Chapter 526 The Troubled New York City

That's right, the world Su Haoming is currently in is the famous "Final Destination"—

At least that's what he thought when he first arrived in this world.

As soon as he stepped out of the portal and appeared at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, he saw a plane that had just taken off explode in the sky, and the wreckage fell towards him like a meteorite.

Su Haoming's face darkened, and he immediately dodged the impact of the crashing plane wreckage, also grabbing a bewildered passerby who was also in the blast radius.

Adhering to the principle of doing good deeds anonymously, Su Haoming did not talk much with the still-shaken passerby. Instead, he left gracefully after his miraculous appearance, preparing to go to the airport to inquire about his identity in this world.

Upon arriving at the airport, he encountered six distraught high school students.

Su Haoming subconsciously sensed something was wrong, so he immediately released his divine sense to eavesdrop in secret.

Then he realized that the six little guys looked more and more familiar.

In particular, the boy named Alex seemed to have a premonition of the explosion before the plane even took off.

After a commotion, the flight attendants took decisive action and kindly helped Alex, his five classmates, and a female teacher off the plane.

Thanks to Alex, the seven lucky survivors escaped the plane crash and are currently experiencing a wave of loss and lingering fear.

However, Su Haoming, who was eavesdropping nearby, found it difficult to empathize with them.

Because he had realized the identity of this world—it was the famous horror movie series, Final Destination!
But Su Haoming had no time to gather more information. He immediately disappeared from the spot with a dark expression and returned to the place where the plane wreckage had crashed.

Sure enough, the area had been surrounded by a large number of police cars and officers.

Su Haoming scanned the area with his divine sense and discovered that the place where the police had set up a cordon not only contained the wreckage of the crashed plane, but also a section of road where a traffic accident had occurred.

The victim in this traffic accident was the unfortunate passerby he had just saved.

The other party was still somewhat shaken when he left, so he accidentally ran a red light and was hit and smashed to pieces by a large truck with failed brakes.

Without a doubt, this must also be the work of Death!
But now a problem arises: according to the original setting, the Grim Reaper's death list has an order.

Those unfortunate bystanders who died from secondary injuries caused by falling debris should be ranked last.

But for some reason, Death didn't play by the rules and targeted this unlucky guy first.

Thinking of this, Su Haoming silently mourned, but also realized something even more critical—

That means he, who should have died from the impact of the wreckage, may have already been targeted by death!

Realizing this, Su Haoming's mood soured.

He disregarded the seven main characters from the first film and immediately began to verify his guess.

Sure enough, as soon as they left the section of road cordoned off, a truck carrying timber sped by and drove right over a sewer opening whose manhole cover had been stolen.

The tires got stuck in the well, causing the vehicle to lurch and the logs behind it to fall off instantly.

The massive log, as thick as a tree trunk, was about to roll down, and it was about to crush Su Haoming right where he was.

Seeing this, Su Haoming waved his hand, manipulating the giant log to roll back to where it belonged, thus easily averting the disaster.

Passersby who had also noticed the loose wood breathed a sigh of relief.

But Su Haoming, who secretly resolved this problem, was far from happy.

Because he knew that death had already set its sights on him...

What's even more troublesome is that, according to the rules of the first part of the Bleach series, once the person ahead of you has overcome the crisis, Bleach should skip that person and move on to find the next person in order.

But in this world, it seems like Death has a death knell for him.

They completely ignored the main characters who were supposed to die and kept chasing after him.

Su Haoming, carrying the aura of death, is like a walking jinx.

In just a few hundred meters, he encountered a billboard falling from a height, a bus that crashed into him, and a near-miss shooting by robbers at a roadside supermarket.

These crises are of relatively low intensity, and with Su Haoming's strength, he can naturally resolve them easily.

However, the resulting chaos really brought bad luck to the pedestrians around him.

Su Haoming didn't want to involve innocent people anymore, so he chose to leave the city and go to a deserted place in the suburbs to confront death.

As soon as he left the city and landed on the ground, the previously still earth began to tremble, tearing open a huge crack large enough to swallow houses, triggering a significant earthquake.

Su Haoming hovered in the air, staring at the dark cracks beneath his feet, his face turning extremely grim.

He realized that even if he was far from the city, death would deal with him in a more intense way.

This was just a small earthquake with relatively concentrated energy; who knows, the next one could be a much larger earthquake, or even a meteorite from outer space.

To prevent Death from killing him with world-destroying methods, Su Haoming could only return to New York with a dark expression and voluntarily choose to endure the less severe disasters.

As a result, he discovered many more things that were not right in New York at night.

For example, masked killers are known to roam the streets and alleys of Queens.

In Manhattan's nightclubs and clubs, vampire-like creatures revel in the revelry. There are werewolves howling on rooftops at night, witches flying through the night on broomsticks, and all sorts of bizarre and powerful serial killers…

Demons danced wildly, monsters roamed freely, and Su Haoming exclaimed how exciting it was to watch.

In such a disaster-ridden New York City, it's astonishing that citizens are still going to work as usual during the day. One can't help but feel that the pressure of capital and life is indeed more terrifying than a horror movie!
Of course, aside from his feelings of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both emotion and reflection), Su Haoming also realized something else.

That is the bizarre world, which seems to be more than just "Final Destination," but a hodgepodge of many famous horror movies.

Once this is understood, Death's deliberate targeting becomes a reasonable explanation.

Since it's not a traditional Bleach movie series, it wouldn't be surprising to see any kind of fan-made content.

For Su Haoming, this was both good news and bad news.

The good news is that the Grim Reaper in this world might have methods to deal with it, such as having a personality or original body, and various ways to escape that are not found in the original work.

The bad news is that the value of the intelligence in his mind has been greatly reduced.

Death doesn't play by the rules; it might keep its eyes on him...

unlucky!

Su Haoming cursed inwardly, but he could only accept reality and, under the halo of death, vent his anger on the terrifying creatures roaming the streets.

Just like the motel he's currently in, it's his next target.

"Damn Grim Reaper, what a damn bad luck!"

Su Haoming walked out of the flames, cursing, and the sirens of fire trucks immediately filled the street.

He paused, his gaze piercing through the flames and ruins, looking at the whispering neighbors on the street and the fire trucks speeding towards him in the distance.

After a moment's thought, Su Haoming vanished in a flash, clearly not wanting to scare his next prey.

At the same time, on the street in front of the hotel, a middle-aged man in a gray suit stood there, staring grimly at the burning building in front of him.

The neighbors looked at each other in bewilderment, then came over one by one to offer words of comfort.

Judging from their titles, the middle-aged man should be the hotel owner.

Faced with the goodwill shown by the neighbors, the hotel owner forced a smile and, after some perfunctory responses, finally managed to persuade everyone to leave.

"How is this going?"

Just then, a gasp of surprise came from the street next door.

The hotel owner was taken aback upon hearing this and quickly turned around to look. Sure enough, he saw Su Haoming, who had just gotten out of the taxi and was now looking shocked.

"You...you're not in the room?"

The hotel owner asked in astonishment, "When?"

"About ten minutes ago!"

Su Haoming walked over quickly and explained with a wry smile, "I was just about to go to sleep when I suddenly realized that my cash had been stolen, so I went to the bank to withdraw some cash."

"But unexpectedly, this unfortunate accident actually saved me from death!"

At this point, he turned his head and looked at the burning hotel in front of him with a sentimental expression.

After his initial shock, he looked at the hotel owner again and asked, still somewhat shaken:

"So, sir, what exactly is going on?"

"...Perhaps it was a gas explosion!"

The hotel owner gave a perfunctory reply, then looked at him with relief and said, "Thank God you're still alive. If you had died in my hotel, I... I really wouldn't know what to do!"

"Don't worry, I will take full responsibility for all the losses this time. In addition, I will refund your hotel deposit and room fee in full, and compensate you with one thousand yuan for emotional distress. What do you think?"

"Really?" Su Haoming exclaimed in surprise, "Boss, you're such a good person!"

The hotel owner shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The equipment is old and there was a gas leak, which is my responsibility. You've already done more than enough by not suing me. What's a little compensation?"

At this point, the hotel owner paused, then slapped his forehead and said with concern:
"Oh, by the way, hotels are definitely not an option now. Do you have anywhere else to stay?"

"If you don't have one, I have a property not far away, about a 20-minute drive from here. Why don't you come with me and stay for a few nights?"

"Oh?"

Su Haoming's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed, "Then I'll trouble you, boss!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!"

The hotel owner patted Su Haoming on the shoulder with a smile, then grabbed his arm and strode toward a black Santana parked by the roadside.

With a bright smile on his face, Su Haoming obediently followed the hotel owner.

As he passed the black Santana, his gaze swept across the car, easily piercing the body and revealing numerous bloodstained tools in the trunk, including pliers, a butcher's knife, and a chainsaw...
