Chapter 96: The Evil Demon in the Skin of a Young Son
Perhaps his words did make the system feel threatened. The system was silent for a while, and then replied with a cold and inorganic voice: "If the host is willing, you can spend all your current points to exchange for the information of doctors who can treat the epidemic."
"All the points?!" Li Jinyuan asked incredulously, "Not a single point left?"
"Yes." The system remained indifferent.
Li Jinyuan clenched his fingers and fell into a long struggle.
In the system store, every item requires points to purchase, but the points he gets from completing tasks are very few, but the items sold in the store are extremely expensive.
He doesn't have many points now, and it hurts every time he spends a point.
He also wanted to save up more money so that he could use it for emergencies when he went to other higher-level and more dangerous worlds.
As a result, he never expected to fail in this ordinary low-level ancient world, and he even had the koi golden finger that should have been the most successful.
Which link went wrong?
When Li Jinyuan said the word "exchange" to the system, his eyes became slightly unfocused. He recalled dazedly everything that had happened in this world, not understanding why he was forced to this point.
However, all these doubts turned into horror and anger the moment the system gave the doctor's information.
"Wei, Jin, Xing?!" He stared at the name given by the system, his body trembling and gritting his teeth, "Shouldn't he be dead? Who is this? Who is he?!!"
Faced with his questioning, the system fell silent.
Li Jinyuan finally understood at this moment, and finally knew where he had gone wrong! !
It turns out that he made a mistake at the first step!
He should have killed the little beggar and watched the little beggar die with his own eyes!
But it's too late to say this now.
Li Jinyuan didn't even know how he managed to stay calm in this situation. He read the current location of Wei Jinxing, the original protagonist of this world, line by line, and then a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.
He actually hid in the borderland. Did he have an affair with the Wei family? Maybe Wei Jinxing's name had already been written in the Wei family's genealogy, otherwise the system would never have given such clear information!
"I want to see the emperor!" The eight-year-old child rushed out of the courtyard and shouted loudly to the empty courtyard: "Someone come! I want to see the emperor! I found a way to quell the epidemic!!"
But the one who arrived faster than the palace servant was the young man who had been standing behind him for no apparent reason.
Wei Jinan knocked the man unconscious with a knife and stuffed a red pill into his mouth.
Soon, there were messy footsteps outside. He lowered his eyes to look at Li Jinyuan who was lying unconscious on the ground, snorted and laughed, and disappeared the moment the door was opened.
The palace servants who came in only saw the child lying on the ground. They did not dare to approach and instead called more people.
Finally, someone brave enough stepped forward and felt his breath, then his pupils shrank sharply, "Dead, dead!!"
With just two words, the palace servants who had gathered around him were so frightened that they immediately scattered.
Li Jinyuan had been locked up with dead people's clothes for four or five days by the emperor's orders. No one was surprised that he was dead now. They stayed away from him for fear that they would be infected by the invisible disease.
Someone hurried off to report the news. The person who stayed behind looked at the pale corpse of the child on the ground, hatred suddenly rising in his eyes. A shrill, feminine voice rang out like a vengeful ghost:
"He's dead! He wasn't a lucky star at all! He lied to the emperor and lied to everyone!!"
After being reminded of this, everyone suddenly understood.
Yes, how could Fuxing die from the plague?
Fuxing can dream and drink nectar. He is a fairy boy from heaven! How could he die of the disease?
Unless he is fake!
But if he is fake, then what about the deceived emperor? What about the deceived people of the world? !
The whole world worships him. Who in Kyoto doesn't know how famous the lucky star is? Even the princes and princesses are treated far less than him.
Now that he is dead, he is a fake lucky star. What should the people who bowed and prayed to him every day do?
They will go crazy!
They will definitely go completely crazy because their last hope has been shattered!!
Especially... the people who are still kneeling outside the palace gate and gathering more and more, once they know that Fuxing is dead, the consequences will be disastrous!
When the palace servants who had been surrounding Li Jinyuan's body thought of what might happen, they retreated silently and cleverly, and ran back to pack their bags, ready to find the right time to leave in the chaos.
Fuxing is dead, this matter cannot be concealed.
By then, the people who have already been trapped and died of the plague in Kyoto will be completely turned into desperate and crazy trapped beasts.
If a riot breaks out, the palace where Fuxing is located will definitely be the first place to be broken into under the excitement of the crowd.
Even if the palace is guarded by imperial guards, they are also human beings! They may also have relatives and clansmen infected with the virus. Maybe... the first to cause chaos will be the imperial guards with weapons.
But all this has nothing to do with Li Jinyuan.
No one dared to approach his body. Everyone was desperately trying to find a way to survive in panic, and no one cared about this dead "lucky star".
When the courtyard was empty again, the disappeared Wei Jinan reappeared.
He picked up the "corpse" on the ground and set fire to the remote courtyard, completely burning all traces of "Li Jinyuan" in this world.
When the entire capital was in complete chaos, the Wei family, guarded by countless elite soldiers, was able to maintain peace in the chaos.
When Li Jinyuan woke up, he found himself tied up to a pillar.
He struggled in shock, frantically asking the system what had happened.
Just after the system gave him a brief explanation, two figures walked in side by side.
Li Jinyuan suddenly raised his eyes and looked.
They are brother and sister Wei Jinan and Wei Jinning.
Thoughts raced, Li Jinyuan opened his dry mouth and said in a pitiful and hoarse voice: "Brother, sister, why am I here? Did...did you rescue me from the palace?"
As he was a top star in his previous life, he still has some acting skills. His eyes can turn red and he can cry at will. If he hadn't been tied up, he would have played the role of a child who suffered grievances and torture very vividly.
Unfortunately, he misjudged the two people standing in front of him.
Wei Jinan sneered and pulled a stool over, but let his sister sit down first before he walked over and put his hands around Li Jinyuan's delicate neck.
He did not retract his force, and in just a few seconds, Li Jinyuan was forced to raise his head and groan in suffocation and pain.
But his hands, feet and body were still tied up. No matter how he struggled, it was in vain. He could only look at Wei Jinan with tears in his painful eyes.
But Wei Jinan remained unmoved.
He didn't let go until the struggles of his men became weaker and weaker.
Li Jinyuan suddenly breathed in fresh air and started choking and coughing in a very awkward manner. He took deep breaths while crying, and a circle of glaring purple bruises was left on his fair neck.
He was almost strangled to death just now!
After this realization, he finally realized the horror of death.
Therefore, under the calm and leisurely gazes of the brother and sister, Li Jinyuan learned his lesson and never deliberately acted pitifully and aggrieved again.
But Wei Jinning still gently called him "Brother".
"Brother, were you a beggar when you were a child?" the girl asked in a gentle voice with a smile.
Li Jinyuan's Adam's apple seemed to be pinched and crushed, and he couldn't say anything at the moment, let alone answer Wei Jinning's question.
Fortunately, Wei Jinning did not need his answer. She just sat on the stool gracefully and chatted with him slowly: "I remember that there should be no. You came to our Wei family when you were three years old, and then you became the lucky star chosen by the emperor."
"You are indeed a lucky star. From birth to now, your poor parents died, and you were adopted by a wealthy businessman. Then you met my unlucky little brother, and I exchanged half a wheat cake for his identity card. After that, you came to the Wei family and climbed up by stepping on the flesh and bones of our family..."
"Brother, do you know how the common people usually punish thieves after catching them?"
Wei Jinan, who was standing next to him, grinned with a cold look in his eyes, "It's very simple. Chop off his two hands for stealing things!"
He drew the sword from his waist. Li Jinyuan's pupils shrank at the cold light of the sword. He collapsed and begged for mercy: "I was wrong! Let me go, I was wrong! I shouldn't have..."
What shouldn't be done?
Shouldn’t we steal the protagonist’s life?
No, no, he clearly shouldn't have let that little beggar live!
But he naturally would not express such regret at this moment. He cried bitterly and begged for mercy in regret, but he did not know that the more embarrassed he was, the uglier and more obvious the materialistic and despicable nature of an adult in him became.
Seeing this, Wei Jining couldn't help but sigh and shook his head, "It seems that grandma and mother guessed correctly, he is indeed a demon in the guise of a young son."
Wei Jinning stood up, seemingly losing interest, and said slowly to his brother holding the sword: "Since he is a demon, keep him for now. When your brother has accomplished his mission, kill him and celebrate for the new dynasty. This way it won't be a waste."
Wei Jinan stared at Li Jinyuan's head sinisterly for two seconds, then sheathed his sword.
"Then you can live two more days."
He was reluctant.
Unfortunately, his sister was born to be his nemesis.
This has been especially true in recent years. He listens to his younger sister at home and his younger brother outside. Anyway, the two younger ones at home can easily dominate him, the eldest brother.
"When everything is settled, the stars will come back, right?" Wei Jining tilted his head and asked him.
Wei Jinan nodded: "Well, the faster we act, the sooner he can come back."
"You have all seen him, but mother and I have not." Wei Jinning's expression was filled with joy and anticipation. "I have heard you talk so much these days, and I always feel regretful that I missed Xingxing for so many years."
"There's still a lot of time in the future. When you're well again, we'll have more time to spend together." Wei Jinan thought of his brother who was still far away in the borderland, and couldn't help but laugh: "He's just like you when you were little, full of little tricks to bully others."
Hearing him say this, Wei Jinning also smiled and looked forward to the day of meeting his younger brother even more.
Behind them, Li Jinyuan, who had temporarily escaped the disaster, had no time to breathe a sigh of relief before he suddenly heard the voice of the system.
"Warning! Warning!! Due to the failure of the host's mission, the system analysis shows that there is no possibility of escape. The emergency separation procedure is temporarily activated. After three seconds, the binding relationship will be automatically released!"
“3——2——1——”
