I Alone Am Immortal: My Rebirth and Leisurely Cultivation

Chapter 283 Did Heaven intervene?
In the driver's cab, the driver leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed.

"Damn it, are you out of your mind? We probably won't make it any further!"

The Didi driver cursed, watching the burning truck get further and further away, about to crash into the congested traffic. He was speechless at Li Yan's words. This was going to kill someone, and he said it wasn't a big deal!

Li Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and he saw the truck suddenly stop.

A sudden shower of sunshine appeared in the sky, pouring down on the road.

The flames on the truck's cargo box gradually died down.

The Didi driver rubbed his eyes, dumbfounded, and slowed down to join the crowded convoy, staring at the truck parked there.

Inside the burning carriage were piles of charred cardboard boxes—it was a courier shipment.

"Holy crap! Has the heavens intervened?"

The driver had been driving for half his life and this was the first time he had ever seen anything like it.

"maybe."

Li Yan nodded and glanced at the drivers who emerged from the crowded traffic.

Some of the people who were originally going to be rear-ended even knelt down and faced the sky.

Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu looked outside and marveled at the sight.

"Speaking of which, I bought a package the day before yesterday. Could it be on the truck?" Hua Junshu suddenly thought of this question.

"Young lady, you can take a picture, just in case," the driver said.

Although it's unclear how the car accident was avoided and how the fire was miraculously extinguished.

But this is undoubtedly a good thing for him, since traffic jams are a waste of time anyway.

If there's a car accident and it worsens the traffic, his whole day will have been wasted.

The vehicle stopped temporarily. Jiang Yingzhu, who had just woken up, wanted to see what was going on, as did Mei Mengqian and Hua Junshu.

So the group got out of the car, and Li Yan followed suit, looking behind him.

Seeing that the truck was still standing still, and that many vehicles coming from a distance were gradually filling the space around it, Mei Mengqian looked puzzled.

"Was the driver dead?"

"No, but it didn't feel good either, the airbags deployed."

An uncle who was passing by after checking the situation said.

"Young lady, you're on a trip, aren't you? You've certainly broadened your horizons this time. That car was about to crash into you, but it suddenly stopped!"

The middle-aged man gestured animatedly with his fingers, saying, "It felt like someone had just grabbed me, and then a shower came!"

"I told you, there must be gods and immortals in this world! Right?"

The older man was too overly familiar, so Jiang Yingzhu nodded in response, still a little confused.

"Isn't that a coincidence?"

“I also said that Heaven is watching what people do. Gods save cars but not people. That driver deserved it. Young lady, you look extraordinary. Would you like to buy a bracelet for protection?”

As the uncle spoke, he took out a string of cinnabar beads from his pocket.

Li Yan glared at him. "Is it appropriate for you to use my reputation to promote yourself in front of me?"

Jiang Yingzhu was speechless. "Uncle, are you a salesman in Jiangcheng?"

"No, I haven't worked in Jiangcheng for many years."

Jiang Yingzhu didn't buy anything, but saw waves of people gathering around the truck in the distance.

At first, people just watched the spectacle, but then some started taking the burned packages.

Then two or three, and finally a large group.

The middle-aged man next to me also went over and swiped two, then came over to show them off.

"Tsk tsk, a watch, a brand name one, young man. Want it? I'll sell it to you for fifty bucks."

"Shameless!" Mei Mengqian snorted angrily. Jiang Yingzhu and Hua Junshu couldn't stand it either and went back to their car.

The man frowned immediately. "What do you mean? It's not like I'm the only one taking it."

He glanced at the tall Li Yan, not wanting to cause trouble. Muttering to himself, "What's wrong with young people these days?" he left.

Li Yan continued watching from outside, when suddenly he wanted to conduct an experiment.

You can see that the first person to pick up a package, a man in his forties or fifties wearing a jacket, suddenly had his package explode.

With a loud bang, accompanied by sparks and thick smoke, everyone around was stunned.

The man in the jacket screamed in agony, his hands and face covered in blood as he bent over and howled in pain.

In an instant, the crowd that had been picking up packages scattered. Those who had already taken them dropped their items.

Some people didn't lose anything.

Nothing unexpected happened. Li Yan shook his head, opened the door, and got back into the car.

Turning around, I saw the watch on the ground.

"Today is fucking weird."

The Didi driver returned to his car, glanced at the now cleared road ahead, and used every ounce of his skill to repeatedly turn the engine off.

Seeing the driver's agitated and fearful expression from behind, Jiang Yingzhu asked in confusion:

"What's wrong, Uncle? If you can't drive, then don't drive. Take a rest first."

"That won't do, this place is evil!"

The driver took a deep breath and tried to start the engine again. "Young lady, you didn't see it just now. The first person who took the package took another one, and then the package exploded, and they lost a finger!"

Jiang Yingzhu was taken aback, then pursed her lips.

"He deserves it!"

"What do you mean 'live'? I was watching him grab that. It was a makeup box. How could that thing explode? It even catches fire and smokes!"

The driver felt this was too eerie; what was originally just a joke might now have come true.

He was glad he hadn't taken anything and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Snap! That's a divine intervention."

Mei Mengqian nodded and said earnestly:

"Will the one who started this have no descendants? That person deserves it! Those who steal should all be punished; the gods are too merciful."

The driver didn't say anything, and finally started the vehicle.

Li Yan glanced at Mengmeng through the rearview mirror, surprised to find that his little deskmate was quite the radical youth.

Perhaps it wasn't that she was a radical youth, but rather that she had transmigrated here, witnessed certain things, and become somewhat numb.

After all, no matter how many reasons there are, theft is theft.

Li Yan's gaze fell into deep thought as he began to ponder some philosophical questions.

Jiang Yingzhu, on the other hand, murmured Mengmeng's first words.

"Mengmeng, you said that so well. I'll say it next time too."

Upon hearing this, both Hua Junshu and Mei Mengqian felt a little embarrassed.

“That Zhu Zhu, I didn’t say that.”

"Who said that?"

Mencius.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingzhu immediately thought of the classical Chinese texts she had to memorize in her textbooks and lost interest in the sentence.

"cut."

The vehicle entered Jiangcheng, and on the highway, a team of traffic police impounded the truck.

Investigative experts went up to inspect it.

"So, have you figured out why it suddenly stopped?"

"We didn't find it." The investigation expert frowned. "But we did find the cause of the fire."

"Not a trace?"

“No.” The expert adjusted his glasses. “This car is like a running program that suddenly stopped, like God pressed the pause button on a video, but only pressed it.”

"And the rain in the video was also inexplicable."

Upon hearing this, the person asking the question looked puzzled. "Comrade, we must believe in science."

"If we can't detect it, it's because our technology isn't good enough!"

Li Yan yawned, withdrew his divine sense, and felt that what was said made sense.

However, the techniques for observing spiritual energy don't seem to be found in science fiction movies.

I wonder if his continued actions will develop into a discipline or profession.

Then a group of people named the related phenomenon, published papers, and summarized the patterns.

Thinking about all this, Li Yan suddenly found it quite interesting.
