Chapter 31: It's still this, uh-uh!
Chapter 31: It's still this, uh-uh!
"So, did you guess it?" Floyd sighed. He was really worried.
After all, he can only live if they die.
"That's right." Luo Ran replied, "But I'm really curious. Why did you deceive us? β
"To make you die, of course." Floyd's voice suddenly changed direction, and then there was the sound of a heavy object pushing around.
Luo Ran's face changed. He did not believe that Freud could move freely in the dark.
Then, Luo touched something, and that was the benches on either side.
Luo Ran stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Na and Li Ming, and cautiously retreated to the statue.
It was clear that Floyd blocked the road ahead with a bench.
If you want to leave, you need to be careful to bypass these benches.
However, at the moment, the church is so dark that the doors are not visible except for the statues.
As you can imagine, there are a lot of pitfalls on both sides.
Also, if Floyd locked the door, it would be even more dangerous.
As he stepped back, Li Ming suddenly slipped his foot, and then he leaned back.
"Be careful!" Zhang Na felt Li Ming's change at the same time, and quickly reached out to grab it, but only grabbed Li Ming's sleeve.
"Bang!" Li Ming fell heavily to the ground.
At the same time, on the road outside the church, a car drove by at full speed and suddenly crushed a stone, crashing directly into the roof of the church.
"Smack!" The stone was not strong enough, but it cleverly broke a tile.
Broken tiles fell from the ceiling, and the sharp tiles stabbed Li Ming's eyes.
However, Li Ming still doesn't know anything about it!
Just as the tile was about to pierce Li Ming's eyes, his hands suddenly grabbed Li Ming's shoulders and pulled him away.
"Daddy!"
The tile smashed on Li Ming's cheek, leaving a bloody mark on his face.
Li Ming, who had just sat up, felt the pain and warmth on his cheeks, and was slightly stunned. He didn't know what had just happened.
"Be careful." Luo Ran said in a deep voice: "Since Freud dares to deceive us, this is likely to be the killing of us!" β
"But why? Why did Floyd go to help the Grim Reaper? Zhang Na said puzzledly: "Why didn't the god of death kill him!" β
"I don't know." Luo Ran said calmly, "But there is one thing, according to Freud's reaction just now, as long as we are more careful, there will be no chance of life!" β
Night falls, and the bright moon hangs in the sky.
In Jiangcheng, a figure walked cautiously along the city wall. The moonlight shone on his face. It's Ji Chengming.
There are many monks in Jiangcheng. Although the guards are not well guarded and no one patrols, it is still easy to spot if you are not careful.
In addition, the location of the Pavilion was not close to the wing where the pilgrims lived, and there was a magnificent palace in the middle, which added a lot of difficulties.
Fortunately, Ji Chengming stayed here for two days after all, and he did a deliberate exploration during the day, so he was very clear about the environment in the temple.
As long as you are careful, the risk of being detected is low.
In addition, it rained last night and it is not hot today, so the ground is still wet at the moment, especially near the wall.
Ji Chengming walked cautiously, stepping on the mud without a sound. Soon he came to a high wall.
This was carefully observed by Ji Chengming during the day. Behind the wall is a corridor.
Behind the corridor is the courtyard where the monks' wings are located. It's right in the corner of the yard. There is a big tree next to it, which is not easy to find.
From the courtyard where the monks lived, you can climb over another wall to reach the location of the Scripture Pavilion.
It's a hassle, but it's better than walking through the halls safely.
Moreover, by this time, the courtyard of the Scripture Pavilion was locked early in the morning. If you take the normal path, you can't get in at all.
Although the wall is high, this is not too difficult for Ji Chengming. After all, Ji Chengming used to be a soldier for a while.
Although he quietly escaped in the later stages because he couldn't stand it, some of the foundations remained.
Ji Chengming took two steps back, then rushed forward, put his foot on the wall, and grabbed the top of the wall.
Then his arm suddenly exerted force and jumped straight from above.
After landing, Ji Chengming did not stop. After all, it's a corridor that someone can pass by at any moment. So he rushed forward again, jumping over the second wall as usual.
When entering the courtyard where the monks lived, Ji Chengming was even more relaxed. The big tree in the corner was no different to him than a ladder, but he crossed the last wall in a few breaths.
Looking at the tall Scripture Pavilion in front of him, Ji Chengming calmed down for a moment.
As long as he gets the scriptures, he can go back to the city and enjoy the colorful world.
Soon I came to the Scripture Pavilion, which was actually a three-story tower.
Ji Chengming glanced at the locked tower door, then walked straight to the window and pulled it gently. It does get locked inside.
Then, Ji Chengming did the same and easily reached the second floor of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion. The windows opened directly again.
In this river city, the monks have no concept of anti-theft. After all, they are poor. How many people come back to steal?
Ji Chengming cautiously jumped into the Hidden Scripture Pavilion and went straight to the third floor.
He clearly remembered that the man told him that the scriptures were stored on the third floor.
However, when he reached the third floor, Ji Chengming was in a dilemma. He doesn't know the name of the Bible, so how do you find it?
Gritting his teeth, since he came in, he couldn't give up easily. Ji Chengming put all the handwritten scriptures he saw into his arms, and then jumped all the way out of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
However, just as Ji Chengming's feet landed, he saw a bright light not far away. It turned out to be a monk.
"Who!" Hearing the sound of Ji Chengming landing, the monk was also startled and shouted and rushed over.
Ji Chengming was in a hurry. He couldn't wait to go back. He looked at the nearest wall and rushed over.
Jumping over the fence was another courtyard, but Ji Chengming did not relax. If more monks surrounded him, he would die.
Not only will the scriptures be taken back, but the temple will not let him stay.
So, Ji Chengming continued to rush forward. He wanted to leave Jiangcheng.
Although the monks of Jiangcheng are sincere, their physical fitness is not weak. Seeing Ji Chengming jump over the wall, they were just slightly surprised, and then jumped over.
In this way, Ji Chengming and the monks chased each other and soon came to the outside of the temple.
Ji Chengming looked at the last wall with a hint of joy in his heart, and then jumped up easily.
However, the broken tiles on the wall suddenly fell, and Ji Chengming sat directly on the ground.
"Ahh Ji Chengming screamed, but he didn't dare to stop and limped along.
As soon as Ji Chengming ran out, the monk jumped out of there.
I saw the monk stepping on the sliding tiles. Because the tiles were wet underground, the tiles flew forward instantly, and the monk sat directly on the ground.
"Daddy!"
Coincidentally, the flying tile accidentally smashed on the back of Ji Chengming's head, and blood flowed on Ji Chengming's head.
Ji Chengming just felt a little dizzy in his head, so he fell to the ground.
However, this is a mountain. Ji Chengming rolled down the mountain directly.
The dead branches and stones on the ground made Ji Chengming covered in blood, and a dead tree directly penetrated Ji Chengming's eyes.
Fortunately, the mountain where Jiangcheng is located is not very high. Ji Chengming quickly rolled to the foot of the mountain.
Ji Chengming only felt that his bones were about to break, and his brain was like a dream.
At this moment, a bright light entered Ji Chengming's eyes, and then a sharp brake sounded
"Boom!" Ji Chengming flew out again.
When Ji Chengming landed again, there was no life left. Blood flowed from him, soaking the scriptures in his arms
In the church, Luo Ran leaned against the statue and did not dare to move.
But Zhang Na's arm had fallen not far away. She covered her wounds and looked pale.
"Damn, we're going to die here sooner or later, we won't make it to dawn!" In the dark, Li Ming's face was extremely ugly.
At the moment, the rain is still falling in the sky, and there is still no light.
"Then we'll have to wait a minute. Less than 20 minutes! Luo Ran pinched the time, but despite the anxiety, he couldn't do anything.
Unexpectedly, the Grim Reaper union with Freud would have increased the risk to such an extent.
"Twenty minutes, can Zhang Na live for twenty minutes?" Li Ming could feel Zhang Na's body trembling, and her breathing was very weak.
"That must be true!" Luo Ran bit his lip, his anxiety was no less than Li Ming's.
Neither Luo Ran nor Li Ming noticed that as the rain continued to seep into the ground, the ground next to the statue gradually softened, and the statue gradually tilted towards Luo Ran and the others
In the darkness, Freud stared closely at the three Rolands.
More and more, he felt that these three people were really difficult to deal with. Just broke Zhang Na's arm, and used up all the mechanisms he had arranged.
Moreover, even under the current situation, the three Luo Ran did not panic at all.
He gently stroked the back of the sharp blade in his hand. If it's really bad, he can only go up and work hard.
I can always see it in the dark, and the odds are not completely out of the blue.
With that in mind, Freud was closer to the three. He minimizes his breathing and pace so as not to arouse the other's secrets.
At this point, Freud saw the statue begin to tilt and slowly pressed the three of them.
Freud was immediately pleased. Obviously, this must have been written by the Grim Reaper!
"Bang!" As Freud expected, there was a dull sound from the church door, and then there was a knock on the door that he had locked.
Two bright lights shone into the center of the church, and a familiar voice came from behind the lights: "Hey, get out of there!" β
Hearing this voice, Luo Ran and Li Ming were in a daze. They quickly picked up Zhang Na and ran to the light.
"Who are you?" Under the light, Floyd, who was not far away, looked at the statue that had been smashed to the ground, and then at the car that rushed in.
"Me? I'm just a coroner. "The black coroner opened the car door and jumped out of the car.
"Coroner, coroner!" Freud was almost insane, he saw that the statue was about to crush the three of Rojan!
With the light shining on, Luo Ran and the three people soon came to the coroner's side.
"Thank you, why are you here?" Luo Ran looked at the coroner suspiciously. He shouldn't be here, because of his emotions and sanity!
"The reason I'm here has nothing to do with you." The coroner understood Luo Ran's doubts.
After all, they only met by chance. Although Luo Ran and the three of them helped the coroner for a while, they were all just for self-protection and had no deep friendship.
It would be ridiculous to say that the coroner would fight the Grim Reaper for them.
"It's not about us?" Luo Ran was even more confused.
"That's right." The coroner said, "It is taboo to die without dying." Except for the two methods I said, the Grim Reaper won't let you go. β
"We know." Li Ming nodded.
"However, only death can decide life and death!" The coroner's expression became extremely serious: "It is also taboo to plunder other people's lives at will, let people die without dying, and break the two life paths set by the god of death himself!" β
"It's the same with death anyway." As soon as the coroner's voice fell, a voice came from the prayer room behind the statue, and then a black man walked out: "William, after all these years, you are still as naΓ―ve as ever. β
"Haha, Daniel, I guess it's you." Coroner Tony said with a smile. "Let me guess how you tricked this little friend into helping you. You tell him that as long as you trick these three little guys who are hiding next to me into the church and kill them, you can remove him from the list of the Grim Reaper? β
"How can you say it's cheating?" Daniel walked up to Floyd and said, "I like him very much. I really want to groom him to be my successor. If I become my successor, I can escape. β
"Are you looking for that damn man to be your successor?" The coroner, Tony, guarded Luo Ran behind him: "Are you not afraid that death will put you on the list?" β
"As long as the three of them are dead, the Grim Reaper won't do anything to me. I'm just helping the Grim Reaper on a mission. Moreover, I didn't do anything. Daniel laughed, "On the contrary, you are the one who openly trespassed on my territory. Aren't you afraid of my wrath? β
"Then give it a try." Tony's body suddenly burst into flames, even brighter than the headlights.
"There are three round metal plates on the co-pilot, put them in your mouth, and you'll die." Tony's voice appeared in Luo Ran's ears, and then Tony rushed towards Daniel.
"Fight me on my turf?" Daniel smiled and raised his hand. The tiles of the entire church suddenly broke, and then countless rains fell from the sky like a sharp arrow to Tony.
When Luo Ran heard Tony's words, he was slightly shocked, and then rushed to the co-pilot and took down three golden round metal pieces.
Then he rushed back to Li Ming and said, "In his mouth." β
"This ......" Li Ming was stunned, but he had absolute confidence in Luo Ran. He hurriedly picked up a piece of metal and put it in his mouth.
At the same time, Luo Ran opened Zhang Na's mouth and put the second piece of metal inside.
In the end, Luo Ran controlled the third one by himself.
When the piece of metal entered their mouths, the three of them didn't feel anything at first, but then they suddenly felt a chill rush into their brains, and the whole person seemed to be frozen.
At the same time, Luo Ran and Li Ming's eyes gradually became hazy, and they could vaguely see a huge net surging above the sky outside the shed.
"Is that the Grim Reaper?" This was Luo Ran's last thought, and then Luo Ran and the three of them were completely silent.
However, this situation only lasted for a moment, and then a warm current flowed again, and Luo Ran's three brains gradually regained consciousness.
"How is that possible?" Daniel, who was wrestling with Tony, suddenly shuddered. Looking at Tony, who was so suppressed by him that he couldn't stand up, Daniel shouted in disbelief.
Then Luo Ran and the three of them saw that the big net in the sky suddenly stretched out a line, directly penetrating Daniel's body.
Then Daniel's body quickly grew old and turned to ashes in an instant.
Then, the scene in front of Luo Ran changed, and they had returned to hell.
"Bang!" Just when Luo Ran and the three of them had just woken up, Floyd, who had also returned here, had already rushed out. Li Ming was about to catch up, but he saw that Floyd had rushed back to his room.
Hell has the rules of hell. No one can break into this private room.
However, Li Ming had to sit down angrily.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Na woke up after taking the metal piece. She didn't know what was going on.
Luo Ran briefly explained the situation of the coroner Tony, then glanced at the room and fell into deep thought.
He wondered why they were back? They didn't do anything!
Zhang Na suddenly asked, "Do you think there were only four of us in the legend at that time?" βγ
"Maybe." Luo Ran nodded.
"If that's true, then I have a guess." "According to the circumstances at the time, the rest of the people died, and Floyd resigned to a coroner named Daniel," Zhang said. It is likely that the other party used some methods to temporarily remove him from the list of the Grim Reaper. β
Li Ming said: "It should be so, otherwise Freud would not dare to move so freely in the church." βγ
"If Floyd had left the death list, there would have actually been only three of us left on the death list." Zhang Na said while analyzing: "As long as the three of us die, then the list of the Grim Reaper will be over." β
"I see. You mean, three metal plates made us die once, so we ended the death list? Li Mingsi asked.
"That's right." Zhang Na nodded. "Although this death was only for a moment, it was enough. At least at that moment, we all escaped from the death list. This is the way back to hell. β
Li Ming said suspiciously: "But didn't the coroner William say that there are only these two methods?" βγ
"There are only two ways." Luo Ran thought for a moment and said, "The method we said was just to make us enter a state of death in an instant. Once we get out of this state, we are again targeted by death. In other words, as long as there is anyone on the list alive except for the three of us, then this is an ineffective approach. β
"It can be said that this method is a special kind of confession for sinners like us." Luo Ran stood up and said, "So I'm afraid even William doesn't know this method." The reason why he put us into this state of pausing animation is actually to deal with Daniel. β
"That's true. In order to please the Grim Reaper, Tangier lured Freud to deceive us and even took the initiative to set many traps. β
