Chapter 554: Chapter 16: Accomplices in Crime

This scene left Hai Yunlan stunned.

The stone smashed down heavily on the man’s shoulder, and he screamed in agony.

Then, he shouted, "Kill me, you guys kill me!"

"Very good," the leader of Wumianhui patted Su Wen’s shoulder, saying, "This is the correct way to deal with criminals."

"Yes, you’re right," Su Wen agreed.

After that, the head of Wumianhui turned to Hai Yunlan, who stood behind Su Wen, and said, "What about you?"

"She, let her be," Su Wen quickly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed them over, and said, "She’s timid, so... it’s better to skip her in these bloody affairs."

"That won’t do," the Wumianhui leader pointed to the tied-up man behind him and said, "Do you know what this criminal’s charges are?"

"No, we don’t know."

"Then listen very carefully. His crime is attacking members of Wumianhui and attempting to remove our masks to look at our identities. Anyone who dares to pry into the identities of our Wumianhui members is committing the gravest sin. Now, he has shown the black omen and will soon descend into hell. Another black skeleton will be added to this island. What we need to do is choose the most suitable execution ground for him."

Hearing this, Hai Yunlan suddenly felt as if her brain were about to split open!

The scene before her seemed eerily familiar!

She had seen this scene before!

And...

"Yun Lan... we can only throw stones at them..."

"If we could know their identities..."

She began to vaguely recall something!

The first sentence had been spoken by the woman in white!

The second sentence had been her own words!

Identity...

She, like the bound man, had once tried to uncover the identity of the person behind the black mask!

"To throw stones at the criminal, of course, you can’t kill him. He must stay alive, to become a black skeleton," the person with the black mask said coldly to Hai Yunlan without accepting the cigarette box, "If you don’t throw a stone, it means you sympathize with the criminal. To sympathize with the criminal is to share in his guilt! We will soon find out your identity, don’t underestimate our intelligence capabilities."

Hai Yunlan could see clearly that these people were all armed with guns.

If they wanted, they could shoot her dead at any moment.

She had no choice but to bend down and pick up a stone from the ground.

Then, she took steps forward.

"I warn you," the person with the black mask added, "you have to hit the target; otherwise, it can still be considered that you sympathize with the criminal."

At that moment, the so-called criminal roared, "You beasts are the real criminals! My daughter, just eight years old, was taken by you for your amusement, you..."

The black-masked man turned around and punched the man hard on the jaw!

The man immediately spat out a mouthful of blood!

Two teeth fell to the ground.

But even then, he continued glaring fiercely at the man with the black mask, saying, "It’s a pity, I was so close to seeing your faces... Just one look at your faces... and there would’ve been a way to find out your names... Even if I could only uncover one or two, I would expose your names! In this town, everyone despises you members of Wumianhui to the bone! You are the ones who should become black skeletons! Just like Dan Cha! Hahahahaha!"

"Aim for his forehead!

Suddenly the man with the black mask grabbed his head and roared at Hai Yunlan, "Hit him on the head now, immediately, right this second! Or, I will pronounce you a criminal as well!"

Another black-masked person hurriedly advised, "Wait a second, this isn’t right, what if he gets killed by the stone? He must stay alive until he turns into a black skeleton!"

"Enough talk! Throw!"

Hai Yunlan felt her whole body trembling.

The stone, once thrown, could hit the other person’s head, potentially lethal.

At that moment, Su Wen walked over and whispered in her ear, "Forget it, just listen to them, this man is already showing the black sign, he’s bound to die."

Then she remembered Lu Ningyuan, who had gone for surgery.

No, it wasn’t a certain death!

If one could get to Hospital 444, there might still be hope!

There might still be hope!

But, would the person before her give her the chance to save him?

Even if she wanted to call for emergency services now, it was futile, as her own phone was locked! The previous calls had been made with the landline at home!

"He is bound to die. You, just throw it. He will quickly turn into a black skeleton, and no body that can be examined will be left behind. Black skeletons can’t be examined for any human DNA, and won’t be identified as human remains. Even if you kill him now, when the time comes, he’ll still become a black skeleton."

At that moment, Hai Yunlan suddenly understood why the black-masked people insisted on making her do this.

Because they were forcing her to become an accomplice.

Holding the stone, throwing it could potentially make her a murderer.

Yes, if he died and turned into a black skeleton, even a forensic expert couldn’t determine anything.

She bit her lip tightly, her body beginning to shake.

She had no choice.

In the end, she could only lift the stone.

Just then, the bound man suddenly shouted, "I know your name! If you dare throw that, I will tell everyone during the parade that you are part of the Wumianhui!"

Upon hearing this, she paused abruptly.

Su Wen’s face turned ugly too, and suddenly, he took the stone and quickly walked over to the man, lifted the stone, and smashed it hard onto his head!

Then, another blow came down!

"Enough!"

The black-masked person grabbed Su Wen’s arm, saying, "I didn’t tell you to kill him! The sinner should live and wait for his punishment to come!"

"Is this enough?" Su Wen’s face was covered in sweat now: "I said, is it enough?"

The black-masked person beside him said, "Let it be, that’s enough."

"Yes, we can’t delay the parade with the sinner later."

"Yes, let’s go."

"Fine, you’re lucky. But, you must remember, telling her, any act of sympathy towards the sinner is complicity in crime!"

After the group of black-masked people left, Hai Yunlan almost collapsed on the ground.

"This is... the secret of this town..."

Su Wen crouched down, looked at the ashen-faced Hai Yunlan, and said, "Sorry, I had no other choice. If I hadn’t done it, what awaited me would have been..."

"I know, I understand how you feel."
