Her Talent for Courting Death Has Always Been Impressive - Chapter 40 Part 3

Thinking this way, her thoughts suddenly became clear.

Xu Turan made up her mind, turned around and pasted the rules paper on the door panel, then nodded to that pen: “After careful consideration, your proposal is not unfeasible.”

The pen immediately stood up straight, seemingly very excited. Unfortunately, due to the rules, it couldn’t actively express anything now—but it knew in its heart that it was close, so close!

Next, Xu Turan would definitely ask it what she should do. Then it just needed to write down the method to release the seal, and wait for Xu Turan to follow…

Perfect!

The Planchette Pen excitedly waited, even the cap on its butt was trembling slightly. Then it saw Xu Turan open her mouth, but what she asked was: “So what’s your plan?”

Planchette Pen: ?

Eh?

Seeming to see its confusion, Xu Turan said seriously, “I mean your assistance plan. You said you want to help us, you don’t actually have no ideas at all, right? That doesn’t seem very sincere.”

Planchette Pen: …

It’s not that there isn’t one, but shouldn’t this usually not be provided by me?

Isn’t the normal development that you guys run around screaming, and then I provide support when needed? Although I didn’t really intend to provide support…

“Really nothing? That’s not good enough,” Xu Turan argued convincingly, “Look, you told me this was a ‘deal’. What’s a deal? It’s cooperation. And it’s cooperation requested by you.”

“So following this logic, we are the client, and you are the contractor. As a contractor, if you don’t even have a convincing plan, why should we give this valuable cooperation opportunity to you?”

Planchette Pen: ……

After a while, it hesitantly wrote on the rules paper: 【Maybe because I can help you survive?】

“Then you need to prove that! Even people seeking investment know to make a PowerPoint presentation.” Xu Turan spoke in a tone of “how can you not understand even this”, and turned to continue wandering around this sealed room.

“Logically speaking, a draft is the minimum at this point. At the very least, for my current situation, you should give a trial plan, right? But I’m a considerate person, so let’s forget about the draft. How about this, I’ll think about how to get out first, and you, based on your original idea of helping, give an overall escape plan. If it looks feasible, we’ll discuss the follow-up, okay?”

Planchette Pen: …

Would you agree if I said no?

Xu Turan wanted to explore this set of sealed rooms for a while longer, but was afraid of being misled or harassed by this pen, so she simply gave it a big task first—anyway, it was written on the rules paper, Yang Buqi and Pu Han could both identify it, and she could also have some peace and quiet for a while. As for the rest, she would deal with it after she had figured out this part.

The Planchette Pen was dazed by her words, swaying its tip and actually wrote the two characters 【Plan】 on the rules paper. Halfway through writing, it suddenly realized and quickly crossed out those two characters: 【What if I write it and you don’t agree?!】

“Then revise it. If we don’t agree, it means your plan has problems. That’s something you need to reflect on yourself.” Xu Turan said without turning her head, “Besides, if the plan you give isn’t reliable, we’ll most likely get into trouble, so whether we cooperate with you or not doesn’t make much difference, does it?”

Xu Turan turned her head and gestured seriously to the Planchette Pen: “Advantages, you need to show us your advantages! This is an era of competitive employment, you need to learn to seize opportunities!”

Planchette Pen: … I am seizing it, right? The problem is that my opportunity doesn’t respond to me and wants me to make a PowerPoint?!

Has the cost of deceiving people become so high these days??

Pen-pen doesn’t understand. Pen-pen is very confused. It just slept for a while, what happened to this world?

The Planchette Pen saw that Xu Turan was determined, and if it didn’t come up with a seemingly feasible plan, she really wouldn’t agree to cooperate with it. Helplessly, it could only write on the rules paper again.

Just then, two more lines of text slowly appeared on the rules paper—the rules paper had apparently recorded the content written by the Planchette Pen as data and updated a new version of the rules based on these words:

【Please do not trust any non-human entities of unknown origin.】

【If any non-human entity expresses willingness to cooperate with you, please refuse and stay away immediately!】

Planchette Pen: …

Unknown origin non-human entity, you might as well just report my name directly.

In any case, this paragraph well aroused some sense of crisis in it. It glanced at Xu Turan, who was concentrating on searching for clues around, and finally bent its proud pen shaft and began to write and draw in the blank space of the rules paper.

“Oh right, remember to make the format clear. Pay attention to details.” Xu Turan said without turning her head, unsurprisingly hearing another notification of Courting Death Value in her mind.

She had no doubt that if it could, that pen would definitely have stabbed her to death with its tip by now.

She turned her head half-amusedly and emphasized again: “It needs to be convincing.”

…The tip of the Planchette Pen paused, red ink dripped down, blurring into a blob on the paper.

No convincing power, how about some agitation power?

…So, about ten minutes later. Under Yang Buqi’s stunned gaze, several lines of dense text appeared successively on his side of the rules paper:

【Haunted House No. 71 Escape Plan 1-1】

【1. Introduction 2. Overview of Ideas 3. Current Situation Analysis 4. Discussion of Key Difficulties…】

It was dense and wrote quite a lot.

At a glance, if not every word was true… it was at least organized.

…So what’s going on now?

Yang Buqi took a sharp breath, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

If ten minutes ago he was still worried about what that pen might do to Xu Turan, now his main concern had become—she shouldn’t have done anything to it, right?

It felt like the pen’s state seemed to be not quite normal anymore…

Yang Buqi thought with mixed feelings, glanced at the rules paper again, and froze once more the next second.

He saw a third type of handwriting appear on the paper—someone had circled several circles on the escape plan given by the Planchette Pen, and very naturally added a few comments beside it.

【This point, please elaborate further.】

【These two points I circled contradict each other. Please give a reasonable explanation.】

【I don’t think this part works. I can’t say exactly why it doesn’t work, but it just doesn’t.】

【Feels like it’s still missing something. Revise it again. Xiao Xu, can you take a look? Can you come up with another version within 5 minutes?】

Yang Buqi: …

This handwriting was easy to recognize, he immediately recognized it as Pu Han’s.

The problem is, why did you suddenly pop up to write comments at a time like this?

Are you guys really treating this rules paper as a cloud document for work? Then what was the point of me secretly using dots to warn earlier?

Yang Buqi fell into silence. After a long time, he finally picked up his pen again.

Then he quickly circled a paragraph in the plan and quickly added two lines beside it.

【The authenticity of this content is questionable. I don’t think it works.】

【Please revise it again, thanks for your hard work.】
