【Shining】Fallen

A trial is being held in the central square of the Bianyue Xiuyan District.

About 200 people gathered together, and there was a girl kneeling in the center, about 15 years old, her hands were tied, she was wearing a plaid shirt and jeans, her black hair hung messily on her cheeks, and her cheeks were dirty.

Among the people around her, a man said.

"The vote is over. You sheltered sixteen deportees and let them go. After a referendum, they were sentenced to death. - Do you have a last word?"

The girl's expression looked broken.

"I have too many last words, and I don't think it's right anywhere," she mumbled in a low voice, her voice was cowardly, with an inexplicable sense of joy, "Bianyue has no citizens now, and according to the law, non-citizens are not held small Eligibility to vote... No, no, forget it all, just because I let go, will someone give me the death penalty? Death penalty? Will the sentence be too severe?"

Immediately, people around sneered, a stone was thrown on her forehead, the girl was thrown back, and blood flowed out meanderingly.

The man was dissatisfied with her attitude, and accused excitedly: "Because we are all non-citizens now! We should abide by the rules of the planet! We—as long as we are still the majority! Tianji will definitely save us!" He panted heavily After taking a few breaths, he continued resentfully, "But you shouldn't let go of those filthy guys... They are the ones who caused the entire Bianyue to be exiled...! They are our enemies!"

The girl hissed with tears in her eyes from the pain.

"This is wrong, you are wrong." She shrugged her shoulders, looked very scared, and insisted while shedding tears silently, "It's not their fault, they shouldn't have sent the plague and Synthetic beasts... What if Hazama is really extinct? Everyone chose to agree, so it's not because they were exiled by Tianji, and it's not their fault..."

"But you're wrong!" someone interrupted her, "The minority is wrong! You shouldn't be saving them! Kill all the people in the narrow space, and maybe the interstellar voyage ship will be able to carry us!"

"Uh, this should be very unlikely... The interstellar voyage ship said at the beginning that it could only save 300 million people..." The girl sniffed her nose childishly, her eyes were red, "And I think... the minority does not represent mistake……"

"You are wrong! Minorities have no right to live."

"...Then kill me..." She said sadly, "When I voted, I never thought about the truth...Maybe because of me, I indirectly killed innocent people..."

Someone nodded and stepped forward with a barrel of gasoline.

"My child, my child... you should repent..." A woman glanced at the gasoline uncomfortably, and persuaded, "Repent... say that you are wrong, you should not go against everyone, everyone's choice is the real right, we are Democracy... Sir, if she confessed, would she not have to use this method..."

The girl opened her eyes slightly, and smiled timidly after a while.

"Thank you..." she said, "ah kind of happy...thank you...I'm all right. I think...I'm really right...I guess."

The woman immediately changed her face, covered her nose and took a step back in disgust.

"...I originally thought the smell of death by fire was too bad...but if you want to die, I won't stop you."

"...???" The girl was stunned for a moment, "Okay, okay..."

It's her who is being passionate...!

Seeing her bow her head, the crowd tacitly admitted her guilt, and angrily pumped gasoline up.

"Then," the man pronounced, "On June 224, 6 in the planetary calendar, the 25th small-scale referendum in Bianyue took place. A total of 1024 people participated, of which 202 people chose 'yes' and 202 people chose 'no'. According to the planetary law, now Give the suspect the death penalty and immediately execute..."

The girl stared at the gasoline approaching in horror, and didn't listen to the man's conviction. She kept swiping the screen in her heart: "Wait, wait, wait, pour it on me, didn't you pour it on some branch and tie me into a cross?" The ancient earth is not fond of the smell of gasoline It will be big, right? The fibers of the clothes I’m wearing are not flammable, what should I do? What if it burns extremely badly and won’t burn to death?

Then she caught a scent—a very light pine scent that suggested wind and forest.

There was a loud gasp in the surroundings, the sun in front of her was blocked, and a small shadow was cast on her head, she raised her head in doubt.

After seeing the face clearly, she stopped thinking.

Men... no, women?

The skin exposed by the clothes was white and flawless like porcelain, and the color of the eyes was unclear, but very light, like shimmering in the shadows.The facial features are beautiful, the body is straight, and even the details such as finger bones and hair tips are exquisite. Only a statue carved by the gods can achieve this kind of perfection——

The girl held her breath, and was frozen in place by the huge impact of that beauty.

The statue smiled at her, as if the epiphyllum in the quiet night changed from stillness to full bloom.

"Do you want to live?"

Even the voice is so nice.

The girl was stunned, she didn't understand what he was talking about at all, and she didn't even feel the stiffness of the neck muscles caused by raising her head for a long time.

The statue—no, a human, only a human laughs like that—squats down.

"You..." he said, "you have some similarities with my friend in character... Well, Bian Yue is really interesting."

His speech and demeanor give people a very light inorganic texture, but when he mentions "friends", he subconsciously smiles.

"I don't know much about your habits. I hope I'm not meddling. Would you like to ask for help? Do you want to live?"

The girl shuddered, and finally regained her senses from the shock he brought.

"Think about it! Think about it! Think about it...! Oh, no, no," she quickly said in a panic, "Run away! I'm fine, it's dangerous to save me, the braised crab alone is fine, no Getting you involved...! Uh..."

She hesitated and said quickly, "If, if it's convenient for you, if you don't disturb your time, and it's a coincidence...if you meet my mother...she looks very similar to me! If you I see...you can trouble her to tell her that I escaped to the narrow room, please don't worry...OK?——If it's convenient and willing for you!"

The man blinked, and the girl almost let out a disrespectful gasp under this movement.

"Okay," he stood up, "200 people..."

At this moment, most of the people regained their senses and wanted to scold him to get away viciously, but they unconsciously lowered their voices towards that face.

"Cough, you leave now! Do you want to be voted too?!"

The man took a step forward, and from the girl's point of view, his long green hair shook like a forest being blown by the wind.

Just for a split second—she didn't even have time to blink.

200 people, all fell at his feet.

Her brain seemed to be frozen, she couldn't understand what happened, was it a plague?infectious disease?Or someone sneak attack?Could it be that a huge gust of wind knocked them all down?

But, but...

The man turned to the deserted building about 20 meters away and said, "She's fine, you go back, I'll take care of it here."

After waiting for a while, he said again: "Go back to the narrow room, I will make them pay the price."

The girl looked along, but saw nothing.

Then he withdrew his gaze, half turned around, and said to her gently.

"Please get up."

The girl stood up obediently in a daze, only to find that the rope in her hand had been cut at some point.

"He, they..." She hesitated to ask.

The man calmly said: "It's okay, I just fainted, I have already lightened my strength - I would just fall down, Bianyue's people are weaker than Zazama's."

The girl's entire face was distorted, and the big man who was connected by nearly two meters was weak, so wouldn't she be crushed to death with just one finger? ? ?

Two hundred people!Moment!

This force value is unscientific!

She rubbed her wrist and asked in a low voice.

"Excuse me, are you here... Are you from Zama? What's the matter?"

Could it be that this good-looking little brother (sister?) also wants to take revenge on the society!

"Come to find people, I want them to go back, Bian Yue may have a virus that can infect them."

The girl thought back about the narrow people she had met before, and she didn't think they seemed to be obedient.

"Then... is there anything I can do for you? Ah, I should thank you for saving me first! Will it cause you trouble? I'm sorry! Thank you very much!" She was a little incoherent.

"You don't need to use honorifics, it won't cause me any trouble," the girl noticed that he was a little distant in temperament, but his temper was good. "It's not a big deal."

"But...you...you might be attacked..." She bit her lower lip and explained apologetically, "Recently, Bianyue has been cleaning up the people in the narrow room, and you saved me in public...maybe you will be included Bian Yue cleaned up the list, as long as anyone who sees you can kill you without responsibility."

The man smiled lightly.

"yes."

The girl thought for a while, summoned up her courage, and twisted the corners of her clothes with both hands.

"If, if you don't mind... please let me lead you the way! Many devices in Bianyue require iris recognition to enter, and I am more familiar with this place, please take away the people in the narrow space as soon as possible, they are here It's dangerous to stay too long..."

He showed a slightly raised eyebrow expression - the girl intuitively felt that this action was not his own, and he should have learned it from somewhere, and his temperament did not seem to be able to make such a slightly aggressive action - thinking for a moment.

"Then, thank you."

The girl took a deep breath, suppressed her excitement and clenched her fists, as happy as if she had drawn a five-star card.

"Okay, okay! I will definitely work hard! Have you eaten yet? Is it okay to come to my house to eat? Although there are not many kinds of food, the taste of my cooking is not bad! Ah, I still need to go back and get something... uh, you..."

"Enkidu."

"Okay, Mr. Enkidu! Let's find your people first after eating. I probably know where... No, no, I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet."

She showed a shy, bright smile and said briskly.

"I'm Susan... I'll try my best not to cause trouble for you!"
