Only I Have the Law: A Realistic Cultivation Game

Chapter 105 Brother, you are still young, you must not go down the path of crime (Please subscribe)

Inside Lianrong Park.

Zhou Wenbin was completely bewildered.

The viewers in the live stream couldn't see the fishing line clearly, but he could see it perfectly.

However, he also couldn't understand how the harpoon suddenly turned.

It not only circled the silver-ringed snake rapidly, but it even tied a knot!

This doesn't make sense!

But none of that matters anymore.

All he knew was that the plan had failed.

Mr. Zhou also called, telling him to leave immediately.

But as soon as he hung up the phone, he saw Xu Zhiyi staring straight at him.

Feeling guilty, Zhou Wenbin subconsciously took a step back, forcing a smile. "Well—my girlfriend called and asked me to go back—sorry, I have to go now—"

"Don't rush off, I still have some questions for you."

Xu Zhiyi's smile remained gentle, but her tone left no room for doubt.

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. My girlfriend has a terrible temper and I have to be available whenever she calls, otherwise I'll be in big trouble. — If there's any problem, let's contact her by phone."

As Zhou Wenbin spoke, he turned to leave.

"No matter how anxious you are, you have to wait until I catch this snake, right?"

"Okay then."

Hearing Xu Zhiyi say this, Zhou Wenbin couldn't just turn around and leave.

After all, that would be too deliberate.

Even now, he still feels that he has not been exposed.

Xu Zhiyi had already put away her slingshot, picked up the snake-catching tongs and net from the ground, walked to the rockery, clamped the silver-ringed snake, put it into a special snake containment bag, and then tightened the bag.

At the same time, a notification pops up in the lower left corner of the view:

[Congratulations to the player for successfully suppressing the demon vanguard x1]

[Experience points +100]

[Current Mission Progress: Demon Vanguard (1/20)]

Current experience points: Lv.7 (3930/7000)

Sure enough, capturing them alive is the same as suppressing them!

Xu Zhiyi felt much more at ease.

He turned his head to look at Zhou Wenbin, his face still bearing that harmless smile.

"Now, can we talk?"

Zhou Wenbin felt uneasy under his gaze, but still forced a smile and said, "Brother Butcher, can't we talk about this tomorrow? My girlfriend is really pressuring me—"

"Your girlfriend?"

Xu Zhiyi smiled and suddenly reached out and took off the "button" on his shirt.

"You mean this?"

Zhou Wenbin's expression changed instantly. He subconsciously reached out to snatch it, but when he met Xu Zhiyi's ambiguous smile, he awkwardly withdrew his hand and stammered.

"This is—this is—"

"Stop with the 'this' and 'that'." Xu Zhiyi tossed the miniature camera in her hand and laughed, "You should have prepared an excuse before you started filming, so you could have some excuse if you got caught red-handed—now, just tell me honestly, why did you film me?"

"This—this is what I usually use for filming vlogs!" Zhou Wenbin quickly came up with an idea. "I just wanted to record our actions tonight, edit a video, and post it online to promote the deeds of our environmental volunteers!"

"Oh, really?"

Xu Zhiyi nodded, seemingly accepting his statement.

Zhou Wenbin had just breathed a sigh of relief when Xu Zhiyi spoke again.

"Then why did you kick the soda can when I went to catch the snake?"

Zhou Wenbin's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't expect that his little trick would be discovered by the other party.

"I—I just kicked it by accident—"

"careless?"

Xu Zhiyi smiled, too lazy to waste any more words with him, and asked directly, "That snake could have been captured alive, why did you insist that I shoot it dead?"

"I—" Zhou Wenyuan's eyes darted around, "I was just worried about you, afraid you'd get bitten—"

"Worried about me? You're more likely to harm me!" Xu Zhiyi sneered. "You're an environmental volunteer, don't you know that the banded krait is a protected species?"

Zhou Wenbin opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Suddenly, his expression turned cold, and he said arrogantly, "I've already told you the truth, believe it or not—give me back the camera, I'm going back."

Xu Zhiyi put the camera in her pocket and looked at Zhou Wenbin calmly, saying, "Don't worry, I won't let you go until you explain yourself clearly today."

Zhou Wenbin's expression changed, and he shouted sternly, "What do you want to do? Where I go is none of your business!"

After saying that, he didn't want the camera anymore and turned to leave.

But he had only taken two steps when someone grabbed the back of his collar.

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous force came, and he was pulled back like a little chick, staggering back several steps and almost falling on his backside.

Holy crap, this guy is incredibly strong!

Zhou Wenbin was momentarily stunned.

He was all bark and no bite, and after being pulled like that, he instantly realized that the young man in front of him was much stronger than him, and he would definitely suffer if they really fought!

His aura weakened in an instant.

"What—what do you want to do?"

"Don't be afraid, I won't hit you."

Xu Zhiyi looked at him and said seriously, "As long as you explain why you want to harm me and who the mastermind is, I will let you leave."

Zhou Wenbin quickly shook his head, "I really didn't mean to hurt you, and there's no mastermind behind it all—brother, I'll call you brother, okay? Let's stop with this paranoia! I just wanted to film a video of us together to remember who I was."

"Heh~"

Xu Zhiyi smiled and grabbed Zhou Wenbin's wrist.

Zhou Wenbin couldn't take it even with just a little force.

He felt as if his wrist was being clamped by an iron clamp, unable to break free, and in so much pain that he grimaced, as if his bones were cracking.

"Ouch! Ouch! Butcher, be gentle!"

"I'll talk—I'll talk! I really just wanted to call out, I didn't mean to hurt you—actually, I'm not from any environmental association, I just snuck in to pick up girls!"

Xu Zhiyi released her grip and looked at Zhou Wenbin.

The latter said earnestly, "Believe me, I really didn't lie to you!"

Xu Zhiyi didn't say anything, but simply reached out and picked up the snake containment bag.

The silver-ringed snake was still struggling and writhing inside the bag, occasionally hissing.

Upon seeing his action, Zhou Wenbin's pupils suddenly contracted.

"What—what are you going to do?"

Xu Zhiyi didn't answer, but simply carried the bag and walked towards Zhou Wenbin.

Zhou Wenbin was so frightened that he backed away and ran away.

But after running only two steps, he was grabbed by the collar and brought back.

"Butcher! Let's talk this out!" Zhou Wenbin cried out in terror, struggling and shouting, "What are you doing?"

"Don't do anything reckless! That's a banded krait! It's poisonous!"

"I know." Xu Zhiyi nodded and said seriously, "I've looked it up. The venom of the banded krait is a neurotoxin. After being bitten, there is no pain or swelling, but you feel drowsy, then your respiratory muscles are paralyzed, and finally you suffocate to death."

He paused, then added, "The mortality rate is quite high."

Zhou Wenbin was on the verge of tears.

"Brother! No! What exactly do you want?"

"I just want to know who ordered you to do this." Xu Zhiyi looked at him calmly. "Tell me, and I'll let you go."

If you don't tell me, I'll put your hand in and have a close encounter with it.

Zhou Wenbin's face turned deathly pale.

"You—you're breaking the law! If I get bitten, you'll be committing intentional assault! Brother, you're still young, you mustn't go down the path of crime!"

"Isn't this what you wanted to see?" Xu Zhiyi laughed. "You set me up so that I would break the law, didn't you? Now that I've done this, it should be what you wanted, right?"

Why do you seem unhappy?

I'm so damn unhappy!

Zhou Wenbin's legs went weak; he was so scared he almost peed his pants.

If I had known that this butcher was such a ruthless character, he wouldn't have dared to come near me even if he had twice the courage.

"Aren't you going to tell me yet? Looks like you really won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

After Xu Zhiyi finished speaking, he directly opened the snake containment bag. The silver-ringed snake inside the bag was hissing and flicking its tongue. He also grabbed Zhou Wenbin's wrist and pulled it inside without caring.

"No, no, no, no, no!!!"

Zhou Wenbin completely broke down, tears and snot streaming down his face, wailing, "I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! It was Zhou Cheng! Zhou Cheng from the Starry Night Guild! He made me do it!"

Xu Zhiyi frowned slightly.

Zhou Cheng?

That airplane-shaped hairstyle from before?

"He asked me to add you as a friend under the guise of an environmental volunteer, send you those pictures to lure you out, and then induce you to shoot this banded krait so I could take pictures as evidence —"

Zhou Wenbin was so frightened that he spilled everything out like beans from a bamboo tube.

"Oh, right, he also arranged for someone to livestream it there, and someone else to film it from the shadows. He said that if they filmed you shooting protected animals in public, they could completely ruin your reputation and use the traffic to help me build up my account —"

That's the situation. It was all Zhou Cheng's idea; I was just a gofer!

Still live streaming?

Xu Zhiyi glanced at the place Zhou Wenbin had mentioned, but didn't see anyone there, so she guessed they had already left.

He pondered for a moment.

Now everything makes sense.

When Zhou Wenbin mentioned wanting to create a number, he immediately dismissed it as unreliable. There are plenty of ways to create a number; why would he specifically target him and go to such lengths as to bring in a poisonous snake?

But if you have a grudge against him, then there's nothing wrong with it.

When dealing with enemies, you have to use every means possible!

Just like when he interrogated Zhou Wenbin.

If the snake doesn't scare him enough, he'll resort to the "money god" as well.

He won't give up until he gets a satisfactory answer.
