The people who hired me are dead
Chapter 24
When Rhett comforted Meryl and walked to the temporary studio, he met the sheriff, followed by a benevolent priest with a holy water bottle in his hand.
The priest is very old. From the appearance, he should be 80 years old.His movements are sluggish, his eyes are cloudy, and he sits on a chair with a cross hanging on his chest.
When he saw Red, the sheriff took his hand and said, "I asked Father Austin, but he said he hadn't done anything like that, and he couldn't do it."
"At least he didn't intend to lie." Rhett frowned and said, "It's useless to ask a priest."
"Listen to Detective Reed, if we are facing a supernatural event, it should be handed over to professionals." The sheriff pointed out the window and said, "I support your work, but I also hope that you can think of me. "
Rhett's footsteps paused, and he turned to the priest and said, "Spencer Rhett, hello, Father Austin, what do you see?"
Father Austin shook his head, held the holy water and said helplessly, "I'm afraid I can't help, I don't feel any ominous breath. I have seen the previous video tapes, and the supernatural events here are not so much caused by evil forces. Death's will."
His words attracted Rhett's attention. He looked at the priest, thought for a while and said, "Can you talk to us specifically."
Father Austin glanced at Rhett's young face, and there was love in his eyes.Rhett could feel the priest's concern for him, and Father Austin said in silence for a long time, "You are still young, you should do your job well instead of meddling in this matter. It will bring you endless disasters and indelible go to the pain,"
The priest must know more than he's letting on, and Rhett tries to get a little information from him.He explained, "Father, the plane crash and the Tennessee bus bombing have killed more than 200 people. Among these people, only one has committed the crime of theft. There are 2 pregnant women, 3 police officers, and the youngest victim." The victim was only three years old. They did nothing wrong, Father Austin. We have nowhere to avenge a natural disaster, but it is a man-made disaster."
"Actually, I am not the one who can really rewrite the death list. I can't interfere with the God of Death's decision, and neither can you." The priest showed a sad expression, his eyelids drooped, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed together.
He looked at Rhett and advised, "He is a god, child, but we are humans. Even if it is a god of death, everything he does must have his reasons, and we must respect his decision."
Rhett understood what the priest said, and also felt the priest's concern for him.But he could not accept the priest's concept, he said seriously, "Your belief is very pious, priest, you respect God, but I respect these lives, thank you for your concern."
"You're still young." The priest repeated again, as if he was implying something to Rhett, but also as if he was just stating the facts.
"Father, when believers walk into the church and ask you for help, can you ignore their tears?" Rhett asked.
The priest didn't say anything more, he drew a cross on Rhett, nodded with the sheriff, then turned and left.
"You heard it too." The sheriff shrugged and said, "There is indeed a god of death, which is beyond our ability to deal with it."
Reid knew what the sheriff was worried about. It was nothing more than how he would explain to the outside world if a few students died in this police station.They all believed in the existence of the Grim Reaper, but the outside world would not believe it, nor would their superiors.
"We have found some patterns, and the probability of success is getting higher and higher, now it is 50.00%." Reed said.
"Stop, Detective Rhett." The sheriff whispered, "I saw the chess pieces slide to Elvis' feet as if they were alive, and I also saw the glass shards stand up the moment Morgan stepped on them. And he still He can manipulate the weather, and he can make ball lightning enter the house. When he can control natural disasters, then his evil deeds cannot be stopped by human power."
"In any case, there must be a reason for the death." Reed said in a deep voice, "except for the Tennessee tourist bus, we can't find any other similar cases. The United States has never been short of catastrophes, but survivors still have the opportunity to reunite after grief. Life. Sheriff, do you understand what that means?"
"There was no death before," said the sheriff.
"Reaper should not exist in this world, at least not in the United States. Simply put, Reaper is a foreign species to America, and he is madly destroying the order and stability of this country." Rhett lowered his voice, speaking Su Fei said quickly, "If it is your and my responsibility to protect the security of this country, then we must face the god of death."
The sheriff blushed. He looked at Rhett's expression, pursed his lips, and kept rubbing his hands on the gun at his waist.He was silent for a while, then sighed and said, "You can make any request, including me, you can mobilize all the resources of this police station at will. I can continue to keep the media a secret, but I have one request. I just hope When it's over, seeing that all of our hard work these past few days was not in vain."
The sheriff was a good cop, at least he was willing to listen to Rhett.In order to show friendliness, Rhett offered to shake hands with the sheriff.He couldn't say anything more. It must be Hu Qi who finally finalized the cooperation.
Father Austin walked out of the police station, and he politely refused the umbrella the police handed him.He looked up at the dim sky and sighed a long time.
He slowly walked up the nearby street, listening to the screams of pedestrians and the sharp sound of car horns in the distance, and an out-of-control truck crashed towards him.
The priest didn't dodge, he stood where he was, drew a cross in the direction of the police station and said reverently, "God protect..."
His prayer was not yet finished, and with a loud bang, the priest disappeared in place.The passers-by watched in horror at the bloody corpse smashed into the wall, took out their mobile phones and called the police tremblingly.
........................
"Yun?" Sidney looked at Yun Xinzhuo, who was silent, and called out in doubt.
"I want to go to the bathroom, don't worry, I'm fine now." Yun Xinzhuo blinked, took off the blanket on his body and walked out quickly.
'I'm not on the death list anymore, am I? '
[Yes, because theoretically speaking, you have already died, and the power of the god of death will no longer actively attack you.And from the moment of binding, neither the Grim Reaper nor its power can take revenge against you. ]
He went into the toilet cubicle and locked the door, asking in his head 'what are we going to do with death. '
[Sorry Mr. Yun, I can't tell you the method directly. ] The mechanical sound of the system appeared immediately.
'Why. 'Yun Xinzhuo asked suspiciously leaning on the partition.
[Because the god of death is a plane god, Mr. Yun.The Grim Reaper rules over an entire plane.And this system belongs to the main god of space, the system number is HG73-203.Judging from my position, I am just a servant of God.Although the departments are different, strictly speaking, my position and ability are lower than that of a plane god. ] The system paused and continued to explain
[The nature of this world restricts the development of this plane. There is no plane god in this world, which is one of the main reasons why the power of the god of death can easily invade.The system repaired the space loophole at the first time, but part of the energy of death has already formed, and this system has no power to continue to clear the remaining energy. ]
'So what we're dealing with is really a god? 'Yun Xinzhuo asked,'You let me deal with something that even a servant of God can't handle? '
[Mr. Yun, I have reached an agreement with Death God. From now on, this will be a fair competition, and the loser will withdraw automatically. ] The system said calmly [I will not force you to complete the task, even if you fail in the end, I will not impose any punishment on you.To be clear, the relationship between the system and Mr. Yun is an equal partnership. ]
Although its voice is cold and emotionless, just like ordinary AI.But Yun Xinzhuo can receive the friendliness and comfort conveyed by its voice. It is an intelligent creature, at least it has its own thoughts and emotions.
'I am now considered someone you hired, in order for me to do my job better, you should also tell me what I should do. 'Yun Xinzhuo tentatively said,' For example, what is your agreement. '
[There are only two terms in the agreement, sir.Rule number one: His power can kill you, and you can kill what remains of his power. ]
'What about the second one? '
[The second system has changed the outcome of the survivors' death. From the moment the agreement takes effect, as long as certain conditions are met, the survivors can truly escape from the death list.From then on, he will no longer be hunted down by the power of the god of death until he dies naturally. ]
'Is there anything else you can tell me? '
[The god of death is restricting my actions, there are not many places where I can help you, and the information I can provide you is also limited.I can only say that the rules of this world are still in effect, it limits Death, and it also limits you. ] The system's speech speed began to increase, and its voice became lower and lower, as if it wanted to tell Yun Xinzhuo some secret.
[Reaper kept the power, and I also kept the key.Find the key, and the balance of victory will tip slightly.Mr. Yun, you still have a gift bag that you haven't collected yet, please get it as soon as possible.If you have no other questions, System 203 wishes you a happy life and see you next time. ]
After the system quickly finished speaking, it stopped making a sound. Yun Xinzhuo tentatively called a few times in his mind, and only heard two gift package prompts.
[Compensation gift package: primary consumable gift package (intermediate blood recovery and blue pill x 2, primary blood recovery and blue recovery x 5)
Unlock the Lightness Kung Fu, Note: Restricted by the rules of the plane, the host will not have light and shadow special effects when using the Light Kung Fu, and you need to use it to slide unsustainably.
Unlock all skills except the ultimate skill: Note, due to the limitation of the plane, the unlocking skills are unified under the sword technique, and the specific content needs to be explored by the host. ]
[Repair gift pack: primary consumable gift pack x 2. ]
[System 203 hereby wishes you a happy life. ]
Yun Xinzhuo took out a elixir, and the golden elixir appeared in his hand out of thin air.He squeezed the elixir and thought of his hometown.
He knew what the functions of these medicines were, they could save lives but they couldn't bring them back to life.When something really happened, the elixir can only be used as an aid, and the rest depends on oneself.
Yun Xinzhuo threw the pill up and down, and threw it directly into the system space.There was a commotion outside, and he opened the door and walked out.
A black policewoman grabbed him and said, "Yun, the priest called by the police chief is dead."
"Father?" Yun Xinzhuo asked suspiciously.
"I don't know what's going on, anyway, the sheriff is going crazy now." The female policeman grabbed Yun Xinzhuo's arm and trotted all the way, dragging him to the temporary studio "They are all looking for you, you go in quickly .I'm going to deal with the scene of the accident, and get the sheriff under control by the way. To be honest, I feel like he's going to have a heart attack from his anger."
Yun Xinzhuo was pushed into the temporary studio by her, and the profilers who were discussing inside all looked up at him.
There was a seat beside Reid, and as soon as Yun Xinzhuo sat down, Gordon said, "Death killed Father Austin."
"Because the priest knows how to deal with the god of death, or he knows how to make the survivors escape the attack of the god of death." Reid turned to Yun Xinzhuo and added, "His existence threatened the god of death, so he was cleaned up."
"How did he know that?" Yun Xinzhuo said in surprise.
"You have to admit that there are some capable people and strangers in this world." Reed shrugged and said, "But he insisted that the will of the god of death cannot be violated, and he was unwilling to tell me any method. He only revealed one message to me, and he told me, We could all die from it."
Yun Xinzhuo just got some information from the system, he thought for a moment, and sifted through, "I actually never understood why there can only be three attacks by the god of death."
"This is also where we have doubts." Al mused, "The same doubts appeared in the attack of the god of death. As a god, the god of death we are facing seems to be far less powerful than we imagined. Something is restraining him. action."
The whiteboard behind Gordon listed all the doubts. He tapped the board with a whiteboard marker and said, "We found one point, and it is also very important. Reaper can control the weather, but its strength is limited. For example, ball lightning and storms, yes It can only attack after brewing. And so far, it has not launched an irresistible natural disaster to attack survivors. For example, tornadoes, you must know that tornadoes are not uncommon for the United States."
"This shows that the Grim Reaper can be resisted to a certain extent, and its attack has the possibility of evasion." Morgan tapped his finger on the table and said, "But we are not sure if something similar to Leonard will happen again. After three attacks, there was an unstoppable attack. And whether the attack was targeting the survivors or the recipients of the death notice.”
"From a certain point of view, this should be a fair competition." Yun Xinzhuo said softly.
"Obviously yes, something is binding Reaper. It gives us an opportunity to help survivors, but we're not sure if that opportunity will last forever. Simply put, it's unknown whether Reaper's power will grow stronger Yes." Rhett said quickly.
"So we plan to complete the last two attacks of Meryl and Avis as soon as possible. We have enough manpower, and the sheriff has temporarily delegated power." Hu Qi looked at Yun Xinzhuo and said, "Meryl and Avis will not When attacked at the same time, we have a certain amount of time to assist. Yun police, your reaction ability is very good, and you have helped the survivors of the travel bus to escape the pursuit of death, you have experience in facing death. We hope you can participate in the whole process , and temporarily accept our command."
The priest is very old. From the appearance, he should be 80 years old.His movements are sluggish, his eyes are cloudy, and he sits on a chair with a cross hanging on his chest.
When he saw Red, the sheriff took his hand and said, "I asked Father Austin, but he said he hadn't done anything like that, and he couldn't do it."
