"Alright, if we don't get detailed intelligence by dawn, I'll go over and see what they're up to."

The next morning.

Talulah didn't sleep all night.

According to reports from those monitoring the camp, the medical camp did not resemble a hospital at all.

It's more like a machine shop.

The welding sounds never stopped starting in the middle of the night.

Interspersed among them were the painful screams of humans.

Two bold Snake Scale ran in to investigate, but they never returned.

"Perhaps they are being tortured inside."

Talulah found this explanation to be more reasonable.

The successive losses made Black Snake realize that he would have to take matters into his own hands from now on.

Regardless of what happens to the Reunion Movement, its legitimacy is beyond question.

She wanted to see what tricks that guy named Lermontov had up his sleeve.

The Black Snake sneered.

No matter what schemes or tricks Lermontov might have, in her eyes they were nothing but overestimating himself.

On the contrary, she hoped that Lermontov could really add some fun to her boring life.

Talulah, accompanied by a few guards, walked along the gravel path in the mountains.

As a humble leader, Black Snake is good at summarizing problems:

"Actually, I also bear some responsibility for this marching arrangement."

"Because we were so focused on infiltrating you all, we neglected Lermontov, allowing him to run rampant within the Reunion Movement."

Talulah sighed, reflecting on her actions.

I had underestimated Lermontov before, thinking he was just an incompetent good-for-nothing.

Perhaps it's all because Lermontov was driven out of Lungmen by Wei Yenwu.

From then on, he became a greedy Reunion Movement cadre, not only actively currying favor with the Emperor on the Empire's side, but also constantly annexing other forces within the Reunion Movement.

If I had arrived three months later, the leader of the Reunion Movement would probably have been replaced.

"My lord, he's merely cunning and a little clever; compared to your wisdom, he's far inferior."

The Snake Scale that followed replied respectfully.

The Black Snake did not answer, but slightly raised its eyes and looked into the distance.

She could already see the camp through the trees.

"If I'm not mistaken, that camp is torturing my men, trying to extract information from them."

"Sir, they will never tell, not even in death."

"I have complete faith in that," the Black Snake said with a smile.

Just then, the gate to the camp in the distance opened, and hundreds of Reunion Movement members emerged from the village and gathered at the village entrance.

It looks like they're watching something.

Talulah took out the Reunion Movement armband from her pocket, put it on her sleeve, and gestured with her chin toward the village entrance.

"Let's go see what they're up to."

At the same time.

On the newly built platform at the village entrance, both Little Wang and Big Bear stood.

Their eyes were bloodshot from staying up all night, but the smiles on their faces showed that they were still in a good mood.

After Luo Chen took his seat and arrived, Big Bear excitedly picked up the microphone:

"Thank you for attending, leader."

"After working on this for a whole night, Doctor Wang and I invented two public welfare machines that can greatly reduce the villagers' daily workload."

While Big Bear was speaking, Talulah and her people quietly appeared in the woods at the village entrance.

From a distance, she recognized the person speaking on the platform.

"Is that Big Bear? What's he doing there?"

"I don't recall him having any skill or interest in modifying machinery."

Black Snake curiously stood on tiptoe, wanting to see the figure on the platform more clearly.

"I believe there are many people who are introverted and timid, and simply don't dare to do household chores like killing chickens, dogs, or fish."

"This personality trait not only leads to introverted friends being frequently criticized as useless by their families, but it also deprives them of the opportunity to legitimately enjoy meat."

"To relieve introverted friends of pressure and burden."

"We specifically invented this Poultry Processor."

Chapter 227 The Reunion Movement's Awe-Inspiring Inventions.

"Next, please take a look at our newly invented public welfare equipment."

Meanwhile, a metal barrel, two meters high and 1.5 meters in diameter, was carried onto the platform by a group of Reunion Movement members in black uniforms.

When it was first carried up, neither the surrounding villagers nor the Black Snake Talulah, who was further away, noticed anything special about the barrel.

It's just an ordinary oil tank, not much different from any other oil tank.

"You might be wondering, what's so special about just this bucket?"

Big Bear continued in an excited voice, "Come on, knock him down."

Under Big Bear's instructions, the Reunion Movement members who had just carried the bucket up laid it down on the ground, pointing the opening of the bucket at the audience below.

Inside the barrel, a person was found firmly chained to one end of the barrel wall.

If that were all, it wouldn't be too outrageous.

What's astonishing is that the person inside the bucket had lost both arms; where the arms should have been, they had been replaced by an iron rod and a steel knife.

"Yue~~"

The Reunion Movement members watching didn't react much, but the villagers who had gotten up early to watch the spectacle were so disgusted by the bloody, mutated human bodies inside the bucket that they vomited on the spot.

When Talulah's gaze fell upon that horrifying scene, her heart instantly raced.

She involuntarily took a few steps forward and stood with the onlookers.

"The Poultry Processor was enthusiastically sponsored by an unknown killing enthusiast."

"This man has killed countless people and calls himself a murder artist."

"As we all know, our Reunion Movement is a non-profit organization. In order to satisfy this gentleman's special interests, and incidentally realize his positive social value."

"After enthusiastic communication, we finally worked together to create this Poultry Processor."

"Next, we will demonstrate how to use this treatment for slaughtering poultry."

Big Bear stood still and explained to the onlookers.

Dr. Little Wang, wearing a white coat, took a live poultry to the edge of the metal bucket and threw it in in front of everyone.

The large bird thrown into the barrel was very agile; it flapped its wings and dodged the deadly steel knives and rods inside the barrel in two swift movements.

Then, it raised its proud head and glared at Little Wang, as if mocking him for being so incompetent.

Seeing that the knife and stick in the bucket hadn't killed the large bird, the onlookers all looked up at Little Wang and Big Bear, wanting to hear their explanation.

Big Bear and Little Wang exchanged a glance, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Clang...

Just as everyone was wondering how the two of them were going to demonstrate the Poultry Processor, Little Wang suddenly raised his leg and kicked the edge of the iron bucket.

The iron bucket, which had been lying horizontally on the platform, started rolling immediately after Little Wang kicked it.

The unknown killer, who was unconscious inside the barrel, was suddenly awakened by a kick and began to writhe in pain.

Because of his twisting motion, the iron barrel, which had been slowly rolling, suddenly accelerated.

Before long, the iron bucket rolled to the edge of the platform, and then, under everyone's watchful eyes, it crashed down from the platform, which was half a meter high.

The hearts of the onlookers clenched at the sound.

Then I watched as the metal bucket rolled farther and farther away, faster and faster.

The killer inside, acting as a blade and a dismemberment stick, naturally spun faster and faster, his cries growing weaker and weaker.

But he was not lonely.

At first, it was the killer who was wailing alone, but soon the proud big bird also joined the wailing.

The iron bucket rolled for about a hundred meters before hitting a large tree at the village entrance and coming to a stop.

The serial killer could only groan weakly, while the poultry had completely lost its voice.

The large bird in the bucket fell silent, and so did the villagers who had gathered at the village entrance.

As for Talulah the Black Snake, she narrowed her eyes, somewhat unable to believe what she had just witnessed.

"With each rotation of our Poultry Processor, the blades and rods inside tumble one more time."

"In other words, the faster we spin this Poultry Processor, the more efficient it will be at processing poultry."

To complement Big Bear's explanation, the members of the Reunion Movement also pushed the round iron bucket back.

After the bloody, mangled pieces of poultry meat from the bucket were placed in the Big Bear's hands.

The villagers and Talulah silent.

But Big Bear smiled and continued his introduction:

"This is the Poultry Processor that my colleagues in Lungmen and I developed together."

"This invention adheres to our core principles of Reunion Movement, environmental protection, efficiency, and people-centeredness."

"It satisfies the personal aspirations of the inventor while maximizing their social effectiveness."

"At the same time, I added a little bit of my own personal inspiration and Doctor Wang's inspiration, and that's how this great product was created."

"Our next step is to mass-produce this invention to benefit every introverted friend who is afraid to kill poultry."

"Therefore, I am offering a hefty reward to all villagers for information leading to the murderer. If you discover any clues about the murderer, please contact us immediately. We will reward important informants with 200 Lungmen Dollar as a 'helping others' award."

At this moment, the village entrance, where hundreds of people had gathered, was eerily quiet.

For the villagers of this small mountain village, the invention of the Reunion Movement was too shocking.

Even the well-informed Black Snake Talulah was shocked.

She'd seen serial killers, she'd seen psychopaths, she'd seen good people who were overly kind, and she'd seen countless mad scientists.

But she had never seen such a freakish scientist who was so prone to giving unsolicited kindness.

She and Big Bear had only been apart for two months, how could he have turned into such a heartless and insane person?

As the Black Snake was shocked, Talulah, who was immersed in the depths of her soul, also surfaced in shock.

"Big Bear... how could you do such a thing?"

"This is simply..."

With both personalities active simultaneously, Talulah's left face is a calm, expressionless face, while her right face is one of stunned disbelief.

He only said half of what he meant.

"Big Bear is punishing evil and promoting good, doing something positive and uplifting."

Luo Chen, who was also standing in the crowd, heard Talulah's questioning yet serious tone and smiled with satisfaction.
