Alien world

Chapter 1586 Chapter 220. Choice
“I did these things.”

Without quibbling or resisting, Griffin simply admitted his mistake.

Annan's eyes were filled with undisguised disgust and disappointment: "Luo Xi, arrest him and send him to Liberty City Prison."

Losey walked over nervously and put the magic-suppressing ring on Griffin. He did not resist during the whole process.

"Let's go."

Losey escorted Griffin out of the potion workshop, and Annan followed behind. When they were about to go out, the door of the alchemy room opened.

Tyr saw what happened just now. He summoned up the courage to ask, "Lord Annan, could it be a misunderstanding? Professor Griffin has been teaching us carefully, and..."

Annan shook his head: "Griffin himself admitted that he was the murderer."

Tyr shook himself as if exhausted, and Annan shook his head and walked out.

With his head full of confused thoughts, Tyr shook his head vigorously, took a few deep breaths, and returned to the alchemy room.

"What's going on?" a classmate asked him, "It seems that Lord Annan is here?"

Tyr forced a smile and said, "Lord Annan has assigned a task to the professor. We will conduct independent experiments in the next few days. Perform well and strive to complete the mass production of energy potion before the professor comes back, so as to give Lord Annan and the professor a surprise..."

……

bang.

The jailer closed the cell door and checked that it was locked before leaving.

Griffin was the only one in the cell. Because of his status and dangerousness, he was entitled to a separate cell.

In the prison, in the interrogation room, Yingge talked about the crimes committed by Griffin: "At least hundreds of people are missing and are related to him..."

The densely packed names in the intelligence overlapped with the notes from that day, making Annan feel a little nauseous.

No one likes someone who does whatever they want...

The residents would not accept that their neighbor was a bandit, and the lord would not accept that he had a subject who ignored the rules, but... until he was caught, Griffin had no hostility towards Liberty City.

He truly agrees with the ideals of Liberty City and wants to fight for it.

It was like a dragon that had done so many evil things was willing to lower its proud head for you, which made Annan extremely conflicted...

"Yingge, do you have any ideas?"

"what?"

"He captured so many people for his evil experiments."

Yingge asked tentatively, "Is the victim someone you know?"

Annan shook his head: "No. I am struggling. Griffin has no ill will towards us and is useful to Liberty City, but he has committed an unforgivable sin..."

"that is it?"

"Just?" Annan emphasized.

What? The deputy warden of Liberty City actually robbed the prison?

Yingge hesitated to speak, and Annan said, "Just say whatever you want to say."

"I just feel that although he made a mistake, he didn't make it under the rule of Liberty City..."

"Is there a difference?"

"Of course, for example, if all professionals are guilty of murder, all professionals in the city will have to be included. Those who have killed only a few people may have to wait in line."

Yingge gave an example: "For example, the Punishment Legion, you simply brought them out of the dungeon, and each of them is the nemesis of justice."

"So they have been atonement." Annan argued. "Can their actions really atone for their past sins?" Yingge couldn't help but ask, "And the dark elves, simple killing can no longer satisfy them. Compared to their evil rituals, Griffin is as pure as a newborn baby."

"Since you can tolerate the dark elves and even allow them to come to Liberty City to establish a church, but you cannot accept the Griffins, isn't that hypocritical?"

Before Annan could speak, Yingge interrupted him: "You told me to say it!"

Annan opened his mouth and slumped down in the interrogation chair in frustration.

Yingge was right. Ultimately, those were sins he had committed elsewhere.

Looking at the handsome, pure, and seemingly shrouded in soft light, Annan, sitting among a pile of dirty torture instruments, Yingge blushed for some unknown reason.

“Are you confused?”

"Yes... what you said is true. There are many people who are more evil than Griffin, but I already know what Griffin did. My simple sense of justice makes it impossible for me to pretend not to see it..."

Annan even regretted investigating Griffin's background.

"Lilith, are you there?" He tried to seek help from a third party.

Lilith's projection appeared and said stiffly: "There are too many users consulting at the moment. Please try again later..."

"Uh……"

But soon, Lilith's projection became smart: "What's the matter?"

Annan explained Griffin's situation and his own dilemma, and finally asked, "Lilith, what do you think?"

"Hake Farrell, who conducted forbidden experiments and tried to extract the magical affinity of spellcasters, indirectly led to the deaths of thirteen wizards and was sentenced to 521 years in prison; McSwain, who sacrificed Baron Highlander's family to the devil due to a quarrel; Felix Enze, who conducted forbidden experiments and transplanted a dragon's genitals onto himself and molested several female dragons..."

Lilith paused for three seconds and began to recite a long list of names and deeds. There was no doubt that these were the talents of the Punishment Legion.

When Annan was thinking about whether to arrest some people from the Punishment Legion, Lilith stopped her story and said, "They have been punished and have redeemed themselves."

The so-called punishment was to be locked up in a dungeon for a few years to several decades, and he could get rid of the crime by fighting with the devil.

"Okay... let's do business as usual and let Griffin accept the punishment and atone for his sins."

Annan had already made a decision: let Griffin obtain the forgiveness of the victim's family first.

Commercial streets across the country quickly found the families of the victims for Annan, and then Black Widow took Griffin under her guard to atone for their sins one by one.

Annan said that the family members did not need to care about Liberty City's attitude, but they all chose to forgive and received compensation to forgive Griffin.

Their loved ones have died, but life goes on.

Annan was torn again. On the one hand, he didn't want Griffin to die, but on the other hand, he felt that they were too...cowardly.

"I do not accept."

Finally, when he redeemed himself in a small town called Warm Wind Town, the boy who lost his parents said with red eyes.

If someone does not accept, then he does not forgive.

Griffin was returned to Liberty City and quickly put through his trial.

"Griffin, the charge: conducting inhumane experiments and killing 184 known innocent civilians. According to the laws of Liberty City, he will be sentenced to death by hanging." Yingge changed into the warden's uniform and stood in front of Annan to pronounce the verdict.

"Griffin, do you have any objection to the trial?"

"I have."

Griffin raised his head and looked at Annan from a distance: "Lord Annan, killing the prisoner casually is a waste of life."

"Excuse me, can I use my life to complete the puzzle of science?"
