Chapter 283: White Orchid Rain Festival (Sixty-six)
The development of the matter to this point was completely beyond the expectations of President Barbie and the President of the Workers. After all, in their minds, if the eldest lady's previous guess was true, then how to convince the residents of Bailan City who regarded them as enemies would be the top priority.
Even though the two men anticipated that the eldest lady would not be able to remain calm due to their previous actions, they never expected that the eldest lady would say this suddenly. Instead of trying to ease the relationship between the two parties, she directly took the hatred to the extreme and attacked the boss in front of everyone.
As the eldest lady's voice fell, the whole street suddenly became completely quiet. Of course, it had been very quiet before, but in the previous silence, President Barbie and President Workers could still hear some subtle movements approaching or deliberately lowered voices, but the eldest lady's words were like a hand strangling their throats, and all the sounds disappeared in an instant, and only the heavy breathing of those people after being stimulated could be heard.
President Barbie and the President of the Workers' Association glanced briefly at the eldest lady. In fact, the latter was not cold and tyrannical at all in private, but at this moment, her aura of dominating the city was so realistic. The two did not know how much sincerity was in her words, but the terrifying atmosphere was indeed created 100%.
After saying these words, Nan Huan did not do anything else to the boss. Instead, he smiled, glanced at him, turned around and walked out.
As expected, there were already many people standing on both sides of the long street. No one noticed that she would come out at this time, especially when the boss was still alive, but they subconsciously took a step back. After all, they knew very well that what Nan Huan had just said was true.
They finally came to their senses a little. Although the evil god had left, they seemed to have lost their immortal bodies. Moreover, just when they were worried about the dangers in this strange place, Nan Huan brought people out, and they were not without good intentions, but full of malice.
Therefore, even before Nan Huan showed up, they briefly tried to use the concept of "collective" to give each other a little confidence, but they failed in the end.
But even though they knew in their hearts that what Nan Huan said was true, and they were at their wits' end, no one dared to act rashly and try to use the power of the group to challenge what Nan Huan had just said.
This was somewhat beyond Nan Huan's expectations. After all, according to her expectation, after what she did and said to the boss in the room, she would definitely be tried to be stabbed by someone with a knife when she went out. After all, even though she said such great things, the advantage in numbers still gave the other party a little hope.
But the strange thing was that those people seemed to have been controlled and tortured by the evil god for too long, so they were no longer accustomed to resisting. Or maybe because she had not yet killed them, no one dared to take the lead and use their sacrifice to exchange something for this group.
Nan Huan stood in front of the crowd and only took two glances. She roughly understood what they were thinking, but this did not prevent her from taking the next action.
"Catch everyone and take them to the courtyard where the sacrifice took place yesterday."
Her voice was not loud, or rather, since coming out of the High Priest's Mansion, except for specifically giving instructions to the President of the Workers' Association and President Barbie, Nan Huan's voice always maintained the same tone, whether she was facing one person or a group of people.
Although her two sentences were obviously directed to President Workers and President Barbie at this time, her tone was always kept at a steady pitch so that everyone present could hear it.
President Barbie and President of the Workers' Association were shocked, not because of how difficult the task was, but because they didn't understand. If the eldest lady wanted to tie up all these people from the beginning, why didn't she give the order directly in the High Priest's Mansion, but now in front of so many people.
Secondly, although the people present were all ordinary humans and no longer had the marks and aura of the evil god on them, torturing them in front of others with such brazenness was indeed not like the eldest lady's usual style.
The two looked at each other first, but did not act immediately. It was not because they deliberately did not follow the orders of the young lady, but because President Barbie and President of the Workers' Guild thought of a problem at the same time, "Young lady, why don't you go back to the High Priest's Mansion and wait. It will be a mess later, and I'm afraid you will be affected."
Nan Huan was not angry that the two of them did not take action immediately. Instead, he had anticipated this. He noticed from the corner of his eye that some of the residents had begun to touch their weapons, with a hint of cunning in their eyes.
She patted her shoulder and motioned to the two of them, "Don't worry, I'll find a high place to watch the fun later."
The Workers' President and Barbie's President were both concerned about each other, and when they saw each other's hints and heard her words, they were the first to understand.
The two no longer had any questions, and did not even question the eldest lady's intention of doing this. President Barbie never put down the sword in her hand, and in the blink of an eye, she had many more props in her hand.
At this time, the residents who were closer could no longer bear it. They couldn't understand why Nanhuan was so blatantly going to arrest them in front of everyone, and the conversation between them was not avoided at all. The luck of the group finally turned into a threat to the individual.
Therefore, those who were closest to the inner circle had already picked up their weapons first, while those outside had found a retreat route in advance and would flee immediately if the situation went wrong.
Those with those weapons would naturally attack Nanhuan first.
After facing various ferocious NPCs or players in the dungeon, although Nan Huan's offensive skills were temporarily on cooldown due to their use last night, she still dodged at the first moment, suddenly extending and retracting her wings, and knocked the opponent to the ground. Then she flapped her wings and flew into the air, watching the farce on the long street.
With the abilities of President Barbie and President Workers, it is not difficult to deal with some unarmed residents, not to mention there are various restraint props. Although those residents fought desperately to survive, the strength gap is too big and they are no match at all.
Moreover, after watching the two people's roundup operation for a while, Nan Huan soon wanted to applaud them.
President Workers and President Barbie are both very smart. They saw their attitude towards the boss before. Although they haven't fully figured out what they should do next, they have already grasped the scale.
They didn't just arrest people blindly, they also injured two people occasionally. It seemed like they were completing their orders at all costs, but at the same time they didn't seem to care much about the lives of these people.
In less than an instant, the bustling crowd, either tied up by props or having their ability to attack directly destroyed by President Barbie and President Workers, were all still in the courtyard where the sacrifice was held yesterday.
Those who ran away at the beginning were all quickly caught back. After all, the Bailan City here is a map with boundaries, and it is not difficult to find a few ordinary people with the help of props.
Perhaps at the beginning some people were not afraid of death and thought that Nanhuan wanted to arrest people. Maybe for some reason, some people who were quick-witted even tried to use their own lives to gain some capital to survive. However, because of the arrogant attitude of President Barbie and President of the Working People's Association, and the attitude that they didn't care about their life or death, those people were a little confused and did not dare to directly threaten with their own death, for fear of self-destruction.
Before noon, Nan Huan was already sitting on the altar, holding a cup of tea that the Workers' Union President had gotten from somewhere. He was looking at the dark crowd below, glaring at him, and drank two cups of tea before he spoke, "Let's get started."
She spoke like a devil, her tone neither hurried nor slow, but her smiling eyes sent a chill down the spine of everyone under the altar.
Start? Start what?
The residents of Bailan City looked up in shock, not knowing what the other party was up to. But they only looked up for a moment, then quickly lowered their heads as if they were afraid of being caught as an example.
Indeed, Nan Huan's eyes moved around them as if he was picking wild flowers on the roadside, and finally pointed at the boss in the first row who had half of his arm chopped off.
The boss' eyes suddenly widened, and then he wanted to run away in fear, but President Barbie and President Workers were guarding him on the left and right, close to the exit, and President Alice came out to watch the fun, so there was no way he could escape.
“I beg you, don’t kill me, don’t kill me, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong,” the boss saw that he was being sacrificed like a chicken, and he began to beg for mercy incoherently, “You can ask me to do anything, as long as you say that what I just said about the dragon clan was bullshit, please forgive me, forgive me…”
Half of his arm had been chopped off by the man without blinking an eye. Although he wrapped it with rags and the blood stopped seeping out, and he even felt no pain due to the burst of some hormones, he was still afraid and knelt on the ground begging for mercy, kowtowing continuously, hoping that Nan Huan would let him go.
But what he didn't know was that President Barbie had taken advantage of the chaos to inject him with medicine, ensuring that he would survive. Otherwise, the excessive blood loss alone would be enough to take his life, not to mention that no dying person could have such a loud voice as his.
But of course he didn't know all this. After all, judging from Nan Huan's current attitude, it seemed like he was going to slowly settle accounts with him. Although he was still unclear about what the other party's relationship with the Dragon Clan was, and why, after so long, he was still trying to stand up for what happened before.
"You know what?" It seemed that his voice was a little too harsh, so Nan Huan covered his ears in disgust and explained to him compassionately, "Actually, I don't care whether you know you are wrong or not. After all, people like you, oh, no, it's you, will only cry and say you are wrong when your own interests are threatened. You just want me to let you go. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you can say anything, right?"
Nan Huan's lips curled up in a sarcastic arc, "You are wrong, I am not a judge now, but an executioner."
