Chapter 192: Has the organization approved your transformation into a dark side?
The fat catfish disappeared in the waves as if he had never existed.
But the extra magic power in Lina's body was clearly telling her that the devil had been there.
At this moment, Jinx shuddered suddenly in a daze, as if he had just woken up from some illusion.
"Jinx?" Lina didn't have time to think about it.
She remembered that when she was talking to Tam, Jinx had been standing there in a daze.
The demon must have also dragged Jinx into the illusion and said those bewitching words to her!
"Jinx, did you see that fat catfish again?"
Jinx rubbed his eyes and answered dazedly: "Hmm..."
"What did he tell you?" Lina was nervous.
"It's the same as before." Jinx said nonchalantly, "He said that I have already fulfilled my previous wish by taking a bath with you... ahem... so he asked me if I had any other wishes."
"I said yes." Of course she still had wishes. Human desires are endless. How could they be satisfied by just taking a bath?
"And then?" Lina was very worried.
“Then I expressed my wish.”
"And then what?" She was really afraid that Jinx would fall into the trap as well.
Jinx only replied angrily: "Then he called me a sister-loving pervert and told me to see a psychiatrist!"
Lina: “…”
Well, it looked like this crazy girl was nothing for her to worry about.
On the contrary, she, who was mentally normal, was more easily influenced by the devil.
"Lena?" Jinx saw that she was in a daze and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Lina smiled reluctantly.
Not only is it okay, but I've also made some money. I've gained some power for free.
It's just that the demon's power is like a glimmer potion.
Power comes easily, but it can be addictive if you are not careful. If you indulge in it, there is no way back.
"Are you really okay?" Jinx seemed to have noticed something.
She frowned, her big blue eyes filled with worry.
"No, I'll be fine..." Lena said comfortingly as she hugged Jinx gently.
She seemed to be comforting her sister, but also seemed to be secretly telling herself: "I will be fine, I definitely won't be."
Since Tam's goal is to make her addicted to this power and indulge in her own desires.
Then all she has to do is refuse to use this power and control her desires, won't that be enough?
Lina was thinking this, but...
"Lina, Lina..." Jinx, who was "gently" held in her arms, suddenly asked with heavy breathing, "How come you are so strong?"
"I..." Lina was stunned.
It turns out that this power has already changed her.
Now even her eyes can see farther than before, her ears can hear more clearly than before, and the strength of her limbs has become more developed than before... She has transformed from a mortal into an extraordinary being.
Even if she didn't use this power, she had already enjoyed the benefits it brought her.
And this feeling of becoming an extraordinary person is actually quite good.
"No, I can't think like that! This is the power of the devil!" She must not be intoxicated by the power of the devil, absolutely not!
No matter what happened, she couldn't use this power.
Lina woke up in shock and kept reminding herself like this.
At this time... outside the window of the hotel room, on the street near the pier, there was a lively noise:
"Murder! Murder!" A child on the roadside shouted excitedly, "Captain Planck, we caught a lot of leaders this time!"
"What?!" Lina was startled and nervously put her head close to the window.
On the street downstairs near the dock, there was indeed a group of prisoners in shackles, being paraded on the street by dozens of fierce men dressed in sea beast leather pants and fish scale vests, standard Hong Kong pirate attire.
Passersby were both respectful and fearful of them, but they also gathered on the side of the road out of curiosity to watch the excitement.
These pirates are obviously Planck's men.
And those prisoners known as "Wind Leaders"...
"These are not the people on our ship." Lina frowned in confusion.
These people are not leaders at all, so who are they?
The pirates quickly solved her confusion.
They escorted the prisoners with despair on their faces, shouting all the way to the slaughterhouse not far away, and finally stopped at the busiest place on the dock, and escorted the prisoners to the execution platform that had been prepared long ago.
It was obvious that they were here to execute the prisoners.
And these prisoners...
"These people are the leaders!" said the leading pirate leader.
He did not explain the details or list the evidence, because these things are only needed in a society ruled by law and are meaningless in Hong Kong.
Planck wanted these people dead, and that was reason enough.
"Open your eyes and watch——"
"What happens when you become a leader?"
The pirates drove all passers-by over and asked everyone to watch the execution.
They also took special care of the fishermen who worked hard on the docks: "Let me see! What will happen to those who try to fight against Master Gangplank!"
The fishermen gathered around trembling with fear, their heads lowered instinctively.
"Look up!" the pirate leader shouted coldly.
They had no choice but to look up and force themselves to open their eyes wide to look at the prisoners on the execution platform who had been tortured beyond recognition.
"There should be quite a few of these people. You all know them, right?"
The pirate leader looked down at the fishermen below the stage and shouted.
The fishermen responded with uneasy body tremors.
Of course they knew these prisoners.
Because many of the prisoners were originally fishermen.
The theory of the Wind Leader has been very popular in Bilgewater for a while, ever since someone accidentally discovered a month ago that believing in Janna could control the breeze and possess extraordinary powers.
But the enthusiasm for a period of time soon ended within a period of time.
Because Planck also realized the dangers of this theory.
He used the most extreme means to quickly wipe out all traces of the leader under his rule, whether it was objects or people.
And at this moment, these prisoners on the stage are one of the victims of this anti-Jana movement.
They had only read the Leader's pamphlet in private, and many had never even seen the Leader's promotional materials. They just didn't work hard enough and dared to talk back to the supervisor...
He was labeled as a leader and arrested by Planck's Iron Hook Gang.
"Since you know each other, it will be easy."
"Open your eyes, see clearly, and then remember, go back and tell everyone you know, and tell yourself—"
"How foolish are those who disobeyed Captain Gangplank's orders and came into contact with the evil god's teachings!"
The pirate leader said this and waved his hand to signal his subordinates:
"Well, let's get started."
"Don't be in a hurry, do it one by one, make it more artistic, and let everyone open their eyes."
"Hahahaha." The pirates responded with a sinister laugh.
They lifted up a prisoner, tied him tightly with ropes, and tied him to a wooden pole on the execution platform like a pig being slaughtered.
Then, in front of everyone...
The pirates tore off his trouser legs, picked up a sharp scalpel, and gently cut the flesh on his calves.
Then, just like butchering an ox, the knife gently cut along the fascia, and the flesh on the prisoner's leg was removed in one piece.
After the flesh was cut off, what was exposed was the white calf bone.
The pirate who performed the surgery remained calm and even looked like he was enjoying himself as he used the blade to scrape away the remaining flesh and blood from the leg bone.
And during this whole process... the prisoners were still alive.
"This, this is..." Lina, who was standing far away at the window of the hotel and looking at all this, couldn't help but turn pale.
"Bone carving. Gangplank's bone carving."
Bone carving is an art. At least, that's what Planck thought.
He liked to use the leg bones of living people as drawing boards and carve the patterns he wanted on them with a carving knife.
And what the superior likes, the subordinates will like even more.
These pirates also learned the boss's vicious tricks, and used bone carvings as the most horrific method of execution to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and intimidate the people.
"..." Seeing a living person being dissected in front of her eyes, Lina couldn't help but clench her fists in pain.
She had long heard about the ruthlessness of the Planck Group and the terror of the pirates of Port Beacon.
But hearing about it and seeing it with your own eyes give people completely different feelings.
Those people were all innocent fishermen and friends of the leader, but now they were like sea beasts waiting to be slaughtered, hung on wooden poles at the slaughterhouse dock, and their flesh and bones were cut off one by one.
If I could take action now...
"Don't look." Jinx suddenly patted her shoulder from behind.
"Nothing to see," she muttered, moving to lead Lina away from the window.
“Hmm…” Lina clenched her fists, but reluctantly let go.
Jinx is right, there is nothing to see. There is no point in watching it.
Planck was slaughtering the so-called "leaders" in Port of Piraeus. They learned this from intelligence before coming here.
Their mission this time was to visit the Baju people, nothing more.
Rescuing these prisoners was not part of their mission plan.
Because with just this group of people, they simply don't have the ability to rescue people in Planck's base camp.
“But now I have the ability…”
Outside the window, the prisoners' wails were still echoing.
Lina tried hard not to pay attention, but the power in her body still instinctively became restless.
Yes, she has power now.
She can use this power to help others and save innocent people.
"No, no... This is the power of the devil!" Lina tried to warn herself.
But what about the power of the devil?
If we can use this power for the right purpose, isn't that also contributing to justice?
Yes... I can save these people, and even defeat Gangplank, becoming a hero of Big Port and a contributor to the association.
By then...
"Wait!" Lina suddenly woke up.
Wasn't she hesitant because she couldn't bear to see these innocent workers being tortured?
Why did I start thinking about becoming a hero or a meritorious contributor?
"Asshole! You devil!" Lina raised her head and yelled at the air, "You didn't leave at all!"
"You've been hiding here the whole time, manipulating my mind!"
"Hahahaha." Tam's laughter appeared out of nowhere, as if it came from her heart.
"I didn't manipulate your mind, I just 'magnified' your desires." He emphasized the word "magnified".
Magnification means that Lina already has desire.
"Admit it, you always wanted to be a hero and a meritorious person."
"Nonsense!" Lina was angry: "I didn't come here to fight for this purpose!"
Tam did not comment.
"Okay, okay..." He said calmly, "Anyway, the power has been given to you. You can decide whether to use it or not."
"Are you going to be a hero, or are you going to stand here and watch those prisoners die?"
Lina: “…”
"I suggest you try my power." Tam enthusiastically promoted: "As long as it is for saving people, it is okay to use the power of the devil, right?"
"No!" Lina shook her head hard.
Saving lives is certainly a good thing.
But she is not just a good person or a knight, she is a leader.
A leader is an organized and disciplined team.
She just hastily agreed to the deal with Tam because she was worried about Sarah's safety. She had already done something stupid because of her personal feelings:
She is just a small technician.
Her superior Sarah was in danger, and the rescue operation should not be decided by her. Instead, the deputy captain who stayed behind on the Siren should take over command and make a formal organizational decision.
And now, her superiors did not give her the mission of rescuing people. Even if she saw her own brother being tied to the execution platform, in theory, she could not act recklessly according to her own temper.
"I've suffered a loss once, I won't make the same mistake again!" While thinking, Lina's attitude gradually became firm: "I... am the leader!"
"Devil, give up! I will never make this mistake of personal heroism again!"
Tam: "You..."
He didn't seem to have expected that this girl, who seemed to have been played around by him, could actually wake up on her own will.
That wouldn't work. If she had the power and was still so clear-headed, or even restrained herself from using it...
Isn't this power just given to her for free?
"Hey, girl!" Tam changed his tone to mocking, "So, for the sake of your shitty discipline, you can just sit back and watch these innocent fishermen die?"
"Or, in your eyes, the lives of these strangers are not as valuable as the Sarah you know?"
"I..." This trick really works.
Leaders have discipline, but they also have morals and humanity.
How could Lina pretend not to hear the screams of those innocent fishermen at this time?
Just like when she saw Sarah being whipped by the tentacles, she lost her composure in anxiety. Now her heart was also in turmoil.
"Why don't you take action?" The devil's voice sounded faintly: "The unlucky guy who was carved by the bone can't hold on any longer."
"Listen...listen carefully, his voice is almost out of strength."
There was a pause, and then...
"Shut up!" Lina shouted angrily, "I'll do it!"
"Haha." That's enough.
The organizational discipline of the leader is like a mental stamp engraved in Lina's mind.
As long as Lina is willing to continue to break discipline for personal feelings, Tam is not afraid that she will not fall and sink step by step.
"Go, go experience my power!" Tam cheered her on expectantly.
And Lina...
Lina did use her power, but it was Janna's power.
She used her divine power to summon a small blue bird.
"What are you doing?" Tam asked puzzled.
"Contact my brother... No, contact the president." Lina said seriously: "According to the rules of the Leader Association, in an emergency, the president can directly command the front-line soldiers."
"I can save people, and I can also use the power of the devil--"
"But I have to consult the organization first."
