In the time-traveler chat group, am I the only one on Earth?

The wolfhound outside, which had been fierce and menacing, seemed to have seen a ghost when it sensed this aura.

It immediately shut its mouth and hid in a corner of the yard, trembling.

Chapter 142 The Cause of Xiao Yi's Death

The frail old man asking for water is Lu Yun.

Zhang Xingui was naturally his target.

Under the influence of Tiger Might Pill, both the wolfhound and Zhang Xingui experienced what fear truly meant.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Lu Yun decided not to waste any more time.

He put Zhang Xingui's hands behind his back, grabbed his wrist with one hand, and forced him into the bedroom.

"I'll ask you a few questions. If you answer them well, I won't kill you. If you don't answer them well..."

"No no no."

Before Lu Yun could finish speaking, Zhang Xingui hurriedly nodded.

He didn't know where this thin old man got such strength.

But at this moment, how could he dare to think about anything else?

Seeing that the other party nodded in agreement, Lu Yun pulled the rag out of his mouth.

"Big...Big brother, don't kill me, what...what do you want to know? As long as I know, I will tell you everything."

"very good!"

Lu Yun was very satisfied with Zhang Xingui's attitude and took out his phone from the other man's pocket.

What's your phone password?

"7246."

Lu Yun entered the password, and it did unlock the phone.

What is your WeChat Pay password?

“3268XX”

"Where's your ID card?"

"In my pocket."

"Did you kill two people six months ago?"

"You...you..."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingui's face immediately showed a look of horror.

Seeing this expression, a cold glint flashed in Lu Yun's eyes.

"You took 200,000 yuan in betrothal gifts, broke off the engagement and refused to return them, and now you even dare to kill someone?! Who gave you the guts to do that?"

.......

How did Xiao Yi die?

He was killed by Zhang Xingui's family.

Back on Earth, Xiao Yi, like Zhang Wuji when he was young, wasn't in good health.

There is only an elderly mother in the family, and they are not well-off.

After Xiao Yicheng started working, he met Zhang Li.

Not long after they met, Zhang Li proposed to Xiao Yi.

At first, Xiao Yi thought he had met his true love.

After all, he's not particularly good-looking, and given his family background, it's already a miracle that any girl would be willing to marry him.

But just as the two were preparing for the wedding, Zhang Li suddenly demanded a dowry of 200,000 yuan, otherwise she would not marry him.

Two hundred thousand is not much for Lu Yun now.

But for ordinary families, it can drain the savings of three generations.

Xiao Yi only has one mother, so naturally she can't come up with that much money.

However, Xiao Yi was still very naive at the time and couldn't resist Zhang Li's charm.

After some emotional turmoil, he still gave Zhang Li 200,000 yuan, which he had raised by combining his own savings, his mother's savings, and borrowing tens of thousands of yuan from a relative.

The final result is self-evident.

After receiving the money, Zhang Li not only did not marry Xiao Yi, but also argued with him for various reasons.

Finally, she even used passive-aggressive tactics to force Xiao Yi to break up with her.

Seeing that there was no way to reverse the situation, Xiao Yi had no choice but to agree.

Since we're breaking up, we should naturally get our betrothal gifts back.

But when Xiao Yi's mother brought Xiao Yi to Zhang Li to ask for the return of the twenty yuan betrothal gift, Zhang Li's family refused to return it no matter what.

There was no written receipt for this money, and it was received in cash with no bank transfer record.

They claimed they never received the 200,000.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi's mother immediately became anxious.

That's 200,000 yuan! That's more than they could ever save in their entire lives. How can they just refuse to pay it back?

In the ensuing rage and scuffle, Xiao Yi's mother was pushed to the ground by Zhang Xingui's wife, her head hitting the courtyard wall.

Blood flowed all over the floor.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yi instantly went berserk.

However, being frail and sickly since childhood, he was no match for Zhang Xingui.

Later, Zhang Xingui saw that Xiao Yi's mother was seriously injured. After saving her, he would not only have to spend a lot of money on medical expenses, but he might also have to return the bride price and bear criminal responsibility.

So, without further ado, they killed Xiao Yi and his mother.

The body was buried in the back hill.

It didn't matter if Xiao Yi himself died, but his mother, who had raised him with great difficulty, was also killed.

This filled Xiao Yi with murderous intent towards Zhang Xingui's family.

So, Lu Yun arrived.

"Big...Big brother, I didn't mean to, you don't know what happened..."

When Lu Yun exposed his past, Zhang Xingui was filled with shock and anger.

While pretending to cry and repent, he quickly looked for opportunities to escape and fight back.

In his mind, the old man in front of him was just a little stronger.

As long as you take up arms, you're not without a chance to survive.

His family had more weapons than the average family.

Heaven seemed to be on his side, for he soon found a steel awl behind the door, which was used to hit stones.

Feeling that Lu Yun had loosened his grip, he immediately broke free and ran toward the steel cone.

"Fuck your mother, get the hell out of here..."

puff!

Zhang Xingui picked up the steel awl, preparing to turn around and fight back, but before he could even utter the word 'die,' he felt a sharp pain in his chest.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the steel cone had somehow ended up in the old man's hand and was now stuck in his heart.

The body's temperature and strength slowly disappeared with this blow.

Zhang Xingui stared wide-eyed, utterly incredulous.

After a dizzying moment, he collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide open in death, blood pooling around him.

"This is what it feels like to kill someone."

Looking at the corpse lying on the ground, Lu Yun muttered something to himself.

After saying that, he activated the appearance modifier, transformed into Zhang Xingui's appearance, and closed the bedroom door.

........

Xiao Yi's mission, like Li Zhou's mission, is to kill.

However, the reward methods are slightly different.

Li Zhou's mission is to kill one person, and you get 600 points.

Xiao Yi's task was to kill the entire family of three, and he would receive 1500 points in return.

Therefore, Lu Yun still needs to kill the remaining two to receive the mission reward.

Originally, since Zhang Xingui's family had committed murder for money, Lu Yun only needed to make a call to the police to ensure that the family of three received the punishment they deserved.

But they may not necessarily be sentenced to death.

Even if a verdict is reached, it will probably take several years.

Lu Yun couldn't wait that long.

Furthermore, he may also travel to other dimensions to carry out dangerous missions.

So what's wrong with killing a few scumbags to practice first?

no problem.

As for why Lu Yun, having already identified his target, still spent so much time wasting time talking to Zhang Xingui, even giving him a chance to retaliate.

That's because it was his first time killing someone, and he needed to mentally prepare himself.

Confirming the other party's guilt and arousing his killing intent was a way for Lu Yun to calm his emotions.

This method has proven to be quite effective.

At least after Lu Yun killed Zhang Xingui, he didn't feel as nervous, scared, guilty, disgusted, or even vomit as others had said.
