I Did Many Dangerous Things After Knowing When I Would Die

Chapter 25: Jack London Wakes Up

In H City’s St. Mary’s Hospital, ICU room 1303, a man with an oxygen mask suddenly opened his eyes.

He quickly sat up from the bed, pulled off the oxygen mask, and panted heavily as he scanned the hospital ward.

He found his name written on his hospital gown –Jack London.

“Am I… in the hospital?” He mumbled as he looked around with a confused expression.

He looked down and observed his body, and realized that it was unfamiliar. If there had been a mirror nearby, he would’ve been able to tell that his eyes contained a woman’s gaze in a man’s body.

It was not Jack London who had woken up.

It was the woman in red, who had taken over his body!

She was clearly not used to this man’s body. As she got off the bed, she stumbled and plummeted to the ground.

In an instant, the equipment around the hospital bed issued a buzzing alarm, and the entire corridor flashed with red emergency signs.

A panicked expression grew across her face. She attempted to stand up again, but found that this body’s limbs were weak, and she could not exert any strength at all.

It was not that Jack London’s physical body was injured too badly.

Rather, it was that the woman in red’s soul was too weak.

Yesterday, in order to stop Jack London from approaching the coffin in the tomb, she had been forced to reveal herself in an attempt to scare him away.

However, she had not expected for this man to be so bold, refusing to leave and continuing to probe ahead.

There was no other way. She could only transform into her physical body to attack him.

However, unexpectedly at the critical moment, the black gas in the tomb had attacked her, causing her soul to be injured.

To ensure that her soul would not be contaminated, the woman in red was forced to temporarily attach herself to this man.

That was how she had fallen into a coma along with this person.

Now that she had woken up, having been away from the tomb for too long, her soul had not been nourished by the Yin qi and had become increasingly weak.

She needed to return to the cemetery as soon as possible, otherwise her soul was at risk of fading…

Not only that, now that she was gone for so long, others might have attempted to sneak into the tomb and without her protection, they might have gotten hurt, or worse, the evil spirit in the tomb might have been released.

The woman thought anxiously.

Right then, the door of the ward was flung open.

A few nurses in white uniforms rushed in. The first thing they saw was Jack London, who had fallen to the ground.

All of a sudden, all the nurses beamed excitedly and ran toward Jack.

“Mr. Jack, you’re awake?! That’s great!”

“Mr. Jack, don’t move. Let me help you up!”

“Mr. Jack, it’s great that you’re okay!”

“Thank god!”

The nurses were overjoyed as they hurriedly helped Jack London up and carried him back to his bed.

Everyone in the room knew about Jack London’s deeds, so they were extremely enthusiastic when they heard that he had awoken.

Of course, they were not in a hurry to bombard a sick patient with questions, but they couldn’t contain themselves and explained the situation of John Jones’ team and the Criminal Investigation Division’s involvement to him.

“Mr. Jack London, did you know? After you were injured, the mayor made a big deal of your case and dispatched a professional investigation team to the cemetery in order to find out the truth about the ghost that attacked you.

“However, two members of the expedition team were also assaulted in the same way as you were and they succumbed to their deaths.”

The nurse breathlessly and briefly described some of the experiences of John’s expedition team on the night of the livestream.

As for the woman in red who was using Jack’s body as a host, she was immediately appalled.

Black gas? Corpse worms?

Oh no!

It was the man in the coffin! It’s a sign that he’s attempting to get out…

“So, what’s the situation now? Have the remaining expedition team members been saved?”

The woman in red could not help but ask through Jack London’s voice.

When the group of nurses heard Jack London’s urgent question, they were stunned at first, but they quickly answered.

“As of now, the members of the expedition team still have not been rescued.

“But the people from the Criminal Investigation Division are already searching for them. I believe that it won’t be long before they are taken into safety.”

“That’s right! The people from the Criminal Investigation Division are broadcasting their operation right now. We can see their progress!”

When the nurse said this, she eagerly whipped out her phone from her chest pocket, and the woman in red was left speechless.

‘Broadcast?

‘What is a broadcast?’

“It’s this livestream. Mr. Jack, look!”

The woman in Jack’s body looked over and saw the image of the cemetery displayed on the small screen of the phone, and she covered her mouth in shock.

How could this thing fit the entire cemetery into it?

Soon after, the livestream played on the screen.

More than twenty officers and soldiers of the Criminal Investigation Division could be seen wearing gas masks and standing among the blazing fire. They were using small flamethrowers to shower the disgusting creepy-crawlies in flames.

The entrance of the tomb, which had been covered by the carcasses of the black corpse worms, caught the woman’s attention.

She could see the tunnel through the pile of dead bugs; it was like a slithering python, undulating and meandering.

The entrance of the tunnel seemed to be narrowing, but she could still see clearly that black bugs were constantly pouring out of it.

She narrowed her eyes toward the entrance of the tunnel.

‘These aren’t the corpse worms from underneath the tomb… These are Fire Qilin bugs from the coffin!

‘The coffin has been opened!

‘Who did it? Is that wretched being still beneath the tomb?’

The red-dressed woman stared at the swarm of packed black bugs with a panicked gaze.

All kinds of indescribable emotions, including both joy and fear, mixed within her heart.

The nurses looked at Jack in confusion, not knowing what he was thinking of.

Meanwhile, at this moment, a few members of the Criminal Investigation Division realized that the corpse bugs were almost wiped out, so they boldly walked towards the tunnel.

However, just as they approached the tunnel…

Whoosh!

More corpse bugs that blotted out the sky and covered the earth spurted out like blood gushing from an open wound!

The corpse bugs this time were bigger in size, and the teeth in their mouths were sharper!

A few members of the Criminal Investigation Division were instantly feasted on. As they were turned into a bloody mess, they screamed in pain.

‘The Fire Qilin bugs are being sent out… that guy in the coffin wants to come out!

‘We have to stop the being from breaking out of the tomb!’

The woman in red thought in fear as her eyes were glued to this scene in horror.

She did not hesitate. She instantly grabbed the hands of the surrounding nurses and shouted, “Quickly take me to the cemetery, please!

“Hurry!”
