Chapter 147 Rebirth
“Old Tian————”
Jiang Ran felt as if the rainwater pooled on the rooftop had turned into glue-like mud, sticking to his feet so heavily that he could barely lift them, unable to move an inch.
As he had sprinted up the stairs just now, a stubborn hope had clung to him the entire way—that the so-called “second killer,” the successor who had replaced Fang Yang and infiltrated Donghai University, would not be Old Tian.
Back in 2045, the Killer had said that on July 21, he had switched assignments to kill Zhou Xiong; and Old Tian had coincidentally started working as a cleaner at Donghai University right after the new semester began.
The doctrine of the Mutual Aid Society of Regrets was to compensate each believer who completed a task for the regrets of their life. And Old Tian’s life could only be described as filled with regrets—he had lost his father in childhood, his wife after marriage, and his only daughter had fallen into a vegetative state.
It was now 11 p.m. What normal person would contact a cleaner at this hour to discuss something? But Old Tian had exactly one reason that no cleaner could refuse—only he could, at this time, guarantee that the cleaner would take the bait.
When Jiang Ran had just called the cleaner, the man had clearly said he was with Old Tian. And just as Jiang Ran shouted for him to get away from Old Tian, the call had suddenly been cut off—and could no longer be reached.
Countless direct and indirect clues—at this moment, all twisted together into a rope, winding and converging, pointing straight at Old Tian!
He had never imagined it.
