"Why! Why do you want to plunge us into despair and then come as a savior! Do you like redemption so much? Then do you know how we are going to survive in this fucking world!"
Lu Li stared at the prisoner on the gallows who was screaming at the top of his lungs. His other self raised the psychic gun, and everything was lost in the deafening gunfire.
Returning to reality, Mateus' comforting words rang in his ears: "No one really blames you. Regardless of redemption or salvation, it is not what you should do. They just want to blackmail you with morality."
"Is this the last one?"
Lu Li took the psychic gun from the twisted figure, removed the shell, loaded the silver-plated bullet, and put it into the holster.
"Yes, then there are the 'guilty ones'. They have committed wrongdoings, but they are not unforgivably guilty."
And there are many citizens who have indeed committed crimes but are difficult to judge.
For example, Rune Trin. He brutally killed the Ross family. When Ross was alive, he cut open his stomach to escape his intestines, strangled Ross's wife with his intestines, took out Mrs. Ross's intestines and strangled their son, and then strangled their son.
The son's intestines choked Los.
A family of three were closely connected to each other's intestines, and died in painful scenes like cult sacrifices.
If this were the case, Rune Thelin would undoubtedly appear on the "death penalty" list, but there was a reason for Rune Thelin to do so...
His child was stolen by Los and used as a material for a kind of evil alchemy mastered by Los to cure his son's epilepsy.
Rune Thelin found the child's hair that was thrown into the sewer outside Ross's house, so he went crazy and killed the Ross family.
"He will become my believer, he has done no wrong..."
The twisted figure as a different god obviously has its own cognition.
Mateus nodded and crossed out Rune Thelin's name.
No one had any objections to the punishment of the next bailiff who let twenty-seven residents starve to death due to corruption.
"Should be put to death."
"Second. Lu Li, can you put me on your head?"
"Why."
"It's more comfortable there and communication is more convenient..."
The seven parts of humanity have made Lu Li start to smell "good".
Lu Li took out the branch possessed by the evil god. It was slowly bending, connected end to end to form a ring, and was worn on Lu Li's black hair like a crown of thorns.
Lu Li lowered his head slightly, and the thorns were entangled in his hair and did not fall off.
Matthäus erased the name of the executive, but his fate was completely opposite to the last one whose name was crossed out.
The knight left and took the ashen-faced executioner to the gallows, where he was executed by Lu Li.
The third, the fourth... There are lucky ones like Rune Trin who are chosen by the twisted figure, there are unlucky ones who need to become unintelligent slaves to pay for their sins, and there are also unforgivable people who become the souls of Lu Li's gun and feed the underground in the form of fertilizer.
city.
"Death penalty", "guilty", "difficult to judge", their sins range from low to high, at least many guilty people are spared death.
The trial of one hundred and thirty-seven "guilty" people was completed, and there were thirty-seven more believers and ninety-seven slaves in the twisted figure.
Then there's "difficult to judge."
This list has the largest number of people, and it is also the most difficult to intuitively judge whether they have committed crimes. Maybe they are at fault, but there are various objective reasons that make their faults not serious.
For example, Jonas's nap late one night indirectly led to the theft of the warehouse he was guarding, causing riots among residents and conflicts among soldiers. He did not commit a serious fault, and the trial for dereliction of duty was slightly unfair, but if he had not fallen asleep, the case would have been
The tragedy should never have happened, neither the death penalty nor becoming a slave were too serious for him.
"Let him choose between converting believers and working atonement in the dungeon."
The next one is the newspaper owner Yvette Benn. Because he was framed, he used the newspaper to fabricate lies about the person who framed him, causing the man to commit suicide with his wife in grief and anger. Yvette Benn was not the one who took the initiative to stir up trouble, but his behavior was indeed
As a result, a couple died at home.
"Not guilty."
said the Swamp Mother gently.
Lu Li said nothing, his answer represented his opinion.
"Look here first..."
At this time, Mateus asked Lu Li to temporarily skip the next person and pointed to the name Adrian Abel marked as a member of parliament in the middle of the list: "We found out through investigation that he coveted Yvette Ben's newspaper. Before that, he and the couple
I have contacted him, I guess this Abel wants to use this method to force him to hand over the newspaper."
Lu Li had no impression of Adrian Abel.
"Someone would sacrifice himself and his wife for the benefit of others?" Lu Li asked.
"Usually not, but their son is still there. I guess there was some promise. But not long ago, their son Eureka was arrested for causing trouble and was sent to the outer ring where he encountered an 'accident' and died of the plague."
"Did the congressman do it?"
"We have no evidence."
So he is "difficult to judge".
"No evidence required." The twisted figure replied.
Without any objection, Congressman Adrian Abel was thrown into the "death penalty" that supplemented Lu Li's humanity.
Matthaus's actions against the members seemed to be excluding dissidents, but he had no reason to do so. With Lu Li's support, he could remove any member at will without any criticism or obstruction, so there was no need to do so.
The processing of more than two hundred "difficult to judge" names is coming to an end. Most, like Jonas, paid with labor, a few became slaves and believers, and three were executed.
"Adrian Abel" was one of them. He was dragged out of his bed in the cave, put on the gallows in his thin pajamas.
"What? Mayor Mateus, Mr. Lu Li... what are you going to do?"
The panicked Adrian Abel guessed something and wanted to defend himself. After failing, he lost his temper and yelled, saying that Matthäus was framing him.
"He's lying..."
The Swamp Mother gently shook her branches: "I can hear his heart..."
Lu Li nodded lightly, raised the muzzle of his gun, and pulled the trigger on the regretful and desperate Adrian Abel.
Pulled into death retrospective, Lu Li suddenly fell into a strange environment.
This was not a gallows, but a bedroom. A figure was sleeping soundly on the bed and quilt. Before he could identify who he was, Lu Li turned to the slowly opening door.
A piece of flesh that changed shape came out of the crack in the door, squirmed close to the figure on the bed, got into the quilt, and formed an arched and crawling shape.
Adrian Abel, who was sleeping soundly, turned over, and nothing seemed to happen, except that his weak breathing stopped for a moment.
Then Lu Li woke up from his death flashback.
"You took a little long this time." the twisted figure asked.
"Adrian Abel has died a long time ago, probably around..." Lu Li looked at the corpse dripping with blood, and recalled the newspaper title on the bedside table: "The fifth batch of migrant residents arrived in the Land of Light!"
