Chapter 11: The Beginning of Death (New Book Collection)

The memorial service was solemn and solemn.

First, the pastor gave a speech, then the principal and teacher gave a speech of condolence, and finally Todd made his own speech as a student representative.

The memorial service lasted for 1 hour before it ended, and during this time, Ye Qingzhou sat quietly in his seat and did not do anything else.

Almost all of the survivors of the 180 air crash avoided them, consciously or unconsciously, as if they were terrible devils.

Ye Qingzhou didn't care about this, it was human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

In the past nine years of solitude, Ye Qingzhou has tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings, and he is no stranger to this kind of thing.

At the end of the memorial meeting, the students and teachers left the venue one after another.

Todd walked over to Alex and said with some embarrassment, "Hey, long time no see." ”

"Long time no see, Todd, how are you doing?" Alex spoke.

Todd sighed and said, "Dad is still immersed in the grief of losing his brother, he still doesn't understand your previous hunch, when he is in a better mood, let's go out of town together to go and watch the Yankees baseball team." ”

"It's a deal." Alex nodded.

After thinking about it, Alex continued: "Todd, pay attention to safety lately, trust me, I won't harm you." ”

Todd raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Ye Qingzhou beside him, and said, "Alex, it's been 39 days, and a group of us are safe, do you still believe in Zhou's nonsense?" ”

"What exorcist, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Ye Qingzhou smiled and said, "We humans are always full of fear of the unknown, but you have to remember, Todd, not knowing doesn't mean it doesn't exist. ”

"Zhou, are you still going to talk about the Grim Reaper's nonsense?" Todd pouted.

Ye Qingzhou shook his head and said: "No, I don't want to say anything, to be honest, I don't even want to participate in this memorial meeting." ”

"Then please stay away from Alex and don't affect his judgment." Todd snorted.

"Hey, Todd, we don't mean anything, we just want to save you." Alex spoke.

"Help me? I'm in charge of my own life, and I won't hand it over to any bullshit death! Todd said angrily, "Alex, if you still want to mess around with the boat, then our agreement just now can only be canceled." ”

"Let's go, Claire, it's getting late, it's time to go back and make lunch." Ye Qingzhou didn't argue anymore.

He doesn't really want to waste too much time on things that don't make sense.

Alex also followed to Claire's house, and during this time, he also knew that Ye Qingzhou was staying here, so he often came to visit the house.

Moreover, even the monitoring equipment has been moved here so that Todd can be observed at any time.

Of course, this is Ye Qingzhou's attention, and even the money is paid by Ye Qingzhou.

He sold a $3,000 bow and arrow from the Ultron Club, which he now has enough money to spend.

Alex looked at Ye Qingzhou with a hint of apology, and said, "Zhou, Todd is just unacceptable for a while, I apologize to you for his recklessness." ”

During this time, he has seen Ye Qingzhou's archery with his own eyes, and I am afraid that even if he participates in the Olympic Games, he can easily win the championship.

With this kind of strength at a young age, I'm afraid that only the special identity of an exorcist can do it, right?

Ye Qingzhou smiled and said, "If I had mind his actions, I wouldn't have appeared here." ”

After a pause, he continued: "Okay, we must cheer up in the next period of time, take turns to monitor the video, and notify the other party as soon as possible if there is any abnormality, so as not to have any accidents." ”

Claire's accommodation is not far from Todd's house, a 3-minute drive away.

If Todd was still strangled by the rope hanging his clothes in the bathroom according to the original plot, then it should be too late to save him.

Alex and Claire looked at Ye Qingzhou's serious expression, and their hearts were also nervous, it seems that the Grim Reaper is indeed going to make a move on Todd!

……

At nine o'clock in the evening, Todd stretched and walked into the bathroom.

Thinking of what Ye Qingzhou said a few days ago, he felt a burst of anger for no reason.

Hmph, to hell with all the deaths!

More than 40 days have passed since the crash, and he is still safe and sound, and there is nothing unusual at all.

However, Alex was still messing around with Ye Qingzhou, a strange person, which was really disappointing to him.

Standing in front of the mirror for a while, just as he was about to wash, a gust of wind blew in the room for no reason, making him shiver unconsciously.

He walked to the window and pulled the glass down, and then he lifted the toilet bowl to make it easier.

It's just that he didn't notice that after the wind blew, the door was quietly closed, and the water pipe connected to the toilet began to leak out.

With that, Todd got up, took out the scissors from the bath, and began to cut his nose hair in front of the mirror.

Todd has always been very attentive to his appearance.

Just as he was cutting his nose hair, the water leaking out of the water pipe gradually came closer to him.

After cleaning his nose hair, he turned on the radio next to him and prepared to wash.

But there was a burst of mournful music on the radio, which he had heard at the airport before the crash.

Instinctively feeling a little uncomfortable, Todd directly unplugged the power supply.

I turned around and walked to the bathtub, where clothes were hung with wire.

Putting away the clothes one by one, Todd prepares for a hot bath to relieve the fatigue of the day.

However, as he was about to collect the last piece of clothing, he suddenly stepped on the water stains that had spread under his feet.

His body directly lost its center of gravity and fell forward!

His neck, wrapped around the wire from which he was drying, dragged him into the bathtub.

"Ahhh

Todd tugged hard at the wire behind his neck, kicked his legs wildly, and struggled to get up!

It's just that the bathtub was so slippery that he struggled several times and couldn't get up.

The wire was tightening like pincers around his throat, getting tighter and tighter, and he felt like his breathing was going to stop.

His eyes turned red, he was extremely deprived of oxygen, and his face looked around fiercely, looking for props that could help him get out of trouble.

He saw the scissors that were placed on the bath to cut his nose hair, and there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and he reached out to take the scissors hard.

However, the bathtub was so far away from the bath that he tried to grab the scissors with his hands, but they were still a long way away.

Feeling his mind gradually dizzy, his consciousness gradually blurred, and Todd's heart was in despair.

He knew he was going to die!

For some reason, he suddenly remembered what Ye Qingzhou told him to be careful.

Is that what it means?

I had to listen to him at the time, and I'm afraid I would have escaped this, right?!

It's just that it's useless to regret it now, the bathroom door is closed, and no one can notice the situation here.

He gritted his teeth and clutched the wire behind him, trying to make a final struggle.

However, all this has gone nowhere.

His palms gradually lost strength, the arc of his legs gradually decreased, and his consciousness fell into a blur.

"Bang-"

Just before he was about to fall unconscious, the bathroom door was violently kicked open.
