Special effects: Saving the world starting from becoming a Zergling

Chapter 96 The Day of Judgment: A Frame-Up (Part 1)

Time flies like an arrow.

Amidst their tense preparations, the next day arrived quickly.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The clock tower was struck, signifying the official opening of the court session.

The morning light shone on the faces of the people standing at the courthouse entrance, making them glow.

"Only Kagami can get in; we can't."

As Kagami, a family member, was led into the courthouse, Daisuke Kazama picked up a toothpick and shaved his own teeth.

"Don't worry, Kagami Riku is all prepared. We just need to deal with another group of people."

Ignoring the situation inside the courthouse, Yuzhen, dressed in a black trench coat, leaned against a pillar by the door, looking completely at ease.

"Let me see what other tricks you have up your sleeve, Reiji Nogi!"

Thinking about the information Mishima had told him, Yuma narrowed his eyes.

As Mishima had previously stated, Reiji Nogi would storm into the courthouse before the verdict was announced and disrupt the proceedings.

Then, when Nogi Reiji bursts in, Mishima will act with Nogi Reiji to save everyone in the courthouse, and with this achievement, he will take over Kagami Riku's position!

"I wonder if Mishima will ever reappear?"

Although Yuma and Mishima agreed not to bother each other, Yuma couldn't trust this ingrate at all.

In Yuzhen's view, betrayal is the most likely outcome.

After all, Yuma was also preparing to betray Masato Mishima.

While the people outside were waiting, inside the courthouse, Kagami Riku was brought into the courtroom to deliver his verdict.

Kagami sat in the audience, and even though he knew his father had made preparations, he was still a little nervous.

The person on the stage was his own father, yet he stood quietly in the audience watching his father being tried. This sense of powerlessness was something that others could hardly understand.

Kagami Riku naturally spotted his son at a glance. Looking at his son, who had matured, he gave Kagami a reassuring look.

"Please, everyone in the audience, don't get agitated."

As the presiding judge, Black Eye Owl naturally saw the interaction between the two below.

He struck the gavel silently, signaling the two men not to make any sudden movements.

Upon hearing the presiding judge speak, Kagami suppressed his nervousness and began to patiently observe his surroundings.

After confirming that the audience was quiet, Black Eye Owl was very satisfied with the result. With a smile, he picked up the verdict and announced Kagami Riku's crimes.

"The defendant, Kagami Riku, formerly held the position of Superintendent General of Police. He has now been exposed for abusing his power for personal gain. Does the defendant admit to this?"

Faced with Black Eye Owl's questioning, Kagami Riku resolutely shook his head: "I have never done such a thing. If the presiding judge believes I am guilty, please provide specific facts."

"Otherwise, I would never accept such slander."

After listening to Kagami Riku's words, Black-Eyed Owl nodded in agreement.

"Then let the plaintiff step in!"

As soon as Black Owl finished speaking, Mishima walked out from the other passage and straightened his tie.

Seeing Mishima, who had been missing for a long time, reappear, Kagami, sitting in the audience, clenched his fists.

"I am pointing out that my superior, Kagami Riku, is seeking extra benefits for himself."

With a serious expression, Masato Mishima revealed his identity as a Superintendent of Police.

This caused an uproar among the witnesses below.

The position of Superintendent General is second only to the Superintendent General of Police. The fact that someone like him is now pointing this out proves that Kagami Riku must have a problem.

"I initially thought the director must have been misunderstood!"

"He seems like a very upright person, I never expected him to do something like this in private."

"I heard that one of his two sons has gone missing. He must be making arrangements for his other son's future."

Kagami trembled with anger as she listened to the words spoken by those around her.

He desperately wants to stand up and loudly refute their doubts, but in court, that would only exacerbate their suspicions.

"ZECT's power is truly boundless."

He clenched his fists and stared intently at the smiling Mishima.

Mishima naturally saw Kagami, smiled slightly at him, and began to present the evidence.

"Not long ago, someone broke into the police department's archives with a letter. Inspector Kagami Riku, is this true?"

Looking at the evidence submitted by Mishima, Kagami frowned and then remembered this matter.

It seems that before they went to the laboratory, Yuuma wrote a letter to Daisuke Kazama.

Tell him to take this letter to the police station to investigate Yuriko's identity in order to help her regain her memories.

"But—wasn't that a letter written by Yuuma?"

Suppressing her inner turmoil, Kagami continued listening.

"That's true."

Kagami Riku calmly replied that he was of course aware of the matter.

After all, it was a letter written by Yuma himself.

How could this old man, who knows the inside story, not take a look for himself?

"So, isn't it a dereliction of duty to provide such convenient access to the police department?"

"Your name was specifically mentioned on it—Director Kagami Riku."

Looking at the aggressive Mishima, Kagami Riku remained calm: "So, this is just a mistake, not enough to warrant my dismissal, right?"

The more panicked and aggressive the enemy became, the more certain Kagami Riku became that the Protozoa would not be able to remove him from power through normal means.

With very few exceptions, he kept most of the things he did so secret that no one knew about them.

"In addition, a large amount of cash was also found in Director Kagami Riku's office."

"This is evidence that Director Kagami Riku accepted bribes."

Mishima submitted several more photos for Kurome Owl to review.

"Do you have any further testimony to add, Mr. Kagami Riku?"

Seeing the ugly face revealed by the black-eyed owl, Kagami calmly instructed her accompanying lawyer to produce a document.

"This records the exact time everyone enters and leaves my office, as well as their personal information."

"And a large amount of surveillance footage."

"I can confirm that these funds were not retained by me."

He handed over a stack of documents, casually flipped through a few pages, and then closed the document.

After all, he wasn't a professional judge. He was only there to substantiate Kagami Riku's charges. As for the evidence, he could decide whether it was valid or invalid.

The large number of people on set were all actors he hired.

Don't forget that protozoa and zombies share the same ability: mimicry!

This is a blatant conspiracy involving only Kagami Riku and Kagami!

This is also the day of judgment against Kagami Riku, who will surely be killed!

"These materials are not representative, therefore I declare the evidence invalid."

The true colors and wolfish ambitions of Black-Eyed Owl are finally revealed at this moment!

He was a dove, a protozoan, and he couldn't take action.

But you, Kagami Riku, are just a tiny human. Do you think he can't do anything about it?

The extent to which protozoa have invaded the human world far exceeds what Kagami and his companions could have imagined!

Upon hearing Black-Eyed Owl's words, Kagami sprang to his feet, his furious gaze almost killing the person sitting on the platform.

"quiet!"

Seeing Kagami's actions, Black-Eyed Owl looked at Kagami with disdain and slammed his gavel down!

This is a courtroom, not a place where someone like you with no status can run wild!

Kagami naturally read this meaning in the eyes of the Black-Eyed Owl.

Immediately, he wanted to summon Steel Fighter to expose this person's true colors.

"Kagami, look at yourself! What kind of person are you?!"

The sudden reprimand brought Kagami back to her senses.

He first glanced at the furious Kagami Riku, then looked unwillingly at the sneering Black-Eyed Owl, and sat down angrily.

"Yuma, you guys better hurry up—otherwise, I really can't take it anymore."

Kagami looked at the indifferent people around him, clenched his hands tightly, and felt that the anger in his heart was about to burn through his skull.

Why—why is it that this world, under the control of these people, can so arbitrarily turn black into white?

This world shouldn't be like this!

The injustice done to her own father deserves a proper trial under the supervision of a judge.

Instead of colluding with each other as is the case now.
