Chapter 435: Attack on Death
February 8th.
"Mother".
The number of missing people is 27, and 1 person suffered a fracture from a fall.
27/13672。
In front of the window of the hotel room, the grim reaper in a black cloak floated in the air, staring at Gu Yun from afar.
People came and went downstairs in the hotel, and no one noticed this unscientific figure in the sky.
"I suggest you come in and talk, and I won't pinch you."
Gu Yun looked strangely at the Grim Reaper who was hiding outside the window and refused to enter the house, and there was a neck sleeve on the neck of the cloak - this Grim Reaper came here early in the morning and said that he had something important to say to him, but he refused to hold it tightly, and kept a distance of more than five meters from him at all times.
Neurotic, he's not some kind of devil, is it necessary?
"I'll say the ugly things first."
Death cleared his throat and said, "See the barbs on it?" This neck sleeve is made of the most poisonous death knell vine in the dead world, whether it is the living or the dead, once scratched by the thorns of the death knell vine, the soul will fly away in an instant! ”
After warning Gu Yun, the Grim Reaper slowly floated into the room, but she still held the sickle tightly and refused to let go for a moment.
After encountering Gu Yun the night before, she secretly swore that no one would be able to choke his neck from now on.
No one!
In order to realize this grand wish, she asked someone to take the barb of the death knell vine from the world of the dead overnight, which is highly poisonous and can even erase the soul, and made this artifact with her own hands.
"You're too dangerous, aren't you?"
"Hmph, it's good that you know."
"I'm talking about yourself, what if you accidentally cut the back of your hand while eating?"
Gu Yun pointed to the special neck sleeve around the neck of the god of death, he was now sincerely worried about the other party's personal safety, "There are such long barbs in the front of the neck, it is easy to cut the back of the hand when eating steamed buns or bread." ”
As he spoke, he kindly gestured for the other party to accidentally scratch the back of his hand by a barb on his neck when he was eating steamed buns.
"We don't need to eat."
"What about bathing? It's also easy to have accidents when you take off your clothes. ”
"We don't need to take a shower."
"Wow."
This time, it was Gu Yun's turn to instinctively take half a step back.
The voice sounded like a girl, but she didn't even take a bath, and it seems that the level of hygiene in the world of the dead is really worrying.
"What kind of expression do you have, old lady, I am a spirit body, as long as I don't devour more than 100 skunk souls in one go, my body will not appear to be complete, ah——! Do you have any comments! ”
This guy is super annoying!
If she hadn't beaten the other party, even if the world of the dead didn't name this person's soul, she would definitely have made an exception to send him there!
And it's the most dangerous place, so that he lives with the worst of the necromancers every day!
"You calm down first!"
Seeing that the god of death fell into a state of madness, brandishing the sickle in an orderly manner, Gu Yun could only persuade her with good words, if she continued, the electrical appliances in the hotel room would be wiped out, and he would be the one who lost the money at that time, "I believe in you, even if you don't take a bath, you can live strongly." ”
"Don't talk about it again!"
Realizing his gaffe, the Grim Reaper took a few deep breaths and barely adjusted his emotions, I came to you for the last time.
"Those 13,672 people?"
"Of the 13,672 people, 27 have been killed, and I don't know if you did it, but I've heard that you made a lot of noise at the construction site near the city center, and the monsters entrenched in one place have been destroyed."
"So, the crisis is over?"
"That's what I thought."
If the monster bred beneath the surface of the city center is allowed to grow, sooner or later the citizens of the entire city may become its food, and considering the rate of its growth, it is not surprising that 13,672 people will die.
And this monster is very special, it does not seem to directly devour the soul of the deceased, but integrates the broken body and organs of the deceased into the body, leaving the soul to remain in the present world.
"However, after it was destroyed, the number did not change, and the 27 people it killed, we could not channel their souls to the world of the dead."
"Don't give up."
"Shut up!"
Why is it that an ordinary person now runs to guide them on how the Grim Reaper should work?
"Listen, that monster, it's just one of the culprits who caused the death of 13,672 people, what's really tricky is the mastermind behind bringing these monsters to X City, in the coming days, similar monsters may appear at any time, the next presumed death toll is 437 people, next time, I hope you can catch up with the monster."
For the general public, the deaths of 27 people and 437 people are already extremely large numbers, once they occur, they will definitely arouse widespread concern in the society, and even cause panic, but with the number of 13672, it can only be described as a drop in the bucket.
"However, your operation is still effective this time, although 27 people have died, but the initial presumed number is 312."
When talking to the god of death, Gu Yun had a strange feeling.
It seems that for her, death is just a pure number and does not cause any emotional fluctuations.
"In other words, if the number of people is used as a criterion, the danger level of the next monster will be higher than this time?"
"That's right."
"Where exactly did it appear?"
"I don't know, our Grim Reaper is not an omniscient and omnipotent character, at best, we can only have a premonition of possible casualties."
Not only the place, but also the time cannot be determined.
It could be tomorrow, it could be ten days later, or it could be that while they were talking, the dead had already appeared.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
Suddenly the Grim Reaper thought of something, and said, "It has something to do with the human you saved last time." ”
"Oh?"
"A friend of mine told me that the last time Jiang Qi failed to die 'as scheduled', it seemed that he had offended a very talented person, and those people should not give up."
In fact, she also felt a little strange about this matter, before that, the boss had never named someone's life, and although they were powerful, they almost never interfered with the rules of the living world.
Now it seems that the person named is not the boss, but the "very talented person".
What is the origin of this Jiang Qi, who can still provoke people in the world of the dead?
"In the coming days, there may be other Grim Reapers, and according to the agreement, I will try my best to protect Jiang Qi's safety."
It's unheard of for a Grim Reaper to act to protect an ordinary person from being hunted down by other Grim Reapers, but she, a newcomer who has just left the world of the dead, has suffered this rare misfortune.
"So I want to ask you, who is Jiang Qi you? Why do you protect her even if you go against death? ”
Even if he is a soul eliminator, he will never dare to take money to fight against death.
So there is only one possibility.
Could it be that Gu Yun is Jiang Qi's legendary scandal......
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I pinched her neck before, and now I'm a little unhappy."
"Perverted ——!"
