Chapter 164: Danger at Night! The Grim Reaper’s Protection!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Feeling the murderous intent of the intruder, Li Yidao took a deep breath.
His eyes were filled with cold determination.
However, up to this point, the Grim Reaper’s Protection hadn’t triggered any recoil, indicating that the intruder wasn’t an immediate lethal threat.
In other words, the system assumed he had the ability to deal with the incoming enemy.
Li Yidao couldn’t help but wonder who would be so audacious as to try and assassinate him in such a blatant manner.
This crude method of attack was definitely not the work of a large organization.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Several arrows were shot consecutively through the door, still aimed at Li Yidao’s bed.
At this point, his bed was riddled with arrows.
If he had been asleep, the outcome would have been disastrous.
Li Yidao remained hidden behind the wall next to the door, and after a few seconds, the intruders seemed to realize their plan had failed.
They either knew they were discovered or thought they had accomplished their mission and were beginning to retreat.
As he heard their fading footsteps, Li Yidao’s expression turned grim.
There was no way he would let them escape.
However, he hadn’t seen the intruders yet, and his mental image of them was blank, so he couldn’t activate the Blade of Death.
To resolve this situation, he had to confront the intruders face to face and determine who they were.
He took a deep breath, trying to regulate his breathing and moved silently, closing in on the door.
Of course, he wasn’t foolish enough to stand directly in front of the door.
He didn’t want to risk taking another arrow if the intruders decided to fire a couple more shots at him.
Li Yidao’s eyes were cold, and the Blade of Death was already prepared, waiting for the moment he saw the enemy.
He understood that when it came to taking down the enemy, he had to go all out to guarantee a success.
As he heard the intruders’ footsteps growing more distant, Li Yidao silently moved to the door, gradually turning the doorknob.
The creaking of the door echoed, and at the same time, he could hear the intruders’ footsteps coming to an abrupt halt.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
It was three more consecutive arrows.
Wait, not just three!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
After the first three arrows, there were three more!
As the room’s door opened, out of the six arrows, only two hit the door, while the rest were aimed directly inside the room.
There wasn’t much time to react.
Taking advantage of the lull in the enemy’s attack, Li Yidao quickly peeked his head out and then withdrew.
He had a clear view of the two intruders.
Both had masks covering their faces and were wielding small crossbows. One of them had already nocked another arrow, while the other was preparing for the next shot.
Their attacks came in cycles of three arrows, just as Li Yidao had surmised.
But at the moment Li Yidao laid eyes on them, the two intruders abruptly retreated, making a run for it as if they were aware of his abilities.
However, it was too late.
In the moment they turned to escape, both of them were overtaken by fear, their movements halted as if they were immobilized.
Thud! Thud!
Two muffled sounds could be heard.
It was clear that these two individuals had met their end and were now headed to see the King of Hell.
With the immediate danger gone, Li Yidao slowly emerged from the bedroom.
He approached the lifeless bodies of the intruders, his expression icy.
These people were truly lawless to carry out such acts baldly.
The question remained, who would be so eager to kill him?
Involuntarily, Li Yidao’s mind flashed with an image of someone.
Could it be her?
It seemed plausible, as he had driven her into a corner, making it reasonable for her to want him dead.
However, did it warrant such hasty retaliation?
Why was she in such a hurry?
Perhaps she wanted to eliminate him without giving him the chance to take action.
However, at this very moment, just as Li Yidao was beginning to process these thoughts, that sense of impending danger struck again.
Huh?
With the arrival of this danger, Li Yidao noticed that his remaining lifespan had unexpectedly decreased by 56 years!
He abruptly shifted his gaze towards a distant high-rise outside the shop.
Someone was still concealed in the shadows.
He took a look at his current position…
If he took two steps forward, he would be directly exposed at the door!
If the other party truly had an opportunity to attack him, a single shot, or even the use of a more powerful crossbow, could end his life in an instant.
D*mn!
This was ruthless.
It seemed like they were determined to kill him no matter what.
Even the present Li Yidao was drenched in cold sweat at the thought.
It seemed he needed to be more cautious from now on.
Given the system’s tendency to rest and the prospect of facing similar crises in the future, Li Yidao might meet his demise prematurely.
“F*ck it!” Li Yidao exclaimed in frustration and spat on the ground.
As for the two lifeless bodies before him, he decided not to get closer or examine them.
He shut the shop door to conceal the situation from passersby.
Then, he took out his phone and made a call.
“Hello?”
The voice on the other end of the line was filled with confusion, perhaps not expecting Li Yidao to call so late.
With the guidance from the old man, Li Yidao had no reason to be polite.
“Tonight, there were a few people who tried to kill me. I need you to come and take care of it,” he went straight to the point.
The person on the other end appeared baffled and took half a minute to respond with a single word.
“Corpses?”
“Yes,” Li Yidao’s response was straightforward.
“How many?”
“For now, three.”
More prolonged silence.
“Alright, I understand. Our team will arrive in ten minutes.”
Beep, beep, beep…
After that, the other party hung up.
As for why Qi Yuqiang took so long to respond to each question, Li Yidao could make an educated guess.
He must have been reporting to his superiors.
The situation that Li Yidao was currently facing might not be of great significance in itself, but Unit 36’s attitude was most important.
Qi Yuqiang’s response also conveyed a lot.
At the very least, they weren’t enemies. Attitude was key.
Ten minutes later, there was a series of knocks at the door.
Li Yidao opened it, and the first person to enter was Qi Yuqiang.
He had a bitter smile on his face.
“You really are the Grim Reaper. Do you know how many people have lost their lives recently because of you?”
Li Yidao glanced at him but didn’t pay much attention to the comment about the ozone layer.
What did it have to do with him? He adhered to the principle of not harming others unless they harmed him. 𝓯𝒓𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝒃𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝙢
“There are two bodies here, and one across the street. I’m not sure about its exact location. You should go and find it.”
“I don’t have any other information. These are the only three who targeted me, so they’re all dead.”
Li Yidao’s statement was straightforward, but within its simplicity lay a potent message.
Anyone who targeted him ended up dead.
Qi Yuqiang gave Li Yidao a deep look.
It appeared that Unit 36 would need to update their files on Li Yidao, along with his identity level.
Now, he wasn’t just predicting deaths.
He had the means for self-defense.
The previous Li Yidao could predict people’s life or death and could even remotely kill them using certain methods.
But now… anyone who targeted him would die? These words were undoubtedly the most impactful..
