Chapter 218: Wang Qjang’s Funeral? You Want Me to Host
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“In any case, remember, if you encounter any black cat in the future, stay far away. This black cat represents something ominous!” The old man’s tone in the last sentence was very grave!
Upon hearing this tone, Li Yidao and the others were stunned!
Ominous? What did that mean?
“Alright, you don’t need to understand so much now. Three days later, let this little girl come with us.”
“This mark should still have about a week. I hope everything will be okay after we reach our destination this time.”
“If it’s really too late at that time… then we can only try to dig it out.”
Dig it out for real?
The old man’s words were casual, but to Sister Zhou and even Li Yidao, they were incredibly shocking!
Dig it out?
How?
But the old man didn’t say anything more to them and had already turned to leave.
Watching the old man’s departing figure, Li Yidao fell into contemplation.
He knew the old man wouldn’t come over in person unless the matter was absolutely not simple!
Otherwise, with the old man’s current undisturbed heart, why would he come in person?
There must be something he truly felt.
Li Yidao never truly understood the old man, and he knew he was almost impossible to comprehend now.
The mystery of the old man, at least, wasn’t something he could understand at the moment.
Leaving aside other matters, the old man’s originally displayed 80% death rate had now unexpectedly changed to 75%!
This was the first person!
And the only person, without any intervention from Li Yidao, whose death probability would change in the death notification!
Only the old man!
Only some detailed information from the Death Investigation might change, and that was under the premise of his own participation!
But now…
The old man’s death rate had actually decreased on its own!
Naturally, this was a good thing!
But this kind of good thing made Li Yidao feel infinite pressure!
On the remaining day, there were no further unexpected incidents.
Since the old man had mentioned bringing Sister Zhou along after three days and had also stated that Sister Zhou had a week, Li Yidao believed in this information.
So, Li Yidao relaxed a bit.
On that night, Qi Yuqiang came.
In the end, he brought a few lists.
Not many people.
Only three.
Li Yidao didn’t bother investigating who they were or why Qi Yuqiang only brought information on three people.
But he had kept his promise.
He took action!
Blade of Death!
Two of the individuals had death notifications, so it only consumed a small amount of lifespan.
However, one person not only had no death notification but also cost Li Yidao ten times the usual price!
Fortunately…
This person with the tenfold cost was already quite old, and Li Yidao only used up a little over 100 years of lifespan.
He had just received a thousand years of lifespan.
Li Yidao’s provisions were abundant now!
After Li Yidao reviewed the information or, more accurately, moved the information of the three individuals from one place to another, Qi Yuqiang hastily left.
As for whether there would be any escalation in subsequent events or an improvement in the combat stance, that wasn’t something Li Yidao was contemplating.
For him!
What he needed to think about now was how to enhance his own strength!
The next day, amid drowsiness, Li Yidao was awakened by the persistent ringing of his phone.
Frowning, he wondered, “Strange number?”
Given that Li Yidao’s business was practically nonexistent at his store, encountering an unknown number made him initially consider rejecting the call.
However…
In the end, he chose to answer.
“Hello, is this Brother Dao?”
The voice on the other end sounded a bit nervous.
Brother Dao?
Li Yidao furrowed his brow.
Was this someone who found him online?
But how did they have his phone number?
Although he had provided a phone number when registering on the platform, that number was currently turned off.
Li Yidao had a specific number solely for registering accounts or platforms.
Apart from exchanges between friends, his personal phone number hadn’t been shared with anyone.
In this situation, if someone knew his number, it meant they likely got it from a friend.
“I’m Li Yidao. What’s up?”
Upon hearing Li Yidao’s response, it was evident that the caller breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she spoke softly, “Brother Dao, it’s like this. I’m Wang Qiang’s aunt… Wang Qiang passed away last night, and they all said I should find you so that Wang Qiang can depart more peacefully.” What in the world?
Li Yidao was momentarily stunned.
Wang Qiang had passed away?
If he remembered correctly, he had used the Hand of God on him, extending his lifespan for another day.
He shouldn’t have died so soon, at most ending up in a vegetative state.
“How did he die?” Li Yidao inquired, puzzled.
The caller seemed somewhat helpless as she explained, “The hospital says Wang Qiang won’t be coming back. He’s considered brain-dead, only capable of being a vegetable for the rest of his life. Even his ability for autonomous breathing is gone. His family has no one left, and he owed a lot of debts outside. There’s simply no money for his treatment. I’m also a disabled person, relying on welfare to survive…”
“So… so…”
As she spoke, Wang Qiang’s aunt began to cry.
No matter what, he was still a life. Wang Qiang was her family.
As long as he was still breathing, he occupied a place in the world.
But when this person was gone, everything truly vanished.
So, at this moment, her heart was inevitably filled with sorrow.
However…
Li Yidao didn’t have the time to comprehend her grief.
Instead, he voiced his confusion, “Then why are you looking for me? Do you want me to preside over Wang Qiang’s funeral?”
He was genuinely puzzled; no matter what, they shouldn’t be seeking him to preside over a funeral, right?
After all, the relationship between him and Wang Qiang wasn’t that simple.
As Wang Qiang’s aunt, she should know something.
At least, she could have learned something from online comments.
But…
The fact remained that she had come to find Li Yidao.
“Don’t worry, I might not be able to afford you a high fee, but we can keep it simple.”
“Wang Qiang still has some savings, and I heard he owed loansharks, not the nicest people. I don’t plan to settle with them; you can have all of it. I don’t want anything. There should be several tens of thousands of yuan, which should be enough, right?”
Li Yidao was taken aback…
This aunt.
Was she genuinely kind-hearted, or was there more to it?
Or was Wang Qiang on good terms with her before his passing?
She was currently surviving on welfare.
Now, she was refusing money, just to arrange a funeral for Wang Qiang.
This made Li Yidao hesitate. However…
Li Yidao still didn’t want to accept.
Wang Xinyue’s matter was a thorn in Li Yidao’s heart.
If it weren’t for Wang Xinyue’s explosive sacrifice before, they might have already become the objects of someone else’s funeral. So, he would never preside over Wang Qiang’s funeral!
Such people should go to hell!
So, Li Yidao didn’t hesitate and was about to reject the other person.
“Sorry, I…”
However…
His words were only halfway spoken!
Suddenly, a notification sound from the system echoed in his mind.
It left him completely stunned!
