Chapter 243 Losing control

After encountering a disaster, one must live an ascetic life. There is nowhere to vent the depression and despair. Only faith can barely support people to continue walking.

But now, another terrifying monster has appeared in the town, and... the monster is still transformed from a human being. In other words, someone around you may suddenly turn into a monster, and then turn around to attack and eat you. His own internal organs and brain.

Under such circumstances, how much reason can people have left to distinguish right from wrong, treat the current situation rationally, and think about how to respond and solve it?

Even the most steadfast people will have their faith cracked and show cracks.

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

Therefore, in order to protect themselves, they must have more power to protect themselves and the people they cherish. Therefore... many people have hidden the mysterious book in their hands.

I don't intend to use it, just to have even a little more power to protect myself when encountering danger. I will never hurt others, and I never want to become such a monster... This is what they persuaded me.

Instead of waiting to be eaten by others, let yourself be eaten by others.

Although everyone is doing this, no one admits that they still have faith in their hearts. Therefore, they are not believers of the evil god, so... they must spurn the believers of the evil god.

In order to prove their beliefs, they must start to point out others crazily and label themselves the right path.

And Gladys also happened to become one of their best targets.

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

But the same cannot be said for your daughter, so I will conduct a trial against your daughter! Whether she has interacted with the evil god and his followers, and whether she has been contaminated by the knowledge of the evil god, let this fair trial reveal the truth. "

"Herrell, you...!"

"That little guy has been staying with that damn foreigner! And she is just a child, a child who doesn't understand any common sense or principles. No matter what kind of knowledge it is, it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad. She accepts everything! How do you think it’s impossible for her to be contaminated by that strange knowledge?”

Herrell said: "I thought about it, and sure enough... when it comes to your daughter, it is difficult for you and that Xiao Yi to make a fair and rational judgment, so I want to temporarily deprive you of your juror qualifications, do you understand? "

"...Herrell! You guy..." Karl, on the other hand, stared at him and couldn't help but grit his teeth.

The tears on Gladys' face have not been wiped away, but the look on her face is so determined.

When Karl was about to say something, Gladys suddenly held his hand.

Everyone who approaches Xiao Yi and the others has a fierce look on their face. Looking at their posture, it is definitely not impossible to roast Xiao Yi and the others on the fire.

"Tisi..." Looking at his daughter, Karl... clenched his hands tightly, and then... nodded with great difficulty, "I... understand, then... go ahead."

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

Herrell's words could be said to be the best way to handle the situation at the moment, so he immediately won the cheers of the townspeople present.

Now...he has no other choice but to take one step at a time.

The viewers in the live broadcast room were also silent.

"Of course you want to go." However, Herrell added: "But, neither you nor that person named Xiao Yi can participate in this trial against your daughter!"

"Dad...it's okay. I will accept the trial. Those who are innocent will be punished. I will definitely end this peacefully without anything happening."

The only answer is silence.

To be honest, Xiao Yi is confused now.

"I really can't understand! Obviously the foreigner has been executed, why is the family related to her still running around, and even dares to show up in person, intending to prevent this sacred trial! Why not put them to death Arrested and tried together!?"

Naturally, the others had no objections to Gladys' trial. It would be better to say that they were loudly urging it to be carried out quickly.

In the entire square, almost everyone reached an alliance. In order to protect themselves, they showed a terrifying and crazy look and poured out their malice on a little girl.

Xiao Yi and Karl couldn't help but look nervous, and Gladys was hiding behind them. Her petite body couldn't stop trembling, and she was at a loss.

"..." Karl knew that he had no right to refuse, so he could only respond in silence.

They don't want to put themselves in danger just because of something like this.

He roared loudly at Herrell:

"Is there any sense or justice in this town now? You executed Letitia without even trying her! How could I possibly believe that you can still make a fair trial!?"

At this point, hallucinations are no longer important. They have no idea how to break through this copy.

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

And just when the crowd was about to approach Xiao Yi and the others, they stopped together.

He had never encountered such a situation before, so he had no idea how to deal with it or how to react.

"...This time, it's a little bit worse."

Herrell's words are telling others that if there is no evidence, if you randomly identify others, you will have to pay a relative price.

"..." Xiao Yi has been watching all this in silence.

And Herrell naturally responded to them.

Herrell responded coldly:

"I have already said that there is no need to use human rules to deal with monsters. Moreover, you are also one of the jurors. Are you questioning your own impartiality? Or are you planning to refuse to cooperate? Then... it will not be the case then. Instead of putting your daughter on trial, we will arrest all of you!"

"That's right! Those are followers of the evil god! They must have some means of bewitching people's hearts! Not only the little daughter of the Karl family, I think even Karl himself has been bewitched! Otherwise, how could a despicable foreigner be allowed to be here? Where are the helpers at home?"

"Wait...!" Herrell said coldly: "It's better to stop making such identifications without evidence. It will only waste everyone's time. If you want to make identifications, you need to provide corresponding evidence, otherwise, just You have to pay a corresponding price! We are facing the evil god now! There is no room for any personal feelings! If you dare to identify randomly, it will not be surprising even if you end up with the same end as a normal trial!"

In this way, Gladys's trial has been decided, but... no one can predict what will happen next.

Roaring loudly, the crowd began to surge towards Xiao Yi.

They determined that the Karl family must be related to the evil god, so what if there was no evidence? At least there is some basis, but the result is just like this? Just let them go?

Herrell naturally noticed the dissatisfaction in everyone's hearts, so even he had to say to everyone after some consideration:

"But... you have been in contact with believers of the evil god for a long time, even if there is really nothing, it is still worthy of investigation. Therefore, Dr. Karl, I believe that as a mature adult and an atheist, you have The ability to distinguish right from wrong.

The situation at the scene has inevitably turned to one side.

"Then... without further ado, let's go to the church immediately for a formal trial. But..."

However, Herrell's sudden words made everyone stunned.

"But, before that, there is one more thing that must be resolved together." Herrell said coldly: "As a previous believer said, it is not just Karl's family who is related to the believers of the evil god. Those who have been The girls who have been with her all have the possibility of being taught the knowledge of evil gods by her! Therefore! Those girls must also go to the church to be judged!"

Then, Herrell's eyes swept over everyone present, and then said:

"Don't try to cover up and hide their actions just because they are a family. In front of God, all concealment is meaningless. If someone dares to hide it, then... that person is most likely a believer of the evil god!" Listen Hearing Herrell's words, everyone was stunned, especially the families of the girls. They were even frightened so much that their legs weakened and they almost collapsed on the ground.

Although Herrell's expression was still stern, his eyes were a little more formidable than before.

He is undoubtedly more serious than ever.

No one objected to this decision, so everyone dispersed to prepare for the coming trial.

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

"...let's go too."

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

But... on the way there, Xiao Yi saw such a scene.

A pair of parents are giving instructions to their daughter.

"Listen carefully, no matter what they ask later, just say you don't know! If they ask you how you got together with that damn foreigner, just say someone else asked you to go! You just went to see it. Just looking, you don’t know anything! As for who took you there, you can just point to anyone! Did you hear that!?”

"But……"

"Snapped!"

The girl seemed to want to say something else, but as soon as she spoke, a slap that could almost be called a punch hit her hard on the face.

"..." The girl looked at her parents in shock, with disbelief in her eyes.

As for her parents, the expressions on their faces were full of fear and anger.

"It's all your fault!" they roared: "It's all your fault that you had to get involved with that despicable foreigner, which led to the current situation! We were all harmed by you! In short, other people's We don’t care about the children, but you can’t be a believer of the evil god no matter what! A good family cannot be destroyed! Do you understand!?”

"..." Faced with such loud persecution from her parents, the girl lowered her head and said, "Yes... I understand."

"..."

……

Then, this hasty trial officially began.

Nearly the entire town crowded into the church, watching the final outcome of the trial.

In addition to the members of the Holy See and the jurors on the high platform, the girls were sitting furthest forward.

And Gladys was sitting among them, helpless and fearful, keeping her distance from each of them.

Xiao Yi and Karl looked at her, inevitably not worried. After all, she was still young and it would be difficult for her to adapt to this situation.

"Then..." At this moment, Herrell announced the start, "Under the witness of God, let's begin a fair trial here."

Herrell then looked at the girls and said softly:

"You don't need to be afraid. Just show your devout faith in God and tell what you know. But remember, never use lies..."

However, before Herrell finished speaking, a girl stood up and said hurriedly:

"Master High Priest! I don't know anything! I just followed 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 identified it loudly:

"At that time, she was the one who asked me to go with her! She also said she wanted to relax! I really didn't know anything about it!"

"What...!" The girl she pointed at was also shocked and immediately denied: "Don't talk nonsense! I have never done anything..."

"The Great Priest said! Don't lie! You should also know the consequences of lying, right?"

"I really……"

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

"Damn girl! Did you really instigate this!?"

"...!" The girl then noticed that from unknown time on, everyone in the church was looking at her.

Everyone... was looking at him with a judgmental gaze, as if he was really a sinner who had committed some serious crime.

"Ah...ah, I...I..."

She is still just a young girl. She has never seen such scenes, and it is even less likely that she can withstand people's silent violence.

"me……"

Even though the words of defense kept echoing in her mind, she couldn't say a word, as if her neck was being strangled by invisible hands.

"..." Herrell also frowned and said, "Wait a minute, don't..."

However, he was interrupted again.

The girls here are different from their parents, who are devout and firm in their beliefs.

They were just thinking about how to escape the blame, and they didn't care about other things.

The girl, perhaps out of sympathy or guilt, suddenly said: "But, I know that you were instigated by others to go together, right? So, the responsibility does not lie with you, but with the one who deceived us. The right talent.”

"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 beginning, the girl lied, which meant that the trial was out of control from the beginning.

More and more people will be involved in this out-of-control chaos, and in order to protect themselves, they will inevitably get involved.

Then... it's only a matter of time before Gladys will be involved in this chaos.
