Soul Patch

Chapter 57 Lottery Numbers

Wenjie glanced at the time; the system had started counting down from 8 PM.

Next time it will trigger automatically...

It was 2 a.m.

Wenjie made a face in frustration, and was back to his sleepless nights.

but……

Wenjie was filled with anticipation for the test questions six hours later!

Haha, Wenjie is no longer that naive young man.

Wenjie quickly took a shower and saw a beautiful long hair on the showerhead in the bathroom.

Looking at his long hair, he began to miss Yang Shanshan. Actually, he had always missed her, but he missed her even more now.

He thought that having something on his mind would make him toss and turn in bed, but he didn't expect to fall asleep as soon as he turned over.

He didn't even remember the test questions until the alarm went off loudly. He turned off the alarm, tossed his phone aside, and didn't think about the test questions at all.

The system startup screen was in darkness, with a countdown prominently displayed at the bottom, like a vengeful ghost baring its fangs at Wenjie.

[Time remaining until the end of the test: 30 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds]

[Life Trajectory Correction Type: Impulsive Crime]

Please select the patch type...

[Violent Type]

Wenjie watched that video. The murderer was holding a knife and was extremely vicious. If he didn't use violence, why would he try to stop him?

——Enter the system——

Wenjie appeared at the entrance of the mall.

The man lingered at the mall entrance, his hand inside his bag. Wenjie knew there was a knife in the bag.

Wenjie recognized this place; it was the Yansha Outlet Mall in Ghost Street. He and Qin Fen had passed by here when they went to Longda to eat crayfish.

Without thinking twice, he hurriedly pulled out his phone: July 18, 2019.

Oh, that's half a month later!

How many lottery draws have they had already run?!

He quickly tried to open the official lottery website, but the webpage couldn't be found!

Try again, webpage not found!

Is my own phone not good enough?

There must be a lottery station here!

Based on the previous video, Bai Yu estimates it will take another ten minutes before he brings this woman out!

In other words, he has ten minutes.

Wenjie pulled a girl in a tank top aside: "Excuse me, is there a lottery ticket vendor around here?"

The girl rolled her eyes at Wenjie: "I don't know!"

Wenjie quickly pulled over another middle-aged man: "Hey, where can I buy lottery tickets?"

"Lottery tickets? There are some outside the tobacco and liquor store over there!" the man said, pointing towards the end of the street.

"Is it far?" Wenjie looked in the direction the man pointed, but couldn't see a single tobacco or liquor store.

"It's not far, it'll only take you about twenty minutes to walk there," the man said dismissively, glancing at Wenjie with disdain.

"Uh...that's too far. How about this, brother? Can I use your phone for a bit? I just want to check the lottery website!"

Wenjie stared longingly at the middle-aged man who looked honest-looking.

"Uh... I'm borrowing your phone, right?" the man said, taking a few steps back.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person! I..."

Wenjie was still trying to persuade the middle-aged man when he noticed the man turn and run towards the police post.

There were police here! Why are you trying to be a hero?

He handed the murder over to the police and then took the opportunity to go to a lottery betting shop.

Stop! No, that's not right.

What would happen if I told the police that there would be a murder here soon?

I would ask him: How did you know?

When he talks nonsense, if there really is a murder here, people will think he's an accomplice!

This... won't work!

Wenjie picked up a piece of brick from the roadside and silently moved toward the corner, keeping a close eye on the murderer at the mall entrance.

Knock him unconscious, but don't kill him. If you kill him, you'll immediately exit the system and won't have time to get to the lottery station.

Wenjie made up his mind. When he was about seven or eight steps away from the murderer, the murderer heard the noise and turned to look at him.

Her eyes flashed with a cold light, as if she might draw a dagger and stab him at any moment.

Wenjie stood still, not daring to step forward!

"Get out of here!" the murderer, hidden in the dark corner, growled at Wenjie.

Do you know which set of numbers won this lottery?

Wenjie told himself not to panic, the murderer didn't know what he did.

"roll!"

Wenjie was somewhat provoked. He suppressed his anger and reminded himself: "A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan..."

Get out!

He swallowed hard and stomped angrily toward the mall.

As soon as he entered the mall, he saw Bai Yu walking towards him with a long-haired woman, their arms around each other's shoulders.

"Wenjie? What are you doing here?"

Bai Yu was quite surprised and greeted him.

Wenjie walked towards him with a cold face and grabbed Bai Yu.

Bai Yu swayed slightly, "What are you doing? Um... Qianqian, I, I'm going over there for a second."

Bai Yu smiled apologetically at the girl he called Xixi.

"What's wrong with you! Can't you see I'm busy?" Bai Yu complained to Wen Jie, dissatisfied.

"Um... Bai Yu, can I borrow your phone for a second?" Wenjie said, reaching into Bai Yu's pocket.

"What are you doing! Didn't you bring your phone? Why did you go out without your phone?"

"I brought my phone, but I can't open web pages on my phone."

Bai Yu reluctantly took out his phone, unlocked it, and handed it to him.

Without a moment's hesitation, he clicked into the official website of the China Welfare Lottery.

Page not found!

Why is it still not working?

Bai Yu was getting annoyed. "What's there to look up? Let's go home and look it up on the computer!"

He then snatched the phone, raised it, and waved to Xixi, who was waiting beside him.

"no!"

Wenjie held Bai Yu tightly, "You can't go out through this door..."

Why...?

Before Bai Yu could finish speaking, he saw Wen Jie staring intently at the doorway, his face filled with horror.

He turned his head and saw the man in black at the door rush in, raising his knife to stab him.

The girl named Xixi was terrified. She cried and tried to grab the man, but he forced her back with a knife.

Wenjie picked up a fire hydrant and threw it at the murderer. Taking advantage of the murderer's dodge, he shouted to Bai Yu, "Run!"

The two people ran frantically through the mall, only to find that the murderer, who had been there just moments before, was gone.

Wenjie guessed that he probably ran away because he was afraid the mall security guards would come and arrest him.

"Wenjie!" Yu was terrified and rushed forward to hug Wenjie. "Good... buddy!"

Bai Yu's lips trembled, and he could barely speak:

"Now... what do we do?"

Did you drive?

Wenjie remembered Bai Yu's cool Tesla; he usually drives one when he's picking up girls!

"I didn't drive it!"

"Look at you, why don't you drive when you're picking up girls! It's so inconvenient to escape!"

Bai Yu looked at Wen Jie with a mix of amusement and exasperation. How come he hadn't noticed how mischievous Wen Jie was before?

"Stay in the mall and don't go out. Have a friend with a car pick you up. It's safer to drive, don't worry!"

Wenjie spoke calmly, as if he were not dealing with a murder case, but rather the end of a drinking party and arranging a car to go home.

"What about you?"

Bai Yu opened his eyes wide in horror, looking at Wen Jie, his lifeline.

"I'll go to the liquor and tobacco shop at the end of the street and take a look...!"

"..."

Bai Yu almost cried: "What the hell are you looking at?!"
