Chapter 382 Saint
"Ah!" It hurts!
Lin Yilan had seen this happen many times, but she had never imagined she would be targeted by these little brats. With a sharp look in her eyes, she firmly grasped the boy's wrist and gently pushed it to the side. There was a "crack," the sound of a bone breaking.
The boys looked at each other in complete shock.
How could this seemingly fragile woman possess such immense strength? "Big sister, big sister, it hurts... ah, my arm," the boy cried out before being tossed aside by Lin Yilan. "You want to tease me? Keep practicing for a few more years." Long Cheng was about to attack, but Lin Yilan cut him off mid-strike. These were children, and judging by the way they were dressed, they probably couldn't even scrape together the medical bills. "Forget it, don't act like a child." They were here for business, not to fight.
The internet cafe was a space of less than a dozen square meters, with only six computers in total. The owner also occupied one, leaving only five for others to play on. They arrived at this place, but even more difficult problems also came with it.
They came to the Internet cafe where the person who posted the message was, but how could they find that person now?
Soon, Taohua J seemed to have telepathy with Lin Yilan and sent all the information he had found to Lin Yilan. The real name of this Baidu Tieba registrant was Li Gang, who was only 21 years old. He even sent her his ID number word for word.
Lin Yilan sent a thumbs-up emoji to her third brother: [Third brother is awesome!]
Fortunately, Third Brother was on their side. If he were their enemy, that would be truly disastrous. She glanced at the people online and walked directly to the internet cafe owner. "How much is it per hour?"
The internet cafe owner, picking his nose and looking like a loser in slippers, looked at the woman in front of him and raised two fingers: "Two yuan. If you don't want to wait in line, you can give me three yuan and I'll kick these bastards out."
"I'll give you five hundred yuan. Can I ask you about someone?" Lin Yilan said as she took out five hundred yuan from her pocket and placed it directly on the man's computer desk. "Is there a guy named Li Gang here? He comes here to surf the Internet every day."
"Li Gang?" The internet cafe owner's face suddenly changed when he heard the name: "Who are you!"
"We are his friends and we have something to ask him."
"What's going on? Li Gang hasn't been here for three days. This guy disappears for three days every month. I guess he'll show up tomorrow."
"Disappeared three days a month?" Judging by what the internet cafe owner said, his condition seemed even more serious than Qin Chaotian's. Lin Yilan asked where Li Gang's home was. The internet cafe owner smirked and rubbed his fingers. Lin Yilan rolled her eyes at him and pulled out five hundred yuan from her pocket. "Give me the exact location."
The internet cafe owner, blinded by the money, said, "Of course. Very, very specific! Their house is the third door from the north on the street behind the internet cafe. It's an iron gate, and across from it is a tailor shop."
"Thank you."
Without further ado, Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng headed towards Li Gang's house. The internet cafe owner, though a money-grubber, had given the correct address. They quickly found Li Gang's home, and Lin Yilan spotted a swarm of white maggots crawling out from the crack in their door. It was obvious the boy had been vomiting. It was unknown how long he'd been vomiting, but the narrow crack was already filled with them.
Huo Juncheng couldn't help but retching when he saw it. "What the hell is this?"
Lin Yilan suppressed her nausea and said, "This is what Qin Chaotian vomited. This must be Li Gang's home!" She pushed the iron gate, but found that it was locked from the inside... Seeing that Lin Yilan couldn't push it open, Long Cheng stepped forward and kicked the iron gate open.
The loud "bang" startled the neighbors.
Almost everyone in the town knew each other, and even if they didn't, they looked familiar. Huo Juncheng and Lin Yilan's clothing, appearance, and the aura of several people could be immediately identified as not being from this town. A passerby, an elderly-looking man, asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Looking for someone, Grandpa! We're here to look for Li Gang." Lin Yilan smiled sweetly, carefully avoiding the maggots and entering Li Gang's house. Long Cheng did not go in, but stood outside to help the two of them guard the door.
After Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng entered, they saw Li Gang lying on the bed, vomiting on the floor. A pile of white maggots poured out of his stomach. Huo Juncheng reached out and covered Lin Yilan's eyes: "Lin Yilan, stop looking!"
Li Gang heard someone coming and raised his head while vomiting. Tears could not stop flowing when he saw the two strangers in front of him.
He vomited in front of Lin Yilan and the others for a full five minutes before pausing briefly. Lin Yilan, seemingly accustomed to this, whispered, "Where are your cups?" Li Gang pointed to a nearby desk. Lin Yilan poured a glass of water from the thermos and handed it to him, "You probably know why we came to see you."
"Know."
"When did you get this disease?"
Li Gang didn't know how to respond. He shook his head and handed him the photo from the drawer. "That's what my dad said since I was a kid."
"Since childhood? Impossible!" Lin Yilan directly denied Li Gang's answer. If it was congenital, it must be due to some genetic genes. However, she had consulted Dr. Chen, and there was no way any genetic changes would cause this strange disease.
Under Lin Yilan's questioning, the little boy revealed his mother: "Do you believe that another form of energy exists in this world?" Li Gang breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "My mother is a very outstanding saint. She has been able to perform various poisonous techniques since I was a child. Whether it is to pray for wealth or love, she is very accurate. Ever since my mother took a job when I was five years old, I have suffered backlash. My mother also went mad and has been locked in the cellar by my grandmother. Since my grandmother died, I have never seen my mother again. She has become this half-human, half-ghost because of her!" Li Gang became slightly emotional when mentioning his mother: "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have lost the girl I loved most."
Li Gang clenched his hand tightly, then slowly let go after a few seconds: "Forget it, it's over, she got her punishment."
"A saint who is familiar with the art of witchcraft?" This story sounds quite interesting.
Lin Yilan and Huo Juncheng looked at each other, both of them having a strong desire to go meet the little boy's mother: "Where is your grandmother's house? Do you remember?"
"Of course I remember... But are you sure you want to go see my mother?"
"Sure!"
Li Gang looked at Lin Yilan's determined expression and warned, "Okay, I'll take you there! But you have to be careful. My mother has gone mad now. If she finds your hair or anything on your body that belongs to you, I don't know what will happen to you!"
This was also the reason why Li Gang had never visited his mother in all these years. Even his grandmother's death was due to her! This vicious woman destroyed his beautiful family and took away everyone he loved most!
Li Gang held onto the bed with one hand and coughed lightly. Lin Yilan wanted to help him, but was subconsciously pulled back by Huo Juncheng! He could have an accident, but Lin Yilan must not allow any accidents to happen!
