“Get it straight, you are the villains here. I’m just... punishing evil and promoting good, yes, punishing evil and promoting good, understand?”
As he spoke, Xu Mo patted Bai Feifei’s head, seemingly speaking to no one in particular:
“Do you think it’s reasonable? Since we're living together now, let's get our thoughts in sync. We're not exactly wantonly killing innocents here.”
“Li-li-living together!?”
“What kind of outrageous description is that?! And you clearly took control of my body without any consent!”
Others didn't know what Xu Mo was saying, but Bai Feifei knew he was talking to her.
But please, could you stop using my body to do such outrageous things and say such shocking words?
Her mind was a mess. The conversation between the Old-Timer and these foremen had truly shaken her worldview.
If those things were true, then these foremen weren't just bullies; they were absolute demons!
As the old saying goes, you can't defeat a demon, but a more evil demon can.
Bai Feifei watched as Xu Mo controlled her body, maliciously toying with the men.
He casually killed people as if crushing ants, and his subsequent actions were full of playful mockery, like a cat toying with a mouse, manipulating their lives and tormenting their minds.
Was this a form of... fighting violence with violence?
“When you use my body... could you act a little more human?”
“Also, you don't actually have to say things out loud when talking to me.”
Bai Feifei replied with a wave of helplessness. She knew the Evil God probably wouldn't listen to her, but it was hard to imagine what kind of image she would have in the future...
Controlled by this Evil God, would she even have a future...?
“Oh? Did I say that out loud? Whatever, they're just NPCs, no need to hide anything.”
Xu Mo scratched his head and continued speaking, slowly walking towards the three foremen opposite him, forcing them to retreat repeatedly.
The men clenched their jaws, having no idea what this woman in front of them was saying, only thinking she had gone mad.
The pressure of facing a lunatic who could kill them at any moment was immense.
At this point, since the men were all outside the shop, many miners from the outskirts of the Black Smoke Coal Mine saw them and instinctively stopped to watch.
After hearing their conversation, all the miners showed expressions of shock.
In their daily lives, these foremen were the absolute rulers of the mining area, far from the reach of any higher authority, doing whatever they pleased, harassing men and women alike, with no one daring to defy them.
Why did they look so disheveled now, as if the roles had been reversed and they were being brutally beaten? What had happened?
And the one doing the beating... how could it be such a young and beautiful girl?
The surrounding miners drew closer, their numbers growing. The foreman whose arm had been shot suddenly looked over and roared:
“You damn idiots, stop just staring like morons! Can't you see someone's causing trouble here?!”
“All of you, get over here, quick! Kill her for me!”
Hearing the foreman's roar, the surrounding miners instinctively trembled, and fear appeared in many of their eyes.
Normally, they wouldn't dare disobey the foremen's orders, but facing them now was a Scavenger!
Many instinctively lowered their heads in panic and backed away, trying to pretend nothing was happening and leave this trouble spot.
The injured foreman instantly flew into a rage, as if the pain in his body and the fear in his heart had found an outlet. He roared loudly:
“Damn it! I'd like to see who dares to leave!”
“You bunch of spineless wretches, I see you've gone too long without a beating! All of you, go up there and kill her for me! If you don't, I'll kill you right now!”
As he spoke, he endured the severe pain and raised his handgun with his other hand, pointing it at the watching miners.
But the gunshot never rang out. As a silver flash streaked by, the dagger in Bai Feifei's hand had already traversed space, piercing the foreman's chest.
Blood gushed out like a stream. His distorted face still held its arrogance, but all strength had left him, and he crashed to the ground.
Bai Feifei's (Xu Mo's) hand remained in the throwing posture as he frowned and said:
“I say, buddy, aren't you taking me a little too lightly?”
“I'm still right here, so why are you chatting with other people?”
With the death of yet another foreman, the other two foremen's hearts skipped a beat in terror. At the same time, the watching miners were utterly stunned beyond belief.
What had they seen?
That high-and-mighty foreman, who usually barked orders at them, was just dead?!
Dozens of eyes instantly focused on Bai Feifei, staring intently at the casually murderous yet calm young woman.
They actually wanted to shout 'well killed,' but years of oppression kept them from speaking at such a moment, leaving only silence.
The two remaining foremen stumbled backward, finally managing a smile uglier than a cry, and spoke softly:
“Milady, we have no grudge against you. Why resort to killing?”
“Oh? Now you know to call me 'milady'?” Xu Mo curled his lips playfully.
“We'll accept our bad luck. If you leave now, we'll pretend nothing happened today, and I'll find a way to silence these commoners who witnessed it.”
“The Black Smoke Coal Mine has deep roots, with many intricate connections that even we don't fully understand. When this place was established, you weren't even born!”
“If you kill all of us, you'll end up dead yourself. Your Scavenger identity won't save you.”
Faced with the threat of death, this man finally spoke some sense, no longer spewing idiotic curses.
But Xu Mo merely curved his lips into a smirk, pointing at the man's hand behind his back.
“Who are you sending a message to? Just take it out, openly.”
The foreman's body instantly trembled, shocked that he had been discovered!
While speaking to stall for time, he had hidden a button-phone behind his back, frantically typing out information and reporting the situation.
But such petty tricks were meaningless to an old hand like Xu Mo. In fact, his purpose in messing with these people was precisely to make them report back!
“I don't mind. Hurry up and report, so I can catch them all.”
“I'm not really interested in killing a few of you; it doesn't give any experience anyway.”
“Quickly report to the people behind you that someone's here to crash the party! Bring out all your tricks—your captive aberrations, your aberration army, whatever you have. I'm here to farm mobs.”
Xu Mo chuckled as he took out another longsword from Huang Jiahao's storage ring and flicked it, producing a crisp sound.
“And you say I wasn't even born when your Black Smoke Coal Mine was established?”
“Don't you dare act like an Old-Timer in front of me! When I was dancing on the graves of gods, your Black Smoke Coal Mine was still just a string of code!”
