Chapter 16 Charges(1/2)

"Haha, how can you tell if you are a foreigner at a glance? How to tell me this?" Roy strongly calmed down and pretended that he was discussing the content on the yellow paper with his companions.

He comforted Phil and Pasha with the hidden meaning in his words, so that they would not have to be nervous or panic. After all, except for the local Baiers, the remaining three are also citizens of Ruen, and they do not include Southern Continental bloodlines. Just looking at the outline of their facial features, there is no particularity.

"But, but this is an extraordinary event..." Pashala responded a little stutteringly.

This cannot be judged by common sense!

Roy's heart was condensed, and he looked at the citizens who were slowly approaching without any expression, and shouted in a low voice:

"run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he had already turned around and rushed to the nearest street entrance, with Pasha and Phil following behind.

As a local, Byers tacitly dragged it to the end, covering the surface of his skin with an illusory fish scales.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Several citizens raised their double-barrel hunting rifles and shot forward.

Roy, Phil and Pasha are both extraordinary people who are good at fighting. They sometimes change directions while running, sometimes fit and pounce, rolling forward, successfully avoiding this round of attack.

Then, under Pasha's guidance, they walked through the streets and alleys, got rid of the pursuit, and hid in the darkness of no one.

"What should I do?" Phil asked gasping, with a broken hand, "judging from the content of the announcement, we probably can't leave the city directly."

"We need to understand the rules and find solutions from them." Although Roy was also very panicked, he still forced himself to think calmly so that the entire team would not have a collapse in emotions.

Pasha glanced at Baiers, who was in charge of guarding, said:

"Did that notice board exist before?"

Byers nodded:

"Yes, although I rarely have the opportunity to go to the Municipal Square, I gathered there when I was recruited into the army before, and saw the notice board."

"There should be no problem with the billboard. Perhaps, those two pieces of paper are the key. They can make the written laws have mysterious significance." Pasha expressed her guess.

Roy immediately agreed:

"right.

"And I suspect that those laws must be announced before they will be effective. If we can find an opportunity to tear off those two pieces of paper, the corresponding restrictions may disappear."

After listening to Roy's words, Pasha, Phil and Byles fell into silence at the same time.

After a few seconds, Phil said with his muscles twitching:

"Try it! If you are trapped in the city, even if you are not caught by those citizens, you may be punished for various reasons."

Although they are all extraordinary people, their sequence is not high, and it is not a problem to deal with a few ordinary people. It will be extremely dangerous to face the hostility of the whole city.

Roy, Byles and Pasha were all people who had more or less been on the battlefield. Knowing that hesitation was the most undesirable behavior at this time, they made decisions one after another and agreed to Phil's proposal.

Under the guidance of the experienced "hunter" Pasha, the group of four people went around for most of the time and sneaked back to the municipal square from another street.

At this time, the citizens watching the announcement were no longer here, and it seemed that they were searching for foreigners in the city.

After looking at the notice board standing quietly in the center of two gas street lights, Roy and others approached carefully, ready to escape at any time.

When he approached his goal, Roy suddenly thought of a question and asked in a low voice:

"Is the destruction announcement considered an illegal act?"

"In theory, it's..." Pasha said stunned for a moment.

They then turned their attention to the notice board and browsed the crimes listed in the third order:

“…

“8. Destroy public property;

“…”

"It really is." Byers blurted out.

Phil's pale face, which was already due to blood loss, became a little bleaker again, and thought for a while and said:

"What punishment will be imposed on destroying public property?"

This is just a less serious illegal act, and the corresponding punishment is likely to be lighter.

If this is true, Phil plans to take some risk to tear off the announcement and end this terrible and weird thing.

"The first offense is a whip." Just as Roy, Pasha and Byers pondered the answer, a voice came from behind them.

The four of them turned around in shock and saw a young man wearing a black robe, a top hat and an ordinary appearance.

The man continued:

"The recurrence is a broken hand.

"I don't know what a recidivist is."

"Why do you know?" Roy asked with a frown as he held the hidden dagger vigilantly.

The young man smiled and said:

"I tried it, it didn't work, and the announcement will be restored soon."

"So, you've been whipped?" Pasha asked in a daze.

"Yeah." The young man nodded with a relaxed expression, "However, because I also committed fraud, I was punished with cutting off my hands afterwards."

"The crime of fraud?" Byers asked incomprehensible.

The young man replied with a smile:

"Simply put, I didn't break the announcement myself, but made a dummy, and the dummy was also whipped."

While speaking, he raised his right arm.

His wrists were cut very neatly, just like Phil, and the wound was pale and red, and it seemed that blood was still oozing.

Suddenly, the broken mouth squirmed and crawled out one after another of twisted and transparent insects. They entangled each other and overlapped layer by layer to form a new palm.

During this process, Roy and others did not feel any horror, because when they saw the little bugs that could not distinguish the details, their thinking was confused, their thoughts were chaotic, and their thoughts were difficult to control their own emotional fluctuations.

When the palm of the hand "covered" the skin and became normal, these extraordinary people recovered and took a few steps back at the same time in shock, suspicion and fear.

The scene just now has exceeded their perception!

"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. I am a wandering magician." It was Klein who just committed the crime of fraud and the crime of destruction of public property.

He glanced at the four extraordinary people and said with a smile:

"My best abilities in magic is to satisfy other people's wishes. Do you have any wishes that you want to fulfill?"

Hearing this question, Roy was excited and asked with great hope:

"Can we leave Beldan?"

"Of course, I'll do my best to do this, but not now." Klein made a promise.

Then he looked at Phil with his broken hand:

"His wish is over, what is yours?"

"…Let my hands recover." Phil said tentatively.

"Okay." Klein turned his eyes to Byers, "take out his hand."

Byers hesitated for a moment and followed the mysterious man's instructions, he took out the wooden box and returned the palm of his hand to Phil.

"Come here." Klein then smiled and said to Phil.

Phil mustered up the courage, took his broken hand and walked over.

"Tear off the strap." Klein continued to instruct, "Put the broken hand in its original position, reminding you not to rebel, otherwise you will have to cut it off and start again later."

Seeing that the other party was so sure, Phil had some confidence, and hissed with a very distorted expression.

After he put down his broken hand, Klein took out a piece of white paper and came over.

Immediately afterwards, he reached out and wiped the broken mouth.

Silently, the white paper cracked in half, and Phil felt the pain disappear.

He quickly looked down and saw that the broken mouth of his left wrist was as intact as before, and he could not tell that he had been hurt.

Phil subconsciously moved his fingers and found that his flexibility did not decrease at all.

"Your wish is fulfilled." Klein took two steps back and said with a smile.

"Thank you..." Phil responded in a daze.

Klein looked at the other two extraordinary people:

"Where is your wish?"

Seeing that Phil's wish was truly fulfilled, Byers immediately stepped forward and said:

“I want to know where my family is now.”

Klein swung his left arm, took out a silver mirror with an ancient pattern, lowered his head and smiled:
To be continued...
