Chapter 132: Burning at the stake
"Here we go!"
Looking at the group of city guard soldiers who were hurrying away like the garrison of the hunters, Duanmu Ruifeng said with a solemn expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't talk, just watch!"
Duanmu Ruifeng said in a low tone, and then quickly followed with Skye.
When he returned to the Hunter's territory, Red Kou and Daybreak were shackled and escorted away by the city guards like the castle lord's hall.
Behind him, Mark's heart-rending shouts and whispers of the hunters could be heard.
"They... What's going on? ”
For some reason, Skye suddenly felt a sense of panic in his heart, always feeling that something bad was about to happen.
However, Duanmu Ruifeng obviously did not mean to explain, but followed again.
"Hongkou, do you know what is wrong?"
In the City Lord's Hall, the Morgan City Lord, who was already in a bad mood because of Duanmu Ruifeng, couldn't help but burn again with the anger he had just suppressed after hearing about Hongkou.
If that person wasn't Hongkou, he probably wouldn't have given her a chance to defend herself, but directly ordered the person to be executed.
"It's true that I've violated the three rules of the lighthouse, but I don't think I'm wrong!"
In the blink of an eye, Hongkou swept through all the high-level lighthouses present, and a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that he had never seen before.
"You violated the Three Laws, but you still refuse to admit your mistake!"
Morgan angrily stood up and asked loudly at the Red Kou.
"Love is human nature, what's wrong?"
Red Kou chuckled as if he hadn't seen Morgan's rage.
"Lord of the city, human nature is the greatest proof of who we are, if we lose even our human nature, then even if we are still alive, we can't continue to call us human!"
"Shut up!"
Morgan shouted again.
Hongkou's words were almost a sharp blade stuck in his chest, causing his concept to suffer a huge impact.
At first, he thought that because of the idea of the woman integrating into the Manna ecology, he thought that it would be impossible to call it a human being.
Today, however, some people say that people who destroy humanity cannot be called human beings either.
One is that the flesh is integrated into the Mana ecology and retains humanity.
The other is to destroy humanity and preserve the flesh.
Who is right and who is wrong, at this moment, even he himself was shaken for a moment.
But Morgan is Morgan after all, and even if what he did at the beginning was indeed wrong, it is impossible to change it now.
Because it's not only about your own face, but also about the stable operation of the lighthouse.
Once the stability of the lighthouse is completely broken, then this paradise floating in the sky is likely to collapse in an instant, which is absolutely unacceptable to him.
"Lord of the City, human nature is the foundation of human beings, you can suppress it for a while, but you can't suppress it for a lifetime."
"Shut up!"
"One day, more and more people will wake up and resist the oppression of the Three Laws!"
"Smack..."
"I told you to shut me up!"
Morgan's loud roar, mixed with a gunshot, finally stopped what Red Kou was about to say.
But it was too late, and in the hearts of some of the people present, they were already inevitably affected by the Red Kou.
The effect may not be visible now, and it may be very weak, but when Morgan grows old, when someone stands up against the Three Laws, it will become a raging fire.
But this is not enough, Duanmu Ruifeng has to fill another piece of dry wood for this fire.
"What will the old man do to them?"
At this time, Skye was already completely clear about the current situation, and couldn't help but ask in a somewhat apprehensive tone.
In her preconceived notions, this is simply a crazy place.
Not only has it completely trampled on people's freedom, but even feelings have become a sin, how can there be such a hateful place in the world.
"Die..."
Duanmu Ruifeng's gentle words made Skye tremble violently, and he looked at Hongkou's gaze more and more sympathetic and adoring.
Sympathy is because of what happened to her!
I worship because she dares to be the vanguard of the struggle against power, and because of her belief that she is not afraid of life and death.
"You're going to save them, aren't you?"
Skye whispered in a somewhat eager tone.
"That's right! Hongkou was the first person to dare to rebel against the Three Laws, so how could I let them really die? ”
"As long as she doesn't die, then people will never forget that someone has successfully resisted the Three Laws, and they won't lose hope."
In his previous life, he had wondered why no one dared to stand up against the Three Laws after Hongkou and before Mark!
It wasn't until he was actually in the lighthouse that he realized that the oppression of people by the lighthouse was multifaceted, and people had begun to think that the world was supposed to be like this.
Especially after Hongkou rebelled against the Three Laws and was burned alive, he was even more successful in killing chickens and monkeys, making people dare not rise to the idea of resistance.
So what if Red Kou and Dawn survive today?
Will it give them hope?
Even if this hope is very slim, there should be someone who musters up the courage to stand up!
Although this rebellion may still be useless, it will not have a real impact on the reign of the lighthouse.
But it will undoubtedly tear a gap in the hierarchical class system of the lighthouse.
When Mark stands up, he will completely set off a revolution, a revolution that overthrows the Three Laws.
"The former Hunter Commander Hongkou, who broke the dawn with the soldiers, openly violated the three laws of the lighthouse, had illegal intimate contact, and did not repent, and sentenced the two to be burned at the stake according to the law, which was immediately executed publicly."
At Morgan's order, Red Kou and Daybreak left the main hall and went to the stake under the escort of the city guards.
"You're still going to make a move?"
Skye said anxiously.
"It's not time yet, and there is still one last scene to be played!"
Duanmu Ruifeng's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an interested expression, looking like Morgan on the high platform.
I don't know if he can bear this big gift he gave, I hope he won't be stunned!
Duanmu Ruifeng smiled slightly, and then followed from behind with Skye.
Although Skye was anxious, there was nothing he could do at the moment, but he could only quickly follow the footsteps of Duanmu Ruifeng.
When the two arrived at the execution ground, the two were already at the stake, surrounded by lighthouse residents.
They didn't know exactly what was going on at this point, until Victor publicly announced the charges against them, which caused an uproar.
Although the charges have been announced, the Red Kou does make Morgan very angry.
But after all, she is the heir cultivated by Morgan, and he is a little reluctant to execute Hongkou so ruthlessly.
So in the end, he decided to give her another way to live.
And it was definitely impossible for him to say this by himself, so he had to let Victor speak on his behalf.
