Chapter 159 Vegetable Market
As night fell in Egg City, the stoves were dim, casting a faint light.
In the slums of the west district of Egg City, people who had toiled all day fell into a deep sleep. From time to time, one could hear a few babies crying, and then the sound of women getting up to coax their children to sleep could be heard.
A man in a well-fitting black suit was walking alone in the neighborhood.
He looked dignified, with silk gloves on his hands and a white gauze scarf tied across his chest. His every move was out of place in this dirty and messy neighborhood.
He paced slowly here, occasionally looking at the sleeping houses, sometimes shaking his head, and sometimes his eyes showed a kind of appreciation, like a diner shopping in the vegetable market and carefully selecting ingredients.
Finally, after going back and forth several times, he stopped in front of a house.
The house had been marked by him long ago, and he knew the people living in it very well.
There lived a family of three inside. The child was very smart, with two big eyes with distinct black and white. He was deeply impressed when he first saw the child.
“It must be...delicious!”
The man was a gourmet. He licked his tongue, took out a thin newspaper from his pocket, and walked into the house.
The door was locked, but the man pried it open easily using a thin piece of wire. Judging from his actions, he was a habitual criminal.
The man entered the house without any scruples. He neither intentionally lowered his voice nor made excessively loud noises. He just walked into the house as usual.
At this time, everyone in the house seemed to be asleep. The snoring of the three people could be vaguely heard. The man snored loudly, the woman's breathing was relatively gentle, and the child rolled back and forth on the bed, not sleeping well.
The man walked all the way to the big bed where the three people were sleeping without any hindrance.
Today, I will eat you!
The man's eyes lingered on the child, especially on his head.
The man couldn't help but secrete more saliva from his mouth. He was already hungry just by seeing this small head.
He folded the newspaper elegantly and held it in his hand, slowly approaching the sleeping man.
The first person to be killed must be a man.
It's so delicious, will it be steamed or something else? This was all the man was thinking about at the moment, and he didn't anticipate the danger that was about to come.
In the man's shocked eyes, the man who should have been fast asleep on the bed suddenly jumped up and grabbed his wrist.
Suddenly, he felt his wrist was clamped tightly like an iron clamp, and the bones in his wrist were crushed in an instant.
Suddenly, a layer of cold sweat appeared on the man's forehead, and he grimaced in pain.
The man sleeping soundly on the bed was Mo Ying.
Mo Ying opened his two round eyes wide and grinned, revealing his white teeth. In the dim light, he looked like a demon from hell.
"what!!!"
The gourmet couldn't bear it anymore and let out a cry of pain.
A figure suddenly appeared behind him, and that person struck him on the back of the neck with a powerful knife.
The gourmet's body suddenly fell limply to the ground.
The figure was Qin Yangming. After exchanging a glance with Mo Ying on the bed, he swiftly put the gourmet into a sack and took it back.
……
Black Mountain on the edge of Egg City, where Dawn resides.
Shuguang looked at the gourmet who was tied up, and after listening to Qin Yangming's entire plan, his eyes showed a thoughtful look.
"The plan is generally feasible, but you will need two [stand-ins] if you do this."
Qin Yangming understood that one [stand-in] had to become the police chief, and the other [stand-in] had to become this [gourmet].
Two fake people, performing a real play.
Dawn said:
"I see. I'll call Liu over right away."
"Let Liu become the substitute for this gourmet."
“Let her sneak into the West End as a foodie.”
Afterwards, Qin Yangming finalized some details with Shuguang and decided to execute it immediately.
……
On this day, at the busiest market in the Egg City slums, everyone saw that the Egg City Police Chief actually escorted a prisoner here in person.
Qin Yangming and others mixed in the crowd, paying attention to the movements around them.
Su Mengyuan, disguised as the police chief, looked righteous, and was parading through the crowded streets with his subordinate Liu, disguised as an ogre.
"Everyone be quiet and listen to me!"
"The Chief of Police" shouted at the top of his voice in the crowd, and the place suddenly became quiet.
"My fellow countrymen, today we caught the serial killer who caused such a bloody storm in Egg City!"
There was a loud noise.
The “Police Chief” shouted again:
"And this serial killer is actually a cannibal. His purpose in killing people is to eat them!"
Immediately, after a brief silence, the frightened crowd began to throw vegetable leaves, rotten eggs, and anything else that could be thrown, like raining down on the head of the "gourmet".
"boom!"
I don't know who it was, but someone threw a fist-sized stone and smashed the "serial killer's" head, causing blood to gush out.
"willow!"
Xi, who was mixed in the crowd, shouted anxiously, but he immediately gritted his teeth and stood still.
The "Police Chief" blocked the debris that was thrown at him and shouted:
"Everyone calm down! Everyone calm down!"
"I brought him here today just to execute him in front of everyone!"
No one had expected that justice could be served in Egg City. This scene was too incredible for them.
If it were any normal situation, let alone bringing the bad guys to justice, they would think it was a great favor even if those people bullied them less!
Gradually, some people began to cheer, some began to applaud, and the atmosphere was very lively.
The members of the Dawn Organization who were mixed in with them began to shout according to the agreed plan:
"Kill him! Give everyone fairness!"
"Justice never fails!"
“That’s how it should be!”
As soon as these words were shouted out, they instantly ignited the hearts of these people who had been oppressed for so long. Everyone's face turned red and they raised their fists and shouted vigorously.
At this time, Qin Yangming noticed that several sequencers with unfriendly faces came here.
Along with them came those from the Egg City Police Department.
When the people in the police station saw that the "police chief" actually behaved like this, they all thought that the chief had smoked too much drugs and had become mentally ill.
"Boss! What are you doing?!"
"Come down quickly, head!"
"Aren't you afraid of being killed?"
The police officer shouted at the chief who was standing on the cart.
But how could Su Mengyuan, disguised as the "police chief", care about these people?
Then, the Sequencers began to take action.
A Sequencer in the crowd suddenly pulled out a pistol from his arms and fired a shot into the sky.
The gunshot immediately frightened everyone. Everyone seemed to come to their senses and wondered if they had been too complacent just now.
In Egg City, people like me deserve to be killed, oppressed, and bullied...
"What the hell are you yelling about?!"
The man yelled, and he shouted angrily at the "Police Chief" standing on the flatbed truck:
"Get down here quickly, and I'll spare your life!"
"Can you judge him?"
"Who the hell are you?! You're nothing more than a puppet to fool these fools!"
The crowd became even quieter, their inherent servility forcing them to submit.
At this time, Qin Yangming found a position closer to the center of the crowd. A circle of red halo quietly began to spread from his body, impacting the space like water ripples.
Intensify the anger of everyone around and inspire everyone's will to resist!
