Chapter 17: Death of the Murderer, Wounding and Theft
Although Lu Yuanming said the words to find revenge on the MXG gang, it naturally couldn't be a sentence, and he rushed away with someone with a pat on his head.
This required some planning, as well as some pre-requirements, such as finding the exact location of the MXG gang, figuring out their personnel composition, and determining who had lost the rifle after John's death, and how many rounds of ammunition there were.
And all of this involves another person, Tom.
According to everyone's account, during the eighteen days after Lu Yuanming's return to the mortal world, John went out to explore three times in a row, each time with a person accompanying him, and encountered an accident on the third trip, and the accompanying person on that trip was Tom.
Tom then came back alive and brought back news that John had been backstabbed and the rifle had been robbed, but other than that, he did not explain why he was unharmed, and why the people who had backstabbed John were able to find the bank so quickly.
All the disciples thought that Tom had betrayed again, just as Judas had betrayed Jesus, but this time they were so guarded that Tom could only betray St. John, not the Messiah.
When Tom returned to the bank, he was imprisoned by many disciples, although no one beat and abused him, but no one pleaded for him, and his fate will be decided by Lu Yuanming.
After Lu Yuanming entered the bank, he immediately brought Tom, he looked at Tom's haggard expression, and immediately said softly: "I want to know what happened when you and John went to explore, you have to be honest and say it, if you are not guilty, I guarantee that no one will hurt you, and if you are guilty, I promise that you will only be punished for the extent of your crime." ”
Tom burst into tears all of a sudden, he knelt down to Lu Yuanming while crying and said: "Lord, I have not betrayed St. John, I have not betrayed anyone, when St. John was stabbed in the back, I was frightened, and then I ran back to the bank desperately, Lord, I really did not betray, please believe me, I am the Judas, I have betrayed once because of ignorance and ignorance of the sacred, and I will never and dare not betray the Lord again!" ”
Lu Yuanming was silent for a moment, and then said to Tom: "Our next most important goal is to find that group of MXG people, try them, and kill the guilty, you must accompany you in this battle, and after the war, I will also ask those MXG people if you have betrayed, if you lie now, I will also choose to punish you because of the extent of your lies, the highest is the death penalty, followed by expulsion, do you understand?" ”
Tom was at once excited, and said, "I see, Lord, I am willing to bear all the consequences of what I have now said, I have not betrayed anyone, I am just too cowardly, and I fled immediately after St. John was killed." ”
Lu Yuanming nodded and motioned for Tom to stand up, but the disciples next to him immediately began to speak, most of them thought that Tom was lying, even if they didn't say that he was lying, they also thought that his escape when John was attacked was a betrayal.
Lu Yuanming immediately said to everyone: "Everyone, as you can see, I am just a young man who has just come out of society, I don't have so much social experience, and I don't have the talent to grasp the hearts of the people, let alone an old and cunning person, I just treat you with the greatest sincerity, here, I still want to explain, I am not a person who studies law, my understanding of the law is very shallow, and now the environment we are in is not enough to copy the laws and regulations in the living world. So we decided Tom's crime and punishment in the simplest sense of the law, killing people, wounding people, and stealing crimes, not only for Tom, but for our organization, and all those who will join the organization in the future, all of them are suitable for this simple value, until we have enough people, social progress, and productivity increases, and then we can work together to construct more detailed legal terms, okay? ”
Everyone listened carefully to Lu Yuanming's words, which made many people nod secretly, including those who had great doubts about Lu Yuanming's messianic identity.
Of course, there are also a few people who are not satisfied, and someone immediately says, "Lord, what if Tom is lying?" What if the MXG gang were all killed in the fight with us? Isn't his sin hidden? ”
Leaving sin unpunished is definitely the last thing many people want to accept, so some people do look at Tom angrily.
Lu Yuanming stood in front of Tom at this time, his nearly two-meter-tall body completely blocked Tom behind him, and he said loudly: "So this is what I call the simple values of justice!" Tom may be guilty, he may be betrayed, he may be lying, he may not be able to get the truth because of our war with the MXG people, but the most important thing is, do any of you have evidence of his betrayal, crime, and lying!? ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have also learned about your country in the living world, not even your country, the whole world seems to be like this, including my country, many things have been distorted, what is not this time, it does not mean that it has not happened to others, what is just no evidence, it does not mean that it has not been done...... It is true that exhaustive evidence may allow some criminals and wicked people to escape the punishment of the law, but everyone and remember, I would rather let 10,000 wicked people go because of insufficient evidence, and never let an innocent person be punished by ignoring the evidence! ”
Speaking of this, Lu Yuanming thought of the religious atmosphere of these people, and immediately said: "If you still think that you are my disciples, and you still think that you are practicing my path, then you must recognize this, now and in the future, if you want to determine a person's sin, then you must come up with incomparable evidence of this crime, and you can't deceive, you can't chase after the wind, if not, you are not my disciples, nor my disciples!" ”
In Lu Yuanming's mind, he borrowed the religious atmosphere and ideas of these people, but in the minds of the vast majority of people present, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky.
Father Edward was the first to kneel down and immediately burst into tears: "Whoever comes to me cannot be my disciple unless he loves me more than his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, and his own life...... Lord, it is we foolish lambs who have defiled the love of the Lord, please do not abandon us, but lead us on the way of the Lord!! ”
Everyone around them knelt down and prayed loudly, and Tom was even more crying, kneeling and kowtowing while crying.
Charlie watched all this, all kinds of thoughts kept churning in his heart, and in the end, he also knelt down, and at the same time said to Lu Yuanming: "Sir, please let me follow your way, but I don't believe in God, please be my godfather, please let me kiss your right hand." ”
Lu Yuanming hesitated, he didn't understand why Charlie wanted to kiss his right hand.
(Maybe it's some kind of religious ritual?) For example, the kind of cross that draws a cross on the chest? I'm really fed up, they can't talk properly, like after the crusade against the MXG people, let's all renovate the community and arrange a five-year plan or something? )
Although he didn't understand, but in line with the idea that this is a cultural difference, to respect the religion and culture of Europeans and Americans, and to ask for common ground while reserving differences, Lu Yuanming still smiled and handed his right hand to Charlie, and Charlie kissed Lu Yuanming's right hand gently, and then said to Lu Yuanming: "Please sir give me two pistols and enough ammunition, and my men and I will be responsible for finding the location of the MXG people, and maybe we can tie up one or two lone people." ”
Among the original disciples, a few people showed hesitation on their faces, but Lu Yuanming had just said something serious, so they didn't dare to say anything, and Lu Yuanming agreed to Charlie's request immediately in line with the idea that people are not suspicious and not suspicious.
Even if Charlie really ran away with two pistols, in this afterlife, ammunition cannot be replenished, and only Lu Yuanming can make it, then these two pistols and ammunition are just a tuition fee, and they also remove the unstable factors in the team, this transaction is actually not a loss at all, but if Charlie really wants to work for this organization, then this is to gain hearts and minds and get loyalty, who doesn't want the organization to trust themselves wholeheartedly?
Charlie and his little brother got two pistols, as well as all the ammunition that went with these two pistols, he didn't say much, just bowed deeply to Lu Yuanming, and then ran into the end of the block with his little brother.
In the following time, Lu Yuanming first asked the people in the team one by one what occupations they had and what level of education they had, and then rushed to the park to check the growth of potatoes, and then went back to the bank to discuss the use of the remaining twenty colorless light particles with everyone.
Then at this moment, the sentry man ran back to report that Charlie and the others had returned, and also brought a wounded person with him.
When Charlie, covered in blood, walked into the bank carrying a Latino man, the crowd was in an uproar.
Charlie smiled and said to Lu Yuanming: "Father, I have lived up to your expectations, this blood is the blood of the enemy, this person is one of the MXG people captured by us, he will tell us where their base is, we can avenge St. John." ”
Lu Yuanming was overjoyed, he really lacked people like Charlie who dared to fight, and most of the people in the team were polite.
He was also very strange that since he knew of John's death, many people had repeatedly spoken of St. John, could it be that Europeans and Americans like to add a holy word in front of the name of the dead?
However, this did not prevent Lu Yuanming's next moves, he had long wanted to try whether the colorless light particles could do anything other than make weapons, ammunition, food, and fresh water.
He pinched a colorless light particle, came to the dying MXG man and said, "If I save you, then you can tell me where you are and all the sins you have committed." ”
Lu Yuanming didn't wait for this person to speak, he pressed the colorless light particles towards the wound of this MXG person in the next second.
