The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

James still didn't speak.

A Westerner in the seat below stood up and said, "I am his defender. Please allow me to go on stage to defend him."

The judge looked at the two island owners.

Ji Guanglai and Ning Fengquan nodded at the same time. It is a principle of public trial to allow defense, and no matter how much they hate James, they cannot change this.

The judge said: "You can go on stage to defend, but I must remind you that this is Kowloon Island. You can only defend according to our rules. Don't use your Western legal system and vocabulary to disgust us."

The defender came on stage and began to defend James.

"First of all, everyone must understand that this is not killing, this is a religious ceremony. They are all voluntary. This was clearly recorded in the process of James preaching to them."

He took out a hard drive and said, "This is the video of James giving them the first bath. It clearly records that the girls voluntarily accepted everything James did to them with the gift of God."

The judge took the hard drive and asked someone to move the large TV screen out of the lobby on the first floor of the town government, connect the computer reading device, plug in the hard drive, and start playing.

Sure enough, there was a scene of a girl kneeling in front of James.

James's voice came from the screen: "Are you willing to follow God's will and bathe in the light of the sun forever?"

"I do." said the girl.

"Are you willing to burn your body like the sun to drive away darkness for eternal light?"

"I am willing."

"Can you dedicate everything you have to this ideal, including your body, your soul, and even your life?"

"I am willing."

……

After asking many questions, the girl said the three words "I do". People who didn't know better thought they were attending a wedding, not a trial.

After saying "I do" many times, James took out a cross and waved it over the girl's body, as if using a magnifying glass to look at the flaws on her body to determine whether the product was qualified.

After shaking for a while, James said:

"Next, before you officially become the daughter of the sun, I will baptize you to wash away the dirt on your body, so that you can leave the filth of the world forever and accept the radiance of God's holiness. I will baptize you in your soul. Implant your faith into it, just as you just promised. My daughter, I want to tell you, if one day you lose your faith, you will lose God's love, and your holy soul will collapse. , falling into darkness forever. Let me ask you one last time, don’t you regret it?”

"I do not regret."

"I will use the holy body given by God that I obtained in advance to have intercourse with you and let you bathe in the holy river of love. Then, I will blindfold you, cut open your body, and take out your heart, liver and kidneys, Wash your sinful body and let you drift on the sea. If you pass the test, someone will take off your blindfold when the sun rises, and you will be reborn in the first ray of dawn. .”

"The light of your face rises from the darkness, and the sky is covered with colorful clouds. Facing your fire, the world is filled with joy... You make the stars recede, and you make the earth bright. You are the king of the gods. Facing your fire, We go to eternal life..."

In the video, James begins to sing a hymn of praise.

The girl kneeling in front of him looked up at him and sang along, her face filled with divine happiness.

After this scene was over, the video cut to the next scene. It was still the same scene, with the same words, but with a different girl.

The people in the square were silent.

The simple islanders have never seen such a thing or heard such words. They are at a loss and don't know how to face it.

People who have lived on the sea for generations have believed in God. They believe that without God's protection, no one can survive on the vicious sea.

In their hearts, God is kind and beautiful.

Although the first awakening told them that there was something wrong with James' God and his actions, it was difficult for them to refute it with their limited knowledge and reason.

"You see!" A proud smile appeared on the corner of the defender's mouth, "They were all voluntary. The girl you mentioned was just because she failed to pass God's test and failed to be reborn at dawn, so she died, but God It’s better to return her body and let her go home. Otherwise, how do you think you found a body floating on the sea and brought it back?”

It seems to make sense.

The defender was even more proud: "So, this is just a religious ritual, not a murder! In the past, you ignorant Easterners often used boys and girls to sink into the rivers and seas to please the gods. But that was not a god, that was a demon. Because None of those boys and girls were voluntary. Not willing is a sin! But these girls whom James inspired were all voluntary. How can it be considered murder if they voluntarily accepted baptism!"

This set of rhetoric is naturally untenable in a normal country and mature society, but it is very powerful on an island that does not have a perfect legal system and relies entirely on public opinion.

Just when people were silent and James was feeling proud, he suddenly heard a voice asking:

"So, what about the missing girls? Did God forget to return the bodies?"

The person who spoke was Sister Mei.

Sister Mei was very angry. Very angry.

As a famous Lanmen thief, what kind of things have you not experienced? But nothing had ever made her so angry that her lungs were about to explode.

This is the real murderous devil!

"Them?" The defender smiled slightly, "Of course they have been reborn and become the daughters of the sun. In the world of God, they will always be bathed in the divine glory!"

"Really?" Ning Fengquan, the owner of the three islands, said coldly, "Is it like her?"

He pointed to the side of the square.

The crowd parted, and someone pushed a cart over. There was a cage installed on the cart, and in the cage was a disheveled thing with slimy body.

The thing was lying in the cage with a bulging belly, resembling a toad with a human head.

The defender's expression changed.

When the islanders saw such a thing, they were baffled and didn't know what it was.

Ning Fengquan stood up, pointed at the person in the cage and said, "Elders, open your eyes and see who she is?"

A gust of wind blew from nowhere, blowing the hair of the toad man in the cage.

Only then did people see clearly that it was a person, and they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Some sharp-eyed people exclaimed: "She...she is Yaya! It's Yaya!"

After being reminded like this, many people recognized him.

Yaya's parents were the first to rush up and threw themselves in front of the cage, choking and shouting in pain: "Yaya! Yaya!..."

Then he turned around and knelt down to Ning Fengquan, praying, "Master Three Islands, why has my daughter become like this? Master Three Islands, you must save her!"

Ning Fengquan helped them up, with a sad look on his face, and said: "You two, please be sorry, Yaya is dead, she was harmed by them!"

He pointed at James and his defender, "Is this what you call the daughter of the sun? Is this bathing in the light of God? No! This is hell! You devils! You still hurt people like this. Sophistry here. In the name of God, he deceives a good woman, rapes her, kills her, disembowells her heart, disembowels her body, and throws her body into the sea. Then, she turns her body into a demon using sorcery, turning her into a human and a ghost. Demons like this, If we let him go today, our Kowloon Island might as well sink!"

"You can't let him go!"

"Revenge for Yaya!"

"Murder for life!"

"Sink him into the sea!"

"Yes, Chen Hai!"

"Shen Hai!"

"Chen Hai! Chen Hai! Chen Hai!..."

The islanders shouted in unison, their anger rising into the sky.
