Chapter 77 Punishment
“Answer me a question, who do we look like in your eyes?”
Qin Xia stood in front of Vales and turned to look at Suya.
“Tell the truth.”
“Be sure to tell the truth.”
The gladiators didn't know why Qin Xia asked such a question, and Su Ya didn't know either, but she still got up from the ground with difficulty and gave a flattering smile: "A group of free people...residents..."
"Well, that's a good compliment."
Qin Xia listened carefully and nodded to savor the words.
Su Ya thought her answer satisfied Qin Xia, so she also smiled.
But Qin Xia smiled and shook his head the next second: "But this is not the truth."
As soon as he finished speaking, Valles' head exploded.
After Su Ya reacted, she let out a heartbreaking scream.
That was her most pampered and beloved offspring, and she was also the most unable to accept Valles' death.
Qin Xia walked behind one of Su Ya's daughters again, combed her hair soaked in priceless spices with her hands, and said softly: "You must be honest. If you are dishonest, you will be punished. Just like when you tortured and trained slaves, but now you are in the position of being tortured, understand?"
Suya nodded vigorously and stared at her daughter.
Her daughter felt that Qin Xia was combing her hair. Every feeling from her hair made her feel like she was in hell, and she only felt the fear that penetrated into her bones.
“So answer my question again.” Qin Xia said.
When Qin Xia spoke, Su Ya’s daughter trembled violently.
“A group of thugs, executioners!” Su Ya replied through gritted teeth.
This is indeed the truth.
"If you had been so honest and not lied just now, your son would not have died. Remember, their deaths were all due to your mistakes." Qin Xia nodded with a smile, left behind Su Ya's daughter, and walked back and forth in the square. He glanced around and saw a slave covered in bruises.
So Qin Xia signaled the slave to come closer to him.
In the eyes of these slaves who knew nothing and were more confused than the Guardsmen, the punishments imposed on the slave owners by the gladiators would not make them feel very happy, because they were not sure whether they were also Will be killed by these scary looking people.
Out of fear, the slave came tremblingly.
"How were you punished?" Qin Xia stretched out his hand and used spiritual energy to repair the slave's wounds.
"I...I ate something secretly...and then I was punished..." the slave replied fearfully.
"Who is it? Who punished you?" Qin Xia asked.
The slave hesitated and did not dare to identify.
But considering that the person in front of him looked more intimidating, the slave finally pointed at an officer among the Guards soldiers after repeated hesitation.
Qin Xia turned around and snapped his fingers.
Then the officer's head exploded, splattering the soldiers around him with filth.
The soldiers did not pick up their guns to avenge their officers, because they were not only afraid that they would be the next to be shot in the head, but also secretly gloated because they had also been abused by the officer.
"Coward." Qin Xia glanced at all the Guards soldiers, "You saw Gao Knight kneeling on the ground like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Do you think such a powerful person has surrendered to me and my brothers and sisters? Then you think you can't change anything."
"The gun in your hand can accurately hit any target from a distance of one kilometer, as long as you hit it accurately."
" The omnics you control can kill many people in an instant, as long as you give orders with your mouth.”
"But you are standing here, like a group of spectators."
"Because you know how terrible the master you are loyal to is, and you know that she is more terrible than the enemy. If you risk harming her here, The end result is that you are excommunicated." "Guards? How ridiculous. You are not soldiers at all, you are just a bunch of lackeys and slaves."
Qin Xia's voice was blessed by spiritual energy and reached everyone's ears like thunder. Qin Xia looked at the guards.
He is now certain of one thing, that is, in Nuceria, where the powerful force of a few people armed with technological creations definitely exceeds 99% of the people, there is no real army at all. .
These Guards are essentially slaves acting as soldiers.
These people are organized, issued weapons, and then use ridiculous ancient tactics.
They are equivalent to the atmosphere group of the high knights.
Just like what Qin Xia saw in the Desia siege on the anti-gravity aircraft.
Some of the High Knights could use a technological creation to emit a beam of light that instantly penetrated the city wall, but they still let a large number of Guards soldiers attack the city using ancient tactics.
The reason is probably that the high knights think that these infantry sieges are very beautiful and can liven up the atmosphere.
The world of Nuceria is essentially a huge role-playing game. A few people squander the powerful ancient technological creations left by human ancestors, and then use absolute individual force to force the vast majority of people to play. slave.
Most humans spend their entire lives in this unwilling role-playing, fulfilling the desires of the High Knights.
"Verify what I said." Qin Xia looked at Su Ya, "Let them surrender to temporarily save your life as a tarsal maggot."
Su Ya immediately touched the ring on her hand.
The control core underground in the fortress territory immediately blocked the use of all omnics and all energy weapons.
“Kneel down!” Suya howled at the Guards. Facing these slaves who still belonged to her, she was arrogant, “Otherwise I will kill you all!”
“ Do you still have a hand?" Qin Xia stretched out her hand, and the ring on Su Ya's finger floated and fell into Qin Xia's hand.
Looking at the ring in his hand, Qin Xia easily judged that it was a tool used to exploit the underground AI core in the fortress territory.
Its principle is very simple, it is to add a whitelist or a blacklist, using a small device found by the Murray family on a corpse in the defense platform where the core is found. This is what is written in the Murray family's research notes on the core.
Before Qin Xia saw Su Ya using this thing, he didn't realize that the device mentioned in the note was controlled by an ordinary copper-colored ring.
As for the AI core that can remotely invade and lock technological creations, using physical technology to deal with this thing is tantamount to seeking death. What can be used to exploit its loopholes is psychic energy.
"I have another question." Qin Xia raised a finger to Su Ya.
Hearing the word question, Su Ya trembled in fright and hurriedly looked at her remaining children.
Qin Xia walked up to Su Ya, squatted down, and looked at the noble family head in front of her.
A question full of doubts came out of his mouth.
"I'm not surprised that the Guards didn't dare to shoot, but why are you so obedient? I once thought that slave owners... nobles, after all, have some moral integrity, but you still can't do it in desperate situations Stop begging for mercy and compromise, just like you think you can survive as long as you keep compromising..."
Faced with this question, Su Ya still answered honestly.
"Because killing me is by no means your best choice." Su Ya told the truth fearfully, "You don't look stupid, you should be able to realize this truth... This sounds very uncomfortable. But the truth is this, please forgive me, I don’t know how to express it in a humble way.”
"My mother and her relatives are in the city of Desia. They have wealth that even I can't match."
"You can choose the path that is most beneficial to you, that is, this place belongs to you. You should not Kill my heirs, let me go, and then you will have whatever you want, whether it is wealth, freedom, power, or joining the High Knights..."
"..."
Su When Ya was halfway through her explanation, Qin Xia suddenly raised her hand to interrupt.
“No, we don’t want to have power and wealth, let alone become damn slave owners, but we do want freedom, but we have already got this thing.”
Qin Xia stood up as she spoke, putting this woman who was just a weakling when not wearing equipment into her shadow.
“We just want you to die.”
Qin Xia suddenly clenched her fists. Suya and her descendants were eroded by spiritual energy, and their limbs gradually twisted amidst heart-rending wails. Into mahua.
