Chapter 492: On the brink of death, looking at the vast ocean
Yunari stood on the edge of a rugged cliff, the sea breeze lifting the hem of her tattered kimono, like a butterfly about to wither.
Tears washed out two clear marks on her face, and a salty taste spread across her lips.
She tremblingly pulled out the pink flip phone with a Pikachu sticker on it from her pocket, and the screen showed "110".
"Moshi Moshi... Is this the police station?" Yunari's voice was weak and trembling with despair, as if she would collapse in the next second.
"Yes, this is the police station. How can I help you?" The police operator's formulaic voice came from the receiver, sounding calm.
"I...I want to commit suicide..."
Yunari took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions, "Please... please help me collect the body..."
There was a moment's silence on the other end of the line, and then the police operator's serious voice rang out: "Suicide is blasphemous!"
"Miss, please calm down. We have sent patrol officers to your location."
"Blasphemy?" Yunari smiled bitterly and hung up the phone.
She felt helpless and angry. Even suicide would be accused of blasphemy. Is there anything else she can do in this world?
The sea breeze was howling, and the waves were hitting the rocks, making a deafening sound.
Yunari slowly closed her eyes, feeling the salty smell brought by the sea breeze, as if she was in another world.
Just as she was about to jump, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a dark shadow floating on the sea, slowly drifting towards her.
The dark shadow appeared and disappeared on the rough sea, like a corpse.
"What the hell? No way, this is so unlucky?" Yunari cursed in her heart. She didn't want to be entangled with a corpse after her death.
In order to avoid this embarrassing situation, she decided to deal with the "corpse" first.
Yunari climbed down the steep rock face carefully.
The cold sea water soaked her clothes, and the biting chill made her shiver.
After finally swimming to the "corpse", Yunari discovered that this was not an ordinary corpse.
It was wrapped in a black bag that looked bulging. I don't know what was inside.
Driven by curiosity, Yunari dragged the black bag to the shore with great effort.
She untied the knot on the bag with trembling hands, and a strange smell hit her face.
"What smells so bad?" Yunari covered her nose, frowned, and opened the bag completely.
In the dim light, she saw that there was a... person in the bag?
Yunari was so scared that she stepped back and sat down on the ground.
Suddenly, the person in the bag moved and let out a faint groan.
"Uh……"
Yunari's eyes widened, her heart beating wildly.
The sea breeze was like a malicious pimp, tugging at the hem of Yunari's kimono, making a teasing "rustling" sound.
She stood on the edge of a cliff, with bottomless darkness beneath her feet and the roar of waves hitting the rocks in her ears.
She slowly closed her eyes and clasped her hands together like a devout believer.
But he was praying to the god of death: "Amitabha, I hope I can be born into a good family in my next life, and don't let me suffer this kind of humiliation again!"
"Swish, swish--" The sea breeze continued to blow, as if mocking her unrealistic wishes.
Yunari took a deep breath, and a stream of salty air filled her lungs.
She suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes full of determination, like a warrior about to go to the battlefield.
"I'm done with this lousy place! I'm going down to the sea to chat with the Dragon King!"
"Hmm? Something's wrong!" Yunari's attention was suddenly attracted by a slowly moving black spot on the sea.
The black spot was looming on the rough sea surface, and it rose and fell with the waves.
Like a bloated corpse, it was floating towards the place where she was about to "jump into the sea".
"Damn, this is so unlucky!" Yunari's face instantly turned dark, like the bottom of a pot.
"I'm ready to commit suicide for love, and you, a damn bastard, have to join in the fun?" She was furious, feeling that her suicide plan had been ruthlessly interrupted.
"No, I absolutely cannot let this thing affect my reincarnation!"
She turned around abruptly, her face full of "unhappiness" and "determination".
The tragic feeling of intending to die bravely was now completely replaced by the obsession of "I must get rid of this troublesome guy."
"Want to sink into the sea with me? No way!" Yunari's eyes were as sharp as a knife. She snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the bottom of the cliff.
The sea breeze messed up her hair, making it stick to her face in a messy manner, making her look a little disheveled, but there was an unmistakable light shining in her eyes.
"This damn corpse is so annoying!" she muttered as she carefully climbed down the steep rock wall.
The rough surface of the rock rubbed her palms painfully, and the cold sea water splashed against her ankles, making her shiver with the biting chill.
She was like an agile monkey, jumping nimbly on the cliffs, completely disregarding the danger.
Finally, she arrived at the beach and the water reached her calves.
She didn't care about her wet kimono and walked straight to the beach, her eyes fixed on the black unidentified object, as if she was looking at a piece of garbage that needed to be cleaned up.
Yunari kicked the clogs on her feet hard with her toes. With two "clicks", the clogs drew an arc in the air and fell into the sea with a muffled sound.
She walked barefoot slowly into the sea. The cold sea water was like countless needles pricking her feet, making her gasp.
She squinted her eyes, looking at the black object that was getting closer and closer, and a strange feeling came over her heart.
She moved closer, and just then, the black object suddenly moved.
Yunari took a deep breath, lifted the wet hem of her kimono, and stepped resolutely into the freezing cold sea water.
"Oh my god, I'm freezing to death!" She couldn't help but swear. The sea water was like thousands of ice needles piercing her legs, making her shiver uncontrollably.
But she did not retreat at all. Instead, she quickened her pace and swam towards the black object.
"Plop, plop—" Yunari was like a landlubber, flapping in the water and splashing water everywhere.
The cold sea water poured into her mouth, and the salty taste made her feel nauseous.
"Cough cough cough..." The sea water choked her and made her cough, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted, like a small boat struggling in the stormy waves, moving forward towards her goal with difficulty.
"Huff, huff..." Yunari finally swam to the black object and found that it was a man in black who was stuck in the crevice of the reef.
He was motionless, his face pale, as if he had lost all vital signs.
Without thinking too much, Yunari grabbed the man's arm with all her might and tried to pull him out from the reef.
"Hey, hey..." Yunari used all her strength and finally pulled the man down from the reef.
However, at this moment, a huge wave came towards them and swept them into the sea.
"Gurgle gurgle..." The sea water surged, and Yunari felt like a fallen leaf, being ruthlessly sucked into the whirlpool.
She struggled desperately, but to no avail and could only let the waves do whatever they wanted.
After an unknown amount of time, Yunari was washed onto a gravel shallows.
She lay on the ground, coughing violently and spitting out mouthfuls of sea water.
He was soaked and looked like a drowned rat.
After a long while, Yunari slowly got up and staggered to the man in black.
She looked at the man carefully and found that there was not a single water stain on his body.
Moreover, his eyes were slightly open, and there seemed to be a hint of thought and vigilance in his eyes, as if time had been suspended for him.
"This guy... could he be resurrecting from the dead?" Yunari was shocked, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
She subconsciously took a few steps back, ready to leave this strange place quickly.
But at this moment, she saw the man in black's eyelids move, as if he blinked.
"Am I dazzled?" Yunari rubbed her eyes and looked at the man in black again.
Suddenly, the man in black sat up abruptly, his eyes wide open, gasping for breath, his face full of horror.
"Ahem...where...where is this?" His voice was hoarse and contained a hint of fear.
Yunari was stunned, like a quail struck by lightning, standing there blankly, looking at the man who had come back from the dead in front of her.
"Who... who are you?" The man in black stared at Yunari warily.
