Transform into a human

The people weren't fools; everyone naturally thought of "silencing them."

Austin was furious.

This tactic again! Completely disregarding evidence, they just relentlessly incite public sentiment!

He was now certain that Love had played a role in this incident, and that the death of the spectacled man was also inextricably linked to her!

No matter how Avery tries to explain himself now, the public will no longer believe him.

"Avery, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

The judge opened his mouth in vain. The web of conspiracies woven by the masterminds behind the scenes had been fully formed, and the Taiyang Group had even sacrificed itself to nail him to the gallows.

As for who did it, it's easy to guess, isn't it?

The only two entities that would dare to offend the central government faction are the other two!

Xueji calmly announced the result: "In that case, this hearing is now concluded. The committee's written report will be released within three working days, at which time the date of the formal trial will also be announced."

Austin's eyes were gloomy. Due to Yue Lai's unexpected complications, many of the Central Group's earlier preparations had not been put to use. After all, public opinion does not follow "reason," and political tacit understanding is of no use in the face of a frenzy. He now had to think about how the Central Group should make up for the damage to the police headquarters.

Even if they are unable to pursue the Siren God's authority in the short term, in the long run, the Police Hub will definitely face a three-way war. What we are seeing now is just a rehearsal before the Sea King's Crown is officially freed.

Only when true history has been completely erased and falsehood has become reality will the struggle for the Siren's divine right be brought into the open.

As for why the Central faction tried to release the Neptune's Crown ahead of time... that Grand Preceptor was one of the top extraordinary talents. If he were to conceal a piece of history involving the final life of a god, he could probably achieve a huge leap in his career and might even become the first person to elevate the path of extraordinary talents to the divine level.

This is unacceptable to the other two departments.

Austin glanced one last time at Avery, who was sitting there in a daze. In a sense, this Supreme Court Justice was the price they had to pay to test the Grand Tutor.

Accepting the consequences of a bet is also one of the political rules of the federal government.

He turned and left the conference room.

Love went to the window. On the playground, the students of the National University moved about, casting long shadows. The arc drawn by the mechanical ball was still tinged with the afterglow of the setting sun.

This soccer ball is subject to some "regular randomness" during its flight, requiring students to use both physical strength and mental effort, employing their own chain crystal runes to calculate the ball's trajectory—a sport that is only popular in universities.

But in Love's view, the future trajectory of the mechanical ball was so clearly visible that the "lines" of the players and the ball on the field were intertwined, and only through manipulation could they be woven into a picture that could be appreciated.

If the threads revealed through meticulous analysis represent the present, then what Love sees is the future.

One of the Thirty-Six Extraordinary Heroes, the Embroiderer.

As dusk deepened, the colors shifted from orange-red to a rich, deep grape purple, gradually swallowing the running silhouettes into a gray-blue hue. Finally, only a few streetlights suddenly opened their eyes, as if gently drawing a line under this long race.

Love turned around, and the previously lively conference room was now empty except for the two of them: her and Wales.

Li awkwardly walked up to Luo Fu; it had been a long time since she had spent time alone with her mother.

"Why are you here?"

"What, can't you even show some concern for your precious daughter?"

"Don't give me that!" The last ray of sunlight shone on something, its reflection extremely glaring. Li turned her head slightly. "One of the pieces of evidence in the indictment of Bryce was biological tissue from a blood pigeon found in Starport... You have henchmen in the police headquarters?"

"Little Li has grown up, but you can't say that about your Uncle Qingyan."

"Superintendent Qingyan?!" Li opened his mouth wide, suddenly remembering that Yue Lai had encountered Qingyan when he kidnapped him to escape. Logically speaking, Qingyan, who was very perceptive, should have been able to catch Yue Lai, but the other party chose to ignore him.

wrong!

If Qingyan really was her mother's person, wouldn't her first reaction be to save her? How could she let Yue Lai take her and escape?

unless……

Li suddenly turned to look at Luo Fu: "You knew all along?!"

Love smiled enigmatically, waved her hand gently, and the conference room, converted from a lecture hall, transformed into a world like a painting. The tables and chairs looked as if they had been embroidered stitch by stitch by the most skilled embroiderers, and even the light shining in from the windows turned into a tactile veil.

"The police chief is really uncomfortable. Only on nights when his heart is not touched can he have some private conversations with his daughter."

Love pulled out an exquisite cipherboard, from which came the sound of a heart pounding.

The Path to Enlightenment, Level Two Encryption.

"How was the trip? Are you satisfied with it?"

The moment Li saw the cipherboard, she realized with a start that her ritual was already complete! A connection was easily established between the cipherboard and herself, without the slightest hindrance. If she wished, she could immediately advance to the rank of ritual master.

Li was stunned.

Love was very pleased with her daughter's reaction to the "surprise" she had prepared, and happily said:

"The second level of the Innocent Child's Ritual is to experience two extreme emotions during a deeply memorable journey. It seems Yue Lai has been quite good to you."

"Two extremes..."

Li took a deep breath:

"Was Grandpa Ji's death also part of your plan?"

"Embroiderer" was the name given to this extraordinary skill by the ancient empire, stemming from its almost rigorous requirement for "meticulousness." It was often only women with delicate minds who could learn it, so it also had another name in the Fifth Republic—"Weaving Lady."

In the lake of fate, Yue Lai was not the only one who entered by relying on the black and white killing scheme; there were already more skilled swimmers who had entered it long ago!

"Ji Yungui is an old acquaintance of mine, how could I possibly do such a thing?"

"His line is only so long, all I can do is make good use of it before it reaches its end."

"So...you originally had a chance to save him."

Luo Fu sighed softly. She had long anticipated being questioned by her daughter, but the second-level ritual for the innocent child required the capable to feel the excruciating pain of humanity. Ji Yungui, who was supposed to die in the initial script, was already the best choice.

Senator Warren, accustomed to assertiveness, did not choose to beat around the bush, but instead stated directly:

"I have no obligation to save him."

Li curled the corners of her lips: "What about Yue Lai? Was he also dragged into this by you?"

"Yes."

Paving the way for her daughter was merely the least significant purpose behind this whole charade. The true impact of this hearing lies below the surface, yet even so, the portion of the iceberg that has surfaced is already astonishing.

Love disdained to lie to her own child, and if Li guessed correctly, she would certainly tell the truth:

"According to the original fate, Yue Lai and you would not have crossed paths. Your supervisor would not have sent a newly graduated police officer to Esfri to carry out a mission. It was I who gave birth to the idea of ​​'training new recruits'."

"And what is your purpose, Ms. Hua Leisi? Are you going to tell me that you were also behind the tragedy at Taiyang Group?"
