"It's always like this."

The hangman stared at the woman he called Julie.

"How long has Stoker's body been hanging there before the next damned man has appeared, don't you know the laws of the city of hangings? You don't need to repeat to you what happens to those who embezzle on one side, right? ”

He pulled out a small bag from his bosom, opened it to reveal some bottle caps, stretched out his fingers and pinched one out of front of his eyes, he stared at the bottle cap and sighed.

"This thing has magical powers, doesn't it? It can make people bad, and it can make people stupid.... You think I'll never know about you, do you? ”

The woman kept her head down and remained silent.

Everyone looked at her in silence, and the atmosphere was suffocating.

The hangman flicked the cap of the bottle in his hand into the sky twice, but the third time he accidentally missed it and fell directly to the ground.

Andy couldn't help but smile in his heart as he watched this scene....

A horse boy on the side quickly picked up the bottle cap and sent it back to the boss.

The hangman retracted the cap into the bag and threw it to a person next to him.

"Then come on, where did you hide your money?"

The woman remained silent.

The hangman raised his hand and made a small motion, and the horse boy with the small bag with the cap on it walked up to the woman and placed two caps on the ground, both with the bottom facing up and the sharp part exposed.

"You have one last chance, say it, and give you a good time."

The woman was silent for a moment and then said a location.

The hangman looked at her and responded, "What else? ”

Julie looked up in disbelief.

The hangman sitting on the sofa stretched out a hand and pointed downward, and the two horses grabbed Julie and forced her to kneel forward, and her knees were trampled on top of it, and she suddenly let out a piercing scream of pain.

"Ahh - Nope! ”

A shrill wail pierces a person's eardrums.

After another period of repeated torture, the hangman finally got the answer he wanted.

"It seems that there are those who do not move the truth and will not be honest.... Guess what happened to the guy who did this with you? ”

Julie, who was already in tears, stared blankly at the hangman.

He said everything he wanted to be forgiven, and I said that if you hold on a little longer, you might still get a little bit of decency. So I had all his teeth knocked out and threw him to the coyotes. ”

The hangman shrugged.

"It's a pity that he can't be hung up like that."

Julie shuddered, and eventually hysterically spat on the hanger.

"You butcher! You madman! All the bottle caps are in your hands, you only give the money to your own people, and the entire inhabitants of the inner city are simply your slaves..... I curse you to be hanged sooner or later! ”

A baseball bat swung from the side, knocking her to the ground.

"Hang her."

An indifferent voice came from the hangman's mouth, and the two ponies dragged the unconscious Julie out.

Andy watched all of this without making any comments or making any moves.

A boy used a mop to clean the blood from the ground with great skill, and after only a few minutes it was as neat as it had been at the beginning, as if nothing had happened.

The hangman looked at Andy and beckoned to the horse boy to the side, and immediately someone brought a high-backed chair.

"Please sit down, it's been a long time.... Andy. ”

Andy glanced at the chair and didn't know where it was recovered, it was dirty, but it was gorgeous... So he sat down calmly and came face to face with the hangman who was sitting on the sofa opposite.

"It's been an eye-opener for me to come back this time, and it looks like you really like to hang people in every sense of the word."

The hangman let out a terrible dark laugh, a twisted smile on his scarred face, some of his mental illnesses worse than before.

"Hanging is a good invention, isn't it... It doesn't take much of it, it's just a rope, and the tortured person will remember his life for a short and long time before he dies, regretting his mistakes, and you will see things that are incomprehensible, and those who have not experienced them will not understand. ”

Andy got goosebumps when he heard this, and scolded this bastard for being a pervert.

"How the hell did you do all this?"

The hangman smiled, looking like a ghost.

"I have to thank this inexplicable plague, when Crosstown was littered with corpses under the ravages of disease, Justin behaved like a stupid stupid pig, he tried to escape with the money, but I found out.... So I hanged him with my own hands. After that, things became very simple, people were afraid of the blue disease, and whoever gave them hope, they obeyed. ”

The hangman stood up and moved his neck.

"Although you have heard it, some people have some objections, but the people here can enjoy a lot of things that people in the wasteland can't enjoy, they don't have to worry about having no water to drink, nothing to eat, no worries about getting radiation sickness, no worries about being eaten by wild beasts or being killed by bandits.... Isn't that enough to satisfy them? ”

Andy didn't respond, but asked another question.

"The last time I left, the plague in Crosstown was already quite severe, how did you deal with it?"

The hangman put his hand in his trouser pocket and swung it from side to side.

"It's actually quite simple... It's just to get rid of all the sick people, and if they are found to be sick, they can choose to leave or be kicked out by me.... Some people were caught hiding their problems, so I hanged them. I thought at first that I might be opposed, but to my surprise everyone supported me, and I divided the settlement into two parts, the inner and the outside, and the merchants who brought in money could also bring bad things, so they were subject to strict inspection and were not allowed to enter the real core area. ”

"That's it?"

Andy was a little incredulous.

"That's all.... As long as the existing order is not chaotic, there will be no more major problems, I even went to Dave to analyze the intensity of the spread of this disease, in fact... According to his conclusion, the more blue blisters there are on a sick person, the more contagious they are, and the peak time is after the patient dies, and until then, it is important to take the necessary countermeasures. ”

The hangman gave a bland explanation, leaning back on the sofa and cocking Erlang's legs.

"In the face of great problems, man is naturally inclined to order, and order can be established by doing only two things, firstly to master absolute violence, and secondly to perfect the distribution of benefits.... After that, everything will go very smoothly. ”
