Ninety-nine struggling prisoners were being escorted to be locked in the execution platform groove.
The escort stepped back, indicating that preparations were complete. Another token was thrown out, the drum stopped, and with another shout of "execute," the blade descended with a roar, a row of heads flew up and bounced on the ground while being dragged by chains.
The guillotine was raised again, and another batch of crying people went up to collect the corpses.
The third round began immediately after.
Each time the guillotine blocked the view and was raised, the old man Wu Jinliang kept a close eye on Shi Chun's reaction. After two more rounds, it would be Shi Chun's turn; he wanted to confirm whether Shi Chun was panicking but didn't notice someone blending into the crowd and moving to his side.
