Chapter 1553

Kode's words left Gu Ding speechless.

Gu Ding and the others had seen a lot of injustices ever since they came out of Cerule. However, there was no way to put an end to such things.

From the elementary dimensions, to the advanced dimensions, to the main dimension, to the current Chaotic Universe, injustices were common. It could be said that it was the norm.

Along the way, Gu Ding and the others would lend a helping hand whenever they saw something unfair. However, they had only met a small group of people, and there were many more that they had not seen.

"You're too extreme …" Gu Ding sighed helplessly.

"Only extreme measures can completely solve the problem from the root." Kou De still insisted on his own opinion.

Seeing that Gu Ding had fallen silent, Kode continued, "Do you know why I abandoned my title as the Federal Government's youngest colonel in Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation and became an Interstellar Pirate?"

Gu Ding had heard about Kode's past before he made his debut, but he had no idea why he gave up his bright future to become an Interstellar Pirate. In fact, many people wanted to dig up the reason why he betrayed the Union Government. Many media outlets made up various stories, but none of them were confirmed by Kode.

"When I was twenty-five years old, I had just been awarded the rank of colonel and accepted a secret mission — to wipe out an underground organization that trafficked human beings and rescue all the prisoners. Although I knew the mission was dangerous, I didn't even think about it before I agreed. "

"More than a month later, I led my team and finally found the location of the underground organization's headquarters. We snuck in and started looking for the human traffickers. It was a huge underground base, and we were discovered not long after we moved in. However, we chose to continue with the mission. Braving a hail of bullets, we killed our way in. Out of twelve brothers, three were killed, two were seriously injured, and the others were injured to varying degrees. However, we killed more than five hundred human traffickers along the way and broke into the deepest part of the underground base, where we found the huge metal cages that held the people.

"Just as we were about to release the trafficked people, the leader of the gang appeared. He took a female hostage and warned us that the hostage in his hands was the niece of the Dragon Soar Cosmic Nation's lord. He also asked us to contact the higher-ups of the military to discuss terms with them. "

"His condition was that only one of us, the team that broke into his base, was allowed to leave with the girl. The rest of us had to stay and pay the price for his dead comrade. Also, don't take any of the other people they abducted! "

"I originally thought that the military would never agree to such a condition. However, I didn't expect that I was still too naive. My boss didn't even take a minute to give me a reply and accept the other party's conditions. At that time, I was naturally unwilling to agree, but I was a soldier, and following orders was my duty. Moreover, I also think that we can send the girl away first, then immediately rush back to rescue the team. In addition to the persuasion of my subordinates, after some consideration, I also agreed to this trade condition. "

"After that, under the insistence of the other team members, I took the hostage girl and left the base. As soon as I left the base, I asked a friend to send her away, and I rushed back to the underground base on the same day. "

"When I returned to the base, I found that there was no one in the base. In the deepest part of the base, my brothers in the team were hung naked outside the iron cages. They had died horribly, and their bodies were covered with all kinds of inhuman scars. Some of them had their skin peeled off, leaving only a complete face for me to identify. Some of them had their scalps peeled off, and then a whole piece of human skin was hung next to them with a knife to carve their names. There were also a few who had their heads cut off, their genitals cut off, and the words' Guess who he is' carved on their chests with a knife … "

"My brothers were not the only ones who died. The trafficked people were also killed, and not a single one was spared. Their bodies were full of bullet holes … I could even imagine the group of people standing outside the cages, holding machine guns and shooting at the unarmed young men and women inside. Most of them were minors who were not even sixteen years old, and there were more than three thousand of them … "

Hearing this, even Gu Ding and the others could not help but clench their fists.

"From this day onwards, I swore that I would kill all of those scum, and not a single one would be spared! So, I began to track their movements, and more than a month later, I finally found their new stronghold. I reported the location of this stronghold to the Union Government and asked for reinforcements, hoping to catch them all in one fell swoop. However, three days later, not only did the reinforcements not come, but we were also hunted down by those scum! "

"It took a lot of effort for me to escape. At that time, I was very confused as to why my location was exposed. Later, more than two months later, when I single-handedly killed all of those scum, I found out the truth from the scum leader. "

"The young woman we rescued was not the niece of the Lord at all. She was the mistress of a general in the Army. In order to prevent the scandal from spreading, they sent us on a secret mission to rescue the woman. As for the other trafficked people, they did not care at all. "

"After the woman was rescued, the scum leader had something on the general, and he was afraid that I would find out the truth and spread the news. He wanted to use the human traffickers to get rid of me, so he sold me out. "

"This is what the privileged do. For their own sake, they do not care about the lives of others. He even colluded with the human traffickers and wanted to kill me. "

"After finding out the truth, I knew that I could no longer return to the Union Government. I also began to realize that my previous idea of becoming an authoritative figure and changing the Union Government was a mistake. If I wanted to truly change the world, I could only stand on the opposite side of those authoritative figures and completely destroy those so-called authorities! In order to achieve this goal, I could use all the power at my disposal, so I formed my own pirate crew … "

"That's why your pirate crew is called the 'Adjudicator' …" Gu Ding finally understood where the name 'Adjudicator' came from. "You wish to become the world's adjudicator and kill all those you deem guilty. However, do you really think that you can be a good adjudicator? "

"This world needs an adjudicator. Why can't it be me?" Kode spread his hands and said.

"However, have you ever thought that your so-called Great Purge plan of carrying out a massacre would make you the biggest sinner?"

"If I can make this world a better place, I am willing to bear the biggest sin!" Kode laughed like a maniac.
