Chapter 2: Dusty Memories
There was no light in the dark chamber, only the glow of candles surrounded me. When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying within a large pentagram, and at the foot of the column sat my five brothers and sisters. Their expressions were different, Emily's face was full of concern, Thor's was displeased, and Leos was completely impatient, but he grimaced at me and said hello anyway.
This is the planet Gandar of the First World, and not long ago, as the patron saint of the Third World, I devoured the power of demons and intended to attack the Protoss realm, but unfortunately my brothers and sisters knew about it, and they teamed up to take me down. This is a judgment against me, and they are the ones who will decide my fate, and I will have to win the support of the majority if I want to survive.
The most unsettling thing about this wave of people is Luna, who spends her days on the moral high ground and wants to do justice and destroy evil. Luna's justice is a kind of pure moral governance, and morality is a collective contract that people have reached in order to survive in a world of the jungle, and its appearance is the result of people defending their own interests or the interests of the whole. There has never been a standard of morality, but for what I've done, I think I'm going to be liquidated in Luna's morality. And her twin sister Lina has always been brainless and supportive of her, so I lost two votes before I even started.
Of the remaining three, Emily is a good sister and a person who doesn't take justice very seriously. She's very affectionate, so I have every reason to believe she'll try to save her little brother. What's more, her worldview is * naked natural selection, and what I did is probably just a forceful means in her understanding, and should not be sanctioned.
Thor is just as much a justiceist as Luna, but unlike the substantive justice that Luna pursues, he prefers procedural justice, making the written rules an element of whether or not I am guilty or not, and whether or not I am actually guilty is an afterthought. Planet Gandar belongs to the First World and is Emily's jurisdiction, and Thor has no extrajudicial jurisdiction, so it is not surprising that his opinion will be in line with Emily.
Leos is the biggest variable among these five people, this person is like a gentleman, and the motivation to do things often stays on interest, and his behavior cannot be deduced by common sense. In addition, because of Prescia, he has been in Qianshui all the year round, and I know very little about him, so it is very important that I can get him to take an interest in me.
"Filas, in light of your crimes on Gandar, can you voluntarily plead guilty?" Luna was like a judge, sitting there judging my crimes.
"Confess? What am I guilty of? Should I be sentenced to death just because I killed a group of evil demons?"
"Filas, I need to remind you that it is also illegal to sanction illegal acts by illegal means, and it can also constitute a crime. "It must have been Thor who said that.
"But this is the first world, and it doesn't seem illegal to fight violence here. I deliberately looked at Emily's reaction, and the latter's nod gave me a lot of support.
"If the law doesn't prohibit it, you'll get a fair trial. "Obviously, Thor doesn't like me, but I don't need him to like it, because this guy who only plays by the rules and regulations will support me anyway.
Whatever the rule here is, the wicked deserve to be judged. Filrath, you destroyed a group of demons, but you devoured their power, making you an even greater demon. As for why you didn't attack those good races, it was simply because your plan was not implemented, and we found out and stopped the evil in time. Luna's gaze burned me like a flame, making me feel uncomfortable.
"First of all, I have to state that although I have devoured the power of demons and possessed the power of demons, this does not mean that I am a demon. Whether a person is good or evil should be determined by his behavior, not by his original sin. I, Filrath, destroyed the demons, and not only did not harm the other races, but instead upheld the good race, which is an act of angels and should be commended rather than punished. As for the plan you mentioned, it was only a means to confuse the demons, and it was never carried out. Let me take responsibility for what I have not done, I will not accept it, and no one in the world will accept it. "I pretended to be righteous, but out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at Leos and saw that the guy was snickering. This should be a good sign.
Over the next few days, a series of questions and answers continued between Luna and me, until one day it became clear that there were no more new questions, and the trial was terminated.
"Let's vote, raise your right hand in favor of Firras's punishment, and raise your left hand if you think you are innocent. "Maybe it's because the confrontation in the past few days has been more serious, and I don't know when it has been replaced by Leos to preside over the case.
"Two to two, I agree with Emily, three to two, Fillas is not guilty. "Leos gave me a gesture of victory, and I smiled happily in return.
"Thank you to the gods and your kindness and justice, although for me, justice came a little late, but after all, I was not absent, and in the end, I still have to return the kindness to me a pure land. I deliberately glanced at the angry Luna and Lina as I said the last sentence, and the latter flicked his sleeves and walked out of the secret room.
Now that he has been acquitted, he will naturally be released. When I came outside the prison, I saw the bright sunshine and fresh air, and I was in a very good mood. But the sudden thunder suddenly sent my mood to the bottom, and I saw Luna standing above the clouds, yelling at me angrily:
"Filas, justice may be late, but it will never be absent!"
I was so happy and sad that I ignored such a fact. The reason why I was able to come out was that there was no law here, and it was reasonable to fight violence with violence, so how could Luna not use such a means to hit me? What should I do? In this case, Emily must have been held back, and Leos had already run away, so do you expect Thor?
I looked at Thor, who was opening the portal to the Second World, who just gave me a cold look, then at Luna in the sky, replied "Human", and then disappeared.
This is born from the same root, so why not be in a hurry to fry each other. I looked desperately at the sky, where several lightning bolts had struck.
