Chapter 876 – Chen Yangrong

　　”This behemoth’s mouth, there’s a living person?”

　　Calan looked at the slash that ran through the behemoth’s mouth, and after the chipped fangs, its oral cavity was so dark in the deep waters that nothing could be seen at all.

　　”To be precise, it’s in its stomach.” Lin Qiye gazed at the behemoth’s mouth, his eyes brightening slightly, “I think I’ve found that item.”

　　He patted the lantern fish underneath him and communicated with it with his mind, and in the next moment, the two of them were shrouded in a pale yellowish shimmering light as they slowly flew into the behemoth’s mouth.

　　The size of the beast was really too big, even its mouth was the size of an ordinary stadium, through the lantern fish’s light illumination, Caleb could still clearly see the hidden teeth inside its mouth, jaggedly staggered around, which was also mixed with some large fish bone fragments.

　　After passing through its mouth, the lantern fish followed the esophagus all the way downstream, I don’t know how long it took, they came to a dim space that seemed endless, countless fish bones and a large number of weirdly shaped biological bones, floating in the air, like a huge white bone graveyard, an inexplicable putrid stench filled the air.

　　”This is its stomach?” Jia Lan wrapped his arm around Lin Qiye’s waist, observing the surroundings through the shimmering light of the lantern fish, and asked with some curiosity, “This is too big, isn’t it?”

　　”It’s one of its stomachs.” Lin Qiye added, “It has four other stomachs like this.”

　　Calan’s mouth opened wide in shock.

　　As the lantern fish advanced, a blood-colored wall of flesh vaguely appeared in the darkness in the distance.

　　The surface of this wall of flesh was uneven, and there seemed to be some green gastric fluid adhering to it, and the wall extended infinitely in all directions, wrapping around the entire space.

　　Here, was the edge of this stomach.

　　With the help of the dim light from the lantern fish, Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the center of the meat wall.

　　There, a figure that was about to be engulfed by the wall of meat was hanging alone in the air, his lower half of his body completely wrapped in the flesh and blood of the wall of meat, his upper half of his body was naked and exposed, his head hung low, and a single strand of his pale hair fluttered amongst the fishy seawater, like a corpse.

　　It was an old man that Lin Qiye had never seen before.

　　However, at this moment, Lin Qiye’s gaze was not on that old man, but rather on the old man’s chest ……

　　Above the old man’s dry, thin, and wrinkled chest, a familiar long knife, deeply pierced into his body, and at the end of that long knife floated a brilliant circle of flowing light, not subject to the resistance of seawater, slowly and elegantly rotating slowly, making it impossible for people to move their eyes from just looking at it.

　　During the rotation of that ring of streaming light, the passage of years seemed to have come to a standstill, with the past and the future being intertwined in that tiny ring, like an articulated serpent with its head and tail joining together, mysterious and powerful.

　　Lin Qiye recognized this blade.

　　[Eagle Duck].

　　”Isn’t that blade ……” At the same time, Jia Lan similarly saw that blade and spoke with some doubt.

　　”Hmm.” Lin Qiye nodded, “That’s King Face’s personal sword.”

　　”Why is his sword here? Where is he?”

　　”This shouldn’t be King Face’s sword …… No, I should say that this isn’t the sword of the King Face we know.” Lin Qiye gazed at the mysterious circle suspended at the end of the [Eagle Duck] and slowly spoke, “The body of this blade is entangled with the law that maintains the closed loop of time in this fishing village, and this power of the law is not something that the current Wang Mian can possess at all.”

　　So far, Lin Qiye had only seen this blade on two people, one was the current [Mask] squad leader Wang Mian, and the other was the elderly Wang Mian who had broken them up and entered Japan’s “human circle”, suspected to be from the future.

　　Since it was impossible for the current Wang Mien to possess the power of the Law, the identity of the owner of this blade was obvious.

　　This was a knife from the future King Face.

　　And the time closure of this fishing village should also be his handiwork.

　　Only, why did he set up such a closed loop here? And why did this knife appear here? What kind of person had been stabbed by this knife?

　　One question after another surged into Lin Qiye’s mind, and just as he was pondering, the old man who had been nailed to the wall of flesh by the [Eagle Duck] slowly opened his eyes ……

　　The pale hair floating in the seawater shook slightly as he raised his head slightly, and a pair of deep and reddish eyes landed on Lin Qiye and Jia Lan, and for some reason, at the sight of these eyes, Lin Qiye’s heart suddenly tightened.

　　”Have two more rats mixed in?……” The old man’s lips moved slightly, but his pale voice ghostly entered the ears of the two.

　　Lin Qiye had used his spiritual power to sense that the old man’s heart was still beating long before he came in, and even though it had been pierced by the [Eagle Duck], and even though this beating was extremely weak, he was still alive …… in a form Lin Qiye couldn’t comprehend.

　　”Who are you?” Lin Qiye asked with a frown.

　　”Me?” The old man calmly replied, “My name is Chen Yangrong, an ordinary fisherman.”

　　Fisherman?

　　Hearing these two words, Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed slightly.

　　A monster whose heart was pierced through by the [Eagle Duck] but still survived in the stomach of a deep sea beast, you call yourself an ordinary fisherman?

　　”You guys, you’re also the poor bastards who mistakenly entered this time closure, right?” The old man’s voice once again echoed in Lin Qiye’s ears, his voice seemed to be a bit lazy, “If you want to live, come and pull out this knife in front of my chest, and when I get out, I’ll thank you properly.”

　　”……”

　　Lin Qiye looked at him with an odd expression, stretched out his hand, and pointed at himself, “What do you think, do I look like a fool?”

　　Not to mention why Elderly King Face wanted to kill this old man, just by looking at his appearance and the body that was in the stomach wall of the giant beast, he definitely didn’t look like a good guy……. Just based on one sentence, you want me to pull out my sword and let you out?

　　I look like so good to deceive people?

　　Even if you want to cheat, you have to make up a decent lie first, right?

　　”Oh, how do you know without trying, in case you are a fool?” Chen Yangrong let out a light laugh.

　　Looking at Lin Qiye and Jia Lan’s serious expressions, Chen Yangrong’s smile also gradually tightened, and he spoke nonchalantly, “However, I’m not joking with you guys, and I’m too lazy to make up a story to bother with you guys, no matter if you’re a smart person or a fool, if you want to walk out of here alive, you can only pull out this knife.

　　Otherwise, you’ll have no choice but to die.”

　　Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and narrowed his eyes at him, his eyes flickering with a shrewd aura

　　”A road to death? Why would I die?”

　　Chen Yangrong looked at him for a moment and laughed coldly, “You still know to come to the lasso …… It seems that you really aren’t a fool.”

　　Chen Yangrong didn’t seem to care about Lin Qiye’s small mind, stretching out his hand and pointing to the flowing light circle that was slowly rotating in front of his chest, “Either that, or you will die in its hands ……”

　　Immediately afterward, he raised his arm high and pointed to the top of his head:

　　”Either, you die in ‘their’ hands.”
