Chapter 216: A Moving Tattoo!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When Li Yidao woke up, it was already noon on the second day.

He was disturbed by the sounds of furniture being rearranged.

Groggily getting out of bed, he stepped out of the bedroom.

The chaos inside had been mostly cleared up by now, with only some irreparable furniture piled to the side, ready to be discarded.

There were also some broken papers and yellow paper scattered around.

Seeing Li Yidao emerge, Sister Zhou, who was closest to him, spoke hurriedly,

“Did I wake you up? I accidentally made some noise while moving a chair.” Li Yidao shook his head. “It’s okay. I should get up too.”

“That’s good. Originally, we planned to wait for you to get up before tidying up, but the new furniture we ordered is arriving soon, so we wanted to clear some space first.”

“Oh, thank you for your effort,” Li Yidao replied casually.

To him, spending money on some furniture was no big deal. It was just a matter of a few bucks.

Currently, Li Yidao felt like he had more money than he could spend. The tips he received from live streaming on the platform were still untouched.

However, he knew it was undoubtedly a substantial amount.

Nowadays, he didn’t know where he needed to spend money anymore.

Therefore, he didn’t care much about these things.

It was a stark contrast to the beginning.

Remembering the early days when he and Li Yinuo struggled just to have a meal, their utility bills were overdue, and even the shop was on the verge of closure.

Now…

Everything was different. He would never worry about money again.

But at the same time… he couldn’t return to the initial state.

Sometimes, he wondered if this cheat was right or wrong.

Sometimes he wondered if this “golden finger” was a blessing from above or a punishment from the Grim Reaper.

Anyway…

In his perception, everything was so helpless.

At least, that was how it seemed now.

Because, for him, from beginning to end, he was just following things passively.

Whether it was the arrival of the system, the attention from various individuals, or the temporary missions and such, everything was passively accepted.

Thinking about this, he suddenly remembered that he hadn’t claimed the rewards for his temporary mission yet.

Hastily checking, his lifespan had increased by a thousand years without any issues.

The [Soul Exploration] skill had also been delivered.

However…

When Li Yidao looked at the ability of Soul Exploration, his expression involuntarily turned somewhat helpless.

It seemed like he was going further down this path.

Sometimes he couldn’t help but feel how absurd it was.

He initially just wanted to be a small-time streamer, but why…

Now he was encountering increasingly mysterious things?

He was gradually delving into the unknown side of this world.

Not only that, he felt as if it should be this way.

In the depths of fate, everything had already been arranged for him!

His arrangement was just like this, traversing the other side of this world!

Sighing deeply, he stopped dwelling on it.

Instead, he stared at an unopened treasure box, deep in thought.

[Grim Reaper’s Surprise Box]

There was an extra Grim Reaper’s Surprise Box?

It seemed that this so-called Grim Reaper’s Surprise Box wasn’t part of the original mission rewards, right?

Upon closer inspection, Li Yidao noticed something.

This Grim Reaper’s treasure box had a line of notes, belonging to the additional rewards for the mission.

It meant that it was a reward for completing the mission perfectly.

Perfect?

Was this mission really considered perfect?

What a joke!

What left Li Yidao speechless was that there was nothing else inside, only five talismans.

It was the same five talismans he had used up previously!

Was this a restock?

He deeply suspected that the system possessed its own consciousness!

And in all likelihood, it saw that Li Yidao was running low on attack talismans from the Grim Reaper’s Surprise Box and decided to replenish them! “Dao, Brother Dao? How should we deal with these things?”

Seeing Li Yidao’s silence, Sister Zhou tentatively inquired.

Hearing Sister Zhou’s question, Li Yidao paused, then looked at the pile of worn and damaged funeral supplies stacked together.

After a moment of contemplation, he nodded.

“Just throw them away.”

These items were relatively common, and he hadn’t used the Soul Attachment skill himself. So, for him, these things didn’t matter much. Hearing Li Yidao’s response, Sister Zhou and the others nodded.

“Okay, we’ll dispose of them later.”

Li Yidao nodded gently.

However…

When he raised his head to look at the pile of miscellaneous items in the middle, his brows furrowed!

He unexpectedly noticed that on top of this pile of items, there were faint traces of a peculiar black aura.

Black aura?

His expression turned somewhat serious.

Soul Gathering!

He directly used the power of Soul Gathering!

But…

There were no discoveries.

There were still only some special auras.

Li Yidao approached slowly, furrowing his brows.

As he moved, Sister Zhou, Li Xinting, and the others all wore solemn expressions.

Only Yang Qingyue’s eyes showed that she was contemplating something, perhaps sensing something unusual as well.

When Li Yidao got closer, he slowly crouched down, searching through the miscellaneous items.

Finally…

Within a yellow paper, he found a clump of black fur. The faint, elusive aura emanated from this black fur.

Silently, he picked up the yellow paper.

Then, after some thought, he walked to the side.

He picked up a lighter from the bar.

Ignition!

As the yellow paper burned, Sister Zhou and Li Xinting both wore serious expressions, observing the development of the situation!

They didn’t know how things had progressed.

Or rather, they didn’t know what was about to happen!

Things…

Many times, were really beyond normal comprehension!

As the yellow paper ignited, the clump of black fur seemed to sense a fatal crisis.

It started to retreat slowly!

Or, it seemed to want to escape!

But…

Since Li Yidao had already discovered it, how could he let it escape?

Li Yidao directly pressed down on the strand of black fur with his hand.

Then, he allowed the flames to burn!

Even if his hand was burned, he wouldn’t move at all!

Everyone watched this scene, feeling an involuntary chill running down their spines!

As the black fur burned, it seemed like everyone heard a piercing and mournful scream.

“Meow! ”

This mournful cry directly sent shivers down everyone’s spine!

Even Li Yidao felt a trace of chilling sensation!

Profoundly terrifying!

“Hoo…”

“Hoo…”

It was unclear how much time had passed.

Both Zhou Jie and Li Xinting, who had been holding their breath, simultaneously let out a sigh of relief.

From their expressions, it was evident that the recent events had instilled a significant sense of terror in them.

They never imagined that, after Yang Qingyue had chased away the black cat,

there would still be such a crisis waiting for them!

No one would be foolish enough to think that such a clump of fur was accidentally dropped by the other party.

Based on the situation, it was undoubtedly intentionally left behind.

If Li Yidao hadn’t discovered it, what kind of terrible things could happen to them.

It was impossible to predict.

“It’s my negligence,” Yang Qingyue’s expression at this moment was not great either.

She originally thought she was quite capable. In her time with the old man, her strength had undoubtedly improved significantly, especially her attack and defense capabilities.

Her mastery of “water” had reached an advanced level.

This was why the old man arranged for her to come and rescue people.

But for her, the current situation was not as easy or relaxed.

After all, she had just encountered this mysterious world.

Not only was this world strange, but even the current world was somewhat unfamiliar to her.

For over twenty years, she had basically lived in a small village.

She had never witnessed everything outside.

Now…

She needed time, real time, to integrate into the current world.

So, given the current situation, many things had far surpassed her expectations.

Everything was not as simple as she had imagined.

After all…

There were many different things in this world.

However, just when everyone thought this matter had temporarily passed, suddenly, Li Xinting’s eyes flickered for a moment.

Then, she rushed to Sister Zhou’s side and directly grabbed her right hand, pulling up her sleeve.

A black cat pattern unexpectedly appeared on Sister Zhou’s forearm. Witnessing this scene, everyone was once again shaken to the core.

What’s going on? A black cat?

“This… this… this is exactly the same as what I saw last night…” Li Xinting was completely stunned.

She was the only one who had observed the expressions and appearance of the black cat up close last night.

Because of this, when she saw the symbol on Sister Zhou’s arm, she was filled with shock and horror.

When did the black cat leave its mark on Sister Zhou?

Why didn’t they notice it before?

“Do you feel anything wrong?” Li Xinting anxiously asked Sister Zhou. Sister Zhou shook her head with a blank expression.

No, she didn’t feel anything wrong. But… this mark. It filled her heart with infinite fear!

“Is this mark… seems to be moving?”

Yang Qingyue frowned at this moment.

Her voice stirred up waves of unrest!

Moving? The mark was actually moving?

All eyes turned to it simultaneously, staring fixedly at the mark!

Sure enough!

They discovered!

This mark was actually moving!

And it was moving toward Sister Zhou’s… heart!

For a moment, Li Xinting and Sister Zhou’s eyes were filled with terror!

Especially Sister Zhou, who subconsciously looked at Li Yidao.

After all, they were just ordinary people.

In such a situation, with things they had never encountered before, how could they not panic?

But… as for Li Yidao, he was also frowning at this moment.

He looked at the small mark on Sister Zhou’s arm.

After pondering for a moment, he used Death Investigation!

But… no effect!

It was normal, actually.

It was just a small mark.

How could you expect Death Investigation to reveal anything?

Just as he was contemplating how to examine the situation of this mark or how to solve the problem of this mark, suddenly! Li Yidao’s eyes lit up!

Right! He had just gained a new skill.

When he completed the temporary mission, he acquired a new skill.

Soul Detection!

Soul Detection was different from Death Investigation; it had a broader scope!

Soul Detection! Anything related to “souls,” he could detect it!
