Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad

Chapter 457 - 455: Where Is the Mastermind?

Upon hearing Li Xun’s shout, Tie Xiong rolled on the ground, successfully dodging the centipede monster’s attack and catching the talisman thrown by Li Xun.

"Activate this talisman?"

Tie Xiong tried to channel his original blood qi, injecting it into the talisman in his hand.

In an instant, the exorcism talisman emitted a dazzling brilliance.

"Hiss!"

Tie Xiong felt a sharp pain in his right hand, causing him to gasp involuntarily.

Although he could activate the talisman, it was ultimately not his forté.

And this talisman likely came from Zhenyuan, the Immortal Taoist skilled in drawing talismans.

Righteousness and evil cannot coexist!

He could almost imagine that if Zhenyuan personally wielded this talisman, he wouldn’t last long before meeting his demise.

Fortunately, he chose to join forces with righteousness.

"Since this talisman can cause me so much pain, it should be able to eliminate that disgusting centipede monster, right?"

Tie Xiong gritted his teeth, enduring the intense pain in his hand.

He immediately charged forward, heading straight for the centipede monster.

The centipede monster seemed very afraid of the light emitted by the exorcism talisman. It hurriedly twisted its body, causing Dean Zhang and others’ heads to open their mouths and once again spew out that foul-smelling dark purple liquid.

Meanwhile, Tie Xiong wasted no time, reciting a magic spell to activate his blood barrier.

He gave it his all, withstanding the centipede monster’s poison attack, finally rushing to close range.

"Die, you disgusting monster!"

Tie Xiong stomped the ground, leaping forward and thrusting the radiant exorcism talisman into the centipede monster’s mouth.

"Wailing... Wailing... Wailing..."

After the exorcism talisman was inserted into its mouth, the centipede monster emitted eerie howls, its body twisting continuously.

Even the faces of Dean Zhang and others showed expressions of agony.

Soon, a beam of white light burst out from the centipede monster’s body.

Then the second, and the third...

Countless beams instantly erupted, piercing through the centipede monster’s body.

In just a blink of an eye, the centipede monster quickly exploded, turning into a shower of dark purple blood.

Tie Xiong pulled his daughter and Li Xun aside to a corner.

Gazing at the remnants of the vanquished centipede monster, Tie Xiong’s face bore no hint of a smile.

Zhao, Group Leader Xu, Captain Fu...

The three of them had all perished in the battle against the centipede monster.

How could Tie Xiong possibly feel happy?

"It’s all my fault!"

"If only I had remembered earlier about the exorcism talisman, Group Leader Xu and the others wouldn’t have died!"

Li Xun’s eyes reddened, filled with deep remorse.

"Li, it’s not your fault!"

"And if it weren’t for you, Shanshan and I might also have died here!"

Tie Xiong consoled him.

"Yeah, Brother Li!"

"If you hadn’t taken out that Yellow Talisman, we would have really been wiped out."

Tie Shanshan also spoke in consolation.

"Let’s go and see what is really hidden inside that room!"

Tie Xiong looked up at the ward where the centipede monster had emerged.

His subconscious told him that all the answers lay within that room.

"Alright!"

Li Xun and Tie Shanshan didn’t hesitate, nodding in agreement.

Tie Xiong led the pair, stepping over the pools of dark purple liquid on the floor, and entered the ward.

As soon as the three entered, they caught a faint scent of flowers.

It was hard to imagine that the foul-smelling centipede monster had come from here.

Inside the ward stood two young girls.

One was dressed in a white lab coat, and the other in a hospital gown.

Tie Xiong glanced at them, frowning slightly.

They were none other than Cheng Wan and Song Feifei!

"It feels like you saved us, and everyone else!"

Upon seeing Tie Xiong and the others walk in, Cheng Wan smiled gently and said.

"What exactly is going on here?"

Li Xun got straight to the point.

"Ah!"

Cheng Wan sighed softly, her face filled with sorrow: "As a hospital, this place accumulated too much resentment and unfulfilled wishes of many."

"Especially those patients who died in the ’cancer treatment project,’ their souls did not disperse after death, but were preserved by resentment."

"When they discovered the true reason for their deaths, their hatred knew no bounds."

"More and more hatred gradually swallowed their rationality, turning them into monsters known as ’Grudge.’"

"After Feifei and I died, our souls too were captured by ’Grudge.’"

"Luckily, you timely defeated the embodiment of ’Grudge.’ Otherwise, we too would be consumed by it!"

"If ’Grudge’ had consumed enough souls and resentment, it would have grown stronger again."

"At that time, ’Grudge’ would swallow the entire Celestial Sea, and eventually the whole country..."

At this, Cheng Wan solemnly bowed to Tie Xiong and the others.

"Thank you again!"

"You not only saved me but everyone else!"

Saying this, Cheng Wan’s body slowly became translucent and blurred.

"You..."

Tie Xiong felt something was off.

How did the story end without revealing the mastermind?

"I must go now, wishing you smooth sailing in the future..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Cheng Wan turned into points of starlight, disappearing before everyone’s eyes.

"I’m also very grateful to you!"

"Thank you for not letting me become a monster..."

Song Feifei stepped forward, giving each of the three a hug.

After the hugs, she too, like Cheng Wan, turned into specks of light, thoroughly vanishing.

"..."

Tie Xiong was speechless.

He hadn’t even voiced his questions, yet Song Feifei and Cheng Wan had vanished.

"What do we do now?"

Tie Shanshan looked around the ward but found nothing extra, so she helplessly asked her father.

"I don’t know either!"

Tie Xiong lightly shook his head.

As Cheng Wan and Song Feifei disappeared, the inpatient building suddenly began to shake.

And the shaking grew more intense, more intense...

"Run quickly!"

Tie Xiong hurriedly pulled his daughter and Li Xun, turning to escape.

Just as the three stepped out of the ward, the ground beneath them suddenly collapsed.

In their haste, they had no time to react, falling along with the crumbling ground.

And below, awaiting them, was darkness.

Like an abyss with no end in sight...

"Group Leader Tie? Group Leader Tie?"

"Wake up, Group Leader Tie!"

Tie Xiong felt someone patting his face.

He opened his eyes, groggy.

Immediately, the bright sunlight poured into his eyes, stinging them with pain.

Through the blur, he saw two familiar faces.

It was Group Leader Xu and Captain Fu!

"Weren’t they killed by that monster?"

"Why am I seeing them again?"

"Did I just die, and am I now in the Underworld?"

Tie Xiong’s heart was filled with confusion and puzzlement...
