The Death Plan of a Hero of the Empire

[This is a gift for you in return, let's experience the feeling of becoming a mortal! 】

The voice of the system appeared in the heart of the mysterious man.

Then, there was a sudden silence.

After a while, Lunier tried to call the system.

"System...system?"

Lu Nier didn't get a response, and the mysterious man in front of him withdrew his palm, turned and left, his figure melted into the air, without leaving a word, as if he was here to help Lu Nier solve the system.

The system that troubled him suddenly disappeared, and Lunier was not very happy.

Because it is obvious that now he feels that there are more and more unknown mysteries.

The identity of that mysterious person, why does he know the system, and whether the last words of the system are true or false...

Everything made Lunier feel chaotic.

The confinement is lifted.

Lu Nier tried to take off the [Ring of Sacrifice] on his hand, but the ring was firmly stuck on his finger, and he couldn't take it off at all.

"Lu Nier?" Vanessa looked at Lu Nier worriedly, his current expression was obviously not right.

"Huh?" Lu Nier came back to his senses, temporarily suppressing all doubts, "Let's go first."

"Ah."

The two tacitly did not talk about what happened just now, and continued on their way.

The destination that Lunier chose was a small hotel, which was relatively cheap and had a dirty and messy environment, but he didn't care about the identity of the guests.

This is of course to hide identity.

Looking at the cobwebs in the corner of the ceiling and the musty-smelling bed, Vanessa didn't have any complaints, and she wasn't a spoiled person. Rather, she had suffered too much, and this was nothing at all.

"Let's stay here for one night for the time being." Lu Neil said, "Tomorrow go directly to the pier to meet Terena."

"it is good……"

Vanessa responded, just about to continue to say something.

"Good night."

Lu Nier said good-bye, and went to the next room without looking back.

"..."

Today is destined to be a sleepless night, Lu Nier tosses and turns, it is difficult to fall asleep no matter what.

What happened in the past few days is really hard to calm down.

……

The next morning, Lu Nier got up early, called Vanessa first, and then went to buy breakfast.

On the way back after buying breakfast, he took a newspaper with him to read. This was to check whether the incident last night and the incident he was wanted on appeared on it and brought any information.

But nothing seems to be...

Lu Nier's gaze suddenly stopped, his gaze was fixed on one of the news, his pupils dilated.

[An investigator committed several serious crimes for betraying the Bureau of Investigation, and will be publicly executed this afternoon...]

Although the investigator's name was not disclosed above, there is no doubt about the relevant information...

It's Charlton!

Lunier unknowingly pinched the newspaper and deformed it.

"Chatton is going to be executed..."

Although he was not particularly familiar with the candy-eating investigator, the crime described in the newspaper was obviously mainly caused by assisting Lunier in his escape.

The sudden execution made Lunier feel unreal, but considering the way the Bureau of Investigation treated traitors in past documents, it seemed normal.

Lunier didn't think about the possibility of this being a trap, because the Bureau of Investigation never joked about executions.

That is to say, if nothing is done, then Chatton will be executed this afternoon.

Lu Nier hesitated for a moment, then decided to go to the execution ground to rob people.

Folding the newspaper and putting it in his pocket, Lunier went back to the hotel and had breakfast with Vanessa.

"Sorry, I can't see you off today."

"What happened?" Vanessa asked.

"Suddenly there is something urgent to do."

"Can I help?"

"No, besides, you still have to leave today, don't you? I'll send you to the port later, before arriving at that ship, if Terena knew that we had an accident and left the safe house last night, she would definitely choose to be there with us We will meet."

"……I see."

"Ah."

Lu Nier stopped talking and concentrated on eating breakfast.

Vanessa suddenly missed the time when she was in the academy. In those days, she would have breakfast at the same table with Lu Nier every day, and she had endless words to him.

But now, the inexplicably heavy atmosphere and emotional factors made her remain silent.

Lunier sent Vanessa to the port ahead of time, found the ship that Terena said, and saw the black cat who had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Lunier, Miss Vanessa, it's great to see that you two are fine." The black cat walked towards the two with concerned eyes, "Our boss was worried that he didn't sleep until last night."

He didn't take the initiative to ask what happened in the safe house, and Lu Nier naturally wouldn't mention it.

"Where's Terena?"

"The boss is busy with other things, but he will come when he sees him off."

"Hmm...Mr. Black Cat, Vanessa will take care of you."

"This is what I should do."

"I've got other things to do, see Terena and thank her for me."

"OK……"

After speaking, Lu Nier smiled and waved at Vanessa and the black cat, then turned and left.

Lu Nier hurried to the execution ground. The execution ground is located in the center of a square specially established for public execution in the imperial capital. There are all kinds of torture instruments, such as hanging, beheading, and burning...

Depending on the degree of crime, the death penalty is different.

Among them, beheading is a relatively minor crime, and it is also the most straightforward and painless way of death.

Severe cases will be hanged, experiencing the pain of suffocation and neck being strangled.

The most serious thing is burning at the stake, that is, burning to death!

Moreover, the burning in the imperial capital was not an ordinary burning, but a layer of fuel oil was applied to the non-lethal parts of the prisoner's body, and then ignited.

This will prolong the painful time of the fire for a long time, and it can be said that life is truly worse than death.

Although these executions are somewhat cruel, they have played a significant role in law and order.

According to past historical statistics, the crime rate in the imperial capital dropped significantly after the establishment of the public execution platform.

Charton's method of execution was beheading.

Usually, when the execution ground is executed, many people will gather to watch the excitement.

When the execution platform was first launched, the entire square was packed with people watching the execution scene, but as time passed, the public execution gradually lost its novelty, and not many people watched it.

But today is different, execution investigators are very special and rare, so that there are many more people in the square today than usual.

Lunier hid in the crowd, looking at the blood-stained execution platform nearby with complicated eyes.

The reason why the blood on the ground was mottled was not that they didn't have the conditions and ability to clean it, but that they didn't clean it deliberately, which was also a special deterrent.

The process of execution is generally, from the prison of the Investigation Bureau or the Patrol Bureau, the respective employees escort the prisoner to the execution platform, and then hand over the execution to the execution officer specially hired by the empire.

Because of the fear of robbery at the execution ground, both the escort team and the scene of the execution platform are equipped with sufficient defense forces. It has been a long time since anyone who is not afraid of death has tried to come to the execution ground to rob people.

The person who dared to do this last time now has his blood in the blood on the ground near the execution platform.

Lu Nier knew very well that with his current strength, he should not be able to forcibly rob people from the execution ground.

But he has already figured out how to deal with it.

Lu Nier looked at the watch, the time was almost up, and with the noise coming from a distance, several prison cars were slowly driving towards this side.

Although it is a bit sad, the imperial capital has never been short of prisoners sentenced to death.

Lunier has learned that among the prisoners executed today, apart from Chaton, there are cultists and murderers, all of whom deserve to die.

The prison van stopped after arriving at the execution platform, and several prisoners were escorted down. Luneil saw Chadton, who seemed to have been tortured, and was a little dazed and delirious.

Lu Nier couldn't help but have some doubts.

Would the Bureau of Investigation do this?

And it was a little too fast to find Chaton guilty and execute him so quickly?

Although it was true that Chaton helped Lu Neil escape, and there were many witnesses, wouldn't it be too strange to execute an investigator with C-level strength and many credits based on this alone?

However, no matter how strange it was, it was a fact that Charton would now be executed.

This cannot be faked.

Before the execution, there is a final link, that is, the opportunity for the executed to say goodbye to relatives and friends, which can be regarded as the last humanity.

Luneil saw a few familiar investigators looking in Chaton's direction with indignation on their faces.

Lunier knew very well that they were not indignant at Chaton's betrayal, but dissatisfied with the judge's unreasonable judgment.

What kind of person Chaton was, his old colleagues knew all too well, and it would be too unreasonable to execute Chaton to death just based on this matter.

At this moment, during the final farewell, several investigators came to Chaton and talked to him from a certain distance, but Chaton seemed to have never heard of it, and looked blank.

In desperation, several investigators could only watch Chaton go to the execution platform, and his head was cut off directly by the guillotine.

Charlton is dead...

He did die, but the result of his death was replaced.

The detached corpse on the guillotine is actually an illusion.

After the system disappeared, the function did appear abnormal. After Lu Nier's experiment last night, he found that the function of extracting rewards can no longer be used, but it is still possible to extract existing rewards.

For example [Surrogate Doll]...

This strange thing that can replace death, change positions, and create the illusion of death.

In the final stage before the execution, Lunier mingled with the family members of the executed, bound the [Surrogate Doll] to Chaton, and then put the doll in another location.

The real Chaton, after being beheaded, changed his position and came to Lu Nier.

"Chatton."

"..."

Chaton looked at Lunier blankly.

"Chatton?"

Lanier called out again, but Chaton still didn't respond.

Realizing something, Lu Nier suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped Chadton.

Not only did Chaton not cry out in pain, but he still looked at Lu Nier with a dull expression.

"Veterinous?"

The current Chaton has obviously lost the ability to think and act normally, and has become a fool.

Lunier felt a little inexplicable chill, but he would not leave Chaton alone.

Putting on the mask and outer clothing prepared in advance for Chadton, Lunier left here with his back on his back.
