Chapter 349: Punishment

Twelve's attitude towards Speaker Stars was very respectful, and the etiquette was also very thoughtful.

But when you look closely at his every move, there is a different kind of calmness.

This kind of calmness is definitely not the calmness that a subordinate will have for his superiors, there is no pressure, and there is a light breeze hidden between respect and etiquette.

But the Speaker of the Stellar Council didn't care.

Twelve was ostensibly one of the Sixteen Stars and a follower of Tang Long, and there was a difference of 108,000 miles from his status.

But in fact, Twelve is 'his' direct subordinate, and he has been deliberately placed by Tang Long's side since he was a child.

Twelve can theoretically not be sent by anyone, and Twelve will only obey 'his' orders.

Who is 'he'? He's naturally the shadow he just had.

"Twelve, you're going on a trip to the Dark Harbor." For Twelve, Speaker Xingchen will not beat around the bend, and will speak directly when he has something to say.

"Okay." Twelve's answer was also very direct, as a direct subordinate, he naturally knew that the adult had come.

"Tang Long needs to be restrained, I can't think of anyone else who can do this, only please." Speaker Xingchen used the word 'please'.

"No problem." Twelve nodded.

"Then you can go." Speaker Xingchen ended the conversation very simply.

He will not admit that he is the speaker of the stars, and his strength is also among the top in the world, and there will be a little pressure in the face of a teenager.

Not to mention admitting it, in fact, he didn't understand what kind of restraint Tang Long needed from beginning to end?

As the seedling that the Lord values the most, Tang Long's loyalty to the Star Council is beyond doubt, now in the Dark Harbor, what Tang Long needs to do is to suppress Tang Ling, prove himself, and win the inheritance of the Dragon Army, why do you still have to restrain him at this time? Isn't this counterproductive?

But Speaker Xingchen didn't dare to ask, he was afraid that the adults would think he was incompetent.

And seeing that Twelve directly agreed, he didn't ask what was binding Tang Long? Speaker Xingchen suddenly had a trace of inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Are you not as good as the teenager in front of you?

But in this case, Speaker Xingchen would not say anything either, he just maintained his usual indifferent composure, and nodded to end the conversation.

Twelve respectfully withdrew again.

Speaker Xingchen thought for a moment, and then ordered, "Let the other side wait for me in the adjudication room." ”

**

Battleship Fortress, Adjudication Room.

This is the entire Council of the Stars, where only the Speaker can enter and exit freely.

The name "ruling" refers to the place where the speaker makes the final decision on major matters, which is naturally equivalent to the office of the speaker.

The entire chamber is black, paved with a precious ferrous metal.

Under normal circumstances, the light of the adjudication room comes from the 'starlight' of the room, which is an artificial starry sky, which is more real, shocking, and beautiful than the starry sky of the previous civilization.

At this time, the starlight was not turned on, and in its place were two huge oil lamps with dim light.

The base of the oil lamp is a sculpture of two atonements.

Such a light makes the entire adjudication room look solemn, depressing, and cold....

Speaker Xingchen sat behind the blood-colored desk made of blood jade ore in the huge adjudication room.

Dressed in black, a robe with dots of stars, and a starry crown beneath a cold white-gold mask.

This mask is in a minimalist style, with only two holes in the eyes and a slit in the lips.

This is what the Speaker of the Stars looks like when he appears in front of people, and there are no more than ten people in the entire Council of the Stars who know his true face.

Even the other side didn't know what Speaker Xingchen looked like, because he had been wearing this cold mask since Speaker Xingchen first appeared in front of her.

Of course, the other side doesn't care what kind of face is under this mask.

"Sit." Speaker Xingchen spoke.

Dressed in a white dress, he stood on the other side of the center of the adjudication room and nodded, moved to the blood-colored desk, and sat down gently.

It's just a short period of time, and the other side's face is already a little haggard, but even so, it can't hide her peerlessness, and being haggard will only make people feel more pity.

Looking at the other side in front of him, Speaker Xingchen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he had witnessed how the other side had grown into such a stunner.

Just like a unique and strange flower that appeared in the Purple Moon Era, the Hell Poppy, it seems to condense the beauty of all flowers and move people's hearts.

However, when this flower is young, it looks like just an ordinary beautiful flower.

The only thing it is is that the more mature, the more seductive, the more seductive, the more toxic... When he reached a fully mature body, even a sixth-order Purple Moon warrior would not dare to approach it easily.

Once you are seduced by this flower and infected by its toxicity, this life is completely over, ten times more powerful than the drugs of the previous civilization, a hundred times....

Therefore, the same is true of the stunner in front of you, even from a distance it makes people tremble.

However, Speaker Xingchen will not forget his identity, his mission, and the role he wants to play....

He spoke again: "What are you looking for me?" ”

"I want to get out of the Council of the Stars." The other side is a person who will not hesitate once she decides, she is very direct.

"Detachment? Cause? Speaker Xingchen pretended to be surprised.

The other side pursed the corners of his mouth and said nothing.

"Well, I already know." Speaker Xingchen gently tapped the table with the knuckles of his fingers, and then said in a sarcastic tone: "Tang Ling? ”

The other side glanced at the Speaker, then nodded firmly.

"Huh." Speaker Xingchen smiled sarcastically, but he was not surprised.

People are wonderful beings! Just like in ancient times, what human beings feared, they would write this fear in their genes and pass it on.

And this inheritance has become a shackle of the soul, and human beings thousands of years later will not be able to jump out of it, let alone erase it.

This is to be expected on the other side.

"Please let me go, Speaker." The other side spoke, his voice trembling a little.

The Speaker had planted the seeds of fear in her heart, although most of the time, the other side would feel that the Speaker was not intimidating, as if she had changed someone, but that seed had taken too deep roots, and she had no way to get rid of it.

It was Tang Ling, everything about Tang Ling was supporting the other side, injecting courage into her heart and making her firm.

"If, if you are not afraid of death, but you are afraid that you will not be able to come near you. Then, I will face everything bravely. The hand hidden in the group on the other side clenched gently.

"Is it so easy to break away from the Council of the Stars? Don't forget, who brought you to this real world? And who is holding you in hell and teaching you? Speaker Xingchen asked the other side, but he didn't refuse.

"There's no way I can stay." The other side raised his eyes, and those beautiful but cold eyes were shrouded in such a humanized firmness for the first time.

She paused for a moment, then said slowly, "I don't know how to repay the favor, let the speaker decide." The only thing I can't give is time. ”

"Is it because you can't wait to see Tang Ling?" Speaker Xingchen sneered, the knuckles of his fingers stopped tapping on the tabletop, and the whole palm of his hand pressed against the table.

In the face of Speaker Xingchen's inquiry, the other side was noncommittal.

"Good, good... I didn't expect that the queen brought back by the Council of Stars at such a price would betray a boy who was destined for one side. Speaker Xingchen flicked his robe and stood up.

He walked around his desk and began pacing around the adjudication room.

After about a dozen seconds, he stopped, then raised his hand and held out a finger.

A small wind blade quickly formed on his fingers, and the wind blade struck out and landed somewhere on the ceiling, making a crisp 'ding' sound.

As the sound dissipated, the sound of the walls separating from the adjudication room resounded.

Soon, the sound stopped.

A twisted crack cracked in one of the walls to the left of the adjudication chamber, looking like a shocking wound.

A verdict is the final decision on a major matter, and it also carries a solemn sense of judgment.

When the judgment has a result, there will naturally be a punishment.

In this adjudication room, there is such a punishment room that makes anyone in the know extremely frightened and trembles when they hear the name - the Star Punishment Room.

"I have no kindness to you. For I have given all my life to the Council, to teach you, to redeem you, because of the interests of the Council. ”

"So, there's a blank space between you and me."

"You don't have to give me an account if you leave, the only thing you need to answer is the entire council."

"The parliament has the rules of the council, and if you want to defect, follow the rules of defection." As he spoke, Speaker Xingchen took the lead in the gap that could be passed through by the two of them.

Looking at the back of the speaker, the expression on the other side was indifferent and calm.

Before, when the Speaker said something like a blank space between you and me, a trace of sadness flowed through her eyes.

But when she knew that the decision was a punishment, she was relieved.

What is physical pain? In that hellish world, the other side has become accustomed to ignoring all the pain that comes from the body.

Without hesitation, she followed the back of Speaker Xingchen and entered the terrifying Xingchen punishment chamber with him.

The torture chamber is also completely black, and several braziers are the only light sources here, and under the light of the light source, you can see that this most terrifying punishment chamber in the legend has only a short corridor.

On either side of the corridor are several rooms arranged opposite each other.

The door number of the room reads 'Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth'.

"Do you know the rules? As long as you manage to stay in any room for twenty minutes and then walk out, the Council of the Stars will let you go. As he spoke, Speaker Xingchen raised his hand again, and a roulette wheel fell from the ceiling and landed in front of the Speaker.

The Speaker spun the roulette wheel lightly, and said, "Let's see which punishment chamber fate will let you into?" I'm expecting you to get into the easiest one, and I don't mean to punish you, just play by the rules. ”

As he spoke, the roulette wheel stopped spinning and landed on the word 'wood'.

Speaker Xingchen under the mask couldn't help but show a sympathetic look, the wooden punishment room was not the deadliest, but the most painful.

It seems that the luck on the other side is really not good.
