Not a god

Chapter 23: Repaying Complaints

Master Zhou looked panic-stricken.

Ever since he obtained this tiger-head doll, the people he took as his minions have never been able to break free from his control.

He had thought it all out. He wanted to do something new this time. He would not take that woman as his accomplice, but would deal with her man and let her man drag her into the abyss step by step.

As a result, now there is a person who can break free from his control and let the other party know that he has the means to control people.

No, the other party knows my secret, I can't let that man go. Since hair doesn't work, I'll use teeth, blood, and flesh. As long as I can control the man temporarily, I can find a place where no one knows to kill him.

"Go get him!"

He quietly gave orders to all his minions. The next second, everyone present received the order, turned around and shouted.

"Master Zhou is such a good person, how dare you hurt him?"

"Come with us to the police station. Everyone saw you beating someone up in the street!"

"Go to the police station!"

The crowd was enraged, and more than a dozen people rushed towards Chen Xi and the others like puppets on strings.

It should be said that he rushed towards Chen Yan.

Because Chen Xi had already hidden behind her.

Although this rogue god seems very unreliable, she is still a god after all, and Chen Xi doesn't believe that she is a weak woman.

Chen Yan looked at the crowd rushing towards her and kept smiling: "Boss, isn't it a bad idea to let female employees take the lead?"

"The wine money you owe me is written off."

"Okay boss!"

Chen Yan suddenly became very arrogant and rolled up his sleeves as if he was ready to work for money.

How would she handle this? Chen Xi was puzzled.

Just yesterday, Chen Xi had witnessed the incredible force of Mr. Zhao Wu, who slapped the bull-headed monster into the concrete floor with one slap. That inhuman strength gave Chen Xi a huge shock.

But he could never have imagined that the visual impact of that scene would be far less than that of the following scene.

Chen Yan had a smiling face from beginning to end, and he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Certainly--"

The woman's voice was very soft, like the floating ice of a cold drink touching the wall of the glass, or like a gust of wind fiddling with wind chimes on the beam. The crisp tinkling sound was a judgment on the whole world.

At this moment, there are waves on the river bank, flowing clouds, chasing crowds, passers-by holding up their mobile phones to take pictures, traffic lights counting down and impatient drivers, even the track of wind on the treetops, the eyes of fish jumping out of the water, the balloons that have not been caught and the crying children.

Everything is frozen in this moment.

The world has stopped.

It was as if it had turned into a painting.

The most beautiful part of the painting comes alive.

Chen Yan stretched her body and said, "This is my first time using it after my rebirth. Auntie, I'm still as good as ever!"

At this moment, Chen Xi finally understood that the so-called gods were monsters that possessed such great power.

Time stop, a word that Chen Xi is familiar with. It is a supernatural power that occasionally appears in fantasy works, and often appears together with hypnosis, perspective and the like.

It’s one thing to see it in a work of fantasy, and another to experience it in person.

"how did you do that?"

Chen Xi discovered that he could move. He walked in a still world, looking at everything that was frozen, feeling very novel.

Chen Yan trotted over, snatched the tiger-head doll from the old man's hand, and took it back like a treasure.

"Boss, this is a treasure. It's a misery-level evil thing. The old man uses this thing to control people."

Chen Xi was still shocked by the scene in front of him and couldn't help asking, "Can I learn this?"

"No need to learn. Whoever holds the evil-fate object is the owner. Boss, you can use it with this."

"No, I mean you."

"Time paused?"

"Ah."

Chen Yanshui blinked her big eyes twice: "I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."

"Does that mean I can learn it?"

Chen Yan realized that the other party really wanted to learn, so after thinking for a while, he explained to him:
"In theory, anyone can do it, but as the saying goes, everyone has their own specialty. Some people can cook delicious meals, some can sell millions of paintings at the age of three or four, some can write immortal music at the age of three or four, some can become Einstein, and some can become Beethoven.

It is the same with people of different destinies. They excel in different areas. For the same thing, I can do it easily, but others may learn it for hundreds or thousands of years but only have the basics. "

"Oh, that's a pity." Chen Xi felt quite regretful.

"Why is the boss suddenly interested in this?"

“Because it feels so great…”

Chen Xi thought of something and asked, "Time stopped, what's the principle? Does it stop all molecular motion? Then when thermal motion stops, the temperature should be at absolute zero, or is it just that our time multiplier has been sped up?"

Chen Yan opened her eyes wide, not understanding. "Boss, if you really want to learn, I can make a simplified version for you, but I have to solve it now."

"okay."

She reached out again, ready to snap her fingers.

Chen Xi couldn't help but ask: "Does the activation condition require snapping your fingers?"

"Eh? You don't have to snap your fingers, but don't you think it's more stylish this way? Does it look like Iron Man in Avengers 4?"

"..."

She said in a very artificial deep male voice: "I am...iron woman!"

With a snap of fingers, time started flowing again.

The world has a voice again.

The army of middle-aged women continued to rush forward aggressively.

Chen Xi raised his tiger-headed doll in his hand, pointed it at the old Taoist priest, and reversed the situation:

"That fake Taoist priest is a fraudster, catch him quickly."

"My doll?"

The old Taoist was startled and looked down, only to find that the tiger-head doll in his hand had disappeared into the man's hands at some point.

But this is not the point. The point is that the group of people who were about to take Chen Xi to the police station, after a brief moment of confusion, suddenly looked at him fiercely.

No, I have to run!
The thing in his hand suddenly went to someone else's hand. The old Taoist knew that he had met a master today, so he turned around and ran without hesitation.

"I was wondering why I felt something was wrong these past few days. It turns out he was a liar?"

"Luckily this handsome guy is smart and saw through you at a glance."

"He's trying to run, chase him!"

The pregnant young wife suddenly screamed and cried bitterly. Her mother-in-law also felt dizzy. Everyone felt that they had been possessed by ghosts for some time and now they were finally waking up.

"You old beast! Don't run!"

Originally, the group of middle-aged women might not be able to catch up with him, but the young lady holding the milk tea was very fierce. She threw the milk tea in her hand at the back of the old Taoist's head, ran with great vigor, and then kicked him to the ground with a Leo kick.

The girl was very angry: "You old bastard, you dare to lie to me, your sister?"

A group of people surrounded the old Taoist priest. The old Taoist priest looked extremely embarrassed at this moment. He pointed at Chen Xi with a horrified look on his face: "You, you, you..."

Chen Xi was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and pulled out a handful of his hair. The old Taoist cried out in pain and watched in panic as his hair was stuffed into the tiger-headed doll's mouth.

"no, do not want……"

Chen Xi asked directly: "How do we get rid of their control?"

The old Taoist priest, who had a hideous look on his face just now, seemed to know that he had made a mistake and answered honestly: "If we don't feed their body tissues to the tiger-headed dolls for a while, they will slowly recover."

"Go and turn yourself in. Tell the police everything you have done wrong."

"I understand." The old Taoist looked distraught.

"No, wait a minute."

Chen Xi looked at the group of women who were still under control.

Although they all looked normal and could even have normal conversations with him, he had a feeling when he held the tiger-head doll.

As long as he gave the order, they would be thrown into the river and die like dumplings with tears of gratitude even if they were asked to commit suicide.

They thought they had been tricked before, but now they have come to their senses. In fact, they were not tricked. They are still the accomplices, but the tiger behind them has changed.

For the first time, Chen Xi felt the destructive power that supernatural forces had on this society, and that ordinary people had absolutely no power to resist.

When they thought about everything that had happened during the period when they were controlled by the Taoist priest, their anger was real.

Some were cheated of their money, and some good-looking ones suffered. They were cheated of both their money and their bodies. Even if Lao Deng could find a way to return some of the money, who would compensate for the injustice they suffered?
Chen Xi couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said to everyone:
"Everyone, take him to the police station in a moment. Let the law judge any grudges. But I also know that everyone is offended. Apologizing won't work. So now, take revenge if you have grudges. Be careful not to maim or kill him... You, tell the police later that you fell down yourself."

There was no need for Chen Xi to say anything afterwards, as curses and screams echoed along the riverside. These women were quite capable fighters.

His clothes were torn and his face was covered with scratches. I didn't know whether the police would believe that he fell.

But now he is also an accomplice and will just insist that he fell down, and the police will not intervene.

As for those people who didn't understand what was going on and felt that the developments were inexplicable, Chen Xi didn't care and went back to the store with the employees.

"The boss really likes to meddle in other people's business!"

Chen Xi was stunned for a moment: "Is punishing evil and promoting good considered meddling in other people's business now?"

“That’s the social atmosphere!”

Chen Yan came over with a baby carriage: "Just like in novels nowadays, if the protagonist does a good deed without explaining what he has gained from it, he will be called a saint by the readers!"

"Mind other people's business, let's go."

The two of them carried things and pushed the cart into the store.

　I changed the cover, but there aren’t many comments. Is anyone really watching it?
