Chapter 874: The Simple Town of Casserti
Following the direction indicated by Lao Zheng, Lin Yu quickly found "Casetti".
It was a town located in the center of the Sixth Island. The architectural style was somewhat similar to the insane asylum on the Thirty-seventh Island that Lin Yu had seen before.
The gray cement houses were square, like boxes put together. Most of the exterior walls were dilapidated, and the cracks were filled with white powder, which was probably the bone meal that Lao Zheng mentioned was abundant in the Sixth Island.
A new, low brick wall was being built around the town. The bricks were of different sizes and irregular shapes, as if they had been directly taken from some collapsed houses.
Lin Yu walked around the brick wall and found the entrance to "Casetti".
There is no gate, the brick wall just stops here, forming a gap, which becomes the gate.
Lin Yu walked in through the gap and then saw the residents of "Casetti" - although they could basically be seen as human beings, there were still certain differences between them and humans.
Several tall and thin residents covered in scales were walking between the buildings.
They saw Lin Yu walking in swaggeringly, but they just took a glance and didn't do anything else.
Although Lin Yu's appearance was completely different from theirs, they seemed to have become accustomed to visits from such strange people.
after all……
In Kirishima, every creature looks so different, so anyone who is not a member of the tribe looks weird.
Especially on a large island like the Sixth Island, other islanders often visit, so naturally they become accustomed to seeing people who are "not of their own ethnic group."
However, although these people wearing scale armor ignored Lin Yu, Lin Yu took the initiative to find them.
"Excuse me, please."
Lin Yu walked forward, found a scale-armored man who looked relatively friendly, and started talking to it.
The scaled man looked at Lin Yu with a puzzled expression on his face.
"what happened?"
"I want to find the owner of this island."
Lin Yu directly stated his purpose.
The scale-armored man showed a surprised expression on his face: "Island owner? What island owner?"
"I've lived here for over sixty years, and I've never heard of any island owner!"
After hearing what the other party said, Lin Yu thought for a moment and then said, "Then who is in charge here?"
The scale-armored man laughed. "Which island are you from? You must be from one of the smaller islands with lower numbers! You're so unworldly!"
"We on the Sixth Island are different from you. Our island has never had anyone in charge. Everyone is their own boss."
As he spoke, the Scaled Man looked at Lin Yu and sized him up again: "Don't ask others this kind of question anymore. It will make you look... not very smart."
Hearing the Scaled Man's words, which seemed harmless but actually made him feel even more uncomfortable, Lin Yu laughed.
"Thank you for your reminder, but..."
The next moment, Lin Yu suddenly jumped up, grabbed the scaled man's neck which was covered with armor plates and pushed him against the wall.
Then, he took out the [Three-Minute Lie Detector] and the [Guaranteed Hit Revolver].
The red light on the polygraph flashed, proving that nothing the Scaled Man had said was true.
The revolver was pressed against his eye socket to ensure that he would not lie again.
"You dare to play tricks on me? Do you know who I am?"
Lin Yu said fiercely, pulling the hammer of the revolver.
"Can you recognize this thing, Troublemaker?"
The scaled man nodded desperately.
"It's fine if you're just messing around with other people, after all, that's just the nature of you bastards," Lin Yu exhaled, "but I'm asking you something serious. I've come to see your boss—can you afford to delay your boss's business?"
As Lin Yu spoke, the scale-armored man shook his head desperately again.
Looking at the frightened look of the Scaled Man, Lin Yu nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, it seems you have figured out the situation."
"Answer my questions truthfully. If you lie to me again, I'll hack your head apart and cut it off to ask someone else. After all, you have many companions here, and with the threat of your head, the chances of them lying should be much smaller."
The scaled man nodded vigorously.
Lin Yu was even more satisfied: "Very good, then I will start asking questions and you start answering..."
As he spoke, the Scaled Man began to shake his head again.
"Shake the hammer head, don't I give you time to prepare?"
"Tell me, where does your boss live?"
As Lin Yu spoke, the scale-armored man continued to shake his head vigorously.
"You're so stubborn. Do you think that not speaking means you're not lying? If you refuse to answer my questions, I'll still blow your head off!"
"Why, you have feelings for the person in charge here, don't you?"
As Lin Yu spoke, the scale-armored man shook his head vigorously again and pushed Lin Yu's hand that was pinching his neck.
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then let go of his hand.
The scaled man gasped: "Brother, brother, how can I speak with your voice pinched?!"
Lin Yu was helpless: "How would I know your physiological structure? I am not of the same race as you."
He said this, and then the scaled man in front of him showed a sly smile.
"Really? Then..."
"Shh!"
The scales on his body suddenly flashed with a strange light, and then the color changed to a gray color that was almost the same as the wall behind him. The whole person seemed to be almost invisible.
Then, Lin Yu felt that the other person's body suddenly swam like a snake and was about to slip out of his hands.
Just as he was about to grab the other person, he suddenly felt a dazzling white light flash before his eyes, blocking his sight.
"Bye!"
The scaled man's voice came from all directions, sounding very proud.
Lin Yu, despite being dazzled and unable to hear any sound to determine his location, calmly took out his dagger and stabbed it hard in the front right direction.
Then, the white light in front of him faded away, and Lin Yu watched the scaled man whose hand he had nailed reappear and howl in pain on the ground.
"Ah-ah-!"
Lin Yu squatted down, put one foot on the dagger, and exerted a little force to push the dagger a little deeper.
Then, Lin Yu spoke calmly.
"You think I'm kidding you? I think you're really tired of living."
There was endless fear in the eyes of the scaled man.
"You, you, you, you...how did you find me?"
"I'm already in Kirishima. Can I really rely on sight and hearing to find someone?" Lin Yu sighed. "Your active mind is as obvious to me as the light of a cell phone placed under a desk in an evening study room when the power suddenly goes out."
"Anyway, I'll give you one last chance: where is the person in charge here?"
