"Am I really dead?" Seeing himself lying motionless on the ground, Fan Zeng felt something stuck in his heart and found it hard to accept.
Lu Xu calmly answered: "Yes, you are dead. The cause of death is sudden cardiac death caused by overwork. I am your exclusive god of death. I will send you to the underworld. If you need it, I can also help you get a number in advance to queue up for reincarnation."
"Death god?" Not only Fan Zeng had this question in his mind, but even Ji Xiunian was dumbfounded.
Although Lu Xu loved to laugh, he was not the kind of person who would joke about everything.
In fact, he remembered very clearly that the door was closed after entering. If he were an ordinary person, Lu Xu would not appear in the room out of thin air.
"So, you are not a psychic?"
Ji Xiunian was depressed. He probably knew the answer. He didn't want to believe it but still wanted to hear Lu Xu's answer.
So, F4 had been chasing Lu Xu and calling him "Sir". They looked very respectful.
Normally, people would never address others in this way. But if Lu Xu was the god of death, then this matter would be explained.
And Lan Gaojie, the studio did not reveal any news of his death, but Lu Xu knew the time of his death very well.
If he was the god of death, this matter could be explained.
And before that, there was Lai Chengshan. Lu Xu saw through his tricks at a glance and helped him take away the money for borrowing his life.
If Lu Xu was the god of death, this matter would indeed be easy for him.
The past events came to his mind one after another, and Ji Xiunian suddenly realized that there were signs of everything. But at that time, how could he possibly think of death? He even thought that when Lu Xu saw a ghost, he took the rope used by the female ghost to hang herself from him.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Xu seemed to be acting, even pretending to be "afraid of ghosts".
Ji Xiunian always felt that Lu Xu was good to him, but how much of this concern was true and how much was false, Ji Xiunian was a little confused for a while.
"I'm not a psychic." Lu Xu didn't expect to meet Ji Xiunian here. It was a standard accident scene for him to meet his clients when collecting heads, but his mind was not on Ji Xiunian now.
Lu Xu turned to look at Fan Zeng and continued with his work: "Brother Fan, you are dead now. I will send you away after confirming the data is correct..."
It is naturally difficult for people to accept sudden death, but at this time, Lu Xu seemed to have a halo in Fan Zeng's eyes, and he walked towards him unconsciously.
"No!" There were too many emergencies today, but Ji Xiunian still didn't want Fan Zeng to die like this.
The moment he opened his mouth, Fan Zeng subconsciously looked back at him.
"Don't go over there, you will really die if you go." Ji Xiunian didn't say anything more, but continued the cardiopulmonary resuscitation in front.
It has been only two minutes since Fan Zeng's sudden death. Ji Xiunian's mind is full of golden rescue time. He pressed hard on Fan Zeng's precordial area, hoping that it would beat again.
"It's useless." Lu Xu's tone was calm but without any emotion, and it could even be said to be a little cold. "He's already dead. It's useless to do more now."
Ji Xiunian didn't listen, but gritted his teeth and continued to do CPR.
"Come back to life quickly, come back to life!" CPR itself is a project that consumes a lot of physical energy. In addition to being anxious, Ji Xiunian was actually very tired. He sweated a lot in just a moment.
Even so, he still refused to give up. He just pressed one by one, praying for a miracle to happen.
After pressing for three minutes, even Fan Zeng felt a little sad, and even wanted to tell Ji Xiunian to forget it.
However, Ji Xiunian couldn't hear anything now. All he could think about was "wake up, wake up." Lu Xu didn't want to see him wasting his energy, so he called Fan Zeng's name again: "Brother Fan, I'll let them take good care of you."
Fan Zeng looked at Ji Xiunian with a complicated expression, and slowly accepted the fact that he was dead.
Although he didn't want to, but the final result was that he died.
Fan Zeng couldn't help but think that Ji Xiunian and Lu Xu had reminded him long before the death happened.
Even at that time, his body secretly issued a warning, chest tightness, weakness, extreme fatigue...
If he had stopped to rest any day in the middle, maybe what happened today would not have happened.
But he didn't.
He always felt that sudden death was a low-probability event and it would not happen to him so coincidentally. He even thought more than once that he would spend time with his family after the recording of the program was finished.
But if something out of ten thousand happened to him, it was just a one-in-a-million chance.
It was useless to regret now. The Grim Reaper had come and announced his death. What else could he do to fight for?
Death was easier for the person concerned to accept, but it was a long-lasting injury to the living.
Ji Xiunian could not watch the person he cared about leave. He, who never cried, felt a sore nose and tears fell. Coincidentally, they fell on the jade pendant on his chest.
The jade pendant, which already had many cracks, broke into pieces in an instant, and a ball of light penetrated into Fan Zeng's body. Ji Xiunian had a feeling that he could be saved. Seeing Fan Zeng going to Lu Xu, he suddenly raised his voice: "Fan Zeng, come back!"
The accident happened in an instant.
Fan Zeng, who was about to confirm the information, was somehow pulled by an external force and didn't know how he got back to his body.
Lu Xu watched Fan Zeng's soul return to his body, and was stunned for a moment.
He had been in the business for so many years, but this was the first time he was robbed in front of someone.
Someone was brought back to life by him, which was the most intolerable thing for the god of death.
What concerned him even more was that Ji Xiunian was just a mortal, how could he have such a skill.
He glanced at the broken jade pendant, and then looked at Ji Xiunian at this time, only to find that his whole body had undergone a qualitative change.
The jade pendant was a talisman left to Ji Xiunian by his mother. Before, with the jade pendant pressing on his body, there was only a faint aura of death. But now that the jade pendant was broken, the death aura on Ji Xiunian's body seemed to suddenly burst out, enveloping him completely.
"You..."
The death aura was so strong that he could no longer be considered a living person, and was even heavier than a dead person.
Lu Xu looked at Ji Xiunian with a complicated expression. He had never expected the situation to be like this today.
Ji Xiunian himself was also not at peace.
I have always seen death in other people before, but I never thought that I would see it in myself.
Compared with the death lingering around him, both Lan Gaojie and Fan Zeng are just child's play.
Ji Xiunian laughed at himself, as if he had anticipated his own ending.
After seeing off his relatives and friends, is it finally his turn now?
He lowered his eyes to glance at Fan Zeng on the ground, and felt relieved when he saw his chest rise and fall slightly.
[Order delivery is abnormal, your order has been canceled.]
The sales that were about to be obtained just flew away, and Lu Xu himself was a little dumbfounded.
He looked at Ji Xiunian and suddenly said, "Stealing customers from the hands of the god of death, a typical way of courting death."
It was the first time that Ji Xiunian saw Lu Xu with such a serious tone.
Although he was a little angry that he had deceived him, he felt a little guilty when he thought about how he had affected his business.
"I snatched a life from you, can I give you my loss?" Ji Xiunian knew that he didn't have much time left when he saw the death aura on himself. Since Lu Xu cared so much about performance, he might as well give himself to him. Although he
came for Ji Xiunian's big order, when the "big order" took the initiative to hand himself over, Lu Xu felt strange. Just as he was
about to say something, there was a cloud of fog in the room, and when he came to his senses, he found that there was another person in it.
"Why are you here?"
Lu Xu knew Peng Hanfei, knew that he was a member of the Southwest Death God Department, and knew that he was the one who reported Xie An.
Peng Hanfei felt that he had snatched the order from the Southwest Death God Department, and the two of them were not used to each other.
But they didn't expect that he would appear here.
"I should be the one asking you this question."
Peng Hanfei looked around the room, then squinted at Lu Xu and asked, "Fan Zeng should be our Southwest order. Why did you cancel the order after accepting it?"
Ever since he had a direct argument with Lu Xu last time, Peng Hanfei had been holding back a grudge.
Since the previous things could not be taken into account, the performance in the future could not be pulled apart by him again.
After Fan Zeng's order popped up, Peng Hanfei's first reaction was to accept the order.
This was a new order from their Southwest District, not a historical relic nor a stowaway, so he should be the one to collect the heads.
But before he could click to accept the order, the system had already prompted Lu Xu to accept the order.
There couldn't be two Grim Reapers for one order. This order had nothing to do with him, but Peng Hanfei got angrier and angrier, and couldn't help but come over to argue with Lu Xu.
"This is our Southwest Region's order. You snatched it, and you failed to accept the order..." Peng Hanfei spoke with suspicion. He was already angry, and then he looked at Ji Xiunian standing next to him and blurted out, "Why, do you want to train another stowaway like this?" Stowaway?
"
What do you mean?" Facing the stranger who suddenly appeared, Ji Xiunian couldn't help but feel surprised. Listening to the conversation between the two, he vaguely understood that this person was also a Grim Reaper. He didn't expect the other party to point at him and call him a stowaway. Seeing that Lu Xu didn't react much, Ji Xiunian felt that there must be something he didn't know.
Lu Xu didn't expect Peng Hanfei to come, and he didn't expect him to talk about the smuggling in front of Ji Xiunian.
"That's enough. I will tell the minister about Fan Zeng myself. You can go now."
"Heh." Peng Hanfei ignored him and pointed at Fan Zeng on the ground and said, "I suspect that you created the stowaway out of selfishness, so I now ask you to come with me to see the minister for investigation."
"Wait!" Ji Xiunian didn't understand some of the words they said, but he knew that Fan Zeng's resurrection would cause trouble for Lu Xu. Without thinking, he said to Peng Hanfei, "I rescued the person. It has nothing to do with Lu Xu."
"Oh, a stowaway dares to challenge me?" Peng Hanfei said, and then thought of something.
Ji Xiunian is a big target that they are keeping an eye on. Now he has a strong aura of death. If he accepts this man, he can get back the ground he lost to Lu Xu.
With this idea in mind, Peng Hanfei suddenly nodded: "Okay. Since you said so, I will take you back for investigation." He glanced at Lu Xu and smiled with determination, "I will take the person away, you can take care of yourself."
Peng Hanfei was about to go to get Ji Xiunian's soul, but was stopped by Lu Xu.
The young man was like a haughty wolf, and said in a cold tone: "He is my man."
Peng Hanfei laughed: "What do you mean by your man? The organization has given you the task of investigating. You are just one of the people who came to investigate him, but it does not mean that he is on your list, okay?"
This was too much information, and Ji Xiunian felt a little confused. The more he sorted out the conversation between the two, the more depressed he felt.
He still remembered the first time they met, Lu Xu sat in the player's seat and looked at him, saying that he came to participate in the competition for him.
He also remembered that Lu Xu blocked Lai Chengshan's request for life and silently protected him.
He still remembered that in the deep sea of Devil's Bay, Lu Xu jumped into the deep sea to rescue him, and even kissed him...
The past scenes were repeated. Although they had known each other for a short time, the two of them had experienced so much without realizing it.
It was something that should have moved him. He thought it was love and cherishment. He thought Lu Xu treated him differently from others...
But now that person said that Lu Xu only regarded him as performance, a customer and an order.
Ji Xiunian was silent for a long time before he asked Lu Xu: "Is what he said true?"
