348: Chapter 342 Scum Sect Secret Record 348: Chapter 342 Scum Sect Secret Record Inside the side room, it was empty and extremely simple.
Aside from an old cabinet placed in the corner, the cotton quilts were in utter disarray, laid out on the floor.
The copper coins specifically used for divination appeared in Chen Hai’s hands.
He merely casually divined once, then walked over to the old cabinet and pulled out an iron box from inside it.
Upon opening the box, he glanced at the contents stored within.
Two stacks of banknotes and several more stacks of banknotes were neatly arranged inside the box.
Chen Hai roughly estimated, and these bills together should amount to about twenty to thirty thousand.
After closing the iron box again, he slightly moved the position of the old cabinet.
From a small hidden compartment behind the cabinet on the wall, he fished out a few bank books and a book written in traditional characters from modern times.
Placing the bank books casually inside the iron box, Chen Hai’s gaze fell on the book he had just acquired.
“Scum Sect Secret Record” was the title of the book.
Opening the cover of the book, the first page listed a trivial secret technique named “Flower Shooter.”
This technique merely required the concoction of a medicine, without any need for mana, and could be cast.
To cast this technique, one would silently recite a spell and then combine it with the medicine.
Then, with a light pat on someone else’s shoulder.
The target would become dazed and involuntarily obey the caster’s commands.
Of course, if the target’s willpower was too strong and their spirit vigorous, the efficacy of Flower Shooter would undoubtedly be minimal.
Generally speaking, those who knew this technique would target the elderly and children.
If they encountered a disoriented and listless-looking young person, they might also attempt it.
Such a disreputable secret technique, clearly not intended for righteous purposes, naturally did not interest Chen Hai.
After merely reading a brief introduction about the technique, he flipped directly to the back of the book.
“The so-called Scum Sect is simply a profession for the scum of humanity…” The more he read towards the back of the book, the uglier Chen Hai’s expression became.
Compared to the trivial technique of Flower Shooter, some of the evil techniques listed later were progressively more malicious.
Especially the latter ones that required mana to cast, their levels of cruelty were somewhat appalling.
“The evil techniques in this book are completely inhumane; such things should not be allowed to exist in this world!”
Chen Hai initially wanted to burn the book into ashes with a flame.
However, in the next moment, it seemed he remembered something, and the flames that had started to consume the book immediately extinguished.
Turning the book back to the last few pages, Chen Hai carefully read one of the evil techniques several times.
With his current realm of strength, understanding such a level of technique was as easy as a university student solving elementary school problems; it was hardly a challenge at all.
Several minutes later, Chen Hai closed his eyes, silently recalling the process of casting the technique, ensuring he had basically understood it.
Finally, the book in his hand completely turned into a flame.
Inside the main room, continuous groaning sounds could be heard.
Apart from the one devoured by the Hongming Blade, Brother Biao and Liu, along with a few others, had all collapsed on the floor.
Blood streaked their legs, and amongst them, two unlucky ones had their legs twisted into corkscrews.
Chen Hai had only instructed Tian Mingjian and Bai Xiaohang before entering the side room to keep as many alive as possible.
Therefore, Brother Biao, Liu, and the others were merely left with broken legs, but they were still alive and well.
Their wailing and screaming still sounded strong and forceful.
When laying hands on ordinary people, Tian Mingjian and Bai Xiaohang might feel a twinge of mercy.
But for Brother Biao, Liu, and their gang, who no longer deserved to be called human, breaking their legs evoked no pity from anyone present.
“Dong, Uncle Baoshan, take these kids and those few beggars to the side room first.”
“There’s food and drink inside, let them take whatever they want to eat or drink.”
“Also, take the money in this box and distribute it among them!”
After walking out of the side room, Chen Hai’s gaze briefly swept over Brother Biao and the others on the ground, who continued to groan miserably.
Seeing the small girls and boys huddled in a corner, looking at him with terrified faces and shivering, he sighed deeply, feeling a trace of reluctance.
Bringing them into the side room was mainly because he felt the scene was too bloody and not suitable for them to witness.
Letting them leave, he worried about potential accidents that might cause trouble for his group!
“Mm!” Bai Baoshan and Xiang Dong looked at each other and nodded, quickly springing into action.
Chen Hai, meanwhile, meandered over to Brother Biao and squatted down in front of him.
At this moment, apart from his own people, there were only those destined to die; the stocking over the head had already been ripped off by him.
“It’s you…” Brother Biao glared at Chen Hai with eyes that seemed ready to devour, teeth clenching noisily as he spoke.
At his age, he naturally wouldn’t have dementia.
The incident that occurred this afternoon, despite Chen Hai’s departing words claiming a case of mistaken identity, how could Brother Biao forget?
Knowing that he already had an ominous premonition at the time.
Just in case, he had immediately left with his men, never returning to Bao’an District.
“Good that you remember me, it’s been a long time since someone dared to threaten me right to my face, and I have a vivid memory of you!”
“Since you’ve recognized me, I believe you already know why I’m here!”
Expressionless, Chen Hai’s words carried a deep chill.
“Are those beggars with surname Huang your relatives?”
“I sawed off his legs myself, and I ripped out his tongue too, now that you know, what can you do?”
“Kill me?
Would I even frown to prove my bravery?”
“Call the police?
At most I’d serve ten or eight years, I’d welcome it!”
With an expression of utter disdain, Brother Biao stared at Chen Hai and cackled ominously.
“Kill you?
That would be letting you off too easily.
Call the police?
Do you think I’d let you enjoy a prison cell?”
“Just rest up, gather your strength, don’t rush!”
“Just now, inside that room, I found a book called ‘Scum Sect Secret Record’.”
“I burned the book myself, but I think what’s recorded inside is quite suitable for you!”
“For instance, the Beast Creation Technique described in it…”
Smirking coldly, Chen Hai spoke slowly and continued.
