【Only death can atone for sin】
The capsule containing cyanide was always sandwiched in the middle of the paper with this sentence written on it.
Wencheng did not leave any room for himself.
He didn't want anyone to comfort him, nor did he want timely medical treatment to pull him back from the brink of death, so he chose the simplest and most direct method.
After confirming the death of the five murderers, his only desire was relief. He knew this very well, and Arthur knew it too.
The supreme commander of the army completed his ultimate revenge in front of millions of people, and then left the stage in a way that made it almost impossible to react.
Although most people have heard of the name Wencheng, today was the first time that most of the audience saw his true face.
In just an hour, they had a general understanding of Wencheng's life, and then watched him move towards the inevitable curtain call, as if this was the real end of the first trial.
The second trial began in a gloomy and sad atmosphere.
The remaining five congressmen witnessed what had just happened and no longer had any desire to resist.
They were just thinking, the Speaker's biggest killer move has been used up, so how can he drag them into the water?
Soon, they saw the Speaker stab them with the first sword.
At this time, there were four people sitting in the plaintiff's seat. They were of different heights, weights and bodies, but they were all wearing the same uniform. However, the expressions on their faces were serious but also obviously restrained.
It was the first time for the first team to sit in such seats. Perhaps it was the inertia of thinking accumulated over the years that made them extremely nervous at the moment. For a long time, when facing the members of parliament, they had to ensure enough respect, which was not only reflected in words and actions, but also in the height of the seats.
And now, it was indeed the first time in their memory that they were on an equal footing with the congressmen, the first time they looked at the five people opposite them from a normal person's perspective, and the first time they had the feeling that "the congressmen seemed to be just like that."
Just after it was announced that the trial was about to begin, the entire temporary court seemed to be paused, and no one knew what Arthur and the judge were waiting for.
"So what should we do now?"
"Jiancheng" was somewhat confused about the current situation and looked at the "Disaster Core" who had been in charge of connecting with the Speaker.
"Don't worry, everyone is not here yet."
"Not yet? Isn't the 'Ten Thousand Volumes' on top? Who else is missing?"
"What do you think?"
The three of them fell silent, and after a few seconds they all said the same name in unison:
“Luke?”
"Your Excellency, Speaker."
A guard walked into the main hall of the auditorium from the door. His position was the best place to watch the show. He could hear everything in the auditorium clearly while sticking to his post. At this moment, the guard was already full of enthusiasm and planned to complete the revival of mankind with the Speaker.
"Mr. Speaker, there is a man outside the auditorium who claims to be an important witness in this case."
"Let him in."
"yes."
Soon, a well-proportioned young man in plain clothes was brought in by the guards.
Luke had never expected that such a fierce conflict would break out between the Speaker and the Parliament on the last day of the year, and he had never expected that the conflict would eventually affect him.
But he was not afraid of this at all. Instead, he was grateful to Boss El for bringing him to the inner city in advance, so that he could go to the auditorium to join the trial as soon as he heard the news.
Coming onto the stage, the man took off his hat, revealing a face that didn't look intimidating at all.
Although the people in the audience were not familiar with this person, everyone in the temporary court knew the young man in front of them. Even the newly appointed "Holy Shield" guessed who the child in front of him was, and his mood was a little complicated.
The members of the first team couldn't help but recall the last time they saw Luke, when he was still a little fat boy who had just taken over the burden of his father. As for before that, their impression of Luke could be summed up in four words: carefree.
He looked like this after just a few months of not seeing him. Not only were there obvious signs of physical training on his body, but even his eyes had become much sharper and were no longer as clear as before.
“You’re finally here.”
Arthur sat in the secretary's seat and looked at the young man calmly:
"Your seat is over there, come over and talk."
It was the first time that Luke looked at the Speaker at such a close distance. Seeing the encouraging look in his eyes, he felt at ease.
"Mr. Speaker, everyone, I am Luke, the adopted son of Lucas, a former member of the First Team, and also the previous 'Aegis'. I report that the members of the parliament concealed the truth, deceived the patients into undergoing transformation surgeries that caused their bodies to be in a state of long-term overload, and installed ability inhibitors and self-destruct devices in the implants..."
Luke finished his accusation loudly, and at Arthur's nod of agreement, he took off his coat and displayed his fluorescent energy arm in front of everyone.
During this time, Luke also came to his own conclusions about everything he had experienced in the past few months.
And when he came to this trial that seemed to be prepared for him, he gained a new understanding of everything.
He laughed at his own recklessness and ignorance a few months ago but did not regret it. He just hoped that today's trial would reveal all the truth.
"All members of the first team...
Luke paused and reorganized his words:
"All human members of the first team have a set of control, surveillance, and self-destruction components in their right arms. In order to escape the control of the Council, I had no choice but to abandon this arm and wandered around the inner and outer city as an illegal resident for several months."
Luke looked at the five desperate councillors opposite him and showed an indignant expression for the first time:
“The First Squad has always maintained absolute loyalty to the Council, and there has never been any case of betrayal or private action.
"Even after doing this, I still can't gain your trust?"
Several researchers from the institute's bioengineering department brought instruments to prove all of this.
In the video presentation, everyone saw the implants in the arms of several members of the first team.
Because it has been implanted for too long, the edge of the component has become severely adhered to the surrounding tissue, and it would be difficult to remove this burden even through surgery.
The accusation and evidence presentation stage was over, and faced with the presence of both witnesses and evidence, the deputies were almost unable to refute their case.
"Your Excellency, Speaker."
Gao Xi raised his hand and said:
"I admit that we have done these things before, but you said that previous mistakes will not be pursued."
Arthur nodded:
“Indeed, I will not pursue this matter any further, but the members of the First Squad need justice.
"As for your trial, it is not over yet."
