in the name of the queen

Chapter 138 Sister or sister?

"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts too much."

It was pitch black before his eyes, and he didn't know where he was, but he could only feel the endless pain all over his body.

who am I?
  where am I?
  Am I dead?

Munina opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at the dome paintings with countless little angels flying around the gods. Her mind went blank for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, the memories before the coma gradually came back to life.

She knows who she is.

She is the youngest daughter of the leader of the Gram Siren tribe. She was captured during a mission to attack the fleet and became a prisoner and tortured by humans.

Last night, her people finally came to save her.

Unfortunately, the rescue failed and was ambushed by humans.

The tribe didn't want her to fall into the hands of the humans and cause greater losses, so they ended her life with a poisonous arrow.

Things have developed to this point, which is within the scope of her understanding.

Although it was painful, she would not resent anyone.

However, the person who did it was her sister, the sister she grew up with.

The moment her sister took action, lightning flashed across the sky, and she could clearly see her sister's eyes.

There is no mercy, only disgust and disgust.

As if looking at garbage, she decided that her sister was the disaster that caused the failure of the operation.

Perhaps because her sister was certain to die, her disgust was undisguised.

Munina's mentality collapsed instantly.

My sister was too cruel.

An arrow aimed at her heart.

My sister killed not only her body, but also her soul.

Unfortunately, my sister didn't know that her heart had grown sideways since she was a child. This directly led to her being judged by the elders of the tribe as a good seedling with higher potential, but her growth rate was not as fast as her sister's.

After the age of ten, the training resources of the tribe are completely tilted towards the elder sister.

She often fantasizes about what would happen to her Yu Sheng if her heart had not grown sideways?

Don't think about it now.

Because she is dead.

She knew what kind of poisonous arrow her sister used. The arrowhead was coated with a poison specific to the Kraken's physique.

Seeing blood seals his throat and kills him with one blow.

She was a little curious. She heard that after death, people would be judged by the indifferent and just Holy Inquisitor, and then sent to endless purgatory and the land given by God.

The former must atone for his sins, and the latter can enjoy the peace given by God.

Is this an endless purgatory or a god-given place?
  If you don’t smell the terrible smell of sulfur, it shouldn’t be purgatory.

Munina felt a little relieved. She smelled the faint smell of blood and potion coming towards her face.

Although not thick, her nose is very sharp.

How could the God-given land smell like this?
  She struggled to stand up but had no strength at all. She wanted to shout but her throat hurt so much that she could only make a hoarse voice.

Hearing her whine, footsteps were heard.

Someone is coming, a young and beautiful girl.

Munina is very happy.

It seems that this is mostly a land given by God.

"you're awake?"

The beautiful female face gradually became clearer in Munina's sight, and she introduced herself softly.

"You can call me Nana."

Although she could only maintain a lying position, Munina could still clearly see the girl's face.

Somewhat human-like, but definitely not.

It is impossible for humans to have so many mechanical devices.

Got it, it must be a mechanical angel!

The legend mentioned by the clan elders flashed in Miss Siren's mind, and her whole body trembled with excitement.

"Sister Angel, my name is Munina."

The cyborg girl known as Sister Angel switched to a smiling expression and asked softly:
  "Miss Munina, this is the time of reckoning. All your actions in the human world will be weighed on the judgment scale, your sins and contributions will be judged, and your whereabouts will be decided."

"The Holy Inquisitor will come to see you tomorrow. Before that, I want to confirm whether you have any unfulfilled wishes in the world?"

Facing the gentle inquiry from "Mechanical Angel", Munina's eyes suddenly turned red.

"I have no regrets, I just want to kill one person!"

Nana thought calmly, it must be Governor Roland.

His father, who claimed to be a great alchemist, highly praised Governor Roland and called him a person who could change the situation in the world.

Although she didn't understand what her father was talking about, she chose to believe it.

Her impression of Roland was not good.

She possesses extremely high intelligence and rigorous logic, and her mind is only equivalent to that of an eleven or twelve year old. She instinctively feels that Governor Roland is very scary.

She knew what kind of trap Roland had set for the Siren.

Having helped her father refine special alchemical potions, she knew very well how vicious these potions were.

She was naturally a little afraid of Governor Roland who used this potion.

She had heard some things from her father, and she also knew what happened to Miss Munina.

Miss Siren's attempt to seduce and kill the sailor, at least an attempted murder, is not innocent.

She is guilty, but she is indeed pitiful.

Not only did he become the enemy of the devil Roland, he was also shot to death with a poisonous arrow by his own sister.

Without her father's intervention, she would have died.

Fortunately, my father is an excellent alchemist and an excellent doctor.

Her father said that she had also stepped into the underworld, but was rescued.

The father did not lie, because he rescued Miss Siren from certain death.

Not only Munina, but also another siren lady Munia.

Swallowing the hidden poison did not kill Ms. Munia, but only caused her to endure repeated torture of vomiting and gastric lavage.

The cyborg Nana looked at Munina curiously. Her father consumed the Arcanite-level puppet core and gave her super high IQ and logical judgment capabilities.

Despite her immature mind, she is quite smart.

After calmly judging Munina’s mentality, Nana smiled and said:

"Miss Munina, the trial between reckonings is fair, and it is also the last opportunity to reflect and face your past honestly. Remember, the sin of lying is not necessarily lower than other crimes."

Nana's beautiful appearance and cool temperament made Munina dare not have the slightest suspicion.

When she woke up, she did think about whether Nana was a despicable human being, but after seeing that half of Nana's body was a machine, she felt relieved.

But she would never have imagined that this liquidation room was an interrogation room specially prepared for her by Roland.

This is the operating room attached to Norton's laboratory. After being requisitioned by Roland, it was simply transformed according to his understanding of the religious trial.

Mainly psychological suggestion and intimidation.

First let Nana play the role of a mechanical angel to let Munina relax her guard, and then let her rest for a night.

Of course Roland would not be kind enough to let her recover.

This night she would hear soft but clear whines and prayers, causing her to have continuous hallucinations and strengthen her psychological suggestions.

Tomorrow, when Miss Munina is doubting her life, the Holy Inquisitor played by [Faceless Man] Alina will appear at the right time and start the trial.

Roland was very sure that Miss Munina couldn't bear it at all.

This is all by design.

Miss Siren has a very bad habit of talking in her sleep.

While she was in coma after the surgery, Norton used drugs to induce her to increase her sleep talking, revealing many secrets.

With Alina's ability, it was easy and enjoyable to take down the innocent Siren lady.

The trial of another Miss Siren was not so heartwarming.

Roland will speak for himself.

Start a solo concert for her.

Munia definitely knows more than Munina, and her strength is superior. She even masters the singing method of Chaos Movement, which is more valuable no matter how you look at it.

But Roland was not sure about conquering the Siren Princess.

Lightning is a good thing. It can not only light up the rainy night, but also expose people's hearts.

When Muniya raised her giant crossbow and shot at her sister, the lightning just happened to light up.

Roland saw her eyes. This is a vicious and unruly wild cat that can be exploited but extremely difficult to tame.

No one can resolve the hatred between her and her sister. Only one of them can live.

Another moment flashed through Roland's mind.

When all the guards at the camp gate were withdrawn, Munina came to the camp gate, but stopped at the camp gate.

That was the absolute red line set by Roland for Siren.

Whoever touches him dies.

If Munina crossed the red line last night, Roland would give up on her without hesitation and choose to tame his sister.

The elder sister is more difficult to tame and more valuable.

It makes sense that something of value requires more investment.

But Munina stopped.

Regardless of whether she was rational or simply cowardly, she abided by Roland's rules.

Roland likes obedient subordinates, but he does not exclude capable but rebellious subordinates.

Sister or sister?

This is a difficult question.

Roland did not rush to make a decision, but decided to see the results of the interrogation.

Now, the sister and the sister have the same score, 0 points.

The interrogations of Munia and Munina began at the same time.

Interrogator Roland and Holy Inquisitor Alina walked into the interrogation room at the same time.

Seeing Alina in a white robe and a mysterious mask, Munina's whole body trembled with excitement.

The Holy Inquisitor has arrived.

The endless purgatory is still a land given by God, and it will finally come to an end.

She had been hearing hallucinations last night and was almost driving her crazy.

"Are you the Holy Inquisitor?"

Munina was very weak, and the hideous wound on her chest would hurt if she touched it even slightly, but she still gritted her teeth and bowed to salute Alina.

Alina had no expression on her face, silently recording in her heart.

"The liquidated Munina Gram, welcome to the liquidation. As the Holy Inquisitor, I will announce the rules to you before the liquidation begins."

"First, you are not allowed to speak without permission, otherwise points will be deducted."

"I understand." Munina said respectfully.

"Munina, your current score is -1 point. Can you understand negative numbers? To put it simply, your current score is one point lower than zero."

Munina looked stunned, trembling with grievance, almost in tears, but did not dare to speak anymore.

Alina calmly announced and continued, asking calmly: "The liquidated Munina, do you think you should go to the land given by God or the endless purgatory?"

Munina was silent.

In the introduction to the rules just now, she had already roughly understood who the Holy Judge was.

Indifference.

She knew better that the next words would determine her future. She was nervous and did not dare to speak.

After a long time, she said slowly: "I don't know, my life is ridiculous and short, but I ask myself that I have never actively harmed anyone."

She said softly: "I once participated in the attack on the human fleet, but I only followed the order. This sin should be borne by the person who gave the order."

She carefully explained the process of attacking the fleet that day, with more details than what she confessed to Roland.

The Holy Inquisitor listened silently, as if listening to a trivial matter.

While listening to Munina's explanation, the Holy Inquisitor kept recording but said nothing.

After breaking the psychological barrier, Munina's words gradually became smoother.

Maybe it was the last time she spoke freely, and she spoke eloquently.

Including the fact that her heart length was abnormal, which caused her status in the tribe to plummet.

It also includes all the times she violated the interests of others.

Most of them are unintentional, and some are intentional.

She did not excuse her actions.

But she believed the Inquisitor would understand.

Survival often comes at the expense of other lives.

You have to eat to live.

Food that is eaten, whether animal or plant, is life.

If we deprive other living beings of their right to survive because of their own survival, there is no good or evil, it is just a natural phenomenon.

The same goes for infringing on other people's interests.

The survival and development of any life will more or less invade the interest space of other life.

She didn't think it was a sin as long as it was within a certain framework.

The Holy Inquisitor said nothing.

It wasn't until Munina's mouth went dry that the Holy Inquisitor slowly asked:
  "Last question, if you pay enough to send Muniya into endless purgatory, would you do it?"

"Yes, of course!"

Munina, who had been calm just now, suddenly became ferocious.

Anger made her cheeks bulge, and her inner cheeks were as red as blood.

"I'm talking about any price."

The Holy Inquisitor reminded slowly.

Munina gritted her teeth and said: "Of course I know, I don't care. Even if the cost is that I enter endless purgatory with her, I will do it."

"I understand. The questioning ends here. You can rest first."

The Holy Inquisitor packed up his things and left the room for reckoning.

Munina's whole body went limp.

She, who had just widened her eyes to express her feelings, now seemed to have been drained of all her strength, and she no longer even had the strength to cry.

She lay blankly, looking up at the dome painting, her eyes filled with confusion.

Unlike Alina who completed it quickly, Roland's interrogation did not go smoothly.

Munia quickly collapsed under his noise offensive and expressed that she wanted to confess, but during the interrogation she secretly played tricks on Roland.

What she says is always true and false, and misleading.

These skills did not escape Roland's eyes.

He was watching Munia carefully.

When people lie, they always make subtle body movements, which can be identified by careful observation.

Muniya's words are very difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Since it was difficult to tell, Roland didn't bother to tell.

Munia has more information than Munina, but the extra information is not enough to change Roland's decision.

Munina knew that the ethnic group was forced to migrate, and Munia knew more. She knew that there was a command from a certain marine general behind the ethnic group's migration, but she didn't know which general.

Munina knew that the group's attack on humans was instigated by others. Munina knew even more. She could even describe the general appearance of the messenger, but that was all.

Compared with this additional information, Roland spent a lot longer with her just to distinguish whether it was true or false.

Uninterrupted fatigue interrogation, occasional noise attacks, and repeated bombardment of questions finally broke through Muniya's stubborn psychological defense.

She had to confess to Roland.

After Roland announced that the interrogation was over, she glided in front of Roland, hugged Roland's legs and begged.

"I can do anything, please spare me, I'm really useful."

She tried to commit suicide twice, but after escaping from death, she cherished life very much.

Her identity, her beauty, her singing voice, she can offer them all.

As long as you are alive, you have a chance.

"Have you ever felt guilty when you killed your sister?"

Facing Roland's question, Munia's eyes were a little distracted. She murmured, and after a long time she said quietly:
  "That's my biological sister. The pain in my heart when I did it was no less than hers. You don't understand the feelings of sisters at all!"

Roland continued to ask: "The last question is, would you be willing to exchange your sister for going to the God-given land at the cost of going to endless purgatory?"

"I do!" Munia replied without hesitation.

Roland stood up and left the interrogation room without saying a word.

Sister or sister, he already has the answer.
