Volume Three, Chapter 30: Death - Punishment (Part 2)
On this remote mountainside, I don’t know when a lot of people poured in. They were all people who came to watch.
The faces of these people were blurry, and Lu Sheng could not see their appearance at all.
Lu Sheng's confused consciousness began to cause trouble, and more execution elements broke into it, making this supposedly top-secret place seem to have become the busiest Meridian Gate.
All the videos he had watched, all the books he had read, and all the stories he had heard, as long as they involved scenes and scenes of capital punishment, were all presented to him at this moment. There were people in the crowd holding steamed buns in their hands.
, there was a wooden prison car not far ahead, and he even saw an executioner in red among the crowd.
Lu Sheng suddenly became nervous, "Is this to show off to the public? Didn't you say you didn't know the specific location when you got on the bus? How come so many people suddenly appeared, are they all here to watch the fun?"
The clouds are shrouded, the autumn wind is bleak, and there is a loud voice.
Some voices came from the crowd. Although they were still far away from Lu Sheng, he could still hear the content of their conversation.
"That's a murderer, and I heard he's also a university teacher."
"Two people were shot together this time. Which university teacher are you talking about?"
"That's the one, the older one."
"The other young man, he has done all kinds of evil. He has done all kinds of bad things, including drug trafficking, smuggling, rape, murder, arson, robbery, kidnapping, treason..."
Lu Sheng counted the charges listed by the man in detail, there were a total of forty-six.
In fact, these were all lessons that Lu Sheng had done before. He had been concerned about whether he would be sentenced to death for the crimes he committed. He was already familiar with the scope of application of the death penalty. When these crimes appeared in his mind again,
A strong sense of shame occupied him.
Now that he was being executed together with another heinous criminal, Lu Sheng felt not only guilt, but also ugliness and humiliation.
Lu Sheng knew that the crowd of onlookers was not here to give them a final farewell. They must be curious and come to witness a scene they had never seen before. They might even clap their hands and cheer, cheering that there are finally fewer people in the world.
Several demons.
At this time, the police's voice came from beside Lu Sheng. He said to another death row prisoner being escorted, "Open your mouth as much as possible for a while, so that the bullet will pass through your mouth. As long as you cooperate a little, it will be done."
It won’t be disfigured.”
The man's eyes widened blankly and he looked around. He was now in a critical state of life and death. Lu Sheng had never seen such an extremely distorted face.
The squadron leader leading the team shouted, "Get ready!"
The executing policeman put his gun to the back of the criminal's head, and the assistant policeman held the criminal's left shoulder. At the moment of beating, he would immediately let go, because as soon as he heard the cry "beat", the policeman with the gun would
Fire decisively.
Lu Sheng looked at the long gun, which was next to the back of the executioner's head. He knew that if the shot was fired, the man would be killed on the spot, and he would definitely not shoot again.
"beat!"
"boom…"
The loud gunshot instantly silenced the noisy crowd around him.
The moment the gunshot rang out, the world turned red, and the criminal's brains splashed onto Lu Sheng's face. In his eyes, he felt disgusted.
After the gunshot rang out, the man struggled a few more times before finally dying. Lu Sheng looked at him and had an indescribable feeling in his heart. His life ended so easily, and he died in a shameful way.
The doctors waiting nearby rushed over immediately. They came to prepare to take away the organs, because of course the body of this big criminal was unclaimed.
Looking at the doctors swarming up to him, the squadron leader shouted loudly from the side, "Hey, wait a little longer, there is still a prisoner who has not yet been executed!"
Lu Sheng knew that the squadron leader was talking about him, and he also knew that the same process would happen to him soon.
He opened his mouth, the barrel of the gun was pressed against the back of his head, the gunshot went off, his brains splattered, he struggled, and he was dissected and dismembered.
Lu Sheng finally felt the fear caused by death. Although it was in a dream, this feeling was too real. He had forgotten that it was all a dream, and he only felt regret and survival.
Familiar words rang in my ears, "For a while, open your mouth as much as possible, so that the bullet will pass through your mouth. As long as you cooperate a little, your appearance will not be disfigured."
"preparation!"
The cold and hard barrel of the gun pressed against the back of Lu Sheng's head, and a hand was placed on his left shoulder. He closed his eyes tightly and waited for the arrival of dawn.
"beat!"
Lu Sheng thought it was the strong heartbeat that drowned out the sound of the gun. He did not hear the gunshot. He slowly opened his eyes and found that he was still kneeling on the ground. Only then did he realize that the gun had not been fired at all.
.
Did things take a turn for the better, was there some miracle? Did he not need to be executed?
Lu Sheng turned around tentatively. The police were still there, but the man who fired the shot stood aside numbly.
Maybe the recruit who accompanied Lu Sheng had stage fright, or maybe the gun jammed. Anyway, the gun didn't go off, and no miracle happened. Lu Sheng was still going to die.
The policemen had a brief conversation, and another policeman came over.
