【Respect】The Beautiful Future

Those two days were unexpectedly uneventful, and until Miwa Yiyan arrived in the Japanese area and the military court officially opened, Munakata Reiji still did not make any moves.

Since the military base has been under the management of Reiji Munakata for a long time, the soldiers who escorted him to the court were very polite all the way.When Munakata entered the court, other people in the trial hall were already present, and everyone looked at him at the same moment, but he seemed unaware of the different gazes intertwined on him, just in a strange silence Walking steadily towards the podium.

Reiji Munakata took off his military uniform and changed into a long black trench coat today, standing tall and slender on the podium.He raised his hand to push up his glasses a little, hiding his sea-like deep purple eyes, and then began to look around.

The scale of the trial hall is large, and the layout is neat and solemn. The red badge of the Chinese Federation is painted on the most central wall.Miwa Yiyan sits at the head of the judge's bench in front of him, and the witness stand is on the diagonal to the right. The prosecutor who will interrogate Munakata on behalf of the Federation sits not far from the speech stand. On both sides of the hall are auditorium seats. .

Munakata's eyes lingered on the gallery for a while, then turned back calmly.Although civilians have no right to attend the trial, various military officers in the Japanese area and some reporters also filled the seats.However, apart from Seri Awashima, no one from the Fourth Army was there at this time.

Everything was ready, Sanwa glanced down and announced the opening of the court.

The prosecution began to read out the indictment against Reiji Munakata according to his words, counting all the crimes he committed after he entered the military since he was a test subject. Everything was just as Yu Zhangxun said that day. All the time was spent trying to portray him as a sinful rebel.

The prosecutor's voice was deep and heavy yet just right for anger. After the reading was finished, everyone present including Miwa Yigen took a deep look at Munakata in disbelief.In the Federation, the name of Munakata Reishi is always accompanied by victory and glory, and the title of the Sword of the Federation is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. If it were not for such a solemn occasion, they would almost suspect that they had misheard the name.

In contrast, Munakata's reaction was extremely indifferent. He looked at the prosecutor as if he was listening seriously, but his expression remained calm.

The prosecutor put down the indictment in his hand, looked up at Munakata with interest, and said coldly: "Munakata Reishi, how do you decide whether you are guilty or not guilty of the charges against you?"

Munakata finally spoke, with a clear voice and a smile of unknown meaning: "I'm not guilty." He paused, and continued in the same gentle tone as before, "I object. First of all, I don't think that I, as a test subject, Birth can also be included in the crime. Secondly, I admit that you have violated many of the military regulations, but you must also admit that I have received the punishment that I deserve after making mistakes. If they are now It is still used as a reason to prosecute me—then what about the severe punishment given to me by the Federation? Where is the prestige of the Federation?"

The prosecutor was stunned for a moment, obviously did not expect Munakata to ask back, before he could answer for a while, Munakata continued lightly:

"Or let me guess, the Federation specifically listed these just to show that I have a bad record of violating military orders many times?"

The prosecutor was at a loss for words for a moment, then straightened his face and replied calmly: "...I'm sorry, I was negligent. Then you filed a lawsuit after you arrived in Japan, do you still have any objections?"

"please continue."

"At the beginning of 801 in the Han calendar, you were entrusted by the Federation to be in charge of the Japanese region. After arriving, you disregarded the orders issued by the cabinet to suppress the rebel party many times, and you stopped the important perception experiment without permission, right?"

"Yes." Munakata admitted lightly.

"Because of your decision, the progress of the experiment has been delayed and stagnated, and you have threatened the experimenters not to allow them to report to the central government, is that right?" the prosecutor asked, staring at Munakata.

Zongxiang slightly raised his eyebrows, showing a helpless smile, "About this point, I think...you think too much."

"So it's a denial?" the prosecutor asked.

Zongxiang was noncommittal, and the prosecutor slowed down the questioning and asked to call witnesses.

Not long after, a slightly thin man walked up to the witness stand. He was wearing a white overalls. He didn't know if he was too hasty to change in time or he didn't bother to change at all. There was a hint of impatience in his eyes.Arakawa sighed and glanced in the direction of the judge, and Miwa nodded to indicate that he could start.

Arakawa Zebei casually recalled: "The federation gave me full authority over the perception experiment, so after Brigadier General Munakata arrived, I went to talk to him about the experiment. It was around the beginning of spring at the beginning of the year, and the perception test was completely stopped after that. .At that time he asked me to cancel the experiment, he said..."

He says--

What do you mean by sacrifice...?

Arakawa Zebei froze for a moment, and no sound could come out of his throat.

The man's pleasant voice clearly rang in his ears, knocking on his nerves word by word.

Arakawa Sawakita suddenly turned his head to look at Munakata Reishi, Munakata met his gaze, turned his head slightly in confusion, and showed a bland smile.

The meaningless smile gradually blurred in Arakawa Zebei's vision. He didn't close his eyes, but saw a thick black covering the entire field of vision, and in the deepest part of the darkness, he saw...a pair of purple-red pupil of the eye.

Those were the beautiful eyes of a little girl, without any emotion, but it frightened him, flustered him, and overwhelmed him.

Arakawa Zebei trembled uncontrollably, he raised his hand to cover his eyes and couldn't help but bowed down and sobbed in pain.

... What am I doing...?

"...Dr. Arakawa?" Miwa asked with a frown, looking at the distraught man on the witness stand.

"Yes." Arakawa Zebei put down his hand, took a deep breath and finally regained his composure, he paused and said, "Sorry, I thought of it, I forgot some details just now."

"Actually, I applied for it on my own initiative. After Brigadier General Munakata agreed, I stopped the experiment completely and turned to solving military problems."

"W-what?!" The prosecutor looked at him in shock.

Munakata Reiji couldn't help but look over in surprise.

"Then, as the person in charge, why do you suddenly want to stop the experiment? That experiment is very important to the Federation, and everyone knows this." Miwa asked.

"...It's boring."

"Boring?" Miwa repeated.

"I can't produce any results, I feel boring, it's just a waste of manpower and material resources." Arakawa Zebei's voice subconsciously lowered.

"But you have persisted for so many years, why did you suddenly decide to give up after Munakata Reisi took over?!" The prosecutor regained his thoughts.

"...Suddenly figured it out," Arakawa Zebei frowned, and stumbled out a sentence for a while, "There are not so many reasons, it's just that I didn't report it to the Federation...that's what I did...that's all."

Obviously, Arakawa Zebei is not a liar.But even if everyone present could see that he had changed his testimony suddenly, there was nothing he could do about his stubborn attitude. After all, there were only Munakata Reiji and Arakawa Sawakita present at the time.

Faced with this rigid situation, Miwa Yiyan pondered for a moment, then knocked down the gavel and decided to suspend the case, waiting for further investigation and collection of evidence.The prosecutor had no choice but to give up the pursuit and start questioning the next charge. His concise and powerful words made the people present stunned again.

It is homicide.Munakata Reisi murdered Yu Zhang Xun to usurp his position.

The monitoring of the corridor shows the process of Reji Munakata entering the commander's room that day, and the testimony of several patrolling soldiers that they heard gunshots that day, and the most critical evidence is Reji Munakata's behavior of taking over the Japanese area instead of Zhang Xun.

"After the death of General Yu Zhang, you immediately took the Japanese area into your own hands. It would be hard to believe if you said that there was no plan?" said the prosecutor.

"There is a plan, but to be precise, it should be General Habari's plan...it is his arrangement." Munakata replied with an almost imperceptible frown.

"This is the problem! Why didn't Zhang Xun Yu report to the federation to make a decision, but chose you to take his place? Is it just because of the virus in the Japanese area? Then as the highest military and political commander in the Japanese area Why did he keep the issue of his virus infection secret and not report it?" the prosecutor asked one after another.

"Oh—you mean that General Habari's infection is also related to me?" Munakata narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile faded from his face, "You might as well just say that I caused the virus in Japan of?"

"Answer my question." The prosecutor stared at him.

"It was General Habari's decision not to report to the Federation. Even I only learned about his infection at the end. Taking a step back, don't you know the reason for not reporting?" Munakata met his gaze, The tone is flat.

In that case, who would dare to replace Yu Zhang Xun?Who has the ability to succeed Yu Zhangxun?

"Don't be clever and throw rhetorical questions, answer my question, Munakata Reiji." The prosecutor straightened his back and looked back, "If you want to prove your innocence, explain these doubts clearly!"

"I can't give you a satisfactory answer." Munakata averted his eyes lightly, looking at Yoshitō Gangyi who was in the corner of the witness stand, "It would be more convincing to ask General Yuzhang's deputy to testify. You may be able to Hear the answers you want to know."

Shanjo, who had been burying his head all the time, moved his resolute figure slightly, and then he seemed to let out a long sigh, and slowly stood up and walked towards the witness stand.

"I certify that Munakata Reisi is not guilty." Yoshijo's resolute expression was slumped, but his words were slow and methodical, "General Habari thought that if the news of his infection leaked, it would cause turmoil in Japan, and the alliance would take the opportunity to join forces." The intensity of the large-scale attack. The situation in Japan at that time was beyond your imagination, so you would not understand General Habari’s considerations. The reason why General Habari was replaced by Brigadier General Munakata was because he was the only person with qualifications. The general ordered me to inform Munakata to talk in the future, and the surveillance also showed that I had been guarding the door, and no one could have a greater say in the facts than me who heard the whole process."

Yoshijo took a deep breath resolutely, closed his eyes tightly and still said in a strong voice: "... General Habari lost control, and in that critical situation, Brigadier General Munakata had no choice but to shoot and kill General Habari who attacked him... .... The Japan region cannot lose its leader, and the Federation also learned the news later but did not send anyone to come, so we elected Brigadier General Munakata to take this position temporarily."

Some people in the auditorium nodded their heads for the reasonable words, and occasionally some people sighed in a low voice.Unbelievably, there was only Munakata alone.

Shantiao Gangyi is perjury.But... why?Reisi Munakata, who has always been dissatisfied with him, will take the risk of being discovered and come to help?How could he, who was so loyal to Yu and Zhang Xun, say such remarks that could be called insulting to Yu and Zhang Xun?

Prosecutors were left speechless.In three rounds, Munakata Reisi was acquitted in this case.

After a long silence, Zongxiang smiled wryly.

——Then why did you choose me, just because I am your student?

——This is just my personal reason.More importantly, it is up to you to kill the commander-in-chief whose infection is out of control. This alone is enough for you to firmly replace me in control of the Japanese area before the Federation takes action, so that my army will obey you. In addition, Shanjo will help you too.

It's up to you to kill the Commander in Chief who is infected out of control.Shantiao will also help you.

Apart from Yu Zhangxun himself, who else can make Shantiao resolutely bear the pain of slander and have to testify?

It turned out that he even expected this step.

Munakata Reiji closed his eyes, restrained all his emotions, and when he looked up again, he realized that the Federation had released its final big move.

Crime of treason.

Some photos were scrolled on the screens installed on both sides of the courtroom. From the angle of view, they were basically candid shots, but it was enough for people to see the two parties in the photos clearly.The picture of chuckling and talking, the picture of lighting a cigarette, and even the picture of entering the Barbara.It can be seen at a glance that the relationship between the red-haired man and the blue-haired man is not simple, even... called close.

"According to the information, you and Zhou Fangzun, the leader of the barbarian party of the rebel party, were experimental subjects at the same time. We have known each other for a long time, and I also have a lot of testimonies about you having frequent contacts with that Zhou Fangzun." The prosecutor raised his thick hands A stack of documents, with a smile on his face.

Zongxiang smiled in a low voice, but did not speak.

If the squad leaders of the Fourth Army were present, they would glance at them with disdain as evidence of the photo: Is this considered intimacy?Everything we see casually is more explosive than these!

There was indeed nothing to refute, after all, he also showed Zhou Fang the royal power project document, which was the top secret of the federation.

"Now we are entering the cross-examination stage, Munakata Reishi, what do you want to defend?" Miwa said.

"I have nothing to say." Zongxiang smiled.

The prosecutor gave him a surprised look, and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he suddenly became enlightened.

It was the attitude of Munakata Reishi.Although he is usually difficult to see through, his attitude today is even more different, not only now, but it should be said that his attitude after showing up is very unusual.

Unusually calm and plain.just like……

As if what they were judging had nothing to do with his life or death, he just smiled to cooperate and participate in a game.

The prosecutor was inexplicably surprised.

The three rounds of words on the judge's bench have ended the conversation, and he raised his hand holding the gavel. He looked at Munakata Reiji and said slowly: "Then——"

"Then—" Munakata lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, his eyes fell on Awashima imperceptibly.

She raised her head to meet his eyes, and there was a hint of a smile in his violet eyes, but the corners of her lips moved silently.

Seri Awashima naturally raised her hand to straighten her collar. The miniature walkie-talkie stuck at the neckline was turned on. She opened her mouth, but was interrupted by a shout following the sound of the door being pushed open vigorously:

"Wait a moment--!"

Everyone is heading in the direction of the gate.The black-haired boy stood there panting, the golden afternoon sun came in from behind him, and the dust slowly spun and danced in the beam of light.Yatogami Gourou held his knees to catch his breath, straightened up and lifted the hand holding the terminal, and the real-time video window was projected.

After a very short sigh of surprise, it turned into silence. Everyone present stood up at the same time, turned around to face that direction, and bowed almost in unison. With all due respect.

The video shows the girl with black hair like a waterfall, and the red dragon on her dress holding her head majestically. She sits upright, her dark eyes sweeping across the audience, and her soft voice resounds clearly in the entire judgment hall:

"Gu trusted Zong Xiangqing, stopped the trial, and resumed his position. Later, Zong Xiangqing set off to Luoyang, the capital, to meet Gu, and those who stood in the way were shot dead on the spot."
