Chapter Eighteen: Sin and Evil

These scavengers are actually a group of people who are disgusted, feared and hated by the upper and lower classes of society. They can be thieves, stealing everything that can be stolen, or vultures on the battlefield. They risk being discovered and killed by soldiers and look for things that can be picked up for money, weapons, armor, food, clothing, etc. on the battlefield. Occasionally, they will not be ruthless.

As for other things, there are more. When they are weak, they are good people, when they are strong, they are bandits, robbers, kill people, bully the weak and fear the strong, plunder children and women, and buy and sell people... They can be said to be the scum at the bottom of society, a group of evil people who do evil at will to survive and live a better life, and can ruin anyone at will.

To put it bluntly, if you meet these people in the Seven Seas World, Hao Qi will kill them directly. But after all, this is different. The era of this world determines the civilization of this era, and then its civilization determines the way these people live. Perhaps in a more civilized era, they will become gangsters, gangsters, and dark side of society, but at least they will not do everything as bad as they are now.

Of course, this alone is not enough to let Hao Qi let them go. After all, evil is evil. He hurts others for his own selfish interests. This is evil. But the same sentence is still the same. After all, this world is different. Whether this world is true or false is still a different story. This is one reason, and the second reason is that Hao Qi wants to see the truth of this world. He wants to find the reason why Shi Zhong sent him to this world. These scavengers are also one of the truths of this world. He must observe carefully.

In Hao Qi's observation, these scavengers came from several places, divided into seven or eight sects, with only two or three people in the smallest. They were basically from the same village and village. The largest sect with a large number had more than a dozen people. They looked like old scavengers, which was almost no different from those of bandits and bandits. There were three leaders, and the rest were all under the three. Each of them had seen blood on their hands and had lives in their hands. They were considered a domineering among the fugitives, and even the weaker gentry dared not provoke them.

In Hao Qi's close observation of these people, he spent about a whole day looking at these people clearly, and then...

"Sir, are you a goblin?"

Just as Hao Qi was about to finish his observation and then directly deal with the scumbags among the scumbags, suddenly a little girl's voice rang behind him.

Hao Qi turned his head strangely and saw a thin girl in a dirty and ragged dress, about eleven or twelve years old standing by the road and looking at him. Hao Qi looked around and pointed at him.

The little girl nodded and said, "Yes, sir, it seems that no one around you can see you, so are you a legendary goblin?"

There are legends of fairies in this world, and they are circulated in a very profound and wide manner. Almost all the people have been circulating. However, with the spread and strength of the Holy Church, including fairies, witches, etc., they have gradually become weaker. The result is that a large number of people turn a blind eye to fairies, or directly deny their existence, even if they are close to them, they are completely invisible, and this is very similar to Hao Qi's current state.

But it's just a lot like it. Hao Qi is not a situation similar to a fairy who cannot see because he doesn't believe it. The reason why he makes people around him turn a blind eye to him is because he used martial arts to interfere with the vision and senses of these people. To put it simply, it directly interferes with their nerves. It sounds incredible, but this is not a problem for Hao Qi at all. As long as the opponent's strength is not higher than the internal energy realm and there is no God coverage, then this interference can basically be completed in an instant.

This made the little girl very surprised. No matter from any perspective, this little girl could not be a warrior in the inner Qi realm. Moreover, from the little girl's eyes, she was not immune to nerve interference. Her pupils did not actually look at Hao Qi, but looked in the direction of Hao Qi. To put it simply, it was a wide-area perspective, looking at a general direction, which was very wonderful.

"You... can you see me?" Hao Qi walked to the little girl, squatted down and looked at her and asked.

The little girl's eyes felt a little blank, and there was no focal length. She nodded and said, "You can see it, sir, are you a fairy?"

Hao Qi suddenly remembered the plot of the original comic book. In the original work, whether it is the little witch Serki or a little girl who appears next to the Eagle of Light, they all have a vision beyond the mortals. In their eyes, they can see things that mortals cannot see, such as seeing the spiritual light of the Eagle of Light, such as seeing the light of the Spiritual World that ordinary people cannot see. There are indeed a very small number of people in this world. They can see through the illusion and the truth, and it is likely that this world has the special humanoid qualifications of witches.

Thinking of this, Hao Qi had some thoughts about the particularity of this world, such as truth, illusion, material world, secluded world, spiritual world, abyss, and the hand of gods...

"I'm not a fairy... Why do you want to find a fairy?" Hao Qi said to the little girl.

A very obvious gray appeared in the little girl's eyes. It was a color called despair, not white, nor black, but gray, a color that could not see the future at all. The little girl bowed to Hao Qi and said softly: "Because the fairy can take the children to the dreamland without any pain, I want to follow the fairy." After that, she turned around and walked away.

When Hao Qi was talking to the little girl, he had stopped sensory interference, so everyone around him could clearly see him, and the place where he was standing was very close to the largest group of scavengers. When he saw him, the group of scavengers had already surrounded him.

You should know that this is a civilization era similar to the dark era of the Middle Ages in Europe. It was an era where people could kill people for a piece of white bread. Hao Qi was wearing a luxurious outfit that looked awesome (relative to this era), and he looked like a top-notch temperament. If there were guards next to him, even if there were only one or two people, the group of scavengers would definitely go as far as they could. But only Hao Qi was here, and their evil thoughts and greed became boiling. Whether it was kidnapping or extortion, or directly killing and taking away these expensive clothes and shoes, at least they would not lose. As for one person to die... Is it difficult to disappear one person in this chaos?

"Young Master, I said..."

The leader was one of the three leaders, a wretched man with a mouth and teeth of about 1.34 meters and aged at least fifty. He looked as ridiculous as a dwarf in front of Hao Qi's height. However, there were more than a dozen people around him, each holding a guy in his hands, and Hao Qi didn't have a weapon on his body, but this group of people was not worried at all.

Then Hao Qi still looked at the little girl, and without looking back, he reached out to pinch the dwarf's head, pulled him in front of him and said, "There are many people here, let's go next to you."

A few minutes later, Hao Qi walked out of the woods next to him. He held his chin and looked at the crowd. Among them, he immediately found the little girl he had been following. She was a child from a peasant family. It seemed that there were several other girls and boys in the family. She seemed to be the oldest of them. However, except for a lame and an old farmer who was drinking alcohol, he did not see the little girl's mother. The whole family had only a donkey with the same lame and some rags on the donkey, and nothing else.

(The next step is to start watching these peasant and serf class, let’s start with this little girl’s family…)

Hao Qi was very curious about a question. There are only so many households in this peasant family, so where did the head of the family come from? Even if it is the worst-quality spirit wine, it is also worth the same as the food. He doesn't think that this peasant family can have enough food...

The purpose of these people outside the town is to enter the town, but this is not the entry of the city in the civilized era or the peace era. As the Kusha army rages everywhere, Kusha, as a pagan in the non-Saint religion, implemented a very, very cruel massacre strategy for the occupied land. Both the army and the people were slaughtered or even torture them. Therefore, these people fled in large quantities, and it is best to naturally escape to other countries. If not, at least they have to go to cities or towns with walls.

But these nobles are not philanthropists. In fact, they never think that aristocrats and non-nobles are the same creatures. They can enter the city, either become soldiers, either have power, powerful, and rich, or have ties with nobles or subordinates. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to enter the city. Even if they want to become free laborers, they have to wait until the previous laborers die before they can enter the city.

Because of this, a large number of people were trapped outside the town. They spontaneously formed several residences outside the town. Various buildings such as straw sheds began to appear. Occasionally, nobles in the city came to these gathering places to select personnel, either as their thugs, subordinates, laborers, or maids. These quotas are the biggest luxury for people outside the city. They all longed to be selected and then live in the city. Even if they lived like dogs, they would be content.

And that night, Hao Qi learned about the food source of this farmer family...

The little girl and a younger sister, under the beating and instructions of their father, walked into a straw shed with several other men, while their father obtained a few pieces of potatoes and a few sips of bad wine...

Looking at these, Hao Qi was inexplicably reminded of the story in the Bible again...

When God saw the sins of the city and wanted to destroy all living beings in the city, the prophet said to God: "Lord, forgive me, and let me ask the Lord on behalf of the righteous in the city, if there are fifty righteous people in the city, will the Lord destroy them together with these righteous people and the wicked people?"

The Lord replied, "If there were fifty righteous people in the city, I would forgive the wicked people in the city for these righteous people."

"Although I am dust, I dare to ask the Lord, what if there are only thirty righteous people in the city?"

The Lord replied, “For these thirty righteous people, I will let the city go.”

"Please give mercy to God, what if there are only ten righteous people in the city?"

The Lord replied, “For these ten righteous people, I will forgive this city.”

"Please listen to my last word, what if there is only one righteous man in this city?"

The Lord still replied, "For this man, I will forgive this city."
