Chapter 122 Unexplained Excitement, My Heart Was Pounding with Thrill
Chapter 122 Unexplained Excitement, My Heart Was Pounding with Thrill
The one-on-one exchange between Xia Mo and Brother Xia frightened the wailing old woman.
The wailing old woman crawled on all fours to the strong man who was being carried over on the door panel, and reached out with trembling hands to touch her son's face.
The wailing old woman jerked her hand away as if burned, her whole body bouncing like a frog in fright.
The wailing old woman suddenly reached for her son lying on the door panel, touching him all over, and then let out an even more piercing wail.
"My son——"
The old woman's cries were filled with genuine sorrow, conveying a profound grief that seemed to affect those around her, causing them to feel a pang of sadness as well.
"My son——"
The old woman lay on the corpse, her sobs trembling as she cried.
Xia Mo suddenly grabbed Xia Dage's clothes, pretending to be startled. In fact, she had seen many murders and corpses in the cultivation world, but this was probably the first time she had seen them in this world, so she did react with fear.
Brother Xia immediately shielded Xia Mo and said, "Little sister, let's not watch anymore, let's go."
Brother Xia thought he had really scared Xia Mo.
Xia Mo tugged at her brother's sleeve and shook her head, saying, "I want to watch a little longer."
Brother Xia frowned, wanting to forcibly take Xia Mo away, but when he met Xia Mo's clear and innocent eyes, he said helplessly, "Brother will protect you, don't be afraid."
The warmth of late summer immediately made Xia Da Ge (Brother Xia) flash a bright smile.
The face mask covered Xia Mo's face, so you couldn't see the corners of her mouth curving up, but you could see her curved eyebrows and eyes, and the starlight that seemed to be twinkling in her eyes.
Seeing Xia Mo's smile, Brother Xia was infected by her sadness, which swept away his worries, and he smiled too.
The old woman was so sad that she almost lost her voice. After recovering from her grief, she looked at the entrance of the clinic. Her sadness did not prevent her from having greedy thoughts. If she did not have greedy thoughts, how could she have agreed to Chen Xin and Lin Chengzhi's scheme?
"Lin Fengzhi, give me back my son's life! Give me back my son's life!" The old woman screamed even more desperately at the entrance of the clinic.
Summer's end, she raised an eyebrow.
She has one more trick up her sleeve.
Everyone watching saw the wailing old woman suddenly shout in terror at thin air, "Who?!"
The onlookers looked at the wailing old woman in confusion, then felt a chill run down their spines. They glanced around and saw that there were people all around, and it was broad daylight. They secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the wailing old woman looked at the corpse in front of her and uttered "you you you..." several times. Her voice cracked from fright, and she couldn't even make a complete sound, let alone shout out a whole sentence.
A little while later...
The wailing old woman cried out, "My son, it's you speaking to me, isn't it? My son..."
Everyone watching: "..."
They thought the old woman was going crazy because she couldn't accept the pain of loss.
It was at this point that another unexpected event occurred...
"My child, I will avenge you. Don't come looking for me. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been greedy. I shouldn't have thought about making money through dishonest means. In the end, I lost your life too. I... sob..."
The wailing old woman clenched her fists and began to pound her chest frantically, as if she wanted to flatten it.
The onlookers, besides being puzzled, were also somewhat reluctant to watch this scene.
"Come on, Mother will take you to seek justice, Mother will take you..."
The wailing old woman had dragged her son there herself. Now, she went over again, tied the rope that was tied to the door to her own shoulder, grabbed the rope, and struggled to drag herself toward the clinic at the end of the street.
The unexpected turn of events left everyone present stunned, surprised, and dumbfounded.
"What's going on?!"
The onlookers moved with the wailing old woman, like a swarm of ants carrying food, while asking questions of the strangers around them who were also watching the spectacle.
"I don't know. Didn't she say that Lin Feng gave the wrong medicine and killed his son?"
"She just said that she was making dirty money. I reckon someone paid her to frame Dr. Lin."
"..."
The murmurs of the crowd were noisy and bustling, like a busy market in the morning. The small voices gathered together as if trying to outdo the thunder in the sky.
"Little sister, do you know what's going on?" Brother Xia, full of questions, looked at Xia Mo, who was standing still.
Xia Mo smiled mischievously at Brother Xia, but remained standing still without answering.
She didn't move, but her divine sense had already condensed into thin threads and entered the backyard of the clinic at the end of the street first—
She wondered what impact Lin Chengzhi's failed plan to frame Dr. Lin would have on him.
The light screen in front of Lin Chengzhi automatically jumped to the mission interface, and the main mission popped up: Plunder (Lin Fengzhi) Luck Value Progress 91%.
Soon, on the screen, the progress of the main quest and the acquisition of luck points began to jump, the numbers sliding down as if they were being turned on a wheel...
On the screen in front of Lin Chengzhi, it read: Plunder (Lin Fengzhi) progress is 81%.
Live Streaming System: Warning, the host's main quest progress has dropped by 10%, penalty activated.
Lin Chengzhi had just finished feeling the pain when he fell to the ground again, clutching his head with both hands. The intense pain felt like something was trying to burst out of his brain, and he kept hitting the ground, letting out cries of pain like a tortured little animal.
"Ah ah ah..."
Chen Xin was so frightened that he jumped a foot away from Lin Chengzhi.
He suspected that Lin Chengzhi had contracted some kind of rumored illness, otherwise... how could it have flared up twice in such a short time?!
Xia Mo was very curious about how the live streaming system punished him. She was really curious, and to satisfy her curiosity, even though she knew that Lin Chengzhi was in excruciating pain, she still used her divine sense to enter his mind.
Standing still in late summer, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up in a happy smile.
She was inexplicably excited, her heart pounding with excitement.
She discovered the live streaming system!
How small is the live streaming system? It's as small as a grain of sand that will fly away with a gentle breeze. It's so small that it can't be seen with the naked eye, but it has eight legs like a spider, clinging to the delicate nerve endings in the brain.
How does it punish the host?
At this moment, the live streaming system, which resembled a fake spider, was extending eight legs along the pain receptors in Lin Chengzhi's brain.
Pull out the thin foreleg of the left limb, then insert the thin foreleg back into the meridian wall, then pull out the thin foreleg of the right limb, move it slightly, and then insert it back into the thin meridian wall, repeating this process in rotation...
If that were all, it shouldn't cause such intense pain.
At this moment, Xia Mo was conflicted; her heart was in turmoil.
She considered conserving her soul power and taking her elder brother back to Anping County, but she was simply too curious. Besides, the opportunity was right in front of her! Wouldn't it be such a pity to miss it?
"Little sister?"
Xia Mo suddenly looked over, and Brother Xia called out softly in confusion.
