Chapter 1048: "Justice"

"So fast!?"

Sun Bumian looked at Liu Qingyan, who was speeding up, in surprise. After the few of them looked at each other, they immediately chased after her.

Liu Qingyan followed the red thread in her hand, shuttling through a desolate street. The red thread swayed in the void and finally disappeared in front of an unfinished building.

It was an unfinished building that had only completed its basic support. It had no roof, let alone a finished facade. From a distance, it looked like an abandoned ruin. The cold wind surged through the empty floors, making a whimpering sound.

"...He is here."

Liu Qingyan held one end of the red thread and said firmly.

The three of Jian Changsheng looked at each other and walked straight into the unfinished building. After walking through the entire floor, they said suspiciously:

"But there's nothing here..."

"Didn't I say? He hid the Red Heart in the cracks of space." Sun Bumian spread his hands. "Even if they are in the same location, they are in another space. We can only see the Red Heart if we break into their space."

Jian Changsheng reached out and swung his fists hard at the void, but hit nothing. He was a bit annoyed:

"This [Hide-and-Seek] is too disgusting! We clearly locked onto the Red Heart's location, but we just can't get in??"

"Our rank is not high enough, and our path has nothing to do with space. It's not that easy to get in." Sun Bumian said in a deep voice. "But being able to lock onto the Red Heart's location is already quite good. Someone in the Twilight Society must be able to break through space!

We'll go ask for reinforcements immediately, and then..."

"Go!!"

Jian Changsheng was extremely anxious. He didn't even wait for Sun Bumian to finish speaking, turned around, and rushed out of the unfinished building.

But after running only two steps, Sun Bumian and Jiang Xiaohua saw Jian Changsheng frozen in place. He stared blankly ahead, rubbed his eyes hard, with a look of having seen a ghost...

"Spade, what's wrong?"

Jian Changsheng didn't answer. He just stepped back in a daze, and then another step...

At the same time,

A man wearing a blood-stained law enforcement officer's trench coat walked slowly into the unfinished building, walking forward against Jian Changsheng's subconscious retreating steps...

"How is this possible..." Jian Changsheng muttered to himself, "I thought you had already gone with Aurora City..."

Seven silver patterns flickered silently on the hem of the law enforcement officer's trench coat.

The black trench coat danced like a ghost in the cold, whistling unfinished building. The man came to Jian Changsheng, swept a glance at him casually, and then looked at the void ahead. A domain unfolded rapidly under his feet!

"Move aside, youngster." The man said lightly, "You're blocking the way."

Jian Changsheng was stunned. In the face of the same Soldier God Path pressure raging from the other side, his [Asura] seemed a bit weak and helpless. As the other party's domain gradually unfolded, Jian Changsheng gritted his teeth and had no choice but to dodge to the side.

Slender fingertips gripped the gun handle, slowly lifting from the center of the domain, the pitch-black muzzle locked onto the void...

The next moment,

The trigger of judgment was pulled in the cold wind.

……

Justice Judgment Court.

"In summary..."

"After the final trial of this court, the defendant Chen Ling has committed multiple crimes and is unforgivable..."

The new judge stood in the center of justice, reading the judgment on the paper word by word; above the blood-stained seats, hands soaked in sweat were nervously recording every word.

Tick—tock...

Blood dripped from the corner of the vermilion opera robe, gradually staining into a pool of blood. Chen Ling stood there quietly with eight bloody holes on his body, his eyes still filled with intense mockery and disdain.

[Audience Expectation +5]

[Current Expectation: 85%]

As two lines of text floated up before Chen Ling's eyes, his brows raised slightly.

He hadn't done anything, yet the audience expectation had increased significantly. Based on experience, it was highly likely that some change had occurred somewhere he didn't know about...

Could it be...

Chen Ling looked around and finally looked at the tightly closed door, a faint light flickering in his eyes.

The new judge turned the page of the manuscript. At this time, his lines were left with only the last sentence... He took a deep breath, suppressed his voice as much as possible, and spoke slowly:

"This Justice Judgment Court, based on human interests and moral justice, after final adjudication, sentences the defendant Chen Ling to death... to be executed immediately."

The judge put down the manuscript with a pale face and turned to look at Huang He.

Huang He, who had been sitting in the front row nonchalantly, finally stood up slowly, one hand pressing on the straw hat on his head, while walking toward the center of the courtroom... All the reporters present put down their pens and paper, raised their cameras to aim at his back, their hearts already in their throats.

They knew that after all the superficial procedures were completed, the most critical part had finally arrived...

Executing the World-Ending Calamity fusion host, Twilight Society Red Heart 6, Chen Ling.

"Do you have any last words?"

Huang He stood in the center of the courtroom, in front of Chen Ling. He spoke expressionlessly while working his calloused palms.

"If I were you, I wouldn't talk so much nonsense now... After all, villains always die from talking too much." Even though he had reached the point of execution, Chen Ling remained extremely calm.

"Heh, at this point, do you still not understand the situation?"

Huang He stood in the center of the courtroom, the pale lights of countless cameras flickering behind him, as if putting a halo of light on him. Against the backdrop of this dazzling light, his facial features facing Chen Ling became dark and blurred.

He raised his hand, pointed at Chen Ling, and the corners of his mouth raised:

"Now, I am the one standing on the side of justice... and you are the villain."

Chen Ling sneered, too lazy to even talk to Huang He again. The arms of his bright red opera robe slowly raised, looking like "if you want to kill me, just do it"...

The pale camera lights flickered frequently, reflecting the indifference and disdain in Chen Ling's pupils. It seemed that in his eyes, all of this was a ridiculous farce.

Seeing the look in Chen Ling's eyes before death, Huang He's face became even gloomier. He didn't hesitate any longer, but raised his hand directly and grabbed fiercely at Chen Ling's head!

Bang—!!!

Almost at the same time,

A deafening explosion sounded from behind him!

Bursts of terrified cries came from the reporter seats. Huang He's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked back violently...

At some point, the courtroom door had been blasted into pieces. The bubble shell that originally isolated the space was blasted open with a giant gap by a gunshot. The surging air waves, carrying cold wind from unknown origins, poured into every corner of the courtroom.

Dazzling white light filled the outside of the door, making it impossible to see the scene outside... But immediately after, a figure wearing a blood-stained black trench coat walked slowly out of the white light. The cold wind blew from behind him, blowing the fragments of the door all over the floor, flying like snow.

A voice as cold as frost sounded in the courtroom:

"Just because of you... you are worthy of representing 'justice'?"
