Whether stepping on an unfinished manhole cover on the road, being bombarded by building materials in a street lined with tall buildings, or being hit by a car out of control, Gao Jian was able to narrowly escape death, although most of this was due to Qi Bing's very superior nature-based spiritual ability protects, but Gao Jian is also indispensable.
Because he has gradually gotten used to... used to this feeling of being on the verge of life and death.
Some people say: Adversity can truly make a person. So... According to this logic, in just half a day, Gao Jian has obviously been shaped super-fast and super-intensively.
He doesn't know how many times he has watched fragments of his life, and how many times he escaped and ascended to heaven before turning into meat sauce. If these experiences of his are converted into a certain amount, it is: enough to make a heart attack and die for a year. More than a hundred times.
At this time, Gao Jian was already numb to disasters and sudden accidents, and the lower limit of his psychological endurance was repeatedly refreshed... It is estimated that he will not feel anything when riding a roller coaster or watching horror movies in the future, because it is the same as facing death. In comparison, these are not worth mentioning at all.
At 11:15 p.m., Qi Bing had already left the urban area with Gao Jian. At this moment, the two were standing in a wasteland in the suburbs, surrounded by nothing but weeds.
"Student Qi Bing... Would you like to sit down and rest for a while, I think it's quite safe here." Gao Jian suggested.
Qi Bing shook his head: "It doesn't matter to me, I still have enough physical strength. When I get here, it is much safer than in the urban area. In places without artificial facilities, as long as there are no meteorites or very violent crustal changes, I can basically Handle all kinds of situations.”
Gao Jian felt relieved after hearing this, and said with a little ease: "Hehe...you are really powerful. If it weren't for today's incident, I would never believe that there are people with spiritual abilities in the world, let alone think that you, Qi Bing, are one of them."
Qi Bing remained expressionless: "I hope you don't sell this as information..."
"How could it be? I am a very moral person! I have always specialized in gossip, and other information can only be regarded as a sideline." Gao Jian is indeed quite shameless, it seems that he went to the drama club to find Wang Xu during the day It's no coincidence...
After a long time, the two still did not encounter any form of pursuit, but they waited for Master Cat and Wang Xu.
Qi Bing asked directly: "Has the investigation on the death list come to a conclusion?"
Wang Xu spread his hands: "If you ask him, I don't know anything."
Master Mao nodded and said: "The conclusion is naturally... Gao Jian, you have two choices now. The first is to die before midnight. There are still a few minutes before twelve o'clock. If you choose this, I can quickly As a result, you and everyone on this list are destined to die immediately before midnight, and at the last minute, it is also possible for all of them to have a myocardial infarction. The so-called today is today, and there is no room for maneuver."
Gao Jian felt that there was no need to mention this option, who would choose to die? So he asked, "What about the second option?"
Master Cat knew that he would ask such a question, so he turned to Wang Xu and said, "Give him the list of gods of death."
Wang Xu hesitated for a moment, then took out the booklet from his pocket and handed it to Gao Jian.
Master Mao continued: "Unfortunately, for the second option, you are dead too...but everyone else on the list can live."
"Ah?!" Gao Jian almost fainted after hearing these words, and he was doomed.
Master Cat then explained: "Of course, choosing the second method of death can not only save many people, but also a good thing for yourself. You can use this to become the god of death."
No one would believe his words, let alone Gao Jian, Wang Xu was the first to jump out: "What? You mean that he will be able to ascend to become a god as soon as twelve o'clock? Are you fooling me?" Where's the idiot?"
"I can't tell you the details, but Gao Jian was lucky in a sense. If he died in the initial pursuit, the list would test the next person, but you saved him, and Qi Bing has been Helping him persist until midnight, he is like cheating on an extremely dangerous game, and he will soon get the final reward... "
"But I... I don't want to die yet..." Gao Jian looked down at his watch nervously, the time was waiting for no one, twelve o'clock would be here soon.
Qi Bing asked: "Is there no third choice for him?"
Master Cat shook his head: "Obviously not, it doesn't matter who the list is on, it can still operate on its own, when he starts to test the candidates, everything is irreversible, either become its new owner, or be killed by it die."
"Then it's fine if I tear it up!" Gao Jian yelled loudly, he tore the booklet hysterically, and stepped on the shredded paper on the ground a few times. The papers disappeared quickly, as if by magic.
Master Cat sighed: "Even so, it's futile..."
"How is it possible?! I tore it up!" Gao Jian's face suddenly changed when he said this. He looked down and saw that he was still holding an identical booklet in his left hand.
"If this thing could be destroyed, it would have been killed along with its original owner long ago. Obviously, this is an existence higher than the god of death itself. If we are all software that can be deleted in this world at any time, then this thing is the One of the hardware that works, you can't fight it."
With Master Cat's explanation, midnight arrived as scheduled, Gao Jian's face was pale, and his body was drenched in cold sweat. He thought that he would be fine after 12 o'clock, but he didn't expect to know at the last moment that everything was in vain.
Wang Xu asked, "Hey! Are you going to watch him die like this?"
Before Master Mao answered this question, Gao Jian disappeared by himself, as if teleporting, leaving no traces to be found.
"Where did he go?!" Qi Bing's ability to perceive the surrounding environment is even better, but at this moment he can't sense any living things except some mice and insects.
"He should still be there, it's just that we can't see him anymore... Let's go, this matter is settled."
How could Wang Xu accept such an ending: "This is a living person after all, so forget it?"
Master Cat said again: "He doesn't belong to this world anymore. From just now, he is the new owner of the death list. He will survive in a new way of life. From the time we take over the list to the selection of candidates for this thing People, it happened to be his turn in these ten pages, it can only be called fate."
Although Wang Xu and Qi Bing were still a little bit hard to let go, they were helpless. Gao Jian's fate was indeed doomed when he was selected, either he would be killed as a person, or he would become a death god and leave the world. It will be his death day, today... this is his death day!
