Ata thought for a moment, then used an illusion to transform himself and Xiao Yin into four or five-year-old boys.
Xiao Yin was puzzled, but Ata seemed to know a lot: "You don't understand. Based on my experience traveling through so many worlds with the boss, there must be human traffickers in this place who specialize in kidnapping children."
"The way we look now is the most attractive to human traffickers."
Little Yin praised him politely: "Brother, you're really amazing."
Atamon was right.
Two human traffickers were indeed scouting the area and quickly spotted Ata and Xiaoyin, who were without any adults with them.
A kind-looking middle-aged man squatted down and asked, "Little friends, what are you doing here?"
Ata pretended to cry: "We came to the market with Grandma, but there were so many people that we couldn't find her."
Where are your mom and dad?
“We don’t have a father or mother, only a grandmother.”
Ata thought to himself, they are innate treasures, and indeed they have no parents.
The traffickers were overjoyed; it was perfect. Children cared for only by the elderly were the easiest targets.
The traffickers were hesitating, wondering whether to drug them and take them away or lure them away with snacks.
Ata took the initiative to tug at his sleeve.
"Uncle, we're so hungry, can you take us to eat?"
"No problem, it's on me today. You can eat whatever you want."
A few hours later, the trafficker's smile grew increasingly stiff, and he even considered whether to abduct a different child.
What the hell is this kid? Has he never eaten in his eight lifetimes? He can eat way too much!
How can such a small belly hold so much stuff?
"Uncle, I want to eat this again."
"Uncle, I want this too, and that looks delicious too."
Ata and Xiao Yin ate their way from one end of the street to the other, trying all the local delicacies.
The trafficker looked at the empty wallet, gritted his teeth, and forced a smile: "Are you full?"
Ata rubbed his stomach and said, "Since Uncle is out of money, let's eat this much for today."
Human trafficker: "..."
I thank you for thinking of me.
Ata took Little Yin and got into the van with the human traffickers.
As soon as they got on the bus, the traffickers handed each of them a bottle of drink.
Ata and Xiao Yin downed their drinks in one gulp: "It's pretty good, is there any more?"
Human trafficker: "..."
What happened? Did the drug wear off?
"Wow, Lao Liu, you're something else! You managed to get two like this, and they're both so handsome. You're going to make a fortune!"
The human trafficker, Lao Liu, waved his hand and said, "Don't even mention it. I'm afraid they'll return them. These two bastards can eat too much."
"Sigh, how much can a child eat? Besides, boys need to eat a lot to grow up healthy enough to carry on the family line."
Old Liu said, "Let's get him back to the village first. If it weren't so close to the county town, someone in our village would be willing to take him. His wife gave birth to four girls, and the family is nearly driven to despair."
"Didn't we bring back a child for your cousin from another city a few years ago? I remember we snatched him from the old lady's arms."
Ata and Xiao Yin were delighted and turned to look at them together.
Ata had assumed that these human traffickers must be in contact with each other and might know which children in the neighborhood had been abducted.
Go back with them first, and then use some tricks to find Li Jiahao.
Now, by sheer chance, it came to me effortlessly.
These two people are very likely the human traffickers who snatched Li Jiahao from his grandmother's arms.
Ata thought to himself, "I'll find out soon enough."
The van drove directly into a courtyard, and Ata and Xiao Yin were carried into the house.
Old Liu, his previous amiable demeanor gone, turned fierce and said, "Behave yourselves and don't speak, or I'll cut out your tongues."
Ata took a second to think about what the boss would do if he encountered this situation.
The next second, he took out his high-quality replica of the "golden cudgel" and gently tapped Old Liu on the back of the knee.
They dared not use excessive force; they still needed to keep him for questioning.
With a snap, Old Liu knelt down, and the pig-like scream attracted another human trafficker, Old Li.
"What's wrong, Lao Liu?"
As soon as Old Li entered the door, Xiao Yin tripped him up and made him fall flat on his face. Xiao Yin stepped on his back, and Old Li was unable to turn over like a toad.
Ata put away his golden cudgel, took out a knife, and without saying a word chopped off one of their hands.
The two human traffickers are still in a daze; they actually fell into the hands of two children.
The room suddenly went dark, with only two faint green lights illuminating the small area.
Looking closer, it wasn't a little boy at all, but clearly a young boy and a little girl, their faces pale and their bodies emitting a ghostly green light.
No, this isn't even human.
The two screamed, "A ghost..."
Old Liu was horrified. No wonder he could eat so much; of course, ghosts couldn't get enough to eat.
Ata was quite satisfied with his current appearance. He said quietly, "You kidnapped children and were utterly heartless. The King of Hell sent me to take you to hell."
The two human traffickers were terrified. They didn't want to believe it, but they dared not disbelieve it either. They knew how heinous their actions were.
Old Liu knelt down and kowtowed: "I know I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again. I really have never harmed a child's life. They are all alive and well. Please forgive me this once."
Old Li gave the same explanation.
Ata said, "Where are the children you abducted now? Do you remember them?"
"I remember, I remember every single one of them."
"Where is the child you snatched from the old woman? What's his name?"
"At my cousin's house, his name is Liu Qing."
Ata took out two pills and stuffed them into the mouths of the two men: "I'll give you a chance to live because you've behaved well."
The two looked up at Ata and said eagerly, "Whatever you say, we will definitely do it."
Ata said menacingly, "Go and turn yourself in now, and tell us the whereabouts of all the abducted children and any information you have about the human traffickers. If you conceal anything, you'll be in the deepest hell."
The two hesitated for only a moment before Xiao Yin smashed their ribs with a small hammer.
"We'll go right now, we'll go right now."
Turning yourself in might mean spending your life in jail, but at least you won't die.
The two of them suddenly felt dizzy, and when they opened their eyes again, they were in front of the county police station.
A voice echoed in my mind: "I'm watching you."
The two dared not harbor any more illusions and scrambled into the police station.
"I'm a human trafficker. I've kidnapped many children. Arrest me now, and I'll confess everything."
The interrogation room lights stayed on all night. Soon, countless human traffickers will be caught, and those precious children who have been wandering outside will return to their true homes.
Xiao Yin frowned: "Brother Ata, are we just going to let them go like this?"
Ata laughed and said, "Of course not. Getting them to turn themselves in is the fastest way to find the other children and uncover the traffickers, saving us the trouble of searching everywhere one by one."
"After they finish confessing, that pill will show them what it means to have your intestines ruptured and your life worse than death."
Ata stretched and said, "Let's go find Li Jiahao and take him to Grandma's. That will be enough to repay her. We can leave the rest to the police."
