Another plane crash survivor died!
This made Liu Dun, Carter and Billy, who received the news, very panicked. They all remembered Claire's reminder last night that the god of death would not let anyone on the list go.
If Todd was the only one who died, Carter and his friends could still optimistically attribute it to an accident. However, this morning when Terry went out shopping, she was run over by a fully loaded bus that obviously shouldn't have been driving so fast, forcing them to admit that there might really be a death list in the world.
Teacher Liu was originally planning to move back to her hometown to find a job and make a living, but now that she is on the death list, if she wants to survive, she has to accept Claire's proposal.
Because Claire successfully avoided the pursuit of death once.
The chain car accident that happened in Chinatown was a shocking scene. If you were not careful, you would be crushed into mud by the out-of-control trucks and suffer the same treatment as Terry.
Use a shovel to collect the bodies.
After realizing this, Teacher Liu packed his bags and went to seek asylum.
After her, Carter and Billy also moved to Claire's house with their daily necessities...
One p.m.
Cheng Long looked at Claire, Alex, Carter, Billy, and Teacher Liu who were gathered in the living room on the first floor, and joked, "After all, we are classmates. Don't you plan to go to the funeral home to see Todd and Terry?"
"Uh……"
Claire looked embarrassed. It was okay to go to the funeral home to see Todd, after all, his body was intact, but after seeing Todd, Terry had to see him off.
When she thought of Terry's head being crushed by a speeding, fully loaded bus, she lost the desire to go to the funeral home to visit her classmate.
"Mr. Long, we are now on the death list. It is very dangerous to go out." Alex already had a premonition that the next victim would be the distracted female teacher Liu Dun.
Teacher Liu was wearing western trousers and a cotton sweater, with her long hair casually draped over her shoulders. She looked as if she had lost her spirit, and there was a hint of beauty in her that made her look even more pitiful.
Carter and Billy's mental states are also quite bad, especially Carter. His girlfriend was tragically run over by a bus, and he could only hide in someone else's home to seek shelter. It's just pathetic to think about it.
At this moment, he no longer had the mood to target Alex.
"If you need anything, I can go to the funeral home with you."
Cheng Long was quite interested in the undertaker played by the black man. This old black man seemed to know a lot of things. Even if he was not the incarnation of the god of death, he had a close relationship with the god of death.
I remember in the movie, when Claire and Alex sneaked into the funeral home, the undertaker said to them, "There is no such thing as a wrongful death or a tragic death in the world, there is only a destined death." It sounded like the God of Hell wants you to die at three o'clock in the morning, so who dares to keep you alive until five o'clock?
This is not something an undertaker should say at all.
"Mr. Long, it would be best if you were willing to accompany us."
Alex and Todd are good friends. It is better to go to the funeral home to see their friend now than to attend the funeral in the rain. It has been raining in New York recently and the sky is gloomy. Moreover, you can only see the coffin or the urn, but not the deceased himself.
"Can you guarantee everyone's safety?" Teacher Liu looked up and asked.
"Just follow me closely and nothing will happen." Cheng Long smiled confidently.
With his strength, let alone protecting five people, even if there were a hundred times more, it wouldn't take much energy.
If the Grim Reaper had been destroying planes, causing buses to spin out of control, or planning the Guzheng Project, it wouldn't even be considered a minor incident.
……
Half an hour later.
Six people led by Cheng Long arrived at the funeral home.
Also accompanying them were Agent Locke and three of Locke's colleagues. A large number of police officers previously assigned to Carter and others were all called back.
"It must have been so hard when Todd died!"
In the morgue, Alex looked at his friend lying on the cart and felt very uncomfortable. Anyone who has ever drowned can empathize with the feeling of being strangled to death by wire.
The feeling of being unable to breathe and having a rapid heartbeat will infinitely magnify the fear in a person's heart.
"Although Terry died tragically, it was certainly not as painful as Todd's..." Billy replied with empathy. He had drowned as a child, more than once, and each time he felt like he was going to die.
Fortunately, there were people around him when he drowned, otherwise he would not be alive today.
"boom!"
Carter punched Billy in the face. Billy was caught off guard and staggered, falling directly onto the tool rack beside him.
Liu Dun on the side subconsciously reached out to help Billy, but was knocked down by the other party. He was caught off guard and bumped into him. Undercovers often have to suture corpses, so there are many surgical medical tools. Teacher Liu and Billy stumbled over and the tool rack was overturned on the spot.
One of the scalpels that had not been cleaned yet fell and landed right on Teacher Liu's eyes.
Just as Liu Dun was about to die, a figure suddenly appeared beside Liu Dun and grabbed the scalpel that was accelerating in the air, trying to pierce Liu Dun's head.
"I told you, follow me closely and you will be fine." Cheng Long smiled and helped Teacher Liu up from the ground. At the same time, he stretched out a hand to Billy and pulled him up from the ground.
"Huh~~" Teacher Liu let out a long sigh, and said gratefully with lingering fear: "Mr. Long, thank you. If it weren't for you just now, my eyes would have been blinded."
At the same time, Billy, who had gotten up from the ground, suddenly rushed forward, grabbed Carter by the collar, and angrily scolded: "Carter, what were you crazy about just now? Teacher Liu was almost killed by you, do you know?"
"It was an accident, and it's true that you spoke rudely to Terry. She's dead, and I won't allow you to insult her!"
Carter is Terry's boyfriend. When he heard Billy compare Terry and Todd, and said that Terry, who was crushed to death by a bus, was not as miserable as Todd, he got angry. Is this human language?
Claire, Alex, and Teacher Liu, who had nearly died, suppressed their anger upon hearing this.
Carter was right, the dead should not be compared, and Billy's previous exclamation was indeed wrong.
"Shh~ The morgue needs to be quiet, so as not to wake up the sleeping people."
Just as Carter and Billy were facing each other, a well-dressed black undertaker suddenly walked in from outside and said, "I know who you are. Death is not the end, and escape is not a solution. We are like a mouse, being toyed with by a cat. No matter what we do or what kind of accident we die in, it is a death program. The god of death has written a death program for everyone, and no one can escape it..."
"You mean for us to give up, not resist, and wait to be killed?"
Claire's eyes suddenly became sharp. Persuading people to give up their lives is equivalent to murder. The undertaker in front of her is either evil to the core or has an unknown relationship with the god of death.
"Everyone has a predetermined fate. When the time comes, you must leave. Death doesn't like to be deceived."
The undertaker said these words mysteriously and turned to leave. Before leaving, he did not forget to look at Cheng Long. Coincidentally, Cheng Long was also looking at him, and their eyes met.
"It seems that you know a lot about the God of Death. I have a question and I hope you can answer it."
Cheng Long said jokingly.
There was a faint evil aura about the undertaker. In Western terms, he was tainted with the breath of hell.
But Lao Hei is definitely not the god of death, he is just the spokesperson of the god of death in the world.
"Please say."
The undertaker smiled.
"I wonder...does the Grim Reaper bleed?"
Cheng Long's words, spoken word by word, made the atmosphere suddenly become cold. Lao Hei's calm and composed expression changed instantly. Claire, Alex and others were also shocked by him and were speechless.
Is Long going to declare war on the god of death?
"Young man, don't be too impetuous. Be careful what you say." As the undertaker spoke, a red light bloomed in his pupils, and an evil aura from hell began to spread over his body.
"Whoosh~~"
Cheng Long made a claw-like shape with his right hand and sucked in the air. The big undertaker suddenly slid over uncontrollably.
The next moment, he grabbed Lao Hei's dark throat tightly and then lifted him up into the air.
“Tell me, can God bleed?”
Cheng Long's right hand was like a pair of pliers, tightly strangling the undertaker's fate.
"No, I won't!"
Lao Hei is very tough-talking. In his heart, the god of death is the only true god in the world. Anyone who is targeted by the god of death will fall into hell.
If you anger the god of death, you will never be reborn.
"how about you?"
Cheng Long raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a hint of danger.
Agent Locke sensed something was wrong and rushed forward: "Hey, let go, you'll strangle him to death."
"If he doesn't die, how can the god of death show up?"
Click!
Before he finished speaking, the sound of bones breaking was heard in the morgue.
Then, Cheng Long threw Lao Hei to the ground as if he was throwing away garbage.
When everyone saw this scene, they trembled with fear.
Why did Mr. Long kill someone out of the blue?
What's more, the person he killed was an undertaker he met for the first time. He killed him just because of a disagreement. Is he so crazy?
But before Locke, Alex and others could blame or arrest Cheng Long, they saw the undertaker on the ground suddenly twisting his body, wriggling like a white maggot.
Soon, tears appeared on Lao Hei's body surface, and scarlet blood flowed out from the cracks. His body began to rise at a speed visible to the naked eye, revealing the dark body wrapped in flesh and blood, just like the alien in the movie.
"I bought it!"
"Monster, he is actually a monster!"
"Ugh~~"
Lao Hei suddenly transformed into a hideous and terrifying monster, causing everyone in the morgue to panic and vomit. For a moment, the whole room was filled with an unpleasant, pungent smell.
Cheng Long immediately blocked his breathing and waved his hand. The wall on the right collapsed with a loud bang. A large amount of broken wall fell on Lao Hei who was transforming, tearing off a lot of flesh. The scene became more and more bloody.
The hell creature that Lao Hei transformed into was a slender dog-like monster that could walk upright.
Before he could complete the transformation, one of his arms was broken by the wall. He was really unlucky.
"boom!"
Cheng Long found it boring, so he shot out a beam of real fire, and burned Lao Hei, who had completed his transformation, into ashes.
There are a few hell creatures like this in the funeral home, but he doesn't intend to take action. They are just some minions. These hell creatures don't seem to kill people openly, but hide their identities and publicize the god of death, or like Lao Hei, lure some people to give up struggling and actively accept the god of death.
"Aren't you going to show up yet?"
I thought that if I killed the spokesperson planted by the god of death in the human world, the god of death would show up. I didn't expect that this old man was so patient and refused to leave hell.
Hell is the home of the god of death, and Cheng Long will not come until the last moment.
Next, it depends on who loses patience first.
……
Ever since Lao Hei was killed.
The Grim Reaper was really quiet for a while and didn't attack Claire and her group for a month.
As time went by, Carter, Alex, Liu Dun, and Billy, who moved into Claire's house, gradually began to think about moving out.
Everyone has a different life. Even Alex, who can foresee his own death, has never thought of living in Claire's house.
What's more, they all completed high school, and Claire and Alex both received admission notices from colleges, one to UCLA and the other to MIT.
Carter and Billy, the two children who failed to get into good universities, dropped out of school after Christmas.
Female teacher Liu Dun wanted to move back to her hometown in Ohio to make a living.
"Teacher Liu, since you have already made your decision, I can only wish you a safe journey."
Claire knew that she couldn't persuade Teacher Liu, Alex and the others, so she could only pray in her heart that her classmates and teachers would live in peace.
However, things went counterproductive.
A few days after the female teacher Liu Dun moved out, Cheng Long and Claire received news from Agent Locke that Teacher Liu had died in an accident in Ohio.
For ordinary people, once being targeted by the god of death, it is equivalent to being sentenced to death. You can avoid it on the first day, but you cannot escape it on the fifteenth day. Every inadvertent detail in life may become a fatal factor.
Just like Teacher Liu, who returned to his hometown to herd horses and was preparing to live a stable life, he fell off the horse's back, hit his head on a sharp stone, and died on the spot.
When Alex, Carter and Billy received the news, their faces turned green with fright.
Billy wants to move back to Claire's house and accept Cheng Long's protection, but before he can pack his luggage, the oven in the house suddenly explodes, causing a fire...
"Billy's dead too!"
Half an hour later, Claire, who had learned the news from Agent Locke, said to Cheng Long in panic, "Long, the Grim Reaper is going to kill us all! Who will be the next one? Me, Alex, or Carter?"
"All fears come from insufficient firepower! Claire, although I cannot make you a god directly, I can allow you to master extraordinary abilities before you go to Los Angeles. As long as your reaction ability and strength can keep up, the little tricks of the god of death are just the spice of life."
Cheng Long patted Claire's shoulder with a reassuring smile on his face. From the sneaky little movements of the Grim Reaper, it was not difficult to see that the Grim Reaper in this world was of average strength.
Now he only needs to provide Claire with the blood and essence energy of forty or more people, so that she can have the physical fitness and nerve reaction ability of Captain America or even surpass Captain America, and various accidents in life will not be able to cause harm to Claire.
Of course, the premise is that the God of Death does not take action himself or send creatures from hell to force the situation.
"Dragon, can I also master supernatural powers?"
Claire's eyes lit up. All her hard work over the past month was not in vain. She had finally used the most gentle weapon of a woman to touch the man's heartstrings and make him care about her.
"Yes, close your eyes."
"Hmm~~" (End of this chapter)
