"You mean, it's my turn this time?" Seeing Ye Xuan's red pen brush across the seat he had made earlier, Layton's face was filled with despair and madness as he looked at Ye Xuan interrogatively.
Although everyone here had begun to accept the fact that they were being targeted by the Grim Reaper, no one could truly remain calm when it really happened to them.
"Master Layton, calm down. Please calm down. Although the Grim Reaper might be targeting you now, you might not necessarily die. You should remain calm at a time like this. We should work together. Only then can we defeat that bastard, the Grim Reaper." Alex stood beside Layton and tried to comfort him.
Seeing the agitated Layton, Ye Xuan immediately frowned, wondering if he should stab Layton with a knife. This guy had only just finished speaking and he was already stirring up trouble.
Just as Ye Xuan was about to make a move, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew in from the window.
"Hmm?" Seeing the curtains fluttering in the wind, Ye Xuan looked into the room with a solemn expression. Although he did not see the Grim Reaper, as the person who understood him the best, Ye Xuan could still sense the scent of the Grim Reaper in the wind.
"No, I don't believe it. I want to go home. You're all lunatics. There's no such thing as the Grim Reaper in this world!" Layton pushed Alex away and staggered out of the door.
Alex wanted to chase after him, but Ye Xuan suddenly pulled him back. "Don't chase after him. He's here!"
"He's here?" Alex did not react for a moment, but in the next moment, his eyes widened as he stared at Ye Xuan. "You mean, the Grim Reaper is here?"
The moment Alex said that, everyone in the room panicked. They all turned their heads to look around, trying to see where the Grim Reaper was.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed. Even if they could turn the room upside down, they would not be able to see where the Grim Reaper was.
"Stay in the room and don't move. I'll go take a look! " Ye Xuan did not pay any attention to the people around him. After saying that calmly, he strode out of the room.
The United States was vast and sparsely populated. The houses in the suburbs were generally single-family villas. In front of every house, there was a courtyard and avenue. Every family used a fence to separate the courtyard and avenue, and planted some flowers and plants in the courtyard, which was beautiful and fresh.
"Impossible, I don't believe it. How could there be a Grim Reaper in this world? I'm a teacher. I go to church every week to pray. That man is a liar. There's no way the Grim Reaper would find me. Todd and Terry's deaths were just a coincidence! " Layton walked out of the house, chanting loudly in a neurotic manner as he walked, completely ignoring the strange gazes of the people around him.
At this time, no one noticed that there was a dumpster next to it. A gust of wind blew past, and a plastic bag that hadn't been placed in the dumpster was blown into the air. The plastic bag, which could not withstand any force, was blown towards a young woman who was cutting weeds with a lawn mower. The wind suddenly increased, and the entire plastic bag was blown over the woman's head.
Suddenly, something covered her head and blocked her line of sight. The young woman was caught off guard and panicked. She quickly stretched out her hand to pull the plastic bag on her head, but in the process of pulling it off … But in the process, she swung the lawn mower in her hand horizontally to the side, and the high-speed rotating blade coincidentally cut a wooden leg of a small wooden table at the side. The wooden leg snapped, and the small wooden table tilted. There were a few nails and metal pieces that the young woman had wanted to use to stabilize the fence on the table. The nails slipped and fell directly into the blade wheel below.
Clang! Clang! — —
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! — —
Amidst the sounds of metal clashing, the nails and pieces of iron that fell into the blade wheel collided with the high-speed rotating blade wheel. They were like several bullets that were shot out of the barrel, bringing with them a sharp sound of breaking through the air. They shot in all directions, and one of them was aimed directly at the center of Layton's eyebrows.
Animals all had an intuition for impending danger, and as a primate, humans had even sharper instincts. When the nail shot over, Layton felt all the hairs on his body stand on end, and he felt a sharp pain in the center of his eyebrows, as if he was being pricked by needles.
However, no matter what, with her movements, it was impossible for her to dodge the nail that shot towards her like a bullet. At this moment, she only felt as if time had slowed down. She could only watch as the nail came closer and closer in her line of sight, becoming clearer and clearer. She could not do anything about it, and could only feel the approach of death in fear.
Just as Layton's pupils constricted and he sensed that the nail was only a meter away from his forehead, a cold snort suddenly sounded from the side. Then, a figure flashed before his eyes, and in the nick of time, he reached out with his thumb and index finger to firmly pinch the nail as if he was pinching a flower.
"Ugh … Wah …" Looking at the nail that was less than five centimeters away from his head, especially the cold gleam of the nail's tip under the sunlight, Layton was stunned at first, then he took two steps back and burst into tears.
But Ye Xuan couldn't be bothered with the crying Layton beside him for the moment, because he could sense that the aura of death around him had yet to subside. Ye Xuan believed in his intuition that the Grim Reaper must still be plotting something.
Everyone had their own curiosity, and when Ye Xuan had first walked out to chase after Layton, the people in the house had all looked out of curiosity through the windows and doors, wanting to know what was going on.
Just as the nail was flying towards Layton, a piece of metal from the other table also flew in the direction of the house. That piece of metal had become extremely sharp at high speed, and as it flew high into the air, it directly cut through the hanging wire of a ceramic lamp that was originally used for decoration hanging on the veranda outside the house.
With a swish, the hanging wire that was originally made of iron wire was directly cut by the piece of metal, and the ceramic lamp, which was the size of a human head and at least several kilograms in weight, fell from the roof. Its target was one of the people who had poked his head out of the house, the hot-tempered Carter.
Just as the ceramic lamp, which weighed several kilograms, was about to hit Carter, a glint flashed in Ye Xuan's eyes from dozens of meters away. Then, a rock the size of an infant's fist suddenly flew out from the yard, smashing towards the ceramic lamp above Carter's head at lightning speed.
With a bang, the ceramic lamp was directly smashed by the rock, but some of the fragments still smashed into Carter's head, causing a few small bumps on his head and making him suffer a little.
It was only then that Ye Xuan felt the aura of death around him gradually recede. The Grim Reaper had retreated once more, except this time, the Grim Reaper did not reveal himself at all.
"Looks like he's learned his lesson!" Ye Xuan looked around, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
