Chapter 46 - Chapter 46 Death's Target

While the survivors on the original Shinigami list were enjoying their peace, Chris was already annoyed by the continuous string of unfortunate events around him.

Less than an hour had passed since he arrived in this world.

He had successively encountered a series of major disasters that could have killed an ordinary person several times over: a pickup truck losing control, an electric shock while showering, a hotel fire, and a broken roof beam.

There were even potential dangers that Chris himself hadn't noticed.

For example, the dead fish thrown from the pickup truck; thousands of pounds of fish falling from a height of over ten meters could also crush a strong man to death.

And then there was the electric shock while Chris was showering; it didn't matter, with his physique, even 240 volts couldn't kill him.

But when he noticed the electric leak, the coincidentally eerie steel wire that wrapped around his neck made Chris realize something was wrong.

At that time, Chris already suspected he had arrived in the Final Destination world.

But what truly confirmed it for Chris was when the hotel he was staying in suddenly caught fire, turning into an inferno in just a few seconds.

If it were an ordinary person, there would be no struggle; jumping from the fifth floor might even offer a chance of survival.

But Shinigami had clearly considered this, so it gave Chris no time to react; the moment he hadn't made up his mind, the roof beam above him suddenly broke and crashed down.

It was fortunate that he was only staying in an ordinary small hotel, not a large shopping mall.

The broken roof beam weighed at most a few hundred kilograms, and even with large chunks of rebar and concrete, it was only one or two tons.

When that thing crashed towards Chris, he casually swatted it aside.

Then the hotel Chris was staying in suddenly collapsed, and he was completely buried in the hotel's ruins.

By the time he crawled out from the thick concrete, Chris was absolutely certain he had arrived in the Final Destination world.

What Chris couldn't understand, however, was how he ended up on Shinigami's list in the first place.

While Chris couldn't figure it out, Dumpling, who was watching the show, knew perfectly well.

Through the wristwatch on Chris's hand, Dumpling had confirmed his guess.

"Sure enough, that Shinigami is the error correction mechanism of that world. In front of Chris, this invader, those guys who originally disrupted the world seem insignificant."

Dumpling took a sip of dragon blood beverage, and the abundant energy made his mind exceptionally clear, and in an instant, he understood the underlying logic of the Death God World.

However, the reason it happened so quickly was also thanks to the fact that their world also had a Shinigami.

The first time he discovered that guy, Dumpling even curiously caught one.

Unfortunately, just as he was about to conduct further research, that fat guy Pete took him away to take a bath.

Otherwise, he would have already gained a deep understanding of the death domain, and might even have been able to personally visit Hell or the Underworld!

Sighing regretfully, Dumpling continued to watch Chris's unfortunate encounters.

Unfortunately, Shinigami seemed to realize that it couldn't do anything to Chris, so it temporarily chose to retreat.

This gave Chris time to collect himself.

Taking the five hundred thousand dollars in compensation from the hotel, Chris chose to check into a high-end hotel this time.

Then he took a nice bath, changed into comfortable clothes, and then quietly sat in the hotel lobby.

Temporarily unable to deal with Shinigami, Chris was already preparing to make money from Shinigami.

Chris could feel Shinigami brewing a big move, but he currently had no clue about Shinigami, didn't even know what that thing was, and had no way to counteract it.

So Chris sat on the ruins and thought for a moment, then decided to first use Shinigami to earn compensation, and then use the money to find enough professionals to help research Shinigami.

Although he didn't know if this method would be useful, it was the only idea Chris could come up with.

However, Chris's idea was good, but he somewhat underestimated the time Shinigami would take to brew its big move.

By the time he woke up from a nap in the hotel lobby, Shinigami's targeted arrival had not materialized.

Helpless, Chris immediately took out twenty thousand dollars, handed it to the Hotel Manager nearby, and said, "Extend my stay for two months, and now go get me something to eat."

"Alright, sir!"

The Hotel Manager didn't expect such a pleasant surprise. He had originally wondered why this distinguished guest didn't go to his room to sleep, but insisted on resting in the lobby.

But when the other party pulled out twenty thousand dollars, the Hotel Manager felt guilty about his previous disrespectful thoughts.

The customer is God, and what God wants to do is not something a mere mortal like him could understand.

The Hotel Manager took the banknotes and lightly slapped his own face, while secretly thinking, 'I truly deserve this punishment!'

Seeing the Hotel Manager's inexplicable behavior, Chris shook his head and sighed softly, what a dedicated employee! Too bad he's an idiot.

After eating and drinking his fill, Chris walked out of the hotel, preparing to see what the rules of Shinigami's attacks on him were.

At the same time, Chris also wanted to investigate whether this world was truly the Final Destination world.

Although through these few bizarre accidents, Chris already had an eighty percent certainty that this was the Death God World, to truly confirm it, he still needed to find some tangible proof.

Chris went to an internet cafe, paid for a computer, casually stomped out the cigarette butt the internet cafe attendant had left near the wires, and walked straight to the computer.

After searching online for the Flight 180 disaster and finding nothing, Chris immediately became puzzled.

"Is this not the Death God World?"

Then Chris checked the date, it was May 14, 2000.

Because he didn't know the exact date of the Flight 180 explosion and guessed it might not have happened yet, Chris then searched for the suspension bridge disaster and the Skyview Tower Restaurant.

This time, relevant information appeared, and from this, Chris was completely certain that this was the Death God World!

However, even though he had confirmed the world he was in, Chris, who had watched all six Final Destination movies, still didn't know how to counteract Shinigami.

Because among all the characters in the Final Destination series, it seemed only one person truly survived.

Even Iris, the old woman with the strongest precognition, the best mind, and explosive execution, only managed to barely survive in the deep mountains and old forests by being familiar with Shinigami's operations.

As for the mysterious black coroner in the earlier films, his true identity was revealed in the sixth film.

He was not at all the character that netizens had originally predicted, like a Shinigami agent.

That guy was just a lucky survivor, like Iris's descendant, whose life Iris had managed to save through her own efforts.

So after much thought, Chris decided to start with Iris, who was most familiar with Shinigami, to see what information she had gathered over the years while opposing Shinigami.

The Skyview Tower Restaurant incident was quite famous back then, and Chris quickly found news about Iris, who was directly involved.

Then he discovered news that after the Skyview Tower incident decades ago, she had developed mental problems and had been constantly preventing her family from going out.

Chris then traced the most recent news and found her place of residence.
