perfect savior

Chapter 40 Is She Guilty?

Cheng Xueer and I... have we ever made such a promise?
Xia Jinyan was speechless, involuntarily recalling childhood events.

That's right... probably in the fifth grade of elementary school, I did sit under the tree with her, and Lagou promised not to bully each other in this life, but... that little childhood memory, it has been 12 years since now.

Xia Jinyan is a genius who can get the first prize in the big city. He has a strong logical reasoning ability and a very good memory. Normally, Zhou Tianzuo and Cheng Xueer's brains are definitely not as good as him.

But the young tester didn't expect that the girl still remembered the innocent promise that he had almost forgotten.

Even, she sticks to this promise until she dies.

Xia Jinyan turned his head away from Cheng Xueer's scorched body.

"Xia Jinyan! Xia Jinyan! Listen to me!"

At this moment, Zhou Tianzuo climbed up, and as soon as he reached the rooftop, he ran to Cheng Xueer's side and firmly protected her.

"Xia Jinyan, I admit that we killed people, but those people deserve to die!"

He threw a lot of ID cards on the ground and spoke very fast:

"Chu Pengyuan, 43 years old, from Lanping County, is suspected of child trafficking and is at large!"

"Liu Xigui, the case of molesting a woman in Dongjun City that occurred on May 2019, 5 has been determined to be a major suspect..."

"Luan Yanping, female, defrauded a large number of rural orphans and widows from their savings. The amount of crimes committed exceeds ten million yuan. She is on the run!"

"Sincerely, in order to maintain Xue'er's life, a total of eight corpses were buried in the concrete slab downstairs."

"But I promise, those people are damned!"

"This is their ID card, you can go and investigate, the arrest warrant is still there! There are still some corpses in the cement board, these are all evidence!"

"Kill the damned, what's wrong with us?"

On the rooftop, Zhou Tianzuo's voice became louder and louder, until finally he roared angrily and stared at Xia Jinyan in grief.

"But, we are not qualified to judge... Heh." Xia Jinyan's words stopped abruptly, and he did not continue.

——If Zhou Tianzuo and Cheng Xueer are not qualified to kill the damned, then what reason does he have to judge them?
After all, the young tester does not think that "only the law can judge a person."

He understands very well that the existence of the law is necessary, and only procedural justice and convicting people in accordance with the criminal law can achieve the greatest fairness.

But if a person kills a condemned prisoner, is he guilty?
According to the current law, it is probably guilty.

Wouldn't it be a good deed to kill the fugitive criminal and prevent his possible crimes in the future?

Xia Jinyan has always had a "rebellious" thought in his heart:

The law can judge people because they hold guns in their hands.

In the final analysis, it is strength that brings the power to judge.

Xia Jinyan stroked the ring and said calmly:

"Cheng Xueer is dead, this is an established fact."

"It is the insect toxins that drive this body. They activate the dead body and live in the depths of this body. While releasing toxins to maintain Cheng Xueer's activities, they yearn for the human spirit."

"As long as the queen is alive, you will keep killing people."

"Can you guarantee that everyone who is killed in the future deserves to die?"

"Besides, the empress will be born after all, what should you do at that time?"

Cheng Xueer coughed weakly, perhaps because she had died a long time ago. Her current body is more like a "toy that can be transformed at will". Under the catalysis of borer toxin, her skin has begun to heal slowly, and large pieces of flesh and blood are constantly forming. Cracking and reorganizing made her in severe pain every minute and every second.

"Maybe." Cheng Xueer grinned, her smile still bright:
"Maybe I will become an evil boss in the future, hehe..."

"In this case, prevent problems before they happen, and I must deal with you here." Xia Jinyan's ring glowed dimly again:

"In order to avoid future chaos, the queen must die, and you can also get...rest in peace."

"Be careful." Zhou Tianzuo hugged Cheng Xue'er firmly in his arms, not caring about the dirty blood at all:
"Her resurrection was not her intention. In order to survive, Xue'er only killed the damned. Even if there will be changes in the future, at least for now, she is innocent."

"What stupid things to say about innocence and not innocence... Don't you understand the principle of letting the tiger go back to the mountain? Many people will die when the queen is born."

"Just to be honest, you didn't refute my words. You also think that she is innocent now, right?"

"... For the sake of the people in the future, killing her is the best choice. No matter who it is, they must die."

Zhou Tianzuo was silent, and said bitterly:

"Is Cheng Xueer and I... also in the category of [no matter who]?"

"..."

"I'd like to say that I killed someone too, and I'm an accomplice. That fraudster named Luan Yanping was discovered by me and tricked into my home."

"I know, I can guess it, but it doesn't matter, this is doing a good deed, now, Tian Zuo, let Cheng Xueer go, I'm going to do it."

"Hey... are you convincing yourself to only kill Xueer and let me go...but it's useless, I will die with Xueer, and after she dies, I will commit suicide." Zhou Tianzuo stroked the girl's hair and smiled warmth:

"She's already left me once, and I can't let her go alone again."

"Xue'er is very afraid of the dark."

Zhou Tianzuo's actions were useless and hysterical, and his demeanor was the same as usual, but Xia Jinyan knew that this guy would definitely do what he said.

The best friends who grew up together are equally stubborn people.

The young tester sighed, not knowing what to do.

In the public, the queen borer is a potential danger and must be eradicated.

In private, this is a personal trial, and the task is completed only after killing the locust, and then you can join the temple and become an apprentice.

But no matter what happens in the future, at least Cheng Xueer is innocent now.

And after all, they are his only friends.

"I will watch you." Xia Jinyan turned his head and walked downstairs, his back was tall and straight, like a proud pine and cypress:

"Go to West Vancouver and live there incognito as you wish, but remember, I'll watch over you until you die."

"My promise not to be a killer is only based on the premise that you are innocent."

Zhou Tianzuo was shocked:
"Be careful!"

"There's no need to say any more." Xia Jinyan didn't look back, but just waved his hands:

"Newly married...happy."

On the rooftop, a couple hugged each other and wept.

……

Xia Jinyan walked for a long time, aimlessly, at varying speeds.

Finally, when he came back to his senses, he had already arrived at the school where he was in high school.

"what……"

He couldn't help laughing, climbed over the wall skillfully, and ran quietly to the corner of the playground.

Just like a few years ago, the lush poplar tree still stands here.

The tester sat under the tree, closed his eyes, smelled the fragrance of flowers, and let the breeze brush his nose.

Sitting here with me, talking about the future and dreams, the two people will never see each other again for the rest of their lives.

After all, I didn't...complete the cleanup.

He took off the ring and threw it into the river outside the school.

With a bang, the ring sank into the water and disappeared.

In the quiet afternoon, the voice of the young teacher was melancholy and lonely.

"Sorry, I'm not qualified to wear you."
