"Yes, that's not what I meant." Hermione looked at the remains of the spider and frowned.

"I don't think you need to blame yourself at all. That disgusting thing really wanted to kill me just now!" Ron took a breath and said, "I even smelled the scent of death just now. Do you believe it?"

"Of course, I also think it really regarded you as food." Harry nodded and said, "Why is there such a dangerous giant spider in the Forbidden Forest? What kind of spider is it?"

"This should be a giant acromantula. I've seen it in the Fantastic Beasts Handbook." Hermione squatted down and carefully examined the wreckage. "But according to common sense, they usually live near the coastline of Greece and shouldn't be in the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts."

"Was it those house-elves who did it?" Ron instinctively felt that this was related to the evil house-elves.

"No, that's not the case." Dobby shook his head and said, "These giant spiders already existed before the Prophet brought the elves to live in the Forbidden Forest. They collectively besieged the Prophet and the elves, but were blown to pieces one by one by the Prophet!"

"Blown to pieces?" Harry asked in confusion, "Could it be that the prophet can use alchemy to create magical explosives?"

"No, that's not magic explosives!" Dobby waved his hand and shouted, "That's the Prophet's own power, an unparalleled power!"

"It's talking nonsense again." Ron sighed helplessly and said, "I've never heard of any magic that can cause such a strong explosive effect."

Harry was silent for a moment, then asked, "What should we do now? Should we continue moving forward?"

He instinctively felt that Dobby wasn't talking nonsense, and while he might be exaggerating a bit, the so-called prophet was probably quite capable. Continuing to track him down like this would be very risky.

"Of course, we're already here." Ron nodded without hesitation and said, "We still have Hermione as our powerful trump card, so there will be no problem!" He was actually a little worried in his heart, but he would definitely not show his fear at this time.

"But we still have to be careful and don't forget that we are just trying to find the truth," Hermione reminded.

After reaching a consensus, the three finally chose to continue the adventure.

Seeing their steps become noticeably more cautious and careful than before, Jellal chuckled softly. He no longer paid attention to the three little ones, but instead turned his gaze to the group chat interface.

Illustrator: Look at this! The Strain family used their private guards to seize sixty-seven properties and commercial buildings. He and his lackeys are suspected of killing two hundred and seventy-four innocent people in five years... Isn't this animalistic?

Skirt-lifting maniac: Is there any doubt about that? This guy must be a beast!

Scarlet Snake Fairy: I have killed more than two hundred people in five years. My hands are really stained with blood.

Hatchet Girl: There's no need to put this bastard on trial, just hang him.

Lazy Kitten: Hanging? This kind of punishment is too cheap for such a beast. I suggest slow slicing!

Illustrator: If even this is subject to lingchi, then what punishments should be used for the following ones? After all, compared to the other families, the Strain is relatively restrained.

The Angel of the Hidden Rain Village:?

Skirt-lifting maniac: This, this is considered restrained?

Illustrator: Yes, believe me! This is definitely restrained! Some nobles, in order to make their monsters more ferocious, feed them with the flesh and blood of entire villages. Even newborn children...

Shark-faced guy: ...

Lazy Kitten: Damn, this is really outrageous! Can humans really be this cruel?

This is an actor: This isn't the cruelty of human nature, but rather the indulgence of their bestiality due to their absolute privilege. If the bestiality of aristocratic privilege is not curbed, it will continue to run rampant and expand.

521 On Deadpool's Shame

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: That's right! Animality and humanity are two different concepts. We can't consider animality the same as humanity! I think the nature that comes with us at birth is more animality than humanity. Because only after animality is transformed and reversed can it be called human nature.

Skirt-lifting maniac: This is the first time I’ve heard of Sister Xiaonan’s theory. I don’t think I’ve ever been able to distinguish between animality and humanity before.

Scarlet Snake Fairy: I think what Xiaonan said makes a lot of sense. I also believe that what goes against nature is human nature. For example, my previous killing behavior was just indulging the animalistic desire to kill.

Lazy Little Kitten: Wow, Sister Mo Chou is speaking directly from her own experience, right?

Hatchet Girl: So do we still need to reform the minds of these nobles so that they can rediscover their humanity?

This is an actor: There's no need. They can no longer regain their humanity. Besides, sins ultimately require a price to pay. Furthermore, the other world and modern society are fundamentally different. If the public's views are to prevail, the idea of privilege must be radically transformed.

Illustrator: Is it because the idea of privilege here is so deeply ingrained that harsh punishments are needed to change this fixed mindset?

This is an actor: Ah, you can understand it that way.

Book Artist: I see.

Eriri took a deep breath and waved.

Bang bang bang.

The pedals beneath the nobles' feet were pulled away one after another, and ropes were hung around their necks, lifting them high into the air. With their hands tied behind their backs and suspended in mid-air, the nobles struggled desperately, but they could not escape their fate of death.

There was an uproar.

The crowd around them applauded and cheered when they saw this scene, and some even cried for joy. They really didn't expect that they would see these evil nobles being hanged in their lifetime.

"This is really surprising..." Claire sighed softly as she looked at the people singing and dancing on the stage.

"Now do you understand why Mr. Death came up with this ridiculous plan?" Ashley, who was standing beside her, smiled and said, "I remember you found it difficult to understand at first. Is this against the laws of the Empire?"

"Ben, it doesn't fit in the first place."

"Although this violates Imperial law, do you think this is a good outcome?"

"I..." Claire was stunned and fell silent. The evil had received its due retribution, and justice had been served. This was certainly a good outcome, but it also conflicted with what she had long upheld.

This is very rigid.

"I think you should understand now that the laws of the empire are not omnipotent."

Ashley stopped pressing her and said, "Laws are rules, and these rules only protect the rights of those in power. So, who are the people in power in this country? Are they these simple people we see?"

Claire fell silent again, and fell into silence for a long time.

"You should also completely change those fixed ideas you hold onto." Ashley looked into the distance and said calmly, "If you don't overturn your old ideas, how can you embrace the rising sun?"

Her words seemed to be a warning to Claire, but weren't they also spoken to herself?

As a former judge and enforcer of the Empire's laws, she once believed that the Empire's laws were just and fair. But now, she was wrong, and terribly wrong.

This so-called justice and fairness only presents relative fairness among nobles. This kind of fairness will not be given to the people, but instead becomes a cage that imprisons the people's thoughts.

Foul-mouthed Suit Man: Why should we give those beasts preferential treatment and even reform their minds? Can beasts change themselves? Can they? This is obviously impossible, absolutely impossible! It's like curing Tony's athlete's foot. It's all nonsense!

Skirt-lifting maniac: How dare you say that...

Hatchet Girl: Forget it, I'm too lazy to complain about Mr. Deadpool anymore. He's clearly a criminal, yet he still uses double standards every day.

Book Artist: But, Tony has athlete's foot? You knew that, too?

Curly-haired guy: No need to ask, this guy must have smelled it while lying down!

Lazy Kitten: Phew, it's okay after smelling it! What kind of picture is that? Even the master of drawing books probably can't draw it!

The artist of the book: I really can’t draw it. If you want to talk about imagination, you have to look at Yin.

Angel of the Hidden Rain Village: The fight between Deadpool and Thor is over, who wins and who loses?

Foul-mouthed man in a suit: Why do you even need to ask this kind of question? Uncle, how could a tough guy like me lose? How could you even think that I would lose?

Lazy little kitty: You fucking macho, dare you say anything more?

Skirt-lifting maniac: No, we agreed to let Thor have Thanksgiving. It's over now. Did he express gratitude?

Hatchet Girl: That's right! At least, he should sing a song of gratitude to you, right?

Lazy Kitten: Hahahaha! Listen to me say thank you, because of you, the four seasons are warm... If I weren't a cat, I'd at least give you a few words!

This is an actor: It's almost done, the Animagus should be ready for you the day after tomorrow.

Lazy Kitten: Yay!

Fairy Chi Lian: Congratulations, Luo Luo, you can become an adult again.

Book artist: Congratulations, congratulations. When the time comes, please sing this song for An Ransang to listen to.

This is an actor: No thanks.

Foul-mouthed man: He was almost going to have Thanksgiving, but it's all because of that sticking up his butt that's getting in the way! Nosy bastard, bah!

Skirt-lifting maniac: They're clearly doing this for your own good, and you're still scolding them. If you keep fighting like this, there's no way to determine the outcome. What's the point?

Hatchet Girl: Yes, and now we have a common enemy.

Foul-mouthed Man in Suit: Hey, guys! I didn't start this fight, it was this bastard who attacked me first! You should know that I've always been a peace-loving person. But I'm not afraid of anything, no matter if he's the God of Thunder or the Purple Potato Spirit!

Shark-Faced Guy: I have a very important question, Mr. Deadpool. How on earth do you manage to keep such a straight face when spouting such bullshit? Do you really have no shame at all?

522 The actions of the spy in the Special Operations Bureau

Skirt-lifting maniac: Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! Don't you, Kisame-san, really not know where Mr. Deadpool's sense of shame comes from? He has nothing to do with shame, from the inside out! From the inside out!

Book Artist: Yes! If he had any sense of shame, he wouldn't be Deadpool!

Curly-haired guy: This bastard dares to stroll down the street in just tights. To be able to do that, it means he's already eaten his sense of shame with his rice! Maybe, with a little soy sauce?

Hatchet Girl: Gin-san's painting is very detailed and exquisite with a little soy sauce added.

Foul-mouthed man: Damn it, I never eat soy sauce! I don't have that kind of taste for soy sauce, you know? I only like peanut butter! Of course, if you don't have peanut butter, sesame paste will work.

Book Artist: ??? High in calories, bro.

Skirt-lifting maniac: Indeed, both peanut butter and sesame paste are extremely high in calories. I usually eat the kind of calorie-free salad dressing.

Foul-mouthed man: Damn, you two little girls really have no taste at all. How can you even eat something like salad?

Curly Hair: Hey, you idiot, you're actually in the mood to discuss your taste with us? Has the Chirita crisis been completely resolved?

Foul-mouthed Suit Man: No, but it's coming soon. Our cute little Tony has gone to shut down the Tesseract. Come on... let me show you Tony's adorable little butt. [Picture]

Scarlet Snake Fairy:?

Foul-mouthed man in a suit: Isn’t it trendy? Are you cute?

The illustrator: What the hell is this cute? It's just a butt in a steel armor suit! Tell me, what's so cute about this?

Foul-mouthed Suit Guy: Hey, you're saying this armored butt can't turn you on? Want to see a bare butt? That won't do, no, no, no...

The illustrator: Who the hell wants to see this? You're toxic, aren't you? You're the one who started this topic!

Skirt-lifting maniac: You stir up trouble and then turn the tables. You're just like me, Mr. Deadpool.

Scarlet Snake Fairy: It’s so shameless that it leaves me speechless.

Li Mochou breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head slightly.

"Master, I've already counted everything." Just then, Qu Feiyan, dark circles under his eyes, walked into the county hall. "The total amount of silver deposited into this yamen is 276,000 taels, and there are also some jewelry, land deeds, and other items not included."

"Thank you for your hard work." Li Mochou was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

The figure of 270,000 taels of silver really surprised her. The annual tax revenue of an ordinary county government office was only about 10,000 taels at most. And this tax did not include expenses and tribute.

If you add in expenses and tribute, the county government only has a few hundred taels of silver left each year. But this magistrate has only been here for two years, yet he has amassed a whopping 270,000 taels...

There's no need to ask where this money comes from. It must be from plundering the local people, so it's no wonder they hate him so deeply.

"It's not a big deal, it's the first time I've seen so much money in my life." Qu Feiyan shook her head and said softly, "Do we really have to give it all to the local people?"

"This originally belonged to them." Li Mochou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This isn't being distributed to them, but returned to them. You should get some rest early. I'll find some people to check and verify it tomorrow."

Li Mochou naturally knew that even if the money was returned to the people, it couldn't be distributed casually like a scattering of flowers by a goddess. This also required precise planning and review.

This process is very complicated and cannot be done by the master and apprentice alone.

Foul-mouthed man: What do you mean by shameless? Is it me, the uncle? Alas, it's really hard to be a good person these days. Even if I tell the truth, I'll be called shameless. So, who is the shameless one?

Lazy Kitten: Pfft, you're such a good guy! You're such a good guy!

The kitten nearly choked with laughter. Even Deadpool dared to call himself a good guy these days? But while she was laughing happily, her pooper scooper, Ye Rong, and the blonde girl, Yang Xi, were frowning with worry.

"No, it's not here either!" Ye Rong flipped through the documents in front of her, a little annoyed, "Why is this happening? I clearly saw it last month!"

"I saw it too, but now the information has disappeared." Yang Xi was also filled with righteous indignation. "These document organizers are really just freeloaders. They even lost such an important document?"

"What document?" At this time, Qi Luoli also looked at the two of them and asked in confusion.

Of course, these two girls obviously didn't understand animal language and had no idea what she was saying.

"Document No. 69 records a special mutant beast codenamed Teng Snake." At this time, Li Yanran walked over from the side and said slowly, "We may need it for this mission."

"Teng Snake?" The kitten frowned and said, "Isn't that a creature from mythology? Teng Snake rides on the mist, but eventually returns to dust..."

"It's just a code name, not a true mythical species." Li Yanran's expression was calm and composed. "It's named Teng Snake because it has the ability to fly and emit mist. Someone saw it in Block 9 yesterday."

Ye Rong stroked the kitten's head and said softly, "Because special mutant beasts usually don't approach human cities, we think this matter is suspicious."

"It's a pity that the detailed information about Teng Snake disappeared inexplicably." Yang Xi looked at Ye Rong's actions with envy, wanting to try but not daring to.
