Chapter 27 The Line of Life and Death(1/2)
Yan Zheng, who was in a state of despair, did not notice the words on the road sign, and the ignorant Lantern Ghost did not understand what the words on the road sign meant.
However, the Lantern Ghost could smell something unusual. The yin energy in the car increased sharply, and negative auras such as resentment, unwillingness, and killing filled the car.
The lantern ghost was in pain as if it were stabbed by actual violent energy, as if countless steel needles were wrapped in the violent energy. Under the impact of the violent energy, the camouflage layer outside the body was weakening little by little, and there was a possibility of being exposed at any time.
The heavy rain continues outside the car.
The heavy rain at this time was even more wild, and the heavy rain whipped the car body mercilessly.
The taxi struggled to move forward in the rain, often skidding and tilting and shaking violently.
Thanks to the driver's superb skills, the vehicle has not rolled over yet, and the taxi has become a lonely boat in the ocean, teetering on the edge of the storm.
The speeding car suddenly stopped, there was a huge sound of falling into the water, and the water waves were two meters high.
The water waves hit the roof of the car heavily like ocean waves, making a muffled sound that made Yan Zheng's ears buzz.
The driver stepped on the accelerator frantically, and the engine roared loudly under overload operation, but the speed became slower and slower, and it seemed to have a tendency to sink.
It was dark outside the window, so dark that even the light from the car lights couldn't illuminate it.
After a period of rocking like a boat, the car body seemed to fall into cotton without causing any shock.
No matter how hard the driver stepped on the accelerator, the car could only spin in place.
The sound of squeaking tires made the darkness become turbid, and the car moved miraculously, moving forward bit by bit like squeezing toothpaste.
Water began to overflow from the cracks, like a newly opened spring jumping into the car singing a cheerful song.
Yan Zheng turned a blind eye to Wei'er and Wei'er muttered.
The driver turned a blind eye, looked ahead with a ferocious expression, and stepped on the accelerator frantically.
Suddenly, the car became lighter and broke away from its restraints and rushed into the water.
Due to the buoyancy, the car body briefly floated. The crazy turning wheels released the pent-up power, splashing a series of water bubbles and submerging the car body.
Bang!
There was a loud noise as the vehicle hit the boulder.
Under the strong force of inertia, Yan Zheng's head hit the front windshield heavily, and a spiderweb crack as big as a person's head instantly appeared on the glass. Under the pressure of the water, water droplets seemed to fall on the edge of the crack.
At this time, the water in the car was almost up to his chest.
The driver turned on the car's interior lights. Under the turbid water, the lights in the car were a little suppressed.
In the dim light, the driver had long lost his human appearance. His whole body was swollen and fat, like a soaked bun.
His mouth, nose, and facial features were all clogged with mud. The mud was about to flow out but stubbornly hung on it, making him look very uncomfortable. He wanted to step forward and help him take it out.
The driver raised his swollen, mallet-like hand and put it into his mouth. His fingers were too thick and his mouth was too small. The driver clumsily used two fingers to take out most of the mud in his mouth.
The driver was unable to do anything about the remaining mud because his fingers were not flexible, so he asked Yan Zheng in a vague voice: "Can you help me? I feel so uncomfortable with the mud..."
Yan Zheng turned his head dully and kept muttering about Wei'er.
In the electric light and flint, the black outer film on the lantern ghost disappeared to reveal the red body of the lamp. There was a shrunken Cao Haidong pattern behind the lantern ghost.
The pattern came to life and opened its mouth to drink: "Boss!"
The word "boss" was like an enlightenment from Huang Lu's Dazhong, awakening Yan Zheng, whose consciousness had been drifting in obsession.
Yan Zheng's pupils shrank sharply after he regained consciousness, and what a terrifying face he saw in front of him.
The skin that was full of moisture became white and translucent, and the water under the skin could be vaguely seen. The facial features were squeezed out of shape, like a bun that had been punched and kneaded again. Except for the raised folds, it was almost invisible.
Less than five senses.
There are many places on this head-like ball where the cells have burst the skin because they cannot bear the water.
The cracked skin revealed the white flesh that had been soaked for a long time.
Just as Yan Zheng was about to scream, a large mouthful of muddy water with an earthy taste poured into his mouth.
"Ah~" The sound he was about to make was turned into a painful scream that was too late to be uttered by the water.
Gu~gu~gu~ Thinking of the driver's body being soaked in the water and looking at the white meat scraps floating in front of his eyes, Yan Zheng felt nauseated and his stomach instinctively spasmed.
The water he had just poured in was spat out with convulsions, but then he choked back more water.
My throat and esophagus were sore and burning, as if they had been plowed.
What's even more fatal is that the water has already reached the roof of the car, and Yan Zheng doesn't even have the last place to breathe.
Drowning, suffocation, pain.
The pain of dying was slowly approaching, and Yan Zheng was like a drowning moth struggling to death.
The driver smiled grimly. The water had no effect on him. It even made a strange sound that reached Yan Zheng's ears: "I knew you had a problem a long time ago. A ghost, a remnant soul wants to deal with me?!"
Red liquid began to overflow from the driver's body. The bright red viscous liquid flowed out from the cracked wound. It was as thick as paint without a trace of blood escaping into the water. The magma-like blood flowed tightly against the driver's body, which was unreasonable.
The driver was wrapped in a red dumpling from head to toe.
At this time, the driver is more like a red fruit covered in syrup.
The body is crawling with life, this is a familiar scene.
It’s bloody violence!
A more complete bloody violence than Cao Haidong!
It is like thick and condensed blood with substantial violence. This is a bloody beast that has killed many creatures, otherwise the blood would not be so thick.
Yan Zheng's dilated pupils were full of despair. This was not the first time he faced death head-on. Compared to Cao Haidong's fantasy, the taxi driver's approach was more direct, rough and oppressive.
This is beyond the scope of ghost magic, this is naked murder.
The driver smiled and admired Yan Zheng's face, which was distorted due to lack of oxygen. In his eyes, this face distorted by pain and despair was the most beautiful sight. It would be even better if it could be accompanied by a few screams.
Yan Zheng struggled in the water, pushed the door open, and knocked on the cracked glass.
"It's useless~ This car is one with me. I can't destroy the car. It can't be broken. Slowly enjoy the feeling of drowning. This is such a second-by-second experience. Feel with your heart that the water slowly fills the alveoli and bursts your lungs.
The water flows into your body, fills the entire chest, and overflows all the cells. The feeling of being filled from top to bottom is really nostalgic. In the end, you will become like me. Ha~ha~ha!"
The driver laughed crazily, cruelly and full of resentment.
Yan Zheng looked directly into the driver's eyes, which were about to be engulfed by his face, and saw through the large gap that the driver's eyes were filled with resentment.
At the moment of death, Yan Zheng's thinking became particularly sharp, and time seemed to be stretched and everything was frozen.
Many once profound images flashed through Yan Zheng's mind, such as the library in the sunset, Li Mengwei's figure, the paths on campus, the execution record, and the decaying body that Cao Haidong once pulled into a hallucination.
Suddenly, Yan Zheng smiled, and the smile on his livid, twisted face looked even more terrifying than the driver's sinister smile.
The driver was confused and then suddenly realized and shouted excitedly: "A hallucination before death? Those beautiful scenes in life are so nostalgic. Cherish these beautiful moments, because what follows will be an endless abyss!"
Yan Zheng smiled and put his hand into his arms.
The second before he lost consciousness, Yan Zheng silently asked the company to intervene.
Employee Safety Code.
When Yan Zheng was recalling the beautiful scenes of life just now, he remembered the regulations in the employee safety code.
The company will not take the initiative to intervene in employees' tasks. Only when an employee encounters an irresistible accident, will it intervene to protect the employee's life. This kind of intervention is limited, but it is enough to save Yan Zheng's life from drowning.
Yan Zheng's initiative to call for the company's intervention was temporary. He did not dare to wait for the company's initiative to intervene after his death.
Regardless of the fact that the difference in company intervention time between life and death is less than one second, this time is of the essence.
Xue Rui around him looked at him with eager eyes. After his death, Yan Zheng was not sure what Xue Rui would do to his soul. At that time, it was still unclear whether the limited power of the company could withstand Xue Rui and pull him back.
He only has one life, and Yan Zheng doesn't dare to gamble.
Therefore, it is only safe to call the company to intervene before death and when the soul has not left the body.
The company should not say that the employee safety regulations did not disappoint Yan Zheng.
As Yan Zheng recited silently, the execution record instantly became hot, and the search program in the invisible pages ran rapidly.
Employee applies for intervention
Request to perform retrieval procedure by now
If employees do not meet the safety code intervention conditions
Employee judgment task failed
Now archive the employee’s current status
Employees are asked not to resist cooperating with the action
Yan Zheng felt energy flow out of the execution record and flow throughout his body.
Detecting employee’s near-death status
Comply with regulations
Detect surrounding environment
warn
