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

Chapter 484 You're quite the bender and stretcher.
Du Anrao was stunned for a while before he realized who he was talking about, and his expression changed slightly.

"How could he die? The cause of death was..."

This Qu Youliang is the rich second-generation member of the previous infinite flow protagonist group. He is also one of the main accomplices who conspired with Liu Tianyuan to assassinate her third brother in order to curry favor with Xiao Jinhang.

According to the original plot, Qu Youliang should have had about six months left before he died from an accidental infection by his reporter girlfriend, but now... he's dead!

"The exact cause of death is still unclear. Our people have sealed off the scene immediately, and those who entered his home have taken basic precautions. We believe we will have results soon."

Since her last conversation with Xu Ronghai and others, those whose names were recorded in Du Anrao's notebook have been under close scrutiny by relevant departments.

Especially the main characters, it can be said that everyone who has had contact with them recently has been subtly screened to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Now, Qu Youliang's death is like a signal, a signal that a war is about to break out, making everyone's nerves tense.

Du Anrao listened to his words of comfort and knew that Xu Ronghai and the others had made arrangements in advance, so his heart was relieved a little.

After thinking for a moment, she called Xu Ronghai herself to inquire about Qu Youliang's situation and asked him to let her know if there was any new information. She also reminded him to pay more attention to the other members of the main character group.

Because Qu Youliang's death is likely just the beginning, and the other members of the main group will follow in his footsteps one after another, especially the lawyer in the main group. According to the script, he will be the second one to die after Qu Youliang.

Xu Ronghai listened to advice and believed Du Anrao's words. That very day, he added a group of people to the group of people.

Perhaps because they were prepared in advance, the cause of Qu Youliang's death was quickly determined.

He died from a virus he had never seen before, a virus that, once infected, showed no visible abnormalities on the body's surface and did not even cause symptoms such as fever, cough, dizziness, or a cold.

However, the viral clusters it generates will gradually corrode all of the patient's organs from the inside out. By the time it is discovered, it is too late. The victim will turn into a pool of pus, unrecognizable, much like the kind of bone-dissolving liquid used to destroy corpses in old martial arts movies.

Xu Ronghai's men could only confirm the identities of the victims by examining their clothing and the DNA evidence left behind.

Upon hearing the news from Xu Ronghai, Du Anrao's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally died.

The way this rich kid died was exactly the same as described in the original story.

This means that the real challenge is already in sight, but this is not what Du Anrao is most worried about at the moment.

Qu Youliang's sudden death meant that her previous ominous premonition had come true. Not only did the plot on Xi Yanjia's side accelerate, but the plots of others also seemed to be affected.

Especially after meeting Wen Xia Nuan, she felt more and more that something was out of control, and at this time, the unknown meant terrible danger!

Due to this sudden situation, Du Yihan was urgently recalled to the research institute to study solutions to suppress this type of virus.

Du Anrao then returned to Du Desheng's house to think about how to deal with these matters.

Just when she was at her wit's end and full of worries, her master, who had been missing for several months, finally reappeared.

Calm Mind: It has finally come to this moment, which is earlier than I expected.

Du Anrao was stunned. Above this message were her previous accidental discovery that she had entered into a ghost marriage with Xi Jingyue in the book, as well as a bunch of complaints and questions she had sent to her master after recently learning that her family could hear her thoughts. Combining these contents with his reply, Du Anrao vaguely sensed something fishy going on.

Forgive and forgive when you can.

"Forgive and forget": What does that mean? You sound like you know everything. Tell me honestly, are you hiding something from me?
The master did not give a direct response, but instead changed the subject.

Calm as Still Water: You went to the capital? Did you see that different girl? Things are probably going to get chaotic there soon, aren't they?
Forgive others when you can!

Forgive and forget: How do you even know this? Don't tell me you figured all this out yourself. We've lived together for over ten years, do you think I don't know your capabilities?

Du Anrao's merciless exposure of shortcomings almost made someone thousands of miles away so angry that they leaned back and wanted to quit on the spot.

Heart as Still as Water: Oh, since you look down on your master so much, I suppose you don't need a half-baked master like me to answer your questions. This annoying old man should just continue traveling around, so as not to get in the way of you young people. If I say a few more words, I'll be complained about for being long-winded.

Du Anrao was startled and quickly tried to calm him down.

Forgive and forget: Master, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I was blind and offended you. Please forgive me this time, I promise I will never be so rude again! [Frantically kowtowing.jpg]

Heart is like water:...

Calm as still water: You are quite adaptable.

Du Anrao realized that his master had been appeased, so after thinking for a moment, he decided to make a video call to him.

The video call was quickly answered. On the other end of the phone screen was an elderly man in his sixties or seventies with a white beard, dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, with his hair in a bun. Against the backdrop of beautiful mountains and rivers, he really did have a kind of otherworldly and ethereal air about him.

Just thinking about how this old immortal spends all day glued to his phone watching videos, reading novels, and gossiping, and staying up all night playing games and cultivating immortality, immediately diminishes his otherworldly aura.

Du Anrao didn't bother to investigate where he was. As soon as the video call connected, he went straight to the point: "What exactly happened? Before we came down the mountain, didn't you tell me that there are no gods or ghosts in this world? But what's going on with Wen Xia Nuan? How can one body contain two souls? And what is that thing talking to itself in her head? It doesn't look like a human or a ghost, it looks more like..."

"Hallucination."

"what?"

"The first reaction of ordinary people when they encounter this kind of thing is hallucination or auditory hallucination. Those who are more psychologically vulnerable may also feel that the voice is their own shameful thoughts, in short, psychological suggestion."

Du Anrao: "..." What is this? Suddenly switching from a metaphysical channel to a science channel?
"In fact, it's pretty much the same. But it has little to do with her inner thoughts; it's mainly because she was influenced by others."

"Others? That means it's still involved..."

Before Du Anrao could finish speaking, he was interrupted: "No, there are indeed no gods or ghosts in this world."

Du Anrao frowned: "Then..."

"Though there are no gods or ghosts, there is the Way of Heaven."
