Chapter 94 Execution in Person! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

Finally, another mission!

Xu Zhiyi was overjoyed. She quickly took out her phone, snapped a picture of the group of women releasing animals, opened WeChat, found Captain Zhu's profile picture, and sent the photo to him.

Location attached.

He then sent a voice message: "Captain Zhu, there are people releasing plecos again near the Liangxi River Bridge. Would it be convenient for you to send someone over?"

After his previous dealings with the fishery administration officials, he knew that the issue of illegal release of animals fell under the direct jurisdiction of the fishery administration, and that their enforcement team arrested many such cases every year.

In serious cases, the case may even be transferred to the police for criminal prosecution!

Shortly after the message was sent, Captain Zhu called.

"Xiao Xu? Are you sure you're a cleaner?"

"I'm sure, I saw them. There were six people in total, and each of them had a bag of scavengers next to them. We just released one bag."

Xu Zhiyi recounted what she had seen truthfully.

Team Leader Zhu immediately perked up.

"These people really don't learn their lesson! Just last month, the law enforcement team caught a group of animals that had been released into the Liangxi River and even put up a sign by the river, but some people still defied the rules!"

"Xiao Xu, please keep an eye on them and don't let them get into a fight. I'll bring some men over right away!"

"clear."

Xu Zhiyi hung up the phone and put it back in her pocket.

Instead of walking over immediately, he first adjusted the angle of the action camera, then fixed it to the strap of his backpack, so that the lens was facing forward, directly at the group of elderly women by the river.

After doing all that, he slowly walked towards the river.

At that moment, the middle-aged women were standing by the river, their hands clasped together, muttering incantations.

"May the Bodhisattva have mercy and bless our whole family with peace and prosperity!"

"May my son be promoted and become wealthy!"

"May my grandson get into a good university!"

After reciting a set of prayers, the middle-aged woman in the floral dress bent down, picked up another bulging plastic bag at her feet, untied the rope, and prepared to pour it into the river.

"Auntie, wait a minute."

Xu Zhiyi quickened her pace and blocked her way.

The woman in the floral dress looked up and saw a tall, handsome young man carrying a bag. Curious, she asked, "Young man, what can I do for you?"

Xu Zhiyi pointed to the plastic bag in her hand, "I just want to remind you that the fish you released is an invasive species called a pleco."

There are explicit national regulations prohibiting the release of this type of fish into rivers.

"What do you mean by 'foreign' or 'outsider'? Aren't they all fish?"

The gentle expression on the woman in the floral dress vanished, replaced by displeasure and irritability. She waved her hand impatiently, "Get out of here! Releasing animals is an act of charity; what do you, a mere child, know?"

"Exactly!" chimed in the middle-aged woman with glasses next to her. "The fish we bought are specifically for eating garbage. Releasing them in the river helps purify the water. We're doing a good deed!"

Xu Zhiyi had anticipated this, and calmly pointed to the blue sign with white lettering standing by the river.

"Auntie, look over there."

Several middle-aged women looked in the direction he was pointing.

The sign had several lines of large characters written on it:

Illegal release of animals is prohibited.

The release of invasive species such as plecos, alligator gars, and red-eared sliders into the wild is strictly prohibited.

Those who violate this rule will be held legally responsible.

The woman in the floral dress glanced at it, pursed her lips, and didn't take it to heart. "We release animals to accumulate merit and do good deeds, not to make money. Even if the police come, what can they do?"

"That's right, that's right!"

Several middle-aged women nodded in agreement, appearing completely unafraid.

A middle-aged woman in a red tracksuit walked over and looked Xu Zhiyi up and down. "Young man, you're so young, why do you like to meddle in other people's business?"

What kind of fish we release is our business. You can go your own way; what's it to you?

The middle-aged woman with glasses also came over, her face darkening, and said, "Young man, if you have nothing else to do, you'd better leave now—"

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly noticed the action camera on Xu Zhiyi's backpack and her expression changed instantly. "Wait! Are you filming us right now?"

Turn that off right now! Who gave you permission to film this? Do you know you're violating my privacy?

"Turn it off now!"

"Turn it off right now! Or don't blame us for being impolite!"

Upon hearing that there was a camera, several middle-aged women excitedly gathered around.

Xu Zhiyi took a step back to avoid their tugging and smiled, saying, "It seems you also know that releasing cleaner animals is illegal, otherwise you wouldn't have specifically chosen to release them late at night, and you wouldn't have gotten so agitated when you saw the camera."

You were just hoping for the best, thinking that since it was nighttime, the police were off duty, and there weren't many people by the river, you could release the fish and leave without anyone noticing—unfortunately, I recorded it all.”

Upon realizing their little scheme had been exposed, the women became furious and embarrassed.

"Don't you know any rules? You're asking for trouble!"

"Don't you have any self-awareness? You're making a big fuss!"

"Completely ignorant! God is ignorant!"

"Thirteen o'clock!"

Xu Zhiyi pointed to the action camera, "Aunties, this is all being recorded. Can we please stop swearing in Wuxi dialect? If this gets uploaded online, won't it embarrass Wuxi?"

The woman wearing glasses became even more enraged.

"Stop talking nonsense! Turn that off right now, or I'll smash it!"

"Yes! Smash it!"

"Young people these days are outrageous; they have absolutely no respect for the elderly!"

At this moment, the woman in the floral dress suddenly picked up the plastic bag in her hand and shouted, "Let him take pictures! Let him take pictures! We're doing a good deed, what's there to be afraid of?!"

"Quickly release the fish, then we'll leave!"

As she spoke, she poured the fish and water from the plastic bag directly into the river.

"Thump~"

Another dozen or twenty cleaners slid into the water.

The moment she released the fish, Xu Zhiyi, without a word, pulled out his slingshot and harpoons, and fired a harpoon. Then, he secretly activated his sword control technique, and under the cover of night, fired three more harpoons.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

His harpoon was already in the air when the cleaners were still flying.

"Whoosh!"

The harpoon transformed into a dark flash and instantly disappeared into the water!

Several splashes of water erupted on the surface.

Xu Zhiyi's movements were astonishingly fast, the whole process was smooth and seamless, and by the time the women reacted, four Qingdaoguan boats were already floating belly up on the water.

All the scavengers were hit in the head by the harpoon, their skulls were pierced, and although they did not die on the spot, they were immediately paralyzed, and death would only take a few seconds.

Sure enough, as he secretly controlled the three harpoons to fly out of the water and silently into the side pocket of his backpack, the game panel's notification finally arrived:

Congratulations to the player for successfully defeating one Outland Water Sprite.

[Experience points +50]

Congratulations to the player for successfully defeating one Outland Water Sprite.

[Experience points +50]

[Current Quest Progress: Outland Water Sprite (4/20)]

Current experience points: Lv.7 (1730/7000)

Xu Zhiyi's lips curled up slightly.

This was the first time he had used three harpoons to hunt plecos at the same time, and so far the results were quite good. Including the pleco he shot with his slingshot, he had killed four plecos in one go.

Unfortunately, the remaining cleaner fish have already gone into deep water and probably won't dare to surface again anytime soon.

"What are you doing!"

By this time, the older women had realized what was happening.

Especially the middle-aged woman in the floral dress, who threw the plastic bag on the ground with great force and angrily pointed at Xu Zhiyi, cursing, "Do you have any conscience? Do you have any shame?!"

After speaking a couple of sentences in Xicheng dialect, she switched back to Mandarin and looked at Xu Zhiyi, questioning, "Do you understand that this is killing? This is a sin!"

"If you want to eat fish, why don't you go to the market to buy it? These are fish we released!"

"You're ruining our good deeds!"

The middle-aged woman wearing glasses rushed over, trembling with anger. "The fish we painstakingly released, you killed them all! You—you're heartless!"

"What merit?"

Xu Zhiyi put away her slingshot and said slowly, "Releasing invasive species and destroying the local ecosystem is not a good deed, it's more like a sin."

"You—you're talking nonsense!"

The woman in the floral dress was furious, her face flushed and her neck bulging. "What do you know! We're doing a good deed! You killed the fish, you're the one who's committing a sin! You'll get your retribution!"

"retribution?"

Xu Zhiyi smiled.

He pointed to the camera on his backpack.

"Auntie, I recorded everything that just happened. I'll post it online later and let everyone judge whether I or you are the ones who committed the crime."
