Chapter 499: Past Tragedy
Du Anrao's surprised expression seemed to please the thing hiding in the dark, so a cold wind blew towards him, so cold that Du Anrao couldn't help shivering and calmed him down.
Now that he has brought the person into his territory, this so-called consciousness of the way of heaven will naturally not allow Duan Rao to be satisfied for too long.
After the cold wind blew, Duanrao felt himself floating up again, and then he dived into the huge pot of boiling oil.
Just like before, this pot of boiling hot oil failed to hurt her at all. Instead, it allowed Duanrao to see clearly what was protecting her.
It was a transparent ball that wrapped around her. Looking from the inside out, it looked a bit like a huge transparent bubble.
The edge of the bubble was filled with a faint golden light, a golden light that Duanrao was very familiar with. It was... merit!
It was the merits she had accumulated that were protecting her! Sure enough, her previous guess was correct. These merits were not given to her by the current Heavenly Dao. Instead, they could help her resist the harm of this new Heavenly Dao!
The fire under the oil pan burned more and more vigorously, and there were more and more small bubbles on the edge of the bubbles.
However, Duan Rao, who was in the center of the oil pan, was not hurt at all. He even felt comfortable and cool staying in the bubble and did not feel the real temperature of the oil outside at all.
The oil pan was kept boiling for who knows how long, Du Anrao was almost asleep in the big bubble. Xin Tiandao, who was determined to fight Du Anrao to the death, realized that this method was not feasible, and suddenly turned Du Anrao back to the original dark sewer.
Duanrao was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to do something, he felt a strong wind blowing towards him, accompanied by the familiar black smoke.
The failure in the mountain of swords and the oil pan greatly stimulated the invincible world ruler. Duan Rao could feel his frustration from the movements of the black smoke.
Before he could react, Duanrao was pulled into the inky black smoke again.
It can be seen that this time the other party was really determined to kill her at all costs. The black smoke that wrapped around her this time was much thicker than before, and in the end it even turned into sticky mud.
Just like a real swamp, it pulled her down bit by bit, and the more she struggled, the faster she sank!
The black mud soon reached Duanrao's throat, and then her chin, mouth, nose, forehead, and even her entire head. Her breathing became rapid and her consciousness became blurred.
In a daze, she seemed to hear a familiar voice, but it was mixed with despair and sorrow.
"Jun Yan! Open your eyes and look at your mother. This is not true. This is not true, Jun Yan..."
My mother's voice? Duan Rao opened his eyes slightly and subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab it, but he touched a phantom.
Afterwards, scenes like a kaleidoscope appeared before Du Anrao's eyes.
She saw Bai Xiuqing coming to their door with her three-month-old belly, but she was not there. Although her parents were shocked at the identity of the "biological father" of Bai Xiuqing's unborn child, out of affection for Bai Xiuqing's parents and the filter of Bai Xiuqing's childhood, they easily believed her words.
Even the eldest brother, after seeing the forged prenatal examination report, even though he had no memory of the matter, eventually acknowledged the identity of the child, and this became the beginning of their family's tragedy.
One month after Bai Xiuqing moved into the Du family, the plot took a sharp turn for the worse.
Jia Yunxiao's men discovered her whereabouts, and their family was severely retaliated by Jia Yunxiao for the crime of harboring the eldest wife and unborn child.
The eldest brother was under close police attention because internal company personnel were bribed and a large amount of company funds were transferred to unknown overseas accounts. This was followed by a heated public opinion storm. Before the police found out the truth, Jia Yunxiao had already led public opinion to convict him.
As a result, the Du family company became notorious, and partners withdrew their investments one after another. Soon the company was in danger of bankruptcy.
The eldest brother was extremely worried but still unwilling to give up hope. He looked for help everywhere. However, after going out one time, he was stopped in the wilderness by people arranged by Jia Yunxiao and stabbed dozens of times. He never came back.
Seeing that her second brother was on the rise, he was targeted by a female gangster named Jiang Huaiying. When her courtship failed, she framed him in a sex scandal and made him infamous, forcing him to retire from the entertainment industry.
Afterwards, Jia Yunxiao designed to push him off a tall building and he died. Afterwards, it was disguised as a depression attack and he committed suicide by jumping off the building.
Her fourth sister, who should have been held in the palm of her family's hand, lived a life of happiness and joy, was labeled a vicious female supporting role and became the imaginary enemy of Li Qianxi and her bootlickers. Not only was she targeted by those bootlickers whose brains were as small as sesame seeds, but she was finally hit and crushed by Li Qianxi's biological father's car and died on the street.
And her parents were hated by Cui Jueyan, a Phoenix man, just because they supported her helpless cousin. Later, they were accidentally involved in the battle for Du Desheng's inheritance. They were inexplicably framed and thrown into jail, and then they were killed in there without knowing it.
At this point, her third brother became a lonely man with his entire family wiped out.
Du Yihan, who was still working hard on research in the laboratory at that time, had no idea that during the time he was in seclusion, all his blood relatives in the family had died, and he didn't know that a terrible crisis was imminent.
So, the third brother, who came out of the laboratory excitedly with his research results, was faced with the bloody reality of losing all his loved ones. Later, the research he was proud of was also stolen, and he even bore the notoriety of being cursed by everyone.
Under the double blow, the third brother had actually made up his mind to die. He desperately tried his best to save those poor people who were deeply suffering from illness, but no one could save his relatives and they died tragically one after another. How ironic is that?
But he also knew that he couldn't just die like this, so after weighing the pros and cons, he took the risk and returned to the laboratory, but he happened to run into Xiao Jinhang, the culprit, and got into an argument with him.
As the two were pushing and shoving, Xiao Jinhang knocked over the chemicals in the laboratory, causing a fire. He escaped first, but her third brother was burned to death in the laboratory. After his death, he had to bear the infamy of plagiarizing other people's research results and deliberately setting fire to the laboratory in revenge.
Du Anrao was so angry that her forehead was burning with anger. The scene changed and she saw herself, the self that was familiar yet unfamiliar to her.
Little An Rao, about four or five years old, was wearing patched clothes and sitting by a bridge. Under the bridge was a long river with no end in sight.
She didn't know how long she had been sitting here, nor did she know what she was waiting for.
Day after day, year after year, little Anrao just sat at this end of the river, swinging his legs, looking at the sparkling water under the bridge, wondering what he was thinking, alone and in a daze.
Until a figure appeared...
