Quenched long order

Chapter 208 That Night

Kraut looked at the young man on the execution platform. Due to the distance and the fact that his left hand was tied behind his back, it was impossible to distinguish the authenticity.

Jason also noticed something. He coughed twice, glanced left and right, and realized that Kraut was too eye-catching now, so he whispered:

"Come with me and talk somewhere else. Don't worry, it's still some time before the execution."

His eyes are sincere.

Kraut looked into Jason's eyes. He had heard about the vice-captain in front of him before. In addition, he had previously solved the Black Domain Incident together, and he had a better understanding of Jason. He knew , Jason did not lie to him, but he still kept an eye out. After all, other people might lie to Jason.

Two minutes later, Jason took Kraut to a room with a good view on the right side of the execution platform. This was a position specially arranged for him by the garrison.

Looking out from the window, you can see the execution platform clearly.

Kraut looked at the young man's left hand and found that it was indeed different from Sauer's slightly bony left hand. At this time, he felt a little relieved.

He found a seat and sat down, "Jason, tell me, what exactly happened in the past seven days?"

Jason sat on the other side. He looked at Kraut and sighed. Then, after nearly five seconds, he shook his head and said slowly:

"I don't know many things clearly, but I will tell you everything I know."

At the same time, a majestic announcement came from the window, beginning to detail the youth's crimes, as well as the honors and achievements Martin had brought to Westwood Port.

The crowd grew quiet.

Jason took a deep breath, and his memory seemed to return to the night he escaped from the dry well.

He briefly told what happened after Kraut was attacked. During this period, because Berry and Sauer left one after another, he could only take care of Kraut and Martha alone. Since Kraut's injury was not serious, he could only take care of Kraut and Martha. He stayed where he was and waited. Not long after, a guard came over.

After that, he took Kraut and Martha back to Ximu Port.

"After the doctor came, your condition deteriorated sharply. It should be due to those flesh-and-blood relationships... The impact seems to have not subsided..." Jason thought thoughtfully.

Kraut knew that what Jason was referring to was the flesh and blood that alienated the body in the Black Domain Order, and belonged to the descendants of the King of the Black Domain.

"Later, Lupine learned about your situation and immediately asked for help. I heard that it took a lot of money to stabilize your situation." Jason took a deep breath and exhaled deeply, although his tone was as low as possible. Relaxed, but still unable to conceal the emergency situation at the time.

"Thank you for your hard work." Kraut thanked him.

Jason waved his hand, "I didn't do anything. Speaking of which..." He turned to look out the window, "It was the same when I was in the Black Domain Order..."

Disappointment spread across his face.

Even Martha, with the ability to rewind time acquired in the underground space, helped the three of them avoid many dangers. Afterwards, despite the mutation, she still relied on the mutated flesh and blood to fight against the leader of the Black Domain Order and let another world Naven wakes up at a critical moment.

"Where's Masha?" Kraut asked.

Jason retracted his thoughts with a serious expression, "That night, I asked Martha to stay in my house. When your condition stabilized, I went to find her and found that she had fallen asleep..."

Having said this, a look of fear appeared on Jason's face.

"...Actually, I don't know if it counts as falling asleep. When she talks, I can still connect her now with her before. Kraut, you should know this feeling, but when she falls asleep While she was alive, the strange flesh and blood kept moving on her body, and occasionally, her face would deform and change into something else, like another person."

"Rachel?" Kraut thought of something.

Jason was stunned for a moment, "Oh, maybe."

He brought the topic back and continued: "The next day, Martha's situation was very wrong. Just like before, her body seemed to separate itself. Do you know that feeling? In this case, I I don’t know who to ask. If I find someone to treat her directly, the news that she is a monster will soon spread throughout Ximu Port, so... I thought of Luping, he cares about you very much, so I told Lupin, said that Martha is an important subject of your research, um... I have heard something about the alchemist..."

Alchemists are not saints, and in many cases they are not even good people. Sauer had realized this when he first asked for help, not to mention that Kraut himself later admitted it.

"...Martha should still be at Lupine's place now. I've seen her twice and she hasn't woken up yet. Maybe it's because of you. Luping and the others didn't do any research. They just kept Martha with things. By the way. , I also gave them all the information I brought out from the reference room, maybe they can figure out something."

Jason kept saying that it seemed that he had been keeping these things in his heart these days, and it was only now that he finally had someone to tell him.

"I can't figure out how it could be like this."

As he spoke, he shook his head, looking lonely.

There were five people who entered the dry well seven days ago. Although the three of them initially went there just for investigation, the changes they encountered later and the twists and turns they experienced together were all facts.

"You, and them..." Jason paused, "...should have accepted the honor from Westwood Port, at least a golden medal of honor. The entire Westwood Port should remember you and thank you."

Kraut tapped the table with his right index finger. At this time, the announcement outside the window had ended. Next, the execution of a young man named Sauer would be carried out.

The two of them chose silence at the same time, stood up, walked to the window, and looked out the window.

Perhaps it was the emergence of black fog that cast a shadow over the entire city, or perhaps the death of city lord Martin made the residents of Westwood Port very worried about the future. In short, now, a vent appeared in front of them, a A person of unknown origin, a person with no background, and a murderer in full view. It seems that at this moment, no one in Ximu Port is more guilty than the death row prisoner kneeling on the execution platform.

The crowd cheered, and rotten eggs and fruit peels were thrown towards the execution platform. At this moment, even the air became hot.

The executioner raised the ax high, the blade of the ax was sharp with cold light, and then, amid the urging sounds, his strong arms chopped the ax down with force.

Blood spattered from the young man's neck, and the head rolled to the side, motionless.

The crowd fell into a brief silence.

Just like Kraut and Jason at the window.

Then, fierce cheers came one after another like waves, as if they were about to blow away the black fog.

Kraut looked at everything in front of him, and inexplicably thought of the story of the Eternal Boat told by the leader of the Black Domain Religion in another world. As long as the bottom layer is sealed, the boat will not leak. The scene in front of him is very similar. He recalled the conversation between him and Sauer standing on the hill on the day when the black fog appeared.

If Sauer can't prove that he has nothing to do with the Black Mist, then it's not recommended to give it a try.

What if it works?

The young man's head stopped at the edge of the execution platform, and his wide-open eyes stared at the ocean. His eyes seemed full of confusion and confusion, as if he couldn't see through the world.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and the time when death was worth paying attention to was only the moment when the head fell.

"By the way, the next day, Sauer did it on the second night." Jason said.

"Kill Martin?" Kraut frowned slightly.

"Yes, I was not there at the time. Because of what happened between you and Martha, by the time I arrived, Shaoer had already been taken away. Moreover, the captain did not let anyone come into contact with Shaoer." Jason frowned. Wrinkled, "I can't figure it out."

"When is the next day?" Kraut held his hands on the edge of the window and leaned out a little.

"night."

"You said this Sauer is fake..." Kraut turned his head and looked at Jason with a deep look, "You said... is it possible that Martin who was killed that night was also fake?"

Jason's face showed a look of realization, but it soon turned into confusion, "But... why?"
