Chapter 110 Black Magic Circle, Robot
After returning to his post, Zhang Da could not avoid being complained by a group of people. Zhang Da could only explain that he had no choice but to cooperate with the navy.
But these people were not so easy to deal with, and they kept asking for discounts.
"Ha~" Zhang Da was also surprised. He thought he was the only one who was not moved by beauty. He didn't expect these people were sober. They said they wanted to see beautiful women, but they were actually doing bad things.
Zhang Da also rolled up his sleeves and scolded with a smile: "There's no way I can get a discount on wine, but I can help if your legs are broken! Come on, let me see who needs help!"
"Oh..." There was a burst of boos in the tavern.
"Don't come here to drink next time!" someone said.
Zhang Da also responded calmly: "Okay, then remember to come next time we drink."
"no problem!"
"Tom, play another tune!"
Laughter and noise remain the main theme of the pub, and of course, occasionally people will talk about the morning news.
"Have you heard? The ship that a certain Celestial Dragon was on has lost contact!"
"Really? That's great...uh, I mean, it's so unfortunate!"
"why are you laughing?"
"No, you're mistaken. I'll buy you the drink."
"Oh, I was wrong. Cheers to this Celestial Dragon's loss of contact. Pray that he doesn't encounter a shipwreck, doesn't encounter a terrifying sea king, and doesn't encounter a crazy pirate."
Was this a prayer or a curse? Zhang Da curled his lips and muttered, "Little Blackie..."
When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the four of them gathered in the tavern and got ready to go.
"Come on, we won't be invisible this time. We've expended too much energy trying to lure Baroque and his gang into the trap. Let's all put on masks. It won't be a problem if we act at night." Zhang Da also took out four masks, or hoods, which would be fine.
Altria picked up a lion mask and couldn't let it go.
"Does Altria like lions?" Zhang Da also asked, "I saw a pair of pajamas with a little lion in the clothing store before, let's buy it next time."
"Yeah." Altria nodded, and the ahoge on her head swayed, looking very expectant.
Zhang Da also put a dog mask on Tom and said, "Tom, from now on you are a dog. Remember?"
"Woof woof!" Tom imitated the barking of a dog very well, and he could even sit on the ground and wag his tail like a dog.
Zhang Da also touched Tom's dog head, put on a monkey mask himself, and Rui Mengmeng put on a rabbit mask.
Climb over the wall in the yard and head straight to GR No. 4, the island where you had a sword fight with Hawkeye.
Spots of moonlight filtered through the branches of the tall and dense mangrove trees. The lighting effect was poor, but it was barely enough for traveling.
According to the intelligence collected in the past few days, we found the slave trading shop, but the door was closed.
In order not to make too much noise, Zhang Da also chose to squeeze Tom in through the crack of the door and let him open the door from the inside.
Paper man Tom, it’s no big deal to squeeze through the door crack.
Because it was night, most of the slaves had curled up and fallen asleep, with one or two letting out soft sobs.
First, he quietly entered the house, killed the shop owner, found the key, then confirmed the identities of the slaves one by one, released them and divided some money, and let them find a place to hide until dawn when they could leave by boat.
Tom was very familiar with this process. He consciously put on the posture of a vicious dog, and would pounce on those pirates who refused to obey him and hit them with a stick after a bark.
As for the shop, it was used by Altria to experiment with her swordsmanship and was soon reduced to ruins.
A lot of time was saved because there was no need to wait for the slaves to leave one by one at different times like during the day.
They visited all four shops on the island before returning.
However, there were too many slaves released today, so Zhang Da gave more money to the slaves who were released later and asked them to stay in the hotel street of 35GR or the large hotel area of 70-79GR for a day or two before leaving.
Anyway, these people don’t have any markings on them, so if they just wash up a little and disperse, they won’t attract attention.
The people who had been reborn naturally had no objection to the benefactor's arrangements, but they were very curious about the benefactor's identity.
“I don’t know who the benefactor who saved us is.”
"Don't think about it. The benefactor is wearing a mask because he obviously doesn't want to be exposed. Don't cause trouble for him."
"I know, but at least I hope I can meet my benefactor in the future, recognize him, and have a chance to repay him."
"Yeah, I only saw a monkey, a lion, a rabbit mask and a... dog? That's a dog, right? Why do I always think it's a cat?"
"Of course it's a dog. How can a cat bark like a dog? And the barking sound is more like a dog's than a dog's."
"That's true."
…
After working all night on the demolition work, Zhang Da quietly returned to the pub and yawned: "Good night, everyone."
"Good night."
"Goodnight, boss."
The three of them took off their masks and went upstairs. After a while, Zhang Da also came back: "Tom, it's time to sleep... What are you doing?"
Tom was still wearing a dog mask, walking back and forth in front of the pub on all fours with his tail up.
"Woof woof!" Tom barked twice and wagged his tail at Zhang Da.
Zhang Da was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry . How could he be so into the role? He pulled off Tom's mask and found that Tom was actually sticking out his tongue and breathing out.
"Okay, okay, it's over. It's time to change back." Zhang Da also rubbed Tom's face hard, worried that he would really think of himself as a dog like he did in a certain episode when he turned into a mouse.
Fortunately, Tom was immersed in the role and did not lose his memory. He recovered immediately, climbed onto Zhang Daye's shoulder and stretched.
"Let's go, it's time to sleep." It is such a wonderful thing to sleep with a cat in your arms.
On a new day, Zhang Da opened his eyes and skillfully pulled out Tom, who had been crushed into a cat pancake by him, and helped him return to his original state.
"Good morning Tom."
Tom yawned and decided that he would never sleep with his master again, squashing him every time.
Although Tom would forget about it in less than a day, he only remembered that staying with his master was more comfortable than staying in his own nest.
Many people on GR No. 4 discovered early on that several stores involved in human trafficking had problems, but they had nothing to do with most people.
Only their counterparts on other islands would probably guess whether they had offended someone, and would be happy that they had fewer competitors. However, they did not expect that they would suffer the same fate within a few days.
GR No. 2, GR No. 3, GR No. 6...
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month. During this period, every two or three days, Zhang Daye and his men would take action again, assuming that the previous group of people had left, and would sweep across the islands one by one in order of distance.
The owners of human trafficking shops also began to realize that something was wrong, as if someone was targeting their business.
Some were so frightened that they could not sleep at night, fearing that they would die in their sleep for unknown reasons. The more cowardly ones simply sold their slaves and shops at a low price and changed their careers.
Many slaves accidentally heard about this incident and their hope was rekindled, looking forward to the day when their benefactor would come to rescue them.
"These people have learned their lesson recently. Yesterday, they demolished empty stores twice, and one of them even hired guards. Although they are not strong, they are quite annoying." Zhang Da also complained while training.
"That's understandable. Our actions have indeed been more frequent recently. If we continue like this, we will attract more attention. We may also be able to figure out our pattern of action and be ambushed." Altria swung her sword lightly, and a small slash embedded into the ground.
"Why don't we stop for a while and let those people think we are coming every day to scare them." Rui Mengmeng suggested.
"Okay, and next time we can choose a target that's farther away to avoid being discovered." Zhang Da also remembered reading a mystery story somewhere, in which the detective deduced the criminal's range of activities or address based on the locations where he committed multiple crimes.
Next time, just draw lots to decide which island to go to. Zhang Da also looked at the energy in his hand and started the lottery while thinking.
The energy was reduced by 90% after a long time. The light screen in front of me shattered into black spots of light, forming a black magic circle on the ground. Black can actually glow...
The light faded, and a gentle male voice came from inside: "B series robot No. 9..."
