Chapter 661 This is the court of trial!


    Duanmu Huai looked at the man in front of him. The latter was haggard, pale and thin, and looked like he was frowning. Seeing this, Duanmu Huai snorted coldly and spoke.


    "It seems that the problem in Rock Town is not just as simple as the dead baby."


    “…………”


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s words, the mayor''s body trembled, but before he could speak, Duanmuhuai had already looked at the two people on his shoulders.


    "Ojisi, Jiawei."


    "exist."


    "What''s up?"


    "From now on, I want you to block all entrances and exits in the town. Anyone who tries to leave, no matter what reason, will be killed. Until the investigation of the court is over, no one is allowed to leave!"


    "OK."


    "clear."


    As soon as he finished speaking, the two girls flashed and disappeared immediately. When Duanmu Huai''s orders were heard, the mayor was also surprised and looked at Duanmu Huai in surprise.


    “Wait, this…”


    "I''ll say it again, this is the job of the court."


    Duanmuhuai coldly interrupted the mayor''s protest.


    "We are not philanthropists who are as pitiful as the Paladins of Tyr or Thom. For the Inquisition, any signs related to chaos need to be thoroughly investigated. Okay, now, are you going to report the situation to us immediately, or stand here and wait for death?"


    “Wow……”


    Hearing Duanmu Huai''s murderous intent, An stuck out his tongue and poked Marie and Gureya.


    "Mr. Knight is so fierce..."


    "Well, it''s rare to see he is so fierce to others..."


    Mary also nodded. In her world, Duanmu Huai rarely talked to others in this unquestionable tone. Even An and Gureya rarely saw Duanmu Huai put such pressure on the first time people. It was simply a naked threat, and there was no room for maneuver.


    But in fact, this is the daily routine of the judge. Especially after confirming that there are signs of chaos invasion here, Duanmu Huai directly entered the role of the judge. If necessary, he would even completely destroy the entire town to prevent the chaos from spreading. In comparison, what happened to speak louder? Doesn’t this mean that he has a full meal?


    “Okay, OK…”


    The mayor has never seen such a terrifying threat, let alone Duanmu Huai standing in front of him is more than twice as tall as him. With his black power armor with a skull, the deterrent power is even more powerful. He was even more extreme with those polite Paladins. At this moment, he was so scared that he trembled all over and hurriedly nodded vigorously.


    "I, I understand, I tell you, I tell you all... Actually, many people have died in the town..."


    "oh?"


    Under the stuttering mayor''s account, Duanmuhuai also understood the current situation in Locke Town.


    At the beginning, Rock Town did give birth to many dead babies, and some people had asked for help from the temple and the church, but none of them were useful. Just like the lady who went to seek help from the Temple of Tel, they were unable to give birth to healthy children in the end.


    But the situation has not changed yet, and it has even worsened. Soon someone was found dead at home. Those who died were the women who had miscarriages and their families. The scene was terrible, and almost everyone was dismantled, as if they were attacked by some beast.


    It is precisely because of this that Rock Town has completely blocked and no one is allowed to enter. Now the town is in panic. Some people claim to be the cause of the demons, and some people think that it is probably done by some hostile forces in Rock Town. However, they are just a mineral town, not to mention that there are almost not many mineral deposits at the moment.


    "Are attacked, killed, and all families who have miscarriages before?"


    Duanmuhuai frowned and thought for a moment.


    "Are there any pregnant women in the town now?"


    "Yes, there is another one... but she has given up hope and is just waiting for the judgment of fate."


    "Okay, I get it."


    Duanmuhuai nodded and looked at the others.


    "Mary, Gureya, go talk to that lady - especially Mary, and look carefully to see if there is any gain."


    "I see."


    Although Duanmu Huai didn''t say it very clearly, Mary knew what he meant, so she nodded, left with Gureya, and led a guard to a nearby path.


    "As for you..."


    After giving the order, Duanmu Huai turned to the mayor.


    "Take us to see the body."


    "OK."


    Under the leadership of the mayor and several guards, the group continued to move forward. Soon, they crossed the main road and came to the square in the center of the town. As the mayor said, the whole town looked deserted, and most people locked themselves at home, just looking at these strangers who suddenly appeared through the windows.


    However, there are also some people who do not stay at home. When he walked to the town square, Duanmuhuai saw several town residents surrounding an old man. The latter was dressed in rags and had a thin complexion, but was full of crazy excitement.


    "I tell you! This is the ending day! We are finished! Human beings are finished!"


    "Who is that old man?"


    Duanmu Huai coldly glanced at the old man yelling among the crowd and asked, while the mayor sighed helplessly.


    "His name is Hall, he is an old farmer, but since this happened, he has claimed that he has the ability to foresee and see the future and something... and then he says these nonsense in the town every day."


    "oh……"


    Duanmu Huai snorted lightly and then walked over. At this moment, the old man did not notice Duanmu Huai''s approaching and was still howling at the people in front of him.


    "The eighth disappears on the third night, death comes from the darkness, and all pagans will rot on the earth! This is a prophecy! A sign of a new **** coming to the earth! For pagans, he is like a dark giant with a fire and bloodthirsty eyes, but to those who believe in him, he is like a kind shepherd, protecting his followers!"


    "I, I don''t want to die! I am willing to follow this new god. What is his name?"


    "I don''t know either!"


    The old man shook his head.


    “But follow me and do what I say, and God will see your kindness!”


    "I''m done!"


    At this time, a farmer roared and interrupted the old man''s words.


    "I''ve had enough of your nonsense! I don''t want to listen to your stupid words!"


    "Then the curse will come to you! You will die within a few weeks, which is what the new God told me! Only a few people will be trusted and saved! The rest will die in the darkness! Just like everyone else! He is here! He is coming!"


    "Oh? Is that?"


    At this moment, Duanmu Huai had already walked behind the old man and said with a sneer.


    "So, what else did that new **** say to you?"


    "He is here to purify evil! Follow him..."


    Hearing Duanmuhuai''s inquiry, the old man thought it was another listener asking. He turned his head with a fanatical smile - and then the moment he saw Duanmuhuai, he was stunned. However, before the old man could react, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and grabbed him tightly. He stared at the old man in front of him, his eyes emitting scarlet light.


    "The lowly heresy, who allowed you to talk nonsense here?"


    "No, no, let me go!"


    The old man struggled desperately, trying to break free from Duanmuhuai''s hands, but it was useless.


    "No matter who you are, you can''t stop me! Keep intimidating me! Whether you push me down, oppress me, kick me, or hit me, I will stand up again, and announce the arrival of the new God more firmly than before! When your souls are in danger, I will try to tell everyone the truth! I tell you that the new God will keep me safe! You are helpless against me——!"


    However, the old man did not finish his words, because at the next moment, Duanmuhuai''s hand was like twisting a bottle cap, and easily turned the old man''s head by 180 degrees, turning him into a corpse. Then Duanmuhuai threw it directly on the ground. Seeing this scene, the people who were originally surrounded here suddenly screamed, and many people were even scared and turned around and ran away.


    In the blink of an eye, the onlookers around ran away completely.


    "Mayor."


    Duanmu Huai didn''t care at all about the fearful gazes that everyone next to him cast at him. He turned his head and stared at the mayor who was also standing next to him, as if he hadn''t recovered yet.


    "I want everyone to see the body of this heretic. This is the end of promoting heresy!"


    "Ah, yes, okay... I get it."


    At this moment, the mayor seemed to be completely frightened by the murderous aura emitted by Duanmu Huai. He nodded quickly and then made a gesture to the guards. The two guards immediately came over and quietly carried the old man''s body away.


    "Okay, keep moving forward."


    No one spoke, the mayor led the way silently, Duanmu Huai and An walked behind. At this time, An finally couldn''t help but poked Duanmu Huai''s body gently.


    "Mr. Knight, Mr. Knight?"


    "Um?"


    "Why did you kill that old man? In my opinion, he is just a nonsense guy."


    "It may also be a potential believer of the evil **** of Chaos."


    Duanmu Huai didn''t care about An''s inquiry.


    "If he is really a believer of the evil **** of Chaos, letting him go may cause millions of people to die in the future, so I will kill him."


    "But...what if he is not?"


    “That’s not.”


    "Why?"


    Hearing Duanmu Huai''s disrespectful answer, An was stunned, while Duanmu Huai turned his head and stared at An.


    "The Court of Justice is not a messenger of justice. Do you still remember that the purpose of the Court of Justice is to protect humanity at all costs, and this represents at all costs..."


    Speaking here, Duanmu Huai lowered his voice.


    "Even if you kill a hundred people by mistake, you will never let one go, because once this one is negligent, it will lead to the death of thousands of people in the future. Don''t pity them and ignore their innocent crying - a hundred innocent people die at the hands of the Inquisition is better than a person kneeling in front of the Chaos Demon."


    "But this... won''t people be afraid?"


    "It doesn''t matter. The Inquisition is not a messenger of justice, nor a hero. We will not be loved, respected, worshipped, and only disgust, fear and curses are faced with us. But it doesn''t matter, because we are just doing the work we should do, resisting chaos and protecting humanity is our duty, it''s that simple."


    Duanmuhuai shrugged, then raised his head again, while An sighed.


    “This road is really hard to walk.”


    "Of course, so goals are very important. When you have clear goals, the rest is not important."


    As they spoke, the group had already arrived at the cemetery. Even through the rusty iron fence, they could still see rows of newly dug graves inside.


    "Okay, don''t think about those boring things."


    Duanmuhuai touched An''s head.


    “It’s time for us to start working too.”
