Chapter 317 Goodbye Bard

"What mysterious incident...? I don't understand, sir... As for the beef and milk you mentioned, oh, I admit that the environment and hygiene in the slaughterhouse are not good, but absolutely nothing has been done!"

Montero looked confused, and said obediently.

'Unaware...? '

Chen Lun thought to himself, narrowing his eyes slightly.

He then questioned the rest of the people, but the results were the same. They didn't seem to have been exposed to any mysteries, and they didn't know that there was a problem with beef and milk... They were even very proud, thinking that the new batch of live cows had something they had seen before. The best succulent. The milk presented by the supplier also tastes mellow and sweet.

Montero Slaughterhouse can earn more gold pounds in Peacock City with this high-quality meat and milk.

"Leader, what should we do next?"

Morey asked softly from the side.

Chen Lun pondered for a moment.

"You and Button go to Montero's office to see if you can find out where the so-called supplier came from through documents such as bills or purchase lists."

"Yes, Captain."

Morey and Patton looked at each other, nodded to Chen Lun and replied.

Afterwards, Chen Lun drove the hypnotized slaughterhouse boss Montero and his subordinates back to their respective positions... These ordinary people who didn't know were still in a dazed state and obediently turned around and left. It will return to normal after an hour, and will not remember anything about meeting Chen Lun and the others.

Watching Morey and Patton follow Montero away, Chen Lun himself went to the live cattle area to investigate.

As soon as he entered the large warehouse where the live cattle were placed, he smelled a strange smell of manure mixed with some rotting hay. Several workers who were busy in the cowshed, covered in stench and dirt, looked at Chen Lun suspiciously and nervously.

"Don't worry about me, keep busy."

Chen Lun chuckled, and the shell necklace on his chest shimmered.

The expressions of these workers changed instantly, and they turned around and started working again, seemingly ignoring his arrival. Chen Lun ignored these workers, stepped on the dirty black-brown mixture, and inspected the beef cattle one by one.

But the result was regrettable, and no abnormalities were found.

They appeared to be extremely healthy with no signs of mysterious contamination.

‘Where is the problem? '

Chen Lun was a little puzzled.

When he tried to communicate with these cows in animal language, he found something unusual, that is, these cows have no self-awareness at all... They seem to be a body without a soul, relying on instinct to eat and excrete, and live mechanically.

Even, they do not have the ability to reproduce.

This is not in line with common sense.

After a while.

Chen Lun walked out of the big warehouse of the bullpen, and Barton and Morey also came back with the results of the investigation.

"Leader, we found some clues in Montero's office. The latest batch of high-quality beef cattle comes from the farm area in the western suburbs of Kongque City, which is the industry of the "Jite Large Agricultural Group"."

Mo Lei held a list in his hand and handed it to Chen Lun.

"And we made an important discovery, that is, the person in charge of breeding beef cattle in the western suburbs is named 'Dolimu'!"

Chen Lun showed a surprised expression, took the list, and indeed found the name "Dolimu" on it, but he was not sure that this person was the farmer he had been looking for.

'In the original world line, Dolim never left his farm, but now due to unknown reasons, his family moved away... Could it be that he went to the western suburbs and joined the so-called agricultural group? '

He secretly guessed.

After thinking for a while, Chen Lun immediately wrote a letter, taking what happened here, and his speculation about beef and milk, all as a warning, and then asked Barton and Morey to return to the winery first. The letter was delivered to the secret mailbox of the Peacock City Shelter.

The beef and milk from the Montero Slaughterhouse in the past two days have been distributed to the market, and I don’t know how many people have bought and eaten them... But Chen Lun didn’t have the time to investigate. At most, he reminded the officials and let them solve these troubles.

After leaving the slaughterhouse.

Based on the clues, Chen Lun directly used "Cloud Leap" and came to the western suburbs in an instant.

Here is a vast grassland and countryside, where the agricultural area stands, and develops and expands along a tributary of the Weiling River. This place will not only provide the fresh ingredients needed by the residents of Peacock City, but also send the processed products to the port of the Eastern District, and then transport them to other cities by merchant ships for sale.

Chen Lun looked at the prosperous buildings in the western suburbs from a distance. Huge warehouses, shed roofs and fences, as well as neat wheat fields and vegetable fields, were arranged in an orderly manner within the fence.

Immediately, he walked straight forward, followed some buyers and caravan carriages, and entered the agricultural area. He made up some excuses casually, and fooled the reception staff sitting on the side of the gate, saying that he wanted to have a look inside and decide what to buy.

The reception staff saw that he was well dressed and behaved elegantly, so they didn't bother him too much, and even enthusiastically stated that the most outstanding products in the Gite agricultural area are beef and dairy products.

Chen Lun declined one of them's enthusiastic tour guide invitation, and wandered around the entire agricultural area alone.

‘Everything is normal, and there is no sign of mystery at all. '

After searching for a while, he thought to himself.

But when he was passing a simple farmhouse, Chen Lun heard a dull sound of blows and bangs from inside, accompanied by a man's suppressed scream.

"Damn guy, how did you sneak in?"

another man asked.

Bang bang!

Another two punches.

"Say it! Are you trying to steal something?!"

"This guy looks like a **** in dirty old clothes..."

Two men are interrogating and communicating.

"I'm not a tramp! I'm a great bard, Alex! You even slandered me for stealing! I don't bother to do such lowly things. I just come in to have a look and find inspiration for creation...Ah!"

There was the sound of punching and kicking again, as well as Alex's screams.

Chen Lun couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

‘Alexis…? '

He felt a bit familiar, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that when he left Emerald Town with Floyd for Amber City, he encountered robbers who arrested artisans in the wild near the city's outskirts.

At that time, he wiped out the bandit camp by himself, rescued a group of craftsmen, and had a brief contact with this bragging bard.

'go. '

As soon as Chen Lun raised his hand, his index finger fell off by itself, turned into a white snake and fell to the ground, and then crawled meanderingly, slipping in through the crack of the farmhouse door.

Through this white snake, he used his five senses to monitor the scene inside.

A dirty, blond bard was being **** in a corner, and two workers stood in front of him, beating him.

After a while of busy work, the two workers sat on chairs to rest, gasping for breath.

Obviously hitting people is also a physical job.

Alexis had a bruised nose and swollen face, spitting blood, and cursed at the two of them angrily.

But the two workers no longer had the energy to teach him a lesson. They just stared at the down-and-out bard with a sneer on their faces, as if they were thinking about how to deal with him.

"Come and eat, this guy is really resistant to beating, heh."

One of the workers took out the jerky in his pocket and shared some with his companions.

"I think back when we used to fight with people every day when we were in the Blue Sail Gang to make a living, but now we plunge into the fields, and it's a bit unfamiliar."

The latter smiled and ate it after receiving it.

"No, I thought I could squeeze something out of this guy, but he ended up with a piece of wood on his body. Maybe that fancy hat and cloak are worth a few coppers, but I'm too lazy to run for this little money. A grocery store in the city."

The two were eating jerky, playing with Alex's wooden harmonica, and laughed.

One of them smashed his mouth.

"Well, I said this jerky tastes really good, where did you get it?"

"Dolimu's place... hey, even the person in charge praised the quality of the beef cattle he raises."

Chen Lun stood outside the door for a while, probably understanding what happened. The two workers were former gang thugs. After seeing Alex sneaking in in the agricultural area, they planned to blackmail him, but because the other party was penniless, they beat him up.

He felt that there was no value in continuing to listen to these nonsense, and was planning to go in and put the two workers down, and then asked Alex how he knew his alias "Jack".

But at this time, a sudden change occurred!

In the farmhouse, the eyes of the two workers sitting on the chairs suddenly widened, their bodies began to congest with blood, and their veins were exposed... They fell to the ground with muffled noises as if they had suddenly suffered from a serious illness.

Then, like an ugly and disgusting maggot, he kept twisting his body.

Puff!

Their skin cracked, and countless tentacles of flesh and blood emerged from their bodies. The two of them became monsters amidst howling in pain. They got up uncontrollably and rushed towards Alex, the only living person in the room.

Alex saw the whole process of the shocking change, but because he was restrained, he couldn't escape at all, so he could only keep shrinking back, and finally stuck tightly to the corner of the wall.

"Two **** bastards... But even if you become monsters, don't try to eat me!"

Alex roared.

Two workers who turned into flesh and blood tentacle monsters distorted their faces and made creepy screams. They were about to grab and devour Alex in the next second.

The latter widened his eyes.

Next second.

A slender pale figure flashed past, and exploded with a bang, releasing a red wave of air.

The two flesh and blood tentacle monsters were instantly blasted away, and fragments of their limbs were sprayed on the wall. After just a few breaths, they were corrupted into a pool of black particle residue.

Alex raised his head and saw a gentleman in black standing in front of him.

"Jack?!"

He looked very surprised, and then burst out laughing.

"You are indeed my loyal fan, you even came all the way to save me..."

Alex showed a regretful expression in a blink of an eye.

"Unfortunately, I don't need your help. It's just two man-eating monsters. In my eyes, it's just a farce..."

"Oh, since that's the case, excuse me."

Chen Lun showed a polite smile, adjusted his hat, turned and left.

After walking a few steps, he seemed to remember something, stopped and turned his head to remind him:

"Speaking of which, your current appearance is quite suspicious, and there are two strange corpses beside you. I am afraid that you will spend your whole life in an asylum..."

Alex suddenly coughed loudly twice.

"Wait...wait! Can you loosen the rope for me first, my **** is itchy..."

He watched Chen Lun's back getting farther and farther away, and shouted anxiously:

"Jack! Help me! I can't get caught!"
