Her Talent for Courting Death Has Always Been Impressive - Chapter 42 Part 3

“I die, then you die, then Yang Buqi and your brother die. Finally, we all end up as negative examples in Ciji Institute’s training manual,” Pu Han said unhurriedly, “But before I die, I’ll cut Feifei off first. She has a strong will to live, she should be able to live on her own for a while…”

Xu Turan: … No, I didn’t mean for you to think about your last wishes, I meant to think of countermeasures, brother.

That’s not how you’re supposed to court death!

Xu Turan felt like flicking Pu Han’s forehead hard. She now understood why they say some people become more abnormal the higher their level gets—

She quickly scanned the semi-transparent figures around, silently touched the tail ring on her little finger, and was planning the angle to throw a punch when Pu Han suddenly spoke again:

“By the way, did you see the message I left on the rules paper?”

“Huh?” Xu Turan didn’t react for a moment, “Which one? The one about you going to sea?”

“…It’s about being a pearl diver,” Pu Han choked for a moment, “Pearl divers, they’re women who used to dive for pearls in the past.”

He looked around and curled his lips: “Just as I said, these space-time fragments, seemingly bubbles, are actually independent bodies of water, bottomless. The deeper you go, the easier it is to be swallowed up, and the harder it is to return… In the end, you can only drown in them.”

After saying this, he looked deeply at Xu Turan.

“Although it might be a bit late to say this now… you should probably leave.”

Xu Turan: ?

“Here’s a hot tip. When you go to save a drowning person, you must be careful of your posture. Otherwise, if you’re not careful, you’ll be dragged into the water too.”

—As if echoing his words, those illusory figures that had been ignoring Xu Turan suddenly stopped in unison.

Then they all turned their heads together, their cold gazes falling on Xu Turan.

The sense of crisis in her mind and Pu Han’s advice rang out simultaneously:

“If you leave now, you can still make it.”

Xu Turan: …

“Leave what leave,” she muttered, suddenly turning around, throwing a heavy punch that landed like lightning on the nose of the person behind her, while at the same time kicking out, sending the person next to her sprawling on the ground.

She clenched her fist, snorting without courtesy.

“It’s not like I can’t beat them, why should I leave!”

10 minutes later.

“Damn, what’s the deal with these people!”

Xu Turan dragged Pu Han along the corridor in a dash, feeling like cursing: “How are we supposed to fight them, we can’t win at all!”

Pu Han followed behind, gasping for breath, almost passing out from running: “Didn’t you say earlier, one punch for each…”

Xu Turan: “…”

I didn’t know these “people” would be so hard to beat then!

Xu Turan was truly at a loss.

Strictly speaking, those “people” weren’t “unbeatable”, but “indestructible”.

Xu Turan had a tail ring that allowed her to attack any entity, a tool given by the cheap system at the start, and with the power of this tool, she had no problem hitting people.

The problem was, these guys seemed to be made of water, no matter what damage was caused, they could quickly regenerate, and put endless energy into the task of capturing Pu Han—persevering to the point of stubbornness, with strong will despite physical destruction.

Xu Turan’s control skills could be put to use. But her control effects all had time limits, and once the time was up, the opponents immediately caught up, and the control and damage caused by “Ice No. 7” could only serve to delay—

She even hastily took several supernatural photos and threw them over. However, the hatched female ghosts seemed completely uninterested in these past shadows, only caring about their own fights.

…What’s worse, they couldn’t get out now.

This wooden corridor seemed to have no end, stretching forward endlessly, with unchanging scenery no matter which direction they ran. On both sides were only dirty white walls, without a single room to hide in.

“I’ve been thinking, this might be because you haven’t actually been ‘absorbed’ by this space-time fragment yet,” Pu Han spoke while panting heavily, “You’re not a part of this space-time, just a spectator. So it’s hard for you to cause a subversive impact here…”

【And a space-time fragment must have boundaries,】 the Planchette Pen waved its tip, continuing leisurely, 【Just like a line segment must have two endpoints. Without endpoints, the line would extend infinitely.】

The events in this space-time fragment must have an ending for everything to conclude. And Xu Turan, as an outsider, could have limited influence on this ending.

The Planchette Pen took advantage of the situation: 【If you help me unseal part of my seal now, I’ll…】

“No help, get lost,” Xu Turan said without thinking, then turned to Pu Han, “By the way, since I can have limited influence, what about you? Can’t you just take them all out?”

Pu Han opened his mouth as if to speak, but before he could make a sound, he choked himself, turning his head to start coughing pitifully.

He coughed while clutching his chest, like a delicate flower swaying in the wind and rain.

Xu Turan: … Never mind, forget I asked.

“…What I’m more concerned about is, why did you take off that person’s pants earlier?”

Pu Han, being dragged behind by Xu Turan, finally caught his breath and couldn’t help but ask: “Although I admit, seeing that big fool chasing us in boxer shorts was quite interesting, it seems a bit too vulgar, and my Feifei is still here…”

Implying that Xu Turan’s direct method of removing someone’s pants had offended his wife’s eyes.

Xu Turan: “…”

“I told you—I didn’t intend to take off his pants!” Xu Turan looked disgustedly at the jeans in her hand and took a deep breath, “I wanted the key on them, but the key ring was stuck on his waistband! I couldn’t pull it off no matter what, what else could I do!”

She would have preferred to just take the key and run. But her physical attacks had no effect on these guys, and her control effects all had time limits. It was already difficult enough to find an opportunity to forcibly strip off these pants with the key attached!

Moreover, if it weren’t for Pu Han’s terrible stamina, forcing her to drag him along as they ran, she could have easily freed up one hand to undo the key ring from the pants while running…

Xu Turan looked at the crumpled fabric in her hand, her real target—that silver key hanging on the key ring was swinging back and forth, making her increasingly depressed.

The reason she wanted to grab the key was because of the inspiration from her previous experience. When Xu Turan was locked alone in the sealed room, it was only after she got the key that the exit door was triggered. And coincidentally, after she and Pu Han entered the state of being chased, they had been forced to run wildly in this endless corridor, going in circles, unable to see any exit…

Xu Turan thought that perhaps here too, a key was needed to activate the exit.

The problem was, she now had the key, but the expected exit had yet to appear—and this was the only key she had found after searching those people.

Had she guessed wrong? Or was this key attached to the pants not the right one, and it needed to be detached…

As Xu Turan was pondering this, Feifei, hanging at Pu Han’s side, suddenly started moving, waving her hand at her repeatedly, pointing at the pants she was holding.

Xu Turan: …?

She half-turned, holding out the pants in confusion.

Feifei didn’t take them, but reached over, feeling around the fabric for a while until she found the loop where the key was hanging, then curled her five fingers and pulled hard—

With a ripping sound, the denim loop broke off. Feifei pinched the forcibly removed key between two fingers, swinging it back and forth happily at Xu Turan.

Xu Turan: …
