Chapter 79 Cause and Effect and Fate
Chapter 80 Cause and Effect and Fate (Seeking First Subscription)
Wu Xiumei has no talent in metaphysics; she is just an ordinary old woman.
It's only because of my family that I've come to understand this aspect.
In her view, the people in that metaphysics club wanted to take the route of escapees, so she worked hard to make it happen.
And we will do our best to do it well.
Wu Xiumei understood this as well. If she could escape, and do so in the most difficult way, then the fatal flaw in that metaphysical ability would be even more difficult to exploit.
Even if others discover the other party's fatal flaw in the future, it will not be a big deal.
Wu Xiumei smiled and then went to tidy up the house.
This little house is her old house.
The metaphysics society bought her a house in the city, and during holidays, someone would come to visit her to see if she needed anything.
But the more she missed the past over the years, the more she moved back to her old house.
After dinner, Li Yu and Lu Xiao went to make various arrangements.
They intend to clear away the dangers here and then lay traps under their control.
Only when Lu Shi arrives can they better counterattack.
It must be said that Li Yu's intuition was indeed effective.
After he used his intuition to clear his mind, those unfortunate events never happened again.
Furthermore, Li Yu could feel that his luck was rising, and after eating his fill, his condition was also recovering.
On the other side, Lu Xiao had nothing to do. He didn't have much spiritual sense, so he could only help out on the side and keep an eye on Wu Xiumei.
Then, after Wu Xiumei cleared away the dishes, she took out a brazier and started burning paper money in it.
While burning it, he was muttering something.
But the next moment, he saw Wu Xiumei put on her reading glasses, take out her phone, and start operating something on it.
Sensing something was wrong, Lu Xiao immediately rushed forward: "What are you doing?"
He's genuinely afraid that Wu Xiumei will call the police or do something else.
Lu Xiao snatched the phone away and looked at it. It was a money transfer page. Wu Xiumei had already transferred a large sum of money to a person named Wang*lin.
"You have two million?" Lu Xiao was incredulous when he saw the data in Wu Xiumei's account.
The other person lives in such an old house, and judging from their clothes and daily necessities, they don't seem to be wealthy.
Lu Xiao then looked through Wu Xiumei's account and saw that Wu Xiumei had been transferring money recently.
Various welfare institutions, various relatively secure charitable associations, and various personal names.
Looking at those names, Lu Xiao felt they looked familiar, and then suddenly realized who they were.
"Is this Wang Moulin Wang Yanlin?" Lu Xiao asked Wu Xiumei, holding her phone in one hand.
"Yes." Wu Xiumei did not get angry because of these questions and answered with a smile.
After receiving the answer, Lu Xiao felt inexplicably irritated.
He knew Wang Yanlin; she was his brother's wife.
Back when they went further and further down the path of crime, Lu Xiao, as the eldest brother, saw many of his brothers wanting to turn back.
After all, in the beginning they were just collecting protection money and stealing small things.
But when Lu Xiao gathered a group of brothers he considered trustworthy and wanted to carry out a kidnapping, some of them wanted to back out.
Wang Yanlin's husband was one of those who wanted to turn back, and the other party even advised him not to do it.
At the time, Lu Xiao was blinded by emotion and believed that the other party wanted to betray him.
So, on the surface, Lu Xiao agreed to the other party's withdrawal, but in reality, he found an opportunity that night to push the other party off the building, pretending that the other party had accidentally fallen.
Lu Xiao later regretted this incident.
He regrets it, but making amends is out of the question. He will absolutely not reveal the slightest clue that he was the one who killed his brother.
Under these circumstances, Wu Xiumei is here today transferring money to the other party's family.
What kind of connection exists between these things that makes Lu Xiao feel as if something is about to overwhelm him?
"Who exactly are you?" Lu Xiao felt a strange kind of anger rising within him amidst this fear.
"The old woman has never done anything wrong in her life, so the only way she can atone for her sins is by atoning for yours." As she spoke, Wu Xiumei threw another stack of paper money into the brazier, watching the flames lick the paper money, the firelight reflecting on Wu Xiumei's face.
"I've said it before," Wu Xiumei paused before continuing, "the only way to avert bloodshed is through bloodshed."
"If you owe karma, you owe life."
"You can't escape this fate."
Wu Xiumei never did anything wrong in her life. As far back as she can remember, she only lied twice.
This time, for the sake of the junior in the metaphysics club, she chose to tell a third lie.
Of course, this is not entirely a lie; Wu Xiumei genuinely believes this.
"If Li Shi and Lu Xiao hadn't committed so many sins, they wouldn't have been subjected to the 'mystical trial' and ended up as sacrifices."
This is cause and effect.
Because Wu Xiumei was a donor, she was informed of many details, and someone even specifically discussed with her how to escape.
This is also a cause and effect.
It was based on this understanding that Wu Xiumei found a way to escape the bloodshed.
Whether it can be done or not depends on the individual's will.
"How did you know?" Lu Xiao's gaze turned fierce; he wouldn't allow his secret to be known by a second person.
The slight goodwill that Wu Xiumei had previously given him because of her resemblance to his grandmother had long been forgotten by Lu Xiao.
"Be careful," Wu Xiumei could only say at this moment.
The next moment, Lu Xiao felt a gust of cold wind blowing.
Then a plastic bag flew in from who-knows-where.
Before Lu Xiao could even react, the plastic bag was smeared all over her face.
If it were just a plastic bag, that would be one thing, but the problem is that there were some powdery substances inside the plastic bag.
The powder immediately made Lu Xiao feel a burning pain all over his body.
Lu Xiao, who ripped open the plastic bag, didn't even dare to open his eyes. Losing his sight made him instinctively panic, and then he stepped on the edge of the brazier where Wu Xiumei had burned paper money.
A large amount of paper money ash and unburnt paper money bounced up when stepped on.
Lu Xiao was the first to be unlucky; some of the ash flew into his shoes.
However, another part went towards Wu Xiumei.
Lu Shi stood at a distance, calmly watching this scene, and released several venomous snakes into the wild.
Since Wu Xiumei has been chosen as the sacrifice, there is no possibility of letting her off the hook. Escaping is not easy, and the sacrifice's identity is not fake, so the dangers will be just as great.
At most, Lu Shi will not take the initiative to target them.
If the other party truly cannot become an escapee, then Lu Shi will not show any mercy.
This is not because Lu Shi is cruel, but because it is the greatest respect for a donor.
After confirming their status as donors, these individuals prepared themselves to endure all kinds of horrors.
