On the way back, Ethan looked at Chen Zhao in the rearview mirror. He saw that Chen Zhao kept looking at the empty space next to him, lips moving occasionally. He seemed to be talking to some invisible person.
âChen, did you smoke weed?â
âHuh? Why would you think so? You think Iâll touch that stuff?â
âOr is it LSD? D*mmit, that stuff is more toxic than weedâŠâ
âPlease, I donât touch that stuff. Iâve never done drugs.â
âBut it seems like youââ
âDonât ask. Iâm very normal.â
Ethan suddenly realized that Chen Zhao seemed to be able to see things that he couldnât.
âChen, is there anyone on this car, other than us?â
âBeelzebub and Raymond.â
âNo, other than them.â
Suddenly, there was a car driving on the wrong side of the road before them. The headlights glared.
Ethanâs expression changed drastically, because the moment that the headlights shone over, he saw a terrifying figure in the rearview mirror. He quickly looked away, but the thing that heâd seen that instant kept flashing in his mind.
âEthan, stop the car!â Chen Zhao suddenly yelled.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âStop, now! Right now! Stop the car!â Chen Zhaoâs tone was urgent.
Ethan hurriedly slammed on the brakes. Then Chen Zhao called, âGet out.â
Ethan didnât know what Chen Zhao was doing. âWe canât park here.â
Just then, there was a huge explosion at the intersection up ahead. A fuel tanker and a small car collided. Firelight swallowed the two vehicles in an instant.
Ethan turned deathly pale. âThisâŠthisâŠChenâŠhow did you know?â
âUhâŠI just needed to pee, so I thought to do it at the side of the street.â
Ethan didnât ask. He just felt that Chen Zhao must have predicted something. Or he received information from someone, so he had Ethan stop the car so hurriedly.
He could see the Grim Reaper!
He could communicate with the Grim Reaper!
Yeah, he was probably looking for the Grim Reaper when he had Ethan go to that street.
He knew where the Grim Reaper was!
Ethan was thinking nonsense, but his guesses were very close to the truth.
âChen, is there someone beside you?â
Chen Zhao subconsciously glanced at Blackie. âWhat? Thereâs no one next to me.â
âNo, I saw it. The Grim Reaperâs next to you.â
Chen Zhao was shocked. âHow did you know?â
âItâs true?â Ethan was even more shocked.
Chen Zhao realized that Ethan couldnât actually see and was just guessing. âTrue? What are you talking about? Are you high?â
âNo, Iâm sure. Chen, who exactly are you?â
âI donât know what youâre talking about. Get on the car and take a different route.â
âChen, are you sure nothing will happen now? Youâll ensure my safety, right? You wonât have the Grim Reaper take me away, right?â
âIf you keep blabbing, the Grim Reaper might kill you because you talk too much.â
âFine, fine. Iâll shut up.â Ethan looked at the rearview mirror again. He tried to keep it in, but he couldnât help but speak again. âChen, can you say hi to the Grim Reaper for me? I swear this is my last sentence.â
âWatch the road.â Chen Zhao face-palmed. âIâm begging you. If you keep getting distracted, weâll really die.â
âChen, did the Grim Reaper reply?â
âDidnât you say that that was your last sentence?â
âThis is my last sentence now. That was the second to last.â
âIf you say another word before I get home, Iâll ask the Grim Reaper to make that the last sentence of your entire life.â
âPlease donât. Weâre bros.â
âWhoâs your bro? I donât have such an old brother.â
Ethan was a chatterbox. Even though he was sure one of his passengers was the Grim Reaper, he still couldnât stop talking. The biggest reason was that Chen Zhao was here.
He was sure Chen Zhao wouldnât let him die. As long as Chen Zhao was here, he could toe the bottom line without worry.
âChen, I want to see the Grim Reaper. Can he appear for me?â
âIâm going to sleep. Wake me up when weâre there.â
âGrim Reaper, have you watched the movie Final Destination?â Ethan started talking to himself. âI feel like itâs an insult to you. You definitely donât have bad interests like that.â
âGrim Reaper, how long do you think I can live for? Will I die from diabetes?â
âIf I can meet you, Iâll definitely ask for an autograph. You might not know this because I look like a Protestant, but I actually worship the Devil and the Grim Reaper.â
âIf I become your most loyal believer, will I become immortal? Or at least add a few years to my life?â
âChen isnât actually suitable to act as your messenger. Maybe you can consider some other people.â
âEthan, I didnât fall asleep.â Chen Zhao glanced at him.
âSorry, I just wanted to try and see if I can have the ability of controlling life and death.â
âEthan, youâre so old already. You still watch those weird TV shows?â
âGrim Reaper, you can see that Chen isnât a good choice. I will follow all your orders diligently.â
Chen Zhao really didnât want to reply to Ethan anymore.
This fat middle-aged American guy was just like a teenage geek.
âGrim Reaper, can you say something to me?â
After chatting for an hour, they finally reached Chen Zhaoâs home. He got out of the car immediately.
âEthan, drive safely.â
âChen, I donât like driving at night. Can I stay the night?â
âNot tonight. How about tomorrow?â
âWhy not? Are you going to do some ritual?â
âEthan, do less drugs. Youâre delusional already.â
âChen, you donât have to hide it. I know that you probably canât say it out loud. Is that the Grim Reaperâs rule? That youâll get punished if you say the truth? Then I wonât make it hard for you.â
âOkay, okay. If thinking like that will make life easier for you, then just think that way. Goodbye.â
Chen Zhao slammed the door shut and went into his house.
He went to turn on the lights but found that it wouldnât work. Did the construction company not fix the circuits?
