Chapter 744 Seeds of Fear
"Then let's bring up the witnesses. Mr. Villette, please bring up our two witnesses!"
The trial on the second day came as scheduled. Due to the over-preparation, the scene was basically one-sided. After Fernina expressed her speculation about Linni's crime, Paimon immediately expressed his opinion and threw the evidence in Fernina's face.
Now, it was finally time for the witness to appear. Paimon, who was a little dry-mouthed, took this opportunity to have a good rest and asked Villette to bring the witness to the trial platform in the opera house.
The first person to come on stage is of course Lillian. She retold the case from the perspective of someone who had experienced it firsthand, and also revealed the secret that Paimon had kept secret before - that people can dissolve in water.
"Are you kidding me? Is this the special technique you just mentioned? Hey, hey, hey, that thief named Lillian... do you really know what you are talking about?"
The first one to express disbelief was Funina. She thought the other party would come up with some excuse to justify the crime process they had just described.
I never expected that the excuse the other party used to fill that loophole was dissolution!
Does she really know what she is talking about? People dissolving in water, does she think this is some kind of suspense novel!
"It's absolutely true! I saw with my own eyes that the magic troupe's assistant named Cowell turned into a puddle of water!"
After a day of calming down, Lillian was no longer as scared as she was at the beginning. Although this incident was still a little weird, it was a fact that happened. Could she just say something wrong?
"Ms. Funina, this matter is supported by relevant evidence... Mr. Officer, please take out the notebook."
Paimon put his hands on his hips and raised his chin in a haughty manner. It was such a great feeling to be able to make the gods of a country behave like this and still have the upper hand in the argument!
No wonder Zuo Xi liked to target gods from other countries before. It turns out that being able to suppress the almighty gods is such a satisfying thing!
"Well, now I will share with you the evidence we found yesterday. In Cowell's luggage, we found several test tubes filled with liquid, each labeled.
In the notebook in his backpack, these liquids are called "primordial fetal sea water". The contents of the notebook indicate that Cowell belongs to an organization that sells illegal drugs and has accomplices who are working together to carry out the plan..."
A security guard named Esmond stepped to the front to present evidence. To Zuo Xi, this scene really looked like a supporting actor who was pushed onto the stage to provide key information at a critical moment.
The entire trial was just like what Navia had described, it was simply an opera, and its audience also watched it with an entertaining mentality similar to appreciating an opera.
People like to watch the excitement, no matter how big the event. But it is a very sad thing that the act of judging a crime is turned into entertainment.
Originally, Zuo Xi couldn't understand it, and even sneered at it. But as expected, everything has its reasons behind its development, no matter whether it is reasonable or not.
What Fukalos needed was exactly the energy generated by the masses in a public trial. The presence of this inside story also added a touch of helplessness to this sadness.
Although it's all for survival and continuation, this is no different from drinking poison to quench thirst... But he has no right to criticize it. From Fucaros's perspective, these are all helpless things.
Now that things have come to this, he can no longer worry about the changes. Anyway, he only promised to solve the prophecy, and how Fontaine will develop in the future... Ha, let the god who has not been in charge for 500 years worry about it.
The struggle for survival is always touching. Zuo Xi was touched by Fucaros's struggle. He had to protect this cruel god who made people laugh and cry at all costs.
He had no intention of letting that plan, which was full of loopholes, succeed, let alone carrying it out as scheduled.
The original sin of the Fontaine people and the sin of Eugolia were not worth mentioning in his eyes. If you must say, he himself did the same thing.
The only difference is that Egolia created humans, while he created intelligent machines. If the laws of nature do not allow other beings to interfere with the functions of the "God of Creation", then he'd better come down and fight Zuo Xi himself.
If this is not possible, then all the sins and such are bullshit. Since the so-called prophecy, the so-called fate or curse bestowed by heaven cannot be treated equally, it means that it can be subverted by the existence of the same status.
Since Fucaros believed that Navilette, who had regained power over the ancient dragons, could do it, then Zuo Xi must be able to do the same thing... He already had some ideas about this.
"…In short, the conjecture put forward by Lin Nifang and the testimony of this witness are both supported by sufficient evidence.
Furthermore, we have already captured the accomplice mentioned earlier.”
After presenting all the evidence, Esmond turned around and signaled his companions to bring Vaughn up.
"What's regrettable is that this accomplice is actually a member of the security team... This organization is quite large and is capable of planting a mole in the security team.
Vaughan, you should know what to do to get your sentence reduced."
Villette shouted silence on the stage, bringing the noise in the opera house to a halt. He then looked at Vaughan, who was being escorted up, and used threats and inducements to persuade him to tell everything he knew.
"I, I am also following orders!"
Under intense psychological pressure, Vaughan finally gave in and began to confess everything he knew.
"We must make Linnie bear the blame for the "serial disappearance of girls" case and put all the suspicion on the Fatui. They say this is the best opportunity."
Vaughn actually wanted to say that their organization had always had a deal with the Fatui, but after thinking it over he gave up. There were several executive officers sitting here, and he was worried that he would die inexplicably as soon as he had this idea...
"I, I will tell you everything I know... I only ask, I only ask the Guards to protect me from being silenced by our boss... and of course, the Fatui! My dear executives, the decision to slander you was made by the boss, I am really just following orders!"
Now that he had figured it out, Vaughn naturally wouldn't hold back. The most urgent thing was to save his life... uh... uh uh!
"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"
As he was thinking this, a strange feeling spread out from his body. Vaughn looked terrified as if he had realized something. He only had time to scream before he turned into a puddle of water in front of everyone.
So far, everything was as Zuo Xi expected. Now, the seeds of panic were officially planted in the hearts of the people of Fontaine and quickly took root and sprouted.
