Chapter 138: Judgment
Xiao Nan is dead.
When I checked on him, I found that the guy was out of breath, the corpse was still foaming at the mouth, his eyes were looking at the ceiling unwillingly, and his hands were still clutching my egret bow. It was completely beyond my expectations, in front of me. A weak ghost killed one of my employers.
And this scene made me unable to slow down, I contacted Li Tang Tang in a panic, and he told me very seriously that this was a self-explosion.
The self-detonation of the ghost is to inject yin qi into the enemy's body. It is equivalent to the soul scattering, but it is more painful than the soul scattering. When the self-explosion occurs, the ghost will still have a remnant soul, which will be tormented by pain all the time, and this remnant soul will always remember the most painful time before he died.
It will be like this for 7749 days, and the remnant soul will be completely lost. And because the lethality of self-explosion is so small, almost no ghost is willing to blow it up.
Xiao Nan would not have died, but he stayed at home all day playing sticker games, and his physical fitness was much weaker than that of normal people. His body's yang energy was already insufficient. If an ordinary person experiences a self-explosion at this level, he will be seriously ill for a few days at most, but if he is like me, he will be fine after a few minutes of rest, because Li Aiai is really weak.
But Xiao Nan couldn't survive it, that bit of yin energy was enough to completely kill him who was already lacking in yang energy.
I know in my heart that if it weren't for Li Aiai's stupid brain, there would definitely be no self-explosion. She just subconsciously wanted to protect herself, but in exchange for such a result. If it were any normal ghost, who would want to be in pain for 7749 days after the soul was gone?
The next day, I returned to the Yuanmen headquarters in a state of lost spirit, and I finally knew why Luo Qiaoqiao said that Yuanmen was not worried that the disciple would lie when reporting the mission.
Because before reporting the task for the first time, the disciple needs to swear to Taishang Laojun. I swore that I would never report to Yuanmen that there was a trace of false mission information, otherwise my soul would be scattered and I would not be able to die well.
Taoist priests can't joke about Taishang Laojun, because when it comes to Taoist priests, God stares at them very clearly, and that's luck. Once you lie to Taishang Laojun, your luck will also decrease, which is the so-called retribution.
And after I reported the results of the mission, the Yuanmen side immediately ordered me to stay in the house and not come out, waiting for their next result, saying that they were going to sentence me.
I sat on the bed in the room, quietly looking at the ceiling, I don't know why, my mind was full of what Li Aiai looked like before she blew herself up. I could see clearly that the expression was visceral horror. Fear, and full of helplessness.
Why is this happening......
Only people are afraid of ghosts, so why do ghosts look so scared?
In the afternoon, there was a knock on the door. When I opened the door, I saw Cao Da and Sun Shangxiang standing at the door, and surprisingly, Luo Qiaoqiao also came.
I welcomed the three of them in and asked them why they had come out of nowhere. Luo Qiaoqiao sighed, and she said softly: "According to the usual practice, the mission department will send you to the Criminal Law Department to judge the crime, according to the rules of the Yuanmen, the Taoist fellow can help to defend yourself, a bit like a court." But it's much simpler than a courtroom. The trial begins at six o'clock tonight, and we will speak for you then. ”
I nodded, and sat down in my chair dumbfounded. Cao Da patted me on the shoulder and signaled that I should not worry too much and that I would take care of the matter.
At about five o'clock in the evening, someone came to tell me that he wanted me to go with them to the Yuanmen trial. Cao Da and the others followed me and went to the Criminal Law Department together.
The Criminal Law Department is a building located on the south side of the Yuanmen, which is specially set up for disciples who violate the rules of the gate and fail their missions. According to Luo Qiaoqiao, there are 81 trial rooms in this criminal law department, and trials are held every night.
When I got to my trial room, I saw that there were already a lot of people sitting in it, but they seemed to be all staff, and it was set up not like a courtroom, but like a classroom, except that the podium had been replaced by a desk, and a man was sitting there. Luo Qiaoqiao secretly told me that it was one of the law enforcement officers in Yuanmen.
We were all sitting in chairs, presumably to protect privacy, and a staff member closed the door.
The law enforcement officer looked at the documents on the table, and his voice sounded quite serious: "Jiang Cheng, do you know why I called you over?" ”
I nodded, "Yes, because my employer is dead." ”
The law enforcement officer looked up and asked the staff of the Mission, "What do you have to say about the Mission?" ”
"Yes."
One person hurriedly stood up, and he said excitedly: "This is an assignment task, which can be described as the simplest type of task in Yuanmen. According to our observation of Jiang Cheng's weaknesses, we arranged a ghost mission that was almost non-lethal and would not pose a threat to the safety of the employers. Jiang Cheng himself can definitely testify, and it has been stated in the mission information that according to our analysis, the ghost does not have a strong desire to attack, and it cannot threaten the employer at all. This is obviously just a task to train courage, but Jiang Cheng can cause the death of an employer, which is simply ...... Unreasonable! ”
The law enforcement officer snorted, the expression on his face made it impossible to see his thoughts, he looked at me, and said softly: "Jiang Cheng, you now explain the matter carefully and carefully, as well as your contact with your employer, I need to determine whether you borrowed a knife to kill because of personal vendetta." ”
I told the law enforcement officer what had happened thoroughly, and when I had finished speaking, the law enforcement officer asked, "Now...... Does anyone have anything to say for Jiang Cheng? ”
"Me!"
Sun Shangxiang immediately stood up, and she said quite seriously: "Sir, that Xiao Nan is originally a scumbag, and he is innocent!" ”
"Please don't judge things with personal emotions...... the law enforcement officer said calmly, "We are employees, they are employees, we take money to do things, we are not qualified to judge and inquire about the employer's personality, only responsible for getting things done." If they all work for good people, then it is impossible for Yuanmen to make money. ”
Sun Shangxiang sighed and sat back in the chair aggrievedly. Luo Qiaoqiao stood up at this time, and she said softly: "Sir, Jiang Cheng really didn't protect his employer, and he has part of the responsibility. But at that time, Jiang Cheng was supposed to stop his employer, and it was the employer's violent actions that caused this kind of thing to happen, and I think the punishment for Jiang Cheng could be reduced. ”
"But we need to be aware of the ......," the staff of the mission department immediately retorted, "all these things happened because Jiang Cheng forcibly took his employer to face the ghosts." The employer paid us to do something, and let him do it himself, what is the reason? I think Jiang Cheng is impulsive and should be expelled from the Yuanmen headquarters. ”
"Please don't do that."
Cao Da immediately stood up, and he said pleadingly: "This is Jiang Cheng's first time doing a task, please give him another chance." ”
"Can you be acquitted of the first murder?" The staff member asked rhetorically.
The law enforcement officer waved his hand at this time, he looked at me and asked seriously, "Jiang Cheng, what do you want to say?" ”
I took a deep breath, then looked up into the law officer's eyes and said seriously, "If I had to do it again, I would do it again." ”
"Wow!"
There was an uproar, and the whole room was filled with gasps, whispering and feeling incredulous to me.
I looked at my hand and whispered, "I've always thought that people are people and ghosts are ghosts. And this time it gave me a new perspective, sir, and I found that they were also frightened, scared, helpless, desperate, and crying from the heart. I just figured out a point, before they became ghosts, weren't they also living like us, like humans? This incident has given me a lot of perspectives, but if I had to do it again, I would do it again. Some wicked people need to pay for others, and some wicked people need to pay for the dead. ”
"Is that your answer?" The law enforcement officer asked.
I nodded, "Yes, yes." ”
People looked at me dumbfounded, and Luo Qiaoqiao poked me in the shoulder, angrily complaining that I was talking nonsense.
The law enforcement officer thought for a while, and then he said: "Jiang Cheng caused the death of his employer because of his emotional decision-making, and he should be expelled from Yuanmen." But we have to consider one point before, the reason why all this happened was because the employer added the task halfway without permission, hoping that Jiang Cheng would choose to exceed it and increase the difficulty of the task. So I think the employer is also partly responsible, so ...... Send Jiang Cheng to the land of sin for two months, so be it. ”
"The Land of Sin!" Perishing on the edge of the earth.
Luo Qiaoqiao exclaimed in surprise, her face full of horror and nervousness......
