Chapter 381: Crime Against Heaven
Su Mo couldn't tell whether Luo's words meant what they said on the surface or whether they had some hidden meaning.
As mentioned before, this is a kind but extremely cruel person. She has no personal feelings and does not care about any individual gain or loss.
Do you think that if you act brave, righteous, and agree with her, she will definitely treat you well?
wrong.
How she treats you depends purely on the position she leaves for you on the chessboard.
In order to achieve her goal, she can associate with beasts and scum and hold up those evil people.
She can also kill the righteous without mercy to maintain the situation she needs.
Of course, the reverse is also possible, it just depends on how she wants to play the game.
The thoughts of this kind of person are elusive. Before the results come out, it is difficult for you to guess what she wants to do.
Su Mo was facing the same situation. He didn't know what Luo was going to do.
Maybe there was some hidden meaning in arresting those people.
Or maybe she was preparing to further consolidate her position in the court, penetrate deeper into the heart of power, and need to add great achievements, so she really sacrificed these righteous people as sacrifices.
No matter what the other party's intentions were, Su Mo did not sit back and wait for death. He planned to test the tone first: "Miss Luo, we just did what we thought was right. It was not illegal or immoral. Isn't it too much to kill them all?"
Luo picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said calmly: "The world is like this. Only by following the trend can you go smoothly, and going against the trend has a price. People like you who have climbed up from the bottom must be more sympathetic."
“If you knew the cost was unbearable, why did you do it in the first place?”
Su Mo: "It's not that we still do it even though we know it's unbearable, but we believe that no matter how dark the place is, there will be light."
"If no one dares to stand up in the face of a mere ferocious beast, and even if they stand up, they will be punished by Queen Qiu. If one day we face a bigger enemy in the future, who can we expect to stand up?"
It has been 153 years since the first year of Dawn. The truth of that doomsday war has long been covered up, and not many people know the existence of the "construct" species.
As for ferocious beasts, they may pose a certain threat, but if humans were determined to eliminate them at all costs, these savage animals would have become extinct long ago.
It can be said that, looking at the entire world, humans are the creatures at the top of the food chain and have no natural enemies.
So what does the phrase "bigger enemy" refer to? It’s very intriguing.
Luo fell into a rare silence. His golden eyes were so deep that he couldn't see the bottom, and he just looked into Su Mo's eyes silently.
Neither of them spoke, and they stared at each other in deathly silence, like two highly skilled swordsmen confronting each other, both trying to find the weakness in the other's posture in order to see through the other's heart.
I don’t know how long it took, but Luo finally broke the oppressive silence. She drank the tea in the cup, leaned back on the chair and sighed softly, with a little tiredness appearing in her expression.
"Captain Su, I have been a little tired from fighting with so many people in the past half month. How about you be considerate of me?"
Su Mo asked doubtfully, "How can I be considerate?"
Luo shrugged: "Mo Xue can make written documents clean. I think the edges will only be more beautiful. Spending time on procedures will only be a waste of time."
"In this case, surrender yourself. I have prepared many charges for you. Just admit which one you like. This will save me a lot of time and energy, and I will thank you."
The topic came back here again, and Su Mo said helplessly: "Don't even think about it. Why should I plead guilty to those inexplicable crimes?"
Luo's expression became as resentful as that of a little girl, and his words sounded a bit like coquettish pleading: "Captain Su, you are the only one in the prison, please give me some face."
Su Mo was amused: "I've only heard of giving someone a face to eat, but I've never heard of giving someone a face to go to jail. Don't even think about it."
Luo was silent for a moment, with a look of appreciation in her eyes. She clapped her slender palms and her tone became brisk: "Very good. Congratulations to you for becoming the first person to withstand the test."
"What test?" Su Mo didn't know where this was going.
Luo smiled and waved to him, gesturing for him to come over: "I'll tell you about the test later. I'll give you the gift I prepared first."
"Gift." Su Mo couldn't help but mutter.
According to the original plot of "Dawn", Luo, an important court official, has many good things in her hands. She even has access to the "fifth largest customs clearance item" under the control of the world government.
Su Mo didn't expect Luo Shushou to give him clearance items. After all, the two parties had only known each other for less than an hour, which was unrealistic.
But any of the good things in Luo's hands were very useful, and Su Mo was also very curious about what gift she wanted to give herself.
When Su Mo walked to Luo, she tilted her head towards the door, as if listening to what was going on outside.
After making sure that the partition wall had no ears, she lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "Put your hands on my waist."
Su Mo: "What?"
Luo: "I'll give you the gift."
Su Mo: "Just give it to me."
Luo: "This gift is quite special. We need to be in contact when it is activated. Come on, put your hand on my waist."
Su Mo was immediately confused: "What is so mysterious?"
Luo glanced at his watch and said in an urging tone: "Quick, there's no time. I have a meeting later. I'll give you the gift quickly. I'm leaving."
Su Mo was doubtful and placed his hands on both sides of Luo Yingying's waist.
"Click, click." Almost at the same time, Luo whipped out a handcuff from under his sleeve and locked Su Mo's hands.
Su Mo: "?"
He raised his head and saw Luo's fox-like eyes full of sly smiles.
Su Mo: "What do you mean?"
Luo: "You're under arrest."
Su Mo: "Why?!"
Luo: "Forcibly touching other people's body parts against their will. In other words -"
She leaned close to Su Mo's ear, breathed out warm heat from her red lips, and slowly said three words: "Obscenity crime."
Su Mo: "???"
He tried to struggle, but the cuffs were specially made and he couldn't tear them open even with his strength.
He couldn't help shouting: "What's against another person's will? What's forced touching? It was obviously you who asked me to put my hands on your waist! It was you who let me go!"
Luo: "Oh, just because I give in doesn't mean I agree."
Su Mo: "What the hell are you doing??!!"
Looking at the furious Su Mo, Luo laughed out loud. She seemed to be having a great time, and her eyes turned into crescent moons with smiles: "Captain Su, you are really the most deceitful boy I have ever seen."
She reached out and grasped the middle part of Su Mo's handcuffs. She moved very gently and led him out: "Let's go. I'll take you to reunite with the others."
The Royal Special Prison in the Municipal Center District is Crescent City's famous "noble prison". It is specially designed to imprison big shots. Those sent here are rich people, celebrities, well-known entrepreneurs, or fallen government officials. .
The outer walls of the prison are made of solid reinforced concrete, with high-voltage barbed wire surrounding the top. Guard towers are built every 100 meters to protect the order and safety of the prison.
Compared with the dirty and messy environment of those low-level prisons, the hardware conditions here are much better. There are neatly arranged single cells inside the prison. The space is not large, about 20 square meters, but all the necessary living furniture are complete.
If it weren't for the high-tech monitoring equipment in the room, and the fact that every piece of furniture, including the walls, was covered with soft sponge, this place would be no different from a small hotel outside.
During this period, those arrested by Luo were all imprisoned in the Royal Special Prison. At first, they would yell and curse, and some even lost control of their emotions and hit the iron bars wrapped in sponge in an attempt to escape.
But they found that no matter how much trouble they made, it was useless. The soldiers from the Shangting Guards outside never paid attention to them.
This group of people have developed a good concentration. Even if their mother is greeted for more than ten hours a day, they always go in one ear and out the other. Except for the changing of the guard, each one of them is stationed there motionless like a statue.
Everyone has been struggling for half a month and is really tired. Recently, they have all stopped.
"squeak--"
As the sound of metal friction came, the iron door leading to the corridor was opened, indicating that someone else had been arrested.
When everyone saw the "new inmate" wearing handcuffs, they all sighed.
It was none other than Su Mo. He had a stern face and a sinister expression as if he was about to drip water. He was pushed into a cell.
Sumer's cell faced Shangguanli, and Odiana and Schenkov were next to each other.
Shangguan Li looked at Su Mo and said dejectedly: "Originally I had hope that you could help everyone turn things around outside, but I didn't expect you to be imprisoned as well. What charges did that woman accuse you of?"
A mercenary leader not far away answered: "What other charges could there be? It's too easy to find trouble with our mercenaries. It's nothing more than smuggling, illegal business, and murder."
"You think so, Captain Su."
Su Mo didn't want to speak.
At this time, a plain-looking man walked in from behind the corridor door. He had buck teeth and green eyes. He looked a bit wretched, but judging from the badge on his uniform, there was no doubt that he was the warden here.
"Haha, it's really lively. This is the first time my prison has admitted so many people at once."
The warden walked back and forth in the corridor with the documents, his eyes falling on the faces of the prisoners standing or leaning against the cell doors from time to time, as if he was admiring the collections.
He walked to Schenkov's cell door and said with a sinister smile: "Hey, isn't this the director of our General Public Security Bureau? I haven't seen him for a few days. Why?"
"You used to be able to send people to jail just by saying something, but now you're in jail yourself. Haha, what's this called? This is called retribution!"
"Let me take a look, your crime is, let me go, malicious bodily harm? How dare you hit our respected special commissioner with a cup? Wait, you will suffer if you fall into my hands!"
The warden walked to the door of O'Diana's cell again, and his tone became sad: "Oh, Countess, I really didn't expect to meet you here."
"Back then, I fell in love with you at first sight at a banquet. I finally found an acquaintance to get your contact information. I called you a kneeling lick and asked you good morning and good night every day. But what happened? You didn't even reply, but later on you directly I blocked him."
"How do you say that? Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river. Don't bully young people into poverty. Now I am a guest and you are a prisoner. This reversal of status is really touching."
O'Diana glanced at him strangely, and after a while she muttered: "Who are you?"
The warden almost lost his breath. He pointed at O'Diana's nose and gritted his teeth and said, "Wait and see how I deal with you then."
After he finished his cruel words, he looked at Shangguan Li and sneered: "Shangguan Li, haha, I heard that you not only opened a mercenary group, but also recruited a bunch of disciples to practice martial arts with you."
"I laughed. It's the 153rd year of Dawn. Shorty, times have changed. Why are you still practicing martial arts? Isn't it true that only fools believe in martial arts? Isn't there really a stupid person who would pay money to learn this thing?"
After saying that, his whole body convulsed as if he was electrocuted, he kept kicking his feet, waving his hands up and down, and used a set of five lightning whips to humiliate Shangguan Li with such funny actions.
Shangguan Li was so angry that he gritted his teeth and punched the wall, but he didn't dare to cause trouble in other people's territory. He could only look at the clown in front of him reluctantly.
The warden liked the way he looked unhappy but could not kill him. He smiled sarcastically and said, "Little Douding, look at how cowardly you are."
After mocking Shangguan Li, he looked at Su Mo who had just been locked up and snorted coldly: "Su Mo, I know you. You should be the biggest celebrity here."
"Let me see how you got in."
The warden took out Su Mo's document and looked through it. His eyes scanned the line of information, and finally landed on the list of [Crime].
Those mung bean eyes suddenly opened wider than a copper bell: "Indecent and obscene special commissioner???"
In an instant, it was like a sharp blade slashed through him, cutting off the sound in the prison area.
All the prisoners crowded their heads against the cell door, staring blankly at Su Mo's cell with their mouths wide open in disbelief.
Gradually, the atmosphere began to heat up rapidly, and laughter exploded like fireworks.
"Ah ha ha ha! What the hell? Did I hear it right? Obscene commissioner???"
"I like to hear detailed obscene talk, so hurry up!"
"Awesome, Captain Su, we were all harmed here. Did you really kill him, co-author?"
"If you ask me, Zhou Hannian is just a fool. The true king of mercenaries has to look up to me, Captain Su! I'm so proud of my brothers, hahahahaha!"
Wild laughter broke out one after another. Even Shangguan Li, who had always been serious, was so happy that he beat the wall crazily and laughed like a pig. The prison area was filled with joy.
When everyone burst into laughter, Su Mo discovered that the normally stern O'Diana next door was actually laughing from ear to ear.
He rolled his eyes and said feebly: "Countess, it's okay if others are making fun of you, why are you laughing too? I've obviously been tricked!"
O'Diana laughed and said, "I know you must have been tricked by that woman, but this rhetoric is still so funny, hahahaha!"
She laughed so hard that she almost burst into tears, slapping her thighs.
Su Mo squatted by the door with his knees in his arms, and fell into isolation amidst the bursts of laughter. (End of chapter)
