We were supposed to be doing horror movie guides, but what the heck is this "mysterious resurre

Chapter 130 Death is Coming? Death is in a panic! (4.4k)

In the Bloodline Curse timeline, Grandma Alice is definitely an MVP-level character.

Foreseeing the scene of death, he performed a series of actions that saved everyone on the dance floor.

He then withstood death for decades with his mortal body.

Since Death could not kill her, it could not kill her descendants, which is why her descendants never knew that they should never have been born into this world.

In the end, in order to get rid of Alice, Death had no choice but to give her cancer and hasten her death.

Like Alice, deliberately placing numerous traps inside the house and preparing countermeasures for various ways to die is one way to allow an ordinary person to survive for a month.

However, the feasibility of this method is 0.

Given the personalities of Alice's abstract descendants, they're bound to pull off a whole bunch of crazy antics.

Lu Ming clearly remembered that Daisy's cousin Eric and cousin Bobby were a pair of clowns.

The former repeatedly provoked Death.

Fortunately, because he was the son of Daisy's aunt and the neighbor, and had no blood relation to Alice, he was not on the Grim Reaper's list.

Later, while in the hospital, he came up with a foolish idea: he deliberately fed his cousin, who was allergic to peanut butter, peanut butter. As a result of this miscalculation, his cousin died tragically.

Eric himself had his earrings, nose piercings, nipple piercings, and egg piercings sucked away by a fully powered MRI machine, and ultimately, he too was taken by death.

Expecting these idiots to cooperate with Lu Ming's plan is simply a pipe dream.

After all, several people died in the original story before Daisy convinced her family of the bloodline curse.

The second way to survive death is, like Claire in the first movie, to wrap yourself up in a fully furnished safe house.

This method had already been rejected by Lu Ming.

It's basically not feasible.

He even suspected that the reason Claire was killed by Death only after leaving the safe house was because she had severed all social ties, completely disappeared from society, and hid in a mental hospital, so she was also considered to have "died" in a certain sense.

There is another method called transferring cause and effect.

In Final Destination 5, the black coroner said that if someone on the Grim Reaper's list could kill another person, they would not only escape the pursuit but also gain the remaining lifespan of that person.

A young Black man on the Grim Reaper's list was given the lifespan of a construction worker, and was temporarily spared by Death.

However, that colleague himself had a terminal illness, so the young black man who inherited his lifespan also died in an accident not long afterward.

On the other hand, the protagonist Sam was given the remaining lifespan of a healthy federal agent, but he was still killed by Flight 180 two weeks later, forming a closed loop with the story of the first movie.

Therefore, in Lu Ming's understanding, this method of prolonging life by shifting cause and effect is simply a trap.

Even if they temporarily escape Death's pursuit, they will still be included in Death's next list because they have taken the lives of others and forcibly participated in cause and effect.

"So... the only option worth trying is the last one."

"In Final Destination, the main characters were basically all wiped out, and none of them survived from the Grim Reaper's list... Of course, this statement is not entirely accurate; one person did survive."

Lu Ming thought of Kimberly, the female lead in Final Destination 2.

She is the only person who truly escaped death's clutches.

To escape the pursuit, the key word is "new life".

The "new life" here does not refer to the birth of new life.

Instead, the goal is to kill off the people on the original list and then bring them back to life, creating a new cycle of life.

In this way, Death will rearrange the list of the dead.

···········
Daisy clearly trusted her classmate from China and agreed to Lu Ming's suggestion without hesitation.

Lu Ming and his four companions got into Daisy's car and went home with her.

In Daisy's family, few people knew about her grandmother Alice; Daisy had never even met the old woman since birth.

Everyone in the family said Alice had gone mad, and Daisy's mother had left home because of her.

It wasn't until he repeatedly pressed his uncle that he managed to glean some clues.

The group found many strange letters in a drawer, which studied countless bizarre ways of dying and included horrifying photos.

Following the address above, Daisy drove Lu Ming and the others to the place where his grandmother lived.

In the car, Jiang Zi asked in a low voice, "Captain Lu, do you have a plan to snatch someone from the clutches of death?"

Since Daisy can't understand what they're saying, they don't have any particular reservations when communicating.

Before Lu Ming could speak, Chen Xin answered for him: "Trust Brother Ming."

Jiang Zi gave a helpless bitter smile: "Trust me, but don't believe me yet. I'll ask Captain Lu."

In short... first believe.

It wasn't that Jiang Zi didn't believe in Lu Ming's abilities.

However, unlike Chen Xin, she wasn't given a low-level code.

After a rational analysis of the current situation, the conclusion is that it is very difficult to win.

Lu Ming's strength is indeed terrifying.

But if Death really gets going, those on the list could choke to death even if they were just drinking water.

Jiang Zi couldn't think of a way to save at least one person from the clutches of death.

Li Tian huddled in a corner, too afraid to make a sound, while Gao Mingzhe pointed towards the air.

"Actually, what Chen Xin said is correct. Just listen to Captain Lu's command. There's no point in saying more... You know, there are people watching us from outside."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zi suddenly realized that their every move was being observed by Sister Xiao's team in the Main God Space.

Thinking of this, she immediately fell silent.

However, compared to their caution, Lu Ming seemed quite casual.

For him, it wouldn't matter if Sister Xiao and the other four heard about his future plans.

After all, once this team-based competitive dungeon ends, the five challengers from the other team will become five cold corpses.

···········
As Daisy drove into a side road, she came to a rather secluded path, where the trees around her became increasingly numerous.

The path was lined with trees on both sides, and the leaves rustled incessantly as a gentle breeze blew by.

Swish, swish, swish! ! !
Desolate, gloomy, and dilapidated.

That was their first impression of the place.

It's hard to imagine that someone would live in such a place for decades without changing their lifestyle.

Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a deep respect for Alice, whom he had never met before.

Without a doubt, this is an elder who is responsible, dedicated, and devoted.

To ensure the survival of his family, he withstood death with his lonely and frail body, building a wall called "hope".

In her battle against death, Alice doesn't care about the rumors or what others think of her.

"Truly great."

"At least for me, I can't be that selfless."

The environment ahead became increasingly gloomy, devoid of any life, not even animals.

The "No Trespassing" sign hanging on the tree was rusty. When they arrived at the entrance of the junkyard where Alice lived, they found many sharp wooden stakes lying haphazardly outside.

Lu Ming looked at Daisy: "Do you know how to get in?"

Daisy was clearly startled by the scene before her, and stammered, "N-no... I don't know, this is my first time here too, but looking at the buttons on there, maybe I can try pressing them?"

Daisy was pointing to a metal plate that stood upright, with a very old-fashioned intercom button on it.

Several people got out of the car and pressed the button.

Hey, hey, hey!
A series of static sounds came through, and the intercom system was connected.

But there was no sound from the other side, only a piercing crackling of electricity and a deathly silence. "Hello... Grandma, it's your granddaughter Daisy. Can you let us in?"

Still no one answered.

The entire messy courtyard exuded an unusual stillness.

An ominous premonition rose in everyone's hearts.

"Something seems wrong; we have no choice but to activate Plan B."

Jiang Zi took out a small medicine bottle, carefully unscrewed the cap, and sprinkled the medicine onto the iron gate.

As a foul stench of decay emanated from the iron gate, the rusty chains wrapped around it broke off on their own.

After doing all that, she glanced at Lu Ming, probably feeling that she could finally be of some use.

Lu Ming merely frowned and said, "Breaking open the iron gate won't do any good; there are still many traps in the courtyard."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked towards the courtyard.

Sure enough, it was filled with wooden spikes similar to barricades, as well as unidentified traps hanging in mid-air.

The entire courtyard was decorated like a post-apocalyptic cabin.

To enter the courtyard without the owner's permission, one must overcome numerous obstacles.

Lu Ming naturally didn't have that kind of free time.

With a thought, he activated his Ghost Domain, enveloping everyone within it, and the next moment they appeared outside a dilapidated tin shack.

······
"Captain Lu's ability is teleportation?!"

This time, not only Jiang Zi, but Gao Mingzhe was also stunned.

Although they had teamed up together once before, this was the first time they had actually seen Lu Ming make a move.

From the perspective of its effect, it seems to be some kind of spatial law.

If this ability doesn't have too many limitations, then based on this alone, their Lu team's strength is definitely no less than that of the fifth-tier Owl Sister.

Daisy covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, "My God! So this is Chinese Kung Fu?"

Lu Ming nodded: "Yes, it's a very basic operation. Everyone in China can do it."

The six people had already arrived at the door.

But there was still no sound from inside the house.

Lu Ming had no choice but to break down the door.

boom! ! !
The wooden door, covered in old sheet metal, was opened, and a musty smell wafted out from inside.

Compared to the various arrangements outside the cabin, the traps inside are far more ingenious and complex.

Upon seeing the scene inside, everyone was simultaneously taken aback.

It wasn't because of these ingeniously designed traps, but because of the corpse on the wooden chair inside the house.

Judging from his hunched figure, he appeared to be a very old man.

The reason it cannot be confirmed is that the body has lost its head, leaving only a cold corpse.

"grandmother!!!"

Daisy grabbed her hair with both hands and backed away, looking incredulous.

She never imagined that her first meeting with her grandmother would be in this way.

Bloodstains were everywhere, but Alice's head was nowhere to be seen, only bits of flesh and debris, most likely she had been blown into a bloody mist.

Judging from the consistency of her blood, Alice's death must have occurred not long ago.

Gao Mingzhe pushed up his glasses, looked around, and began to analyze.

"The magnifying glass focused the sunlight onto the smooth plate, the light burned through the rope, and the flowerpot tied in mid-air fell, smashing the knife away... As Alice got up to avoid the knife, the water that had been spilled on the floor became a foreshadowing. Alice slipped and sat back down on the wooden chair, and the series of crises just now were just a pretext."

"There is only one truth about Alice's real death. It was the iron ball in the corner that triggered the mechanism in the yard. After a series of unbelievable coincidences, the iron ball flew from outside into the house and killed Alice when she slipped and fell."

Gao Mingzhe clearly possesses considerable profiling skills.

The crime scene was roughly reconstructed in a very short time.

All six fell silent upon hearing this.

If what Gao Mingzhe said is true, then this way of dying is really absurd.

Alice has figured out all the traps inside the house. Under normal circumstances, Death cannot kill her, otherwise Death would not have been held back by Alice for so long.

But this time, Death didn't play by the rules and used some other methods, comparable to a deus ex machina.

Unless Daisy's grandmother Alice is a hidden superhero, no matter how well-prepared she is, she has no chance of surviving this attack.

Lu Ming frowned and thought to himself, "Death can't afford to play this game. He could have slowly worn down Alice, at most speeding up the onset of her cancer... But once we variables got involved, Death panicked and started cheating."

"But it's not a big problem. I did consider this situation beforehand, and I came to Alice to confirm it."

···········
Outside the copy.

The main god space.

The five members of the Xiao family watched Lu Ming and the others perform in the dungeon from the white room.

At first, they were a little unbalanced.

After all, once they entered the instance, they were immediately confronted with a terrible plane crash.

However, Lu Ming and his companions transmigrated to a university, where the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, and there was no sign of any danger.

However, when Alice's body appeared, Sister Owl immediately put on a smug smile.

Lu Ming and his group initially had very few people to protect, only Alice's family.

Death could wipe them out with just a few strikes.

Alice, the only one who seemed to have some brains and luck, was decisively killed by Death right at the start of the game.

"Judging from the current developments, the situation is very promising!"

Thinking of this, Sister Xiao smiled smugly.

It wasn't that she opened champagne halfway through the game.

From her perspective, Lu Ming and the others had absolutely no chance of saving anyone, and the most likely outcome was that they wouldn't even be able to save their own lives.

The fat man standing to the side looked on with schadenfreude.

He lost an arm, and the only way to repair it is to wait until this team-based PvP dungeon is completely over.

This led him to hold Lu Ming and the others responsible for the incident.

In Fatty's opinion, it would be best if these guys could die directly in the dungeon.

The skinny guy objectively analyzed, "But boss, to be honest, that Lu Ming seems to have some real strength... He's skilled in gambling and can also control the laws of space to a certain extent."

Sister Xiao waved her hand dismissively: "I can make a definitive statement: abilities related to the laws of space will never be as powerful as abilities related to the laws of time."

In the minds of the five, the outcome of the dungeon was no longer in doubt.

However, Sister Xiao never considered that Lu Ming didn't actually need to consider time and space.

Using the Ghost Realm for movement is just the most basic application.

Once Lu Ming masters the Ghost Painting Ghost Domain, he can also stop time, and without the terrible side effects like Sister Xiao's.

Just as Sister Xiao and the others were relaxed and thought they had victory in the bag, Lu Ming suddenly made an unexpected move.

All five of them were startled at the same time.

"What is he trying to do?!"
