Zhuge was cautious all his life, but Guan Yu was careless and lost Jingzhou.
It is still necessary to be more careful when facing unfamiliar people.
These days, there are countless people who have capsized in the sewers. The black coroner, who can go through the five parts of Death Comes, is probably a special NPC, and he is of a high level.
"taxi."
Standing by the street, Wu Ming stopped a yellow taxi, opened the door and got in.
"Sir, where are you going?"
"go..."
Wu Minggang wanted to answer, but found that he did not know where the black man in charge of the autopsy lived.
In the movie, wherever there are dead people, there is a black coroner. However, the specific position of the black coroner is never mentioned from beginning to end, not even his name.
"Here, if someone dies in a traffic accident, where will his body be parked?" Wu Ming didn't know the place and could only ask tentatively.
"If there is a traffic accident and the body is parked at St. Mary's Hospital, do you want to go there?"
The taxi driver glanced in the rearview mirror, and after seeing Wu Ming nodding, he stepped on the accelerator and drove towards St. Mary's Hospital.
The car was driving on the road, and the album of the acdc band, Highway to Hell, was playing on the CD in the car.
Hearing this familiar melody, Wu Ming frowned, instinctively disgusted.
"Didi..."
Accompanied by the loud sound of the whistle, a large truck pulling steel pipes drove out from the intersection ahead.
The large truck was traveling from east to north, occupying most of the lane when turning.
Looking from the back, I saw a truck full of steel pipes, swaying as they turned, as if the ropes would break at any time and be thrown off the truck.
"To be honest, I don't like these big guys. They take up too much space." Seeing the large trucks blocking the road, the taxi driver slowed down and complained to Wu Ming in a low voice.
Wu Ming looked ahead quietly, his eyes swept over the rope of the truck, and said coldly: "Slow down, keep a distance from this car, and don't get close to it."
"What?" Because the CD in the car was playing loudly, the taxi driver did not hear Wu Ming's words.
The next moment, the large truck straightened its body and officially drove onto the northbound highway.
And just when the taxi driver was a little distracted, the large truck in front of him suddenly braked.
"Crunch!"
The friction between the tires and the ground makes a harsh friction sound.
On the truck, the steel pipe fixed by the rope suddenly broke free from the restraint due to the inertia of the sudden braking.
All of a sudden, countless steel pipes as thick as wrists struck backwards like raindrops, targeting the taxi following behind.
"Fuck!" The moment danger approached, Wu Ming activated his phantom transfer and got out of the taxi.
The next second, just as he was standing on the roadside, he saw the unlucky taxi, which was shot like a hornet's nest.
Steel pipes more than four meters long pierced the weak iron sheet of the taxi and penetrated deeply into the compartment.
Among them, the driver sitting in front had his chest pierced by a steel pipe and was nailed to the driver's seat alive.
"Ding...Wu Ming, the reincarnation master, congratulations on escaping a death plan. Please keep up your efforts."
The reminder of the reincarnation watch appeared in Wu Ming's heart.
Wu Ming stood on the side of the road and looked around, his eyes filtering through the truck driver who got out of the car and the unlucky man who was crucified in the car, looking for any clues about death.
It's a pity that after watching for a while, there was no noticeable special phenomenon. Everything around was calm.
I used the aura technique to cover my eyes, and I could barely see some black fog shrouding the taxi that had been involved in the accident.
Apart from that, there was no valuable information that could allow him to discover more problems.
"Is this God of Death between the tangible and the intangible? Doesn't he need to show his face when designing death?" Withdrawing his gaze, Wu Ming unbuttoned his shirt and continued to move forward with doubts.
Along the way, I wonder if I escaped a design and the god of death went to find someone else again.
Wu Ming was safe and sound and arrived at St. Mary's Hospital without any accidents on the way.
"Sir, how can I help you?" There is a nurse on duty at the front desk of the hospital.
Wu Ming nodded slightly, walked up to the nurse, and said, "Yes, look into my eyes!"
"What?" The nurse instinctively raised her head and looked into Wu Ming's eyes.
The moment their eyes met, countless memories came one after another. Wu Ming felt it quietly, looking for his goal.
"Todd, the mysterious coroner, never communicates with others and has never started a family. He lives in the hospital for food and accommodation, and sometimes even sleeps in the morgue. He likes to talk to himself alone."
In the nurse's memory, there is very little information about black coroners, and much of it comes from hearsay.
Moreover, Todd's presence in St. Mary's Hospital is very low, and he is a very mysterious existence even to medical staff.
For example, the nurse controlled by Wu Ming has been working in the hospital for seven years.
But in her memory, Todd never took the initiative to say hello to her. Many times, Todd just stayed in the morgue, lonely like a housekeeper, rather than a member of St. Mary's Hospital.
"Todd, what is your identity? A messenger of death, an escapee from death's design, or an awakened movie character?" Wu Ming disconnected Legilimency and walked towards the morgue while thinking about the problem.
go.
As a municipal hospital, St. Mary's Hospital is large in scale and the style of the morgue is also very novel.
In the lawn area of the hospital, there is a church-like building, which is Todd's workplace, the morgue of St. Mary's Hospital.
Opening the door to the morgue, a cold breath hit my face.
Wu Ming put his hands behind his back and walked slowly inside. He found that there were no windows here, only rooms with closed doors.
Dr. Todd's office, archives, equipment room, morgue...
His fingers traced across the wall. Every time Wu Ming walked to a door, he reached out and pushed it open.
There was no figure of Todd in the four rooms, only three mutilated corpses were parked in the morgue.
"Middle-aged aunt, the boy who fell into the elevator, the unlucky guy who was hit by the chandelier!" Wu Ming opened the white cloth and found that the three deceased were all newcomers this time.
Next to it, there were two brand new labels hanging on the freezer where the corpse was stored.
Wu Ming stepped forward and opened the freezer with the new label, revealing two black body bags.
"Zi..." His fingers crossed, and a corner of the body bag was opened, revealing the head of the deceased.
Wu Ming tilted his head and looked at it for a while. The two corpses placed in the freezer were the student lovers. They seemed to have been dead for a long time.
"Reckless intruders are my most annoying guests, but you are an exception!" There was a conversation coming from behind, but there was no sound of footsteps.
Wu Ming stood still. Considering his strength, even if a cat walked by on tiptoes, it would not be able to blind him.
But now, if the other party hadn't spoken, Wu Ming wouldn't have known that there was someone standing behind him.
There were no footsteps, no breathing, not even a heartbeat.
Turning his head slightly, Wu Ming looked behind him, and what he saw was a man standing under the light, without even a shadow.
"Are you the God of Death?" Looking at the black coroner, Wu Ming said calmly.
"No, of course not." The black coroner was stunned for a moment, looked Wu Ming up and down for a while, and suddenly said: "I am a lonely ferryman on the River Styx. I am so happy to see you!"
It is said that in the world of the dead, there is a black river.
The soul after death comes here and needs to take the ferryman's boat to reach the paradise of the dead.
From a side perspective, the Ferryman can be regarded as a servant of Death, but I don’t know Todd’s identity or which Hades system he belongs to.
You know, among the legends of ferrymen, the most famous one is probably Charon in Greek mythology, who is known as the god of crossing the river Styx.
This Charon is the servant of Hades, the god of the underworld, and the most loyal guard. His status in the world of the dead is equivalent to the second level after Hades, the leader among the higher gods under the main god.
However, Todd doesn't look like a projection of a high-ranking god.
In the world of Death Comes, even extraordinary power does not exist. There is no reason for this unseen God of Death to be a boss like Hades.
"In Greek mythology, Hades is the main god. In the Eastern world, he must be at the level of the Golden Immortal. It seems that this Tod and the God of Death here should be relatively low-ranking, either a low-level god or a middle-level god.
Projection." Wu Ming thought for a moment and thought of the god of death from Todd.
Of course, such a view must be biased.
However, Wu Ming believes that the deviation will not be too big, because high-level gods cannot appear in such a low-level world.
"Do you know why I told you my identity?" Todd came from the door with a mysterious smile on his face.
Wu Ming himself was also very puzzled. Todd acted too straightforwardly and acted like an old friend. This was a bit unexpected.
"Why?"
"Because you brought something I like, can you give that to me?"
Todd gently pointed his finger downwards at the round pendant hanging on Wu Ming's neck.
This round pendant comes from the blessing of Hanubis, and the divine power stored in it can give the wearer a chance to resurrect.
Hearing that Todd's request was this, Wu Ming shook his head without thinking, "Unfortunately, I have no intention of giving it away."
"Really, but I like this thing very much, what do you think I should do?" Todd's eyes gradually showed greed, and the black suit on his body began to fade.
In the end, Todd's black suit turned into a shabby gray cloak, with black mist surrounding his body.
"I hate intruders, but you are an exception because you bring something I like."
Todd slowly stretched out his hand, with a ferocious expression on his face, and whispered: "Now, you should lower your head and give that to me." (To be continued.)
