Chapter 376: Seeing Injustice
"My life!"
In a shop full of lights, wine and music, the young man sat decadently on the sofa, holding the wine glass weakly in his right hand, and sighed in despair.
Across from him, a man slightly older than him was hugging a heavily made-up woman, telling dirty jokes in poor Horned language, and the woman laughed in agreement from time to time.
This was Friedrich List and his companion McKinley.
Last night, the church raided the hotel where they were staying, searching for so-called wizards and witches room by room, making the place restless.
McKinley knocked on List's door in the morning and found that he was a little unconscious, repeating something about women and antidotes.
List told him in detail what happened that night.
McKinley sympathized with him on the surface, but thought in his heart that this guy was probably having a wet dream.
Take off all clothes? Normal. Put a dagger against the neck? The taste is quite strong.
Let's take him to the red-light district to relax. After returning, I will ask Todd to reimburse the money in the name of inviting business partners to dinner, haha.
So there is this scene now.
"My life! It just started and it's about to end!"
After a few glasses of wine, Liszt became even sadder, and now he was emitting negative energy all over his body.
"Guest..."
Like McKinley, there was a gorgeous woman sitting next to Liszt, who was smiling awkwardly at this time.
She tried her best but couldn't make this sighing guest happy, and she couldn't help feeling frustrated.
And she couldn't understand the Ordo language that the guest was talking to himself.
"Liszt, you are really a fool!"
McKinley on the opposite side couldn't stand it anymore.
"How can you treat the beautiful lady next to you like this?"
As he said this, he threw a "wink" to the woman next to Liszt, causing her to laugh.
"Okay, stop feeling sorry for your erotic dream and look at the beauty of reality!"
Lister held his head and said frustratedly: "I'm not kidding you. If I don't get the antidote from that woman, I'll really have to die in a foreign land!"
McKinley sneered: "You're really dreaming so hard that you can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality! I asked the waiter, and until I got to your room, I didn't see any women coming in and out of the hotel!"
"Ah!" Lister opened his eyes wide, "I told you that woman is a demon..."
"Shh!" McKinley quickly covered his mouth, "Don't mention that word. Although we don't know how sensitive this place is to witchcraft, we'd better be careful!"
He looked at the two hostesses, and their expressions didn't change. He was relieved to confirm that he couldn't understand their Aldo's words.
"You don't really believe in the devil... that thing, do you? I think it's just the gangsters who have surrendered to the church and want to find a reason to extort some money from us outsiders!"
Lister looked solemn and whispered: "Whether you believe it or not, a woman inexplicably appeared in my room last night, and I am sure that the church's actions are 100% related to her!"
Seeing Lister repeating it again and again, McKinley's heart was also shaken. Could it be that what he said was true?
The sound of broken cups and plates suddenly came, destroying the atmosphere of the store.
Everyone in the room looked at the source of the sound.
There was a table overturned there, and a drunk man next to it was going crazy.
He held a wine glass in one hand and grabbed a woman's collar with the other hand.
"Drink! Drink it if I tell you to drink it!"
There were several men next to him who were making a fuss, looking at the woman's body with a lewd look.
The poor woman seemed to be a little unconscious, but she still stretched out her hands and kept shirking responsibility.
"What? You don't give me face!"
The abuser pushed the woman onto the sofa, grabbed her hair and shouted, "I spent so much money, you have to do whatever I tell you to do!"
The woman was torn by his hair, screaming in pain, but the people around her laughed.
Such a scene happened in front of them, but no one in the lobby stepped forward to stop it. A few people sighed and left, thinking that it was better to ignore it.
"How unreasonable!"
Liszt was about to go over, but was stopped by his companion McKinley.
McKinley asked the two hostesses in Jiaowan language: "What are those people?"
The two hostesses looked at their sisters' experience, their bodies trembling, but their faces were helpless.
After hearing McKinley's question, one of them said, "Guests, don't provoke them. Those people are members of the purification team under the church."
Purification team? Liszt and McKinley frowned. It was the second time they heard the name of this organization.
No mistakes in one song, one post, one content, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!
"Is it the purification team conducting a witch hunt?"
"Yes." Another hostess said fearfully: "If you provoke them, you might become a suspect in their mouth! You will... be put on the stake."
Lister and McKinley were very surprised. Even though they knew that there was a witch hunt in Horn Bay, they still thought that what happened last night was just a low-probability event. However, from the two hostesses, it can be concluded that the witch hunt seems to have been very widespread, especially the impact on civilian life.
McKinley sighed: "I didn't encounter it when I came to Niceburg last time. I didn't expect that it has only been a few months..."
He grabbed Lister's sleeve tightly: "Don't be impulsive, do you want to die?" This guy actually wanted to go over to uphold justice. Was he drunk?
"Let me go!" Lister looked angry, "I can't get the antidote anyway, so let me sacrifice myself for justice!"
He suddenly exerted force, broke free from McKinley's hand, rushed to the side of the abuser, and shouted fearlessly at the other party who was a head taller than him: "Are you still a man? You actually bullied a woman?"
The other party stopped torturing the woman - her face was bruised and purple, and she could no longer see her original appearance - turned around and glared at Lister. The fierce eyes made him shudder and sobered up a little.
A rude voice came into his ears: "You foreign red man, what were you talking about just now?"
Just now, in his indignation, Lister used Ordo language.
"I... I said... you... you as a man can't... you can't do this to women."
Lister switched to the Horned Bay language, and because of his lack of proficiency and suppressed momentum, he stammered out these words.
The other customers in the lobby looked at this foreigner who couldn't even speak properly with shocked eyes. Some admired him, some were ashamed, some were disdainful, and some felt that things were going to get out of hand and ran away quickly.
"Hahaha!"
After a brief shock, the accomplice of the abuser burst into laughter.
"Quintus! You are despised by this Aldo!"
"Let this Yankee teach Quintus how to be a gentleman."
"I like to watch the hero saving the beauty the most."
The accomplice's teasing made the abuser, who was called Quintus, blush. Obviously, he was unhappy.
Quintus waved his fist: "Aldo boy, it seems that I have to teach you how to abide by the rules - the rules of Master Quintus!"
Then he clenched his fist, and his knuckles cracked.
Liszt swallowed and sobered up. He realized that he was a little too impulsive.
McKinley, run away by yourself.
