Myth News Forecast

Chapter 66 The Gamble

Du Wang changed into dry clothes and left the training room.

Only then did he turn on his phone and log onto the forum.

The forum is full of discussions about the mountain city, and all the posts are more or less related to it.

Most of them are just expressions of emotion and have no real meaning.

Only a few posts are taking a closer look at the deeper meaning of this forecast.

He selected a post that interested him the most and clicked on it.

"A Brief Discussion of the Essence of the Immortal's Dojo Based on the Pinned Forecast in the Mountain City!"

Xiaolingtong: "First of all, to state the conclusion, I believe that there is no essential difference between a Taoist temple and a demonic place; both are time bombs aimed at humanity."

"The wording used in the top-of-the-line forecast of the mountain city proves this point."

"When the temple is destroyed, the immortals emerge. This means that the immortals have been trapped in the temple. Once the temple disappears, the immortals will break free, and demons and monsters will run rampant."

"Moreover, although the forecast uses the term 'immortal,' to be honest, judging from the terrifying consequences in the forecast, 'immortal' is more like a god from a barbaric era who does not distinguish between good and evil, and has nothing to do with the Taoist immortals we are familiar with."

"Especially the description of the strange phenomenon of the immortal's dojo in the mountain city forecast: a blood-red star across the sky, a pen holder broken into pieces... I searched through ancient books but couldn't find any corresponding immortal."

"Therefore, I believe that the meaning of immortals in mythological prophecies is different from the meaning we usually understand."

"Perhaps in ancient times, immortals and demons could be equated."

Fei-ge: "What you're saying is just speculation. What if the immortals are the ones we usually talk about?"

The Universe's Strongest Braised Egg: "My thoughts are similar to the original poster's, but I think the immortal might not be imprisoned. Instead, he might be deliberately accumulating power, waiting for the deadline to come before unleashing it."

"Not feeling pressured: The original poster's analysis is excellent, so can the mountain city resolve the Immortal's Dojo?"

Fan Yu: "I know some extraordinary individuals in the mountain city. I heard that the authorities are soliciting clues from them, and the reward is at least five million if it is useful."

My name is Li Feiyu: "Five million? I wish I could get that."

Chess reserve team member: "The officials definitely can't solve this; we still have to let chess handle it."

Mighty Bro: "Hey, did you pay him for chess? He's so good at sucking up!"

The night is so dark: "What if there's a forecast for Nancheng too? Holy crap, I don't want to die!"

Step by step, they climbed to the top: "Solve the case. The person upstairs lives in Zhengyang District. They definitely won't die, they can just move to another place. But once the Immortal's Dojo erupts, the descent incident can no longer be concealed."

Aji Loves to Eat Ze: "I'm tired, let's destroy it."

Judging from the comments on the forum, most people hold a pessimistic attitude towards the situation in the mountain city.

That's normal.

After all, the immortal's dojo is too mysterious, and there is no official record of successfully conquering it, which always makes people feel uneasy.

Even within the investigation department, there are probably quite a few people who share the same thoughts.

Du Wang then thought of the mythological knowledge he had acquired.

"The descent of evil spirits is a scheme by the gods and immortals."

"Mythical creatures are bait for gods and immortals."

If the descent of evil spirits is a scheme by the gods and immortals, then what about the immortals' sacred sites?

Is it necessary for the immortals and gods to personally step into the trap and get involved?

Or perhaps they had unavoidable difficulties and reasons for doing so?

Just then, Du Wang felt a tap on the shoulder.

He turned around and saw it was Chen Qingyao.

"Team Leader Chen."

"There's something I need to do... come over here for a moment."

Chen Qingyao took the lead and walked to the outdoor balcony.

Du Wang followed.

The two leaned against the railing, watching the team members below who were coming out to eat in twos and threes.

Chen Qingyao took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, skillfully put it in her mouth and lit it.

Today she was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt with a gray sports bra, her short hair hanging down to her ears, and she wasn't wearing earrings.

Taking a drag of her cigarette, Chen Qingyao waved the smoke away and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have smoked in front of the patients."

"It's okay." Du Wang could tell that she wasn't in a good mood.

Have you seen any signs of sadness these past few days?

"No, what's wrong with him?"

"He can't hold on much longer."

Du Wang froze, then asked, "What do you mean?"

"A few days ago, a ferocious demon that had been on the run for a long time suddenly appeared in his residential area."

"After he discovered and reported it, he rushed forward alone to face the demon in order to save people."

"When we arrived, the demons fled."

"But his intestines were severely damaged, some of his internal organs were swallowed up, and he can only lie in the hospital bed and rely on machines to keep him alive."

Chen Qingyao took a deep breath: "He's been in a critical state for the past few days. But this morning, he suddenly woke up and gave some instructions."

"He said he lost the bet with you and left you a keepsake, something for you to..."

"Which hospital is he in?" Du Wang suddenly interrupted Captain Chen.

After a moment of silence, Captain Chen said, "South City First Hospital."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she saw Du Wang flip over the railing and jump from the second floor.

"Nine Ears!"

The young man shouted in the air, then landed, rolled to dissipate the force, and darted away like a cheetah.

Not long after, Cheng Huo's car drove out of the parking lot and disappeared in a flash.

Chen Qingyao's phone suddenly rang.

"Hey, Captain Chen, I'm about to run a red light, could you please let the traffic police know?"

For the first time, Cheng Huo's voice was no longer carefree; it sounded unusually serious.

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qingyao leaned against the railing, threw away the burnt-out cigarette butt, and lit another one for herself.

13 minute later.

The reckless SUV arrived at the First Hospital of South City.

Because the elevator was too crowded, Du Wang and Cheng Huo rushed up to the 9th floor through the fire escape.

Room 901, a single room.

The machine that was detecting vital signs was making a monotonous "beep" sound, which was particularly jarring in the quiet room.

He lay on the hospital bed, his body wrapped in bandages, his eyes closed.

Du Wang pushed open the door and slowly walked to the bedside.

He discovered that the young man's once flowing black hair had vanished, and his bald head was covered in scars, with a huge stitched line extending from the back of his head to his eye.

This is only what can be seen with the naked eye; the injuries are even more severe in places that cannot be seen.

According to the doctor, he shouldn't have survived with injuries.

My sorrow is stubborn; I'm holding onto it tightly.

Unfortunately, that breath of life is about to dissipate.

"Beep...beep..."

As if sensing something, Chou Chang suddenly opened her eyes a crack.

Then he turned his head with difficulty, and when he saw the young man by the bed, his lips parted slightly.

"You...you're welcome..."

Du Wang shook his head: "I won the bet, so the belongings are rightfully mine."

"So you...came to see the joke?"

"No," Du Wang said earnestly, "I just wanted to tell you that I will help you get revenge."

Her worried gaze froze on the young man's face: "Okay."

He remained silent for a moment, then slowly clenched his fist, trying to raise it, but always fell just short.

Du Wang reached out and lifted his hand, then made a fist and bumped it with his.

"Let's gamble one more time..." A sorrowful voice drifted by.

"you say."

"Resolve this within two months, and you win..."

After saying that, her wrist sank, and her eyelids drooped heavily.

"drop…………"

The room was filled with a buzzing sound.

The doctors and nurses outside rushed in and pushed Du Wang out of the crowd.

He stared at the calm expression on the young man's face on the bed and muttered to himself, "Two months is too long. One month, and I'll send that demon to see you."
