Chapter 232: Sleep For Three Days

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Seated on the hearse, Li Yidao slowly approached the Funeral Parlor’s location.

He endured the intense pain in his brain, preventing himself from losing consciousness.

Such a strong sensation of pain was not easy to endure.

If it weren’t for the pill given to him by the old man, he might not have been able to endure it now.

As for why he persisted in heading to the Funeral Parlor in his current condition, it was because of Wang Qiang, whom he was following.

Moreover, there was the presence of a temporary mission.

Currently, he only had six years of lifespan left, and even if he encountered a formidable opponent or just an ordinary person arranged to assassinate him, he could be in real trouble.

Not from a surprise attack but from the backlash of his own skill—the Grim Reaper’s Protection!

Unfortunately, he hadn’t found a way to deactivate it.

So, in times of crisis, it would inevitably consume his lifespan.

Could his remaining six years of lifespan withstand such a backlash?

The answer was negative.

Hence, he needed to restore his lifespan storage as quickly as possible to have enough capital for consumption.

Only under these circumstances could he find peace of mind.

Therefore, he had to head to the Funeral Parlor as soon as possible.

To send off Wang Qiang, complete the mission, and return to the shop—these three steps.

If he could complete them without any unexpected incidents, he would once again have the ability to protect himself.

Fortunately…

The completion of these three steps went smoothly.

At eleven in the morning, watching Wang Qiang’s ashes placed on the tombstone, Li Yidao knew the mission was accomplished.

Under the protection of a new team arranged by Unit 36, Li Yidao, dragging his exhausted body, returned to his shop.

When the three people in the shop saw Li Yidao return in such a tired state, they were momentarily stunned.

After a simple greeting, Li Yidao returned to his room and fell into a deep sleep.

However… Before drifting into slumber, he saw Sister Zhou’s latest Death Investigation!

It was no longer unknown.

But death still persisted!

However…

This time, the death was solely related to Sister Zhou herself, with no connection to Li Yidao.

To be honest, when Li Yidao saw the result of this Death Investigation, he was also stunned.

No wonder the old man had Sister Zhou follow along. Apart from the black cat tattoo on her body, there was another reason.

During this sleep, Li Yidao slept soundly. In the hazy slumber, it was as if he opened his eyes.

Hmm… He opened his eyes from time to time.

It seemed like his consciousness entered another body.

A body that couldn’t move! He could only watch in front of him.

He saw Li Yinuo lying on a stone bed, unconscious.

The difference from the last time he saw her was that Li Yinuo’s life was no longer in danger.

Her face was no longer so pale, as if she had already recovered.

Seeing Li Yinuo’s condition, Li Yidao also calmed down, without that anxious feeling.

He was just silently watching. After who knew how long, Li Yidao opened his eyes again.

The scene in front of him had completely changed.

The afterglow of the sunset outside the window filled the entire room with a fiery red color.

He frowned and slowly got up.

What time was it?

He took out his phone and glanced at it. 5 p.m… The sun had already set. “Slept for four or five hours?”

Li Yidao murmured to himself.

He returned home a little after noon.

He probably fell asleep around one o’clock. So, sleeping for four or five hours now wasn’t too much.

He stretched lazily, feeling a bit tired in his brain.

Not only that, he felt that his body was a bit sluggish.

Fortunately, he felt vitality in a certain part. Hmm… Luckily…

Getting out of bed, Li Yidao pushed open the bedroom door.

Seeing only Sister Zhou leaning on the sofa, idly scrolling through her phone.

Upon seeing Li Yidao come out, she joyfully stood up.

“Brother Dao, you finally woke up. If it weren’t for Qingyue holding me back, I would have taken you to the hospital.”

Li Yidao looked at her with some speechlessness.

“I just slept for a while, a few hours. There’s no need to make such a big fuss.” While saying this, he picked up a nearby water cup and took a sip of water.

He felt very thirsty!

But Sister Zhou looked anxious and said, “You just slept for a few hours? You’ve been sleeping since you came back the day before yesterday afternoon!”

“Pfft…

Hearing Sister Zhou said that he had slept for two days, Li Yidao sprayed the water he was drinking.

Fortunately, the angle was not quite right, sparing Sister Zhou from a water shower.

He looked at Sister Zhou in bewilderment.

“Are you saying I slept for two days?” He was indeed a bit shocked.

How could he have slept so long?

But Sister Zhou nodded affirmatively and then asked Li Yidao with a puzzled expression, “Aren’t you hungry?”

Hearing Sister Zhou’s question, Li Yidao only then felt the hunger in his stomach.

“I’ve been thinking about you being hungry. I’ve prepared a meal for you. I’ll get it for you now, and it’ll definitely fill you up.”

“Uh, sure.”

Five minutes later.

Five minutes later, a bowl of overwater noodles and a braised egg were ready, and Li Yidao didn’t hesitate to pick them up and began eating.

While eating, he inquired about Li Xinting and the others, as he hadn’t seen them since he woke up.

Sister Zhou replied, “Qingyue had something to attend to, so she took Xinting with her. I stayed behind to keep watch. Considering my current condition… it’s not great, so it’s better not to move around casually.” Li Yidao nodded, understanding the caution in Sister Zhou’s situation.

In reality, Sister Zhou could move around without any issues at this point.

The information from the Death Investigation had confirmed that she wouldn’t have any problems here, and there wouldn’t be any issues in the short term.

“Where’s the tattoo?”

Hearing Li Yidao’s question about the tattoo, Sister Zhou rolled up the sleeve on her arm.

Li Yidao saw that the tattoo had moved about ten centimeters from its initial position.

If it continued moving like this, it would eventually reach Sister Zhou’s heart or even her brain.

Watching the continuously shifting tattoo, sadness filled Sister Zhou’s eyes.

She had even prepared herself for inevitable death in these past two days and made many arrangements with her parents.

But, faced with life and death, how could it be so easy?

Li Yidao remained silent, genuinely not knowing if the tattoo was dangerous.

Therefore, he couldn’t guarantee that Sister Zhou wouldn’t encounter problems.

The best course of action would be to resolve the tattoo on Sister Zhou as much as possible and as soon as possible.

However, due to the last battle, the old man had once again delayed their departure time.

Given the old man’s arrangement, was there still a chance to resolve Sister Zhou’s issue?

After pondering for a moment, he decided to call the old man later to inquire.

Better to wait for a couple of days.

He believed that the old man’s arrangements had a certain meaning, and the reason the old man delayed the departure time was likely because he was also injured..
