"Boss, don't get too excited yet. Haven't you noticed anything strange?" Captain with the mustache frowned. Bendos's face darkened. Damn, why do I hate this captain so much!
"Captain, what's wrong? Is something strange?"
"Boss, the strange thing is that it really was a rock!" Captain with the mustache frowned. "That means it really was a rock attacking our submarine just now. Isn't that strange?"
Bendaus frowned as well. Sure enough, that was true. But who cared? He was retiring soon anyway. Besides, this captain was getting more and more annoying!
"I thought it was something serious? What's the big deal? It's just a rock. Maybe, maybe it just happened to fall from above and hit the submarine! Anyway, we've already taken it down, haven't we?" Bendos laughed. "Now we need to celebrate. Shall we open a bottle of champagne?"
Bang! A loud bang came from the submarine, and the entire submarine shook violently.
Bang! The submarine jolted violently again, and the alarm lights inside the submarine flashed wildly. The alarm blared throughout the entire submarine.
Bendas was dumbfounded. What happened now? Can't a man just retire in peace?
"Damn it, hurry up and check!" Bendos shouted, somewhat exasperated.
The submarine quickly became noisy, with four or five soldiers rushing to the control room and getting to work. The captain peered through the binoculars, then suddenly turned to Bendaus with a terrified expression: "Boss, something's wrong! There seems to be a monster outside!"
Bendos's face darkened. Damn it, it was a stone a moment ago, and now it's a monster? What's wrong with this world?
Bendows immediately looked through the binoculars. It was still dark outside, but with the submarine's own lights, he could clearly see a gigantic monster waving more than a dozen huge tentacles and attacking the submarine. The originally massive submarine looked like a toy in front of this monster.
Bendaus, pale-faced, roared, "Quick! Quick! Shoot! Shoot! Kill it! Now!"
Instantly, twenty or thirty machine guns emerged from around the submarine, firing in rapid succession as countless bullets swept out. The tentacle monster roared, its tentacles frantically coiling around the submarine, causing it to creak and groan.
The alarms inside the submarine were deafening, and various alarm lights were flashing wildly.
"Sir! Drive system damaged!"
"Sir, a crack has appeared in the tail section; the situation is extremely dangerous!"
"Sir, the distress signal has been sent and we are awaiting a response."
"Sir, there's a leak in the middle of the submarine! The situation is critical!"
Bendos slumped into his executive chair, feeling utterly drained. He understood that once the submarine reached this point, escape was virtually impossible. Even if they managed to get out, the immense water pressure would instantly turn them into mincemeat. Their only hope now was that the monster would abandon the submarine and leave on its own; otherwise, they would all perish at sea.
The captain, pale-faced, squatted on the ground, muttering something to himself.
Bendos trembled as he pulled a cigar from his clothes, lit it, and took a deep drag. He knew smoking wasn't allowed on the submarine, but it didn't matter to him now.
Bang! Crack! ~
The cracks in the submarine grew larger, and seawater shot in through them like a high-pressure water gun.
Click! ~Click~
The submarine's power supply system had been destroyed, leaving the interior pitch black except for the occasional cries and screams. The seawater was ankle-deep, and Bendos' cigarette butt flickered on and off, becoming the only source of light inside the submarine.
The submarine finally shattered completely, and powerful seawater rushed in instantly, spraying out plumes of blood mist as pieces of flesh fell to the seabed.
Ma Xiaoniu sneered, and with a thought, he instantly teleported to an island.
I took a deep breath, ah! It felt so good! Even with the oxygen supply pipes, it still felt oppressive and suffocating in the ocean. Suddenly being outside, the fresh air filled my lungs, and I felt like I was ascending to heaven.
Stretching, he looked around. It was pitch black. He checked the time; it was already past 10 p.m. Exploring the shipwreck and destroying the enemy submarine had taken him a whole day. Ma Xiaoniu smiled. This kind of life is really comfortable.
When I got home, I washed up, went to bed, read a book, and went to sleep.
The next morning, Ma Xiaoniu got up early, sat in the living room, opened his laptop, and logged into the Demon Forum. The forum was still incredibly lively, with over a dozen more pages of posts in the submission section, all sorts of requests for help. Ma Xiaoniu quickly browsed through them.
"Help! My younger brother is missing!"
"Help! I'm being held captive by the Japanese mafia."
"Help! My father is addicted to drugs."
"Help! I was abducted as a child and want to find my biological parents."
"Help! I've been forced into drug trafficking by a gang."
"Please help! I was abducted as a child and now I'm forced to beg on the streets."
"Help! I've been scammed out of three million!"
"Please help! My mother has gone missing, and we've been searching for her for years without success."
...
Every time Ma Xiaoniu saw various requests for help, he was filled with anger, but at the same time, he felt somewhat helpless. After all, he was alone and couldn't possibly handle everything. Besides, there were some cases he simply couldn't solve right now. At times like these, Ma Xiaoniu desperately wished for some powerful abilities, preferably ones that could assist in solving cases, like his previous super sense of smell. Unfortunately, Ma Xiaoniu couldn't control it; each time, his superpower was random.
Furthermore, Ma Xiaoniu has once again entertained the idea of starting a gang. In truth, if he possessed the Demon Eye ability, he could easily accomplish this, but that's not something Ma Xiaoniu can simply acquire at will. Therefore, his primary task is to quickly figure out a way to fool the system! Only by not being bound by the system can he truly pursue his own ambitions!
