Chapter 654: Interrogation (Part II)
General Zode was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Since we have lost, we have nothing to say." Being a good commander, or even a good soldier, is already a loser after falling into the hands of the enemy. We have never regretted this operation, and we have already sworn to pay all the price for the rebirth of our nemesis. Life is nothing, we work hard for the race, and we die honorably and deservedly! ”
"To die honorably is to die well!" Fiora couldn't wait to repeat in unison, her face was bright, and her tone was solemn and promised, as if she was repeating her vows, and it was also like revealing her heart.
The audience of all ethnic groups in the audience was inexplicably shocked, and they only felt that the sacrifice spirit of this group of people was too admirable.
Superman's face was indifferent, but the constant trembling of his eyes could still tell that he was not at peace in his heart. He grew up on the earth since he was a child, and has been playing on the farm since he can remember, passively receiving the worldview values of a small country couple, and receiving the most basic education and outlook on life of the earthlings in school. Thirty-three years of growth, he is like a "banana" person who is an internal earthling and an external nemesis, and his understanding of nemesis is only similar to the image shown by his father, and he really can't understand the emotions of General Zode and others towards nemesis.
However, even so, he was also shocked by the attitude of General Zode and others. Although they didn't look at him from beginning to end, and didn't say a word of accusation, his heart was inexplicably uncomfortable, as if he was burned by the fire of guilt, and he was a traitor.
In fact, he could faintly feel another layer of meaning from Zode and the others, but the discovery of this layer made him even more difficult to accept, and even had an inexplicable sense of fear - to continue the nemesis clan.
Through the fragmentary language of General Zode in the air during several contact operations, he has basically understood his physical condition. The central treasure book that they had crossed the sea of stars and came to find with great difficulty had actually been copied into their own cells by their father.
The children of billions of nemesis people were all carried on their backs, and the sudden discovery of the burden made Superman almost breathless.
The sensitive Louis senses Superman's anomaly and reaches out his small white hand to grab Superman's big hand, hoping to give him some comfort. Superman looked up at Louis. Louis nodded firmly.
Superman was a little relieved, smiled reluctantly, and shook her little hand back.
* The officer quietly listened to General Zod's statement, and watched him and his companions look heroic and righteous. Gently pushing his glasses, he said lightly: "Zod, are you sure you don't need a lawyer?" ”
General Zode shook his head and said in a firm tone: "Kill if you want to, don't do these disgusting cumbersome procedures, this is the biggest insult to us, can't you respect a soldier's last choice?" ”
* The official still said indifferently: "I personally have a lot of respect for brave soldiers, but I don't think there is any contradiction between this and accepting a lawyer." This will greatly improve the efficiency of our trial. A lawyer may seem to you a disgusting cumbersome, but at least he can tell you that we have abolished the death penalty for more than a millennium! ”
The expressions of General Zode and the others instantly stiffened. I didn't know what to say.
Someone in the audience finally couldn't help it, and the laughter of "poof" and "poof" kept coming. The most embarrassing thing is actually Superman, who has just been almost immersed in the tragic hero character of "having to send his fellow people to court, and then he will carry the fate of a planet alone". At this time, he was laughed at, and he suddenly couldn't get up or down. I couldn't cry or laugh in my heart, and I didn't know what expression to use!
"Silence!"
The four jurors on the second floor picked up small wooden hammers at the same time and struck the wooden mats in front of them with the same rhythm, maintaining the solemn atmosphere of the courtroom.
Seeing that the courtroom was quiet again, the ** officer spoke again: "Do you think you need a lawyer now?" ”
General Zod's face changed for a moment, but he finally nodded.
Although he had lost a lot of face just now, this kind of shame also made him think about one thing. Since there is no such thing as the death penalty at all. The remaining sentence is nothing more than a long prison sentence. This kind of punishment is more cruel to them, but it has a chance to live.
After all, they are already the dead remnants of the nemesis civilization, and they really can't be sacrificed until the last resort.
The lifespan of a nemesis is long, and it is not a matter to live for one or two thousand years casually. The high development of biochemical technology has made the death of a natural alternation almost eliminated in the social hierarchy, and there are always people with higher qualifications on it. The people below don't have to think about getting ahead. It was in this situation that for the sake of social tranquility and the continuation of the nemesis civilization, they handed over all the work of reproduction to the machine and made a detailed plan.
A mustache in a suit and leather shoes strode to General Zod's side. looked at the others, turned his head and nodded to General Zode, and instead of communicating but turned directly to the * officer, he said, "Your Excellency, lawyer Lanka is already in place!" ”
"Okay!" * The official nodded and continued, "Then let's continue with the previous question, Zod, do you plead guilty?" ”
Zod looked at the lawyer Lanka beside him, and saw that his face was calm, as if he hadn't heard it at all. The heart was slightly cold, and the heart said that they were really still those disgusting gestures.
Raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashed with inexplicable contempt, and said loudly: "Recognize!" But I don't think it's a sin, the law of the jungle is the supreme reason for the survival of cosmic creatures, we are here to survive, in order to continue our civilization. ”
His subordinates were excited at the same time, shouting, "For our civilization!" ”
Someone in the audience laughed again, and Superman looked up at the people around him who were constantly talking to each other, puzzled to hear what they were saying, only to find that his super hearing was out of order. Suddenly looking up at the sky, I remembered that this place had already been transformed into a special environment that weakened the nemesis.
Zod also saw someone laughing again, but he was disdainful, thinking that they were jealous of his strong beliefs.
* The official was silent, and the lawyer Lanka came over and whispered expressionlessly: "Don't say superfluous words, just answer whatever your lord asks, the more you say, the more you can only show your ignorance and ridiculousness." By the way, the law of survival of the jungle is the survival law of the 'creatures' in the universe, and fairness and trustworthiness are the common benchmarks for the 'intelligent life' in the universe. ”
Zod's eyelids twitched, he felt that he was really unlucky today, he came up and stood for a few minutes, and he was all visible!
*The official obviously figured out Zod's situation to some extent, and directly ignored the second half of his sentence, and said directly: "In view of the detailed information provided by the government agencies of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the S-plane, I will directly make the following judgments: 1. Deprive Zod, Fiora and other twenty-two S-plane nemesis of their political identity.
2. Compensate the earth for the damage to the foundation of civilization, the panic of the people, the destruction of large-scale buildings, and the casualties of the three thousand cosmic points of the Republic, which is equivalent to 300 billion cosmic credit points.
3. Exile in the Endless Dark Star Domain for 3,000 years, and... ”
There were three trials, and there weren't many things that Zod could understand, but the number of three thousand years of exile still made his eyelids jump.
"Wait!"
Lawyer Lanka suddenly jumped out and raised his hand to stop.
"Your Excellency, first of all, I would like to explain that your verdict is completely reasonable, and I have not found any place in it that complies with the provisions of the Great Cosmic Star Law. But after all, the law is a dead thing, and it is not suitable for the final judgment of such an act of Zode and others. For example, they are imprisoned for life, but after imprisonment, the earth's reparations will not reach for at least 3,000 years. You must know that the earth of the S plane is not yet a second-level civilization. Three thousand years later, they don't know how many generations later! ”
"What are you going to say?" * The official put down the document with no displeasure on his face.
"According to the provisions of the "Great Cosmic Star Law", special war criminals during the plane war can directly atone for their crimes with their military exploits, and even reduce their sentences!"
General Zod's eyes lit up, and he looked at Lanka as if he were seeing an angel.
