After Fu Yun reacted first, he found that the man guarding the gate had disappeared, but he couldn't care less about that. He went straight back to his car, turned the steering wheel sharply, and rushed towards another gate in the community that was big enough for fire trucks to enter and exit.

The two teammates who came with him entered through the small door they had just seen. Zeng Jing and Xiao Deng followed closely behind.

Today's events are too bizarre; how could he have run into such a thing!

"Calling headquarters, calling headquarters, July Community, No. 15 Linyin Street, Building 14 has collapsed, requesting assistance." The fire department's request for assistance reached Zeng Jing's ears. He subconsciously turned his head, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw three figures that disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

Zeng Jing paused in his forward momentum, turning to look across the street. Were there three people there just now? Although it was too fast to discern anything, he sensed that the tall, muscular figure must be the man who had blocked the door earlier. Was he with someone? Who was it?

How could they suddenly disappear? Was it just my imagination? The piercing cries and screams left Zeng Jing no time to think about anything else, and he quickly threw himself into the rescue efforts.

While everyone else rushed toward the gate, out of a sense of danger, Chen Ju pulled his friend Li Danyin to stand by the flower bed. All they could see were crowds of people running around in chaos.

The air was filled with wailing and screaming, as well as the sound of people crying out the names of their loved ones.

The two, their legs weak, collapsed onto the edge of the flowerbed, cold sweat pouring from their hair roots and quickly soaking their inner linings.

Chen Ju wiped away the sweat that was about to drip into his eyes, only to find that his hands were trembling. He had to use all his strength to put his hands on his knees to support his limp body.

After extreme fear comes mental exhaustion and physical depletion.

"Damn it, if we had gone back just now, would it have ended like this?" The collapsed ruins of the house filled him with lingering fear and unease.

His family members live in other places. He and his good friend Li Danyin were transferred to the city for work less than a month ago. In order to save on rent and help each other, they rented this house together.

After all, they are all people with wives and children, and they are not well-off. It would be best to reduce their expenses.

This company dormitory, though called a dormitory, requires employees to pay their own rent.

Money is one thing, but damn it, they want my life too!

Thinking that Li Wei, who was allowed to go in, would probably have something happen to him before he even got home, his chances of surviving were too slim.

If the man blocking the door had appeared before him at that moment, he would have gone up and kissed him twice. This wasn't about causing trouble; it was about saving their lives!

With the landslide like that, it's no wonder they couldn't have survived!

"Brother, we've been lucky to escape with our lives. Damn it, let's rent a bungalow from now on. It's a bit expensive, but it's not too expensive if we share." Li Danyin wiped his sweat; in the five-degree winter, he couldn't stop sweating.

In the event of an earthquake, buildings are such that there's no way to escape; you're guaranteed to die.

Chen Ju nodded, "I'll never live in a high-rise again, not even if you beat me to death!"

The sound of fire trucks soon rang out not far away, and Chen Ju and Li Danyin exchanged a glance.

"Let's go, let's go rescue them."

...

On their way back, Yuan Zhuan and his two companions saw several military trucks being urgently dispatched speeding away, along with multiple ambulances, several engineering vehicles, and some other people who had spontaneously gone there.

"The rescue speed on Tenth Street is fast enough!" Yuan Sun said happily.

"Dasheng, carry me back." Sun Dasheng felt a weight on his neck and back; Yuan Zhuan was already on his back.

"Ah? Okay." Sun Dasheng quickly grabbed Yuan Zhuan's legs.

While walking quickly, don't drop your boss.

“My karma has come to pass. Don’t go to the hospital. Take me back to the break room in the office and tell my mom that I might have to stay for several days because of work. Just tell Cao Ming the truth.” Yuan Zhuan suddenly spoke halfway there.

Before Yuan Sun and Sun Dasheng could even process what was happening, Sun Dasheng felt the person on his back go limp and weak, and then hot water soaked his clothes around his neck, something flowing down his neck.

"Yuan Zhuan!" Realizing something was wrong, Yuan Sun deactivated his speed talisman and hurriedly pulled Yuan Zhuan down from behind Sun Dasheng.

His boss vomited a lot of blood and fell into a deep coma.

"Grandmaster, Grandmaster, what... what happened?" Sun Dasheng stared wide-eyed in horror at the little boss that Yuan Sun was holding. Blood was still flowing from the corner of her lips, which had already soaked her ponytail.

Why did he suddenly vomit blood? Will he die?

The thought of his usually arrogant boss dying brought tears to Sun Dasheng's eyes.

"Stop crying! She's not going to die! Hurry up and go. Didn't she just say to take her to the office? She needs to rest." After Yuan Sun used his Qi to examine Yuan Zhuan's meridians, he found that apart from severe blood and Qi deficiency, there were no other problems. His tension subsided considerably.

While the old man and the young man were hurrying along, Yuan Zhuan had already entered the system space.

If spirits could have expressions, Yuan Zhuan would surely be baring his teeth and brandishing his claws at this moment!

"System, get the hell out here!! System! System!" Yuan Zhuan felt his entire spirit body burning up when he saw his balance of -501 gold coins.

I'm furious! Damn it, tens of thousands of gold coins disappeared in the blink of an eye, and it's even a negative number! How can I not be furious?!

"I told you, you must bear the consequences!" The system's voice was unusually cold.

"You've already made me go back to square one, and now you've left me 501 gold coins in debt! Come on, kill me, we'll die together! Anyway, all the money I earn is for you, I'm just a working girl! I'm just lying here today, I'm not going back, kill me! Come on! Let's hurt each other!!"

The system space was filled with Yuan Zhuan's furious roars, while the system itself remained completely silent.

After venting his anger, Yuan Zhuan truly disregarded everything and let the spirit fall into a deep sleep.

And so, the stalemate lasted for three days.

In Yuan's security office, Cao Ming specially arranged for nurses and doctors to stay there, checking on Yuan Zhuan's condition from time to time, personally feeding him energy water, and watching the nurse administer glucose to prevent Yuan Zhuan from starving to death.

As Cao Ming waited, he grew more and more anxious each day. "He just fell asleep like that? Are you sure it's caused by karma?" What if it really is some kind of illness, and it causes serious problems if it's delayed?

Yuan Sun was questioned for the 108th time, and Cao Ming's attitude worsened with each question.

Sun Dasheng didn't dare to move forward, fearing that Cao Ming would become agitated and kick them all out.

He's gotten used to the comfortable and superior living environment here and doesn't want to move.

"Yes. The cause and effect this time is too great, and the backlash suffered by the small boss is very severe. This disaster served as a warning and saved more than seventy lives that should have died." Yuan Sun said with a stern face. He hadn't rested much for three days.

He knew there would be cause and effect, but he didn't know that the cause and effect would be so serious and come to fruition so quickly, something he had never seen or heard of before.

"Shouldn't they have saved him?" Upon hearing these words, Cao Ming fell silent.

More than seventy lives were saved by this little rascal?

Is this how karma is always fulfilled in Taoism? How long will it last? "Is there any other way to wake someone up? Or rather, is there any other way to reduce the sins caused by karma?"

"Do good deeds."

Upon hearing these three words, Cao Ming took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying, "Isn't saving people an act of merit?"

"They should have died three days ago." By blocking the cause and effect of others, one will naturally suffer the karmic backlash brought about by those others. This is the punishment given by the Heavenly Dao, and it is also the most important reason why Taoists cannot casually enter the mortal world.

The more entanglements there are, the greater the backlash, and naturally, the more Taoist priests will die.

I want to escape the world, but with so much injustice and hardship in this world, how can I truly remain a bystander?

Cao Ming fell silent.

So many people, did they deserve to die?

Is this cause and effect?

Humans really live a miserable life. Not only do they fight each other, but when natural disasters strike, they have to sacrifice themselves. And when someone finally lends a helping hand, that person has to bear the consequences.

Damn it, God!! If he were a human, he would have killed him and burned him alive in a heartbeat!!
