Chapter 153 Death is coming
Where does the overwhelming resentment in the town come from? The root of it all lies in the high-level evil spirit hidden in the town.
At some point, this evil spirit began to spread its bizarre and wicked beliefs throughout the town, and gradually, almost everyone in the town became its devout believer.
Even more bizarrely, a unique and terrifying custom exists in the town—every so often, they carefully select a woman of outstanding beauty and give her a special mission: to go out and find love.
However, the boyfriends these women brought back to the town all fell into an inescapable nightmare.
Every time a woman brings her beloved boyfriend into the town, misfortune strikes, and these men, as if under a curse, never return.
The evil spirits, in an extremely cruel way, used the life energy of these innocent men to prolong the lives of the town's residents.
Those once vibrant lives thus became victims of a deal between evil spirits and believers.
Moreover, any tourist who happens to pass by will be drawn into this bloody conspiracy and become the town's prey if they stop for even a moment.
Over time, everyone in the town has extended their lives through this sinful means, greedily enjoying time that should not have belonged to them.
Ji Lin quietly reviewed the memories of this town, a surge of contempt and anger welling up within him.
He snorted coldly and muttered disdainfully, "Hmph, 'Escape from Deadly Town'? It won't exist anymore." Before he finished speaking, Ji Lin's figure flashed and flew into the air.
He gripped the Starry Sea Fan tightly in his hand, and with a gentle wave, a raging fire erupted in the sky, with countless burning fireballs falling like meteors.
With a deafening roar, a rain of fire relentlessly pounded down on the town.
Houses collapsed instantly, streets turned into a sea of fire, and the entire town was quickly razed to the ground in this raging inferno, with the sins and darkness of the past vanishing into thin air.
That night, Ji Lin was at home pondering whether he should go and have a long chat with Max or spend some romantic time with Rachel.
Just then, a deafening explosion suddenly rang out in the air.
Ji Lin's heart tightened and he instantly became alert. In the blink of an eye, he had already become invisible and arrived in the air, his sharp eyes scanning the surroundings to find the source of the explosion.
Not far away at the airport, a huge plane was plummeting from the sky like a burning meteor streaking across the heavens, eventually turning into a blazing fireball that crashed heavily to the ground.
The scene was terrifying, accompanied by a deafening roar and billowing smoke.
Ji Lin frowned and sprinted towards the airport at full speed.
A moment later, he arrived at the wreckage of the crashed plane.
A faint, malevolent aura wafted over him. Although it was very weak, Ji Lin immediately sensed with his keen perception that the aura had just dissipated, and the evil spirit must have just fled the scene.
However, Ji Lin did not have time to track down the evil spirit's whereabouts at that moment.
He turned around and focused his attention on the airport's boarding gate.
A large number of terrified people had already gathered there. Among the bustling crowd, Ji Lin spotted a group of young people who looked like students, surrounded by layers of people.
Not long after, a team of fully armed American police officers rushed to the scene and forcibly removed the group of young people without any mercy.
Seeing this, Ji Lin silently disappeared into the crowd and followed closely behind.
Following the police team, Ji Lin successfully entered the U.S. police station.
In an office, he found detailed information about these young people, and as he reviewed them one by one, a young man named Alex caught his attention.
In an instant, countless clues surged and converged in Ji Lin's mind like a tidal wave.
Airplanes, explosions, airports, and those students... isn't this combination exactly like the chilling scene from "Final Destination"?
Ji Lin frowned, his gaze fixed on the police station entrance, quietly waiting for the group of students to finish their interrogation.
Time ticked by, and finally, the interrogation ended.
Ji Lin followed Alex home without making a sound.
Upon entering Alex's room, Ji Lin's eyes turned cold, and he swiftly struck, knocking the unsuspecting Alex unconscious.
Then, he carefully placed Alex on the bed, making sure he wouldn't get hurt.
With everything ready, Ji Lin took a deep breath and began to circulate the powerful magic within his body.
He clasped his hands together, chanting incantations, and a dazzling golden light gradually condensed at his fingertips. With a soft shout, the light shot out like lightning, striking Alex, who was lying on the bed, with perfect accuracy.
In an instant, Alex's body was enveloped in a dazzling golden light, as if he were bathed in divine radiance.
The next moment, something strange happened—the golden light seemed to have a life of its own, and began to writhe and twist on Alex's body, slowly moving him towards the outside.
This is a subtle technique in Ji Lin's merit-based magic. In this way, one can trace the source of an evil spirit by using the residual aura on the body of someone who has come into contact with it.
Since Alex was one of the survivors of this disaster and had the most frequent contact with death, the mark of evil spirits on him was naturally the most intense and strong.
Although Ji Lin was familiar with the entire plot, this was the only way to pinpoint the exact location of the Grim Reaper.
Ji Lin glanced at Alex on the bed, then turned around and followed the golden light that was leading the way, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Before long, Ji Lin followed the golden light and arrived at a somewhat gloomy funeral home.
Ji Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, using his Heavenly Eye ability to stare at the seemingly ordinary funeral home that exuded a chilling aura.
The building was surrounded by thick, inky black mist, as if it were rising from the depths of hell.
"Hmm, looks like I've found the right place," Ji Lin muttered to himself, then walked straight toward the entrance of the funeral home.
However, the moment he stepped into the funeral home, a powerful and chilling black aura surged forth like a tide, quickly enveloping him completely.
Without a doubt, Ji Lin was now trapped in the eerie domain controlled by the evil spirit.
"Death is neither accidental nor coincidental, and there is no such thing as a wrongful death or a mistake."
"Everything is predestined. We humans are like tiny mice, at the mercy of that invisible cat, who can only manipulate and toy with us at will."
Accompanied by these eerie and terrifying words, a mysterious man wearing a black cloak and wielding a huge scythe slowly appeared in front of Ji Lin.
Faced with such a bizarre scene and provocative words, Ji Lin snorted coldly: "Stop playing tricks!"
Without hesitation, he mobilized his powerful magical energy, gathered it in his palm, and launched a fierce attack on the man.
Unfortunately, Ji Lin's seemingly sure-fire strike missed its mark. The man's figure vanished from his spot in an instant, only to reappear abruptly in another location a moment later.
"Damn it, these cursed domains are such a nuisance! But no worries, watch me break through them with brute force!"
Ji Lin roared, and a dazzling light emanated from his body. In the blink of an eye, a set of shimmering silver snow mastiff armor covered his body.
Wearing the Snow Mastiff Armor, Ji Lin exuded an imposing aura as he swung his iron fist and slammed it forward.
With a deafening crash, the once impenetrable evil spirit domain crumbled under the thunderous blow, disintegrating into countless fragments that vanished into the air…
