I stood in the dock and looked at the huge screen on the opposite wall. This screen also appeared on the advertising screens on the street, on the TV, and on the Internet platform. The words on it were very simple, and it read-Party A: Party B . Everyone looked up, stared at the screen closely, and held their breath.
Group A VS Group B...
The screen flickered.
Group A VS Group B...
The screen flickered again.
After repeating it several times, there has been no win or loss on that huge match card, so there was a "buzz", and everyone was in an uproar. From the square to the TV, to the computer, everyone was disappointed and surprised. expression.
"Ahem."
I coughed and coughed twice, drew everyone's attention back.
"Oh." I stared at my face on the huge screen. It was a close-up on the dock, and it didn't look as hideous as I thought.
"Everyone." I looked around, looked at everyone, and at the jurors on the opposite side, smiled, and spread out my hands: "What? Just crossed back, I have found the uninfected person, that is, Xu Art, right?"
With that said, I looked at the scientists who guided me into the traversing machine.
The scientists looked at each other and nodded.
"Om—"
Everyone, Weng Ran, whispered again.
"Prosecutor, did you say it to me?" I turned my head to look at the beautiful prosecutor who was standing there, and made a gesture: "As long as I find the uninfected person, I can make atonement, right? ?"
The beauty prosecutor smiled at me, but did not say anything. He only looked back at the female judge sitting on the trial stand, then looked at the juror on the opposite side, and finally stared at the ring screen, bit his lip, and shook his head. Said: "No."
"Om—"
Everyone was surprised, and everyone looked at each other.
"Why?" someone on the juror whispered.
"Yes, why?" Many people asked.
"Snapped."
The beauty prosecutor patted his hand and said: "Everyone, I want everyone to think about it, ahem, look, I let the defendant travel to the past moment, and then use the scenario setting to find the uninfected person. I admit, He is indeed an excellent soldier. He can find the murderer in a few short hours, but... Well, have you thought about it? What does it mean that he found the murderer?"
"What the hell do you mean?"
Seeing that the prosecutor did not fulfill his promise, I couldn't help being a little anxious, and frowned, "What you just said..."
"Yes, I said I would make up for it." The beauty prosecutor turned around, shrugged, and looked at me with a pity: "I said, I did say it, but think about it, everyone. The defendant found it. Murderer, but have you ever thought about it, in fact, this also proves a problem..."
When the beauty prosecutor said this, he paused deliberately, took a breath again, bit his lip, and said one by one: "There are indeed uninfected people in the hotel in the quarantine area."
"Om—"
There was a great uproar and discussion.
The beauty prosecutor seemed to know that her words would cause a sensation. She pressed her mouth tightly and stared at the excited expressions of the crowd. Finally, she turned around, staring at the female judge, and said: "Your Honor, I admit that I said , If this soldier finds the real culprit in the scenario, that is, the uninfected person, he can make up for it, but, but, have you thought about it?"
She coughed, raised her voice, and her face gradually became a bit sad: "But, have you ever thought about this person—" She pointed at me and said bitterly: "This person has found an uninfected person, that is to say. , That bomb killed the innocent, the innocent, do you understand? In such a hotel, there is actually no contagious person, do you know what it means?"
When everyone heard this, she was taken by her aura, everyone held their breath and looked at her.
"Meaning—" The beauty prosecutor's facial features suddenly became almost distorted, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "It means that this uninfected person is likely to have a gene that is immune to the virus."
"Om—"
When these words are exported, everyone is boiling, the genes that are immune to the virus? That... Doesn't that prove that mankind is saved? Don't you need to be so terribly isolated everywhere
"Are you sure?" When the chief female judge heard the news, she seemed to be unable to sit still. She stood up in surprise and said: "Really? Can immune virus genes be detected in uninfected people?"
The beauty prosecutor smiled and said in an understatement: "Isn't this obvious?"
When these words were spoken, on the huge screen opposite, School A and School B suddenly showed their victory: School A and School B.
"Great-"
On the screen, many people stood in the square and cheered: "It's great, it's really great." Together with the jury stand, many people also applauded and cheered. Everyone's faces were jumping for joy, as if they had seen the meaning of life. Light.
"So everyone." Seeing everyone's expressions, the beauty prosecutor wiped a bit of viciousness on the corners of his lips. He looked back at me, and the smile gradually turned into a sharp knife, which was carved on my body little by little: "Everyone, Everyone now look at this hero, the hero who killed the uninfected with his own hands, what about it?"
"death penalty!"
Someone chanted from the jury stand.
"Death penalty!" This voice came one after another on the jury, and quickly spread to those screens. The people in the square were fierce. In front of the TV, everyone raised their hands, as well as on the Internet, showing the results of the voting on how to deal with it—"Death penalty "With an overwhelming advantage, it surpassed all other criminal law measures.
"Okay, Your Honor, my submission is over."
The beauty prosecutor shrugged, as if he had done a proud thing, waved his hand to the jury, and then glanced at the big screen. She turned around gracefully and returned to her position. .
Probably excited by the news, the applause on the jury still kept coming and going.
The female judge had already sat down at this time, and seemed to calm down from her excitement. The eyes that looked at me became colder, even a bit gloomy. They were those staring at the murderer: "Defendant, how? What else do you have to say?"
I didn’t say anything. I stared at the comparison of "Pie A and Party B" on the opposite screen, and then looked at all the comments about myself on the Internet. Well, at the beginning, "hero" and "executioner" were evenly divided. , Now it is the chants of "executioners" who are all yelling and beating.
Ha ha, ha ha ha ha.
I don't know what his chief would think when seeing this situation
I thought blankly.
"Defendant." The female judge suddenly raised her voice and said loudly: "What else do you have to say?"
I opened my mouth and looked at the vote score of "The executioner was sentenced to death" on the screen, grinning, and said indifferently: "There is nothing to say."
Sometimes tragedies are not caused by myself. As a soldier, I faithfully fulfilled my mission. As a defendant, I also faithfully found the "true culprit"—the uninfected. In a sense, I have a clear conscience. However, now I am going to be executed as the "enemy of the people", so what
Perhaps the moment he accepted the order, he had already expected this scene.
"No!"
I set up my posture and said firmly and authentically: "Plead guilty and slay the law, there is nothing to say!"
"Om—"
Everyone was in an uproar, and their righteous indignation suddenly turned like boiling water, and the curses of "murderer" and "executioner" were endless.
Seeing my expression, the female judge seemed to be sympathetic. She shook her head compassionately and glanced sideways at the jury. She was about to speak, and suddenly heard the juror headed speak; "We have nothing to say, it's all about it. The fate of mankind, I think we can announce it on the spot—"
Before the words fell, suddenly, Lawyer Wang stood up from his seat and said loudly, "Your Honor, I have something to say."
Everyone was stunned and all looked at the lawyer Wang. Lawyer Wang was not good-looking. He wore an outdated black dress like a mouse. However, at this moment, his face unexpectedly appeared unexpectedly. Dignified, he said word by word: "Your Honor, you seem to have forgotten that I, the defense lawyer, haven't spoken yet."
The female judge was startled and stared at Lawyer Wang. Others also looked at Lawyer Wang. She was probably in the doomsday. When people are in danger, they can easily become irrational. She heard the beautiful prosecutor say that “uninfected people have immune viruses. Everyone went crazy. The judge stood up, and the jurors ignored the procedure and simply wanted to directly sentence me, the "enemy of the people," to the death penalty.
"what do you want to say?"
Before the female judge could speak, the leading juror spoke with a sullen face, and the others also said, "Yes, at this level, what else do you want to do?"
"Yes, what do you want to do?"
"It's extremely urgent now, it's about the survival of mankind, do you still want to defend him?"
"That's right."
"All right-"
The female judge seemed to have finally reacted. After all, this is a courtroom, not a disturbance. She knocked the gavel and said loudly, "Everyone stay quiet."
