Chapter 619: Above board
In the ring, the fragmented body was unrecognizable, and the only thing that could be identified was the complete head.
Pale green liquid flowed between the severed limbs, and from the appearance of the piercing scream to the end, the audience didn't seem to understand what was happening.
It wasn't until they woke up from their trance and saw the tragic corpses in the ring that they understood.
"Kill... Killed ....."
"The man is dead...."
"Gross!"
There was a commotion in the audience, and the pungent smell of blood spread from the ring.
The referee was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and at this time, Marenleg immediately rushed to the ring and grabbed the referee's microphone and said solemnly.
"Calm down, don't riot, listen to me, now there is a death in the game**, according to the rules, Miss Scati will be disqualified from the competition, and the scene will be handled by the Royal Knights, now listen to my instructions, all spectators please leave the spectator seats in turn, and the time of the last game will be notified separately."
As soon as Marenleg finished speaking, an officer-like man rushed to the ring with his soldiers and quickly covered Hela's body with a black cloth, while the soldiers in charge of maintaining order in the arena began to drive away the spectators.
Xia Feng stood at the edge of the audience, still holding the Shenyue Knife in his hand.
Looking at the series of official reactions, his expression became more and more solemn.
Something is wrong, this is very wrong.
...
According to the rules of the sword fighting competition, if there is a death** in the competition, the player will be disqualified, which is understandable.
However, Hela's death today is definitely not the first death in this kendo competition**, in previous competitions, including the group stage, there have been accidental deaths of players, but the official handling at that time was not so sensitive.
There has never been a time when a player's death has affected the progress of the subsequent match, and this time, the spectators were asked to leave, which is so strange.
Of course, from his own point of view, it is not at all surprising, because Hela is not an ordinary person, but a "servant of the deep sea".
However, the official should not be in line with his point of view.
The military boss didn't mention it first, just talking about Marenleg, he shouldn't have made such a decisive judgment in the first place.
This match has a big impact, and it was terminated due to an accident in the process, isn't this a slap in the face, even if Marenleg thinks that Hella is abnormal, he should not just go on stage to terminate the game without consulting anyone.
Unless, he already knew that Hela was not a "person" and he wanted to cover up something.
Not only Marenleg, Xia Feng guessed that some of the official executives of this competition may know Hela's true identity, and may even know the royal family.
Or rather, it's simply arranged by the royal family!
Due to the interference of the Yuan Council, the royal family wants someone to obtain a noble title through a sword fighting competition?
...
At this moment, Xia Feng's previous guess in his mind and the current situation were connected.
Winning the championship can get the title of nobility, and he previously suspected that this was a wedding dress made by the royal family for others, just to give someone an opportunity to become a nobleman.
Of course, this person was definitely not him, but at the time he couldn't figure out who this person was.
But now, although it is not 100% certain, all the circumstances lead to his speculation.
There are only 8 people in the top 8.
Pete has been eliminated, he is a member of the Central Army.
The eastern burial was also eliminated, and he was just a martial artist.
And Xiao Ye, himself, and Skati, the three of them are all outsiders who have nothing to do with the royal family.
Then it turns out that only the last three people remain.
Tyrin, Hela, and his opponent in the fourth game, one of these three is a candidate for the royal family.
According to the current official reaction, the probability of Hella is undoubtedly very high.
...
Thinking about it, the spectators had been forcibly ejected from the arena by the soldiers.
A soldier nudged the summer breeze.
"Didn't you hear the order just now, why are you still standing, let's go."
Summer Breeze came back to his senses.
"That's... I'm a player, and it's going to be my game in a minute. ”
"No, the players have to leave, the last match has been postponed, when it is confirmed will be notified in advance, and now everyone has to leave the field."
Xia Feng inserted the Shenyue Knife back into its scabbard and asked in a low voice.
"Brother, let me ask, what will the military do if you mistakenly kill an opponent in the game?"
The soldier impatiently pushed Xia Feng again.
"Ask what, it's not your concern, get out of here."
Seeing Xia Feng being pushed, Ah Guang, who had just rushed over, kicked the soldier's ass.
Then he yelled.
"Who are you pushing? I'm tired of being alive, aren't I? ”
"Ouch, you dare to kick me?"
After being kicked, the soldier instinctively wanted to draw his saber, but Xia Feng immediately pulled Ah Guang away when he saw this, and the whole person came to the front of the soldier.
"Hey, I'm sorry, this is my brother, misunderstanding."
With that, Xia Feng took out his wallet, directly pulled out a stack of banknotes, and quietly stuffed it into the soldier's hand.
"Brother, take it."
The soldier was confused by this slap to give a sweet date, and the half-drawn saber was not up or down, and he didn't know what to do.
"You...."
Xia Feng squeezed his eyebrows and eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay, take it quickly, no one will see it, hurry up and pick it up."
"Oh."
Seeing that this person had collected the money, Xia Feng hooked his shoulders and continued to ask.
"Brother, can you tell me, what will the military do with the players who kill people in the game? Will they be imprisoned? ”
After getting the money, the man's attitude improved, and he thought about it.
"Well.... There will be no criminal prosecution under the rules of the game, but the military will need to investigate the identity and rule out the possibility of premeditated murder, and if it is okay, it will be released soon. ”
Xia Feng immediately became nervous.
"What if murder is concluded?"
The soldier grimaced.
"This... I don't know about this, I'm just an ordinary soldier, but I don't think it's a big deal, as long as the impact is not bad, I shouldn't go to jail. ”
"Well, thank you, brother."
Then, Xia Feng obediently left the audience with everyone from Black Feather.
In the process, he looked in the direction of the ring, and Skati, surrounded by more than a dozen officers of the Royal Knights, stepped out of the ring, not knowing where to be escorted.
.....
After that, the stadium was locked down for the whole afternoon, and Xia Feng did not receive any notice of the match until the evening.
To be honest, he was a little worried about Scati.
Whether Scati was murdered or not, he knew better than anyone else, and there was no need to think about it.
Just like a cop catches a thief, an eagle catches a chicken, and a cat catches a mouse, Scati definitely wants to kill Hela right out in the first place.
Of course, he didn't understand why the Deep Sea Hunter was doing this kind of "hunting", he only knew that as long as Hela was a type of Deep Sea Minion, Scati would definitely kill him.
As for the reason for the hunt, it was not a question that he could figure out now, nor was it something he should think about now, he had to make sure that Scati could get out of this trouble first.
In fact, now calm down and think about it carefully, Scati's actions also have her reasons.
This is not the sea, it is not a primeval forest, this is the civilized Victorian Empire, there is the order and law of this country.
In this case, if Hela maintains some kind of relationship with certain people, the hunt will be difficult to achieve, and even if the hunt is successful, the subsequent trouble will be inevitable.
But if you are in the ring of a sword fighting competition, according to the rules of the competition, and hack that guy to death openly, the price you pay is just to lose the qualification from the competition.
The rules of the game are known to all spectators, and the process is witnessed by countless people, and the official intention is to let the whole world know about the game.
In this case, the cost of killing will be constrained by all parties.
Perhaps, this is why Scati chose to hunt in the ring of a sword fighting tournament.
