Chapter 243: A small win
Todd?
Todd!
Alex thought of the prophetic dream he had on the plane, and he already had a bad premonition in his heart.
He hurriedly got dressed, went out of the house, and walked to Todd's house.
As for why he didn't call, he was afraid that what he had just seen and thought of was an illusion of panic, and it was somewhat rude to call him rashly late at night.
So I just thought about walking over and going to Todd's house to have a look, and as long as there were no accidents, I could go back without disturbing them.
Why walk over, it's even simpler, he's still a high school student, and he hasn't taken the driver's license yet.
After walking for about half an hour, Alex came to the vicinity of Todd's house.
Before he could get closer, he realized that something was wrong.
In the courtyard, police cars flashed red-green lights, and several officers were coming out of Todd's house.
He began to trot, then quickened his pace, ran quickly, looked at everything in front of him in confusion, and asked, "What happened?" What about Todd? ”
The officer was so busy with his own business that he ignored him, but next to a black car, FBI agents Arsene Wenger and Shirek noticed him.
The two had planned to come back to ask for details about the crash, only to find out that Todd was dead. They looked at Alex from afar, but didn't come forward to strike up a conversation.
Wenger pointed at Alex covertly and said to his colleague next to him: "That kid is on the scene again, do you think he predicted Todd's death?" Could it be that the crystal ball is not accurate, or that this kid is so talented that he can make some short-term predictions even if his mental power is not up to standard? ”
Ciric didn't know much about prophecy, thought for a long time, and said, "Maybe we should call Washington and ask them to find someone from the prophecy school to take a look." ”
"Great idea!" Arsene Wenger agreed.
Alex stayed where he was, confused, and suddenly found a girl among the seven survivors, probably named Claire, hiding there next to the big tree opposite, and whispered to him, "Get out of here!" ”
At this time, Todd's body was carried out, and Alex watched him being put into a black bag, carried to the car, and turned to look for Claire's traces, and found that the tree was already empty.
He now has no master in his heart, and he doesn't know what to do, so he subconsciously followed Claire's prompts to do it, didn't stay long, and left here directly and returned home.
The next day, Alex found Claire's home based on the address he had inquired about.
When she saw Alex, Claire welcomed him into her workshop as if she was waiting for him to arrive.
Alex came up and asked bluntly, "Why did you go to Todd's house last night?" ”
Claire was busy with the welding work in her hands, and asked without looking back, "What about you?" Why did you go? Did you foresee the danger again? ”
Looking at Claire's breezy appearance, Alex was slightly annoyed in his heart. Now that there is another human life, she is still so casual, not at all like she has just experienced life and death.
Claire put down the welding torch, took off her hat and anti-glare magic mirror, and turned around. Alex looked at her beautiful face, and it was not inferior to the wheat-colored model in the magazine.
The young Mu Ai, who is always more patient with good things, suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said, "I do see something. ”
"I see it too," Claire looked into his eyes, "but I only see you, I can sense what you perceive, and I can sense your thoughts when your mood fluctuates greatly from the plane onwards." ”
She took a step closer to the boy, "Alex, we have a heart-to-heart connection. ”
Alex's face suddenly turned red, and he was forced to take two steps back by her sudden approach, and the corners of his mouth moved twice, but he didn't know what to say, but he was still a little excited in his heart.
Scold.
The viewing experience in these two days is rich enough, from the crash disaster movie at the beginning to yesterday's death thriller, and the 18 banned films that almost entered. Now, it has directly become a youth love film.
However, now is not the time to fall in love.
Luke deeply perceived Claire's mental state, and found that she was really a little unusual, in addition to her own mental power slightly higher than that of ordinary people, she should also have a shallow witch blood, and her ability was probably similar to that of psychic.
Obviously, she is very unskilled in the use of her abilities now, and can only channeled to Alex, who has a deep origin.
These two people should be the two people who are most likely to survive Luke's gambling game.
Luke sensed it, there was no abnormality around, it was probably the halftime given by Tiandao. He directly used the divine "dream" to pull Alex into the dream, and by the way, through the psychic link between the two, Claire was also pulled in.
The boy and girl just felt in a trance, and suddenly the environment around them changed dramatically, from an ordinary garage to a morgue with no end in sight.
A large ball of light suddenly appeared in the field of vision of the two of them, and a fluctuation of thought came.
"Do you understand the meaning of life?"
Yes?
The two didn't know why, and they were stunned in place.
Luke continued to output words: "Life, destined to die. You are like mice, toyed with by cats. Whatever you do, great feats, or no deeds; Running a red light, or waiting for a red light; Be someone's lover, or be a passerby. ”
His tone suddenly became intriguing: "Get on the plane, or get off the plane." ”
Hearing this, Alex and Claire glanced at each other, and this was them.
Luke's voice continued: "These are all predestined procedures, you have already made the list of the Grim Reaper, even if you escape this death procedure, there will be a next time, until the 'error' is corrected." ”
The two of them thought of Todd at the same time.
Isn't his death a "correction"?
"If you want to escape the 'correction', you have to be careful about everything around you. Beware of sharp blades, beware of passing cars, beware of falling overhead, and beware of any accidents that may occur. Use your instincts and be keenly aware of any danger that is coming. ”
After listening to Luke's prompt, Alex fell into deep thought.
If what it says is true, and the Grim Reaper is chasing him, then what is this big ball of light?
According to his words, he should have been kind to himself and others, otherwise he would not have come to remind him.
Claire said directly, "Thank you for the reminder, can we know your name?" ”
Luke didn't answer, the matter was already explained, and presumably they would be more vigilant. He directly kicks the two out of the dream and returns them to the real world.
Whew-
The two men collapsed to the ground at this time, and after waking up from their dreams, they stood up in a panic and looked at each other.
"You dreamed of it too?" They said in unison.
"That big ball of light, you were there at the time, and you had the same dream, didn't you?" Alex asked excitedly.
Claire nodded, "I'm here, I see it too." ”
"What we just saw is true!" Alex was excited, thinking of what the ball of light said, and suddenly became depressed again: "So we are all on the list of the Grim Reaper, and we are targeted by it. ”
Claire was also worried, but encouraged her, "At least we have a way to survive, don't we?" ”
Hearing Claire's comfort, Alex's heart calmed down a little, he was quiet for a while, then suddenly stood up sharply and shouted: "There are still a few of them, we must remind them, now they are also in the chase of death." ”
Just do it, and over the phone, Alex and Claire asked a few people out.
The two set up a meeting place at a café, which is also a frequent meeting place for students at Mount Abraham Middle School. Billy, Tyri, and Carter, a young couple, as well as Mr. Liudun, who is planning to move, all arrived on time.
Carter arrives by car, he and Alex have always been at odds, they don't like each other, and just after a few words of greeting with Lyadun, he blames Alex for her move.
Seeing that the personnel had arrived, Alex stood up and said, "I have something to say, you must believe me!" ”
Before Alex could tell him about the Grim Reaper, Carter began to taunt his face, standing in front of Alex and shouting, "It's all Alex's fault!" ”
Alex was also furious, but continued with his words, only raising his voice, as if he was spraying Carter: "You are all in danger!" ”
Carter's girlfriend, Terry, was very dissatisfied with the fact that he was always getting trouble with Alex, and pushed him, saying, "I'm not going to worry about the crash, I'm going to live a new life." If you're going to waste your time and focus on getting Alex in trouble, you might as well die. ”
With that, she turned and left, about to walk across the road.
At this time, Luke was in the air, nervously watching the scene on the ground.
These two stupid people, just after saying that, told them to be cautious and not to stay in dangerous places, and now they directly called everyone out into the street.
Is this the place the for those of you who are being hunted by death?
Can you be a little self-conscious?
Luke was thinking about it when he suddenly sensed something was wrong.
His vision covered the entire block, and he saw the origin of the anomaly.
A bus driver should be in a hurry and driving fast. A small bee flew out of nowhere, swaying in front of him and getting closer and closer to his eyes.
The driver took one hand off the keypad to pounce on the bee, and his vision moved away from the front of the vehicle, not spotting Terry crossing the street.
Fuck you! Again?
Fortunately, Luke had prepared an emergency in advance.
Three hulky ravens lunged down from the sky and slammed into Terry's chest.
Although the weight of the crow is small, under the high-speed flight, the three collide synchronously, and the strength has reached a certain level, which directly makes Terry stumble back.
Terry, who was attacked by the crows, had just screamed and was about to curse, when the bus had already sped past where she had just stood, and the three crows were smashed to pieces, and bright red blood splashed all over her with fine bones and broken feathers, and also splashed into her newly opened mouth.
Terry was nauseous and retching at first, and before the dirty blood in his mouth could be spit out, he suddenly felt a rush of fear into his brain.
If it hadn't been for those crows just now, it would have been her who had become such a crumb.
Realizing this, she shuddered, lost all her strength, and collapsed to the ground.
Carter didn't care about it at this time, he rushed up to pick up Terry, turned around and stared at Alex, and was about to drive home with his girlfriend.
Drive? Fuck you!
Luke has just rescued this woman and cracked the death design of the Heavenly Dao, who knows if they will be sent to another world by a fully insured half-trailer red light on the road.
Carter got into the car and plugged in the key to light the light, but strangely, no matter how he turned the key, the electric spark didn't move at all.
Of course, this is Luke playing tricks, he used the "Thunder" divinity to forcibly scrap the battery, and today Carter is not going to drive this car anyway.
He slammed the steering wheel with both hands angrily, and Luke's heart was shocked, for fear that the airbag would pop out, and then accidentally bring some strange things, and directly send this Erbi young man to the west sky.
Fortunately, Tiandao was more martial arts at this time, and did not suddenly engage in a sneak attack, Terry also calmed down after panicking, she got out of the car directly, and Carter quickly pushed the car door and followed.
At this point, the group parted unhappily, except for Claire, no one cared about Alex's so-called Grim Reaper, and he had to return to his home in disappointment.
As soon as the three crows died, Luke hurriedly gathered dozens more from other parts of the city and divided them into six groups to take care of each survivor, which was the only living force Luke could use.
Tiandao still seemed to be staring at Terry, and on her way home, before the crows could catch up, Luke used his Thunder Divine Power to manipulate the lights on half of the street to light up at a high load, attracting her attention and allowing her to avoid the fall of a high-altitude flower pot.
After two near-deaths, Terry herself became nervous and scared of everything, but in this state, her reaction was much faster, and she avoided a motorcycle that suddenly came out of the corner without Luke's help.
Heavenly Dao also seems to have the principle of not doing more than three things, after three attacks, under Luke's attention, Terry never encountered such a fatal danger again, as if he had been let go for the time being, and returned home safely.
At this time, Alex also returned home, looked at the accident report about the crash on the news, and fell into deep thought.
In this accident, it was the crow who saved Terry, and the news of Todd's death was only passed on after the crow knocked on his window. So, are the crows specifically helping themselves?
He opened the window and looked out, and sure enough, there were four or five crows standing on the big tree outside the window. Although this bird is common in the city, it doesn't seem normal for four or five birds to gather at the same time and stay quietly outside their windows.
However, instead of making him feel fearful, the crows gave Alex a sense of protection and security.
He could vaguely sense that these crows might have a connection with the large ball of light from before.
