"The trial of the house-entry robbery case on June 18, 2733 is now officially opened."

As the judge wearing a wig knocked off the wooden hammer, the noise in the closed stair hall gradually disappeared, and in the end there was only absolute silence.

The trial hall in Hongfeng Town is two levels smaller than that of Trides, but it is not without a solemn atmosphere. Since it is a rare criminal case, after the official announcement of Hongfeng Town issued a notice, there were quite a few townsmen who came to listen today, and the hall with more than 100 seats was packed.

As the direct victim, Su Wen was sitting in the first row, narrowing his eyes and looking at the entrance of the trial hall, as if he was looking forward to what was about to appear.

"Doesn't you still think I'm wasting points when I did this?"

While waiting, he asked silently without changing his expression.

"Yes, based on past experience, the host of the commodity whose currency value and point cost ratio is less than 5:1 has never been redeemed. Therefore, it can be judged that the one-time right to use 1,500 points to exchange for the assassination tool, and the output of gold coins and other returns of equivalent value is 0, which is of no value to you."

"You are right to say you've got it. If it were me in the past, I wouldn't have made up my mind to do such a waste even if it was just a few days ago."

Su Wen rubbed his temples and readily admitted the system's statement.

There were five criminals carrying out the house robbery. They were escorted into the field with their arms folded upside down by serious law enforcement officers, and then sat down in the dock.

Su Wen looked at the five criminals in prison uniforms, all of whom were male, three humans, and two orcs with black and green skin. The group did not look like local residents, but more like mercenaries as migrant populations. The most prominent one was a bald and strong man with a beard. He was very tall, even much taller than the two orcs next to him.

When the defendant was about to sit down in front of the defendant's dock, the tall bald man looked at the audience in the trial hall with cold eyes. His fierce eyes and sharply angular eyes made many people scream and whisper.

“Commitment is on.”

Su Wen said softly.

When he met the bald man's brief gaze, Su Wen seemed to feel the malice in the other person's eyes that was unconcealed, but he just continued to scan the five defendants with interest, and did not deliberately focus on the man.

At the same time, on the log table in front of Su Wen, a black dot the size of an ant was slowly moving and soon disappeared at the end of the wooden table.

On the high platform in the hall, the judge began to read the materials.

"The defendant Jeffrey Rosaiti, 34 years old, is from Recton Province, Toron Empire, human, professional mercenary, are the above information correct? Defendant No. 1?"

"yes."

A low, strong short-haired man with his head down deeply and gave a dull answer.

"The defendant Christopher Durham, 28 years old, ancestral home..."

The quiet trial hall only echoed the loud voice of the judge, while Su Wen deliberately or unintentionally glanced at a not-so-conspicuous area on the platform. There were two intermediate magician-level law enforcement officers sitting there. They observed the five criminals on the dock with calm eyes, guarding against emergencies at any time.

From beginning to end, they did not notice the slow crawling ant on the ground.

Su Wen breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that I chose the wrong choice."

After learning that the Glorious Continent is essentially different from his original world, although most parts of the two worlds are similar, Su Wen knew that some things may not be applicable. Therefore, after careful consideration, he gave up the optical assassination equipment that might expose himself, and gave up methods similar to neurotoxins that cannot be determined whether it is effective. In the end, he chose the most direct and rough physical assassination.

"Directional Nanobre Robot."

This is the name of the black "ant".

In fact, if you look at it from the outside, it is indeed no different from a real ant, or it is an ant that has been highly modified, except that it is filled with five micro-directional plastic mines, which can be placed in the passing path anytime, anywhere, and detonated according to the wishes of the remote controller.

For this robot, which was specially designed for assassination, Su Wen felt that he had used it several times and the effect was good in his impression, so he chose it among many physical damage weapons. Although due to the size, even if a nanobomb close to the power of fusion reaction is used, the actual power of the mine is still very small, and even if it is placed on the finger and explodes, it is difficult to cause any serious damage, but if it is placed in the right place, such as a clothes close to the heart, then the mortality rate when it is stimulated is almost 100%.

Thanks to the two explosion mechanisms of directional mines: the first explosion is determined by the operator, which will eject the mine's inner liner at a speed that is sufficient to penetrate the human body. Although such a small inner liner may not cause death even if it penetrates the heart, the second explosion is controlled by temperature and humidity. Under the influence of the internal environment of the human body, the inner liner opened will explode within one percent of a second, and the 60 stacked hardened plastic as the outer shell of the inner liner will explode in a radial shape. The cavity effect generated by high-speed rotation will cause them to be hidden and efficiently killed from the inside out. The hardened plastic fragments after the explosion will emerge from the front chest due to inertia, and leave tiny trajectories full of holes in the internal organs, just like the shape of a lotus pod, but their diameter is not much larger than that of the hair, and no one can observe it without the help of a magnifying glass.

Su Wen's expensive assassination this time was not only for revenge, but more importantly, it was for a try. He wanted to determine whether this weapon could be effectively killed and could not be discovered by those magical law enforcement officers.

Now it seems that the effect is good.

"Bang!"

At this moment, the striking wooden hammer sounded, and the judge's loud voice was stern: "Defendant No. 2, please raise your head when answering. Do you admit that you are directly responsible for the stolen goods intercepted on the scene and the damage to the victim's home if you cannot provide a proof of absence?"

The orc who was called was staring at a black ant on his trousers and could see it clearly, but it was soon startled by the sound of the wooden mallet.

It quickly patted the ant, then looked at the judge who was glaring at him, stammering that he couldn't even say clearly, but was just sending out some meaningless strange syllables.

In fact, Su Wen had already seen that all the defendants were old-fashioned. They seemed to know that they could not gain an advantage from the trial on the premise that both people and stolen goods were obtained, so they were too lazy to even defend themselves. When asked questions, they either talk nonsense or perfunctory. If this was not a trial hall but a stage, the townspeople who were listening might have started to boo.

"Doess the system, how long do you think they can stay in jail?" Su Wen found that the audience behind him were dissatisfied with this judgment without any sense of conflict, and suddenly asked the system.

"I don't know, maybe as long as you."

"The good answer is that it's just that stole something, not even "robbery", and not stole it on the nobles. The criminal law of the Doron Empire convicted this for about six months to three years, but only a sufficient deposit is required. When the real sentence is made, it will go from imprisonment to exile and parole... Well, it will be sent to another place like a flow of water and then released."

"Maybe they don't have enough gold."

"I think they not only have gold coins, but also have a good background. Look at their attitude. If they weren't worried about their future, who would have looked at the judge who was holding on to his destiny? This trial may be just a formality."

"You seem to be very upset with the margin system, but you have been using it for half a year."

"I'm a good person, of course I can't be locked in prison, but they are different. They are bad guys. Do you think they will turn a wrong and return to justice?"

The system was silent for a long time.

"A good person won't take other people's lives easily."

"Oh, this is not a conflict. I am a good person only when facing good people."

While saying this, Su Wen was staring at the back of the third human defendant, on his prison uniform, the black ant with difficulty in distinguishing the naked eye was slowly crawling up.

"Defendant No. 4, you are accused of robbery. Do you have anything to defend yourself?"

The tall bald man grinned and said, "Mr. Judge, I think this charge is not appropriate. It should be better to describe it as burglary. Because when we were rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, no citizen of Red Maple Town was staring at us."

The four people next to him immediately echoed, forcing the judge on the platform to knock on the wooden hammer.

"Silent! You robbed and took away a half-elves. After investigation, this person was a citizen of Trides City, so I have reason to believe that this was a intentional robbery."

The judge's words surprised Su Wen a little. He couldn't help but turn his eyes to Governor Lillard, who was sitting in the side hall. The serious middle-aged security administrator was quietly watching the trial that was developing somewhat into a farce, and did not notice Su Wen's gaze at him.

Su Wen still remembered that although Governor Lillard last night, he replied that his alien slaves could not be protected by the law of the Doron Empire, he still recorded the detailed information of Liticia's household registration as if he was routinely engaged. Su Wen had no hope for the trial anymore, so he did not care much about this practice, but he did not expect that he would be used as the basis for trial at this time.

It seems that he has made some efforts, at least not allowing the case to be ridiculously classified as a theft.

However, after hearing the judge's words, the bald man became excited: "That half-elf girl? Oh, I began to regret why I fucked her before that, so that I can brag about everyone in the future, and I have been a half-elf who is a human citizen!"

"quiet!"

The judge was obviously very angry by such rude words.

"Look, for such helpless guys, you should send them to the Goddess of Light, and then see if they have the courage to offend the Goddess."

"You don't believe in the Light Church."

"Just kidding, can't you hear it? It's really boring..." Su Wen was a little disappointed, "But if it weren't for the good things these people did yesterday, I would probably have either today or tomorrow, I would have left Liticia and set out north. Do you know, whenever I think of the feeling at that time, I'm afraid."

Yes, Su Wen would be afraid too.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, he was deceiving himself to leave Liticia in Trides. The main reason was that he had a serious misunderstanding about her, but wasn't it just to remain single? At that time, Su Wen was not even clear about his own situation and did not have the glory that the time traveler should have. Even if Liticia did not show her dislike, he might find a reason to go on his way alone.

However, from the beginning of the undead natural disaster, or from touching the first-generation kinetic pistol of Tianhaiyue M-01 in the sewer, Su Wen's fate changed drastically.

From discovering his desire for blood and killing, to fearing this desire in confusion, to starting to accept and use it, and until now, the process is actually the process of Su Wen regaining his true self. Although he has not been able to recall what happened to him in his previous life, at least the collapsed worldview is being re-established, and he is no longer the changeable state that has been like a walking corpse in the past six months, and seems to have gained a new idea of ​​enlightenment.

The reason why all this change broke out last night was that Liticia's abnormality led Su Wen to make up his mind - on the glorious continent, he found the bond that connected him here for the first time, and it was also the first time he realized that he could never passively survive in the shadow of the system. He wanted to protect Liticia, or give her the power to protect himself, so that this bond would never be threatened like yesterday.

Su Wen thinks the result is pretty good. So, Su Wen really needs to express his gratitude to these five culprits who almost brought Liticia to hell.

This death worth 1500 points is the best gift Su Wen gave them.

...

"...As accused of 'intentional home robbery of property', the amount of stolen goods was rated as 4,370 gold coins. Therefore, I sentenced you to 874 days in prison in accordance with the law, and you will be fined and compensated for the victim's equal amount of gold coins. The additional deposit of 8,740 gold coins can be changed to exiled to the northern border. Are you dissatisfied with this? Defendants No. 1 to No. 5?"

The defendant No. 4, the bearded bald man, stood up with a smile.

"The leader of the Lone Wolf Mercenary Group is my biological brother. I really don't take more than 10,000 gold coins seriously. I can only blame us for being unlucky to meet that female knight! Hehe, don't worry, I have already remembered what she looks like, a high-level knight. Do you really think I have no rivals? One day I will let her kneel on the ground and lick me... Uh!"

Just as the gloomy judge was about to knock on the hammer again, the arrogant man suddenly covered his chest and groaned, as if he had been stabbed from the back.

But he shook his head and let out a mouthful of thick phlegm as if nothing had happened, spitting on the floor of the judgement hall.

"Damn it, my chest hurts a little."

"You can obey the judgment!"

The judge on the platform finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked loudly, knocking heavily on the wooden hammer.

"Abide, of course, how can I not obey?" The bald man continued to laugh, "Wait, I will come back to Hongfeng Town in a few months, and I will continue to obey then."

He sat back in front of the defendant's dock and suddenly felt a faint smell of blood surging upwards in his throat.

"What a hell, did I eat bad things?"

The judge on the platform was very angry, but seemed helpless.

"Then, I announce my withdrawal from the court."

He knocked the hammer for the last time.

Then, the law enforcement officers suppressed the five criminals from the trial hall, and the officials began to leave the venue in an orderly manner. Then the hall gradually heard dissatisfaction. This was indeed not a wonderful trial. Apart from the arrogant bald man who made the ticket price in the end, there was no highlight.

Su Wen's eyes fell quietly on the bald man with a staggering footsteps, watching him disappear at the entrance of the judgment hall.

"He has started bleeding internally. He has about five minutes to live. I hope he can take advantage of this last time to repent."

"According to remote sensing monitoring, the explosion point is the left atrial chamber, and the blood pressure is extremely high, so the death time is faster than the host's judgment, two minutes and 30 seconds." The system's response soon appeared in front of him: "Does the host need to detonate the remaining four directional mines immediately?"

"It's timed for two minutes. If you're safer, no one will doubt the person present."
Chapter completed!
