Chapter 45: The Night of the Church

"Philosophers say, impulsiveness is the devil, I say farting! Everyone's relatives and brothers are in the enemy camp, and you let us not save them? I don't care about you! ”

North Star City Center, Golden Dragon Plaza. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today in North Star City is sunny and the sky is clear. The Golden Dragon Square was a bit lively, and the crowd was surging, and many citizens flocked to the celebration area.

The festival area of Golden Dragon Square is used for festivals and festivals. For example, national holidays such as the Harvest Festival and the Holy Dragon Day are celebrated by the citizens of North Star City to commemorate various celebrities and events. Today, however, the taste is very different, and the celebration area is now guarded by rows of guards, with the gallows at the center of the guards' guidelines.

At this moment, the "witch" and the "wise man" did not take the usual path, they were not in the crowd, but chose to stand on the spire of the Yunge Tavern and watch all this. The witch's long purple curls make her stand out from the heights, and the strange big hat of the "wise man" can also be seen at a glance.

"I said, miss, are you afraid that you won't be discovered by the guards and people below?" The "wise man" had an extra pair of glasses in his outfit today, and he pushed the frame of his glasses and looked at the gallows downstairs.

The "witch" didn't care about the words of the man with glasses next to her, but just lightly tapped her brain with her hand, which means "use your brain to think". As soon as she reminded him, the "wise man" suddenly realized, and he laughed: "I really want to know, when my godmother was young, was she like you?" In such a place, there is no need to use it as a "mirror image" of the seventh-level spiritual art, right? Generally speaking, a three-level "mirage" is enough! ”

"You're so stupid, the 'Mirage' is just a trick that uses the refraction and total reflection of light, and it can't completely eliminate the smell of the caster and the movement of the spirit child. "Mirroring" is equivalent to creating a replication realm, independent of the normal spirit child environment, and no one can detect what is happening here. The "witch" turned her head to look at the man with glasses next to her, her eyes pursed into one, revealing a look of disgust for him. Don't look at me like I usually do, when I really want to carry out a mission, I am very cautious. I don't want those black-robed men to find us. ”

"Well, you're already powerful, I'm just responsible for using my brain in the back. Among the nine people, you are the strongest in spiritual arts! Before my godmother came out, she said that you should take care of it, didn't she, my miss? ”

"Not to mention that, grandma asked us to come here to cooperate with the newcomer to find out the whereabouts of the compass. Now that there are more and more people, the main drama is about to start, and Su Cheng is about to come to an end. Let's take a closer look at what happens next. ”

Looking at the increasingly crowded crowd downstairs, the eyes of the "witch" began to become serious, after coming to North Star City for a few days, she and the "wise man" have been tracking down the whereabouts of the compass, and now, the actors are about to take the stage one after another, and the clues are among them.

North Star City Church.

"Su Mu! Wake up! Qinia lifted Su Mu's life and shook his body.

Su Mu opened his eyes and rubbed them with his hands, he was really tired these days, and he always felt that he hadn't slept enough. Feeling the temperature of the sun shining on his face, he opened his eyes suddenly, and he was greeted by a panicked and unexpected look on his face, which told him that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

"Your father... Your father will be hanged at noon! ”

This bad news made Su Mu's eyes suddenly as big as a fist, and he blew him up from the bed. He didn't even bother to tidy up his clothes and rushed out, and Chenia hurriedly followed.

"Impossible! A week later, it's only the fifth day! Ripley said in advance... In advance... Holy! Su Mu now knew that the execution that Ripley and Su Lun had said in Jenny Rose Fang would be so much faster. There was no room for Su Mu to react at all, he wanted to rush back to the thieves' union to discuss a solution.

Qinia quickly recalled the content of the eavesdropping in Jenny's Rose Workshop, her face suddenly turned pale, her voice burst out from low to high, and she yelled at Su Mu, who was running quickly in front: "Can't go!" That's a trap! Qinia recalled Ripley's words, they wanted to use Su Cheng's death penalty to lure out the Su family, and then catch them all, Su Mu was now in the past.

Su Mu's pace slowed down after hearing this, but soon he was fast again, even if it was a trap, he had to go. I didn't think much about it at all, the speed under my feet was only fast and not slow, and with the crowd that was constantly pouring towards Jinlong Square, the boiling Su Mu rushed in.

Because of the crowd, Qinia couldn't follow Su Mu closely, and Su Mu quickly disappeared from her sight. If Su Cheng died, Su Mu would still be a clue. If Su Mu is also caught, then the clue of the compass will be broken, Qi Niya thought of this, and squeezed into the crowd.

She had to stop Su Mu from going to die, and at the same time to complete her mission.

Golden Dragon Square is a representative of auspiciousness and well-being, symbolizing the pioneering and indomitable spirit of the people of North Star City. It is ironic that it is now occupied by the gallows.

The sun was about to rise to its peak, and Su Cheng was escorted to the gallows by two guards, he was covered with a cloth bag, and he couldn't see what was happening outside, only the sound of a noisy crowd, mixed with some insults to himself. Among them, there are many people who hate the Su Chamber of Commerce, and there are also those who can't eat grape skins and say that grapes are sour, of course, most of them are just good things to watch the excitement.

Suren and Ripley, along with Sheriff Chief Wendell, followed them to the gallows. Wendell's eyes were full of strangeness and unhappiness, he couldn't understand, what qualifications did these two businessmen have to come to the execution ground? It stands to reason that this is already within the jurisdiction of the North Star City Court, and Ripley and Suren are simply "irrelevant idle people".

During Su Cheng's detention, Wendell had already written to the court twice to ask for a new collection of evidence, hoping that the court would extend Su Cheng's execution, and he felt that there were still many doubts that needed to be confirmed. Originally, the chief justice had agreed to his application the day before yesterday, but who knew that the chief justice suddenly died at home yesterday. His replacement not only did not postpone Su Cheng's execution, but also accelerated the date so that the execution could take place today.

Wendell has a big question about the death of the Chief Justice, and he feels more and more that Ripley and Suren are "wrong" in this incident, but the government officials above have repeatedly warned him not to worry too much and let the matter pass as soon as possible.

Su Lun looked very energetic today, and this middle-aged bald man with a big belly walked up to Su Cheng and picked up the cloth bag.

Su Cheng couldn't open his eyes because of the strong sunlight. After relieving himself and finding out that it was Su Lun, he directly spit saliva in his face, and opened his mouth to scold: "Su Lun, you bastard!" He didn't hesitate to frame his family for his own strength, you brute! Then Su Cheng took another mouthful of saliva and spit on Ripley, who was walking next to him.

Su Lun was spit out very gaffe by these two mouthfuls of saliva, probably because of his weak heart, in the face of the anger of his brother Su Cheng, he seemed a little flustered and was about to speak. Ripley rushed directly to Su Cheng is punch. Then he turned to the crowd and said loudly:

"Today, North Star City, the capital of freedom, will usher in a new day and a new era! This oriental man behind me illegally smuggled, trafficked drugs, made false accounts, created the Yunge bombing, and even sold it to the Messidia strategic mineral source! Betrayed the precious minerals of my empire, such a foreigner, if he is not executed, where is the dignity of my empire! ”

With Ripley's speech, the crowd in the audience boiled, and many people in the front row began to throw tomatoes, potatoes, peels, etc. to Su Cheng, they didn't know the truth, they only knew that the "facts" that Ripley said were affecting their lives and dignity. For human dignity, at such times, is often easily instigated.

"Ripley! Since the development of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, you have not lost the benefits! I've never seen a brazen person like you! I used to be able to kneel down and ask me for help, but now I'm not ashamed to say it here! I'm dying, I'm afraid you won't make it! A man's words must be true! If you think about it carefully, do you work under him and live a very good life! ”

Su Cheng's words made the audience start to talk about it again, although Ripley deducted Su Cheng for various crimes, but the treatment of the Ripley Chamber of Commerce itself was indeed far lower than that of the Su Chamber of Commerce in North Star City.

"Su Cheng's words also make some sense..."

"Su Cheng may not be a good thing, but Ripley is really picky..."

"It doesn't matter, I can't see this scene every day today, how exciting it is to hang!"

Ripley was not moved by the audience, and continued to say in his own way: "Su Cheng's words are ridiculous! These Eastern chambers of commerce, taking advantage of the efforts of our imperial people, have been seeking their own benefits, and they are also colluding with Messidia! This kind of vampire is innocent of death! As he spoke, Ripley's eyes kept wandering, he was very concerned about the dynamics near the gallows, and the appearance of the Su family was what he was most concerned about at the moment.

Su Cheng was just a bait to lure out the Su brothers and Wang Li.

Chenia was able to see exactly what was going on on the stage, and along the way, she noticed anomalies in the celebration area: the dense crowd of guards, and the archers lurking in the corridors of the high platforms and buildings, which confirmed her trap conclusion that they were hoping to catch the Su family here. Su Mu is now in critical condition!

Qinia has been searching for Su Mu, but in the vast sea of people, she can't see him at all.

At this time, in the building closest to the gallows, Su Mu had already sneaked in. His father's yelling just now made him hear it clearly, and it also tugged at his heartstrings incomparably, he no longer had his usual calmness at the moment, and even decided to use the acceleration of the spiritual wind technique to rush into the gallows and grab Su Cheng later.

"What people!" A guard seemed to have discovered Su Mu's traces, lowered his head and walked over with a gun, Su Mu, who was hiding in the corner, didn't give him much time, and flashed out with a punch. After knocking the guards unconscious, he hid them.

At this time, there was movement on the gallows again, and it was Ripley's proud voice: "Now, it is time to execute this scum of the business world, a traitor to the people!" He, Su Cheng, is not worthy of hanging at all, and the next thing he wants to greet is beheading! ”

The crowd boiled again, and Wendell on the stage couldn't stand still, and he questioned Su Lun, who was closest to him: "What's the matter!" How can such enforcement procedures be changed on an ad hoc basis? How could Ripley do such a thing! ”

Su Lun looked very flustered at this time, this was not in line with the decision of the audience, he felt that as long as Su Cheng died to lure out the Su family, he didn't expect Ripley to play this play. He realized that this guy was a little overplayed, and even with backstage support, he couldn't go too far. Suren hurriedly explained to Wendell, "Maybe... Maybe that's how the court judged. ”

"Fart! You businessmen will have retribution, and I will not accompany you! Go and do it yourself! With angry words aside, Wendell strode off the gallows, which was no longer a serious execution, but a ridiculous farce for him. Wendell knew in his heart that this execution was no longer simple, and the forces behind Ripley had given him the power to mess around.

"Su Cheng, it's too worthless for you to die in the hands of these two people." Walking on the road, Wendell closed his eyes, and he never thought that a person who had been in the mall for twenty years would come to such an end.

When he heard the "beheading", Su Mu's face instantly turned pale, he couldn't look any longer, took out the Antea short sword at his waist, Su Mu rushed up to the corridor, he was ready to jump down directly, rush up to deal with Ripley, and then save his father.

On the gallows, Su Cheng did not stop insulting Ripley, and the latter didn't seem to care, looking at the executioner who walked up to the stage, he felt that it was not exciting enough. I saw him step forward, snatching the executioner's decapitation knife, with an extremely cruel and perverted smile on his face.

has been suppressed by Su Cheng for so many years, and he has always been at a disadvantage in business, and he still talks to himself about benevolence, righteousness and morality everywhere, which is what Ripley doesn't like about Su Cheng the most. At first, he was still focused on paying attention to Su Cheng's family, but at this time, he couldn't resist the urge to kill Su Cheng. After more than ten years of repression, he couldn't restrain it, he couldn't restrain it at all! He's going to be unleashed!

This man named Ripley now didn't care at all whether the Su family would show up or not, he wanted to enjoy this moment, enjoy the moment of cutting off Su Cheng's head.

"Humph! Su Cheng, I finally waited for this moment, you have been blocking my eyes, you will die today! ”
