Even though their cellmate fainted in front of them, the other two did not seem panicked.
The man and woman who were still awake seemed to have long been accustomed to this scene. They just silently withdrew their gaze and closed their eyes again.
Failed to pretend...
Fortunately no one noticed.
Cheng Shi coughed twice, then walked calmly up to the great judge in the middle, and looked carefully at the man with gray hair and wrinkles on his face.
He was once one of the six supreme members of the Grand Inquisition. What mistake had he made to be imprisoned in such a place?
In the past, Cheng Shi's tests were always very tactful, but today was different. This was a dungeon and there was no one he needed to avoid, so he spoke directly to the point.
"I know you, but you don't know me, Lord Laques. A stranger who doesn't belong to the Grand Inquisition walks in front of you. Aren't you curious?"
"......"
The old Laquis didn't even open his eyes. He moved his lips for a while and then seemed to have given up speaking and remained silent.
"Don't you want to know what happened in the Howling Prison today?"
"......"
"Oh, I see. It turns out that you are not wrongly accused. You have confessed your crime, so you don't want to leave here at all. You want to atone for your sins to the Order, right?"
"......"
Laquis opened his eyes, and he weakly lifted his eyelids. He glanced at Cheng Shi with his turbid eyes, then lowered his gaze and continued to remain silent. It seemed that his spirit had been completely wiped out.
Seeing this, Cheng Shi frowned.
What on earth had happened to him? What crime could have caused such a powerful and just judge to become like this, completely losing interest in the changes around him and even losing the desire to survive?
Cheng Shi couldn't figure it out. The only thing he noticed was that the other party had some reaction to the word "order". Maybe he... was still pious?
No, I have to change the way I ask the question. Normal communication won’t yield any results.
So Cheng Shi rolled his eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and spoke again in a disdainful and sarcastic tone:
“It seems that our Grand Justice has given up on upholding justice.
It's so sad that even the followers closest to [Order] are no longer pious. It seems that this [Order]...
I’m afraid it’s the end.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Laquis slowly raised his head, and a response finally came from the stone prison.
But the one who responded was not him, but the former chief investigator Lydia who was hanging on his left. The other party's voice was extremely weak, but the words she uttered were sonorous and powerful.
"There is no [order] in this world anymore."
"?"
Cheng Shi's eyes fixed and he turned to look at her.
Like Laques, Lydia looked haggard and exhausted, but she was much younger than Laques.
Neat short hair, strong features, clenched teeth. Even though he has been imprisoned here for an unknown period of time, this chief investigator still has a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle under his exhausted appearance.
She looked at Cheng Shi with burning eyes, and said the most determined blasphemous words in the weakest tone: "We... have long lost the goal we are pursuing..."
After hearing this, Cheng Shi's eyes widened and his pupils shrank suddenly.
They know that there is something wrong with [Order]! ?
Could it be that they were locked up here because they discovered that there was something wrong with [Order]?
So, who put them in here?
Was it the [Iron Law of Order] that falsely transmitted the decree, or was it the Supreme Inquisitor who determined the crime?
If it was the former, then it meant that at least the aura of "Order" still existed in the Grand Inquisition, but if it was the latter...
hiss--
This group of people in power knew that there was something wrong with [order] but still chose to follow it?
So what they are following is "order", or power, or...desire?
[Filth] Came out from underground?
Cheng Shi was shocked, but he remained calm on the surface and nodded in agreement:
"It seems that my guess was correct. You really know that something is wrong with Him."
Hearing Cheng Shi's words, the two who were hanging were also slightly shocked. Laques finally raised his head, and a trace of despair flashed in his turbid eyes. He whispered:
"He...has already begun to openly promote the new will?
Does He...no longer consider the millions of followers within the Grand Inquisition?
Why did He choose to go down this path of depravity and never return?
Why should we allow this world, which already lacks justice, to lose justice completely!
Why! "
The old man's voice became louder and louder, he shouted at the top of his lungs, his eyes were red and he seemed to be going crazy, the saliva flying from his mouth sprayed all over Cheng Shi's head and face.
But as all the indignation and resentment in his heart were vented, Laquis's condition quickly weakened. When he roared the last three words hoarsely, his condition was like a lamp that had run out of fuel after a last burst of life. His two cloudy eyes darkened and he fainted.
Seeing the second insider fainting in front of him, Cheng Shi wiped his face with his sleeve speechlessly.
This old guy shouldn't have any infectious diseases...
"......"
This is not the point. The point is that he heard an extremely important piece of information from the other party's limited words, that is, this great justice did not seem to know that [Order] was replaced by [Iron Law of Order]. In the other party's cognition, he felt that [Order] itself had fallen!
No wonder!
No wonder this great judge lost the will to live and all his spirit. This devout believer in [Order] was probably on his way forward when he suddenly saw that, infinitely close to the end in front of him, the throne that was shining with holy light had collapsed at some point!
It’s like walking along and suddenly finding a cliff under your feet. You are startled and realize that your journey of faith has already come to an end!
In Laquis's view, [Order] is no longer order, so what is the status of himself, a believer walking on the path of [Order]?
The tired old man had never despaired about the lack of justice in the world, but this time, he was deeply despairing.
Cheng Shi's eyes gleamed, and he began to wonder what changes had caused the other party to discover the flaw in the [Iron Law of Order]. He kept thinking about how he could extract more intelligence from this information gap.
But if you want to obtain intelligence, you must have someone to tell you the information.
There was only one sober prisoner left on the field, and Cheng Shi didn't dare to let her have any more accidents, so he quickly looked at Lydia, trying his best to make his tone not irritate the other party, but still arouse her interest.
"Lady Lydeara, if you still want to make a final effort for the remaining flame of Order, then don't faint like a coward like Laques."
Lydia was startled and shook her head slowly:
"Laques was never a coward. He was the one who discovered His abnormality and pointed it out in public."
"?"
When he heard this, Cheng Shi was so angry that he laughed.
My goodness, it turns out that this old man is not a coward, but a reckless man!
A pious fool!
You deserve to be locked up here...
