In the courtyard, there were 40 children with their hands and feet tied. They had obviously taken some kind of medicine and collectively fell into a deep sleep.
They were arranged in a ring, and in the center of the ring was a silver statue. On top of it was a strange statue.
The statue did not have the image of any person or monster. It was just a strange rectangular rune that looked like a key but also like a long sword. It contained an inexplicable knowledge.
A faint silver light flickered on the statue and fell on the faces of the children. It seemed to be the main cause of their sleep.
In the corner of the room, two human traffickers were talking. One of them, a one-eyed thin man with an eye patch, looked at his short companion and said,
"This statue looks good. Why waste it on a group of children? Why not give it to us?”
The short man was called Luo Hu. Although he wasn't tall, he was a ruthless person. He had forced himself to kneel and suck up to others for more than ten years. After awakening, he immediately killed the human trafficker boss who kidnapped him and took over everything. He also expanded this human trafficker gang.
Luo Hu glanced at him and said in a deep voice,"
"Old Jiu, don't have any unnecessary thoughts. We just need to deliver the goods and get the money. Although those guys look normal, I feel like they're suppressing something. They might turn into man-eating monsters at any time.”
The one-eyed man who was called Old Wine chuckled and said fawningly,""Boss, don't worry. I'm not one of those guys who seek death. These guys are all good goods. Tomorrow, we can use them to exchange for the core item of the Water Ghost Ritual. By then, Boss, you will definitely be able to dominate the underground world of Hang City.”
Hearing his subordinate's compliment, Luo Hu smiled and said proudly,""Brat, you better work hard too. When I become rich, I'll exchange Holy Water for you and those guys. Perhaps it can also help you become an Awakened.”
Old Wine nodded repeatedly, his face revealing a yearning expression. One had to know that the reason why Luo Hu could become the boss was entirely because he was an Awakened and possessed extraordinary strength.
That was an Awakened, a high and mighty Awakened!
Just as they were discussing, a faint voice sounded,"
"What kind of holy water is that? And where are those people? Can you tell me about it too…"
The sudden appearance of this voice made Luo Hu and Old Wine's expressions change drastically. They subconsciously turned their heads and saw a man wearing a hoodie and his face was covered by shadows standing behind them.
Old Wine was about to take out his pistol and shoot, but before he could do so, he felt a huge force coming from his chest. His body flew into the air, and he flew in an arc in the air before he smashed into the wall.
Bang!
Old Wine wailed as he fell from the wall to the ground. The loud noise did not wake the children up. They continued to sleep under the light of the strange statue.
"Interesting."
Lu Yu glanced at the strange statue, but he was not in a hurry to touch it. Instead, he looked at Luo Hu, who was beside him. From the conversation he had just heard, it seemed that this short man was their boss.
Luo Hu's face was dark. He looked at the mysterious person in front of him and gritted his teeth.
"Brother, we have no grudges against each other. Why are you looking for trouble with me? As for which child you want to save, just take it away. Just treat it as us making friends. Having more friends is better than having more enemies, right?”
Although Luo Hu was vicious, his brain had never been broken. Otherwise, he would not have endured for more than ten years. He could see that the person in front of him was not someone he could fight against, so he decisively admitted defeat and handed over whoever the other party wanted.
As for when the organization wanted to deliver the goods, they could only find another family and snatch a child to make up the number!
There was only hope if he was alive. He had to return the child first and remember the address where he had been kidnapped. He would take revenge when he became stronger in the future!
Ten years wasn't too late!
Lu Yu tilted his head and smiled at the nervous Luo Hu."
"Then I want you to tell me where that organization is. I can let you die a simpler death!”
This was the truth from Lu Yu. Beheading in front of him was a simple way to die. If he slowly pulled the shadow away, it would be hellish torture.
Moreover, his main purpose was to force information about the Human Eye Bandits and the Flood Dragon egg. He was just taking care of these human farts along the way.
However, the truth changed in Luo Hu's ears. Lu Yu wanted to kill him without mercy.
Since he wanted to kill him, Luo Hu naturally wouldn't sit still and wait for death. He said with a fierce gaze,"You forced me to do this!"
After saying that, his body began to swell, and water droplets began to secrete from the surface of his skin. His hair also began to grow longer, and a disgusting smell of meat soaked in water for a long time appeared on his body.
In just a few seconds, Luo Hu's height had increased to about 1.7 meters. His hair was disheveled, and his body was drenched. He emitted a foul smell as if he had just been fished out of the water. He was like a water ghost in a ghost story.
