Chapter 355 People are Precious

Wei Miao hadn't expected that the big gray rat was actually controlled by the Five Lucky Rats. She had already transformed the inn's waiter into a secondary body to keep an eye on Xie Jingming's movements.

Xie Yinyao was sent by her to contact Zhou Fan and the others, unaware that Wei Miao was observing his performance from the sidelines.

On one hand, Wei Miao was testing Xie Yinyao to see if his stance was firm.

On the other hand, she was observing Zhou Fan and Cao Hai. The latter was having a very unlucky day, which meant that the person who made the prediction for her that day was Cao Hai.

The big gray rat stayed in the corner until the group left, at which point it darted through the hall, behaving rather strangely.

She mentioned it casually, and it turned out to be a lucky coincidence.

The fact that the Five Lucky Rats didn't know that the waiter was her gave Wei Miao some confidence in the Scarlet Contamination's ability to restore her confidence.

In this world, she can only corrupt players and mortals, and her abilities are greatly limited.

This also suggests that the four individuals possess something that attracts the Five Lucky Rats.

Wei Miao asked directly, "Is there anything special about Xie Jingming and the other three?"

"With boundless fortune and immense blessings," the Five Lucky Rats said slowly. "You should know that in times of great upheaval, there are always outstanding individuals who can ride the wave and rise to the top. They are all people with great fortune, favored by the heavens. Normally, the heavens' favor is mostly bestowed upon the rulers of dynasties. Only in times like these can they open their eyes to look at others, select one as the pseudo-chosen one of the world, and incidentally choose some supporting characters."

"So that's how it is. Xie Jingming was the pseudo-chosen one during this period, and the others were important supporting characters around him." After being baptized by the great beings, and with the establishment of her own standards, Wei Miao's vision also broadened. "But, is being the chosen one of the world really that good?"

She harbors no resentment towards these lucky individuals; her vision extends to the global level.

Especially now that she holds a high position of power and influences the fate of many people.

It can also corrupt one's personality, completely dominating the offspring from the inside out.

In her view, if she actively gives benefits to the weak, it is mostly because she wants to support them to achieve certain goals for herself.

By putting ourselves in others' shoes, it's not hard to understand the intentions of Heaven.

"In fact, Heaven has only chosen a pawn as its agent to carry out its will and adjust the course of destiny," she mocked. "Therefore, the Child of the World is usually difficult to kill and can quickly increase its strength, because Heaven needs this powerful pawn to better influence the era."

Five Lucky Rats was surprised that she could realize this, and agreed: "Yes. Many chosen ones of the world are full of vigor and ambition, and at a certain time, they are the protagonists of the era. But after a while, they only end up like the cunning rabbit that has died and the hunting dog that has been cooked."

The gifts of fate always come with a hidden price. But the will of the world goes even further; the other party is not giving a gift, but borrowing it temporarily, to be returned along with the person and the power after a period of time.

“Cao Hai, who is by Xie Jingming’s side, can see into other people’s destinies. He must have seen the aura surrounding Xie Jingming and deliberately approached him,” Wei Miao said. “Can you guess what kind of deity he has?”

“New statues awaken every year, and just mentioning prying into one’s destiny is too broad a scope,” Fu Wushu pondered. “However, apart from statues that specialize in the path of destiny, other statues will not easily hand over their destiny cultivation techniques.”

For example, Himself.

Five Lucky Rats: "Being a supporting character isn't easy either. You either have to be burdened with deep-seated grudges or have some amazing secrets. Do you have any ideas?"

Wei Miao frankly stated, "I suspect they are remnants of the previous dynasty."

The predecessor of the Imperial Observatory was the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. Its last director was named Cao Lun, and his statue was of the Star Lord of Life-Chasing and Fate-Breaking, who was skilled in divination.

Surnames don't mean anything; Wei Miao only has doubts.

She said seriously, "I have made some progress in investigating the matter of Lord Fu'an that you asked me to do." "The patient first obtained the statue in a candle shop, and the shop owner later disappeared. I think that the statue is hidden in the southwest corner, the plague originated in the southwest corner, and the statue of Lord Fu'an was first obtained by the people in the southwest corner. The prayers in the southwest corner have the highest success rate."

Five Lucky Rats nodded: "That statue is indeed a clay sculpture, nothing unusual. His plans are all very confusing, I can't understand them either."

Wei Miao seemed to be thinking: "Why not let the protagonist of destiny give it a try?"

Five Lucky Rats agreed, "This is the best way. Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance that Lin will slip up, the Child of the World can make that probability one hundred percent."

Wei Miao: "You said before that Danlin corrupted the personality of mortals. Can you tell?"

“That’s right. But the pollution from Tarlin will cause the luck to become mixed, which is very obvious and not as clever as your methods.” Five Lucky Rats flattered her.

There are too many things to consider when it comes to Scarlet Contamination. If it is successful, both one's fortune and personality will be disguised quite perfectly.

“However, He only preserved a seed of corruption and did not completely invade.” The Five Lucky Rats’ face was full of shrewd calculation. “He has corrupted many people. With His current abilities, He cannot possibly devour them all at once. It would take him a whole day to digest an ordinary person.”

"He is holding back now, probably waiting for the right moment. At that time, He will be fully prepared and able to swallow all these personalities in one go."

Wei Miao recalled the words from the prophetic poem: "A wicked dragon is born?"

Five Lucky Rats shook their heads: "This prophetic poem is just cryptic and has no clues whatsoever."

“I do have a solution, albeit a less-than-ideal one,” Wei Miao said, a meaningful smile playing on her lips. “But I need your cooperation.”

Five-Lucky Rat twitched his index finger slightly and shook his pipe: "Tell me about it."

Wei Miao: "Whatever His plan is in the middle of the forest, His ultimate goal is inseparable from the character of these mortals. Whatever the enemy wants, we will destroy."

The Five Lucky Rats asked with great interest, "You want to kill all those mortals who are infected with the disease?"

Wei Miao smiled and rebuked Him: "You are too bloodthirsty."

She continued, "Humans are precious. It only takes a moment to kill a person, but it takes decades to raise one."

"I didn't realize you were such a person who respected life so much," Five Lucky Rat teased, but there was something strange about Wei Miao's words. "So, what do you plan to do?"

Wei Miao said matter-of-factly, "If He can corrupt, so can I. Why can't I do what He wants to do?"

The Five Lucky Rats were stunned for a moment, not quite understanding: "Huh?"

"Ah!" He finally understood the true meaning of Wei Miao's words and exclaimed, "No wonder people are precious. You are just like Dantalin, only you seem to be in a position of righteousness. In that case, you will not only not stop Dantalin, but you will also go with the flow."

"Truly worthy of being the Grand Master of the Secret Ritual, such boldness and ruthlessness are worthy of a demon from beyond the realms." His words implied something.

"An extraterrestrial demon?" After a moment's thought, Wei Miao realized that the Five Lucky Rats were able to speak to her on equal terms because they believed she came from outside the realm and that her true form was a superior being on par with them.

Although Wu Fushu overthinks things, the masquerade ball behind her is indeed a colossal entity that transcends dimensions.

"Eating is a matter of course," Wei Miao replied nonchalantly.

She couldn't just rely on the rewards given at the end of the day; she wanted to try to obtain permanent benefits from within the world.

Human beings are precious. That's why Thalin used a virus with an extremely low mortality rate. To Him, every living person is a potential resource, and the death of one diminishes it.
