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

"Strangle the future of New Ailidu? General Mu, please don't put such a heavy accusation on us. Such words..."

"It's not your turn to speak here!"

The old man interrupted the other party without hesitation and continued

"Gentlemen, the outcome is already clear. Why waste time on a trial? Are you truly incapable of hearing the public's outrage?"

"The city government has made a huge mistake. When I first heard the news, I had anticipated the situation, but my assumptions were not entirely correct."

"I thought some would shirk responsibility, some would purge, some would flee, some would protest, and some would conduct self-investigation..."

"But in the end, the damned kept struggling, the cowards remained cowardly, and no one could be seen doing anything."

The old man glanced at everyone with his fierce eyes. The intimidation he had gained from fighting in the army still existed, making people feel intimidated.

"What are you planning to do hiding in your turtle shell?"

"Don't dream of everyone cleaning up their own mess. No one is immune. The blame lies with the entire municipal government. Everyone should reflect on this!"

"No, perhaps for you, reflection is of no use..."

The old man shook his head, his tone cold.

"Haha, what a shame..."

He smiled calmly, his emotions slowly calming down.

Or perhaps he could control his anger freely. As an old general, he was naturally good at managing his emotions.

"What are you going to show me today?"

"A play, a show?"

"Let me see how you show off your authority as a municipal government official."

"Citizens took their case all the way from the Basic Court to the Supreme Court... Hahaha, this is really interesting."

The old man suddenly laughed out loud, but this laughter sounded extremely ironic to others.

"You have disrespected the court and disrupted the order of the trial court, General Mu, you have really gone too far!"

On the other side, listening to the old man's constant words, the deputy mayor finally became a little impatient and looked at him and spoke.

He could not tolerate the city's image being degraded again and again, which would be a disaster for the city.

"You have no idea what is excessive, Mr. Deputy Mayor. I would like to tell you what is right, and I have a lot of long speeches, but I can't say..."

The old man's eyes fell on the deputy mayor. His aged face had a hint of oppression, making it difficult to breathe.

"I'm too old, too tired, and have long since faded from the center of power..."

"I'm telling you, if it were thirty years ago, I wouldn't have bothered with this nonsense. I would have brought my men to shoot all the termites here!"

"Excessive? Who do you think you're talking to!?"

The old man slammed the table. Although his words were tinged with anger, no one who knew him would doubt the truth of his words.

The sound of a huge bell echoed in the courtroom.

"I've seen it all. When I was in a high position, even important municipal decisions had to be discussed with me!"

The old man stared at the deputy mayor, and everyone's eyes fell on him. The huge pressure made his face look a little gloomy.

"I've seen young men from among them join the Scepter Army, hold their ground, and be torn to pieces by the skeletons in the Hollow, leaving their lives behind!"

The old man did not put too much pressure on the deputy mayor, but simply withdrew his gaze and looked at the municipal officials.

“Death is certainly terrible. Soldiers die of emptiness, politicians die of fatigue and illness in municipal affairs, and sheriffs die in the city…but none of these are as terrible as the death of the spirit.”

"Death can fill the gap. Life continues to pass on. New Ai Li will move forward with the support of the spirit. But once the spirit dies, there is no way to recover."

The old man's eyes were sharp and he said in a cold voice:

"Do you think you are just trying to get away with it, save yourselves, and make the city less embarrassed?"

"But I think you are guillotining the spirit of the whole municipality!"

"Just for that useless image?"

He was a soldier, a soldier with a hot temper when he was young!

"You're harming the citizens you're supposed to be serving. You're a bunch of municipal assholes, all of you."

The old man continued to speak.

"My council was still alive. Do you know what they said when I went to talk to them and learned about the current situation?"

"They said *you**!"

The vulgar words fell, but they were colder than the sharpest knife, piercing straight into the heart of the municipal government.

In the corner of the courtroom, the reporters, whether they were watching the live broadcast or taking photos, all looked surprised. If the situation wasn't wrong, they would definitely be whispering to each other.

"General Mu, please sit down."

Above, the judge knocked the gavel and spoke, feeling somewhat relieved that General Mu's target was not him.

Otherwise, it would be a very unpleasant feeling to be scolded.

Just look at the deputy mayor over there whose face is as black as the bottom of a pot and you will know.

He was quite unlucky. He was just about to clean up the mess because the municipal government was about to change, but he didn't expect it to be such a mess...

Now he spoke only after seeing the old man pause. After all, he was a judge and he had to maintain order and the dignity of the court. He had to speak even if he failed.

"I haven't finished yet."

The old man raised his hand and said something, then continued

"Before coming here, Xin told me about her concerns. She wanted to make the trial as mild as possible, fearing that citizens would become completely disappointed with the city government."

"But when the root rot spreads, there's no need to save the entire tree. It's better to tear it down and start over! It just so happens that the municipal government is about to change, so it won't affect anything."

"Because everyone knows that your current municipal administration is utterly rotten. It has nothing to do with the next one. As for the next one... we'll have to wait and see."

In the audience, Xin's eyes lit up as she listened to the old man's words. Yes, why didn't she notice this truth before.

What does the bad things of the previous session have to do with the next session?

How much more do we need to consider when judging a municipal government that is about to be replaced?

If all the previous words of the old man were to create an atmosphere and express his own attitude, then this sentence would undoubtedly make rational people understand.

They protect their reputation, which does not belong to the municipality but only to them.

Even if there is a relationship, the impact will not be great.

Ultimately, the timing was perfect.

The municipal government is about to change...

"I don't know what the verdict will be, because I'm not a judge or a judge..."
