Chapter 93: Don’t Believe Me? I’ll Follow You!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At this moment, Brother Dao was still continuously browsing videos and following more targeted content pushed by the platform, which led him to follow more people.
So far…
He had already followed more than fifty people!
And the number was still increasing!
He had spent three hundred years of his lifespan conducting a Death
Investigation, and the result indicated that a major fire disaster would occur in the shopping mall.
The reasons included old and aging electrical wires, substandard fire exits, missing fire safety equipment, and even a faulty fire sprinkler system throughout the mall.
This caused a major disaster!
How could he not panic?
“Crap! The person in charge of this shopping mall deserves to die!” Li Yidao kept swiping videos while cursing inwardly.
No matter what industry or public space it was, no matter how well-decorated or equipped it was, the most crucial aspect was fire safety and emergency response to unforeseen crises.
Fire safety was of paramount importance, especially in large shopping malls where regular inspections were a must to ensure absolute safety and zero risks.
Otherwise, when problems arose, it would be a big disaster, just like the current situation!
Yet the person in charge of this mall chose to ignore so many fire safety issues without making any improvements!
What else could this be but seeking profits at the expense of lives?
This was murder!
[Ding! Temporary mission triggered by the system.]
[Mission requirement: Host must rescue more people from the fire disaster without violating the principles of the system.]
[No punishment for mission failure, completing the mission rewards 1/100 of the rescued person’s lifespan, and one God’s Treasure Box.]
As Li Yidao cursed inwardly, he suddenly heard the system’s prompt.
He was taken aback, and even his hand stopped swiping videos.
A mission?
After the system was fully activated, it indeed introduced a mission system.
But he didn’t expect to encounter it so quickly!
Moreover… the reward for this mission left him in awe!
At least it should be enough to replenish the three hundred years of lifespan he used for the Death Investigation just now!
Not to mention the God’s Treasure Box?
He was curious about what that could be, but Li Yidao didn’t waste much time thinking!
Because time was running out!
During his investigation just now, he already learned the exact time when the fire would occur!
It was 6:46 PM!
And now it was already past 3 PM!
That meant he had less than three hours to issue warnings and save everyone in the entire shopping mall!
Directly intervening, calling emergency services, or reporting the mall’s fire safety issues wouldn’t work!
He had tried all these options, and the result was always the system’s threat of death!
The only feasible solution he could think of now was to follow more people!
But… would it really be effective?
Looking at the increasing comments and prompts, he temporarily abandoned video-swiping and opened the comments section.
“Brother Dao! Brother Dao! You’re my ancestor! What’s going to happen?
Brother Dao, please tell us! Please, I don’t want to die!”
“Brother Dao! I don’t want my mom to die! Just give us a hint! How can we avoid it?”
“That’s right, Brother Dao. So many people have been followed by you. If they were all killed, would your conscience be able to live with it?”
“Fire! The shopping mall is definitely going to have a fire! Everyone spread the word!”
“I’m going crazy! Brother Dao’s following count keeps increasing. It’s too d*mn nerve-wracking!”
“Does anyone see it? There’s going to be a fire! It’s definitely happening in the shopping mall! Look at Brother Dao’s hint! Pin me at the top!”
At this moment, while continuously refreshing the screen, Li Yidao saw a comment from a person who was attempting to grab everyone’s attention by spamming.
Unfortunately, there were too many comments, and it quickly got pushed down.
When he saw this person’s comment, Li Yidao’s eyes lit up.
This person mentioned the fire!
Others guessed it, so it shouldn’t be attributed to me, right?!
He quickly pinned this person’s comment at the top of the thread.
Great!
The system didn’t give a death prompt!
That meant the system implicitly allowed this! “Now, everyone should take notice, right?”
“They should understand what I mean, right?”
For a moment, Li Yidao felt relieved in his heart. A smart helper was indeed great!
However…
As this comment gained popularity, people started paying attention to it.
But one message this person left under Li Yidao’s comment made him furious!
“If you have loved ones in the mall, tell them to leave quickly! Our manager doesn’t believe Brother Dao and won’t close the mall!”
“Not willing to close the mall?”
it!”
“I spent three hundred years of lifespan to investigate and you don’t believe it?” Li Yidao’s eyes turned cold at this moment.
He already held grudges against the mall’s manager, and now he had even more reason to be angry!
Subconsciously, he wanted to find this manager’s ID.
But he didn’t know the manager…
After thinking for a moment, he decided to open a live stream.
Though he couldn’t openly give hints or violate the system’s rules, asking for the manager’s ID shouldn’t be a problem, right?
If he could get the ID, he wouldn’t mind giving the manager a follow!
Then he could provide a more conspicuous hint!
If the system didn’t allow following…
Li Yidao had already figured out what to do!
He wasn’t inflexible! He could use the Grim Reaper’s hand through the manager to give everyone a deeper warning!
The Grim Reaper’s power… was not something he couldn’t use!
As Brother Dao’s live stream opened up, instantly, over 100 ,ooo fans flooded in!
If it weren’t for the platform continuously monitoring Li Yidao’s active account status, and if they didn’t immediately allocate him to an exclusive backup server the moment he went online, his stream might have lagged like crazy!
Soon after reaching 100,000, it jumped to over 1 million!
One couldn’t deny that Li Yidao’s current influence on fans was truly astonishing, even he couldn’t believe it!
“D*mn, Brother Dao, you finally showed up! We’re all waiting for your explanation!”
“Yeah, Brother Dao, what’s going on? D*mn it! You can’t scare us like this!”
“Brother Dao, Brother Dao! Why did you follow me? What’s going on? Is there really going to be a fire?”
“Yeah! I’m not even in that mall! Why did you follow me?”
“Brother Dao, tell us, is there really going to be a fire? If so, just blink!”
Seeing everyone’s inquiries, Li Yidao felt helpless.
He also wanted to blink, but as soon as he had that thought, the system’s hidden death prompt came!
He could only maintain a poker face and even found it somewhat scary to naturally blink!
He was really frightened now!
If he didn’t control his facial expression properly, the system would immediately kill him!
If he died! Who was going to save these people?
He took a deep breath, pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly:
“The truth of the matter will always come to light, and some things require everyone to judge for themselves.”
“Also, I want to ask if anyone knows the person in charge of Jiaxin Mall. What is this person’s platform ID?”
Li Yidao deliberately spoke slowly in the first sentence, and if he felt anything was wrong, he would stop immediately!
Fortunately, the system didn’t trap him!
As for the audience in the live stream right now, when they heard Li Yidao asking for the ID of the mall’s manager, they all paused for a moment!
Then, someone started gossiping!
“Sh*t! Brother Dao, what are you up to? You don’t mean to go and kill that guy, do you? That means…”
“Upstairs, stop using question marks, be sure! I already understand Brother Dao’s intentions!”
“Oh lord! I get it, Brother Dao! We understand your words. I’ll go find it for you now! ”
“No need to look for it! I know it! The ID was ‘General Manager of Jiaxin Mall’!
That’s his ID! Brother Dao go and deal with him! F*ck it!”
“That’s right! That’s his ID! He actually accused us of spreading rumors! Can he take responsibility if something really happens?”
“F*ck! I’m pissed off! He even threatened to kick me out if I dare to spread more fire disaster rumors!”
“Uh… what’s the situation, then? Is there really going to be a fire?”
“Oh god! Are you upstairs dumb? Can’t you see what Brother Dao is doing? The hint is so obvious, isn’t it clear?”
“No! Why doesn’t Brother Dao just say it directly? What’s the point of beating around the bush like this? I strongly suspect Brother Dao is just trying to create a topic!”
“Upstairs, get lost! Don’t mislead people! Heaven’s secrets must not be revealed, understand?”
“Oh d*mn! Thanks to the guy upstairs, I suddenly get it! Heaven’s secrets must not be revealed! Brother Dao is trying to remind us!”
“Holy Moly! Look! Brother Dao followed him! He really followed the manager!”
“It’s true!”
At this moment, Li Yidao had already found the manager’s homepage.
The manager’s page didn’t have many followers, only a few thousand.
Also, there were only a few promotional videos related to the mall.
As soon as he clicked into the manager’s page, the system’s prompt sound came as expected!
99% death rate! His death rate was even higher!
Without a second thought, Li Yidao liked and followed him directly!
At the same time, he left a different sentence below!
“Believe it rather than doubt it. Since you don’t believe it, let me give you a follow!”
This sentence was followed by Li Yidao’s classic slogan!
