Chapter 6 The Entire Internet Shocked
Chapter 6 The Entire Internet Shocked
Jiang Yu stood in front of the completely wrecked car, the evening breeze carrying a faint smell of gasoline and burning metal brushing against her cheeks.
Her gaze slowly shifted from the steaming front of the jeep to her own slightly trembling, red but undamaged arms.
A burning, stinging pain shot through my arm, a normal reaction to the violent impact. But apart from that, there was no excruciating pain from a bone fracture, nor any bloody mess.
She could clearly feel that beneath her skin, the muscle fibers, bones, and even deeper tissues were brimming with unprecedented vitality and resilience.
The warm current gushing out from the sea of bitterness below the navel is circulating rapidly, nourishing and repairing the point of impact, and the burning sensation is quickly subsiding.
Is this... the physique that comes from the Bitter Sea Realm?
She clenched her fist unconsciously, her knuckles making a crisp, powerful sound.
A surge of power coursed through her body, giving her the illusion that she could punch right through the steel plate of the car in front of her.
No, perhaps it wasn't an illusion. That impact just now had already proven how terrifying that power was.
She looked up at the driver's seat.
The car window was shattered, the airbags had fully deployed, and it was stained with glaring blood.
The Taoist priest, Yun Leizi, was slumped in the driver's seat in a contorted position, his head tilted to one side, his face and head covered in blood, his eyes wide open, but his gaze was completely unfocused and devoid of any spirit.
Jiang Yu's heart clenched.
She held her breath and tried to listen.
After escaping the sea of suffering, her five senses became exceptionally sharp.
At this moment, in this desolate suburb, apart from the sound of the wind and the faint chirping of insects in the distance, she tried to filter out the noise and focus her attention on the figure in the driver's seat.
There was no breathing sound.
There was no heartbeat.
It lacks the subtle, life-specific rhythm of blood flow.
There was only a cold, lifeless stillness.
He... died.
This realization clearly appeared in Jiang Yu's mind.
Without instruments or physical contact, she reached this conclusion solely through her enhanced perception.
In the instant of the high-speed impact, he could have died on the spot from a broken neck or fatal intracranial injury because he wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
A complex mix of emotions welled up in Jiang Yu's heart.
It was a lingering fear. If she hadn't escaped the sea of suffering at the last moment, if she were still the ordinary Jiang Yu, she herself would be lying on the ground, a bloody mess.
It was anger. This man, simply because she exposed his scam and he lost face, held a grudge and even tried to run her over with his car! How vicious!
But... there was also a faint trace of bewilderment, a bewilderment she herself was unwilling to acknowledge. A life had ended before her very eyes, in this way.
Although she didn't do it, and she was even the victim, it was ultimately caused by her.
save him?
The thought flashed through Jiang Yu's mind for only a moment before he suppressed it.
Even setting aside the fact that the other party was a premeditated murderer and deserved to die, even if she wanted to save him, she wouldn't know how to perform first aid, let alone any magical arts of bringing the dead back to life.
There might be some pills in the storage bag her brother gave her, but she has no idea what those bottles and jars are or how to use them.
Feeding them haphazardly might hasten their death.
More importantly, emotionally, she was unwilling to save him. Why should she save someone who wanted to kill her?
Jiang Yu took a deep breath, suppressing her chaotic emotions. Now was not the time to let her mind wander.
She remembered her phone, which was still broadcasting live, on the ground. She quickly walked over and picked it up.
The phone screen was cracked from the fall, but the picture was still there and the live stream hadn't stopped.
The live stream room had completely gone crazy.
The number of online users skyrocketed, jumping from over a thousand to five thousand, and is still increasing at an astonishing rate.
The bullet comments are no longer a stream of text, but a dense, layered waterfall of characters, making it impossible to read the actual content; all you can see are countless...
Short phrases like "!!!", "Holy crap", "Cultivating immortality", and "My mom asked me why I was kneeling while watching the live stream" were flooding the screen.
The gift effects were more frequent than ever before. Rockets and spaceships, which are rarely seen normally, were rising up on the screen as if they were free.
The red dot notification for the private message has turned into "999+" and is still jumping around wildly.
Jiang Yu felt a chill run down her spine as she looked at the completely out-of-control scene.
She knew how impactful her act of "physically blocking the car" was, but the reaction in the live stream still exceeded her expectations.
This is no longer about watching the spectacle or questioning the script. This is a genuine, mind-blowing shock, and the ensuing, almost frantic desire.
Immortality? Power? Supernatural?
These things, which only exist in legends and fantasies, seem to have been confirmed in the most brutal and direct way in front of a live broadcast camera, revealing just the tip of the iceberg.
How could people not go crazy?
But Jiang Yu was very clear-headed. She knew things had gotten out of hand.
Car accident, death, live broadcast, cultivation of immortality... She couldn't even imagine the uproar these elements would cause if combined.
The live stream must be ended immediately and the situation dealt with.
"Everyone."
Jiang Yu spoke to the camera, her voice still a little hoarse, but unusually calm, "As you can see, there has been a serious traffic accident here. I need to handle the aftermath now. That concludes today's live stream, thank you everyone."
Her words came through the shattered microphone of her phone, but no one in the live chat listened to her. The gifts were sent even more fiercely, with countless people shouting "Don't turn it off," "We want to see what happens next," and "Don't go, Immortal."
Without further hesitation, Jiang Yu tapped her finger and ended the live stream.
The world became much quieter instantly, with only the phone still vibrating, notifying me of unread messages and incoming calls.
She ignored all that and immediately used the phone to call the police and emergency services.
"Hello, is this 110? There's been a car accident here, at the entrance of the abandoned third factory in the old industrial area of the west of the city... Yes, someone is injured, seriously... I'm the person involved, the other party hit me with their car... Okay, I'll wait here."
After hanging up, she called 120 again and explained the situation.
After doing all that, she leaned against a rusted steel pillar next to her, feeling as if some of her strength had been drained away.
It wasn't physical weakness, but rather mental tension and exhaustion.
She looked at the phone in her hand; the cracked lines on the screen resembled a spider web.
She touched the jade slip and storage bag in her pocket again; the cool and warm sensations intertwined, reminding her that it was all real.
Her brother... truly gave her an unimaginable world.
She had just taken the first step and used the most extreme method to verify the power of this world.
In the distance, the faint sound of police sirens could already be heard, rapidly approaching.
