Fishermen's live stream: Twelve bodies were retrieved at the start.

[Ding-dong—Host detected encounter with illegal elements at sea, triggering the Koi Fish quest!]

[Mission Objective: Eliminate the current criminals and rescue the hostages.]

[Task Reward: 100 million RMB in cash.]

The system's mechanical sound rang out.

Lin Mo watched the "fishing boat" getting closer and closer.

I understand.

The task issued by the system happened to coincide with his previous judgment.

"Brother, look at the fishing net I just fixed. Isn't my technique getting more and more professional?"

My younger sister, Lin Siyu, rang out from behind me in a clear, cheerful voice, tinged with a hint of pride.

She was holding a bundle of newly sorted fishing nets, her forehead beaded with sweat, and her fair face flushed in the sea breeze.

Lin Mo's murderous intent vanished instantly.

He turned around, forced a smile, strode over, and without a word, took the fishing net from her hand and threw it aside.

Then, he took Lin Siyu's hand and quickly walked to a quiet corner on the ship's side.

The viewers in the live stream were immediately confused.

"What's going on? Why the sudden change in expression?"

"It was just a beautiful, sunny day, something feels off."

["My sister's expression froze too. Did they have a fight?"]

Lin Mo had no time to pay attention to the comments in the live stream.

He lowered his body and spoke very quickly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Siyu, listen to me, the situation is very dangerous."

Lin Siyu's smile froze. Looking at Lin Mo's unprecedentedly solemn expression, her heart sank.

"Brother, you...you're scaring me."

"That boat across the way isn't a fishing boat; it's a gang of vicious criminals."

Lin Mo said quickly.

"I need you to get into the cabin right now and lock the door from the inside."

"Use the ship's satellite phone to alert them and tell them our precise coordinates."

"Remember, no matter what happens outside, don't come out, understand?"

Lin Siyu's mind went blank with a buzz.

She was just an ordinary girl who lived at sea with her brother; she had never seen anything like this before.

Her lips began to tremble, and her eyes reddened.

The live stream camera happened to capture this moment, and the chat exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! Did I hear that right? Criminals?"

"Is this for real? Is this a movie shoot? A murder mystery game?"

"My little sister is almost crying from fright; her expression doesn't seem like she's acting!"

"Coordinates! Quickly write down the coordinates and call the police!"

Seeing his sister's panicked expression, Lin Mo reached out and ruffled her hair vigorously.

His palms were large and warm.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

Lin Siyu looked up and met Lin Mo's eyes.

This composure inspired her.

Lin Siyu bit her lower lip hard, forcibly holding back the tears that welled up in her eyes.

She nodded emphatically.

"Brother, you...you have to be careful!"

After saying that, she didn't hesitate any longer and turned to run towards the cabin.

Lin Mo watched her run into the cabin, and only breathed a slight sigh of relief when he heard the "click" of the door being locked from the inside.

He turned to the several crew members who were already terrified and spoke to them.

"You all go and guard the cabin door. Don't let anyone near. Protect my sister. This is a death order."

The crew members were pale, but seeing Lin Mo's calm demeanor, they seemed to have found their pillar of support and nodded repeatedly.

He grabbed a crowbar from the ship and stood guard at the cabin door.

With everything arranged, Lin Mo could finally focus without any distractions.

He slowly walked towards the front of the deck, stretching his wrists and neck as he went.

Click, click.

A series of faint cracking sounds rang out, and the long-dormant body was awakening.

His body, enhanced by the system, possessed abilities far exceeding those of ordinary people; it was more than enough to deal with these dozen or so small fry.

The only concern is that too much information cannot be revealed, otherwise it will be difficult to explain later.

As he walked to the bow of the boat, Lin Mo once again wore the simple, honest smile typical of ordinary fishermen.

He waved vigorously at the fishing boat that was getting closer and closer.

"Hey—! Hey bro over there! Is your boat broken? Need any help?"

He deliberately raised his voice, appearing enthusiastic yet somewhat foolish, in an attempt to buy some time while waiting for rescue to arrive.

On the opposite boat, a bald man with a fierce face was using binoculars to examine Lin Mo's fishing boat.

When he saw the expensive equipment on the fishing boat, a flash of greed instantly crossed his eyes.

He put down his binoculars, a cruel smile spreading across his face, and spat in Lin Mo's direction.

"help?"

"Fine, hand over your wrecked ship and everything valuable on board, and that'll count as helping you out!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he suddenly waved his hand.

"Let's do it!"

At his command, the dozen or so thugs behind him immediately pounced.

Half of them were carrying gleaming short knives, and four others even pulled out pistols from their waists!

A makeshift rope ladder was swung over and precisely hooked onto the gunwale of Lin Mo's fishing boat.

The fastest-moving assailants nimbly climbed up the rope ladder.

"Kid, you're out of luck!"

The first assailant to jump onto the deck grinned maliciously, his dagger aimed straight at Lin Mo's abdomen.

The viewers in the live stream gasped in unison.

"Watch out!!"

"We're doomed! Run!"

However, Lin Mo did not run away.

Just as the knife tip was about to touch his clothes, his body shifted slightly to the side.

He dodged the blade at just the right moment.

At the same time, he raised his right foot and kicked the other man's wrist, which was holding the knife, with precision.

"what!"

The assailant screamed in agony as his wrist throbbed, and the dagger flew from his hand.

Lin Mo gave him no chance to catch his breath.

He took a step forward and slammed his shoulder into the other person's arms.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the burly man was sent flying backward, his feet leaving the ground, and he crashed heavily onto the deck, instantly losing consciousness.

There was a strange pause of three seconds in the chat room.

Immediately afterwards, the second assailant also climbed onto the gunwale.

He witnessed his companion being killed in a single move, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.

But his hands didn't stop moving; he swung the machete and chopped it down at Lin Mo's head!

Lin Mo's eyes turned cold.

The deck space is cramped, which is exactly where he is on his home turf.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, charging forward into the flashing blade, his left hand moving with lightning speed.

He grabbed the other person's arm holding the knife and twisted it downwards!

"Snap!"

Amid the assailant's heart-wrenching screams, Lin Mo's right elbow rose and slammed into his jaw.

"Bang!"

Another muffled sound.

The second assailant didn't even utter a sound; his eyes rolled back, and his body went limp and collapsed.

Two people fell down in quick succession, and the whole process took no more than ten seconds.

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

"What...what's going on? Am I seeing things?"

"One hit, one kill! Clean and efficient! Is this some ordinary fisherman?"

"Wait...did you guys notice? His expression didn't change at all from beginning to end!"

"Wow...this isn't a fisherman, this is clearly a top soldier!"

"Holy crap, I think I've become a fan of an amazing streamer!"
