Chapter 787: Sorting Things Out

“What do you mean…” Qiao Jiajin felt somewhat confused.

At this moment, the raindrops in the sky began to plummet rapidly. Ground Mouse smiled at the three of them, then turned around and closed the door. From the sound of it, he even locked it from inside.

A drop of cold sweat appeared on Chen Junnan’s forehead. No matter where they were, those black dots would find them—could this be a “Heavenly-level Moment”?

Although he had experienced “Heavenly-Horse Moments” many times, what was this moment?

He lowered his head and quickly pondered the current time.

“Sister Dong… what time do you think it is now?” Chen Junnan asked.

Qin Dingdong also thought of something at this moment. After calculating, she said: “We set out as soon as the sun rose, delayed a bit on the road. It’s probably around nine-something in the morning now… won’t be past ten.”

“Nine-something… what hour is nine-something…?” Chen Junnan was stunned again. This knowledge that he completely never used normally couldn’t be recalled at all right now.

“It’s the Si hour.” Qiao Jiajin said from the side. “The old almanac often writes the hours. Junnan boy, you can’t even remember this clearly?”

Chen Junnan had no time to bicker with Qiao Jiajin and hurriedly recalculated in his mind.

“‘Si’ is ‘Snake’…” Chen Junnan instantly thought of something. “It’s ‘Heavenly-Snake Moment’…”

“Ah?!”

Qiao Jiajin and Qin Dingdong were both stunned at the same time.

Looking at the heavy rain about to fall overhead, Chen Junnan asked again: “Sister Dong! You said you were killed by ‘Heavenly-Snake’ last time! Why did he kill you then?”

“At that time…” Qin Dingdong hurriedly recalled and said, “Because I didn’t answer his question.”

Before Chen Junnan could figure it out, black raindrops fell one after another with a gentle breeze.

Three drops were now suspended above the three people’s heads, neither falling nor moving. With every step the three took, the black dots moved along with them.

As if they had already locked onto the three people’s lives.

Just as Qin Dingdong and Qiao Jiajin were about to speak, Chen Junnan reached out to stop them.

He swallowed and said: “From now on, let’s not ask any questions.”

“Junnan boy… you mean…”

“Although I don’t know the specific principle, it really seems related to ‘questions.'” Chen Junnan stared at the black raindrop above his head and said. “The best method is to find Old Qi with these raindrops above us… otherwise there’ll be problems sooner or later…”

“But where should we look for…”

Halfway through Qiao Jiajin’s words, Chen Junnan immediately stepped forward and covered his mouth.

“Old Qiao, be careful with your words!” Chen Junnan said anxiously. “Do you think I have too long a life?”

As soon as the words fell, the black dot above Chen Junnan’s head moved, then slowly floated to Qiao Jiajin’s brow.

“Huh?!”

Chen Junnan and Qiao Jiajin were both stunned, not quite understanding what the situation was now.

“What’s going on?” Chen Junnan blinked.

Qin Dingdong took a running start, then delivered a flying kick to Chen Junnan’s butt: “You fucking tell Ajin not to ask questions! But you yourself are blabbering away asking questions. Are you fucking stupid?!”

Before Chen Junnan could answer, the black dot above Qin Dingdong’s head drifted toward Chen Junnan, ultimately also hovering at his brow.

“Huh?!”

Qiao Jiajin was completely baffled: “I don’t understand… Pretty lady, are you causing trouble?”

The black dot above Qiao Jiajin’s head finally moved as well. After a tremor, it hovered at Qin Dingdong’s brow.

Less than a minute after the “Heavenly-Snake Moment” descended, the three people hadn’t even walked a few steps before they were like having three guns pointed at their foreheads, unable to move at all.

“Wait a minute, wait a minute…” Chen Junnan stared at the three beads and reached out to steady the situation. “It’s a bit chaotic… let’s sort things out…”

“Sort things out, sort things out.” Qiao Jiajin also chimed in.

“It’s… it’s really a bit chaotic…” Qin Dingdong also said. “Who the fuck do we blame for this…”

Chen Junnan looked cross-eyed at the black particle suspended at his brow, swallowed, and said: “It looks like the three of us are trapped by three questions… If we don’t answer properly, we’ll probably die here…”

“So I’m saying!” Qiao Jiajin also said somewhat anxiously. “Junnan boy, what question did you just ask me?”

“Damn, this young master kind of forgot!” Chen Junnan said with an awkward expression. “Wasn’t I just talking normally? How did I suddenly ask a question?”

“Because you’re asking for it!” Qin Dingdong said. “When you chat with anyone, you’re always blabbering away asking questions. It’s so annoying!”

“Stop arguing, stop arguing!” Chen Junnan said. “Let’s answer them one by one… first think about the questions…”

The other two didn’t dare speak at this moment, only staring seriously at Chen Junnan.

Chen Junnan boldly stepped forward and reached out to touch the black bead in front of Qiao Jiajin’s brow, but felt it was scalding hot and nearly burned his hand.

“What are you researching now?!” Qin Dingdong said. “Hurry up and save Ajin!”

While the several people were talking, the black beads between their brows began to shake rapidly, as if they were about to reach their time limit.

“Stop arguing, stop arguing…” Chen Junnan reached out to interrupt Qin Dingdong. “I think I remember now. The question I just asked seems to be ‘Do you think I have too long a life?’ Old Qiao, you answer this question first… quickly!”

Qiao Jiajin said “okay,” and just as he was about to open his mouth to answer, he suddenly hesitated, turned his head and asked: “Junnan boy… should I answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’? Should I lie?”

“You fucking speak from your heart!!” Chen Junnan was nearly driven to death by Qiao Jiajin. “Do you really think I have too long a life?”

After hearing this, Qiao Jiajin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Then he cleared his throat and said clearly and precisely: “I don’t think Chen Junnan has too long a life.”

As soon as the words fell, the bead between his brows shook once, then instantly shattered into powder.

Seeing that telling the truth could shatter the bead before them, the three people were obviously relieved.

“It’s my turn…” Chen Junnan said. “Sister Dong, what did you just ask me?”

“Uh…” Qin Dingdong turned her head to the side somewhat awkwardly and said, “If I remember correctly… it was ‘Are you fucking stupid?'”

After hearing this, Chen Junnan pursed his lips and said: “This young master has heard this sentence countless times and never realized it was a question.”

“Stop wasting words, answer quickly.”

He also cleared his throat like Qiao Jiajin and said: “I, Chen Junnan, am not stupid.”

After receiving the answer, the bead in front of Chen Junnan also shattered with a sound. Both people’s crises were completely resolved.

At this moment, both people’s gazes focused on Qin Dingdong. It seemed this so-called “Heavenly-Snake Moment” wasn’t scary at all, and the fatality rate was very low. If so, what was the meaning of its existence?

“Pretty lady, it’s your turn.” Qiao Jiajin grinned foolishly. “My question just now seemed to be ‘Have you been causing trouble all along?’ After you answer, we’ll be fine.”

Qin Dingdong nodded with a complex expression on her face, then raised her eyes to look at that black bead, and then answered word by word:

“I have indeed been causing trouble all along.”

Upon hearing Qin Dingdong’s answer, that little bead shattered with a bang.
