Chapter 142: Let the Grim Reaper’s Scythe Hang for a While!

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

Seeing Li Yidao’s silence, Zhang Goudan softly asked, “Brother Dao? What should we do next? It seems like everyone is waiting for your response.”

At this moment, the entire online community was eagerly awaiting Li Yidao’s reply.

Perhaps everyone was holding their breath, considering that this incident had already caused quite a sensation.

If, at the critical moment, Little Azhang hadn’t been live streaming the situation, and if Jiang Tao hadn’t asked him to accompany them, maybe this situation wouldn’t have arisen.

However, now it wasn’t so easy to redirect public attention and downplay the incident.

Hearing Zhang Goudan’s question, Li Yidao fell silent for a moment.

Through the video he had just watched, he not only noticed some potential hidden dangers but also saw the fates of the individuals in the video.

It seemed… like he didn’t need to take action.

After thinking for a while, he took out his phone and posted a status on his homepage, “Let the scythe hang for a while.”

As soon as he posted this status, within less than ten minutes, there were already over 999+ comments.

“What does Brother Dao mean by this? Let the scythe hang for a while? Is this a real scythe?”

“I’m a bit confused. Brother Dao always plays his cards differently!”

“Why bother? They’ve already come kicking on the door, so why not just take them down? Why let the scythe hang?”

“Yeah! What’s Brother Dao trying to say? Did his blade go dull?”

“Haha… You guys don’t understand Brother Dao’s thoughts! When he said, ‘Let the scythe hang for a while,’ it meant he was indicating that the Grim Reaper’s scythe had already swung! It’s just that the effects haven’t shown up yet!”

“Oh, I see now! Brother Dao has already taken action? We’ll just wait!”

“That’s right. We’ll wait for the results!”

“Since Brother Dao has taken action, I’m relieved! Kill those sc*mbags and save our fellow countrymen!”

“Exactly! We may not believe in the Grim Reaper, but we will always believe in

Brother Dao! Brother Dao is the true Grim Reaper!”

“We’ll always believe in Brother Dao!”

“Brother Dao! We’re counting on you!”

Observing the continuously refreshing comments, Li Yidao remained silent.

The reason he posted this status was also somewhat symbolic.

After watching the video, he saw the predetermined destinies of the people in it.

Death was inevitable.

However, when he watched the video, he discovered that these individuals were all super high-quality customers!

Their death probability was 100%.

As for the cause of their deaths, it took Li Yidao only one year of his lifespan to figure it out: they would die due to revenge.

One could say that this organization was quite unlucky or simply inefficient at its job.

Among the employees they recruited, there was indeed one who was just experiencing life.

The specifics of their family’s assets were unclear, but the father was undoubtedly influential and powerful.

So, as soon as he learned that his son had been kidnapped, he mobilized all his resources and quickly located the organization claiming responsibility for the incident.

The result was self-evident—the organization was nearly wiped out.

Unfortunately, the organization was nothing more than a puppet, merely a front.

The actual culprits behind the scenes remained unknown to them.

As for the hostages, they had no trace of their whereabouts whatsoever.

If Li Yidao’s death investigation results were accurate, this matter was already brewing, and it would undoubtedly be revealed in the news by tomorrow morning.

This was why Li Yidao had posted the earlier status, “Let the scythe hang for a while!”

However, in reality, this matter was destined not to be so straightforward.

Li Yidao was not näive enough to believe that the elimination of this organization would end the issue.

Currently, the enemy operated in secret while he remained in the light.

He didn’t even know who the opponent was or their objectives.

Therefore, he could only take it one step at a time and adapt as the situation unfolded.

Time passed bit by bit.

Li Yidao and Zhang Goudan both fell asleep.

However, the entire Internet did not stop!

Countless people were waiting for the scythe!

They wanted to see the specific outcome of the scythe’s fall, not out of idleness but because this incident had truly captured everyone’s attention.

Even Zhang Chaoyang and Li Hui were following closely.

Finally, in the early morning around 5 a.m. the next day, the results were revealed.

A statement accompanied by images completely spread across the internet.

The organization that had claimed responsibility for the kidnapping had become history overnight.

It was reported that they were surrounded by three other armed groups in the local area.

All of this was identical to Li Yidao’s death investigation results.

As the news broke, Li Yidao’s status update “Let the scythe hang for a while” once again trended.

“Awesome! I can only express my feelings with the word ‘awesome!!” “Brother Dao is indeed Brother Dao! His words are true! The result is great!”

“Haha, Brother Dao’s Grim Reaper reputation is well-deserved! When the scythe swings, all living beings retreat!”

“But it’s a pity… this organization turned out to be a fake! Our compatriots are still missing.”

“I wonder if the leader of this organization regrets it at the moment of death. Haha, they didn’t establish their reputation, but they ended up sacrificing themselves!”

“Yeah, yeah! But why did those three armed groups besiege this organization?

Can someone explain that?”

“LOL, there’s no need to explain this matter. Naturally, they offended someone they shouldn’t have offended.”

“No, no, you’ve got it wrong. It’s not that they offended someone they shouldn’t have, but they kidnapped someone they shouldn’t have.”

“Oh my god! Does that mean one of the kidnapped individuals is a big shot’s son or daughter?”

“The person above is really smart, but no prize for the right answer.”

“Huh, this is when ‘evildoers will face their own karma’ doesn’t fit. It’s more like ‘evildoers will be collected by the Grim Reaper’!”

“Exactly! The Grim Reaper Brother Dao! Forever a legend!”

“Nothing more to say, Brother Dao is awesome!”

Countless comments flooded the internet, making Li Yidao a hot topic once again. It might not be accurate to say he was a hotspot across the entire internet, but in certain circles, his reputation had truly exceeded everyone’s expectations.

At this moment, Li Yidao had no idea about the online discussions.

He was staring at Zhang Goudan in bewilderment, and Zhang Goudan was equally puzzled.

Li Yidao’s wallet had gone missing!

Even though mobile payments were prevalent nowadays, in remote villages like the one they were in, cash was still very useful.

So, Li Yidao had withdrawn ten thousand yuan, which he thought would be more than enough.

But to their great surprise, when they woke up the next morning, they discovered that the wallet was gone!

Zhang Goudan couldn’t possibly have stolen it, as Li Yidao could tell from his expression.

The only possibility was that they had encountered a pickpocket.

This left Li Yidao truly speechless.

In this day and age, there were still people dedicated to the profession of “pickpocketing”?

Weren’t they afraid of starving?
