Keep Flirting and Don't Get Killed
Vol. 1 - Chapter 6 - Pending Death
Jiang Ran: 774, 773, 772...
Master Nissen: (You, you, your unit is seconds! Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier!!)
Master Nissen's extremely excited reaction made Jiang Ran very satisfied. Through her performance, he had obtained the information he wanted.
Knowing that he had less than thirteen minutes left to live, Jiang Ran did not immediately think about how to avoid the impending death, but first tested the extent of Master Nissen's information.
According to Master Nissen's words and reaction, Jiang Ran believed that she could not see the "death scene" he saw, and there was no other way to obtain the information about it. In other words, the right to use the Super Dimensional Eye function should be under Jiang Ran's control.
...If she is not deliberately acting to fool me.@@novelbin@@
Time was limited, and testing Master Nissen could only go so far. What Jiang Ran needed to deal with more urgently now was to find a way to fix the future where he would die in twelve minutes.
While successfully using the ability to "predict his death scene", Jiang Ran saw a bird's-eye view of a village. In the bird's-eye view, this village near a forest only had 20 to 30 bustling wooden houses. In the frozen picture, the villagers were all looking at the southwest corner of the village, where a pillar of fire as huge as a tower appeared, shooting straight into the sky. At the edge of the pillar of fire was a blurry shadow clad in armor. There were also cracks near the ground where the shadow stood, as if it had received a strong impact.
After watching this death scene, Jiang Ran only had one question: where was he? It was clearly the scene of his death, but there was no trace of him in the picture.
Master Nissen: (There are less than twelve minutes left, Jiang Ran! Tell me, how were you killed in the death scene? If you don't think of something, you will die!)
Master Nissen kept shouting in Jiang Ran's mind, and this panic made him feel even more that this guy was unreliable. However, even the most unreliable teammates could be useful if they were guided properly. In addition, after hearing the words "You will die if you don't think of something", Jiang Ran also learned an additional piece of information. That was, even if he died, Master Nissen would not die. In this way, the relationship of common interests between them suddenly became much weaker.
Okay, put aside distractions and start to concentrate on solving problems.
Jiang Ran took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then he communicated with Master Nissen while climbing a tree.
Master Nissen, it's not that there are only twelve minutes left, but there are still twelve minutes. In addition, I have some questions to ask you about the ability of the Super Dimensional Eye.
Jiang Ran first briefly told Master Nissen about his death scene, and then asked her about the details of the ability of the Super Dimensional Eye. Master Nissen replied to Jiang Ran that the ability to "predict one's own death scene" allowed the user to see the scene of their death. Also, the "death freeze frame" would definitely record the entire scene of the user's death.
According to Master Nissen's explanation, combined with the scene Jiang Ran saw, the combination between the two finally pointed to a single possibility: he was instantly burned to ashes by the huge pillar of fire in the scene, and so, there was not a trace of his body left in the picture. The reason for the bird's-eye view looking down was to capture Jiang Ran's ashes for the camera, but in fact, even the ashes could not be seen.
When human remains are cremated, the temperature of the crematorium starts to rise from 200 degrees. The first stage of cremation is to burn the paper coffin, human clothing, and fat. The best burning temperature at this stage is 400–500 degrees. Then, the second stage is to burn the human muscles, organs, and blood. The best burning temperature is about 600 degrees. The third stage is to burn the bones. At this stage, the temperature must be raised to at least 800–900 degrees to burn the bones into ash, and the whole cremation process takes at least one and a half hours...
Master Nissen: (Uh, Jiang Ran, excuse me for interrupting. Have you gone crazy with fear? Why are you suddenly talking about cremation?)
Because, by comparing, we can know that the temperature of the fire column that burned me to death was at least three or four thousand degrees Celsius, so I was vaporized instantly. Then, based on this conclusion, we can know that the "enemy" who killed me was extremely powerful, and I couldn't escape.
After Jiang Ran finished speaking, Master Nissen was silent for a while, and then she suddenly laughed triumphantly.
Master Nissen: (Hehehe, hahahaha! Thank me, Jiang Ran! Although this enemy is strong, I have already thought of a secret plan to help you escape death!)
To be honest, Jiang Ran didn't think Master Nissen could give any constructive advice, but since she had said so, he still had to give her a way out.
Master Nissen, what good ideas have you come up with?
Master Nissen: (Hehehe, listen carefully, Jiang Ran! You died in the village, right? But we are in the woods now! We are nowhere near any village! So if we just hide in the woods, won't we be fine? Wow, haha! I am such a genius!)
After listening to Master Nissen's idea, Jiang Ran felt that he really shouldn’t have asked her and wasted ten precious seconds.
Master Nissen, the village is just outside the woods, and the walking distance is about five minutes. Secondly, I don't think that a guy with such strong power couldn't find us hiding in the woods, because I took a look, and the area of these woods is only a circle surrounding the village.
Master Nissen: (...Ah (・_・)?)
While Master Nissen was expressing her opinion just now, Jiang Ran had already climbed up the tallest tree nearby. From the top of the tree canopy, he could see not only the nearby village but also basically the whole forest. From the appearance of the houses in the village, there was no doubt that it was the same village in Jiang Ran's 'death scene'.
There were now less than nine minutes left before Jiang Ran's death.
Master Nissen: (It's over, it's over... Jiang, Jiang Ran, do you have any last words? I will bring you back to your original world and send them to your family and friends in their dreams... Woohoo, how come your second life, which you finally got, was gone in just over ten minutes? It's so pitiful...)
Master Nissen completely collapsed, but Jiang Ran remained calm.
Master Nissen, I would be very grateful if you could shut up. I have no last words, and I don't plan to die here.
Master Nissen: (Woo... Woo... Ah? You, you mean you have a way??)
Yes, you just need to watch quietly.
After saying this, Jiang Ran no longer paid attention to Master Nissen. This was not because he was finally going to take action. In fact, since he knew that he would die in thirteen minutes, Jiang Ran had never stopped taking action. The reason why he was still chatting with Master Nissen until now was just because he was waiting for someone.
Now, the person he was waiting for has arrived.
In the woods, a middle-aged man who looked like a woodcutter was walking towards the village. Jiang Ran stared at him in the dark and got down from the tree silently.
