Chapter 17

“AHHH!” The woman had a bulging belly, and her legs were spread apart. Her hair was soaked with sticky sweat as she screamed and closed her eyes, arching her back in effort. The expression on her face turned slightly hideous because of the agony.

“Quickly, quickly! The pregnant woman is bleeding severely!!!” The group of doctors beside her wore green surgical gowns and panicked as chaos ensued.

Tears gushed from the corners of the woman’s eyes, and the pain in her abdomen was as intense as breaking a bone.

But no one noticed that there was actually a man in a black robe standing motionlessly next to the operating table. Only his chin was revealed, as the rest of his face was completely shrouded. Both of his eyes were hidden under a hat, giving him an air of unfathomable mystery. Around his neck, he had a necklace with a pendant in the shape of something similar to a sickle. Like a block of wood, he remained still.

No one went up to scold him, make him leave, or talk to him.

It was just like all the people couldn’t see him ...

He slowly raised his hand, black mist condensing around it.

“Doctor! I can’t do it! Save the little one! I beg you guys!! This is my dead husband’s only child!” The woman looked agitated as she panted heavily. Her voice was weak, and she seemed to have used all of her strength to say those words.

“The exit is barely contracting now. If you want to save the baby, you will most likely die from excessive blood loss. Do you know this?” The doctor appeared very stressed, but he was quick in thinking and did not stop his hand movements.

“I beg you guys!! Ah!” The woman’s lips were pale, and her voice was gradually fading. It was only when the pain was unbearable that she would shriek.

“Pregnant woman, you should stabilize your emotions first. The hospital has never had the mindset of choosing between keeping the big one or little one,” the doctor swiftly said. The cold sweat on his forehead continued to flow.

The mysterious man indifferently observed the scene of disorder in front of him.

But it was evident that the woman didn’t take the doctor’s advice to heart, and her expression collapsed.

The doctors worked hard to boost their morale. Time passed by in seconds and minutes, but the situation did not improve.

Gave birth! Gave birth!

The baby is out!

But the head doctor wasn’t happy for long before his hands started to quiver and his face fell.

The child had no signs of life as soon as he was born!

The doctor next to him exclaimed, “Not good, the pregnant woman fainted!”

Everyone started to work in a hurry again.

The man turned around, ready to leave. But for some reason, his eyes returned to the baby who had already died. He pondered, remaining in the same posture for a long time. Eventually, he looked away and disappeared.

Suddenly, a medical staff member responsible for assisting the doctors amazingly discovered that the baby had come back to life, and had even started to cry and kick.

“Ring, ring! Ring, ring!” The alarm clock placed beside the bed began to sound.

Xiao Chen sat up in bed, still muddleheaded. He reached out to turn off the alarm, and then casually ruffled his own hair.

Without knowing what he had thought of, he unconsciously unbuttoned the collar of his shirt. He dipped his head and examined his chest and collarbone.

There was a patch of blue and purple kiss marks.

Xiao Chen groaned internally, but only let out a grunt on the outside.

It must have been him again.

Xiao Chen glanced at the night stand. There was a note. He couldn’t help but pout when he read the text on it.

There was only one sentence: Don’t go out today.

Xiao Chen grit his teeth.

Originally, there was a club activity today, and he was going to go climb Tang Shan mountain with the others.

What, he was actually not allowed to go out?

He snorted coldly, a bit sulky. Planning to go outside, he went to change his clothes, rinse his mouth, and tidy up his appearance.

But the moment after he closed the door, a man emerged out of nowhere. This man was dressed entirely in black. He had black jeans and a black shirt, as well as a necklace with a sickle hanging from it.

He shook his head, sighing with a bit of helplessness and indulgence.

He just knew that this child wouldn’t listen.

Today, the sun was very fierce, enough to make people dizzy.

Xiao Chen frowned. He had felt that something was wrong the instant he got on the charter bus.

He was extremely sensitive to the outside world, especially when he encountered an event of death. He had a sixth sense, and it could even be said that he could foresee death.

When he was young, he would often experience being at the edge of death. But he was always able to escape its threat because of his observation skills and inexplicable sixth sense. At the age of 12, that man had appeared, and he never went through these things again.

The five-digit license plate number of this bus was 74666.

74 was a homonym for go die, and 666 in the New Testament meant the number of the beast, the Devil’s number.

This promptly gave Xiao Chen a bad hunch. As he recalled the note the man had left this morning, he only needed one second to hesitate before preparing to get off.

He believed in his premonition.

But before he could stand up, Liang Jing, who was previously sleeping next to him, abruptly opened his eyes. His face was full of fear and horror. Xiao Chen hadn’t even reacted before he heard the other yell, “Stop the bus, stop the bus! I’m not going anymore!!”

At this time, all the people on the bus were drowsy, and no one was talking. Liang Jing’s loud voice awakened a few of them in fright. Since he was sitting in the last row, everyone soon turned their heads to glare at him in irritation.

He was slightly trembling, but he didn’t care this much. He grabbed Xiao Chen’s hand and said, “Xiao Chen, trust me, we have to hurry and exit the bus!”

The guide also wrinkled his brow. His seat was in the first row, but he had still heard the noise. He headed towards the back, seemingly wanting to argue on something.

Liang Jing shook another close buddy, appearing exceedingly anxious and about to cry. “Let’s quickly go! A landslide will happen soon!”

There was an uproar, and everyone looked at him like he was mentally ill. Not to mention others, even Liang Jing’s girlfriend Wang Xing suspected that he had gone insane.

Xiao Chen immediately recovered. He realized something and also shouted, “We are going to get off! Let us go down!”

“They must be crazy! Where did these lunatics come from?”

“WTF! What sort of sh*tty words are those! D*mn it! My good mood this whole day has been ruined!!”

“Sickos! Driver! Quickly let them go!! They’re disturbing us!!”

After the six of them were kicked out by the guide and the tourists, they looked around the desolate mountain road. Wang Xing was angered to the point of laughing. “Liang Jing, what’s wrong with you? What’s the matter?”

Yang Meili, who wore a floral dress, was Wang Xing’s good friend. She peeked at Liang Jing with some resentment too.

Even if Liang Jing had a hundred mouths, he would be unable to retort. He nervously said, “Believe me, you guys, I saw it. In a short amount of time, the boulders at the top of the mountain will hit the bus, breaking it in half. Some of the people will be directly smashed to death, while others will fall off the cliff.”

Even the most honest Yuan Zhong couldn’t stand it any longer. He frowned, and was about to scold Liang Jing with a few sentences. But before he could speak, the entire group froze in place.

A huge stone hurtled down the mountain. Because the road was an uphill spiral and there were no trees, they could still see the rear of the bus that hadn’t traveled far.

They were thoroughly stunned. Just like what Liang Jing had said, the boulders rapidly fell, landing perfectly on the passing bus as if they had been prepared beforehand. They directly collided with the roof, causing the bus to instantly flip over and split into two. One of the halves precariously dangled over the cliff.

Without giving the survivors’ the opportunity to ease their worries, the bus that had already stopped at the edge actually tilted over uncontrollably. Even the person who had clung to the cliff and was about to climb up plunged downwards!

“Bam!” There was a loud noise.

All the people who saw this scene were frightened. After a period where they were all frozen in fear, they couldn’t hold back their questioning gazes towards Liang Jing.

Li Haibo was even more overwhelmed. He peered at Liang Jing and asked, “How, how could you know?”

In unison, everyone stared intensely at Liang Jing as if this was their first meeting with him. Their eyes carried terror and shock.

Only Xiao Chen could be counted as calm. He gazed expressionlessly in the direction of the bus.

He saw it!

The man in a black robe stood unmoving beside the bus and watched everything that happened around him. When all was settled, he steadily turned back and faced Xiao Chen. But Xiao Chen couldn’t discern the other person’s covered face.

However, in his heart, he already had an answer.

For a long time, the man had appeared out of thin air. Once more, he vanished the same way.

T/N: New arc, and the author has mentioned that the background of this world is borrowed from the horror franchise Final Destination. I’ve personally never watched any of the movies.
