Terminal Lucidity

At that moment, passersby were starting to gather one after another.

The gruesome scene definitely sent goosebumps down their spines, and thunderous screams and shouts filled the chaotic scene...

"What are you staring at?! Call the ambulance! Any delay and she might die!"

"Right, right, hurry!"

"You guys call the ambulance, I'll call the police. Quick!"

"She's really unlucky. To get into an accident at such a young age. Who knows if she might end up paralyzed!"

"Look at that pool of blood on the ground. That's scary. I wonder how bad her wounds are?"

Everyone around who was commenting was sympathetic toward her.

However, no one expected Shen Chen, who was still rolling her eyes, to suddenly come back to life...

She just picked up the money and valuables on the ground before she stood up and smiled faintly at the surrounding people.

Her eyes had always been sharp, and she had done some calculations based on the speed of the car. Fifteen meters was enough for the car to stop.

The fake accident was made to look very realistic.

Smiling like that on such a night was almost too eerie.

Plus, her body, face, and head were all stained with blood as if she was a ghost that had crawled out of hell!

Everyone present was stunned by her ability to move...

They stood in a stupor, and it was not until Shen Chen had disappeared from sight did someone realize something was off.

"A swindler!"

"Ah, that person's a swindler!"

"Huh... what are you on about? Have you seen such a wounded swindler before?"

"Have you ever seen such a bloodied person walk normally? She was hit so hard! How did none of her bones crack, and how could she still walk?!"

"What do you guys know. Haven't you heard that some people experience terminal lucidity when they are about to die?"

"Terminal lucidity?"

"Yeah! Terminal lucidity means that before someone dies, their body is restored to its original state, or maybe even better. But after ten minutes or maybe half an hour later, they die..."

"Oh..."

"No wonder that lady was able to walk away just like that. It was terminal lucidity, I guess."

"Ah..."

Now that the two parties involved in the accident were no longer there, the bystanders started to move away.

As for the victim, they could only assume that it was a case of terminal lucidity.

Yet, no one noticed that a sports car had stopped not too far away.

In the car, Shi Yu broke into a malicious smile.

'Shen Chen, Shen Chen…'

'Interesting…'

'Very interesting!'

As Shen Chen left the scene, there was a glimmer in her clear and brilliant eyes.

She counted the cash in her hand, which amounted to a full thirty thousand.

Gently shaking the cash, she smiled in gratification.

Soon, a bizarre siren broke through the night.

The alternating high and low pitches repeated as the siren blared. It was the familiar sound of an ambulance siren...

Just as Shen Chen made her escape, the ambulance and police arrived.

The fat man, who had knocked someone down, clearly did not even dare to drive his own car now. Instead, he returned in a police car.

He stumbled out of the car and almost fell face first.

Luckily, a few of the traffic officers reacted quickly and helped him to stabilize himself.

The crowd had left long ago, leaving only a pool of blood.

The fat driver was stunned for a moment because the woman he knocked down had disappeared...

Aside from an emptied wallet and his identity card on the ground, both his money and valuables were all missing.
