Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: The Original Angry Owl Sect

Chapter 22,

electromagnetic rifles of several marines of the original Angry Owl Sect fired fiercely.

Under the fierce shooting, the middle-aged man was unable to launch a counterattack like before, and could only maintain a storm shield to avoid being shot.

But he couldn’t bear it anymore. Although

the supernatural power is strong, it can’t withstand the full-strength shooting of multiple electromagnetic rifles. It was surprising that he could hold on for a few seconds.

Seeing that the storm shield was about to collapse, the mortal body behind him would not be able to withstand even a metal spike and would be killed.

But at this moment, the marines ceased fire. At

this moment, of course, there was only one person who could make them stop attacking: Gu Hang.

“Catch him alive.”

Yan Fangxu raised his fist and signaled a ceasefire.

At this moment, the storm shield on the man was already very weak. The white rotating cycle storm became very light in color and was about to disappear.

The guy himself was also pale, half because he was frightened by the desperate situation, and the other half because he was uncomfortable because of the excessive spiritual consumption.

Gu Hang walked forward and just waved his hand. The invisible soul blade found the weakness of the storm shield that had been exposed and cut it directly.

The backlash of psychic energy immediately made the middle-aged man vomit blood.

Gu Hang looked at his face for a while, and then said: “Wo Han, right? We have met once, when I just arrived on this planet.”

Hearing Gu Hang’s words, Wo Han’s somewhat dull eyes became a little smarter, as if he had reacted.

Without wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he said: “Governor… Governor… I can explain… I…”

At this point, he was a little stuck.

“Huh? Why don’t you continue? You don’t even know how to quibble?”

Wo Han really didn’t know what to say.

There was no need to lie with open eyes. The goods had just been robbed and transported back, and before they could even be put into the warehouse, the governor’s troops had already arrived and completely defeated the mercenaries he had cooperated with for many years. He

was caught red-handed, with evidence in his possession. How could he argue?

“I lose, Governor. I accept all charges. I completely surrender to you. I beg you to spare my life. I am willing to pay any price…”

As he spoke, he struggled to move twice, knelt on the ground, and knelt down to Gu Hang.

He had tried his best to be as sincere as possible.

Gu Hang smiled happily: “It’s too late to realize that you have lost your way and turned back to the right path when you are at the end of the road. Wohan, I’m sorry. You used to be a senator of the Alliance and should have been a member of the planetary polity under the leadership of the governor. You could have become an official recognized by the Empire. But you committed serious crimes, looting goods, attacking the governor, disobeying orders, and… colluding with a cult.”

“I fully admit… what? Colluding with a cult? No, no, no…” Hearing the last four words, Wohan widened his eyes.

He is not a commoner who knows nothing. He fully understands one thing.

If it were only the first three items, he might still have a chance of survival. After all, his biggest sin was to go against the governor. Now, he lost, but not completely.

He still has industries and influence in Renaissance City, and he controls a very important part of the grain trade. These should be valuable to the governor, and if he surrenders completely and is willing to hand over all of this, and be a loyal and reliable dog for the governor in the future, he may really have a way to survive. Or, after getting through the current difficulties, when the governor is finished in two years, he may still be a big figure in Renaissance City.

However, if he is involved in a cult, it’s over.

On the scale of the entire empire, the so-called heretics and cults are the most important internal traitors, the most serious crimes, and the unforgivable. There is only one belief in the empire – the great God Emperor.

On the Wrathful Owl Star, the situation of the cult is relatively better – but only a little. Because there are too many factors threatening human survival on the Wrathful Owl Star, there is no time to eliminate the cults on a large scale.

But this does not mean that they will be gentle to those who have been confirmed as heretics.

The heretics on the Wrathful Owl Star can basically be equated with the “Original Owl Beast Sect”.

The name of the Wrathful Owl Star comes from a huge predatory land creature that existed on the planet before the world-destroying war. Its body is like a giant bear covered with feathers, and its head is similar to an owl with antlers. From the existing information, this creature looks a bit silly and cute, with a peaceful and docile personality, but it is very fierce when angry.

And this sect believes that on the once beautiful Wrathful Owl Star, the owl beast represents a beautiful image. The first owl beast was born with the planet and became a god, protecting the entire planet. The war that destroyed the world angered the original owl beast, and his anger turned into an eternal waste energy storm on the surface of the planet. The storm will never stop until the world has redeemed its sins.

And the “Original Owl Beast Sect” is dedicated to atonement. In addition to their own religious rituals, their most important atonement ritual is to sacrifice sinners who do not believe in their will to the gods in order to pray for “forgiveness”.

They have also caused a lot of damage. The horrific blood sacrifice is fine. Anyway, human life on the Angry Owl Star is worthless. Being eaten by mutant monsters, starving to death, and dying of disease is not much different from being sacrificed by the cult.

But the key is that they will not only target a few people. The goal of this group of cults is to make the entire planet atone for the gods. They have created many events that destroyed an entire settlement. They are committed to expanding the area polluted by the waste energy storm, which will lead to a reduction in arable land, the inability to use mineral veins, and the complete destruction of the invested factories.

This has become a public enemy.

Whether from the perspective of imperial law or from the situation on the Angry Owl Star, Wohan knows that if he confirms his collusion with the cult, he will definitely die.

He now regrets it very much. Why did he use the storm spell when the other party broke into the house?

The key is that he can’t escape!

He could only try to argue in this regard: “Governor, please believe me! I did not collude with the cult! I don’t know them at all! I… I… I just suddenly found that I can use it one day…”

Gu Hang nodded: “I heard your testimony, I will verify it. Next, you will be interrogated and tell us everything you know. And finally, I will hold a trial against you in Fuxing City and make a final judgment. Don’t worry, this time will not be too long, and you will soon get what you deserve.”

I’m in trouble. Chapters 22 and 23 should be tomorrow’s content, but the schedule was wrong…

Just consider it as an extra update for today, brothers! There will be two updates as usual tomorrow.

The saved manuscripts have suffered a heavy blow…
