I had some suspicions, but without confirmation, I still didn't believe it in my heart.

No matter how many unconventional images of the Grim Reaper appear in movies, TV shows, novels, and comics, I know they are fiction and won’t take them to heart. But in reality, I met such a non-mainstream god of death...

I can’t even remember the face of that god of death now, it’s just like a passerby’s face that I can forget about in a blink of an eye. The weird black clothes from head to toe are not associated with words such as "tasteful", "fashionable", and "good-looking".

"Not the God of Death." Gu Mo's words interrupted my somewhat chaotic thoughts.

"No? But didn't you just say..." I was really speechless to Gu Mo. If not, what was he doing with that description that made people think crookedly?

"He is a ghost, our Chinese ghost, understand?" Gu Mo suddenly said something in English.

My face turned dark and I really wanted to beat Gu Mo up.

"We don't call him the God of Death. That's what foreign countries call him. Not all foreign countries call him the God of Death. Thanatos, Anubis, Hel..."

It’s hard to tell that Gumo is actually very cultured.

"You know a lot." I couldn't help interrupting Gu Mo.

"Well, okay, I have the web page open."

I was stunned for a moment before I realized the meaning of Gu Mo's words, and I couldn't help but feel angry.

"So, what you said before were all nonsense?" I asked suppressing my anger, feeling that I was being teased by Gu Mo.

"No, I'm serious. That's a ghost, not the God of Death. Although our current God is a bit crazy, compared to those gods abroad, he is still much more sensible." Gu Mo said in a surprising way, "Don't mess with it. He, it won't come to you. Even if you mess with it, it doesn't matter if you don't violate the bottom line. It's not like those gods abroad who do whatever they want, curse others when they are unhappy, and kill people without blinking an eye. . Oh, we used to have gods like that, but God is the greatest and took care of them all."

"Will there be bull heads and horse faces, black and white and impermanence?" I complained.

"I don't know, I haven't seen it, and Ye Zi and the others haven't mentioned it." Gu Mo answered honestly.

I couldn't get any answers from Gu Mo, but I felt a lot more at ease after listening to his nonsense.

The thin man and the others were amazed after hearing what I said.

"It's better to live here," the thin man sighed, "To be honest, God should do what God does. Don't say that God loves the world, and don't torment people, right?"

"Isn't there a saying that gods are creatures that are more powerful than humans? They are no different from monsters." Fatty said while driving.

"This makes sense." The thin man nodded, "So, it is better to be a god in our country. This is because he has good conduct and does not bully the weak. Although there are some things like that now..."

Guo Yujie laughed when she heard it and gave the thin man a slap.

The thin man grinned in pain, covering his beaten shoulder, and pressed his body against the car door, far away from Guo Yujie.

The fat man sent us home one by one.

Today's trip took a lot of time. When I got home, my sister was still awake and doing questions.

"Don't work too hard. Not getting enough sleep at night will affect your body and your class the next day." I advised my sister.

My sister nodded in agreement, "Brother, you should go to bed early too."

I'm ready to sleep.

I was frightened several times along the way, and I was mentally tired. After washing, my consciousness became blurry as soon as I lay on the bed.

In my daze, I heard footsteps.

The footsteps were familiar, and I suddenly woke up. When I opened my eyes, I saw a bed.

The lights in the bedroom were turned off, but the lights in the living room were on. The bedroom door was ajar, and a beam of light shone in, slanting under the bed. Although it didn't directly shine on the person lying on the bed, I adapted to the darkness and through the light, I could still see clearly who was lying on the bed.

——Director Zhou!

I was startled, took a step forward, moved my body, turned my head, and saw that the person originally attached to me was the ghost I saw at night, who was also Director Zhou's wife and Qian Lan's father, Qian Zhong.

Qian Zhong's outline was a little blurry, but his face was still visible. The whole figure seemed to have been processed by PS, and the edges of the figure merged with the surrounding environment.

He lowered his head and stared at Director Zhou, his eyes were very gentle, and he remained motionless, as if he could see the end of the world.

I don't know whether to say it's touching or terrifying.

After recovering from the sudden shock, I noticed the footsteps that had woken me up before.

The sound of footsteps certainly did not come from a standing clock.

I couldn't help but follow the sound and looked up at the ceiling.

Before changing, I definitely had to float up to see whose footsteps those were, but after what happened with Chen Yaqin and those several forced montages, I had no time to react. I'm going to float up now. If I come down again, will it be time to burst the water pipe again?

The footsteps above my head were still ringing. In addition to that footsteps, I heard other footsteps coming from all directions.

I couldn't help but feel numb. I glanced at the money clock, then looked back at the balcony. Then I walked backwards to the balcony and glanced downstairs.

I was just going to check out the situation. I also had the experience of Chen Yaqin when I was on the balcony. I looked at the scenery for a while, and when I turned around, a long time passed.

But when I saw it like this, I froze and couldn't look away at all.

Downstairs is the road in the community, and many people are walking on it, like tadpoles in the river.

Their footsteps were not neat, and the messy footsteps I heard came from them.

When I looked closely, I could see that each of them had a stiff expression, just like Director Zhou when he was picked up by the ghosts and walked all the way back to the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants.

I turned my eyes several times below, but I didn't see the man in black clothes. I couldn't help but feel suspicious, and I felt that the scene in front of me was indescribably weird and terrifying.

As these people walked, some turned a corner and some entered the residential building next to them.

I looked towards the residential building opposite and saw a figure climbing up the stairs through the window. I watched helplessly as the man entered a house.

For some reason, I thought of the scene after class in college. A large group of students came out of the teaching building and entered the dormitory area, then dispersed and went back to their dormitories. But the current scene is definitely not that life-like, nor is it that vibrant.

Under the moonlight and street lights, those people were like zombies assigned to work, entering their respective posts, and then...

I heard different footsteps, shuffling, not eerie.

As soon as I turned around, I saw the light in the bedroom turned on. Qian Lan was standing at the door, holding the doorknob with one hand and pressing the light switch with the other, looking at the bed suspiciously.

This is what Qian Lan once said.

I looked at where Qian Zhong was standing, but there was no shadow there.

Where did the money clock go?

Although I knew Qian Zhong had no ill intentions and probably hadn't done anything, I still felt nervous.

In this dream, I should be following Qian Zhong. Since I am here, Qian Zhong should also be here, but I can't see Qian Zhong. This is too wrong.

Suddenly there were several screams and the sound of things being smashed outside.

Those sounds almost came out together, which made Qian Lan tremble. I also trembled and turned my head to look out the window.

Just like that, when I turned around, what I saw was no longer what I saw on the fourth floor, but on the ground, at the entrance of the community.

The sign for the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants is right in front of me, and the guard room is so familiar. Even the guard is the same one I saw tonight. All around me were men, women, and children with dull faces, crowded together like people waiting for the subway.

Thank you to us, Deja Vu for the reward~

I'm so flattered, Alexander...

However, I’m super happy, thank you so much! (づ￣3￣)づ
