The public trial of Reims was set for the last day of May.

Because the trading conditions offered by Lance were really tempting, the federal side finally agreed to his request - global live broadcast.

This time, it is no longer a fake live broadcast, but a real broadcast to multiple media platforms, and it is publicly broadcast to all regions of the world.

Of course, the Federation also knows how to exploit loopholes; The deal proposed by Lance is only the words "global live", and he does not mention other specific details, which means that the federal side has a lot of room to maneuver when it comes to handling this matter.

First of all, to play, does not mean to promote; The FCPS doesn't advertise this for a few weeks, advertise it, or even put a trailer or anything before the trial...... On the contrary, they did their best to keep a low profile, and almost didn't let out any rumors. In other words, before the broadcast, except for some parties related to this matter, the general public did not know that such a public trial existed - neither the broadcast time nor where to watch it.

Secondly, as long as the two conditions of "global" and "live broadcast" are met, then you can flexibly choose what time period to play, what TV channel or network platform to play.

So, they set the trial time for 11 p.m. on a weekday.

At 11 p.m. local time in The Hague, which is about 5 a.m. in Asia, the most densely populated region in the world, and 5 p.m. in North America......

As for the channels that will be broadcast, the local television stations with the smallest number of viewers in each region during this time period will be carefully selected, and the original programs will be temporarily replaced under the name of "inserting legal programs" for broadcasting.

Take the Netherlands as an example: for example, in The Hague, an average TV subscriber can usually receive hundreds of TV stations, of which 20 have global coverage, then these 20 will be excluded first; Then out of the remaining eighty, forty of them cover several continents, and these forty are excluded as well; And so on, those that cover the whole of Europe, or counties, are also eliminated one by one, and finally there are some TV stations that only cover one county in the Netherlands or even only one part of The Hague, and then choose a channel with the lowest ratings at 11 o'clock in the evening, and the live broadcast in The Hague ...... It's up to this station to take care of.

In other regions, the same is done; In fact, it is not that difficult, as long as the TV viewing data of all time periods in the world is aggregated, and then the time difference is converted, the screening can be completed quickly.

To sum up, it is said that it is "covering the world", but in fact, it is not broadcast on a large TV station that can be received in the world, but on countless small TV stations that are basically unwatched. But theoretically, it is true that every region in the world can see it...... As long as you can scan a certain unpopular TV station that you don't usually watch without knowing that there is such a program, and insist on not changing the channel after seeing the boring title of the legal program...... You'll have a chance to find out what the show is on.

And the online live broadcast, the loophole is better to exploit, because the things on the "Internet", except for the dark web, which requires a certain amount of technology and knowledge to enter, the vast majority of open and unrestricted websites and content are originally covered by the world, and the problem is just ...... It's just whether anyone saw it when the live broadcast happened.

If the trial of Lance is broadcast live on the world's largest video website, then even if the website does not do any promotion, or even limit its popularity, and deliberately does not let this content on the homepage, many people will still see it - this is determined by the user base.

But if ...... How many people will see the trial on an unknown website that had just been registered a week before the trial, with a long, messy website that could not be remembered by copying and pasting?

I'm afraid, there is a good chance that the answer is zero.

But theoretically...... Please note that theoretically, people anywhere in the world, as long as they have access to the Internet, can search and enter this website and watch this live broadcast for free; As for the premise, it is naturally "to be able to enter the complex and lengthy URL of a website that you have never heard of before without knowing that there is a public trial or what time it will be broadcast."

…………

The engine sound gradually weakens until it stalls.

May 31, evening, 10:40 p.m.

"Federal Court of The Hague", "A Waiting Room".

"Your face is really infuriating no matter how many times you look at it." At this time, Carmen was sitting across from Lance, staring at Lance with a look that seemed to see through the soul of the other party.

"Huh...... It's a little uneasy to see my face when I have the chance to win, right? Lance, on the other hand, smiled at Carmen.

"Odds of winning?" Carmen repeated these four words, brushed her bangs, and continued, "Where does your confidence come from?" ”

"I have the same reasons for faith as you......" Lance replied, "...... Because I have a bunch of trusted accomplices. ”

Carmen understood the meaning of the other party's words - with Lance's resourcefulness, he could naturally surmise that it was not the justices or the federal Ministry of Justice who really gave the green light to this public trial broadcast live around the world, but the "tea party".

For something as big as this, even Carmen wouldn't be alone when considering that there was plenty of time; She will report upwards, and then discuss and discuss with the people at the tea banquet before the "Dragon Well" makes the final decision.

"Oh? After knowing that this trial was supervised by the tea banquet, do you still have the confidence that you can be a demon in the live broadcast? Carmen said.

Lance didn't answer the question, but said with a smile, "I know that you have taken great pains to limit the number of viewers as much as possible without violating the words 'global live', and just looking at the timing of this trial, I can guess what you are doing in its entirety......"

Whew-whew-

As he finished speaking, two headlights flickered on the skylight on the side of the waiting room, and then the noise of two cars passing by quickly came in, interrupting the conversation between the two of them slightly.

"So what?" A few seconds later, when the sound of the car outside the window had faded away, Carmen said, "This is not a violation of the requirements of the transaction, and you can only blame yourself for not giving the details." As she spoke, she stroked her bangs again.

Lance added, "I also know that you don't trust Raymond anymore. You have been keeping an eye on him these days, and the opening statement he has written has been 'reviewed' by you many times. ”

Carmen looked noncommittal and said, "I can tell you bluntly that it's not just the 'opening statement', today, as soon as he suddenly starts saying something that doesn't match his position in any session, I'll immediately shoot him." ”

Lance tilted his head and said, "Hmph...... is really worthy of the 'Qi Hong' of the tea banquet, not only can he bring a gun to the court, but he can also shoot and kill people in the global live trial. ”

Carmen was unmoved, and replied in a firm tone: "Don't worry, the live broadcast before I shoot will be interrupted on the grounds of 'signal failure', and no civilians will see any bloody scenes, as for Raymond's death, we will later press the 'truth' with 'members of the resistance group stormed the courtroom to carry out suicide attacks, and the chief prosecutor was unfortunately killed and died heroically'." ”

Lance chuckled, "That's a lot of thought." ”

Carmen said: "I am here today to oversee the completion of this trial in accordance with the 'normal process', and in the event of any situation that may exceed the limits of our commitment, I have the right to determine the way in which it is handled, and to cut it first." Neither aborting the deal with you nor summarily summarily executing some federal officials with titles that sound bluffing. ”

"That's funny...... Lance licked his lips, "since the tea banquet has come to this point, why don't you just refuse this deal, just find an excuse to dispose of Raymond too, tear up those legal documents I signed, and then 'force' on me?" ”

"Because I convinced them." Carmen brushed off her bangs and replied, "I told them that torture means nothing to you, in fact, you can simply get away with it by 'killing yourself.'"

"Your arrest was undoubtedly a conspiracy from the start, and the deal you proposed must have been part of the layout, and you were bound to try to do something at trial......

"So, to put it bluntly, this matter is an open game, another game between you and me, and if you can do what you want to do in the trial, then I have lost; And if I can stop you from doing that and get the trial going through, you're losing. ”

Lance nodded, and said, "You can't convince them with these alone, right?" ”

Carmen also nodded: "Yes, so I also vouched for you." ”

Lance followed her words and said, "Are you promising them that if I lose, I will definitely give out the information and inventory promised before according to the content of the transaction?" ”

"Yes." Carmen replied.

"Huh......" Lance laughed, "you trust me like that?" ”

"In this world, there is only a promise between you and me about the outcome of the game, and I believe it unconditionally." Carmen replied without thinking.

"And what if I cheat?" Lance paused, and then said, "What if I don't keep my promise after losing the game?" ”

Whew-

Outside the window, another car whizzed by, and the light of the high beams refracted through the glass of the sunroof on Carmen's face.

"Heh......" Carmen smiled sickly, horrifying in the flash of light, "then I ask you in turn, suppose there is such a person, the only pleasure she has since been born, or the only activity that can arouse her struggle and make her find interesting...... It's a game she invented herself.

"But there is only one person in the world who can play this game but her, and only this person can play it as well as she does.

However, one day, after losing, her opponent began to cheat and refused to pay the price of defeat, thus making the game meaningless.

"At this time, what do you say will happen to this person?"

Lance thought for a moment and replied: "I think that this person will immediately become a fan of the 'chaotic neutral' camp, regardless of social restrictions or moral persuasion, and use her own ability to wantonly play with and trample on all the order in this world, especially for that former opponent, she will do everything to destroy what the other party cherishes, until the other party is forced to collapse...... And see these behaviors as your new pleasures. ”

After he finished saying this, Carmen returned to her usual expression, and the terrifying smile just now seemed to have never appeared, only to see her ruffle her bangs and leisurely continue: "You know very well." ”

Lance shrugged: "Even though you're just as charming as that way, I think it's cuter for you to keep the status quo, so...... Today, I'm going to let you lose. ”

"Lose?" Carmen wondered, "How do you lose?" She leaned forward and glared at Lance, "I should have explained just now, there are only two results today, the first is that you lose, and the second is that I stop the live broadcast and we lose together, there is no third possibility." ”

"Really, isn't it?" Lance asked.

"I'm here, absolutely, yes, no, yes." Carmen replied in a convincing manner.

"Are you really 'in'?" Lance's question shocked Carmen's heart.

"What do you mean?" Carmen said, trying to reach for her bangs again.

"Why are you always flirting with your bangs today?" Lance seemed to answer the question.

"I'm ......," Carmen was aware of the anomaly, and she said thoughtfully, "because half of my face ......."

"Do you always feel a little itchy on that side of your face, so you instinctively go for your hair?" Lance took over.

When Carmen heard this, she frowned slightly: "How do you know?" ”

Lance didn't answer her again, but continued to ask, "What time is it?" ”

Carmen glanced at the clock on the wall: "Ten fifty-three o'clock, ...... before you appear in court"

"Are you sure?" Lance interrupted.

"I ......"

Before she could say the second word, Lance rushed again: "How did you get here?" ”

At this moment, an indescribable fear surged in Carmen's heart, because ...... She couldn't remember.

…………

June 1, three o'clock in the morning.

The city of The Hague, next to a certain road.

A car was parked quietly with three people in it.

The man in the driver's seat, named Che Wuchen, seemed to be closing his eyes at this moment; In the back seat of the car, there was also a man and a woman, both of whom were asleep.

Since Carmen unconsciously tilted her head to the side and leaned on Lance's shoulder when she was asleep, half of her face was pressed by bangs all the time, and when she breathed, her breath blew on her bangs, which would make her feel a little ticklish.

Of course, this level of discomfort will not wake her up; It is difficult for people in "daydreaming" to wake up on their own, even if there is a lot of noise nearby, such as a vehicle passing by their car at high speed, it is useless.

Fortunately, there are not many cars on this road in the middle of the night, from 10:40 last night to now, there are only three cars in total......

…………

"Do you suddenly feel a little strange now, there are only two of us in the waiting room, and there is not even a bailiff looking at me?" In the dream, Lance continued.

"What the hell did you do? Where is this? How did I get here? Carmen had already deduced that her brain was being interfered with by some kind of psychic ability at the moment, so she asked directly.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly, and you'll understand." "At ten o'clock last night, you came to the prison gate in person and got into the transport car that was responsible for taking me to the courtroom, but not long after you got in the car, you 'disappeared'. ”

"What's the vanishing method?" Carmen asked again.

"It's a state ......of 'nothing,'" Lance said, "in that state, even if you stand in front of others and shout loudly, they can see or hear you, but they will ignore you." ”

"Is it Lilia......" Carmen read.

Lance wasn't surprised that Carmen reported her name, and with Tea Banquet's intelligence abilities, it wasn't difficult to find out Lilia's identity and abilities after the Nine Prisons incident.

"Yes." Lance continued, "According to the plan, she got into the car with you, and of course, no one in the escort car could detect her presence; Around 10:15, the special delayed sleeping pill that Lilia had put into your dinner in front of you earlier today took effect; A few minutes later, you fall asleep before you even realize you're sleepy, and your presence is erased by Lilia...... Then, she just needs to wait until the escort arrives at the courtroom and carry you away openly. ”

When Carmen heard this, she had regained her composure a little, and her heart had generally accepted the fact that she had become a prisoner, so her tone became a little relieved: "And then I was brought here?" ”

Lance continued, "Lilia took you to a car and left; What about the car...... There were two people, one was the car detective and the other was me. ”

When she heard the words "Detective Che", Carmen immediately understood that she was in a "daydream" at the moment, after all, Che Wuchen was one of her downlines before, and her abilities were still clear to her.

"Wait, weren't you escorted to the courtroom? Why are you in the car? Carmen then asked.

"Huh...... I was out of prison a week ago. Lance stretched, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "Why do you think I'm going to 'give you three days to think about it'?" ”

"During those three days, you used Raymond to play me around, and escaped from prison while my attention was on him......" Carmen followed the other man's train of thought almost instantly.

"That's right." "Let him take three days off from work while he speaks, and induce him to withhold some inconsequential information...... The meaning behind this move is mainly to deal with you, and only you, an overly smart person, will take the bait......"

"Then after you escaped from prison, the 'Lance' who stayed in prison was ......" Carmen asked again.

"It's a guy called 'Sui Bian', you should have his information at the tea banquet, after all, he is a person who is honored and one of the few people in the world who has the ability to disguise." Lance replied.

Carmen thought for a second: "I know him, but why would he play for you Reverse Cross?" ”

"I've been revised." Lance gave a plausible answer.

"Let me guess......" said Carmen, "he transformed into the nurse who came to change your dressing every day, and replaced you while the dressing was changing?" ”

"That's right." "But I can't conjure up the two lumps of flesh on my chest and my long hair like him, so I need to use the silicone mat and wig he hid in his medicine box in addition to wearing a full lingerie and nurse outfit and a mask......

"Fortunately, the white woman has a larger skeleton and I am thinner, and I have been observing the nurse's walking posture and some movement habits every day in the past, so it is not difficult to impersonate her.

"If you arrange for me to change the dressing in shifts, or find a particularly petite one, maybe my escape plan will have to be fine-tuned, but the actual situation is quite smooth, and there is no danger."

"So, I discovered the mechanical prosthetic eye before, and it was also ......planned by you," Carmen muttered, "just so that I could change the dressing every day." ”

"Of course, is it possible that it is still for the sake of being able to rape the nurse every day?" Lance said this, and suddenly thought of something, "By the way...... Now that I've said that, I want to ask you a question, how do you usually get rid of your leg hair? In order to wear stockings that day without revealing the stuffing, I asked Sui Bian to bring in some wax and tape for hair removal, and I almost suffered a heavy ...... Do you women usually have to endure this kind of that hurts more than poking your eyes? ”

"I refuse to answer that question." Carmen replied with a blank face.

"Okay......" Lance spread his hands, "and then what happened, you should probably guess, the time in the dream is inaccurate, it can be a thought of a year, or a thought of a year...... So, while we were 'daydreaming' here, the court was already over, that is...... This time it's you losing again. ”

"Your use of the word 'again' is really harsh." Carmen said coldly.

"You don't like me to prick your ears, I can prick you somewhere else." The conversation was almost over, and Lance's yellow accent came.

"Hmph......" Carmen sneered, ignoring his foul language, "but how can you, who are dealing with me here, be sure that things will go the way you expect things to go out there?" Do you think I'm the only one overseeing this trial tonight?

"Even if no one on the scene will shoot and kill people now, the people who can cut off the live broadcast signal, except for me, are all over the world, and they will never let your people do whatever they want in the live broadcast.

"Taking a step back, even if you do say the message you want to convey in the live broadcast, there are only a very small number of people around the world who can watch the live broadcast...... The impact of the incident is entirely within the control of public opinion in the Federation. ”

Squeak –

Before Carmen could finish speaking, the door to the waiting room was opened.

Che Wuchen walked in.

"Sorry for interrupting the two of you playing "Two Little Loveless" (a 2003 French movie......" The car detective is also accurate and does not accept rebuttals, "Sir Moreno, Lance really doesn't know about this question of yours, but I can answer your ......"
