Chapter 132 - 132: The Death of Ermao, the Strange Shadow!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As the live stream screen went black, Li Yidao fell into deep contemplation.

Faint noises could still be heard in the live stream, clearly the commotion caused by Miner Ermao’s fall, which had startled the people around.

It was most likely the embodiment of his Soul Detection ability that made him see the figure just now!

In that one second, Li Yidao had realized that he needed to use an advanced form of Soul Detection!

But…

The time was too short, and the opportunity was gone.

He knew he wasn’t mistaken!

The only possibility was that Miner Ermao… didn’t jump willingly!

Indeed… the system’s prompt indicated a mysterious accidental fall!

Also, his objective hadn’t been achieved yet.

Clearly, Ermao had garnered attention from various quarters.

Why would he jump at this moment?

Even if he wanted to attract more attention, he should have waited until reporters and officials arrived!

However…

The situation unfolded like this.

It happened before anyone could react…

The live stream, which had initially been silent, was now flooded with comments.

“D*mn! How desperate must he have been to jump off like that!” “Yeah, suddenly, I feel so heartbroken. Is this the world I live in?”

“Actually… I always felt something was off about this. According to normal thinking, now isn’t the right time to jump, right?”

“Exactly, this old man said he’s been seeking justice for three months, but no one paid attention. Finally, someone wants to listen, and he jumps?”

“Something’s wrong… something’s really wrong! I suggest the relevant authorities investigate thoroughly!”

“Right! What’s going on with that coal mine? Does this old man’s claim hold any truth?”

“Don’t know, just came in, why’s this live stream all black? What’s going on?”

“Same question here, I just joined, and I see the live stream is all black. What happened?”

“How long do you think this old man’s situation will stay in the limelight?”

“A few days? Hmm… tomorrow, there’ll definitely be a statement that this old man is mentally ill. At most, in a week, no one will care about this matter anymore!”

“Spot on, commenter above! No! This matter definitely can’t be brushed aside like that!”

“Right! Can’t let it go like this! Since the old man is no longer with us, we’ll help him find justice!”

“Yeah! Those were a dozen people!”

“Heartless coal mine! This matter is definitely not simple!”

“Shh! Can’t say anything! We can’t say anything, okay?”

“Yeah! There are things we can’t talk about! Everyone, be cautious with your words!”

“D*mn! What the heck happened? I’m so anxious!”

“I know what happened, guys. Check the trending list! It’s already in the thirties. It’s the video from the live stream just now.”

“D*mn! Who’s so fast? I haven’t even finished editing my video!”

“It’s over, it’s over. I was hoping to go viral with that video, and now it’s too late.”

“Yeah, exactly, what a great opportunity to ride the wave of popularity. No, I’m reposting it now, as it is, without any edits!”

“I’m going too!”

“Are you kidding me? Do those self-media guys above have any morals? Using a situation like this for clout?”

“They’re all d*mn despicable! What’s wrong with these people? Trash! Parasites!”

“The amount of trash nowadays is increasing! D*mn it! What kind of people are these? Brother Dao kill them too!”

“Right! Brother Dao should investigate these people! Might as well take care of them too! They’re scarier than those heartless coal mine owners!”

“Kill them!”

“Yeah, kill them!”

The spontaneous comments from a few self-media individuals took the time-sync comments in the live stream in a completely different direction. It could be said that they had successfully captured everyone’s attention. They became a target for everyone to vent their anger.

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, a few of them quickly left the live stream.

But… how could another wave of streamers looking to “ride the wave of popularity” miss out on such a good opportunity?

Not only could they showcase their controversial opinions, but they could also grab some of the traffic.

Simultaneously, the trending topic of the recent suicide also provided an opportunity for them to jump on the bandwagon.

Thus, very quickly, the internet was flooded with criticism against those few individuals. There were chat screenshots portraying them as demons, and there were even satirical animations circulating.

One had to say that this generation of internet users really knows how to play the game!

At this moment, Li Yidao had already left the live stream room.

The location of Miner Ermao wasn’t in Jiang City, but rather in a remote northwestern region quite far from there.

There were indeed many coal mines in that area, and accidents occurred frequently.

However, nothing had caused such public outrage as what had just been revealed!

He sat on a recliner, lost in contemplation.

After receiving the system’s notification that added 22 years to his lifespan, he knew that Miner Ermao… was gone.

Recalling the figure he had seen through the live stream just now, he found himself lost in thought…

What was it, exactly?

Should he go there in person to investigate?

But… time didn’t allow for it. He needed to head to Xian City soon.

Having gained the Soul Detection ability and the Grim Reaper’s Protection, he needed to visit the temple again!

There were definitely more mysterious things within that temple.

Li Yidao had no clue about this temple at the moment. It might be even more mysterious than the bronze mirror he had retrieved.

Another possibility was that… there was a much more enigmatic presence lingering in the temple!

However, Li Yidao knew little about the current situation.

At this moment, in a meditation room of a temple in Xian City, another individual was also deep in thought!

He had thought Li Yidao would return quickly, but after waiting for so many days, there was no news at all!

He needed to retrieve the Cursed Mirror!

So, now he was contemplating whether he should make a trip to Jiang City!

This person was none other than the old man who emerged from the depths of the mountains on the day Li Yidao took the bronze mirror.

However, it seemed that he had some kind of apprehension toward Jiang City, or perhaps certain people or matters in Jiang City!

He remained in a state of hesitation…

Inside a secret facility of Unit 36, a simple tea room held a conversation between Elder Liang and another elder.

The words of the latter held even higher authority than Elder Liang.

One could say that this person was the true high-ranking figure behind Unit 36.

In fact, while Unit 36 appeared to be an official organization on the surface, there was a special organization working behind it.

This organization was an independent and unique entity.

And those under Unit 36 could be understood as subordinate groups that collaborated with that organization.

One could imagine the terror this organization wielded.

Up to this point, how many members they had and the extent of their influence remained unknown.

Even persons like Elder Liang wouldn’t know.

Each member was responsible for their own part.

Whenever there was an issue, they could contact their immediate superior, like what happened right now.

Elder Liang had come to find this elder primarily due to Li Yidao’s situation.

After listening to Elder Liang’s words, the other elder picked up his tea cup and took a gentle sip.

“Well… based on your description, this so-called Brother Dao’s ability is indeed uncontrollable.”

“Since it’s impossible for us to utilize him, then… we need to find a way to address this matter in line with the organization’s principles.”

“A threat that cannot be determined naturally cannot be allowed to continue developing.”

“A threat that can’t be controlled should naturally not be allowed to develop further.’

“The world is becoming increasingly complex, and we need the presence of Unit 36. Naturally, Unit 36 also needs to take action.”

“Only by demonstrating Unit 36’s value can we shut some people’s mouths.”

Elder Liang nodded lightly.

This was his line of thinking as well.

If Unit 36 couldn’t demonstrate its value, it wouldn’t hold such a position.

“I will make arrangements when I go back. His abilities are probably still unstable and have many loopholes.”

“I will find a way to resolve this trouble as soon as possible.”

The other elder nodded gently. “Yes, remember to handle the situation gracefully.”

“External crises and inherent risks must both be highlighted. The more dangerous he appears, the greater the benefits we can reap when we intervene.”

However, just as the elder finished speaking, suddenly, an eerie voice sounded.

“Huh, what a clever plan you have there.” The voice carried a touch of hoarseness, giving it an elusive quality.

“You old folks are still willing to scheme from behind.”

“Suppressing threats? I think you’re the greatest threat, aren’t you? Grin…”

Seeing the figure seated in the chair, whose arrival was unknown, both Elder Liang and his companion’s eyes were filled with fear!

They both felt an overwhelming pressure and a strong sense of impending danger!
