Chapter 14: Bad News
Billy ignored Claire's muttering questions, instead walked around the pit before walking to the cabin where Alex had spent a few hours. There were few furnishings in the wooden house, but in one room, there were obvious signs of inhabitation, which was the one where Alex and Lyudun had stayed.
Billy had seen it all, a faint blue light flashing in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up in what seemed to be a smile. "Captain, have you solved it first? Or "Billy bowed his head, muttering something that only he could hear.
Billy walked out of the cabin, looked at Claire outside, who was still shocking the pit, and said something that surprised Claire. "Claire, let's go find Alex." Billy said, and walked out of the jungle.
"What? Why? Claire saw that Billy was leaving, and hurriedly followed and asked.
"Hehe, because I've found something interesting, and maybe only Alex can give us the answer." Billy said without looking back.
"You mean, things here have something to do with Alex?!" Claire was not stupid, and immediately guessed the hint in Billy's words, and asked in some disbelief.
"Who knows? By the time we meet Alex, it may be clear. Also, working with Alex is a good idea. Billy said, walking briskly out of the jungle.
The two stopped a car on the road and drove towards the city.
Entering the city, Billy did not let the driver drive in the direction of Alex's house, but instead directed the driver in an almost opposite direction.
"Billy. Aren't we going to find Alex? What's wrong with you," Claire asked, looking at Billy quizzically.
"Hehe, trust me, I can find Alex." Billy, except for the occasional guide to where the driver was going to turn, kept looking out the window, as if there was something interesting outside.
Seeing that Billy didn't seem to be talking now, Claire turned her head to the side and looked in the same direction as Billy. There's nothing strange about it, it's ordinary. Claire looked at the flow of people and the scenery outside the car window, and couldn't help but be more puzzled.
After some time. Taxis are under Billy's direction. I came to the door of a hospital in a circle. Billy just glanced at the driver, then pulled Claire out of the car and walked straight into the hospital. To Claire's great surprise, the driver didn't chase him out and ask for money. Instead, he drove away.
Billy didn't explain it to Claire. Instead, he pulled Claire directly towards the inpatient area. It's as if it's purposeful. Billy pulled Claire up the third floor, then towards a hospital room.
Walking to the door of the ward, Billy stopped. Then he knocked lightly on the door.
The door to the "squeak" ward opened, revealing a young face from inside, it was Alex!
"Billy? Claire? How did you end up here? Alex looked at Billy and Claire outside the door in surprise. And at this time, Claire was even more surprised than Alex, how did Billy know that Alex was here? Wasn't he always with him?
Billy didn't seem to see Alex, and the surprised expression on Claire's face beside him, and said directly to Alex: "It's a coincidence, aren't you going to let us in?" Billy said, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, and the joke in it seemed to contain something else.
Alex, who still had some ancient wind power in his body, was keenly aware of this, but he couldn't see what was inside. "Of course, please come in." Alex couldn't guess what Billy's smile meant, but let the two of them in.
When I entered the ward, the first thing I saw was a middle-aged woman in her thirties lying on the hospital bed. "Teacher Liudun? How did Mr. Liutun end up here? Claire was surprised at first, and then looked at Alex with a sudden look of horror in her eyes.
"Teacher Liu Dun is fine, she is just temporarily unconscious because of the loss of strength. If nothing else, it won't be long before I wake up. Before Alex could answer or explain, Billy spoke first, and what he said shocked Alex.
Alex looked at Billy and suddenly felt like he didn't know him anymore. In the past, Billy didn't seem to be like this, and in the past, Billy couldn't judge the state of others just by looking at it. Alex suddenly thought of a situation, looked at Billy differently, and even had the slightest vigilance.
"Billy? Oh no, you're not Billy, you're the reincarnation right now, right? Alex said, instinctively standing in front of Lyudun's hospital bed, he thought this guy seemed a little weird.
"Oh? Looks like you know a lot of things. The captain has told you everything? Oh, yes, you still have traces of the captain's strength on your body. Billy's words were equivalent to verifying Alex's words, but Billy's next sentence made Alex also confused. I'm both Billy and Billy now. Because I am no longer the Billy I used to be, I am a special existence with the souls and memories of the reincarnation Liu Shuai and the aboriginal Billy. ”
"What do you mean?" Alex felt completely confused.
"Hehe, I explained it to you for a while, and you couldn't understand it. One thing is certain, though, we're on the same front, and I'm no threat to you. So, you don't have to guard against me. Billy looked at Alex's wary look in his eyes with a gentle smile on his face.
"On the same front? No, not anymore. Our common enemy, the Grim Reaper, has been killed by me, and we are no longer in danger. Alex shook his head and said something that surprised Claire, who had been unable to understand the words of the two of them.
"What you say is true? Is the Grim Reaper dead? How can it be? You're not going to lie to us, are you? Claire suddenly stepped forward and asked several questions in a row, looking at Alex with suspicion and hope in her eyes.
"Yes, dead, it's all over, we're free! We don't have to worry about the unexpected at any time, we can go back to normal life, and the nightmare is over. Alex said, both explaining to Claire and seemingly speaking to himself.
"Great, we're saved! Thank you, Alex, thank you! Claire looked Alex in the eye and saw that he showed no signs of lying, and that such a thing could not be a lie. The pressure in Claire's heart for days disappeared suddenly, and for the first time there was a happy look in her eyes, and tears of excitement were shed.
"Hehe, I don't really want to disturb your fantasies, but I want to say that you seem to be a little happy early." Billy's voice suddenly sounded on the side, and the content of the words stimulated Claire, who was happy.
"Billy! What do you mean? Don't you want to get out of this nightmare? Can't you see that Alex is telling the truth? Claire looked at Billy with some anger, hoping that he would apologize for what he had just said.
"Billy!" Before Billy could speak, Alex grabbed him by the collar and pulled him out of the room. With Alex's current strength, he easily dragged Billy out and dragged him directly to a waiting room not far from the ward.
"You guy, what did you mean by that? Do you think I'm going to lie to you?! Alex angrily threw Billy to the ground and asked. He didn't want to make trouble in the ward, which might wake up Mr. Liudun, who needed to rest. But he was furious, this guy actually questioned him!
"No, of course not, your tone of voice, facial expressions, and all that all that shows you are telling the truth." Billy spoke, as if there were signs of resignation, but the next moment, his words made Alex's anger reappear. "What you say is only what you think is the truth, not necessarily the real truth."
Alex doesn't know why, after gaining strength, he seems to want to talk with his fists, and he wants to beat Billy hard now! However, one thing stopped him, and it made his face very ugly.
"Now broadcast a piece of news, just now, there was a serious traffic accident on Peter Street. A bus suddenly lost control and knocked over several cars in a row, killing one person and injuring 16 others."
This kind of news happens every day, but this time is different, because Alex's strengthened eyes can see clearly the face of the deceased who flashed on it, and it is Carter! (To be continued......)
