Black Myth: Starting from the Destined One-Chapter 46 - 42 Look Down on Me
Chapter 46: Chapter 42 Look Down on Me
Chapter 46 -42 Look Down on Me
“What is this again, my lady?”
Huang Yi’an gave Wanyan Mengwen an impatient glare and began to watch disinterestedly.
“Determining life and death… predicting the future… it’s quite strange…”
Seeing Huang Yi’an suddenly looking much more spirited, Wanyan Mengwen quickly continued to explain:
“Cousin, this video is currently very popular online, it’s in the top three trending searches, and both the click rate and the number of plays have exceeded one million.”
“I can guarantee he really has some abilities; if it was fake, he couldn’t have been so accurate, and there wouldn’t be so many people believing in him online!”
Only then did Huang Yi’an fully understand the purpose of Wanyan Mengwen bringing this university student here.
After watching, he became interested and was also extremely shocked by Li Ping’an’s divination abilities, but the more he was moved, the more hesitant he became.
Based on Li Ping’an’s performance in the video, he indeed demonstrated some capabilities. It couldn’t be called groundbreaking, but it was certainly spectacular.
But what if Li Ping’an determining life and death or predicting the future was just a coincidence? What if he only knew how to tell fortunes?
You know, what we’re facing next are ghosts, fierce ghosts, not humans. It’s not about telling fortunes, but about fighting ghosts face to face. What if Li Ping’an dies because of this?
He couldn’t bear that responsibility, nor did he dare to gamble with someone else’s life!
All those so-called accomplished monks, Xuanmen Taoist Masters, and Jianghu masters came for the reward, and so far none have resolved it, proving they are utter swindlers. If a fierce ghost kills them, it would actually be a good deed.
It’s said that one’s wrongdoing leads to one’s own demise, essentially allowing heaven to redeem the scammers, keeping them from harming others in the future.
But Li Ping’an was different, a top student from Hehuang University, a standout scholar, only eighteen or nineteen years old, with such a bright future ahead of him. How could he be allowed to take such a risk?
Most crucially, in the latter part of the video displayed by Wanyan Mengwen, Li Ping’an himself denied having the abilities to determine life and death or predict the future, which means he doesn’t know how to subdue demons or capture ghosts, much less is he any so-called Living Immortal!
No! Absolutely not! I cannot allow my incompetence to harm an innocent university student!
Huang Yi’an incessantly shook his head as he hesitated, strenuously suppressing his selfish thoughts.
“Cousin, I know what you’re thinking; actually, when I first found Li Ping’an, I thought the same as you, but what other option do we have now?”
“Don’t forget, we’ve been keeping these people here for over ten days now, and some of them are even legislators. If we delay any further, the police might as well go home and take care of their children!”
Wanyan Mengwen saw where Huang Yi’an was hesitant and immediately started explaining.
“No, I can’t get past this mental barrier!”
After firmly rejecting the idea, Huang Yi’an stared at Wanyan Mengwen:
“You brat, did you trick him into coming here? He’s still clueless about the situation. If that’s the case, go write your resignation letter immediately; you are not fit to be a police officer!”
“Look how fierce you are!”
Wanyan Mengwen said grievously:
“How could I possibly not explain the situation to him? After hearing everything, he volunteered to come!”
“What? He asked to come here voluntarily?”
“Exactly, do you think he’s a fool? Do you think he finds this place fun? He is a top student from Hehuang University; would he joke about his life without being sure?”
“This…”
Huang Yi’an’s resolute attitude and psychological defenses were completely shaken and collapsed by Wanyan Mengwen’s remark.
Knowing there was a fierce ghost here yet still actively asking to come? Maybe it’s just me underestimating him with my foolish perceptions!
Facing Li Ping’an, his last hope, Huang Yi’an decided to give it a try.
“Alright, I agree to your plan, and if something goes wrong, I’ll take the blame!”
Huang Yi’an agreed very reluctantly, took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset and tone, then turned and walked over to the incredibly calm Li Ping’an, pressing urgently:
“Hello, you are Li Ping’an, right?”
“Yes, may I ask who’s asking?”
“I am Huang Yi’an, Wanyan Mengwen’s team leader and the only person in charge here, she has explained the situation inside to you, hasn’t she?”
The cautious Huang Yi’an was afraid his cousin might deceive him and others in her haste to resolve the case, so he confirmed it once more.

Li Ping’an said leisurely:
“Officer Huang, don’t be so nervous. Big Sister Wanyan has explained the situation here clearly to me. There’s a saying, isn’t there? ‘It’s fun to fight against Heaven, and fun to fight against people.’ I’m just curious if it’s also fun to fight against ghosts. Of course, it doesn’t even deserve to contend with me.”
Li Ping’an was nonchalant, and his words were filled with disdain, as if this matter was merely a delightful game for him, not only unafraid but eager to enjoy the thrill of this terrifying game.
“Fun to fight? It doesn’t deserve? Kid, I’ve been your age too, and I know all too well how young people your age love thrill-seeking and showing off!”
“But this is not the place for you to show off or seek thrills!”
When Huang Yi’an heard these words, he really didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, especially after watching the video and thinking that Li Ping’an had some unique Xuanmen skills, unlike ordinary people.
But now, hearing this boundlessly arrogant speech, he felt that Li Ping’an was no different from any typical overenthusiastic young person; one would think Li Ping’an had watched one too many ghost films.
He then became more serious to prevent any accidents, fixating on Li Ping’an and saying word for word:
“I don’t know what your relationship is with my cousin, but you mustn’t come here trying to show off or act cool in front of her, as it could lead to someone’s death!”
“Once you decide to go in, don’t expect to come out until the issue is resolved!”
“Moreover, every night you will hear knocking sounds, those knocks are extremely tempting, they can instantly make you lose your mind and become a puppet, sending yourself to death without even knowing how you died!”
“To tell you the truth, thirteen people have already died here, I don’t want to harm you!”
“So I want to confirm one last time!”
“Are you sure you want to go in? It’s not too late to back out now!”
“Based on the video, I feel you possess some skills, perhaps taught by your family or a master?”
“If so, and they can resolve this matter, you can bring them here. If the case is solved, the reward will be five hundred thousand!”
Li Ping’an looked at him very surprised and countered unhappily:
“Officer Huang, are you hoping to have this issue resolved, or are you actually hoping I’d die?”
“Talking about death the moment you open your mouth, implying I’m just here to show off, do you look down on me or doubt my abilities?”
Huang Yi’an gave a wry smile:
“Kid, this is just my concern throwing me into confusion. Although my words might be harsh, it’s for your own good. If you genuinely have a way to resolve this, I still hope you can sincerely help us!”
