Sure enough, in the end, only the man who asked the question and the two eye-catching squires were not pointed out by anyone.

"It's over?"

Penny sat on the high seat and sneered, "Since no one has identified you, let's leave quickly, and the rest will stay." ”

"But that's not fair at all!" The other two attendants hurriedly left the restaurant with overjoyed expressions on their faces, but the man did not turn to leave. "As I said before, such an identification is nonsense, and it is impossible to find the murderer! A person can blind his finger as long as he looks at another person who is not pleasing to the eye, and such a link is meaningless at all! ”

Questioned so loudly in public by a member of the "circus", Penny, who was sitting on the main seat, did not feel too offended. She just glanced at the man who was still talking, and suddenly became a little interested, and said, "Then I'll give you a chance now." ”

“…… What the? ”

"I can tell you in advance that anyone who is present is identified once is what I consider to be a 'murderer', and the next thing I'm going to do is to execute that part of the people - on the spot." Petunia suddenly smiled at the corners of her mouth, and tapped her fingers lightly on the edge of the table. "And if I am lucky enough not to be pointed out, whether the other party is a real thief or not, I can let that person go."

"And what about your choice?" "Now you can choose to turn around and leave and continue to stay at the Gemma house, and we'll act as if nothing happened." Or...... You continue to insist on your stupid questioning, and you stay, stay and die with these people. ”

"Did you hear it, did you hear it?" The red-haired fingers poked Qiu Xuan frantically underneath, "She said she was going to execute us!" What are you staying for! You don't have to wade into this troubled water! ”

Qiu Xuan slapped off the fingers she was pulling on her body, "Wait, don't worry." ”

The man suddenly fell silent, like a chicken choked by the throat.

Penny didn't seem to be in a hurry to force him to make a choice, so she spent her time leaning on the main seat to deal with the work after Jimma was attacked. The dead silence lasted for quite some time, and finally, the man's throat rolled and he let out a loud swallowing sound.

Qiu Xuan sighed in an imperceptible voice, "He can't live." ”

"Huh?"

Almost at the same time as she said this, the man took a deep breath and said, as if he had made some great determination, "I choose to stay!" But I can swear to the Creator God that I have never stolen a single grain by improper means! I stayed because I didn't think these people deserved to die! They are not to blame for something wrong that they have never done at all! ”

The redhead looked at her with an indescribable look: "You just said that he couldn't live, just because you knew that he would choose to stay?" You can have a snack! If he can't live, then we won't either! ”

"I don't say that because he chose to stay." Qiu Xuan stared at the man in the center who was obviously trembling all over his body, but still gritted his teeth and said this, "It's because of what he said, do you know...... He is an 'outlier'. ”

"What the hell are you talking about......"

On the main seat, Penny looked a little surprised, but then she clapped her hands at the man.

"You're very courageous, and this courage reminds me of a former old man...... "Once upon a time," Penny's expression didn't fluctuate too much as she said "Once upon a time," as if she was just stating something that had nothing to do with her. "But courage doesn't work, especially here."

"Didn't you notice, there were dozens of people present, but not even a single one of them would identify you."

The man's pupils constricted slightly, "You...... What did you say? ”

"I said, you go, you don't deserve to be here." Penny beckoned slightly, and several bodyguards came straight through the door, and the people dressed as knights joined forces to set up two crying attendants, and if you looked closely, you would find that they were the two who ran out happily before.

"What the hell do you want to do! You......! ”

With two smacks, the knives fell in their hands, and the heads of the two attendants who did not react to what had happened until they died rolled to the ground. The man lowered his head to meet the unblinded eyes of one of them, and his knees went limp, and he fell to his knees.

Penny looked coldly at the man who was already in a state of collapse, "I said I could give you a chance, but you didn't take this opportunity yourself. ”

The third head fell to the ground, but was quickly cleaned up by the cleaners who were quick to move. Even the blood in the air was covered by layers of aromatherapy, and if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you probably wouldn't have imagined what had happened in this place.

"Do you understand? It doesn't matter what you choose, it doesn't matter if you choose to stay or go, what they really care about is what you think. Qiu Xuan took advantage of the crowd to hide her stunned red hair and quietly pulled her red hair, "What they want is a subordinate who 'has no ideas of their own'." To be 'gregarious', to be in the same stream, to be a cold observer, to be insensitive. Even if that person had just chosen to save his life, he would not have died, because this choice symbolized that he had joined the 'indifferent and numb whole', that he had become part of the crowd, that he had successfully assimilated. ”

After taking a moment to deal with the bloodstains in the dining room, the bodies of the three were quickly dragged down and disposed of.

Petunia lowered her eyelashes and glanced at the others who were still standing in the hall with generally expressionless faces, and a complex emotion similar to disgust and inexplicability flashed in her eyes.

"You people, I'll treat each of you as if you were stealing food." When she said this, no one present refuted, and there was still a dead silence in the air. "It stands to reason that thieves who steal food will be summarily executed, but now that the situation is complicated, we simply won't find so many people to take over the positions of you 'thieves' in the short term."

"But there's always a lesson to be learned...... I'll punish you guys, and go to work at the septic treatment plant during the day. Oh yes, are there any circus people among you? Those people don't need to go, your main task is to entertain Lord Gemma. ”

Very light punishments, even the matter of stealing food was not mentioned.

But it is true that from the very beginning, looking at the attitude of these attendants and even the scene of the burly woman wielding a kitchen knife like a clown, you will find that what really matters is not who stole Jima's food, but the attitude of the crowd as a whole after stealing it.

The Jimma family doesn't need a subordinate who has too much of their own ideas, or rather, Penny doesn't want it.

The maid named Penny seems to have been trying to subtly adjust most of the people in the area of the Jimma Mansion to her own heart. Sometimes Qiu Xuan even felt that Jima was the puppet emperor who had been put on the throne, and all his subordinates were close henchmen arranged by various forces in order to try to dominate and control and seize power.

It's actually quite embarrassing to think about it this way - if he is really "completely innocent".

As soon as the incident ended, the redhead simply said hello to her and went about her own affairs non-stop. Qiu Xuan still remembered her agreement with the black markete merchant named Alecshan, and thought that the redhead had been working on this matter for quite some time recently.

She walked out of the Gemma Mansion on her hind feet, and was thinking about going to the ground market to take a turn, and by the way, looking for some odd jobs that could make money, when she saw a person.

When she saw the man, she was surrounded by ordinary natives screaming in panic, and the scene was as chaotic as a weasel rushing into a chicken coop. This place is still a distance from the Zhuoerdi market, which is a relatively lively street, and at this time it is empty when it is not long to be bored.

What happened?

She easily stopped a brother who was running for his life in a hurry, the brother struggled like a little girl who was bullied by gangsters, shook off her hand with one hand, and shouted: "It's important to ask for a ball, hurry up!" ”

Qiu Xuan looked back strangely, and it was this glance that she met Ai directly around the corner and almost had a heart attack and needed to be rescued urgently.

Qiu Xuan: "Brother, wait for me!" ”

It was a tall man who was at least twice the size of a normal person, and under his long narrow eyes, the hideous and terrifying restraint muzzle that almost spanned most of his face was firmly tied to the lower half of his face, and he could only glimpse the huge crack inside through the gap in the iron railing that bound the muzzle. Rows of sawblades grinned with sharp teeth, and the tip of their bright red tongue licked at the blood stains on the edge of the mask.

Chainsaw Man.

Qiu Xuan never expected to meet him on the streets of Zhuoer City today. She had seen him on the ground floor of the basement of the black market when she was accompanying the redhead to deliver the goods last night. At that time, the chainsaw man fought a duel with a girl, and although he won in the end, both legs were cut off by the opponent's heel, and he couldn't even stand up.

In today's testing ground where the use of restorative nutrients is restricted, if a executioner faces injuries of the level of amputation, he will not be able to recover in less than a week on his own recovery ability. Then why did this snake man grow two legs in one night, and not only did he grow well, Qiu Xuan's appearance when he glanced at him just now was even more imposing than before.

It was the first time she'd heard the Chainsaw Man speak.

It was unexpectedly rough and unpleasant, as if it had been rubbed against several pieces of sandpaper in turn.

He said, "Afu." ”

Qiu Xuan: You are looking for Afu, what does it have to do with me Qiu Xuan?

She didn't squint at the crowd and rushed back to the range of the Jimma Mansion, and the next second she even felt the ground under her feet tremble slightly. Qiu Xuan's pace paused for a moment, then she suddenly turned around and kicked the brother who was running beside her.

Several steel chains whipped and flung on the ground, and the stone paved road flew with powder, and in an instant it was smashed into a pit.

One can probably imagine what the effect would be if the human body took a complete blow.

The aborigines who fled in a panic realized that the monster's target was Qiu Xuan, and they automatically fled from her side a hundred meters away. Their hunch was right, as soon as they were out of range, the Chainsaw Man wouldn't bother chasing them at all.

"Brother, if you have something to say."

Qiu Xuan took a breath and turned around, because the price she paid after being injured in this world was too great, she didn't really want to fight this opponent who seemed to be extremely difficult unless necessary.

"I know you're eyeing me because of that competition, maybe you've won more championships in a row, and you're suddenly being compared to someone like me from an unknown source." She said, "Then it's okay for me to apologize to you, don't hit me." I'm also here for a living, right? It's not easy for everyone, hand in hand, ah, hand in hand will be better. ”

Through a layer of restraint masks that covered half of his face, for some reason, Qiu Xuan still inexplicably saw the seven big words "What are you talking about" from the chainsaw man's face.

The chainsaw's massive body took another step forward, and suddenly, the big palm of the fan lifted and took off the restraint muzzle that covered the huge gap.

Qiu Xuan: The conversation collapsed, and I cracked.

"Is there really no room for manoeuvre?" She took a step back and observed the geography around her for a moment. "There is no deep hatred between us, and it is worth your hatred of me until now, right?"

"You won me." Chainsaw spoke again, this time without the cover of his muzzle to see his beast-like rift more clearly. And I don't know if it's because he doesn't like to talk by nature or if this mouth puts too much burden on him when he speaks, he is silent again after saying this, but his feet are approaching step by step.

Qiu Xuan: "It's normal to have wins and losses, don't be so careful." ”

Chainsaw: "Show me again." ”

Qiu Xuan: "What are you talking about?" ”

"Show me again." The chainsaw man repeated, "Your mouth is on your stomach, show me how you won me at that time." ”

Qiu Xuan sighed: Lu'er, it turns out that he is hungry for you.

Xiaolu: You tell the excavator to get me away.

"Not very well, bro." Qiu Xuan's footsteps were still retreating, and the right hand behind his back slid out of the Zimu knife, and his fingertips picked out the sheath. "In broad daylight, your language is already considered harassment."

Chainsaw frowned as if he didn't quite understand the meaning of these words, but he didn't care about this, and with a wave of his big palm, he threw it straight towards Qiu Xuan with a heavy chain. The latter was ready to roll over and jump up, and his waist was forced to turn around, dodging the attack of the chain that seemed to have eyes and turned in the next second.

Just hearing the muffled sound of the chain hitting the ground in her ears, she could imagine how much terrifying power it contained.

Qiu Xuan landed on the flat ground a few meters away, frowning and wondering if the chainsaw had already found out that she was cheating on Xiaolu, or if she just wanted revenge because she didn't admit defeat.
