I have two principles as a human being:
1. Never lie.
2. Never believe anything anyone says, including myself.
“Sir, I must point out that your second principle contradicts the ...
But as the guards stood up one after another, they found that they were wrong.
Li Yi disappeared, just disappeared out of thin air.
The high-ranking knight on the periphery saw the chaos at the scene and walked in, suppressing his anger. With a wave of his hand, he ordered the knights behind him to drag up all the prisoners and hold them at the feet of the guards.
He walked to Ji Er, who caused all this chaos, looked around sharply, looked coldly at the "trembling" culprit, and snorted heavily.
"You should be thankful that you are a death row prisoner. According to the laws of Gaoshan County, death row prisoners are not subject to lynching. Otherwise, according to my 'order', you would be dead now."
Ji Er did not talk back, contrary to his usual behavior. He shook his head in horror and muttered tremblingly, "It's not me, I don't know, I don't know anything, don't kill me, it's not me!"
Seeing this, Cheng Shi frowned.
What happened to him that caused his temperament to change so drastically?
Then he looked at Gao San and Zhao Si.
It seems that the person who took advantage of the fog to stab people just now was most likely one of these two, especially Gao San. Using clumsy means to conceal the fact that he was a warrior was indeed a very good disguise.
And he also had "enough" reasons to kill Su Wu.
But this is just speculation, and Cheng Shi has no evidence.
Like Cheng Shi, Gao San and Zhao Si were also stabbed in the fog just now. The assailant's figure and voice were very similar to Ji Er, but they all felt that it could not be Ji Er, so they looked at each other with suspicion first, and then at Cheng Shi.
Everyone was guessing who the assailant was, and wondering who had injured all the guards and planted such a huge bomb in this trial.
Because the three of them could confirm that they had not done anything!
And the escaped Li Yi would never make such a big noise to attract anyone's attention before disappearing.
The situation gradually collapsed amid mutual suspicion and distrust, and the least expected ending seemed to be approaching.
That's the deathmatch finale... ahead of time.
The high-ranking knight turned his head to look at Su Wu's body on the ground and asked in a deep voice:
"What happened, what did you see?"
Knight Captain Apol frowned slightly and told what he had seen and heard:
"I saw lights coming from the fog and knew someone was trying to take advantage of the confusion to escape, so I ran towards the nearest light, only to find that it came from... a rat."
mouse?
Everyone looked in the direction where Abol's gun was pointing, and they discovered that in the ruins of the cage, on the floor next to Su Wu, there was actually a tragically dead rat, and on its back was the last magic playing card.
"I suddenly realized that the light might be intended to distract me, so I rushed into the darkest fog again. On the way forward, I encountered an agile... assassin!
Not only was he very agile, but he also had superb killing skills. I never saw any of his attacks, but I was stabbed three times during the fight."
As he spoke, Apol tore off his armor, revealing three bloody bullet holes in his belly.
"But I stabbed him just as well!"
The senior captain frowned and said in disbelief: "Lance wound? Punishment knight? One of our own?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the situation on the scene suddenly became tense. All the punishment knights present tightened their spears and looked carefully at their teammates beside them, especially at the wounds on their bodies.
But there were too many injured knights, and almost every knight who was in the fog was injured.
"I'm not sure, because I didn't hear any sound of armor plates rubbing against each other, and my gun didn't hit the armor." Abol looked extremely solemn. He looked at the high-ranking knight and said seriously, "You know, there is a ceremony for nobles tonight. I'm afraid this is a premeditated assassination!
So my suggestion is that no one on the scene should leave, cancel tonight's noble viewing ceremony, speed up the final fight to the death, and when the punishment is over, we will clean out those... scum hiding in the team!
And find the missing prisoner."
The high-ranking knight pondered for a moment and accepted Abol's suggestion.
"Everyone, disperse. From now on, I will notify the Iron Knights to take over the outer defense. No knight may leave until the death match is over!
Also, if someone accidentally kills this prisoner, and surrenders himself now, I can still make a defense for you in court. If no one responds...
When I catch you, don't blame Order for being ruthless."
