Enforcer's Handbook

Song Lan understood one thing during this massive trial.

The third neutral country is not a country ruled by law.

Because he learned the reason why Father Delari was executed from the angry curses of the believers and Night Heron's explanation.

Deceiving the public with monstrous words - this is the crime that the Inquisition sentenced him to.

Song Lan, who has a strong sense of law, didn't know what the crime was, and why it was serious enough to directly sentence a person to death. The noise echoing in his ears actually gave him the illusion that he had returned to the classical era.

Because in the trial court thousands of years ago, the judges also sentenced a person to death according to the opinions of the majority.

Not long after, Song Lan heard the content of Father Delali's "devil words". His eyes did not stay on Iger for even one second. He did not beg for mercy. His eyes flickered either with attachment to life or to him. The fear of death, but a strong emotion that is almost urgent.

"Now is a critical period for the church's survival. Only by eliminating mutual suspicion can we help us get out of the difficulties... This disaster may be a test given to us by God the Father. Look around you and think carefully. What has supported us to this day? Is it because we rely on mutual suspicion and weapons against each other?"

When Iger stretched the torch in his hand to the wooden stake and lit the straw, Delari still looked at the crowd in the square with his fiery eyes, hoping to help them free themselves from this blind and fanatical trend of thought.

And this is exactly why he was tried.

Father Delari firmly believes that the out-of-control "mine" is a conspiracy of the Barossa Group. Because of this, they need to stop being suspicious of each other, trust each other, and work together to overcome this difficulty.

He has witnessed the birth and prosperity of the Lunar Eclipse Sect, and has also witnessed the turbulent period experienced behind this prosperity. Therefore, no one understands better than him that internal strife will only lead them to decline and destruction.

However, the trial court gave another explanation.

They claimed that only apostate spies would be vague on this matter, trying to cover up the crimes they committed under the guise of righteousness. Under the collision of the two concepts, the Inquisition gradually gained the upper hand, and they By burning traitors to death, he successfully awakened the deepest fanaticism hidden in the hearts of every believer.

At the same time, their iron-blooded methods also made those neutrals who were waiting and watching understand how terrifying the traitor trial was, urging them to become one of the judges as much as possible before they became targets of purging.

The fire engulfed Father Delali, but his screams still penetrated the flames and black smoke and reached the ears of the believers in the square.

This scene made Ye Heron couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands.

Some indescribable emotions emerged in her heart. For the apostates, they should show the most cruel and bloodthirsty side, but looking at the blazing flames on the execution platform, what was evoked in her mind was herself and Father Delari stayed in a quiet cubicle in the library, listening to the other person telling anecdotes about what had happened to the Eclipse Cult in the past few decades.

The fanatical shouts of the believers seemed to be filtered by an invisible force, which gave her a brief moment of tranquility in her heart while she was in the square.

For Song Lan, who had nothing to do with this trial, what was happening in front of him reminded him of the period of witch trials in human history. Today, he was fortunate enough to see history repeat itself.

History has proven countless times that when rationality and irrational fanaticism conflict, the latter always has the upper hand.

He moved his eyes away from the execution platform and looked at the crowd of people who were either praising or angrily cursing.

Even the few believers who were touched by Father Delari's cry just chose to remain silent and hide themselves among the crowd.

Egg admired his masterpiece with satisfaction.

In these most chaotic and turbulent days, the power of the Inquisition rose to its peak step by step.

All the opponents were personally sent to the execution platform and burnt to charcoal with a fire.

Maybe their souls will really be able to return to the embrace of God the Father after death, but at least the wails of those lost souls will never return to this world.

The only thing that dissatisfied him in this trial was that Delary's vitality was too tenacious. He thought that the old man with half a foot in the coffin would be engulfed in flames like the others. He was speechless, but after such a long time, Delali's chattering voice still reached his ears from the flames and black smoke, and it showed no sign of weakening.

Immediately afterwards, Egger noticed something unusual.

Suddenly the wind started blowing on the execution platform.

The flames surrounding Delali began to sway in the wind, and Egg saw that the other party's eyes were still bright and hot.

"Let the fire burn brighter!"

He started to get irritated.

After taking control of the entire Inquisition, Egger could no longer tolerate any opposition.

The judges immediately brought more straw, but just when they wanted to make the fire burn brighter, a dark thunder streaked across the sky.

All the eyes in the square were attracted by this sudden vision, which made them forget the ongoing execution and looked up into the clouds.

Black clouds enveloped the world at some point, and the entire sky was split in half by lightning.

Immediately afterwards, the believers were horrified to discover that there seemed to be a reflected world on the other side of the clouds. It was so full of disorder and chaos that even from a distance, the emotions of silence and death occupied them. heart.

It rained heavily.

This heavy rain not only extinguished the flames burning on the execution platform in an instant, but also extinguished the fanaticism in the hearts of every believer. All human voices were taken away by this rain, even the illness of Father Delary. Hu Ye stopped under the baptism of rain.

A cold feeling touched the skin, and a sense of unreasonable panic enveloped everyone.

This is no ordinary rain. In front of it, it seems that all the secrets and sins hidden in their hearts are invisible.

After an unknown amount of time, the first believer finally woke up from a dream.

He chased the intuition from the heart and prostrated in the rainstorm that was washing their souls. His actions took the lead. In the blink of an eye, the prostrate believers became one, and they The noise created merged with the sound of wind and rain.

Lu Xiang's gaze crossed the pouring rain and rested on Song Lan.

"The only thing that can defeat fanaticism is fanaticism itself."

She didn't know if she was hallucinating. It sounded like wind or someone's whisper.

But this time, Song Lan did not nervously put his hands into his pockets and pretend to scream like he did in the small town.

The question that had been lingering in Lu Xiang's mind since the small town of Kansarel appeared again.

No matter how powerful a psychic is, he can only have one ability.

She couldn't figure out how Song Lan created this typhoon and heavy rain.

The next moment, their eyes collided.

Song Lan seemed to see through the doubts in Lu Xiang's heart.

"Do not be afraid."

She heard Song Lan's voice, "This is the tide of the sea of ​​souls."

Seventy-seven of the small theater:

It’s Monday, a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, at noon.

February is one of the coldest seasons for the coalition government. According to annual report statistics, people's work efficiency will decrease by 10%-15% in these months. This year's February is extremely cold, so cold that there are already Many people wonder if there is something wrong with the city's temperature control system.

Workers who are not accustomed to the cold climate are not efficient at all during the day, and almost every department is discussing the topic of keeping warm.

Against this background, something happened that left Lu Xiang stunned.

Song Lan was kicked out of their department's office.

His subordinates were filled with indignation and hoped that he would not appear in everyone's sight today.

The sun is really shining in the west. Song Lan has always been known as a kind and friendly person in the department, not to mention keeping warm is one of his favorite topics. His subordinates should be very willing to listen to his suggestions.

"Is this a new fishing method?"

Lu Xiang stared at Song Lan who was forced to run to her office to "escape" and asked doubtfully.

"of course not."

Song Lan vowed that he dared to guarantee it with his own personality.

"Then why did they kick you out?"

"Because this morning one of them asked me what I could do to help keep warm at home. At that time, I was watching TV... learning the advanced ideas of the rescuers and didn't pay attention."

"You ignored your subordinates' requests and made them angry because you fished?"

"No."

Song Lan shook her head, "I'm so dumb."

"What does it mean to talk nonsense?"

"I answered 'Minister Lu'."
