My Endless Life.

Chapter 167 Sneak in

Li Qi couldn't tell whether the prophecy the old man saw was true or false.

However, judging from the images he had seen, Li Qi felt that it was mostly true.

But that is a future without Li Qi's participation.

Perhaps, in the original story, Richie did not exist, or Richie did not meet Ronnie.

But none of that matters right now.

Because of Li Qi's involvement, the future of Ronnie and the other two has been changed by him. It is not known what the future will be like yet, but everything they are experiencing now is indeed different from the scenes in the prophecy.

At least Ronnie is no longer naive, and Li Qi is not Ronnie. He came here to cause trouble for the kingdom. Even if he is wanted by the kingdom, what can he do?
It is not Li Qi's character to flee in panic. Instead, he wants to see what means the kingdom has to deal with him now.

Moreover, compared with the prophecy, the relic that can predict the future is what Li Qi is more concerned about.

"Where are your relics?"

Li Qi asked the old man.

The old man smiled and pointed to his heart: "When I realized that I was about to die, I let the relic become my heart. It helped me to stay alive. I can live until now, and now... our mission has been completed..."

"..."

The old man said 'we', which meant that the relics would probably disappear along with his death.

Knowing that he could not get the old man's belongings, Li Qi was silent for a long time.

After hearing what his father said, Diya didn't understand the cause and effect of the matter, but he knew that his father was about to leave.

He rushed to his father, grabbed his hand, and cried:

"Hey! Dad! Stop kidding! The doctor said you can still survive! As long as there is medicine... With medicine you can survive!"

“Silly child…” The old man raised his hand and rubbed Diya’s brown hair, whispering, “I told you long ago that the doctor lied to you. Even without his medicine, I would still be alive today… But you didn’t believe him and even stole money from so many people…”

Dad is relying on the relics to stay alive. Before he fulfills his last wish and the life in the relics is exhausted, Dad can survive even without medicine.

On the contrary, if Dad’s belongings also reached the end of their life, then even with the medicine, Dad would not be able to survive.

In order to ensure the correctness of the prophecy and to ensure that things will develop in the direction of the prophecy, Dad cannot tell Diya anything.

He just told Diya not to go out and steal money, but Diya refused to listen.

So much money wasted on that black-hearted doctor.

"No, no! You are lying to me!"

Diya lay on her father and cried, and finally looked up at Li Qi with hatred in her eyes.

He took out the silver coin that Li Qi had given him before and threw it to Li Qi, saying:

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't come, Dad would be fine! I'll give you your money back! Get out of my house! You're not welcome here!!"

"..."

"Go away!!!"

Diya cried and wanted to hit Li Qi, but was stopped by Jinghua who was beside Li Qi.

Li Qi took the silver coin thrown by Dia and looked at his father lying on the bed.

He ignored Diya and asked his father softly:
"Is it worth it? For a prophecy that you don't know if it's true or not."

"Alas..." The old man sighed and said, "...In the kingdom, humans no longer have a future..."

He pointed to something, looked at Ronnie who had been at a loss since just now, and whispered:

"But I have seen a new future, so... even if it is just an illusion, even if the future may become worse, I will always try it. After all... what if?"

Yeah, what if?

If it is a new way out, then the future of mankind can continue.

Dad is a pure man. He stays here just to see the future of mankind.

Now he has seen half of it, and the remaining half will be witnessed by Li Qi.

It’s a pity that Li Qi doesn’t like being a witness. He would rather solve everything while he is still alive.

"One last question." After finishing the conversation, Li Qi asked the old man, "Who are you?"

The old man's identity is definitely not simple. Although he looks like a commoner, the fact that he holds a relic that can predict the future is definitely not something an ordinary commoner can do.

Moreover, Li Qi found remnants of Qi in the old man's body.

This proves that the old man at least once possessed Qi, and those who possessed Qi were those who had been to the foggy area.

This old man whose identity is unknown is at least a high-level fog explorer.

Li Qi really wanted to know the identity of this old man, not for any other reason, just to satisfy his curiosity.

"…I…was once a member of one of the four great families, that's all…"

The old man sighed and said to Li Qi, "Okay, I have told you everything I should tell you. The rest of the time... leave it to me and Diya. I have something to tell him."

"understood."

Li Qi stood up without hesitation and placed the coins in his hand on the head of his father's bed.

There is no reason for him to take back what he has given away.

This is already Dia's silver coin. It has nothing to do with him whether Dia wants it or not. As long as Dia doesn't return it to him, he can let Dia do whatever he wants with it.

Richie and Ronnie left the small room, leaving the space inside to Dad and Diya.

Out of respect for an idealist, Li Qi didn't even use his extraordinary hearing to listen to the conversation inside.

"teacher……"

Ronnie came to Li Qi and called out hesitantly. Perhaps he and Crystal had said something, and Ronnie had understood the content of the conversation between Li Qi and his father, but he was a little bit unconvinced:

"…According to the prophecy, I will become the new hope of mankind?"

Li Qi looked back at him.

He thought of the picture the old man had sent him, recalled Ronnie's image in it, compared it with the current Ronnie, and said softly:

"A prophecy is just a prophecy. You have to know that I am not included in that prophecy."

"That's true. It's just a prophecy..."

Ronnie sighed as if he was relieved.

But there seemed to be some loss mixed in with this sigh.

Li Qi was silent for two seconds, then said:

"However, no one can predict the future. Perhaps... you really are the 'child of prophecy'."

The fate of the world is indeed related to Ronnie, but Li Qi cannot be sure whether it is Ronnie who will lead mankind to find new hope in the end.

Just as he said, Li Qi did not exist in the original prophecy.

Li Qi is the only variable.

And now this variable is going to cause trouble for the kingdom.

Originally, Li Qi didn't know where he should go next, but after hearing the old man's description and knowing everything he predicted, Li Qi now had a goal.

The prison of sin, this is probably the next stop that Li Qi should go to.

This place sounds like a place to hold criminals, but it actually hides secrets about the kingdom.

According to the original story line, Ronnie and his two companions would come here, enter the prison, and then discover this secret, and thus be wanted by the kingdom.

Otherwise, if he had just broken into the prison, he shouldn't have been wanted by the entire kingdom.

The secret there must be very important, so Li Qi plans to take Ronnie there.

Follow the original story line.

By the way, let’s take a look at what the old man’s eldest son did in there.

Li Qi was planning the next route. On the other side, Diya said his final goodbye to the old man and walked out of the room with red eyes.

He looked up at Li Qi, with some resentment and anger still in his eyes, but he quickly lowered his head and whispered:
"…Dad is gone. He told me to tell you that if you want to find what you're looking for, you'd better go to the prison."

"Well, I understand, thank you."

For a child who had just lost a loved one, Li Qi didn't need to get angry just because of the other person's look.

He sincerely thanked Diya and asked, "Where are you going next?"

"I want to be a fog explorer..."

Dea whispered.

After hearing what he said, Li Qi looked at Diya seriously, and after looking for a while, he understood.

It seems that the old man still had something else to offer. He left his belongings to Dia.

Dia has signed a contract with the relic, but because of her young age, it should be difficult for her to bring out the relic's power.

Although in theory, it is the relics that choose people, not people who choose the relics.

But Li Qi owns the Magic Cube and has a say in this matter.

People with the same bloodline are very likely to contract the same relic.

That is, the relic used by the ancestors. If the descendants with the same bloodline can also obtain this relic, there is a 90% chance that they can sign a contract with the relic.

Dia is his father's son, so it is normal for him to sign a contract with the legacy left by his father.

After confirming that Dia had already signed a contract with the relic, Li Qi had no intention of stealing the relic.

He retracted his gaze and said to Dia:
"Come on...By the way, will you stay here later?"

"Besides here, I have nowhere else to go..."

"Well, if I find your eldest brother in the prison, I will find a way to bring him back here."

"..." Hearing Li Qi's words, Diya was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said: "...I won't thank you."

"Well, I just wanted to do it, I don't need your thanks."

Li Qi responded.

Going to the prison to look for the old man’s eldest son was also to confirm the correctness of the prophecy.

If the old man's eldest son was still alive, he would do him a favor and send the person back.

On the other hand, if he died...it would have nothing to do with Li Qi.

After saying goodbye to the unhappy Diya, Li Qi and his four companions rushed towards the prison.

It is actually very easy to enter the prison.

For outsiders like Li Qi, as long as they sneak into the inner city and offend some nobles, they will definitely be thrown into prison.

But that would be too troublesome, and given the status of the Tanwu family, even if they really committed a crime, they would not necessarily be thrown into prison.

So Li Qi chose another way.

Use the Mirage Ring to sneak into the inner city, find the staff related to the prison, and replace their identities.

Then, blend in!
