Chapter Fifty-Eight: It's Worse
"Lao Tu is right, there were people who were dissatisfied with the executioner before, and they directly drove the executioner off the stage during the execution!"
Seventeen heard a familiar voice, turned around and saw Chen Kou walking towards him.
Chen Kou is also Chen Shusheng.
"Lord Chen!"
"Lord Chen!"
The soldiers and Tu Yidao next to him saluted in unison.
"Uncle Chen?"
Chen Kou nodded at him and said, "Seventeen, why don't you take a day off today, and you will come back tomorrow!"
"May I ask why?"
Seventeen was a little reluctant, and said that he would start to become an executioner today.
He had been preparing for this day for a long time.
Chen Kou looked at the more and more people gathered in the distance and explained: "Originally, there was only one executioner, as long as you are a little bolder, it is very simple to survive it, but in the second half of last night, the city guards caught a group of human traffickers, and the city lord ordered that those people must be slaughtered today...... Originally, the city lord wanted to Ling Chi, but the other party was too numerous, and in terms of law, the crime was not enough, so it was changed to beheading!"
Seventeen didn't want to back down: "I can do it!"
"But there are thirty-seven!"
Seventeen bit his lower lip, thirty-seven was indeed a bit much.
He had experienced the feeling of Fu Yuanming's execution in the inheritance illusion, but in reality, he was still a little frightened.
Seventeen gritted his teeth and said, "No problem!"
Chen Kou looked into Seventeen's eyes, looked at the other party's stubborn eyes and asked, "Have you ever killed someone before?"
"No, but I believe I can do it!"
Chen Kou thought about it for a long time before he said slowly: "You were recommended by Old Ghost Hu, I'll give you a chance, today's execution is very important, if you are not careful, I will be very troublesome, if you can't hold on, just change the slaughter, understand?"
"Understood!"
Chen Kou's tone was very heavy, but Seventeen didn't want to back down!
If he didn't even have the courage to go on stage, how could he face the teachings of Master Sword Spirit and Senior Fu?
He himself will despise himself!
"Okay, get ready to go on stage!"
The execution ground in Yiyang City is much larger than that in Iron and Stone City, and can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time.
It was still early to be executed, and the people on the execution ground gathered more and more, and soon the entire execution ground was full!
Why so many people?
Seventeen was already a little nervous, but now it's even more nervous!
He asked, "Are there so many people every time they are executed?"
Tu Yidao hugged his arms and looked at the people who continued to arrive in the distance and said, "Of course not, the prisoner executed today is very special!"
"Human traffickers?"
"Yes, it's human traffickers!" Tu Yidao gritted his teeth and said, "This group of human traffickers is not simple, the leader is the master of the True Yuan Realm, they are very good at disguise and trace concealment, they are very cunning, they have been active in Yiyang City and the surrounding villages before, and recently they have been crazy to commit crimes, they have taken away thousands of young children in various ways in a month!"
Hearing the thousands of young children, Seventeen took a deep breath.
"What are they doing with so many young children?"
"Heh, what else can you do?" Tu Yidao said a little sarcastically, "There are many uses for young children, they can be sold to the Demon Dao Sect or the Demon Dao Martial Artist to cultivate, they can be sold to the killer organization for cultivation, and they can be sold to the Family Sect to cultivate the dead...... As long as there are enough of them, they are all big deals, and if there are not enough benefits, how can it be possible for the masters of the True Yuan Realm to put down their bodies and become human traffickers?"
"You don't know how many people in the neighborhood hate these traffickers, you'll see it today!"
Seventeen was surprised: "They dare to spread wild in Yiyang City?"
"Of course they don't dare, so their whereabouts are secret!" Tu Yidao continued, "There are children missing in ordinary people's homes, as long as they do it cleanly, the masters in the City Lord's Mansion will not pay attention, but recently they have made too much trouble, thousands of people a month, no matter whose territory it is, no one can bear it!"
"How could they be so rampant?"
"Do you think they're stupid?" Tu Yidao said with some appetizing, "I can guess a ...... or two reasons."
Then Tu Yidao shut up and didn't say anything, and looked at Seventeen with a smile, with an expression of you coming to beg me!
Reading books is the most annoying and out of chapter dogs, and talking is the most annoying and appetizing!
Seventeen years young, I really can't bear it.
Chen Hao reminded on the side: "Don't talk, don't pay attention to him!"
Lord Sword Spirit's words, Seventeen still obeyed, and he tried to suppress his curiosity.
"Why don't you ask me?"
Or Tu Yidao couldn't help it first, he was talking about it now, and he didn't ask seventeen, he was also uncomfortable.
Chen Hao said: "You can ask!"
"What then?"
"Actually, it's very simple, just imagine the people that the traffickers came into contact with, whether it's the Demon Dao Sect or the killer organization, or other forces, which one of the young children can buy is not extremely vicious and full of evil? It is estimated that a large number of young children are needed in a short period of time, forcing those people to complete the order, and those scum who abduct and sell young children will definitely not dare to resist, and they will do their best to complete the task!"
"Do you know now why so many people came to see the execution? I advise you not to come to the stage, let me come!"
It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and Seventeen changed his outfit, holding the red blood sword, and he felt a little more confident in his heart.
Before leaving, Tu Yidao mocked in a malicious tone:
"Look at so many people, aren't you nervous?
"If you're afraid, let me come, I won't laugh at you, after all, you're still young, not as old as my son!"
"Can you still hold the sword? After you come to power, don't cut it crookedly, then it's a joke!"
"If you feel disgusting, then vomit it out happily, it's comfortable to spit it out, listen to me!"
"If you can't hold it, call me up to help you, it's inevitable that young people will make mistakes, and no one will laugh at you!"
“......”
Seventeen didn't bother to listen to him, and walked to the execution table.
There were too many people today, and on the short road to the execution platform, there were city guards to clear a passage and maintain order.
Countless people's eyes turned to Seventeen, following him, and many even stood on tiptoe to look.
At this moment, the executioner's dressed seventeen is the most striking one!
Even if he's a little too young.
"Who is this?"
"New here?"
"Where's Tu Yidao? I like to watch him cut off his head!"
"I also think he's a little more reliable, I'm afraid this stunned young man can't do it!"
"Yes, Tu Yi's knife is fast, and it's also fun to watch!"
"I'm here to see how these traffickers died...... Will this young man be able to stand firm on stage?"
“......”
Fortunately, there were city guards on the scene, and Seventeen did not show his timidity, and most people were still waiting.
I want to see if this teenager can do it!
In the face of the noisy crowd, in the face of everyone's eyes, in the face of many criticisms, Seventeen did not react, his face was calm, and he walked straight towards the torture platform, his stride was very even, and he didn't seem to be nervous at all.
A handful of calm onlookers nodded secretly - at least the new executioner was not stage frightened!
Why isn't Seventeen stage frightened?
It's not because he has a big heart, it's not because he's born with big nerves...... It's because he's already so nervous that he's confused! His face is so nervous that he's completely stiff, and his head is a mess!
If one looked closely at his face, they would see that the muscles on the left side of his face near his eyelid were twitching.
He felt that his feet were not on a hard bluestone slab, but on elastic cotton, which was about to bounce him up.
Seventeen shouted in his heart, "Lord Sword Spirit!"
"Huh?"
"I was a little nervous. ”
Chen Hao asked, "It's not just a little, right?"
Seventeen's nervousness, Chen Hao can completely understand, after all, the scene of tens of thousands of people is too big!
It is strange that an inexperienced teenager faces such a big scene when he comes on stage for the first time, and he is not nervous!
Seventeen cried for help: "What should I do?"
"It's very simple, you can imagine those who watch the excitement as ......" Chen Hao couldn't find a suitable harmless term for a while, "You can ...... You can think of them as dead people so you don't get scared!"
Seventeen glanced at the dense crowd out of the corner of his eye, thought for a moment, and felt chills all over his body: "But Lord Sword Spirit, I imagine them as dead people...... It feels even scarier!"
