Chapter 89 Life Money

Going up to the second floor, Shi Yurou, who was talking to Lan Shiwen, trembled all over when she saw Ning Zhe with an evil ghost on his face, and her legs immediately went limp.

She remembered very clearly that it was Ye Yao who brought the "God of Wealth" here.

Ji Yunying learned what happened from his sister. Although he was terrified, he still mustered up the courage to walk up to Ning Zhe and said calmly, "Mr. Ye Yao, why did you take the copper coins from my sister's bracelet? They were left to us by my father. I hope you can return them to their original owner."

"You're right. I stole your sister's things for no reason. Even though I did it to save my life, objectively speaking, I was wrong." Ning Zhe nodded, then said, "So what do you want to do to me? What can you do to me?"

"You..." Ji Yunying was speechless for a moment.

Ning Zhe glanced at the remaining two copper coins tied to Ji Yunying's left wrist, and also noticed the remaining red string in Shi Yurou's hand. He knew in his heart: "After I left, the two of them met the God of Wealth, and the God of Wealth took two copper coins from each of the siblings."

This was the second time that Shi Yurou and Ji Yunying met the God of Wealth. The first time was the night before when they were keeping vigil for their father. The God of Wealth took a copper coin from each of them.

There is no doubt that the special copper coin with a square outside and a round inside is the key to saving life according to the rules of the God of Wealth. The first time you meet, you get 1 coin. The second time you meet, you get 2 coins. So how many coins will you get the third time? 3 or 3?
While Ning Zhe was thinking, Lan Shiwen gently patted Ji Yunying on the shoulder and said, "Yunmengze will be closed soon, and the God of Wealth has lost control. If you two want to survive, leave here immediately and seek refuge in the city. This is not something that mortals can interfere with."

Apparently Lan Shiwen also received Tu Yu's notification.

Shi Yurou couldn't help but tug at the corner of Ji Yunying's clothes, signaling him not to fight with Ye Yao, but her brother was just a hot-blooded teenager after all, how could he swallow his anger in front of someone who bullied his sister?

At this moment, Ning Zhe suddenly took a step forward, and the pair of beautiful eyes shining brightly in the hideous eye sockets of the evil ghost mask looked straight at Ji Yunying and said, "You can leave if you want, but give me your copper coins, otherwise I will not let you go."

"I warn you not to go too far!" Ji Yunying finally couldn't stand the other party's arrogant provocation anymore, and raised her right hand to punch Ning Zhe in the face.

Then a gunshot pierced his head and Ji Yunying died.

Ning Zhe squatted down, untied the red rope bracelet from Ji Yunying's body, and put the remaining two copper coins into his pocket.

"Yunying..." Shi Yurou's legs went limp and she sat on the ground. Perhaps because she was too frightened, she didn't even dare to shed tears.

Lan Shiwen shook his head helplessly: "If you want his things, just rob him. Why kill him? It will be troublesome to deal with it later."

Lan Shiwen didn't care much about Ning Zhe's act of killing people in front of him, because they were both ascenders, and unless they were at the end of their rope, an ascender would never try to kill another ascender, so he was safe.

"You misunderstood. I don't want to kill him. I don't even care whether he's dead or alive."

Ning Zhe used a red string to string the four copper coins together and tied them to his hand, saying, "I didn't kill him because he offended me. There is no point in fighting with a child. I am just... verifying a hypothesis."

"A conjecture about the five-way rule, you will see the result soon."

Ning Zhe wanted to verify a hypothesis, and the process of verifying the hypothesis required killing someone, either Shi Yurou or Ji Yunying, Ning Zhe didn't care, it just happened that Ji Yunying came up, so that was him. That's all, there was no other reason.

"A guess about the five-way rule?" Lan Shiwen straightened the frame of his glasses in front of his nose, and shifted his gaze from Shi Yurou, who was slumped on the ground at a loss, to the body of Ji Yunying, whose brain was pierced by a bullet.

Ning Zhe was an excellent shooter. His bullet, which had excellent penetrating power, hit Ji Yunying's forehead exactly, making a bloody hole and piercing his skull and brain stem, causing the most complete brain death. There was no chance of rescue.

"Wu... Wuu..." The suppressed crying sound came from the balcony. Shi Yurou covered her face with her hands and cried weakly. However, the sad thing was that she didn't even dare to cry out loud. She could only try her best to suppress her voice for fear of displeasing Mr. Ye Yao.

"Don't be like this. I'm not a pervert who kills people for no reason." Ning Zhe said, and put a finger in front of the evil ghost's grinning mouth on the mask, and said softly, "Listen."

It was the sound of coins falling to the ground.

There was a crisp tinkling sound, followed by the buzzing sound of coins rolling on the table, as if an invisible coin had quietly landed in a place they could not see.

Then, as if time and space were reversed, the blood hole in the center of Ji Yunying's forehead disappeared, the dilated pupils regrouped, and the lifeless eyes were filled with anger again.

"I warn you not to go too far!" Ji Yunying was furious and punched the hideous evil spirit on Ning Zhe's face.

Ning Zhe held Ji Yunying's wrist and slapped him in the face with his other hand, leaving a bright red slap mark. The heavy force made his head buzz.

"You still have two lives. I just killed one. I advise you to save the remaining life." Ning Zhe smiled gently, let go of Ji Yunying's hand, and looked at Shi Yurou who was stunned at the side: "You still have three lives."

Lan Shiwen was silent for a moment, then he laughed: "I underestimated you, Yeyao, you are simply a genius."

"You're welcome." Ning Zhe stood up and said, "I'm not interested in Wutong. I'm leaving soon. But before I leave, I'd be happy to tell you all my guesses about Wutong's rules - as long as you can afford the price."

Any promoted person knows the value of the information Ning Zhe is about to give, and Lan Shiwen is no exception.

"What do you want?" Lan Shiwen asked.

"I want money." Ning Zhe said lightly.

Lan Shiwen was a little surprised, but still said, "Okay, make an offer."

Ning Zhe smiled and shook his head: "What I want is not the credit currency or real gold and silver in the conventional sense, but - money to buy my life."

The life-saving money from the God of Wealth Wutong.

"..." Lan Shiwen was slightly stunned, then smiled: "I can't hide it from you."

Lan Shiwen was a native of Yundu City and had frequent contacts with Ji Bochang during his lifetime. He must have known the value and true purpose of the money for buying life.

The reason why Lan Shiwen did not snatch the copper coins from Shi Yurou and her brother, and was indifferent to Ning Zhe's snatching of the remaining two copper coins from Ji Yunying, only shows one thing: Lan Shiwen probably has more money on him.

"10 coins for your life, and I'll sell you Wutong's information. It's a fixed price, no bargaining." Ning Zhe's tone allowed no room for argument.

"Okay." Lan Shiwen nodded readily.

Shit, it’s getting low.
