Transform into a human

"sure."

Faced with Bryce's questions, Snowfield and others, as the builders of the federal order, had to step forward and explain to the public, but it seems that someone else has done it for them.

Tang Xiao looked to the other side:

"Grindelwald, I've actually read your paper too."

Bryce was stunned; he hadn't expected this answer. He then smiled calmly.

"But it ultimately failed to gain recognition, didn't it?"

"Your ideals are too frivolous," Tang Xiao shook his head, "just like Chunyu Xunzhen."

Chunyu Xunzhen was once a professor at a federal national university.

"He argued with us logically, and I had to convene a meeting of many professors to deliberate. In the end, he was the only one who supported you."

Although Chunyu Xunzhen had not told Blyth the details of what happened back then, he had long been mentally prepared over the years.

Seeing the other party's nonchalant attitude, Yue Lai suddenly said:

"There must be many young people like you back then watching this hearing right now, and for their sake, not for us old folks, I have to stand up and say a few words."

Yue Lai is outwardly known as an immortal being, and no one questions his self-proclaimed title of "old guy".

"Not all of the Federation's top brass are scheming and despicable, at least not the ones I know. The problem you mentioned has been raised before, even by those who have ascended to godhood, but even they are powerless to solve it—the Federation is too big."

"The Andromeda Galaxy has a diameter of over 20 light-years and encompasses 71 star systems of varying sizes. The Federation occupies half of it, and even a god would find it difficult to turn it around."

"And that is precisely why the pioneering wars have continued to this day."

"The universe is vast. As long as we keep exploring, the problems you mentioned won't erupt, right? Even if the benefits of exploration are mostly taken by big shots, the current situation is always getting better."

"This problem will not fully erupt unless our rune technology and tearstone technology stagnate one day and humanity is trapped in Andromeda for a long time."

"But... even within Andromeda, there are still many blank star systems waiting for us to explore. You are worrying too much."

The three councilors cast approving glances at them, and even the starry veil that filled the lounge seemed to exude a touch of gentleness and goodwill.

For reasons that cannot be made public, "public opinion" for the federal leadership is not just reflected in votes, but is something tangible and quantifiable that is a matter of life and death for humanity.

Yue Lai's non-human identity is more suitable than theirs to appease the angry young people in the Chain Crystal Network.

"So, you just let those cysticercosis worms eat them off?"

Yue Lai suddenly chuckled:

There is an old saying in the empire: "Mount Tai does not reject any soil, so it can become so great; the sea does not discriminate against any small stream, so it can become so deep."

"Besides... Officer Bryce, aren't you that cysticercosis worm?"

Language is the sharpest sword. For so many years, Bryce had been using that theory to comfort himself, but now Yue Lai had ruthlessly ripped off his fig leaf.

The theory is wrong, and the people are wrong.

Bryce was pale. She put her arms on the table, opened her mouth, but felt her throat was extremely dry.

Love Wares was finding this "fake son-in-law" more and more pleasing to the eye. The problem was that he was older than her and she didn't know what race he was. She wondered if they could have a beautiful baby together. Li was so cute when she was little... Her thoughts drifted away.

This conversation sparked widespread discussion and even arguments on the ChainCrystal network. It's not that no one has raised similar issues before, and people complain about them every day. But no one has ever stepped onto such a stage, had the opportunity to face hundreds of billions of people, and used the ultimate influence to bring this matter to the forefront.

Its impact will gradually become apparent in the future.

As for the most direct impact—Warmth (Cavendish) behind the witness stand had tears in his eyes. If he were still standing there as Yue Lai, this resource would be enough for him to become a saint!

But that was none of Yue Lai's business; he steered the conversation back to the case:

"Although I don't know how Malfoy died, he deserved to die."

"He was also one of the masterminds behind the murder of Mr. Victor Casti, and he went to Esfri before his death, presumably for Mrs. Casti?"

"Fortunately, Mrs. Casti had anticipated this and hid herself beforehand, so you came up empty-handed."

Bryce's eyes became vacant as he stared blankly at Yue Lai, who was directly opposite him, but the latter did not feel the slightest bit of being watched.

He got the stage he wanted and expressed his ideals. Even though he has now betrayed them, he has still fulfilled his long-cherished wish.

Even if it won't be recognized by most people.

The chief superintendent remained silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly:

"I plead guilty, but I hadn't even graduated when Victor Casti was killed, and I was only a junior in the worms. Malfoy's death really had nothing to do with us."

Xueji shook his head. This chief superintendent wasn't even willing to leave himself a shred of dignity.

She took out a section of a black staff from an evidence bag and placed it on the table.

"It has been verified that Malfoy did indeed die from this stolen staff, and evil relics are extremely difficult to destroy."

"So after his death, a mysterious person with a mailing address in the Ninth Starport sent the staff to Esfri, and then a smuggler delivered it to the Bastard Fortress in the Fifty-Sixth Sector. However, the pirates did not take it away as agreed, but instead bought it from the Red Mansion, where it was taken over by a priest of the Church, and was eventually discovered by Miss Xia Du."

"And we found your biometric information on that package sent to Esfri."

"Is there anything else you'd like to say, Bryce?"

"I maintain my previous stance."

"Alright," Xueji's voice remained icy, "In that case, the deliberation of the Malfoy case ends here. The committee will submit its opinions to the Supreme Court of the United States, where he will conduct a formal hearing."

Everyone was shocked again. It was a Supreme Court judge personally presiding over the case, something that a regional judge like Avery couldn't compare to.

After all, that "praiser" had already been declared a saint!

"Next, we will examine the case of Ji Yungui's murder. Witness Officer Li Hualei will now come forward."

After saying that, Xue glanced at Luo Fu without making a sound. Logically speaking, this guy should leave the seat temporarily to avoid suspicion, but this woman shamelessly stayed there, her eyes looking just like a student who was daydreaming in class, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Hopefully, her daughter won't cause any more trouble like Yue Lai.

Love's inner thoughts:

"It would be best to have two babies, a boy and a girl... They can go to Taishan Academy next to the Imperial Parliament, which will make it easier for me to take care of them..."

Li also pretended not to see her own mother and nodded slightly to Xueji:

"Madam Judge, my written testimony includes a section on Ms. Wei Cheng. May I ask her to include it in her statement?"

"After all, she had a close relationship with Bryce."
