Chapter 29 Human Justice
The demon removal is complete.
Lin Wen stepped forward, pulled out the iron rod, shook off the blood on it, and was not particularly satisfied.
The iron rod is really cheap and damages the image.
Moreover, it only took a total of 12 points of good karma to kill these four monsters. [Spirit Cat's Swiftness] had no spiritual power to use, so it could only use good karma, which cost 13 points.
Still lost 1 point.
Of course, he had to be killed. Lin Wen just hated him for abusing his soul before. He used [Immortal Guidance] to solve some minor problems, when he could have relied on his own wisdom. As a result, his soul power was always extremely strained, and he had to frequently consume his good karma to use spells.
It could have been saved.
But now is not the time to think about these things. Lin Wen threw away the iron rod and walked towards the victims.
The crowd of people on the mountain had already stopped. They stared at the young man who claimed to be the county chief as he approached, feeling fear and caution, gratitude and confusion.
"My fellow countrymen."
Lin Wen walked to within a hundred steps of them and said loudly:
"I am Lin Wen, the new mayor of Changshan County. I know what you have been through, and I have come here to seek justice for you."
The sound drowned out the entire venue and could be heard clearly by even the victims who were farthest away.
There was a commotion in the crowd. Some people cursed, some burst into tears, and some were doubtful. A middle-aged man who led the group shouted:
"What's the point of killing a few dog officials? Everyone is going to starve to death anyway, or die of disease or freezing."
"Upholding justice is all bullshit, it's all a lie!"
"Our supplies must have been embezzled by this bastard official! Kill him!"
"Beat him to death!"
The voices in the crowd were mixed, some agreed, some remained silent, and some took the lead in questioning.
"What's the point of beating him to death? Can we survive?"
"I don't believe that a dog official would kill his own people."
"He said he was the new Sheriff, the Imperial Hero!"
"He's guarding the levee!"
"Nonsense, that's a lie!"
"But he killed all those bastards!"
"That's all a lie! It's a lie!"
A sneer appeared on Lin Wen's face. He was not afraid of the mixed crowd and continued to walk forward. At the same time, a ray of sunlight broke through the gray leaden clouds and shone on him, like a miracle.
【Paper Moon Hanging in the Sky】
This is the spell that was not used up last time when I killed Fatty Zhang. Its main function is to raise the paper moon and create an illusion.
Of course, this is not some profound magic. The so-called Paper Moon can be made by just finding a cardboard shell, which is now in Lin Wen's arms.
The illusion can only cover a few meters around Zhiyue.
Moreover, this so-called illusion is actually just some light and shadow effects. Normal people can see through it if they stare carefully, not to mention people with keen observation.
But it is very useful for adding special effects. The special effects are real and there is no need to worry about being discovered.
Lin Wen added a ray tracing effect to himself, and his surroundings were enveloped by light sunlight. After all, it was a cloudy day, and too strong light might have the opposite effect.
In fact, the light is only a few meters away, but it gives people a feeling that it is shining directly from the sky.
Lin Wen shone under the spotlight and instantly became the most handsome guy in the crowd.
The golden light in this gloomy sky has an indescribable sense of sacredness. Although the light is dim, it seems like the golden justice they expect as it flows and disperses.
As he moved, dots of light left a short trail behind him.
He walked towards the victims, just like God walking towards the world, and the crowd automatically made way for him.
He raised his hand and spoke loudly.
"My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is justice!"
The sound waves vibrated like the evening drum and morning bell, and like the immortal music from the gods, covering the entire mountain in an instant.
Suddenly, as if infected by a virus, a large group of people around knelt down.
“It’s the Great Immortal!”
“It must be the Great Immortal!”
Someone shouted, with a mixture of panic, shock and joy.
Many more people burst into tears and said, "I wish you could come sooner, Great Immortal."
Lin Wen shouted, "I am Lin Wen, the guardian of the Changpai Village dike! I am a hero of the empire! I am the mayor of Changshan County! I will uphold justice for you!"
The sound was like a loud bell, echoing through the valley.
"Get up! Kneel to heaven and earth, not to God!"
"I said it!"
Lin Wen walked up to a person and stopped.
The man looked panicked, looking around, as if he wanted to escape, but also wanted to pretend to be an ignorant villager, which was extremely awkward.
In Lin Wen's eyes, his energy was fluctuating violently, shrinking overall, and his energy was strange and abnormal, proving that he was extremely frightened and afraid, and at the same time had a huge secret that he could not tell anyone.
More importantly, most of his energy was black, making it extremely conspicuous among the mixed green and blue gases.
Suddenly, he turned around and tried to run, but Lin Wen kicked him over and stepped on his head. He struggled like a fish on the shore, but was unable to get up.
He shouted loudly: "The sheriff has killed people! The sheriff is coming to kill us! That's all fake, he's not a great immortal at all, you, you guys, beat him to death, beat him to death!"
No one paid any attention to him.
Lin Wen reached out and tugged at his tattered clothes. With a loud noise, the clothes tore apart, revealing his smooth back and a small carved silk vest.
Lin Wen sneered, "Everyone, take a look. Is this one of you?"
There is a kind of approachable intimacy in Lin Wen's cold attitude, which makes people unconsciously let down their guard and treat him as a close person.
People nearby came forward to see what was happening, and the ones closest to them burst into laughter.
"This delicate-skinned and tender girl is not my kind of person."
"Even my wife wouldn't wear this little vest."
Lin Wen kicked him hard, knocking him unconscious. He shouted, "These people are deliberately hiding among you to sow discord. The dog officials are not good people, and they are not good people either. They all want you to die."
"There are still people like this. Everyone, keep an eye on them and don't let any of them get away!"
"I'll look for them one by one."
"good!"
The crowd erupted in cheers: "Kill the dog official! Kill the traitor!"
A leading man stood on a rock and shouted, "Everyone is standing still. Anyone who runs is a traitor!"
"That's right, that's right. Anyone who tries to move will be killed on the spot. That's what the Immortal said!"
At this time, the fanatical mood had replaced the despair and anger in the crowd and expanded rapidly a hundredfold.
Tens of thousands of people stood in silence, covered in dust and dirt, like terracotta warriors. Only when Lin Wen approached would they make way, just like the legendary Qin Shi Huang who had successfully cultivated immortality and had laid out immortal methods in his mausoleum.
No one can stop it wherever it passes, and it will automatically recover after passing.
Soon, Lin Wen dug out more than a dozen spies. These spies could never imagine how he was able to accurately find them among so many people.
At first they wanted to hide by taking advantage of the crowd, but Lin Wen pulled them out one by one like digging carrots.
Every time one was dug out, there was a cheer. Lin Wen did not stop at all, and the cheers continued.
By the time they realized something was wrong, there were only one or two left.
It's too late to regret.
Lin Wen knocked them all unconscious, stripped them naked and threw them together, from which many valuable personal belongings fell out.
Seeing the exquisite tiger-patterned brocade handkerchiefs and jade and ivory towels, which were not things that refugees had at all, no one had any doubts about Lin Wen anymore.
Lin Wen raised his voice, his voice as loud as a bell.
"Now, please settle down and return to the camp. I will bring you food, tents, hot water, and medicine. I will bring fairness and justice to everyone, and I will organize everyone to build a home together."
"Please spread this news to everyone and ask them to stop making noise for a while. If there are any disputes, conflicts or injustices, please tell me and I will eliminate all pests from the world."
