Chapter 789 [(*^▽^*)]
To be honest, Lin Leyou strongly supports this kind of punishment in the real world, as it is the only way to effectively deter lawless criminals.
However... even with such cruel punishments, those greedy bandits would still take the risk. But... I didn't know that the fishman village had such punishments before. After all, they would capture people and punish them all together, throwing them into the sea to drown and feed the fish.
But things are different now. This news will spread rapidly through human cities, and perhaps in just a few days, everyone will know.
Those bandits and thugs who secretly cause trouble are definitely the most well-informed. Once they know the punishment method of the Fishman Village, I wonder if they will still try to find the current location of the Fishman Village.
"Wow, these layers of fat inside are really thick, but its overall size hasn't changed, so where did all this fat come from?"
"Have the bones inside changed? They've all turned into a fish head and tail. Why don't we cut it open and take a look?"
"Didn't they say this guy was involved in organized crime? What if we do this here and his people see us doing it secretly? Won't they come after us?"
"Maybe we should just forget about it. We can't afford to mess with them. Let's just leave them here to fend for themselves."
Lin Leyou thought to himself, this person had previously said that someone instructed him to forge the Golden Snake Bracelet, and he just happened to turn into this strange state when he was about to reveal the person behind it all.
It's likely that the people of Fishman Village don't want this person to reveal the current location of Fishman Village, since judging from his appearance, he must have done something bad in Fishman Village.
So much so that the merman relentlessly pursued him, and perhaps even now, that merman is still somewhere, secretly watching this place, and will not leave until this person dies.
Or perhaps let him live and continue fishing, catching his accomplices so that he can settle scores and seek revenge.
Lin Leyou was talking to Xue Rui, who looked at the nearly 20-centimeter-long and 3-5-centimeter-deep cut in the middle and felt speechless.
If you're afraid of retaliation from your accomplices, isn't it a bit too late now? Such a large wound could be fatal.
Xue Rui secretly told Lin Leyou with the ring, "It seems like they said that on purpose."
Lin Leyou blinked. "Huh? Why is that? Are you helping the fishman lure out his accomplices?"
Xue Rui said, "I have a feeling that this person knows the location of the Fishman Village. His accomplices will definitely not let him go. From now on, anyone who wants to protect this person's life should be a suspect."
Lin Leyou: "Okay, let's take a look."
They had just finished their conversation when someone in the crowd spoke up, "Just leave him here. He'll die on his own in a while anyway, and no one will bother you then."
The man holding the knife hesitated. "What if his accomplices rescue him? We're still quite far from the entrance to Twin Horn City, and it's nighttime now. It's easy for them to steal him away."
"In that case, shall we move to a closer spot?"
Some people found it too complicated and frowned, saying, "It's so complicated, I really don't understand it. You guys play by yourselves, I'm going back."
The person who spoke turned and left, leading his friends into the city, seemingly unwilling to get involved in the matter any further. Of the remaining people, Lin Leyou and his group of five stood quietly to the side without saying a word.
There were five people squatting or sitting on the ground surrounding the strange fish, and eight people standing on the other side watching. It didn't seem like there were many people.
"The city lord sent people to dump this here. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate to take it back near the city?"
"If you're going to keep agonizing over this, just kill him."
“Killing him would still cause trouble, wouldn’t it? This person is said to be part of an organization that specializes in stealing orc children from the five major villages… no, six villages. The organization is full of vicious criminals.”
The man with the knife finally decided not to make a move. "Let's go back. We can just leave this here. It's none of our business anyway."
Soon the five of them left as well. Lin Leyou and the others had no intention of staying any longer and left together. The person who had been watching from the other side also left one after another.
There were only three people standing there. They seemed to know each other, but it was unclear what they wanted to do.
They didn't speak, but waited until everyone else had left before casually exchanging words, mostly about whether to take the monster back for research.
And they kept talking about this issue, so they decided to contact other friends to come and discuss it together. If everyone agreed, they planned to drive the item away.
Lin Leyou didn't know how others did it, but he left a mechanical spider there. Under the cover of darkness, he crawled the mechanical spider down his trouser leg, out from the bottom of his trousers, and then burrowed into the ground through his shoe. He did this quietly and no one would notice.
Moreover, they were still a bit of a distance from the person who had turned into a monster. Lin Leyou had put some thought into choosing that spot earlier, so they wouldn't doubt the distance.
Of course, Lin Leyou didn't hear anything strange, so were these people pretending or did they really just want to study the person on the ground?
At this moment, Lin Leyou realized something: the person who had turned into a monster seemed to have discovered them... That's right, after Lin Leyou and the others, along with some onlookers, approached, they stopped moving.
Even his protruding eyes no longer showed any fear or confusion, as if he had suddenly felt at ease, as if he had seen someone he knew, or someone who could save him.
So... these three people are faking it; they're all accomplices.
It's unclear whether they realize that there might be murlocs lurking in the shadows, waiting for them to slip up so they can turn them into the same creature.
Lin Leyou smirked, "They said they'd call a car to take them away. What do you think?"
Qin Xingyu took out a few nuts from her pocket and ate them as she said, "What else can we do? They're all waiting."
Who are these "them"? On one side is a gang of bandits, and on the other are fishmen lurking in the shadows?
They returned to Twin Horn City, but stayed in a location relatively close to the exit, so they could react quickly if anything happened.
But soon, Lin Leyou discovered someone he hadn't expected.
"Zhang Jiao?" He saw a car driving out of the city and heading in the direction of the three people who hadn't left.
The person driving inside was none other than Zhang Jiao, a very familiar face. The bruises and swelling on his face had not yet subsided, but you could clearly see the excited expression on his face.
Of course, there were three other people in the car besides him, none of whom I had ever seen before, and they were all strangers.
Lin Leyou frowned deeply. Could it be that this accomplice was Zhang Jiao?! And were the three people outside contacting Zhang Jiao?
If the person who turned into a monster is taken back to the city, then the fishmen lying in ambush nearby might not be able to make a move, right?
That's not right either. The person who turned into a fish monster did change within the city, but no fishmen were found at the time, so fishmen can use their talents from a distance.
Many things are still unclear, so we need to continue to observe.
Zhang Jiao did indeed park his car near the three of them, but he didn't get out. Instead, he sat in the car and talked to them.
Because of the redness and swelling on his face, Zhang Jiao's speech was a little unclear. "You called me here just for this?"
"Young Master Zhang, aren't you very interested in the Fishman Village? Don't you really want to take this back and study it? Maybe we can find a way to counter this talent."
"After all, Young Master Zhang is dedicated to visiting all the villages. If we don't find a way to deal with this talent, even if we find the location of the Fishman Village, we might just die there."
Zhang Jiao did indeed come for this reason, but he was still a little hesitant, since he had snuck out and what would happen if his father found out...
Okay, actually we've already figured it out. After all, there are three people in our car keeping an eye on him. If he tries to escape, we'll knock him out and take him back immediately.
He asked the older man in the passenger seat with some uncertainty, "Do you think I can take it back?"
He replied, "It's highly unlikely; the city lord ordered it to be thrown outside the city."
If you want to take it back, you must obey the order to take it back; otherwise, it is absolutely not allowed. Other things can be discussed, but the city lord will absolutely not agree to this strange thing.
Zhang Jiao was very disappointed. He really wanted to study it directly, but he couldn't take it back. "Can we study it here? I'll put a little Pengzi here to block it."
"If we're outside the city, it's up to you."
Zhang Jiao became interested. "In that case, let's just set up a shed here. Hurry up and unload the things from the cart. Let me see, where would be a good spot? Here, here!"
He opened the car door and got out, and the three people in the car also got out. They unloaded everything from the back of the car, and within a few minutes, they had set up a shed at the location he had chosen. Then they carried the strange fish inside. Of course, the three people who had been making phone calls here earlier remained outside and did not go in.
"Young Master Zhang, we'll be leaving now."
Zhang Jiao waved his hand casually, "Go on, go on. I'll remember this favor. Come find me if you need anything else."
"Then we'll remember that. Let's go."
The three quickly returned to the city and went their separate ways, seemingly only to make a profit from Zhang Jiao.
Making the youngest son of the city lord of Twin Horns owe a favor is equivalent to making a huge profit.
After they entered the city at that intersection, whether intentionally or by chance, they glanced at Lin Leyou and his group a few times.
They only glanced at it casually, and then the three of them naturally turned their eyes elsewhere and went their separate ways, not knowing where they were going.
