When Alex arrived at Todd's house, he saw red and blue lights flashing in front of Todd's house. A police car and a car labeled "Black Van" were parked in front of Todd's house. Thud, thud.
Alex threw his bicycle to the side of the road and ran to Todd's house in a panic.
"What happened? Where's Todd? "Alex asked the two staff members who were holding a toolbox.
The two men glanced at Alex indifferently and ignored him. They took their tools and got into the car.
Alex felt even more uneasy. He looked up and saw Wenner and Cyric, who he had met at the airport. Behind him, a voice called out to him. It was one of his classmates, Claire. She was hiding behind a tree, and she was anxiously mouthing for him to run away. Alex's heart was filled with unease.
Alex was confused. He looked in the direction of Todd's house and saw a cart covered with a black cloth being pushed out from the door. Todd's parents supported each other as they walked by the side. Both of their faces were filled with grief.
At this moment, no matter how stupid Alex was, he knew what had happened. He stared blankly at the figure covered by the black cloth on the cart.
Todd's father looked at Alex and walked toward him with a sorrowful face. He said angrily, "Can't you see it coming?"
"What?" Alex was at a loss when Todd's father asked with tears on his face. He didn't know why he would ask such a question.
"Todd got off the plane, but his brother didn't … You made him feel guilty, so he killed himself!" Todd's father looked at Alex with grief and indignation.
"No …" Alex shook his head in disbelief when he saw Todd being tied up by the staff. He looked at Todd's father and said, "Listen, he couldn't have killed himself. If he wanted to kill himself, why would he ask me to go out with you when you're feeling better?"
Alex clearly remembered that when he and Todd went to the hotel with the others to meet the Huaxia man, Todd was still very relaxed when talking to Alex. He even asked him to go out with him to relax. Todd had always been optimistic and didn't seem like someone who would commit suicide.
Todd's father was obviously in disbelief when he heard Alex's words. She glared at Alex with resentment as she turned around and walked back.
"Mr. Wagner, Mr. Wagner …" Looking at Todd's father's resentful eyes, Alex wanted to explain that it was all the Grim Reaper's doing, but then he remembered the look in Todd's father's eyes when he left. Alex could only watch as Todd's parents left.
Watching Todd's parents crying bitterly as they returned home, Alex's heart was filled with bitterness. He turned to look at the F * ck members who were observing him from afar, and then at Claire who had disappeared behind the tree. After thinking for a moment, he pulled up his bicycle and rode toward the road behind the tree.
After riding along the road for a while, Alex saw Claire walking alone on the side of the road.
"Claire …" Alex stopped the car.
"Alex, why are you following me?" Claire, who was standing under the shadow of a tree, asked Alex.
"Why were you near Todd's house?" Alex got out of the car and walked in front of Claire.
"I watched a lot of TV reports and learned that the F * ck members went to Todd's house. Although they were there just now, they weren't there to investigate the suicide, but to investigate the plane explosion … "Claire's eyes flashed as she looked at Alex." It's strange enough that 16 people left the plane in advance, but one of them said that he had a special ability to predict the plane explosion. As a result, the plane exploded. What's even more strange is that there was also a person who claimed to be an Eastern exorcist. He said that all this was arranged by the Grim Reaper, and then one of the 16 people died tonight, and it was a suicide. What do you think the F * ck members will think? "
Hearing Claire's words. Alex felt that she had not had enough.
"Why did you come to Todd's house tonight? Do you believe the Eastern man's words that all this was arranged by the Grim Reaper? "Alex asked again.
Claire took a step forward and walked under the street light. Her bright eyes carefully looked at Alex until he turned his eyes away. Claire then said, "In the fourth year of middle school, we didn't even talk half a sentence. On the plane, you had a premonition of danger, and so did I. Only when you panicked did I realize what the danger was. You can encounter danger, but I can't. I can only predict danger. It wasn't until I heard the Eastern man's words that I realized the reason why you can predict danger is because you are the psychic chosen by the Grim Reaper. But I'm not, I just rely on my intuition. Alex, you're a psychic. You can feel that, just like what the Eastern man said, the danger hasn't disappeared, right? "
"I don't know, I don't know either!" Alex shook his head and turned to look at Claire again. "I don't know if it's because of the Eastern man's influence, but I always feel a strange feeling."
"Strange feeling?" Claire was puzzled.
"I always feel like we're under surveillance. Maybe it's really the Grim Reaper that the Eastern man mentioned. He's always controlling us and toying with us. Just like just now, I know that Todd is in danger, but I can't do anything. I can only watch helplessly as Todd dies. I can only feel the fear of being alone. Maybe we'll end up like Todd, unable to escape death. "Alex's eyes were filled with fear, panic, and confusion.
"It seems like we need the Eastern man. From the conversation we had at the hotel the day before yesterday, he should know more about the Grim Reaper." Claire looked at a moth flying in front of her.
"But he's already been arrested by the police!" Alex said.
"Compared to the Grim Reaper, the living are easier to deal with, aren't they?" Claire looked at Alex and suddenly laughed.
A day later, Claire and Alex came to all of the detention centers in Ye Xuan. After seeing that even the prison guards seemed to respect the Eastern man, Claire and Alex looked at each other in surprise. "It seems like you're doing well here!"
"It's alright!" Ye Xuan shrugged and smiled. "At least it's safer here than outside, isn't it?"
"You … How do you know?" Claire and Alex were shocked when they heard that Ye Xuan seemed to know what happened outside.
"If the Grim Reaper didn't make his move, would you come to me?" Ye Xuan looked at the two and sneered.
"Yes, the Grim Reaper did make his move. Yesterday, Todd died. Since you already know, please tell us what you know so that more people can be saved. "Claire looked at Ye Xuan.
According to Claire's analysis, since the Eastern man named Ye Xuan was so enthusiastic about organizing people to fight against the Grim Reaper, he must not want more people to die. Therefore, Ye Xuan would not refuse her request.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Claire's words, Ye Xuan sneered, "I don't know!"
What a joke. I wanted to save them out of kindness, but they didn't appreciate it. Now they're saying that they want more people to be saved. When I was arrested by the police for fraud, what were they doing? Do they really think I don't have a temper?
