Chapter 58: It’s Even More Terrifying (1/2)
“Old Tu was right. Someone used to be dissatisfied with the executioner and drove the executioner off the stage directly during the execution!!”
Lan Shiqi heard a familiar voice, turned around, and saw Chen Kou coming towards him.
Chen Kou was also Chen Shusheng.
“Master Chen!”
“Master Chen!”
The soldier and Old Tu beside him, saluted together.
“Uncle Chen?”
Chen Kou nodded to him and said, “Shiqi, why don’t you take a day off today and come back tomorrow!”
“Can I ask why?”
Lan Shiqi was reluctant, saying that he would start to be an executioner today.
He had prepared for this day for a long time.
Chen Kou looked at the increasing number of execution grounds where people gathered in the distance and explained, “Originally, there was only one prisoner who was going to be beheaded. It would be best if you were a little more courageous, and it’s easy to get past it. However, in the middle of the night yesterday, the city guards caught a group of traffickers. The Lord of the city ordered that those people must be slaughtered today … Originally, the Lord of the city wanted them to be killed right away, but there were too many other people, and there were not enough crimes in front of the law, so they were beheaded.”
Lan Shiqi didn’t want to give in, “I can do it!”
“But, there are thirty-seven people!”
Lan Shiqi bit his lower lip, and thirty-seven people were indeed a lot.
He experienced Fu Yuanming’s feeling of execution in the illusion of inheritance, but he was a little afraid to operate with his own hands in reality.
Lan Shiqi gritted his teeth and said, “No problem!”
Chen Kou looked into Shiqi’s eyes, looked into each other’s stubborn eyes, and asked, “Have you ever killed anyone before?”
“No! But I believe that I can do it! “
Chen Kou thought for a long time before slowly saying, “Old Hu recommended you. I’ll give you a chance. Today’s execution is critical. If you are not careful, I will be in trouble. If you can’t hold on, you will change to Tu Yidao, understand?”
“Understood!”
Chen Kou’s tone was solemn, but Shiqi didn’t want to back down!
If he didn’t even dare to come to power, how could he face the teachings of Lord Sword Spirit and Senior Fu?
He would despise himself!
“Okay, get ready to go on stage!”
The execution ground in Yiyang City is much larger than the execution ground in Iron Stone City and could accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time.
The execution time was still early, and the more people on the execution ground gathered, and the entire execution ground would soon be full!
Why are there so many people?
Shiqi was already a little nervous, but now he was even more nervous!
He asked, “Are there so many people in every execution?”
Tu Yidao said, holding his arms and looking at the people coming from a distance, “Of course not. The prisoners executed today are very special!”
“Human traffickers?
“Yes, they are human traffickers!” Tu Yidao said through gritted teeth, “This group of human traffickers are not simple; they are the masters of the TrueOrigin Realm. They are very good at disguising and hiding traces. They are very cunning. They used to be active in Yiyang City, and The nearby villages have recently been committing crimes frantically. Within a month, they took away thousands of young children in various ways!”
Hearing thousands of young children, Shiqi took a deep breath.
“What are they doing with so many young children?”
“Oh, what else can they do?” Tu Yidao said with some pretension, “the young children are much more useful; they can be sold to the Demon Dao Sect or Demon Dao Martial Artists for cultivation, and they can be sold to the killer. By organizational training, they can be sold to aristocratic family sects to train as dead slaves. As long as there are enough numbers, it is a big business, and there is not enough profit. How can you let the True Origin Realm masters put down their bodies and become traffickers?”
“You don’t know how many people in the neighborhood hate these traffickers. You will see them today!”
Lan Shiqi was surprised and said, “How dare they run wild in Yiyang City?”
“Of course not, so their whereabouts are secret!” Tu Yidao continued, “Children are missing in ordinary people’s homes. As long as they are clean, the masters in the city lord’s mansion will not pay attention. However, they have made too much noise recently. There are thousands of people a month, no matter whose territory, no one can bear it!”
“How can they be so crazy?”
“Do you think they are stupid?” Tu Yidao said, “I can guess one or two reasons …”
Then Tu Yidao shut up and smiled at Lan Shiqi, with a look of you begging me!
Reading was the most annoying dog; talking was the most annoying!
Shiqi really couldn’t stand it.
Chen Hao reminded him, “Don’t talk, don’t pay attention to him!”
