My Big Brother is Seeking Death Again - Chapter 19: Old Man Lin falls from the sky (2)

Chapter 19: Old Man Lin falls from the sky (2)

After the system uninstalled itself from her phone, she never paid any attention to it. The phone never ran out of power in the one month she worked as a delivery person, and it also didn’t surprise her because she knew the system was there which was providing it the energy it needed. But the system wasn’t in it anymore, the phone should have been dead a long ago.

And besides, who was on the other end of the phone just now? How did they call her? The phone clearly showed that it was out of service area, then how could it be connected? And the words of that person were vague, what did he want to say? What did he mean ‘don’t come over’? Where was he, or rather, she going? The other party’s tone was also anxious, and his vague words were enough to understand he was warning her.

After thinking about it for a while, Shi Xia pressed the phone number with ‘unknown caller’ on top it and tried to call the person. But no matter how many times she tried to call back, the sentence “You are out of service area” popped up. She tried more than hundred times, and each time the same prompt popped up.

It was obvious that she couldn’t call that person since she was in a world where there was no cell phone network. But that person was able to contact her, which proved that something was sure wrong with her phone. She quickly looked at the screen and tried to find the problem. The screen showed all the icons of the familiar apps she had previously used in her former world. Along with these apps, an unfamiliar apps was also there that stood out like a sore thumb in her eyes. The app was similar to the system app, which helped her deliver Gold fingers to protagonists of various novels. But the word under the icon wasn’t 《Transmigrate》but 《Cultivation*》

[T/N: It was “Immortal” in RAWS but I thought the word “Cultivation” would suit it better so I changed it.]

Shi Xia’s heart sank, the system was not uninstalled? Why did it installed a new app in her phone?

After pondering for a moment to figure out what could it be, she clicked the app. A map popped up on the screen which was completely unfamiliar to Shi Xia. At the top right corner of the map, the word “Mu Xuan Immortal House” was written in simplified Chinese.

And at the bottom of the map, another prompt was written: Mission process 0/1

The corners of Shi Xia’s mouth twitched. She pressed the shut down button hard as if she didn’t care what was in the phone.

    I believe in your ghost!

Shi Xia sighed for the umpteenth time at her situation. She was a cultivator with no Spiritual Roots. Was illiterate and the public enemy of this world. After staying here for eight months, she was finally able to change her situation when she was thrown off a cliff by a vengeful spirit and now still falling down the cliff. She wanted to except the mission, just to see if it would change something. But seeing the big 0 in her credit value, she felt a little reluctant. After debating with herself ‘To do or not to do’ for two hours, she felt her hesitation was a bit redundant.

There was no way she could get out of her situation. So accepting the mission and not accepting had no value in itself. She thought about climbing up the cliff but she had no idea how high the cliff was. Besides, the wind around her was still slapping against her face and ears mercilessly, which meant she was still falling.

Her situation lasted like this until dark, and only the next morning did something change.

Because ……

An old man fell from the sky…….

The old man was covered in blood, a big hole could be seen in the middle of his chest, from where blood was pouring endlessly.

Shi Xia was startled. She opened her mouth to ask a nonsense question, “Hey, hey, hey, are you okay?”

This person looked too miserable, he looked at the verge of dying. She didn’t know why, she had a vague feeling that this old man was going to self-distruct himself. She wanted to help him but didn’t know how. He had lost a lot of blood and she didn’t had anything to stop it.

“You ……” the old man gasped a few times before spurting a large mouthful of blood. He seemed to flow in and out of consciousness, but he still forced himself to open his mouth and said to her, “I didn’t expect… . I would see a living person here …….”

“Don’t talk, you are heavily wounded ah.” Shi Xia had no time to think how to help him. She frantically tore a piece of cloth from her sleeve, but after tearing it up she suddenly remembered that she didn’t know how to bandage. Not to mention, he was injured almost everywhere in his body, there weren’t a place of his body from where he wasn’t bleeding. It was as if every single pore of his body was leaking blood. She looked at the piece of cloth she tore up and asked him, “Do you have any elixir or something? I don’t have much cloth and I don’t know how to bandage you. Tell me, how can I help you?”

“No need ……” the old man spat out a few more mouthfuls of blood and panted heavily before saying, “this old man will die soon …… meeting you is also considered fate…… the Heaven would not let my Tian Chen clan end.” He suddenly struggled to pull out a jade plaque from his side and handed it to her with difficulty, “Little girl …… take it.”

“Oh.” Shi Xia hurriedly took the jade token with both hands, which was still stained with blood.

“I am Lin Xie, the head of the Tian Chen Sect, this is the highest technique of my Tian Chen Sect …… …… It is heaven’s will for the old man …… to see you here and pass it to you.” The old man’s voice was getting weaker and weaker, as if he is going to return to the west* in the next moment, “When you cultivate the great technique…… remember to avenge my Tian Chen Sect …….”

[T/N: I don’t know what it means but I think it’s connected to the movie Journey to the West, where the monk (I forgot the monk’s name) goes to the West to retrieve the Buddhist scripture and dies on the way. I only saw the movie so I’m not sure.]

“But I have no Spiritual Roots ah!”

“What!” The old man was so astonished that he sat up straight, but the next moment.

Poof ……

He spurted out a mouthful of old blood and tilted his head as his lifeless body fell along with Shi Xia.
