132: Chapter 132 Detects that the host's confidante, Jiang Shuyue, is about to die!
Lin Yumo sat before her drawing board. The moment she picked up the pencil, her entire demeanor changed drastically, and her eyes rolled back completely white. The room became deathly silent, with only the sound of the pencil rustling against the paper.
Twenty minutes later, as Lin Yumo set down her final stroke, the entire drawing was complete.
After Mayor Jiang finished looking at it, his face sank immediately.
"Hiss~" After Director Zhao took one look, he gasped.
'This painting is truly a bit eerie!'
After Lin Yumo finished looking, she also fell silent. Although she did not know what the final result would look like during the drawing process, she could feel that this painting depicted the person behind Qitian Technology.
But to be honest, this person behind Qitian Technology was just too strange!
A massive coffin with a nine-dragon pattern lay horizontally across a ground-level mausoleum. Inside the coffin lay a Silver-haired Cultivator, and between the Cultivator's brows burned a blood-colored character: 【Desolation】!
How could this be? How could the person behind Qitian Technology be a Silver-haired Cultivator lying in a coffin?
"Yumo, perhaps you didn't rest well yesterday. Why don't you draw a few more?" Director Zhao said with an awkward laugh, stealing a glance at Mayor Jiang's grim expression.
"Oh~ I'll draw it again right now."
Lin Yumo drew it nine more times in a row, and the result was exactly the same every time! Only the angle of the drawing changed; the content remained a Silver-haired Cultivator with a blood-colored 【Desolation】 character burning between their brows, lying inside a massive nine-dragon coffin, resting horizontally across a vast ground-level mausoleum!
Director Zhao was so embarrassed he could have curled his toes through his shoes. Finally, amidst a sigh from Mayor Jiang, he awkwardly walked out with Lin Yumo.
"Student Yumo, are you kidding me? I asked you to draw the background of the qixian continent. If you couldn't draw it, you could have just said so. Why did you draw a coffin?"
"Director Zhao! I also find it strange, but I feel that I drew the person behind the qixian continent correctly!"
"Fine, I was already considered unreliable by the leadership. Thanks to your 'blessing,' I reckon I've now successfully promoted myself to the number one most unreliable person in the leadership's eyes!"
"If you keep saying that, don't come to me next time! Hmph! I even asked for leave from school to come here. You don't have a shred of gratitude, and you're still talking to me like that!"
Director Zhao and Lin Yumo walked out of the Jiangzhou City government building, their faces flushed red.
The morning sunlight spilled onto Jiang Lan's cheeks. Jiang Lan looked content, evidently sleeping extremely soundly.
Today was Monday, and there was only one class at 10 AM, so Jiang Lan could sleep in a little longer.
Suddenly! Ding-dong!
"Detection of the Host's confidante, Jiang Shuyue, who is about to perish. The Doomsday Rescue System is automatically activated. Successfully rescue Jiang Shuyue to receive 200 rescue points. If the rescue fails, 200 rescue points will be deducted from the Host. Does the Host accept the mission to rescue Jiang Shuyue?"
Jiang Lan woke up from his dream with a start. An instant chill ran down his spine, and cold sweat broke out immediately!
"I accept!"
In his previous life, he had failed to protect Jiang Shuyue. After she died, he had spent his days in sorrow, only then realizing that he had loved this girl deeply from the bottom of his heart.
In this life, even if it cost him his life, he would protect Jiang Shuyue well and accompany Shuyue all the way to the end!
"Jiang Shuyue will die in 3 and a half hours! Currently, the Host has insufficient rescue points and cannot activate the 【Prophecy】 and 【Deduction】 skills. During the rescue process, you must not disclose the news that the target is about to die to anyone, otherwise, the target will die immediately! Good luck, Host!"
A countdown appeared before Jiang Lan's eyes: 【03:29:59】. This must be Shuyue's death countdown!
Jiang Lan hurriedly picked up his phone to check the time: 【May 13, 3088, 08:50】. This meant that Jiang Shuyue's time of death would be 【May 13, 3088, 12:21】, which was 21 minutes after the morning class ended!
If he could find out what Shuyue was going to do after class at noon and change her original plans, wouldn't he be able to save her?
Thinking of this, Jiang Lan hurriedly dialed Jiang Shuyue's number. A joyful voice came from the other end of the line.
"Hello, Jiang Lan, good morning!"
Hearing the beauty's voice, Jiang Lan's body trembled slightly. He moved his lips but couldn't say a word for a long time.
Because before Jiang Lan's eyes, it clearly read 【03:25:46】. This meant that Jiang Shuyue would die in 3 hours and 25 minutes!
"Shuyue, are you free after class at noon? I'd like to treat you to a meal."
Jiang Shuyue's face instantly flushed to her neck, and her heart pounded "thump-thump!"
"Jiang Lan, today is my Grandmother Ding's birthday. I have to go to my grandmother's place at noon to celebrate her birthday. Can we do it in the evening? After dinner, we can go for a walk in Jiangzhou Garden. I heard the night view there is beautiful!"
"But..."
"Jiang Lan, I have to go. Grandmother is calling me. I'll take this, see you at school later! (#^.^#)!"
"Beep-beep..." The call was disconnected!
It seemed that the accident must happen on the way to Grandmother Ding's house after Shuyue finished her morning class!
In his memories from his previous life, Jiang Shuyue's mother was named 【Ding Ruyue】. The Grandmother Ding that Shuyue mentioned must be her mother, 【Ding Ruyue】's mother.
The Ding Family was a nationally famous jewelry tycoon. It was said that an ancestor of theirs possessed the 【Golden Eyes】 and made their fortune through jade gambling and trading antiques and paintings.
Jiang Shuyue's father, Jiang Shan, who was the current Mayor Jiang, came from an ordinary peasant family. After marrying 【Ding Ruyue】, he had always felt inferior. Like most poor boys who married rich girls, he desperately wanted to prove himself.
Therefore, Jiang Shan studied hard to enter the civil service and worked desperately to climb the ladder, eventually becoming the Mayor of Jiangzhou City. What he didn't know was that his rapid rise was all due to the efforts of the Ding Family.
Government officials who frequently visited the Ding Family were at least at the provincial or ministerial level. Therefore, Mayor Jiang worked desperately, wanting to climb to the position of Vice Governor to prove that he was worthy of 【Ding Ruyue】.
However, six months ago, in the middle of the night, 【Ding Ruyue】 had an Innate heart disease attack. At that time, Jiang Shan was still working overtime at the Jiangzhou City government building, and the family maid happened to have taken leave to go home. Just like that, 【Ding Ruyue】 quietly left this world.
Because of her mother's incident, Jiang Shuyue had always hated her father deep down. In her eyes, her father didn't love them at all; he only cared about work, and in the end, he had caused her mother's death because of his work!
Jiang Shuyue's time of death was 【May 13, 3088, 12:21】, 21 minutes after school ended. The accident must have happened on the way to Grandmother Ding's house. So the question was, did she have a car accident, or did Jiang Shuyue's Innate heart disease flare up, causing an acute myocardial infarction?
