The rope bound his hands and feet tightly, like a wild boar waiting to be slaughtered, and his clothes were soaked in sticky blood.Some of the blood had dried and turned into dark black scabs.

Next to him were two men holding him tightly.

Surrounded by crowds of people, men, women, young and old, there was a din of voices, and everyone was spitting out curse words.

Anger gathered in the crowd.

"kill him!"

"kill him!"

In the crowd, shouts erupted, and the cursing stopped temporarily, turning into a thought that condensed everyone.

A man who kills his wife and children, and kills his neighbors with an axe.

Of course be damned.

almost... need no reason...

There is even no need to investigate and collect evidence, and there is no need for too many trials. This is a certainty.

Many people saw him hacking his neighbors to death.

"Judge Giselle is here!"

shouted one.

The originally noisy crowd gradually quieted down, and everyone's eyes turned to Judge Giselle.

There was more respect in the angry eyes.

Gisele was a respected judge, and now, a poor mother who lost her child.

"There is no regret in this man's eyes..."

Lux looked at the man on the livestock table, "Could it be... some mental problem?"

Lux subconsciously moved a little closer to Ahri.

She was a little scared.

This kind of execution scene is actually not unfamiliar to Lacus. When she was a child, she went to the execution site with her brother because of curiosity.The sharp sword slashed at the prisoner's neck, and his head rolled to the ground.

That's it.

What Lux was afraid of was this man's strange killing behavior—"What caused a man to kill his wife and young child on the bed with his own hands in the dark?"

"Aldo Dayan!"

Judge Giselle walked up to the prisoner and read his name, "You killed five people in total, including your wife, son, and three neighbors. Do you admit the crime you committed?"

The crowd quieted down and waited with bated breath. Everyone hoped that there would be a happy ending.

Ari and Wayne just watched quietly.

They will not follow these residents to seek justice, let alone cry out with them.

After all, they are just outsiders.

"No...no..." The prisoner's body was firmly pressed on the slaughter table, and it was a little difficult to speak.

"Don't press him down, let him talk."

Judge Giselle said.

"No!"

The prisoner's voice suddenly became louder, like a beast roaring, "I didn't kill them. You won't understand, they are no longer human, and their bodies are full of darkness."

"Have you hacked your neighbor to death with an axe?"

asked Judge Giselle.

"Say!"

shouted one.

"Say it!"

"I saw his crimes when he killed with my own eyes, my lord, don't listen to his sophistry."

People pressed on the prisoner step by step.

"Aldo Dayan! All you have to say is yes! Or no!"

Judge Giselle said.

"Yes...but..."

Aldo wanted to explain, but the moment he looked up, he saw a flash of anger in Judge Giselle's eyes.This discovery caused an extremely strong panic in Aldo's heart.

He doesn't want to die yet...he has things to do...

"Aldo Dayan!"

Judge Giselle's voice was high-pitched, sounding a little excited, "You murder has become a fact! There is no need to quibble. I now sentence you to death!"

Ari stood aside, a little helpless.

this trial.

It's a little too simple.

There was no investigation, nothing to say, and no time for the prisoner to explain himself.Just sent him to prison.

And Judge Giselle was clearly emotional.

She was very excited herself.

Probably, she regarded this prisoner as someone who was manipulated by black magic to take his son away.

But Ahri can't say anything, Judge Giselle is in charge of the justice and trial of Forsbarrow.

Here, she is the absolute authority.

"Yes, the death penalty!!!"

"Judge Giselle is wise!"

"Execute quickly... This kind of person should die early."

Cheers erupted from the crowd, and almost everyone hoped that this cruel murderer would die.

If it wasn't for the fearless vanguard soldiers brought by Galen, holding weapons, they stood in front of these people.Then these people have already swarmed up and killed the prisoner.

"He seemed to have something to say."

Lux walked up to the prisoner, "This is Fossbarrow, how to judge is up to you. But...I have a request, please let him say what he wants to say. He has been subdued now and is no threat to us. "

Chapter 467 Darkness

Forsbarrow, town center.

A man's limbs were bound and he was pressed on a wooden platform for slaughtering livestock, and the people around him looked angry.

Almost everyone wants to see him put on trial.

death penalty.

has been unavoidable.

But Lux still wants to ask about the situation. Demacia is a fair and bright country, where right and wrong are both right and wrong, and black and white are clearly distinguished.

Prisoners are punished as a matter of course.

"Aldo Dayan." Lux walked towards the prisoner, and squatted down in front of the wooden platform.

She was at eye level with the prisoner.

"Please look into my eyes." Lacus said calmly, "Say what you want to say."

Aldo Dayan's body was covered in blood, and one eye was swollen high from a blunt force blow.The other eye was bloodshot, and the eye socket was thick black. It looked like he hadn't slept well for several nights.

"Miss Crownguard, what are you doing?"

Judge Giselle asked in a stern tone, "He is a criminal, and he has admitted his crime. Moreover, some people saw him kill his neighbor with his own eyes. He is irrefutable!"

Judge Giselle looked agitated.

This woman not only endured the pain of her child's disappearance, but her spirit was also devastated by continuous nightmares.

"Go ahead."

Lacus ignored Judge Giselle, although she also wanted to give her due respect, she was not an unreasonable noble lady.Her mother raised her to be a well-mannered and good girl from an early age.

But Lacus cares more about the truth of the matter.

She knew that if she backed down a little, the prisoner would be executed immediately, and what he wanted to say would never be uttered.

Aldo Dayan stared into Lux's eyes, and there was a trace of pain in his expression.

"Miss, I killed them."

Aldo spoke slowly, "But I had to do this. When I woke up, I saw the truth. They are just monsters in human skin, and there is a terrifying darkness lurking in their bodies."

Aldo became agitated, his body struggled and twisted on the wooden platform, looking like a lunatic.

But he couldn't escape the bondage.

"A monster in human skin?"

Ari's soft voice sounded, "Can you describe in detail what you saw?"

Aldo was still struggling, and seemed to be having a hard time getting still and communicating.But Ari can also understand that it is difficult for anyone to calm down and slowly tell people about these things when they are about to die.

What's more, the people around are still shouting to kill him.

Everyone hated, despised, and spurned him, and everyone's words were filled with anger and curses.

Aldo raised his head suddenly and glared at the crowd, with a chill in his eyes that sent chills down the spine.It seems that as long as Aldo is released, he will rush into the crowd again and kill people.

"Those monsters are hiding beside us, there will be some among you, there must be... there will be! So...you all want me to die. Those monsters are mixed among you, and you and the monsters are shouting the same words."

Aldo's forehead was bulging with veins, like a trapped animal, panting violently and growling angrily.

"enough!"

Judge Giselle's eyes were cold, "Aldo Dayan, you lunatic, did you kill my son Luca? Just because...he was different from other children, so you killed him?"

Judge Giselle was trembling all over, as if she had lost the slightest elegance, let alone the majesty and calmness of a judge.Now she is just a mentally tortured mother who lost her child.

"Different from other kids?"

Ari found a piece of information from Giselle's words, "You didn't tell us this before."

Giselle's body was startled like an electric shock, and her trembling body calmed down.

But her eyes dodged, and she never dared to look into Ari's eyes.

He didn't even dare to look at the people around him.

Giselle lowered her head, her eyes fell on her shoes, her expression was a little cramped, and her pupils shrank.

"What's different about your child?"

Ari asked urgently.

Ari sincerely wants to find Luca, not only for the task reward, but also for a poor mother.

Although Ari is not as pure and kind as Lilia.

but.

Compassion is still there.

"No... nothing..." Giselle said vaguely, "He is just a little different from ordinary children. Ahri, don't ask. What we need to do now is to bring the murderer to trial."

"Murder for life!"

The crowd erupted again.

"Murder for life!"
