Chapter 76: Original Sin

The woman who rushed out of the chaos was quickly restrained by the soldiers, who violently pulled her away from the corpse, but the woman burst out of nowhere to force herself out of the two soldiers' grasp.

"Zhao Mingsi, do you dare to swear?!" She stood beside her husband's mutilated corpse and asked sharply with a dusty mess. "You Zhao Mingsi, dare to swear in front of Chuanliu Town, in front of all the black people present, do you have nothing to do with this siege incident?!"

"What nonsense?!" The adjutant waved his hand with a dark face and motioned for the soldiers to take her down, "If it weren't for Mr. Zhao's kindness to take in you black people, you would have already exposed your corpses to the wilderness, how dare you question Mr. here?" ”

"It's okay Xiao Yan." Zhao Mingsi reacted, he put away the armor on his body, and slowly walked towards the woman who was controlled by layers. "I'm sorry about your husband, too. But if it makes you feel better, I'm willing to swear it, ma'am. ”

He straightened up a little and looked down at the crowd. "Contemptible Zhao Mingsi, I have never done anything to be sorry for the rivers and sorry for everyone. I have a clear conscience and no regrets in this life. ”

Qiu Xuan didn't like the expression on Zhao Mingsi's face at this moment, obviously he was saying the most sincere and sincere words, but he looked like a charity. This reminded Qiu Xuan of Lu Xingzhou's kind of dominators, and the feeling of powerlessness that surged in an instant made her close her eyes fiercely.

The woman stood among the soldiers who surrounded her, and after hearing the words, she glanced at Zhao Mingsi in disbelief. Then, as if completely dead, she nodded and muttered to herself. "Okay, good, Zhao Mingsi. You'd better remember what you say. ”

Pulled by the soldiers, she was pushed back into the ranks of the blacks, staying with the gathered residents.

After all the numbers and casualties were counted, the mages and mechanics who were incapable of fighting were taken to safety first. It was the turn of the long line of black men, who were led by the soldiers, one by one, towards a small gate behind the wall.

The sense of crisis that surged in an instant made Qiu Xuan's mind ring, she suddenly stepped up the stairs in a few steps, ignored the dissuasion of the shadows around her, and said loudly to Zhao Mingsi: "Mr. Zhao, can I ask where you want to take those black people?" ”

Zhao Mingsi smiled, "I found out, you seem to be curious about everything, my child." "It's not a bad thing to be curious, and what I can tell you now is that they're being taken where they need to go." There, they will be safe and even reborn. ”

The more she listened, the more wrong it became, Qiu Xuan pushed aside the person in front of her, and walked towards the small door in a few steps.

At this time, Zhao Mingsi's face darkened suddenly, "Catch her." He commanded in a low voice.

Several soldiers rushed towards Qiu Xuan in an instant, but they were stopped a second before their arms were about to touch her.

"I'll see who dares to touch her." Qin Jiuyuan stood behind Qiu Xuan with his back to him, his gaze swept over everyone.

The soldiers hesitated all of a sudden, after all, it was Qin Jiuyuan who stopped the people, and even if the people present didn't know each other, they had all heard the deeds of this famous black man. That's the people who once won the entire Holy Knights, they are just ordinary soldiers, and they don't want to provoke such a number one person.

"Mr. Qin, what do you mean by this?" Zhao Mingsi looked at this side with a gloomy expression, and his face was no longer pretending to be kind. "What the black man did was already a threat to the safety of the river. Do you want to protect such a person to be the enemy of a certain person and the whole river?! ”

"You talk a lot of nonsense." Qin Jiuyuan's palm broke the spear held by a soldier with a force, and he stood alone opposite all the soldiers, but his eyebrows were still light and breezy. "What about Chuanliu Town, and what about the Academy of Sciences? Do I need to consult with you on my partiality? ”

"Whoever is not convinced, I will talk about it if I win."

……

The other side. The soldier stationed in front of the door pointed his weapon forward, "What for?" Idle people don't wait, go away! ”

"."

Qiu Xuan didn't have time to talk nonsense with them, and the blade of the Zimu knife in his hand flashed and went straight to the point. The soldier on the left reacted and threw out a wind blade, and Qiu Xuan's movements paused for a second. This man is a magician! Realizing this fact, she took the initiative to throw the blade out with a flip of her wrist, and took advantage of the moment when the two of them were stunned to dodge, picking out the shorter knife with her thumb and slashing it neatly towards the hamstring.

Seeing that the two of them temporarily lost the ability to move, Qiu Xuan did not love to fight, and rolled over to pick up the fallen main knife, and stuck the sub-knife in his hand back to the hilt. She followed the direction she remembered towards the narrow, dark aisle in the door, and finally saw the figure of the soldier in charge of escorting at the end of the line around a corner.

She carefully concealed herself in the darkness, roughly visualizing the position of the escort soldiers. Except for the two at the end of the line, the remaining two are distributed in the third of the line.

With a plan in mind, Qiu Xuan held her breath and dived quietly. At this time, the woman walking at the end of the line glanced back as if she felt something, Qiu Xuan froze for a moment, and slowly stopped her index finger in front of her lips to make a breathing gesture.

"What? Come on! The soldier at the end of the group pushed her impatiently, and the woman lowered her eyelids, but said nothing. Qiu Xuan took the opportunity to pick it up, and covered the soldier's mouth with his palm, and the sharp blade silently cut through his throat.

Having dealt with the two soldiers who had fallen behind in the same way, she straightened her clothes and naturally followed the end of the group, and except for the woman, no one found the missing soldiers or the extra people in the group.

"What's the use of killing them, the people of Riverflow Town are looking forward to our death, can you kill everyone." At the end of the line, the woman who was still crying in despair on the high wall just now was numb at the moment and said coldly.

"Why do you want you to die?" Qiu Xuan lowered her voice, "And before you said that Zhao Mingsi killed your husband, why?" ”

"Why, aren't you just like us?" The woman turned her head, her eyes full of unwilling resentment and despair. "Because we're 'black,' black people are born with original sin."

The woman's negative emotions poured out on her without reservation, and Qiu Xuan didn't know what to say for a while. In all fairness, although she has suffered enough injustice from her "black" identity during her time in this world, she is not a black person in the true sense of the word, and it is difficult for her to truly empathize.

So she had no choice but to be silent, but fortunately the woman didn't seem to need her understanding, but just urgently needed an outlet for her emotions, and she said it to herself.

"It's also known as 'kind acceptance', you just came to Chuanliu Town and didn't know it. Zhao Mingsi raises us like a herd of pigs to be slaughtered. Take black people as live bait tests to infect people, live/body experiments, and use them as meat shields to block the city gates...... It's so much, it's disgusting just to say it. ”

"Now, he probably has a new idea for a cure for the plague. When the plague is really cured, he Zhao Mingsi, their Academy of Sciences is the hero who saved all mankind, and who cares about those insignificant black people who die in the process? ”

"It's ridiculous that you ask why we don't resist. After resisting for a while, what can I do after that? The town of Chuanliu also provides a place to stay. ”

"You know, the word black is the original sin itself. When people all over the world don't treat you as a human being and expect you to die, what can you do with your little unyieldingness? ”
