Chapter 198 Want to die? Not that easy
A puddle appeared silently at Planck's feet.
He instinctively looked down at the puddle, but he only saw his own tense and serious face in the water, and... a big tongue?
"Oops!" Planck tensed up and tried to dodge.
But it's too late.
The moment he jumped up, the huge tongue had already broken through the water and wrapped around his body as flexibly as an elephant's trunk, and finally pulled back with force, dragging him under the water.
Planck only felt that the world was changing.
While feeling dizzy, he seemed to be crossing an endless river "underwater".
When he was thrown out of the water by the giant tongue again, he realized that he was no longer on the Mingyuan.
He had been teleported to the Slaughter Docks, to the feet of Lina, Sarah, Jinx, Illaoi, and a group of unfriendly-looking Baru priests.
Planck: “…”
"Are you still running away now?" Lina asked coldly.
Planck looked gloomy and did not answer.
He just looked around at the desperate situation, and finally looked at Illaoi angrily.
Illaoi had a complicated look on her face. After all, she had a past with Gangplank. However, she finally chose to sacrifice herself for the gods.
Now as an enemy, she couldn't help but hesitate when she saw this man who was once full of vigor and vitality but now in a state of humiliation and despair.
But Planck asked, "Why? Why betray me?"
"Betrayal?" Illaoi frowned.
"We agreed to coexist peacefully." Planck said with resentment.
Illaoi sighed deeply, and a ruthless expression appeared on her face : "This is God's will."
"I have always followed the ritual. The sacrifices have never stopped," Gangplank roared.
“But you evidently have not learned your lesson. Rituals? Sacrifices? These are matters of lesser men and lesser gods. My god demands action,” Illaoi said.
"I have suffered for this city, I have bled for this city. It should belong to me!"
"Haha." A sneer interrupted him.
Sarah clenched the two guns her mother had left her, and asked through gritted teeth, "Have you suffered for this city? Have you shed blood? Is the little bit of suffering you have endured greater than the pain you have brought to this city? Is the little bit of blood you have shed greater than the blood you have caused the people of Hong Kong to shed?"
"This city never belonged to you, you just enslaved it!"
"..." Planck was silent for a while.
He looked at Sarah, the woman with whom he had a deep hatred.
Then he asked, "Who are you?"
Sarah: “…”
"Oh, I remember... Sarah Fortune." Plank said nonchalantly, "You're a new bounty hunter that has emerged in Port Beacon in recent years. I have some impression of you."
He looked at me with disdain, as if he were looking at a ball of air.
Sarah's face turned pale: "Scumbag, you don't need to know me, you just need to remember Abigail Fortune!"
"Who is that?" Planck frowned.
"Abigail Fortune! My mother!" Sarah was extremely angry.
Because this guy really forgot.
Her mother, the best weapon craftsman in Port, her beloved relative whom she missed so much, was just an ant that she had casually crushed to death many years ago in Gangplank's heart.
"Bastard!" Sarah raised her hand and fired a shot.
This shot was attached with the divine light of the Snake Mother, and its speed and destructive power were incredible.
Planck subconsciously wanted to dodge, but he was unable to do so.
The bullet blew part of his calf into pieces, causing him to fall down in a splatter of bone and gushing blood.
Sarah still didn't feel satisfied and wanted to shoot again angrily.
But Planck grunted in pain: "Wait!"
Then, in the stunned eyes of everyone, he actually endured the severe pain of his broken leg, supported his broken body with only one leg, and stood up again tremblingly.
"I am the king of Bilgewater."
"If I want to die, I'd rather die standing up. I won't fall to the ground like a coward and die at the hands of a woman's gun!"
Planck glared and roared loudly.
There is indeed a bit of kingly dominance in his every move:
"Come on! Take my head! My throne belongs to you now! Hahahaha..." Planck laughed fearlessly.
But... Sarah put down the gun instead.
She didn't shoot, but sarcastically said in her most caustic voice: "Plank, who do you think you are?"
"A man? A strong man? A hero at the end of his rope? A fallen king?"
"No, you are nothing!"
"A real man will not take pleasure in slaughtering women and children, and a truly strong man will never regard bullying the weak as glory—"
"You are not even a hero, you are just a reactionary with a bandit mentality!"
Perhaps before joining the Leader, Sarah would have been a little moved by the "heroism" shown by Planck.
But now, she just felt sick.
Planck was indeed tenacious.
And humans naturally admire strength.
Therefore, an extreme reactionary like Planck, as long as the writers use their pen and ink to polish it, it is estimated that it will not take many years...
I'm afraid everyone only remembers how brave and domineering he was, but not how reactionary he was.
No matter whether they are bandits, pirates, warlords or compradors, as long as they have some shining points like Planck, they can be whitewashed and praised.
And people always love to watch it.
Because everyone will subconsciously put themselves in Planck's shoes, rather than Sarah's parents who were killed by Planck.
So, as the saying goes, a bug like Planck who treats ordinary people as worthless things only needs to have a few virtues such as tenacity and tyranny to have admirers and followers.
This is exactly the phenomenon that Li Wei criticized at the literary and artistic symposium within the Leader.
That's why Sarah asked him disdainfully: "Planck, face the reality. You are a butcher, a bandit leader, a scum who should be forever engraved on the pillar of shame in history!"
"Do you want to die like a great man, so that those who don't know the truth in the future will praise you and worship you, and regard you as a mighty and powerful hero who was born at the wrong time?"
"No, I won't give you this chance!"
Sarah casually summoned a spiritual tentacle and swung it out like a whip.
The tentacles wrapped around Gangplank tightly and pressed his standing body back to the ground.
"Don't think you'll die so easily. Don't forget, there are more people like me who have a blood feud with you than the people of Hong Kong - we haven't settled the final score with you yet!"
Years of blood feud finally got vented at this moment. Sarah couldn't help but yelled: "I will gather all the people of Bilgewater to hold a public trial for you, expose your ugly true face to the world, and record it forever in the history books of Bilgewater!"
"You?!" Planck's cheeks trembled with anger.
"Public trial? Just those fishermen? Those weak cowards like sea cockroaches are qualified to judge me?!"
"Really?" Sarah asked coldly, "If they are not qualified, if they are so weak, why do you ban the teachings of the Wind Leaders?"
"What are you afraid of?"
When asked, Planck was speechless.
"Bah!" Sarah walked up to him and kicked away the pistol he had unconsciously let go of. "Plank, you are a coward."
…
A few hours later, when Levi finally crossed the vast ocean and flew from Zaun to Bilgewater, what he saw on the dock was the blue bird flag of the Leader.
"This..." Although he had been notified on the "phone" a long time ago, when Levi saw the changed flag of Beigang with his own eyes, he was still very shocked.
He had clearly sent Sarah and the others as diplomats to sign a non-aggression and military passage agreement with the Baru people.
Unexpectedly, they killed Gangplank and captured Bilgewater along the way.
This is such a big surprise.
But Levi couldn't think about these things now. He was more worried about the safety of his sister Lina.
Although Lina said on the "phone" that she was safe and that Tam would not hurt her at all, but... he was a demon after all.
Can we still trust the words of a person who has made a deal with the devil and whose soul has been captured by the devil?
Levi was very worried that Lina was controlled by the fat catfish, so he said casually that he was fine.
So, as soon as he arrived in Bilgewater, he went straight to find Lina.
"That's a devil of lust... Can she really fight against it?" Levi was worried all the way.
Finally, he found Lina.
Then he saw...
"Tam, give me some more strength!" Lina was pulling Tam's catfish beard, begging for something.
"At least give me the power to 'dive' directly from Bilgewater to Zaun? Otherwise, how can I get back?"
"Go back on the boat!" Tam was furious.
"No! You have to give me a little more strength."
"I also want to use the ability of 'Abyssal Voyage' to build a special channel for transporting personnel and supplies between Zaun and Bilgewater!"
"Then why don't you just build a Hextech portal!" Tam cursed.
"The Hexgate is too expensive." Lina answered confidently, "Your power doesn't cost money, so what's wrong with giving a little more?"
This logical question silenced the demon.
"Also, don't forget, I still owe you a huge debt."
"You only give me this little power. Aren't you afraid that I will die in the next battle and I won't be able to collect the debt?"
"You..." The devil looked hopeless.
He scolded, "Why are you so greedy?"
Levi: “…”
He observed carefully for a long time before he finally understood that what Lina told him on the "phone", including the sentence "that devil is easy to fool"... turned out not to be a joke.
It turned out that Janna told him that Tam was a very principled demon...and this evaluation was not an exaggeration at all.
"Are you going to give it to me or not?" At this moment, Lina actually turned around and threatened the devil:
"If you don't give me more strength, I will be the first one to go to the front line to fight against the Noxian Empire. If I die and can't repay the debt, don't blame me."
Tam: “…”
"Enough!" Levi couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"Lina, stop it." He finally stood up in Lina's surprised look.
Then, Levi looked at the River King politely again: "Mr. Tam, my sister is ignorant, please forgive me."
"Hmph..." Tam finally calmed down a little.
"Since the deal has been done, you don't need to give her any more power." Li Wei said, "We leaders are honest. Whatever conditions we agreed on beforehand, they should be the conditions."
"That's right!" That's the truth.
Brother Lina is still sensible.
As expected of the leader, his soul is pure.
The devil thought so.
Then he just heard Levi say: "If you are worried that she will die and you still can't pay the bill--"
"Why not just stay and protect her, and join us, the Leader."
