From ancient times to the present, it seems that people's penchant for killing has never changed.

Watching killing people is always a very good pastime.

The vast majority of the onlookers were bounty hunters or suspected bandits, and there seemed to be no shortage of killing and gore in their daily lives, and it could even be said that they usually lived on this, however, killing people was still a very pleasant thing for these guys.

It's like a holiday.

Huang Taiyi's mind also inexplicably appeared such a strange word as "festival".

Although he knew in his heart that this was not appropriate, but there was no more appropriate word for it, probably this was a loss of culture.

Crowded at the front, of course, were the strongest people and huge strong men with extraordinary stature, they gathered together in twos and threes, and a few people could cover the whole side, like a human-shaped mountain, and the people behind had to distance themselves.

"Are they going to kill even ordinary people? Let's see what the situation is, is it a thief or something like that? ”

The most incomprehensible thing for the emperor was that the few ordinary people who were caught looked like they should soon be executed in public, if from the legal point of view of the civilized world, this kind of thing would not be allowed anyway, but the current situation is a little difficult to intervene.

"I know, I won't be impulsive, but if they really want to kill innocent people......"

"When the time comes, I'll work with you to save them, in fact, this is not what I'm most worried about."

"Huh?"

"We'll talk about that later."

Huang Taiyi shook his head a little dullly.

The worst-case scenario is that those are ready to kill the infected of the bestiality.

Should I save people or not?

Because, if it is true, there is no reason for him to save people at all.

I have no clue at all, and I am in chaos.

There are more and more onlookers.

Everyone consciously didn't get close to people who didn't look easy to mess with, such as Merlin, so the area around Huang Taiyi was relatively quiet.

Fights have begun in denser places, and those can be ignored.

"Hahaha! We've got a monster! We are the famous gopher group! I'm the general gopher here! Do you have any of you want to join? The salary is very high! “

At the head of the group, a diminutive * man was on the shoulders of a giant man, dancing and shouting at the same time, and the name on the newspaper was also a very subtle "gopher".

It seems to be some kind of Pokémon or something like that.

Many people laughed at them, and the meaning of the laughter was very different, and a large part of it was simply mockery.

Huang Taiyi also felt that if the name of an organization was "Gopher Group", it would not be famous in any case, and at most it would only make people feel very individual.

Didn't you think much more about it when you first came up with a name?

"Just catch a monster! What a smugness! ”

Sure enough, someone shouted like this, and more people laughed louder because of it.

"Hurry up, do it!"

A large part of the population is also shouting in the same way.

"Did you hear that?"

The gopher stood on the giant man's shoulder and roared condescendingly.

Two heavily armed men dragged the tightly bound beast man and pulled it in front of everyone.

Of course, the brave men in the front row are not afraid, not to mention that the beasts are still tied up, and the emperor is very frightened when he notices some people dressed as citizens hiding in the corners and watching, this kind of thing seems to have become a kind of calamity for ordinary people.

The gopher soldiers should have a good understanding of the nature of beasts, and know that if they are caught and bitten, they will be infected, so they wear exaggerated protective clothing all over their bodies, except for the gopher himself, there is only one exploding head man with a metal long stick on his back, and he is quite lightly armed.

Do you want to take this opportunity to show off your prestige or gain popularity?

Everywhere you go, you can't go without such people.

Even if the beast man is tied up, he looks very fierce, and he has been trying to break free from the chains on his body.

However, their strength was not comparable to that of two macho men, so they were dragged all the way to the erected shelf.

The main body of the shelf is a very thick pillar buried deep in the ground, and the part where the rope is attached is also welded solidly.

"Kill it!"

"Monster!"

Regardless of the attitude of the onlookers towards the gopher group just now, at this time, they began to cheer and blow the whistle in unison, and many people were gloomy and silent, but Huang Taiyi felt that there was still fanaticism in the eyes of these people.

"It looks so uncomfortable, but ...... It's already a monster......"

Merlin had seen the whole process of human beings turning into monsters, and his tense face was written with unease and embarrassment.

She knew how harmful beasts were, and she would have killed them on the spot, but the cheers of the onlookers and the laughter of the gophers were very harsh.

At this time, she thought of Huang Taiyi, so she secretly glanced at his face.

In fact, this behavior was not necessary, because she could already feel it.

The aura that Huang Taiyi exudes now is very heavy, as if he is carrying some incomparably huge heavy object, but this object is not in reality but in his heart.

Are they all in the same mood?

Merlin checked the condition of the knife to make sure it was ready for immediate use.

"Do it! Hahaha! Look at that! This is a monster that has eaten several people! What a murderous look! ”

The gopher itself has blended in with the "joyful" atmosphere, and it is really not much different from the festival.

The macho man put down the thick rope loop and put the beast man's neck on it, and the person in charge of pulling the rope quickly tightened the rope and tied it strongly, and the beast man hung in the air like a banner made out of a shopping street, shaking constantly.

Maybe what the gopher said wasn't a lie.

The applause was overpowered, but Huang Taiyi's expression became more and more indifferent.

He doesn't sympathize too much with the beast, no matter what it was before, now it's a harmful monster that can't communicate with humans, it's an enemy, so it needs to be exterminated.

The question is what will happen after that.

That would definitely be worse.

The weakness of bestials is not much different from that of humans, and most people will basically die after being hung on the gallows, and they are the same, at most they struggle a little more fiercely.

"Hahahaha! All at once he died! Give me a little more struggle! ”

The exploding man pulled out the metal stick he was carrying and slammed it into the beast's abdomen.

Maybe it's not dead yet, or maybe it's just some residual feeling on the nerves of the corpse, and the hanging beast corpse does move a few times.

This apparently displeased the exploding man, who beat him harder, the sound of metal clubs and chains clanging to and fro, a scene that was not very pleasant.

The audience also expressed various grievances about his behavior, but it was not out of sympathy.

"Go on!"

"Hurry up!"

A few seemingly tough macho men in the front row began to heckle loudly.

"Go!"

The gopher tilted its neck and motioned for his men to continue.

The tall and mighty warriors began to reach out and drag the people dressed as ordinary refugees.

Huang Taiyi's heart then lifted, and he could already see what they wanted to do.

What should I do about something like this?

The first to be dragged over were two or three ordinary villagers who were no longer quite young, at least fifty or sixty years old, barely surrounded by what looked like rags of blankets, and the marks of beatings on their faces were very obvious.

Because their mouths had been gagged, they could only express their desire for mercy with frightened eyes, and at the same time kept shaking their heads, looking very pitiful.

Their struggles did not elicit much sympathy, and even the refugees watching from a distance glared at them with hatred, as if they had some deep hatred.

The danger of beast manification has become a kind of calamity that continues to become exaggerated with fermentation, and the emperor knows that he cannot eliminate it by himself, and the one thing he can do freely at this stage is to get rid of the root cause of everything.

I see.

No matter what happens in the end, I can't wait anymore.

"Huh?"

When Huang Taiyi was about to step out, his wrist was grabbed by the person next to him.

"Let me come."

Merlin inadvertently used too much force.

"Got it."

The emperor nodded, and did not say anything about the cyan marks on his wrist.

The other side.

"These are infected monsters! Leave it alone and turn more people into the same kind! It's really hateful! We're going to kill all of these monsters on the spot today! ”

The gopher is short in stature, and it doesn't look so powerful when standing on the shoulders of a giant man, but it has the feeling of a clown jumping off the beam.

"Kill!"

"Kill them all!"

In this atmosphere of complete chaos, people's emotions are easily taken in strange directions, whether it is a strong macho man or a refugee who has not dared to speak until now, one by one spit out a roar full of poisonous gas from his mouth.

If the gopher dares to say that he will not kill at this time, he himself will probably be killed by the angry people.

The macho men who were about to carry out the execution took the initiative not to remove the objects blocked in the mouths of those people, because they also knew that these refugees, who were nominally infected with the beast virus, were actually only found to have obvious scars on their bodies, and they had not lost their will at all, but what did it matter?

As long as it can bring fame and prestige to the gopher group, everything is not a problem.

That's what gophers do all of this with that in mind.

"Why are you killing!"

A questioning voice exploded in the distance.

"Of course, it's because these people are infected, and the injuries on their bodies are proof of that!"

The gopher replied aloud without thinking, completely oblivious to why it could be so loud in such a noisy environment.

"Ahh......hh

"I didn't ...... It's nothing to do with me......"

During the riots, many people, including many strong men who seemed to be macho men, chose to flee one after another, and some even used their hands and feet together and ran away on all fours.

A wide avenue was carved out among the onlookers.

"You...... Who are you! ”

Only then did the gopher realize that it was not good, and he saw a figure shrouded in a huge aura standing there carrying a large knife that did not fit the proportions of his body at all.

"I have the wound you said in the back - so you're going to kill me too!"

Bang –

Merlin's fury finally caused the turbulent aura in his body to erupt uncontrollably, and the cloak that hastily surrounded his body was shattered into countless pieces by the powerful impact.

At the same time, the condensed qi turned into a ring-shaped wave of qi that swept through everything around it, and the slightly weaker ones couldn't even stand, and were blown into the distance, smashing a lot of things.

The skin that has been tanned to a sun-colored color but still maintains a smooth texture, I don't know how many girls will envy the fire on the top of their heads, and at the same time they should also feel sorry for the terrible scars.

In fact, at this moment, the scar in the shape of the Southern Dipper behind Merlin's back did erupt with a scorching air current, which was not much different from the actual fire.

Her eyes had become cold and heavy, and she locked on the gopher that had froze, and slowly pulled out the long knife she was carrying.

The blade that emerged from the sheath reflected a snowy light, like a star that had just risen into the sky.
