Pre-death assessment

The ninth level of the pre-death assessment space.

Inside a hidden mountain cave.

Jiang Liao leaned against the stone wall and drifted into a short sleep.

Several of her teammates were resting beside her, while others were keeping watch.

At this moment, Jiang Liao was also trapped in a strange dream.

In her dream, she returned to the real world.

Early in the morning, she walked to Jiang Luo's room and knocked: "Breakfast is ready. How old are you? Why do I have to call you for breakfast every day?"

Not long after, Jiang Luo came out of the room wearing a bear-patterned pajama.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and said, "Sis, you know I'm naturally more prone to falling asleep than most people, especially in winter. Who doesn't want to stay in bed?"

"Stop dawdling, you have to get up for school even in winter."

Jiang Liao pinched her little face, then turned around and went to the kitchen to bring out the food.

"Sis, maybe you shouldn't call me for breakfast anymore."

Jiang Luo walked over and sat down: "Can you use the time you would have spent eating breakfast to let me sleep?"

Yes, for someone who likes to sleep.

You can skip meals, but you absolutely must sleep.

"Oh ho ho, I have another idea."

Looking at Jiang Luo's face, Jiang Liao continued, "From now on, you'll make breakfast. Call me when it's ready!"

"Ah, this..." Jiang Luo's lips twitched.

"It's settled then!"

Jiang Liao clapped her hands: "Luo Luo, you should also learn how to cook."

"But I already have an older sister, why would I need to learn these things?"

Jiang Luo pouted.

"Of course you have to learn, Luo Luo. You need to learn to survive on your own and be self-reliant."

Jiang Liao gently patted Jiang Luo's head: "Only in this way can I leave with peace of mind."

"leave?"

Jiang Luo's face froze for a moment, then she panicked slightly: "What do you mean, leave? Leave what? Sister, where are you going?"

"I……"

Jiang Liao also choked up.

Yeah, leave what? Why would I even say I'm leaving?

After leaving...where to go?

Why did I suddenly say something like that?

Something feels off...

My own state is strange, and my speech is strange.

Even... even everything around me seems so strange.

Jiang Liao stared at the food on the table, lost in thought for a moment.

Strange, when did I cook so many dishes?

Logically speaking, for breakfast, milk, bread, eggs, and some fruit would be a good combination.

How did I end up cooking such a lavish meal?

They even stewed a pot of chicken soup?

This is not breakfast; no one would spend so much time preparing so many hot dishes so early in the morning.

And... what's even stranger is that I feel like this isn't the first time I've cooked this meal?

I think I've done this before?

It feels like I've experienced everything that's happening before...?

Yes, I can't quite describe the feeling, but the scene before me feels like it's happened before.

Moreover, I remember certain clear details very well.

Next, Luo Luo would probably say: "Sister, you're not getting married, are you..."

"Sis, you're not getting married, are you?!"

Sure enough, the next moment Jiang Luo suddenly stood up: "Waaah, sister, what will I do if you get married?"

Upon hearing this and seeing this scene, Jiang Liao's brows furrowed even more.

Yes, it happened!

I have experienced everything that is happening now before, and it seems that I have experienced it more than once.

But... this kind of memory is strange.

Some images are clear, but they are incomplete.

It's like a movie; you can only remember certain parts.

"What...is wrong with me?"

Jiang Liao frowned and raised one hand to support her head.

My memory is hazy, and my thoughts are confused.

To her, this situation was a very low-level behavior.

Because in her eyes, only idiots would be unable to understand this or that.

But now, she just can't figure it out.

It's like I have a little bit of memory, but it's fragmented and incomplete.

"Sis? Sis, what's wrong?"

At this moment, Jiang Luo called out a few more times.

Jiang Liao snapped out of her daze, then shook her head with a smile: "It's nothing, what nonsense are you talking about? I don't care about ordinary people in this world."

"Then why did you say that?" Jiang Luo pouted. "If you leave, how will I live?"

"But I can't be by your side every single moment, can I?"

Jiang Liao continued, "You're the one I worry about the most, otherwise I would have already been traveling the world."

Jiang Luo immediately lowered her head: "I'm sorry..."

"Just kidding."

Jiang Liao quickly smiled and said softly, "Even if I go to heaven or hell someday, I will take you with me, so... Luo Luo, you have to become very powerful too."

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Luo nodded emphatically.

"Let's eat."

After the two sisters finished breakfast, Jiang Liao drove Jiang Luo to her high school.

Jiang Liao closed the car window and turned on the air conditioner.

Then the radio channel broadcast a report: The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that a new and stronger cold front will arrive starting tomorrow, which will be the strongest cold front since the second half of this year…

Upon hearing the radio broadcast, Jiang Liao's mind wandered slightly again.

She felt as if everything before her eyes was familiar, as if it had happened before.

Moreover, it seems like something bad is about to happen.

As for what exactly it was, she couldn't remember...

Before long, the car arrived at the school gate, and Jiang got out.

"Make sure you stay warm at school and wear your scarf."

Jiang Liao waved at Jiang Luo, then added, "And I'll remind you one more time: no dating!"

"Okay, okay, sis, do you think I'd even look at those ugly, ordinary people?"

Jiang Luo shrugged her backpack: "If I don't meet someone more amazing than you, I'll never date in my life."

"Heh, you certainly have high standards."

Jiang Liao smiled and said, "And you might end up single for the rest of your life."

"Then just stay single, what's so great about it?"

Jiang Luo raised her chin: "At worst, I'll just marry you, sister. Hehe, we'll go from sisters to husband and wife."

"Get lost!"

Jiang glanced at her goodbye.

"goodbye."

The two then said their goodbyes.

After watching Jiang Luo enter the school, Jiang Liao drove back the way he came.

The snow outside the car window was getting heavier and heavier, and in the blink of an eye, it was a vast expanse of white.

As Jiang Liao drove and admired the snowy scenery outside the window, he felt increasingly familiar with the scene.

What's wrong with me today?

She couldn't help but frown, wondering what had gone wrong with her today.

Why do I always feel like I've already experienced everything that happened today, but I can't quite remember it...?

Just then, the car arrived at the traffic light intersection.

She waited outside the zebra crossing, following the flow of traffic.

She glanced up slightly at the traffic light timer, then her brows furrowed again.

42 seconds!

Yes, I remember seeing that scene. I had just stopped and looked up when I saw a 42-second countdown.

If someone drives back and forth on the same road frequently, there is a probability that they will encounter the same red light countdown at the same traffic light intersection.

But Jiang Liao's current feeling is that it's not a matter of probability at all.

This isn't just about the same red light countdown; it's about everything that happened today, everything is the same!

What will happen next?

Jiang Liao pondered, as if trying to dig out something he had forgotten from his mind.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't dig it out.

The red light countdown ended, and the car began to move forward.

Jiang Liao continued driving alone, heading back home.

Before long, we arrived at a section of road with a steep downhill slope.

She locked the car in a low gear and slowly drove it downhill.

Looking around at everything, she narrowed her eyes slightly.

Yes, right here, it seems like something's about to happen.

What is it? Why can't I remember?

Jiang was completely baffled.

Just then, a car horn suddenly sounded behind us, urging us on.

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Liao seemed to suddenly recall something.

It was a car accident!

Yes, if I were here today, I would be in a car accident!

Sure enough, at that moment, a fully loaded truck behind them malfunctioned and suddenly plunged downwards.

On the downhill section of the road, in the snowy winter, all the vehicles were moving slowly, but the truck lost control and suddenly became like an unstoppable beast.

Following the impact of the truck, other vehicles also experienced a chain reaction, all losing control.

Jiang Liao tried to dodge quickly, but it was too late.

With a loud bang, a car crashed into it from behind.

The entire road section was immediately out of control.

All the cars rushed down the road like boulders rolling down a mountain, crashing into the curb.

All the cars were severely damaged, and many people died on the spot.

Jiang Liao's car also had all its airbags deployed, and the front and rear were completely mangled from the impact.

She was trapped inside the car and felt dizzy from the impact, but thankfully she was still alive.

"Come out quickly."

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out: "The truck behind us is going to crash into us, quick!"

Jiang Liao snapped out of her daze, turned her head, and saw a person.

She was a very strange person; she had never met this person before, yet she felt a strange sense of familiarity with him.

His appearance and his voice seemed very familiar to me.

But I really don't know this person at all.

And this person... was none other than Ling Wu!

At this moment, Ling Wuzheng reached out his hand towards her.

Jiang Liao hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Ling Wu's hand.

Then, amidst the frantic honking of the vehicles behind them, Ling Wu pulled her out of the car.

"Be careful!"

However, as soon as it was pulled out, Jiang Liao's pupils suddenly trembled.

Because a large truck was already crashing into us from behind at full speed.

Then... both of them were sent flying at the same time.

In the instant he was hit by the car and thrown into the air, Jiang Liao glanced at his car.

Actually... if I had stayed stuck in the car, I wouldn't have been hit.

But it was this person who rescued him.

So, he and I... died together!
