【Shining】Fallen

"What are you doing?" Gilgamesh asked.

Shamut was startled, and the flower pot in his hand almost fell off.

She looked back hesitantly.

"...Are you talking to me...?"

He snorted.

"Are there any other bastards here?"

Shammut put the flowerpot on the table and carefully wiped off the little dust from the tip of the leaves.

"I'm taking care of this flower." She said softly, without showing any offense.

"So, there is nothing to take care of that thing."

"It's beautiful, and...Enkidu likes flowers...he rarely likes anything, and it's rare to make him happy."

"Of course, how many preferences can weapons have."

Gilgamesh said that, without paying any attention to Enkidu who was sitting in front of the shop, and lazily commented.

Shamut laughed, she knew that Enki would not mind other people's evaluation of him, he was a person who lived in his own world, and other people's words could never cause any waves in his heart.He was sitting cross-legged in front of the store, a cat was lying on his knees, its furry chin was lifted up by being touched.When facing humans, he always appears indifferent and alienated. Although he is beautiful, that beauty is created by God.

As for the handsome blond man in front of him, I have only known him for a few days, but Shammut has already fully understood that this grown-up only pokes other people's feet when he speaks, and has a bad personality and is extremely arrogant. If you have to be serious about his words and tone Just mad.

Shammut paused.

She wanted to continue to say something, but Enkidu glanced into the store after Gilgamesh finished speaking.

An extremely dull glance, if the owner of the gaze is not Enkidu, there will be no problem.

"..."

Shamut stopped the topic, smiled, carefully avoided Gilgamesh with the flowerpot in his arms, and squatted down at Enkidu's feet.

The sunlight fell through the power grid, and the white petals were surrounded by a small halo. The three-colored cat's tail was long, and it flicked and patted her arm.

"The weather is so nice." She narrowed her eyes comfortably.

Enkidu withdrew his gaze and rubbed the cat's paw with his thumb.

"Ah, the weather is so nice." He smiled.

At twelve o'clock in the noon, they heard the sound of "Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng Dang" sounded on the wristbands and radio in the whole street at the same time.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!"

"It's started, it's started!"

The streets and alleys began to whisper and gather to eat melons.

"The second round has begun!"

"The trial has begun!"

"Who still has citizenship? What's the case this time?"

Six hours into the referendum, citizens who survived the previous trial were mobbed.

"Let me see! What kind of moths can those guys from Tianji do!"

"Have you bound the bracelet yet? Binded? It's okay, vote for me and guarantee to let you live—mine? Hahahahahaha what would I do if I still rob you!"

"Shut up! It's started! Watch carefully!"

A wife who murdered her husband with poison and pillows and pretended to be missing was arrested after burning his body with traces of body oils on his clothing.

The motive for the murder was that the husband had a strong desire to control in his daily life, and he used violence all the year round to force his wife to give up her job and return to the family.

"Do you know what I have experienced?" My wife stated in her self-defense, "I worked overtime until four o'clock in the morning for ten consecutive months, and I could only sleep three hours a day, staying up late, hair loss, endocrine disorders, corneal hyperemia, and heart rate. It’s too fast, the pressure is so great that it’s close to collapse, and people even talk about it. None of these are problems. I have worked so hard to get to this position, not to be a husband and a child for a man.”

"What about your child? Don't you care about your child?" The angry people asked her, "Haven't you thought about what to do if he lost his complete family?"

"That's not a complete family," she replied. "My child is an adult, he should have his own life, and he shouldn't live in the shadow of his parents."

"Oh my god... how can people be so cruel!"

"A veritable villain!"

"No love! No tolerance!"

"Why do such cases happen every day? It's scary. Obviously, the couples around me get along very well."

"Guilty! Of course guilty! She burned the body cruelly and abandoned the child! She deserves the death penalty!"

When Bian Yue and Tianji were filled with righteous indignation, they whispered among themselves.

"Wow! Could this be the legendary villain?"

"Wicked girl? Do you want to die? Right now, here?"

"Damn well done! Someone dares to touch my mother and cut her body up!"

"So it really is..."

"—Not guilty! Not guilty!!!"

"Idiot! We were the ones who chose to die without guilt last time! So we are guilty!"

"Then choose guilty...I choose...!"

"No, no, wait, wait," someone whispered mysteriously, "Listen to what others have to say first."

"How many of Strelitzia TM can have citizenship! Who else... ah... you are so smart!"

They leaned in front of the wristbands and listened attentively to the TV host's comments.

"... Judging from the case, the suspect has been in the long-term..."

After the intermittent blurred screen, the screen and sound became clear again.

"...The one who resists the perpetrator of domestic violence is naturally an act of justice. She protected herself and her family, which is an extraordinary act of righteousness!"

Another commentator retorted: "However, she has chosen the most extreme crime, despite being able to escape violence through verbal appeasement or divorce."

"Please watch your words, the referendum is not over, no one can decide whether she is guilty or not."

"Isn't a violent resistance a manifestation of justice?"

"It's a pity that she killed someone, and that's a sin no matter how many reasons there are."

The melon-eaters watched the seven programs for five and a half hours, using their meager brains that they don't use at ordinary times to analyze the tone and expression of the hosts. Out of the 17 hosts, 15 thought they were innocent and 2 people thought they were guilty.

"Then choose 'Innocent'!"

"Choose choose! That's it!"

Ida squeezed her small body to join in the fun, seeing that they finally got the answer, she was satisfied and patted the ashes off her little skirt and went home.

"Brother Enkidu~ The correct answer in today's trial is 'not guilty'!"

There were three people sitting in the small flower shop that looked cramped even after being remodeled. Gilgamesh was watching Enkidu weave the wreath, and immediately laughed at this.

"How can the correct answer that even Hazama knows is correct."

Shammut bent down to take Ida's little head that was rushing forward, and hugged her in his lap.

"Hey big brother, you are actually here... Huh! I think everyone is analyzing it very rarely and seriously! Eighty percent of the TV stations say they are innocent!"

During the few days he stayed here, Gilgamesh almost only went out for a walk, and the small flower shop couldn't accommodate him as a great god.It is said that at every meal time, gang families of all sizes will be forced to offer delicious food by the elusive blond man, and they will be ridiculed if they can't beat them again and again. Someone saw him live on the 113nd floor of Room 2 in Strelitzia District, and secretly spread the rumor that he was able to be arrogant for so long because of the nepotism of the strongest weapon in Hazama.

Gilgamesh, who was supposed to be taking a walk, appeared in the flower shop. A huge chair was placed in the center, fully occupying two-thirds of the entire shop area. He was currently observing with his chin resting on his right hand.

The Enkidu who was being observed looked like no one else was around, leaning against the window edge with his head down, his slender fingers wrapped around the flower stems, passing through the empty rings one by one.He bent one leg against the glass, his long green hair falling softly on his back and chest.The sunlight outside the window shrouded him like a statue of a god, an ancient beauty, inorganic, compassionate, and high above.

Sometimes Gilgamesh found it interesting to observe Enki like this.

There are too many people full of desires in his life, and too many people full of exhaustion.People's hearts are always stuck with impurities. A pure soul like him is extremely rare and difficult to approach.

How shallow weapons are, you can see the bottom at a glance.But wouldn't it be fun to gain the loyalty of someone who's never had a religion? (Note 1)

Gilgamesh lolled back on his bench.

"The TV station said innocent? You listened to them?"

"...Isn't it?" Ida tilted her head in doubt, "Because, as long as you become the majority, it's fine. The TV station has said it, so everyone must vote like this."

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha fool!" Gilgamesh couldn't help laughing, "Don't believe in yourself, but trust others, and give up the right to choose! Hahahahahahahaha...! That's all, by the narrow It's not bad to be able to think of this level of intelligence!"

"...No, can't you?"

"Ah, of course, giving up is also a kind of power—although it is very stupid." He put away his smile, waved his hands as if he was bored, and said boringly, "You, do you know how the world works?"

How the world works-

"Although it's a cliché... let me explain it to you.

"When 162 was established, the first law stipulated that 'the minority is subject to the majority', and absolute democracy is absolute justice. This law has been in operation for 200 years, and it has long since immersed the magnificent altar in a sea of ​​blood. There is no trial in the narrow space, Right, your rules are in your own hands. So you will never know how Bian Yue and Tianji manipulate public opinion—”

Every person who has citizenship will experience an average of 25924 trials in his lifetime.

Trial is the final determination of guilt or not, and it is the bounden duty of every citizen.On the first day of the planet’s establishment, nearly [-]% of the residents who denied the “First Law” were exiled in the first trial, the remaining [-]% ​​were exiled in the second trial, and no one was exiled at the beginning of the third trial.

The only time this planet implements the true intent of the "First Law" is precisely in the First Judgment.

Everyone is thinking about the future of the planet, their own future, and the future of future generations.Each of their votes is carefully considered and carries the fate of the planet on their backs.They voted with such awareness and were exiled.

So everyone began to listen to the same voice.

why?Because I'm really tired.

Thinking is exhausting.There are so many more important things in life, work is so busy, life is so tiring, beautiful dresses are overwhelming, relaxing games are endless, and finally have some free time, who doesn’t want to have a good rest?Why do we have to go all out to find the truth?

What have I to do with the judged?What's the matter with you?

Whether he committed a crime, whether he was just, whether his sentence was appropriate or not - how many people really care, every trial in 25924 cares.

As long as you treat your vote with heart, then one day, you will definitely be exiled.A thinking man is not always on the side of the majority.

So, what most people say is right, just listen to it.

How to judge most people?Didn't the media speak up?Isn't their influence the embodiment of public opinion?Then, they represent the voice of the majority.

If it is wrong, it is not my fault, it is the fault of most people.

What's more, most people's mistakes are not wrong.That's right.

Step by step like this, Bian Yue and Tian Ji - there is only one voice.

Sweet dreams before betrayal,

Justice glimpsed before murder,

The truth that shined before the lie,

It was all thrown away.

because the only thing that matters

Who has the exclusive right to speak. (Note 2)
