Chapter 30 – The God of Death is Coming

Translator: Yuzu

The night was too quiet for even the slightest movement such as the sound of a pin dropped on the floor could be heard.

Sitting alone on the couch, with the lights on in every room, Liang Jing purposely turned on the TV. He turned the TV channel to the central station and put the volume to five, so it wouldn’t be too loud, nor would it send him into silence to the point of panic.

“Thump, thump, thump.” There was a sudden subtle crashing sound in the kitchen. Liang Jing’s heart stumbled, he immediately covered his head with the blanket, grabbed the remote, and put the volume to maximum.

It’s okay. It’s okay.

Don’t overthink it.

He took a deep breath, and his chest moved.

“Pop!” The TV’s screen shifted, it suddenly began to twitch into streaks of color, and the picture began to reassemble.

Liang Jing’s mouth was slightly open, his two hands clutching the corner of the blanket in a death grip, his eyes full of horror.

The TV turned out to show a car suddenly accelerating and knocking over a girl. The driver seemed confused and then opened the window to look back at the girl’s body. Perhaps it was because he was too nervous, but instead of putting the car into first gear, he threw it into reverse. So the vehicle once again crushed the girl’s body and made a loud scuffling sound.

Only then did the driver re-started the vehicle as if waking up from a dream, speeding away from the scene.

Liang Jing’s hands began to twitch and shake uncontrollably, and his throat was just like a switch that had been pressed to close the sound, so he couldn’t even scream.

He saw it!

This driver was himself!!!

But the scene didn’t just stop there. After the car sped away, it was as if the picture was static, with no sound and no change.

At this moment, the body of the girl who had fallen in a pool of blood suddenly jerked. The body moved as if it was uncoordinated and then slowly got up in an extremely twisted position, moving very, very slowly. If this scene had happened in a movie theater, Liang Jing might have even laughed at the movement.

But at this moment, Liang Jing couldn’t laugh. It was as if his entire body was set in place, and he began to twitch all over, unable to struggle or even escape.

The girl finally stood still, her hair spread out on her sides. She didn’t open her eyes; both of them were closed. She also had several bloodstains on her face, and those started to flow from her forehead directly to her neck, which looked like it had been broken. With her head hung helplessly on her shoulders, she slowly walked towards the direction of the camera.

Liang Jing’s heartbeat began to accelerate, so fast that he could even hear the sound of his own “bang bang bang”. He panted for air and wanted to scream, but he could not.

The girl slowly walked forward, and her figure zoomed in a little. She was wearing a blue to white-colored dress with blood all over it. It seemed as if she couldn’t feel any physical pain because even though one of her legs had been bent in two, she still walked forward in a strange and stubborn position.

The girl was getting closer…

She’s about to break through the screen!

Not only that, but all the lights in the room went dark in an instant. He looked towards the kitchen refrigerator. He could vaguely see a figure sitting there with something in its hand that looked like it was being stuffed into its mouth.

Before he could get a real good look at the person, he suddenly felt something drop onto his face, and the scene in the room began to change, turning out to be the scene of him dismembering the old man with his own hands…

Liang Jing’s heart was beating faster and faster, and his chest began to throb as if he was suffering from a heart attack. He was palpitating and gasping for breath. Suddenly, his eyes rolled back, he froze like a stake and then collapsed completely.

The lights in the room regained their brightness. Even the television changed back to the central channel, emitting the sound of a wordy broadcast.

Everything, everything had gone up perfectly normal.

You thought you could escape death, but you forgot! Nobody! No one can cheat death!

“This is a strange case!” The female officer had gloves on her hands, and her fingers were constantly flipping through the scene of Liang Jing’s death.

This female officer looked to be in her early forties.

“The autopsy showed that he died of a sudden myocardial infarction, but oddly enough, his medical records showed that he had never had a cardiac condition of any kind.” She frowned a little as she checked the entire house and indeed didn’t find any medications related to mental illness.

A group of officers nearby looked at each other.

Finally, an intern officer who had been silent for a long time spoke up, “Captain, I just read the documents sent over. Is he also a survivor of the 74666 case?”

“Huh?” The female officer’s mouth was slightly open, and her face was grave, as she hurriedly pulled out a document from her pocket, which was another case she was in charge of.

It was at this instant that all the police officers looked at each other with serious expressions.

It was very strange!

The female officer narrowed her eyes.

She had received a report just yesterday that another female survivor of the 74666 case had gnawed herself to death from hunger and ended up bleeding to death.

She had even adjusted the hospital’s surveillance at the time. Even though she was exceptionally psychologically strong, professionally trained, and had even been in the industry for years, she couldn’t help but feel nauseous when seeing images like that.

On discovering that she was a survivor of the same accident as several others, who had all died. She immediately arranged for someone to find the remaining survivors!

Unexpectedly, there’s another one dead!

Is it a coincidence?

The officer continued, “According to the investigation, the five people who have died so far were all members of the same club. In fact, that club has one other member besides the five of them.”

The female officer cast her eyes over the intern officer, “You, keep talking.”

“As a club activity, they all were supposed to go on a hike and rode a vehicle with the license plate number 74666, but for some unknown reason, they got off the bus altogether. There was actually one person from this club who didn’t participate in this activity that day.” The trainee officer looked at the information, “This person’s name is Xiao Chen.”

“Ding.” Her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts.

“Hello?”

“Captain! A dismembered old man’s body was found in the area outside of town. It looks like he’s been dead for at least half a month, forensic support requested here.”

“Roger!” The female officer resumed her iceberg face, then said to the intern officer behind her, “You go investigate this Xiao Chen.”

Xiao Chen put both of his calves on the man’s thighs.

The man pulled the child’s leg, rolled his trousers up, and then began to intimately massage the flesh of the child’s calf, which was so thin that it looked almost fleshless but was soft when squeezed.

Xiao Chen’s mouth was stuffed with a lollipop, and he was bored with his phone playing a small game.

Suddenly, he put down his phone and stared at the side of the man’s face.

The man’s face was white, a somewhat sickly whiteness, but the features were beautiful. Whether it was the hawkish nose or the thin lips, they were fatally attractive to him.

Xiao Chen’s eyelids fluttered, directly hooking both arms around the man’s neck, the whole person lay in the man’s arms as if he was in a princess hold.

“I fell down! I need a kiss from my husband to get up!” Xiao Chen rolled his eyes.

The man lowered his head to meet the child’s eyes. The child’s eyes were like pools of water, bright and clear. A pair of phoenix eyes were slightly curved into a crescent shape, looking somewhat cute.

He patted the child’s thigh with some amusement and bowed his head, dropping a soft kiss on his eyes as the child looked expectantly at him.

He liked that look, liked that the youth’s eyes were all about him.

“Stop it, sit still, and I’ll rub your leg!”

Xiao Chen let go of the man’s neck and continued to lie flat, letting out a “hehehe” laugh.

The man’s hand rubbing the child’s leg made a sudden stop as if he sensed something and narrowed his eyes.

The corners of his mouth rose unexpectedly.

Do you think you can fight Death?

No one would ever know the truth about what Death was trying to hide.

The man’s expression returned to normal, and he continued to massage the child’s leg gently.

No one can touch the person that Death is trying to protect.
