"The trial of the burglary on June 18, 2733 is now officially opened. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

As the wig-clad inquisitor knocked down the gavel, the cacophony of the enclosed staircase hall faded away, and at last only absolute silence remained.

The judgment hall in Red Maple Town is two notches smaller than Tridia, but it still has a solemn atmosphere. And because it is an infrequent criminal case, after the official announcement of Hongfeng Town, there were really a lot of townspeople who came to observe today, and the hall with more than a hundred seats was packed.

As the direct victim, Su Wen was sitting in the first row, squinting at the entrance of the trial hall, as if he was looking forward to what was about to appear.

"Cheating system, do you still think I'm wasting my points by doing this?"

While waiting, he asked silently with an unchanged face.

"Yes, based on past experience, the currency value to the cost of points is less than 5:1 for the commodity host, so it can be judged that exchanging 1500 points for the one-time use right of the assassination tool will produce 0 gold coins and other income items of equivalent value, which is worthless to you. ”

"You're right, if it was me before, even if it was just a few days ago, I wouldn't have made up my mind to do such a wasteful thing. ”

Su Wen rubbed his temples and readily admitted the system's statement.

There were five criminals involved in the burglary, and they were escorted into the arena in shackles by serious law enforcers with their arms upside down, and then sat down in a row in the defendant's seat.

Su Wen looked at the five criminals in prison uniforms, all of them were men, three humans, and two half-orcs with dark and green skin. The group looked less like the local residents and more like mercenaries on the migrants, the most notable of which was a bald man with a beard and a very tall man, even taller than the two orcs next to him.

As he was about to sit down in front of the defendant's bench, the tall, bald man looked around the audience in the trial hall with a cold gaze, and his angular and vicious eyes caused many people to let out low exclamations and whispers.

"It's started. ”

Su Wen muttered softly to himself.

When he briefly met the bald man's gaze, Su Wen seemed to feel the undisguised malice in the other party's eyes, but he just continued to glance at the five defendants with interest, and did not deliberately pay attention to the big man.

At the same time, on the log table in front of Su Wen, a black dot the size of an ant was moving slowly, and soon disappeared at the end of the wooden table.

On the high platform of the hall, the inquisitor began to read the materials.

"Defendant Jeffrey Rousseti, 34 years old, ancestral home in the province of Rakton in the Duolun Empire, human, professional mercenary, is the above information correct, Defendant No. 1?"

"Yes. ”

A short, stocky man with short hair bowed his head deeply and gave a dull reply.

"Defendant Christopher Duren, 28 years old, ancestral ......"

Only the inquisitor's loud voice echoed in the quiet trial hall, and Su Wen glanced at an inconspicuous area of the high platform, intentionally or unconsciously. There sat two mid-level magician-level magistrates, who watched the five criminals in the dock with calm eyes, ready to watch for emergencies.

The whole time, they didn't notice the slowly crawling ant on the ground.

Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that I didn't make a mistake." ”

After learning that the Brilliant Continent was fundamentally different from his original world, although most of the parts of the two worlds were similar, Su Wen knew that some things might not be applicable. Therefore, after careful consideration, he gave up the optical assassination equipment that could expose himself, and also gave up the methods such as neurotoxins that could not be determined whether they were effective, and finally chose the most direct and crude physical assassination.

"Directed Nambre robots. ”

This is the name of that black "ant".

In fact, if you look at it from the outside, it is indeed no different from a real ant, or it is a highly modified ant, except that its belly is filled with five miniature directional plastic mines, which can be placed in the path of the remote control at any time and place, and detonated according to the will of the remote controller.

For this kind of robot specially designed for assassination, Su Wen felt that he seemed to have used it a few times, and he had the impression that the effect was good, so he chose it among many physical damage weapons. Although due to their size, even if a nanobomb close to the power of the fusion reaction is used, the actual power of the mine is still very small, and it is difficult to cause any serious damage even if it is placed on the finger, if it is placed in the right place, such as a garment close to the heart, then the lethality rate is almost 100% when it is excited.

This is thanks to the two-stage detonation mechanism of the directional mine: the first detonation, at the discretion of the operator, ejects the mine's inner tank at a speed sufficient to penetrate the human body. Although such a small liner may not be able to cause death even if it penetrates the heart, the second stage of the explosion is controlled by temperature and humidity, and under the influence of the internal environment of the human body, the inner tank with the safety open will explode within one hundredth of a second, and the 60 laminated hardened plastic pieces that are the outer shell of the inner tank will be exploded radially, and the cavity effect generated by the high-speed rotation will allow them to kill from the inside out in a concealed and efficient manner. The hardened plastic fragments of the explosion will emerge from the front chest due to inertia, leaving tiny traces in the internal organs, like the shape of a lotus flower, but they are no larger than a human hair, and no one can see them without a magnifying glass.

Su Wen's expensive assassination was not only for revenge, but more importantly, for an attempt, he wanted to make sure that this weapon could be effectively killed and not yet discovered by those magic angels.

Now it seems that it worked well.

"Smack!"

At this moment, the sound of a striking wooden mallet sounded, and the judge's loud voice was stern: "Defendant No. 2, please raise your head when answering, do you admit direct responsibility for the stolen goods intercepted at the scene and the damage to the victim's home, and you cannot provide an alibi?"

The shouting orc was staring at a black ant on his sackcloth, but it was quickly startled by the sound of the mallet.

It quickly slapped the ant down, and then looked at the judge who was glaring at him, and he couldn't even speak clearly, but he was making some strange syllables that didn't make sense.

In fact, Su Wen had already seen that this group of defendants were all old fritters, and they seemed to know that they could not gain an advantage from the trial on the premise that everyone had stolen goods, so they didn't even bother to defend themselves, and when they were asked questions, they either talked nonsense or were perfunctory. If this was not a judgment hall but a stage, the townsfolk would have already begun to applaud.

"How long do you think they can go to jail?" Su Wen suddenly asked the system when he noticed that the audience behind him was dissatisfied with this trial without a sense of conflict.

"I don't know, maybe as long as you. ”

"A good answer, just stealing something, not even "robbing", and not stealing from the nobles, it is indeed not a felony. The criminal law of the Toron Empire convicted of this sentence from six months to three years in prison, but only a sufficient amount of bond was required, and the actual sentence would change from imprisonment to exile and parole...... Well, send it somewhere else like running water, and let it go. ”

"Maybe they don't have enough gold. ”

"Instead, I think they don't just have gold, but maybe they have a lot of money. Look at their attitudes, if they are not worried about their own future, who will put on a face with the judge who is in charge of his fate? ”

"You seem to be unhappy with the margin system, but you've been using it for half a year. ”

"I'm a good person, of course I can't be locked up in prison, but they're different, they're bad guys, do you think they'll change their ways?"

The system was silent for a long time.

"Good people don't take other people's lives easily. ”

"Oh, it's not a conflict, I'm only good when I'm in the face of good people. ”

As he spoke, Su Wen was staring at the back of the third human defendant, and on his prison uniform, the black ant that was indistinguishable to the naked eye not long ago was slowly crawling upward.

"Defendant No. 4, you have been charged with burglary, do you have anything to defend yourself for?"

The tall, bald man grinned, "Your Excellency, I don't think this charge is appropriate, and it should be better described as burglary." Because when we were rummaging through the cabinets, none of the citizens of Red Maple Town were staring at us. ”

The four people next to him immediately chimed in and started a heck, so that the inquisitor on the high platform had to bang on the gavel.

"Silence! You robbed and took away a half-elf, who was found to be a citizen of the city of Tridis, so I have reason to assume that this is a case of deliberate robbery. ”

The judge's words surprised Su Wen a little, and he couldn't help but set his eyes on Governor Lillard sitting in the side hall, the serious middle-aged magistrate was quietly watching the trial that was a bit of a farce, and didn't notice Su Wen's gaze at him.

Su Wen still remembered that last night, although Governor Lillard had replied that alien slaves could not be protected by the laws of the Duolun Empire, he still recorded Laetitia's household details in detail as if it were routine. Su Wen didn't have any hope for the trial anymore, so he didn't care much about this approach, but he didn't expect it to be taken out as the basis for the trial at this time.

It seems that he did some work, at least not to make the case absurdly characterized as theft.

However, after hearing the judge's words, the bald bearded man became excited: "That half-elf chick? Oh, I begin to regret why I didn't her at the time, so that Lao Tzu can boast that Lao Tzu has been a half-elf who is a human citizen!"

"Silence!"

The Inquisitor was clearly outraged by such rude words.

"You see, for such hopeless fellows, they should be sent to see the Goddess of Light, and then see if they have the courage to molest the Goddess. ”

"You don't believe in the Church of Light. ”

"Just kidding, can't you hear it, it's really boring......" Su Wen was a little disappointed, "But if it weren't for the good deeds that this group of people did yesterday, it is estimated that it will be either today or tomorrow, and I will leave Laetitia and set off north." You know, when I think about how I felt, I get scared. ”

Yes, Suvin will be scared too.

Although he didn't even want to admit it, the main reason why he planned to leave Laetitia in Tridis was indeed a serious misunderstanding of her, but why wasn't it to remain single? At that time, Su Wen didn't even know his own situation, and he didn't have the slightest scenery that a traverser should have, even if Laetitia didn't show an attitude of hating him, he might have found a reason to go on his own road.

However, from the beginning of the undead natural disaster, or from the moment he touched the original kinetic pistol of the Tianhaiyue M-01 type in the sewer, Su Wen's fate changed drastically.

From discovering his thirst for blood and killing, to fearing this desire in confusion, to accepting and using it, until now he is free to let go - this process is actually the process of Su Wen finding his true self, although he still can't recall what happened to him in his previous life, but at least the collapsed worldview is being re-established, and he is no longer the pervert who has been driven by the system for half a year to accept his fate like a walking corpse, but seems to have gained a new life.

And the reason why all these transformations erupted last night was entirely due to Laetitia's abnormality that caused Su Wen to make up his mind - in the glorious continent, he found the link that connected himself to this place for the first time, and it was also the first time that he realized that he could no longer live passively in the shadow of the system. He wanted to protect Laetitia, or give her the power to protect herself, so that the bond would never again be threatened as it was yesterday.

Su Wen felt that this result was not bad. Therefore, for these five initiators who almost led Laetitia to hell, Su Wen really has to express his gratitude well.

This death, worth 1,500 exchange points, was the best gift Su Wen had given them.

......

“...... As a result of the charge of 'wilful burglary and robbery of property', the amount of the stolen goods is assessed at 4,370 gold coins, and therefore I sentence you to imprisonment for 874 days in accordance with the law, a fine and an equivalent amount of gold coins to the injured party, and an additional security deposit of 8,740 gold coins may be converted to exile to the northern border. Are you dissatisfied with this, defendants 1 to 5?"

Defendant No. 4, the bald man with a beard, stood up with a smile.

"The leader of the lone wolf mercenary group is my own brother, and I really didn't pay too much attention to the more than 10,000 gold coins, so I can only blame us for being unlucky enough to meet that female knight! Hehe, don't worry, Lao Tzu has already remembered what she looks like, a high-ranking knight, do you really think you have no opponent, one day I will let her kneel on the ground and lick my ...... Ugh!"

Just as the gloomy inquisitor was about to knock down the gavel again, the arrogant man suddenly clutched his chest and snorted, as if he had been stabbed in the back.

But then he shook his head, and as if nothing happened, he let out a mouthful of thick phlegm and spat on the floor of the judgment hall.

"Hell, Lao Tzu's chest hurts a little. ”

"You will obey the judgment!"

The inquisitor on the high platform finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked loudly with a heavy banging on the gavel.

"Obey, of course obey, how can I disobey?" the bald man continued to laugh, "Wait, I'll be back to Red Maple Town in a few months, and I'll continue to obey when the time comes." ”

He sat back in front of the dock, and suddenly felt a faint smell of blood rising in his throat.

"What the hell, did I eat something bad?"

The inquisitors on the high platform were furious, but seemed helpless.

"Then, I declare my withdrawal from the court. ”

He struck the gavel one last time.

Then, the enforcers pressed the five criminals down the trial hall, and the officials began to leave the hall in an orderly manner, and the hall gradually resounded with discontented discussions—it was indeed not a wonderful trial, and there was nothing bright except for the arrogant remarks of the bald man at the end, which were worth the ticket price.

Su Wen's gaze fell quietly on the bald man who was a little staggering, and watched him disappear into the entrance of the trial hall.

"He's already bleeding, and he has about five minutes to live, so I hope to take advantage of the last bit of work to do a confession." ”

"According to remote sensing monitoring, the explosion point is the left atrial chamber, and the blood pressure is extremely high, so the time of death is faster than the host's judgment, at two minutes and 30 seconds. The system's response quickly appeared in front of his eyes: "The remaining four directional mines, does the host need to detonate them immediately?"

"After two minutes, it's safe, and no one will suspect anyone present. ”

"Yes. ”
