Mind reading saves the whole family; I'm firmly in the role of a charlatan.

Chapter 250 Smeared in the face by the world's malice

Lady Qi's struggling steps toward the exit suddenly halted, and everyone's gaze once again focused on Du Anrao.

Du Anrao couldn't help but shudder at the sight.

[No, why is everyone looking at me like that? I was just asking casually.]

Xi Jingyue: "..." I bet my integrity that this is definitely not just a casual question!
Lady Qi could vent her emotions on her husband without restraint, but she dared not yell at Master Du, who could save her child.

After barely managing to calm herself down, Lady Qi replied in a hoarse voice, "His younger brother's son is named Liu Tianyuan, Tian as in heaven and earth, and Yuan as in origin."

How old is he this year?

"Seventeen, and after the New Year you'll be eighteen."

"Studied at the High School Affiliated to North China University of Technology?"

"how do you know?"

Du Anrao: ==
[Of course, it's because I, your older sister, have the script! But isn't this world going to be ruined? They're even releasing something like this.]

Xi Jingyue's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart jumped.

It turns out that what's related to Liu Tianyuan is an infinite flow horror novel.

The so-called "infinite flow" genre involves pulling people from the real world into another world or space. In this other world, these people need to use their intelligence, talents, and special skills to survive to the extreme. If they make a mistake, they may die in this other world and never be able to return to reality.

Du Anrao didn't actually like this type of novel because it often depicted ordinary people with weak abilities in a very straightforward and explicit way, who would be beheaded if they were not careful and triggered certain plots with NPCs. This was done to emphasize the dangers of the other world and the precarious situation of the protagonists.

In addition, the depiction of human nature is also very oppressive and heavy, making people fully understand what it means that "the most terrifying thing in this world is not ghosts and gods, but the terrifying human heart that cannot be seen through".

However, out of caution, she still tried to skim through this type of book, noting down the characters and the general plot so that she could compare them with reality and not miss any details.

The appearance of Liu Tianyuan now undoubtedly confirms the foresight of Du Anrao's actions.

Du Anrao was quite impressed with the infinite flow horror novel that Liu Tianyuan was writing. It wasn't that the book was particularly well-written, but rather that the author suddenly started reporting on the newspaper while writing.

After going through countless hardships and paying a huge price, the protagonist group finally returned to reality, only to find that this so-called reality was the last world they had to experience. In order to survive, the companions who could have relied on each other suddenly began to distrust and be wary of one another, and in the end, the whole group was wiped out, leaving no one alive, resulting in a major bad ending.

Du Anrao: "..." He was smeared with the malice of the world.

Xi Jingyue: "..." Ah, this is indeed vicious!

Liu Tianyuan is not a main character in the book, but he is a member of the main character group, and he is the youngest member of the group. He was about eighteen years old when he first entered the story, and he was not even twenty when he died.

Despite his young age, he managed to carve out a place for himself in a group of talented protagonists, all because he had a ghost by his side who he grew up with and had an excellent relationship with.

Because of its existence, Liu Tianyuan was born with the ability to see things that others could not, and he was more sensitive to non-human beings than ordinary people.

Because of this cheat, Liu Tianyuan helped the main characters avoid danger many times, and naturally became the youngest and most beloved member of the group. Du Anrao hadn't thought much of it when he first read it, but now that he knew the true relationship between this so-called ghost and Liu Tianyuan, he found it a bit hard to believe.

[Although I know these kinds of stories are mostly told from the protagonists' perspectives and are often embellished, I really couldn't stand this one. They had an extremely good relationship, yet they stole someone's destiny, killed their parents, seized their family's property, and wiped out their entire family! Having a relative like that is truly unbelievable!]

Xi Jingyue: "..." Who says otherwise?

Du Anrao closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, barely managing to suppress the outburst that was about to spill out.

"If it really is him, then what you're looking for is probably not too far from him. If you really don't know where to look, you can keep a close eye on him; you might soon have an unexpected surprise."

Du Anrao's meaning was self-evident, and Ms. Qi gave a cold laugh, her laughter laced with sarcasm.

Mr. Liu's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and the last glimmer of hope that the child might be innocent finally vanished completely.

"I understand, thank you Master Du. Once we find my poor child, I hope Master Du will be willing to help us." As she spoke, Madam Qi slipped a bank card into Du Anrao's hand.

Du Anrao: "..." I know this one well.

Having experienced numerous displays of wealth and the accumulation of enormous assets, Du Anrao is now able to accept these small rewards without batting an eye, and even remembers to give the two of them some advice.

"Just come find me after you find what you need. Aunt Qiu knows where I live."

Ms. Qi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had accepted the gifts, and nodded repeatedly.

"You should try to keep a low profile and be cautious in your actions, in case they become desperate and destroy the main body."

Ms. Qi shuddered, and her anger seemed to have been doused with a bucket of cold water. Blinded by anger, she forgot about this point.

Her child's remains are still in the hands of those beasts. If they are pushed too far, it's entirely possible that they will destroy the body and leave no evidence.

The thought that her child's traces might disappear from the world, and that the harm and grievances he suffered would be left unaddressed and unrecoverable, filled Ms. Qi with bitterness. However, no matter how painful or angry she was, she remained calm and composed.

"Thank you for the reminder, Master Du. We know what to do now. Please forgive our rudeness, but we have urgent matters to attend to today, so we'll have to take our leave now. We've already paid the bill for today's meal. If there's anything else you'd like to eat or drink, please feel free to order, and we'll put it on our tab."

Ms. Qi took a deep breath, her eyes filled with the decisiveness of a mother: "After we finish dealing with the household matters, we will invite you all to dinner to apologize. I hope you can forgive us and do us the honor of attending."

Logically, these two people needed something from Du Anrao, so it was really impolite of them to leave halfway through.

Having heard about their family's plight and understanding why the two were in such a hurry to leave, everyone could understand.

Therefore, upon hearing their words, none of the people in the private room tried to stop them.

The couple came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

The only difference is that they came full of anxiety, but left in a fierce and menacing manner, looking like they were sharpening their knives and eager to rush to someone's house and start a big fight.
