Chapter 131: Brother Dao Made His Move! Brother Dao Gave A Hint!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio     Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The midday sunlight was exceptionally bright.

Li Yidao had just finished enjoying the braised pork cooked by Li Xinting and was lying comfortably on the recliner in the shop.

He had spent the entire morning contemplating and preparing some things, but he wasn’t in a hurry to take action.

After all, this matter definitely wouldn’t be resolved overnight.

It required time and course.

Moreover…

He felt that he might expend a significant amount of his lifespan in the coming time!

Whether it was in combat, healing, or personal protection, all his skills required consuming his lifespan!

Given this situation, naturally, he needed to earn as much lifespan as possible.

After an hour, he had already found an ordinary customer and a high-quality customer.

Both of them were relatively young, and if successful, they would likely contribute several decades of lifespan.

Honestly, he missed the God’s Treasure Box.

The last reward of a thousand years of lifespan still left him feeling blissful.

While watching videos, Li Yidao snacked on the fruit Li Xinting had prepared for him. He couldn’t help but appreciate the treatment.

When he stumbled upon an Al-based video game, Li Yidao marked it as uninteresting.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t real, which would affect his business expansion.

The video that followed, however, made Li Yidao shift his body involuntarily.

It was a live stream.

From it, there came hysterical screams.

“Why? Why is no one paying attention? Over a dozen people! Over a dozen lives!”

“They’ve all been buried in the mine by that heartless boss!”

“Why is no one doing anything? Today, I’m going to use my death to seek justice for my fellow workers!”

The live stream featured a middle-aged man covered in dust, his face obscured by a thick beard.

At the moment, he was standing on a high-rise building.

His eyes were crazed with crimson madness, and his mouth kept shouting.

Li Yidao was momentarily taken aback.

What was going on?

Fellow workers? Seeking justice?

[Ding! Detected super high-quality customer, ID: Miner Ermao]

[Death Status Detection: Chose extreme measures due to grief and anger to seek justice, leading to accidental death. Death probability: 100%.]

[It is advised that the host should immediately follow the super high-quality customer.]

At this point, the system’s notification sound rang out.

Li Yidao furrowed his brows.

His expression froze.

Death Investigation.

One year of lifespan consumption.

[Miner Ermao, three months ago, an accident in the mine left only him surviving out of his team of 15 people. In an attempt to seek justice for his colleagues, he climbed onto a rooftop and ultimately slipped due to an unforeseen incident, resulting in his death. Death time: XXX.]

[Detailed of death…]

As Li Yidao looked at the Death Investigation prompt displaying the time of death, his heart sank.

Five minutes!

Only five minutes left!

He took a deep breath and quickly opened the input box.

“Brother Yidao Funeral Shop: Friend, the prerequisite for helping your colleagues seek justice is that you need to stay alive. Please step away from the edge of the rooftop to ensure your safety and prevent any accidents.”

After typing this message, Li Yidao didn’t receive a death notification from the system.

He subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, he had included the word “accident” in his message, so he wasn’t sure if the system would consider it a violation.

But perhaps the groundwork he laid with his earlier statements helped, so there didn’t seem to be any issues.

Not only that, Li Yidao also directly clicked the “follow” button!

[Brother Yidao’s Funeral Shop followed you!]

It was a typical reminder template!

He believed that if the other party knew about him, they would definitely understand the meaning behind this message!

If the person was unaware of him, in the live stream, there would be someone who could recognize him. They would surely convey what he intended to say!

A 100% death probability!

Li Yidao understood that the chances of Miner Ermao surviving were slim, but he wanted to try!

First, he couldn’t bear to watch a life be lost due to darkness and malevolence!

Secondly, when he investigated Miner Ermao’s cause of death earlier, a detailed explanation revealed some information!

“Over a dozen people… at the time of discovery, all of their eyes were gouged out! Their left ears were cut off, and a pattern was carved into their backs!”

This information sent shivers down his spine!

He remembered a taboo he had once heard about!

If this incident was true, then there could indeed be a serious problem!

He needed to figure out what was going on!

To understand the specific circumstances at the time, the best breakthrough point was undoubtedly Miner Ermao in front of him!

Honestly, Li Yidao increasingly felt that this world was different.

It was vastly different from the peaceful world he had known before.

Though the societal relationships seemed similar, the world background appeared the same, the hidden aspects…

They had made him gradually realize his insignificance!

At this moment in the live stream room, after seeing Li Yidao’s reminder, Ermao subconsciously shifted his footsteps.

But he didn’t move away from the edge of the rooftop.

As for the other fans in the live stream room, they naturally recognized Li Yidao.

“D*mn! Brother Dao is here. Big brother commented, Brother Dao followed!” “Not good! This old man is in trouble! Brother Dao is taking action!”

“Brother Dao? Who’s that? This old man is in such a pitiful state, and you still have no sympathy?”

“Brother Dao made a move! Brother Dao gave a warning! Brother Dao’s words have a deeper meaning. Can someone please translate?”

“Brother Dao following proves the old man is in trouble! Brother Dao’s reminder… warns the old man to be careful of accidents if he stays too close to the edge of the rooftop!”

“D*mn it! Who’s nearby? Go check it out! After listening to the old man explain the situation earlier, I’ve already contacted the media! Old man, you have to hold on!”

“Yeah, old man, I’ve also contacted the relevant authorities for you! They’ve sent people over. You can’t give up!”

“Old man… we’re not trying to scare you. What Brother Dao has said has never been proven wrong. If you want to seek justice, if you want to wait for the media and relevant authorities to arrive, you need to move away from the

edge.”

“Right! Old man, you should listen to Brother Dao!”

Li Yidao saw that the netizens had already begun to persuade this man to follow his instruction.

He also watched the live stream room with bated breath.

There were only three minutes left!

If within these three minutes, this Ermao didn’t move away from the edge of the rooftop.

Then…

Tragedy might still occur!

Time, like the rolling wheel of history, continued its relentless progression, without the slightest possibility of stopping.

However, Ermao in the live stream room paid no attention to the advice of the fans in the live stream room!

He continued to shout and scream, roaring against the injustice of the world, raging against the darkness hidden in the shadows!

He was protesting against the inherent inequality between people…

Li Yidao stared at the time.

One minute!

30 seconds!

10 seconds!

5 seconds!

Watching as the second hand was about to reach the final mark, Li Yidao knew it was over.

Ermao was destined, following the trajectory of his life, to enter the final countdown at this moment.

Li Yidao’s expression was full of silence.

Even with quasi-divine abilities, he was powerless over this.

Once this person fell, he couldn’t save him.

Li Yidao wouldn’t make it in time to reach there now.

The Hand of God could only be used if he made contact with the person. At the same time, it was necessary to ensure the person still had breath.

After all, only the Grim Reaper had authority over the dead.

But Li Yidao wasn’t planning to give up on this matter!

If the deaths of those dozen people were truly as bizarre as described in the Death Investigation, he would definitely intervene!

This could be the opportunity for him to open another door in this world!

As he pondered this in an instant, something sudden happened.

Suddenly!

Li Yidao’s pupils widened in an instant!

He noticed that in the final second of the live stream, Ermao had indeed fallen off completely!

The camera started to shake violently!

However!

That wasn’t the focal point!

Li Yidao, who had already investigated the situation thoroughly, had predicted this outcome!

He was terrified by something else.

In the split second when the camera fell and rotated, there was a moment when it was reoriented toward the rooftop!

He saw what seemed like a figure in the frame!

That figure seemed to be…. a figure with both feet off the ground!
