Prologue - Crossing over to become an executioner
Space out...... Someone calling me?
"Hey, hey, are you asleep! What are you doing? What are you doing, ah, it's hard, please hurry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
I was so dizzy that I couldn't open my eyes even though the rough voice changed from calling to shouting. I even felt him hit me with something round.
"You actually fell asleep during the execution, are you the executioner, do you hear! Wake me up!"
The voice was so angry that it knocked me to the ground, and when I finally opened my eyes, the light above my head pierced me so that I couldn't see the man's face clearly, except that he was kneeling on the ground, and his hands and feet seemed to be tied to a cross.
I shook my head, which was still a little dazed, stood up on the floor, slightly fascinated by my eyes, and when I was familiar with this brightness, I opened my eyes again and saw that I was in a strange room, no roof and no wall, not without walls, but in the direction facing south, the blue bricks and stones on the east and west sides were about 2 meters high, which really could not be called a wall, and the north side was the direction behind me was a pitch-black iron fence and iron gate, a bit like the kind of prison cell where prisoners were held.
I couldn't help but look at the ground, the bricks on the floor were different from the walls, they were unpleasantly white, without any stains, and the contrast with the slight maroon spots on the wall, an unpleasant feeling.
The next kneeling man in the center of the room must have been the one who woke me up, naked and covered with strange thread-like tattoos, torn linen pants on his lower body, looking like a prisoner, pouting and staring at me with some unpleasantness, he has no hair and is a Wu Ke, Wu Ke? I was a little puzzled by the unfamiliar words that suddenly popped up in my mind, and then I understood that it was bald.
"Hey, wake up, let's hurry up and execute. ”
The prisoner shouted unhappily again, and I subconsciously met his eyes, annoyed, unhappy, nostalgic, guilty, like the eyes of a dying person, complex and difficult to distinguish.
Execution?Execution?Execution?Death row? I'm going to execute?I'm the executioner, I'm the executioner?Am I dreaming?
My mind was racing and I looked around and at the prisoners in the room again, and I walked to the edge of the wall and looked down.
The boundless blue sea, the bustling and lively city, the cliff above the city behind you, the majestic and towering castle built against the mountain on the left, the flag with the lion head with a red background and gold stripes fluttering everywhere, and a few seagulls around and frolicking, and on the right is the steep and upright cliff and the sea, and the waves at the bottom are constantly crashing, fierce and terrifying.
The salty and mysterious scent of the sea breeze slapped me from time to time, and I realized that I still had long black hair, soft and fragrant, and I subconsciously touched my chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
No, why should I breathe a sigh of relief, why should I execute prisoners in this place where no one is watching?
At this thought, all kinds of memories kept pouring out of my mind, the Twilight Sub-Empire, the territory of Duke Lionheart, Haihui City, Inhumans, death row prisoners, Earth, cities, office workers.
I was stunned by two completely different but all of my memories, I was Regram, the only alien executioner in the Principality and the Empire, an indifferent and ruthless executioner, and I was Wang Hui, an ordinary office worker in the Celestial Empire.
"You haven't seen enough of the scenery for many years, if you have seen enough, hurry up and do it, are you humiliating me!" the death row prisoner urged very unhappily behind him.
What to do next, Regram's memory tells me that noon has passed and the execution is long overdue, and Wang Hui's memory tells me that I have no right to end the life of others, even if it is a death row inmate, I am not an executioner.
I thought about it and walked over to him, crouched down, and asked.
"You...... What's it called?"
The death row inmates looked at me in amazement.
"Duslu. ”
"What a capital offense. ”
"Robbery and murder. ”
"Why do robberies kill. ”
The death row inmate was silent for a moment.
"Missed. ”
"Why robbery. ”
The death row prisoner frowned.
"What are you doing, if there is another way to live, I won't rob it, isn't this nonsense. ”
Reminiscing about Regram's memories, I was silent, is that so.
"You...... It's an alien. ”
Death row inmates are getting unhappy again.
"Aren't you an Inhuman executioner, you say? ”
"......" Thinking about the consequences of letting people go, and the reasons and opportunities for escape, I asked again. "Do you want to escape? ”
The death row inmate looked at me in surprise, then shook his head.
"You're sleepy, I don't want to run away. ”
"Why. ”
"If I escape, I will still be caught, and even if I don't get caught, I will still commit crimes because I can't live. ”
"It's always an opportunity. ”
"No, this is the opportunity, and when I die, it is the relief. ”
I couldn't help but clench my fists.
"Don't you have any other worries and want to live for? ”
The death row inmate laughed to himself.
"Ha, I'm an alien, and on the day I was known to be an alien, there would be no place for me in this world. ”
"You ......"
"Needless to say, just like the old mother in the old age, if you are an executioner, be decisive, and talk to me, a person who is going to die. ”
I looked at his eyes, bright and shining, where he looked like a dying man, obviously full of hope. I stood up in silence, lifted my robe, pulled out the revolver from my waist and aimed it at his forehead.
"You're still using the obsolete firearms, and you're really an old guy. The death row inmate said this with a sneer, and then closed his eyes.
I blessed him in my heart, and in my hand, Regram's memory expertly pulled the trigger.
"Bang. As the gun rang out, an inaudible voice of "Thank you......" came into my ears.
Then, the red liquid splashed onto the wall, and he hung his head heavily on top of me, unable to make a sound.
Closing my eyes and not wanting to look at him again, I turned and opened the iron door and walked out.
Descend the spiral staircase to the end to a courtyard full of flowers and plants, and continue to the side door of the castle.
"Good work, Lord Regram. "The soldiers on the side saw me and saluted.
"Well, you've worked hard too. As I spoke, I pulled out the weapon from my waist.
"Lord Regram, it's been a little longer today, are the death row inmates resisting? The soldier standing on the other side asked curiously.
Hearing this, my hand paused, then handed him the robe, and replied.
"No, just a little chat. ”
After handing over everything, I ignored the doubtful soldiers and walked straight out of the castle towards the city.
In the afternoon in the late spring and early summer, the sun was bright and dazzling, and under the scorching sun, I returned to my home, an area in the middle of the city, which was visible from the onlookers of mobile vendors and crowded shops, large and small.
I entered the house, walked into the bedroom from memory, washed my face, and fell on the bed, and it was only then that I really came to my senses.
What kind of world is this, the death penalty for crimes of different races, all kinds of tricky laws that can be committed at will, and he is still an executioner.
Sighing heavily, the alien race, according to another memory, is the so-called barbarians, orcs and the like are more understandable, all non-human races.
In this world, divided into two empires, the human empire "Dusk Jueya" and the alien empire "Tipster", the two countries are divided by impassable mountains, and merchants travel to and from each other by sea, which takes half a year.
Why there are so many alien races, it is because a hundred years ago, when there were no two empires, only the human Twilight sub-empire, human explorers accidentally had other intelligent creatures in the depths far away from the area of human activity, and human beings came into contact with them because of curiosity, and the two gradually became familiar with each other for trading, trade, tourism and residence, and then gradually, the two lived in the same country, so that the peaceful days lasted until the outbreak of war.
Whether it is a human race or an alien race, the war that lasted for several years suffered heavy casualties, and at this time, the mountain range of the gods that suddenly appeared one day to divide the two places divided the two, and the empire became two.
Probably tired of the reason for the killing, the alien races that remained in the human country were not exterminated.
But they are also not being treated as they deserve.
Slaves, tools, cannon fodder in aristocratic war games, and countless ugly deeds, only a few aliens have become successful people.
Even then, they are not treated well by the Empire, and the general aliens are struggling among the poor and commoners, and the laws against them are even harsher, and the criminals are basically executed on the spot, no matter how big or small, and only a few tricky aliens will be arrested and put on death row, and escorted to Haihui City, the only one under the laws of the Empire that has the right to enforce the "alien punishment".
The lord is worthy of being the king's most trusted duke, and such a peculiar right says so much and can do too much.
However, it has nothing to do with me, I am just an executioner.
So, what to do after that, can you quit this position?
Thinking about it, this body is nearly 30 years old, and he has no strengths, and in another memory, he is also an ordinary office worker, and he has no specialties.
I have savings, but I can't afford to squander, and I recall the memories of Regram, as I expected, with no relatives and friends, alone, no wonder to be an executioner, without concern or affection.
I shouldn't complain so much, because I'm Regram, I just hope that I can slowly change it in the future, after all, I want to live a good normal life.
"In that case, we can only take a look at it first. "Open the window, it's a sunny day this season, I took a deep breath and whispered firmly. "I'm Regram, and I'm Wang Hui. ”
