Chapter 50: Chang Street Slaughterhouse
Obviously, Lu Jinzhao’s prediction about these two people showed no deviation.
Not long after, the two found an opportunity to be alone with Bald Head for about ten minutes. When Bald Head returned with a subtle smugness, Lu Jinzhao confirmed in her heart that the matter had succeeded by about 90%.
When time passed bit by bit and Glasses Woman arranged for two people in the team to leave here, Lu Jinzhao knew the timing had arrived.
Glasses Woman arranging these two at this moment was probably to negotiate a transaction with the person whose target was Snake, but Lu Jinzhao had long planted seeds of doubt in people, and among the people Glasses Woman sent was the one she had lied and said was “Snake”.
Heaven’s timing, earth’s advantage, and human harmony all stood on her side.
This was completely different from the experiences at the platform the previous two times.
“Eh, has a fight broken out?” After a while, Wei Ling suspiciously looked toward the rear of the slaughterhouse main building.
She seemed to have heard some noise.
At first, it was just a short, heavy thud of an object hitting the ground. Less than a minute later, the sounds intensified, but their current position was not close, so they couldn’t hear clearly. There seemed to be someone’s angry roar as well.
Listening to it, a fight had indeed broken out.
“Let’s go take a look.” Excitement and curiosity showed on Wei Ling’s face. Besides her, the others present were obviously also curious about this, so the group followed the sounds toward the rear of the main building.
The slaughterhouse main building was not small, and perhaps going through it would save more time, but obviously no one was willing to do that.
When they took the detour to the rear, five or six minutes had already passed since the sounds started.
If several adults desperately tried to kill each other, ten minutes would be enough to do what and to what extent?
When Lu Jinzhao saw the scene, she understood.
Ten minutes was enough to kill a person.
The dead one was exactly the person Lu Jinzhao had framed as “Snake”.
At this moment, he lay on the ground with a broken head and blood flowing, his facial features blurred from being struck with a blunt object, and even several patches missing from his scalp, enough to show how cruel the attacker was.
Next to his corpse, the man whose target was “Snake” held a brick in his hand, his face extremely excited, panting heavily as he sat slumped on the ground staring straight at this dead person.
His hands, clothes, and even face were covered in splashed blood, his expression mad, his body trembling uncontrollably due to excessive excitement.
“Great, I don’t have to die!”
“Go die! If you die, I won’t have to die!”
And his friend, a few steps away, watched him with a horrified expression.
As for the other one, probably because he was not the “target”, he had only been beaten and had one leg broken.
The one with the broken leg saw the arriving crowd and immediately shouted loudly: “Help!”
“This person has gone mad! He’s a madman!”
“He killed someone!”
The arriving people showed various changes in expression upon hearing his shouts, but obviously, no one appeared very frightened by this.
Everyone, more or less, had some psychological expectation and knew that such a situation would occur in this platform.
Moreover, it was already a Class C train, yet reacting so exaggeratedly to one death.
It was too contrived.
However, someone still played along with his act.
Glasses Woman stepped forward with the people beside her, angrily questioning the man: “Was it you? Why did you kill my friend!”
The man was still in a state of exhaustion. He heard the questioning and just laughed loudly: “Stop pretending!”
“Don’t you all know? Today the Butcher wants Snake, and there’s no snake in this damn place!”
“He is Snake. If I don’t kill him, I’ll die!”
The woman’s complexion changed abruptly upon hearing this. She realized she had been schemed against.
The anger deliberately performed on her face became real at this moment, mixed with some regret. She didn’t explain much and just said: “So you killed someone?”
The man’s expression became comical upon hearing this. He was just about to mock when he heard the woman suddenly say: “You killed my friend. You must pay with blood for blood.”
After saying that, the man beside her immediately stepped forward, pulled out a worn butcher knife from his bosom, and fiercely stabbed it into the man’s neck.
In an instant, a large amount of blood surged out, and the man could no longer say a word.
Then, she looked at the man’s friend and said: “Are you his accomplice too?”
That companion was obviously shocked by the current scene and shook his head repeatedly: “No, no, I didn’t participate in this!”
“No, he helped! He broke my leg!”
The one lying on the ground suddenly said.
The companion’s expression suddenly turned angry: “You’re lying!”
Lu Jinzhao could tell he was genuinely angry because he had been slandered.
But that didn’t matter.
From Glasses Woman’s unhesitating act of killing the man whose target was “Snake”, Lu Jinzhao read her intentions.
She wanted to quickly clear the field.
Her own actions had disrupted her plan. The team had already lost one person due to Bald Head’s judgment, and now another had died, with yet another having a broken leg, unable to count as combat power before returning to the train.
Her team was no longer powerful. At this moment of fluctuating morale, she had to immediately use an iron fist to intimidate everyone present.
“If you don’t want to die, tell me who told you he was Snake?”
The man unhesitatingly pointed out Lu Jinzhao.
When Glasses Woman looked over in the direction of his finger, Lu Jinzhao’s expression showed no change, and Wei Ling.
—She even raised her hand and waved, saying “Hi”.
Lu Jinzhao could see Glasses Woman’s expression suddenly turn sinister, showing that Wei Ling’s skill at provoking people was indeed top-notch.
“I’ll remember you.” She said.
Then, she gave the man a look, and he immediately walked toward the dead man’s companion with the knife without hesitation.
The other party said incredulously: “I’ve already told you everything. What more do you want?!”
No one stopped him, and his words had no effect.
An unarmed person fighting a knife-wielding, burly adult—the result was self-evident.
In less than half an hour, three people had died.
Lu Jinzhao silently looked at the blood flowing all over the ground in front of her. Wei Ling reached out and touched her finger; it was a bit cold.
For some reason, she always felt that the current Lu Jinzhao was different somewhere from the Lu Jinzhao in [Loss of Control].
The Lu Jinzhao in [Loss of Control] gave her the feeling of calm, mild water, but now, the water temperature seemed to have turned cold.
“You’ll pay the price for this.” While Wei Ling was pondering, Glasses Woman helped up the broken-legged companion and said to Lu Jinzhao and Wei Ling.
She didn’t rashly act against the two, naturally realizing that these two probably had supernatural items on them.
Killing ordinary people was one thing, but passengers with supernatural items required caution.
Just like that Bald Head.
Wei Ling just made a face upon hearing this, while Lu Jinzhao, as if hearing something amusing, looked at the other with a “what are you talking about” expression and said:
“You dared to kill these two so decisively because you already know who you and the people around you need.”
“Probably among the people who exchanged information with you on the first day, right?”
“You know these two are not in your hunting range. It doesn’t matter if they die; the real lambs to be slaughtered still don’t know they’ve been targeted.”
“Not killing us now is because you’re afraid of losing combat power and having an accident when slaughtering the lambs, right?”
Upon hearing this, Glasses Woman’s expression turned ugly, and the people on the scene who had thought this disturbance had nothing to do with them also changed complexion at this moment.
