Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!
Chapter 874 All the Same

Chapter 874: Chapter 874 All the Same

"This family is surnamed Shi, and they have lived in this village for many years."

"When my master was traveling in the past, he helped them, so over the years, the Shi family has always come to Shuiyun Temple to offer incense."

"Just last month, Aunt Shi came to offer incense and sought me out, mentioning that her daughter’s recent condition was not very good."

"Because this village is not a good place, the Feng Shui is rather poor, and the fortunes of young people born here are generally mediocre, I didn’t think much of it and gave Aunt Shi a few talismans to take back home."

"Today I ran into Lady Wan, and adding your encounter with Miss Lu Yafei earlier, I think Xiao Ni’s condition is quite similar to theirs. This matter shouldn’t just be a coincidence."

The two of them talked as they walked to a small courtyard.

In the yard, a middle-aged couple was feeding chickens.

Seeing Changqing from a distance, the woman’s eyes lit up, and she quickly put down what she was holding.

"Taoist Changqing!"

The man also looked up when he heard the commotion, and both of them came to greet them.

"Taoist Changqing, why are you here unannounced?"

Changqing smiled, "Aunt, you mentioned last time that Xiao Ni’s condition wasn’t very good. I happened to be free today, so I came to take a look."

Aunt Shi was very grateful and was about to say something when she noticed Jiang Li standing next to her.

She had never seen someone so pale and beautiful before.

Changqing introduced, "This is Miss Jiang Li Jiang, kind of a colleague of mine. She heard about Xiao Ni’s condition and was very concerned, so she came with me."

Aunt Shi trusted Changqing very much and, hearing this, didn’t ask any further questions and welcomed both of them inside.

This small village may not be very developed, but it seemed the Shi family’s condition was quite good. They made a lot of money by growing greenhouse flowers and built a large house.

While preparing tea for the two, Aunt Shi sighed.

"But Taoist Changqing, you’ve come at a bad time. Xiao Ni has had a fever for the past two days, and she just came back from getting an IV drip. She’s already laid down to rest. She’s been feeling unwell for a while and shouldn’t be disturbed."

Changqing and Jiang Li exchanged a glance, both of their expressions becoming more intriguing.

Changqing said directly, "May I take a look? I’m afraid Xiao Ni’s issues are not simply due to illness."

Aunt Shi looked at Changqing’s expression and understood that the situation might be serious, so she hurriedly took them upstairs without another thought.

Xiao Ni’s room was dimly lit, and she was currently lying in bed, sleeping soundly.

Even when Aunt Shi brought them in and turned on the light, she remained motionless.

It was apparent that she was indeed unwell.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her brows were knitted in discomfort.

Aunt Shi was very distressed, "Xiao Ni has been having a fever for three days, and she doesn’t seem any better today."

Changqing observed for a while and said, "Aunt, could you step out for a moment?"

Aunt Shi nodded and went out, closing the door behind her.

Changqing stared at Xiao Ni and asked, "What do you think?"

"The state is very similar to Miss Lu." Jiang Li walked over and took her pulse.

Then she gave Changqing a knowing look.

Changqing took out a talisman, and just like what he did with Wan Jia, he placed it on Xiao Ni’s forehead.

After removing the talisman paper, the same strange pattern that appeared on Wan Jia’s forehead was visible on hers.

Jiang Li’s expression grew more serious.

"It’s all the same."

Lu Yafei, Wan Jia, and now this Xiao Ni, all were affected by the same curse.

Changqing frowned, "Who could be so cruel and malicious to cast such a vicious shifting fortune curse?"

Jiang Li mused, "Looking at it this way, this person seems to strike indiscriminately. After all, these three people have different backgrounds and live in completely different places. It might take a while to find them."

"However..." she smiled, "I’ve already reported their situations to Lin Jingshan. The bureau’s database should be much more comprehensive than ours."

"Indeed, that’s a method." Changqing replied, "So what do we do about this Xiao Ni now? Should we break the curse?"

Jiang Li shook her head, "When I broke the curse on Lu Yafei earlier, I think the person who cast it was already aware. Breaking the curse on each of them one by one isn’t a solution. Capture the leader first; it would be better to catch the mastermind behind the scenes to prevent future troubles."

Jiang Li’s method, though risky, was indeed the fastest way to cut through the complication now.

Changqing agreed and went out to discuss with Aunt Shi about taking Xiao Ni to the temple, to stay with Wan Jia.

After all, shifting fortune could be seen as big or small, and while at Shuiyun Temple, he could at least ensure they wouldn’t face any major accidents.

Jiang Li didn’t return to Shuiyun Temple. After leaving the Shi family, she went back to her own home.

On the way, she opened Weibo and saw the trending topics list.

Although her live stream topic had been pushed down, it was still quite popular, with thousands of people discussing the three who won the prize.

Jiang Li gently tapped her fingers on the screen.

The matter had become so public that the person behind it should have seen it by now.

Were they whom she thought?

Not long after she got home, Jiang Li received a call.

It wasn’t from Lin Jingshan.

It was from Zhao Lang.

"I saw your live stream today." Zhao Lang was clearly attending some hotel function and called during a break, "Is everything okay?"

Jiang Li didn’t beat around the bush and replied directly, "Young Master Gu’s intel is indeed quick. It’s a bit tricky, so I might have to get in touch with the Mystical Event Investigation Bureau."

However...

Although Lin Jingshan respects her, the investigation bureau isn’t run by him or his execution team alone. Others probably only see her as an external staff member and don’t care much.

Until now, she hadn’t heard from Lin Jingshan.

But this matter with these girls needed to be resolved quickly. The longer the curse stayed on them, the more they would suffer.

After hearing Jiang Li’s description, Zhao Lang tapped his fingers on the table.

"Don’t bother investigating them through the bureau. I should be able to find their information here."

"I’ll have Yu Fei investigate their recent connections and send them to you."

"Alright, thank you, Young Master Gu."

Zhao Lang’s lips curled up, "If you really want to thank me, why not find time to have a meal with me?"

Jiang Li: "We’ll discuss it later."

The next second, there was a "click" as she hung up the phone.

Zhao Lang sighed lightly.

No problem.

At least he was still useful to her.

Two hours later, Jiang Li received an email from Yu Fei.

The moment she opened it, the recent network of connections for the three people unfolded instantly.

It was densely packed and extremely detailed.

Jiang Li couldn’t help but be amazed.

Indeed, Young Master Gu’s reputation was quite effective; he quickly obtained what she wanted.

For an ordinary person, it might have taken a month to complete.

After admiring the information, Jiang Li carefully browsed through it.

And indeed, she found something!
