Chapter 98: The Moon of Despair
"At that moment, he finally understood that in this era of ignorance and ignorance, the murder and the slaughter of people were never weapons and monsters, but the surging public opinion that was swayed by wantonly." - "Red Fury Fang"
...
The sound of demanding the execution of two "** elements" surging like a tide, rushing towards the central square one after another, and its loudness is no less than the roar in the dawn arena, resounding throughout the sky, even in the wilderness ten miles away, vaguely audible.
Marquis Charles wiped his tears helplessly, pounded his chest with pain, then turned around and gave the people around him a "fair" answer, the death penalty!
Under the sound of gunfire filled with gun smoke, two consuls who struggled and roared, the two consuls of the Republic were hit in the head by the bullets in the mouth of the executioner. One of them was splashed in his head and died on the spot.
Another was not so lucky. The dampness of the air after the heavy rain covered the barrel of water mist, and the shooting was deviated. The bullets broke one side of his head and took half of his life away, but failed to kill it completely.
The consul of the Republic's glitter was twitching on the ground. Due to his brain damage, his body was out of control and even the excrement overflowed from under his body. However, his angry eyes stared at Marquis Charles with the most vicious curse in his life, as if he was about to spew out a flame with sulfur.
Marquis Charles was inexplicably stared at and asked the executioner to make a second shot.
I don't know if the climate was too wet or some hint, the shot was crooked again. Although the bullet lifted the executive's skull and the brain was mixed with blood, it still failed to kill him completely. Instead, it made his body twitch even more severely, and the violent shaking almost broke away from the tied rope.
Under the stern gaze of Marquis Charles, the executioner could not hold back. He could imagine what punishment he would be if he made another mistake. This time, he kicked the consul in the body with his viciousness, and the gun was directly pressed against his heart, and then pulled the trigger.
This time, when the bullet broke the heart, the consul finally died and got rid of the previous pain. However, the glaring eyes were always open, as if under the guidance of some kind of force, they turned strangely towards the direction where Marquis Charles was, which made the experienced executioner feel a little scared. In order to avoid the long dreams of the night, he stepped on the corpse's face and stomped on the strange eyes.
Marquis Charles finally felt at ease. Finally, he turned his eyes to the Moon Blade in front of the guillotine. At this moment, without waiting for him to say anything, or even without him saying anything, the surging voices of the people unanimously demanded that he be executed.
Rebels, the word "Rebels" has been despised by the land of Jiuzhou since the beginning of the emergence of Chinese civilization. It has been criticized for a long time and has been despised for thousands of years. Therefore, the charges of Tongran's rebels are the most hated.
Influenced by historical factors, the Republicans have more or less a sense of family blood in their hearts. The so-called "Dragon gives birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and rats give birth to children to dig holes in the ground" is the truth, even if they don't say it, they will still show it intentionally or unintentionally, in the old era, and even more so in the era of collapse.
According to legal principles, whether the family members really colluded with enemies, as a descendant of the family, Yue Ren should have been innocent, but on that bloody night, she was sentenced to death by the Marquis' brother-in-law. Because of this, she vowed to survive with humiliation and survive no matter what.
Last night, when the Marquis gave his promise of freedom, Yue Blade had never been so confused and excited. After years of perseverance, it finally came to an end. This was undoubtedly the most dreamy thing for a girl who lived in the blood of the enemy and the body fluids of a man all day long. However, all the fantasies were shattered in the rainy night yesterday, and she still didn't understand what happened last night.
When she was escorted to the guillotine, even at this moment, Yue Ren hoped that this was just a nightmare. Even if she woke up, she could continue her humiliating life, no matter what, as long as she could survive...
"Wait a minute." Just as Marquis Charles was about to send a signal to the executioner, the Ghost Hand suddenly stopped him. Marquis Charles was a little stunned. This behavior was obviously beyond his expectations. He didn't know what the Ghost Hand intended. At the same time, some people from the Dawn Team, such as Al, were also looking at the Ghost Hand in surprise, with some hope in their eyes.
Al is a smart girl. Even if she doesn't understand the cause of the incident, it can be seen from Yue Ren's blank and helpless eyes that something must be strange. What's more, she just pulled Yue Ren back from the edge of hell last night, and today she will witness her being pushed into the arms of the god of death. This is really unacceptable to a doctor who saves life and helps the wounded.
At this time, Ghost Hand's voice undoubtedly gave Al a hope. She was wondering whether Ghost Hand was thinking about his former master-disciple relationship and planned to let the Marquis release the moon blade, just like Xue Ye two years ago. No matter what will happen in the future, the most important thing is to survive first, right? If you die, you will have nothing. Only by surviving can you have a future.
"Let me say a few words to her." The ghost hand put two big night swords in his hand on his shoulders and slowly walked towards the guillotine. Marquis Charles winked at the executioner and retreated together.
The ghost hand walked to the moon blade who was being held on the guillotine, squatted down slowly, and silently stared at the girl in front of him. He said nothing, his eyes were very complicated and deep, so it was hard to see through.
"I want to... live..." Fear, despair, humiliation... Yue Ren raised her head helplessly, and tears flowed out of her eyes unconsciously. This was the first time she cried since the Blood Night two years ago. Before that, even if she was chopped and bruised in the arena, even if she was humiliated by a man and her lower body was torn apart, she had not shed a single tear.
"It's probably very difficult, after all, something like that happened." Ghost Hand's tone revealed a hint of vicissitudes. I wonder if he was regretting the upcoming separation of life and death, but everyone around him silently felt sad for the man. After all, after two years of being together, even a dog should have feelings, let alone a living person and a child.
"Please...I want to survive! I am willing to do whatever I do. Whether I want me to continue to go to the arena, let me continue to contribute my body, even if I treat me as a pig or a dog, please let me live..." The tears on Yue Ren's face were flowing more and more. With the last hope, he looked at the ghost hand in front of her who taught her martial arts and became her master, and said painfully, "Those gendarmes were not killed by me... Please believe me..."
