Chapter 1190 The Strange Box
After knocking down the lobster soldier, Zhang Tuohai did not run away immediately. Instead, he ran over quickly and picked up the box that fell to the ground.
It was a palm-sized metal box, engraved with blood-red runes and emitting a hint of coldness.
A round hole opened at one end of the box, revealing a blood-red eye.
The eye seemed to be alive, and it kept turning around after Zhang Tuohai took it in his hand.
"Who are you?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
The metal box did not reply, but kept repeating: "Wanted criminal! Here is a wanted criminal of the Empire, with a reward of 100,000 dinars!"
"No way to communicate?" Zhang Tuohai threw him into the air and shot him.
Bang!
The metal box was hit by the pyrotechnic bullets and shattered into pieces.
Dududu——
A sharp whistle was heard in the distance, and a team of lobster soldiers on patrol blew their whistles and rushed over here.
"Let's go!" Zhang Tuohai released the dragon boat of the Viking Hero, and the Viking Hero rushed towards the lobster soldier patrol, while Zhang Tuohai took Yin Lishabeth and Linda and ran towards the port.
Zhang Tuohai was not afraid of the lobster soldiers. To him, these people were just there to deliver food, at least not in large numbers.
But the strange box in the hands of the lobster soldiers made Zhang Tuohai alert.
This strange thing can actually clearly identify a wanted criminal by just taking a picture of him. In terms of functionality, isn't this comparable to big data facial recognition?
Zhang Tuohai was able to wander around on the sea and wander freely in and out of the city thanks to the backward missing person technology of this era. There were no ubiquitous cameras, no online identity query function, and there was not even a photo on the ID card. He could only simply describe his physical characteristics with words.
In addition, the cost of forgery is very low, which gives Zhang Tuohai a lot of room to operate, allowing him to create five or six identities and switch between them freely.
In one second he was a pirate roaming the seven seas, in the next he was a law-abiding businessman, and then he could turn into a majestic officer of the Imperial Navy.
What identity you want depends entirely on what identity Zhang Tuohai wants to use first.
However, this operation seems to be stuck in Candy City.
With this strange box, he has nowhere to hide.
Zhang Tuohai now urgently needs to figure out whether this kind of box is a specialty of Candy City, or whether it is available in every city in the Dusk Sea.
What is the specific quantity? Is it very precious? Or can it be produced in large quantities?
It depends on his future plans.
He couldn't sleep or eat until he figured this out.
Of course, before all this, he had to send Elizabeth and Linda back to the ship.
These two are fine fighting alone, but they are much worse off facing the lobster soldiers armed with live ammunition. They are also prone to being injured by mistake, so it is better for them to return to the boat.
A group of people ran forward.
There were panicked pedestrians everywhere, and Zhang Tuohai, Yin Lishabai and Linda did not stand out among them.
We were getting close to the pier.
Suddenly, a group of lobster soldiers rushed out from the corner of the intersection ahead.
These lobster soldiers blocked the road in infantry lines. Each of them raised his musket with a bayonet hanging on the front end.
The commander of the lobster soldiers standing in front of all the infantry drew the rapier at his waist and shouted loudly: "Everyone stop moving forward immediately, hold your head and squat on the ground for inspection, otherwise everyone will be treated as wanted criminals and killed without mercy."
A merchant in gorgeous clothes held up a bag of money and said in a foreign accent, "I am a merchant from the tulip caravan. I have to return to the ship in a hurry . Please let me pass immediately. Your governor and I..."
puff!
Before the merchant could finish his words, a rapier was thrust into his throat.
Blood flowed out of the wound.
The businessman covered his neck in pain and couldn't say anything.
brush!
The lobster soldier commander drew his rapier, shook off the blood on it, and let the merchant's body fall to the ground.
"Whoever dares to break in will end up like this. Now, everyone, immediately squat down with your head in your hands. Anyone who is still standing there after three seconds will be treated as a wanted criminal!"
The lobster soldier commander shouted loudly.
The lobster soldiers behind him also put their hands on the trigger.
When the other people running on the street saw this scene, they all squatted down with their heads in their hands.
A court scholar slowly walked over from a distance, holding a metal box in his hand, exactly the same as the one Zhang Tuohai had just blown up.
"We can't wait any longer!"
Seeing this, Zhang Tuohai knew that if he continued to hide in the crowd, he would definitely be caught. The only way now was to take the initiative.
Zhang Tuohai glanced around and saw the green stone slabs all over the ground and came up with an idea.
“Daruma doll making!”
Zhang Tuohai used a skill.
Rays of white light enveloped the green stone slabs on the ground. All the extremely hard green stone slabs melted and turned into Dharmas less than half a meter tall, staring at the group of lobster soldiers with a fierce look.
The lobster soldiers were all stunned when they saw Damo suddenly appear, and were stunned by the strange sight before them.
But the Dharmas did not give them a chance to think. They jumped up from the ground one by one and smashed towards the lobster soldiers.
Although these Bodhidharmas are not tall, less than half a meter, they are made entirely of bluestone, and each piece weighs two to three hundred kilograms. If they are smashed down hard, no normal person can withstand it.
Crack, crack, a sound of bones breaking was heard.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of lobster soldiers were knocked to the ground.
Some had their legs broken, and the unlucky ones had their heads smashed and died .
The lobster soldier commander was the one who received special attention. He was hit by a headbutt from a Dharma and flew out, hitting the wall. A dent the size of a football appeared on his chest, and it was obvious that he was not going to survive.
The lobster soldiers were thrown into chaos after being suddenly attacked and their commander was killed.
Zhang Tuohai stood up and shouted, "There's a monster! Everyone, run! If we stay, we'll be killed by the monster!"
People tend to follow others blindly when they are in a panic. The fleeing crowd was already frightened by the series of events that happened one after another. When they heard Zhang Tuohai's call, they subconsciously chose to follow.
A group of people stood up from the ground and fled in all directions, directly dispersing the intercepting lobster soldier array.
“Go!”
Zhang Tuohai pulled Yin Lishabai and Linda and ran out together.
However, while running, Zhang Tuohai made a detour. He ran to the court scholar holding the square box, kicked the court scholar to the ground, and snatched the square box and the banned book from the other's hand.
