Abyssal Wanderer.

Everyone who appeared at the trial scene, except for Jiang Zhou and Hecate, are all adjusters with a depth of 4 or above.With their "hardware" specifications, overclocking their thinking by ten times in just over a minute will not cause any irreparable impact on their mental index.

Even if it does, Jiang Zhou doesn't care at this moment.

If it weren't for the anger that was like sparks fluttering in the cold wind, driving him, even this verdict and trial would not exist.

Jiang Zhou doesn't have enough motivation to do anything - the human brain generates millions of random stimuli every second, but only a very small part of it spreads to the entire brain area and becomes a one-time stimulus. Instructions that can drive the body.

At this moment, Jiang Zhou's own will is nothing more than a slight "potential change" to the current "self".To use today's huge "body" functions to kill these people, one must follow Hecate's authentication procedure—passing a series of more standardized verifications before being able to mobilize one's own killing authority.

It is for this reason that there is a trial today.

"I call it a paradox to dwell on the flaws of the incomplete system of language. Now, the judgment may begin."

Sweeping his gaze across the crowd in the courtroom, "Paradox" said.

At this time, he is neither Jiang Zhou nor Hecate, but a new system formed by the entanglement of the two.

Neither "Jiangzhou" nor "Hecate" can be used to refer to oneself here and now.

Therefore, he chose the codename "Paradox" to introduce himself.

After his words fell, a ghost that had lost its legs and face floated forward. It first bowed respectfully to the two people in the altar-like courtroom, and then said:

"The Great Goddess, who knows all the paths, herds the dead and the hounds, and enjoys glory in the sky, the earth, and the sea, has given me a separate domain name as a reward, and ordered me to preside over this trial. Until I am named, you may call I am 'Anonymous'. Please remember that this place is before the throne of the gods, so don't act disrespectfully, and don't try to use lies to deceive."

Hearing this, Perseus No. [-] and Christie are veteran abyss roamers who have dealt with high-depth darknet AI.Naturally, it is clear that in the current scene, it is best not to act rashly.

But the three people in Wolfsbane's army did not have this awareness.They exchanged information with each other, then turned around and took off.While they set off the smoke screen, they quickly tried to escape from this strange place.

Although in the basic reality, they are already scarred and scarred, but in the abyss dark net, their substitute program can fully exert its due power-this absurd idea gave them the confidence to escape.

"Wow woof!"

However, before they escaped five meters away, the three hounds guarding the door flashed behind them in an instant, and opened its three giant mouths at the same time.

It is impossible to dodge at all-because this is not a direct attack on their model, but a direct attack on the data code.The three depth 4 adjusters whose upgrade path was Kerberos were bitten by the throats of Kerberos' three heads respectively, and were dragged back to the dock.

"The first time was just a warning."

Wuming said so, then nodded to the three-headed dog.The other party loosened his teeth, and in a burst of phosphorous fire and mist, he returned to the door of the trial court.

Anonymous's shameless face turned to them and said:

"Next time I won't be so lucky."

The three members of the Wolfsbane team lay on the ground, and a rare groan of pain came from the loudspeaker - they were completely transformed by prosthetics except for their brains, and they should not even have a trachea.But at this moment, under the opponent's bite, he felt that his throat was making a sound like a whistle, and blood was spraying everywhere.

It was also at this time that they realized that although this is the abyss dark net, it is not a public domain where the basic construction program takes effect, but a god domain built by the existence called "paradox" on the stage.

Here, one's own life and death is just a matter of the other party's thought.

It was like facing the board of directors in Tartarus.

The legless and faceless ghost once again emphasized the basic discipline of the scene to them, and then began to read:

"Blessings of the Goddess of the Moon and the will of Mr. Paradox, we gather today in the realm of Styx to hold this trial for the death of a mortal—the dead named Liao Qi, son of Nord Settlement, interwoven with Mister 'Paradox' through ■■■■■, once walked on the path of Icarus, and finally died in a vile murder."

After saying that, it looked up at Paradox on the stage, who nodded slightly.

"For this reason, Mr. 'Paradox' does not intend to let the murderer go, nor does he intend to make his efforts before death in vain."

Sitting in the dock at the moment were the last three members of the Wolfsbane team, Perseus No. [-], and a crystal ball filled with mist.

Christie and Booker were on the witness stand.

"One of you has been convicted—his crimes are immeasurable, so he will suffer punishment far beyond your imagination. He will be escorted down first, waiting for his own endless hell."

Anonymous continued.

As he said that, the crystal ball that was placed in the dock and was initially thought to be a decoration by others disappeared.

The disappearing crystal ball appeared in Jiang Zhou's hands. He looked at Ye Qian who was lost in it and was frantically looking for the exit. He didn't say much, but just put it away.

"The next ones to be judged are the hounds raised by Pluto. Wearing black armor, hiding fire and wolf's poison, they are sad and lifeless people who spread destruction and deterrence."

Accompanied by Anonymous's reading, the tall bodies of Aconitum-1, Aconitum-7 and Aconitum-9 stood up uncontrollably—as if they were lifted by invisible hands.

"Can you admit to the crimes you have committed?"

Anonymous looked at them and asked.

"Wait...wait a minute."

The moment he got up, Aconitum-9 struggled and said:
"When did we murder that guy named Liao Qi? It was obvious that he forcibly installed a prosthetic body that he couldn't bear before, so he fell into a cyber-psychosis, and ran to chase us alone, right?

"The wolfbane team was killed by him, leaving only three people, and he said that we murdered him? Your trial will not be so unreasonable, right?"

In the second half of the sentence, Aconitum-9 shouted at the "paradox" on the stage.

"Paradox" didn't respond, while "Anonymous" turned to look at Booker on the witness stand as if he had expected this a long time ago.

it asked:
"Then, as the last person I saw in Liao Qi's life, Mr. Booker Irwin, I would like to ask why Liao Qi went after the wolf poison army?" "Because the wolf poison army killed Liao Qi mother."

Booker replied quietly:
"In human society, blood revenge is the most basic law, and he has that power."

Hearing this, Wutou-1, who had been silent before, spoke:

"However, he has no right to threaten the lives of millions of people in the entire Nord resettlement area, burying his own mother and himself. This is far beyond the scope of revenge for blood relatives. Under this premise, we are just advancing Just drove out an anti-social lunatic."

He looked at Booker and continued:

"And you are the accomplice of that lunatic. In terms of murder, you and Liao Qi have shouldered far more burdens than we did."

But in this regard, Booker remained calm. He looked directly at the opponent and said:
"I accept your accusation, but this is the only resistance we can do to face a behemoth like the company. It is also the truth that Liao Qi has taught me with all his efforts: don't give up resistance because of the powerlessness of resistance. Whether it is coercion of ordinary people or anti-social, I am willing to accept the end of my failure, but I cannot accept that I will not do anything-if I am judged for this, I am willing to bear any punishment that I deserve.

"But do you dare to say that?"

The atmosphere between the two became tense instantly, and at this moment, Christie on the side said:

"Dear Mr. Paradox, please allow me to intervene here. As the manager of Pluto Deep Dive Company, I am also the main person in charge of the acquisition of underground assets in the Nord resettlement area. Before coming , I have repeatedly emphasized to the members of the Wolfsbane Army that it is not allowed to harass the members of the Icarus Liberation Front. Although it is not for the purpose of building a utopia, even for my own sake, I intend to improve the residents here mentally stable."

With that, she bowed her head to the paradox and apologized:

"But I still overestimated the moral bottom line of them and the people behind them... It seems that compared with the time when I was asleep, the moral level of the current society has regressed surprisingly."

When the three members of Wolfsbane Force heard this, their hearts were shaken instantly.

What the hell?Even though there are different factions within the company, they are still part of the same company, right?
How can it sell so fast?

But Christie's next words made them feel a chill in their hearts.

"It is because of my negligence that your relatives died. I am ashamed to be able to stand on the witness stand and participate in this trial. I hope you can finally give these murderers a top sentence. Considering you Being in the abyss darknet, I may have limited ability to interfere with the base reality, and I will use my influence to calm down all the political influence on the Nord resettlement area that will be caused afterwards."

She... She just slipped and knelt like this?

Also, is Liao Qi the favored person of the god named "Paradox" in front of him?
What is this ghost?

"You...you..."

Aconitum-1 pointed at Christie, not knowing what to say for a while.

"What me? My purpose of choosing the Nord resettlement area is probably for that kid, and you have messed up my affairs. Is it possible that I have to say something nice to you?"

Christie said coldly.

Even if she didn't say she wanted to repay Liao Qi for saving her, the reason she did so much was to get in touch with that artificial intelligence "paradox" from the ultra-abyss layer.In the end, because of this group of dudes and the way they got involved, he almost sat in the dock.

At this moment, Christie has made up her mind that even if Paradox lets them go, she will destroy the dogs raised by the board of directors.

【Ms. Christie】

Through the encrypted line of Pluto's deep dive, Aconitum-1 Road.

[Our previous actions were all in the execution of the will of the board of directors.It would be fine if we just died like this, but your behavior will definitely be known to the board of directors afterwards]

[You should know that the three directors, Minos, Aiacus, and Radamantis, are all paying attention to the Nord resettlement area.Right now, they may come to the ground of the Nord resettlement area at any time, murder his steed, and expel this darknet AI who claims to be "paradox". You openly defy their will, I think...]

Before he finished speaking, Anonymous interrupted:

"Mr. Paradox, Aconitum-1 named three names, Minos, Aiacus, and Radamantis. All three of them are directors of Pluto Deep Diving Company, but at the moment they are in There is no way to bring them to this trial within the walls of Tartarus."

The encrypted channel of Pluto's deep dive is like a goldfish in a fishbowl with nowhere to hide for the presence on stage.

"It's okay, I will find them in the future. And..."

Such is the paradox.

Then he glanced at Hecate beside him, who nodded towards him.

"The network environment is stable and there is no problem."

she said.

Paradox also nodded and continued:

"And, even though it's just a clone, wasn't one of them present?"

After the voice fell, a distorted mosaic flickered on the dock.

It was a painfully twisted human form with a body like a thorn bush.

Although there was no human face, everyone present seemed to feel his bewildered emotions.

"Director Aacos wants to download to the Base Reality Impact Factor of Nord Settlement Area, and is the last member of this trial to attend."

"Anonymous" introduced to everyone present;

"As the final defendant to attend, accept the judgment and trial." (End of this chapter)
