Chapter 52 [The Peddler], Clues to [The Faceless God]

Wang Yan, wearing the Seven Sins Mask, swept his gaze over their heads.

The remaining people still have sins.

Failure to report known information.

Pretend to be deaf and dumb.

He received benefits.

However, he never personally ate the longevity fruit, nor did he personally send people into the ancestral hall.

Whether these people should be punished or executed is a matter for the subsequent management bureau to handle.

Wang Yan had no interest in making decisions for the Administration Bureau.

He withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards the squad leader.

The squad leader's name is Yan Ce.

They are currently leading people to settle the survivors.

Wang Yan tossed it with his hand.

An action camera and a blood-stained ledger fell into Yan Ce's arms.

Yan Ce quickly caught it.

"This is?"

Wang Yan said, "The camera contains some of the evil deeds in Changsheng Town that I filmed with my clone."

"The ledger was found on Qian Fuhai, and it contained information about their channels for purchasing ordinary people and their transaction records."

"You guys take a look after this, see if you can use this ledger to take down those human trafficking rings as well."

Yan Ce's face darkened, and he nodded solemnly.

He hated human traffickers more than anything in his life!

After staring at the small screen of the camera for a while, Yan Ce's expression turned cold.

"Bring the computer!"

He commanded.

Its team members quickly sprang into action.

Import the video from the camera quickly.

The video is short.

It only lasted a few tens of seconds.

As soon as the screen lit up, the expressions of several Bureau members changed.

Under the dim light, rows of large and small black skeletons were dumped in the back room of the ancestral hall.

The quantity is extremely large.

Then open that ledger again.

In a certain year and month.

Aoyama City: Three boys and two girls.

Longevity-ending fruit...

Next page.

Seven homeless people from other provinces.

Longevity-ending fruit...

After watching it, all the members of the management bureau were trembling.

"Damn it! I'm so late!"

"So many children!"

"What a bunch of beasts!"

The young team members next to him had red eyes.

"Captain, it's one thing for Wang Yan to kill everyone in Changsheng Town, but we have to catch all these human traffickers, not a single one can escape!!"

"rest assured!"

Yan Ce adjusted his emotions.

Then I dialed Wang Liqun's number directly.

"Team Leader Wang, an account book was found at the scene in Changsheng Town. It may contain clues about a human trafficking ring."

"right."

"Not just adults, but children too!"

His voice grew even colder as he said this.

"I request an immediate transfer."

"..."

Wang Yan did not continue listening.

Except for the human traffickers and the peddlers who are not here, all the other heinous criminals have been killed by him.

Subsequent sealing off, evidence collection, arrests, and interrogations are all the responsibility of the Administration Bureau.

He glanced at the sky.

The sun had completely set.

Changsheng Town is so big, and there are so many survivors, it's definitely not going to end tonight.

Wang Yan said to Yan Ce, "You guys go ahead and get on with the rest."

Yan Ce turned his head.

Where are you going?

Wang Yan said, "Let's go back to the car and replenish our energy. I'll treat you to dinner when we're done."

After saying that, Wang Yan turned and left.

He was very fast, disappearing from everyone's sight in just a few steps.

After getting away from the town entrance, Wang Yan confirmed that no one was nearby and summoned back several pale clones.

The clone was carrying a bunch of strange objects.

Some of them fell from the bodies of the deceased wielders.

Some of them were unearthed from the ruins of the Fushou Temple.

They are all rare items below grade C.

There are fifteen items in total.

Wang Yan had no intention of scrutinizing his abilities since they were mediocre.

Collect them one by one.

[Successfully added to favorites.]

[Successfully added to favorites.]

[Successfully added to favorites.]

【…】

After the last item disappeared, the system prompted a refresh.

[Task: Collect 100 rare items (75/100).]

Wang Yan looked at the number and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

It jumped directly from 60 to 75.

Changsheng Town may be disgusting, but the profits are truly substantial.

Then he took out the ever-burning oil lamp.

The oil lamp was small.

The lamp body is engraved with a circle of tiny figures kneeling and worshipping something.

It has a rustic feel and doesn't look like a modern craft.

I don't know where Changsheng Town got its things from.

[Strange Object: Everlasting Oil Lamp]

[Level: A]

[Abilities: Longevity Fire, Gathering Longevity, Illuminating Life]

[Longevity Flame: When an oil lamp is lit, it forms a longevity flame that is not easily extinguished and possesses great power.]

[Longevity Accumulation: Throwing a person or calamity into the flame of an oil lamp will extract a certain amount of the target's lifespan, forming a Longevity Fruit. Those who consume the Longevity Fruit will have their lifespan extended and will be strengthened.]

[Illumination: Within the area illuminated by the lamplight, the target's lifespan status and the strength of their life force can be seen.]

[Storage quantity of Longevity Fruit: 10 five-year-old Longevity Fruits, 2 ten-year-old Longevity Fruits.]

[Side effect: The longer the lamp burns, the shorter the user's lifespan.]

[Preservation conditions: Allow the oil lamp to burn continuously for twelve hours.]

Wang Yan's eyes lit up after reading the ability description.

This strange object has quite impressive abilities.

It meets his needs perfectly.

After pouring out the longevity fruit from the lamp.

Wang Yan lit the lamp.

A flame the size of a bean appeared.

The side effects of lighting the [Eternal Oil Lamp] began to appear immediately.

Wang Yan was prepared to accept his fate and let the years be reduced, since he was still going to live a long time anyway.

But what he didn't expect was that the [Ticket]'s [Outsider] ability would activate at this moment, directly blocking the side effect of reducing lifespan!

Looking at the collection conditions, the countdown of twelve hours has begun.

Wang Yan was somewhat surprised.

"This...works too?!"

But his joy lasted only a few seconds before he noticed the system radar had lit up.

[A Class S-rank artifact has been detected: a general merchandise pouch.]

Wang Yan's eyes turned cold.

The name of this strange object.

A peddler?!

The calamity that led to the sale of the weapon wielder and the strange artifact to Changsheng Town has arrived at this very moment.

At the edge of the radar, the dot representing the peddler was approaching at an alarming speed.

It was like teleportation; in a short while, it crossed mountains, forests, and ravines.

We arrived at a place less than a kilometer from Wang Yan.

Just as Wang Yan was about to put away the ever-burning oil lamp, a rattle drum sounded from the mountain path in front of him.

thump.

thump.

thump.

The voice was neither hurried nor slow.

A figure carrying a huge old cloth bag emerged from the shadows of the trees.

He was wearing a worn-out gray short jacket, cloth shoes, and small bells hanging from his shoulders.

The bag on his back was bigger than a person.

The bag was bulging, as if it contained a lot of things.

The peddler shakes a rattle drum while shouting out his wares.

"Time to sell!"

"Trade-in your old goods for new goods".

"Life for life, item for item."

"Honest and fair pricing, for everyone, young and old."

The peddler, seeing Wang Yan become wary, smiled and spoke.

"Sir, please don't be nervous. I'm just a salesperson; I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you!"

"What would you like to buy, sir? As long as you can afford it, I have everything you need."

Wang Yan, unsure of the other party's intentions, probed.

"Really? Then what would it cost if I took your life?"

The peddler wasn't angry at all.

I even thought about it seriously.

"What kind of transaction do you intend to use, sir?"

"For an SS-rank calamity like me with decent strength, if I trade the longevity fruit from the lamp in your hand, I'll give you a longevity fruit with a lifespan of ten thousand years."

"If we're using artifacts, two S-rank artifacts will suffice."

"If it's your life, then it's a life for a life."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of making a move, and that the Seven Deadly Sins Mask did not show any killing intent towards him.

Wang Yan did not act immediately.

This peddler's speed is abnormal, ridiculously fast.

Their strength is also unknown.

If a real fight breaks out, he might not be able to hold on, nor might he be able to defeat the enemy.

Wang Yan remained silent for a long time.

The peddler shook his rattle-drum, explaining his purpose.

"I originally came to make a deal with the Goddess of Fortune and Longevity."

"If a customer needs something to prolong their life, I will naturally help them find the right product."

"But now that Lady Fushou is dead in your hands, I have no choice but to make a deal with you."

Wang Yan said, "Want to make a deal with me?"

The peddler chuckled, "Of course! Judging from your upright character, sir, you surely wouldn't treat human life as worthless, would you?"

As he spoke, he patted the large bag on his back.

A very soft clattering sound came from inside the bag, along with a few screams.

Wang Yan's eyes grew even colder.

The peddler, however, seemed not to see anything and continued shaking his rattle.

"Hey! Please don't be angry, sir."

"Selling goods is about selling them if someone wants them."

"Nobody wants them, I'm losing money, so I have to get rid of those worthless items."

"If you, sir, find it unacceptable, you can also buy my life."

"I'll sell them myself if the price is right."

"So, sir, would you like to buy it?"

Wang Yan squinted.

"purchase!"

"Alright! Since you're a new customer, I'll give you a package deal: 50-year-old longevity fruit and two E-grade weapon wielders!"

"Cash on delivery!"

Wang Yan handed the longevity fruit to the peddler, who then threw out two extremely weak weapon-wielding men.

"Boss Wang Yan! We're sorry, we were waiting for you in the car, but somehow we got caught by this calamity."

"Feel sorry!"

They discovered that the two people were actually members of the Administration who had stayed in the supply truck.

Wang Yan's gaze toward the peddler grew even colder.

He can't kill the peddler now.

I'm not sure at all.

Since we can't kill it, let's extract information from it first.

Wang Yan suddenly asked, "You really sell everything?"

The peddler's smile deepened.

"Of course, the prices are fair, and we treat everyone fairly, young and old."

Wang Yan said, "The price for killing the SS-level calamity [Faceless God]."
