Pirate: I become stronger when I fish

Chapter 2 Is it a puppet?

Zheng!

A sweet sword sound suddenly sounded, and a dazzling white light suddenly appeared.

A shadow of a knife struck the statue one step ahead of Bai Litianxiang!

Gui Moyan takes action!

"court death!"

Seeing this scene, the old man's eyes flashed with horror, but more of it was disdain.

In his eyes, Gui Moyan's actions were like a fly shaking a tree!

The white knife shadow quickly collided with the statue, and a huge recoil force directly sent Baili Tianxiang flying backwards.

"No!!!"

Only then did Bai Litianxiang react, and a frightened voice suddenly came out.

While flying upside down, the scarlet color in her eyes suddenly faded away, as if it had never appeared!

boom! !

A huge noise was heard, and the white light at the statue surged, illuminating the entire hall in an instant.

Everyone couldn't help but close their eyes.

click... click...

The white light gradually dissipated, and subtle sounds echoed throughout the silent hall.

In Gui Moyan's left hand, the 'sacrifice' child brought by the old man did not move at all.

...

Just a few minutes ago, outside the building.

Zhang Jun and others encountered a situation that caught them off guard.

The townspeople they had met along the way quietly came outside the building for some unknown reason.

The overwhelming crowd surrounded Zhang Jun and others, leaving them with only one escape route that was not considered a retreat.

Because the only direction not surrounded by crowds is the direction of the building.

"What do you want to do?!"

Hill looked fierce, walked up to the crowd with his chest raised and his arms akimbo, and shouted loudly.

However, no one responded.

All the townspeople stood quietly, looking directly at Zhang Jun and his party.

The weirdest thing is that they didn't even blink!

"Hill, it seems they won't answer. I feel like they are not normal here."

Missoga leaned behind Hill and whispered, tapping his head with his fingers while speaking.

"It's not just abnormal, it's like a mindless puppet!"

Hearing this, Hill nodded, put his hands down from his waist, and whispered.

"puppet…"

After hearing Hill's words, Zhang Jun, who was frowning and thinking, had an idea flash in his mind.

"Captain...I don't think he is as simple as a puppet!"

At this time, Lan Ling, who heard Zhang Jun's whisper, came over and said.

"Do you know anything about this phenomenon?"

Zhang Jun's eyes brightened slightly and his tone rose slightly.

Immediately, everyone came over except Shirou, who was squatting on the ground playing with the Lie Bird.

"I have seen similar records in an ancient book."

Lan Ling looked around and spoke slowly.

"In the year 1430 of the Haiyuan calendar, a strange thing happened in a small village in the West Sea. The people there were all expressionless and indifferent, as if nothing could excite them!"

"Some outsiders have discovered that these people's lives are very, very regular. They can't even be described as regular! Because they fall asleep and wake up at exactly the same time!"

"Moreover, they will come to a small building in the village at a fixed time, like a pilgrimage."

"These things were later discovered from the outsider's diary, and the person who discovered the diary was surprised to find that the person who was originally an outsider actually appeared in the villagers' team!"

"But because this second outsider was very powerful, he did not become a member of the villagers. It is precisely because of this that news about this village spread like wildfire."

"Gradually, people discovered that the size of the village was quietly expanding, and the number of villagers was also increasing."

Lan Ling's ethereal voice sounded slowly, but the surrounding townspeople seemed to have never heard it, and there was no movement at all.

"It sounds a bit like the situation here!"

Ciel took hold of the little hand of little Shirou who had come over to listen to the story at some point, and murmured in a low voice while his eyes glanced around involuntarily.

"At first, people just watched the excitement, but at some point, a rumor suddenly appeared."

"The rumor is that behind the incident in this village, there is a strong man who can easily manipulate others!"

"At first glance, it seems like that, but this news has made countless powerful people take notice."

"Because having such an ability means that they will be able to easily have a huge army!"

"As things intensified, many legendary figures came to hear the news."

"After a fierce battle, this matter finally revealed its true colors!"

Lan Ling nodded and continued to speak.

"Sister Lan Ling! Keep going, keep going!"

Seeing Lan Ling pause, Xiao Shilang couldn't wait to urge him.

"you

boy! "

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jun immediately knocked Xiao Shirou's forehead angrily.

Everyone smiled slightly, but they all focused on Lan Ling.

"It turns out that there is indeed a mastermind behind the scenes. That person is the owner of a very rare devil fruit! That devil fruit can make the owner create some small bugs."

"Anyone whose body is entered by these bugs will become the state mentioned above! Moreover, when the bugs enter the human body, they will symbiotically exist with the host, and there is absolutely no possibility of removal!"

"However, it is a pity that those controlled by bugs become pure walking zombies and can only accept some very simple orders from the creator."

"It's like smiling and walking. It's precisely because he has no fighting power at all that the big shots quickly look away."

Lan Ling also smiled slightly and continued to speak.

"Is this the kind of fruit here? No...you just said it's not that simple?"

After listening to Lan Ling's story, Zhang Jun was stunned at first but then quickly frowned slightly and spoke.

"Yes! It's not that simple!"

"You will know after I test it!"

Lan Ling nodded, and then walked slowly towards the townspeople.

"orchid"

Just when Hill wanted to stop Lan Ling's dangerous move, Zhang Jun shook his head and stopped him.

It's not that Zhang Jun isn't worried about Lan Ling, he just trusts her very much!

Lan Ling naturally discovered this scene, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and in an instant, his eyes became firm.

She raised her hand and waved slightly.

I saw one of the townspeople rising into the sky.

But this scene did not alarm any other townspeople!

Then, Lan Ling clenched her palms slightly.

boom!

In mid-air, the townspeople suddenly exploded in all directions!

"This…"

Everyone looked at each other. Although they knew that these people would almost always be in this state, they were still slightly resistant to ending their lives easily.

"Lan Ling!"

At this moment, Zhang Jun noticed something and rushed towards Lan Ling with a loud roar.

Lan Ling's body suddenly collapsed and fell into Zhang Jun's arms.

"Sister Lan Ling!"

"Who?! Who?!"

"what happened?!"

Everyone suddenly panicked and spoke.

Lan Ling, who was lying in Zhang Jun's arms, had his eyes closed tightly and bleeding from all his orifices!
