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

Chapter 486 You are the Last Hope
When the truth about the family's collective misfortune was suddenly revealed, Du Anrao's lips twitched a few times, and he decisively decided to keep it to himself.

Otherwise, after this matter is over, her third brother will probably face a collective condemnation from the family.

"Without your third brother, and without all the preparations we have now, everyone would be completely passive in the face of this overwhelming malice. After the initial panic and chaos, when we calm down and look for solutions, we will find that their research speed is simply not keeping up with the mutation speed of that thing."

At that time, the world will be completely turned into a living hell, but this is only the beginning. Once it absorbs enough energy from this event and begins to change the rules of heaven and earth, people will no longer face these intangible things, but all kinds of terrible natural disasters.

No matter when, humans are the most insignificant beings in the face of nature.

This wave of attacks would be enough to annihilate all life; that would be the true... apocalypse.

When Du Anrao read Liu Tianyuan's book before, he was also a little uneasy and worried, but he was more ambitious about the future that had not yet arrived and could be prevented and changed. It was far less nerve-wracking than when he heard his master talking about it now, as if he had actually experienced that future.

The moment this thought crossed Du Anrao's mind, he couldn't help but shudder.

"But now the situation has changed. My third brother is not only unharmed, but he has also received attention from higher-ups ahead of time. The main characters who carried the source are also being closely monitored. Does this mean we still have a chance, still... a chance of winning?"

After Du Anrao said this, the old man on the other side of the screen remained silent for a long time. Then, under her tense gaze, he reached out and touched his gray beard, saying mysteriously, "Who knows? Anything is possible before the body cools down."

"?!"

"Master, Grandpa, Ancestor, we're talking about serious matters! Can't you be a little more reliable? If you keep this up, I'm really going to cause trouble!"

Looking at the familiar nonchalant demeanor of the person opposite him, Du Anrao felt that he had been a fool to place his hopes on him just moments before!

The old man, however, seemed oblivious to her breakdown, and chuckled, "Look at what you're saying. When have I, your master, ever been unreliable?"

"Hehe..." If he hadn't been tricked for over a decade, Du Anrao would have actually believed his story. So why can people be so self-righteous and shameless sometimes?!

"And am I wrong? As long as people are alive, anything is possible. How true that is! It's practically golden advice."

"..."

Perhaps the disdain and contempt in Du Anrao's eyes were too obvious, or perhaps the person who said this nonsense couldn't hold back, after the old man made a fuss for a while, he put away the smile on his face and said in a deep voice: "Even if I said there was no chance and no chance of winning, would you just give up and ignore this matter?"

Du Anrao was stunned. The answer to this question was obvious. Not to mention how many people would die if this matter were left unattended, no one could escape unscathed when the nest is overturned. Just looking at how much the new Heavenly Dao hated their family and wished they could exterminate them, she could not accept her fate!
"Isn't that settled? Young people are a bit hot-blooded and impulsive. Before you do something, don't think too much about gains and losses or consequences. Just focus on working hard and forging ahead. Believe in yourself, believe in your heart, and believe in your family and friends. No matter what, they will always be your strongest support."

The old man's words were more palatable than his previous ones, but Du Anrao wasn't so easily fooled. He said, both amused and annoyed, "After all this talk, I have everyone backing me up except you, right?"

The old man touched his nose and chuckled, "Don't put it so harshly. Your master is, after all, a person outside the secular world. Getting involved in too many worldly affairs can easily attract karmic entanglements and burdens, which is not conducive to my cultivation."

Du Anrao placed his phone on the table, crossed his arms, and looked down at him with a sidelong glance, as if to say, "You try to make something up, make something up as much as you can, I want to see what other tricks you can come up with."

The old man coughed lightly, his eyes darting away, ultimately not daring to meet her gaze.

Seeing this, Du Anrao sighed and didn't press him any further.

"So, Qu Youliang's death wasn't accidental after all." "There aren't that many coincidences in this world. That Miss Wen's strange behavior had already caught its attention. Having its elaborate scheme ruined so thoroughly, how could it possibly be willing to let it go so easily?"

A dark glint flashed in the old man's eyes: "His death is a warning, and also a signal to start a war."

Although he had roughly guessed this beforehand, Du Anrao's heart still skipped a beat when he actually heard him say it.

"Scared?"

Du Anrao remained silent for a while, then shook his head: "I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid either. It's natural to feel uncertain when you suddenly find out about something like this, but I'm not easily intimidated. The initiative in this matter isn't in my hands. From the beginning, I've been passively enduring and passively retaliating, and it's likely to continue like this. Since that's the case, there's no use in being afraid."

Du Anrao met his unreliable master's gaze with a sly smile: "Like you just said, let's just do it. At worst, we'll all perish together, but we can still reunite in the afterlife. There's a saying among drama fans who love shipping: double death is a happy ending. Similarly, in ensemble dramas, even a total wipeout is a happy ending!"

"???"

The self-proclaimed 5G surfing expert immediately showed the bewildered expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone. Are all young people these days so amazing?
However, Du Anrao's mental state saved him the trouble of offering comfort, something he wasn't particularly good at.

"Just keep that in mind. The plot unfolding ahead of schedule was indeed unexpected, but it also means..."

It panicked.

Du Anrao narrowed his eyes, exchanged a few tacit words with his master, and then prepared to hang up the phone.

As he was about to hang up, Du Anrao hesitated, then said, "Master, I..."

"what happened?"

"……nothing."

Du Anrao wanted to ask, since you know everything, was it for this day, this moment, that you overcame all difficulties to bring her back to the mountain when you first met her?
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she felt there was no need to say them. Even if he had approached her with the intention of testing and taking advantage of her from the beginning, the kindness he had shown her over the years was real, and the good he had done for her over the years was also real.

Perhaps their meeting and contact stemmed from calculation, but who can guarantee that there wasn't a trace of sincerity in all those years of living together day and night?

Having figured this out, Du Anrao didn't dwell on it further, but instead decisively changed the subject to another problem.

"why me?"

If we take his third brother as the standard, with so many relatives in their family, why did they have to choose her?
The old man remained silent for a long time, and Du Anrao also lost patience, assuming that he was unwilling to talk.

"Forget it, I don't necessarily need to know about this."

He hung up the video after saying that, and thus missed the old man's final words.

"Because you are our last hope."
