Chapter 19: The Boundaries of Justice
With a huge crashing sound, the "Earthshaker" crashed off the road and flew more than ten meters away. The tumbling body stirred up a cloud of dust and flew along with the debris of the car, sparks and gasoline scattered and burned.
The corpse chaser convoy had been decapitated, and the remaining vehicles were scattered and fled, and Gou Cao did not bother to chase them.
After observing for a few minutes, Xiao Na analyzed that there was indeed no danger of explosion, and Gou Cao called Yu Tian to walk towards the wreckage with a steel crossbow.
The driver of the Earthshaker was stabbed in the chest by a twisted roll cage and died with his hands still on the steering wheel. The two shooters sitting in the back seat of the co-pilot and the co-pilot were on the side of the rover hit. Now motionless, his body was covered with burns of varying severity, his face was covered with marks of broken glass, and only the twisted facial muscles concealed by blood still retained the horror of the impact.
As Gou Cao walked over, the man in the iron mask was being pressed under the inverted cockpit, struggling to reach for the pistol that had been thrown to the side.
Putting the pistol into the subspace, supporting the body with a steel bar, and then using the subspace storage device to cut open the seat and pull the man in the iron mask out. Let him lean under a tree. The dragging process went unusually well, and the man in the iron mask did not put up any resistance, as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
"Answer me some questions, and you won't receive unnecessary pain," Gou Ke had imagined countless times in the dungeon of taking revenge on those who had mistreated him, and repaying them a hundred times more cruelty than the torture he had suffered. Now that the opportunity has come, the hatred and anger in Gou Cao's heart have not diminished at all, but reason still allows Gou Cao to control his behavior.
"God of Brokenness...... We have nothing, we are filthy, organic, unclean monsters......" The man in the iron mask did not respond in the slightest reply, but began to whisper a prayer of unknown meaning. Place your right hand flat on your chest and make a prayer gesture. The left arm hung weakly, apparently broken.
"You go back to the car." Seeing this, Gou Ke turned his head and said to Bai Yutian.
Neither the deposit nor the removal of subspace requires the user of the subspace beacon to directly touch the storage object. Seeing her return to the car, Gou Cao cut off a piece of red-hot iron from the burning place on the front of the car and threw it on the thigh of the man in the iron mask. "......" A smell of meat permeated, and if a girl was present, she would definitely vomit.
Gou Ke looked at the iron-masked man condescendingly: "Start with your name. "It's a technique of interrogation, starting with inconsequential questions, and then slowly guiding the other person to ask more important questions if they answer. But that trick didn't work this time.
"We are mended by His grace, and He is born again by our faith...... The iron-masked man's muscles flared up, his neck was flushed, and it was evident that he had endured great pain, but he did not snort in pain, nor did he stop chanting and praying. Instead, he held the iron mask with his right hand and began to tear it.
"The defeated parts should be reforged and relocated to the furnace of flames and holy oil...... "As the iron mask tore, a thin sound of similar pieces of cloth being torn apart began to emanate, and drops of blood dripped down the bottom of the mask, which looked rather eerie.
"Let the broken parts be gathered together to give us salvation and rebirth to us...... All praise be to the broken God! With the sound of flesh being torn apart and a large amount of blood being thrown away, the man in the iron mask finally tore off the mask.
"Ahh Seeing the appearance of the man under the mask, Gou Cao was so frightened that he took three steps back. The skin of the man's entire face under the tree was glued to the back of the mask with his eyelids, and the man himself ripped it off.
On the face, which was blurred with flesh and blood and could no longer be called a face, only the musculature protected by the skin was vaguely gone, and white bones were exposed in many places. Without eyelids, the man's eyes looked particularly hideous, and in the sockets of the eyes with white bones exposed at the edges, two eyeballs with thick blood lines turned to Gou Ke and stared straight at him.
This man had burned an iron mask on his face! is so cruel to himself, no wonder he is so cruel to others. Knowing that he couldn't get a word out of his mouth, Gou Cao picked up a steel crossbow with one hand and aimed it at the man's bloody face, deciding not to let him suffer more.
Gou Cao remembered that he didn't know that it was said in that book that if you harvest thousands of wheat plants in order to eat, it is moral; And if it's just boring, even if it's just cutting a seedling, it's immoral, because the former is a last resort to survive, while the latter hurts innocent lives unnecessarily.
And for Gou Cao, the question of whether to kill or not has been entangled since the end of the world has also figured out the answer at this moment, if it is to survive, then killing is also an option that must be considered, but when killing the other party, you can't make the other party suffer unnecessary pain for reasons such as entertainment or-for-tat revenge.
Gou Cao chose jurisprudence because of the pursuit of justice, and now that the end times have come, no one enforces the law, and Gou Cao has to kill people. For Gou Cao, in order not to become bloodthirsty in the killing, to go to the opposite side of justice, this is the last boundary.
No matter how deep the hatred is and how high the anger is, it must be adhered to, the boundary of justice.
