Undercover pirate, you can become stronger by killing enemies

Zhang Lie sat on a chair, and the others stood opposite him. In front of him lay Ed's body, and behind him were the villagers who died with their eyes open.

Ed's mental state was obviously problematic, but even if he was mentally ill, didn't he have to pay the price for his actions?

Normal people have to take responsibility, not to mention uncontrolled mental illness. Whether it is in terms of taking responsibility for their actions or in terms of social stability, there should be no difference in treatment.

If mental problems can reduce the punishment, can the pain of the injured person be alleviated? If not, then the punishment cannot be reduced.

Zhang Lie was thinking about the situation here, because he saw Ed's identity on the panel. He was the pirate named Camor from last night.

Kalifa broke the silence and said with some concern:"BOSS, what should we do next? The current environment restricts us too much."

This sentence pulled Zhang Lie back to reality from his thoughts, and he immediately had a headache. Just like Kalifa said, he couldn't even tell the direction, let alone fight.

"Let's try again after daybreak. If it doesn't work, we can only wait. It's a pity that we should have asked Ajin to come. He is a naturalist and more suitable for the current situation."

As soon as the voice fell, Ed's body in front of him suddenly moved. Zhang Lie jumped behind him, grabbed the chair with both hands as a cover, and stared at Ed's body.

Others thought Ed was not dead and felt a little strange, but only Zhang Lie knew that this guy was really dead. His name was on the panel, so there was no reason for him to survive.

But now the body is moving. At first it was just trembling, and the amplitude became larger and larger, and finally it sat up suddenly.

Zhang Lie showed half of his head and asked,"Who are you?"

Ed's body spoke, but his voice was a little empty and ethereal:

"Since you've figured it out, I won't hide it from you. My name is Hayward, the guardian of this island, or the devil as they call it."

Zhang Lie looked around, then looked at 'Ed', and finally walked out from behind the chair, sat down again, leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs and started shaking:

"If I'm not mistaken, Ed standing up was an illusion."

"Indeed, Ed is the medium through which I can communicate with you. Although he is dead, I found him early and can still receive sounds through his corpse."

Zhang Lie thought for a moment and asked tentatively,"Observation Haki?""

"Is this called seeing and hearing? I can indeed see the image of the whole island, but I can't hear it."

"Why is it so troublesome? Can't you just come over?"

"Sorry, I have some health problems, so this is the only way." Hayward said:"And I'm not sure if you can meet the requirements, I need to see"

""Okay, you have the ability to see things, so you should know that we are pirates. Based on the past two days, I know your attitude towards pirates, such as this Ed Kamoer."

This opponent was obviously very strong, and Zhang Lie needed more information, so he asked tentatively:

"What is your purpose?"

"It seems that there is some grudge, but that is normal, so just say it out loud." Hayward said, not knowing whether it was true or not:

"Your strength is acceptable and your heart is kind, so I am considering whether to let you guard this island."

"Kindness! ? ? ?"

Martin screamed, and then Zhang Lie glared back at him:

"Don't mind that guy, just keep talking"

‘Ed glanced at Martin, turned his head and continued:"It seems that you have another side, but it doesn't matter, I believe in my own eyes, and behavior and nature are two different things.

Let's get back to the topic. I have guarded this island for twenty years.

In these twenty years, there are no high-ranking nobles, no officials who suck the marrow out of people, no lazy garbage, no parasites who disturb the people for no reason, no dangers of wild beasts, and no hidden dangers of enemies at sea.

No one has died of hunger, cold or accidents. What do you think?"

Zhang Lie did not answer, but asked:"How did you do this kind of thing?"

"Haha, this is my ability. The nobles and officials have always been full of evil. Those at the top can be killed, and the descendants and those who benefit can be controlled by my ability.

Although most of the people are kind, people are like this. No matter what their identity or situation, there are always some corrupt people. Give them rules and force them to obey with ability and force."

At this point, 'Ed' pointed to the distance outside the door and said:

"See the fog? This is my ability. I can create illusions and affect the senses and spirits of people and animals. Wild animals cannot escape the fog, the island cannot be seen from outside, and the people cannot escape the fog.

Those who have redeemed themselves are restricted to live in it. After being under the influence of my ability for a long time, their consciousness is penetrated by me. They want to atone for their past sins from the bottom of their hearts and become the best managers."

"Using illusions to rule the island, no wonder I have never heard of this place." Zhang Lie understood,"But who is the Redeemer?"

"At first, they were descendants of nobles and minions, and later some pirates joined, such as this Ed."

"Isn't it isolated from the outside world? How come there are still pirates coming in? The same purpose as now?"Zhang Lie was stunned.

"Of course not. Although the island is isolated from the outside world, information cannot be cut off. We must eventually understand what is happening outside.

If this person is kind, then it is okay to let them go, such as Roger. But if it is like Ed, then the Redeemer will just need some fresh blood."

Zhang Lie pulled the corner of his mouth. Although he didn't know how strong Roger was at the time, if they really fought, then Hayward would definitely lose, and there would be no current events.

But let's not talk about the past. Now Zhang Lie needs to protect himself:

"I see. Look, you also approve of my character, otherwise you wouldn't let me take over. But I don't have any intention. Can we break up peacefully and go our separate ways? I promise not to tell anyone."

‘Ed smiled and said,"Take over, or die, you choose one."

"Tsk, then there is no choice." Zhang Lie spread his hands and grasped the handle of the chair,"Then what are you going to do next? Let me be prepared."

"I have prepared four tests for my successor, corresponding to character, wisdom, will and strength. The character has been completed, and the next is wisdom. I hope you can pass it."

After saying this, 'Ed' slowly lay down, and it seemed that Hayward began to lift the illusion.

At the last moment, Zhang Lie suddenly asked:"What should we do with this person?"

‘Ed's movements did not stop, only one voice echoed around:

"If you break the rules, you will die. Otherwise, the order will collapse and the redeemer will come to collect the bodies."

When everything returned to normal, everyone was silent for a while. Erha was the first to say:

"Captain, what should we do next? Should we really participate in that trial?"

Zhang Lie glanced at him and said,"What else can we do if we don't participate? We can't get out, and we don't know where Hayward is. We can only get here because this guy is sleeping and didn't notice our actions. Sigh~"

Bruno nodded and said,"That's right, we didn't notice anything unusual when we fell into the illusion just now."

"It's very troublesome." Zhang Lie rubbed his temple,"Even if I meet him in the trial, I'm afraid I won't be his opponent. There is too little information."
