What’s Wrong With Seeking Death?
Chapter 88:
Things... why did it become like this?
On the other side, the center of the sub city.
The pen of the pen fairy stood in the open silver box, looking at the raging fire not far away, and fell into deep thought for a while.
Deep inside the church, there is a hidden portal. The portal leads to the only church on the outskirts, which can be used as long as the correct awakening steps are enabled - that's where they came out of not so long ago.
It is not difficult for Bixianzhibi to see through this hidden truth. This place looks fancy, but in essence it is just a relatively large domain.
And the domain owner is obviously unable to manage the fringe area where it is located, and the protection given is very weak. As a mature Hui-level omniscient, it only needs some time and media, and can easily read anything it wants to know.
Although limited to the border area.
In the previous time, it had spent a lot of effort to contact the so-called "marginal area" through the conscious body named Jason, and thus gained a glimpse of many things. And the point that makes it collapse the most is the cruel fact that there are no human beings in the fringe area—
The absence of human beings means that no matter how much faith it gains, all it can get is the tin offal that smells like engine oil.
…Then it has been answering questions and changing believers for so long, what is it trying to do? It even condescends to give people answers to relationship problems and workplace confusion? ? Does it even stand them calling it an omniscient god? ? Never got it right!
It is a majestic omniscient god, can it wrong itself so much? That must not be possible!
Therefore, at the moment when it was confirmed that there were no living humans in the fringe area, Pen Fairy's Pen made an extremely risky decision—it went to the sub-city.
And if you want to go to the secondary city, it is definitely unrealistic to take the ordinary route. The so-called "upgrade zone" is just a trick used by the domain master to deceive human beings. Ordinary consciousness bodies have no chance of rising; moreover, the positions related to the "rise zone" are all controlled by energy bodies. Let them be aware of their own existence, not to mention hunting for sacrifices, I am afraid that I will become a sacrifice if I am not in place.
The only way is to force a breakthrough.
Knowing about Xu Tuoran's existence, the pen fairy's pen feels even more urgent - after all, according to its experience, the domain with Xu Tuoran's presence often doesn't survive for long. It doesn't have much time to use.
Fortunately, it was lucky this time. Good things happen one after another. First, the energy bodies in the fringe area were transferred away in large numbers for unknown reasons, and even the church was left unattended. The second is that the conscious bodies in the fringe area are quite easy to fool... Their thinking is relatively simple and direct, as long as they grasp the tricks, they can be easily used for their own use.
The next thing will be a matter of course. Pick a good, calm day, and in the name of holy war, order them to rush into the only church in the fringe area, and find the hidden portal after breaking through...
The pen of the pen fairy was originally worried that there would be some ambush traps near the portal, but it turned out that it was completely overthinking. It was honest and blunt, and after trying to decipher the awakening method of the teleportation port, it opened the teleportation port directly, and brought a group of people, and passed it over in a mighty manner.
Because it was worried that there would be an energy body guarding the other end of the portal, it specially prepared a weapon. He hid in the silver box ahead of time and was brought over by the disciple named "Jason".
Although the silver box is used as a tool to restrain it, it can also play a role of protection and concealment. After all, this is someone else's territory, and it doesn't want to expose it prematurely.
And then they came over—
So far, everything has been going well. There seems to be nothing wrong with it.
…But who can tell it why it just slept for a while in the silver box, and then woke up with a look of fire in front of it?
And what was it burning? If I'm not mistaken, it seems to be the domain owner's own church, right? It looks so big, and there is a statue of the domain owner on the roof...
Bixian Zhib stared blankly at the statue as it wobbled and fell from the roof, and smashed to pieces on the ground.
After a long silence, it floated up and slowly wrote a line of words in front of Jason:
[I remember, I told you that after arriving in the new world, everything must follow my previous instructions? 】
"Well, that's right!" Jason's mechanical face reflected the dancing fire, his eyes sparkled slightly, "Everything is going according to your great plan!"
Pen of the Immortal Pen: ...So which word did I mention setting fire?
"Just like you said, we are going to come to the new world, and we will announce our arrival loudly to the new world!" Jason said impassionedly, "We have already done it!"
Pen Fairy's Pen:…
Silly boy, that's not my instruction. That's the flatbread and chicken soup I drew for you.
The pen of the pen fairy fell into silence again. What made it even more silent was that Jason raised the weapon in his hand in the next second, and humbly knelt on one knee:
"O great all-knowing God, when are we going to really ring the bell of jihad?"
Pen Fairy's Pen: ...
What are you fighting for? I am at the Chen level and I am at the Hui level, and I still have a dozen seals on my body... I will fight for you.
The pen of the pen fairy thought silently, paused for a few seconds, but just turned around, drawing a stretching arc in the air.
—This is a new way of expression that it researched recently when communicating with the conscious body. Able to express emotions effectively. For example, now, what it draws is a pattern of a smile.
What is the omniscient god? Even if you have already shocked my whole family, I still nod and smile calmly, pretending to be "well, that's right, I expected it a long time ago".
【No hurry, my loyal disciple. 】It wrote in the air stroke by stroke,【You are doing well, I admire your courage. 】
[It's just now, it's not time to ring the jihad bell. 】
Jason raised his head suddenly: "What do you mean?"
[Flesh Saint. 】The pen of the pen fairy wrote stroke by stroke in the air, 【Before the holy war, you must first find the saint of flesh and blood. 】
Flesh saint... Jason repeated the word in his heart, his expression became serious.
This is not the first time he has heard the term. As early as the second day after the Almighty God came to him, he had heard the Almighty God mention it—at that time he had already received the favor of the Almighty God, but he couldn't offer a sacrifice that fit His will. The Omniscient God gave himself a new order to find the "Holy One of Flesh and Blood" for Him.
It is said that this is the apostle left behind by the omniscient God. Only they have the flesh and blood needed to know God. However, he spent so long searching and exploring in the fringes, but he still found nothing.
Jason raised his head suddenly: "You mean, the real saint of flesh and blood is actually in the sub-city area, right?"
[Yes. 】Ben Immortal's Pen is very pleased, this silly boy's mind has finally turned around, 【I can feel that they are here. 】
After finishing speaking, it asked Jason to hand over the registration list snatched from the church, and began to "read" it intently—this list summarizes the list of newcomers that various churches have recently absorbed, and if there are humans among them, it must be able to read come out.
Sure enough, it didn't take much effort. It recognized a few humans from it. Even more fortunately, the list also includes a mailing address.
[Go to this address. 】Xian Zhibi researched it, and pointed out the nearest address to Jason, 【Send someone there. The saint of flesh and blood I am looking for is most likely here. 】
[Remember, it must be fast and concealed. 】
Jason looked at the address carefully, thought about it and asked again: "The great omniscient god, after finding a person suspected of being a saint of flesh and blood, do you need to give him a holy medicine to confirm his identity?"
[No need. 】The pen of the pen fairy replied, 【The holy medicine is limited, don't use it at will. Bring people to me. 】
Jason lowered his head in response, then turned to give instructions to the others.
The rest of the pen was left, and it slowly fell back into the silver box. The mood was so complicated that it was hard to express it for a while.
Fortunately, Jason was not stupid enough. At least he wasn't stupid enough to wait for someone to catch him after he burned down a church.
What they brought this time was an elite team, many of whom had previously struggled at the bottom of the fringe area. Relying on these people's keen escape skills, Jason and the others quickly retreated through the chaos after leaving the church, and found an unused empty room, pried open the door and hid in.
They were brought to the empty house together with the corpses of two energy bodies. This was originally the caretaker of the central church, but Jason and the others beat him straight away. Because they thought they might still have useful things on them, such as spare parts and certificates, they carried them all over.
At this moment, Bixianzhibi is staying alone in the master bedroom on the second floor of this empty house. It was bored reading the past of the owner of this room, and was surprised to find that the original resident here was also an energy body.
For some reason, it "died". This house is left unused... What's the matter, don't you make up for the lack of people?
And it was very strange before, how could there be only two energy bodies guarding such a large central church? There is also the large mobilization of the energy body in the marginal area before...
Is the loss rate of the energy body in this domain a bit too high?
Bixian Zhibi was thinking silently, feeling a little uneasy, but he couldn't say exactly how uneasy.
It was thinking about whether to "watch" something to relieve boredom, and Jason knocked on the door again—he handed over the task of finding the "Flesh Saint" to others, and he carefully reappeared with a box In front of the pen of the pen fairy.
Inside the box are curtains for hanging and a tablet commonly used by Bixianzhipen. The tablet has its own projection function, which can project the words written on it into the air, so that the omniscient God can convey His divine will even if he does not reveal his true face.
Jason carefully hung the curtain for Bixianzhipen and adjusted the projection angle. Lowering his head, he asked again: "God of omniscience, is there anything else you want to order?"
there is none left. Really gone. From now on, as long as you bring the human beings you found to me safely, I will be satisfied, really.
Bixianzhipen sighed deeply in his heart, turned on the tablet, and began to play electronic poking fun.
After an unknown amount of time, there were new footsteps on the stairs.
Someone enters the door after being asked for instructions. Sensing the appearance of a new breath, Bixian Zhipen reluctantly stopped the game and stood upright behind the curtain.
Across the curtain, it temporarily has no access to the medium that can "read" the other party in depth, and can only roughly judge the other party's age and gender. It immediately noticed something was wrong.
It seems, I'm sorry...
But it does feel alive. It was pondering whether to ask the other party for something, and an old voice sounded outside the screen:
"Are you the all-knowing God they say?"
The tone was a little familiar. The uneasiness in the pen fairy's heart became stronger. It paused, brushing and writing on the tablet:
[It's me, lost child. I am the light of omniscience that illuminates the eternal night, and I have come to find you and guide you on your way home. 】
"...Oh." The person outside the scene was silent for a while, "Are you sure that I am not over the age limit? After all, I am a seventy-two-year-old baby."
She was asking the person next to her.
But Bixian Zhib who heard this was silent.
Female, seventy-two, and this tone of beating.
It should...it shouldn't be such a coincidence, right? This time the city is so big, with so many people...
Bixian Zhib desperately comforted himself, hesitated for a moment, and moved towards the curtain, intending to take a peek through the gap.
Almost at the same time, it heard a conversation outside:
"No, you don't understand, we are all children before the Lord."
"I know you are at a loss now, and you can't accept it. It's okay, we were like this from the beginning... Come, give me an item on your body. The Lord will prove His power to you."
The person outside the curtain was silent for a while, and seemed to smile. There was a sound of fumbling, and not long after, a hand was respectfully passed in from outside the curtain, holding a blue coin in it.
"Great omniscient God!" The owner of the hand said excitedly, "This is what she has on her body."
And the all-knowing God... the all-knowing God doesn't need him to remind.
It just glanced at the coin, and then the whole pen fell from the air with a "swish" and hit the flat screen, making a crisp sound.
"Omniscient God?" The people outside the curtain were stunned by its excessive movement. Bixian Zhibi didn't care about explaining, and hurriedly opened the curtain by himself—
On the other side of the room, an old woman with gray hair was sitting on a chair, looking at it with her head tilted, with a smile that was not a smile.
Pen Fairy's Pen:…
"Omniscient God?" Sensing its excitement, the believer who was responsible for bringing people back was quite happy, "May I ask if we found the right one? Is this the flesh and blood saint?"
Pen Fairy's Pen: ...It's your size.
Where the **** did you pull this guy back from? Throw it away, throw it away quickly!
Xu Tuoran looked at everything in front of him with great interest, and the lingering depression that had been lingering since he left the hospital finally eased a little.
The reason for the depression is simple. During the trip to the hospital, I got too few death points. Although she got several hundred out of thin air before, after she created a bunch of abominations through the dream, she basically didn't get any death points.
That is, when he went to smash the altar underground alone. He earned two hundred for destroying the magic circle, five hundred for dropping the statue, and smashed some miscellaneous things behind him. The total harvest was three hundred, and the total harvest was one thousand.
And in order to magnify the effect of "absolute kingship", she spent three thousand and five krypton. Once back and forth, it means not getting back the money.
This made Xu Tuoran somewhat unhappy.
In order to make up for this unhappiness, before she left, she specially added instructions to the abominations, asking them to stay in the hospital and keep surrounding the companions to prevent them from leaving.
——The effect of "absolute kingship" will gradually weaken after she leaves the country. Xu Tuoran doesn't know how long the last order she left will last. But no matter what, let's just say so first.
After leaving the hospital, she and others had to face another problem—what should they do next?
Once the companions leave the hospital, they will definitely come to trouble them again. And the monsters they created through dreams will not disappear by themselves, and most of them will cause trouble after breaking free.
"How about gathering those humans first?" Old Wang suggested, "I'm worried that the accompanying creatures will attack them in advance."
The other two immediately agreed, and quickly assigned a new task—Lao Wang left with Shiyue who was still in a coma, while Xu Turan and Jiaojiao's father went to find the human beings they had identified during the day.
During the day, they identified a total of eight suspected human residents, while also confirming their addresses through stray dogs. But at present, it can only be said to be "suspected", and no final confirmation can be made.
Now that the situation is urgent, I can't think too much. Especially after they discovered the fire in the central church—Xu Tuoran's first reaction was that it was caused by the fire flashlight, and it happened that there was a human residence nearby, so she came over directly.
After coming over, he successfully found the human being. Xu Tuoran was about to take the other party away after explaining the situation quickly, when a group of strange people came over again.
Old clothes, outdated limbs, electronic masks on their faces, and weapons.
Doesn't look like a nice guy.
Xu Tuoran originally thought that he would just beat Fei Fei up, but before the fight, he noticed the red pen pinned to the opponent's body. Hearing the other party's repeated "All-knowing God" again and again, he became suspicious. He flicked a few words casually, and asked them to let the human go away, and he was brought here as a "prey".
As a result...how should I put it?
Aunt Zhang was sitting in the room with a golden knife, looking up and down at the red pen floating in front of her, and then swept the fairy-like curtains around her, and sighed from the bottom of her heart: "It seems that you are doing well." what."
At this point the rest of the room has been dismissed. Bixianzhibi thought for a moment, and began to be hypocritically modest: [No, no. 】
"Why not, I saw it just now. There are many people downstairs." Xu Tuoran leaned back on the back of the chair, put one hand on the armrest of the chair, and raised his chin towards the pen of the pen fairy, "You are all believers."
Pen Fairy's Brush: [...It doesn't count, it's just like-minded people. 】
"The great all-knowing God." Xu Tuoran tapped the armrest with his fingers, "Yes, very imposing. The momentum of development is very good."
The pen of the pen fairy: [It's so-so, it all depends on the background of the peers. 】
Xu Tuoran: "Then do your colleagues know that you just burned the church?"
Pen Fairy's Pen:…
Don't mention it, this **** is about to worry about this matter!
Far away is the domain master, and near there is Xu Tuoran. The pen of the pen fairy did not know which matter was more worthy of its anxiety.
On the other side, Xu Turan was too lazy to talk nonsense with it, and the smile on his face suddenly faded: "How many human beings can be saved in this domain? Name and address, write me a list."
Pen Fairy's Pen:…
[This, I'm actually not completely clear. 】It still wants to struggle,【I'm actually not very interested in human beings...】
"Still pretending?" Xu Tuoran tilted his head, "Not interested? Then your people ran to the human residence, calling the omniscient God, and looking for flesh and blood? I really don't understand what your plan is?"
She slapped the armrest suddenly: "list, address, I want it now, hurry up."
"Still dawdling, believe it or not, I'll grab you downstairs right now and ask you to write pi in front of your disciples?"
Pen Fairy's Pen:…
【You also said that I am a believer now! 】The pen of the pen fairy endured and endured, and finally couldn't hold back and floated up, 【As long as I give an order, you will be the public enemy of our church! 】
Xu Turan: ...
Xu Tuoran: "Oh."
She looked at the watch on her wrist and waved her hand impatiently: "Hurry up and write, I don't want to dawdle with you."
Pen Fairy's Pen:…
It froze in place for a moment, thinking through several plans to call people up to beat up Xu Tuoran, and finally whimpered inwardly, turned around and began to write the list honestly.
It's not impossible to call people up.
It's that it has evaluated it several times, and no matter how you think about it, it feels that this is not called a beating, but a collective delivery of heads.
The lessons learned from the big Sophora japonica is still vivid. It chose to continue to bear the burden of humiliation.
On the other end, Xu Tuoran had already taken out the communicator given by Jiaojiao's father, and started sending messages to other people, giving out the updated list of human beings.
Just after sending out, I suddenly felt something in my pocket was about to shake violently. Xu Tuoran was stunned for a moment, and took out a fox ornament from inside.
The fox ornament began to tremble automatically again at this moment, and its two eyeballs flew around in its sockets. Xu Tuoran frowned slightly, reached out and took out the silver colored paper on his body, and wrapped it around the fox ornament. After wrapping it, the fox ornament was still shaking as if it was in vibration mode.
This situation is far more serious than before. However, Xu Tuoran did not receive the reminder of the death value like last time. She frowned, looked around, and noticed that the pen of the pen fairy was quietly drilling into the silver box again, so she quickly walked over, took it out, and turned to wrap the wrapped fox. The decorations are stuffed in.
Pen Fairy's Pen: ...? ? ?
【That's my box? 】It unbelievably wrote in the air,【My original box! 】
"I know." The box is a bit short, and Xu Tuoran is adjusting the position of the fox ornament so that the lid can be closed smoothly, "Isn't it frightened?"
Pen of the Pen Fairy: ...I was also scared? Otherwise, what did I just hide in there?
It floated in the air, silently staring at Xu Tuoran. And the latter, after finding out that the fox ornament really couldn't fit into the box, had no choice but to give up and took it out again.
And at this moment, the fox ornament came out of the loose silver paper by itself, stood on the table, looked at Xu Tuoran with a pair of big eyes, and the eyes rolled quickly.
Xu Tuoran: "?"
She looked at the fox ornament thoughtfully, trying to figure out its meaning: "Are you trying to... tell me something?"
The fox's eyes rolled even faster, and Xu Turan looked at Bixian Zhib beside him: "What the **** is the fox talking about?"
The pen of the pen fairy was still angry about the snatching of the box, and wrote in the air angrily: 【Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng. 】
Xu Turan: ...
She knocked on the table in warning, the pen fairy pen paused, and then seriously translated the words of the fox decoration:
【It said, run quickly. 】
[It's coming, run quickly. 】
…it?
Xu Tuoran frowned slightly because of this reference, and the next second, she suddenly felt a voice explode in her mind—the danger prediction of beep beep sounded, and the sharp sound pierced her head numb.
Almost at the same time, there were exclamations one after another from downstairs—and then a scream.
Xu Tuoran sensed something was wrong, quickly put away the silver paper and silver box in front of him, picked up the two props in front of him one by one, turned around and ran out of the door, did not run a few steps, and suddenly felt her feet stagnate—she fell to the ground, Turning around in astonishment, I saw that the originally flat and thick carpet had already bulged into a wrinkle at some point.
Just now, it was because of this wrinkle that she tripped.
Xu Tueran stared at this wrinkle, and for some reason the alarm bells were ringing in his heart. She flinched back suddenly, and just about to stand up and leave, the carpet suddenly flew up consciously, and rushed straight towards her.
Xu Tuoran had been prepared for a long time and hurried past. I tried to turn the door lock, but found that it couldn't be turned, so I kicked it up again, and the door panel opened in response.
...Thanks to the fact that she had already used the point modification machine to modify her physical strength. Otherwise, the old bones can't stand the falling and kicking.
Once in the corridor, the situation is even more shocking. In the room on the first floor, the furniture and ornaments seemed to have life, and they were desperately bumping into people. The believers of the omniscient **** are struggling to fight it, and the sound of gunshots and fire flashes in the room from time to time.
Even the walls of the house came to life—the white walls flowed and spread out, grabbing everything they could touch. Two believers failed to dodge in time, and were dragged in even with their weapons. Half of their bodies were buried in the wall, and the second half of their bodies struggled twice, and soon stopped moving.
"This house is alive!" Panic voices sounded among the believers, "Run, get out!"
Xu Tuoran pursed his lips, tried his best to avoid the oncoming objects, and rushed out the door together. Seeing some believers coming up to look for the "God of All Knowledge", he kicked them down.
"God, you're all right!" she said impatiently, "Just run away!"
Rushed downstairs, only to find that the door was locked again. A bunch of people are rushing in front of the door. Xu Tuoran clicked his tongue, stepped forward quickly, pushed away the blocker, lifted his finger, and a layer of frost covered the electronic lock, and the lock plate shattered in the next second.
"Let's go." She kicked the door open and walked out quickly. Once outside the door, the whole person was startled suddenly.
Screams and cries for help echoed one after another in places as far as the eye could see. All the houses began to distort, and all the dead things became killers, and began to attack people in the houses wantonly.
But what shocked Xu Tuoran the most was not this.
but from the sky.
In the dark night sky, the blood moon from the eclipse dream still hangs high. Beside the blood moon, a mountain-like shadow was breaking through the clouds and slowly descending from the sky.
That cloud of shadow stayed in the sky above the city, and Xu Tuoran could roughly see its appearance through the unextinguished lights in the city.
A round, curled up white fleshy object, with obvious link structure on the surface, and it seems that there are some things like ropes wrapped around it.
…what is that?
Bugs?
Xu Tuoran recalled the statue of Chuangshen, and his expression became more dignified.
At this moment, another exclamation sounded beside him. Xu Turan turned his head following the sound, and saw a person sitting on the ground, pointing his finger into the room in great horror.
Xu Tuoran looked over and saw something in the depths of the room walking out flickeringly. The iron knives in the living room seemed to be attracted, and were attracted to them one after another, forming an armor-like existence.
"Yes...the corpses we brought back!" The man panicked, "They're alive! They're alive again!"
Xu Tuoran: "..."
Gan. What are these things.
She wanted to leave with the pen of the pen fairy, but those people had already surrounded her, and began to pray for the mercy of the omniscient god. Xu Tuoran was helpless, and didn't really want to use No. 7 or No. 18, so he simply snatched a weapon from the person next to him, and fired several shots at the two rickety things in the room. , beat the opponent back again and again, strode forward again, closed the door at once, turned around and asked someone to borrow a knife, cut his palm, and quickly drew a defensive rune on the door.
"Okay." She pressed the wound on her hand, "The Almighty God has mercy on you, get out of the way soon."
The conscious bodies next to him were all dumbfounded, staring at the blood on the door in a daze. The Pen Fairy's pen quietly slipped out of her pocket, pushed Jason who was closest, and scrawled [Holy Medicine] in the air.
As if waking up from a dream, Jason quickly took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, and brought it to Xu Tuoran respectfully: "Please use it."
Xu Turan: ...
She is familiar with this medicine bottle, isn't it the one that Yang Buqi gave her?
She took it inexplicably, and quickly wrote in the air with the pen of the pen fairy: [You stop the bleeding. Don't turn around and attract companions! 】
"The waves are not wasted, just a small injury." Xu Tuoran muttered, but still opened the medicine bottle.
She provoked the energy body in various ways before, although there was no major damage, but there were still a lot of bumps on her body. I just fell and broke my knee. It happened to be cured together.
She poured out the pill, pinched half of it and put it in her mouth. The wound on the hand healed immediately.
She looked at the wound on her hand and nodded with satisfaction, but the eyes of the believers around her were even more strange—
In the next second, everyone knelt down and shouted:
"It's the Flesh Saint!"
"It's the real saint of flesh and blood!"
"Flesh saint, guide us to start the holy war! Flesh saint, guide us to the light!"
Xu Tuoran: ...?
? ? ? !
In the next second, a voice that made her even more dumbfounded appeared.
[Congratulations, you have obtained 5,000 death points! 】
Xu Turan: ...
The premonition of crisis in his brain began to beep again. As if realizing something, she slowly turned her head away.
Behind him, the huge white worm had stretched its body. Even though it was so far away, Xu Tuoran could still see its wide-eyed eyes.
And she was very sure that what it was looking at was exactly where she was.
