350: Chapter 344: Destroy the Corpse and Erase the Traces 350: Chapter 344: Destroy the Corpse and Erase the Traces Before, Liu’s legs had already been forcibly broken by Tian Mingjian and Bai Xiaohang.
Perhaps for this reason, after he was transformed into a dog through the Beast Creation Technique, he also became a lame, old dog.
His two front legs supported the ground, while his crippled hind legs couldn’t hold his body up and could only drag along the floor.
After becoming an old dog, he had a look of utter despair, and within those canine eyes twinkled an indescribable glow, complex to the extreme.
The most cruel aspect of the Beast Creation Technique lies in the fact that the person turned into a dog still retains all their human memories.
Knowing one’s self to be human, yet trapped within the body of a dog and subjected to its bestial instincts—this condition is truly worse than death.
Just like now, Liu, transformed into a lame old dog, was compelled to drag his weakened limbs, inching toward the corner of the wall.
On normal days, Brother Biao, Liu, and the others would sleep on the floor bedding in the side room.
The outer area served as temporary lodging for the beggars and that group of youths.
With around a dozen people living there, to prevent them from escaping, the main door was kept firmly locked.
As the saying goes, nature calls; those sleeping in the main room would have emergencies at night and, unable to go out, could only resort to relieving themselves in the corner of the wall.
Driven by instinct, Liu dragged his mangled body over to the wall corner, staggered there, then flopped onto the ground.
Then, as if savoring the most exquisite delicacy, he stuck out his tongue and began to frantically lick at the nearly congealed yellow-brown substance left in the corner, one lick following another.
This entire scene unfolded without anything escaping the eyes of Brother Biao.
Remembering that he would soon become like this, his entire being had already turned ashen.
“Brother Biao, this Beast Creation Technique is quite simple.”
“After seeing this technique in the ‘Scum Sect Secret Record,’ I just tinkered with it on my own!”
“Look, my first attempt at using this secret technique, and I succeeded in casting it straight away!”
Observing Liu’s behavior for a bit, Chen Hai turned his head back, grinning at Brother Biao.
A dog crippled in its hind legs wobbles as it walks, its speed definitely more than half slower than that of an average person walking normally.
Such a dog poses virtually no threat to the average person.
After all, with their sluggish pace, a child of five or six could break into a run and leave it behind in an instant.
Of course, if there are dog lovers who pity the poor animal and approach to get closer, whether they might get bitten is another story!
“Great sirs, please spare me, spare my life!”
“You want me dead, I accept that, just grant me a quick end and don’t use the Beast Creation Technique on me!”
“I can tell you honestly the passwords for those bankbooks!”
…
Trembling with fear, Brother Biao continued to speak.
He no longer harbored any thoughts of surviving.
For him, to avoid being subject to the Beast Creation Technique and turned into an old dog was his greatest hope.
“The little bit of money in your bankbooks, I do not covet.”
“Liu is over there, eating his fill in the corner; don’t you think he’s a bit lonely?”
“He’s been so loyal to you; don’t you think it would be impolite not to join him?”
With a look of disdain, Chen Hai curled his lip.
Wearing an inexplicable smile, he picked up the remaining dog hide and walked over to Brother Biao in a few steps.
Just within a few breaths of time, the dog’s head portion of the dog skin had been placed over Brother Biao’s head.
At this point, even if Brother Biao had a mouth, he could only bark a few “woof woof woof”.
Ten minutes later, he was completely wrapped in the dog skin, his entire body had transformed into an old black dog.
Ordinary stray dogs might roam around Sand Well Town for years and live quite long.
After the transformation, both Brother Biao and Liu had crippled hind legs.
Such old dogs, hindered in movement, would struggle to find food and certainly wouldn’t survive many days.
In an era where most people still hovered around the poverty line, those who were full and idle, the kind-hearted who would meddle without cause, existed but undoubtedly few in number.
On the other hand, those workers whose diets were poor and rarely saw much fat in their meals were certainly numerous.
Coming across these two disabled old dogs, perhaps they would be thrilled at the sight and, after killing them, take them back for a stew!
What might happen later was beyond Chen Hai’s control.
All he knew was that seeing Brother Biao and Liu turn into dogs had given him considerable satisfaction.
Bai Xiaohang, Tian Mingjian, and the others, watching the shocking scene of two living people transforming into crippled old dogs, involuntarily gasped for air, unable to speak for a long while.
For scum worse than wild beasts, like Brother Biao’s group, any treatment would seem fitting.
Their silence did not stem from the belief that Chen Hai’s actions were excessive, but purely from shock.
Of course, following their shock, the look they gave Chen Hai was unmistakably filled with awe.
“Boss, what should we do with the remaining guys?”
“Maybe I should take another round outside to see if I can snag a few more dogs!” Bai Baoshan was the first to break the silence after a while.
“It’s already close to midnight, quite late.”
“I think we should drop the idea of catching dogs!”
“For the remaining people, you take action, wipe them all out!” Lifting his wrist to check the time on his watch, Chen Hai instructed.
The two previous dogs, from their appearance, were clearly not mere strays.
Where Bai Baoshan got them from was something Chen Hai did not inquire further about, though he could roughly guess.
With his mind full of positive energy and thoughts of socialist core values, he naturally didn’t want Bai Baoshan to engage in theft or dog snatching again for a few pieces of dog skin.
After a brief pause, Chen Hai took out several Corpse Transformation Talismans and handed them to his subordinates, instructing them before he turned and walked away from the bungalow.
Since they intended to kill, he naturally wouldn’t forget to have his men dispose of the bodies.
The purpose of the Corpse Transformation Talisman was exactly this.
Without a body, there would be no grieving party, and those locked in the side room, all minors, wouldn’t be able to explain anything to the police should they report the incident later.
After all, what exactly had become of Brother Biao and Liu?
These minors had not witnessed it.
Perhaps, they might even think that the demonic Brother Biao and his gang had been driven off by another group.
As for Chen Hai and others, the girls and boys had not seen their faces.
There were far too many with the same name in Yanhuang Country.
With only a few names known, and not full names at that, even if they reported to the police, it would be challenging to get any leads!
In this era, for crimes committed on the move, unless caught on the scene, they often resulted in no consequences.
The Corpse Transformation Talisman could clean up the dead completely.
Without any bodies, any report to the police about this incident would only be considered a gang brawl, not treated as a murder case.
As for his cousin Huang Yong, Chen Hai instructed Tian Mingjian to knock him out and then take him directly into the car.
