Morton is only a councilman, not a priest. There is no "I" in front of his name, and there are no fish features on his exposed body.
On the contrary, he is the most human among a bunch of people.
He didn't show anything special. Tiamat and the others suddenly went crazy and attacked each other. There should be no direct contact with Morton.
Xia Yanzhen has already tested this with a sword.
It is certain that it was not Morton's fault.
After hearing Xia Yanzhen's words, Morton slowly put down his hand. The blood in the wound near his ear gradually solidified. Unfortunately, the missing ear would not come back.
The ferocious look with half his face covered in blood will not disappear for a while.
His expression changed several times, his eyes flickered, he walked towards the Leng Yue Sword beside him, grabbed the hilt and pulled it out hard, but did not pull it out.
"You still won't help?"
Morton growled with a ferocious face, first out of anger and second out of pain.
The thugs around him breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't dare to run, but they didn't want to die again.
It would be best to "reconcile" now.
Several people went over and pulled out the Leng Yue Sword together.
Morton came down with the Leng Yue Sword and stared at Xia Yanzhen: "Who are you?"
"I remember we introduced ourselves," Xia Yanzhen said.
"..."
Morton said nothing. Are these people really the princes and guards of some unknown Indian country?
Xia Yanzhen took the Leng Yue Sword.
"Let's come in and talk," Morton said.
There is his office inside the factory.
Outside, Gui Xie and the other three people had woken up and were looking around blankly.
They had no amnesia and still remembered what happened just now. They just felt a senseless anger taking control of their minds and couldn't help but want to attack the people next to them.
I can't control it at all.
At that time, they were even "sober", but just wanting to do this gave them a sense of indulgence and depravity.
Looking back now, I find it incredible.
Tiamat and Xiaoyao were also pulled out and revived.
After Tiamat woke up, she moved her body and made various crackling sounds.
It is not that hard in the human form, but it recovers very quickly. The broken bones have begun to gradually recover and will not affect movement.
The wounds on the arms and body are no longer bleeding and will scab over later.
Xiaoyao's recovery power was not as strong as Tiamat's. He just adjusted his breath a little and used his almighty internal power to strengthen the bones to avoid pain. After taking the elixir, he also gave one to Tiamat.
Tiamat studied the dark elixir for a while, then swallowed it simply.
Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.
Although everyone had lost control just now, if they really calculated their past grievances, they must have suffered the most.
When Tiamat took the healing elixir, she smoothed the matter over and stopped worrying about it.
Rudolf, the "way leader", failed to play a role. He was hit by a bullet in the thigh and was lying on the ground wailing.
When the thugs were cleaning up the scene, they also moved him away.
Xia Yanzhen and others, along with Morton, who had taken care of his wounds a little, sat down in his office and living room.
Morton stared at Xia Yanzhen: "What do you want to do?"
At this time, it is meaningless to ask about identity.
He kicked the iron plate, please lower your head first.
"Do you know about mermaids?" Xia Yanzhen asked directly.
"Mermaid?"
"Change the name, undersea man?" Xia Yanzhen pointed at Alec behind him, "Our prince is very interested in mermaids and wants to know more about them. Isn't there a legend about mermaids on Mouth Island?"
Morton glanced at Xia Yanzhen, who was sitting in the chair with Damajinda, and then looked at Alec, who was shivering and curious behind him.
Who among you is the master?
"Mermaids and such are nonsense." Morton said after careful consideration, "It's just a rumor. I have never heard of any underwater people or mermaids."
Xia Yanzhen looked at Xiaoyao.
Xiaoyao understood it in his mind, and then he used a mental trick: "Nonsense, we saw a mermaid when we just arrived on the island."
"Have you ever seen a mermaid?"
Morton couldn't help but frown, not understanding what these people were going to do.
"Yes, and that mermaid is your subordinate!" Xiaoyao said, "But you said you have never seen a mermaid?"
Morton became even more confused: "I don't understand what you are talking about. My men are all humans. How can they be mermaids?"
Xiaoyao put one hand behind his back and made a waving gesture towards Xia Yanzhen, indicating that Morton must not be lying - the telepathy technique had already taken effect.
Morton, like Xiaoyao, cannot see the mermaid characteristics of his subordinates.
"Come here." Xia Yanzhen said.
Xiaoyao took over the questioning task, and from shallow to deep, he continued to influence Morton.
Fear, jealousy and the effect of telepathy made Morton know everything without knowing it.
He really doesn't know anything about mermaids or undersea people.
It is true that such a legend has been spread inexplicably on Mouth Island, but it is just a rumor.
As for why there is such a legend.
According to Morton, it is probably because of the special geographical environment of the Mouth Island sea area that the sea water rises from time to time and submerges parts of the city.
The people on Mouth Island swim everywhere in the water, so there are rumors about undersea people and mermaids.
If it weren't for Xia Yan, he would have been able to see those mermaids.
What Morton said is quite reasonable.
But, does Morton really know nothing?
Not really.
He himself does not have the characteristics of a mermaid, but his subordinates more or less do, and... don't forget Tiamat and the others' sudden madness.
This matter is closely related to Morton's men.
Morton is still hiding something, and Xiaoyao hasn't asked about the key points yet.
Xiaoyao thought of his sudden abnormality and asked further: "Are you sure that your subordinates and crew members have no problems at all?"
Morton's expression changed slightly, as if he was having an inner struggle.
"Come, tell us everything you know. After listening, we will turn around and leave." Xiaoyao's voice carried overlapping and strange echoes.
Not only that, he stretched out his hand in front of Morton's eyes and twisted his fingers like a snake.
Morton's expression suddenly became confused and he started talking.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiaoyao further seduces the mind, it is no longer a simple influence, but close to hypnosis and control.
Morton failed to resist Xiaoyao's telepathy, and replied obediently: "Many of my people are blessed people, and those who harm them will be punished."
"Blessings from the God of Mouth..." Morton said this, his confused expression disappeared instantly, his eyes turned red, and he roared like a beast, and rushed towards Xiaoyao.
It seemed like a switch had been touched.
Xiaoyao took a step back, walked around to Morton's side, and slashed Morton's neck with his knife.
Morton fell to the ground in response, but was not knocked unconscious by Xiaoyao. He immediately jumped up and rushed towards Xiaoyao again.
His movements became very fast, unlike what a middle-aged man like him could do.
Xiaoyao avoided it again and slapped Morton on the forehead.
Morton flew backwards, hit the wall, landed on the ground, and bounced a little.
When "bouncing", Morton jumped up and continued to pounce on Xiaoyao without any hesitation.
Move quickly.
It's a pity that it's still only within the scope of ordinary people.
Even if Xiaoyao was injured, he would not be hit by Morton. He turned around and kicked Morton in the leg.
With the crisp sound of bone cracking, Morton fell to the ground, but the fanatical expression on his face did not diminish at all, and he continued to attack with a low growl.
Xiaoyao was not polite and took action like lightning, directly removing Morton's limbs.
Let him fall completely to the ground, twisting like a caterpillar.
"Captain Xia?" Xiaoyao looked at Xia Yanzhen.
Xia Yanzhen stood up, walked to Morton and squatted down, raised his chin, and took a closer look: "Well, there are some fish scales on the neck. It's very subtle, but it's not easy to see. It just appeared."
"So, that's Mouth..." Xiaoyao said two words and very wisely closed his mouth.
This mission world seems to have no extraordinary power, but in fact there are some powers that are very strange.
The cursed city, the power that makes people mad inexplicably, and the "God of Mouth" that changes after Morton speaks it.
These things are probably not something that can be touched casually.
Even the Apostle of Dreams will be affected.
Morton changed after saying "God of Mouth", but what about them?
If you say anything about the God of Mouth casually, will it be affected by unknown strange forces and produce adverse changes?
You might as well be careful and don't say those words carelessly.
Strange power, language is never an obstacle.
"The God of Mouth." Xia Yanzhen finished speaking on behalf of Xiaoyao, "If we want to find it, it should be related to the mermaid."
"How to find him? This guy can't communicate at all." Xiaoyao had already removed Morton's jaw to prevent him from continuing to scream.
"Go find other members of the Mouth Council." Xia Yanzhen said.
On the way here, Rudolph had already introduced Morton's identity.
There are several MPs like Morton, noble big shots, on the island.
Morton couldn't speak, so he went to ask others.
But before that, Tiamat gave full play to the dragon's treasure-hunting ability and found a hidden safe in the office.
After opening it, there were several bags of gold coins and several exquisite pistols and bullets inside.
According to the purchasing power of gold coins, any bag is enough for a group of people to enjoy themselves on Mouth Island for several years.
With the "mission funds", everyone let Morton go.
Walk out of the office openly.
There were some thugs standing guard outside, but they stopped talking.
"Remember to send your boss to the hospital." Xiaoyao said to those people.
As one of the important clues, Morton will be left alone for now, maybe it will be useful later.
Not long after, several people walked out of the factory.
Tiamat put down a small boat, and several people got on it, speeding along the road that was flooded by the sea.
"Boss, boss, what's wrong with you?"
On the other side, Morton's thugs were helpless against the abnormal Morton.
What should I do? I won’t send my boss to a mental hospital, right?
"Are we going to find other congressmen now?" Alec said excitedly on the boat.
After experiencing many things, he seemed to have become numb and only wanted to find the legendary mermaid.
Xia Yanzhen and the others also accepted their various behaviors easily.
I don't know if it's a side effect of telepathy.
However, Alec is very cooperative, which is naturally good, so that everyone doesn't waste a lot of time.
"No, let's eat first and take a rest. There's no rush." Xia Yanzhen said.
