Become a Knight Across the World

The chairman nodded: "That's the only way. I've already spoken to the court; the hearing is tomorrow!" The court is right next to the police station, so pagers are readily available. "The results should be out by tomorrow afternoon. Everyone, gather here before tomorrow evening! We'll discuss the plan then!"

"Roger that!"

A day passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it's the next day. The trial for the mentally ill man who killed someone in the street has begun.

Liu Hongyun himself is unlikely to appear; only his lawyer will be present. However, the mentally ill prisoner who was charged with murder is also present, so the trial can still proceed.

With the association's support, the results of this court hearing will be published online. After the incident, the association also generated a lot of buzz on short video platforms, with many netizens discussing the matter.

"That damned man! He attacked people in the street for no reason! I hope he gets punished."

"It may be difficult, after all, it's a mental illness."

"Mental illness is not a justification for murder!"

Soon after the judge and jury took their seats, the trial officially began. The lawyer presented the course of events and various pieces of evidence, such as the death certificate of Liu Hongyun's wife.

However, the defendant's defense attorney raised some unexpected points. He argued that the defendant, after all, was an escaped patient from a mental hospital, inherently mentally unstable, and incapable of controlling his behavior at the time of the incident. A murmur rippled through the courtroom as people began to whisper and question this view. But the defense attorney then presented an expert evaluation report proving that the defendant did indeed suffer from serious mental health issues.

The prosecutor immediately pointed out that even if the defendant suffered from mental illness, it could not be used as an excuse to evade legal punishment. Mental illness is not a pardon for crime, and society should adopt stricter management measures for mentally ill individuals to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

The two sides engaged in a heated debate, and the entire trial was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Regardless of what they said, ultimately, at the behest of the association's members, the judge sentenced the prisoner to five years in prison.

After the court hearing, the chairman of the association from City C came out from behind the scenes, looking at the staff around him with a serious expression.

"President, I've already planned the prison this prisoner will be going to. Here's the route!" The judge quickly stepped forward and handed over the tablet.

The C City president glanced at the route map and nodded: "Very good, that's settled. Announce the route plan to the public."

“Okay,” the judge replied, turning to attend to his business.

The trial's outcome quickly caused a huge uproar. Some expressed disappointment with the verdict, seeing it as a desecration of justice; while others expressed concern for the plight of mentally ill patients, calling for greater attention and support from society.

In the midst of this commotion, the mentally ill prisoner was taken to the police station, awaiting transfer to the designated prison the following morning.

In the evening, the chairman of the C City Association convened a meeting with Lin Mu, Zhuang Changwu, and others.

"Based on the speed of the prison van, it will take about three hours to travel from the police station to the prison on the outskirts of City C. About two-thirds of the way there, the van will pass through a small grove of trees. If we launch a surprise attack, that would be a good place to ambush them. It's highly likely that Another Kuuga will appear there! I think you should all go there in advance to ambush him and kill him when he appears!" Lin Mu and the others exchanged glances and nodded.

"Okay, let's do it."

Late at night, everyone hid in the woods and waited quietly for the prison cart to arrive.

...

"Brother, do you think the Alien Void will appear?" Lin Yue didn't participate in this operation. The association's reason was: "Kicking Huang's strength is only at a mid-to-low level, so this operation is not suitable for him." Lin Yue was happy to have some peace and quiet, but her intuition told her that everyone was likely to be disappointed.

“Little Lin Yue, he will definitely appear! The Alien Knight will only regain its full strength after fulfilling the host's obsession and devouring the consciousness. This is an open conspiracy! He has to come!” Lin Mu was on a video call when Zhuang Changwu squeezed into the frame to answer.

Another Rider is very selfish; only in this way can he regain his power, so he will definitely come. Once he gets to the prison, he will have a much harder time killing people.

"Alright, little sister, don't worry. This time, all the soldiers who came are battle-hardened. Just focus on your training!" Lin Mu and the others sent Lin Yue back to the base that afternoon.

"Okay, good luck then." After hanging up the phone, Lin Yue felt that something was wrong. She felt that the Otherworldly Void wouldn't appear, but... if it didn't appear there, where would it be?

She didn't think about it too much, but for some reason, she felt unusually tired, so she lay down on the bed and drifted off to sleep...

Meanwhile, in a small house in a rural village in City C, after Liu Hongyun had put her daughter to sleep, the voice of the alien, Kuuga, rang out:

"This is a trap! You will surely die if you go!"

“I know!” Liu Hongyun murmured. The hatred in his eyes had materialized: “That bastard’s sentence is out, the route has been announced! How could I not know? But this is a rare opportunity. Once he’s in prison… I won’t have another chance!”

Liu Hongyun felt as if all his strength had left him, collapsing to the ground, tears streaming uncontrollably down his face. He was filled with conflict and anguish; on one hand, he knew he was facing immense danger, but on the other hand, he couldn't give up this opportunity for revenge.

Just then, her daughter seemed to be having a terrible nightmare; her little face was tense, her expression terrified. Her little hands waved wildly in the air, and she uttered weak cries: "Daddy..."

Hearing his daughter's voice, Liu Hongyun instantly snapped out of his daze. He scrambled to the bedside, tightly grasped his daughter's small hand, and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be afraid...don't be afraid...Daddy's here..."

As if hearing Liu Hongyun's voice, her daughter's breathing gradually calmed down. Looking at her pitiful daughter, Liu Hongyun felt a nameless anger rise in his heart.

"dad……"

His daughter called softly, tears streaming down her tender face, a sight that broke his heart. Liu Hongyun held his daughter tightly, gently comforting her, "Don't be afraid, baby, Daddy's here."

Thinking of that despicable murderer, Liu Hongyun gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment and bitterness. It was all that damned mentally ill man's fault for killing his wife and depriving his daughter of her mother's love at such a young age. What angered him even more was that such a cruel killer was still alive and protected by the law.

"Why? Why did this happen?" Liu Hongyun murmured to himself, tears welling in his eyes. He couldn't understand why the law would protect such a heartless and inhuman person. This was pure torture for the victim's family.

He recalled the wonderful times he had spent with his wife, those sweet memories now becoming sharp blades piercing his heart.

"Actually, we have another way..."
