Chapter 1204: That Leather Jacket

That Leather Jacket

For Tao Yi's reaction, Li Wufang was very happy.

For all these years, he had always wanted to repay that uncle in the leather jacket, but had never heard any news about him. Now seeing someone who suspectedly knew the other, he was naturally excited.

"Even at this moment when we are about to embark on the path of resisting fate, I still have to praise 【Fate】 again.

I actually found a clue among the Predestined Ones and met someone who had seen him. How is this not predestination?

Do you know him? What's his name, where is he from......"

As he spoke, Li Wufang suddenly realized that this excitement made him ignore many things. It was no longer the original world. After 【Faith Game】 arrived, whether the uncle in the leather jacket was still alive in this game was a question.

Thinking of this, his expression stiffened, his tone stagnated, a flash of fear first flashed in his eyes, and then inexplicable hope surged up. His voice became very light, asking carefully: "Is he...... still alive?"

This question was a bit too difficult for Tao Yi.

She felt that the person the investigator spoke of was already dead, but she couldn't give a standard answer, because until now, she couldn't be 100% sure that this person was the person she thought of.

Tao Yi had indeed seen this leather jacket, back when she was in college.

At that time, her best friend Xiang Honglin was suffering through the most difficult time in her life, not only was her youth and flesh locked in a medicine jar filled with tubes, but the family business had also collapsed, and even less dignified ways of living began to become unsustainable.

Tao Yi went home and cried, begging her parents for help. Her parents were indeed not cold-blooded people, and they gave the greatest support they could give as friends, but this money was just a drop in the bucket before the life-sustaining equipment that swallowed gold.

Tao Yi was a sensible girl. She knew her family was also having a hard time, so she began to cut her own expenses and reduce extra spending, even eating only one meal a day, just to save money to fight for a hope for her best friend.

And this hope was...... the lottery.

There was nothing that could save her friend's family more than heaven-sent good luck, but where in the world would there be so much good luck?

Rather than saying she was gambling for good luck for Xiang Honglin, it was better to say she couldn't accept everything before her and was using this slim hope to numb herself.

In the half-year of persistence, she gained nothing, and Xiang Honglin's condition got worse and worse. Large debts began to gradually crush this family. Even if that biological professor was generous, he had to interrupt the maintenance of life equipment under financial pressure.

Her best friend was going to die, but Tao Yi was powerless.

Endless pressure finally crushed Tao Yi on a rainy day. She sat on the ground outside the lottery station and sobbed silently, feeling that the world was covered with a layer of gray shadow.

But just then, a turning point came.

A man in a leather jacket lifted her up and threw her under the eaves by pulling her arm. He didn't comfort her, but instead mocked her:

"What's the use of crying?

If tears could solve problems, this world would have been destroyed long ago."

Very strange, although she was ridiculed, Tao Yi didn't feel the other's malice. She looked up at the other with tearful eyes. Under the cover of exaggerated sunglasses, she didn't recognize the person's face, only remembered that black leather jacket.

"I've lived here for three days, and I see you come to buy lottery tickets at a fixed time every day when I come out for a walk. Interesting. Since you want to gamble so much, why don't you gamble in a casino?

Isn't it faster to get money there?"

Tao Yi didn't speak. She was still immersed in the blankness of being crushed by pressure, not even realizing what she was doing now, or who the uncle opposite was.

Seeing Tao Yi not speaking, the man in the leather jacket hummed and laughed again: "Mostly it's a money problem again. The funny thing is, everything in this world is a problem to me, except money.

Tell me, how much is needed to solve your troubles?"

Hearing this, Tao Yi gradually cleared up.

She grabbed her collar tightly, hugged herself, and cautiously moved back. She knew deeply that her appearance would bring trouble, but she didn't think the timing of the trouble would be so subtle. At this moment, she suddenly thought, could these troubles solve Xiang Honglin's troubles.

Who knew that after seeing this, the man in the leather jacket spat in disgust.

"A little girl, brain still full of waste. Who cares.

Want it or not, give me a word. I'm not cheap, I don't have to rush to send you money."

Tao Yi was really scolded stupid, but she had no reason to give up this "scam" that looked like hope, so she thought of it as making a wish and said a number.

"Just this?

Not enough for me to open a game."

The man in the leather jacket sneered, threw down a chip at will, and waved, calling over a "female assistant" who was excellent in both temperament and appearance.

Tao Yi stared blankly at the chip on the ground, then looked up blankly at the elegant lady, watching the two people solve the financial problem that was as difficult as heaven in her eyes in a few words.

"Aying, help her make it into a lottery ticket, otherwise a little girl wouldn't know how to explain the source of so much money."

"...... Taken a fancy to her?"

"Fart, too much money, do some good deeds to accumulate virtue."

"...... Then why don't you accumulate some virtue with me?"

"You want it? Should have said so earlier. The income of next month is all for you. Accumulate more virtue, maybe you can die slower."

As he spoke, the man in the leather jacket lifted his feet and left.

Tao Yi finally reacted. She gripped the chip tightly, looked at the back in the rain, and shouted: "What's your name, how should I find you?"

The man in the leather jacket paused: "Find me for what, relying on me?"

"I want to repay you."

"Really want to repay?"

Tao Yi shrank her neck, then looked firm and nodded heavily: "What's your name, how should I contact you?"

The man in the leather jacket stood still in the rain, looked back at her:

"Tsk, want to know my identity?

Too many people are thinking about me. I can't even be sure if today's good deed is someone else doing a layout for me.

Little girl, can I trust you?"

Tao Yi was stunned, nodded heavily again: "Yes."

The man in the leather jacket suddenly smiled. He sneered:

"Trust my ass. Forget it. By the time you have the ability to pay back this money, I'll probably be dead. What's there to repay.

Repay my son."

The rain got heavier and heavier, and the figure in the leather jacket got further and further away. The woman named Aying communicated with the lottery shop owner for a while in the lottery shop, then held an umbrella and elegantly chased after that figure.

Tao Yi spent a confused night. The next day, her friend was saved.

She had never told anyone about these things, not even Xiang Honglin.

She thought that after 【Faith Game】 arrived, the repayment she spoke of would have no chance to be fulfilled.

Until......

In a trial of 【Annihilation】, she heard that sentence again from a little priest whose words and deeds were somewhat like him:

"Can I trust you?"

At that moment, she saw his shadow on the little priest. ===== CHAPTER 1205 =====
