Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words

"Oh, by the way, I stole this candy. Better eat it quickly before it's found..."

Xuan Li waved his hand. After listening to his words, Xin gradually calmed down and opened the candy in his hand.

Although eating sugar here is obviously a bit inappropriate...

But it’s not against the law.

but……

What's the matter with the candy that was snatched away?

Xuan Li had just left for a while. Could it be that time? But from whom did he snatch it?

While Xin was wondering and waiting for the trial to begin, outside the court...

"The commission is over."

Lekaan clapped his hands. Now those people had been safely transferred to the hands of the Law Court, and what happened afterwards had nothing to do with Victoria Housekeeping.

It was really thrilling just now. I almost got hit by rotten vegetable leaves. And that "grenade" filled with insects, I don't know which genius came up with it.

Not far from Lekaen, Lina was looking at Ellen beside her and blinked in confusion, then looked at Kelin with a searching look in her eyes.

What's wrong with Ailian? Why does she look like that?

"Uh...it's Mr. Xuanli. I just bumped into him, and then..."

Kelin pointed at Ailian, not sure how to explain.

Mr. Xuanli?

Is Mr. Xuan Li here too?

Lina raised her eyebrows, and Ailian beside her also spoke angrily at this time, and the dissatisfaction in her tone was clearly audible.

"If you're so good at taking things, why don't you take what's in my mouth too? I don't know what you're doing, but you're plucking feathers from a passing goose..."

Ai Lian gritted her teeth, politely offered him a candy, and let him choose it himself, but he took it all away at once.

He even reached into his pocket to take it!

By the time I reacted, the person had already thanked me, turned around, waved goodbye, and left in one go.

People like this should be brought to justice!

He loves sweets so much, I curse him to be eight hundred pounds fat!

Without mentioning Ailian's accusation outside the court, the trial began as scheduled inside the court.

After the Chief Justice tapped the gavel to signal the start of court, the courtroom fell silent.

Following the procedure, the co-chairs began by presenting their accusations and demands, followed by a statement of the municipal crimes.

What followed was the municipal representatives' rebuttal and clarification.

Listening to the clear words in the courtroom, Xin looked at the municipal officials sitting in the gallery on the other side with cold eyes.

The municipality’s demands were not entirely successful.

What they are demanding is that the crimes do exist, but they are not committed by the municipal government, but by individual individuals.

As for some individuals, they are just abandoned pawns.

Maybe it wasn't all about finding a few scapegoats, but it was pretty close.

Minimize losses.

The trial was proceeding according to the procedure. Xuan Li's attention was not on the trial, but he asked Xin about another matter.

"Xin, how exactly is the Scepter Army's system calculated? Why do I feel like the New Airi City government's ability to check and balance the Scepter Army isn't very strong?"

When Xuan Li was planning to enter Cave Zero a few days ago, he learned more about the Staff Army. This was the first time for him as an officer.

"There are checks and balances, but the Scepter Army has a relatively large degree of freedom. In matters concerning the void, there has always been a separate military committee to make decisions."

Although Xin didn't know why Xuan Li asked this, he still explained it.

"Xuan Li, I'll explain it to you after the trial is over."

Right now, Xin's mind is all on the trial, and it's rare for him to refuse Xuan Li.

Xuan Li nodded upon hearing this.

His military officer status would be very useful in what happened later.

As the trial progressed and the "mutual attacks" between the two sides reached a climax, a voice suddenly rang out in the courtroom.

"This trial is a farce!"

Although the voice was a little old, it was resounding and immediately plunged the entire courtroom into silence, where one could hear a pin drop.

It was the old gentleman sitting in the upper seat who spoke.

He did not speak according to the procedure, but directly interrupted the trial process. The judge knocked the gavel, trying to pull the process back, but the old man interrupted him again.

"It's an insult to me to sit here and participate in this ridiculous trial."

The old man's low voice sounded, and someone on the other side could no longer sit still and said

"General Mu, you are no longer a general, and this is not the headquarters of the Staff Army. Please be respectful!"

"Show some respect, to you? Or to you all?"

"You don't even have the courage to face your mistakes. You're all just parasites who only care about preserving yourself. And you still want me to respect you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, some people in the audience could no longer sit still. There were still many innocent people in the municipal government, and they were naturally quite dissatisfied when they were scolded by the old man.

Just looking at the people in the audience who were fidgeting, the old man said directly

"There's no need to refute anything. At this point, even if there are innocent people in the city government, they are innocent people who are aware of the filth!"

"You saw it and cowardly protected yourselves. How can you call that innocent?!"

Although this statement seemed to be from a moral high ground, no one dared to refute it under the old man's aura.

In other words, he is qualified to say this.

"General Mu, are you finished?"

Seeing that the court procedure was a bit chaotic, the chief judge couldn't help but speak up to remind him, but was met with a refusal from the old man.

"No, I'm just warming up."

The old man stood up, his medals dazzling. He looked around at the people in the courtroom, his face dignified without anger.

"The municipal government is the cornerstone that ensures the advancement of New Ailidu and the confidence of the Scepter Army fighting on the front lines. Now it has become a rat's nest."

"You are so high and mighty, thinking that what you have done is so excellent, that you are the navigators of the new Eilidu..."

"Right now, who still remembers the declaration when the old capital was founded?"

"Deputy Mayor!"

"Chairman!"

"Chairman of the Association!"

"Senate Secretary General!"

As the old man called out the names one by one, the atmosphere in the courtroom gradually became tense and heavy.

In the audience, Xin was somewhat surprised that the old man would choose this method.

That's right, this sudden and rule-breaking approach really made everything the other party had prepared useless.

"By the way, where's the mayor?"

"The mayor resigned early, and there's no mayor in New Ai Li right now."

Listening to the explanation in the letter, Xuan Li sighed at the mayor's good luck.

Perhaps he is the only person who survived this trial?

During the trial, the old man had not yet finished speaking.

"What do you want to do? Pass the buck, delay the mistakes, and let the next municipal government solve them?"

"I haven't even seen your remedies. You are killing the future of New Erito!"
