Chapter 240: Reversing the Judgment
If we need to investigate it now, whose fault is it that led to the current tragic end?
Was it the fault of the bastard who suddenly turned on the lights at that time?
Is it your own fault? Is it Li Wu's fault?
Or is it their fault that they have lost their beautiful bonds in the midst of ugly intrigues?
Arisa wistfully lifted the yellow hard hat on her head and carefully curled up under the rubble.
Twenty years have passed since the world was completely reduced to a wasteland, and the rest of the people are left to survive in the flames of war.
In the distance, only half of the Ferris wheel remained, the notch unusually flat as if it had been cut diagonally by a hot laser, while the other half lay miserably in the grass, already crawling with rust, like an old corpse.
That is where the first war broke out, the root of all evil.
Arisa shrewdly shields her partner from sneaking through the shadows, gathering precious food and water – and the reason why she has to do this is something you can find out when you look up.
It was a massive wing that stretched for hundreds of kilometers and seemed to obscure the sky, connected to a relatively small figure at its starting point.
Every now and then, white rays of light descended from those wings like space-based weapons, creating new ruins in a deafening roar.
"She" spoke to the ground as if she were talking to herself.
"My predecessors once told me that magical girls can convert huge amounts of energy when their emotions fluctuate violently, and they are even enough to be used by alien creatures to stop the heat death of the universe...... I always thought it was just a lie to scare us, but I didn't expect it to be true. ”
The girl with the wings of light set her eyes on the remnants of the wall where the two were hiding, "It's all thanks to you, Airisa, and Li Jun!" ”
Rumble!
A magic cannon landed beside them at a fraction of a millimeter distance, sending up a cloud of smoke and dust.
"You can't run away like this."
Li Wu clenched his fists, "As long as you communicate with her carefully, you will definitely be able to explain things clearly!" It was just an accident! ”
"No way!"
Arisa pounced and hugged him who wanted to get up and walk out from behind the cover, "Hoshikawa-san's current witch has become a witch!" She can't hear you! ”
"Airisa...... Let me go. ”
Feeling the determination contained in the other party's words, she couldn't help but let go of her hand.
"What happened at that time was a mistake that the two of us made together. Now, it's up to me to end it all! ”
Li Wu waved his hand with his back to her, and then stopped, "When this battle is over, let's go back to our hometown and get married." ”
Arisa jerked her head up, her eyes filled with tears.
"Okay!"
The next moment, a thick pillar of light engulfed the two, and they would never be separated.
*
"Do you think playing stupid will put this matter over?!"
Shiratori Makai carried it with a mysterious smile, and the collar of Arisa, who didn't know what she was delusional about, dangled around.
"Prosecutor, I think there's something else going on in this matter."
Li Wu raised his hand and tried to express his opinion, but was glared at fiercely.
"Li Wujun, please shut up! You haven't cleared the suspicion of crime yet! Look at the bad influence you have on the victim and presiding judge! ”
Why are the victims and the presiding judge the same person?
She pointed to Aoi Hoshikawa, who was standing on the table in front of her with a makeshift "presiding judge" seat.
The precarious Ferris wheel saved a life due to the patience of the magical girl, and in the awkward atmosphere along the way, the group who had no intention of playing again first returned to the activity room of the current brave club of the original club.
Hoshikawa Aoi, who was named, looked up at her.
"I don't have a problem at all."
She stroked the motionless Demon Xiaobai, who was disguised as a doll, and looked quite calm.
"Huh...... Hey? Hoshikawa-san, this mentality is really not to be underestimated. ”
On the contrary, the prosecutor's side began to shake violently, "Is this the so-called wind of generals?" ”
"I'll be embarrassed to praise people like that."
Hoshikawa Aoi smiled, "By the way, you see, I just found out that she can recover Xiaobai's head by twisting it like this!" ”
"Stop your cat abuse!"
Shiratori Mao hurriedly rescued Xiaobai from her hands as if she had been ravaged by the top powerhouses of the four bear child worlds, and Li Wu, who saw this scene, was also condemned in his heart.
"Aoi ......"
"What's the matter? Li Jun? I won't do this to Xiaobai again. ”
"That's good, but I actually want to talk about what happened on the Ferris wheel......"
"It's not hers who really wants to cut off the head, but someone else, right?"
The time in the activity room seemed to stop flowing, and everyone fell into the silence brought by the sense of terror, until the other party smiled again: "Really, how can I react like this, including Xiaobai's matter, of course I was joking just now." ”
Everyone covered their chests with relief and breathed a sigh of relief.
"How can a waste wood character like me who watches her boyfriend kiss in person with other women is qualified to make such a high-level action as 'Chai Knife'!"
Hoshikawa Aoi fell on the table and cried, "To use a game metaphor, it's the kind of woman who will be abandoned on her birthday, watch her lover and best friend kiss at the airport, and be dumped again after three years of reunion!" ”
The object of the parable is too specific!
"The victim's soul has been severely traumatized."
Mai Shiratori crossed her arms and sighed.
"It's better for you to keep up the same way you just ......"
Li Wu wanted to lean over but was stopped by Shiratori, who was sitting next to her, handed over a tissue, and then continued to move between the two people with the "suspect" Xika in front of him with empty eyes.
She hadn't said a word since she got off the Ferris wheel, and to be honest, Hoshikawa's reaction was even more heart-wrenching.
A few minutes later, when the magical girl finally quieted down, Shiratori Mao returned to her seat and patted the table: "Anyway, now let me briefly describe the case again: today we participated in the new facility Dark Ferris Wheel at the place of the crime, Around1, and after such and such a pleasant time, Li Wujun and Airisa got together. ”
"I think this description is somewhat misleading."
Suspect Number 1 protested.
"It's like a shoddy film, skipping the crucial part of the process......"
The last person present made the same opinion, "Can I go?" ”
Miyashiro Riyu, who had the word "jury" standing in front of her, pointed to herself and asked, "Although I saw something quite interesting, it shouldn't have anything to do with me, right?" Why do I have to stay here? ”
She really wanted to escape from this land of right and wrong as soon as possible.
The Brave Division is too scary! Not to mention that she was almost poisoned by Shiratori's classmates, she also saw such an exciting thing, and as a media practitioner, she won't be killed by these people, right?
"No, Miyayo-san, too, is an eyewitness, you can't go."
The prosecutor dismissed her arguments and sat down on her shoulder.
"Huh-"
The girl's complaining prolonged tone at the end of the sentence was drowned out by the sound of Mai Shiratori slapping the table again.
"All in all, the prosecution found guilty and recommended the death penalty."
"Grass Kan human life!"
"Shut up, everything I do is righteous!"
Just when the two were arguing, Airisa was wandering out of the world, Hoshikawa Aoi was traumatized, and Hikaru fell into autism, Miyashiro Liliu, who wanted to end this farce as soon as possible, stood up: "That, let me interject, isn't the most important thing now to figure out why the combination of personnel became like the last one?" ”
The prosecutor, who was still imposing just now, suddenly panicked.
"The allocation of people and personnel is just a trivial matter...... The key now is the fact that the kiss gave Hoshikawa-san a fatal blow! A victim has appeared! ”
Miyashiro Liliu nodded calmly: "I don't deny this, but even if it is a murder, there is a distinction between intention, negligence and even accidents, and the suspect's criminal intent is also an important part that needs to be screened." ”
She took off the card in front of her, folded it inward, and then wrote the word "lawyer" with a marker, and sat down beside Arisa in a dignified manner.
"I'm going to file an objection with the presiding judge! As far as I can recall, the initial grouping was supposed to be me and Li Wu's group, but in fact, it became me and Shiratori. I'm going to ask Suspect One now, do you have any bad intentions against me? ”
Li Wu shook his head: "We are just relatively familiar classmates. ”
"What a cold statement!"
Miyayo Liliu complained, "But I think everyone should be able to believe that even if classmate Li Wu wants to attack the people here, he shouldn't pick me." ”
"It's as if he's going to do something to us......"
Arisa finally came to her senses.
"What do you want to say?"
A layer of cold sweat faintly appeared on the door of Shiratori's head.
"I want to ask Li Wu again, what kind of intention did you have in mind to do that kind of thing at that time?"
"Because Hoshikawa told me before that he had swapped the fluorescent cards between me and Airisa, I ......"
It's still too shameful to say it directly, he paused before continuing, "So I felt like I hadn't done anything at the time, and I wanted to leave some cherished memories with her." ”
Hoshikawa Aoi, who was lying on the table and playing the corpse, finally raised her head.
"That means ...... Does Li Jun want, that, and me? ”
Although the language was fragmented, it still expressed her meaning, and Li Wu nodded in agreement.
"But it turned out to be like this, sorry."
Arisa silently turned her head away from the two men.
What happened to her, can it only be an untimely mistake?
Syllable.
Miyashiro Riyu clapped her hands and concluded: "In other words, Hoshikawa-san, who said that he couldn't cheat on the matter of the group, still fouled, in a sense, planted the initial evil consequences. ”
"Woo......"
The presiding judge hung his head.
"However, if only Hoshikawa-san's operation had been there, it wouldn't have led to today's tragedy."
She turned to the prosecutor whose face had become ugly, "There must be someone else muddying the waters!" Shiratori-san, why did you me when you were on the Ferris wheel?! ”
As soon as these words came out, the girls around Shiratori looked at her in surprise, and then distanced themselves from her without a trace.
"That kind of thing has nothing to do with this case!"
She argued feebly.
"Hmph...... Unless you declare that you have long been in love with me now, there is only one truth. You're also involved in cheating, so you think I'm 'someone'. ”
Miyayo smiled meaningfully, "As for who it is, I will leave it to everyone to guess, and I, an outsider, will not add more beaks." ”
The presiding judge gave her a skeptical look.
"I, I testify, she told me about the methods and processes of cheating."
Airisa stood up with her hands propped on the table, "And it's not just real clothes, Hoshikawa-sans and Koko too!" ”
I don't want to hide it for them anymore.
She turned the accusing words into bullets and fired them at everyone: "Everyone is involved in cheating, including me...... I think it is precisely because we all chose the way of intrigue in an ugly way, forgetting the bonds and friendships that we have forged together, that we will usher in the end of the destruction of the world in the war. ”
"Destroyed in war!?"
Hoshikawa Aoi looked at her in confusion, and Prosecutor Shiratori sat down in his chair weakly as if he had been accused of corruption in court.
"After many considerations, I think the verdict in this case has been very clear."
Miyashiro Riyu solemnly put forward her opinion, "This tragedy is an 'accident' created by various human factors, and I think it must be said that if anyone is guilty, it is the staff who turned on the lights and lit the fuse for some reason." ”
She lifted her backpack and pushed open the door to the activity room, leaving a handsome back to the courtroom.
"Lawyer Miyadai, it's amazing."
Presiding Judge Hoshikawa looked at the closed door in shock, and hesitantly announced the verdict, "Then, since it was an accident, there is no ...... Not...... Crime? ”
The screeching sound of chairs rubbing against the floor interrupted her in the middle of the room.
"I don't want to play this moot anymore."
Hikari stood up and said in a cold tone that he had never said before.
She looked at Arisa: "'Forgot the bonds and friendships we had forged together'...... Is Xiao Ai really qualified to say that? ”
"At least...... I didn't cheat for myself, you are, you contacted me earlier and asked to help cheat! ”
Arisa also fought back in a rare way.
Li Wu stood in the middle to separate the two people, and Chaoguang stretched out his hand: "Let's go back first-"
She was held by the hand without resistance, and then threw out the question that everyone present had tacitly failed to ask.
"If Xiao Wu treats you as Hoshikawa Aoi, what reason did Xiao Ai not resist and refuse? Didn't recognize him? Do you like girls as much as Shiratori does? ”
"I don't have that fetish......"
Mao Shiratori, curled up in a chair, retorted weakly, but quickly fell silent in a strange atmosphere.
"That kind of thing ......"
Arisa's body trembled like a newborn chick, "Reason, shouldn't you know?" ”
Not only you, but they should all know that they will not take the initiative to break it just to maintain the superficial peace.
She looked directly into her best friend's face: "The reason is the same as what you did that night!" ”
Except for the two of them, probably no one could understand the meaning.
From the bottom of the other party's eyes, Arisa saw a violent tremor that made her begin to regret the words she said under the sudden stimulation.
“…… I'll go home first, Xiao Wu, remember to send your girlfriend. ”
Rinko Hori pulled out her hand and bit the last three words very hard.
She grabbed the doorknob and paused there, leaving the last words that drifted through the air tonight.
"I ...... I've never felt happy with everyone. ”
