Last Totem Novel - Chapter 186
Chapter 186 Memorial Service
Jerome, male, twenty-seven years old, inhabitant of northern Central Continent, farming family, non-believer, traditional evolutionist, evolutionary degree 11% …
Mu Yuqinxin recalled the information she had read this morning. This deputy commander was not a resident of Silver City, nor did he have a psionic bloodline. In terms of status, he did not conflict with an insecticide. As for loyalty, as long as one’s character was decent. As the Guild Leader, it was impossible to ask every subordinate to be loyal. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be many people who could use it. As the team grew larger, it no longer relied on personal emotions, but on a reasonable distribution of benefits.
Thinking of this, Muyu Qinxin nodded at Jerome and said that she would introduce a Guild Leader to him a few days later. After receiving the reply, Jerome saluted and returned to the camp to gather his men, pack his bags, and prepare to accept the integration of Qin Assistant.
At the same time, in Tieshan Town, tens of thousands of kilometers away from them, the shopkeepers were converging on the streets and whispering to each other. It was afternoon, and the hot sun was baking the ground, and the iron and wood shop was boiling hot, and the whole street was like a steamer, so stuffy that it was hard to breathe.
However, even under such high temperatures, the little bosses were still discussing with red faces and excitement.
“Why are you here today to collect the protection fee again? Are you letting anyone live?” Restaurant owner Li Canfan shouted. His expression was like that of a wronged daughter-in-law.
“Everyone, tell me, they charge protection fees twice a month. What’s the point of that!” The owner of the cafe, Wang Bingya, echoed.
“If this continues, everyone will have no way of surviving. Everyone, come up with a plan and come up with an idea.” Shouted Bei Bei Lu, the old military doctor of Zhen Bei.
“So what? Do you want us to fight with rolling pins?” Bar owner Huang Coriander asked.
“Sigh” Bakery owner Wen Hawking and Grain Shop owner Mo Wei sighed and shook their heads at the same time.
“Giant Mulberry’s old fogey has been forced away. What else can we do?” Master Ye from the electrical appliance repair shop said.
“If Brother Tie was still here, he would definitely beat them to death!” Grocery store owner Pan Zhuo clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
‘”Yes” Everyone echoed in unison.
“Didn’t you often scold him secretly before?” Little Yue, the postman who happened to be passing by, came over and asked curiously.
“Go, go, go. What does a child know?” “Let’s go, let’s go. We haven’t even grown all our hair yet. Let’s send you a letter.” “Move aside, little brat, what are you trying to learn from adults?” “Quickly go back and drink milk.” Everyone pointed and scolded while spitting out a mouthful of saliva.
At this moment, three tall travelers wearing gray robes walked over. Everyone turned their heads and stared at the person. After stopping, the leader of the group lifted his hood and revealed a slightly plump face.
“Friends, may I ask how to get to Tieshan Town’s garrison?” The fat-faced traveler asked politely with a gentle smile.
“I don’t know.” “I’m not sure.” “Never heard of it.” “We’re all small businesses, we don’t know the officials.” “If you ask me, who should I ask?” The crowd replied in a tongue-tied manner. Their mentalities were the same. If they didn’t give money, they wouldn’t be able to ask for directions. This was the old rule of Tieshan Town.
When the fat-faced traveler saw this, his face darkened and he lifted his leg and took a heavy step forward! “Boom!” With a muffled sound, traces of cracks appeared on the stones on the ground. Seeing that it wasn’t easy to bully them, everyone hurriedly pointed in the direction of Tieshan Town’s garrison.
“Thank you.” The fat-faced traveler cupped his fists and said. Then, he covered his head and walked towards the direction everyone was pointing at. A moment later, the three of them arrived at the garrison camp. After notifying the guards, they soon saw the vice captain of the garrison, Old Di, in the office.
“My name is Porcupine. They are Matches and Tuoba San.” After confirming the other party’s identity, the porcupine cupped his fists and said.
“Is something the matter?” Old Di stroked his goatee and asked slowly. The porcupine immediately explained its purpose. The former listened and his body suddenly tilted, almost falling off the chair. After being stunned for a long time, Old Flute said with some difficulty, “This matter … should we consider it from a long-term perspective …”
“This is a letter from our Guild Leader.” As the porcupine spoke, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to the old flute.
“Be careful!”
Looking at the twisted words on the note, Old Di broke out in cold sweat. Although these words were ugly, he could tell at a glance that they were Tie Zha’s handwriting. Every stroke of the word was very forceful, and it shot out through the paper. However, it was very forceful and did not break the paper.
“Sigh” Looking at the note, Old Di sighed helplessly and said, “You guys rest for a while and have some tea. I’ll send someone to take a look at the situation.” With that, he called the guards to pour tea and left the camp.
The three of them sat down without saying a word. While waiting for the old flute, they did not make any unnecessary movements other than drinking tea.
About half an hour later, Old Di returned to his office and told them that the sheriff and Blacktooth were both in the council’s office. Then he took out paper and pens from his drawer and drew a simple sketch of the council, marking their offices, and then drew two more portraits, outlining the facial features of the sheriff and Blacktooth.
After seeing the target and location clearly, the porcupine nodded and quickly left with the two of them. Not long after, the three of them walked into the main hall on the first floor of Tieshan Town’s Autonomous Council. At this moment, everyone in the hall was busy with their own affairs.
The three of them lifted their hoods and walked up to the second floor with a calm expression. After confirming the ownership of the three offices, the porcupine pointed at the innermost door and ordered, “Match, look at Black Fang.” The tall and skinny young man nodded and walked over to the side to lean against the door frame.
“Tuoba San, do it.” The porcupine stood in front of the door in the middle and ordered expressionlessly.
“Alright.” Tuoba San nodded.
“Let’s go.” As the porcupine gave the order, both sides pushed open the door and entered at the same time.
Tuoba San rushed in first, only to see a middle-aged man and a girl wearing very heavy makeup and mini skirts sitting on the sofa in the front hall. At this moment they were hugging each other, and when they saw someone rashly barge in, they immediately parted. The middle-aged man sat up straight, frowned, and shouted, “Who are you? Do you know where this is? Do you know who I am?”
“Who are you?” Tuoba San smiled and asked.
“I am the Chief Officer of Tieshan Town’s Autonomous Society …”
Before the middle-aged man could finish his sentence, Tuoba San rushed forward, grabbed his collar and fell to the ground, then punched him down.
“Bang–Bang–Bang–Bang–Bang–”
After a few punches, the police chief of Tieshan Town’s Autonomous Society died, and his head was smashed into a pile of paste. Looking at the bloody scene, the girl couldn’t help but let out a shrill scream and ran out in horror. The porcupine, who was standing at the door, leaned slightly to the side, allowing the girl who had rushed out of the door to escape.
After killing the sheriff, the two of them arrived at the side office. At this moment, Blacktooth was sitting at his desk, while the match was standing behind him, looking like a guard. However, this guard’s duty was not to guard, but to take care of.
‘”Ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-
Just like that, Black Tooth was covered in cold sweat. He watched helplessly as the two strong men smashed his office to pieces, not even leaving a small teacup for him. Before leaving, the porcupine patted Black Tooth’s shoulder and handed him a note with a smile. Then, it left the Autonomous Council with a match and Tuoba San. The clerks stared at them dumbfounded as they walked past the hall on the first floor. During that time, they were not hindered in any way, as the guards here had been evacuated by Old Di.
Half an hour later, the three of them boarded an aircraft in the wilderness not far from Tieshan Town and left the Northern Wilderness …
Looking at the flying machine gradually disappearing from the horizon, the little bosses squeezed into the streets were discussing.
“These three people have the style of Brother Tie. They just do it without saying a word.” The grocery store owner sighed.
“Perhaps the next sheriff will be even darker.” The old driver, who was lodging at the bar, gloated and reminded.
“What do you know? It’s hard to say whether the next sheriff dares to come or not.” The restaurant owner scolded.
“Where’s your accommodation fee?” The owner of the bar asked indifferently. The old driver immediately shut his mouth and didn’t dare to speak anymore.
“Who are they?” Master Ye, who was repairing electrical appliances, asked.
“I just went to the Autonomous Society to watch. I heard from the clerks that the three of them saluted Old Man Tie’s statue when they left.” The owner of the coffee shop said.
“Really!” The bartender asked with widened eyes.
“Not only did you bow, but your expression was also very solemn.” The owner of the grain store added that he and the owner of the coffee shop had gathered a lot of gossip from the crowd.
“Do you think Brother Tie sent someone back to do it?” Zhenbei Old Military Doctor guessed.
“Impossible. He killed the nobles of Silver City. He must have been chased all over the world now.” “Perhaps your butt is smoking, how can you care about us?” “It’s hard to say, how formidable our Brother Tie is.” “That makes sense. Little Black Face still has some tricks.” “Haha, our little black face is quite formidable.” Everyone’s saliva flew into the air as they began to discuss.
As he spoke, the bakery owner suddenly remembered some possibilities. His face gradually turned pale, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. His big mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something but could not.
“Wen Hawking, what’s wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?” Zhenbei Old Military Doctor noticed the change in the bakery owner and asked with a frown.
At this time, everyone quieted down and stared at the baker. The latter opened his mouth and said in a trembling voice, “Do you think Old Man Tie has appeared?”
The bakery owner’s words were like a bomb, causing everyone’s hearts to tremble and their expressions to change drastically. The lively scene immediately froze. For a moment, it was completely silent, so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.
After a long time …
“How about we burn some paper money?” In the silence, someone suddenly suggested.
“Our tradition is not to burn paper money. Light white candles.” “Paper flowers.” “Get some weeds and set them aside.” “Our side is all wreathed.” “There are no flowers here.” “Paper flowers are also fine.” “It’s been a long time since I’ve wiped it. It’s covered in ash.” “The grocery store owner has come out with a new towel. Don’t use a rag.” “Bread, I’ll go back and make some undead cheese bread.” “Paper money, who wants to burn paper money to sign up?”
Everyone began to discuss in all directions, and the street corner returned to its usual livelines
