"Today's cold attack was so strange. How come it disappeared so quickly?"

Three novice magicians from the White City Magic Academy were currently sitting by the fireplace in the hall with Huang Jun, the owner of the Tide Inn.

Huang Jun glanced upstairs and replied absentmindedly, "I don't know. The three distinguished guests, please rest here first. I'll go upstairs and take a look."

'Boom—'

There was a loud noise, the door opened, and an ugly fish monster walked in step by step from outside the door.

The fish monster's skin was covered with pustules, and even bluish-gray pus was oozing out. Its scales pierced into its skin like barbs.

It walks upright on its legs, leaving deep marks on the ground with every step.

Seeing the fish monster not upstairs but walking in from outside the door, Huang Jun's face turned pale instantly. The three magic students quickly stood up, holding magic wands in their hands and ready for battle.

"Don't worry, boss. We're here. Find a place to hide!"

Huang Jun forced himself to calm down. He looked at the three magic apprentices with an expectant look on his face and said, "Then, it's up to the three wizards!"

Luo Cheng smiled shyly, holding the magic wand in one hand and touching his earlobe with the other hand shyly: "I, we are not wizards yet."

Huang Jun: "But now in my heart, the three of you are great wizards. Please don't underestimate yourselves. You are all young talents and will become wizards one day. I am just calling you in advance. Besides, you saved me today, so in my heart, you three are no different from real wizards!"

Chao Hai was arrogant by nature, and when he heard Huang Jun's words, he instantly felt that he was not a magic apprentice but a real wizard.

He waved his hand and said, "Just wait and see, shopkeepers! We'll take care of the fish monster right away!"

Chao Hai rushed forward first, his eyes flashing with great confidence. He waved the magic wand in his hand, and a green light flew towards the fish monster.

The green light was like a flash of lightning, striking the fish monster's chest. Tiny sparks made a crackling sound on its chest.

The fish monster blinked and looked down. The spark was jumping up and down like a flea, very annoying. Just as it was about to swat it out, Chao Hai excitedly shouted, "It works! Everyone, use the Thunder and Fire Technique to attack it!"

The fish monster looked at the excited young man blankly.

Chao Hai really thought it was useful, so he quickly called on his friends to use the Thunder and Fire Technique. Huang Jun was preparing to plot against them, but slowly put his hands down.

'what--'

With a tragic cry, the fish monster slapped Chao Hai, who ran up to attack it, and sent him flying, then slowly extinguished the sparks on its chest.

Tian Meng and Luo Cheng were frightened and staggered back. Just as the fish monster was running towards them quickly, a fire dragon flew out, wrapped around its waist and pulled it out.

"Father!"

Huang Jun reacted quickly and chased after him. He cast the magic circle in his hands without hesitation and knocked Xiao Yifei's little fire dragon away.

Luo Cheng turned around and looked at Tian Meng stupidly: "Boss, who is the boss calling?"

Tian Meng: "It can't be a fish monster, right?"

Chao Hai: "What are you two thinking about? It must be the person who saved us just now. How could the boss, who is such a good person, call the fish monster father? Idiot, come and help me quickly. Let's go out and see how the boss's father subdued the fish monster!"

"Oh, good!"

The three young men supported each other and walked out.

Outside the door, Xiao Yifei's little fire dragon was standing proudly on his shoulder.

The fish monster was on the ground. Huang Jun stopped him and said, "My lords, please let my father live!"

Sang Chu walked past the crowd and stood in front of Huang Jun, looking at the dying fish monster: "He is your father? So, he is also the subject of the experiment?"

Huang Jun looked up suddenly: "You, how do you know about the experiment?"

"Now I'm asking you, tell me, how many people like him are there in your little fishing village now?"

Tian Meng and the other two had already recognized Sang Chu. Seeing that she was surrounded by so many people and had subdued the fish monster, they wished they could shrink their bodies, hoping that she would forget that they had fought with her for her house.

Huang Jun collapsed to the ground, looking at Xiao Yifei who had defeated him in one move, and said through gritted teeth, "Not much."

Sang Chu smiled. "We've caught ten so far, eleven in total, including your father. That's not much, is it? Are you planning to feed them with the guests who come and go, or are you planning to feed them with the other ordinary people in the small fishing village?"

"So what if that's the case! If it weren't for you high-ranking wizards, how could my father, my mother, and my aunt become what they are now? You deserve it for having to feed them with you!"

Huang Jun roared in rage, unable to contain himself. Chao Hai was startled by his frantic look. "What does this have to do with wizards?"

"Hahaha, what does it matter? It matters a lot." He smiled bitterly with red eyes, struggled to stand up from the ground and looked at Sang Chu: "Don't you know they are test subjects? Then how come you don't know the reason for this experiment?"

Sang Chu: "Mermaid."

"Yes, it's a mermaid. One year, my uncle went out to sea and caught a little mermaid. He felt sorry for her and let her go, but she became stained with the scent of a mermaid. Coincidentally, a wizard came to stay at our inn. He pretended to be friendly and got to know the location where the mermaid was caught. After the cold snap, he went out to sea without stopping, but he actually caught her."

Sang Chu: "Is that wizard Wu Qi?"

Huang Jun glanced at her, seeming a little surprised that she still knew about Wu Qi, but it didn't matter now.

He continued, "No, that was just one of Wu Qi's team. After he caught the mermaid, he dismembered her and put the meat into his ring. My uncle and the others didn't know about it and just thought he had caught some magical fish. After all, there are many strange creatures in the deep sea."

Everyone looked at him intently, waiting for his next words, but he paused like a storyteller and did not speak for a long time.

Sang Jingwen: "Did he treat the human fish meat as ordinary fish and give it to your family to eat?"

Seeing someone say that, Huang Jun slumped to the ground with a wry smile. "Not only that, he gave the mermaid meat as ordinary fish to many people. I don't like eating fish, so I escaped. Later, as you all saw, my father and the others turned into fish monsters and were captured."

Sang Chu: "Were they captured after they turned into fish monsters first?"

"Ah."

Huang Jun's words overturned all of Sang Chu's previous speculations. If Wu Qi first turned into a fish monster and then entered the Witch Hospital, then Wu Qi might not be the person behind the Witch Hospital.
