What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?

Jiang Lin saw Jiang Lin when he was preparing for afternoon tea.

At that time, she had just opened a can of finger biscuits, and before she had time to take a bite, she saw a small eye suddenly appear on the back of her hand.

It took her a while to confirm that the eye was the long-lost fragment of omniscience, Jiang Lin who was supposed to wake up first five years ago. As for the question raised by the other party, Jiang Lin was not surprised.

After all, with such a big wall built by Jiang Lin, it's no wonder others don't look for him.

The only thing she cared about was that Jiang Lin was assigned the ability of omniscience. It stands to reason that he could directly perceive the location of the other three. That being the case, why should he ask himself?

You can't just find an opportunity to scold Jiang Lin for being an idiot, right? Although it is true.

As if seeing what she was thinking, Jiang Lin said lightly: "The only fragment I can perceive now is you. The other two, I can't touch their location."

That is to say, it cannot be perceived?

Jiang Lin's eyes became more serious, and after careful recollection, he said in a deep voice: "I just remember that he came to me before and told me that he had thought of a way to make up for his mistakes. It was about ten days ago .

"Later, Jiang Lin also came to see me once, asking about Jiang Lin's situation. I passed on Jiang Lin's words to her."

After that, she never saw the two of them again.

"..." Jiang Lin was silent for a moment, his small eyes blinked slightly, "Make up for the mistake?"

"It's the wall in the Path of Chaos." Jiang Lin sighed, his eyes turned back and forth between Jiang Lin and the opened biscuit jar, "Jiang Lin built that wall."

"I know. I've 'seen' all of this part." Jiang Lin said, his tone sank, "I'm sorry, I want to ask again, who told him to trouble Xing Xing?"

"...He has always been more thoughtful." Jiang Lin said tactfully.

It's not that he deliberately spoke for Jiang Lin, but Jiang Lin is not in a good mood now. She didn't need to pick his emotions further.

As for Jiang Lin's whereabouts, she really didn't know. That's all there is to know.

Jiang Linmo was silent for a while, but said softly: "Thank you for your answer. I think I know where the two of them are now."

Admiral: "...?"

"The Path of Chaos is blocked. If you want to get the corresponding starlight, you can only break through the ice wall by force, and you can only start from the wilderness of beasts." Jiang Lin said slowly, "However, we are naturally repelled by the tendency of beasts. It is impossible to enter .”

Not only that, but it is quite difficult for them to possess an ability user with the corresponding ability.

But if you have a part of the power from the stars themselves, the situation will be different.

"The current star is not complete, and we can't do anything from her. If you want to gain something, the only place Jiang Lin can go is the altar where the star used to be. There will probably be some remnants there." Jiang Lin's small yellow eyes rolled Quan, "If he can think of this, he is not too stupid."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, considering the current situation where both Jiang Lin and Jiang Lin lost contact, he was not sure about his evaluation.

There is no doubt that they should have been forced to stay there by some means. The altar of the stars and its surroundings formed a domain of its own, and he couldn't perceive the things inside, which made sense.

The question is, why are they stuck there? There should be no one to take care of it.

Jiang Lin lowered his eyes, turned his thoughts a few times, and finally said firmly: "No matter what, people still have to try to get it back."

Jiang Lin was pulling out a finger biscuit from the jar, and he couldn't help but pause when he heard this. Jiang Lin took a deep look at her and sighed: "I didn't tell you to go."

"Oh, okay." Jiang Linan breathed a sigh of relief, put the finger biscuit into his mouth, and tried his best to make his gratitude not so obvious.

Jiang Lin didn't bother to expose her, so he just continued on his own: "The situation in that place is unknown, so if you approach it rashly, if you also get in, then the loss outweighs the gain."

"Understood." Jiang Lin didn't care about anything, just nodded and finished, then frowned, "Then what are you going to do about that place..."

"Split body." Jiang Lin said quietly, "Let my split body parasitize human beings. Use them to spy on the situation of the altar."

The split body can not only collect information, but also control the parasite in real time after the parasite reaches a certain depth. As long as you don't encounter a thorny head like Pu Han again, the probability of overturning can be said to be very low.

When Jiang Lin heard the words, his expression became somewhat subtle.

"Split body..." She lowered her eyes, looked at the small eyeballs on the back of her hand, and quickly looked away in a concealed manner.

"Split body...you need to separate your own strength, right?" She rubbed the biscuit crumbs on her hands, trying to make her expression more tactful, "You... you, maybe, are not suitable right now?"

She has already looked at the small circle several times now, and she is worried that she will need a magnifying glass next time.

Jiang Lin: "..."

"I'm sorry, but I think I know better than you about my own situation." Jiang Lin said indifferently, "Since I dare to send out the split bodies, it is naturally because I am confident that I have absolute control over them. You may not understand, but The increase in splits actually helps to enhance my individual strength."

God's Grant of King's Power·Emperor Learning—this is the second skill held by Jiang Lin.

This skill allows him to master the ability he "sees" from others in a short period of time. The actual skill effect depends on his personal level and strength. If it is the omniscient tendency ability, he can also get the bonus of this department when using it.

But this skill is also quite troublesome. It is him alone, and at the same time, the skills he can learn are limited. If you want to master new abilities, you must discard old skills to make room.

If there is a split body, it will be different. He can learn new skills through splitting, and he doesn't need to consider the upper limit of the skill bar at all.

Therefore, when he first escaped to reality, he had already made a decision—since he couldn't recall all his power back to himself for the time being, he should simply send out more fragments. Allowing them to come into contact with abominations and ability users can be regarded as strengthening themselves from another aspect. If there is a crisis, I also have more options to transfer.

"...Okay." Jiang Lin said a long list, but actually Jiang Lin didn't listen carefully, he just figured out the limitations of his own skills.

But she didn't say much, just nodded cooperatively. Anyway, it's your own strength that is divided, so do whatever you like, as long as you are happy.

Jiang Lin saw her perfunctory, gave her a cold look, and didn't want to explain anything. Two seconds later, he suddenly changed his subject:

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, Jiang Lin's idea is indeed very good."

Jiang Lin bit down the biscuit again, and the ending sound slightly raised: "What?"

"That way of thinking. The way of extracting Xinghui from the beast's tendency." Jiang Lin blinked slowly, and his voice seemed to have a little smile on it.

Jiang Lin hesitantly put the biscuit into his mouth, making a crunching sound. There was some thought on his face.

She is reluctant to ask questions about the Omniscient Fragment unless necessary. This guy Jiang Lin always spoke with a bit of pretended gentleness, but he couldn't hide the arrogance in his attitude. So although she was polite to him, she didn't like him very much.

However, Jiang Lin seemed to see her entanglement, and said proactively: "As I said before, if you want to enter the beast tendency, you need the power from the stars themselves."

"That's right. But you're not saying that you can't rush to the altar right now..." Jiang Lin said, his gaze unintentionally swept over the back of his hand, and his gaze suddenly stopped.

I saw that the eyeballs on the back of her hand had been turned upside down at some point—the yellow pupils were turned back, revealing the back side that was covered with bloodshot and meridians. However, the back of the eyeball is not only the white of the eye.

— But seeing that eyeball, there is a thin layer of colorful light lingering.

Jiang Lin couldn't help but stagnate, and subconsciously stretched out his hand towards the colorful light, but stopped as if waking up from a dream, then grabbed two finger biscuits from the side in a little haste, and stuffed them into his mouth.

"...that's the light of the stars." She didn't speak again until she swallowed the food in her mouth, "How did you..."

"When this world in a box was first formed, the chaotic power had not been sorted out, and it was scattered everywhere. I happened to retain some consciousness at the time, so I took some of it away." Jiang Lin said lightly, "But the amount I got back then was very small. Little, it won’t be of much use, so I haven’t told you all about it.”

...Do you think it is useless, or do you want to keep it for yourself?

Jiang Lin glanced at him silently, instead of continuing to dwell on this topic, he asked instead: "You just said, 'before'?"

"Well. During the time I was trapped, I got something new." The eyeballs on the back of the hand rolled again, and the yellow pupils returned to the center of the eye sockets, and they were turning like adjustments. "At that time, because of Yu's special mechanism, the stars A more raw part of her was stripped away. I took this opportunity to scrape some more from her."

This is called coming and going. Although if you really want to say it, the other party stole more from him.

"The amount is still limited. But it should be enough to cover me from entering the Wilderness of Beasts." Jiang Lin concluded, "The next step is to find a suitable body...um."

Speaking of this, he felt a little depressed. When he first escaped from the domain, he had already found a body. As a result, when he was trying to parasitize that guy named Pu Han, he accidentally lost his hand, and made the other party notice his own location. He wasn't sure how much the other party had "seen", so to be on the safe side, he had to commit suicide immediately before other capable users came over.

Although according to the current thinking, he originally wanted to change his body. But being forced to change and taking the initiative to change, the feeling is always different.

The good news is that with this layer of color light as a cover, he has more choices. It would be best to pick an all-knowing plus beast...

Jiang Lin made up his mind, blinked at Jiang Lin again, said "Excuse me" softly, and disappeared without a trace.

Jianglin was the only one left. He touched the back of his hand that was starting to heal automatically, pursed his lips with some dissatisfaction, and took out a biscuit again, chewing it with a crackling sound.

at the same time.

Xu Tuoran's residence.

The upstairs room has been covered by domains, but the living room is still the same. Xu Tuoran was sitting at the edge of the dining table, biting a piece of caterpillar bread while nodding to his phone.

"Well... yes, that's what I mean. I know that the beast tendencies are safe, but I still suggest that you can pay attention to it for a while..."

"The source of the news? Uh...Jiang Siyu, you know, right? The old man Jiang is his granddaughter. I just came out of her domain, and this information was also brought from it."

"Yeah, okay. I'm sorry to trouble you. If there is something to do with Pu Han, please contact me more."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Tuoran let out a long breath, held up the caterpillar bread in front of him, and took a full bite.

A systematic voice sounded in my mind, with a confused tone: "I still don't quite understand. How did you come to this conclusion?"

Not long ago, it was talking to Xu Tuoran about the fragments of the stars. This guy suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked without thinking—"Is there a way for those fragments to enter the upgrade space of the beast tendency?"

The system can understand why she asked such a question. After all, when looking through Xu Tuoran's memory before, it was shocked by the operation that the other party directly blocked the other party's entire tendency when they disagreed with each other.

Of course, this operation is not difficult to understand. After all, the upgrade space originally existed because of her order, but...

Your house is really on the opposite side.

Substituting the perspective of the star fragments, there is really no other way except to gather strength to push the wall and change the tendency of the beast. Although the latter is relatively impossible, the system still gave an honest answer.

And Xu Tuoran, after hearing the answer "They should need some of your strength", his eyes suddenly changed. Then I saw her get up and leave the domain, and went to the living room to make a phone call.

While playing, I also added a meal by the way.

Seeing her call one by one, reminding the other party to pay attention to high-level ability users with beast tendencies and abominations with the same tendencies in the near future, the system was full of question marks, and it was not until Xu Tuoran ended the last call that he asked a question.

Xu Tuoran wiped the cream on his hands, and said as a matter of course: "Didn't you say that with my power, they could run away from beasts?"

system:"?"

"After I left Jiang Siyu's domain, didn't that beautiful girl...that is, the one who split off from me, return automatically?" Xu Tuoran shrugged, "After she returned, I also inherited her status in the domain." memory."

Most of them are still kind of nauseating. After all, this girl spent most of her time in the domain hunting for food.

However, there are still some contents in it that make Xu Tuoran a little concerned.

For example, she once saw through the perspective of the girl in the black skirt that the big orange cat, or the omniscient worm, had shown her a ball of colored light hidden in her body when she lured the black skirt into the woods.

Xu Tuoran has seen similar colored lights in three places. One is in the depths of the camphor forest, the other is in the road behind the Chen level of the natural disaster cemetery, and the last one is just formed, in its own domain.

The armchair isolated on the ice surface is decorated with similar colored light on the hollow back of the chair.

And these three places, judging from the current intelligence, are closely related to him. The system also said that from the beginning of the long night, she herself called it Colored Light.

Does that mean that this kind of brilliance is a symbol of one's own strength?

If this is the case, then the light hidden by the big orange cat is worthy of vigilance.

Of course, these are all guesses. But at this time, it is always right to be vigilant, so Xu Tuoran tried his best to contact all the high-level people he knew.

Except for Yang Buqi and Pu Han, the high-ranking people she knew were basically met in the camphor forest. Before everyone separated, they deliberately left each other's contact information - to be precise, it was Xu Tuoran who left his number for everyone.

After all, everyone else has been trapped for five years, and it's hard to say whether the number was recovered after they got out. And the other people are also very good, after handling the new phone, they all specially sent a copy to Xu Tuoran. Shangguan Qi also created a group.

However, out of caution, Xu Tuoran still prefers to communicate by phone. Assuming her guess is true, then these people who have left the camphor forest are not absolutely safe. The way of verbal communication will not be noticed by the all-knowing split, which is relatively safer, and if there is something wrong with the other party, they may be able to detect something during the conversation.

In addition to reminding others to pay attention to the tendency of beasts, Xu Tuoran also relayed the information collected by Pu Han one by one. It is specially emphasized that if you encounter a suspicious person, don't look at each other, and quickly block the other person's vision. After making a round of phone calls, the group rang a few times. When I clicked on it, Principal Shangguan had sent the rune of restraint and omniscience to the group, along with a drawing tutorial.

The response in the group was extremely fast, and some people even spontaneously organized a rune self-inspection activity, and some people made an appointment to go to the camphor forest group building together when they were free—after all, everyone is not stupid, what Xu Tuoran said just now meant, probably Can also guess some.

Seeing that they had spontaneously discussed, Xu Tueran didn't bother, turned around and walked upstairs. The domain in the bedroom is still operating on its own, and there is a previously opened notebook on the table. Xu Tuoran stepped forward, stared at the line "Educator's Projection" above for a moment, then slowly moved away, and landed on the word "Ritual".

"Let's talk about the ceremony." She said, and sat back on the chair, reaching out to catch the little pink flower that rushed over, "Do I have to finish that?"

"At present, yes." The system replied, "If not, you will not be able to achieve true awakening, nor will you be able to regain the power of the long night."

Xu Tuoran frowned: "A real awakening?"

System: "Remember the self, perceive the self."

Xu Tuoran was still puzzled: "But I already know who I am now?"

"You don't know." The system's tone became serious, "You just have this idea."

It's like a person who is suddenly told by others that you are a cat. Of course he can choose to accept this statement, but this does not mean that he has really become a cat, nor does it mean that he can have the same experience as a cat from now on. Ability.

Complete memories, and accurate self-knowledge, can only be retrieved through rituals. This was something Xu Tuoran had decided on himself.

Xu Tuoran: "..."

"Confirmed, my brain may not be very good at that time." She sighed, raised her hand and patted her forehead, "You said before, how can the ceremony be completed? Have you lived the original owner's life? You don't want to Will you let me find Qu Mian to fall in love now?"

Please, I'm a senior in high school.

System: "...If you don't complete the ceremony, let alone the third year of high school, he won't even have the first seven in the future."

They all turned into nothingness directly, and they lived a ghostly seven.

Xu Turan: ...

"Wait." After thinking about it again, she suddenly felt something was wrong, "So you mean, I should pursue Qu Mian now, right?"

"Not only chasing him, but also other things..." The system said slowly, "After all, the original owner's life trajectory is not just chasing him, you have to at least be roughly similar..."

"But the problem is, aren't these things that should happen after Qu Mian and Fang Xing go to college a year later?" Xu Tuoran sat up straight suddenly, "If you ask me to do it now, won't there be a problem? What's the problem?"

"It's not bad." The system paused, and said truthfully, "As I said, as long as it is roughly similar."

In fact, if it hadn't been dragged away by the mysterious force, it originally planned to arrange for Xu Tuoran to complete the ceremony ahead of schedule. The sooner it is done, the better for her.

One-sided pursuit of the male lead, alienation between the male lead and the female lead, offending the hidden boss and the indescribable existence, and finally facing the fear of death brought by the indescribable existence... As long as these things can be done, it is actually the same can complete the ceremony.

Well, although it was originally planned to be indescribable, if it really happens now, it probably won't be able to withstand Xu Tuoran's ice shuttle.

Just like writing short-answer questions for a human exam, as long as the key points are correct, even if the content filled in the middle is outrageous, it is possible to get full marks—and now, the system does not expect Xu Tuoran to copy the life of the original owner, but at least You have to step on the points, right?

"That is to say, if I look at the original owner's life in a book, I actually only need to complete a few key plots in it. Time is second to none." Xu Tuoran pursed his lips, his face pondering. After getting an affirmative answer from the system, he asked again, "What about the specific content of these key plots? Do I have to follow suit?"

"The timeline has changed, and it is impossible to follow it completely." The system said, "In short, as long as your actions can have similar effects on yourself and related personnel as the original plot, it should be fine."

Xu Tuoran raised his hand and touched the slender ears hanging from his head, thoughtfully: "That is to say, I can play by myself?"

system:"…"

For some reason, at this moment, it suddenly felt a subtle sense of unease in its heart—it faintly felt that it seemed that it had said something that shouldn't be said just now, but it couldn't be sure for a moment.

After a brief silence, it finally suppressed the subtle sense of unease, and responded in a low voice: "Yes."

As soon as the words fell, the slender ears on Xu Turan's head pricked up, and the little pink flower that was lying on Xu Turan's head was lifted off.

Not only that, but they shook very happily a few times.

system:"…"

"Looking" at those cheerfully trembling ears, it became more and more sure of its previous guess.

It's over.

I must have said something that shouldn't have been said just now.

Another two hours later.

in another city. Fang Xing, who had just finished a set of papers, stretched, took out the phone that was locked in the box, and pressed it casually.

The phone screen lit up, and several WeChat messages popped up one after another on the background image filled with inspirational quotes. Before he had time to see the content clearly, Fang Xing was the first to be attracted by the sender.

She was quite pleasantly surprised to find that the news came from a roommate she met in "Dahuaihua Middle School" - when she was sent out of that ghost school, she exchanged contact with him and several other people she knew in the school Way. After I came out, although I successfully added the other party’s WeChat account, I didn’t actually chat much. The last record was still on her thank you and the other party’s reply.

But now, the other party took the initiative to send her a message, this realization made Fang Xing a little excited. Although such a metaphor is a bit strange, she does have a feeling that she is suddenly flopped by a star she likes...

She tried her best to restrain the corners of her mouth from rising, and looked down at the screen carefully. After seeing the content of several messages, the corners of his mouth slowly retracted.

The first message is, make a deal?

The second piece of information is that I have review handouts compiled by X school's top teachers, as well as private teaching resources.

The third piece of information is, insist on not contacting Qu Mian for two weeks, these are yours.

Fang Xing: ...?

Fang Xing: ...

Turning his head to think for a moment, Fang Xing picked up the phone decisively, found Qu Mian's account, pulled the blacklist without hesitation, and took a screenshot after pulling it out, and sent it to Xu Tuoran.

Fang Xing: [deal. 】
