A corpse fell out from a broken Roman column, a foul stench filled the air, and the situation instantly got out of control. Several young people fainted on the spot, and many staff members ran away.
"You refuse to listen, and you don't want me to call the police. You can handle it yourself from now on." Ivia shrugged and spread her hands.
The human-faced whale's face turned pale.
As expected of the most powerful family in the area, although the police car arrived downstairs, they were ultimately unable to come to the door. The body was taken away by several people in black clothes in a special plastic bag, and they actually disposed of it themselves.
But after that, the human-faced whale received a call and respectfully invited Tianluotou and Ivia to go to the manor in the suburbs for a detailed discussion.
The manor in the suburbs looked like an oriental manor. After entering the gate, I got off the car and was led by a servant. We passed through three courtyards and two small bridges and walked for a full fifteen minutes. Finally, I met the owner of the Iwami Group in a library-level study, a thin old man sitting in a wheelchair.
Next to it is a human-faced whale bending over and lowering its head.
Although the old man's voice was very soft, his pronunciation was surprisingly clear.
This is rare for the elderly, especially those who, in Avia's perception, only have a few months to live:
"My child has always had a smooth life, without any setbacks or encounters with any extraordinary people. He was very rude to you two, and I apologize to you both."
As he said this, he really tried his best to sit in the wheelchair and bowed slightly.
"I have never done evil in my life and have always supported good deeds. Yet, in my old age, I have encountered so many strange things. I am truly baffled. I hope you two can investigate and clear up my confusion."
After apologizing, the old man got straight to the point. However, from his tone, it seemed that Iwami Building was not the only one who encountered strange things, but it seemed that he and others had also encountered them.
"Of course. I've received your commission, so I'll naturally investigate carefully. However, the phone storing the data is broken, so it might be delayed."
The snail head started.
After hearing this, old man Iwami nodded, and a servant came to Tianluotou with a tray. On the tray was a brand new mobile phone.
"President, you don't know that the old mobile phone was bought for me by my late wife..." Before Tianluotou finished speaking, the second servant came up with a tray, this time neatly piled with a layer of banknotes.
Tianluotou didn't say anything else. He put the new phone on the tray of banknotes and took the tray over.
Seeing the old man's behavior, Ivia became interested and sat back. The power of sunlight condensed into a glowing chair. Ivia crossed her legs, supported her chin with her left hand, and asked curiously:
"How do you want to bribe me?"
The third servant also came up with a tray, on which was an invitation letter with a business card of the Iwami Company on it.
"This is just a meeting gift. Whether you're willing to help, Avia, or not, it's all yours. I just hope you won't take your anger out on my ignorant child."
The old man used low-key words and his voice was calm.
At this point, Ivia began to really become interested in the other party.
Ivia, a calm and elegant person, loved to see the other party's defense broken, so she spoke out to decide whether the person would live or die:
"You only have about two months to live anyway, so why bother with so much?"
"is it?"
As expected, no one could remain calm in the face of death. Although Old Man Iwami tried to remain calm, the distance was enough for Ivia to hear his rapidly accelerating heartbeat.
“How credible is it?”
"If I don't stay calm and my heartbeat continues to accelerate, I won't survive for more than two months!"
Ivia continued to gloat.
……
Chapter 298 Man is about to die
"Doctor! Doctor!"
The human-faced whale who had been lowering his head beside him shouted hurriedly at this time. With the shout, a short-haired woman in a black suit and holding a small toolbox quickly appeared.
After feeling the old man's pulse, she took out a can of spray from the small box and sprayed it on the old man's face. She held the back of the old man's neck with one hand and used the other hand to smooth his chest to help him breathe.
"Doctor Chengshi, do I only have two months to live?" The old man Iwami, who had recovered, asked the short-haired female doctor.
Hearing this name suitable for women's revenge, Avia quickly sensed it. No problem, this is a real girl, and her underwear is very bold.
Hearing the old man's question, Dr. Cheng Shi turned his head and glanced at Ai Wei Ya with a hint of disgust. It seemed that she was not far away just now.
"Although your organs are aging, I haven't seen any signs of exhaustion in any of them. Don't get too excited, as this will put a strain on your heart. As for how long you can live, my personal opinion is that if you maintain your current condition, you can still live for at least three years."
The doctor's judgment was very different from Avia's.
"Is that so? Thank you, Dr. Chengshi."
The old man calmed down after hearing the professional's judgment.
"If you are willing to help, Ms. Aivia, you can ask my butler about the relevant matters. Even if you are not willing, you can stay here for a few days and let me show my hospitality. I am old, so I will not accompany you."
Old man Iwami actually stopped asking for confirmation about life span and remained polite. After saying this, he closed his eyes and dozed off.
At the same time, another elderly man with gray hair but neatly dressed in a suit walked in from outside and politely extended his hand to guide Aivia and others.
Everyone, including the human-faced whale and the doctor, were invited out by the housekeeper.
Walking out of the study and into the corridor, Dr. Cheng Shi lit a cigarette, took a puff, and asked Ai Wei Ya, "How did you figure that out?"
As a doctor, Cheng Shi lied. This is actually something that must be done in a doctor's career. Even in the late stage of cancer, it is generally necessary to comfort the patient more. Maybe it will trigger a miracle of life. After all, the patient's desire to survive often has a great impact on the body.
"It's easy to tell how much vitality someone has!" Ivia answered truthfully, and looked at the cold beauty Cheng Shi with regret.
"Really? You can still see the vitality. Then take a look at how much vitality I have left?"
Although Cheng Shi said this, his tone was more joking than sarcastic, so Ivia didn't dislike it.
"It's less than old man Iwami's, about half a month's supply, and you burned a lot of cigarettes you lit." Ivia always speaks her mind.
"Tsk!" Dr. Cheng Shi stubbed out his cigarette unhappily, stuffed the remaining half into his pocket, and walked away in the opposite direction.
Ivia and Tianluotou were led to the guest room. Not long after they sat down, a young maid came over with a stack of documents. However, Ivia's previous method of summoning chairs was a bit alarming, so the maid trembled.
"Excuse me, young man, I haven't seen the world yet, please forgive me."
The old butler took the documents, asked the maid who was about to collapse to leave, and handed the documents to Tianluotou who was packing money.
Tianluotou stopped what he was doing, took the document, flipped through it a few times, and said to the old housekeeper:
"I do have a lot of data in my old phone. Could you please send me the memory card?"
The old butler nodded and went out.
"Avia, tell me the truth, how far can your demon-exorcising skills go?" After the old housekeeper left, Tianluotou asked Avia with a frown.
"What extent?" Aivia was puzzled.
"If the other party is the entire Iwami Group." Tianluotou said shockingly. It seems that there is something shocking in the information.
"I have no rivals. Not to mention a mere consortium, even the entire country or the world is not enough."
Ivia spoke calmly. Although Ivia is not in her prime now, nothing in this world can stop her existence.
If they are willing to treat Avia decently, they will naturally be decent. If they are not decent, Avia can help them be decent.
"I'll just assume that what you said is true." Tianluotou said this and began to summarize.
"The Iwami Group has been hiding a lot from the outside world. The death toll has already reached double digits. They are all recently missing employees and newcomers. I guess everyone in the group is already in a panic. This is a big problem."
"So you think there are no demons, and it's all the Iwami Group's illegal activities?" Ivia asked.
"Is there?" Snail Head asked Ivia uncertainly.
"There should be. It's possible that humans are manipulating demons, but demons and monsters do exist."
Everyone Ivia had seen since she came to this manor had turbid energy surrounding them, especially the doctor Cheng Shi. The turbid energy in her heart was almost solidified, but her own aura was only at the first level, and this turbid energy consumed a huge amount of her vitality.
If Ivia's guess is correct, this doctor is very likely the mastermind.
At the same time, Dr. Cheng Shi, who was believed by Ivia to be the mastermind, came to old man Iwami.
"How's the situation with Higurashi Shrine and the detective from Gokukyodo?" asked old man Iwami.
"The old man at Higurashi Shrine is an old liar, but he knows how to act and only does minor things; Gokukyo Natsuhiko is a very capable but trouble-averse detective, and he has a high mission completion rate." Cheng Shi reported.
"Where is Avia?" Old man Iwami continued to ask.
"do not know."
"do not know?"
"At first I thought she was a fool, then I looked for photos of Hirakura and Higurashi Shrine, so I don't know," Cheng Shi said.
"Is this incident related to her?" Old man Iwami's tone became low.
"No, if it was her, there would be no need to do this." Cheng Shi carefully recalled the impression Avia left on her.
"She's genuine, and very powerful?" Old Man Iwami asked, "How powerful is she? How does she compare to you?"
"I can't feel her, or rather, she's just like an ordinary person." Cheng Shi hesitated for a moment, then added, "If there were a god, it would probably be in that state."
"So I really can only live for two months?" Iwami noticed this keenly.
Cheng Shi remained silent.
"How is the Armstrong family's experiment? Can it prolong life?" Old man Shi Lian asked again.
"The current patriarch of the Armstrong family is a loser. Someone is simply borrowing their family name, and their motives are unclear and harbouring evil intentions."
Cheng Shi shared his findings.
"Forget it, go call Dalang and the others back! I want to see my children before I die." Old man Ishimi waved his hand listlessly and let Chengshi leave.
When Cheng Shi turned around, he asked again, "Do you think that Ai Wei Ya can help me?"
Hearing this, Cheng Shi turned around and replied, "That person probably can't be bought with money."
----
"Is there really a demon causing trouble?"
Tianluotou's eyes widened, feeling that the situation was a bit muddy, but the money was already in his pocket, and it was too difficult to take it all out.
However, facing the possibility of death caused by the demon, Tianluotou was still very aware of it, so he took out a few bundles from his money belt with difficulty and placed them in front of Ivia with a painful look on his face:
"We agreed on a 28- split. This is your share!"
This tangled behavior made Ivia feel playful.
"No, this incident involves humans. It's different from a simple demonic event. It's very difficult to handle."
