After encountering disasters and having to live an ascetic life, there is nowhere to vent the depression and despair, and only faith can barely support people to continue walking.

But now, there are terrifying monsters in the town, and ...... That monster is still transformed by a human, that is, someone around you may suddenly become a monster, and then turn to attack yourself and eat your own internal organs and head.

In such a situation, how much is left of people to distinguish between right and wrong, to deal rationally with the current situation, and to think about how to deal with and solve it?

Even the most determined people will have a shattered faith and show cracks.

They no longer believe that God can protect them completely, and too many people have died.

So, in order to protect themselves, they must have more power to protect themselves and their cherished people, so ...... Many people have kept the mysterious book in their hands.

I don't plan to use it, just so that when I encounter danger, even if I can have a little more self-preservation, I will never hurt others, and I never want to become such a monster...... That's how they convinced.

Instead of waiting for others to eat, let yourself nibble on others.

Although everyone is doing this, no one admits that they still have faith in their hearts, and therefore, they are not believers in evil gods, so they ...... They must spit on the believers of evil gods.

In order to prove their faith, they have to start a frenzy of identifying others, and they have to label themselves as right.

And Gladys happened to be one of their best targets.

"That little guy has been around that damn outlander all the time! And she's just a child, a child who doesn't understand any common sense or any reason, no matter what kind of knowledge is difficult to distinguish between good and bad, she accepts it all! How could it be impossible for her to be tainted by that strange knowledge, you say? ”

Nearly everyone in the square reached an alliance. In order to protect themselves, they showed a terrible, crazy appearance, and poured out their malice on a little girl.

"That's right! That's a believer in the evil gods! There must be some demagogic means! Not only the youngest daughter of the Carl family, but I think even Carl himself has already been bewitched! Otherwise, how could it be possible for a lowly foreigner to help in his own home? ”

"I really don't understand! Obviously, that stranger has already been executed, why is the family related to her still running around, and even daring to show up in person, intending to stop this divine judgment! Why haven't they been arrested and judged together!? ”

The situation on the scene has inevitably fallen to one side.

roared loudly, and the crowd began to surge towards Xiao Yi.

Everyone who approached Xiao Yi and them had a fierce look on their faces, looking at the fucking posture, even if Xiao Yi and them were roasted on the fire, it was by no means impossible.

“…… Now, it's a little bit bad. ”

Xiao Yi and Carl couldn't help but look nervous, and Gladys was also hiding behind them, her petite body couldn't stop shaking, and she didn't know what to do.

And just as the crowd was about to approach Xiao Yi and them, they stopped them.

"Wait......!" Herrell said coldly: "It's better to stop such an unevidenced identification, it will only waste everyone's time." If you want to identify, you need to come up with the corresponding evidence, otherwise, you will have to pay the corresponding price! We're facing evil gods right now! There is no room for the slightest personal affection! If you dare to make an indiscriminate identification, it is not surprising that you will end up in the same fate as an ordinary trial! ”

Herer's words are telling others that without evidence, if you arbitrarily identify others, you must pay a relative price.

As a result, everyone stopped approaching Xiao Yi and them, because they had no solid evidence to prove that they must have had an affair with the evil god.

They don't want to put themselves in danger just because of that.

However, even if they gave up, the negative emotions on everyone's faces deepened.

They believe that the Carls must have something to do with the evil gods, even if there is no evidence? At least there is some basis, is the result just like that? Just let them go?

Naturally, Herrell also sensed the dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts, so even he had to say to everyone after some consideration:

"But...... Having been associated with believers in evil gods for a long time, even if there is really nothing, is worth investigating. So, Dr. Carr, I believe that you, as a mature adult, are still an atheist, and you have the ability to discern right from wrong.

But your daughter is not necessarily, so I will hold a judgment against your daughter! Whether she has been associated with the flow of evil gods, or whether she has been tainted by the knowledge of evil gods, let this fair trial reveal the truth. ”

Herrell's words were the best way to deal with the situation, so he immediately won the cheers of the townspeople present.

“…… Herell! You guy ......" Carl, on the other hand, stared at it and couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He shouted at Herrel:

"Is there still sanity and justice in this town now? You executed Laetitia without even putting her to trial! How can I possibly believe that you can still give a fair trial!? ”

And Herrell still responded coldly:

"I've already said that there are no rules for dealing with monsters, and besides, you're also one of the jurors, are you questioning your own impartiality? Or are you going to refuse to cooperate? So...... Then it will not be a trial against your daughter, but a direct arrest of all of you! ”

"Herer, you're ......!"

Karl was about to say something when Gladys suddenly took his hand.

"Daddy...... It's okay, I'll be judged. Those who are clear will clear themselves, and I will definitely end all this safely without anything. ”

The tears on Gladys' face hadn't been wiped away, but the look on her face was so determined.

"Teas......" looked at her daughter, Carl...... clenched his palms tightly, and then ...... Nodding with great difficulty, "I...... Got it, then ...... Go ahead. ”

"Of course you want to go." However, Herrell said, "However, neither you nor the person named Xiao Yi are allowed to participate in this trial against your daughter!" ”

"What......!" Karl was stunned for a moment, and then immediately showed an angry look, "Herrell! What do you mean!? ”

"I thought about it, and sure enough...... When it comes to your own daughter, it is difficult for you and that Xiao Yi to make a fair and rational judgment, so I want to temporarily disqualify you from jurors, understand? ”

"......" Carl knew that he had no right to refuse, so he had to remain silent.

In this way, Gladys's trial was decided, but ...... What will happen next is anyone's guess.

"......" Xiao Yi has been watching all this silently.

He had never been in such a situation before, so he didn't know how to deal with it or how to react.

To tell the truth, Xiao Yi is now confused.

Now...... He had no other way but to take one step at a time.

And the audience in the live broadcast room was also silent.

Nowadays, hallucinations don't matter anymore. How to break through this copy, they have no clue at all.

There is only silence.

Naturally, the others did not have any opinion on Gladys's trial, but they were shouting for a speedy execution.

And Herrell naturally responded to them.

"So...... Without further ado, head to the church for a formal trial. But ......"

However, Herrell's sudden words made everyone stunned.

"However, until then, there is one more thing that must also be resolved together." Herrell said in a cold voice: "As one of the previous believers said, it is not only Karl's family who is related to the believers of that evil god, those girls who have been in contact with her have the possibility of being taught the knowledge of the evil god by her!" Therefore! The girls must also go to church to be judged! ”

Then, Herrell's eyes swept over those present, and he continued:

"Don't try to cover up and hide their actions just because you are a family, for all concealment is useless before God. If anyone dares to hide it, then ...... That person is most likely a believer in an evil god! ”

Listening to Herel's words, everyone was stunned, especially the families of the girls, who were even so frightened that their legs went weak and they almost collapsed on the ground.

Although Herrell's expression was still cold, his eyes were a little more Ling Ran than before.

He is undoubtedly more serious than ever.

No one objected to this decision, so the crowd dispersed to prepare for the coming judgment.

Carl took a deep breath, but then let out a long sigh, and then he said to Xiao Yi and Gladys:

“…… Let's go too. ”

They didn't say anything more before, and walked silently in the direction of the church.

It's just that...... On the way there, Xiao also saw such a scene.

A pair of parents are telling their daughters something.

"Listen, no matter what they ask, you just say you don't know! Ask me how you got out of that damn outlander, and say someone told you to go! You just followed and looked, and you didn't know anything! As for who took you, you can just point to one! Did you hear that!? ”

"But ......"

"Smack!"

The girl seemed to want to say something, but as soon as she spoke, a slap that could almost be called a punch slammed into her face.

"......" The girl looked at her parents in disbelief, her eyes full of disbelief.

And the expressions on her parents' faces were full of fear and anger.

"It's all your fault!" They roared, "It's all because you have to get involved with that lowly foreigner to lead to the current situation!" We've all been hurt by you! In short, we don't care about other people's children, and you can't be a believer in evil gods no matter what! A good home can't be ruined! Do you understand!? ”

"......" In the face of such loud persecution from her parents, the girl lowered her head and said, "Yes...... I understand. ”

“……”

……

Then, this hurried trial officially began.

Nearly the entire town crowded into the church, watching the final verdict.

In addition to the members of the Holy See and the jurors on the high platform, the girls were the ones who sat at the front.

And Gladys sat among them, helpless and scared to keep her distance from each of them.

Xiao Yi and Carl looked at her, and it was inevitable that they would not be worried, after all, she was still young, and it was difficult for her to adapt to this situation.

"Then ......," and at that moment Herrell announced the beginning, "and here begin a just judgment under the witness of God." ”

Herell then looked at the girls and said softly:

"Do not be afraid, just show your devout faith in God and say what you know, but remember, do not lie ......"

But before Herrell could finish speaking, a girl stood up and hurriedly said:

"High Pastor! I don't know anything! I went with them out of curiosity! I really don't know anything! ”

The person who spoke was the girl Xiao Yi had seen before.

She then pointed to another person and pointed out in a loud voice:

"At that time, she was the one who asked me to go with me! What else do you say to relax! I really don't know anything about it! ”

"What......!" The girl she pointed at was also taken aback, and immediately denied it: "Don't talk nonsense!" Never have I ever done ......."

"Your Excellency the High Priest has said it! Don't lie! You should also know what the consequences of lying are, right? ”

"I really ......"

The girl was about to defend herself, but the voices of the people around her stopped her.

"Dead girl! Is it really you who instigated it!? ”

“……！” The girl noticed that at some point, everyone in the church was looking at her.

All of them...... All of them looked at themselves with a kind of judgmental gaze, as if they were really sinners who had committed some great sin.

"Ah...... Ah, I'm ...... I ......"

She is still just a young girl, who has never seen such a scene, and it is even more unlikely that she will be able to withstand the silent violence of people.

"I ...... I ......"

Even though the words of defense kept echoing in her head, she couldn't say a word, as if she was choked by an invisible hand.

"......" Herell also frowned, and said: "Wait first, you don't ......"

However, he was interrupted again.

The girls here are not like their parents, they are devout and determined.

They were just thinking about how to get away with it, and they didn't care about anything else.

The girl, perhaps out of sympathy or guilt, suddenly said, "But, I know, you were also instigated by other people to go with you, right?" So, the responsibility is not on you, it's on the person who deceived us. ”

"I ......" Although she knew in her heart that this was not the case, the girl still nodded instinctively, "Yes, others asked me to go." ”

“……”

From the very beginning, the girl lied, which means that, from the very beginning, this trial has gotten out of control.

More and more people will be drawn into this out-of-control chaos, and they will inevitably be mixed in for their own protection.

And then...... It's only a matter of time before Gladys gets caught up in this mess.
