So, Yingyu became the most miserable worker. Working to earn money to buy his life was even worse than signing a contract to sell himself! In the end, he could only comfort himself that it was better than having money but no life to spend it! By comforting himself in this way, he gradually accepted the fact that he had to work for Murong An to pay for his life. At worst, he could take the opportunity to find another chance to escape!
As if he saw through Yingyu's little thoughts, Murong An flicked his finger and a small red spider lily mark was engraved on his wrist.
"I'll stamp yours. I saw on TV that when pigs are sold, they need to be stamped and marked. I'll stamp yours too."
Yingyu: What the hell is stamping a pig?! Are you calling him a pig? Is this intentional?!
He looked constipated. Although he wanted to protest, he had to hold back the words. His life was in the hands of others. There was nothing he could do. He had to hold back his opinions.
"Let's go. Since you can accept the mission from them, you must have your own information channels. Let's go find out where the boss of the park has escaped to."
When Yingyu took Murong An to Sucheng's dark web to gather information, in Xiaojia Village, the village chief and the security team had already captured the bearded man's companions and tied them all up in the square.
"Crash~"
A bucket of cold water was poured on the two unconscious bearded men. They slowly woke up. The village chief knocked on the ground with his cane and angrily asked:
"Tell me, who are you? What are you doing in our village?!"
Before the bearded man could fully regain consciousness, he heard his companions shouting:
"Why are you arresting us?! You are illegally detaining us!"
"That's right! Why are you arresting us?!"
"Let us go!"
The inspector lady standing in the back watching the show couldn't stand it any longer. She rolled up her sleeves and started yelling, "Why are we arresting you? Don't you have any sense? You came to my house to steal things, and we can't arrest you?! We're being kind by not beating you to death!"
"Who said we were going to steal? We came to your village to travel, experience farm life, and hang out near your house. How can that be considered stealing? You're slandering me!"
A thin young man who was tied up and had a very eloquent tongue shouted loudly.
The inspector was so angry at this: "You wandered into someone else's house and yard? Who knows what evil intentions you have? And these two people even ran into someone's yard and threatened them!"
As the inspector said this, she kicked the bearded man in the thigh.
Mother Xiao also hurriedly added: "That's right, he even threatened me with a knife. Look, this knife! How can you carry a knife into someone else's house? If my cat hadn't been so powerful and knocked him down, who knows what bad things he would have done! It scared me! And that bearded man actually sneaked into my backyard and stole chickens! He's a thief!"
Mother Xiao was shaking with anger, and she kept stroking the calico cat in her arms to calm herself down. Father Xiao patted Mother Xiao's back to comfort her while shouting, "Call the police, you must call the police!"
The bearded man was completely sober. He knew something was wrong, so he could only plead for peace in a tactful way. "We really didn't mean any harm. It was just the first time I saw such a large rooster. I was curious and wanted to get a closer look. As a result, I accidentally fell off the wall! That's how I ended up in your chicken coop. I can compensate you for your losses, or I can buy your chickens. Sister, this is all a misunderstanding. Please let us go!"
Mother Xiao was furious: "You still want to buy my chicken, bah!"
"Knock, knock, knock!" the village chief knocked his cane a few times and said, "Don't bother to quibble. We've had people following you since you entered the village. Tell me, what exactly are you looking for in our village?"
The bearded man was startled. He glanced at the younger brother for a few seconds before forcing a smile and saying, "Sir, this is all a misunderstanding. We are just here for tourism. We really don't have any other purpose!"
Seeing this, the village chief stopped talking and said directly to my uncle, "I leave it to you. You must find out the real purpose of their coming to our village!"
"Okay, this is easy!" Grandpa Uncle squeezed forward from behind, took out a truth talisman from his pocket, and stuck it on the bearded man's head with a "snap", and asked:
"What on earth are you doing in our village?"
"Find a monk or an animal that has awakened its mind." The moment the bearded man put the talisman on, his eyes became blank and dull. He answered whatever the village chief asked, and the younger brothers who were also tied up behind him were so anxious that they kept shouting at him.
The village chief signaled the guards to shut up the others to avoid disturbing them.
"Why are you looking for enlightened monks and animals?"
"In order to make money, the price of spirit cores is now high. Spirit cores are produced in the bodies of cultivators and animals that have already awakened, and they can be sold at a high price."
Upon hearing this, everyone in Xiaojia Village was shocked! They had originally thought that they were just a few thieves, but they had never expected that they were such vicious human traffickers!
"Quiet!" The village chief knocked his cane a few more times, signaling everyone to be quiet and not interfere with the interrogation.
"How did you know there was an enlightened monk in our village? Is there anyone else with you?"
"We are responsible for finding goods in the countryside. We go from village to village and look for those cultivators who are alone or have just entered the state of enlightenment. There are only a few of us coming to Xiaojia Village this time." The bearded man was stunned and answered every question.
"How many people have you captured? To whom are the captured people and animals handed over?"
"We only captured two people in the previous villages and have already handed them over to Luo Laohu's men."
The village chief frowned. He'd seen the news about the Sucheng fraud and trafficking ring being busted, but he hadn't expected traffickers from his village to come in. Could it be that Sucheng hadn't caught them all? It looked like this was beyond their ability to handle. He gestured for Master Li to call the Sucheng security team.
"Remember to make a backup copy of the recording and give it to the people in Sucheng when the time comes." The village chief instructed again. After that, he turned and left. After taking two steps, he suddenly thought of something and turned back to ask:
"Why not just kill the person and dig out the spirit core, instead of kidnapping him? A living person is a bigger target than a tiny spirit core!"
Everyone was startled by the village chief's question, but after thinking about it, they realized that this was indeed the truth. If they wanted to sell the spirit core, they could just dig it up! Why bother kidnapping people?
"Once someone dies, they can't transform into a contaminated species. Dark cores are more expensive than spirit cores! And if too many people die, it's easy to make things worse. If only a few people go missing every day, basically no one will pay attention."
After the bearded man finished speaking, the entire square fell silent.
This person is simply an outlaw, morally corrupt and heartless!
Mother Xiao shuddered, her heart suddenly tightened. No, she had to call Xiaobai and Xiaoan!
