when god comes

Chapter 8 Know Yourself

Before dawn the next day, Ning Yan and Hua Zai arrived at the door of Socrates' house.

Because it was the last judgment day, they wanted to persuade Socrates to let them go to the theater with him, and they could help him if anything happened.

"You can go to the theater with me, but whatever happens, don't interfere with the trial," Socrates handed them two robes with hoods.

Socrates spoke a few words with his servants, and Ning Yan saw them go out with their clothes in their arms.

Hua Zai put on the robe and found that the clothes looked familiar. She glanced at Ning Hao who had already put on the hat, and suddenly realized.

These are the clothes worn by the envoys who come to meet them.

At the entrance of the theater, they met Socrates' students, who were wearing the same robes as Ning Yuhuazai, and then a group of people entered the theater together.

Ning Yan scanned the audience and found that the He brothers, Mr. Wu and Weiss had already put on their Athenian clothes and sneaked into the backstage. Su Zilu was squatting on the roof of the theater, and Long Wei was beside him.

Ning Hao walked a group in the theater but didn't find the stairs. God knows how they went up.

Most of the players were present, and Ning Yan felt a little relieved, after all, there are more people and more power.

Before the trial started, Socrates suddenly said, "Actually, after you left yesterday, a young man named Longwei also came to see me."

"In this way", Hua Zai was actually not very surprised. After all, the player's normal thinking is to find a way to find Socrates and have an interview with him.

"Did he ask you a question?" Ning Yan took over the conversation.

"He didn't ask me a very direct question." Socrates still looked at him at the same level. "He asked me if the matter has developed to this point, do I regret it?"

"Then how did you answer?"

"There is nothing in the world that you will not regret later, a rational person will not regret it."

"No need to regret it?"

"No need," Socrates looked at Ning Hao deeply.

This was the first time that Ning Yan looked at Socrates so closely, his blue eyes seemed to be able to see through the soul of a person.

"Since you have made a choice, you have to consider the consequences. Now that you have given up, you don't need to regret it, right?" Socrates stopped talking.

The trial began, and this time the chairman skipped over the plaintiff's statement, and Socrates went straight to the rebuttal.

"Everyone, I first admit to all the accusations against me," Socrates remained calm, "but I have something to say."

"Athens has always been an elegant country. Some people here believe in parliament and some believe in God, but we have one thing in common. We are all thinking about how to live better in our own way."

"But look at what you have done. Some people want to have power, so they use money and interests to encourage you to vote; So the defeat was due to disobedience to God's will."

"Do you use your own brains to think? Are all the actions and beliefs you take because of others? Have you learned the truth of the matter?" At this point, Socrates took a deep breath .

"I still think the citizens' assembly is stupid, and people who believe in gods are also stupid. Even the god you believe in doesn't exist." Socrates continued as if he didn't see the maddened crowd below.

"You stupid people, what should I do to awaken the rationality in your hearts!"

Ning Hao had already taken the shield out of the bracelet and held it in his hand, nodding to Hua Zai.

She watched Socrates standing in the center of the stage, waving his arms, trying to cut through this comic tragedy with his own words, but there was nothing he could do.

He could only watch innocent people being squeezed out one by one, watching the Athenians who were still a little angry being controlled by God, and watching the city gradually decline until his own death.

"In any case, this is the Athens I love, and I accept your judgment." Socrates still looked straight ahead.

This sentence was not heard by the people below. The chairman tried hard to maintain order, but was overwhelmed by the scolding of the judges, and no one understood Socrates' words.

"I suddenly felt that what Anthony said was not wrong," Ning Yan said to Hua Zai with a wry smile, "These people are hopeless."

It took a long time for people to calm down and start voting.The voting was divided into two rounds. The first round was to determine whether Socrates was guilty.

"281 votes to 220 votes, Socrates is guilty", the chairman announced the voting results.

"It was you Bowen, you must have voted not guilty," a young man suddenly shouted.

Ning Yan saw that this was the partner of the uncle he met yesterday, he looked a little nervous, "I voted not guilty, but Socrates was very kind to us before, I don't think it can be like this..."

"I can't do anything, I think Socrates' crime is not only for bewitching young people, but also for bewitching middle-aged people. Look at this uncle, hahaha." The young man smiled so ugly that Ning Yan thought Borrowing Huazai's gun, he was shot and killed.

"God will punish you, and you will be cursed today because you did not follow God's will," the uncle next to Bowen muttered.

Bowen's face turned pale in an instant.

"Okay, let's start the second round of voting and vote for the punishment that Socrates will suffer." The chairman stood on the stage again.

"361 to 140. Socrates sentenced to death."

Ning Hao saw someone throwing the petals that had been prepared to the sky, just like what the chairman said just now, it is not that a person is about to die.

Laughter, whistles, and cheers erupted in the theater, and people hugged each other, rejoicing for the correct decision they made, for removing the enemies that hindered them, and for being happy forever.

The hat was thrown into the sky, and everyone in the audience laughed so wickedly and evilly. Ning Yan dared not imagine Socrates' feelings. It was Athens, which he loved, that killed him completely.

Standing on the stage, Socrates raised his head slightly, "I finally met the same fate as you, Conon."

"Okay, let's implement Plan A." Ning Yanhe secretly pressed Huazai's ear, "We will ask the players later if they are willing to cooperate. We will go to the prison together. The best case is that Socrates is willing to cooperate with you." Let's go, but it's basically impossible."

"I also don't think it's possible. He gives me the feeling that he is determined to die." Hua Zai was a little worried. "If there is really nothing, let's go to jail and ask Socrates what else he wants."

Hua Zai frowned tightly, but anyone with a conscience would feel sorry for Socrates, but the task still had to be completed, after all, it was just a game.

Let's hope the real Socrates didn't go through this.

"Because we need to worship the gods during this time, the execution of Socrates will be carried out a month later," the chairman tried to draw attention to.

"How can this be done? Keeping this person is the greatest disrespect to God!"

"We might as well kill him and sacrifice his head to the gods."

"Yes, this is the most appropriate..."

The people in the audience were noisy, and the chairman tried to explain, "This is not allowed, it does not comply with the regulations."

"Why doesn't it meet the regulations? God is the biggest regulation. Why don't we kill this bad old man now!"

The whole theater was in chaos again, the guards pushed back the crowd who had already lost their minds, and the people rushed forward blindly without knowing what incentives they received.

Finally, a guard fell, assassinated by the mad Athenians. The man raised his blood-stained sword and shouted at the people below, "Kill the wicked and defend Athens."

Ning Hao held up his shield and rushed in front of Socrates to help him block the thrown spear, "Huazai, you back off, don't..."

Before he finished speaking, someone held a knife from the side, and it seemed that the gesture was to cut Ning Yu's neck.

The gunshot rang out, but Huazai fired anyway.

Su Zilu jumped down from the top of the theater relying on the grappling hook, kicked several men to the ground before they hit the ground, and then he drew his knife and slashed up.

Weiss was punching people all the way through the back door of the theater, and the gloves on his hands were perfect for him.Players tried their best to get away from more than 500 people to keep Socrates, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

Ning Hao has never seen such a scene since he was a child. Athenians emerged from various places in the theater. Just want to kill them all.

What is this, Ning Hao kept adjusting the position of the shield, sending the crowd flying away, and stood firmly in front of Socrates.

Socrates' students drew their swords and formed a circle, trying to get out of the chaotic scene, but it was impossible, and more than 200 people surrounded them.

"Anthony!" Ning Hao heard a scream, and when he turned around, he saw that there was a hole in Anthony's stomach, and a student was holding him.

The sword on his head was about to fall, Ning Hao rushed over to take the shield to resist the blow, and looked back to see that Socrates had no way to dodge.

"Enough", Ning Yan couldn't bear it anymore, picked up Anthony's sword, turned around and just swung it.

The spattered blood fell on Ning Yan's face, and Socrates raised the corners of his mouth.

For a moment, everyone looked at Ning Yan, at the woman with golden eyes.

Ning Hao looked at the dead people on the ground motionless.The dozens of people who had rushed to the front just now were all cut in half by Ning Yan. The broken arm fell to the ground, and the intestines and bones were mixed together.

The ruby ​​inlaid on the sword shimmered.

"Run, there are monsters beside Socrates!" The rest of the people scattered and ran out of the theater.

Ning Hao knelt down on the ground, and the blood seemed to be alive, spreading towards her.

When he was in elementary school, Ning Yan saw punks fighting in the neighborhood.It was very late that day, and Ning Yan went to the supermarket to buy stationery, because he had to use it the next day.

She ran into this scene head-on, under the orange street lights, like a stage play, the dust in the air was kicked up and floated in the air.

Steel pipes and baseball bats were raised and lowered, and the man who was hit crouched, kicked, and laughed loudly.Someone pulled him up, spat in his face, and happily punched him in the jaw, blood spattering out.

It's a pity that this is not a stage play. The group of people saw Ning Yu standing in the dark and were not very satisfied with the audience. "What are you doing, little girl, don't want to call the police, otherwise, hum!" The man raised his bloody face.

That patch of red magnified in Ning Yan's small eyes.The violent side of human nature was exposed to her eyes prematurely, which left a deep impression on her.

That night Ning Yan secretly hid in the room and cried, why do human beings beat their own people who are also human beings?Is there any problem that can't be solved in a bloodless way?

"Little dwarf, what's the matter with you?" Ning Yan's father opened the door and came in.

"Father, they beat people and they bled." Xiao Ningju cried, "Why do you want to hurt others?"

Ning's mother was taken aback, thinking that Xiao Ningjia had been beaten, and almost called the police.

It took a long time for Father Ning to understand what she meant, and patted her head, "It's okay, little dwarf, as long as you are not this kind of person yourself."

I'm not that kind of person.

Ning Hao looked at the blood that had flowed to his eyes, which was exactly the same color as that night.

In the end, I am also this kind of person.

"Ning Ju, Ning Ju, let's go quickly," Hua Zai tried to pull Ning Ju who was kneeling on the ground up.

Socrates and his students had already left, and the players followed Socrates one after another. Now there are only two of them left in the whole theater.

"I killed someone, Huazai, I killed someone." Ning Ju raised his head and looked at Huazai, tears streaming from his eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay, Ah Ning, I also killed someone just now, it's just a game", Hua Zai knelt down, held her face in his hands, and gently wiped away Ning's tears.

But in fact she lied, her gun does not need to be aimed, as long as she can shoot with her thoughts, so she just shot all legs.

She didn't have the guts to shoot a gun in the head yet.

The streets of Athens are now full of people fleeing in all directions. When people saw Socrates passing, they gave way one after another.

The news that Socrates has the help of the monster has spread throughout the city of Athens.

In the Parthenon Temple, all the gods gathered together and issued orders to the Athenians, "Eliminate the monsters, eliminate Socrates, and all the Athenians please act."
