Chapter 203: Deterioration and Spread
tick-tick
Inside the courtroom, there was almost no sound except for the ticking of the hands of the large clock hanging on the wall.
After all, if the people present wanted to, they wouldn't even need to breathe. From this perspective, Cen Lin's departure was not a bad thing.
"Hmm..."
But the silence was soon interrupted by a sob.
Qian Gongyue really couldn't stand anymore. Her legs went weak and she almost fell down, but the moment she fell, a chair was moved behind her.
"How are you? Can you still hold on?"
What no one expected was that the person who did this was none other than the rule-abiding Yan Yu.
"Thank you, thank you... I, I can still... hold on."
Qian Gongyue raised her head slightly.
Yan Yu's heart trembled suddenly, and he suddenly realized that the smile that the girl forced out had become extremely weird.
Because at this moment, almost half of her face was covered with tiny tentacles.
They spread across the girl's skin, and some tentacles even began to drill into her eye sockets.
The scene was both disgusting and terrifying.
It looks disgusting and scary.
Yan Yu's heart was churning. Although he had faced countless bloody and horrific scenes before, the scene before him was different.
Those densely packed little tentacles seemed to have life, wreaking havoc, twisting, and trembling on the girl's face.
These little things distorted the girl's face, turning her originally delicate face into a hellish scene.
If it were an ordinary person, perhaps just seeing this scene would drive him crazy.
“…”
Yan Yu took a few deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. She kept her lips tightly closed, not saying a word.
But she knew in her heart that the vampire could no longer hold out until the end of the trial.
An hour and a half had passed by now, and perhaps a day and a half had passed during the trial.
Even if Li Muhan and Xia Yue could complete the trial ahead of time, this girl... would only have less than twenty minutes left to live.
The tentacles were growing faster and faster, almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?"
In the end, Yan Yu could only say goodbye to Qian Gongyue as if he was saying goodbye to a dying person.
Qian Gongyue obviously understood what she meant, and the forced smile on his face gradually disappeared.
She knew she couldn't hold on any longer, and her spirit almost collapsed at that moment.
"No......"
The girl lowered her head slightly and looked at her arm that was now covered with tentacles.
Every time the countless tiny tentacles moved, she felt a sharp pain.
And the pain was getting worse. She knew that her life was almost over, and every minute and every second that followed would be filled with endless pain and torture.
"...Thank you."
Yan Yu nodded, and she regarded this as Qian Gongyue’s last words.
When I looked up at the nun again.
Yan Yu was a little angry when he found that she acted like everything was under control.
She felt that the Outer God had no intention of letting Qian Gongyue accept any duel trial. She knew from the beginning that the girl would definitely die, and no matter what the result of the trial was, it would be meaningless.
If that is the case, why give others false hope? She tramples on human dignity and despises laws and rules.
This ancient and unknown thing has now become Yan Yu's biggest enemy.
But when Yan Yu looked at Lin Ze again.
But he found that the other party was sitting in the audience, with his eyes closed, and seemed not to care about the situation at all.
She couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Could it be that Lin Ze has already accepted the current development of the situation? This shouldn't be the case.
"Uh..."
Clang——
While Yan Yu was still confused, Qian Gongyue in front of him suddenly fell off the chair to the ground.
"Hey, are you okay?"
Yan Yu squatted beside her and found that her physical condition was even more serious than he had imagined.
The growth of those tentacles was actually accelerating and becoming more and more fanatical. At this moment, the girl's body became their best petri dish. Countless tentacles rushed to invade this perfect body.
"Medical staff!"
Yan Yu couldn't bear it any longer, she started shouting loudly.
But the nun stopped her with a smile.
"Executive Officer, please think twice. If the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau insists on rescuing this beast, it will likely affect the relationship between our two countries' Special Management Bureaus."
“…”
Yan Yu certainly understood, she always abided by the rules, but now she was asked to watch this man die like this?
Although she is a criminal, she is still undergoing trial by combat.
"What's the point of a trial by combat if the prisoner is dead?"
She tried to protest, but was powerless.
"If a prisoner dies during a trial by combat, then... everything is determined by fate."
The nun clasped her hands together and bowed her head slightly.
Yan Yu clenched her fists, and just when she was about to say something, a yawn attracted the attention of the two people.
The nun and Yanyu looked back at the same time.
Lin Ze stretched and stood up from the chair.
She opened her eyes slightly, then smiled and spoke to the two of them.
"It's about time."
Just as she finished speaking, a curse suddenly rang out outside the entire courtroom.
The voice was like an ancient call, and every word seemed to be full of time-honored power and unquestionable majesty, which made people feel awe.
At the same time, in the open space outside the courtroom, a Taoist priest was standing there.
The Taoist priest was wearing a green Taoist robe and a Bagua hat, his face was engraved with the wrinkles of time and calmness.
He stood in the spacious open space outside the courtroom, his hands in seals, appearing particularly mysterious in this underground world without sunlight.
He muttered something, and the sound was carried by the wind, echoing in every corner.
He kept chanting ancient spells, which were not Taoist incantations.
There seemed to be a slight rumble of thunder between those words, and even the air began to fluctuate.
As his spell progressed, a circle of faint light slowly rose in the entire Judgment Hall, as if gathering the purest energy between heaven and earth.
The staff standing around were attracted by the power after hearing the spell and held their breath unconsciously.
"Unrelated personnel, put on earplugs immediately."
The Minister of Engineering, Mo Qiao, still had a plaster cast on his leg and was using a crutch to shout at the people who were attracted by the spell.
She is small but full of energy.
The shouting woke those people up instantly and they quickly put on earplugs.
Although they could not understand the profound and complex meaning and source of power behind the incantations chanted by the Taoist priest, everyone could feel an invisible and powerful sense of oppression approaching from all directions.
It was as if some kind of law of heaven and earth was being responded to in this underground space.
In the courtroom, Yan Yu suddenly felt very irritated when she heard the spell. The irritation came from deep within her heart and was completely out of her control.
A primitive impulse and violent emotion continued to spread in her heart until Lin Ze gently placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Relax."
"...Thank you, Director Lin."
Lin Ze's hand made her mind clear up instantly, and the nun seemed to be trembling with anger. She turned her head and looked at Lin Ze and said.
"...I told you not to do anything unnecessary."
Lin Ze shrugged.
"Excuse me, that person outside is from the Ninth Team of the Supernatural Management Department. As you know, those who study supernatural laws have some mental problems and often chant spells on the streets. Alas, this is not the first time."
Jaguar bullshit!
The nun cursed inwardly and pointed outside the door.
"Please ask him to stop immediately."
Lin Ze sighed helplessly.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. No one present here can leave until the trial by combat is over. Just let him read it. After all, there's only...an hour left until the trial by combat."
