"Yes, I admit it."
"You cruelly broke her head. Fortunately, the entourage rescued her in time and did not have any worries about life. Is this a matter?" The old judge's words became more and more severe, as if as long as Li Yi answered "No", he would jump up and beat him immediately.
"Yes, I admit it."
When he heard him confessing his guilt, the jury and the judge were satisfied, but the onlookers became angry and shouted loudly that they would punish this vicious thug. This thug who even Kent's daughter was going to attack was inexcusable. Under his pitiful and thin appearance, there must be a cruel evil ghost!
"Burn him to death! Burn him to death!" People began to shout rhythmically.
"In view of the crime committed by this man, the court gave the trial: gouging the eyes and expelling forever!"
"Bang!" The wooden hammer hit him hard again. Without waiting for Li Yi to do anything, several prison guards covered his head with a burlap bag and took him back.
The trial is over.
Fate played a cruel joke on Li Yi. The cruelty of the dictatorship will kill people even if the edge of the corner is sharp. Perhaps Mani would not know that someone would lose her eyes because of her, and this trial report would not be placed on Kent's breakfast table for her to see, but this huge system is still operating with ruthless rules, and is the meat grinder for the weak.
Li Yi is just one of the victims.
The execution is in a special cell with doctors to prevent prisoners from dying from losing too much blood. However, the prison is not a hospital after all, and there will be no sweet-sounding nurses to help prisoners bandage. Although these prisoners will not be able to manage lives, their long-term work has long made them insensitive.
Li Yi was pushed into the cell. The first thing he saw was a thick iron pillar covered with blood, with the upper tip and the lower end welded on the ground paved with steel plates. The four-dimensional arc-shaped rock wall gave people a feeling of depression and gloomy. A cold breath penetrated out from the cracks of the rock, making people feel cold.
At the top of the iron pillar is a rusty copper ring, which is used to fix the head. There are two in the middle and bottom. At the top is an iron funnel, with the bottom of the funnel connected to the open cowhide pocket. This is a tool to torture prisoners with poisonous insects. Fortunately, he does not have to be punished like this.
The executioner was a jailer with thick hands and feet, with a bit of bald eyebrows and a greasy face. He was debugging the execution tools and skillful techniques, and he looked very good from the perspective of the executioner.
There are many kinds of tools, such as a slender scimitar that can easily fit into the ribs and cut the heart. A short-handled cattle tongue knife is used to remove the kneecap, just like a cow's tongue, and it is gently rolled up and a bunch of thatch is pulled into the mouth. Some torture instruments that are purely for the purpose of causing pain also have exquisite structures. Human beings have never lacked cruel wisdom and are particularly good at torture of similar people.
The tool to pluck out the eyes is a spoon with sharp edges. There are many types of spoons, probably because people's eyes are different in size. The jailer used several spoons to gesture on Li Yi's eyes to see which one is more suitable for him.
Li Yi suddenly laughed, "Please, it's not about desserts, just take them out."
"A suitable knife can make you suffer less." The prison guard was serious. He lowered his head, was silent for a while, chose a spoon, and roasted it on the fire.
At this time, another jailer suddenly poked his shoulder with a soldering iron in his hand. Suddenly, a stinking stinking smell of flesh rose, and severe pain came. Li Yi let out a muffled cry. At the same time, his eyes turned black and he felt two hot blood-flowing worms crawling down his cheeks.
The execution is surprisingly fast, and the organs used by a person to watch the world in his life are lost in just a moment.
The surroundings are pitch black, which makes people feel heartbroken and despair. It is like a deep pool. The cold and water-like darkness is so oppressed that people can't breathe. Even in the middle of the night there will be a faint light. It is the stars and the faint light from the lights in the distance, but the blind darkness is pure, clean black.
Li Yi was taken back to the cell, where he would recover his wounds, and then he would encounter ruthless exile. If nothing unexpected happens, he would die in a distant foreign land, and it would not even take long. Moreover, there was a mark of a criminal on his shoulder, just like a poisonous insect that humans are born to hate dirty things, and he would almost never be able to get help from kind-hearted people.
Just as he was thinking about how to go in the future, suddenly, a slightly shiny white star lit up in the black world in front of him.
"What is this?" Li Yi tried hard to observe the white glowing body with wide eyes, but it hurt the wound.
It is weak, shaped like a piece of boiled rice cake, constantly squirming, and two short and thick tentacles stretch out to explore the world. This is simply a little creature!
He was stunned. Not long after, he saw another on the rock wall above. This one looked stronger and larger. The white light throughout the body was slightly blue, shaped like a multi-pedied insect.
"Didn't I lose my eyes? Why can I see them?" Li Yi touched the thick bandage wrapped in his face in confusion. "Are these living organisms the rumored spirits? Or am I dazzled?"
He tried to communicate with them, and the rumor explorer gained recognition through communication with the "spirit" and thus concluded a contract.
When the road ahead was dark, Li Yi found that he was inexplicably able to communicate with the spirit. Even he himself didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow. Could it be that the explorer could only feel the existence of the spirit when he was blind?
Fate teased people like a naughty child. Li Yi gradually felt the emotions of the young creature. It was a faint, vague murmur, and it seemed that he did not have a high degree of wisdom. He was equivalent to a one or two-year-old baby, while the larger spirit ignored him and wandered around himself.
"It's great. There are creatures like spirits. I don't know why. Although I lost my eyes, I became an explorer. However, if they find that I have such terrible potential, they will definitely get rid of me at any cost. But I don't even know how to learn the knowledge of spirits. However, as long as I leave here, even if I exile, I will not be in danger of life, and even accumulate strength and have my own power!" Li Yi thought carefully, and the joy of becoming an explorer diluted the sorrow of losing his eyes, but he clearly realized that he was still fragile at this time. The reason why he could survive was that he was too weak and there was no threat to the weak.
"It was a very fortunate thing to survive. Now that I have become an explorer again, what else can I have? Although I am not good at revenge, I will not let it go as long as I have the chance." He fell asleep with peace of mind.
A few days later, the bandage in front of him was unveiled. Li Yi touched the thick blood scab and was escorted out of the city by the jailer. Since he was not a particularly dangerous prisoner, he did not look treacherous and cunning, and there were only two jailer guarding him.
"When you leave this road, you are Clundia city-state, and to the south is the Sereton River. Of course, you are blind, so you can't get through it. Find a quiet place to live a good life. Don't think too much or resent. After all, you should be punished if you commit a sin. This is your eyes. The merciful law returns this to you. I hope you do more good deeds to make up for your mistakes. If you still want to return to Siya, you must make corresponding contributions." A jailer said.
The other handed him a wax-sealed brass bottle, which contained Li Yi's eyes.
"Don't come back unless ****!"
Li Yi smiled and waved goodbye to them, not like a prisoner who was about to be exiled. "You will see me again." He thought silently in his heart.
There was no copper coin on his body, nor the food and water necessary for travelers. There was nothing worse than this. He staggered his footsteps along the road north to the city-state of Clundia. As for how to live, he could only beg.
But what made him happy was that the black world in front of him had many bright and dark spots of light, and those were spirits. It was hard to imagine that they lived by humans in a peaceful way, in their own way
Li Yi was immediately filled with hope when he lived independently and felt the joy of life.
"No one can destroy me!" he shouted.
Some of the spirits scattered everywhere are weak and some are slightly strong. You can feel a strange power from them, which is a wild power derived from nature. Li Yi found that most of the spirits are white. They are all small and weak, and some are slightly larger, with blue lights, and they move more quickly. Some can even sweep through the grass.
"White seems to be the lowest level spirit body, with the lowest intelligence, almost no self-consciousness, and only rely on instinct to act. Blue is the next stage of the evolution of white spirits, and has ordinary action power, but I don't know what the advancement of blue looks like." He analyzed.
When walking alone, he felt that the road was very long. He also heard about the Clundia city state. The consul of this city was Feld, who was a fat man with a very humorous sense of humor. He would celebrate with the residents of the city state on some grand festivals. It would be best if he passed a small town in the middle. Even if he did not, he could find water and non-toxic berries through communication with the spirit. He had already become familiar with the skills of communication with the spirit. Although he could not speak in words, he could still convey kindness and kindness. The torture he suffered also received their sympathy. Compared with these spirits, the cold residents of the city state were like empty shells.
I don’t know how long it has passed, or whether it is afternoon, evening, or late at night? Anyway, he no longer has the concept of time.
Li Yi leaned on the tree powerlessly and sat down. He was sure that he had lost his way. The avenue had already reached its end. The soft mud under his feet and the slippery moss on the stones told him from time to time that it was a wet and dense jungle. Although he was lost, he felt more relieved and more secure. After all, humans have been hurting him from childhood to adulthood.
As the number of spirits increases, he becomes farther away from the human settlements. Sometimes blue spirits fly through the sky. They have complete structures similar to bird wings, and blue light floats beside them like silk ribbons, which is so beautiful.
He also found that the body temperature of the spirit is different. Some are hot and hot, like a burning flame, some are cold and bone-black, and some are illusory and unable to feel the temperature. Their only common point is that they cannot touch the entity, and their fingers gently pass through the spirit body, as if they are stretched into water.
Under their leadership, Li Yi found a bush and touched it with his hands. A string of bead-like fruits accompanied by a sweet fragrance, which should be raspberries. The cold sound of water came from the cliff not far away. He suddenly wanted to cry. After experiencing the coldness of the world, this young man who suffered truly had a companion.
He fell asleep by the stream, and a trace of blood appeared on his pale cheeks. He was not sure what kind of dream he was having, but this was a rare good moment for people to relax.
"Grandpa, why did you find me a second spirit so quickly? My Cauchy water spirit has not yet entered the green level!" A question came from the jungle.
"Boom!" A huge tortoiseshell squeezed out the bushes and drilled out. On the turtle shell of the room, there were old and young people sitting on it. The girl's long hair was draped over her shoulders, and her hair was very straight, like a tight string, with bright black and dazzling eyebrows, delicate and soft eyebrows, and her thin lips were tightly pursed, showing a hint of perseverance.
The old man leaning on the back of the turtle was covered in white hair, crystal clear like silver threads, and his long beard rushed to the hem of the white Toga. He was barefoot and held a crutch made of walnut wood. The top of the crutch was carved with a distorted animal head. There were many wrinkles around his eyes, but his eyes were clear and bright, not like an old man in his seventies.
"Hmph! The old guys in the courtyard are nagging all day long to practice the first spirit to level C, and then sign a contract with the second one. They just want those students without background to have more strength to find excellent spirits. You little girl is the most talented young man in our You'an family. Of course, you have to choose three mutant spirits early to be worthy of your identity." The old man knocked on the hawkshu under the seat with a crutch, "My Cassidios' qualifications are close to mutant spirits, but they are still a little short of it."
"You smiled, grandpa, how could mutant spirits be so easy to find? Even the top students of Kurosawa Institute cannot have three at the same time. Moreover, even very outstanding explorers are difficult to get their recognition. Even Bruce, the first genius of the Imperial Academy in Pompeii, was backfired when he signed a contract with the mutant fire spirit and was seriously injured. Then it was the tamed mutant spirit, and the wild mutant spirits were even more ferocious!" The girl frowned.
"So if you have the chance, will you try?" The old man showed a fox-like smile. "Even if you are seriously injured, it will be a matter of time for my red-level dew grass spirit to heal you."
"Even if the red level is very strong, it will hurt so much!" The girl stuck out her tongue.
"You have never seen the pressure of the purple-level spirit in the crossbow. It is like a prison and a sea, and you can't have the idea of ​​resisting at all," the old man narrowed his eyes, as if he was recalling something, "At the peak of our family hundreds of years ago, there was also a purple-level spirit. It was a mutated sky dragon, the absolute king in the air."
