At this moment, the three of them were sitting on a bench next to the artificial lake in Dafeng Park, each holding a bottle of mineral water.
None of the three looked good; Xia Qianran and Su Mu were pale.
Ling Yi is alright, if you don't count the Death Preview he saw during the Simulation Rescue.
I've already seen eight Death Preview and eight Simulation Rescue, especially those eight Death Preview, which were all incredibly Masai.
Moreover, Ling Yi discovered that whenever he felt uncomfortable, his right eye would emit a slight stream of cool energy.
Under this refreshing energy, you will instantly return to normal.
In addition, Ling Yi discovered that his memory was now exceptionally good; he could recall every Death Preview he had ever seen and every detail of the Simulation Rescue process.
Ling Yi could remember everything clearly.
The reason why my face doesn't look good now is mainly because of Xia Qianran and Su Mu.
"You should be able to save him, why didn't you?" Xia Qianran took a deep breath and stared at Ling Yi as she asked.
"I'm not a saint, I won't save someone who's asking for trouble!" Ling Yi said, shaking his head.
"What do you mean?" Su Mu asked after taking a sip of mineral water.
"I saved him, but three days later, he still died, again from crossing the road, and his death was even more Masai, not even a complete body."
The young man who jumped over the hurdle had also passed by the Dihao Hotel before, and the number above his head was also "0"!
This is Ling Yi's fifth Simulation Rescue target.
Ling Yi used the pretext of borrowing a light to stop him for about ten seconds, which successfully saved him.
However, the number above his head didn't disappear; it just changed from 0 to 3!
Three nights later, following Death Preview, he was found drunk and crossing the road recklessly.
As a result, it was crushed into flat parts by a dump truck; truly, it died without a complete corpse.
"Are you just asking for trouble and not going to help?" Xia Qianran murmured.
"Yes, I will try to save everyone I see, but some people are worth saving and some are not, so I won't save them." Ling Yi nodded.
"So many people die in this world every day; I can only save what I see and what I know."
Neither Xia Qianran nor Su Mu are saints.
I witnessed two deaths today: the round-faced girl this morning, and the young man who climbed over the fence just now.
And they were all heavily Masai, so my feelings were a bit complicated and unsettled.
No one can remain calm when facing death.
Even if they manage to remain calm, it's mostly an act.
"Then, how will I die?" Xia Qianran asked, looking at the lake in front of her.
No matter how hard Xia Qianran tried to remain calm, her trembling voice betrayed her nervous state of mind.
Ling Yi didn't speak, but instead took out his phone again and set a countdown.
This countdown wasn't long, only 3 minutes and 22 seconds!
But whether it was Xia Qianran or Su Mu, seeing this countdown would give them a chill down their spines.
"I'll die in 3 minutes and 22 seconds?" Xia Qianran asked.
"From the moment you followed me out of the Dihao Hotel, or rather, from the moment you began to believe in me, you will not die."
"Phew!" Xia Qianran breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Ling Yi's words.
"Then what is this countdown?"
Ling Yi didn't speak, but stood up and walked to the edge of the artificial lake.
Here is a man-made wooden platform with the lake right beneath your feet, but there are no guardrails on the platform.
If you're not careful, you could easily fall.
Xia Qianran and Su Mu also followed curiously and stood beside Ling Yi.
"Will someone fall into the water?" Xia Qianran asked.
"Not anymore!" Ling Yi turned to look at the stone path to the east.
A little girl, about five or six years old, wearing a white dress, was skipping and hopping this way.
A young couple followed not far behind her.
The couple held hands, their faces beaming with smiles, looking very happy and content.
The little girl ran up behind Ling Yi Ling Yi the others, looked at them for a few seconds, and then turned and ran in another direction.
The red number "0" that was originally above the little girl's head flashed twice and then disappeared.
Just then, the countdown on Ling Yi's phone ended.
Ling Yi felt a familiar burning sensation in his left eye.
But the burning sensation disappeared in just a moment.
Upon witnessing someone's death, the right eye becomes stronger.
Saving a life resulted in improved left eye function.
This little girl was the first person Ling Yi had ever truly saved.
"Let's go, there's one last place." Ling Yi smiled slightly and turned to walk towards the stone path.
At the same time, another countdown was set for the phone.
This time the countdown is 25 minutes and 49 seconds, which is a little longer.
Xia Qianran and Su Mu exchanged a glance and were about to follow Ling Yi when they heard a loud rushing sound of water beneath their feet.
The two looked down through the gaps in the wooden platform and discovered that the water exchange point for the artificial lake was located right below the platform. They instantly understood what was happening.
After catching up with Ling Yi, Su Mu asked, "Would this little girl die if we weren't here?"
"Yes, the girl will accidentally fall into the lake at the very last moment of the countdown," Ling Yi said as they walked.
"Under normal circumstances, the little girl should be fine, but this happens to be the water exchange point for the artificial lake, and it just so happens to be during the lake's water replacement season."
"The water inlet wasn't big, and the little girl's body was small, so she got caught in the cement pipe of the water inlet and got stuck in the middle of the pipe!"
Ling Yi didn't say what happened next, but the outcome was obvious.
"The little girl saw us here, but because we were strangers, she was afraid to come closer, so she didn't come over. You saved this little girl's life because of that, right?" Xia Qianran said.
Ling Yi nodded.
"This way of saving people is amazing, but it lacks the sense of accomplishment of actually saving someone," Su Mu said, glancing at Ling Yi.
Then he asked, "Are we still going to rescue people?"
Ling Yi nodded!
"Or in this way?"
Ling Yi shook his head, but a smile curved his lips.
Su Mu's question meant that they completely trusted him, and it was time to move on to the next step.
What do you mean by shaking your head?
We need you to rescue people this time!
"Us?" Su Mu asked, pointing to himself.
Xia Qianran also looked at Ling Yi with curiosity.
"Yes, it's you guys!" Ling Yi glanced at the countdown on his phone.
Su Mu became slightly excited and asked, "Then what should we do?"
"There's a tour group to Wangtian Mountain, with a guide and Siji, making exactly 33 people. In five minutes, they'll be leaving the Dihao Hotel by tour bus for Wangtian Mountain."
"Twenty minutes later, we will cross the Black River Bridge, but because a sports car cut in front of us, the bus Siji had to swerve to avoid it."
"As a result of excessive force, the bus crashed through the guardrail and plunged into the Black River. All 33 people on board perished."
"Damn it, do you know the license plate number of that sports car?" Su Mu said angrily.
"The license plate number is Feng F942S0, a white sports car!" Ling Yi said coldly.
