Chapter 155: Old Man, 80% Death Probability?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
That evening, Li Yidao didn’t rush to see the old master. Instead, he went the next morning.
After a night of rest, Li Yidao refreshed himself and changed into clean clothes.
He hailed a taxi and headed straight to the outskirts of Jiang City.
The old master’s residence was located in a villa area in the suburbs.
The environment here was exceptionally peaceful, albeit inconveniently far from the hustle and bustle of the city.
However, for an old man, living in such a tranquil environment meant a peaceful life.
The old master’s dwelling was a small standalone townhouse.
When Li Yidao entered, he saw the old man watering the flowers in the courtyard.
The old man acted as if he hadn’t noticed Li Yidao’s arrival, continuing to tend to one flowerpot after another.
Li Yidao remained silent, standing quietly and waiting.
After more than twenty minutes passed, the old man finished tending to the last potted plant.
He then turned and walked back inside the house.
Li Yidao still didn’t speak. He silently followed the old man into the house.
“There’s breakfast in the kitchen, help yourself,” the old master said busily, pointing to the kitchen on the side.
Li Yidao still didn’t say a word, just nodded.
He then walked directly to the kitchen and, upon seeing the familiar breakfast on the table, a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Red date buns, a bowl of millet porridge, and a portion of pickled vegetables specially made by the old man.
He hadn’t had this in a long time.
Ten minutes later, Li Yidao came out of the kitchen.
The dishes and utensils were already washed and returned to their original places.
Looking at the old man sitting on the sofa, he quietly walked over and took a seat opposite him.
There was a coffee table between the two, and on the coffee table was a chessboard.
Just like that, in silence, neither of them exchanged any words.
Only the sound of chess pieces being placed down filled the air.
Everything was so unreasonable, yet everything was so reasonable.
And so, the two of them quietly moved their chess pieces, one after another.
Li Yidao lost the first game.
He lost the second game.
He lost the third game.
In the sixth game, Li Yidao won!
Two hours had passed since they began playing chess at this point.
The old man finally placed the chess piece in his hand down, showing no intention to continue. It was then that he spoke.
“Where has the little girl gone?” He didn’t raise his head to look at Li Yidao, and his voice remained calm.
However, even though he tried to appear composed, he couldn’t hide the concern in his tone.
Li Yidao chuckled bitterly and shook his head.
“I don’t know. That little girl suddenly left, and I can’t find her at all. ‘
“You know her personality. If she doesn’t want me to find her, I won’t be able to. ”
“Hmph!” The old man snorted coldly.
Upon hearing the old man’s cold snort, Li Yidao didn’t feel afraid but rather relaxed.
If the old man had continued to maintain his silence, that would have been a bigger problem.
“Now, old man, don’t be angry. You know Yinuo, that girl. Do you really think I could stop her if she didn’t want to be found?” Li Yidao chuckled.
“Alright, I’ve long expected this day to come. That little girl has her own path, and she can’t stay here forever.”
“Haha, but you seem to be quite famous lately, Brother Dao.”
“No, I should say ‘Grim Reaper’ Brother Dao. I wonder if you really have the ability now?” The old man’s lips curved into a smile.
There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
Seeing the old master’s expression and attitude return to normal, Li Yidao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A smile crept onto his lips.
“Old man, you should know me well enough. Those are just rumors circulating on the internet. How could I be a Grim Reaper? It’s all just a coincidence.”
[Ding! High-Quality Customer Detected, ID: Fu Ansheng]
[Death Status Detection: Deceased due to unknown reasons, Death Probability 80%.]
[It is advised that the host should immediately follow the high-quality customer.]
Li Yidao’s words came to a sudden halt as he read the notification. His eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
The old man…
Why was there a notification now? When he first entered, there was no such alert!
It had been a considerable amount of time, and the system couldn’t be slow to respond.
The only possible explanation was that the old man was now in danger!
And that 80% death probability was significant!
Seeing Li Yidao abruptly stop speaking, his expression turning blank and anxious, the old man paused for a moment, then looked at Li Yidao with slightly narrowed eyes.
His gaze held a hint of contemplation.
He picked up a nearby cup and poured a glass of water for Li Yidao.
“It seems that you’ve indeed gained some abilities recently,” the old man said, a smile returning to his lips.
Li Yidao remained silent, taking a sip from the glass.
Internally, he was contemplating how to provide a hint to the old man.
The system’s death threat was not to be taken lightly.
He had no way to bypass it.
If he tried to directly warn the old man, he would likely meet his demise before delivering the warning
The Death Investigation’s results were still unknown, just like Sister Zhou’s current state!
Both were marked as deaths of unknown causes!
Even the time and approximate circumstances of death were unknown to Li
Yidao!
Could he follow the old man around at all times?
That wasn’t practical!
Putting aside whether it was feasible to follow the old man everywhere, there was no guarantee that the old master’s death wouldn’t be instantaneous. After all, the Hand of God’s healing abilities could only save the living!
The dead couldn’t be saved!
Perhaps the old man had seen through Li Yidao’s thoughts.
“Don’t think too much. I know what you want to say and what you’re thinking, ” the old man spoke calmly, his voice tinged with reassurance.
“Rest assured, I’m not that easily defeated. Some things, I can handle.”
“Take care of yourself and find your sister as soon as possible. Just seeing her once before my time comes will be enough.”
“But…” Li Yidao began to respond, only to be interrupted by the old master.
However, the old man waved his hand to stop him.
“Furthermore, you came at just the right time. There’s something I need you to take care of.
“One of my old friends recently bought a house, but there have been some issues with it lately.”
“Your reputation, Brother Dao, has been quite impressive recently. It seems you do have some skills.”
“In that case, go and take a look for him.”
Li Yidao, who was interrupted while speaking, had no idea what to say for a moment.
He was momentarily puzzled.
What did the old man mean by this?
Instead of addressing his own issues, he was asking him to help someone with his house?
But looking at the old man’s demeanor, Li Yidao knew that saying more at this point would be futile.
He could only hope that the old man was truly prepared…
If any danger were to arise because of him, then Li Yidao… would never forgive himself!
In this way, the atmosphere returned to a kind of tranquility.
The two of them quietly drank tea and chatted casually about various things.
Usually, it was the old man asking, and Li Yidao answering.
Li Yidao also asked where he had been all these years. Unfortunately…
The old man always found a way to divert the conversation.
Li Yidao could only give up on inquiring.
He knew that the old man would not hide it if he wanted to tell him.
“Oh, by the way, old man, I happened to acquire something by accident. Could you take a look and see if you can deal with it?”
In the midst of their conversation, Li Yidao suddenly remembered something he came here for today.
From his backpack, he took out the bronze mirror and handed it to the old man.
However, just at this moment, the bronze mirror, for some reason unknown, emitted a brilliant light the instant Li Yidao took it out!
The dazzling light made Li Yidao once again feel the sensation of being controlled throughout his body!
For a moment, he felt as though he were frozen in place! When the old man saw this scene, he snorted coldly!
“Humph!”
At the same time, he pulled a piece of yellow cloth from behind and brought it over with his fingertips, leaving a trace of blood on it!
He immediately pressed down on the eerie bronze mirror, directly suppressing
