Please call me CyberGhost King

Chapter 441 Punishment
"Ha, you kneel down really quickly."

Ke Ling laughed. This "Red Rat Baron" who had been so arrogant just now suddenly gave in. The change was so smooth that it was hard to remain calm.

"But what can you do for me?"

Ke Ling asked the "Red Rat Baron" with a smile on his face.

"We are very familiar with Zaun! The people in our gang are all from the Digou District. They can definitely help you. No matter what you want to do, no matter where you come from, when you come to Zaun, you will definitely need the help of the local snakes. With us, you can save a lot of trouble!"

The Red Rat Baron's mind was racing as he spoke and thought. He was wondering what value they could provide to the magician, and why these outsiders came to Zaun.

A magician, it goes without saying that he must be an outsider, because he has never seen anyone who can use magic in Zaun, and he has never even heard of it. That is a power that only exists in legends.

And what is there in Zaun that can attract this magician?
"Red Rat Baron" couldn't figure it out, he had no way of guessing it, it was completely in his blind spot, so he could only keep repeating that he was very useful, and could only keep emphasizing that they were very useful, and emphasizing the local tyrant attributes in them.

"Oh? I see. You guys from the Sump District do seem to be quite useful."

Ke Ling nodded, looking as if he had suddenly realized something, and his reaction made the "Red Rat Baron" ecstatic, thinking that he had found out what the magician cared about.

"But, I am a person with high moral standards and I cannot tolerate dirty things. I need to screen you."

Ke Ling spoke up, which made the "Red Rat Baron" feel nervous again.

"Sifting what?"

"Red Rat Baron" asked. He already had a bad feeling that this was definitely not the result he wanted to hear.

"Of course, we need to screen out the good guys and the bad guys."

Ke Ling showed his teeth and smiled brightly, but it frightened the "Red Rat Baron".

"Good Guy. Bad Guy"

The "Red Rat Baron" was sweating. What kind of people are good people and what kind of people are bad people? Are there any good people in their "Red Rat Gang"?
To be honest, even the "Red Rat Baron" himself is not sure. If we strictly follow the law, then there are definitely no good people among them. But in Zaun, there are no laws at all!

Therefore, whether a person is a good person or a bad person basically depends entirely on the magician's judgment, and he cannot predict it at all.

"Come on, one by one. I'll ask the questions and you answer them."

Ke Ling looked at those alchemist punk thugs. In fact, some of these alchemist punk thugs were obviously not convinced.

It can be seen that some of them are eager to try. If the "Red Rat Baron" had not been controlled by Ke Ling, these guys would definitely not surrender. They would definitely come up and fight first, and only choose to surrender if they cannot win.

"Boss! What should we do?!"

Ke Ling issued the order, but the alchemist punk thugs had no intention of obeying it. They all looked at the "Red Rat Baron", waiting for the order from their boss. Should they just fight to the death or just obey the other party's orders?

"obey orders."

"Red Rat Baron" spoke up and said that he thought he could listen first. If the situation was not right, then he would have to give it a try.

If possible, "Red Rat Baron" really didn't want to conflict with the magician, but things had come to this point, he could only try his best to make amends and strive to reach a reconciliation with the other party.

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no fear of running out of firewood. It is better to endure humiliation and be humble than to die here together. If that happens, there will be no one who can avenge them.

After receiving the order from the "Red Rat Baron", the alchemy punk thugs all gathered together, waiting for Ke Ling to speak.

"First of all, have you ever killed anyone?"

After taking a quick look at these alchemy punk thugs, Ke Ling asked the first question.

As soon as this question came out, the face of "Red Rat Baron" turned ugly. If the distinction between "good guys" and "bad guys" was so simple and crude, then their "Red Rat Gang" would probably be in trouble.

The alchemist punk thugs looked at each other, and finally some of them really stood up. There were nearly two hundred people in total, and it was not surprising that some of them had never killed anyone. After all, not all of them did the dirty work, and some of them were newcomers.

There were only about twenty people who had never killed anyone and stood up.

Ke Ling looked around and nodded. The number of people was a bit small, but the "Red Rat Gang" was in a fighting period, fighting and killing all day long. They had to fight with other gangs and the forces of other alchemy barons. It would be really strange if many people had never killed anyone. There must be a lot of people who were lying.

Ke Ling possessed the [Five Visions Universal Observer], so he was naturally not afraid of these people lying. With just a glance, he knew that these people had never killed anyone.

"Very good, those who have not killed anyone, stand over here."

Ke Ling pointed his finger and asked those who had not killed anyone to stand aside first. At least these people did not have any blood debt on their hands. Maybe they had done some other evil things, but that would be figured out later. Now they were safe.

The crowd was in a commotion, and those who had killed people became nervous. From time to time, they looked at the boss "Red Rat Baron" who was controlled by the shadow tentacles, as if asking what to do.

The "Red Rat Baron" held his breath and decided to be patient and wait and see what this magician was up to.

The main reason is that the magician obviously has no intention of taking action at the moment, so the "Red Rat Baron" can still hold on.

"Among those who have killed people, those who have not killed Zaun civilians, please stand up."

Ke Ling looked at those who had killed people, and then continued to ask, killing is not necessarily a bad thing, at least killing other gang thugs and alchemist punk thugs is not a bad thing, it can even be considered as eliminating harm for the people.

This time, more people stood up than expected. Among the nearly two hundred alchemist punk thugs, more than half stood up, and only a small number, about thirty or forty, did not move.

“Someone is being dishonest.”

After glancing at those people, Ke Ling laughed.

Maybe someone saw that there was no inspection just now, so he took a chance and stood up this time, not caring whether he had killed anyone before or not. He just stood up.

“I hate liars.”

Ke Ling spoke, and then he moved his mind, and countless shadow spikes shot out quickly, piercing all those who had killed civilians, including those who had lied.

To be honest, it was a bit unrealistic for these guys to want to lie to Ke Ling, Tanjiro Kamado, and Sakonji Urokodaki. Do you know what "smelling a lie" means? Do you know what mind reading means?

"Puff puff!"

More than 40 alchemy punk thugs were directly executed by Ke Ling. This scene naturally scared the other alchemy punk thugs. Not only did it scare those people, but it also scared Tanjiro Kamado. He quickly reached out to cover his sister Nezuko Kamado's eyes. In fact, this was really a bit unnecessary. Nezuko Kamado had even seen the scene where her family was killed and eaten by Muzan Kibutsuji. Would she be afraid of this bloody scene?

Even though it sounds a bit hellish to say this, it is the truth. Nezuko Kamado has seen hell, and this kind of scene is nothing to her now. The dead people have nothing to do with her anyway.

"Brother Ke Ling."

Tanjiro Kamado wanted to say something but stopped himself. He felt that this was too cruel. But on second thought, he felt that there was nothing wrong with killing these people. After all, these people had killed civilians in the city of Zaun.

Gang vendettas, alchemist punk thugs fighting and killing each other, that's fine, it can be considered a matter of society, but the indiscriminate killing of civilians is indeed a bit unacceptable.

Even Tanjiro Kamado couldn't say a word to plead for them.

Ke Ling ignored Tanjiro Kamado and continued to look at those alchemy punk thugs.

The execution just now had obviously made them fully understand Ke Ling's power. Those who were eager to try and had some ideas before had now completely given up.

The power displayed by Ke Ling made them lose the idea of ​​resistance. That kind of terrifying attack was something they could not resist at all.

"."

"Red Rat Baron" closed his eyes. He could no longer bear to watch.

"Very good, those who have not robbed civilians, please stand up."

Ke Ling spoke again, and his words immediately made many alchemist punk thugs change their expressions. Some of them turned around and ran away in fear, as if they wanted to escape Ke Ling's attack.

"Buzz!"

The shadow tentacles stretched out and pulled back those fleeing guys.

"Why are you running? I didn't say I was going to kill you."

Ke Ling said that those who should be killed had been killed, and the rest could be spared the death penalty. Those who deserved to be punished alive should be punished, so of course they could not be allowed to escape.

The person who escaped was caught, which made those who wanted to escape give up the idea. It was obvious that they could not escape Ke Ling's control and could only accept their fate.

"You guys have done a lot of bad things."

After a quick glance, Ke Ling couldn't help but sigh. There were quite a few people who had robbed civilians. There were only a few who hadn't robbed civilians. Even those who hadn't killed anyone had robbed civilians.

"Return all the money you have stolen, and double the amount. For those who don't remember, I can tell you."

Ke Ling said with a smile that this punishment was definitely not too severe, it was just returning the property to its original owner and the punishment was just some money.

If they don't remember how much they robbed or who they robbed, Ke Ling can help them by searching their memories. This kind of thing is not a difficult task for him at all.

"have you understood?"

Looking at those alchemy punk thugs, Ke Ling asked.

"Understood!"

The Alchemist Punk thugs didn't dare to hesitate and answered quickly one by one. They thought that Ke Ling's treatment was definitely a leniency to them and they felt lucky to be alive.

"How is it? Is this an okay approach?"

Ke Ling looked at the "Red Rat Baron" and asked with a smile. Before the "Red Rat Baron" could answer, Ke Ling continued asking.

"So, have you ever killed any civilians? Have you ever robbed any civilians of their money?"

Ke Ling's words made the Red Rat Baron tremble, and he immediately answered:
"No! Absolutely not!"

"Red Rat Baron" answered with certainty, but he knew in his heart that if Ke Ling wanted to kill him, he still had a very good reason.

It is true that he, the "Red Rat Baron", had never personally killed civilians, nor had he personally robbed civilians of their money. However, when his subordinates killed and robbed people, was there no factor of indulgence on his part? Wasn't it him who issued the order?

Therefore, Ke Ling had every reason to kill him directly and even make it impossible for him to refute.

"That's it, Red Rat. Urge them to complete their tasks."

Ke Ling stared at the "Red Rat Baron" and finally smiled, letting the shadow tentacles let go of this guy. There was no need to kill him. This "Red Rat Baron" could serve as a guide.

Although Ke Ling had indeed watched "League of Legends: The War of Two Cities" and was very familiar with the hero's background story, he actually needed a guide in this real world.

After all, in Zaun City, if you ask him to find the "Folgen Tavern", Ke Ling will definitely not be able to find it, but this "Red Rat Baron" must know it, and they can indeed help.

Killing those people is just to make an example of them and show strength. In fact, Ke Ling is not so "clean-freak" now. He will not kill anyone with a stick just because they have done bad things. It still depends on how useful the person is.

He could even use Rosalind Miles. The number of people who died because of the new American president is so countless.

But the exploitable value of Rosalind Miles can make the world a better place by sacrificing fewer people, so valuable targets should be used, unless they are the kind that Ke Ling particularly dislikes.

No matter how useful it is, Ke Ling already has the current strength. Although he is not to the point of "not eating beef", he still requires a clear mind.

If after becoming stronger you still can't make people you don't like die, then what's the point of becoming stronger?

"Yes, sir!"

After the "Red Rat Baron" was freed, he immediately knelt on the ground and expressed his loyalty to Ke Ling.

"I will definitely urge them to return all the stolen money!"

"Red Rat Baron" said loudly that he would take out all the gang's funds to repay the Zaun civilians who were robbed.

"Aren't there only a few of you?"

Ke Ling said that this was the headquarters of the "Red Rat Gang", but the "Red Rat Gang"'s territory was not limited to this place. The four blocks they controlled must be guarded by someone.
