Chapter 287: They're the Fools
The minister said that it was very small, but in fact, there were only two crimes: to have dirty blood, which means to have powers; Harboring a heart of disobedience, that is to say, daring to rebel against the farm.
"Even polluting the vision of the noble princess, it's a crime that deserves death!"
The princess to whom the minister had been mentioned sat in a chair beside her, and a tall man was holding a lace-covered parasol to shade her.
Lena didn't know who they were. This made her feel derelict in her duty. As a qualified informant, she should be as good as she can on the farm.
Finally, the minister's lengthy speech was finally coming to an end. He shouted, "Whoever thinks he is guilty, kneel!" ”
On the square, hundreds of people and animals looked silently at the high platform where the minister and others were, and then knelt down one by one.
Even if someone delays a little, they will eventually fall to their knees. They've lived here since they were born, so they know exactly what to do if they stand out from the crowd.
It was a long way off, but Lena felt like she saw the minister's satisfied smile. More than a half of this should be due to the brain supplement of familiar people.
Then the minister turned and walked over to the kneeling young man and said something to him. Lena couldn't hear it, but she knew that what the minister was saying must have been, "Everyone thinks you're guilty." ”
However, the young man suddenly spat and spat the blood on the minister's face.
Lena couldn't see the minister's expression, so it wasn't clear if she could find anger on his face. But she saw him snatch the noose from his subordinate and put it around the young man's neck.
Then several farm managers turn the winch. The rope was straightened.
Lena shrank back. At the last moment, she couldn't bear to look at it.
"It's not my fault."
Lena muttered.
She had already passed on the news that the young man was a stranger the day before yesterday.
Is there a delay in messaging? Or did they not come together in time to rescue the young man?
Fortunately, this is only a power booster, the weakest ability, and even compared to other power boosters, it is only a crane tail. If you lose it, you lose it, so it shouldn't matter much.
After all, it's not easy to steal a big living person out of the farm. If there is too much difference between giving and receiving, the rebels can't stand it, right? There is also the possibility of exposing them.
And if they are exposed, they will be discovered.
She comforted herself in this way, and continued to lie down in the blanket like a shroud, waiting for a long time, until the door opened.
Lina took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, lifted the quilt, and welcomed in the gentlest voice: "Are you back?" ”
"Hmm."
It was a dull man who answered her.
The moment he saw her, a smile appeared on the man's gloomy face, as if a ray of sunlight had pierced through the thick clouds. Not only the haze was removed, but the camouflage was also removed.
He walked up to Lina and gently stroked Linna's hair. "How's your sleep?"
"Didn't fall asleep." Lina said honestly, "What happened just now?" What's so urgent? ”
"Nothing. The subordinates did not do their best, so that 0638 broke free from the rope. ”
"Ah, won't he hurt you? You okay! ”
The man's face softened a little. "I'm fine. By the time I passed, 0638 had already been subdued. It didn't take long for the people from the Beishan Institute to come, and I disposed of No. 0638, so I didn't have the heart. ”
"I see it." Lina said, "You put the rope around the ...... yourself."
"Hmm."
The man took Lina into his arms, resting his chin on the top of Linna's head, and wrapped his arms around Linna's back as if to melt Lina into his chest. "I know you don't like me to do it yourself, but I can't help it, I have to act like an angry fool in front of the princess and Kitayama."
"But you don't need to get the blood yourself." Lina said softly, her fingers running over the man's cheek, "I'm going to feel distressed." ”
The man smiled and hugged Lina tighter.
The warmth of the man was injected into Linna's body along with the strength of his embrace. She felt a little suffocated, but it didn't seem that difficult to endure it.
"I gave the order. Whether I did it myself or not, I was already stained with blood and couldn't wash it off.
"But I don't regret it, Linna, I don't regret it. Humanity has already been defeated, and those who refuse to admit it will only drag humanity into the abyss.
"They're real fools, fools, bastards. If it weren't for our forbearance, they, we, and you, Lina, would all of us die.
"Everybody, everybody."
The man slid down.
Lina took the opportunity to take the man into her arms. And the man wrapped his hands around Linna's soft waist and abdomen, like a child hugging his mother.
Then he closed his eyes and said no more, perhaps asleep or not.
Lina stared out the window for a long time, at the rising sun, at the vast fields, and at the people and animals who were working like ants under the sun and above the fields.
****
It wasn't until late afternoon that Lena came out of the minister's quarters.
When you come out, you will inevitably run into the farm keeper. Today, for example, she met five or six administrators walking side by side. Looks like he just finished something.
Now Linna is no longer afraid of them, but she still feels a little uncomfortable in her heart.
And those administrators' faces stiffened even more when they saw her. One of them greeted with some embarrassment: "Good afternoon." ”
Lina smiled at him, nodded, and prepared to leave.
"Cut, human animals are human animals, and they can't even say a word."
A whisper of chatter between the Administrators crept into Lina's ears. Lina was unimpressed. As a human animal, she is indeed a little special in being able to speak. This is because she is half of non-Chinese ancestry, has long blond hair, and belongs to a relatively scarce color, so she was raised as a higher human animal as a child, so she escaped the fate of cutting off her vocal cords.
It's just that she was kicked into the queue of inferior human sacrifices for a while, and if she hadn't been encountered by the minister, she would have ......
"By the way, your little cub is out again."
The Administrators had already missed out on Linna, and one of the Administrators turned to her.
As if struck by lightning, Linna stood for a moment, and then ran to her dwelling.
"Tsk, look at her like that, that action, it's disgusting......"
"How could our minister take such an ugly bastard."
"She also has a child with someone else! What did the minister think......"
Behind her, the Administrator's whispers floated over.
