Han: "'Twenty-Four Billys'."

Girl with short hair: ""Fatal ID"."

Tall man: ""Overbearing Sweet Love: Double Enchantment"..."

After the words fell, the other two looked over condemningly. The tall man was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but whispered: "Why are you staring at me? Dare you say you haven't read it? How many books did you read in the rental bookstore in junior high school under the pretext of helping Feifei return books..."

"Okay, don't mention this kind of old sesame seeds and rotten millet anymore." Pu Han waved his hands pretending to be calm, as if not long ago the psychopath who desperately exposed his old background to prove his identity was not himself. Turning his head, he saw Xu Tuoran showing a thoughtful expression.

"I know the movie "Fatal ID". I heard Zhu Tang mention it about multiple personalities." Xu Tuoran frowned, ""Twenty-Four Billy", what is that?"

"It's a documentary novel, and it also focuses on multiple personalities." Pu Han explained, "The protagonist is Billy, and there are as many as twenty-four split personalities in his body. And these personalities include males and females. They are very different from their identities, and each of them even has their own interests, life experiences, and things they are good at, and some even have different accents and nationalities..."

...?

Xu Tuoran paused for a moment, and suddenly stopped: "Wait a minute, what do you mean by 'separate life experience'?"

"That is, they will have their own independent past." Pu Han said, "Or, they believe in their own past."

Xu Tuoran: "..."

"The past I believed in." She murmured these words, and her heart suddenly moved.

She thought of the "trainees" she had come into contact with when she was in the F group dormitory.

Different experiences, but gathered in the same place. Inexplicably working towards the same goal...

Then contact the program name of "Merge, Family", a strange guess suddenly popped up in Xu Tuoran's mind.

Apparently the tall man had also thought of something with her, and his face changed instantly.

"Is there a possibility that what we are now is equivalent to another "Fatal ID" set?" He said cautiously, "It's just different from the movie. The way to unify the personality here is not by killing each other, but by killing each other." Yes…"

"It's about choosing the right 'fragments' and putting them back together." Xu Tuoran said lightly, and suddenly raised his eyes.

"That's the so-called 'debut in a group'."
