Becoming an indescribable god after failing to ring in the new year.

Chapter 86 The Only Solution (Seeking 7 first-time subscriptions)

"My dear grandson, don't be afraid, the snake has been killed—" His grandmother's words of comforting him when she killed a snake with a broom during his childhood seemed to echo in his ears.

Looking at the venomous snake not far away, Lu Xiao seemed to be hallucinating; the coiled snake with its head raised seemed to be himself.

Instinctively, Lu Xiao swung the hoe in his hand.

The hoe struck the ground, sending water splashing up.

The five-step snake wasn't killed, but its tail was injured, and it twisted its body and ran away.

Seeing the venomous snake disappear into the distance, Lu Xiao rushed to the vegetable garden to rescue the person.

He walked slowly to Wu Xiumei's side and placed his hand on her nose, which was lying on its side.

Fortunately, although his breathing was weak, he was still alive.

Lu Xiao helped Wu Xiumei up.

Fortunately, the elderly man was frail and his weight was not heavy at the moment.

They helped her into the house and briefly checked her exposed hands and feet, but found no wounds.

Lu Xiao then roughly determined that Wu Xiumei had not been bitten by a snake, but had simply tripped and fallen due to the sudden wind and rain.

After returning to the house, Wu Xiumei woke up shortly afterward.

She stared at the ceiling for a long time before she remembered what had happened.

"I'm getting old and my body can't take it anymore; I can't even withstand a gust of wind," Wu Xiumei sighed.

Then Wu Xiumei looked at Lu Xiao and smiled: "See? I told you, only by atoning for your sins can you live."

Lu Xiao remained silent in response to Wu Xiumei's words.

Looking back now, everything does seem to fit together perfectly, like cause and effect.

Wu Xiumei transferred money to him to atone for his sins, and he only recovered from his previous state of being terrified after the person who transferred the money called him, and then he saved Wu Xiumei who had fainted.

"What can I do to atone for my sins?" Lu Xiao asked after a while.

"I truly repent." Wu Xiumei slowly got up and said earnestly, "Only by truly repenting can we introduce external variables and change our fate."

"I can't do it." Lu Xiao shook his head. Just as he regretted killing his brother, so much so that no one visited him during his seven years in prison, but this regret was always just a fleeting emotion. He would not turn himself in because of regret, much less visit and take care of Wang Yanlin because of regret.

I didn't have any related thoughts before I went to prison, and I haven't had any related thoughts since I was released.

He's just bad; his inherent selfishness is something he can't change.

"Then accept death peacefully." Wu Xiumei did not try to persuade Lu Xiao any further.

She simply stood up, rinsed some rice from the rice jar, and prepared to cook some porridge.

No matter what happens, people should eat well, exercise well, and live well.

By the time the pot was placed on the stove, the rain outside had stopped.

Wu Xiumei came to the earthen platform, squatted down and pulled up Li Shi's body, then called Lu Xiaolai from inside the house to lend a hand.

Lu Xiao didn't want to move. Although the poison he had been given didn't seem to be fatal at the moment, it made him feel extremely weak.

Li Shi's body should just be left lying there; why move it inside to disgust people?

However, Lu Xiao quickly changed his mind. He thought that Wu Xiumei had helped him atone for his sins, which was why he had "just happened" to save her.

If I help Wu Xiumei, will she be able to save me when I encounter difficulties?

With this in mind, Lu Xiao stood up and went to help move the body.

With their combined efforts, Li Shi's heavy body was finally moved into the house.

Wu Xiumei washed her hands, and after a while, she brought over two bowls of porridge from the kitchen.

The smell of blood inside wasn't too strong; a bowl of plain porridge with a little pickled vegetables was enough to make the food taste delicious.

Wu Xiumei calmly drank her porridge, showing no particular emotion despite having almost died.

"My ordeal is almost over." Lu Xiao paused, looked at Wu Xiumei, and only then did he notice that the black mark between her eyebrows had faded considerably.

"That's impossible! We've been through so much hardship along the way, and you've only fallen once!" Lu Xiao thought he had given up hope and was only trying his luck with the possibility of surviving.

However, at this moment he truly broke down.

They worked incredibly hard, enduring countless hardships, yet the dark marks on their foreheads haven't faded at all; in fact, they've grown thicker and thicker.

But Wu Xiumei, this old woman, is different; it really shows that different people have different fates!

The more his defenses were breached, the angrier he became, and the less Lu Xiao dared to make a move.

"That's because of different beliefs and mindsets." Wu Xiumei looked at Lu Xiao with a hint of helplessness.

On the other hand, Lu Shi couldn't help but admire his senior.

In a sense, Wu Xiumei has already completed the game.

The simulated horror will end as long as Lu Xiao dies now.

Because Wu Xiumei's cognitive imprint has been solidified through a kind of belief that "I must live."

This belief is incredibly firm and powerful, and because of its unique understanding of numerology such as "Three Killings Approaching Fate," it forms a connection with simulated terror in a highly self-consistent way.

Therefore, even if it is only for a period of time, it is enough to meet the needs of simulating horror.

"With a pure and genuine heart of atonement and by sincerely making changes, can external things be attracted to intervene through these changes?" Lu Shi carefully pondered this change.

The numerous mystical flaws in the Three Killings Approaching Fate are attributed to Wu Xiumei's actions.

Once the simulated horror ends, Lu Shi's ability in numerology will change.

The effectiveness of other talismans and talismans that offer financial loss to avert disaster will decrease by 80-90%.

Only Wu Xiumei's method could instantly break Lu Shi's Three Killings Approaching Fate. In fact, if that person's heart was like Wu Xiumei's now, purely to atone for others' sins, then Lu Shi might even suffer a backlash and temporarily lose control of the Three Killings Approaching Fate.

But to be honest, there are very few people as fearless as Wu Xiumei.

It seems that whether this fatal flaw exists or not makes no difference.

Even if others knew this method, it would be difficult for them to do it.

They genuinely repent and take concrete steps to atone for their sins.

Most importantly, the party being redeemed must also respond and intervene in the matter in some way, representing the power of forgiveness.

This is too difficult. After all, many times people regret their mistakes, but how many people can completely change their perception, truly recognize their errors, and sincerely repent for their past sins?

Just like Lu Xiao, Wu Xiumei has already told him the method and demonstrated its effects in a very intuitive way.

He is indeed trying to atone for his sins and show repentance, but most of his repentance is driven by self-interest.

He didn't know he was wrong; he just didn't want to die.

This kind of mentality is completely useless.
