Douglas's words lowered the atmosphere in the cave from boiling to freezing.

Even Hagrid, who has pirate blood in his veins, is more like a fisherman than a pirate in his teens.

In the vast majority of social biological systems, killing one's own kind is basically considered taboo, let alone human beings who are bound by various laws and regulations.

Therefore, the special nature of murder has been gradually promoted by pirates and other lawbreakers as a fixed form of petition.

… Douglas is not a brutal demon king who takes pleasure in killing, but he will not hesitate to take people's heads if he needs to.

Maybe it's because of the relationship between the two lives, and the style of egoism is vividly reflected in him.

He doesn't expect every colleague to be as "hard-hearted" as he is, but killing is always inevitable in order to swim against the tide in this class-heavy world.

No matter how beautiful the rhetoric is, in the process of primitive accumulation of capital, those appalling blood debts are a hurdle that children must cross.

Rather than wait for the battle before the arrival of the sun, Douglas preferred that they leave their hypocritical time in this cave.

Douglas: "Kill him." ”

The boy repeated.

Hagrid: "Kill... Good! Kill! ”

With a forced sigh, Hai Ge pretended to be calm and took the knife from Douglas's hand.

Although he had tried his best to hide the wavering feeling he felt when he first killed someone, the slightly changed tone of his voice still showed the fluctuation of his mood at the moment.

Douglas: "You don't need to aim at the eyebrows, throat, or heart, just go straight to the abdomen." ”

Hagrid: "Okay..."

He stiffened his turn in response to Douglas, then forced himself to turn his attention to the restrained Dr. White.

Hagrid had heard about the deeds of this military doctor before, and in summary, this guy was a scum who lived in a wealthy area, and looking at his life for more than forty years, the only thing he could do was the short time he served in the navy.

In normal times, such people are the kind of people Hagrid hates the most... They are no better than themselves who live in the slums, but they are infuriated by virtue of their background and enjoy good treatment.

But now, when Hagrid actually stood in front of White with a knife, the dying cripple was more clear in front of him than ever.

His body struggled between relaxation and curling, and his blindfolded eyes were faintly imprinted with tears.

- Maybe White is really a hateful person, but in the face of death, he is so fragile and pitiful, almost unbearable.

Douglas: "What's wrong?" ”

Hagrid: "Uh... It's nothing! ”

As if realizing that the boss was urging, Hagrid took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and finally stabbed White in the body!

The first time he attacked a human with murderous intent, he was clearly overforced, and the knife not only pierced White's chest, but even Hagrid himself fell to the ground.

However, compared to the slight pain of his shoulder hitting the ground, the old medic's whimpering cries in his throat as he died, and the blood splattered between his fingers along the wound, clearly gave Hagrid more irritation.

He let go of the handle of the knife and froze for a moment, then half-crouched beside White, who was constantly struggling. Until Douglas issued the order for the next step.

Douglas: "Well done, pull the knife out"

Hagrid: "Okay..."

Douglas's words rang just before the fear of murder reached Hagrid's mind, and the big man didn't have time to think about it, so he pressed White's neck with one hand, and then pulled out the blood-stained fruit knife with the other, as is customary when slaughtering large fish.

However, because the blade didn't open a bleeding groove in advance, the tightening muscles around the wound, and the pressure of the tight fit made it impossible for Hagrid to pull the knife as easily as he did when he stabbed in.

Douglas: "Scratch it sideways, then pull it out." ”

Hagrid didn't reply, nervous and just instinctively following Douglas's orders. Fortunately, the method that the young man said did work, and this time, the fruit knife was easily pulled out of the wound.

However, without the shield of the blade, the crimson blood also splashed out in time, a few drops fell on his vest, and a few drops hung on his cheeks.

The salty and warm touch was the first time Hagrid had experienced it.

Douglas stepped forward, took the knife from his hand, patted him on the shoulder, and repeated again, "Well done." Then the boy handed the knife to the next man.

… The silent ritual continued, and soon, every child in the grotto, including Douglas himself, had a hole in White's body.

As a finale, Douglas himself chose to go under the knife in the center of his eyebrows, which can be regarded as a relatively painful end to the tragic life of a military doctor.

Then he took a few other people to carry out the most basic extermination of the body - although this knowledge was basically stolen from some of the most vicious people by using his ability to read information, he has to admit that most of these methods are simple and effective.

After that, he comforted the people who carried out the operation, and then took the medicine alone and moved to the safe house where Lily was temporarily staying.

- For the Boys' Army, a small group of orphans, today's events in the cave are undoubtedly of great significance.

Although Douglas does not plan to immediately throw these children with limited combat power into a more brutal conspiracy struggle in the near future, the foreshadowing of this "killing ritual" has paved the way for bloodier battles in the future.

As the leader, the boy knew that there should be different forms of guidance for the members of the different divisions of the organization - he wouldn't consider Simon or Wright doing this kind of butcher's work for the time being, but for Hagrid and the others, who will be in charge of various battles in the future, the education about killing is just beginning.

The only thing that surprised Douglas was perhaps that he was also the first time to kill someone, but he did not show obvious mood swings because of this evil behavior.

On the one hand, this is probably because the teenager was prepared, so he did a good job of mental construction in advance, and on the other hand, it may also be related to the special experience of rebirth and crossing.

… Skip this section and leave it alone.

As soon as Douglas arrives at the safe house, Simon, who is in charge of caring for Lily, reports the girl's condition to him.

Although the inflammatory reaction still tormented Lily, it did not continue to worsen after all, and I believe that after taking the medicine, it will get better soon. In this way, Douglas simply gave Simon the remaining anti-inflammatory drugs for the time being, and told him to send him a message as soon as Lily recovered.

It's not that Douglas is reluctant to stay and continue to care for the sick.

It's just that according to the agreement, tomorrow noon is the deadline for Haier to receive the goods, considering the inducement he deliberately made in the conflict with Scarface not long ago, I believe that by tonight at the latest, something will definitely happen on the fishing ground.

Coincidentally, before Douglas could leave the safe house, there was another knock on the door on the first floor.

"Knock knock... Boom... Knock knock. ”

This time the code is quite short, and the implication is...

It can be understood as an "emergency"!
