Chapter 1066 Punishment
The church was silent late at night, and only the sound of cold footsteps echoed.
Duanmu Huai walked in front, Aisia followed behind, lowered her head and said nothing.
"What do you think is the punishment?"
At this moment, Duanmu Huai suddenly spoke, which made Aisia stunned.
"In many religions, people always like to punish themselves by punishment. So, what is the meaning? Prove the piety of their faith through pain? Or punish the wavering of their faith?"
Duanmuhuai couldn''t help but sneer at this point.
"But in the final analysis, these are just superficial work."
“………?”
"To put it bluntly, it is just an equivalent exchange, which exchanges for the calming of inner guilt through physical pain. Therefore, although many times, believers seem to like to use this method to punish their weakness and wavering, in the final analysis, this is just a transaction. They give their bodies and feel pain, thereby calming their guilt..."
Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai glanced at Aisia coldly.
“Isn’t it?”
"I………"
Aisia lowered her head and dared not speak.
Looking at Aisia''s guilty look, Duanmu Huai withdrew her gaze. The Inquisition and the players have their own unique views on how to punish such things. Most people think that the so-called punishment is a whip on a tiger bench, and it is a punishment.
This is what ordinary people think, but for the judge... are you serious?
You think so seriously?
Are you kidding?
Why?
The reason is very simple. As Duanmu Huai said, this is like an equivalent exchange for the punished. They have given physical pain and gained spiritual tranquility.
However, is this considered an equivalent exchange?
Players once complained that in many European and American movies of perverted murder, those murderers all went to the church to confess after killing people, as if I was seriously guilty and I was so sinful that I was so sinful that I was so sinful that I was so unbearable. Then, after I finished confessing, I felt refreshed and went to find the next victim.
Because in this kind of faith culture, only God can condemn me. As long as I repent and God forgives me, the rest will be nothing.
law?
What''s the law doing? I am religious!
Duanmuhuai remembers that he once read a post about the relationship between the high crime rate in Europe and the United States and religious beliefs. This is the reason why European and American criminals do not feel guilty. From the medieval indulgences to the current charitable actions, the essence is the same. I did bad things and then I confessed to God in various ways, which is considered a complete chapter. Even if I kill someone and set fire to your whole family, then the gods will forgive me and I will continue to live with peace of mind.
Think about it, a indulgence can offset the guilt of killing people and setting fires. How cheap.
Of course, in the game, there are simpler and more direct reasons for the court not to pay attention to punishment.
Because according to this logic, these criminals are physically suffering, but their souls are liberated. Then you get addicted to it. The more you make others beat the skin and flesh and blood and can’t take care of yourself, the more you feel happy in the depths of your soul, and then you are the one who is obsessed with you, little brother! We just like you who are uncommon! Congratulations on finally realizing the true meaning of happiness!
That''s right, you''ll become a cult after you twitch.
So the trial court usually executes directly, which is simple, convenient and fast, and there are not so many things, right?
This is also the reason why the judge drew his gun whenever he had a disagreement. He wanted to repent, right? I sent you to see the emperor, so you can just confess to him.
Our court is very busy and has no time to care about your mental problems.
But Duanmu Huai wanted to give it a try this time, because the reason was very simple - he had the magical skill of [Quality Judgment].
Of course, the general [Quality Determination] mainly focuses on observing the other party’s sensitive parts and then making the other party feel comfortable. But this time Duanmu Huai planned to do the opposite - the so-called punishment is to make the other party feel pain from the body to the soul.
So what about Aisia?
She initially insisted on her kindness, so she saved the demon, but later she learned that it was the other party who planned to plot against her. Then she naturally suffered a lot. After all, in order to uphold her kindness, Aisia was even expelled from the church even though she was willing to violate the doctrine. Then the only thing that supports her is her persistence in being kind to herself.
As a result, Diodora also shattered the final persistence. It was obvious that her self-righteous kindness was just a tool used by the other party. So Aisia had completely lost the belief and spirit she had insisted on, which made her spend every day in suffering and pain. In the end, because she could not bear this pain, she took the initiative to look for Duanmu Huai and asked for his punishment.
But in the final analysis, it was because she could not bear the inner torture and wanted to escape this pain.
Of course, Duanmu Huai couldn''t make her get what she wanted. As I said before, what''s the use of you to make her **** her? It was because I was beaten to Aisia and could not take care of herself. This pain would become her spiritual food. Is this a punishment? This is obviously a reward, okay!
What if Aisia becomes addicted to being scammed in the future and takes the initiative to cause trouble?
Just like the joke, the hunter went to hunt a bear for the first time and was defeated by the bear, and then XX. Then go again the second time, lose again, then the third time, the fourth time - in the end the bear couldn''t stand it anymore, saying that you were here to hunt or sell X?
If it is Acia, that is not a joke.
So Duanmu Huai will never do what she wished, but fortunately, he has his own way.
Duanmuhuai stopped. At this moment, they had arrived at the deepest part of the church, which was the same as the style of the Inquisition. In the dark, dark, and depressing environment, the glory of the candle illuminated the surroundings. From time to time, the servo skulls flew around against candles, and when they saw these skulls, Aisia also bit her lips and her body was tight.
"I''ll give you another last chance."
Duanmu Huai looked at Aisia. "I want to tell you that the punishment I want to give you is certainly not the kind you imagined. Don''t expect to gain soul peace through physical pain. The sins you commit are worthy of suffering from torment from your body to your soul. There is no trace of peace, no trace of peace, only despair and fear that you cannot imagine. Even so, are you willing?"
“………………”
Hearing Duanmuhuai''s inquiry, Aisia hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
Seeing Aisia''s reaction, Duanmu Huai sneered.
"I really don''t cry until I see the coffin. I have warned you that stupid religious believers really don''t repent. Then don''t blame me for being rude, go up."
As he spoke, Duanmu Huai raised his chin in front of him. Aisia clenched her fists and put them in her chest and prayed silently, as if she wanted to gain courage from her faith. Then, she took a deep breath, slowly walked onto the platform in front of her, and stood there motionless.
Looking at Aisia in front of him, Duanmu Huai snapped his fingers. The next moment, the shadows around her began to move constantly. Under the dim candlelight, countless tentacles condensed from shadows emerged from the darkness, and then suddenly stretched out, wrapping them around Aisia''s wrist on her chest. Before she could react, she suddenly pulled her up and directly lifted the girl in front of her into the air.
At the same time, the same tentacles appeared from below, wrapping around the girl''s legs, spreading her whole body like a "big" font.
“Huh…huh……”
At this moment, Aisia was extremely nervous, but she still closed her eyes and gritted her teeth without saying a word. But the girl could feel that the tentacles wrapped around her hands and feet were as cold as thousands of years of ice. Their coldness penetrated the girl''s body, and gradually spread throughout her body along her bones and the surging blood. Gradually, Aisia only felt that her soul seemed to be completely frozen, and only endless pain came from all directions.
And she was now like she was in the boundless deep sea, and she seemed to be in the endless sky. The darkness completely blinded her vision. Even if she opened her eyes now, she could only see the boundless darkness, as if everything had been swallowed and destroyed, and there was nothing else except herself...
"Pan!!"
Suddenly, a severe stinging sensation came from the back, which made the girl scream. The pain, as if it was a whip, penetrated almost every nerve ending in the girl''s body. If it were normal, Acia would have fainted due to irresistible pain. But at the moment, the cold and biting coldness locked the girl''s spirit like a shackle, making her unable to escape to the unconscious shore through coma.
"Ba!Ba!!"
All the cold whip sounded, and finally, Aisia could no longer bear it and screamed in pain. Her voice became louder and louder, but even so, the girl was still insisting in her heart - this was the punishment she deserved, and this was the punishment she deserved! This kind of pain, this kind of inescapable pain...!
“Bang!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
However, it seemed as if even screaming was a luxury. At the moment when the girl opened her mouth and screamed, suddenly, a thick tentacle was stuffed directly into the girl''s mouth and penetrated directly into her stomach. The girl could even feel that the tentacle seemed to pass through her stomach and directly wrap around her heart.
“Woo——————————”
However, this was not over yet. The thick, slippery, cold tentacle gradually began to melt, and tiny tentacles appeared on its surface, spreading along Acia''s cheeks and mouth in all directions. It was as if she wanted to completely integrate her whole body. The tiny tentacles penetrated into Acia''s nostrils, ears and eyes, and continued to extend forward and penetrated directly into her brain.
Then………
“————!”
Aisia suddenly opened her eyes, and the scenery in front of her suddenly changed. She saw herself standing in a room, on the crib in front of her, a white and tender cute baby was sleeping soundly.
What a cute child...
Seeing this child, Aisia''s heart relaxed a little. But the next moment, she found that her body was completely out of control and walked to the crib, then raised her hands high.
“In the name of the court!”
Almost unlike the sound she made echoed in Aisia''s ears, the next moment, she held the short sword in her hand tightly and stabbed the baby in front of her!
No----!
At this moment, Aisia burst into an unimaginable pain deep in her heart. She could tolerate herself suffering any pain, but she never thought about going over and hurting others! I don''t want to hurt others! Not to mention that the one who is in front of me is just a cute baby! If it were Acea who was on weekdays, I would probably have too much time to pity her.
But now, no matter how much her spirit resisted, her body waved the short sword without hesitation, pierced the baby''s body, and completely nailed it to the bed. Looking at the gushing blood, Aisia tried hard to struggle, but she could not do anything.
"No, what are you doing!"
At this moment, a sad voice suddenly came from behind Aisia. He turned his head and saw a couple staring at her sadly.
"My child, what did you do to my child!"
No, it’s not me, I don’t want to do this kind of thing-!
However, her body did not listen to Aisia''s wailing and screaming at all. She could only watch herself pulling out the short sword, then slit the mother''s throat, staring at her wide eyes, and open her mouth and fall helplessly. The next moment, the short sword in her hand pierced into the chest of her father next to her again.
No, this is not what I did! I don''t want it! !
At this moment, Aisia finally realized what Duanmu Huai just said, what he meant.
