Chapter 632: Lie back and watch the situation develop
"Yes. Mayor, we are just ordinary people. It is useless to ask for energy crystals!"
"That's right, someone has already tried it. When non-evolved people use energy crystals, the final result is that the corpse turns into a zombie. How can we risk being expelled to steal energy crystals!"
"In my opinion, it is absolutely impossible for us ordinary people!"
Everyone started talking about it
Although the transcendent status of the evolvers prevents them from speaking out, most of them point to a few evolvers in the town.
After the crowd's chatter subsided, Zhao Xuecheng immediately spoke, "Yingying, since I got the crystal, I have been absorbing energy in the room and have never come out at all!"
Sun Yao glanced at Sun Liren calmly and saw that he was also looking at her. She immediately knew that her father had succeeded. She was secretly happy and said with a look of fear, "Me too, I have never come out before!"
The two expressed their attitude.
Apart from them, Chen Shuying and Luffy were the only evolvers here, and everyone looked at Luffy.
"It's not him, he couldn't have stolen it!" Chen Shuying understood what everyone was saying, shook her head and defended Luffy, "A few days ago I decided to give him all the third-order energy crystals, but he refused.
If it’s him who gave me half, why bother?”
"Hey, town official, as the saying goes, you know people but don't know their hearts. Who knows what he is thinking?"
Chen Shuying and the others did not dare to discuss it, nor did Zhao Xuecheng, Sun Yao or the others. But for Luffy, an outsider, their concerns were lessened, and they took it easy even if someone spoke.
"Yes, the town official! Maybe he was building a plank road in the open and secretly building a plank road in Chencang. He was generous in sharing half of it with you in an attempt to win your heart, but secretly stole the energy crystal."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
Listening to everyone pointing the finger at him and talking about it, Luffy was speechless.
He originally thought that with his fifth-level strength, he could pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, and everything was under control. But at this moment, he discovered that sometimes strong strength is not omnipotent, and the fifth-level strength is not enough for him to find out at once.
The thief, and was also listed as a key suspect by everyone.
Really fucked.
He felt that even if he opened his mouth to defend himself, no one would believe him unless he showed his strength.
But in this way, it will no longer be possible to distinguish between good and evil, and then it will be impossible to select test subjects, because then no one will dare to be malicious, and the few days here will be wasted.
Thinking of this, he still defended himself, "I know you suspect it's me, but it's definitely not me."
"You said it's not the case, right?"
"Township Officer, since the end of the world, all of us have been living in harmony and loving each other. Nothing has ever been lost in the town. It is not an exaggeration to say that we do not pick up items on the road and do not close our doors at night. How could we do such shameless theft?
?You really shouldn’t doubt us!”
Everyone's discussion once again pointed the finger at Luffy.
Another person said, "Zhenguan, we all know the basics and have no criminal record. You doubt us like this, which chills our hearts!"
"This" Chen Shuying had already frowned. Everyone was telling her one thing, that is, Luffy was a thief.
The situation has already developed beyond her control.
At this moment, even if she continues to say that she believes in Luffy, it will seem very weak.
At this time, Sun Liren said, "Everyone, be quiet! Listen to me."
Everyone became quiet and looked at Sun Liren. He took a step forward and said, "There is no evidence. Please don't doubt anyone. It is true that someone has lost something, but our scope of activities is limited. I am sure that the lost energy
The crystal must still be in this building. In this way, when everyone opens the door, we will arrange for people to search the entire building. If anything is discovered, severe punishment will be imposed."
As the deputy town official, he has the power to make certain decisions.
"We can search, but what if we are not found? Although we are not evolved, we are still human beings and we also have dignity."
"Not bad!" Someone immediately agreed and even shouted to Chen Shuying, "Zhenguan, have you forgotten what you said before?"
"Zhenguan, you said before that here, everyone is equal, there is no oppression, and there is no slavery."
"Search. This is all talk. This is the end of the world. How can we ordinary people still have human rights?"
The scene became chaotic again.
Chen Shuying did not expect that the situation would become serious again.
She took a deep breath, raised her hands to suppress everyone's words and said, "That's it. That's it for now. Let's just pretend that those energy crystals never existed! Okay, let's disperse!"
Luffy looked at Chen Shuying in surprise. He really didn't expect that she would give up the investigation. This was incredible.
At this time, Sun Liren sighed loudly, waved his hands towards everyone and said, "Let's leave, let's leave!"
Everyone dispersed, and soon only Luffy and Chen Shuying were left in the entire basement.
"Sorry." Chen Shuying smiled bitterly at Luffy, "I owe you your energy crystal. When Zhao Xuecheng and the others advance to the third level, it will be much easier to hunt the third-level evolved creatures.
My share will be given to you first!"
"Why not pursue it? Even if we don't pursue it, it's okay to conduct a search." Luffy was very puzzled.
Chen Shuying shook her head and said, "With such a building, so many rooms, and so many nooks and crannies, it will probably take several days to search. This process is so heartbreaking! And there is a chance that we won't find it yet. Even if we find it, there is a high probability that it will not be found."
It’s impossible to confirm who did it? There may even be frame-up situations, which is even more heartbreaking! Once the hearts of the people are lost, it will be difficult to lead the team.”
Luffy rolled his eyes.
I thought you called leading a team?
Is this what you call being led by the team?
However, Luffy still agrees with what he said. There are too many places in the building to hide those two bags of energy crystals. No one is stupid enough to hide stolen goods in their own room. There is a high probability that they will be hidden in shared places or
Hide it directly in other people's rooms, so that if it is found, you will not be exposed.
At that moment, Luffy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, let's go back as you like."
At this time, Luffy also thought about it. Those energy crystals were nothing to him, and the loss of energy crystals also showed that the survivors in this town were not as Chen Shuying said.
harmonious.
On the way back, Chen Shuying kept apologizing to Luffy, even though Luffy had already expressed that he didn't care.
Back in the room, Luffy lay on the bed and did not take any measures to investigate the loss of energy crystals. Instead, he controlled the corpse guards and continued to play cards with Xiao Xiaoling and others.
Because he knows that the survivors in the entire building are paying attention to this matter, so it is impossible for the thief to make any more moves recently, and once he does, he will definitely be discovered by someone who is interested, and he will be even more passive by then.
Besides, his purpose is not to obtain energy crystals, nor to catch thieves, but to select people for his experiments.
But no one would put "I am a bad person" on their forehead.
When the light is too strong, everything is bright.
Only when the light dims does darkness emerge.
The moment he was suspected and discussed by everyone, he suddenly felt that those lost energy crystals might become the fuse for the growth of darkness.
It was also from that moment that Luffy decided to be a transparent person and just wait and see how things develop!
