Chapter Twenty-Nine: There Is No Escape
Whether it was stepping on an uncovered manhole cover on the road, or being hit by an air raid on a high-rise street with building materials, or being hit by an out-of-control car, Gao Jian was able to escape death, although most of this was due to Qi Bing's very superior natural spiritual ability protection, but Gao Jian also contributed to it.
Because he has grown accustomed to it...... Accustomed to this feeling of being on the verge of life and death.
Some people say: adversity can really make a person. So...... According to this logic, in just half a day, Gao Jian has obviously been shaped with super speed and super strength.
He doesn't know how many times he has watched a slice of his life, how many times he has escaped from heaven in a moment before turning into meat sauce, and if he converts these experiences into a certain amount, it is enough to make a heart disease person get sick and die more than a hundred times.
At this time, Gao Jian was simply numb in the face of disasters and sudden accidents, and the lower limit of his psychological endurance was refreshed again and again...... It is estimated that he will not feel anything about riding a roller coaster or watching a horror movie in the future, because these are not worth mentioning compared to facing death.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Qi Bing had already left the city with Gao Jian, and at this moment the two of them were standing in a wasteland on the outskirts, with nothing but weeds around.
"Qi Bing...... Why don't you sit down and rest for a while, I think it's safe here. Gao Jian suggested.
Qi Bing shook his head: "I don't care, my physical strength is still enough, when I get here, it is much safer than in the city, in a place where there are no artificial facilities, as long as there is no meteorite hitting me, or there is a very violent crustal change, I can basically deal with various situations." ”
Gao Jian was relieved when he heard this, and said a little lightly: "Hehe...... You are really powerful, if it weren't for today's incident, I would never believe that there are spiritual abilities in the world, and it is impossible to think that you Qi Bing is one of them. ”
Qi Bing was still expressionless: "I hope you don't sell this as intelligence......"
"How can I be, I'm a very moral person! has always specialized in scandals, and other intelligence can only be regarded as a side business. "Gao Jian is indeed quite shameless, it seems that it is no coincidence that he went to the drama club to find Wang Xu during the day......
After a long time, the two still did not encounter any form of pursuit, but they waited for the cat master and Wang Xu.
Qi Bing asked directly: "The investigation of the list of the Grim Reaper has been concluded?" ”
Wang Xu spread his hands: "You ask him, I don't know anything." ”
The cat master nodded and said, "The conclusion is naturally ...... Gao Jian, you now have two choices. The first is to die before midnight, and now there are still a few minutes until twelve o'clock, if you choose this, I can quickly kill you, and then all the people on this list are destined to die immediately before midnight, and at the last minute, it is possible for all of them to have a myocardial infarction, and there is no room for maneuver today. ”
Gao Jian felt that this option didn't have to be said at all, who would choose to die? So he asked, "And what about the second option?" ”
The cat master knew that he would ask this, and he turned back to Wang Xu and said, "Give him the list of deaths." ”
Wang Xu hesitated for a moment, then took out the booklet from his pocket and handed it to Gao Jian.
Mao Ye continued: "It's a pity that you are also dead in the second option...... But everyone else on the list is alive. ”
"Huh?!" Gao Jian almost fainted when he heard this, and he was dead.
Master Mao immediately explained: "Of course, in addition to saving many people by choosing the second way of death, it is also a good thing for yourself, and you can use this to become a god of death." ”
No one would believe his words, let alone Gao Jian, Wang Xu was the first to jump out: "What? You mean that after twelve o'clock he will be able to ascend to godhood? Are you fooling a fool? ”
"I can't tell you the details, but Gao Jian is lucky in a sense, if he dies in the initial pursuit, the list will be tested for the next person, but you saved him, and Qi Bing helped him hold out until midnight, it's like he cleared an extremely dangerous game with a golden finger, and soon he will get the final reward......"
"But I'm ...... I don't want to die yet......" Gao Jian looked down at his watch nervously, time waits for no one, twelve o'clock will soon come.
Qi Bing asked, "Does he have no third choice?" ”
Mao Ye shook his head: "Obviously not, it doesn't matter who the list is on, it can still operate on its own, when he starts to test the candidates, everything is irreversible, either become its new owner, or be killed by it." ”
"Then I can tear it up!" Gao Jian shouted loudly, hysterically tearing the pamphlet to shreds and stomping on the shredded paper on the ground. The paper soon disappeared, as if by magic.
Master Mao sighed: "Even so, it is in vain......"
"How is that possible?! I obviously tore it up! Gao Jian's face suddenly changed when he said this, and he looked down to see that he was still holding an identical pamphlet in his left hand.
"If this thing could be destroyed, it would have been killed along with his original owner, obviously, this is higher than the existence of death itself, if we are all software that can be deleted at any time in this world, then this thing is one of the hardware that works in this world, and you can't fight it."
With the explanation of the cat master, midnight came as scheduled, Gao Jian's face was pale, and his whole body was soaked with cold sweat, he thought that he would be fine after twelve o'clock, but he didn't expect to know at the last moment that everything was in vain.
Wang Xu asked, "Hey! That's how you see him dying? ”
Before the cat master could answer this question, Gao Jian disappeared by himself, as if he was teleporting, leaving no trace to be found.
"Where did he go?!" Qi Bing's ability to perceive the surrounding environment is even better, but at this moment, he can't sense any living creatures except for some rats and insects.
"He's supposed to be where he is, but we can't see him anymore...... Let's go, this matter has been settled. ”
How could Wang Xu accept such an ending: "This is also a big living person, so forget it?" ”
Mao Ye said again: "He doesn't belong to this world anymore, from just now, he is the new owner of the list of death, he will survive with a new way of life, from we take over the list, to this thing to select candidates, it will be his turn in these ten pages, it can only be said that it is fate." ”
Although Wang Xu and Qi Bing are still a little difficult to let go, they can't do anything, Gao Jian's fate is indeed doomed when he is chosen, either he will be killed as a person, or he will become a god of death and leave the world, no matter what the result, today will be his death, today ...... This is his death!
