James still didn't speak.

A Westerner in the seat below stood up and said, "I am his defender, please allow me to come to the stage to defend myself." ”

The judge looked at the two island owners.

Ji Guanglai and Ning Fengquan nodded at the same time. Allowing defense is a public trial principle, and even if they hate James no matter how much they hate that, it can't change that.

The judge said: "You can come up to the stage to defend, but I must remind you that this is Kowloon Island, and you can only defend according to our rules, and do not use your Western legal system and vocabulary to disgust us." ”

The defender took the stage and began to defend James.

"First of all, everyone has to understand that this is not killing, it is a religious ritual. They are all voluntary. This was clearly recorded in James's ministry to them. ”

He pulled out a hard drive, "This is a video of James giving them his first baptism, and it clearly records the girls who willingly accepted what James had done to them by God's grace. ”

The judge took the hard drive, asked people to move out the large TV screen in the hall on the first floor of the town government, connected the computer reading device, plugged in the hard drive, and started playing.

Sure enough, there was a picture of a girl kneeling in front of James.

James's voice was heard in the picture: "Will you follow God's will and bask in the light of the sun forever?"

Remember the URL

"I do. The girl said.

"Will you burn your body like the sun for the eternal light, and cast out the darkness?"

"I do. ”

"Can you dedicate everything you have, including your body, your soul, and even your life, to this ideal?"

"I do. ”

……

So many questions were asked, and the girl kept saying the word "I do". Those who don't know think it's a wedding, not a judgment meeting.

After saying a lot of "I do," James took out a cross and dangled it over the girl, as if looking at her blemishes with a magnifying glass to determine if the item was qualified.

After a while, James said:

"Next, before you officially become the daughter of the sun, I will baptize you, wash away the dirt from your body, and let you leave the filth of the world forever and receive the holy light of God. I will implant your faith in your soul, as you have just promised. My daughter, I tell you, if one day you lose your faith, you will lose the love of God, and your holy soul will collapse and fall into darkness forever. I'll ask you one last time, don't you regret it?"

"I don't regret it. ”

"I will use my pre-acquired God-given holy body to fellowship with you and bathe you in divine love. Then I will blindfold you, dissect your body, take out your heart, liver and kidneys, wash your sinful body, and put you on the sea to drift with the waves. If you have passed the test, when the sun rises, someone will take off your blindfold, and you will be reborn in the first rays of dawn. ”

"Thy countenance rises from the darkness, and the sky is covered with colour, and the earth rejoices in thy fire...... Thou hast made the stars retreat, Thou hast made the earth bright, Thou art the King of the gods, and with thy fire we are on our way to eternal life......"

James in the video begins to sing hymns of praise.

The girl kneeling in front of him looked up at him and sang along, her face full of divine happiness.

After this scene, the video cuts into the next scene, which is still the same scene, the same words, just a different girl.

The people in the square fell silent.

The simple islanders had never seen or heard such a thing. They are at a loss as to what to do.

People who have lived on the sea for generations have believed in God. They believed that no one would survive the berserk sea without God's protection.

In their hearts, God is good and good.

Although their intuition told them that James's God and his works were problematic, it was difficult for them to refute it with their limited knowledge and reason.

"See!" the defender smirked, "they're all voluntary. The girl you are talking about died because she did not pass God's test and was not reborn at dawn, but God gave her back her body and let her go home. Otherwise, how do you think that a corpse was found and brought back by you?"

It seems to make a lot of sense.

The defender was even more proud: "So, this is just a religious ceremony, not murder! In the past, you ignorant Orientals often used virgins to sink into the rivers and seas in order to please the gods. But that's not a god, that's a demon. For none of the boys and girls were of their own free will. If you don't want to, it's a sin! And the girls James named were all voluntary. How can it be considered murder if you are baptized voluntarily!"

This set of arguments is naturally untenable in a normal country and mature society, but it is very powerful on an island where there is no perfect legal system and the public opinion is all based on public opinion.

Just when the people were silent and James was triumphant, a voice suddenly asked:

"So, what about the missing girls? Did God forget to return the bodies?"

The person who spoke was Sister Mei.

Sister Mei was very angry. Very angry.

As a well-known Lanmen thief, what kind of things have not been experienced? But there has never been an incident that makes her so angry that her lungs are about to explode.

This is the real murderous demon!

"They?" the defender smiled slightly, "of course they have been reborn, become the daughter of the sun, and in the world of the gods, forever bask in the divine light!"

"Really?" said Ning Fengquan, the master of the three islands, coldly, "Is it like her?"

He gestured to the side of the square with his hand.

The crowd parted, and someone came with a cart loaded with a cage in which was a cloak and slimy thing.

The thing was lying in a cage with a bulging belly, much like a toad with a human head.

The defender's expression changed.

When the islanders saw such a thing, they were puzzled and didn't know what it was.

Ning Fengquan stood up, pointed to the person in the cage and said, "Fathers, open your eyes and see, who is she?"

A gust of wind blew from nowhere, just in time to blow the hair of the toad man in the cage.

Only then did people see clearly that it was a person, and they couldn't help but gasp.

The sharp-eyed man exclaimed, "She...... She's Yaya!

was reminded by him like this, and many people recognized it.

Yaya's parents rushed up first, threw themselves in front of the cage, and cried out: "Yaya! Yaya......"

He turned around and knelt down to Ning Fengquan again, pleading, "Lord Sandao, why did my daughter become like this? Lord Sandao, you must save her!"

Ning Fengquan helped them up, his face was sad, and said, "Two, mourn, Yaya is dead, she was killed by them!"

He pointed to James and his defender, "This is what you call the daughter of the sun, this is bathed in the light of God? no, this is hell, you demons, you devils, you have done people like this, and you are still arguing here." In the name of God, he deceived a woman of a good family, raped and then killed, cut out his heart, abandoned him on the sea, and demonized his corpse with evil magic, turning him into a person who was neither a ghost nor a ghost. If a demon like this is allowed to leave today, I might as well sink Kowloon Island!"

"Can't let him go!"

"Avenge Yaya!"

"Murder pays for life!"

"Sink him into the sea!"

"Yes, Shen Hai!"

"Sink the sea!"

"Sink the sea, sink the sea, sink the sea......"

The islanders shouted in unison, and their anger soared into the sky.
