After hearing the situation from Eric, Rudy suddenly remembered something.
‘I… remember now… This incident happened in my past life too. Eventually, the plane ran out of fuel, so the pilots took the plane to the sea for an emergency landing. In case if the landing went wrong, at least it wouldn’t crash on the city.
Unfortunately, the plane crashed on its way to the sea and crashed in the area near the beach. All 319 passengers, 8 crew members, and two pilots… died.
That crash was in the headlines on every news channel and social media. The clip from that guy’s live stream also went viral, and everyone blamed him. He died in the crash, too, so they could do nothing.
I remember reading the news, but I brushed it off like any other major headline. That’s what everyone does. No matter how many casualties there were, people forget about it in a few days.
The news channel gets something more interesting, and they make that their next headline. How was I supposed to remember a random plane crash from my past life from years ago?
But wait… Eleanor… nothing happened to her. She made it back safely. Yes, she came home later that day.’ Please visit ????wℯ??o?el. ???
“Are you sure she is on that plane?” Rudy asked Eric. “Maybe you got the wrong flight?”
“No, she is in it. I am the one who booked that flight for her last night.”
‘I am missing something. Elena was safe, but how? Something must have happened. Why can’t I remember it?’
“What if she missed her flight?” Rudy wondered.
Eric let out a groan and showed his phone to Rudy. The screen had the text conversation between Eric and Eleanor.
The last message was from Eleanor early in the morning that said— and Rudy read, “Hey, I am about to get into my flight. I almost missed it. I woke up from a call from an unknown number, and thanks to that, I made it on time. I will contact you once the flight lands.”
‘That’s right! Elena had missed the flight because she couldn’t wake up on time. And thanks to that, she didn’t get on the flight and died in the crash. She didn’t receive a call in my past life because I am the one who called her early this morning from Maria’s phone. She will die because of me!’
“What should I do, Rudy? Should I tell Erika? She doesn’t know anything about this! What if something happens to mom?!” Eric panicked with a pale face.
“Calm down. Nothing will happen. The pilots and the crews are trained for situations like this. There is no need to worry. Everything will be fine.”
“How can you say that?! Would you still say and think the same thing if it was ‘your’ mom on that flight?!”
“Yes,” Rudy said with a composed look on his face. “We will gain nothing from worrying. Nothing is going to change if you worry or you cry. What’s supposed to happen will happen. Just leave everything to… to fate.”
“I am going to the airport in the next city!”
After saying that, Eric rushed to his house to get Eleanor’s car and drive it to the next city.
A second later, Eric returned while asking, “Rudy, can you come with… me? Where did he go?”
However, Rudy was nowhere to be seen.
Rudy had teleported to the next city and was flying towards the plane.
‘It’s been since the drone hit the plane and damaged the engine, so I can’t fix it using my restoration ability. The plane is going to crash no matter what I do— because that’s supposed to happen. Everyone in that plane is supposed to die, so I couldn’t care less about them.
However, Elena is not supposed to die. I only have to save her.’
Rudy landed on top of the plane and scanned it with his vision ability. Once he had located Elena, he went inside through the door.
Everyone was surprised to see Rudy as they clearly saw him opening the door and entering the plane. The first ones to see him were the flight attendants, who became cautious after seeing him.
While the passengers saw him as the curtains and the way was visible to them. The passengers were making a ruckus after the pilot announced that they would be doing an emergency landing.
That was an obvious and natural reaction. While some of them were cooperating with the flight attendants, the others were making the situation worse.
On top of that, the man who was live streaming was being beaten to death by the angry passengers. Even before the plane’s engine failed and they encountered a malfunction in the system, some of the passengers were asking the man to stop live streaming.
But the man replied with, “It’s just a video clip.”
However, he was lying, as they could see comments flowing on his screen. Even the viewers who were watching the live stream were asking him to stop, but the guy didn’t.
While some questioned how one can get a cell network in an airplane, some called it a fake video. It was obvious that the cell network was in range because the plane was on top of the city and preparing to land.
Regardless, the damage was already done, and now all the passengers were heading straight to their death— except one.
Amid the chaos in the plane, Elena was trying to help the flight attendants in calming down the passengers. She hadn’t seen or noticed Rudy.
“…” Rudy walked to her and pulled her away from everyone.
“…!” Elena was baffled at first and thought an angry passenger was trying to hurt her. But when she realized it was Rudy, her glare softened.
“What are you—”
Before Elena could even comprehend the situation and get her answers from Rudy, he teleported to Elena’s house.
Elena glanced around in surprise and looked at Rudy with teary eyes. She hugged him tightly and squeezed him.
Rudy hugged her back and calmly uttered, “Relax, you are safe now.”
“The passengers! You have to save them!”
“…”
“Please! There are kids on that plane! You have to save them! I know you can do it! Please! Save them!”
Rudy nodded slightly and said, “Hmm.”
[Ten seconds left before the crash.]
