Chapter 6: Xia Youran
"Not bad!" said the masked skeleton, "It's not smart enough, but it's good to be able to complete the first mission, and from today onwards, you will be my agent of death." β
The mask skeleton waved his hand as he spoke, and a black smoke flew out from the mask skeleton's palm, Mo Bai instinctively wanted to dodge, but it was not as fast as the black smoke, and was drilled into his chest by the black smoke.
When the black smoke entered his body, Mo Bai immediately felt something strange, his eyes became strange, and when he looked at the mask skeleton, two lines of small words immediately appeared on the side of the mask skeleton's head.
Death:???
Life: Endless Void
Mo Bai said: "What does this mean?"
"Although I have given you the authority of the Reaper's agent, I have only lent it to you temporarily. The mask skeleton said: "The first task should be an assessment, so, congratulations on following the assessment, you are now a real agent of death, and what you see now is the ability that only a real agent of death has, although it is impossible to determine the life and death of a person, but it can know the life and death of a person." β
Mo Bai said: "What's the use of this? You still point to me to help people tell fortunes?"
The mask skeleton smiled: "Nature is still useful, when everyone is born and when they die, this is the number of lives, and the work of the Death Agent, you should be very clear by now, even if the fate is determined by a few days, there will be occasional accidents, and the Death Agent is to deal with these accidents, so that people who should die die again." β
Mo Bai nodded.
The mask skeleton said: "This ability is also to prevent accidents, you can see when a person dies, and at the same time because of what to die, since this is the case, then you can prevent accidents from happening, let him die in a normal way of death, no accidents, you naturally don't have to kill people." β
Mo Bai thought for a moment and said, "That's a bit useful. β
The masked skeleton let out a "skewed" laugh and said: "What's more, only with this ability, can you really be called a death agent, and finally, since the first mission is an assessment of you, there should be no reward, but you did a good job, so I'll make an exception and give you some dark coins." β
The mask skeleton waved his hand casually, and the column of the dark coin held by Mo Bai had been emptied to zero, but it became 100,000 in an instant.
Mo Bai pouted and said, "It's too stingy, I'll go to the paper shop to buy millions of dead banknotes, and it will cost dozens of yuan at most." β
The masked skeleton laughed again, "If you can burn those dead money to yourself, then you can buy whatever you want in the Reaper's Treasury." β
Mo Bai shrugged, naturally he also knew that there would not be such a big loophole for himself to drill, although both are called dark coins, but the nature is definitely different, whether the dead can really receive the dark coin, that is only known to the dead.
"Then can I save my life now?"
The masked skeleton smiled and waved again, and a glimmer of light shone through the darkness, and an iron door slowly opened.
Mo Bai asked the mask skeleton with his eyes, and after getting a positive answer, he walked out of the door, and then showed surprise, the door was a familiar alley, and when he looked back, he was his own home behind him, not only that, but his clothes had also changed, simple bleached jeans, a shirt with graffiti painted and a hunter's leather coat, and a shoulder bag, but it was the day of the car accident, when he left home.
Walking out of the alley, onto the street, approaching the bus stop, he soon saw Ma Wei, sneakily standing next to an old man who was going to buy groceries, reaching for the wallet in the vegetable basket, intending to pickpocket.
Mo Bai hesitated, after all, he didn't plan to catch Ma Wei like last time, but watched him steal his wallet, and quickly boarded a bus bus, and then, the bus only drove a hundred meters, and then hit a truck transporting steel bars, and the two cars turned over to the side of the street at the same time, the bottom of the car ignited flames, and countless scattered steel bars pierced into the body of the bus.
Mo Bai couldn't help clenching his fists, he had experienced such a scene once, but even from the perspective of a bystander, he still felt extremely shocked.
"Is this a return to normalcy in history?"
Mo Bai muttered, the streets became extremely chaotic, some people shouted, some people fled, some people talked about it, and after a while, the sound of the ambulance's horn quickly joined the chaos.
Mo Bai withdrew from the crowd at the right time, as if he hadn't seen the car accident, and continued to walk forward, and the voice of the mask skeleton sounded in his ears: "Do it well, only those who have died once know how to cherish life better, I believe that you will become an excellent agent of death." β
After the mask skeleton finished speaking, it disappeared without a trace, only the information of the Grim Reaper's agent left behind proved that it was all true.
As for the identity of the agent of death, Mo Bai now has a general understanding, if you look at it with a normal heart, it can be regarded as an alternative job, not to mention, this job can allow Mo Bai to continue to live.
However, when there is no task, what should the Death Agent do? Mo Bai is not very clear, although after really becoming the Death Agent, his own eyes can see through the life and death of others, using the mask skeleton statement, the main purpose of this ability is to prevent accidents when they should die and not die, but just like this, you can't be sure who will have an accident, you can't always see someone and run up and say: You will be hit by a car tomorrow, this is your life, so, hit it well, hit it hard, and hit it again if you don't die.
Mo Bai felt that if he dared to say this, he would definitely be beaten on the street, and he didn't even know his parents.
But Mo Bai also felt that this ability was very interesting, there was a feeling of seeing all living beings, looking at all kinds of people on the street, Mo Bai couldn't help but use his ability to peek at it, to see what it was like to come to the end of their lives, however, the death information displayed by most people was a natural death, but the life span was long and short.
Playing with his ability like this, when he arrived at the school gate, looking at the four big words "Nandu University", Mo Bai came back to his senses, but he was suddenly slapped on the shoulder.
"Xiaobai, what do you want?"
Hooking Mo Bai's shoulder is a white and pure animal, which looks quite good, Mo Bai has always thought that he is a little handsome, but next to this animal in front of him, he can only be classified as a civilian type.
Sighing, Mo Bai said helplessly: "Zhong Tao, can you not call me Xiaobai?"
Zhong Tao said: "I've called you that since I was a child, what's the problem?"
Mo Bai said: "That's because when I was a child, I didn't know the name of Xiaobai or a dog, and I don't know that in the eyes of many people, Xiaobai is no different from mentally handicapped children." β
Zhong Tao and Mo Bai's fate can be traced back to the era when the two wore open crotch pants, they were born in the same hospital, grew up in the same courtyard, the same primary school, the same middle school, until high school, Zhong Tao moved because of his father's work, and also went to other high schools to study, but what he didn't expect was that three years later, the two met again in the same university.
If Zhong Tao is a woman, then this must be a childhood sweetheart's marriage, a love drama that can sing and cry, but Zhong Tao is an out-and-out man, so love is absolutely impossible, and it can only be a base feeling.
"What's wrong with Xiaobai, isn't it quite pleasant to scream. Zhong Tao smiled and said, "Sue sΓΉ for something exciting to you." β
Mo Bai sneered and said, "The most exciting thing I've heard in your mouth is that I got another beautiful girl, who looks like Gao Yuanyuan, or looks like Zhang Ziyi?"
Zhong Tao smiled and said: "Men, isn't the biggest pursuit of women, do you understand that opposites attract?
When Zhong Tao was talking, he saw that Mo Bai's attention had moved elsewhere, and following Mo Bai's gaze, Zhong Tao suddenly became happy.
Mo Bai's gaze was nostalgic, a tall girl, wearing jeans, a white women's shirt and a casual suit, with a hint of mature beauty in her youth, delicate with a hint of angular facial features, a brown shoulder length hair, looking around as if waiting for someone, she didn't realize that she had become the most beautiful scenery on the campus path.
Zhong Tao smiled: "It seems that you still like women." β
Mo Bai rolled his eyes and said, "What do you know about this guy who only thinks with his lower body!"
Mo Bai will notice that the girl is not what Zhong Tao thinks, just because of the girl's beauty, but when he was talking nonsense with Zhong Tao, Mo Bai did not forget to use his ability to peep at others, like Zhong Tao, the information shown is that this guy can live to be 82 years old, the cause of death is naturally death, and it can be regarded as a good beginning and a good end to enjoy his old age, but when Mo Bai's eyes swept over the girl, the information he saw was a little strange.
Xia Youran: ???
Life:???
Death:???
The information that the girl displayed in Mo Bai's eyes turned out to be all question marks, but this was a situation that Mo Bai had never encountered, even if it was a mask and a skeleton, there was a display that looked particularly bullish, called "Endless Void".
So, Mo Bai came to the result at that moment: this girl doesn't seem to be very simple.
Zhong Tao didn't know this, he just hooked Mo Bai's shoulder, and said with a cheap smile: "I understand, I understand, you don't have to explain, but I advise you to die for this woman, this girl's name is Xia Youran, and it is definitely not something you can chase." β
Mo Bai said strangely: "Do you know her?"
Zhong Tao said proudly: "I know all the beauties in our school, of course, I know them, they don't necessarily know me, that Xia Youran is the number one beauty in the School of Management, and those who can line up in our school are a year older than us, and they are already sophomores, and the people who want to chase her are surrounded by at least able to circle our school, but they are all broken." β
When Zhong Tao was talking, Xia Youran happened to turn his head to look in the direction of the two, and in just half a second, he met Mo Bai's eyes, and then both of them could see a trace of inexplicability in each other's eyes, and then, Xia Youran turned around, quickly walked towards several girls who came over, and left on the green path with a smile.
