Chapter 9: Prove your innocence

Views:

Xu Le's sudden voice attracted the attention of the night watchmen.

Normally, ordinary people like him who are stranded outside would either tremble in fear and dare not make a sound at this time.

Or maybe he was really polluted by the ancient sounds and was so confused that he couldn't speak for himself.

This was the first time in recent years that they had seen someone like Xu Le stand up and say loudly and directly that he was fine.

So the Night Watchmen hesitated, and then...

They started discussing how to deal with Xu Le again.

The pause just now was just curiosity, and what Xu Le really wanted to express had been completely ignored by them.

Xu Le knew that this was a question of value.

If they don't demonstrate some value, these people won't even care whether they are polluted or not.

In other words, getting rid of the contaminated person is just an excuse to leave him in the wild.

Xu Le looked calmly at the young team member who had just examined him.

This person is the one he likes the most.

Let's start with him.

“I know you don’t care about the life or death of an ordinary person.

So... Mr. Wang Shu, you have a piece of ancient Yinduo residue on your left leg.

From my perspective, it should be a hidden ghostly weird debris.

Although I don’t know if you care about this kind of thing.

But I guess it would be a bit troublesome to carry these strange fragments back to the lighthouse, right?"

"The Wang Shu you are talking about is me?" Wang Shu pointed at himself and asked uncertainly.

"Yes, it's you." Xu Le nodded.

Wang Shu looked at Xu Le with a bit of confusion, then looked at his other teammates.

It was obvious that the others didn't take Xu Le's words to heart.

He is just an ordinary person. Does he know what is weird? Does he understand how weirdness is formed

It sounds just like the truth, haha!

Wang Shu hesitated for a while, then pointed to his left leg and asked uncertainly:

"You mean here?"

"A little further down."

Xu Le pointed downwards, and just this small action made Wang Shu's eyes become serious.

He had always felt a little itchy on his left leg, but he was not sure whether this itch was related to the strange debris that Xu Le mentioned.

So he deliberately gave a wrong location and asked Xu Le again.

And Xu Le actually pointed out the exact location of the strange debris, which was exactly where his left leg was itchy.

"Captain!" Wang Shu looked at the captain.

The tacit understanding in their daily cooperation made the female captain immediately understand what Wang Shu meant.

She took out something that looked like an ancient women's makeup mirror, walked to Wang Shu, squatted down, and used the mirror to shine light on her left leg.

Soon, a transparent finger, still grabbing Wang Shu's trouser leg, appeared in the mirror.

"Really?" Some team members looked at the finger in surprise.

Their captain had already handed the mirror to Wang Shu and asked him to deal with the debris on his leg himself.

She walked up to Xu Le and raised her hand slightly:

"Okay, you can tell me what you want to say."

Xu Le breathed a sigh of relief. His abilities earned him some respect.

Give him some chance to explain himself.

"Huh, you guys should be members of the Lighthouse Watch, right?"

"yes."

“Although I don’t know what your specific mission is, as a lighthouse watchman, you should abide by the most basic lighthouse civil rights and laws, right

I am right here. Don't you need to ask the person concerned for his opinion before dealing with me?"

The female captain raised her head with interest:

"Do you think you need it?"

Xu Le did not argue about this issue, as it was meaningless.

What he needs to do is to keep himself alive:

“I am a human being, a normal human being, I am not polluted.

In order to prove my innocence, I can accept the most rigorous and detailed inspection of the Lighthouse.

But until then, you have no right to lynch me.

Article 39-4 of the Lighthouse Citizens Act states that the Lighthouse Army has the obligation to rescue scattered Lighthouse citizens in the wild.

As a law-abiding citizen of Beacon, and a student of Beacon University.

I have the right to fight for my life, and these are the most basic treatment I should receive.

If you kill me here without any scruples, it would be a violation of the laws of the lighthouse and the laws of the night watchmen.

Is that ok, Captain?"

Do you think Xu Le is using the law to rebuke the night watchman

It’s too small and the pattern is too small.

Xu Le is actually using the law to prove that he is a normal person.

A person who is polluted by ancient sounds, or an ordinary person, cannot maintain sound and rational thinking.

Especially the complicated laws regarding lighthouses, which no normal person can remember.

Not to mention those who have been polluted by ancient sounds.

This kind of self-proof is much more effective than shouting "I XXX swear, I didn't open..."

Looking at Xu Le who spoke eloquently and clearly, the woman actually took out a lipstick.

She took out her lip gloss and smeared it on herself.

“Well said.”

You know what I said is right, and then what

Xu Le didn't know what this woman meant for a moment.

Until she put away her lipstick and pointed her finger at him:

"Hello, my name is Bai Jing, and I'm the captain of the Night Watch - Dark Pioneer Squad 6 in the B2 area.

So, young man who knows the law, what should I call you?"

Xu Le calmed himself down.

"My name is Xu Le, Xu as in maybe, and Le as in happy."

"Okay, Mr. Xu Le, I know your name now.

You are right, as night watchmen, we should not trample on the laws of the lighthouse.

I also hope that you can, as you said, withstand the most rigorous and detailed inspections after you return!

Finally, do you know why you survived?"

From Bai Jing's words, Xu Le keenly noticed the word "bear".

These two words are extraordinary!

But what is more important now is to answer Bai Jing's question.

"Is this a test?"

"It's not a test."

Looking at the other person's smiling face, Xu Le didn't believe a single punctuation mark.

"I think I should be much better than those guys who kneel down and cry and shout "Don't kill me" when they encounter problems."

"Well, I like this answer very much. It is indeed much stronger."

She was still a little surprised that Xu Le could still maintain such a calm state and clear mind at this time.

Generally speaking, even if they were not contaminated by ancient sounds, most people who appeared here at this time were in a panic.

The quality of this boy in front of me... is not bad.

She stared at Xu Le for a while, until Xu Le felt uncomfortable, then she said with a hint of amusement:

"Your thoughts are clear. Did you study law at Beacon University?"

“I took law as an elective.”

"Well, I heard that those who study law are very good at finance. Can they cook the books?"

"No." Xu Le said sternly.

“Well, the price of a gun that Zion brought over was 45, plus two magazines for 9 bucks.

If I want to ask for reimbursement, how much should I report? "

Xu Le's hesitant eyes showed a hint of inquiry:

"459?"
