âHe is a traitor to humanity!â
âHow deep had he concealed himself; we were almost fooled by him!â
âLuckily, we used soul inspection or we would have really trusted the wrong person!â
....
The palm-sized octopus was living inside Ferrotâs soul. The truth was before everyoneâs eyes, and no words could conceal this fact.
An uproar could be heard in court.
The Three-lives Mirror retracted its glow and reverted to its tattered-looking state.
Feng Lin noticed that there were now two more cracks in addition to the cracks that were already on the mirror earlier. It was now closer to the verge of shattering.
At this moment, Ferrot was like a dead fish, lying limply in his seat.
Countless sharp gazes turned over. They were filled with hatred, wanting nothing more than to tear him to pieces as revenge for those poor students who died.
âIâm now pronouncing Feng Lin innocent of the crimes he was accused of.â The judge decisively announced his ruling.
Feng Lin was silent; he didnât say anything.
After so many twists and turns, he finally proved his innocence.
Clap, clap clap!
The sound of applause rang out.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWell done!â
âEven when facing a situation thatâs so negative, you showed courage and took step by step to reverse it. As expected of a genius that has survived the attack from the Spirit Race!â
âExcellent!â
...
Now in hindsight, these jury members and people in attendance finally understood how impressive Feng Linâs performance was. The sound of applause roared like thunder.
Feng Lin smiled but his heart was calm. Such a display of behavior caused others to admire him even more.
The crimson-haired man that had been watching over him, Chi Tianjiao, had completely changed his attitude. He was now very sincere and apologetic. âIâm sorry, junior. I misunderstood you earlier. You are free now!â
Feng Linâs expression was calm. He nodded. After that, the shackles on him were all opened.
âPlease wait at the side to continue. The hearing isnât over yet. Next, we will continue to hear the case of the Great Qin Flying Shuttle.â Under Chi Tianjiaoâs lead, Feng Lin arrived at a unique seat near the center of the military tribunal.
âFerrot, how did you plan to harm the geniuses of humanity?â Since the judge had confirmed Ferrotâs identity as a traitor, he naturally wouldnât be polite. His spirit force gushed out, suppressing Ferrot completely, not allowing him to resist.
The river flowed east for thirty years, the river will now flow west for the next thirty years.
Feng Lin didnât need thirty years to get revenge on Ferrot for framing him. He already got his revenge now.
When Ferrot framed Feng Lin as the traitor, did he ever imagine that he would fall so quickly and became a prisoner?
Truly, it didnât matter if he died.
âI have a parasite spirit on me. As long as I board the flying shuttle, it would automatically send out a tracking signal at a unique frequency. Human technology has no way to capture that, but those from the Spirit Race can.â Upon facing the questioning of the judge, Ferrot was helpless to resist. His eyes were vacant as he revealed everything.
As the sound of his statement rang out, another uproar manifested.
âKILL HIM!â
âHe isnât fit to be a human!â
âBorn a human yet choosing to become a traitor to humanity, harming his own kind. Truly detestable!â
âWe must investigate his background and clearly check through all of his eighteen generations!â
...
The emotions of the people here were like flames about to erupt from a volcano, wanting to turn Ferrot into cinders.
The judge immediately acted. He directly connected to the humanity data vault and began to investigate Ferrotâs information.
âDefendant Ferrot, you have parents, an elder, and a younger sister. Your family looks perfect, why did you want to betray humanity and side with the Spirit Race?â The judge pressed. His gaze was staring at Ferrotâs eyes. As long as Ferrot tried to lie, the questioning methods would no longer be so gentle.
âThe United Nations of America has always been researching the various alien races. Once, as an elite warrior, I chose to join an organization. However, I discovered that everyone in the organization was already infected by the Spirit Race. I wasnât able to escape too!â Ferrot spoke lifelessly.
âWhat organization is that? Everyone was infected?â A commotion rang out. This was major news.
The United Nations of America was a Supreme Interstellar Empire, yet they actually had a traitorous organization? This was simply explosive news!
âWhat organization is that?â the judge repeated.
Ferrotâs expression showed a struggle. The octopus in his soul started to howl.
DIE!
The judgeâs eyes narrowed as his formless spirit force gushed into the octopus, causing it to explode.
Ferrotâs heart trembled; he couldnât resist the mental suppression and spoke with difficulty.
âArea 50!â
âWhat nonsense are you speaking?â Someone in the court raged.
Those people who were from the United Nations of America knew that Area 50 was one of the most secretive areas on the planet. All core secrets of the united nations were stored there. But now, this man actually said that the people of Area 50 were all infected and were now traitors? How could this be possible?
âYour honor, this man is already controlled by the Spirit Race. We cannot believe his words!â Those people from the United Nations of America were both shocked and angered.
âSilence!â The judge shouted. âWho dares to make a clamor in court? Whether this is true or not, I have my own judgment!â
After that, no one dared to interrupt any longer.
The judge cast a deep glance at Ferrot. âAre your words true?â
âYes,â Ferrot replied with a blank look on his face.
Those Americans were all extremely angered.
The others had gloating looks on their faces.
The United Nations of America was once a hegemon in the Ancient Earth Era. They were humanityâs number one country back then. But after the Interstellar Era arrived, they were surpassed by the Huaxia Star Republic and had always wanted to gain back their supremacy. They were deeply committed to developing science and technology, as well as research into alien races. But who could have thought that one of the most secretive organizations in the United Nations of America was actually infiltrated by aliens and not a single person knew about it? This was simply a joke to the entire interstellar humans!
âWhy did you not target others but chose Feng Lin specially?â The involvement of Area 50 was too scandalous; this wasnât a suitable topic to talk about in this military tribunal. The judge was content with a smattering of information about it and shifted to the next question.
Thatâs right.
Everyone also grew curious.
There were over fifty survivors of the Great Qin Flying Shuttleâs incident. Yet, why did Ferrot not frame others but chose to target Feng Lin?
Could there be something special about Feng Lin?
When they recalled the enraged monkey with golden eyes as well as the image of Fuxi in his soul, all of them grew more and more interested in Feng Lin.
âThis Feng Lin seems to be walking on a unique mythological path that specially counters the Spirit Race. Before this, the spirit lifeforms actually failed to do anything to him and many of them died instead. This was something they remember deeply. Hence, they placed Feng Linâs name into their killing list; all spirit lifeforms would do their best to kill Feng Lin if they encountered him. They are afraid that Feng Lin would become an extremely huge threat to the Spirit Race if he continues to grow. They want to strangle him while he is still in the cradle!â Ferrot spoke in a heavy voice. He was filled with trepidation about Feng in.
So this was the case.
Understanding appeared on the faces of everyone as they sighed in praise.
When Feng Lin spoke about his experience, it sounded simple but the difficulty of what he had done to survive far surpassed their imaginations. Since he was unaffected by the spirit lifeforms and could even kill them, how could the Spirit Race not feel wary about him?
A mythological path that specially countered the Spirit Race?
Without realizing it, their eyes were filled with fervent looks when they stared at Feng Lin. It was like they were staring at a priceless treasure.
âWe need to further investigate and verify the facts about the Great Qin Flying Shuttleâs incident. Therefore, we will hold court another day. This tribunal will be temporarily dismissed.â The judge seemed to be afraid that the things Ferrot revealed would be too shocking. It was no longer suitable for a public trial. Hence, he decided to end the court session here for now.
The vast majority of those who attended this court session today came here by virtual means. Many illusory silhouettes in this military tribunal glanced at Feng Lin deeply before disappearing from the spot.
âFeng Lin!â A crimson-haired, muscular fellow walked over. It was none other than Chi Tianjiao.
âSenior, is anything the matter?â Feng Lin spoke puzzledly.
Chi Tianjiao had a warm smile on his face as though all the unhappiness before was just an illusion. He laughed. âJunior Feng Lin, in order to express my apology, I wish to personally invite you to join the War Academy and we will give you a top-grade scholarship. How about it?â
