Chapter 1 Endgame(1/2)
Chapter 1 Ending
Thick lead-gray clouds are boundless, covering the entire sky within sight, seeming to be slowly pressing down, making the world become darker and darker.
He sat on the edge of the rooftop, raised his right hand, and took advantage of the thin skylight to carefully examine the wound on the back of his hand that was still bleeding with blood, his eyes a little complicated.
"Is this today?"
After a while, he put down his hand, closed his eyes slightly, raised his head and felt the slightly moist breeze blowing on his face, smelled the fresh air brought by the wind, and relieved the discomfort caused by the strong smell of blood behind him.
"Prophet……"
Suddenly, he heard a weak, deep female voice behind him.
He slowly turned his head and looked.
There was a bloody and horrifying scene on the rooftop, with corpses lying strewn about on the ground, almost all of them shot to death. Pools of blood and bullet holes could be seen everywhere.
Apparently a tragic gun battle just broke out here.
Among the corpses, a pale-faced woman with short hair struggled to get up from a pool of blood.
The originally exquisite and expensive white suit on her body was almost completely stained red with blood, and the wounds on her chest and abdomen were still oozing blood.
But the short-haired woman still stood up tremblingly, knelt on the ground, raised the gun with both hands, and pointed the muzzle at him.
On the blood-stained rooftop, he was the only one sitting neatly on the edge of the rooftop, incompatible with the scarlet.
He stared at the seriously injured short-haired woman, with no sadness or joy on her face. She didn't seem to care about the dark muzzle of the gun, and just said: "You are still alive."
"Thank you for reminding me."
The short-haired woman held the gun and stared at him with her eyes filled with unspeakable shock.
After a long while, she said in a low voice: "I finally understand... No wonder you can still be so calm after being surrounded by us, with no way to escape and no support from the outside... No wonder you said that all of us will die under bullets
, it turns out that you have known for a long time that we are two groups and will die together..."
"No wonder they are so eager to kill you and want your body and brain..." Her face was full of disbelief, "It turns out that 'Prophet' is more than just a nickname. You...you can actually predict the future?
"
He remained silent and did not answer.
The answers to some questions are already determined, and it doesn’t make sense whether you answer them or not.
"But..."
The short-haired woman took a deep breath, suddenly pressed the trigger with her fingertips, and sneered: "Prophet, should I say you are arrogant, or do you believe too much in your prediction? You actually revealed in advance that I would be killed by a bullet in the head.
In anticipation of death, I tried to put on a helmet, but it saved me..."
He still didn't speak, just looked at her quietly, but there was a hint of pity in his eyes.
The short-haired woman was a little frightened by his calm eyes, but she had a gun in her hand, while the man in front of her did not have any weapon in his hand, and he had no chance to take out or pick up a weapon, which gave her a little more confidence.
"The future you predicted has changed." She said in a cold voice, forcing herself to be calm: "Since I am still alive, you are the one who will die."
But he still sat there in silence and looked at her.
It seemed that he was waiting for his fate to come, but also seemed that he didn't want to talk to the dead.
"Before you die, don't you want to say something? For example, bribe me?" The short-haired woman's fingertips slowly tightened the trigger, "Or have you predicted that you will be shot by me in the future and gave up resistance?"
"well……"
He sighed and finally spoke.
"Correct your two mistakes." He said slowly: "First, I did 'see' the outcome of my death today, but it was not shot by you, but by electric shock."
"Electric shock?" The short-haired woman was stunned, and then sneered: "No wonder you suddenly lived in such a remote place where no one cares. The whole building is not allowed to have electricity, and even removed all the wires, living like a
Ancient people, it turns out that you are also afraid of death?"
She squeezed the trigger with her fingertip and began to exert force: "Don't worry, I will help you change the future. You will not die from electric shock, but from my gun..."
"Change the future?"
He smiled when he heard this. The sarcastic smile seemed to be laughing at her, but also seemed to be sarcastic to himself, "This is the second mistake... What I saw was not the future, but... destiny."
"Is there any difference?" The short-haired woman narrowed her eyes.
"Destiny cannot be changed. I just saw your 'end' in advance." He looked at the woman with pity.
"Yeah?"
Perhaps irritated by the pity in his eyes, the short-haired woman felt an unknown fire in her heart. Driven by an inexplicable sense of uneasiness, she sneered and pulled the trigger.
At this moment——
It seemed that it was due to excessive bleeding. She suddenly felt her vision go dark, and a strong sense of dizziness went straight to her scalp. Her already weak body shook a little, and the gun she aimed at the opponent was deflected.
"boom!"
After a gunshot, the bullet hit the cement wall at the edge of the rooftop. While a few sparks were splashed, the bullet also bounced away.
As soon as she regained consciousness, she felt a sharp pain in her forehead, as if she had been hit by a heavy hammer. Blood quickly flowed down from her forehead, blurring her vision.
"how do I……"
The short-haired woman managed to hold herself up, and raised her trembling hand to touch the wound on her forehead.
"Who... who shot?"
Then she reacted in an instant - after her shot hit the wall, the bullet rebounded and hit her own forehead!
"How is it possible..." The short-haired woman was trembling all over, looking at him almost blankly, and then fell weakly towards the ground.
Before she lost consciousness, she heard his sigh, and suddenly recalled the prediction he said in her mind——
'You'll get shot in the head and die.'
At this moment, she finally understood what he meant by 'destiny'.
Immediately, her consciousness fell into permanent darkness and she fell to the ground.
On the rooftop, it became completely quiet.
"This is your end, your life..."
He shook his head slightly, looking at the scene on the rooftop that was like Shura's purgatory, he couldn't help but feel increasingly sad.
This is completely consistent with the future he foresees.
"Including me, I can't escape..."
Closing his eyes, a small memory slowly emerged in his mind.
——His whole body was constantly twitching in the paralysis of electric current, and everything in front of him was becoming blurry. He seemed to have fallen to the ground, and he could only see his right hand that was close at hand, and the wound on the back of his hand was still oozing blood.
, in just a few seconds, the screen completely fell into darkness.
This is the memory he received a few days ago.
Therefore, when he found that his right hand was injured in the enemy attack and saw the same wound on the back of his hand, he understood——
He will die from electric shock soon.
After an accident a few years ago, he discovered that he often saw the death endings of others, and the future he foresaw could not be changed no matter what.
A friend's terminal illness, a colleague's bankruptcy, a family member's accident...
His life experience is like a movie. He accidentally turned to the last page of other people's scripts and saw the ending of these people in his life experience in advance, but he was unable to make any changes.
It's like an unbreakable destiny.
He called this ability "foreseeing the end."
A few days ago, he also foresaw his final outcome.
——Died from electric shock.
Although he knew that the outcome he foresaw was never wrong, no one would be willing to wait for death, so he tried to eliminate all threats of being electrocuted to see if he could escape this disaster.
However……
When he was attacked this time, he had already tried to change the future and informed the enemy of all the situations in advance, but the final result still did not escape the outcome he had foreseen.
"Is it really impossible to change..."
"Since the ending has already been decided, what's the point of letting me know in advance? Do you like giving me spoilers so much?"
He sighed and looked up at the dark sky that seemed to be about to be oppressed, feeling increasingly helpless in his heart.
Naturally, the sky above his head would not respond at all to the resentment in his heart.
"I don't believe it."
His eyes gradually became cold, "The circuits of the entire building have been removed, and there is no electricity within 500 meters. All potential threats that may cause electric current have been eliminated. Even if reinforcements arrive, I will not go downstairs and leave directly by helicopter."
, can you still electrocute me to death?"
He didn't know how he was electrocuted, but the enemy in this attack came up from downstairs. Maybe the enemy also had a power grid in the corridor?
He will avoid any possibility of threat.
To be continued...
