Let me live [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 168
— car accident.
The out-of-control car rushed up the curb and finally stopped completely after hitting a light pole head-on.The front of the car was twisted, the silver-white painted metal was folded toward the middle like aluminum foil, and the window glass was turned white by dense cracks.The airbag popped up during the collision, filling the now lifeless cab space.
There was a crooked mark on the ground, which traced the driving route of the car before it stopped—as if a soft crayon was pressed hard on the rough paper, and then dragged hard...
The marks were red, dark red against the concrete pavement and the gloomy sky.There are also dots of mottled droplets, falling on glass shards, and condensing together with dust.
At the end of the trail, the victim of the car accident is curled up sideways on the ground, in the insecure position of sleep.The fragile bones of human beings shattered under the impact and crushing, and the broken bones pierced the skin, growing out of the flesh and blood like white ice edges.The young deceased had his eyes closed, his face was torn apart by the blood flowing from his hair, so that he looked strange.
Does death come fast enough?Does even a momentary pain feel like it lasts forever?Only those who have experienced it know the answer, but they are no longer able to answer.He looked calm when he stopped breathing, as if he had just fallen asleep.
This is a still picture.While death is a foregone conclusion, the entire world around you comes to a standstill.The flow of traffic freezes, pedestrians freeze, and all sounds are silenced—time stops suddenly, like a script that has lost its main character hastily ended.
...Only he who descended into this scene out of thin air, as an outsider, became the only alien who could move freely.
He walked over.He stepped on the wet bloodstain on the ground, and every step since then seemed to stick to the road; he stepped on the edge of the blood pool that hadn't had time to spread before time stopped, and there was a creepy sound of liquid being squeezed under his feet.
He knelt down and held out his hand.
The body of the deceased still had a little residual warmth, and it was still soft.He wiped the blood off his face and wanted to hug him.He ran his fingers through wet black hair, and the head of his unknown lover rested limply against his chest.He felt a silent tearing pain, the hollow in his heart was calling for the urge to devour——
But this impulse never got the chance to be put into practice.The first second in the embrace was still a real touch, but the next second there was only nothingness left.
The world has become untouchable.The surrounding scene is rapidly fading, and finally melted into a white light.The person who was left alone opened his empty hands, raised his head, and saw the timeline of this world in the void.
The golden thread was unraveling from the stopped end, returning to countless filaments, collapsing and disappearing.That is the trajectory of time for all things. The coordinates of "now" begin to move toward "past", erasing the fact that has become a foregone conclusion——
Time reverses and the world restarts.
Failure no longer means the end, but to try again in another way.Only those who have accepted the "task" of God have the privilege and are allowed to remember everything in an unlimited number of reincarnations.
You don't even need to pay for the restart.Eliminate all wrong routes, and you will reach the perfect ending.Isn't such "compensation" the "luck" that people dream of?
——But death is inertial...
——Protect him and get enough time for him.The extra life can be turned into the power to repair the soul, make him wake up, and let you meet again.
The white light dissipated.The noise of traffic and pedestrians suddenly poured into my ears, breaking the previous deathly silence.He found that he was still on the same street, and his position had not changed, but the scene of the car accident and the blood on the side of the road were gone.
This thing, "at this moment" has not happened yet.
The color of the signal light changed, and the crowd at the intersection began to move forward.At the edge of the crowd, a young man who seemed to be distracted was staggered by the people who rushed past him, his steps slowed down a bit, and his eyes turned away from the road at the same time.
And he heard the roar from far and near.That familiar silver sports car was galloping from the other side of the road, facing the red light without any intention of slowing down, it rushed straight towards the pedestrians passing by at the intersection——
----
Yuan Xiaoxiao took the club information that he was going to discuss, and waited for the appointed time at the milk tea shop next to the school stadium, but the person who made the appointment did not come—Lu You, who was always very punctual, was unexpectedly late this time.
She bit the straw poked in the milk tea cup, and waited for half an hour while playing with her mobile phone, but she still couldn't wait for anyone to come, so she finally couldn't help but called Lu You.
As soon as it was dialed here, the familiar bell over there rang along with the wind chime at the door of the store.Yuan Xiaoxiao hastily cut off the call again, looked up at the door, and saw her friend, who usually looks meek in every situation, holding a coat in one hand and a backpack in the other, pushing the door open with his shoulders with difficulty , squeezed in.
It's rare to see Lu You in such a panic and haste, but Yuan Xiaoxiao couldn't utter the joke that he had prepared for this a long time ago. "...What happened?" She asked carefully, and subconsciously picked up the tissue on the table, only to find that it was used, and quickly went to the bag again.
The coat and backpack in Lu You's hand were soaked on one side, and the strap was broken, so he had to hold it in his hand.His clothes were covered with water stains, and there was a fresh scratch on the side of his face that was oozing blood.
Lu You threw the bag on the chair next to him, and as soon as he sat down, he took two sips of the lemonade that Yuan Xiaoxiao had ordered for him when he first arrived, and the ice was almost gone now, and finally recovered and took a breath.He took the disinfectant wipes from the girl and smiled wryly at her questioning eyes.
"Today is very unlucky." He said sincerely.
——Using "unlucky" can't accurately describe it, maybe a more appropriate term is "weird"?
Because the home is very close to the school, only a 10-[-]-minute walk away, Lu You usually goes to school as a day student, and basically does not live in the school dormitory.Today is Sunday, and he will only come to school if there is something to do in the club.
There is an intersection on the way, because the roads and signal lights are not well planned, and it is a busy area. It is congested and chaotic from morning to night, and accidents often occur.Lu You has encountered car rear-end collisions and drunk driving hits. Fortunately, he just watched on the few occasions and was not involved.
What happened today is quite special: when he was about to cross the road, the road collapsed...
The road suddenly sank, and a large pit with a diameter of four to five meters appeared. Water gushed out from the broken underground pipe, turning the intersection into a vast ocean in an instant.A valuable silver sports car was the first to bear the brunt and fell head-on into the pothole. It had driven too fast before, and its front end was completely twisted when it hit the edge of the pothole. The driver inside may be in danger.
Lu You was doused by the fountain-like groundwater, which was nothing, but the crowd around him who was frightened by the collapse suddenly became agitated, and some one pushed him hard while avoiding, and pushed him to the side of the green island. guardrail.
The guardrail didn't know when it broke down. An iron pipe running across it was missing, and there were a few thin rods of uneven lengths, with sharp tips pointing straight to the sky.If he hadn't forcibly tilted his body a bit when he fell, the price he paid would not have been as simple as a slight wound on the side of his face.
… At that time, it seemed that something had tugged him, which helped him avoid the blood spattering on the spot.
The reason for using "what" is because the touch felt a bit strange - it didn't look like someone reached out to grab and hold him, but his waist was tightly wrapped around his waist, which seemed to be some kind of long and flexible thing... ...?
It's just that when Lu You stood up in shock, there was no one behind him.After all, he couldn't confirm what helped him, or if it was just his imagination.
Passing cars stopped, and there were several small collisions.In the middle of the road, people surrounded the sinkhole and the car in the pit, yelling and trying to rescue them.Lu You's clothes and hair were dripping, and he stood blankly for a while, not daring to stay for too long, and hurriedly left from the chaos.
He thought he was just a little frightened, not injured, and didn't go back to change clothes, so he came directly to the appointment.On the road, someone was watering flowers on the balcony of a high-rise building next to him, and accidentally pushed the flowerpot down. The falling object fell from the sky and broke into pieces right in front of his toes.
As for the backpack... This is even more inexplicable.Lu You was going down the stairs at the time, trying to dry off the water stains on his body, only to feel a sudden light on his shoulders, and the contents of the bag fell out and scattered all over the floor - there was an extra hole in his backpack, and the edge Neat, looks like it was cut by a knife.
But there was no one around him then...
It's almost like a supernatural event.
Also, when entering the school gate, I was almost knocked down by a young couple who were busy flirting on a car, a tennis ball was thrown from a tricky angle when passing the stadium, and a pudding was almost stepped on the ground in front of the milk tea shop...
There were many dangers along the way, but there were no dangers. Lu You didn't know whether it was misfortune or luck.
He finished talking about these strange encounters on the road in one breath, wanted to take another sip of water, raised it to his mouth, and stopped suspiciously, looking at the seemingly normal lemon and ice cubes in the glass: There will be no problem, right? ...?
On the other side, Yuan Xiaoxiao heard that Lu You was just frightened, not that he had actually experienced something bad, and he relaxed a long time ago. Seeing him shaking the cup there, the table shook with laughter.
She managed to catch her breath, and pretending to be serious while holding back a smile, she said, "If you think about it, maybe you escaped a catastrophe of life and death today? As the price, you have to be unlucky for a while... I Do you have to pay attention to stay away from you, so as not to be implicated accidentally?"
Lu You waved at her as a sign of repelling, "Go, go..." After all, he didn't suffer much actual harm, so he was still in the mood for joking.
Yuan Xiaoxiao really moved the chair back a bit, laughed himself silly, and then pretended to comfort him: "Okay, don't worry too much—look, you've been sitting here for a few minutes, and the tables and chairs are empty. Bad, the ceiling didn’t collapse, and no one rushed in to rob, isn’t it normal? I think your bad luck is probably over.”
It's all just a joke.Lu You said "Thank you for the comfort", and tore off the package of the disinfectant wipes in his hand, preparing to deal with the scratches on his side face.
——At this moment, he suddenly felt chills all over his body, as if a malicious gaze was cast on him.
Lu You never knew before that being watched by others can really be like the exaggerated description in the novel: like being licked by a cold and sticky tongue.He turned his head suddenly, and through the glass of the milk tea shop, he saw some slender shadows passing by on the ground illuminated by the sun... It looked like a huge centipede was crawling over it...
...or is it just the shadow of a tree blown by the wind?
Lu You didn't notice anything unusual, so he turned his head hesitantly.Yuan Xiao on the other side of the table stopped smiling, and his eyes moved back and forth between him and the direction he was looking at just now, with a hint of real worry in it: "Are you really okay?"
"...The air conditioner in the store is a bit cold." Lu You paused for a while before saying.The relaxed atmosphere just now seemed to have disappeared.He raised his hand, pressed the wet wipe on the scratch, and then "hissed"—it was just a shallow wound, not much blood flowed, but it kept throbbing, as if he was stimulated by something.
The water gushing out of the underground pipe must not be very clean. Even if it is dried and dried, there is still a stagnant and sticky feeling that does not go away.But Lu You sniffed himself, and there was no smell, only a slight fishy smell, just like the water where fish were raised.
——Lu You has never been to the seaside, so he couldn't imagine that this is actually the touch of sea water.The summoned seawater ruptured the pipes, causing a landslide and prematurely crashing the car that would have claimed his life.
Yuan Xiaoxiao said casually just now, telling the truth: he did escape a catastrophe that could kill him.It's just...the so-called "unlucky" situations that followed were not trivial things that could be easily overcome as she said.
After cleaning the wound, Lu You put a Band-Aid on his face. After resting for a while, he remembered that he had something serious to talk about when he came to meet Yuan Xiaoxiao, so he went to look through the materials in his bag.
The things in the bag were dropped on the floor and picked up again. The order of the documents that had been sorted out before was messed up. Lu You was focusing on distinguishing, and felt Yuan Xiaoxiao's feet moved under the table, as if he had kicked him inadvertently. .
"Lu You," the girl said with her head down, staring intently at the cup in her hand, barely moving her lips, "There is a strange person looking at you outside."
Lu You rummaged through the bag for a moment, then quickly raised his head, only to see a group of boys who had just come out of the basketball court clasping their shoulders and clamoring out of the small gate on the sidelines, waiting outside the court The girl passed the water.Yuan Xiao smiled "ah", "... disappeared." She murmured.
Lu You felt that the wording was a bit weird, "Have you gone away?" He said not too concerned, because the discomfort of being watched before did not appear just now, "It just happened to be looking in this direction."
"I'm really looking at you." Yuan Xiaoxiao insisted, "It's a man in black, he doesn't look like he's from school. He's quite tall, he's quite... Anyway, it feels weird." She lowered her voice, "Hey, you haven't messed with anyone you shouldn't have recently, have you?"
"What is 'again'?" Lu You said speechlessly, "How many times have I told you that the guy who came to trouble you last time is a psychopath. I don't even know his girlfriend, but I just said it a few times during group work." In a word..."
Yuan Xiaoxiao made an inexplicable "tsk" sound and shook his head. "It's not just this time." She jokingly said, "How many times have I said that, that girl has been giving you all the time, it's because you have poor reception of signals..."
She drank the rest of the milk tea in one gulp, stood up, and motioned for Lu You to go together, "Let's stop talking here, go find Xiaokai and the others. If someone is really looking for trouble, let Xiaokai take him away like last time." Beat and run!"
Although Lu You felt that she was making a fuss over a molehill, she was quite cute, and she would have accepted this kind of concern at other times.Just hearing her mention Xiao Kai, thinking of that tall and burly junior who likes to walk around him like a puppy, for some reason, he felt a little awkward, so he hesitated.
Yuan Xiaoxiao didn't notice it, and took the initiative to help him carry the bag, and dragged him out.Lu You missed the best opportunity to resist and had to acquiesce in such a development.
Their club was recently engaged in a foreign language poetry translation competition, but he and Yuan Xiaoxiao were the only two people busy going around, and the other members got mixed up with the drama club for no reason. .
They walked along the boulevard to the auditorium where the drama club was located.The old auditorium and several nearby teaching buildings are being renovated, and there is a lot of construction waste piled up on the road.
Lu You still remembered his bad luck that he didn't know if it really disappeared, and carefully avoided any possible danger along the way.Just as he was about to bypass a small car piled with steel bars, the sound of swift wind suddenly came from his ears.
Before he could react, there was a tightness around his waist: a person who appeared from nowhere grabbed him and led him to avoid a few steps quickly, avoiding the flying object that fell in mid-air.
The out-of-control drone flew past Lu You and plunged into a pile of bricks not far away. The propeller shattered and the debris flew.The man with his arm around his waist stretched out his other hand, accurately blocking a piece of debris.
Lu You made a very low voice. I don't know if he was frightened or worried that the rescuer's hand would be scratched by debris.Fortunately, perhaps because he was already exhausted when he flew close, the fragments were easily swung away by the man without causing any scars on his hands.
The owner of the drone ran from a distance, his face turned pale with fright.Lu You froze for a while in the position of being hugged by someone, and couldn't help reaching out to push that arm, and finally let go of that arm by himself.He heaved a sigh of relief, waved away a little weird feeling in his heart, turned around and prepared to thank the man.
He met the man's eyes, and then... the words of thanks got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them.
The strange man was much taller than him, with black hair and eyes—this sounds like nonsense, but Lu You had never seen such deep and pure darkness before... as if it swallowed up the light...
Those eyes were like a bottomless abyss, staring intently at him.Whether it's the deep pupils that make people instinctively fear, or the expression that seems to be looking at something precious, in this very handsome man, but he has never seen it before...
Lu You couldn't say what he wanted to thank.He couldn't help taking a step back, feeling creepy.
Yuan Xiaoxiao rushed over from the side.She ignored the drone owner, who was apologizing vigorously, and didn't even say a word to the man who saved her friend very rudely.As if she was avoiding some kind of evil ghost, she dragged Lu You up and left.
The man in black didn't have time to speak.He stood where he was, watching the vigilant girl drag another person who was still a little dazed, and quickly ran away.The person he held in his arms for a short while never looked back until the figure disappeared at the corner of the road.
It's not what he cares most about.What he cared about was that they were so close just now, he looked into those eyes that were no different from his memory, but he didn't find any intimacy in them...even a smile...
A cold feeling emerged in his heart, extinguishing the joy of reunion that even witnessing death could not block.
He finally realized... Some of his predictions seemed to be different from reality.
The owner of the drone next to him picked up his treasure from the pile of bricks and stones, sighed for a while, and then came to apologize to him.He endured the endless buzzing for a while, and glanced over: the surroundings were suddenly quiet.
He stood under the shade of a tree for a while before his figure suddenly disappeared, leaving behind the exclamation of the innocent bystanders.He turned into an invisible shadow, and with the help of water vapor and wind, he quickly chased towards the place where the two left.
Regardless of other things... There was an aura in that place that made him feel very bad.
The out-of-control car rushed up the curb and finally stopped completely after hitting a light pole head-on.The front of the car was twisted, the silver-white painted metal was folded toward the middle like aluminum foil, and the window glass was turned white by dense cracks.The airbag popped up during the collision, filling the now lifeless cab space.

"Today is very unlucky." He said sincerely.

"I'm really looking at you." Yuan Xiaoxiao insisted, "It's a man in black, he doesn't look like he's from school. He's quite tall, he's quite... Anyway, it feels weird." She lowered her voice, "Hey, you haven't messed with anyone you shouldn't have recently, have you?"
"What is 'again'?" Lu You said speechlessly, "How many times have I told you that the guy who came to trouble you last time is a psychopath. I don't even know his girlfriend, but I just said it a few times during group work." In a word..."
Yuan Xiaoxiao made an inexplicable "tsk" sound and shook his head. "It's not just this time." She jokingly said, "How many times have I said that, that girl has been giving you all the time, it's because you have poor reception of signals..."
She drank the rest of the milk tea in one gulp, stood up, and motioned for Lu You to go together, "Let's stop talking here, go find Xiaokai and the others. If someone is really looking for trouble, let Xiaokai take him away like last time." Beat and run!"
Although Lu You felt that she was making a fuss over a molehill, she was quite cute, and she would have accepted this kind of concern at other times.Just hearing her mention Xiao Kai, thinking of that tall and burly junior who likes to walk around him like a puppy, for some reason, he felt a little awkward, so he hesitated.
Yuan Xiaoxiao didn't notice it, and took the initiative to help him carry the bag, and dragged him out.Lu You missed the best opportunity to resist and had to acquiesce in such a development.
Their club was recently engaged in a foreign language poetry translation competition, but he and Yuan Xiaoxiao were the only two people busy going around, and the other members got mixed up with the drama club for no reason. .
They walked along the boulevard to the auditorium where the drama club was located.The old auditorium and several nearby teaching buildings are being renovated, and there is a lot of construction waste piled up on the road.
Lu You still remembered his bad luck that he didn't know if it really disappeared, and carefully avoided any possible danger along the way.Just as he was about to bypass a small car piled with steel bars, the sound of swift wind suddenly came from his ears.
Before he could react, there was a tightness around his waist: a person who appeared from nowhere grabbed him and led him to avoid a few steps quickly, avoiding the flying object that fell in mid-air.
The out-of-control drone flew past Lu You and plunged into a pile of bricks not far away. The propeller shattered and the debris flew.The man with his arm around his waist stretched out his other hand, accurately blocking a piece of debris.
Lu You made a very low voice. I don't know if he was frightened or worried that the rescuer's hand would be scratched by debris.Fortunately, perhaps because he was already exhausted when he flew close, the fragments were easily swung away by the man without causing any scars on his hands.
The owner of the drone ran from a distance, his face turned pale with fright.Lu You froze for a while in the position of being hugged by someone, and couldn't help reaching out to push that arm, and finally let go of that arm by himself.He heaved a sigh of relief, waved away a little weird feeling in his heart, turned around and prepared to thank the man.
He met the man's eyes, and then... the words of thanks got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them.
The strange man was much taller than him, with black hair and eyes—this sounds like nonsense, but Lu You had never seen such deep and pure darkness before... as if it swallowed up the light...
Those eyes were like a bottomless abyss, staring intently at him.Whether it's the deep pupils that make people instinctively fear, or the expression that seems to be looking at something precious, in this very handsome man, but he has never seen it before...
Lu You couldn't say what he wanted to thank.He couldn't help taking a step back, feeling creepy.
Yuan Xiaoxiao rushed over from the side.She ignored the drone owner, who was apologizing vigorously, and didn't even say a word to the man who saved her friend very rudely.As if she was avoiding some kind of evil ghost, she dragged Lu You up and left.
The man in black didn't have time to speak.He stood where he was, watching the vigilant girl drag another person who was still a little dazed, and quickly ran away.The person he held in his arms for a short while never looked back until the figure disappeared at the corner of the road.
It's not what he cares most about.What he cared about was that they were so close just now, he looked into those eyes that were no different from his memory, but he didn't find any intimacy in them...even a smile...
A cold feeling emerged in his heart, extinguishing the joy of reunion that even witnessing death could not block.
He finally realized... Some of his predictions seemed to be different from reality.
The owner of the drone next to him picked up his treasure from the pile of bricks and stones, sighed for a while, and then came to apologize to him.He endured the endless buzzing for a while, and glanced over: the surroundings were suddenly quiet.
He stood under the shade of a tree for a while before his figure suddenly disappeared, leaving behind the exclamation of the innocent bystanders.He turned into an invisible shadow, and with the help of water vapor and wind, he quickly chased towards the place where the two left.
Regardless of other things... There was an aura in that place that made him feel very bad.
