Chapter 134 Death dislikes being deceived
“Mr. Morton, I was very curious after hearing from Sam that you escaped from the clutches of death. I originally came here specifically to see you, but I didn’t expect that Alex’s body was also here with you. What a coincidence!”
At this point, Li Qing's face showed a surprised expression.
However, anyone could see how deliberate and unnatural that expression was.
“Billy went home after parting ways with us last night, but who could have imagined that he would suffer such a tragic loss at home! It is truly heartbreaking! I wonder what Mr. Morton’s thoughts are on this sudden accident?”
Since you like to pretend, I'll play along with you for a bit longer!
The black Grim Reaper also cooperated with Li Qing's performance, the two singing in harmony.
"Mr. Li Qing, I am saddened by the passing of your friend, but there is one point I must correct..."
"Death is never unexpected!"
"Billy's death was not an accident; he was targeted by Death!"
"Death has no coincidences, no accidents, and there is no escaping it!"
"You must understand that we are all mice caught by the tail by a cat. Every action we take, whether insignificant or crucial!"
"Stopping or running a red light, having sex or not having sex with our partners, getting on or off a plane—it's all part of Death's plan to torment us, leading us step by step toward our graves!"
"The most important point!"
"Death doesn't like being deceived!"
At this point, the Black Reaper, who had been relatively relaxed, suddenly changed his expression and became serious.
Hmph, who are you trying to scare!
Li Qing wouldn't be intimidated by his words.
"I disagree with Mr. Morton's statement. There's a saying in China that goes..."
"I control my own life!"
"A person's fate should be in their own hands. Even death has no right to interfere with the fate of others. A person's fate is not under the jurisdiction of death."
"However, I do agree with Mr. Morton's view that Billy was killed by death."
"I have achieved my purpose here, so I will not stay here any longer and will not disturb Mr. Morton's work any further."
After saying that, Li Qing turned around and prepared to leave the morgue.
"Sam, we're leaving."
"Yes, Mr. Li Qing."
Sam glanced at the black Grim Reaper and prepared to leave as well. Seeing Alex and the others still in a daze, he quickly reminded them to follow.
Sam also realized that something was wrong with the black coroner, and coupled with the eerie atmosphere of the church, a guess formed in Sam's mind.
“Hmm... Claire, let’s go,” Alex said.
"Yes, let's go, it's really cold here," Terry whispered, then hurriedly ran towards Li Qing.
She didn't want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a quarter of an hour longer.
......
The group felt much better after leaving the church; the gloom and oppressive atmosphere inside had completely disappeared.
Sam strode over to Li Qing and asked, "Mr. Li Qing, what's so special about this coroner that he had to come here in person?"
"Just because he's Death!"
Li Qing stopped and turned to look at the eerie and terrifying church.
"grim Reaper?!"
Alex and the others suddenly stopped, their faces showing expressions of horror.
"Death is a human? And a Black man at that?"
Todd stood there, stunned, his mind filled with doubt.
They naturally believed what Li Qing said, recalling that the dark-skinned, seemingly ordinary coroner they had just seen was actually the legendary Grim Reaper!
It was unbelievable, but I had to accept this shocking fact. The thought of being so close to death sent a chill down my spine, made my hair stand on end, and made my legs feel weak.
That was probably the closest they'd ever come to death.
......
On the way back to the hotel, Li Qing sat in Carter's car. He was in the passenger seat, while Carter's girlfriend, Terry, and teacher Layton sat in the back seat.
Following behind the Caterpillar was a red car driven by Sam, with Molly and others inside.
Looking at the scenery rushing past the window, Li Qing couldn't help but estimate the strength of that black Grim Reaper.
Judging from the aura emanating from the black Grim Reaper, this Grim Reaper should at least have the strength of the late stage of Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness.
It's possible that he's hiding his true strength; it's not impossible that he possesses the power of a cultivator who has reached the Dao Refinement stage, after all, he is a god.
The reason he didn't directly attack Death in the church earlier was mainly because it wasn't the right time yet; his first world mission wasn't complete, and he wouldn't attack Death now.
If Li Qing were to fight Death, it would be a fight to the death, and Li Qing would have no chance to complete his mission.
......
A red delivery truck sped along the road like a ferocious beast charging forward.
Inside the car, a burly man with a full beard sat in the driver's seat, wearing headphones and completely absorbed in his favorite music.
With the upbeat rhythm, the bearded driver couldn't help but hum along, his body swaying involuntarily. He enjoyed the joy and passion the music brought him as he drove.
At this moment, his hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, but his fingers tapped lightly in sync with the melody from time to time.
He drove his truck past one car after another, until finally a red car appeared in front of him. Judging from the license plate, it was the car Sam was driving.
Suddenly, the bearded driver realized that the music in his headphones had changed.
"Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane..."
Departing in a jet, music composed by country folk singer John Denver.
On October 12, 1997, Denver died in a plane crash in the Gulf of California at the age of 53.
Alex had heard this music before he boarded Flight 180.
"Hmm...this song is good, but it's not my kind of song."
The bearded man looked ahead and saw that the red light on the traffic light was on, and the two cars in front of him had already stopped.
He slowed down and prepared to brake. Just as he stepped on the brake, a shadow crept into the driver's seat from under the car.
Before the bearded man could step on the brake, the shadow slammed into the accelerator, and the car's speed, which had already decreased, increased again.
The driver stepped on the brakes, but the car's speed increased instead of decreasing, which made him look terrified.
"What the hell happened? Brake failure? Why is it accelerating?!"
He was driving a truck, so he wouldn't be hurt if he crashed into the car in front of him.
When a master clashes with a novice, the outcome is clear at a glance.
The bearded driver frantically slammed on the brakes, but the vehicle showed no signs of slowing down. He then tried to turn the steering wheel to change direction, only to find that it was as if it were locked in place by an invisible force, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge it an inch.
All of these phenomena can only mean that Death is up to its old tricks again.
This is the second operation targeting Alex and others.
The bearded driver could only watch helplessly as the truck accelerated and crashed straight into Sam's car.
