Chapter 39: The Power of Death

Lin Yu remembered the new ability he had obtained after upgrading to the Grim Reaper level LV2, the Prophet. The Grim Reaper Game didn't give any explanation for this ability, and at that time, Lin Yu was thinking about his grandmother's condition, so he didn't delve into it. Now that he suddenly saw this strange phenomenon, Lin Yu immediately felt that it must have something to do with his prophetic ability.

Lin Yu noticed that it was the direct contact between his grandmother's palm and the back of his hand that would cause the Arabic numeral to appear without warning, perhaps this was the prerequisite for activating the prophetic power. Needless to say, except for themselves, neither mother nor grandmother could see that number, and their expressions were exactly the same as just now, without any change.

"Xiaoyu, what's wrong with you, why are you looking at grandma with this expression?" Grandma noticed the exaggerated change in Lin Yu's face, and asked completely unclear.

Lin Yu quickly calmed down, he tried his best not to look at the weird number, and a smile appeared on his face, "Grandma, you can rest first, and I'll call you when lunch is ready." ”

Grandma nodded, and lay down on the bed again with Lin Yu's support, maybe after talking for so long, grandma was already very tired, and not long after lying down, Lin Yu heard the sound of even breathing from grandma.

The mother went back to the kitchen, and today her son came back, and for lunch she wanted to add another good dish, half a bucket of loaches that had just been dug out of the paddy field last night.

There is no vegetable market in this small mountain village, at most there is a pork vendor at the entrance of the village, and the frequency of appearance is once a week. The reason for this phenomenon is that every household in the village is basically self-sufficient, they grow vegetables for each season, raise a large flock of chickens and ducks, and occasionally go to the creek to catch a few fish, and go to the mountains to catch some game, so there is no need for a vegetable market in the city.

Every time it is time to harvest, there will be a large number of loaches and yellow eels in the paddy fields, and Lin Yu's father only dug a small piece of land last night and caught a small half bucket of loaches, which is enough for the family to eat beautifully.

While Yan Lizhen was busy turning the most primitive loach into a delicious meal, Lin Yu was thinking about the meaning of the number in his room. He tried to send an inquiry message in the Grim Reaper game, but this time the Grim Reaper didn't give him any answer. Lin Yu had to rely on some details to speculate that since his identity was the Grim Reaper, and the ability he obtained was called a prophet, then he must be able to foresee some future scenarios related to the Grim Reaper's profession.

If this number is related to the revenant, then does it represent a number, or a time?

The latter idea made Lin Yu shocked, if the number represents time, then when this number becomes zero, it means that grandma will disappear from the world?

This seems to be a bold assumption, but in fact it is completely reasonable, as the Grim Reaper does not need to know the number of each soul, but must know the time when each soul leaves the world, this is the prophetic power of the Grim Reaper!

Lin Yu hurriedly returned to his grandmother's room again, he felt that his guess was correct, so the unit of the number was particularly important, is it a minute, an hour, or a day?

These three units are very different from grandma, Lin Yu roughly calculated, if it represents minutes, then grandma's remaining life is only a short three days.

Lin Yu didn't care about the grandmother who was resting, so he rushed to her bedside and looked at the number suspended on the top of the milk **, 4391, still 4391!

Lin Yu almost let out a cheer in his heart, at least he could exclude the first unit, this number represents not minutes, but hours or days.

If it was an hour, it would be 183 days, if it was a day, it would be a full 12 years! Lin Yu couldn't remember if it had been an hour since he first met his grandmother, and he couldn't wait to run to the kitchen to ask his mother what time he had returned home.

But the mother couldn't remember the exact time, so she asked suspiciously, "Son, are you hungry for a while?" ”

Lin Yu had no choice but to retreat, his mood was even more uneasy than just now, the two units of hour and day meant two completely different results to him, half a year of life and a full twelve years. How Lin Yu thought that an hour had passed, and grandma could still accompany him in this home for a long time.

Mother has always been an expert in cooking, no matter how ordinary the ingredients are, after passing through her hands, they will become a mouth-watering delicacy like magic, not to mention that there is a dish of Lin Yu's favorite loach in today's dish.

However, watching his mother bring one dish after another to the table, Lin Yu always frowned, as if he was not interested in those delicacies.

Yan Lizhen looked at her son's expression, and then looked at the dishes she brought out and there was nothing wrong with it, and muttered to herself, could it be that her son has been on the train for too long and has no appetite for even eating?

"Xiaoyu, go get the bowl, your father should almost come back," Yan Lizhen ordered.

Lin Yu just answered, but his body didn't move, he was still sitting at the dining table in a daze, thinking about something. Yan Lizhen didn't care too much, she re-entered the kitchen, and as long as she fried another green vegetable, she could start the meal.

In fact, Lin Yu's mind at this time could be described as a blank, he knew that as time passed, the time limit of one hour was getting closer and closer, and it might even have exceeded an hour. So whether grandma can live for half a year or twelve years, in fact, the answer may have already been achieved, but Lin Yu didn't dare to walk into his grandmother's room at this time, he was afraid that the number he saw had changed from 4391 to 4390.

"Xiaoyu, why don't you say a word to your family when you come back?" A thick voice sounded at the gate, and Lin Yu didn't have to look back to know that it was his father who came back.

"Dad," Lin Yu turned around from a somewhat sluggish state, and only one word came out of his mouth.

In fact, there is not much verbal communication between father and son, Lin Yu's father just glanced at his son, and said with understanding, "Are you worried about grandma, don't be afraid, in my opinion, grandma will live to be at least eighty years old." ”

Lin Yu's father has always been happy, although his education level is not high, but he is much more open-minded than many people in the city, which is what Lin Yu admires his father.

"Now that lunch is ready, Xiaoyu, you go and help grandma out, and it's rare for our family to have a reunion dinner," said his father as he stood at the door and shook the dirt off his body.
