Chapter 161: Karma Deceiving Heaven

Rong Anzhou originally thought that his brother was just finding an excuse to trick Jiang Wu into coming back, but he didn't expect that after Jiang Wu came back, he actually brought him to Nan Qingyu's room with an expression that said "I leave it to you".

He looked at Jiang Wu's lawless demeanor and looked at Han Zhong in shock, "We finally found this person, are you really going to kill him?"

Nan Qingyu didn't know Jiang Wu at first. He was shocked when he heard Rong Anzhou's words, but he still tried his best to explain, "I really can't say it. It's useless even if you kill me."

Rong Anzhou threw his hands up impatiently, "Look, even when I pointed a gun at him, he still said this bullshit!"

Jiang Wu said nothing. He walked over and clamped Nan Qingyu's jaw to make him look up. Not surprisingly, he saw through his eyes the spell that was branded deep in his soul.

The Hidden Words Curse, an old friend. The person behind the scenes seemed to have no concerns about the consequences of the Hidden Words Curse and used it recklessly on the participants.

"It's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's that he can't say it."

The moment these words were spoken, Nan Qingyu's expression suddenly changed as he looked at him, one filled with fear and anticipation.

"He's not dumb, what can't he say?"

"Because a person cannot strangle himself, as long as he still has self-consciousness, his natural fear of death cannot be expressed."

"What do you mean?"

"He was cursed, a curse called the Hidden Words Curse. If he even thinks of saying the forbidden words, he will die on the spot."

“…”

Rong Anzhou almost thought he was hallucinating, and turned to look at Han Zhong, "Did you hear what he just said?"

Han Zhong ignored him and asked Jiang Wu directly, "How will he die?"

"Biting the tongue to commit suicide, suffocating to death, dissolving consciousness, etc. The specific method of death depends entirely on the preference of the person who casts the curse." Jiang Wu let go of Nan Qingyu's face and continued, "Chang Yi and Qin Jiawang were both cursed."

Rong Anzhou was confused at first. When he heard the names of Qin Jiawang and Chang Yi, he was stunned, "Ah?"

Jiang Wu looked at the confusion on his face and turned to look at Han Zhong.

Han Zhong coughed lightly, "...I thought you didn't want to reveal it, so I didn't tell him."

"Wait, stop flirting with each other." Rong Anzhou looked at his brother seriously, "What are you hiding from me? Did you two secretly go abroad to get your marriage certificate?"

Jiang Wu: "What certificate?"

"...Don't talk nonsense." Han Zhong glanced at Rong Anzhou, "Didn't you wonder before why Jiang Wu's skills were so good? It's because he is a disciple of a hidden sect."

As soon as he said this, Rong Anzhou and Nan Qingyu looked at Jiang Wu in surprise, while Jiang Wu looked at Han Zhong with a hint of doubt in his eyes, a disciple of the hidden sect?

Han Zhong looked back at him calmly. What else? Say you are a ghost who was reborn from a body a thousand years ago? Are you sure they can believe it?

Sure enough, upon hearing that he was a disciple of the hidden sect, Rong Anzhou's reaction was relatively calm, but with a hint of disgust, "Xuanmen? A Taoist fortune-teller like the old man from the Zhou family?"

Jiang Wu nodded and agreed.

Rong Anzhou was not really surprised. After all, Bai Xianling had called Jiang Wu "fellow Taoist" before in Qingyang Temple. Although Jiang Wu did not admit it, he could see that the attitude of Bai Xianling and the entire Qingyang Temple towards Jiang Wu was different.

"So, can you break this curse?"

"Kill the curser."

But if they can find the person who cast the curse, they won't have to go through so much trouble. So Jiang Wu looked directly at Han Zhong and said, "You can search his soul directly, but a person can only live for half a minute at most, and it's uncertain how much information you can find. If necessary, I can do it now."

Rong Anzhou and Han Zhong were both stunned.

Rong Anzhou didn't quite understand how soul searching was done, so he asked, "Only half a minute?"

Jiang Wu looked at Nan Qingyu's old face and replied, "If he says so, ten seconds."

Rong Anzhou: “…”

In fact, all ten seconds were possible because Jiang Wu had the power of Guanshi Realm in his previous life, which allowed him to control his soul to such a precise degree. Otherwise, with Nan Qingyu's soul at the moment, his huge soul that far surpassed that of ordinary people would have caused him to have brain death the moment it invaded his soul.

Rong Anzhou saw that he didn't seem to be bragging, so he couldn't help but ask, "Will that leave any evidence?"

"The Xuanmen people can see it, but ordinary medical methods can't detect it. They will just think it's brain death." Jiang Wu thought of something after he finished speaking, "But Zhou Yannan said that in modern society there are also Xuanmen organizations similar to the government, responsible for supervising and investigating the illegal and criminal acts of the Xuanmen people."

Rong Anzhou was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Jiang Wu continue, "But they probably can't beat me."

He choked, "Are you very good? Who is better, you or that old man from the Zhou family?"

Zhou Yannan?

Jiang Wu pondered for a moment and replied, "If he doesn't use the thunder talisman, it will probably take a minute."

Rong Anzhou looked at Han Zhong in disbelief, trying to get his brother to expose the boy's bragging, but his brother did not react, as if he acquiesced. This meant that Jiang Wu could really kill a person without anyone noticing.

He frowned and said nothing, but in his heart he felt it was a bit absurd and unreal, after all, he had never really seen it.

"So we did it for nothing again?"

"not necessarily."

The hidden curse involves cause and effect. The person behind it is so bold, either he doesn't want to live anymore, or he has found a way to shift the punishment of cause and effect.

Jiang Wu suddenly asked, "Is there a list of the victims of the fire ten years ago?"

"Yes." Han Zhonggang asked Rong Anzhou to check and directly transferred the document over.

The documents were very comprehensive, not only including the names of the victims, but also their family members and backgrounds. Jiang Wu quickly scanned the lists and finally found a familiar name.

Nie Mingrui, a beneficiary of the Public Welfare Education Foundation under the Huayue Group, attended Han Zhong’s birthday party as one of the beneficiaries ten years ago. He entered the New Star Art Museum and died in the fire.

In the family member column there is a younger sister named Nie Xiaoping.

He remembered that after Nie Yumeng died of illness in the hospital, he was the only person to visit her and was called by the hospital to handle her funeral affairs. He thought he could find some clues among her belongings, but there was nothing except the broken black jade ring.

But he remembered that among Nie Yumeng's belongings there was a certificate for reissue of his ID card, and there were a few more characters in the column for someone else's former name.

Former name: Nie Xiaoping.

He looked at Nan Qingyu and asked slowly, "Ten years ago, you framed Han Zhong to save your daughter, right?"

Nan Qingyu's pupils shrank, and the shock on his face could not be concealed at all, but due to the control of the curse in his body, he only trembled his lips, but his eyes were filled with almost despairing pain and regret.

When Jiang Wu saw his reaction, he knew that he had guessed correctly. He understood. He knew how the person behind the scenes circumvented the law of cause and effect.

From the strange fire ten years ago to the recent events, everything is connected.

Ten years ago, Nan Qingyu agreed to frame Han Zhong in order to save his seriously ill daughter Nan Yi, and indirectly caused the fire that killed 87 people. Nie Yumeng's brother died in that fire.

Nie Mingrui's death indirectly led to Nie Yumeng's miserable treatment at home, so she escaped from the mountains and embarked on the road of talent show, and then met Nan Yi. In order to make a successful debut, she signed a contract with the person behind the scenes through Chang Yi, killed Nan Yi, and usurped Nan Yi's fortune.

However, what Nie Yumeng didn't know was that Nan Yi's original fortune had been tampered with ten years ago. She tampered with Nan Yi's original fortune, so her final outcome was what Nan Yi should have ended up with, that is, death from illness at the peak of her career.

It just so happened that Nie Yumeng's actions just eliminated the cause and effect brought about by the 87 lives that Nan Yi was responsible for. Nie Mingrui's death indirectly caused Nie Yumeng's tragic experience. As a result, Nie Yumeng became the only person who could kill and take Nan Yi's life. To some extent, it can even be said that Nie Yumeng "took back" what she deserved.

It seems that all of this is caused by human greed. Under the cycle of cause and effect, everyone gets what they want and pays a corresponding price. It is as perfect as a script set by heaven.

Han Zhong, who was slightly injured in the fire, seemed to be an insignificant supporting role, but the truth is that the whole situation was set up for Han Zhong.

The method of the people behind the scenes is very simple, just two words -

Deceiving God.
