Chapter 6: Retreat
[You've made your choice, and you have 10 minutes to defend yourself]
[If the defense fails, the court of truth will enforce the death penalty]
……
"Nothing to do with you?" Gray Mask's tone revealed disbelief, and then he said with pity, "Human memory does not lie. ”
Red Mask was directly furious: "Suspect Jiang Qian! Your motive for committing the crime is clear, the process of committing the crime is detailed, and I advise you to be honest with the court and give up quibbles! ”
Jiang Qian's pupils froze.
"Don't quibble" - is what is stated in the quest hint.
But there is still an essential difference between quibbling and defending.
Jiang Qianyan said succinctly: "I apply to defend myself. ”
10 minutes was not much time left for him to think about what to do, but at least he was safe for the next 10 minutes.
The great axe above his head was not cut off.
The high enforcers looked at each other, as if they could not ignore some kind of rule and forcibly influence the movement of the execution rack.
And when they looked at Jiang Qian on the interrogation chair again, Jiang Qian's expression had returned to its original calmness.
Jiang Qian quickly recalled all the details since entering this room, what he had seen, heard and felt:
They accuse me of me, there's no denying that! However, after I sat down, I felt dizzy for no reason, as if the memory palace in my head had shook, preventing me from anchoring the causes and consequences of these memories......
My emotions were stable, but when I looked back on the memories of being beaten by Jiang Yang, anger and hatred filled my mind, and I couldn't help but want to destroy him.
Did I really kill him? No. Then the test of the dungeon will become unsolvable.
And this modus operandi is too hasty, leaving a lot of hidden dangers. If I make up my mind to do this, I will plan it carefully and deliberate until I choose the perfect solution......
Jiang Qian's pupils contracted suddenly, and he was full of thoughts for a moment.
The grey-masked prosecutor tapped his fingers on the table.
Facing Jiang Qian, he said in a low and serious tone: "You have to understand the consequences of doing this, maliciously covering up the truth will only make you more guilty." ”
Jiang Qian slowly retracted his thoughts: "Well, if I gamble on the sexual happiness of the rest of my life, I will also overturn the case with you." ”
The craftsmanship is almost gone, what kind of sexual happiness are you talking about?
Besides, just now, he had figured it out.
Gray Mask rubbed his brow: "Well, what a madman...... I ask you, is this crime from your memory? ”
"It's my memory." Jiang Qian replied truthfully.
"So, do you even have to question your own memory?" Gray Mask said incredulously.
"To correct, it's not the memory that I'm questioning, it's the nature of the memory." Jiang Qian raised the corners of his mouth, "I admire such a method, stealing concepts between memories and facts that have happened. It's so beautiful, even I was almost denied it. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
The Grey Mask raised his voice, but it was revealing the weakness of his heart.
"Quite simply, the reason why this 'murder' is in my memory is because I did have such thoughts, and it became part of my memory, stored in my mind. However, it was not put into practice. ”
"Messing up my memories makes it impossible to distinguish between what happened and what I had in mind that I had planned but didn't implement. And then kill my head with a fictional crime. ”
Jiang Qian moved his hands in shackles, as if reminiscing about a series of "touches" just now.
Holding the wire of the barbecue mouse, the resistance when he was beaten by Jiang Yang, the moment when the small medicine lump was crushed into powder when grinding sleeping pills, and the pain and numbness left by the piano line being tightened in the palm for a long time......
These touches are mixed together, as if they can really be fake.
But what is false is what is false.
Focus on one gap and they will be full of holes.
"Why do you not only make me 'see', but also 'feel'?"
"Is it to enhance the fait accompli of memory, or is it to stimulate my emotional response to sensory stimuli and make me more convinced that I have killed someone?"
Jiang Qian turned from defense to offense, his eyes firmly fixed on the gray mask.
"Your imagination is so rich...... But that's not true. ”
The gray mask still didn't let go, so he repeated the trick to induce Jiang Qian: "Think about it, you hate Jiang Yang!" He never treats you as a younger brother, bullies you, controls you, and tramples on your preferences at will! You already have the idea, so why shouldn't you implement it? ”
"There are a thousand women you want to sleep with, and you want to sleep with them all?" Jiang Qian responded lightly.
"You!" The Grey Mask trembled his fingers as if he had been greatly humiliated.
Red Mask also slapped the table angrily, so angry that his voice was out of tune: "Bold suspect!" How dare you openly insult the court? If you step on a horse, Lao Tzu will hammer you to death in minutes!! ”
Jiang Qian was slightly stunned, where have I seen this fool before?
Of course, no matter how much the other party knocks on the side and instigates him to admit his guilt, he will ignore it.
He had finished what he had to say, and he was convinced of his reasoning. Unless the other party comes up with a new set of assertions that can cover all the details, there is no need for him to get involved in the quarrel.
……
[End of 10-minute countdown]
[If the defense is successful, you will be acquitted]
Acquittal is too hasty, isn't it? Mistaken arrest and misjudgment, don't you give some compensation for mental damages...... Jiang Qian didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to argue silently.
"Boom"
A heavy tremor sounded overhead.
The great axe, almost next to his neck, began to rise slowly, and the blade was far away from his vital point, disappearing into the headspace.
The interrogation chair where Jiang Qian was sitting also returned to the shape of a sofa, and the half of the steel bar was still standing aside.
In the courtroom in front of him, the red-masked presiding judge's figure gradually distorted, turning into an evil face, struggling to pounce on Jiang! The tip of his tongue covered with barbs almost licked Jiang Qian's face!
was swung by Jiang Qian's steel bar, and a dazzling blood mark was cut.
The gray mask turned into a black shadow and fled, aiming at the gap behind Jiang Sneaking, wanting to sneak attack from behind!
It's a pity that an invisible force limits him.
The fatal lore turned into an impotent rage, and Jiang Qian could no longer be approached.
Jiang Qian's ears came with a hint:
[Hint: The "Trial" movie viewing mission has been completed, and the main story has been updated]
[Main Quest: Arrive at the "Abyss Video Hall" and complete your exclusive movie quest (3/7)]
Mission progress updated from 1/7 to 3/7.
The scene in front of him returned to the way Jiang Qian first entered the screening room.
The screen in front of me has gone out.
"It's over."
Jiang Qian sighed.
"You can make a fuss about your memory, even the missing person, this copy is really yin."
Not wanting to linger in this room for a moment, he turned and walked out.
Back in the hallway.
Jiang Qian once again carefully looked at the poster posted at the door of the No. 1 screening room.
Under the huge torture rack, there are trapped people who are crawling and allowed to be slaughtered......
Jiang Qian touched his neck, and there was still a cold touch on it that was clinging to a sharp weapon.
It is conceivable that if he had been carried away by the anger and hatred towards Jiang Yang just now, he would have suffered a price that should not have belonged to him like the trapped person on the poster.
This is thanks to Jiang Yang. He had been missing for too long, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, so that Jiang Qian couldn't hold much hatred when he thought of him now.
As for the memory of murder, it is not so much an attempted plan as an "unintentional insertion": after brushing up on a murder movie many years ago, I was so excited that I used Jiang Yang as a target to make up the plot.
"The key to this level is to have a clear mind and a firm mind, so that you can not be disturbed and bewitched by other evil thoughts."
There was silence for a while.
Let go of the past that comes with memories.
Jiang Qian walked to the No. 2 screening room.
……
Beijing Public Security Bureau.
Special Service Center - Information and Intelligence Department.
Bai Ji saw that the progress bar of the "Heart Demon Whispering" in progress had advanced again, and he unconsciously stopped drinking tea.
This progress is more than 1/3 of the way!
Quickly called the relevant recorder to ask about the frequency of cannibalism of the Demon Whisper copy this year, and released a signal that he might work overtime tonight.
In addition to the current one, a total of 15 people have been pulled into the whispers of demons this year.
Of those, 12 died at the beginning, and 3 were 1/3 of the way and stopped at this record.
Bai Ji fell silent.
Right now, this guy who is experiencing life and death in the dungeon is already in the top 20% of the trialists, which is very good.
As long as he goes one step further and pushes his progress to 2/3, he will be the breakthrough of this year's record for this dungeon.
But it's more likely that he, like the three trialists this year, will fall to the next level.
"Alas! How lucky I didn't have such a nightmare when I first opened......"
