Chapter 304: The Styx Ferryman

Zhuge was only cautious in his life, and Guan Yu was careless in Jingzhou. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the face of unfamiliar characters, it is still necessary to be more careful in your heart.

In recent years, there have been countless people who have capsized in the gutter. The black coroner, who can run through the five parts of the Grim Reaper, is likely to be a special NPC, and he is not a low-level kind.

"Taxi."

Standing on the side of the street, Wu Ming stopped a yellow taxi, pulled the door and sat down.

"Sir, where are you going?"

"Go..."

Wu Minggang wanted to answer, but found that he did not know where the black man in charge of the autopsy lived.

In the movie, where there are dead people, there is the figure of a black coroner. But the exact location of the black coroner was never mentioned, not even by name.

"Here, if someone dies in a traffic accident, where will his body be parked?" Wu Ming didn't know the place, so he could only ask tentatively.

"If there's a traffic accident and the body is parked at St. Mary's Hospital, are you going there?"

The taxi driver glanced in the rearview mirror, and after seeing Wu Ming nodding, he stepped on the accelerator and drove towards St. Mary's Hospital.

The car is driving on the road, and in the car CD, the album of the band ACDC, Hell Highway, is playing.

Hearing this familiar melody, Wu Ming frowned, instinctively a little disgusted.

"Didi..."

With the sound of a loud whistle, at the intersection ahead, a large truck pulling steel pipes drove out.

Large trucks travel from east to north, and when they turn, they occupy most of the lane.

Looking from behind, I saw a truck full of steel pipes, swaying with the turn, as if the rope would break at any time and be thrown off the truck.

"To be honest, I don't like these big guys, they take up too much space." Seeing that there were large trucks blocking the road, the taxi driver slowed down and whispered to Wu Ming.

Wu Ming quietly looked ahead, his eyes swept over the rope of the truck, and said coldly: "Slow down, keep a distance from this car, don't lean on." ”

"What?" Because the sound of the CD in the car was very loud, the taxi driver did not hear Wu Ming's words.

The next moment, the big truck straightened its body and officially drove into the northbound highway.

And just when the taxi driver was a little distracted, the big truck in front of him suddenly braked.

"Crunch!"

The friction between the tire and the ground makes a screeching grinding sound.

On the truck, the steel pipe held by the rope broke apart in an instant with the help of the inertia of the sudden braking.

For a while, countless steel pipes with the thickness of wrists hit backwards like raindrops, and the target was the taxi that followed behind.

"Damn!" At the moment when danger came, Wu Ming launched a phantom transfer and got out of the taxi.

The next second, as soon as he was standing on the side of the road, he saw the unlucky taxi, which was shot like a hornet's nest.

Steel pipes more than four meters long pierced the weak iron sheets of the taxi and inserted them deeply into the carriage.

Among them, the driver sitting in front of him was nailed to the driver's seat alive with a steel pipe through his chest.

"Ding...... Reincarnation Wu Ming, congratulations on dodging the death design once, please keep up the good work. ”

The reminder of the reincarnation watch surfaced in Wu Ming's heart.

Wu Ming stood on the side of the road and looked around, his eyes filtered over the truck driver who got out of the car, and the unlucky ghost who was crucified in the car, looking for clues of death.

It's a pity that after watching it for a while, there is no special phenomenon that catches the eye, and everything around is calm.

Eyes were shrouded in the Qi Technique, and I could barely see some black fog, shrouded in the taxi where the accident occurred.

Other than that, there was no valuable information that would allow him to uncover more problems.

"Is this Grim Reaper, who is between the visible and the invisible, and doesn't need to show up when designing death?" Retracting his gaze, Wu Ming loosened the button on his shirt and continued to move forward with questions.

Along the way, I don't know if I escaped the design once, and the Grim Reaper went to find someone else again.

Wu Ming'an arrived at St. Mary's Hospital safely, and there were no accidents on the way.

"Sir, is there anything I can do to help you?" At the front desk of the hospital, there is a nurse on duty.

Wu Ming nodded slightly, walked up to the nurse, and said, "Yes, look into my eyes!" ”

"What?" The nurse instinctively raised her head and looked into Wu Ming's eyes.

At the moment when his eyes met, countless memories came one after another, and Wu Ming quietly felt it, looking for his goal.

"Todd, the mysterious coroner, never communicates with people and doesn't start a family. Eat and live in the hospital, sometimes even sleep in the morgue, and like to talk to himself alone. ”

In the nurse's memory, there was very little information about the black coroner, and much was hearsay.

Moreover, in St. Mary's Hospital, Todd's presence is very low, even for medical staff, he is also a very mysterious existence.

For example, the nurse controlled by Wu Ming has been working in the hospital for seven years.

But in her memory, Todd never took the initiative to say hello to her once. Most of the time, Todd was just in the morgue, lonely like a housekeeper, rather than a member of St. Mary's Hospital.

"Todd, what exactly is your identity? A messenger of death, an escapee by death's design, or an awakened movie character? Wu Ming disconnected from the dementor and walked towards the morgue while thinking about the problem.

As a municipal hospital, St. Mary's Hospital is large and the morgue style is novel.

In the lawn area of the hospital, there is a church-like building that houses the morgue of St. Mary's Hospital, where Todd works.

Pulling open the door of the morgue, a cold breath came to my face.

Wu Ming walked slowly inside with his hands behind his back, and found that there were no windows here, only rooms with closed doors.

Dr. Todd's office, archives, equipment room, morgue...

Fingers swiped across the walls, and every time Wu Ming walked in front of a door, he reached out and pushed it open.

In the four rooms, there was no figure of Todd, only in the morgue, there were three bloody corpses.

"Middle-aged aunt, the boy who fell off the elevator, the unlucky guy who was killed by the chandelier!" Wu Ming lifted the white cloth and found that the three deceased were all newcomers this time.

Nearby, on the freezer where the corpse was stored, there were two brand-new labels.

Wu Ming stepped forward and pulled open the freezer with the new label on it, revealing two black body bags.

"Zih

Wu Ming tilted his head and looked at it for a while, the two corpses placed in the freezer were the student lovers, who seemed to have been dead for a long time.

"Reckless intruders are my most hated guests, but you're an exception!" There was a conversation behind him, but there was no sound of footsteps.

Wu Ming stood still, in terms of his strength, even if a cat walked on tiptoe, it was impossible to blind his hearing and hearing.

But now, if it weren't for the other party to speak, Wu Ming wouldn't know at all, there was still a person standing behind him.

There were no footsteps, no breathing, not even a heartbeat.

Turning his head slightly, Wu Ming looked behind him, and his eyes were a person standing in the light, without even a shadow.

"Are you the Grim Reaper?" Looking at the black coroner, Wu Ming said calmly.

"No, of course not." The black coroner was stunned for a moment, looked Wu Ming up and down for a while, and suddenly said: "I am a lonely ferryman on the River Styx, so glad to meet you!" ”

It is said that in the world of the dead, there is a black river.

When the soul of the dead comes here, it needs to get on the ferryman's boat to reach the paradise of the dead.

From the side, the ferryman is considered a servant of the god of death, but he doesn't know Todd's identity and which underworld system he belongs to.

You must know that among the legends of the ferrymen, the most famous should be the Greek mythology, known as Charon, the god of the river Styx.

This Charon is the servant of Hades, the god of the underworld, and the most loyal guard. The status in the world of the dead is equivalent to the second gear other than Hades, under the main god, the best among the upper gods.

However, looking at Todd's appearance, it doesn't look like a projection of a high-ranking god.

And in the world where the Grim Reaper came, even supernatural power does not exist, and this faceless Grim Reaper, there is no reason for him to be a big guy like Hades.

"In Greek mythology, Hades is the main god, and in the Eastern world, it must be at the level of Da Luo Jin Xian. It seems that the Grim Reaper here should be the kind that does not enter the stream. It's either the body of the lower god or the projection of the middle god, and it can't be any higher. Wu Ming thought for a moment, and from Todd's body, he thought of the god of death.

Of course, such a view must be biased.

It's just that Wu Ming believes that the deviation will not be too big, because it is impossible for high-level gods to appear in such a low-level world.

"Do you know why I told you who I am?" Todd walked through the door with a mysterious smile on his face.

Wu Ming himself was also puzzled, Todd was too straightforward, completely looking like an old friend, which was a bit unexpected.

"Why?"

"Because, you brought something I liked, can you give that one to me?"

Todd pointed his finger down slightly, pointing to the round pendant hanging around Wu Ming's neck.

This round pendant comes from the blessing of Hanubis, and the divine power stored in it can give the wearer a chance to resurrect.

Hearing Todd's request, Wu Ming shook his head without thinking about it and said, "Unfortunately, I have no intention of giving it away." ”

"yes, but I like this thing very much, what do you think I'm going to do?" In Todd's gaze, greed gradually appeared, and the black suit on his body began to fade.

Eventually, Todd's black suit turned into a shabby gray cloak, and there was a black mist around his body.

"I hate reckless intruders, but you're an exception because you bring something I love."

Todd slowly stretched out his hand, the expression on his face was full of hideousness, and whispered, "Now, you should obediently bow your head and give me that thing." (To be continued.) )
