Chapter 94 is a serious crime...
"I… don't know what you're talking about!"
The skeleton knight, with the chainsword pressed against his neck, looked pale.
"I asked you what's going on with those two mechanical arms behind you?!"
"What's going on?" The Skeleton Knight gritted his teeth and said, "This is my body. I can add whatever I want to it."
"Is this your... freedom?" Upon hearing this, Gerard's exposed eyes were about to spark. "When has the law of Lyra ever allowed such freedom? If there really is such a law, tell me which one it is!"
The Skeleton Knight was naturally speechless. He just managed to say, "So what? I'm not the only one who did this! Why do you only blame me?"
"Of course I know you're not the only one who did this." Gerard looked into the Skeleton Knight's eyes and spoke word by word, "The last person I caught doing this was called Ocot. You should know what happened to him."
The Skeleton Knight's heart trembled. He naturally understood Jellal's threat, but he was still unwilling to give in, so he said with all his strength: "Jellal! If you really want to kill me, you can just do it directly! No need to find these boring excuses! Anyway, we all know that you are crazy, and you have been crazy for ten years! Anyway, I am innocent. If you kill me, you will be defined."
"Are you threatening me?"
The current Jellal is no longer the same as when he returned to Lyra two days ago.
He pushed the skeleton knight against the wall, then raised the chainsword in his hand a little higher and twisted the handle.
In an instant, the skeleton knight heard the sharp and terrifying roar of the chainsaw sword on his forehead.
The Skeleton Knight's face suddenly turned paler.
He knew very well that if Gerard loosened his sword-holding hand a little, the chainsaw sword would cut him in half in an instant - there was no need to doubt the destructive power of the chainsaw sword. At this moment, it had already drilled a big hole in the wall that the Skeleton Knight was leaning against. The broken stones hit his neck, as if reminding the Skeleton Knight that in front of this chainsaw sword, his life was no different from these seemingly hard stones.
Gerald really wanted to kill himself!
"If I hadn't sensed the smell of pollution in your body," Gerard's cold voice rang in the Skeleton Knight's ears, "you would have been killed by me now."
The Skeleton Knight still wanted to hold on, but Jellal simply moved the Chainsword down a little. The increasingly approaching roar and more falling rubble could no longer make him as tough as before.
"Tell me! Who told you to put these on?"
"Yes, I volunteered!"
“Bullshit! You are not an ordinary person, you are a Skeleton Knight! You transformed your body into this, who allowed you to pass the physical examination!” Gerard yelled at the Skeleton Knight, “Who is behind you?! Who sent you here… Tell me!”
At this moment, the Skeleton Knight finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Facing such a close threat of death, he could no longer maintain his toughness. His psychological defenses collapsed at this moment. He fell to the ground with a "bang" and said with trembling lips: "It's the 'Zhu Xin Hui'..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of dense footsteps were heard, and more fully armed skeleton knights rushed out from the platform. After seeing the scene in front of them, they all raised the automatic cannons in their hands.
"Jellal, stop it!"
"You're under arrest!"
…
Kud hurriedly walked into the Skeleton Knights' headquarters. Chalmers was already waiting for him there. After seeing him, Chalmers immediately came to greet him. Before he even arrived, he heard complaints: "Boss, where have you been? Such a big thing happened and we can't find your people. Minister Finley is very angry."
"I went to investigate the case."
"Investigating a case?" Chalmers' eyes widened. "Boss, you are not still investigating Gerald's case, are you? Isn't that him..."
"Now that the case has been filed, we need to investigate." Kud interrupted Chalmers succinctly, "Now tell me what happened on the day I was away."
"A lot of things happened today." Chalmers spread his hands helplessly, "First of all, the biggest thing is that another affairs assistant in District 4 also died this morning, and he died in front of countless people."
Kud's body paused: "What's going on?"
"I don't know. According to the description of the people at the scene, the assistant was walking and suddenly... broke into pieces." Chalmers said, "We haven't figured out the exact method yet. We only have a rough suspect."
"Who?" Kud asked this question subconsciously, and in less than a second, he guessed the answer, "Is it Gerald?"
"Yes, before the assistant died, Gerard was the person he talked to the longest." Chalmers said, "And not long after Gerard left, the assistant died."
“…Is there any evidence?”
"That's the problem... still nothing." Chalmers sighed, "As I said just now, we still don't know how the assistant died. This is totally not Tianqin's power."
"…What happens next?"
"According to the rules, we naturally have to find Gerard, the first suspect. A knight from another squad found him at the 'Rim' station, so the knight conveyed the news to the headquarters and kept an eye on him at the scene."
Kud suddenly felt uneasy: "Will Gerard kill this knight as well?"
"Not really." Chalmers shook his head.
Just when Kud was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Chalmers say indifferently.
"It was just an unsuccessful attempt. When the follow-up troops arrived, they saw Gerard holding his chainsaw sword on the knight's neck, and the chainsaw sword was activated. If the follow-up troops arrived later, the tragedy might have already happened, and another innocent life would have been lost today." At this point, Chalmers immediately became indignant, "This guy is obviously crazy! We must find a way to convict him immediately..."
"Why did Gerald attack that knight?" Kud did not pay attention to Chamos' emotional output, but asked this question, "Did he explain the reason?"
Chalmers was stunned: "What?"
"I mean..." In front of the minister's office, Kud stopped and looked at Chalmers, repeating his previous question word by word, "Why did Gerard attack that knight?"
"Well, it's because the knight made illegal modifications," Chalmers said. "He added two mechanical arms to his back."
Kud's brows immediately frowned.
"Hey, boss, you're not going to speak up for Gerard at this time, are you?" Chalmers said in surprise as he saw the change in Kud's expression. "Even if that knight really did violate the rules, Gerard doesn't have the authority to kill him on the spot."
Kude still ignored Chalmers' complaints and asked again: "What else did they confess?"
"Gerald said that the Skeleton Knight said that an organization called the 'New Chasing Society' asked him to install the mechanical arm." Chalmers said, "But this was denied by the Skeleton Knight. He said that he did not say such a thing and that it was all made up by Gerard."
Cooder fell silent.
This silence made Chalmers feel a little uneasy. He had always felt that something was wrong, but he hadn't noticed it. Now he gradually realized it and asked, "Boss, what's wrong with you? Why do I feel so strange about you today? Didn't you go to investigate the case? But shouldn't that case be investigated in District 4? How come you don't know anything... Where did you go?"
Kud was silent for a while, then he slowly said: "I did go to investigate the case, but I didn't start from District 4."
"So what did you find out?"
"Everything is normal, but...not normal." Kud said like a riddle man, "So I can't say for sure now. I need to wait and see."
As he spoke, Kud was about to enter the minister's office.
Chalmers hurriedly stopped him: "Hey, hey, hey, don't be a riddler here! At least tell me something!"
Kud looked at Chalmers deeply, and then left a sentence.
"Skeleton Knight illegally added a mechanical arm. That should be a felony, right?"
"Illegal addition of a robotic arm..." Chalmers recalled, then frowned and nodded, "It seems to be a serious crime. What's wrong?"
"But before I reminded you, did you realize this?" Kud said softly, "Don't you think this is just a small violation?"
Chalmers was stunned.
