Chapter 74 The murderer is found, no, the client
At midnight, he arrived at the door of the last house and told the girls not to follow him in and that it would be better for them to find a place to hide.
Seeing that the two children were obedient, he raised his hand to knock on the door at midnight. After a long time, it was the man who opened the door.
The man did not recognize Lingshi, and in order to get in, Lingshi came up with a simple and crude method.
Zero Hour: "Wong Tai Sin was very pleased with your tribute today, but you broke the rules and took it away again. Now Wong Tai Sin is here to ask for it back."
"At the same time, Master Huangxian has shown great mercy and personally come to your home to fulfill your wish. Why don't you quickly open the door and welcome him?"
The system stood on Lingshi's shoulder, looking like a weasel, so domineering that it really scared the man.
Looking at the weasel's shining eyes, I thought of the chicken I got today. It was a perfect tribute.
I just didn't expect it to be... After I heard about Qingqing's family, I thought it was an immortal who came down to earth.
I didn't expect that he was actually a demon fairy. Judging from his tone, I wondered if I had offended a big shot today.
Thinking of this, he quickly made way for the man, allowing Ling Shi to enter the room openly, passing the man and going straight into the inner room.
This frightened the man so much that he walked quickly forward and saw the boy still lying on the bed with the woman beside him.
Without saying a word, Lingshi went straight up and touched the child's forehead. It was icy cold, not at all like the temperature of a living person.
Lingshi understood everything in his heart. Everything that had happened before was a clue, and the final evidence was -
System: The host is him, the one who borrowed my life, but he also suffered backlash.
Lingshi turned back to look at the man rushing over, narrowed his eyes, and said calmly:
"Your family wanted to borrow the child's life, but to avoid being discovered, you had to choose an illiterate person to pick it up."
"Although there is no evidence to prove it, it is true that the illiterate old man found the money."
Although there was no evidence at Zero Hour, he could roughly infer that this was an inference without evidence.
The couple's expressions instantly became strange. The man who had let Lingshi in at the beginning was now wondering whether he should kick Lingshi out.
"You just didn't expect that family to break the life-borrowing agreement, causing both your child and the old man who picked up the money to be attacked, and it seems like you guys can't solve the problem."
"In other words, you found this solution from nowhere and are trying to save the situation."
The woman was so shocked that she gritted her teeth and scolded:
"So what? I did it on purpose. Why should his child be able to jump around while mine can only stay in bed?"
"I just wanted my child to swap places with him, so that he could also experience a healthy body. It was obviously successful..."
At this point the woman threw herself on the bed, hugged her child and cried, while the man continued what he had not finished.
"Xiao Qi was already well. I don't know what kind of deity that family prayed to that made the child recover. So I found out from the children that there is a miracle doctor in the back mountain."
"How could there be any living people in that place? I've never seen any in my hunting, so it must be some inhuman creature. So I went and tried to beg."
"Please let us, the parents, go free and save the child."
The man's straight back bent down, full of regret, no longer as carefree as he was the first time he climbed the mountain.
"Alright, alright, I'm not here to call you to task. I'm here to make a deal. Since you've come to me for help, then make a deal with me."
Lingshi interrupted the family's confession. He was not a policeman, so why should he give instructions to them?
Lingshi is just looking for the real client. The first one is not sincere, so it does not meet the standards.
The third family's fate has come to an end, so how can Lingshi intervene? The most he can do is exchange his life for another's, but Lingshi won't get much benefit either.
The second one is just right. There is a request and there is profit to be gained. At least people will not return empty-handed as it is a good deed.
Zero Hour said:
"I can help you, but we need to sign an agreement to make a deal. This is not a free lunch."
System: Host, aren’t you already with that third person…
Zero Hour: It only said to find out the real client, but it didn’t say that I can’t make extra money!
System: I see. So this is the family that asked for something in the first place. The first family was just implicated, and the third family happened to get the news through the child.
Midnight: You have finally grown up, Tongzi.
System: Hey hey hey.
After hearing Lingshi say this, they realized that they were not here to call for punishment, but were really here to help them fulfill their wishes.
The couple immediately came over and knelt down, saying that they wanted to save the child. Lingshi didn't waste any time and asked the system to draw up an agreement.
"To make your child healthy, you must give him your health. As for the reward,
Lingshi: Damn, there is no money to be made, what else do I want.
"I want that chicken. Also, please help take care of the two girls outside. As long as they are safe, your son will be safe."
System: Host, what are you doing?
Midnight: If you do bad things, you have to pay the price. It just so happens that the family doesn’t like Qingqing, so let them help raise her.
Midnight: Does the other one have a home? He comes here every night.
Although I have never met him, I still feel pity for him. A sensible child is an angel.
Zero Hour: If my handwriting wasn't ugly and people weren't impatient, I would definitely go to a normal school.
Midnight: I like children, but I don’t like those who don’t understand what people say.
System: Is this why the host hates handwriting?
Zero Hour: This is not the point. Please, Tongzi, I can’t even write my own characters well. Now I can only recognize Japanese characters with the universal characters you prescribed for me.
System: ...That’s true.
After saying that, without waiting for them to see the agreement, the woman immediately nodded in agreement, and the man thought for a moment and sighed in agreement.
Finally, the two people pressed their fingerprints and the agreement came into effect. This time, Lingshi didn't need to do it himself. After all, it was an upgrade trial. The agreement just glowed and operated on its own.
Zero Hour: System, can you do this after the update? I think it’s cooler this way, and I don’t have to do it myself.
System: Of course, this is the proof that we passed the exam. We passed, host!
Zero Hour: Great, I want to go home.
System: After two days, I can finally go back!
Midnight: Wait, two days?
Lingshi's body stiffened and he repeated it in disbelief. The system was still in high spirits and didn't notice.
I disappeared for two days. If I go back, will I be beaten up and kicked out of the house?!
Ling Shi was going crazy inside, but pretended to be calm on the surface. He watched the child open his eyes and leave.
The two girls outside the door went to greet Lingshi when they saw him coming out, and Lingshi squatted down and stroked their heads.
Suppress the restlessness in my heart and just say goodbye to them.
"Your grandma should be well now. I've also told the family to take care of you. You can ask them for help if you need anything in the future."
The farewell in this sentence was too strong, and the two girls could clearly hear it.
"Are you leaving again?"
"Well, maybe I won't come here in the future. Just grow up well."
After saying that, Ling Shi got up and left. He didn't plan to say anything more. If feelings developed, there would be trouble.
Lingshi was well aware of his own faults and didn't dare to stay for even a moment. He immediately fled and hid with the system.
