What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?

If you put everything together, the conclusion is obvious.

According to the original plot, at this time, Renxinyuan is still focusing its main efforts on hunting down the dancing shadow and rescuing the companions trapped in the Plum Blossom Apartment. But now—

Dancing Shadow has been arrested again, and all members of Plum Blossom Apartment have been rescued. Although the relevant abominations are still being investigated, manpower and energy have been liberated a lot compared to before.

The liberated ability users will naturally deal with other abominations. And the pure love that was supposed to wait until a year later to reappear in the world was caught out in advance.

It's all sealed.

The system that sorted out this point fell into a state of being unlovable, and Xu Tuoran was also a little helpless. The good news is that after the conversation with the man in the windbreaker, the two points of "getting advice but ignoring it" and "obtaining the purest love report" have been completed in a rather weird way.

The so-called suggestion naturally refers to the part of persuading Xu Tuoran to "don't elope". The death value system gave a little death value to save face, and she passed.

There was nothing to do, except to ignore her.

As for "Pure Love", because the man in the windbreaker belongs to the Tzu Chi Institute, his knowledge is limited. Xu Tuoran couldn't find out anything else. After she went back, she asked about the Pen of the Immortal Pen, but she didn't get any useful answer—this sworn pen was a defensive rune outside the containment area, which affected its performance.

Pu Han is too busy to take care of himself now, and Xu Tuoran doesn't want to disturb him unless it is absolutely necessary. After a little bit of confusion, she contacted the high-level ability user she believed in after returning home, and anonymously posted the question on the employee-only forum of the Jiang Family Taobao Store. After waiting for two days, there was still no news.

It wasn't until a few days later, when Su Sui'er joined their small group of capable users, that this matter finally made progress.

Su Sui'er has a single war tendency, but it is low-level and relatively safe. But she was able to join the group because of her own actions - because of Su Mai's matter, after leaving the camphor forest, everyone had a lot of contact with her, and this girl was quite alert, combined with Yang Buqi's publicized action track and Fang But the fact that they and Yang Buqi had intersected directly locked on the Greenland Park connected to the camphor forest, and ran over there without making a sound.

As a result of her own investigation, she was also trapped in the camphor forest. Fortunately, there was Su Mai taking care of him inside, and he sent him out again dumbfounded. In this way, Su Sui'er can be regarded as a person who has passed the quality inspection of the camphor forest, and has also learned the truth to a certain extent. After everyone made up their minds, they simply let her join the small group.

The addition of Su Sui'er made up for their intelligence vacancy in the Renxinyuan. In addition, she also has a high degree of affection for Xu Tuoran. After learning about Xu Tuoran's needs, she didn't ask much, and directly said to help her find out. After inquiring for more than a week, I finally gave the result.

Of course, during the week of waiting for the news, Xu Turan was not idle. Pu Han focused on fighting wits and bravery with the all-knowing iron nematode split body, and there would be news about every two or three days, giving a piece of information related to the split body, some of which were names, and some were locations or locations. Personal characteristics. Xu Turan would use the Pen of the Immortals or the employee forum of the Taobao store to locate a more accurate location, try to catch the person, and then hand it over to other capable people to find an excuse to send him to the camphor forest.

In fact, at the beginning, Xu Tuoran still thought that if Jiang Siyu's domain could enter now, that would be the best choice. After all, the mechanism of the domain itself can be used to strip off the parasitic split. But the Jiang family has now completely sealed off the domain, and they are under a lot of pressure, so they finally decided to send it to the camphor forest for a try.

The real reason for Xu Tuoran and the others to decide on this process is that Fang Ke came back to convey the words after delivering the first parasitic object.

"The **** bear over there asked me to tell you that next time you meet one like this, you can send it over." Fang Ke said so at the time, with a slightly confused face while speaking, "He said that the size was cut just right, That place can just be absorbed...he said you know what that means."

Xu Turan: ...

Does that place refer to the underwater altar?

Either way, it's always good to be able to deal with splits. In this way, the entire split processing line can be regarded as completed.

It wasn't until Su Sui'er gave the information that Xu Tuoran turned his attention to "Pure Love".

According to Su Sui'er, Pure Love is currently housed in a single office building in the outskirts—Renxin Yuan has built a whole building there, which is specially used to house the sealed abominations.

Apart from the guards, there are no other guards in that place, only capable people will be sent over to check on a regular basis—but this does not mean that the defense there is loose.

"Do you know the Shadow of the Mad Dance? It was originally taken in by the Renxinyuan, but it was guarded and stolen by a capable person." Su Sui'er's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Since then, the Renxinyuan has been committed to developing new form of safekeeping. Pure Love is one of the abominations practicing the new method of containment."

The new storage method no longer relies on the supervision of capable persons, but uses rules and runes to extract part of the power of the abomination, forming a two-way defense area around the sealed abomination.

This area prevents both the escape of the abomination and the intrusion of outsiders. The most important thing is that this defensive circle is somewhat aggressive, and if the entrants use their abilities to resist or try to block the operation, the Renxinyuan will directly receive a warning.

In other words, after the past, if you don't want to be discovered, you have to not use any abilities.

As for the more specific mechanism, it's not that Su Sui'er didn't inquire about it, but due to the confidentiality rules, she couldn't reveal more—the confidentiality rules for capable users are not just a written agreement.

Xu Tuoran didn't make things difficult for her, and after earnestly thanking her, he left the house with two stone spears - not being able to use ability to defend oneself does not mean that one cannot use weapons.

The system hesitated several times, but finally couldn't help but said: "You should know that this plot requires 'you are in crisis', not 'you put others in crisis', right?"

"Don't worry, I know what's going on. It's just to scare them, and they won't really kill anyone." Xu Tuoran said it as a matter of course, called a car, and drove over directly.

The office building Su Suier mentioned was located inside a small factory area. The gate of the factory area is closed, and through the crack of the door, one can feel the desolate atmosphere inside—obviously, this place has been left unused.

Although there is no one in the factory area, there are people guarding the gate carefully. Xu Turan took out the fox ornament that hadn't been used for a long time, used its invisibility effect, sneaked to the side of the guard, went through the window, and entered the factory directly from the guard.

After sneaking in, you can feel the dead silence inside. The office building stood alone in a corner of the factory area, and there were many runes painted on the surrounding ground. Xu Tuoran stepped in carrying the piano case, and the gloomy atmosphere in the office building almost rushed towards his face.

...but that's all.

The crisis prediction in her mind didn't even ring.

Xu Tuoran felt a little relaxed, carrying the piano case, and under the curious gaze of countless eyes on the wall, walked up the stairs, layer by layer—according to Su Sui'er, each floor here is specially sealed. an abomination. On the same level as the abomination, there is a defensive circle formed by its power.

And this defensive circle will reflect the past ability characteristics of the abomination, or in other words, it is a weakened domain.

Xu Tuoran quickly realized this.

She climbed up the stairs, and as the floors changed, what she saw in front of her eyes kept changing. The walls on the first floor are covered with eyeballs, and the ground on the second floor is covered with black feathers. A huge sheep's head hangs from the ceiling on the third floor, and the fourth floor has been changed from a sheep's head to a beautiful vine. Luscious and plump bunches of grapes hang down, smelling fragrant, but if you really want to reach out to pick them, you will find that all the grapes are blinking at you.

The most unique is the fifth floor. There were a few board game cards lying on the ground, Xu Tuoran picked one up curiously, and saw an acquaintance in the next second——

A black shadow with slender hands and feet danced and ran from the other end of the corridor, as fast as a sprint.

…Then the moment he saw Xu Tuoran clearly, he turned around as if nothing had happened, and continued to run back dancing.

It disappeared at the end of the corridor in a blink of an eye, as if a flash had opened.

Xu Turan: ...

She didn't care too much, turned around and continued upstairs.

And the upper floor is the floor of pure love.

different from other layers. At first glance, it's clean and there's nothing weird about it. Xu Tuoran tried to take a few steps forward, but heard strange noises from the surrounding rooms.

Grinding, sticky, wheezing. As she gradually deepened, the original ordinary office building corridor gradually deformed and stretched into a long straight corridor with no end, and several windows were added on both sides. Some people walked through the windows, showing handsome or glamorous face.

They would even take the initiative to open the door, standing in the door frame and beckoning to Xu Furan, their fingers exuding a strange fragrance almost wiped her face.

"Pure love?" Xu Furan walked forward without changing his face, complaining all the way, "It doesn't look pure at all."

"...It's just fishing for law enforcement. Just ignore it." The system mumbled, Xu Turan seemed to hear it, and it muttered "immoral" again.

Xu Tuoran pursed his lips and continued walking forward. It stands to reason that the real place of pure love is at the end of the corridor—but not far away, her ears suddenly moved again.

"Strange." She stopped suddenly, "There was a sound of the door opening."

"It's not surprising." The system said, "So many people opened the door and came out."

"No, no, it's different." Xu Tuoran said immediately, looking around while talking, "That voice sounds like picking a lock, instead of opening it directly...?"

Before she finished speaking, her pocket suddenly moved. Little Fenhua poked her head out from inside, as if she had sensed something, she grabbed Xu Tuoran's corner violently, climbed up along her clothes, sat on her shoulder, and pointed backward desperately.

Xu Tuoran: "...?"

She turned her head following the point of the little pink flower, and saw another door open behind her. A familiar figure cautiously opened the door and probed. After seeing Xu Tu, he was obviously taken aback.

"Xu Tuoran?" The man opened his mouth slightly, and it took him a while to find his voice. He sped up his movements and came out from behind the door, revealing his complete and healthy legs—straight and slender, but for some reason, he was wearing down pants out of season. It looks a little bloated.

"Uh, hello?" Facing Xu Tueran's quiet eyes, the man smiled awkwardly, looked back again, and his expression became a little subtle, "Where is this place? Are you doing tasks in a nightclub?"

Xu Tuoran: "..."

She took a step forward slowly, and finally said, "Yang Buqi?"

"Well, it's me. I—!" Before Yang Buqi finished speaking, he suddenly tilted his head, narrowly avoiding the stone spear piercing his head. He looked at Xu Tuoran puzzled, but the latter didn't want to explain at all, he just raised his chin at him, "Touch it."

"..." Yang Buqi didn't know why, but he touched it anyway. Xu Tuoran's eyes fell on his right arm, which was lacking in sleeves, his eyes flickered, and then he looked at Xiaohua on his shoulder: "Are you sure? Really your father?"

Xiao Fenhua nodded immediately, like a chicken pecking at rice.

Only then did Xu Tueran put the stone spear back, stared at the other side for a while, and suddenly pursed his lips: "Why are you here?"

"This... I'm actually not very clear about this..." Yang Buqi rubbed his forehead and murmured, "Before, just that night, I was pulled away by a very powerful force. Since then, I have been jumping around in various scenes …I don’t know what the pattern is, but I did, and I saw something. And in the process, my legs also gradually recovered…”

He pulled the down pants on his legs and smiled awkwardly: "I took these in a certain scene. There are no summer clothes there..."

He seemed a little nervous, or maybe he held it in for too long, and his words were a little confused. Xu Tuoran was not in a hurry, he just listened quietly and nodded patiently: "Well, what then?"

"Then..." Yang Buqi paused, his expression suddenly became quiet.

"Then I thought, I should come back to you. I have to come back." He said softly, "After that, I came here."

He hadn't even had time to find a pair of shoes for himself. Under the bloated down pants, there is a pair of bare feet.

He always felt that he was not so decent, and he was a little frustrated in his heart. Why didn't it come to a better time, at least to find a decent dress for himself; Trying to calm down, the chest is still full of noise.

He wanted to tell Xu Tuoran what he saw, about the stars, about encounters, about rabbits, and more important things. But the brain is like a broken computer infected with joy virus, it is difficult to run any programs, only the three big characters "Xu Tuoran" repeatedly float on the screen.

Yang Buqi closed his eyes, tried his best to adjust his breathing, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw Xu Tuoran walking towards him.

"Your arm. Is it okay?" she asked softly.

Yang Buqi was stunned for a moment, nodded hurriedly, and raised his right arm, but Xu Tuoran grabbed his wrist.

The next moment, in his stunned gaze, he saw Xu Tuoran leaning towards him, with his forehead lightly resting on his shoulder.

"It's fine." She muffled, "Welcome back."

Yang Buqi: …

It might be a bit in love to think like this—but at that moment, he really felt that other things were not that important.

At least it's not so important that I have to say it now... There is no rush at this moment.

Yang Buqi thought silently, and amidst the heartbeat that shook his eardrums, he slowly raised his left hand, and carefully put it around Xu Tuoran's shoulder.

But at the moment when he was about to touch it, Xu Tuoran raised his head again.

"Quick." She said concisely and solemnly, "dump me."

Yang Buqi: "...?"

? ? ? !

The brain froze instantly. However, before he could react, something that surprised him even more happened——

I saw him and Xu Tuoran starting to disappear inch by inch at a very fast speed.

Pure love.

A level abomination, always inclined towards daytime. Once lived in a romance bookstore, and then relied on the Internet to find prey. It will disguise itself as a romance book, influence the readers, and obtain their emotions and blood to nourish itself. Because of its relatively low-key behavior, in the original plot, it was not completely exposed to the vision of the capable person until it was killed in order to hit the Hui class.

The reason why it is called "pure love" is also very simple. Because this abomination has formed the concept of "pure love" in the long-term hunting, and believes in it.

Even therefore, all actions that are not pure enough will be punished.

…like hugs.

Another example is any physical contact similar to "hug".

Xu Tuoran: "..."

Xu Tuoran: "So, its so-called punishment is to erase the body of the offender?"

"To be precise, it's 'shielding'. But this shielding is only in a psychological sense. Similar to the invisibility function of the eternal day fox. Pure love, in its view, keeping a head is enough." The system said, " But compared to being screened, what is worse is actually being locked in a small black room."

Found.

Xu Tuoran raised his eyelids, looked at the space he was in, and curled his lips rather speechlessly.

Now she has nothing below her neck. There is only one head connected to the neck left in the whole person - in terms of appearance, it looks very much like the legendary monster Flying Head Man.

And not long ago, almost at the moment when her body completely disappeared, she was moved from the corridor to this room by a mysterious force.

The room is moderate in size, about forty square meters, and brightly lit. From the ceiling to the floor, including the four walls, are all dazzling pure white. Even so, Xu Tuoran still matched it with the "little black room" that the system called.

The room is not without exits. On Xu Turan's left and right walls, there is a pure white door, above which are carefully marked "Entrance" and "Exit" - the problem is, she can't go through.

Xu Tuoran was completely unable to perceive his body that was forcibly concealed. The surviving head seemed to be forced on a transparent pillar, and it was quite difficult to even turn it. The only movements that could be done were blinking and talking.

Xu Tuoran: "... You didn't know to tell me about this crazy punishment mechanism?"

"I didn't expect you to be imprisoned in a small dark room. I mentioned it before, that thing can fish for law enforcement." The system's tone weakened, "And I told you to let go as soon as I saw you hugging it, and you also Didn't listen."

Xu Tuoran: "That's not because I don't know..."

"What's more, I have a premonition." The system said quietly, "Even if you know, after seeing Yang Buqi, you will still hug him."

Maybe you have to hug her even tighter, the kind that hangs the word "provocative" directly on top of her head.

Xu Turan: ...

gab. Am I that kind of person.

Speaking of Yang Buqi, he is also in this room. Like Xu Tuoran, only a bald head remained. And I don't know if it was intentional by that "Pure Love", but Yang Buqi's location is far away from her, in the corner of the room. And it was still facing the corner of the wall—Xu Tuoran watched him turn his neck with difficulty, but he couldn't turn his head around, so he couldn't help but persuade him:

"Okay, don't move yet. In this situation, the head is facing almost anywhere."

"Are you okay?" Hearing her voice, Yang Buqi seemed relieved, and asked about Xu Tuoran's condition again. Xu Tuoran responded casually, glanced across the pure white floor, and suddenly said, "Yang Buqi, can you make Xiao Fenhua perceive you without using your abilities?"

"?" Yang Buqi was stunned for a moment, "What?"

Xu Tuoran briefly told him about the alarm mechanism of this place, and then said: "Little Fenhua is outside now. I want to see if I can let her in to help. I remember that it can find you by instinct, right? "

When she found that her body was starting to disappear, her first reaction was to worry about her pants. After discovering that the clothes disappeared together with the body, he packed everything on the body and threw it on the ground as quickly as possible—including the little pink flower.

In Xu Tuoran's memory, the objects after leaving the body did not disappear. However, they are not in this room now. The only possibility is that they were thrown outside.

And this room has entrances and exits. Maybe these two doors are connecting with the previous space.

"Hmm..." Yang Buqi pondered for a moment, "You wait for me to try."

After finishing speaking, I saw him bite down hard with his teeth, and stick out his **** tongue again. Without self-healing activated, the blood seeped quickly, and not long after, I heard a slight knocking sound from the entrance door.

Xu Tuoran hurriedly uttered a few words, and the knocking outside stopped. After a while, the doorknob turned again, and the door swung inward, revealing the small pink flowers hanging on the doorknob, and the two The mobile phone between the roots.

"Smart kid." Xu Tuoran was a little surprised when he saw that it knew how to bring the phone, but unfortunately it was useless—she has no hands now.

Little Fenhua threw the phone to the ground lightly, shook her little flower happily, then jumped to the ground again, pushed the phone, and ran towards Xu Tuoran.

Seeing this, Xu Turan hurriedly stopped: "Don't, don't give it to me. I can't use it right now—can you operate this thing? Can you send me a message?"

She had just asked, and even the system didn't know the way to get out of the current predicament. But this is not a real domain after all, it is just a protective layer formed by using the power of the abomination itself, so it will not be a dead end.

So Xu Tuoran decided to ask Su Sui'er for help remotely.

...However, Xiao Fenhua was stunned when she heard the words.

It stopped, looked down at the phone screen, then looked up at Xu Tuoran, tilted its head, and fell silent.

"Send a message, do you understand? Send it to Fang Ke—hey, are you listening?" Xu Tuoran looked at the little pink flower with drooping leaves and motionless, with an ominous premonition in his heart, "Yang Buqi, why don't you Come and talk to it?"

"...I say it's probably useless." Yang Buqi choked, facing the corner, "I think it may not be able to read."

Xu Tuoran: "? Didn't you teach it?"

Yang Buqi: "..."

"When I made it, people were in the camphor forest, and I just wanted to use it to lure away...forget it." Yang Buqi paused, considering that the person involved was present, and silently swallowed the last few words.

On the other end, Xu Tuoran had already settled down and began to command remotely: "Now, Xiaohua, listen to me, you press the short button next to it...then click on the green icon...yes..."

Fortunately, she turned on the glove mode on her mobile phone, directing step by step, and Xiao Fenhua managed to find Su Sui'er's contact information. Because it was too difficult for Xiaohua to type, Xu Tuoran simply ordered her to make a phone call.

The call was quickly connected. Facing Xu Tuoran's current embarrassing situation, Su Sui'er also responded very readily.

"I know this mechanism, but I'm sorry, I can't say it. In this way, if you wait for me to come over, if there are outsiders, it will be easy to crack."

Xu Tueran responded humbly, and was about to end the call when Yang Buqi suddenly realized: "Wait, are you contacting Su Sui'er?"

Xu Tuoran: "...Ah."

Yang Buqi: "..."

"Then what, after all, the punishment mechanism here is special...Why don't you ask again, can another person come over?" Yang Buqi tentatively asked. Because he was facing the wall, he didn't know that the call hadn't been hung up yet, so he said directly, "Su Sui'er doesn't feel particularly suitable to come here..."

He still remembers the 800-character luxury car that Su Sui'er drove in Meihua Apartment. It was hard not to worry him.

Su Sui'er on the other end of the phone was angry when she heard the words.

"What do you mean? Are you prejudiced against me? I know what you are worried about. Let me tell you, literary pursuits belong to literary pursuits. I have a strong determination, and I am not the kind of person who will be blocked easily!"

Yang Buqi: …

Fine.

So, another twenty minutes later.

In the blank room, the three heads looked at each other.

Yang Buqi closed his eyes helplessly: "I knew it."

"...No, what do you know about you?" Su Sui'er, a newly promoted flying headman, expressed great dissatisfaction with his speech, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be screened at all!"

This is really true.

When Su Sui'er first entered the room, she did not experience any temptation—or in other words, she successfully resisted all temptations.

The bad thing is that when she came to rescue the two, she saw Yang Buqi himself.

It's a coincidence. Su Sui'er just cooperated with the people from the Charity Institute two days ago. While cooperating, I also listened to a lot of gossip.

Including Yang Buqi's body and mind, and the part of Xu Tuoran's perseverance.

Because of this, when she saw Yang Buqi, who looked like a man with a flying head, her first reaction was to sweep him down, and then she asked casually, "Has your lower body grown?"

...And whether it is her actions or the greeting about the "lower body", in the eyes of pure love, it is obviously extremely impure.

So, a few seconds later, Su Sui'er, who also only had one head left, was forced to play the role of flying headman with the other two in the small black room.

Xu Tuoran was also helpless, and persuaded the two of them aloud, and by the way, confirmed the mechanism of "Pure Love" to the system again in his consciousness. The system has nothing to love: "As you can see, basically you can't touch it or mention it. The power you are exposed to now should have been weakened, otherwise, just thinking about it will mosaic your brain. "

Xu Tuoran nodded thoughtfully, and accidentally glanced at the death value panel, and found that there were almost 500 more death points.

For an E-level abomination, this increase is too good - of course, it may also be added to the previous one.

"By the way, have you made any adjustments to the death value system?" Xu Tuoran asked, "Since you came back, it hasn't been ringing very often."

Only when the ceremony is in progress will the notification sound. Normally, it will grow quietly, and then when Xu Tuoran sees it, she will amaze herself.

The system snorted: "Is there any difference? Isn't it just stuffing money for you blatantly before, but now it's just stuffing money secretly."

How to speak. I will die by my ability, okay?

Xu Tuoran curled his lips, stared at the death value bar in his mind for a while, and then turned his gaze to the head of Yang Buqi who was opposite.

Yang Buqi seemed to have noticed something, and asked aloud. Xu Tuoran signaled that he was fine, and then said to the system: "You just said that the only way to judge 'impure' in this place is by talking and doing, right?"

"Yeah." The system responded, suddenly feeling something was wrong, "What do you want to do? You only have one head left."

"It's okay, just curious." Xu Turan looked away nonchalantly, "But to be honest, I haven't had much chance to get death value recently. It's rare to meet a generous..."

system:"…"

It didn't know what Xu Tuoran was thinking, but it had an inexplicable premonition.

If it wasn't for the fact that the power in this defensive circle had been weakened, Xu Tuoran's head would probably be gone by now.

Fortunately, in the end, this matter was finally resolved.

Xu Tuoran directed Xiao Fenhua to make another call for help. Principal Shangguan came after hearing the news—and as Su Sui'er said, it is actually very simple to crack this punishment mechanism.

As long as a person who has not been punished enters the small black room and opens the door marked with the exit. All those locked in the small black room can be free.

Su Sui'er is now trapped, and the previous confidentiality rules are automatically lifted. Under her command, Principal Shangguan opened the exit door with a delicate expression—the moment the door opened, the power that had been restraining the three of them disappeared instantly.

Although the body still hasn't come back, at least he can control his lonely head to float around.

This feeling is actually very subtle. Because in fact, what they drive is still their own body. It's just that the senses of the body and the corresponding sense of control have been weakened to the extreme, and it is even difficult to move.

Su Sui'er felt like a jellyfish or sunfish. After a lot of effort, he finally swam to the exit of the small black house against strong resistance. The moment she stepped out of the room, the torso and limbs that had not been seen for a long time finally began to grow back at an alarming speed.

"It can be figured out..." She lowered her head and stretched her fingers, thankful that she finally regained the sense of control over her body, "Fortunately, this level is outrageous, and the damage is not too big. It seems that there are no sequelae in the body .what do y'all think?"

While talking, Su Sui'er turned her head away, and couldn't help being taken aback when she saw the two people still staying in the room. After a pause, he said:

"What happened to your mouth?"

Xu Tuoran & Yang Buqi, who had been leaning against one place at some point: ...

No, strictly speaking, they shouldn't be asked "what's wrong with their mouth".

Because they don't have mouths at all right now.

I saw that the two heads still floating in the room were only half left at this moment—the part below the middle, the part from the lips to the chin, had disappeared neatly.

Su Sui'er: ...

No, I just looked away for a while, what are you guys doing?
