Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1246 - 35: There Is No All-Powerful Bodhisattva Here (Part 2)
As the first Divine Witch under the Master of Ten Thousand Transformations, she had no sympathy for these Wokou Pirates.
Letting them live one more second would be irresponsible to the Naturalized Citizens.
As for how they came, whether it was the fluctuation of the Temporal Tide or some other reason, that wasn’t important at all.
Here is Xu Changge, you have come to the wrong place.
Yang Chan walked over with a solemn expression and bowed to the panicked guests in the restaurant, saying: "There is no need to panic, we have experts in the hotel to prevent any intrusions. We at Xiangjiang Hotel promise to ensure the safety of your lives and property."
"That’s easy for you to say!"
His words were not enough to soothe the worried guests, as someone immediately questioned: "I saw the cannons on their ship, what if they open fire?"
Before the words were finished, a loud boom was heard outside.
They really opened fire.
But we did not know what they were targeting.
The United Kingdom had stationed troops here with combat effectiveness equal to zero.
As the saying goes, having high combat ability makes it difficult for the masters to do business.
Yang Chan quickly said: "I will arrange for you to stay in rooms at the back, so you don’t have to worry about being affected by the cannon fire."
This concern came from the fact that it was his family’s property.
If it were someone else’s hotel, at this time, who would care whether the guests lived or died? Did you pay for security? That’s why I’m worried for you?
After arranging for the ordinary guests, Yang Chan turned back, looked at the few Penglai disciples still leisurely dining in the restaurant, hesitated a bit, and couldn’t help but approach Yin Nan, whispering: "Brother Yin, I know you’re courageous and skilled. There is a personal matter, perhaps you might lend a hand."
Yin Nan smiled: "We are all friends away from home, Brother Yang, no need for such courtesy. If you have something to say, I will certainly help if I can."
Yang Chan’s face showed gratitude, and he quickly said: "To tell the truth, I have a younger sister named Yang Xu, who attends Saint Paul Middle School. Previously, when there was an outbreak at the mountaintop hotel, she and her classmates were trapped there. Normally, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but under today’s circumstances... I am really worried about her."
Yin Nan smiled: "I was wondering what it was, do you have a photo of your sister? Give me one."
Yang Chan shook his head and said: "Of course I have a photo, but it makes no sense for Brother Yin to go alone. Actually, I know a bit of martial arts and can protect myself. I just wanted Brother Yin to come with me to ensure everything is alright. We’ll be quick and won’t delay the important things."
Yin Nan, without suspicion, informed the senior brother and then left with Yang Chan.
Zhuang Xiaodie leaned against the window, watching the thick smoke billow on the street below, then turned to Li Mumu, who was silently sipping coffee beside her, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly: "Senior Sister, should we go down and help?"
"The senior sister has already gone."
"But..."
"What do you think these Wokou Pirates are here for?"
"..."
Zhuang Xiaodie’s face was full of confusion, how should I know about such things.
"Plunder money and food, to put it simply, are the only two goals, everything else is secondary."
Li Mumu pointed to a spot downstairs: "You see, there is a gold shop over there, and next to it is a pawnshop, but they seem to have not noticed at all. Without preparing manpower in advance to focus on attacking these two shops, it appears just like ordinary harassment, sparring with the shop’s security."
"What does this mean? It means they have no thorough and detailed robbery plan before coming ashore; do you think this is reasonable for a robber?"
"Hmm..."
Zhuang Xiaodie thought to herself, I’m not a robber either, how would I have experience in this?
But why does Senior Sister have a ’hate iron for not becoming steel’ look on her face?
The work was done too sloppily.
Li Mumu thought, if it were me and Wendy working together, I would ensure this street was swept cleaner than a dog’s feeding bowl.
Although you can’t expect the Wokou Pirates to have strict discipline, to mangle the art of their trade like this is really unbearable to watch.
Unless... these people’s real purpose isn’t robbery, but to create chaos, to draw others’ attention.
Where are their main forces? Where did those few shots land just now?
The view from the top floor of Xiangjiang Hotel is very narrow, excellent for watching the sea, but you can’t see the situation on the other side of the city.
The masters are kind-hearted, they can’t bear to look at filth over there.
The villas on Taiping Mountain are built so beautifully, even a fool can tell it’s where the wealthy live, and Xiangjiang has been peaceful for so long, they never imagined a pirate attack would occur.
Especially by these hundreds-year-old relics.
What misfortune!
Li Mumu appeared calm on the surface, but in her mind, she was calculating cause and effect.
Things are not as simple as they appear on the surface.
Speaking of Fusang People, when they first moved into the hotel, on the day they went out looking for people, they encountered Fusang Ninjas trying to block them.
It was like trying to stop a car with one’s arms.
But that’s because they didn’t expect the intervention of the Penglai element.
Their ability to take action is not weak at all.
As the Cause and Effect Line was investigated a little deeper, Li Mumu’s expression became increasingly odd.
In this world, many things can only be seen on the surface, not looked into deeply.
It’s the so-called being lightweight without a scale, weighing a thousand pounds once on it.
"Should we go out and check?"
"Huh? Now?"
Zhuang Xiaodie was taken aback, not quite understanding why Li Mumu suddenly had this idea.
"Senior Brother Ji Yan, there might be some troubles on Brother Yin’s end, I’ll go help him."
Li Mumu briefly explained the situation to Ji Yan.
Ji Yan nodded and said: "The mountains might be slippery, Junior Sister be careful."
This remark had no other meaning than what was said; in Ji Yan’s eyes, the mountain paths were indeed a greater threat to this junior sister than the Wokou Pirates.
After all, she wasn’t fond of exercise usually.
Walking out of the hotel, the streets outside were in a chaotic state.
The bodies of Fusang Ronin Samurai were scattered everywhere, severed and dismembered.
Zhuang Xiaodie widened her eyes, instinctively grabbing Li Mumu’s sleeve.
From above, she couldn’t clearly see, only noticed the thick smoke below, presuming the Wokou were still pillaging and killing.
But Li Mumu was clearer about the situation, so she wasn’t anxious.
From the moment Xu Changge stepped out, there weren’t going to be any living Wokou Pirates left on this street.
Moreover, the damage caused by these Wokou Pirates who landed was very limited.
Firstly, they were not enough in number, and those who came to raid were not the main force.
Secondly, this was no longer a time from hundreds of years ago; having stationed troops with low combat effectiveness doesn’t mean the security guards hired by the rich were weak.
These days in Xiangjiang, every average person starts with a short gun; no matter how sharp your katana is, it’s useless.
When Li Mumu stepped outside, the gold shop and pawnshop across the street hadn’t been taken; the shop assistants, each with a gun, blocked the entrance driving the Wokou Pirates into retreat.
Several Black Cloud Armors lay parked in the street, those inside were all dead, and the steam engines were still spewing black smoke.
At this time, those three-masted ships on the sea fired again, dozens of cannons fired in a continuous roar.
But the direction they aimed at...
What are you firing at?
Li Mumu squinted her eyes, noticing that those pirate ships were actually using the cannons on the opposite side of their hulls to fire towards the open sea.
Across the water, a shadow quietly spread, revealing the gleaming white steel hull of a ship.
A piercing horn sounded from the lead ship, urgent and shrill, as if sounding an alarm.
The technological gap of hundreds of years was vividly demonstrated in this shot.
