The explosion just now didn't cause any damage to the translucent shadow, all the gravel and splashes directly passed through the translucent shadow.
David wanted to order the translucent shadow to come back, but he felt a sense of satisfaction from the translucent shadow, as if he was full of something.
Outside what he couldn't see, the translucent shadow was stopping at a distance of ten meters away from him. This distance was the maximum distance that the translucent shadow could leave him.
This location also happens to be the location of the door where the bookstore completely disappears. A series of invisible objects are attracted by the translucent shadow, fly towards the translucent shadow and enter its body.
Anyone who counts them will find that the number of these vain substances is exactly the number of people who died.
David felt that his connection with the translucent shadow was getting closer and closer. If he used the mobile phone 2G network to connect to the translucent shadow, it is now like using a 3G network connection. Feel.
He didn't understand what happened, but he knew that there was nothing wrong with the translucent shadow. Instead, he seemed to have gained some benefits, so he didn't care about the translucent shadow.
After all, the time he obtained the translucent shadow was too short, so short that he didn't even have the ability to truly understand the translucent shadow.
David tried to stand up. The injury on his back was a little painful, but it didn't have any major impact. He walked towards the bathroom door that lost the metal door.
Stepping on the stagnant water on the ground, he walked carefully. The ground was full of fragments after the explosion.
Suddenly he stopped, because he saw a metal cylinder-shaped object, which was just as thick as one hand and about 20 centimeters long. The inside was hollow with a black glass-like mirror that connected the two ends of the metal cylinder. Sealed.
In this chaotic environment, this metal cylinder is extremely clean, so clean that people have to focus on it.
No matter how ignorant David was about the world, he knew that this was not an ordinary item, so he bent down and picked it up.
He didn't have the intention of possessing this metal cylinder, but he thought that he couldn't leave it here, and of course there was an element of curiosity in it.
Putting the metal cylinder in his pocket, he walked out of the bathroom. Compared with the interior of the bathroom, the damage in the hall of the bookstore was more serious.
The entire bookstore is filled with choking smoke, the transparent glass wall and the door outside the bookstore have disappeared, large red blood clots, and complete or damaged human bodies are scattered inside and outside the store.
When the personal flying shuttle collides with the crowd, the crowd cannot escape in time due to the excessive speed of the personal flying shuttle and the crowding around.
The Personal Space Shuttle disintegrated at the end, and its backup power source exploded, leaving the area with few survivors.
David had a nauseating feeling of wanting to vomit. He knew very well that there were nearly a hundred people gathered outside the bookstore, but at this time there were only a dozen complete corpses, and the most were metal fragments and bloody fragments that could be seen everywhere.
His mind went blank, but he was soon awakened by a miserable moan.
David was about to step forward to help the people who were still struggling on the ground, but he heard the sound of sirens from the air, and then he saw two blue and white police patrol flying cars approaching.
He couldn't help but stop. It's best for this kind of injury to be done by a professional. Since the rescue came, there was no need for him to intervene.
A blue and white police patrol boat hovered on the road in front of the bookstore, and a dozen uniformed policemen jumped from it.
All the policemen were stunned by the sight in front of them, and immediately became busy amidst various shouts.
The only David who was able to stand at the scene completely received special attention, and the police came towards him.
"Are you okay?" A middle-aged policeman asked David while checking David's identity bracelet with an instrument in his hand.
David shook his head, he didn't speak because he saw Jessica's body.
The girl who walked together in the morning was now lying in a pool of blood, and a piece of metal from the personal flying shuttle was inserted into her heart.
"I'm Officer Bob, the medical staff will be here soon, and they will treat your injury!" The middle-aged police officer Bob looked at the instrument in his hand, knew that this was still a student, and seeing David's expression, he couldn't help but Dave gave him a comforting pat.
David has no memory of Jessica, but he knows that Jessica and his predecessor are at least friends, otherwise they would not come to the bookstore together.
He couldn't tell how he felt about Jessica's death, neither sad nor sad. What he felt most at this moment was fear, a kind of extreme fear.
If he didn't perceive danger from the translucent shadow, he would be among the corpses that fell on the ground.
He nodded to Officer Bob in a daze, but his gaze was still on Jessica's body.
The second batch of white ambulance aircraft arrived, and David was surprised by the city's quick emergency response.
Just three minutes after the explosion here, the police and medical personnel had all arrived.
This did not make David happy, because it further explained the danger here. It is precisely because of the frequent danger that the police and medical staff have such a quick response ability.
He thought of those buildings without windows and the city he saw. Beauty is not important, but sturdiness is the most important thing.
A paramedic treated the wound on his back and applied some medicine to the burn on his hand.
After being told by the medical staff that he was fine, David did not get on the ambulance aircraft to the hospital.
Part of the reason is that he wants to go home immediately, relatively speaking, that is the place where he feels the safest, and another reason is that the wounded transported to the air ambulance are all seriously injured, and those who can scream are in better condition .
Knowing that his body was fine, he didn't want to experience this tragedy again.
Officer Bob left the contact information of the identity bracelet on David's wrist so that the police could contact him later, and he could leave the scene and the bookstore.
When he left the bookstore, he sensed a translucent shadow following him, and none of the policemen could detect it.
At a distance of three kilometers, David ran back home quickly all the way, completely ignoring the look of the passers-by looking at him in a state of distress.
As soon as he entered the house, he immediately closed the door heavily, and then he leaned against the door like this.
Although he had died once, the danger today still frightened him a lot.
He sat on the ground a little weakly, from a peaceful world to this dangerous world he didn't understand, he felt deep fear.
The novelty of coming to this world for the first time was shattered by the sudden danger, especially when the Jessica he knew died tragically in front of him. This feeling was something he had never experienced in his previous life.
At this time, he most hopes that someone can comfort him, but with his unrecovered memory, he doesn't know who to talk to, not to mention that his time travel is his biggest secret, and he can't share it with others. He thought of it Translucent shadows.
Just as he was thinking, the translucent shadow accepted his thoughts, emerged from invisibility, and sat beside him.
Looking at the translucent shadow beside him, he couldn't help but feel relieved for a while. At the most dangerous time, the translucent shadow saved him.
Thinking about the translucent shadow he saw last night, he was frightened at first, but later found out that it was not dangerous, so he took it as a cheat for time travel, and made all kinds of ways to activate the cheat that are ridiculous now.
Now David was full of gratitude in his heart. He stretched out his hand to pat the translucent shadow as if he were treating a friend.
