Chapter 165: Jinjiang First Launch
Zhao Dabao stared at Bai Mian in surprise for a while, and then burst into laughter: "Ahahahaha, where did this psychopath come from? Second brother, get her out of here!"
Zhao Erbao hesitated to take action, but looked at Bai Mian reluctantly: "Brother, you are too rude. Since she is a mental patient, you can't chase her away. Maybe she is a homeless girl with no one to rely on. In my opinion, meeting her is fate. Why don't we take her in..."
Zhao Erbao said this with a wicked smile on his face. Zhao Dabao patted him on the back of his head and said, "Hey, don't let Lao Er control your brain. We are now opening a business. What's the point of keeping a woman of unknown origin? Get out!"
Zhao Erbao had no choice but to listen to his brother and reluctantly walked towards Bai Mian. Before he could make a move on Bai Mian, Bai Mian stretched out his hand and snapped his finger at Zhao Erbao: "The man behind you is a policeman, and he is here to arrest you——"
Then, Bai Mian looked at Zhao Dabao again and snapped his finger again: "The man in front of you is not actually a human being. He is the rabbit you are going to kill tonight. It has escaped from the cage. You must catch it quickly and hand it over to the guest."
After Bai Mian finished speaking, the two men's faces changed at the same time. Zhao Erbao pushed Bai Mian away and ran away, while Zhao Dabao chased after him.
Just as Zhao Erbao was about to run out the door, Zhao Dabao grabbed his feet, forcibly brought him back into the house, and dragged him towards the chopping board.
Walking to the chopping board, Zhao Dabao picked up a kitchen knife, aimed at Zhao Erbao's head and chopped it down. Zhao Erbao hurriedly dodged and kicked Zhao Dabao hard in the stomach. Zhao Dabao leaned backward and fell onto the chopping board. The knife hanging above fell down and stabbed into Zhao Dabao's face, and several bloody holes instantly appeared on Zhao Dabao's face.
The injured Zhao Dabao was enraged. He ignored the wound on his face and stood up again to chase Zhao Erbao. Zhao Erbao had no weapon in his hand. He looked around and instantly locked onto the hot pot on the table.
Lame Brother ordered spicy rabbit meat hotpot tonight. The red bottom of the pot had already boiled and was bubbling on the table. Zhao Erbao grasped the handle of the pot, lifted it up, and splashed all the bottom of the pot onto Zhao Dabao.
Zhao Dabao let out a scream. His head and face were all covered with hot pot base, and his entire body was burned. The spicy stimulation to his injured face was simply adding to the pain. He fell to the ground and lost the ability to move for a while.
Zhao Erbao thought he had won, so he walked out of the store humming a little tune proudly. Unexpectedly, he ran into a speeding motorcycle and was knocked out. A loud crash was heard in the air.
Zhao Erbao first hit the wall and then bounced to the ground. He was twitching all over and foaming at the mouth, obviously seriously injured.
Seeing that he had lost the ability to move, Zhao Dabao took the opportunity to chase him out. He grabbed Zhao Erbao's legs with a kitchen knife and ruthlessly cut the tendons of both his feet.
Zhao Erbao was bleeding profusely. He used up the last bit of his strength, stretched out his hand to grab Zhao Dabao's eye socket, and forcibly dug one of his eyeballs out.
Zhao Dabao went berserk and chopped Zhao Erbao's testicles with a kitchen knife, killing him directly.
After witnessing all this, Bai Mian snapped her fingers lightly to release the brothers from hypnosis, then she turned and walked out of the alley.
Before entering the store, Bai Mian had covered the nearby surveillance cameras with golden talismans, so she didn't have to worry about the police coming after her. Even if the police did come to the scene to investigate, all the evidence would show that the two brothers had an internal quarrel, and it was just a dog-eat-dog fight, and it had nothing to do with other people.
This was the first time Bai Mian had used such heavy hands since she came to the mortal world. Human affairs were governed by human laws, and she shouldn't use her abilities to interfere, but the two people this time were truly too abominable.
After leaving Qingshui Town, the two brothers went to Dongzhou City and started a small business. At first they lived a stable life for a while, but soon Zhao Erbao could no longer control his lust, and they went back to their old business and began to molest strange women.
This time the two brothers changed their style of doing things. They did not dare to make a big deal. They only dared to stroll on the streets late at night and touch young women who were alone. Out of shame, many women did not dare to speak out after being harassed by them and could only swallow their anger. This further encouraged the brothers' arrogance. They did this for more than ten years, and no woman chose to call the police, so they had always been in peace.
Until last month, when the two brothers were molesting a girl, the girl actually fought back. Not only did she punch Zhao Dabao in the eye, she also shouted that she would call the police. This infuriated Zhao Dabao, and he immediately lost his mind and began to hit the girl's temple frantically with his fist. Soon the girl stopped breathing.
After discovering the person was dead, Zhao Dabao knew he was in trouble. Zhao Erbao beside him hurriedly gave him an idea. Together they moved the body and dragged it to a desolate mountain in Dongzhou City. This mountainous area is sparsely populated and wild wolves have been photographed there. Zhao Dabao abandoned the girl's body here in the hope that her body would be eaten by wild animals, thereby covering up the girl's real cause of death.
As luck would have it, on the night Zhao Dabao dumped the body, wild wolves came out to look for food. The girl's body was eaten beyond recognition, and many key pieces of evidence disappeared.
After committing the crime, the two brothers ran back to Qingshui Town overnight. They did not dare to go home and could only live in a hotel. Zhao Dabao told his mother about the situation. Mother Zhao, who had always doted on her son, chose to protect her son as usual. She took out her remaining savings, opened a restaurant for the two brothers, and let them stay in Qingshui Town to develop.
Although the two brothers had committed crimes in Qingshui Town before, so many years had passed and they thought the incident had long been forgotten. Little did they know that the victims had never forgotten what they had done.
These two people aroused the rare anger in Bai Mian's heart. Perhaps as a fairy she shouldn't do this, but she hasn't ascended to heaven yet, so let her be willful for once.
When Bai Mian walked out of the alley, she suddenly heard the pitiful barking of a dog behind her. She looked back and saw that the sound came from the brothers' restaurant. She hesitated and walked back into the store.
Bai Mian pushed open the door of the back kitchen and saw cages of all sizes all over the floor. Different animals were locked in these cages. The animals looked at her with pitiful eyes. They were kept very clean and it was obvious that they were pets carefully raised by others. The specialty of this restaurant was to eat other people's pets.
Pets represent the love and companionship of their owners; to some extent, they are their owners’ children. This restaurant has taken advantage of this and used stolen pets as a gimmick to attract cruel and bloodthirsty diners.
Bai Mian took out his mobile phone and shot a video, carefully taking pictures of each animal's face, and then posted the video online, allowing netizens to come and claim their pets.
A little white rabbit with red eyes was gnawing at the door of the cage, as if it wanted to escape. Bai Mian squatted down, touched its head, and said softly, "Be good, wait for your master to pick you up."
After hearing this, the little rabbit seemed very anxious. It moved its ears and made a heart shape to Bai Mian with its ears.
Bai Mian blinked, not sure if she had seen it wrong. As if to verify her guess, the little rabbit made a heart shape with its ears to her again.
Bai Mian was amused. She opened the cage door, gently lifted the rabbit's neck, and took out the little red-eyed rabbit. The little rabbit was very human-like. As soon as it came out, it hugged Bai Mian's arm obediently and lay in her arms like a baby.
Bai Mian pinched the little rabbit's belly. The little rabbit's fur was dense and long, and felt very good to touch. It also had a faint scent of osmanthus.
"Your master must love you very much." Bai Mian couldn't help but say.
The little rabbit seemed to understand. It moved its ears and smiled.
Bai Mian held the little rabbit in her arms, unable to bear to put it back into the cage. She looked at the moonlight and decided to take the little rabbit home and keep it for one night, and then return it to its owner when he came.
She left the food court holding the rabbit. The two brothers were still lying on the street. Their blood had dyed the road red. The golden talisman on the camera floated down gently and followed the direction of Bai Mian.
Bai Mian sent a message to Officer Xiao Chen, telling him the truth about these cases. He estimated that it wouldn't be long before the police would rush here and take the two brothers away. The lives they had taken were enough to sentence them to death. However, looking at the brothers' situation, they might not be able to survive until the verdict was handed down.
On the way home, Bai Mian told Que Ge about the progress of the matter. After a long time, Que Ge sent him a "thank you". Although these two words were simple, they carried a lot of weight.
On Lame Brother's side, Xu Hongdou, who was with him, also saw the news. Her nose felt sore and she bit Lame Brother's shoulder hard.
The heavy rain that had shrouded their youth for more than a decade finally stopped at this moment.
Bai Mian carried the rabbit back to Ci Xin Hall. The master and his wife had already gone to bed. She tiptoed up the stairs and returned to the bedroom. The system's voice rang in her ears again:
"Report to the host, you have gained 40 points of good karma today. The current good karma value is 570."
570, Bai Mian repeated this number in her heart. As long as tomorrow passed, she would gain 600 good karma points, and then she would have another breakthrough.
Ever since she got the Soul-Severing Sword, Bai Mian had a premonition in her heart - the day when she would return home was probably not far away.
In this case, we should cherish our life in the human world even more. Bai Mian put the little rabbit on his lap and fed it with vegetable leaves from the kitchen. It opened its pink little mouth, but instead of chewing the leaves, it chewed on Bai Mian's index finger.
It bit very lightly, without any force at all. Bai Miansi didn't feel any pain at all, just itchy. She smiled and took her finger out of the rabbit's mouth. But the little rabbit kept chasing after her and gently scratched her with its little claws.
Bai Mian lay on the bed, put the little rabbit next to her pillow, teased the little rabbit, and fell asleep unknowingly. This time she had the same dream again. The dream was full of osmanthus flowers, and she was standing in the cold white moonlight, holding a little rabbit with red eyes in her arms.
After she fell asleep, the rabbit beside her pillow opened its eyes in the dark, with red light shining from its eyes.
The next morning, Bai Mian got up early. Her master and his wife had not come downstairs yet, so she took the initiative to buy soy milk and fried dough sticks for everyone as breakfast.
After the video of the pets looking for their owners was released yesterday, fans liked and forwarded it, and many local people in Qingshui Town saw it. With the help of the police, most of the pets found their owners, but no one came to claim the little rabbit.
Bai Mian did not buy Que Ge's breakfast. As she expected, Que Ge did not come to the store in the morning. After everyone had breakfast, they waited until the store opened, but there was still no sign of Que Ge. Weng Xuhua was a little surprised: "Why is this kid late again? This is not like him!"
Bai Mian helped explain, "Master, don't worry. He was busy until very late last night, so he must not be able to get up this morning."
Baimian was of course referring to Cripple's revenge action last night, but the old couple misunderstood. Gao Jin and Weng Xuhua looked at each other and said cautiously, "Oh, he just met his old classmate and he was busy at night... Isn't it a bit too fast? I really don't understand you young people."
Bai Mian was amused, but she did not tell the truth and let the old couple misunderstand. What happened last night will become a secret forever.
There was a long queue outside the door. When it was time to draw the prize, Lame Brother was not there, so Bai Mian had to go and draw the prize by himself. The lottery machine drew three people as usual. These three lucky guests followed Bai Mian into the house, and the others either dispersed or stayed to watch the show.
The rabbit hadn't found its owner yet, so Bai Mian carried it downstairs and took care of it while taking its pulse.
The first person who came to visit today was a bearded man. As soon as he sat down, he asked Bai Mian a question:
"Master, do you believe there are savages in this world?"
Bai Mian had just helped the pets find their owners last night, and now the show is very popular. As soon as she started broadcasting, the live broadcast room was crowded with people, and a large screen of bullets passed by.
[Ding ding, my meal-matching magic tool is on, just in time for breakfast, yummy! ]
[Master Wuwuwu, thank you so much for helping me find my Xiaobai. If anything happened to Xiaobai, how would I live for the rest of my life?]
[Me too. Ever since Doudou was lost, my daughter has refused to eat. Fortunately, Doudou is back. Thank God! ]
[Everyone is talking about pets. Does no one care about the problem of the karma master? ]
[Ha, savages, how could there be savages in the world? Nowadays, everyone has a camera, if there really were savages, they would have been photographed long ago! ]
[Not necessarily. There are still many places in this world that have not been explored by humans. There may be wild people hiding in those places.]
[I remember hearing about a wild man in Shennongjia when I was a kid. Is this Lord of the Fate referring to that person?]
The bearded man also saw the bullet screen. He said seriously, "It's not Shennongjia, it's our local area. The wild man I'm talking about is in Qingshui Town—"
