[Two things to note: the author of this book truly wrote it purely out of love; all the royalties combined amounted to less than 30 yuan! So please be kind with your comments.]

[Secondly, the exams are over, and I'm using this time to release the ten or so chapters I've prepared, after which I'll begin a fast-paced, large-scale plot!]

[Stay tuned and please show your support!]

The four words "wealth, companions, methods, and place" are universally applicable in any extraordinary world!

Of the four elements—wealth, companionship, law, and land—wealth ranks first!

What a magician truly needs most is resources—a powerful force and a strong background that is willing to nurture him.

The trial court was undoubtedly the hall of dreams for all students. Thinking that he could become a judge if he performed well in this mission, Liu Yilin felt his inner universe burning.

Such an opportunity to leap over the dragon gate doesn't come every day; Liu Yilin must seize it!

"Liu Yilin, where are you going?" Liu Yilin's best friend asked, somewhat puzzled, when he saw his outfit.

This is how he was driven to despair by the Dragon Python Mage Mo Fan, and then rebuilt himself from the ashes.

So happy?!

"Go and carry out the trial proceedings," Liu Yilin said, his face beaming.

"Come on, you're just a prospective judge."

"Although it sounds promising at school, I have no idea that this thing is a far cry from being a real judge. How could the court possibly send you on a mission?" the brown-haired boy laughed.

"I can tell you that if this mission goes smoothly, I will soon be promoted to trainee judge. If I'm even luckier, I might be promoted directly to full judge. At that time, who in the entire Zhejiang University can compare to me, Liu Yilin?" Liu Yilin said.

"Is this for real?" The brown-haired boy asked, seeing that Liu Yilin didn't seem to be joking.

"Of course!"

……

Just one hour after Mo Fan and Tang Yue fled White Town with the Sky Serpent, which was likely the source of the plague, the first three patients infected with the plague died in their hospital beds.

This incident caused a sensation in the medical community, and countless experts gathered at the Magic Association Hospital.

These people formed a circle, each wearing a protective mask, staring in shock at the severely decomposed corpse lying on the hospital bed.

After the blisters on the three corpses burst, their bodies were rapidly corroded.

During the day he just looked like a patient, but by night, he was completely unrecognizable!

"Mr. Lu, what are your thoughts?" Zhu Meng asked in a calm voice.

Anyone who is about to embark on a major undertaking and then suffers a series of setbacks will feel bad!

Mr. Lu waved his hand, signaling the nurses to cover up the body. Even a titan of the medical industry like himself found the sight somewhat unbearable.

"This plague is the most terrible I have seen in more than ten years."

We've already calculated that from infection and onset of the disease to this state, it only took seven days in total.

Seven days...

This gives us far too little time!

Mr. Lu, representing all the healers and himself a top-tier healing mage, could only describe his shock at this plague!

"Your Honor, I think you should know that the number of infected people has now exceeded a thousand, right?" Zhu Meng glanced at Judge Tang Zhong.

"I know." Tang Zhong nodded, his face grave. "This is far more terrifying than the previous hive virus, or even the hepatitis A virus before that!"

Extremely high mortality rate!

The exact transmission route has not yet been fully determined; it's comparable to the plague!

"Seeing these three corpses, do you still think that I, Zhu Meng, am playing with my life and plotting to frame your god?" Zhu Meng pointed to the three corpses covered by white cloth and said with some indignation, "I, Zhu Meng, would never stoop to using such ridiculous methods."

If you still believe your god is innocent, then what explanation is there for these corpses?!

At this moment, Zhu Meng was truly enraged!

Luo Mian, you really deserve to die!

Just wait!

Once I find the evidence, I'll show you just how sharp this knife is...

Presiding Judge Tang Zhong remained silent.

This result was also very difficult for Tang Zhong to accept. At first, he and his clan believed that the two newly discovered corpses were the work of Zhu Meng or some opportunists.

But when he discovered that the deaths of the plague victims were identical to those of the two corpses from before, he was shocked!

It wasn't Zhu Mengqian...

Could it really be the totem snake?

While black snakes are indeed non-venomous during their molting period, this does not mean they cannot actively release venom!

Could it be that the totem snake, in its molting phase, has become so frenzied that it can no longer control its evil nature?

Is one of the three totem beasts that exist in the Dragon Kingdom going to degenerate into a demon?

The reports are everywhere, and all major news media are focusing on Hangzhou.

Furthermore, the two corpses killed by the Totem Serpent and the person who died of illness had the exact same symptoms. Once this news spreads, the panicked city of HZ will surely launch a campaign against the Totem Serpent!

At that time, regardless of whether their totem guardian clan announces the matter of the totem serpent, the totem serpent will completely turn into a calamity.

If the government doesn't remove it, and the courts don't remove it, the people will put enormous pressure on all the major powers to force them to remove the totem snake.

The Tang family will also be plunged into the abyss!

"The totem snake has roosted in West Lake for countless years, and such a plague has never occurred before..."

"I think I need to investigate this matter thoroughly," Tang Zhong said earnestly.

After much deliberation, decades of habit and centuries of tradition, coupled with his belief in totems, led Tang Zhong to resort to delaying tactics!

"Tang Zhong!!" Zhu Meng shouted angrily, his beard trembling slightly.

He pointed at Judge Tang Zhong and roared angrily, "Even now you're still protecting that totem serpent. Do you even understand the current situation?"

As the presiding judge, are you really going to blindly adhere to these ridiculous ancestral precepts and watch these people die?

"Perhaps it seems to inhabit our city now, but in fact, the totem serpent existed many centuries before us humans. Our ancestors sought the protection of the totem serpent to survive in the cruel territory ruled by demons and build cities here, living in peace and prosperity."

History has not recorded this period, but we have kept it in mind for generations to come.

In this plague, I also understand that the totem snake is the most likely culprit.

But please allow me a little more time. I will have Tang Yue bring back some of the body fluids from the totem snake when it molted. If antibodies can be extracted from it, we can prevent the spread of this plague.

"But I still beg you, Councilor Zhu Meng, not to go to such extremes!" Tang Zhong said.

After such an incident, Tang Zhong, as the patriarch of the totem clan and an excellent patriarch, should first admit his mistake and do his best to save the life of the totem serpent.

Even if it was responsible for this plague, it cannot kill the totem snake.

Even from a broader perspective, its existence is of great significance to the entire city of Hangzhou.

Without this totem serpent, this city would have been riddled with holes and might not have existed at all, due to countless wars throughout history.

Tang Zhong now has only one request: to spare its life.

Let them drive them away; it's better than being killed by humans.
