Chapter 309: Justice, Neutrality, and Balance

Hearing Shao Dong say that there is a clause in the rules of hell to protect human beings, Rena, who has taken hunting demons as her life goal and has been practicing it to this day, was stunned.

Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, the things in front of him made him have to admit that what Shao Dong said was true, because now Huo Shengtian was grasping this and wanted to put Shao Dong to death.

Such a refreshed statement even surpassed the excitement of seeing a fallen angel, and Rena couldn't help but mutter: "It's not like this, how can the demons in hell set rules to protect humans, this must not be true." ”

But Shao Dong's next words once again refreshed her three views.

"This rule was set at the time of the truce between Hell and Heaven, and it was also established by mutual agreement between Hell and Heaven. Frankly speaking, all the demons at that time underestimated the strength of the demon hunters controlled by heaven, at that time they could slaughter the mid-level demons in batches, and after accumulating strength, they could even destroy the human projection of the high-level demons, it is not an exaggeration to say that the glory that the demons finally created in the human world was all destroyed by the hands of the demon hunters. ”

Heaven and Hell are in truce, and they can jointly determine such a rule, compared to the original rules of hell that cannot directly kill humans, this rule that demons can kill demon hunters directly shows that Heaven's attitude towards demon hunters is not as friendly as imagined, they are just using human beings.

After a little relief, Shao Dong continued: "Today, Heaven has given up its support for the Demon Hunters, but what is the reason why Hell is still sticking to this rule? ”

"But ... ”

Before Huo Shengtian's words were finished, Shao Dong immediately interrupted him.

"But my behavior did violate this rule, which is no longer in line with the current situation, right!" Shao Dong smiled bitterly, and then said: "I don't make any excuses for my actions, if my behavior can awaken the contract to re-examine this unreasonable rule, I am willing to accept punishment." ”

Huo Shengtian didn't expect Shao Dong to not make an excuse, but directly questioned the rationality of the rules. This situation was not at all what he expected, and no demon had the courage to do so.

Strictly speaking, he also deeply believes in Shao Dong's statement, but is the current situation the moment to discuss this topic? If it were another occasion, he might have raised his limbs in favor of Shao Dong's proposal, but admitting this statement now does not mean that he also thinks that Shao Dong's behavior is reasonable!

"Is that your response?"

Huo Shengtian glanced at Shao Dong, Shao Dong at this time looked very much like a warrior who was ready to die, combined with what he said just now, it was quite a bit of a posture of dedication for the truth.

"Don't talk so highly, I'm just planning for the future of hell, and as for my personal problems, they are not that important compared to the whole hell. ”

After Shao Dong finished speaking, he looked up at the contract, and then said: "Mr. Huo, you can make a closing statement now, I have nothing more to say." ”

What to say about the closing statement, Huo Shengtian had already thought about it, but at this moment, he couldn't say it.

The closing argument he thought of always revolved around the fact that Shao Dong had killed someone, and he was confident that no matter how much Shao Dong quibbled, it was useless. But now that Shao Dong admits the fact of the killing, he questions the rationality of the rules.

This was simply beyond his expectations, and no one would choose to question the rules rather than defend themselves when convicted.

This is equivalent to a human murderer admitting his homicide, but questioning the incorrectness of the provisions of the criminal law that govern his actions. If you are dealing with a human judge, it is almost impossible to change the statute because of a criminal act.

But now they are facing a contract, which is at the top of all the rules, and the contract can really do this kind of thing by modifying the rules, after all, when this rule was made, it was the contract that was used!

"Shao Dong... Those who have admitted the fact of murder should be punished according to the rules. That one... Hopefully, the contract will make a fair judgment, and my closing argument is over. ”

After stumbling and speaking, Huo Shengtian wiped a handful of sweat that appeared on his forehead at some point.

Such a sloppy closing statement was too different from what he had planned in his heart, but there were only a few words he could say. For some reason, he vaguely felt that it seemed impossible for him to win this time.

After listening to Huo Shengtian's words, Shao Dong raised his head and always maintained the posture of a martyr, and said loudly: "I have nothing to say, I believe that the contract can make a reasonable judgment." ”

The contract, which was supposed to make a judgment immediately after Shao Dong finished speaking, did not react uncharacteristically this time. Floating quietly in the air, the inky light flickered, as if trying to think.

This abnormal situation made Les feel a little surprised, although he was not good at conviction and had never used contracts, but after all, his age was there, and his insight was still quite good.

There have been cases like this that have been delayed for a long time, but it has happened when hell and heaven are fighting to the extreme, and the reason for the judgment is also a matter of vital importance to the survival of the two worlds.

Because a demon killed a human and this situation occurred, Les could only secretly admire Lucifer's ability to recognize people far beyond all the demon kings in hell.

Shao Dong's heart was far more nervous than his face showed at this time. I was thinking of stealing a new concept and trying to define Farr as a witcher in order to justify my actions.

But Huo Shengtian had already anticipated Shao Dong's idea, so Shao Dong immediately changed his strategy and decided to start with the neutral attitude of the contract.

As Lucifer once said, the contract is absolutely neutral and does not take sides, so Shao Dong read something else from Lucifer's words.

Absolute neutrality is to maintain absolute balance, and the rules for demons to kill witchers are no longer very balanced, so if you start from here, you may be able to find a glimmer of life.

It's just that whether the contract will approve Shao Dong's statement, it's hard to say. Shao Dong can only put himself in the position of a martyr and use his attitude to infect the contract, even if he is not successful, he will die a very good man.

Just when Shao Dong felt that his neck had begun to ache a little, the contract finally reacted. The thick thorns directly bounced off Rice's wings, quietly wrapping Shao Dong, and blood flowed out through the cracks in the thorns.

The contract convicted Shao Dong!
