die

The two watched the young man carefully dismantle the bomb.

After opening the shell, he turned on the flashlight on his head and carefully inspected the structure inside.

Zhang Deng couldn't see what he was doing, he just felt very dangerous and nervous, so he couldn't help but spit.Turning around to look, he found that Liu Bai had already held the iron chain in his hand, and couldn't help being a little startled and angry: "What is this, the man is not dead yet."

Liu Bai shook his head, as if seeing an ignorant child.

"Even if he will die later, don't be so impatient." Zhang Deng knew that he had a list, but he still couldn't help arguing.

"You're such an ideal fool." Liu Bai choked on him, "This time the bomb disposal must be gone forever. You'll know later."

Five minutes after Liu Bai finished speaking, Zhang Deng heard the young man scream in panic.He hurriedly turned his head and found that the young man took a step back in fright.

He seemed to have seen something terrible, and he let out several "clicking" sounds, but was speechless.

"Liu Bai, what's the situation?" Zhang Deng asked.

Liu Bai then told him: "He encountered an extraordinary detonator."

The young man over there carefully disassembled the detonator, and suddenly discovered the exquisite mechanism in it——

"What the hell is this!!"

Inside the detonator, there is a shiny warhead and a receiver connected to the information receiver.

The warhead is not an ordinary bullet warhead, but a sharp missile head as thick as a teenager's arm.

The young man recognized that once this kind of warhead is fired, it will become an extremely dangerous time bomb.It will definitely explode under violent impact, but if it is just held in the hand, there is also the possibility of explosion.

When it is dangerous, if it is only a small amplitude, it may detonate it.

The detonator itself is an extremely terrifying explosive.Regardless of how it was brought in, the perpetrators probably tried their best to make the explosion successful.

terrible.

So, what should we do?

The young man took a breather, first asked about the evacuation situation of the people, then stared at the warhead, hesitating for ten seconds.

There was fear and struggle on his face, and unknowingly tears flowed from his eyes.

He couldn't wipe his tears through the explosion-proof suit.So he closed his eyes, stood up and brought in a special explosion-proof box from the outside.Putting small-power explosives into the box can effectively reduce the explosion range.

He knelt down by the podium, opened the box, and turned to face the warhead whose wire he had removed.

The young man seemed to be thinking a lot, and even distorted his entire face.The hand he extended towards the bullet shook again and again, and he withdrew it many times.

"I don't want to die yet..."

"I don't want to die yet..."

The young man's face was full of tears, but his hand movements were calm and steady, like a child who was forced by his parents to practice the piano, and could hardly stop crying.

"I really don't want to die yet..."

He put the warhead in the box and put the lid on it.His tears were still streaming out, but he didn't stop moving - the young man stood up, picked up the box carefully and walked out.

He tried to keep moving at a constant speed, so that the frequency of his footsteps would not affect the bullets in the box.

The weeping young man successfully carried the warhead out of the conference room and was about to put it in a larger explosion-proof box, so he walked to the equipment group next to the elevator.

But just when Zhang Deng thought he was going to succeed, the warhead exploded in the explosion-proof box.

After all, the explosion-proof box is just a box, but the power of the warhead is terrifying.

Zhang Deng watched helplessly, and the young man who stepped into the corridor was immediately enveloped in a huge light and the sound of explosions.The impact knocked him three meters away, and when he got up, the young man had disappeared.

The corridor was filled with a very light, pink mist, and the gunpowder smoke and blood did not dissipate.Zhang Deng only felt nauseated for a while, as if he was ingesting human flesh through breathing.So he took a few steps back desperately, retreated into the room, and retreated to Liu Bai's side.

Liu Bai didn't speak, but moved his steps, stood closer to the door, walked to Zhang Deng, squatted down and patted his back.

"...Is this his end?"

Zhang Deng's shock was covered under the white cloth, but it leaked out from his words.

Just as Liu Bai was about to answer, he suddenly felt something bad in the air, so he immediately stood up and took out the jade wat and sealed it to form a barrier.

The next second, the bomb under the podium also exploded.

The power of the condensed bomb is dozens of times that of the warhead. Zhang Deng only felt that his ears and eyes were strongly impacted. He couldn't see or hear anything for a moment. In the glass jar, there is only a humming sound.

"..."

"...!...!"

"...!...Lamp! Light up!"

Not long after, Liu Bai's call called him back to the ruins.

To be precise, there are no ruins where they are.The two people were enveloped by a magical golden halo, floating above the floor.

After Zhang Deng took a closer look, he understood the power of the bomb.

Two-thirds of the eighteenth floor of the entire building was blown up.The seventeenth and nineteenth floors that go up and down vertically are also missing a large part. From the outside, the whole building looks like a big part has been bitten off by a beast.

※※※

All irrelevant personnel in this building should have been evacuated, and even if there was an explosion, it would not cause too many casualties.

Except for the one person just now.

Obviously just a little bit, obviously a little bit...

He was just a little bit close, but he was able to put the warhead in the explosion-proof box, and even if it exploded, he could at least survive.

But it is impossible after all.This is what Liu Bai called "fate", which is fate, which he must encounter in his life.

"Why did you show me these... Is it interesting to see people being played by fate?" Zhang Deng said to himself, not looking at Liu Bai, resisting the urge to cry.

The young man's sad face was still shaking in front of his eyes, but Liu Bai quickly took the young man's soul into his hands, and pulled the chain back to his side.

Patting Zhang Deng on the back, Liu Bai sighed.

Everyone will encounter tests at different times, some can be crushing, and some cannot be overcome.

"Death" is insurmountable. You can try to challenge it, but you cannot defeat it.

Just like when everyone is born, the upper limit of physical fitness is determined, unless TA becomes inhuman through metaphysics one day, otherwise he will die.

But who is immortal?No.Even the universe will die.

Breaking open the cruel truth in front of people and letting him accept it is undoubtedly pressing his face into feces and urine, which stinks and struggles desperately to breathe.

Dreams are very beautiful, but dreams are always dreams.Zhang Deng wiped his runny nose, raised his head and said to Liu Bai, "I don't blame you. I knew he would die, but I never thought it would be such a regrettable death. It would be too unfair to him." .”

Liu Bai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he was finally sensible.

However, this is not the most regrettable thing.

Before the two could communicate, another deafening explosion sounded from afar.Not just one place, but from all directions, on multiple floors, in shops, and deep underground.

The vibrations continued one after another, and Zhang Deng, who was shaking in the air, was unsteady on the ground. He accidentally fell out of Liu Bai's barrier, so frightened that the latter immediately made seals and led Zhang Deng back to the willow. Grasping the chain with one hand and Zhanliu with the other, he ascended to the height of the city, then took out Zhanliu from his arms, and lightly buckled it twice: "Zhang Deng? Are you okay?"

"I'm sure I'm fine. What's going on outside?" Zhang Deng asked him hastily with an excited tone.

Liu Bai looked down, but couldn't bear to say it.

"You still... don't come out and read."

"Is it bad?"

More than bad.

Liu Bai glanced down, only to see a sea of ​​flames in a radius of one thousand meters.Thick smoke billowed all around, there were many ruins and wreckage on the ground, and many injured people were fleeing in all directions.

"Yes." Liu Bai answered him.

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he saw the rising spirits.One by one, they were scattered over the city.

The ghost envoys who came from different directions didn't even have time to say hello, they had already started seducing souls according to the list.Liu Bai didn't let Zhang Deng show up again, but started collecting souls with all his heart.

Not all souls need to be escorted to the local area immediately. Only souls with deep blessings or good karma are eligible to be escorted first. It was directly put aside, waiting for this batch to be the first to register and start escorting before returning to collect the others.

The first batch of [-] people was assigned to escort, the second batch was halved, and the third batch only had dozens of people left.

In the end, the finishing work was left to Zhang Deng and Liu Bai.Zhang Deng silently huddled in the small black space, thinking in his heart, and didn't think it was a good thing.

When he arrived at the office, Liu Bai called Zhang Deng out again, and handed over the iron chain connecting the soul to him.

"Ghost messenger Liu Bai took away 65 souls. The ghost sent up lights and collected 48 souls." The little ghost who registered looked up at the heavy iron chain, reached for a stack of yellow paper, and began to scribble and write. The ultimatum of more than 100 people.

The female ghost standing in front of another registration officer couldn't help but turned her head and said in surprise: "As expected of Liu Bai, more than 100 people have been escorted here? Admire, admire."

Liu Bai nodded: "I don't dare to be. There are so many people on the indicators and lists."

The female ghost messenger was even more surprised: "Then you are all-in? I still missed three or two people."

Listening to their conversation, Zhang Deng felt very uncomfortable.

The 48 souls he "received" were actually given by Liu Bai.In fact, he didn't even receive a single soul.However, because of the blow he received was too great, he didn't realize that giving the chains meant giving him souls.Liu Bai really made him feel sorry for doing this. What reason does he have to accept the gift?

Does Zhang Deng like Liu Bai just because of him?But what did Liu Bai think of him?

※※※

Protecting him, making a knife for him, guiding him to atone for his sins, and admonishing him not to do what to do, even if Liu Bai didn't say anything, his pampering was beyond words.

The haze of death has not yet dissipated, and the troubles of love have surfaced again.Zhang Deng was at a loss for a while, and couldn't help holding Liu Bai's hand.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon. After handing over the work, the two had a meal nearby, returned to Liu Bai's home to rest, and resumed work after eight o'clock.

After Liu Bai closed the door, he felt Zhang Deng holding his hand behind him.He sighed silently in his heart, then turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Deng didn't answer, but squeezed his hand tightly, which even made him a little hurt.Liu Bai endured and led him into the living room.Liu Bai knew what Zhang Deng was wondering about, and he didn't want to hide it now, because his heart really hurt.

Liu Bai has been hurting him all along.But except for Liu Bai, the wind and cloud in this world, the vegetation and insects are all very good to him.Give him what he wants, provide him with what he wants to eat, even without saying a word, entrust him to be successful.

Only Liu Bai himself never followed his heart and fulfilled his wishes.Whether it is intentional or unintentional, they are always as stubborn as nine bulls, wanting to go, leaving.

But this time, his blessing may have come to an end, and he has no more chips in his hand, so fate showed its original face, without saying a word, and put away its good face coldly, no longer protecting him, and no longer Instead of giving him good things, he took everything that belonged to him from Zhang Deng's hand.

Zhang Deng, who was still in the dream, thought it was a matter of course, because he didn't want to make progress, because of his laziness.

So this time, Liu Bai's heart softened, he felt uncomfortable, and was gradually influenced by Zhang Deng's uprightness, and he still wanted to understand one thing during these times——
