Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 301 Knight
Shi Fei was stunned. The scene before him was difficult for him to digest for a while.

Those high-tech dark knights, riding mechanical horses and wearing black armor, like warriors from the future, are actually just... traffic police?
He couldn't help but shook his head, trying to sort out this absurd reality.

The cost of law enforcement in Goff City is a bit high!

George wanted to get off the car cursing, but luckily it was just a ticket and he only had to save money for a few days!
Suddenly, the knight glanced at Shi Fei and said, "Citizen George Miller, unregistered illegal immigrants were found in your car. You are suspected of transporting illegal immigrants and need to go to the police station."

"Wang Defa, you are an illegal resident!" George finally couldn't help but yelled, with a hint of despair in his voice.

Suspected of transporting illegal immigrants? That's no small matter.

In Goff City, such a charge would have cost him his job and even landed him in jail. He felt dizzy, as if the world was collapsing.

In front of the Dark Knight, all sins cannot escape, even if you are not guilty.

The dark knight glanced at Shi Fei coldly. His eyes under the helmet looked cold and mechanical through the black lenses. His voice came through the speaker with an unquestionable majesty:

"Illegal immigrants, you need to raise your hands! Get down! Everything you do can be considered a provocation to the City of Goff!"

Shi Fei did not move. His eyes were calm and deep, as if he was examining everything in front of him. Suddenly, No. 18 froze.

A string of garbled characters flashed across his helmet screen, and then his arms rose uncontrollably and he slowly took off his helmet.

A young face appeared under the helmet, with black hair, a high nose bridge, and deep eye sockets. It was exactly the younger version of Mr. Wayne, the richest man in Goff City.

George's eyes widened and he murmured in disbelief: "Mr. Wayne? This...how is this possible?"

Mr. Wayne is the richest man in Goff City. His Wayne Group controls Goff City's oil, natural gas, chemicals, real estate, finance and other industries. There is no one in Goff City who doesn't know Mr. Wayne.

But Mr. Wayne is already over 80 years old, with white hair and a staggering gait, while the man in front of him is a strong man in his twenties or thirties, with a handsome face and sharp eyes.

"You... did what..." Eighteen's voice became hoarse and trembling. He tried to press the emergency button on his waist, which was the launcher of the micro missile in the belly of the mechanical horse.

However, his fingers seemed to be restrained by some invisible force and could not move.

Shi Fei did not answer. He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful: "Who are you?"

The knight was silent for a moment, his face under the helmet seemed to be struggling. He knew that after his system went out of control, other knights would soon notice the abnormality and rush to support him. One hundred and eight dark knights maintained the law and order of Goff City, and no criminals could hide.

However, he did not wait for any response. In the sky, the dark knights flying between the tall buildings seemed to have completely ignored the abnormality here.

He looked at Shi Fei, and a strange feeling surged from his heart, making him involuntarily tell the truth: "My name is No. 18, I am Mr. Wayne's loyal law enforcer, and I am the sword that wipes out the evil in Goff City!"

"Number 10 doesn't sound like a name!" Shi Fei said. "The name is not important." Number 15's tone suddenly became excited: "What's important is our mission! Without us, there were 1195 murders and violent crimes per people in Goff City! Now, the crime rate has dropped to zero! We are the messengers of justice and the protectors of this city!"

"Now, illegal immigrant, stop your tricks and accept legal sanctions!" No. 18 scolded Shi Fei.

Shi Fei's eyes swept across the surrounding high-rise buildings. Those buildings that should have been brightly lit were now pitch black, as if they were hiding from something.

The streets were deserted, with only a few lonely street lamps swaying in the wind. Shi Fei asked softly, "If you are really the messengers of justice, why are people afraid of you? Why is the whole city avoiding you?"

Number 18's voice suddenly rose a few notches, with an almost fanatical firmness: "Those who avoid us are potential criminals with criminal tendencies! Just like George Miller! They know they are about to commit a crime, so they are afraid of us! We are the guardians of Goff City and the embodiment of the law!"

George, who was watching the show on the side, didn't expect that he would be involved.

His face turned pale instantly, his lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to explain but didn't know where to start.

He knew in his heart that if Shi Fei, the "illegal immigrant", had not suddenly appeared, he would have returned home long ago, hiding on the shabby sofa, drinking cheap beer and watching boring TV shows.

But now, he has inexplicably become a criminal and even used as a negative example by No. 18.

Shi Fei sneered, "Law? Guardian? You really know how to flatter yourselves. You are not the embodiment of law, you are the embodiment of fear. You rule this city with fear and suppress all resistance with violence. You make everyone live in the shadows, dare not raise their heads, and even have to be careful when breathing."

Eighteen's expression did not waver at all, and his voice was still cold and firm: "No matter what, breaking the law is wrong! The law will punish everyone who breaks the law! This is an iron law, and there is no doubt about it!"

They have an almost fanatical worship and belief in the law. Just like their original leader, Mr. Wayne, they have always adhered to the principle of not killing. Only the law can judge people, and only those who are judged by the law can be killed!
But there is a problem with this logic.

Shi Fei asked: "Who makes the laws in your place?"

"What?" Number 18 was stumped by this question.

"Who makes the laws in your place?" Shi Fei asked again.

Number 18 didn't understand, but still answered: "Of course, it was proposed by the council members of Goff City, reviewed by the City Committee, and finally after the full committee voted and passed, the mayor signed it, and finally the law came into effect!"

"He's a councillor, a committee member, and the mayor. What does this have to do with someone like him?" Shi Fei said, pointing at George who was in a daze beside him.

Number 18 turned his gaze to George and said, "Him? I have already reviewed his experience. He only went to a third-rate university and works in a low-level job. He is not qualified to be a member of parliament and has no power to review laws."

Innocent George was shot again as he lay.
