Chapter 282: White Orchid Rain Festival (Sixty-five)
Nan Huan did not comment on this answer, but seemed to find the words of the workers' union president very interesting. She did not answer immediately, but led the two of them to continue walking forward. She stood in a familiar place for a while, trying to find something in her memory.
The Workers' President and Barbie President looked at each other, not quite understanding what the eldest lady was trying to do and why she stopped talking in the middle of her sentence.
"What are you looking for?"
The residents hiding in the houses around were ready to make a move, as if they were sure that they would rush up immediately if they made any move. The atmosphere was a bit tense, and President Barbie couldn't help but ask a question.
"I'll give you a proof." Nan Huan responded ambiguously. In the end, perhaps realizing that he couldn't find what he wanted by himself, he simply turned around and revealed some of the answers in advance, "Was it here that we met the owner of the jade and stone toys stall yesterday?"
Yesterday, there were vendors on both sides of the factory street. Nan Huan was not so sure about the distance, so he could only walk and stop, trying to find the right position. But when President Barbie heard this question, her brain was not able to react for a while, "Ah? Are you talking about the boss on the altar yesterday? But didn't he already..."
Perhaps she remembered the scene on the altar yesterday, a look of pain flashed across President Barbie's face, but she then suppressed it forcefully.
"Use the props to look for him. He's hiding in that room. Should we go visit him?"
She spoke as if she were a guest from afar, not caring at all if people in the surrounding houses heard her voice. She also spoke in a gentle tone, giving people a strange sense of politeness.
President Barbie and the Workers' President both opened their eyes wide, looked at each other, and saw the same incredible look in each other's eyes. Although they didn't understand what the eldest lady wanted to do, they were used to obeying each other's orders at the first time. President Barbie had already manipulated the prop that looked like a reconnaissance plane, approaching the houses along the street at a close distance, and observing the situation inside the house through penetrating imaging.
President Barbie's sense of distance was much better than that of the eldest lady. She quickly locked onto several houses along the street and completed the task easily in less than two minutes.
"He was the only one in the room. It was really him."
President Barbie saw with her own eyes that the boss who was eaten on the altar yesterday was standing in the room intact, staring at them with a pair of deep eyes. She couldn't believe that what the eldest lady said was true, and repeated it twice in a row, trying not to be so surprised.
"Then let's go in and have a chat. After all, we greeted each other yesterday. I like to hang out with old friends."
There was not much expression on the eldest lady's face. After President Barbie selected the house, she didn't even pause and led her men to rush in.
After all, the other party's situation is still unclear. The president of the Workers' Guild is not sure how much control they have over these residents after the Evil God and Man Wugui left. Upon hearing this, she quickly walked in front of the eldest lady in case anything unexpected happened. After all, the president is now unconscious, and they cannot take it lightly.
Nan Huan seemed to have seen through the other party's thoughts from his actions. He wanted to say something, but in the end he did not open his mouth and let the president of the workers' union stand in front of him in this protective posture.
The house was pushed open, and the people inside retreated in fear, until they reached the diagonal line of the house facing the door, trying to create as much distance between the two as possible. They were still holding a knife tremblingly in their hands, shaking violently, and the threat they posed to themselves was greater than to the three people who entered the house.
"What do you want to do? I know nothing about what happened back then, and I know nothing about it now. The grudge between you has nothing to do with me. Get out, get out..."
He was able to control his voice at first, but he became more and more guilty as he spoke, as if Nan Huan and the others were a flood of beasts that would pounce on him and tear him into pieces in the next second.
Nan Huan was not too surprised by his reaction, but when he heard those vague words from his mouth, his face turned very unhappy, but he quickly restrained himself.
However, President Barbie and President of the Workers' Association both stood in front of her, as if they were worried that the other party might do something bad to the eldest lady.
Nan Huan did not reach out to push the two apart. Instead, he put on a leisurely smile, calmly poked his head out from behind the two, and asked casually, "I just want to ask you, how do you feel about being eaten like last night after experiencing it countless times? Do you have the slightest regret in your heart?"
The tone of voice was very cold. It was obviously just a simple question, but it seemed to have crossed the long river of time and was asking questions on behalf of people who lived a hundred years ago. However, this kind of questioning was condescending, and it did not seem like simply wanting to hear some answers from the other person. Instead, it was more like a kind of torture and slow slicing, forcing the other person to recall the things he least wanted to think about.
The boss's face had turned pale because of the eldest lady's words. He was completely different from the way he looked when President Barbie saw him on Factory Street yesterday. Without Man Wugui and Xieshen, he seemed unable to pretend that everything was peaceful and tranquil. He was just a withered man.
These words seemed to hit him right in the heart, and his hands trembled even more than before, as if he had finally figured out the identity of the person in front of him from this question. He bravely took two steps forward, but his courage was only enough for the other party to take two steps forward. Then he glared at Nan Huan in a forced vicious voice, his inorganic eyes filled with deep resentment.
"You dragons have been defeated by me for so many years. Why are you still showing off at this time? Aren't you trapped here like us? Why should I regret it? It wasn't me who did it in the first place. Don't forget that we all rushed to the altar together, don't you know?"
A malicious smile appeared on his lips, as if he had thought of something. He suddenly looked at Nan Huan blankly, "Whether it is human blood or dragon blood, it is sweet. I still remember the temperature. It is actually a little higher than that of a normal person, and it is not fishy at all..."
"you……"
Even though President Barbie and President Workers had entered so many copies, they had never seen such a person. President Workers was so angry that he stepped forward and wanted to end the man's life directly, but was finally held down by President Barbie.
The two were very angry, but at the same time they remembered what the eldest lady had just said, that they should spare the other person's life, so they had to pinch their palms and force themselves to calm down.
They couldn't tell for a moment whether the evil god and Man Wugui were more hateful, as they used their power to control the residents of Bailan City and even used them to kill the saint and the Dragon God, or whether these humans were more hateful. What kind of mood did they have to be able to say without guilt after waking up that it had nothing to do with them, and even describe their encroaching mood in a teasing tone? Such people were not worthy of believing in the Dragon God at all.
And now they actually pin their hopes on these people for this mission. Is it true that the system arranges such a task just to disgust them?
Both the Workers' President and Barbie's President felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
The young lady, however, did not show any surprise or even anger at his answer and provocation. It seemed that she had expected it from the beginning. After hearing what he said, she just looked at him quietly, "You should have felt that the evil god has temporarily lost control of this place, right?"
Nan Huan stroked his chin with a thoughtful look, and walked out from behind President Barbie and President Workers. "In other words, you know that you are no longer like before, even if you have been eaten away in various ways, you are still unscathed, right?"
When she said this, a sly smile appeared on her face, and she turned her head to look at President Barbie, "Cut off one of his hands first."
These words were said casually, yet with a certain firmness.
President Barbie was stunned for only a second, and before the opponent could react, she slashed in the air with a sword. A silver light flashed, and blood gushed out.
The boss seemed to have not recovered from Nan Huan's words, and he realized that his arm was becoming numb. The dagger in his hand was still firmly grasped in the hand on the ground. Severe pain came over him, and he couldn't help but screaming, "Ah..."
The scream was so shrill that it instantly spread throughout the streets and alleys, but surprisingly, even though President Barbie had noticed someone peeking since early in the morning, no one dared to break in.
The boss struggled out of the severe pain, looking at the door with some hatred, anger flashed across his face, but he retracted his body very quickly, as if he was worried that any of his movements would make Nan Huan unhappy and chop off another of his hands.
"What?" Nan Huan looked back at the door. "You had already discussed it before I came. You wanted to deal with us together, right?"
Nan Huan smiled indifferently, looking down at the pale face, "Just like we did against the dragon clan and the saint many years ago, working together?"
These four words sounded like a joke, falling into the empty room and reaching the ears of the peeping humans outside the room.
"No, you don't have these things at all. Whether it was a hundred years ago or now, they don't dare. If someone else were here, you wouldn't dare either. Do you know why?"
Nan Huan seemed to be losing interest when he said this, and the expression on his face had completely disappeared. "Because the despicable nature in your bones will remain the same no matter how much time has passed."
"People outside, listen carefully," Nan Huan exhaled lightly, then turned and headed outside. "The evil god has left here, I'm sure you all know this a long time ago. Although I know you may not be clear about why you are here, based on my understanding of you, after you found that the evil god's control over you disappeared, and even before I came out of the High Priest's Mansion, I'm sure you have already gone to the city gate to check. This is not the real Bailan City. In other words, you are now completely trapped in the city and cannot leave, and I have become the only master here. In other words, I can easily decide the life and death of each of you without any effort."
Her voice was not loud, but Nan Huan knew that everyone outside the door could hear it.
