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

Lin Mo frowned slightly.

I briefly considered for a second whether or not to pretend to be scared.

But looking at the struggling ghost octopus on the monitor, he felt that packing it up would be too much trouble.

The crisis isn't completely over yet; there's no time for that kind of nonsense.

He completely ignored Lin Siyu's hints and brought his face closer to the camera.

His expression was extremely serious.

"Please don't misunderstand."

"This ghost octopus is too large and is seriously obstructing the normal passage of this waterway."

"It not only attacked my ship, but also delayed my voyage."

"Time is money."

"To compensate for my emotional distress and fuel consumption, it's perfectly reasonable for me to capture it, isn't it?"

The live stream room fell into an eerie silence.

A few seconds later, a line of text floated by in the live chat.

"He even wanted to sue the sea monster for emotional distress..."

"It makes perfect sense, absolutely perfect sense."

"Ghost Octopus: I was just passing by, and you call that obstructing traffic?"

Lin Siyu covered her face in anguish.

That's it, this is completely inexplicable now.

Lin Mo looked at the dense barrage of comments on the screen.

The reason of "compensation for emotional distress" does not seem to be perfect.

He cleared his throat.

"Actually, this is just the surface reason."

Lin Mo spoke to the camera with a calm and composed tone, as if he were giving a press briefing.

"Everyone, think about it carefully."

"This giant ghost octopus is so huge, and it's roaming near the main channel."

"I'm the one who ran into them today. My boat is sturdy enough to handle it."

"But what if tomorrow, it's just an ordinary ocean-going fishing boat passing by?"

"What if it were a cruise ship full of passengers?"

Lin Mo paused for a moment, then looked directly at the camera.

"Those crew members on the boats, those ordinary fishermen, they have elderly parents and young children to support."

"How many people could survive an encounter with a deep-sea monster of this magnitude?"

"Since I have the ability to subdue it, why should I let it go just to save trouble?"

"If I ever hear of a ship encountering distress here again, I will never be able to live with myself for the rest of my life."

He tilted his head slightly, the cold blue light from the control room illuminating his angular profile.

With great power comes great responsibility.

"I just did what I was supposed to do."

"To eliminate a deadly threat to this sea area and to all those who make a living at sea."

"Ensuring everyone's safety during navigation is my duty."

The moment these words were spoken, the entire live stream room fell silent.

The audience, who were just moments ago furiously criticizing the "cross-border hunting" act, were all stunned by this righteous and awe-inspiring speech.

A few seconds later, the barrage of comments swept across the screen like a volcanic eruption.

"I'm so moved, guys! This streamer has such a big heart!"

"I apologize for my shallowness just now. The anchor is truly doing a service to the people!"

"This makes my blood boil! This is the true spirit of us Chinese seafarers!"

"With great power comes great responsibility—that's so true! I'm a fan now!"

"As a citizen of China, I am truly proud!"

At this point, the number of viewers in the live stream had surged exponentially.

It directly broke through the 100 million mark.

Countless overseas viewers also flooded into the live stream, and were all stunned as they watched the automatically translated subtitles on the screen.

The overseas fishing community was in an uproar.

Everyone on major forums is frantically asking about it.

"My God! Who is that Chinese man piloting that hardcore fishing boat?"

"He actually went to hunt down a deep-sea monster? That's insane!"

Lin Siyu stood to the side, listening to her brother's impeccable speech, her lips twitching uncontrollably.

She knows Lin Mo too well.

With great power comes great responsibility.

This person was simply after the value of this ghost octopus!

But seeing the screen full of "tribute" and "tears in my eyes" in the live stream, she swallowed back her complaints.

Okay, you're handsome, so whatever you say is right.

Lin Mo completely ignored the overwhelming praise in the comments section.

He turned around, his gaze refocusing on the radar screen of the main control panel.

On the screen, the green halos representing two giant fishing nets are slowly merging.

"Close the net."

Lin Mo quickly operated the control panel with both hands.

The instruction has been issued.

The heavy mechanical arms on both sides of the hull emitted a deep rumble.

Beneath the surface, two sets of specially made steel wire fishing nets began to tighten towards the center, leaving no blind spots.

The giant ghost octopus finally sensed the deadly approach.

It frantically waved its thick tentacles, trying to find a way to break through underwater.

But in all directions, it was completely sealed off by cold, hard alloy steel wires.

The new material is a brand-new high-strength alloy mesh.

The retreat is an incredibly sturdy old net.

There was absolutely no way to escape.

In the underwater monitoring footage, this once arrogant deep-sea creature has been completely enveloped into a giant sphere.

It struggled and thrashed wildly inside the net.

The enormous suction cups clung tightly to the steel wire, attempting to tear a gash with terrifying brute force.

The seawater was stirred up and became extremely turbid.

But that's a specially made high-strength alloy steel wire mesh.

It wasn't even torn open, let alone deformed.

No matter how much it rolled and bit, all its struggles seemed so futile.

Instead, it caused the fishing net to tighten even more.

Lin Mo stared blankly at the surveillance footage.

He reached out and grasped the heavy lifting lever on the main control panel.

"rise."

He slammed the lever all the way down.

The entire ship shuddered slightly.

The giant winch below the deck began to spin wildly.

The thick steel cable taut instantly, emitting a sickening metallic scraping sound.

The sea surface instantly boiled.

With a loud "splash," a colossal creature burst out of the water.

The giant ghost octopus was dragged out of the sea along with the net.

The moment it was separated from the seawater, this deep-sea overlord instantly lost its greatest advantage.

Without the buoyancy of water, its own terrifying weight becomes its most fatal burden.

The body, weighing tens of tons, was tightly caught in the net and suspended in mid-air.

Those tentacles, powerful enough to crush small boats, could only droop helplessly at this moment.

It wriggled desperately and comically in mid-air.

No matter how powerful you are, you're useless in mid-air where there's no foothold.

Lin Siyu stood at the edge of the deck, her mouth agape, wide enough to fit a duck egg.

She witnessed this breathtaking scene firsthand.

That deep-sea monster, as big as a small mountain, was steadily suspended in mid-air.

Seawater cascaded down the fishing nets and tentacles, like a torrential downpour falling on the deck.

A salty sea breeze swept over me.

The live-streaming phone in her hand faithfully transmitted this visually stunning scene to hundreds of millions of viewers around the world.

There was a gap of more than ten seconds in the live stream chat.

Everyone was stunned.

By the time they realized what was happening, the live chat was so choppy it caused frame drops.

"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!!! They really hung him up?!"

"Is this a fishing net? Have you ever seen a fishing net that could wrap up a sea monster weighing tens of tons like a dumpling?"

"To be honest, this is definitely a specially made intelligent retractable net! It can automatically retract according to the size of the prey!"

"The cost of this thing is absolutely astronomical! And the matching fishing equipment is even rarer!"

"Is the net the main point? The main point is that lifting equipment, okay?"

"Even if a regular civilian boat had this net, it would have been capsized the moment it was lifted!"

"The ship's ballast and propulsion system are simply monstrous!"

"What's the streamer's background? Are they out fishing in a Star Destroyer?"

"This skill is incredible! I'm watching the live stream on my knees!"
