On the justice floor of the tower, a huge angel statue holds a sword in its right hand and a scale in its left hand. It wears a crown on its head, shining in the sunlight.
Under the statue are engraved strange ancient characters. Although few people in the entire tower can fully understand the ancient characters, this huge angel statue is something that everyone who has attended the tower school will learn and understand - it is historical. Required course.
Sofia had passed by this statue countless times, but she had never looked at these ancient texts so carefully.
Now, she was kneeling in front of the statue, her eyes having been focused on these ancient words for more than two hours.
"The surgeon of the gods." Sophia kept repeating those words in her heart, as if every time she repeated them, she could get salvation to varying degrees, "The surgeon of the gods, the surgeon of the gods..."
In the red sky, a rusty piece of iron gradually blocked the sun. When you look at the piece of iron, you can see a five-pointed star-shaped light.
"Rusty clouds appear quite frequently today." The curly-haired man looked up at the red sky. "It seems that the team's affairs are giving the upper management a headache."
"What gives the upper management a headache is not the team's problem." The lizard man knelt with his hands on the ground, his head hanging listlessly, "but how to deal with our affairs."
"When are you going to kneel down?" Li Tingting complained, "Aren't a few flies missing?"
"The justice floor can't even catch a few flies." Bob fumbled for the cigar box in his pocket, but never dared to take it out. "The one who suffers the most right now is probably the leader of the Kamal floor."
Li Tingting rubbed her knees with her hands and said, "Taylor, the conference room is next door. Can you go to the air wall to hear how they talked?"
"If you want to eavesdrop, go ahead on your own." The curly-haired man glanced at her, "What else can I do? I'll just get criticized."
"Hey! It's a shame that you are still engaged in intelligence work and have no professional training at all." Li Tingting did not stand up. She just knelt and crawled to the air wall and listened with her ears. "It seems like there is no movement?"
No one responded to her. Li Tingting felt strange. When she looked back, she found that the leader of Kamel was standing behind her, folding his green wings.
Except for Li Tingting, the other elders of the justice layer were kneeling solemnly and upright, as if Li Tingting was the only one who disobeyed orders.
"Lord Kamel, I..."
"Why do you kneel down?" Kamal interrupted her explanation and asked at an even pace, "What crime have you committed?"
Li Tingting's face almost touched the ground. She didn't dare to raise her head to look at Kamel, nor did she dare not answer his questions. However, she hesitated for a long time without saying a complete sentence. She could only repeat in her heart: Isn’t this asking knowingly? What exactly do you want me to answer?
"I asked you to wait here, and I didn't mean to punish you." Kamel smiled softly, squinting his eyes, and stretched out a hand, "Get up, my child."
Li Tingting raised her head and saw that Kamel's expression was lifeless. Could it be that there was no blame from the superiors?
That's right...just a few flies.
Li Tingting stretched out her hand and was about to touch the other person's palm when she suddenly paused and thought to herself: No, if there was really no blame, why did the conversation last so long?
While she was hesitating, Kamel held her hand.
At that moment, Li Tingting's mind showed the scene of her whole body being burned to ashes. Although Kamel was the leader of the justice layer, they had only met a few times in total and had almost no communication.
She didn't know what Kamel's character was. What if he was the kind of guy who smiled but was ruthless?
But just when Li Tingting was thinking wildly, she was already dragged up by Kamel.
She confirmed several times before she believed that she was really safe.
"You too, please get up." Kamel looked at the people kneeling in front of the statue and said, "Except Sophia."
Sophia's knees that had just left the ground immediately returned to the ground. Although Kamel's tone was extremely calm and there was no sign of aggravation, there was still a strong sense of oppression that made her tremble all over.
Click, click, click...
The statue suddenly opened its eyes, and the scale in its left hand rose and fell like a seesaw. At the same time, the giant sword in its right hand also changed from stone to gleaming steel.
"Sofia, you taught at Tower School, please explain the significance of the existence of the Statue of Justice."
"All unfair treatment will eventually be exposed; all unfair causes and effects will be corrected sooner or later..." Sophia was very scared in her heart, but she still recited fluently:
“Libra is discretion.
The great sword is decision.
When the statue opens its eyes.
Right and wrong can be judged openly, and rewards and punishments for good and evil will also be clear.
There is no luck in the occurrence of cause and effect, and there is no mercy in the judgment of justice. "
"Exactly, what an obedient and well-behaved child." Kamel walked over and couldn't help but stroke her head, "I have heard of your efforts a long time ago. It is said that no matter which subject the textbook is, you are good at teaching it. Able to recite things backwards and forwards.”
The others stood aside and watched, no one dared to make a sound without authorization.
Kamel continued: "Then you must understand what you should do next, right?"
"The Statue of Justice will give leniency to those who take the initiative to speak out about their problems, and severely punish those who take chances and try to muddle through." Sofia looked up at the swinging scales, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm guilty, little one. I have to bear the main responsibility for the team's escape."
The frequency of the ups and downs of the left and right ends of the scale suddenly became faster, and the statue's onyx-like eyes also moved rapidly left and right. Li Tingting and others held their breath, waiting for the statue's verdict on Sophia.
But after a while, the scales gradually became balanced, and the giant sword did not move at all.
Kamel patted Sophia on the shoulder and said softly: "Look, Sophia, you were found not guilty."
At this time, Sophia was sweating profusely. If the giant sword in the right hand of the statue fell, she would be instantly wiped out, and there would never be a chance of regaining consciousness.
"But..." Kamel looked up at the statue's ruby-like eyes, "The Statue of Justice has not returned to its original appearance, which shows that you have other issues that you have not confessed."
"I shouldn't underestimate the enemy! There is also the S-class special team operation in Bingso Continent. I should also be on site to direct it." Sophia said nervously, "Also, when I fought Roland before, I should have killed her immediately. . And... and... I shouldn't make arbitrary decisions and pretend to be the tower owner to negotiate with the team."
The scales of the statue swung rapidly again. Although it took a longer time this time, the two ends were finally balanced. There was no conclusion of good or evil, and the giant sword remained motionless again.
Kamel looked up at the red-glowing eyes of the statue, and said in a serious tone for the first time after appearing: "Sofia, don't waste everyone's time. Tell all the questions you want to answer at once."
"What else is left unsaid?" Sofia murmured tremblingly, "Is it possible that you often organize meetings for everyone? Is it wasting everyone's time?"
Nothing has changed about the statue.
"No matter what you did, even if you killed all of us, as long as you were thinking about the interests of the tower, it wouldn't be a problem." Kamel seemed to be reminding her, "It's important to have your thoughts in mind. Think about it."
"No more...really no more..." Sofia raised her head and shouted, "I swear, I have never done anything against the interests of the tower!"
"Sofia, you really disappoint me." Kamel shook his head, "I have wasted all my efforts to plead for you. The higher-ups have agreed that as long as you take the initiative to explain the problem, you will be spared your life."
