three days later.
In the suburbs of New York, in Claire's yard.
Claire, who was wearing a seductive tights, suddenly exerted force and smashed the wooden frame weighing more than 500 kilograms into pieces with one punch, with debris flying all over the sky.
"Dragon, my strength has become stronger again."
Claire turned around excitedly and said to Cheng Long excitedly: "I am so strong now that even if Death comes, I can slap him a few times. Then I will point at his nose and tell him that women are not to be messed with."
"Haha~~" Cheng Long smiled and walked forward, pinching Claire's confident cheek; "Claire, you are a little bit arrogant now. With your strength, it is difficult to deal with the hell creatures in the funeral home. You actually dare to have a crazy idea and slap the god of death."
"What's there to be afraid of? As long as he dares to come, I will dare to take action."
Over the past three days, Claire, who has obtained the blood and essence energy of sixty people, is now full of confidence. She can now easily lift a small car and walk on the road. No matter where in the world, in the sky or underground, she can calmly avoid any deadly danger in any corner.
When Claire went out alone on the street these two days, she avoided several out-of-control dump trucks, as well as rubble that collapsed from the roadside, vases that fell from the sky, and nails that were scattered on the sidewalk and stood up for some reason.
There were more than twenty threats, big and small.
Gradually, the god of death, who posed a fatal threat to ordinary people, no longer posed a threat to Claire.
It is self-confidence and also a manifestation of a significant improvement in personal strength.
Just as Cheng Long said, all the fear came from insufficient firepower. Now that Claire has absorbed the blood and energy of sixty people and her normal strength is between 5-11 tons, she naturally lost her fear of death.
"Look what you can do!"
Cheng Long rubbed Claire's head. The tenderness in his gesture made Claire's eyes full of love. She couldn't help but stand on tiptoe and give him a passionate kiss.
So, the two of them started a fierce verbal battle in the courtyard.
"Jingle Bell……"
Not long after, the phone in the room suddenly rang.
Claire reluctantly let go of Cheng Long and trotted into the living room.
"Claire, Carter just drove off the Brooklyn Bridge and drowned. Now you and I are the only survivors on Flight 180. I will be the next person to die in an accident. What should I do? Claire..."
Alex on the other end of the phone became more and more excited. Of the eight survivors of Flight 180, five died one after another. Among the remaining three, Mr. Long possessed extraordinary abilities and dared to kill even monsters from hell, so he would not die easily. Claire had Mr. Long to take care of her, so the next victim would be him.
So, Alex was extremely panicked at the moment, fearing that the god of death would come in the next second and kill him in an unpredictable way.
"Alex, I know you are panicking now, but don't panic. Death is not scary! As long as you are careful enough, you can avoid most of the hidden risks. As for the remaining part, I will beg the dragon to grant you supernatural powers. Then you will be fearless like me."
Claire was very clear about Cheng Long's abilities. If he was willing, the five people who died before would not have to die, but she would not blame the man for this.
First of all, Cheng Long had nothing to do with them. Secondly, Long had given these people a chance to move here to avoid danger. They moved away only after they had lived here for a long time and felt that the pursuit of death was over.
Long has done his best.
But now, besides her and Cheng Long, the only survivor on Flight 180 is Alex.
This made Claire very worried. If Alex died too, she would really be left with no friends.
"Claire, is this really possible?"
Alex said excitedly.
He was aware of the various dangers Claire had encountered when going out in recent days, and he would break out in a cold sweat every time. If he had encountered those assassinations, he would not have survived until now.
In fact, as there are fewer and fewer people on the death list, his ability to predict danger has become increasingly worse. Now he can barely sense a little bit, but he cannot guarantee that he can always predict in advance and accurately avoid threats against himself.
"Just wait for the news!"
Claire said it lightly, but after hanging up the phone, she was reluctant to speak.
Although she didn't know how Cheng Long gave her the ability, she could figure it out. Granting others supernatural powers was definitely not as easy as she imagined.
Otherwise, based on her understanding of men, Liu Dun, Carter and others would have acquired extraordinary abilities when they stayed at her house.
"Claire, I heard your conversation with Alex. I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your request. Supernatural powers are a double-edged sword. While you can protect yourself, you can also easily hurt others."
"So, you refused?"
Claire felt a little disappointed. Over the past period of time, Long had always been very nice to her and almost always responded to her requests.
Today was the first time she was rejected, and it would definitely not be the last.
"Yes, but I can show Alex a way to survive."
Cheng Long did not intend to waste his energy on strangers, and gave Claire 60 portions simply because Claire was obedient and cooperated in all postures.
And Alex is just an insignificant passerby.
"You've given up. Is there still a chance for him to survive?"
Claire retorted subconsciously.
Alex was her classmate and the only friend she could talk to. But the man who had slept with her for a month or two said he would not help her. Isn't this asking Alex to die?
"Of course there is. Live in a room that doesn't have any danger. As long as someone delivers three meals a day, nothing will happen to you." The way to survive provided by Cheng Long is the same as the means used by Claire in the original movie to protect herself by living in a mental hospital as a last resort.
It’s just that Alex has parents and doesn’t need to live in a mental hospital.
Creating a safe room at home with no belongings is no less effective than moving into a mental hospital.
At least the three meals a day are definitely more nutritious than those provided by a mental hospital. Parents will not let their children starve.
"..."
Claire remained silent after hearing this.
The way to survive that Cheng Long provided was no different from imprisonment.
But she had to admit that living in a safe house and being out of touch with society and becoming socially dead was indeed a way to escape the pursuit of death.
When Alex's family got the way to survive pointed out by Cheng Long, Alex's parents called the construction team without hesitation and built a safe house in their own yard.
There was only a TV embedded in the wall, a flush toilet, a sink and a bed.
In addition, every corner of the room was covered with thick sponge to prevent Alex from falling and hitting his head. The toilet and sink were also covered with sponge.
For the sake of their child, Alex's parents have thought of everything. Even the tableware used to serve meals is plastic. They do not provide plastic knives and forks, only plastic soup spoons.
Alex's voluntary isolation from the world meant ruining his own future, and he could no longer attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which he had finally been admitted to.
This made Alex very distressed. He felt that life was boring and became more and more taciturn.
……
half year later.
Malibu Beach in Los Angeles. Inside a bar.
Cheng Long was wearing floral shorts and a floral shirt, drinking beer leisurely, when the news suddenly interrupted the TV playing singing and dancing.
"Good afternoon, viewers. Now it's the midday news. CNN radio host Joey is reporting to you..."
"Just half an hour ago, a private plane in New York suddenly lost control and crashed into the backyard of a residential building, killing several people. Three of them were the helicopter pilot, a congressman and his female companion, and the last one was named Alex. I believe many of you remember the explosion of Flight 180 last year. Eight passengers got off the plane early and escaped the disaster. Alex was one of them."
"It was he who foresaw the danger and kept clamoring to get off the plane..."
"Unfortunately, Alex could predict that the plane would explode, but he couldn't predict that the private plane passing over his cabin would lose control."
"So far, the only survivors who managed to escape the disaster last year are a girl named Claire and a Chinese tourist in the United States..."
Seeing this, Cheng Long couldn't help but sigh inwardly, the god of death is now against him!
Kill when you get the chance!
It seems that the Grim Reaper had been waiting for a long time for the plane passing over Alex's safe house. As soon as the plane appeared in the sky, the Grim Reaper couldn't help but take action.
In order to kill Alex, the Grim Reaper did not hesitate to implicate three innocent people.
"Good for you."
Cheng Long put down his wine glass, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
In the past six months, he did not follow Claire, but traveled around the world. It was only half a month ago that he returned to Citi and appeared in Los Angeles.
The reason for coming here, of course, is because Claire is studying at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Since the pursuit of the Grim Reaper has not ended, various accidents always happen around Claire, resulting in her having no friends around her for half a year in school. She is alone every day, and other people try to avoid her when they see her.
Because she is like a bad luck god. Not only does she suffer bad luck, but people who get close to her will also suffer bad luck.
In the past six months, at least twenty teachers and students at the University of California, Los Angeles have been injured by her, three of whom required amputation.
Although the injuries to these people were all accidents, because Claire was there every time, plus the Flight 180 incident and the news of the death list, Claire's book read like a ghost.
Every time they entered the lecture hall, the students would hide three feet away, and even the instructor on the podium didn't dare to approach.
Cheng Long's arrival brought a ray of sunshine to Claire, who had lost her smile.
As soon as the holiday came, Claire accompanied Cheng Long to Marbury Beach to enjoy sunbathing.
only……
The news that Alex had suffered an unexpected disaster instantly ruined Claire's good mood.
"Long, is it true that we can't escape the pursuit of the god of death?"
She had suffered twenty or thirty assassination attempts in half a year. If it weren't for Claire's extraordinary nerve reaction ability, she would have died before Alex.
"There is a saying in our country: 'You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can never be on guard against thieves for a thousand days.' Now the Grim Reaper is that thief. If we don't kill him, you and I will never be able to enjoy peace."
Cheng Long originally thought that Alex could survive by hiding in the safe house, but who would have thought that while he was watching TV at home, a plane suddenly fell from the sky and most of his head was cut off by the wing.
Alex's death was so tragic!
"Then when will we do it?"
Claire has obviously lost her patience and wants to fight to the death.
She had had enough of the days of living in fear.
"Then let's do it tonight!"
At this moment, the two suddenly felt the ground begin to shake violently, and people on the street screamed.
"Kakaka~~!"
The building behind Cheng Long made a crisp sound and cracked into pieces. Countless pieces of rubble fell down and smashed the pedestrians on the street into a bloody mess.
In an instant, dozens or even hundreds of people were killed or injured.
And this is just the beginning.
Because the earthquake didn't just occur beneath their feet, but occurred throughout the Los Angeles area.
"No way, is it such a big deal?"
Looking at the shaking Los Angeles and the crumbling skyscrapers, Cheng Long was completely dumbfounded. Just to kill Claire, so many innocent people were killed?
wrong!
The god of death is coming for me!
"Is it because I wanted to kill him?"
Cheng Long suddenly thought that if it was really because of his murderous intent that caused the God of Death to go crazy and make such a big move, then the power of the God of Death might be stronger than he imagined.
Rumble!
Half of the building fell from the sky and hit the road without any warning.
Dozens of cars were pierced by the concrete blocks, causing countless casualties. One of the flying pieces seemed to have eyes and flew towards Claire's head.
"Fake!"
Claire picked up a bench and slapped away the deadly cement block that was flying towards her. She said angrily, "Long, where is the Grim Reaper? Take me there quickly. I want to kill him!"
Looking at such a crazy Grim Reaper who didn't take human life seriously, Claire was really angry.
The whole Los Angeles was shaking. A super earthquake broke out without any warning, causing seawater to flood back and buildings to collapse. Such a horrific natural disaster would kill countless people.
"Don't worry, come with me to a place first, saving people is important."
Cheng Long put his arm around Claire's waist and teleported to the underground parking lot of a company.
"No, Daniel, don't leave me..."
A girl trapped in a car shouted hysterically at a middle-aged man, but the man ignored her and rushed to the corridor alone, leaving the girl behind.
The luxury car the girl was riding in had a large cement block on top, weighing at least 500 kilograms. Two adults would have to use tools to move it, not to mention a woman trapped in the car.
"Help me, my legs are stuck~~"
The girl found Cheng Long and Claire in the parking lot and immediately asked for help.
The earthquake was still going on, the whole building was shaking, and blocks of concrete were falling from the roof from time to time. She didn't have much time left.
"Don't worry, miss. We'll come to you right away."
Cheng Long stepped forward quickly and lifted the cement block weighing four or five hundred kilograms with one hand. Claire quickly opened the car door and pulled the girl out.
The rescue was so fast that the trapped girl was rescued before she could even react.
The girl took a long time to come back to her senses and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you, my name is Blake..." (End of this chapter)
