Chapter 184: The Wind Chime Corpses
Huzhou Stadium, a place that could accommodate eighty thousand people, had hosted various high-level sports competitions before the disaster.
But now it had been converted into the Dawn Society’s public judgment ground. Every few days, a batch of people would be judged here. Those with grave sins would be hung in the square for public display, while those with lesser sins would be hung around the perimeter.
At this moment, Tang Ze could already see the stadium in the distance. But as he got closer, he saw that the streetlights were actually hung with corpses. These corpses were frozen solid, swaying gently with the cold wind. Their ages ranged from young to old.
Especially when he turned a corner, the kilometer-long road was filled with shocking corpses. Even Tang Ze couldn’t help but frown. Death was just a matter of one’s head hitting the ground, but here it was used to consolidate power.
He looked at the young man beside him. There was not a trace of discomfort in his eyes. Instead, they radiated a fervent heat. His hands were crossed over his chest as if in prayer.
“What crimes did these people commit?” Tang Ze asked curiously.
The young man looked at Tang Ze with confusion. “Are you from out of town?”
“Yes.”
“No wonder. Then you should hurry up and join the Dawn Society. Otherwise, you’ll be judged just like them. Most of these people were unwilling to join the Dawn Society, and some were even against it. How abominable!” As he spoke, a look of disgust appeared in the young man’s eyes.
“Oh? Against the Dawn Society?”
“Yes. These are the resistance organizations of Huzhou. They don’t even think about who it was that made Huzhou what it is today. It was the Saintess’s prayers, the Saintess’s protection, the Saintess’s glory. We are all the Saintess’s children and will survive this disaster. May the Saintess enjoy ten thousand years of blessings, her lifespan equal to that of the gods.”
The more the young man spoke, the more excited he became. He actually bowed toward the Dawn Society’s building.
The curve of Tang Ze’s lips grew wider. He was really looking forward to meeting the Saintess. So ruthless, to be able to brainwash an ordinary person to this extent. This was much stronger than Big Mengmeng.
Big Mengmeng was still too kind, only staying at the level of food. But look at the Saintess. The entire stadium was hung with corpses. There was not a trace of fear on anyone’s face, only brilliant smiles, and hatred for the corpses, as well as reverence for the Saintess.
Tang Ze had thought his own moral compass was already destroyed, but seeing this scene, he realized there was no lower limit. Because the stadium was circular, the corpses were hung in a circle along the edge, with wind chimes hanging from their feet.
As the cold wind blew, the swaying corpses produced a crisp tinkling sound, as if the dead were repenting for their sins in life. The Saintess’s methods were outrageous.
Tang Ze decided he had to call the girls over to see how merciful he was. To see how ruthless others could be. This was a true visual shock, making one’s scalp tingle.
All around, the crowd surged, singing praises of the Saintess’s greatness, showing no mercy for these dead people. Perhaps in their hearts, they felt that resisting the Saintess could only be atoned for by death.
In the largest VIP room in the center of the stadium, the Saintess wore a golden crown, a white dress adorned with golden stripes. It was such a simple combination, yet it made her look sacred and inviolable.
Watching her citizens walk into the stadium one after another and bow to her, the Saintess had only one word in her heart at this moment.
Awesome.
So awesome.
It was truly thanks to this disaster that she had completed her class leap, becoming the sole faith in the hearts of all the citizens of Huzhou.
And behind the Saintess knelt several men.
One of them was a familiar person, Qiu Feiguo.
He was no longer a group leader now, but the Grand Judge.
This was all thanks to the President’s lobbying. After a whole night of effort, he had finally persuaded Qiu Feiguo. After all, the position of Grand Judge was too tempting, so Qiu Feiguo had once again bet on his future.
Especially one sentence from Nie Shun had completely moved Qiu Feiguo.
“Old Qiu, do you really think that if the company controls Huzhou, you can sit in the position of Grand Judge? But I can let you sit there right now.”
Qiu Feiguo immediately found Wang Shan and gave him the position of law enforcement team leader, promoting him directly from squad leader to group leader. This was so tempting.
Wasn’t the fundamental reason for rebellion that he thought he was going to be judged? Now he was being told that he didn’t have to be responsible and could even be promoted.
He agreed without a second thought. It seemed power was still greater than strength.
Wang Shan naturally went to find Huo Fu and Zhou Yang. Huo Fu, you used to be a car leader, now you’re the leader of the 7th group. Zhou Yang was directly promoted to car leader.
The leader of the 7th group. This temptation was truly maxed out. People really couldn’t resist the desire for power. Ordinary people simply couldn’t imagine how much power a squad leader had.
After two seconds of consideration, Huo Fu directly nodded and agreed to take the position.
However, Zhou Yang refused.
He had originally thought the bullying was over, but now he was being told it would continue. Anyway, he had had his fun last night. These treacherous things would definitely not have a good end.
Indeed, one by one they had rebelled yesterday, and one by one they had come back this morning.
In the final analysis, they were afraid of taking responsibility. Hearing that they didn’t have to, who would be willing to rebel?
They even thought that this wasn’t a rebellion. The Dawn Society and the company were originally in a cooperative relationship.
As Tang Ze walked into the stadium, a square platform had been built in the center. The ground around the platform was a sea of red.
“Brother, work hard in the future, and you won’t be judged. If you do well, you might even be rewarded with holy water by the Saintess.”
Hearing this, Tang Ze asked curiously, “What’s holy water?”
“The holy water is something the Saintess prayed to God for. I heard that drinking the holy water can grant great power and be heavily relied upon by the Saintess. It’s such an honor to solve problems for the Saintess. I’m even willing to sweep away a speck of dust from under the Saintess’s feet.”
Tang Ze: “…”
“Is that for real?” Tang Ze was very suspicious. It wasn’t the virus, was it?
The young man immediately chided, “How can you question the Saintess? We saw it with our own eyes back then. After the Governor drank the holy water, he could lift a car and throw it. Is that something an ordinary person can do?”
Tang Ze’s first thought was that this Saintess and the Governor were putting on a show. The Governor was originally a virus-fused person. The so-called holy water was just a means to deceive these ordinary people.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, not as good as my holy water. The girls all say it’s good, and it really improves their strength, unlike these fakes.
“The judgment begins!”
With a heavy voice, a person appeared on the large screen at the scene.
It was precisely Qiu Feiguo, the Grand Judge.
Tang Ze just smiled when he saw Qiu Feiguo, then his gaze turned to the main stage.
The President, Vice President, Governor, and Grand Judge were all sitting there. His gaze moved slightly upward. Behind the floor-to-ceiling window stood a graceful white figure.
That should be the Saintess. Then let me tear off her disguise and blaspheme her in front of her people.
