The people who hired me are dead

Al slowly opened her eyes, she had slept for a long time.She looked around, neat medical facilities and white walls, this should be a single ward of the hospital.

She rubbed her painful forehead, recalling how she was surrounded by flames.She remembered that Yun Xinzhuo held her in his arms and got him a wet towel.

"Oh...clouds..." Al supported his body and sat up, raindrops were flowing along the window glass, and the sky had begun to clear.

The whole room was silent, and there was no trace of activity left on the seat.

Al walked a few steps slowly, and his body gradually recovered.She pushed open the door of the ward, the long corridor was empty and there was no one there.

Al doesn't find her phone in the hospital room, and needs to know what time it is and what happened while she was unconscious.

She grabbed her arm and looked around warily.Surrounded by closed wards, she thought back to where Gordon had told her the survivors had gathered.

When she got to that floor, she only saw messy bloodstains and traces of fighting.

There was a cordon around there, and a woman in a white coat was lowering her head to record.

"Sir, excuse me, what happened here." Al asked in the past.

"Oh...you woke up Agent Al. Don't be nervous. I saw you before the fire. Remember, I also showed you the way at that time." The woman put down her pen and said friendlyly: "Obviously, There was a fierce gun battle, and the men used explosives to destroy the walls of a room, and then shot at the poor people in this ward. But fortunately, the terrorists were wiped out."

Al looked along the woman's fingers, and vaguely saw a blood-stained wall.

"Poor Oliver," said the woman with a sigh, "he was so young to die in this disaster. Things are uncertain, and who knows."

Al nodded in catering, and she asked, "Do you know my colleagues, where are they all?"

"Like Director Hooch?" the woman asked.

"Yes." Al said.

The woman thought for a while and said, "Director Hu Qi and the older man are in 603 on the sixth floor. I don't know the specific room for Morgan in the side building. The gay couple should still be in 519."

"Thank you," Al said, turning to leave just as she was about to enter the elevator.

The woman stopped her suddenly, and Al turned around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"That... I'm not sure you're clear, but... you have two shadows?" the woman said hesitantly, pointing to the ground.

Al lowered her head in a daze, and she saw a shadow that belonged to her, and a slender black shadow.

Al took a deep breath, and she looked up at the female doctor.The female doctor's eyes widened and her body tensed up.

Al raised his eyebrows, shook his head slightly and said, "What are you talking about? Where are the two shadows?"

"Under your feet." The female doctor took a step back and bumped into the security line behind her, which was slightly shaken by her bump.

"No... what strange words are you talking about." Al shrugged, and said in a calm tone: "I suggest you take a good rest, you are already hallucinating from exhaustion, doctor."

The female doctor held the folder blankly, and after a while she said softly: "Well, maybe you are right, I haven't slept for three hours for more than two days."

"Don't be affected by this incident." Al lowered his head, looked at the extra shadow, and said meaningfully: "That's it, you go to rest, doctor, why do you have such severe hallucinations? Two A shadow, how is this possible."

"Yes." The female doctor rubbed her forehead, she spread her hands helplessly.

Al raised his head slightly, turned around and left quickly.

The female doctor stood where she was, staring at the extra shadow on the ground.

Al didn't take the elevator, and when Al walked into the stairwell, the female doctor saw the extra shadow climb up the wall and disappear.

"Damn it, what is that?" The female doctor swallowed, turned around and wanted to continue recording the scene.She climbed over the cordon into the bombed-out room where survivors had once gathered.

The female doctor forced herself to forget what happened just now, she turned her pen and looked at the large bloodstains on the wall.

"So... let me see what's going on." The female doctor bit the pen holder, and said in thought, "Why is this blood from Police Officer Yun? It's unreasonable, such a large amount of bleeding..."

She bent down to look at the blood on the ground, a large amount of blood formed a small puddle on the ground.

"Normal people would have died a long time ago. It's unscientific." The female doctor was wearing gloves, stained with dried blood, and murmured in confusion, "What's going on here? How could he be alive?"

Her eyes fell on the long bloodstains, on the blood drops on the ground, and on a broken steel bar not far away.

"It's not a good thing to be penetrated by it." The female doctor murmured, picking up the minced meat hanging on it with tweezers.

Just as she was about to take a closer look, she saw something move out of the corner of her eye.

She turned her head and called out tentatively, "Pansy, is that you?"

"Pansy?"

"Who's there? Hi, is anyone there?"

She leaned over vigilantly, carefully kicked away a piece of gravel, and a bullet casing slowly rolled out.

The female doctor let out a long sigh of relief, she turned around and lowered her head inadvertently, and saw a shadow beside her feet.

"My God..." The female doctor took two steps back in a panic, stepped on the bullet casing, and threw her body backwards.

She fell to the ground and struggled to get up, she said tremblingly: "God, what's going on, my god... oh my god..."

The female doctor murmured, but there was a faint sound above her head.

The female doctor raised her head, and a slowly loosening slate was reflected in her pupils.

"No, please... no!"

...............................

Al found that the shadow had disappeared at some point, she pushed open the door of the stairwell on the fifth floor, and saw Yun Xinzhuo and Reid standing in the corridor from a distance.

"Red." Al trotted over, and the two who were still whispering just now separated immediately when they heard her voice.

If it was normal, Al would play a joke on them.But now she didn't have that thought. She pulled her hospital gown and said in a low voice, "I saw that shadow."

"Reaper?" Rhett's face was still a little red, and while rubbing his hands on his pants, he said seriously: "When and where."

"3 minutes ago, at the place where the survivors gathered." Al said.

"How could it be?" Reid said in surprise: "Ivis is on the same floor as us, and he is in that room."

Rhett pointed to Ward 517 not far away, and Al understood what Rhett meant.If Elvis received a death notice, Meryl would definitely ask them for help as soon as possible.

"I didn't hear any abnormal sounds." Yun Xinzhuo said with certainty, "They didn't encounter danger or panic."

"But I saw it. Just a few minutes ago, there were two shadows under my feet." Elgar said with emphasis: "Something must have happened, and a female doctor also saw it."

"How is she?" Yun Xinzhuo asked.

"I have to stay away from her. I can only tell her that this is an illusion, so as not to involve her." Al's eyes fell on Yun Xinzhuo, and he didn't see anything unusual, but she knew that the blood on the wall should be From Yun Xinzhuo.

"Let me think about it. At present, the shadow will only appear when the death attack is about to start. So... why the shadow will appear at this time." Reid said softly: "Then where is it now?"

"I don't know," Al said.

Yun Xinzhuo can no longer contact the system. Although the system often loses contact, it will always take the initiative to contact Yun Xinzhuo after a few hours.

"I still can't get in touch with it." Yun Xinzhuo said in a deep voice, "Six hours have passed."

"What happened?" Al asked.

"We don't know, Al." Reid crossed his arms and tapped his fingers uneasily.

"We killed Osmond, and when you were in a coma, we killed another agent of the god of death, Varna." Yun Xinzhuo explained: "We are waiting for the next death notice, or investigating the agent of the god of death. Things. But the servant of God lost contact, and some words Varner said before he died, we are very concerned."

Al looked at Yun Xinzhuo suspiciously, and Reid said, "'Since you already believe in the existence of Death, why don't you believe in him.'"

Al was silent for a while, then she took a deep breath and whispered, "Don't tell me that's what I think."

"I don't want to say that, but at the moment... yes, it's what you think." Reid said anxiously: "And Sidney...he also gave hints in this regard."

Yun Xinzhuo put his arms around Reid's waist, shortening the distance between the two, and his body temperature passed to Reid's body.He gave Rhett a reassuring smile as he looked sideways at him.

"What makes us sure of this is that the God Servant has lost contact." Yun Xinzhuo hugged Rhett tightly, and explained calmly: "The God Servant is responsible for fighting against the god of death, and we are responsible for fighting against the agent of the god of death."

Al sighed for a long time. She was leaning against the wall and was about to say something when the expression on her face suddenly froze.She said softly: "Wait, so the shadow I saw just now is not... the same as the previous one."

Yun Xinzhuo blinked, and he quickly walked over to open the door of Room 517.Meryl was playing cards with Elvis, she raised her head and asked in doubt, "What's wrong?"

Al looked at them, pale.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go take a look first." Yun Xinzhuo patted Al on the shoulder and said to Reid, "You stay here, I'll be back soon."

Rhett nodded, and he grabbed Al and pulled her to the sofa.

Al didn't speak until the door slammed, and she said bluntly, "I didn't know that shadow was different from the previous one, and she wasn't a survivor either."

Rhett stood beside Al, pursing his lips tightly, not knowing what to say.

"What happened?" Meryl put down the cards and asked worriedly.

"There are some changes, and it's still uncertain." Reid said, the phone turned on, and it was a call from Yun Xinzhuo.

"How's the situation?" Reed answered the phone, and he didn't avoid Al, because Al's eyes were fixed on him.

"It's not very good, to be precise, it's very bad." Yun Xinzhuo stood in the trash, and at his feet was a female corpse whose head had been smashed off.From her blood-stained white coat, it can be judged that she is the female doctor Al met.

"Okay," Rhett said.

"She's dead, isn't she?" Al lowered his head and said softly.

"That's not your fault." Reid covered the phone and whispered, "It's impossible for you to predict this. I mean, you just woke up from a coma, and you don't know anything about it."

"Wait, Rhett, Rhett, listen to me."

Yun Xinzhuo's voice came over the phone, and Reid replied that he was there.

"I think we're in trouble." Yun Xinzhuo had seen too many corpses, and he didn't pay much attention to the dead female doctor.

"Bigger trouble?" Rhett asked.

Yun Xinzhuo held a list in his hand, looked at the wall in front of him, and said solemnly: "Yes, our guess may be right."

"There's very little blood on the wall, Rhett, and that steel bar, I'm sure I got blood all over it when I struggled. But now it looks like I'm just staying there On the wall, it’s like waiting for you to save me.” Yun Xinzhuo murmured: “I was still worried that the amount of bleeding would reveal some problems, but now... everything seems reasonable.”

"Video, and video," Reid said, "Live across America."

"No Rhett, that's not the same. People's memory and video recordings can only record me being pinned to the wall, but they don't know that I caused more trauma when I was struggling. Only the wall can prove that I was on the verge. Death." Yun Xinzhuo took a step back and accidentally stepped on the female doctor's body.

Yun Xinzhuo looked down, and a pen rolled out from under the corpse's clothes.The barrel of the pen was stained with blood and covered with a layer of dust. It rolled slowly under Yun Xinzhuo's gaze.Sliding across the burned and mutilated map scattered on the ground, he finally hit a rock and stopped.

"cloud?"

"Yun, are you okay?"

"Yun, just say a word, I can't hear your voice."

Rhett cried anxiously, his fingertips became cold.

He rubbed the corner of his clothes uneasily, wanting to find Yun Xinzhuo, but had to stay here to protect Elvis and Meryl.

"Cloud!" Rhett exclaimed, raising his voice.

Yun Xinzhuo's deep voice came from the phone, "Red, I'm not sure but... I saw a map. I don't know if it has any special meaning, but a pen just rolled onto the map, and It ended up stopping there."

"Where is it?" Rhett raised his eyebrows, and let go of the wrinkled corners of his clothes.

"New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Columbia, Virginia." Yun Xinzhuo squatted on the ground, carefully tracing the pen.

"So many?" Rhett said hesitantly.

"This is a small map, Rhett, it's not that big." Yun Xinzhuo put away his pen, removed the stone and picked up the map.He shook the dust on it, smacked his lips and said, "What kind of situation am I forced to think that this pen is trying to imply something to us?"

"Anything is possible, Cloud," Rhett said, and Al suddenly grabbed his wrist.Reid turned around and looked over, only to see Elvis's eyes widened, his face quickly paled.

Meryl hugged Elvis, weeping in distress.

Reid looked around vigilantly, and said softly to the phone: "Come back soon, Yun, the death notice has been issued."

..............................

"Are you sure, this sounds subjective." Hu Qi stopped writing and looked up at Gordon opposite.

"Yes, but the character traits of the survivors this time are particularly obvious." Gordon pasted the photos of the three survivors on the whiteboard one by one, and he took a pen and wrote the word 'greedy' under Oliver.

"He stole William's watch. None of the survivors we met before took such a directional action. To be precise, this is the first time we have personally contacted all the survivors." Gordon pointed at the whiteboard with the tip of his pen, thinking: "Six survivors, here we are... wait, seven?"

"What?" Hu Qi asked in surprise.

"There is one more survivor." Gordon turned his head and said in a deep voice: "Counting from the terror/attack, the first survivor is Milo, the second is Casper, the third is Oliver, and then Meryl, Ivy Adams, Julia and William. One more survivor, Hooch, and we now have seven survivors."

"But why?" Hooch stood up and went to the whiteboard, where he took Gordon's pen and wrote the names of all the survivors.

"We found one more?" Gordon frowned, his eyes fixed on the whiteboard, and his fingers tapped on the table unconsciously.He said softly, "Why?"

"We screened the survivors based on commonality, and finally identified the three people. Oliver, Julia and William, the three of them fully met the conditions of the target survivors, so I called all three of them over." Hu Qi explained Said: "Oliver is dead, and one of the remaining two people is not a survivor."

"Julia, William." Gordon read the names of the two, countless thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.

He wrote quickly in front of the whiteboard, musing: "No, not Hu Qi, they are all survivors. Jealousy...arrogant, can't be more obvious personality."

"But this criterion is too subjective." Hu Qi leaned over and said, "We don't know who selected the survivors, so we have no way of judging the thoughts and emotional tendencies of the selectors."

"Bold assumption, Hu Qi. Let's assume that the six survivors correspond to the seven demons. Now that Oliver corresponds to greed, let's investigate from this angle and try to find out the demons corresponding to Milo and Casper."
