Chapter 212 Justice and Cause and Effect

As Funina recounted the heinous crimes committed by Chiag, Qiuhe was once again shocked. Qiuhe had already considered this possibility earlier.

Chiag must have committed some heinous crime to have enraged Frynn to the point that she was willing to defy the decree and the Cardinal's decision to forcibly sentence Chiag to death.

Now that he knew the whole story, Qiuhe was at a loss for words. "Qiuhe, do you think I did the right thing? Was I too impulsive?"

Funina asked the question with a very low mood, and Qiuhe also felt it was difficult to comment. After nearly 500 years of loneliness, she finally had a source of spiritual comfort.

Ultimately, he was taken away by someone else. Qiuhe hadn't experienced it himself, but he understood what that feeling was like. Even if Qiage had been sentenced to death for the crimes he committed, he would have deserved it.

As for Funina's current worried expression, Qiuhe naturally understood. Although Funina usually seemed silly, her portrayal of a god was extremely exaggerated.

But he genuinely cared about every citizen of Fontaine; otherwise, what sane person would endure 500 years of loneliness and suffering just to ensure the happiness and future of others?

Those who commit heinous crimes should be sentenced to death; otherwise, it would be a disservice to justice and to those who have passed away. But in the eyes of Funina, who had calmed down by this moment...

Whether that person was evil or not is no longer important; what matters is that he personally executed his own people. "Excuse me, Funina, regarding this question..."

I'm afraid I really can't answer you. I can only ask, if you were to do it all over again, would you still uphold the idea of ​​the death penalty?" Funina listened...

His eyes also revealed endless disappointment. "I have to do this. If I don't, then justice cannot be considered justice, and Fontaine will no longer be a just country."

Fairness and impartiality will be laughed at, but why must I be the one to make the decision? Why... why not the cardinal decree to decide?

As Funina spoke, her voice began to choke, and tears welled up in her eyes. At that moment, Qiuhe gently took Funina's hand and slowly stood up.

"I'm sorry, Furina, I can't give you an answer, but please come with me. Believe me, there is someone who might be able to show you whether justice is right or wrong."

Looking at Qiuhe bathed in sunlight, a glimmer of light appeared in Funina's tear-filled eyes. Qiuhe gently pulled Funina up.

Finally, he took her to Fontaine Hospital. Seeing that Qiuhe had brought her to the hospital, Funina was still somewhat puzzled. "Qiuhe, what is the answer to justice?"

"Is it in this hospital?" As Fu Ningna spoke, the two arrived at the door of a ward. Qiuhe slowly placed his hand on the doorknob.

"Hmm, the person behind this door might be able to help you understand whether your choice was right." Qiuhe said, slowly pushing open the door.

As the door opened, the nurse, who was sitting on the edge of the bed with drowsy eyes, noticed the movement at the door. When she looked towards the door, she saw Qiuhe.

At the same time, she saw Funina next to Qiuhe. Upon seeing Funina, the nurse froze, only reacting after a few seconds, "Water..."

Before the surprised nurse could even utter a word, Qiuhe made a shushing gesture, and the nurse quickly covered her mouth.

She glanced at the girl lying asleep on the bed beside her and, finding that she hadn't been woken, felt relieved.

Qiuhe observed the young nurse's current state; she seemed quite exhausted as well. Shortly after Qiuhe and the old housekeeper left the ward...

The girl woke up as well. Although Qiuhe had cast a calming spell on her, she didn't cry and scream like before, but she was quite different.

Like a person in a vegetative state who has lost their soul, they lay on the bed with their eyes open, not uttering a word, but tears would occasionally slide down their cheeks.

Because the hospital was so busy, only this nurse was left to care for the little girl, while the other nurses went to attend to other patients.

In the end, the nurse exhausted all her efforts, coaxing and telling stories, before finally getting the girl to sleep. Looking at the nurse who was clearly very tired...

Qiuhe smiled and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, nurse." The young nurse responded with a smile.

Funina also noticed the little girl lying on the hospital bed. "Qiuhe, where is the person you said could tell me the answer?" she asked. Seeing Funina's confusion...

Qiuhe then led her to the girl's bedside. "Funina, do you know who this girl is?" Funina looked at the girl on the bed.

Looking at the girl's face, Funina stared for a while, her pupils dilating in surprise. "She is... Chiag's daughter." Funina gradually began to recognize the girl's face after looking at it for a while.

In recent years, Furina has also seen Chiag with her daughter at the Opikley Opera several times, and as the number of times has accumulated...

Funina gradually memorized the girl's appearance, and Qiuhe, looking at the girl, whispered, "That's right, she is Qiage's second daughter."

"That's what you meant by 'congenital organ failure,' and ultimately, she received an organ transplant from someone named Ina." Funina listened to these words.

Her expression gradually froze from initial surprise, her eyes revealing a hint of disgust and sadness. (I feel sorry for little Ina.)

"Then why did you bring me to see her?" Seeing Funina's low spirits, Qiuhe slowly closed his eyes and sighed softly. "Nurse sister."

At this moment, Qiuhe called to a nurse standing nearby, who came over and said, "Nurse, could you please take a look at this girl's injuries for the Water God?"

"Huh?" The young nurse was also puzzled, but after thinking about it, she didn't know how to ask, so she finally nodded.

Furina shared the same confusion; she couldn't understand what was so interesting about the girl's injuries, even though the guards had already explained to her how serious they were.

She didn't understand what was so interesting about it, and seeing the puzzled look on Fu Ningna's face, Qiuhe simply said slowly, "You'll see when you see it. If you don't know, you can't comment."

After Qiuhe finished speaking, he stepped aside. As Qiuhe left, the nurse slowly unwrapped the bandages from the girl's body, and the bandages wrapped around her body gradually disappeared.

The moment the girl's chest was revealed, Funina was already shocked. Her breasts were now scabbed over, and the two pearls on her chest were gone.

Moreover, the mark left by the wound looked like a bite mark, as the bandages on the girl's upper body were gradually removed.

The girl's abdomen, as well as the pinching and scratching marks on both sides of her waist, became visible, especially the flesh on her sides, which differed from that on her chest.

The flesh on both sides of the waist looked as if it had been forcibly torn off by hand; the skin that should have been very tender on the child's body...

But now, the folds have coalesced into a very distressing scar. Even though the bloody scene has long since faded, it still looks extremely gruesome.

Funina's eyes began to tremble slightly, and as the bandages on the girl's lower body were gradually removed, she witnessed this scene.

Funina felt as if she had been struck by a heavy hammer. She instinctively covered her mouth with her hand and took a few steps back, noticing the sound behind her.

Qiuhe turned around and quickly helped Funina, whose stomach was churning and felt like she might vomit at any moment.

Qiuhe also sensed Funina's discomfort and her violent trembling, and then controlled his own energy to flow into Funina's body.

As energy flowed into Funina's body, the churning stomach and general discomfort gradually subsided, but even so, Funina still trembled slightly.

Seeing that Funina was frightened, the nurse hurriedly stepped forward and apologized repeatedly. Qiuhe eventually led Funina out of the room.

Sitting on a bench in the corridor, Qiuhe held and comforted Funina for a while before Funina gradually calmed her turbulent emotions.

"Why? This is completely different from what I heard." Hearing Funina's still trembling voice, Qiuhe said with a worried expression:

"Frinina, I've been confused too, I've been there, not understanding what true justice really is. But after hearing your account of the crimes Chiag committed..."

Furina, do you know, in my world, there's a saying: when the most wicked are punished, retribution will eventually come.

The blade of justice does not strike directly at the source of evil, but rather precisely pierces their most vulnerable spot; everyone has a weakness.

And Heaven always knows what price to pay to make those villains suffer a fate worse than death.” Qiuhe said, then hugged Funina tighter.

"Remember what you said? If you punish a person's family because of their mistake, then justice is no longer justice. But look, from the seed of cause and effect, it sprouts and grows into a towering tree."

The blood-stained debt was already etched on the green leaves, until the fallen leaves traveled through the years and drifted to this day.
