Chapter 127: Prepare the Kill! Li Yidao’s Madness!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On a calm morning, Li Yidao arrived at the funeral parlor early.
The funeral was scheduled quite early, even before the break of dawn. The staff of the funeral parlor hadn’t even started their work yet.
Only a few on-duty employees had rushed in.
In the quiet chapel at this time, apart from a worker, only Li Yidao was present.
Looking at Wang Zicai’s body lying in the farewell hall, Li Yidao deeply bowed.
Wang Zicai didn’t hold any resentment when he died. Li Yidao had many funeral sessions, intending to help him pass away peacefully in his final moments.
Many grudges left unresolved at death might lead to an eternal cycle, forever trapped in a place unable to move on. But Wang Zicai’s death was peaceful.
Maybe…
In his last moment, he had fulfilled his final wish.
Just as the body was about to enter the cremation furnace, Li Yidao noticed a middle-aged couple entering, supporting each other. Their expressions were full of sadness, and they held flowers in their hands.
They even wore mourning ribbons on their chests.
It was clear they had come to pay their respects.
Li Yidao frowned and looked at them. “Who are you?”
“We’ve come to bid farewell to Mr. Wang. He did something we didn’t dare to do but wanted to. We’re here to thank him.”
Hearing this, and observing their facial features, which bore a resemblance to the female college student, he understood everything.
Li Yidao nodded gently and didn’t say anything else.
What was initially a solitary farewell turned into a farewell involving three people.
As the ashes were carefully placed in an exquisite urn, Li Yidao still felt that the world was messed up! Right and wrong?
Good and evil?
They were just different judgments from different perspectives!
A person was made of two sides.
However, which side took the lead made the difference.
The sun rose slowly from the east, and a hint of sadness pierced through the hazy sunlight.
An hour later, Li Yidao was already standing in the cemetery.
The grave of Wang Zicai was purchased by the Li couple.
Originally, Li Yidao intended to help Wang Zicai find a suitable feng Shui spot in his hometown for his final resting place. However, he realized that being laid to rest in a tombstone was also a good choice.
So, he agreed to the request of the Li couple.
Standing in front of the tombstone, Li Yidao’s expression was calm.
A concern had been resolved.
As always, he followed his heart.
After witnessing Wang Zicai’s tragic situation yesterday and seeing his liberation in the final moments of death, Li Yidao had the thought of accompanying him on his journey.
And he did just that.
Taking out his phone, Li Yidao opened a platform and started a live stream.
He hadn’t forgotten the messages from the netizens yesterday. If possible, they wanted to accompany Wang Zicai on his journey.
No matter whether Wang Zicai’s action was right or wrong, they just wanted to simply accompany this lonely soul.
Previously, inside the funeral parlor, Li Yidao couldn’t live stream, as many things required reverence. Plus, Li Hui had reminded him that some matters couldn’t be made so public.
Originally, Li Yidao wasn’t allowed to participate in the earlier processes. He could only collect the ashes at the end.
So, it was only after the tombstone was erected that Li Yidao opened the live stream.
As he started the live stream, fans who had been eagerly waiting flooded in!
It exceeded one million viewers!
This was the number of online viewers in Li Yidao’s live stream in just five minutes!
It could only be described as astonishing!
Li Yidao remained silent, adjusting the camera to focus on Wang Zicai’s tombstone.
“Brother Dao really did it. I know the old man from yesterday is called Wang
Zicai. ”
“Yeah, Brother Dao did it. Unfortunately, I can’t be there in person.” “Let’s all accompany this poor soul together.”
Quickly, the screen was flooded with one candle after another, as well as continuously scrolling folded hands emojis.
A silent funeral came to an end in the solemn witness of millions of people.
With the conclusion of the funeral, this matter was pushed to the forefront!
Opinions varied widely!
As always, perspectives differed depending on where one stood and how one interpreted things. Personal thoughts and feelings naturally varied.
However, Li Yidao paid no attention to any of it…
After the funeral, Li Yidao directly got into a car outside the cemetery. Li Hui was waiting for him.
Li Hui didn’t engage in small talk with Li Yidao but drove directly to a residential building in the suburbs.
Soon, they took an elevator to the tenth floor.
The structure here was one household per floor.
When Li Yidao followed Li Hui into the apartment with a puzzled expression, he was taken aback.
This… was this really a residential building? Looking at the arrangement in the room, it was unmistakably an office, right?
At this moment, Wu Qiang walked out from another room. He greeted Li Yidao upon seeing him.
“You’re here.”
Li Yidao nodded slightly. He also knew Wu Qiang.
Indeed, Wu Qiang was Li Hui’s superior.
But what exactly were these two bringing him here for?
“Find a place to sit first. Once I sort out the documents in my hands, we can start,” Wu Qiang said.
Li Yidao didn’t question it. He found a seat and sat down.
Since he was here, there was no need to rush things.
Li Hui went to help Wu Qiang.
It was evident that both of them were busy and focused!
Half an hour passed, and Li Yidao’s stomach was even growling.
Finally!
Li Hui and Wu Qiang walked over.
“Bang!”
A thick stack of documents was placed on the table in front of Li Yidao.
It made a dull thud and even raised a bit of dust.
This time, Li Yidao was completely puzzled!
What was going on?
He gestured toward the documents and then looked at the two of them.
“Officers, what is this?”
“Inside here are profiles of thirteen individuals, all drug traffickers who deserve to be executed a hundred times!” Li Yidao was speechless.
At this moment, he was utterly speechless.
Initially, Li Hui had mentioned the Blade Wolf incident to him.
He thought it was a situation similar to the previous one.
Someone had escaped abroad, live-streaming or posting videos to taunt
others.
They wanted him to take a look and maybe intervene.
But now, they were handing him profiles of thirteen people.
What did they take him for?
The Criminal Terminator?
Was this a joke?
Li Yidao didn’t mind taking action against some scum.
But this situation was absolutely not the same!
If he actually acted today, he seriously doubted his future.
No! There was no need to doubt it!
He was sure that his future would not be easy!
He was certain that the authorities, including Unit 36, would likely resort to drastic measures!
They may lock him up.
Then, through various means, they would force him to intervene.
He believed this possibility was there!
Then what would he become?
“Carefully examine the profiles of these individuals, and then… take them down!”
“These people are all heinous criminals. You don’t need any moral burden!”
Wu Qiang was still indignant and even used a somewhat commanding tone.
Hearing Wu Qiang’s words, Li Yidao slowly put down the cup in his hand.
His expression gradually grew somber.
Li Hui stood at the side.
Standing by, Li Hui observed Li Yidao’s expression and seemed to sense something.
A momentary panic surged within him, realizing he might be in trouble!
He hurriedly spoke up, “It’s like this, Mr. Li. These people are all extremely wicked criminals. Our police force has paid a high price to apprehend them.” “Captain Wu is just anxious to make a breakthrough through some alternative means.”
“So we…”
Li Yidao didn’t wait for Li Hui to finish. He got up directly and waved his hand.
He stood up.
“Sorry, I think you two officers might have misunderstood me.”
“I’m just an ordinary funeral shop owner. My expertise lies in conducting funerals.’
“I can even help you if you encounter ghosts.”
“But catching criminals… is really not within my scope of abilities, so… I m sorry.”
He smiled slightly.
He turned around, intending to leave.
But just as he was about to reach the door, Wu Qiang let out a sigh.
“Ah… Those six drug dealers are all members of a gang. In the past five years, we’ve had 11 anti-narcotics heroes killed by their hands.”
“Even one hero’s family got implicated.”
“Just a week ago, our undercover agent vanished… and his family’s information was leaked.”
“We received recent intel that this gang is planning to target our undercover agent’s family. Though we’ve taken protective measures…”
“But these people are all wicked criminals! We can’t guarantee 100% safety for our martyrs’ families…”
Li Yidao, who was already stepping out of the house, stopped in his tracks.
Wu Qiang seemed to be speaking to himself.
“What right do these people have to live… why!”
“Actually, I don’t know if you really possess such magical abilities, heh.”
“But I don’t want to see any more accidents. That undercover agent is my disciple…”
“I promised him that I would protect his family…”
“But… I’m not certain. I truly don’t have a hundred percent assurance… these guys are really inhuman!”
“They’d rather die in a suicidal retaliation! Just to prove their ruthlessness!”
Listening to Wu Qiang’s statement, Li Yidao fell silent.
He didn’t know how much time had passed…
He slowly turned around and looked at the two men.
He saw weariness in their eyes, and… hope.
Li Yidao took a deep breath.
Scr*w it!
He thought, “What the hell! I’ll do whatever I want!”
“Why so much hesitation!”
“So what if I take down 13 people today?” “So what if this is some test prepared by Unit 36?” “Today, I’ll thoroughly showcase my skills!”
“There is no point in blindly dodging!”
“Once they know my ability, they’ll think twice before messing with me. It’s the smart move!”
“Backing down now would just block my path for good, wouldn’t it?”
Taking a deep breath, Li Yidao spoke casually.
“I’ll handle this, but I’d appreciate it if only the three of us knew what went down here today.”
Li Yidao knew the odds of keeping it between them were slim.
But it was about stating his position.
Wu Qiang and Li Hui exchanged a look, then nodded together.
“Don’t worry, the reason we brought you here was to keep it off the radar.”
“After all… this whole thing…”
They didn’t finish the sentence, but it was clear. This situation was beyond strange!
Li Yidao nodded slightly and was about to dive into the documents.
However, just then…
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” A string of knocks on the door echoed.
All three paused simultaneously.
Li Hui and Wu Qiang looked baffled.
Clearly, they hadn’t anticipated a visitor.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Another round of knocks.
The three kept their cool, maintaining their silence.
“Is anyone in? I’m from the management office. Downstairs says there’s a leak in your place. Could you step out and have a look with me?”
Management office? Leak?
Li Yidao felt like he’d heard this spiel before.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Another three knocks.
The trio remained composed, not budging.
After a few minutes, the knocking abruptly stopped.
But before they could let their guard down, suddenly, within the hushed space, a series of crisp sounds reached their ears.
What was this…
Was the person picking the lock?
