Game Days: Evolving from Bone Cancer

Chapter 8 Occupational Title: Executioner
Is it easy to kill?

Killing is not difficult, the difficulty is overcoming the guilt in my heart.

After all, human beings are not beasts. For most people... unless they are forced into a desperate situation, killing their own kind is like eating human flesh, and they have an instinctive rejection.

But if you want to become a real fighter, you must pass this level.

Xiao Ting stepped onto the high platform and stood behind the three condemned prisoners, holding the top of the saber handle with both hands, as if leaning on a sword.

Behind him, the beheading officer was pronouncing the crimes of the death row inmates.

"The criminal, Ax, aged sixteen, committed rape, arson, and homicide, and was sentenced to death for several crimes. Execute immediately!"

"kill him!"

"My lord, please execute this demon immediately!"

As soon as the supervisor's words fell, there was a haggard woman kneeling on the ground and wailing, looking at the first prisoner on the left, wanting to eat him alive.

Prisoner Ax was originally an introverted civilian boy in the City of the Sun.

After puberty, as the hormones in the body increase, the desire for the opposite sex becomes more and more.

Due to her introverted personality, poor communication skills, nowhere to vent her desires, and no one to educate her, it became more and more difficult to suppress her desires.

Until the night two months ago, when I saw the picture of the girl next door taking a shower through the crack of the door, the sperm got into my head for a moment, rushed in, knocked the girl out from behind, and raped her.

When leaving, he accidentally knocked over the oil lamp on the table, which soon caused a fire and set the house on fire.

Akers could have saved people, but in the end he hurried away because he was afraid that his crime would be exposed, so that the girl died in the fire.

According to the harsh laws of the Shurima Empire, ten deaths are enough.

Xiao Ting walked slowly behind the young man in prison uniform, his steel-covered combat boots made cold footsteps when they touched the ground, as if the god of death was approaching, the young man couldn't help but began to tremble all over.

"bass!"

The sword is unsheathed!

The blade was lifted up, hanging above the boy's head, Xiao Ting took a deep breath under the mask, and then sighed: "Are you repenting?"

"repent!"

"I repent!"

The young man seemed to have grasped the straw to save his life, kowtowed on the ground again and again, the skin on his forehead was broken in the blink of an eye, blood flowed down his cheeks, and he burst into tears.

"I really didn't kill her on purpose, please spare my life."

"I will definitely repent piously in the future and make up for my sins..."

A smell of urine suddenly spread, but it was the strong fear that frightened the young man into incontinence.

puff!
The sound of crying and begging stopped abruptly, replaced by the sound of cutting flesh and bones when the blade slashed across the neck.

The severed head was lifted up by a fountain of blood, and then rolled to the ground, his eyes were wide open, and his expression froze at the moment of extreme horror and unwillingness.

"Thank you sir!"

The woman in the audience was the mother of the murdered girl. Her enemy was beheaded for killing her daughter. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to express her gratitude.

Xiao Ting stood still, not knowing what he was thinking.

The bearded man didn't even blink his eyes, kicked the head away from his feet, and said calmly: "Go on."

Hearing this, Xiao Ting closed his eyes, then opened them suddenly.

Between closing and opening, it seemed to have experienced a complete transformation of mood.

When he walked towards the second death row prisoner, there was no hesitation in his eyes, only calmness remained.

No fluctuations, no emotionless calm.

The feeling of killing...

After breaking through that layer of psychological barriers, that's actually the case.

Once the first time is passed, there will be no big difference between the second time and the tenth time, the hundredth time, or even the thousandth or ten thousand times.

"Criminal Aurora, age 33, committed treason, inciting riots, massacring civilians, and sentenced to death for several crimes, executed immediately!"

The second prisoner is a female rebel from Icathia.

Half a year ago, he and a dozen other rebels sneaked into the City of the Sun from Icacia, launched a terrorist attack with rune bombs, tried to assassinate the top management of the empire, and caused civil strife in the empire.

As a result, the important figures of the empire were not killed, but the aftermath of the explosion killed more than 100 civilians nearby.

Most of the rebels were also captured on the spot by the Ascenders who arrived quickly, and this female rune master named Aurora was one of them.

"Do you repent?"

Xiao Ting asked while wiping off the blood of a prisoner on the blade with a rag.

"No repentance!"

With her head held high and her back straight, the female rebel shouted in a firm voice: "The Icathians will never repent, it is you despicable invaders who should repent, the flag of Icacia's freedom will be replanted sooner or later. The land full of bauhinia blossoms..."

puff!
The blade slashed, and a pale but still beautiful head left the neck and rolled directly to the high platform.

"it is good!"

"All rebels should be killed!"

"If you killed more than 100 people, you should cut them to death. Such a death is cheap for this traitor."

The applause this time was much louder than when the rapist was beheaded just now.

The people of the empire in the City of the Sun have long engraved their hatred and contempt for the rebels into their bones.

This time, Xiao Ting's expression changed, and the surprise in the depths of his eyes flashed away.

What caused his mood swings was not the killing or the reaction of the outside world, but the voice of the main brain that suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Reminder: When exploring the game world for the first time, explorer 081, on behalf of the faction, leapfrogged to kill the third-tier criminals, triggering the hidden professional task-execution officer!"

"Executioner: Eternal Kingdom hidden profession, must represent the faction that has joined the faction in the game world, step up and kill powerful enemies, and complete the professional task to activate, the current task progress is 30%..."

Professional title!

It is an important ability growth system for explorers in Eternal Heaven.

According to the mastermind's explanation, the Eternal Kingdom of Heaven is a complete organization. Since it is an organization, it naturally has different divisions of labor.

As for the executioner, the main duty in the Eternal Kingdom of Heaven is to deal with explorers who violate the mastermind's prohibition and the rules of the Kingdom of Heaven.

For example, if an explorer disclosed information related to the eternal kingdom to the natives in the game world, and caused serious consequences to be detected by the mastermind, he would be executed by beheading.

However, the mastermind is restricted by certain rules, and it is not easy to use the ability to directly obliterate explorers, so most of the time, it sends executioners to kill prohibited explorers.

The above is the obligation of the professional title, and its benefits are mainly reflected in two aspects.

First, the professional title is equivalent to equipment, attached attributes, and even skills.

However, the specific attributes of the executioner's title can only be known after completing the task.

Moreover, even with the same professional title, different explorers will have subtle differences after activation.

Second, explorers can choose a professional title to "wear" before coming to the game world.

In this way, after arriving, you will gain the favor of similar professionals in the game!

For example, if it is a teacher profession, after entering the game world, most of the teachers in the world will have a good impression of it.

In this way, it will be much smoother to inquire about news, trade, and make friends with the teacher.

It is equivalent to the mastermind's help, adding charm for certain groups of people!

"Beheading a Tier 30 rebel by leapfrogging provides [-]% of the quest progress, so..."

"At least two third-tier criminals and one second-tier criminal must be killed to achieve 100%!"

Thoughts were spinning in Xiao Ting's mind, and when he thought of this, he couldn't help but turn around and look at the last prisoner named Sawyer.

This is also a rebel from Icacia, and he is also an important figure in the rebel army. It is said that he is the son of a certain rebel leader.

"Do you repent?"

Xiao Ting came behind him and asked as usual.

Sawyer, who was forced to kneel on the ground, asked back: "You kill those who repent, and you also kill those who don't repent. Don't you think it's superfluous to ask?"

"That's because you misunderstood. I'm not asking, but I'm telling you... I'm going to die, that's all." Xiao Ting replied lightly.

While speaking, he wiped off the blood on the blade with a rag again.

Just like some executioners would spray wine on the knife edge before execution, the sense of ritual is the last respect for death row prisoners.

Sawyer laughed dumbfounded, and seemed to be more open-minded than the previous two condemned prisoners.

"I'm going to die anyway, can you tell me your name? I want to know who killed me, so I don't have any regrets."

"Xiao!"

Xiao Ting calmly raised his saber, but did not make a sound.

Instead, the bearded man spoke and answered for him.

"The chosen one, a student of His Excellency Nasus, a bachelor of the Sun Empire, a bachelor of the Sun Academy, and a knife-wielder of the Ascended Legion!"

puff!
The hand raised the knife and dropped, another head rolled down.

For the third murder, Xiao Ting has no psychological barriers at all.

But to his surprise, the mastermind's voice sounded again...
