After an hour or two, most of the fish were finally thrown away. The remaining two fish were on the verge of death due to lack of oxygen.
The fish was meticulously cut and gutted at the seaside, then skewered on a fresh branch and grilled over a fire. Salt and cumin were sprinkled on top, and the aroma of the grilled fish instantly filled the air.
Slurp! Ah! It smells so good! I tear off a piece of fish and slowly put it in my mouth. The fish is smooth and tender. I bite into it gently, and the juices burst out, filling my mouth with the aroma of fish.
The two fish ate for an hour, and when they checked the time, it was already past midnight, but Wu Changlin still hadn't sent any information. Damn it, once we catch these kidnappers, we have to take good care of them. Why did they make me wait so long?
Around 3 PM, Ma Xiaoniu slowly opened his eyes. The sand beneath him was soft and warm, the sun shone on his body, and the sound of the waves, the chirping of seabirds, and the slightly salty air were all so wonderful.
He sat up, tidied up the "crime" scene, and then teleported home.
After a quick wash, Ma Xiaoniu sat on the living room sofa in his pajamas, then opened his laptop and logged into the Demon Forum. Compared to his phone, Ma Xiaoniu preferred using a computer to browse the internet, as the interface seemed larger and more enjoyable.
The Demon Forum was as lively as ever. Open the case submission area.
"Help! My cash, which I kept at home, has been stolen."
"Help! My son has developed health problems after drinking Wulu milk powder, and the police have been unable to help."
"Help! My boss doesn't pay my wages!"
"Help! My forest trees have been illegally logged."
"Help! My old building in the countryside is experiencing paranormal events."
"Help! My brother is trapped in a pyramid scheme!"
"Help! My husband was murdered at a construction site. There's a suspect, but no evidence."
...
China is so big, with such a large population, there are countless things happening every day! Ma Xiaoniu felt powerless once again. He originally thought that with his superpowers, he could wipe out all the evil people, but he had obviously oversimplified things. Evil people and evil deeds are like bacteria, constantly multiplying every moment! They are impossible to kill completely.
It seems there's a long way to go. Perhaps in the future, when I have the ability to grant others powers, I could start some kind of sect, which would bring me closer to my goal of eradicating evil. But the abilities I acquire each day are random and uncontrollable. Who knows when the right ability will come along? Maybe I'll never get one in my lifetime! So I can only take it one step at a time.
I opened the completed section and started a new thread, posting photos of the Wang Balong case scene and a brief description of the case. Within moments, the number of comments skyrocketed.
"My God! That's so cruel!"
"Ugh! I have to say, this kind of scene is a once-in-a-century event."
"Isn't it a bit too gory?"
"Isn't this going a bit too far? They only seized the fishing grounds, they didn't kill anyone."
"This feeling is excessive; it doesn't warrant death."
"Why does Wang Balong's expression look so strange?"
"Upstairs, it would be strange if such a bloody scene didn't seem odd."
"The crime does not warrant death."
"Why would a demon do this? Can't we report it to the police?"
"I agree with the comment above; it's better to hand it over to the police."

===Chapter Twenty-Nine===
Amidst the overwhelming condemnation in the comments, Ma Xiaoniu simply smiled. He had spent a day figuring something out: he would walk his own path and let others talk. Moreover, Ma Xiaoniu believed that evil has no measure; anyone who commits evil deserves to die. Perhaps many would consider this extreme, but if these cases could be properly resolved, would it even be his place to interfere?
Ma Xiaoniu then opened the comments section.
Speculation about the demon's true identity
Why can't the Demon Forum be breached?
"Ha ha"
"To be honest, this is a really great forum. It's the first time I've dared to post since I killed someone, haha."
...
Ma Xiaoniu frowned. Damn it, a murderer dared to post on the Demon Forum? Was he provoking him? With a thought, the Demon System automatically displayed the poster's detailed address: Room 1024, Building 10, Tomorrow Community, Y District, MH City.
Ma Xiaoniu sneered, "Murderer, are you stupid? Don't you know that demons are there to kill evil people?"
I glanced at my watch; it was already past four. A thought flashed through my mind, and I found myself in a secluded corner of Tomorrow's Community. Donning the demon mask, I teleported to the balcony of room 1024.
On the balcony, Ma Xiaoniu frowned. Damn it, as expected, teleportation isn't omnipotent!
On the sofa in the living room, a middle-aged man in pajamas was playing on the computer. However, he stared in disbelief at Ma Xiaoniu, who had suddenly appeared on the balcony wearing a demon mask. Then, his expression changed drastically, and he threw down his laptop and ran towards the door, shouting for help as he ran.
"Damn it!" Ma Xiaoniu hadn't expected this to happen either. He immediately cast a spell, and the middle-aged man was stunned.
...
Wang Tianshun was a murderer. Five years ago, on a rainy night, he clearly remembered the scene of blood splattering as the knife slashed his victim's neck. Then, he fled to MH City, changed his name, and lived a reclusive life, never venturing out of his house. For five years, he lived in constant fear, never daring to post or comment online, terrified the police would trace him back to his address. But since the Demon Forum appeared, he discovered a new world—the police couldn't find this Demon Forum! What did this mean? It meant he could finally post again! He was so frustrated! He was terrified!
Then he posted an ad. Then he saw a person wearing a demon mask appear on the balcony, and then he suddenly realized that this was the demon! He was there to kill him! He was doomed! So he took off running, opened the door, ran to the hallway, and then sprinted down the stairs, shouting as he ran. When he finally reached the first floor, drenched in sweat, he suddenly felt something was wrong. There should have been someone in each apartment by now, so why hadn't anyone come out after all that shouting? And there were no footsteps chasing him.
Running out of Building 10's gate, Wang Tianshun turned around and saw that the gate was dark and there was no one chasing him. Had they given up? No! As far as he knew, the devil would never give up until he achieved his goal. Wang Tianshun looked around and saw a group of people gathered in the community square. He quickly ran over and, once in the crowd, thought, "What can the devil do to me, no matter how powerful he is?"
Finally reaching the crowd, Wang Tianshun suddenly felt something was wrong. The crowd was too quiet, and why were they all facing away from him? Also, why did no one turn around to check on him when he shouted earlier?
Wang Tianshun frowned, reached out and patted the old man's shoulder. The old man slowly turned around, his face pale, thick blood flowing from his eyes. He smiled eerily, his scarlet eyes staring at Wang Tianshun.
