Chapter 3: A Gamble from Death
"Sometimes death doesn't mean the end, because new life is being born. The girl also stopped, "Their children will be happy." ”
"Little girl, I borrowed your good words. I never thought that the person who took me away was a pretty girl. The old lady seemed to be in a better mood and stopped looking at her son and daughter-in-law.
"Old lady...... Let's go. Wang Ge licked his lips and walked over to the old man.
"There is another one, there are actually two people who came to take me away, how can I not walk well. The old man seemed a little surprised that there was anyone other than the girl with the umbrella who could see her soul.
"Ah...... I'm not ......" The king pigeon seems to be a little incoherent.
Unexpectedly, the girl was in a hurry, and quickly drew a circle in the air, urging the old man to go in first, and the old man stepped into the circle with his front feet and disappeared directly.
The girl put away her umbrella and took the king pigeon's arm to the corner of the stairs.
"Don't think you can do anything wrong if you can see death and souls! Do you know what the consequences of communicating with ordinary people and spirits? If you are found by the enforcers, you will be abolished!" the girl almost shouted. She realized that her voice was a little loud, and quickly looked around, and only after seeing that only a few nurses had looked at the place a few more times, and did not make much movement, she was relieved.
"I've never seen a living person who can see the Grim Reaper and the soul, and even the communication between the Grim Reaper and the soul will be strictly controlled, and it's a strict violation for me to talk to you like this, you know? Those law enforcers can't wait to catch my violation and take my Grim Reaper's job! Can't let that group of filthy things take over my work. Take 10,000 steps back, and find an alien like you who can see death and souls, and they will use the harshest means to erase your existence!" the girl spoke very quickly.
"What is the harshest measure?" Wang Ge also realized that there was something wrong with his behavior, and seemed to be sorry for the trouble caused to the girl, and his voice was much quieter.
"Draining the power from your soul will of course cause great damage to your body, and you will go through yourself in a state of madness. The girl explained.
"I'm sorry...... I didn't realize it was so serious. The king pigeon scratched his head. "So...... Is there really no way......?
"No, I can't help you. The girl shook her head like a rattle, and her straight hair was shaking. She turned around and prepared to leave, but the moment she took her first step, something suddenly occurred to her and she turned around again.
"Actually...... Anyway, the illegal things have already been done, and I am not afraid to do more. Sooner or later, you will be caught by those law enforcers, so it's better to play a game with them, and it will give you a chance. The girl looked down at the ground, fiddling with her long-handled umbrella.
"You mean, there's a way?" said the king pigeon. In fact, he was still immersed in self-blame, if he didn't ask Lan Xin to go out, Lan Xin wouldn't have had an accident.
"And do you dare to make a bet with me?" the girl smirked.
"Bet on what?" Wang Ge was interested, as long as he could save Lan Xin, he was willing to do anything, not only the guilt in his heart, but also the love for Lan Xin in his heart over the years.
"Just bet on the fate of the two of you. As long as you win, I will return Lan Xin's soul to her body, soldiers and restore her memory, it can be seen that you love her very much, if you lose, Lan Xin's Yang Shou will still be exhausted after three years, there is no loss for her, but you still have about sixty years of Yang Shou left, you have to hand it all over to me, of course, this job is also relatively good, become a temporary Grim Reaper, but you can't contact your family, because for them, you are dead. ”
"What do you bet on?" said the king pigeon, who was fighting a strong ideological struggle. If he loses, it means that he can't fulfill his filial piety, can't spend happy times with his relatives, and is separated from this world.
The girl smiled, "Before I say it, you have to think about it, after Lan Xin comes back, she may not necessarily accept your love, this can't be reversed, and I can't control a person's feelings." ”
The king pigeon is still persistent. "I know. ”
"Just as long as Lan Xin's Yang Shou is limited, within three years, you have to use various methods to prevent people's souls from being taken away by death. You should know that I'm not alone in the Grim Reaper. Stop us, save their souls, reach three thousand, and I will give you back your Lan Xin. If you fail, even if there is only one person left in the end, I will not have any mercy, not only will I deprive Lan Xin of her life immediately, but you will also be drained of your soul and become a god of death to serve me, of course, as a punishment, your memory will not be erased. You have to watch your loved ones being taken away by other Grim Reapers, and there is nothing you can do. The girl's smile became brighter and brighter, this kind of thing is a very serious violation in the underworld, and there has never been a precedent.
It's just a simple game for this Grim Reaper girl. But for the king pigeon, this can be regarded as a gamble on his whole life.
Is it worth it?, the king pigeon asked himself in his heart. Is it worth it to gamble your whole life for the sake of a girl?
The consequences of failure can be severe. Saving people from the hands of death?
What is the Grim Reaper? An unknown being with supernatural and superscientific abilities who can take away people's souls. What if the Grim Reaper doesn't like him in the process and takes him away?
The girl seemed to see the king's thoughts, and took out a wooden sign.
"This sign is called the Zhenshen card, from the underworld, it was originally something to prevent the gods of death from talking, but if you lose it, you will be sentenced to a felony, so I found the material in the underworld, secretly copied one, and mixed it with the things of the law enforcers, whether it is other gods of death or law enforcers, they don't dare to approach you easily. The same thing on them will sound the alarm. Even if you discover the existence of someone like you who can see the god of death and the soul, you don't dare to deal with it easily. If Hades were to come in person, then I wouldn't be able to do it. As far as I know, he hasn't been out of the underworld for thousands of years, and his business is too busy. You can rest assured that you're safe. ”
But...... How can we save people? Three years, 3,000 people. It is a thousand people in a year, but there are only 365 days in a year. Where to save so many people, where to find souls who are about to break out of their shells, and how can they be faster than the elusive Grim Reaper?
The king pigeon doubts his own abilities. It's almost an impossible task.
The girl looked at her watch, "I'm going back to filling out the form, there's still a lot of work to be done today." I'm not going to force you, but if you think she's really that important, knock this wooden sign in the mirror three times before twelve o'clock tonight, and I'll come to you. When the time comes, you will tell me your decision. I advise you to be cautious, once the bet is made, it cannot be changed. But the opportunity is only this once, you think about it. “
The girl threw the wooden card into the air, and the moment the king pigeon reached out to catch it, her body suddenly disappeared.
The wooden plaque is dark brown, with a simple wood grain on it, cold to the hand, a little heavy, and depicts the seal of the law that the king pigeon cannot understand at all. At the bottom are written in three large traditional characters.
"Soul Suppression Card"
How do you save people? 3,000 people in three years, this is too difficult. The king pigeon muttered again.
What happened today was chaotic, but his mind was still clear enough. Although there is a method in front of him that can save Lan Xin, this method is unusual, and it is very likely to put himself in it.
He couldn't guarantee that the unreliable and insane female Grim Reaper would be able to fulfill the bet, or that the one-sided bet would continue.
He pondered these questions as he got on the bus home. He was still rubbing the god card in his hand.
Wang Ge's parents, Wang Jiancheng and Zhao Xueqin, obviously noticed that something was wrong with him, but they didn't ask too much, just thought that the date with Lan Xin was not going well, and quickly pulled Wang Ge to the dinner table.
"Son, daughter-in-law has it, mom will ask your aunt to find you tomorrow, no better than Nalan Xin......" The more Zhao Xueqin said, the more she felt that her son's face was wrong, and her voice became smaller and smaller. Wang Jiancheng looked at her hard.
"Dad, Mom, I'm fine, let you worry about it. I don't have a good appetite, so you eat first. After saying a word to his parents, he went back to his room and threw himself into bed.
The town god card in his pocket hiccuped him, and he flipped it out again. This wooden brand is like a stone, cool to the bone, and it seems to make people feel a little comfortable in summer.
"Exam for the police, be a doctor, be a firefighter?" Wang Ge has thought about almost all the ways to save people, either unrealistic, or too far away, it can't be achieved at all, even if it can be realized, it will be three years later, and there is no way to complete it on time.
Three years, mainly three years, this is the biggest difficulty. This means that the king pigeon must not be delayed at all, it must be from now on.
"If there is a war in China, then I only need to play a special era character, and I can save 3,000 people casually. Wang Ge shook his head, and quickly threw this terrible thought out of his head, since he was a child, he was not a person who wanted to come out.
A siren outside the window caught his attention. He walked over to the window and looked out to see an ambulance whizzing down the street below the back window.
By the way, ambulance! The king pigeon suddenly remembered that as long as the dying person could be treated in time, so that he could be rescued as quickly as possible after the accident, and the Grim Reaper could be prevented from taking away his soul, wouldn't it also be a saving person? In this way, three thousand people in three years did not seem to be an impossible task.
After all, the Grim Reaper Girl doesn't have a rule about how much she can't die.
Wang Ge quickly turned on the computer and rummaged through the ambulance driver entry requirements of the local hospital.
This seemingly simple profession seems to have very unusual requirements.
Over 22 years old, just the right age.
A1 driver's license, this king pigeon is there. He graduated from an auto repair school and obtained this driver's license early, which will make it easier to find a job in the future. This is the highest level of ordinary driver's license that can be obtained in Japan. It's very difficult, there are a lot of items, and you need to take the exam every year.
Generally, people with this kind of driver's license are engaged in jobs that are a matter of human life.
No criminal record. Just kidding, the king pigeon usually doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, and its combat effectiveness is less than a goose, let alone breaking the law and committing crimes.
There are only these three prerequisites for the above to be stuck. Everything else is a bit of a soft requirement. The king pigeon strengthened his convictions.
