Chapter 262: The Massacre in the City
When Mike opened his eyes again, his vision had gone from blurry to clear.
But even so, he still felt as if he had lost something in his memory.
Suddenly, a huge golden light beam descended upon him.
Mike felt his body being completely bathed in the golden beam of light.
At that moment, his memory began to gradually recover.
“I’m… going back to Lecter City… right…”
As he said this, Mike also forced himself to walk towards Lecter City.
In Lecter City.
The people had just experienced a disaster.
Broken and crumbling buildings, numerous collapsed houses filled the whole of Lecter City.
On the main street of Lecter City, an uncountable number of corpses lay on both sides of the road.
However, on the streets, only a few Fierce Beast remains could be seen.
Mike was currently not far from Lecter City.
Looking at the smoke rising and falling in front of the city gate.
“This… How could this be?”
Mike noticed that countless heads were hanging high above the mast on the city gates of Lecter City.
Mike clearly remembered the original owners of these heads, which all seemed to belong to the indigenous people of Lecter City.
These people were accompanied by their servants.
Then, there were the traders who operated their own small businesses in the city.
There were even quite a number of women of various ages, and children.
Mike looked at the scene in front of him in horror. He could not believe what he was seeing.
At the moment, he did not know what reason these people died for.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Mike felt a sharp pain in his head again.
“Why… Why can’t I remember anything?”
As he said that, Mike silently walked into Lecter City with an uneasy heart.
There were very few people on the main street of the city. All that could be seen were countless corpses.
Mike looked at the many corpses and the indistinct Fierce Beasts on the streets, and could not help but suck in a cold breath.
Suddenly, a group of people fighting over the remains of the Fierce Beasts flashed before Mike’s eyes.
Mike hurriedly went forward, stopped one of the young men, and asked, “May I ask what happened in Lecter City? Where are the people here?”
The young man looked at Mike’s attire and grinned.
“You haven’t been here for long, right? I can tell you that although Lecter City was attacked by Fierce Beasts and betrayed by the throne, we humans can not be defeated. Did you know that?”
Mike looked at the proud young man in front of him and continued to question him.
“When I entered the city earlier, I saw the heads of many people who used to live in Lecter City hanging on the city gate. What’s going on?”
“If it wasn’t for the Throne and that damned overlord beast sending airships to bombard Lecter City, how could we have suffered such heavy casualties? Fortunately, our demon hunter Mike killed that evil lord beast, which ended this crisis. As for the people from the Throne… They betrayed us. Don’t they deserve to die?”
“Those were the people on the Throne? What is this Throne you speak of?”
Mike could not help but ask.
Hearing Mike’s words, the man smiled.
“The Throne is a powerful organization built by the dictators of this world, but their power is now gradually declining.”
As Mike looked at the young man who spoke so generously in front of him, waves of complicated thoughts appeared in his heart once again.
“Little brother… Little brother…”
Hearing that person calling him, Mike once again woke up from his earlier thoughts.
“Are you alright?”
Mike looked at the young man in front of him and spoke once again.
“I… I’m fine…”
The young man smiled once again after hearing Mike’s words.
Then he looked at Mike and said, “I suggest you go to Lecter Square now. There is an interesting game going on there!”
When he heard the young man’s words, Mike became anxious.
However, he did not know why he was feeling so anxious.
After simply thanking the young man, Mike rushed to Lecter Square without stopping. The scenes in front of him shocked Mike’s worldview once again.
In the middle of Lecter Square, there was a huge arena.
The floor of the arena had long been stained red with the blood of countless corpses, heads, and even young girls who had been tortured to death.
In the arena, a few blue star people dressed in simple clothes were wantonly trampling on the miracle workers who were waiting for execution.
They casually slapped the miracle workers’ faces, as their saliva flew everywhere. Countless curses filled the entire square.
“The next person to be executed will be the proud son of heaven from our Tailun Academy, Ferdy!”
Ferdy’s face was ashen as he bent his neck and crouched in the groove of the decapitation frame.
“I remember that this kid was very eager to join the Throne!”
“That’s right, this scum must die a horrible death!”
The people below the stage wantonly insulted Ferdy.
Mike looked at these people who thought themselves to be righteous and suddenly felt a wave of nausea.
In the past, when he had faced the Fierce Beasts, no matter how bloody the scene was, he had never had such a feeling before.
“Ferdy’s crime is unforgivable. The time has come. Execute him!”
The executioner on the stage nimbly raised the machete in his hand. In an instant, Ferdy’s head was separated from his body, and his blood splattered onto the stage.
The people below applauded. Some cheered while some shouted.
It was as if everyone was celebrating the end of the Throne with endless violence.
Mike could no longer endure the senseless killing, but even so, there was nothing he could do.
At that moment, he had completely forgotten where he was going next.
Suddenly, Mike saw a pained face belonging to a person who seemed to be dressed as a maid.
The maid lay dying near the bottom of the arena.
Although Mike did not know why, he continued to walk in that direction.
Mike noticed that the maid seemed to still be breathing.
The maid’s clothes were torn, and the blood on her body had stained her white clothes red.
Mike looked at the maid and was about to say something when the maid took the lead to speak to him first.
“You d*mned fellow! You can kill me or cut me up, if you want!”
The maid still had the last bit of rationality left in her and was eager to preserve her last bit of dignity.
When Mike heard the maid’s words, the thoughts in his heart began to blur.
Then, he suddenly thought of something.
Hence, he tentatively asked the maid, “Don’t you remember me? I’m Mike!”
When the maid heard Mike’s words, she smiled contemptuously.
“Mike? Who’s Mike? Don’t even think about coming close to me!”
As she spoke, the maid suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood onto Mike’s face.
At this moment, a voice sounded in Mike’s ear.
“Young man, there’s no need to pity people who joined the Throne! If it wasn’t for them, how could we have gone through such suffering?”
