While Chino writes his confession, he telepathically connects to Lugo and "remotes" him to say his confession.

In a short time, the two confessions were written and presented to Barty, and Lugo was brought back.

Barty scrutinized the two confessions.

There are basically no differences in the details when we meet, and most of them can be matched.

In terms of dialogue, the matching degree is about 80%, the central content is the same, and the remaining differences are some tone, word order, and inconsequential particles.

A person's memory is limited, and unless you deliberately memorize it, it is difficult to memorize every word you said a few days ago.

If the confessions of the two men were written exactly the same, then there was no doubt that they had colluded in advance, and Barty would have immediately arrested them and taken them to the Fengyunguan Inquisition.

And as it is now, there are some differences in the details, but it is more convincing.

Barty read the confession and gave it to the others to browse.

The other three had different expressions, Ray Sakhar was very pleased, Jashan nodded thoughtfully, and Erin was earthy.

At this time, the guard in charge of collecting evidence also returned: "Lord Barty, we asked." On the night of the bombing, the magistrate of Chino did behead and execute a visitor from the heavens in the square a mile outside the executive residence, a young and beautiful woman, and many civilians were willing to testify on his behalf. ”

Erin questioned, "How do civilians know that woman is a visitor from the sky?" ”

"I can testify to this, when I arrived in Twilight City, the administrator of Chino killed the last of the Celestial Visitors, and their bodies were burned to the ground as the history books say—burned to the stars. One of the headless corpses was a woman. ”

Barty nodded and looked at Erin, who had an ugly face: "I think all this should be explained." ”

Erin clenched her fists: "He must be hiding something... Definitely..."

Barty sighed, "I know you are heartbroken by Brooke's death, but the innocent are not to blame unless you have solid evidence to question him." ”

Erin gritted her teeth and looked at Chino: "Someone has to be responsible for this!" Chino is the host of the banquet and has a responsibility to protect every guest! Any bloodshed is a dereliction of duty! ”

"It is the despicable attackers who are responsible, not the administrators who have fought bloodily themselves." Resakhar retorted, "It's hard to prevent an attack from visitors from outside the sky, not to mention that they have already been executed and given an account to the deceased, and this should be over." ”

Just as the two were arguing, Jashan suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked meaningfully: "I have a question, Chino Administrator, the visitor has disappeared for 2,700 years. Why did it reappear in the near future? And their two attacks in Shirintown and Twilight seem to implicate you, why is that? ”

The question silenced the atmosphere.

This is everyone's question, but everyone is deliberately avoiding it.

The four words "Visitors from Heaven" are too heavy for this world.

The great Sun King fell to visitors from the sky, who were synonymous with destruction and blasphemy.

Everyone wanted to know the reason for the resurgence of the visitors, but they didn't dare to dig deeper, for fear that it would open the magic box.

Now that Jashan has the audacity to ask this question, everyone knows that there is no turning back and can only wait for Chino's answer.

There was a dead silence around him, and even the sound of breathing became cautious, and he could even faintly hear the beating of his heart coming out of his body.

Chino watched the crowd from the court, and the sunlight pouring from the dome reflected in the pupils, as if blooming.

The corners of his lips raised a strange arc, and the next words made everyone's hearts stop beating for a moment: "Maybe, I am the next Sun King?" ”

As soon as these words came out, after a short period of dead silence, the court was in an uproar.

Barty's eyes widened in shock, and he subconsciously covered his left chest and heart with his hand, and his shriveled lips kept trembling: "You... You are blasphemous! ”

Chino: "The premise of blasphemy is not to measure oneself and compare oneself to the gods. But in fact, what the Sun King didn't do, I did, and twice. ”

"I don't know why the Visitors have reappeared, or why I've been their target, and I'm as confused as you are, and I don't know anything about it. I only know that I have eliminated the alien visitors, and now I am standing in the dock, don't you think this kind of thing is ridiculous? ”

"Rather than judge me here, ask yourselves if you are going to stand by and watch me alone, and perhaps one day I will die like the Sun King; Or stand by my side, see me as a robe, and put an end to this ancient invasion with me. ”

Barty's eyes were so frightened that he didn't even dare to look at Chino, and wrote on the paper tremblingly: "I... I have no right to decide... Every word you say will be written on this piece of paper, and the raven will be brought into the royal city and presented to the king himself..."

Chino's smile deepened: "Please." ”

The atmosphere became very oppressive, everyone did not speak, and the initiator of the topic, Jashan, was even more pale, obviously regretting asking the question.

Erin breathed heavily and stared at Chino gloomily: "I don't care about your rhetoric, I'm here this time just to seek justice for my brother." ”

Chino spread his hands innocently: "I can give money." Brooke is a military commander, I'm an administrator, he's my subordinate, and I'll pay his family according to the standard of death. ”

"Money?!" The reason in Erin's eyes collapsed, and she slapped the table angrily, her voice sharp and distorted, "If money can be traded with the Grim Reaper, I'll let you die a hundred times right now!" ”

"Calm down." Barty stroked Erin's back as a gesture of comfort, "As far as I know, Brooke's death had nothing to do with Executive Chino, and his immediate cause of death was caused by another person. ”

"Who?!" Erin roared.

Barty said to the guards, "Bring that captain named Paladin." ”

Paladin was quickly brought up, and in front of so many high-ranking people, his little commander didn't even dare to come out, and his body was trembling.

Barty explained to Erin, "I heard from the soldiers present that the commander used a ballista and killed the visitor while accidentally hitting Brooke, resulting in his death. ”

"Is this true? Erin looked at Paladin, the bruises on her forehead jumped, and she almost screamed, "My brother! The nobility of the Trojan family! Die at the hands of a lowly commander like you?! ”

Paladin shrunk his head, his lips trembled, and he did not dare to speak at all.

Chino raised his hand: "Let me explain." Paladin fired the ballista purely to kill the visitors and relieve me. And Lord Brooke, as you know, it was the night of the Twin Moons, and his beastly body was uncontrollable and strayed into a ballistic trajectory after the ballista was fired, only to be fired by mistake. ”

"Lie! Lie!! Lie!!! The death of her brother was so absurd that Erin had lost the ability to judge reasonably, and her fingers ran across Paladin and Chino's faces, screaming, "You guys are colluding! All of this is your collusion! ”

Barty motioned for the guards to reassure Erin, then got up and said, "Since the Chino administrator said that it was a misfire, let's go to the scene together." I happen to have a ballista shooter under my command, who is extremely skilled, and has shot more than forty wild dragons, and let him judge whether it was a mistake. ”
