"Burn her!"

"Burn this woman full of evil. ”

"There should not be such a person in this world, who goes against common sense, obeys the will of the evil master, and quickly burns her is a gift from God and a real salvation. ”

A small village, scattered with dozens of houses, large and small, wrapped in towering trees, boulder streams flowing slowly, the bright moon in the sky, filled with white moonlight, permeating this remote village.

At this time, in the center of this village, there is a small square about 50 meters wide and long, built of iron and stone made of black lacquer, criss-crossing garden flowers and plants, faint light, flowing with darkness and hustle.

Many people held torches, burning with flames of red light.

Fifty or sixty people gathered in the small square, around a high platform made of timber.

Everyone had hideous faces, the corners of their mouths were wide open, their eyes showed a fierce light, and they were staring at the high platform in front of them through gritted teeth.

The eyes seemed to see a deep hatred of the enemy, and both eyes were looking towards the figure of a young woman on the high platform, as if there was some deep hatred and resentment, and the fierce light revealed by the pupils of the eyes, I couldn't wait for the person on the high platform to disappear from front of me.

They shouted loudly, eager to throw the torches in their hands towards the place where the wood had piled up in front of them.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

A voice sounded, not loud but spread like magic, and in an instant, everyone in the square paused and looked at a figure also located on the high platform.

The noisy and hideous face also stopped suddenly, and looked at the high platform in a daze.

"Fellow villagers, this woman full of sin was born in our village, and when she was born, she not only killed her parents, but also tried to brainwash many villagers and elders. ”

"He has a beautiful skin, but he does evil things, and spreads the demonic thoughts of the so-called master of science"

"This is a provocation to the justice of our Yisz, it is our fault that we were not able to stop her in time, we made a big mistake. ”

The figure of Gao Tai is a middle-aged man, with a Chinese character face, a big beard on his chin, who is raising his hands at this time, looking at the people below the high platform, and shouting angrily: "The only big mistake we made is that we can't eradicate this demon girl in time before it harms everyone, let this demon girl use that bewitchment, temptation, and spread the thinking method that goes against the world, so that many people are addicted to it, so that many people suffer from its scourge, we must cheer up, establish correct thinking, and not be deceived by it." ”

The high voice spread in all directions, and the middle-aged man stood on the high platform, his hands trembling violently, and his face was hideous.

"The village chief is right, this hateful woman has smeared everyone's minds, and she should be burned if she can't be allowed to live. ”

"Yes, this beautiful woman is a demon in sheep's clothing, bewitching people, and it will be a disaster for everyone if she is allowed to continue to live. ”

"That's right, so we need to execute her as soon as possible and free her from this world. ”

A sharp sound rang out, filling the perimeter of the square, and the light from the torches was rather peculiar.

The pair of angry eyes stared directly at the delicate figure bound on the high platform, and under the illumination of the moonlight, there was a glimmer of light.

In the middle of the high platform, which was piled up with timber, was a woman of about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in tattered gray and white prison uniforms.

The woman has shimmering red hair, willow-like eyebrows, dazzling and shining eyes, a curved and charming nose, delicate pink lips that can be broken by blowing, and a delicate and charming face.

Tall figure, upright and backward, small hands, long feet without fat.

all imply that this woman is full of all the temptations that men indulge in, and it makes people want to stop.

But it was such a wonderful woman, at this moment, her hands and feet were tied to a stake, her eyes were shining, and she seemed to have no regrets about what she was facing, as if she was facing everything in front of her, and did not flinch.

"Demon girl, it's too late for you to regret it, as long as you promise to marry my son, I will find a way to let you go, this is your only chance, and your last chance, I need an answer, now!" The village chief stared at the kidnapped woman, revealing a hint of pity.

The village chief with a national face, called Peide, is the village chief of this Lingshan Village, as the village head, he holds the power of the village, acts recklessly, accumulates political wealth, looks like a gentleman on the surface, but behind the back he is doing dirty deeds, which is not known.

Once, this Peder stunned several adventurers with foreign experience, all the men were killed, and the women were locked in the dungeon and humiliated, and finally died due to physical exhaustion, and now they have become white bones and horizontal bone prisons.

Things like this are not once or twice, and more sinister things abound.

But Pede used that face to deceive many villagers, so that the simple villagers have been kept in a stone jar, the former is like a lid, blocking the way for the villagers to leave the jar.

"Hehe, Peder, what kind of virtue you are, the villagers don't know, but I do. You told the villagers that my thoughts were evil, but it was just a rhetoric that you forcibly put on it, turning what I said into a demonic mind, trying to get rid of me. The kidnapped woman sneered.

The woman's name is Lias Ann Lunford, a bright and beautiful woman who yearns for freedom, loves the unknown, loves science, and believes in the power of science to change the world.

Because he accidentally discovered the true face of the village chief Peder, he was framed by him and wanted to kill people, so he was caught and ready to be burned at the stake.

"You think I won't dare kill you? Now that you know all my secrets, I want to kill you right away. Peder looked at Lias with an angry look on his face and said again: "If it weren't for my stupid son who likes you and wants to marry you, do you think I would still talk so much nonsense to you?" You should be self-aware, if I want to do it, you have died a thousand times, you should thank me for not starting." ”

"Do you think I'll say yes? What are you like, and how good can your son be? It's normal for your father and son to do bad things. Lias glared angrily at Peder.

"It seems that you are really looking for death, and finally ask again, you never obey or not. Peder squinted.

"I'd rather die than give in!"

Not to be outdone, Lias looked directly at Peder, her beautiful eyes flashed with light, revealing a firm conviction, as if she looked down on everything, resisted evil, and did not give in.

"Good...... Good...... Hearing this, Peder was also angry, and said three times in a row, "Since you are in a hurry to die, then I will fulfill you." ”

After saying that, he walked down the high platform, took the torch handed by the villagers, and looked up at the woman on the high platform.

"Father, did she agree?" said a young man, rather handsome-looking, with slightly squinted eyes.

"Rose, you don't have to think about it anymore, she wants to die, who can stop her, don't forget, she doesn't die, it may be us who will die in the future, you die of this heart." With that, Peder walked forward.

Hearing Peder's words, Rose squinted at Gao Tai, his eyes revealing a kind of greed, but also a strange taste, as if he was regretting Gao Tai Woman's decision.

"Folks! the witch is unrepentant, and wants to bewitch me, it seems that my mind has been poisoned and there is no cure, I now declare that the witch will be burned at the stake immediately!" Pedder shouted at the crowd of villagers, as if he had made up his mind.

Deep down, Pede thought that after today, he would return to his original peace, and no one would be able to oppose him, and he could continue to be the king of the mountain and do whatever he wanted.

Thinking of this, Peder showed a sneer, glanced around, looked at the group of villagers who were played with by himself between applause, and suddenly felt that these stupid villagers were so cute, like a group of monkeys who only knew how to call, but didn't understand anything, the more they thought about it, the happier they became.

"Yes, burn her, I used to take care of her so much, I didn't expect her to be such a person. ”

"Knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, we have all been deceived by her, and we can't let her go while we are still in a hurry. ”

"Her parents are so kind, I didn't expect her to become like this, it's really impermanent!"

The villagers shouted one after another, some hated it, some hated it, some hated it, and some hated the impermanence.

Hearing the shouts of the villagers, the woman on the high platform turned pale, revealing helplessness.

She once defended that the truly evil person was the beast with the human face and the heart of the beast in the audience, not herself, but the prestige of the beast was too high, and no one believed in herself, but she was framed, harmed, and slandered by the beast.

"It's not me, it's not me! You've all been deceived by Peder, he's the real devil, don't trust him. Lias shouted weakly to the villagers in the audience.

"We won't believe you anymore if you say anything now, you'll die of this heart!"

The words of the villagers let Lias know that her hard work has been useless, and she has no way to fight it, because this is how there is injustice in this world, and she has exhausted all the methods she can use, but she still can't change it.

Powerlessness, dazedness filled her heart, and she knew that everything was going to end.

Pede sneered, now it's useless for you to say anything, send you on your way.

"No, I believe that Sister Lias is innocent, I beg you to let Sister Lias go. ”

A boy of seven or eight years old ran out of the crowd and ran towards the high platform, shouting loudly.

"Ari, what are you talking nonsense, have you also been brainwashed?" said a young man named Ari angrily as he reached out his hand.

"No, I don't believe it, I don't believe that such a gentle and beautiful sister Lias can be a witch, she is my sister Lias. Ari struggled to break free, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Ali, you don't have to be like this, you have to live well, grow up well, and be an upright person, a good person, and a person who can face evil in the future. Lias looked at the little figure in the audience who was like her own brother, smiled, and said weakly: "I believe in my sister, my sister is very happy." ”

"No! I don't want to lose my sister. Ari cried and cried.

"The time has come. Peder glanced at Alli, looked at the high platform, raised the torch and shouted, "Burn!"

As the words fell, a dozen or twenty torches took on a parabolic curve and fell into the high platform made of wood.

The wood was ignited instantly, and the sparks at the beginning, in less than a moment, had already formed a raging flame, and the sound of the wood igniting kept coming out, and in a moment the fire had spread to the high platform.

Lias felt the approaching heat, but her heart was extremely calm.

She knew that she couldn't change the facts, she couldn't change the villagers' minds, they were still stuck in a conservative mind, they couldn't accept new ideas, and they were imprisoned.

Lias looked up at the sky, at the glowing shattered stars in the sky, at the floating land, with an endless desire to explore, a passion to understand even in the depths of death.

His eyes were calm and he smiled.

Is it all coming to an end?

The gaze gradually dimmed, slowly closing, and slowly only a trace of a gap remained.

At this moment, Lias seemed to be hallucinating, as she saw a black dot on the glowing star that was growing larger.

Just as she thought it was a hallucination before she died, a tearing cry caught her attention.

"Ah......h

High in the air, what was originally just a black spot quickly turned into a figure.

A shrill scream followed, and as soon as the people noticed that they wanted to look up at the sky, the figure instantly smashed down on the burning platform.
