Chapter 144 Am I guilty? Then be guilty.

Lin Xiaohe's consciousness was as if it were encased in an insect sac. She could clearly hear the sounds of the outside world, but she was unable to respond.

Because she still needs to overcome the last hurdle—Little Black.

Although I don't understand why Xiao Hei has become a part of my body, that's just how it is.

A cacophony of inquiries came from the outside.

Are you a member of the rebels?

"Yes!"

Go to hell with his ancestors!

What a shameless scoundrel! He dared to impersonate me and ruin my lifelong reputation!
Enraged, Lin Xiaohe struggled and managed to crawl out of the insect sac.

What comes into view is a pool bubbling with golden liquid.

The surrounding area was filled with fleshy pipes, spraying out corrosive solutions.

Lin Xiaohe suddenly emerged from the insect sac, provoking the anger of the pipes.

The pipes waved their nozzles, trying to grab her again and stuff her back into the insect sac.

Lin Xiaohe controlled the little black beetle's body, dodging and weaving. When she couldn't escape, she turned and bit the pipes that were trying to bind her.

She had no idea where the end was, so she just kept rushing forward, with countless enraged pipes relentlessly pursuing her from behind.

As Lin Xiaohe ran towards the exit, she saw rows of busy, thick red pipes spraying out clumps of sticky, multicolored, semi-solid mucus.

Lin Xiaohe couldn't help but swallow hard. Among all these clumps of slime, she immediately spotted the golden one!
In a flash, Lin Xiaohe swallowed the clump of viscous liquid and then ran toward the white light at the exit.

After swallowing the mucus, Lin Xiaohe felt an indescribable comfort.

Whether it's physical or mental energy, every tiny corner feels as if it's been coated with a layer of lubricant, making it incredibly smooth.

As the sensation became silky smooth, Lin Xiaohe's consciousness seemed to rise continuously, ascending into the universe and into the territory of the Zerg.

She felt a hunger from the depths of her soul. Everything was edible, and nothing was a match for the insectoids. Any creature or civilization that stood in her way would become part of their diet!
This is an extreme form of cold-bloodedness and an instinctive urge to eat!

[The Strongest in the Universe] Shining brightly, this stone tablet is like an unmoving mountain peak, standing firm against the surging, violent spiritual power.

Lin Xiaohe swallowed all the spiritual power from the Zerg like a giant whale!
It wasn't a wasted trip, not a wasted trip at all. Since you dared to come to my spiritual sea, then let me eat you up!

In the courtroom, the air seemed to freeze for a moment, turning into ice.

Those inorganic eyes, looking down at ants, struck everyone's hearts heavily.

Even the viewers watching the live stream unconsciously slowed their breathing, afraid of attracting Lin Xiaohe's attention.

Lin Xiaohe blinked slowly, a gesture that added a touch of life to her.

The abundant mental energy was so powerful that swallowing it in one gulp made her feel dizzy from the carbohydrates.

Cassian asked uncertainly in a low voice, "Lin Xiaohe? Is that you?"

Lin Xiaohe did not answer, but instead looked indifferently at the court-appointed medical assessment team ten steps away from her.

What a coincidence, I still remember you.

Aren't you members of the Security Department's medical team?
What happened to the promised third-party appraisal? This is it?!
The head of the medical team, who was being stared at, was chattering and trembling all over, clearly terrified.

The white-haired old man looked very calm, but actually half of his scalp was numb.

He bluffed, "Lin Xiaohe, since you've confessed to everything, just accept your punishment! Don't cause any trouble. This is the Federal First Court, not a place for you to throw a tantrum!"

Lin Xiaohe pinched the mutated stardust creature clinging to her throat with her fingers and said emotionlessly, "Am I guilty?"

Chang Haonan, who was very close to Lin Xiaohe, exclaimed in shock after seeing the mutated stardust creature in her hand: "It's a mutated echo insect! Su Shuang, it really was you who did it! That wasn't Lin Xiaohe's statement at all; you controlled her with the echo insect!" The black-robed man sitting in the last row of the courtroom opened his mouth and hissed silently twice.

The mutated Stardust Echoing Insect between Lin Xiaohe's fingers was as still as if it were dead, not daring to move at all.

The man in black robes looked anxious and increased the frequency of his summoning.

Lin Xiaohe's gaze swept over, and the man in black robes froze on the spot.

At this moment, he felt as if he were locked up by some natural enemy, every cell of his body was sending out sharp alarms, but this suppression from the food chain made him unable to even speak.

Chang Haonan was furious: "So, this is how you got your title as the top lawyer in the Federation! You can't win with normal tactics, so you start using underhanded methods!"

Su Shuang sneered and mocked, "You're the one who can't take a joke! You call it a yes-man, so it is? Lin Xiaohe just confessed in front of the entire Federation, and now she wants to back out with such a ridiculous excuse. Do you think we're three-year-olds?"

Chang Haonan and Su Shuang started arguing, and the two started fighting.

"Silence!" The Chief Justice banged his gavel.

The entire courtroom fell silent once again.

Lin Xiaohe met the judge's gaze and asked softly, "Am I guilty?"

The chief justice met Lin Xiaohe's gaze without flinching: "There is no evidence to prove your innocence. But there is evidence to prove that Chu Huaizhi's coma is related to you."

According to federal trial procedures, the final trial outcome will also take into account the jury's opinion.

Lin Xiaohe looked at the jury and asked softly, "Am I guilty?"

The white-haired old man on the jury stood up abruptly, and said with great sorrow, "Of course you are guilty! Marshal Chu has sacrificed too much for the Federation, and his men are still fighting to the death on the Federation's most difficult battlefields. If we cannot uphold justice for Marshal Chu, wouldn't we be breaking everyone's hearts?"

Upon hearing this, Karin Reynolds' eyelashes trembled slightly.

This official was warning the jury that Marshal Chu's influence was only on distant battlefields, not because he was dead.

The Federation and the military must give those people an explanation for Marshal Chu's coma.

Among the federal government, the military, and Lin Xiaohe, is there even a need to choose who should be the scapegoat?

Karin Reynolds closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and cast her vote.

"The jury's final verdict: Lin Xiaohe is a member of the rebels and committed the intentional murder of Chu Huaizhi; she is guilty!"

Chang Haonan felt a sense of powerlessness.

He slumped to the ground, closing his eyes in anguish. This was not a victory for the law, but a victory for power!

Lin Xiaohe sighed softly: "I'm guilty? Fine, then I'm guilty."

With a pinch of her fingers, the Stardust Mutant Echo Insect instantly condensed into a cloud of blood mist.

The man in the black robe let out a heart-wrenching howl, and then, like an exploding balloon, he vanished without a trace in an instant.

The sudden and drastic change caught everyone off guard.

Lin Xiaohe's eyes turned bloodshot again, and that invisible pressure once again enveloped the entire courtroom.

"What, what do you want to do?!" Lin Xiaohe gripped the old man's neck tightly, and the icy touch sent shivers down his spine.

Lin Xiaohe grinned slightly, her scarlet eyes filled with murderous intent, and said casually, "It's a crime."

She naively added, "I committed the crime openly and honestly. Everyone saw it; I killed this old man."

 I was planning to add another chapter tomorrow or the day after, but my gut feeling tells me that if I stop at the previous chapter, I might get scolded...
