Chapter 38: Death Comes Knocking (I)
Alex had a bad feeling.
He shook his head, thinking he was overthinking things.
On the way back to the line, he inadvertently looked up.
A bolt of lightning lit up the distant sky.
A storm seemed to be brewing.
...
On the plane.
William put away his bag and buckled his seat belt casually.
"Hello, sir. Is this child with you?"
A gentle voice spoke.
William turned his head and saw a pair of shapely legs wearing skin-toned stockings.
He looked up and found a blonde flight attendant.
She was smiling at him.
"Yes, she is."
After getting a confirmed answer, the flight attendant pointed at Emma.
"You can't do this, sir."
At this moment beside William, Emma's hands were tied with rope.
"Oh, I specially prepared the pink rope she likes. Look, she's very happy."
William glimpsed Emma glaring at him sideways, so he hurriedly pinched her cheeks into a smile.
Hearing this, the flight attendant almost choked.
"Phew."
She took a deep breath and smiled again.
"Sir, I mean this is dangerous. If you insist on doing this, I will have to ask the air marshal to communicate with you."
"Sorry, I'll take it off right away."
William immediately untied Emma, and only then did the flight attendant nod and leave.
"Miscalculation. I should have covered it with clothes just now."
William reviewed this mistake.
Although he had reached a verbal agreement with Emma earlier.
But they were tens of thousands of meters in the air. If this girl changed her mind and did something, it wouldn't be a joke.
It would be too late for regrets then.
That was why William tied Emma up.
After the small interlude, the plane soon closed the cabin doors.
While waiting for takeoff, a noise suddenly erupted in the cabin.
"I really saw it! This plane will crash!"
Alex shouted and jumped into the aisle, attracting the attention of people around him.
William also turned his head and saw that the troublemaker was surrounded by young people.
They seemed to be students from a high school.
Soon several flight attendants arrived.
"Hey, passenger, you can't joke like that!"
"Alex, calm down!"
But Alex was oblivious, still emotional.
In another seat.
A young man in a white T-shirt couldn't stand it anymore and stood up.
"Carter! Don't go." The lady beside him called out.
But Carter shook off his girlfriend's hand, rushed to Alex, and pushed him hard.
"Shut up, you jerk! Do you want us all to be kicked off?!"
The two soon started fighting.
The air marshal arrived and separated the two sides.
"Hey, you two, if you continue like this, I will have to ask you to leave."
"You don't need to ask, I'll get off myself!" Alex pushed everyone away and walked towards the cabin door surrounded by air marshals.
Carter was furious inside and immediately chased after him.
For a time, several others followed.
Among them was a woman in blue, who seemed to be the leading teacher of this group of young people.
William waved his hand, and the previous flight attendant soon walked over.
"Excuse me, what were they arguing about just now?"
The flight attendant seemed hesitant, but after a moment, she leaned into William's ear.
The latter only felt a fragrance blowing in his face, followed by the flight attendant's voice in his ear.
"A passenger has a psychological problem. To avoid affecting the flight, we had to ask him to leave."
William raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
Psychological problem? Isn't that right up my alley!
So he told her his idea (to help).
"Thank you for your kindness, but that passenger should have a fear of flying. He actually said he foresaw the plane crashing."
The flight attendant chuckled here, revealing white teeth.
"Our plane has been flying safely for 15 years. Such a thing is impossible."
Hearing this, William immediately reached for his waist.
Click.
He unbuckled his seat belt and helped Emma too.
Then he pulled her hand and stood up.
"Sir, what are you doing?"
"I suddenly remembered something important!" William replied with a smile.
Ignoring the flight attendant's call, he walked quickly to the aisle.
As soon as he heard the flight attendant set up a death flag, William didn't hesitate and decided to leave first.
Saying such things before the plane takes off, and in an American horror world with ghosts and monsters.
Such a combination equals—DANGER!
So William reacted on instinct.
At the same time, he also found the scene just now seemed familiar.
William thought while walking.
Just as he reached the cabin door, a girl suddenly bumped into him from behind.
Seeing her about to fall, William reached out and caught her.
"Thank you, I'm fine."
The girl thanked him and didn't stay, holding her book and walking away quickly.
But in that brief encounter, William recognized her face.
...
Departure Hall.
William and Emma came out of the boarding gate.
The girl who bumped into him just now was sitting on a chair.
If he guessed correctly, the other party should be Clear Rivers—
The heroine of Final Destination.
Looking at the others in the hall now.
The male protagonist Alex, the leading teacher Lewton, and the jock Carter...
Isn't this exactly the beginning of the original movie?
"Such bad luck..."
William didn't expect to encounter this just by going out temporarily.
"Besides, I remember their destination should be Paris?"
...
On the other side.
Ms. Lewton tried to communicate with the air marshal, wanting him to be lenient.
But the latter was firm, stating that Alex and the others could not board again.
Helpless, Lewton could only instruct another leading teacher to go first.
She stayed here to accompany the students and take the next flight.
"Alex, what happened exactly?" Lewton asked, sitting on a chair.
"I... I really saw it. The fuselage shook..."
According to him, he foresaw a scene on the plane just now.
In the scene, shortly after takeoff, the airliner malfunctioned—the wing exploded, causing a fire.
"The plane exploded in the sky, and we all died."
Alex looked terrified.
By the window, Carter and his girlfriend were watching the plane taxi onto the runway.
Hearing Alex's words and thinking of his ruined vacation.
Carter was furious and turned to rush at Alex again.
Aside, William was also recalling constantly.
He remembered that this work began with an air crash, and only a few people survived in the end.
But in the following period, these survivors also died in various bizarre accidents.
As if they were on Death's list.
Only Clear survived until the end (of the first movie).
Among many American horror works, the mortality rate of this series is also among the top.
At the same time, William also remembered that the characters in the original work died from various easily overlooked details.
For example, walking under a construction building and being smashed into meat paste by an accidentally falling building material.
Or causing a fire due to carelessness while cooking at home, and finally being burned alive.
Because these accidents are everywhere in daily life.
So this series is also jokingly called by many people—don't dare to get out of bed for three days after watching.
But William also remembered that these accidents in the original drama had omens before they happened.
As long as they are utilized reasonably, death can be avoided temporarily.
Just as he was thinking about specific details.
Boom!
The glass of the departure hall was suddenly shattered.
William turned around.
He saw a fireball in the distant night sky, illuminating the nearby sky red.
