Chapter 242 We Are Not Animals
"How could this be... How could the master do such a thing..."
"I don't believe it! I don't believe that the swarm of insects was driven here by the master! You must be lying!"
"They're spreading heresy! Don't believe their lies! Kill them!"
……
Upon hearing Qin Changyi's words, the people of Mucheng were incredulous.
Some even excitedly shouted that they wanted to kill Kangcheng and his group.
“I know that you have received his kindness and are unwilling to believe that he is an evil person.”
But if you think about it carefully, why were they in such a hurry to leave?
When they left, why was only the abbot left to say goodbye?
The truth is, some of them couldn't stand the abbot's evil deeds, but they lacked the power to resist.
That's why I took advantage of the night to come out and tell you the truth.
However, the abbot stopped them, and they were brutally murdered as a result.
The traces of disturbance near the courtyard were their remains.
I guess that, to show your respect for them, you left the courtyard untouched and no one approached it after they left.
Although they do not possess superpowers, they are all third-tier evolved beings.
A body of flesh and blood is extremely attractive to evolved creatures.
Humans' sense of smell is not sensitive enough to detect it, but evolved organisms have a strong enough sense of smell.
That's why they would dig up and eat the buried remains, which is also the origin of searching for traces.
Of course, if you don't believe me, you can use the method I mentioned before.
The three people were separated and asked to recount what happened after they left Mu City.
If they match, it means you're not lying; if they don't match, then you're lying.
If they truly had nothing to hide, they would have no motive to conceal their experiences from you during this time.
But Qin Changyi was not afraid of this situation, and calmly spoke up.
He came from a criminal investigation background and was extremely skilled at reconstructing cases.
With the information provided by these three monks immediately after their capture, along with some common sense about the spiritual energy revival, it's easy to deduce what happened after the fat monk and his companions left.
Given the circumstances, they dared not lie.
"In that case, the three venerable monks, please cooperate with us!"
Seeing Qin Changyi's certainty, Liao Yongchun was already 70% convinced and then spoke.
In an instant, the monk who had been so confused about right and wrong turned pale and trembled.
The other two monks hadn't spoken to him before, so if they were asked to make up their own stories, it would be impossible for them to match his lies!
The two monks hesitated for a few seconds, exchanged a glance, and then knelt down with a thud.
"Dear fellow villagers of Mucheng, we are sorry to say that everything Director Qin said is true."
We are not living Buddhas or high monks; we are outright evil people.
The insect infestation was brought about by the abbot; we were accomplices.
"We were wrong, we were unforgivable, all for the sake of everyone's offerings!"
The two monks kowtowed to the ground with their bald heads, and one of them burst into tears.
They knew that their fellow disciple's attempt to distort the truth in order to protect himself was completely futile.
If they were just escorting Kangcheng and his group to Mucheng, this tactic might have been effective.
But now, there is a peerless tiger beside them who killed the abbot!
They were well aware of Mu Cheng's strength.
Although they discovered a way to make evolution potions, many of the surrounding evolved creatures fled due to the insect swarm.
Even with concentrated resource supply, this stage can only produce a few early-stage third-tier evolvers at most.
Even disregarding numbers and focusing solely on elite forces, the six from Kangcheng could easily dominate Mucheng like a mini-map.
Not to mention, Cangnian, this tiger, is even stronger than the fully armed abbot!
Therefore, all they can do now is to confess and receive leniency.
Upon hearing this, the monk, who had been twisting the truth, lost all hope and collapsed to the ground, looking dazed.
It’s over.
"How could this be... how could this be... how dare they do this..."
"These beasts! We were all on the right track after the earthquake, and then overnight those insects ruined everything!"
It was them who did this! They even pretended to come and save us, those bastards!
"You son of a bitch! My mother cut her thigh while fleeing from war, and died from an infection because there was no medicine. You fucking give me back my mother!"
……
Hearing the truth from the monk, the people of Mucheng finally believed it and were immediately enraged.
Many people even punched and kicked the three monks, venting their anger.
The three of them were in a sorry state amidst the crowd, but dared not fight back.
If they really fight back, they'll definitely die on the spot!
Uh...
Seeing this, Pipi, who was next to Yichen, whimpered and rubbed against Yichen's shoulder.
"Cough cough... Pipi, don't be sad, they didn't scold you, don't pay any attention to them!"
Yi Chen was slightly taken aback, then stroked Pi Pi's chin to comfort him.
Pipi is so smart now that he naturally understands why people use the word "dog" so often when they insult the monks.
What a bunch of bastards, worse than pigs and dogs, son of a bitch, what a piece of trash...
Zhizhi~!
At this moment, the little sable also noticed the interaction between Yichen and Pipi, the master and pet, so it raised its head and looked at Cangnian.
Your Majesty, isn't this also an insult directed at us?
Upon hearing the little sable's question, Cangnian thought for a while before realizing that the little guy thought the word "beast" used by the people of Mucheng was referring to him.
"Ow~!"
Cangnian shook his head solemnly, correcting the little sable's misconception.
In a narrow sense, "beast" refers to animals that can be driven by humans and bring them benefits, such as cattle and horses.
I and the little sable are wild animals, so of course we can't be considered beasts!
Zhizhi~!
Upon hearing Cangnian's explanation, the little sable chirped happily twice.
Fortunately, neither the king nor I are beasts.
Thinking of this, the little sable looked at Pipi with some pity.
Dogs and beasts are involved in every human argument, and innocent people are dragged into it. It's so tragic!
Huh~?
Pipi noticed the little sable's gaze, turned around, and looked on with a puzzled expression in her bright blue eyes.
