Feng Bangjie angrily accused, "You’re talking nonsense!"
"Then find a war zone officer who can testify for you, and we can connect live right here."
Zhou Zhengde reminded,
"Within two minutes."
Feng Bangjie was about to speak, but Mane Bear bowed his head and sighed, his voice low and continuous:
"My hands are stained with blood, I am ashamed of my actions. I admit, I have participated in numerous unjust investigations, and my investigations have served as a basis, leading the Judger to launch attacks on humans.
"The attack on the expanded Zone C of Fortress 76 was due to a report from an investigation I was part of, which brought an elite squad of the Spirit Management Committee’s Court."
Zhou Zhengde asked, "The Spiritual Ability User who attacked the expanded Zone C of Fortress 76 is the person in this photo, isn’t he?"
The large screens on both sides of the courtroom displayed the blurred figure of Mo Feng, along with her clear frontal photograph.
Mane Bear shook his head, "I was not aware. Our Investigation Team is only responsible for producing investigative reports. Once the reports are submitted, it is up to the Spirit Management Committee to issue orders and make deployments."
Zhou Zhengde frowned and said, "Mr. Wei Linzheng, the Special Commissioner, during the interrogation, also made several references to the Spirit Management Committee, the Judgement Team, the Destruction Team, the Investigation Team, and the various deeds of the Spirit Management Committee over the past decades... This Spirit Management Committee is the actual controller of Spiritual Ability City, right?"
A photo appeared on the big screen.
Wei Linzheng was sitting in a sunlit villa, dressed in decent clothes, a collar around his neck, a mild smile on his lips, and white steam rising from the tea cup in front of him.
—This photo was taken secretly; Wei Linzheng did not disclose any information concerning Spiritual Ability Users at all. Zhou Zhengde had orchestrated this play to cover for Mane Bear.
Mane Bear sighed, "If it weren’t for Mr. Wei speaking up, I wouldn’t want to say these things... I admit my guilt."
Feng Bangjie’s eyes were filled with despair;
Qin Qin’s eyes were full of confusion, how could that sinister old man, Wei Lin, possibly betray Spiritual Ability City...
Binzhong Natsuki immediately shouted, "Judge! I request Mr. Wei’s attendance!"
Zhou Zhengde’s eyes flashed sharply:
"We have already taken Wei Lin under deep protection. I think he has become a target that the Spirit Management Committee’s Court must eliminate!
"Senior Researcher Binzhong, your case is next!
"You openly violated the legal statutes, commanding Spiritual Ability Users to control the Commander of Fortress 82, using family and life safety to coerce the Governor of Fortress 82. The evidence chain is complete!
"You are still in denial!
"Spiritual Ability City is just an internal organization of humans, centered around the Thirteen Institute Headquarters, a scientific research city. Who gave you the audacity to forsake human interests, to try to control these fortresses, these last bastions of human survival! And who gave you the boldness to treat ordinary humans as mere materials, turning fortresses into your blood banks, sending ordinary humans like cattle and sheep to Spiritual Ability City, to participate in those experiments with extremely low success rates!
"Why haven’t these extra Spiritual Ability Users you added appeared at our front lines fighting against the Blade Beasts!
"And why, as these Spiritual Ability Users attack humans, try to control humans, and attempt to establish dominance within humans, how many more years do you think the remaining billions of people will endure your schemes!
"Answer me! Senior Researcher Binzhong!"
Binzhong Natsuki turned pale.
Suddenly, the large screen beside them displayed an incessantly shaking image.
A technician immediately shouted from the corner, "Someone is trying to hack into our system! Attempting to project image information onto the big screen!"
Another technician quickly shouted, "We have thwarted their cyber attack! Launching a retaliatory attack now!"
Zhou Zhengde narrowed his eyes, immediately realizing this was an excellent opportunity.
"Judge! I request to locate the position of the attackers and initiate communication with them!"
"Permission granted."
