In the Middle Ages, there were specialized "witch hunters", as the name suggests, they made a living by finding witches and handing them over to the courts for rewards, and here's how those rotten criminal laws worked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Forced hunger strike

Around 670 A.D., the Archbishop of Canterbury punished the witch by starving her, saying to her: "You will only eat bread and drink water for seven years."

deportation

Around 860 A.D., King Æthelred decided to expel all the witches in the country - the witches annoyed him. But less than a hundred years later, the king of Ethestan decided to kill all the witches. It seems that this man really can't stand the witch's slightest......

Hanged

In 1563, a new law said that witches in England and Scotland must die. Witches in England were hanged, witches in Scotland were burned.

In 1566, for example, Agnes Waterhouse was convicted of treason and hanged in Chelmsford. What about his crimes? The judge said, "Because you killed a man who annoyed you with your cat named Satan." So you are guilty. Satan also destroyed the local livestock, soiled the neighbor's butter, killed the neighbor's goose, and also killed your husband. I declare that you will be hung by a rope until you die. “

drown

Around 990 AD, King Olaf Trigwassen of Norway ordered witches to be tied up and thrown to an island with only stones. When the tide was high, they drowned.

pillory

John Berzin was a London fortune teller who was arrested in 1390. His crime was to tell fortunes to others. Birkin was put in shackles for an hour, jailed for another two weeks, and then the old law - deportation.

Wear a top hat

In 1467, William Berg of South Yorkshire was arrested for seeking answers from a crystal ball. He said the crystal ball could tell him the name of the thief. As a result, Berg was forced to wear a top hat that said he was a fortune teller.

behead

In 1540, people asked each other, "How long did King Henry VIII the Big Fat live?" “

Lord Hungerford tried to use witchcraft to predict. He was caught, and his punishment was to be beheaded. Because he was a lord, he was not hanged.

Stoning to death

The earliest mention of punishment for witches was in the Bible. In Leviticus 20:27 it is written, "Wizards and witches deserve to die, and people must stone them and pour out the blood of sin on them." “

The common people can join in, but they must use small stones, because then the prisoner dies slowly and painfully.

Burned

In some countries, such as Scotland, witches are burned to death. Usually they are strangled first so that they are not too painful when they slowly burn to death in the fire.

Particularly cruel torture wardens would use wet wood to tie up prisoners, because the fire burns very slowly.

Between 1590 and 1680, there were at least four or more large-scale witch hunts that terrified the whole of Scotland. In Aberdeen in 1597, 23 women and 1 man were strangled and burned to death, and the rest committed suicide in prison for fear of such a death.

Chiseled to death

In 415 A.D., Hypatia, a wise woman in Alexandria, was accused of being a witch. A group of Christians attacked her, and they chiseled her to death with broken pieces of porcelain. This punishment was invented by the Roman monarch Constantine. ----introduction

"Shut up, stop me!" Xi Min took a big step back, suddenly took out a gun from his bag and pointed it at me, "Yun Jie, I warn you, don't come near me!" ”

"Yun Jie!" Seeing Xi Min pull out his gun, Death on one side nervously rushed in front of me and blocked me behind.

"Death, get out of the way!" Xi Min looked indignantly at Death standing in front of me, looking desperate to protect me, "Damn, you get out of the way for me!" Obviously, I am the school flower held in the palm of everyone's hand, why do you want to block the gun for Yun Jie? ”

"Death, get out of the way!" I shouted nervously, too.

"I don't want it!" Death yelled even more stubbornly.

Just when I was arguing and nervous with the Dead, something unexpected happened.

Xi Min, who was originally aiming the gun at us, suddenly let out a painful ** sound. Confused, I looked back at her and saw that her pistol-holding hand was slowly turning around and finally aimed at her own face.

"No, don't ......" Ximin's face was a mixture of fear and panic, and she shook her head and screamed loudly, but the hand holding the pistol seemed to have a will of its own, and pointed the muzzle of the gun firmly at herself.

In the next second, a loud bang came.

Xi Min's eyes widened and she collapsed in a pool of blood.

Death and I looked at each other in horror, not understanding what had happened in that moment. Why did Xi Min suddenly turn her gun on herself?

"Really, so disobedient, I wasted another chess piece." A man's voice, at this moment, came coldly from behind us.

Death and I hurriedly turned back, only to find that at some point, a strange stranger was standing behind us. He stood so close to us that I almost touched each other's bodies as soon as I turned around.

"Who are you?" I nervously took a step back and asked.

"Me? Everyone calls me Dr. K, or so, if you want. The stranger looked at me, smiled faintly, and said.

"Dr. K?"

"That's right." Dr. K suddenly reached out, pinched my chin, took a closer look at my face, and said, "Tut-tut...... No matter how you look at it, this is all precious material, and if you don't study it, I'm really sorry for yourself. ”

Belch...... I watched in amazement as the man pinched my chin and shook his head and muttered to himself, as if I were a decoration.

"Hey......" I opened my mouth at the same time as Death, and was about to reprimand this guy named Dr. K for his rude behavior, but I heard him shake his head and whisper again, "It's a pity, you're that person's sister!"

The man's sister......

What do you mean?

My blood suddenly froze because of Dr. K's words.

The man's sister......

Could it be that this guy named Dr. K, he knows my brother who has disappeared for more than seven years?

Guessing that maybe this strange guy named Dr. K would know my brother's whereabouts, he was half-forced and half-seduced, and Death and I followed him to a special laboratory. And Xi Min's body was also disposed of by the entourage behind him, as if she had never existed.
