Chapter 1297 Life and Death Lottery
"Then I don't know. Maybe he's just unlucky, picked a bad mask, or maybe... he took off his mask on purpose to come in and save you."
The more Lin Qianqian spoke, the more excited she became. A satisfied smile gradually appeared on her face. "In short, he died to save you!"
Hearing this, the fatty's body trembled uncontrollably, because he knew that Doctor would never abandon him. If Doctor determined that there was no way to save him, he might indeed take off his mask and come in with him.
Seeing the fear on Wang Fugui's face, Lin Qianqian became even more triumphant. "How is it? Figured it out, right? He was just standing in front of you, he shielded you from the Young Master. Hmph, otherwise, with your skills, you would have died long ago."
"But you don't need to be too sad, because you'll be joining him soon." Lin Qianqian said through gritted teeth.
She wasn't lying to Wang Fugui, at least not about this. She really did see Jiang Cheng appear in front of Wang Fugui, blocking the final step for him.
But there was one thing Lin Qianqian couldn't figure out: why did Jiang Cheng disappear after blocking the final step? There was no corpse left behind, and no sound. It didn't seem like Jiang Cheng's body was in that coffin either. Where did he go?
Moreover, the Jiang Cheng who appeared gave Lin Qianqian a strange feeling. He appeared suddenly and disappeared just as suddenly, in no more than five seconds, as if he had flashed onto this road to the underworld.
In the instant he appeared, Lin Qianqian was almost scared to death.
Besides, he only appeared at the last moment when Wang Fugui was in danger. Wasn't that a bit too coincidental?
After calming down, Lin Qianqian also noticed something was wrong. The Jiang Cheng she saw didn't seem like a person, appearing and disappearing like a ghost.
But she wouldn't tell Wang Fugui any of this. He was currently immersed in grief and unable to extricate himself. She figured he already believed at least half of what she said. She needed to ruin his state of mind first, so she could find an opportunity to kill him later.
Thinking of this, Lin Qianqian's life fire, which had been half extinguished, blazed up again. She was full of confidence in the next, third, trial because she already knew what it was all about.
Drawing lots of life and death!
She was also quite knowledgeable about Yin-Yang techniques. She had heard a saying a long time ago: people who mistakenly enter the road to the underworld must never turn back, because once they do, they can only be left behind forever.
Wang Fugui was a lesson learned. If Jiang Cheng hadn't suddenly appeared and pushed him, blocking that calamity for him, he would be dead now.
And if people who mistakenly enter the road to the underworld want to leave alive, they must draw lots of life and death. The bamboo tube held by the Young Master's corpse was the lot container!
Both of them had to draw lots. There were many lots inside the container. Most of the lots were black at the end hidden at the bottom of the container, and only one was red.
Because it was said that the red brush was used by Yama to mark the book of life and death, so the only red lot was the lot of death.
The two would draw separately, and whoever drew the red lot first would have to lie in this coffin in place of the Young Master, suffering the pain of being gnawed by worms and ants.
And as someone filled this coffin, the situation of tonight’s living funeral would be resolved. The eight headless corpses would seal this person in the coffin, then carry them away for burial, replacing the Second Master Wu who was supposed to suffer this calamity.
Lin Qianqian chuckled inwardly. Wasn't this a coincidence? She never expected to run into something she was so good at. She had carefully studied these so-called lots of life and death. There wasn't no pattern to them, but rather a delicate Yin-Yang technique was applied. As long as she knew the birth date of the person who was about to die, and combined it with numerology to deduce it in reverse, she could calculate which lot was the lot of death!
And tonight, the real person who should die was the Second Master Wu, so... the birth date of the Second Master Wu should be used!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel fortunate. If the other party was an old fox like Luo Tianhe or Yuan Shanyuan, who knew Yin-Yang techniques, she would be finished today. But dealing with this fatty, what she had learned was more than enough!
As long as... as long as she could touch the lot container, and then give her a little time, she could deduce the location of the red lot based on the initial placement of the bamboo sticks inside the container.
Next, it was her time to perform. She would draw all the black lots one by one, making the chance of Wang Fugui drawing the red lot bigger and bigger. This kind of torment would drive people to mental breakdown!
She was bound to win tonight’s game!
She got rid of Jiang Cheng and Wang Fugui with just this one round. Lin Qianqian felt like she was a genius, or perhaps... perhaps the description of being a woman favored by fate was more appropriate.
After dealing with Jiang Cheng and Wang Fugui, the next ones were Li Bai, Yao Shunyu, those two guys. They were a group. Although Luo Tianhe was also unreliable, as long as she could get out, leave this mission smoothly, then nothing else mattered, after all, she didn't plan to let Luo Tianhe go.
The people of the Luo family were a bunch of people who couldn't stand a speck of dust in their eyes. As long as she described it with embellishments, she believed that the Luo family would be happy to clean up their own house, even though Luo Tianhe had been expelled from the Luo family many years ago.
"Wang Fugui, don't blame me for bullying you, just go down and accompany Jiang Cheng!"
Under Lin Qianqian's eager gaze, the Young Master, whose body was still covered in dirt as if he had just been dug out of the ground, moved. His movements were strange, like a puppet. He opened the lot container, then stretched out his hands stiffly, handing it to Wang Fugui.
At this moment, the surrounding Yin energy greatly increased. Faint cries of women could be heard nearby, mixed with an indescribable laughter that was suppressed very deeply.
For a moment, many bizarre and strange images appeared in Lin Qianqian's mind. These sounds were actually interfering with her thoughts.
But that was fine, hehe, after all, Wang Fugui was the first to draw.
In Lin Qianqian's original plan, this Wang Fugui would definitely hesitate for a long time, and she wouldn't rule out the possibility that he would be killed by the Young Master because he hesitated and couldn't make a decision before the time limit, or he would just collapse. But none of this happened. She saw that Wang Fugui's empty and lost eyes suddenly focused, and at the same time, a trace of firmness appeared on his face, even a murderous aura that he had never had before.
Lin Qianqian shivered involuntarily. She didn't know what had happened, but she vaguely felt that this Wang Fugui... had changed, had become unfamiliar.
The next second, Wang Fugui reached into the lot container, took out a lot, and without even looking at it, directly clenched it in his hand. At the same time, a low and hoarse voice accurately and firmly drilled into Lin Qianqian's ears.
"This lot is for Wang Qi."
Lin Qianqian was stunned. She didn't understand what was wrong with Wang Fugui, why he suddenly mentioned... But then, Lin Qianqian was dumbfounded, because she saw Wang Fugui, who had already drawn a lot, reached out again and took out another lot from the lot container.
"This one is for Huai Yi."
