The gavel hit the base hard, and the atmosphere in the Hall of Valor conference hall was solemn and silent. The open door was closed. Students stood ready at every window. Everyone in the jury sat up straight. The old secretaries were cold and solemn. It was like the stone statues of Easter Island casting their gaze on the condemned criminals who were pressed under the high platform.
"Now the hearing is finally interesting." The vice-principal said in a low voice. Next to him, Fingel also looked energetic, trying to torture the target in front of him with his eyes.
"Your name, the one on trial." King Solomon said solemnly.
Under the high platform, Lu Mingfei and Patsy were guarding him from left to right. Lin Nian raised his head and closed his eyes with his sword hanging. He took a long breath and sucked the anger, hostility, and fear of the entire space into this body. The nasal cavity of the body was filled into the lungs as fuel, and finally he slowly opened his eyes, revealing the molten red golden eyes that made King Solomon couldn't help but look back in fear.
Silent waves swept through the entire conference hall, and everyone felt an indescribable shadow rising behind them, blocking the dazzling sunlight outside the window, making the space dim, pulling away happiness and hope bit by bit, filling it with despair and coldness. of haze.
In the spreading terror, His molten red pupils were streaming with plain and hot fire waves, and he said softly: "...I have shown people by many names, but they have all been buried in the hands of history.
In the dust, gradually forgotten over time. Those names that have lost their meaning have also lost their value of existence. Only the name at this moment should be regarded as the most popular code name in the world. With the advent of this new era, the throne that was once sealed by ice for thousands of years has finally been able to break through the ice. It is inevitable that I will sit there. So you can call me "Emperor". This could be a code name before I actually become emperor, but it is destined to become a reality. The mockers will kneel before me in gratitude at my coronation. "
Patsy Gattuso and Lu Mingfei were the first to be hit by the waves carried in those words. The old and majestic aura hit their faces. The former clenched his close-fitting double-edged sword with golden eyes and burned quietly, while the latter was simply completely I didn't feel much, I just heard it in a fog. Only the two of them were qualified to stand close to the guy who was holding him hostage. Anyone else would have fallen to their knees from mental disorder under the pressure.
No one questioned or spoke up, and the sense of oppression became stronger and stronger until someone in this space opened a second pair of molten red pupils.
The strong wind shattered the wild waves, and the ripples intertwined and flattened out. It was the impact on the spiritual level, the intertwining and twisting of the incomplete king's domain and the king's domain, and finally collapsed into wind. Everyone felt a lightness on their bodies, as if someone had opened the window, and the mighty wind poured into the room, sweeping away all the haze and suffocation, leaving only the sunshine and the fresh smell of flowers and plants.
"Is this the reason why you call yourself "Emperor"? I always thought that like Caesar, you were an older chuunibyou." Lin Nian stood behind him and said softly, the sun shining outside the florist's shop shone on him On the profile of his face, the firelight flowed quietly in his molten red pupils.
"Not everyone has the glory of coveting the throne, but the sacred throne itself needs the bustling flow of people in the world, as essential as the stones needed for the bridge leading to the temple. You may have wondered why I call you "Prince", in fact, this title is not due to our blood connection, but because your name is second only to mine on the list leading to the throne. "
Lu Mingfei's eyes widened. Just like everyone else who was shocked by the "Emperor's" speech, they were all shocked and unbelievable by some of the key words in this speech.
"You and I are connected by blood? Are you kidding?" Lin Nian said, "I don't remember having any illegitimate children outside."
"Watch, one day you will understand this," He said.
"So do you admit that those monsters were all your fault?, SS "level mission, the matter of Sister Shao Nanyin." Under Lu Mingze's excellent training, Lu Mingfei already had a premonition that this guy was going to start The Riddler. , promptly interrupted his ineffective speech.
"I just played a role in fueling the flames." He looked at Lu Mingfei with some humor. "Everything has a cause and a consequence. I cut out some of the processes in the middle and let the causes and effects proceed one after another.
happened before. Sooner or later, the secrets in that document will be made public, and Shao Nanyin will eventually face the arrests of the UlI team. This is destined to be cause and effect.
"Strong words, right?" Lu Mingfei felt that this guy had some gangster logic, but he didn't know how to refute it.
"I am destined to chop your head off in the future, so I will cut off this lengthy process and chop off your head now. This is also the cause and effect, but it saves the tedious process." Lin Nian said calmly. Said, "Then would you hand me your head right now and let me chop it off?"
"I think that's probably because your observation of cause and effect is still a little bit underdeveloped. The future I see is really different from what you see." He said regretfully.
"You're not at your best either. Don't forget that today your face was torn to the ground and trampled on." Lin Nian said coldly.
"Well... I don't deny or refute this point." He looked at Lu Mingfei to one side and slowly nodded in approval, "In my observation, he has indeed never been so dazzling today, even after being blocked. various established possibilities."
"It's really not easy to catch you. At least without Lu Mingfei, I couldn't do it today." Lin Nian said sincerely with an expressionless face, "Originally, I was just planning to kill you, the carrier, before the situation worsened. Look. Let’s see if we can make some new breakthroughs in analyzing you.”
"I admit that Yelena has indeed regained some strength now. She has gradually begun to regain her power, but this does not mean that she has been able to capture me through a carrier. This is a fantasy, or it is just You give yourself an excuse and a reason to escape from this mud." Xiu Dan said with a smile, "Your rash action is the final result of my plan. You should thank Lu Mingfei properly. He seems to have Something happened that you and I don’t know about."
Lu Mingfei's pupils dilated slightly. He stared closely at the face of the 'Emperor' beside him, trying to see more from those molten red pupils.
"I don't care." Lin Nian said, "What happens to his emperor is his business. If you want to sow discord, just save your energy."
"Sowing discord?" The emperor shook his head, "You think everything is too simple. Nothing is eternal. The friendship between you and Lu Mingfei does exist, but it is so loyal that no matter right or wrong, Will you both stand firmly on each other's side?"
"I think Lin Nian will not make mistakes. He is calmer than you think." Lu Mingfei said subconsciously.
"What about you? Lu Mingfei, do you think you will make a mistake? When facing the pain that is enough to make you hysterical, when the overwhelming anger bites every nerve of yours, will you choose to look at Lin Nian? Do you believe in your friends and bear the unbearable weight silently?" He looked at Lu Mingfei's pale golden eyes and asked with a low smile.
Before Lu Mingfei could react, Lin Nian gently raised his hand, and a stream of blood as sharp as a knife shot onto the ground, leaving a deep red mark. The corners of the 'Emperor's' carrier's mouth opened. A hideous hole was made, enough to see the gums inside.
"Shut up." Lin Nian said.
"Be gentle, we need to survive, not only him, but also the owner of this body." Percy looked at the blood-stained "Izumi Mamoru Kanesada" in Lin Nian's hand and reminded in a low voice, "There is a way to expel his consciousness. ? If this is a phenomenon caused by an unknown word spirit, maybe we can also use similar methods to expel him and save the original "Andrew Gattuso."
"This word spirit has been a mystery until now. Rather than finding a way to remove the word spirit, it is better to try to find the conditions for the release of this word spirit." Lin Nian said coldly, "You can snatch other people's bodies and erase their personality and personality." The conditions for the release of the word spirit of memory must be harsh, otherwise he could directly seize the bodies of the school directors of the secret party. But he didn't, which means he couldn't do it."
"Then when was he controlled?" Lu Mingfei pointed at Andrew Gattuso, "There must be some sign, right? When I play "Red Alert" and want to be brain-controlled, I first build a Yuri factory and a mind detection system. You can only get out of the control tower with the instrument. Everything must be done according to the steps of the Basic Law! "
Passi fell into silent thinking. He began to trace back the scene from the first time he met Andre Gattuso, slowly indexing backwards, and suddenly
As if he had thought of something, he looked up at Lin Nian and said firmly, "It was at the Chicago train station. He should have been attacked at that time."
"Did he ever leave your sight halfway?"
"No, we were together the whole time. At most, we only missed each other by a few seconds during the peak rush hour at the train station."
"Contact?" Lin Nian whispered.
"Contact?" Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment.
"Contact." Lin Nian repeated, "I'm just guessing that if this language spirit wants to be successfully released, one of the conditions may be contact. The releaser must contact the victim's body, which may be for an instant or may last for a period of time. . Taking advantage of the 'Emperor', members of the school board who have not committed any harm so far have deduced that contact is indeed a very possible condition. Every school child has received the highest level of personal protection and is unlikely to have the opportunity to be physically touched. A long time."
Lu Mingfei jerked his hand away from Andre Gattuso's shoulder and looked at this guy in confusion, as if he was looking at some human-shaped filthy aggregate. ?
"It should be more than just contact." Passi pondered for a moment and then said, "The conditions are too simple. If it was just contact, then both Lu Mingfei and I would have been killed by now."
"So this should be just one of the conditions. If you want to completely control an individual and erase its personality and memory, just contact as a condition is too simple. There may be other conditions, but there are no clues to speculate at the moment." Lin Nian said, "But at least we got a piece of reliable information."
"I almost want to applaud you." The emperor chuckled and said, "Maybe this is the price of my failure this time? The power I am truly proud of has officially entered the stage of being analyzed. Maybe you can beat me a few more times." Can we deduce the complete appearance of my power based on this?"
"'With this power, do you have other speech spirits?" Lu Mingfei was shocked inwardly.
"Don't believe His words too much." Lin Nian reminded.
"I never lie, you know this." The emperor looked at Lin Nian and took the lead slightly.
"But you are very good at using words to mislead." Lin Nian didn't even look at him. "You mentioned 'this power,' you could deliberately mislead us to make us think you have more power, but in fact you may only have This power, and the use of this power in this context, is completely correct, but you can use this vague rhetoric to make us excessively nervous and make wrong judgments. "
A trace of uncertainty flashed across Lu Mingfei's expression, and he felt that the guy in front of him was an extremely dangerous person. It made him feel like he was chatting with Lu Mingze. The little devil also had similar similarities in a certain way. , the words will never be finished, and even if they are finished, you may misunderstand the meaning, but the meaning you misunderstood is exactly what he deliberately misled, leading you to the ending he prepared for you.
"But you said he can't lie?" Lu Mingfei paused, looked at King Solomon and gave the judge who couldn't interrupt a look.
He wanted to use the "Emperor" to cleanse Lin Nian of all guilt in one fell swoop and bring this hearing to a perfect conclusion.
King Solomon understood and asked in a low voice, "Person on trial, do you admit that all the accusations against Lin Nian in this hearing were your conspiracy? In order to isolate him, you designed all the situations and used lies and deception. He pushed against the secret party!"
"No." The emperor said calmly, "Your Honor, I stick to my argument. I still think Lin Nian is dangerous, and he is dangerous to everyone here. He is a winged thing. There is no need to crawl on the ground. As Lu Mingfei mentioned, the document in the SS-level mission may be the best evidence. It contains information about the two individuals Lin Xian and Lin Nian. The origin of their birth is enough to prove the extraordinary nature of their birth and their own excellence. "
"That SS"-level document was burned due to an accident. Of course, you can say whatever you want about the contents inside." Lu Mingfei immediately retorted, "I admit that Lin Xian was indeed mentioned in that document, but at the same time, it also mentioned something more. There are many names, even..."
He paused here and looked back at the auditorium. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a woman holding a metal entry like a majestic woman.
The red-haired witch of the God of War was a little hesitant, not sure whether she should say the next words.
"There are even people we are familiar with but whose bloodline is still stable." Lu Mingfei finally changed his mind, not wanting to inexplicably involve other people who were not involved in this mess.
"It seems that Lu Mingfei was lucky enough to read the contents of that document before it was burned." The emperor smiled lightly, "But have you forgotten that you are not the only person who has read the document?" ."
"Do you want to say that you have also read that document? But it is a pity that your statement cannot be used as testimony." Lu Mingfei insisted on this point, "Even if the emperor claims that he cannot lie, he is still on trial now." In the human position, the sinner being judged cannot prove himself.
"No." The emperor tilted his head slightly, "I think besides myself, I still have other witnesses. Maybe this witness belongs to your side?"
He smiled lightly and looked at the judge, "Excuse me, your honor, do I still have the right to call out my witnesses?"
King Solomon was silent, and after a moment he made a decision, "Okay."
"Then according to the procedure, please ask the secretary to bring my last witness."
The secretary who was protected by the students in the corner stood there unable to move. He glanced at King Solomon in embarrassment and then at Lin Nian. He didn't know whether he should listen to the secret enemy of "the emperor". If so, help the other party bring witnesses.
Lin Nian also glanced at the secretary and gave him an affirmative look. After struggling for a moment, the secretary turned towards the side door of the conference hall and opened it.
An unexpected and reasonable person walked out from behind the door, and he was probably the person destined to appear at this hearing.
Lu Mingfei's expression changed. Under his nervous gaze, Li Huanyue quietly walked into the conference hall of the Hall of Heroes. Her long black hair was tied into a bun and hung down on the back of a white leg-length wide T-shirt. The neck and the heroic cheek that has always been so indifferent and calm.
She did not attend the ceremony in formal attire, she was still dressed as she was when Lin Nian first met her, with a wide white T-shirt covering short jeans, a pair of dazzlingly white legs and a pair of white Nike sneakers.
It's just that she is missing one arm forever, and one of the cuffs of her T-shirt is empty. She has a kind of incomplete and strange beauty. It may make people pity her when it appears on other girls, but on her Zhihu makes people feel... A cold iron blood.
Li Huoyue.
Lu Mingfei's head was buzzing, he should have thought of this guy a long time ago! This is the most discordant third party factor that appeared in the attack of the King of Earth and Mountain! Does she know the information in that "document"? It seems like she should know? But does she know the details about Lin Xian? They didn't seem to avoid Li Hueyue when they burned the document. Could it be that the other party was just watching from a distance? Did you glance at the sofa and see the contents of that document?
No, no, no... the point is not whether Li Huoyue knows the content of the information! But which side Li Hueyue is on now! Lu Mingfei suddenly became alert, and then cold sweat flowed down his back.
He does not think that Li Hueyue is an 'Emperor', nor does he think that the 'Emperor' has the ability to use the unknown spirit of speech on this girl. Her power is obvious to all. But the problem lies in her identity. She is an orthodox person. Although the orthodox and the secret party are currently in a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship and have developed into the honeymoon period, the opportunity to attack an important combat power of the secret party to a certain extent with just one sentence has been handed to the orthodox In front of him, Li Hueyue's stance seemed subtle.
Lu Mingfei may have believed that Li Huanyue owed Lin Nian a share of the crowd. If it weren't for Lin Nian, this girl would have died in the encounter with the Dragon King. But he also knows very well that Li Hueyue has always represented herself, and orthodoxy has always represented Li Hueyue. She is the spokesperson of orthodoxy, and she is only a spokesperson (the secret party's expectations for Angers, Probably the same as the state of orthodoxy to Li Hueyue).
"Not everyone is willing to be on your side. After all, this world is still guided by interests." The emperor looked at Lin Nian and said slowly, "Everything in the world is for profit; For benefit. Can defeat the so-called friendship and friendship
There is only interest, and there will never be a lack of whirlpool of interest around you. "
But to the emperor's surprise, Lin Nian didn't feel troublesome or troublesome about the girl in the white T-shirt walking slowly. His expression didn't even change. He just said calmly, "I know."
Li Huanyue stood still during the hearing. She probably didn't know what happened at the scene and why the person who was suppressed became the leader of the investigation team, but she would not let go of her curiosity. The look on her face There wasn't even a trace of inquiring look on his face, he had always been so formulaic and indifferent, just like the slender and graceful knife on the display shelf.
She's just here to complete her mission, that's all.
Solomon stopped being polite and introduced Li Hueyue, and asked bluntly and solemnly, "Witness Li Hueyue. As for the "Emperor" accusation, as for the SS "level mission you were involved in, which happened at the South Railway Station, what about that" Whether the content of the document mentioned 'Lin Xian,' and 'Lin Nian,'."
"Yes." Li Hueyue replied. Lu Mingfei's heart sank, and the expressions of Su Xiaoqiang and Chu Zihang in the auditorium also gradually sank.
"Can you please describe the relevant content in detail?" "Okay."
"Li Hueyue nodded, and then began to narrate," That document was officially named Utero's plan, and it belonged to the secret information of the Solomon Temple Society. This organization is an illegal trans-international secret hybrid organization with a certain history. Its main purpose is to restart and optimize the "Butterfly Project" proposed by the Soviet Union and the United States during the Cold War. They tried to use the data obtained from genetic research experiments to Collect a large number of items suitable for young women who are of fertile age in the Butterfly Plan.
"Is Lin Xian among them?" King Solomon asked.
"exist."
"Can you elaborate on her part?"
"Okay." Li Hueyue said.
But after a moment, she paused, raised her head and said calmly, "But there's nothing to say. The information in that document is just a series of names. It only provides some names and basic personal information. Other than that, Nothing else of note."
The emperor raised his head with a strange look in his eyes, and Lu Mingfei and others were also stunned.
Lin Nian was the only one with an expressionless face, as if he had known that things would happen like this.
