On the other side, Zhou Ming closed his eyes and rested, thinking about some complex social issues.

The convoy they were in had a total of ten vehicles, five of which were used to carry people, and the other five were used to transport goods. All of these goods were to be sold to the local emperor in Sanyang Village, including guns, batteries, and various other goods.

electrical appliances.

Sanyang Village is far away from the city and is located in the mountains and forests. The village itself has no productivity. Without external material support, they will live even worse than the residents of Semir Town.

However, Sanyang Village is located in a mine that can produce magic stones. Its status is like a place in the Middle East that can produce oil during the war. Therefore, even if it has no productivity, it still has unparalleled consumption potential.

Of course, the gap in rehabilitation there is also huge. The rich live better than those in Class A residential areas, while the poor are just like living in Africa. Most of the poor there are migrant people who are regularly transported by human traffickers.

.

In Sun Tong's convoy, many people who would become coolies in the future were locked in the car. Those people did not have good treatment like Zhou Ming and Wang Siyan. They were already firmly locked in the car with chains before they entered Shiqiu.

.

There is no doubt that the people who do this business are also criminals, and it was this kind of people that Zhou Ming wanted to kill before.

But now, after personal contact with these criminals, Zhou Ming thought of more things, about social issues, this distorted social environment, the dividing line between justice and evil, and many other things.

Previously, Zhou Ming believed that there were indeed some crimes that were not punishable by death, such as blackmail and extortion. They only needed to be given the punishment they deserved. The punishment of death was too serious compared to the crimes they committed.

But now that he has come into contact with human traffickers, Zhou Ming has a new understanding of crime. The worse the living environment in the world, the lower the bottom line for ordinary people. As the bottom line decreases, the seriousness of the crimes committed becomes

The level will also increase accordingly.

In this case, it becomes very difficult to identify which criminals should be killed.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, doesn’t the current law also deviate from humanity? Dividing human beings into different levels and killing ordinary people who are at risk in the same situation sounds completely unrelated to justice.

"The world is off the rails, and you have to put it right."

A voice sounded in Zhou Ming's ears without warning.

Zhou Ming opened his eyes suddenly, looked forward, and saw Wang Siyan, who was sweating profusely, putting his hand into his vest to wipe away the sweat.

"What's wrong with you? You look like you're scared." Wang Siyan asked with a frown.

Zhou Ming blinked and slowly shook his head: "It's okay."

He heard that inexplicable voice just now. That voice belonged to no one else but Ping Xingyue.

Have you heard any hallucinations?

Is it because of recent stress, or is it because the mental state is deteriorating?

The occurrence of auditory and visual hallucinations is a sign of the evaporation of intelligence and requires vigilance and attention.

…

As the truck drove forward on the flat and vast desert, Sun Gong held the steering wheel with one hand and held a cigarette in the other hand, putting it in his mouth and taking a puff from time to time.

The smoke slowly rose around his fingertips like white elves and slowly dissipated in the air. In the narrow and stuffy cab, Sun Gong's thinking was unusually calm.

He felt like a beast that was tightly caught in a trap. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not get rid of the ferocious iron tool.

Whether it is killing the hunter or Zhou Ming, it is not the last task for him. He knows that no matter how much he does, he can never satisfy that crying and laughing mask. The other party will not let him go unless he dies one day.

Otherwise, no matter how many people he kills, he will not be free.

We can no longer sit back and wait for death. We must find a way to kill the crying and laughing man, pull him out from behind the scenes, and then kill him!

Only in this way can he live peacefully with his wife and children.

Sun Gong's eyes fell on the big rock far away in front of him. The empty desert scenery helped to clear his mind and allowed him to think clearly.

Now he doesn't have many clues about the Crying and Laughing Mask, there are only two: the other party wants to seize the unknown relic from the hunter, and in addition, he also wants to kill the boy named Zhou Ming.

As long as we understand these two motives, we can have a more detailed understanding of the crying and laughing man.

The hunter must know the true identity of the wry-smiling man better than he does. After all, the relic is now in his hands. He must have some idea of ​​who wants the relic in his hand.

The same goes for Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming must have done something to threaten Crying and Laughing Man, so Crying and Laughing Man wanted to kill him.

Zhou Ming should have some clues about the person who wants to kill him. If he asks him, he might be able to get useful information.

But should he be kept alive? Sun Gong frowned, hesitating in his heart. If he didn't kill him, what would happen to his family?

After the cigarette burned out, Sun Gong made a decision.

He will assassinate Zhou Ming according to the original plan, but before Zhou Ming dies, he has to ask the other party some questions.

He was fully prepared for this assassination to ensure nothing went wrong.

Although Zhou Ming is an ice magician, he is not afraid at all, because he is also a magician himself, and he also has the ability bonus of a heroic character. The chance of winning in a head-on conflict is almost 100%.

But Sun Gong is a cautious person. Since he is in a latent state now, there is a better way than direct conflict, poisoning.

The poison Sun Gong bought from the black market, nicknamed "Slow Death", is a very easy-to-use poison. It is colorless and odorless, and has strong water solubility. It is as water-soluble as table salt, and its molecules are small and can penetrate cell membranes.

, so all cells in the body will be affected. When it enters the human body, it will be dispersed throughout the body and difficult to remove. It is like drinking salt water, which is quickly absorbed by the blood.

This drug will not show any external symptoms when it first enters the human body, but symptoms will appear within a few days. Ulcers will appear in the mouth and respiratory tract, and then the lips and face will ulcerate. The internal organs will begin to fail at the same time. Finally, severe kidney failure and lung failure will occur.

In fibrosis, people who take the drug are unable to breathe and eventually die.

The time of death is directly related to the dosage of the drug. This is also the most convenient part of this drug. If you use more or less, you will definitely die, but you can control the duration of death by controlling the dosage of the drug.

This medicine is fatal to ordinary people, but Sun Gong guessed that this medicine should not be able to kill Zhou Ming.

The physical quality of a spellcaster is different from that of ordinary people. Basically, chronic poison can only weaken the spellcaster's mobility, but cannot cause death.

But this is exactly what Sun Gong wants to achieve. He doesn't want Zhou Ming to die too quickly and painfully, because he needs the other party to retain the ability to think clearly before he dies to answer his questions.

The purpose of using poison is to weaken Zhou Ming's combat effectiveness so that he can suppress the opponent more easily.
