"My god, T0 is always having court hearings every day."

"Is this guy coming again?"

Looking at the courtroom that stood before them with an even more oppressive presence, Fu Hei and Lu Ziyun's expressions instantly became several times more unpleasant than before.

Boom!

The resounding gavel, symbolizing the start of the retrial proceedings, echoed throughout the courtroom.

The trial against Lu Ziyun has begun once again.

"Is it true that Lu Ziyun allegedly murdered three sorcerers on the streets of Tokyo at 12:11 PM on November 11, 2018?"

Ri Che spoke slowly and deliberately, his gaze fixed intently on Lu Ziyun.

The air seemed to freeze; even Fu Hei, who was listening in, suddenly turned his head.

"When did you do that? It's only been a few hours since you last rotated through the cycle!"

A fleeting look of unease crossed Lu Ziyun's face, as if she'd been caught red-handed, but she quickly regained her composed expression.

"We bumped into each other on the road before Shi Liulong and I found you."

Fu Hei was about to be driven to his death by Lu Ziyun's anger.

Is this a concrete representation of the small head (fist) controlling the big head?

Currently, the time, location, and number of victims are clear and certain, and the evidence is conclusive.

Lu Ziyun seemed unable to deny it.

"Looks like that's the only option left!"

Fu Hei's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he made a decision in an instant.

Interlocking their fingers, they slowly clenched them into a fist in front of them, instantly forming a palm print to summon a shikigami.

With a faint fluctuation of magical power, the shadow beneath their feet began to move.

"Violence is forbidden in court!"

Riche keenly noticed Fuhei's unusual behavior and immediately shouted to stop him, attempting to suppress him using the rules of his domain.

"Summoning shikigami is not an act of violence. I did not make my shikigami perform any violent acts."

Fuhei raised his head and met Riche's wary gaze.

"As you saw, I only formed a hand seal; I didn't have my shikigami perform any actual, aggressive, or violent actions. Does that also violate the rules?"

Ri Che was speechless for a moment, and could only let the shadow under Fu Hei's face fluctuate, but he really couldn't see any change.

Click—

A crisp yet exceptionally clear sound of a wheel turning rang out, particularly jarring in the temporarily silent courtroom!

"What did you do?!"

Ri Che immediately became alert and questioned sharply, feeling as if the space in his domain trembled slightly.

"At least it wasn't a violent act."

Fu Hei maintained that eerie palm print, his smile growing ever deeper.

Without further hesitation, the Japanese car slammed its gavel down:

"Judge, pronounce the verdict directly based on the existing evidence against you!"

After a violent sway, the scales abruptly came to a stop. From their hollow opening once more, a resounding voice of judgment rang out:

"The chain of evidence for the charges is clear and the charges are pointed directly at the accused."

"Defendant Lu Ziyun 11, regarding the case of murdering three sorcerers on November 11, 2018."

"Defendant Lu Ziyun is guilty."

"Confiscate it!!!"

The announcement entered their minds.

"It's alright, Deer. He can only confiscate one ability or item from you in one trial. You have at least three chances to have it confiscated."

Fu Hei immediately whispered something to Lu Ziyun, whose face was ashen, in an attempt to calm the troops.

Multiple choice question: Under which of the following circumstances would Lu Ziyun lose to Riche?

A. Overwhelming with sheer strength

B. Lu Ziyun lost her cursed artifact

C. Lu Ziyun burned herself out as soon as she activated the Mythical Beast Amber.

The answer is obvious.

Fu Hei thought to himself, "The advantage is still with me."

Even if we take the Mythical Beast Amber, it's fine!

However, Nichisha smirked.

"When did I ever say that killing three people was a crime?"

"According to the Criminal Law, the crime of intentional homicide is committed against an individual victim. One individual constitutes an independent crime of intentional homicide."

"One person counts as one item!"

A cold glint flashed in Ri Che's eyes. He extended three fingers, pointed them at Lu Ziyun, and pronounced the verdict clearly and distinctly, word by word:

"Lu Ziyun, I will bring you to trial three times on charges of intentional homicide!"

"Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!"

"Confiscate! Confiscate! Confiscate!"

The [Judge] shikigami behind her simultaneously unleashed three blindingly pale beams of light, precisely locking onto Lu Ziyun!

Each one took away a piece from Lu Ziyun's body.

Electric baton.

Amber, a magical beast.

And the curse power that has accompanied Lu Ziyun for nearly a hundred years.

The deer is truly imprisoned now.

"You've taken everything from me, turning me back into an ordinary person?"

"I probably wouldn't be able to beat you with your spell-enhancing technique, Risha..."

"But those are the thoughts of a useless person!"

"Come on, even without my magical powers, I'll still fight you!"

Lao Lu continues to perform consistently!

"Execute him!"

Riche shouted, and the executioner's sword fell into Riche's hand. His body, enhanced by curse power, immediately emitted afterimages and stabbed towards Lu Ziyun, who had no curse power.

At the critical moment, Fu Hei's roar, like a thunderclap, exploded in the courtroom!

He roared with all his might at the sun chariot that was about to swing its sword:

"Hey, Judge."

"You haven't judged me yet."

The roar stopped the chariot's sudden thrust and pulled the three back to the confrontation between the defendant and the judge.

"You discovered it?"

The sun chariot slowly retracted the executioner's sword, but the killing intent remained; its cold gaze turned to Fu Hei.

"Fine. The outcome is the same anyway, so let's deal with it together."

The Japanese car retrieved the executioner's sword and picked up the indictment materials again.

Fu Hei is very confident in his ability to abide by laws and regulations.

In this playthrough, he hasn't intentionally killed anyone yet!

Even if Reggie was killed, it would be considered self-defense after Reggie made the first move, at most an excessive act of self-defense, and would not have much impact on Fukuro.

Therefore, no matter what charges Ri Che is charged with, he is confident in dealing with them, and at least he will not have his core abilities confiscated repeatedly like Lu Ziyun.

If only we could delay a little longer, until the wheel that adapts to all things starts turning again.

"The defendant, Fushiguro Megumi..."

The judge shikigami opened its massive maw once more and began to read out the accusations against Fushiguro.

The accusation had only been read halfway through when the shikigami, like a machine stuck in a rut, paused eerily for a full two seconds.

Immediately afterwards, under the watchful eyes of Fushiguro and Hitsugaya, both of whom sensed something was amiss.

The judge's shikigami, with its black body and white face, which should have been expressionless, suddenly became incredibly ferocious and distorted!

It's as if I'm witnessing some kind of blasphemous, heinous crime that would be condemned by both gods and men!

"The defendant is Fukuhiro Megumi!"

The judge's shikigami's voice suddenly rose, becoming sharp and piercing, filled with uncontrollable rage and hatred:

"The defendant, Fu Hei, has been in custody since October 31, 2018..."

"He is suspected of stealing Fuhesh's body and placing it under his control, thus committing the crime of stealing a corpse."

"He is suspected of harming the body of Fuheshel, causing damage, injury, and trampling, and has committed the crime of harming a corpse."

"He is suspected of insulting the body of Fuheshel, damaging his human dignity, and committing the crime of desecrating a corpse."

"Three serious charges, the evidence is irrefutable!!!"

"The defendant, Fukuhei Hui—"

"Do you have anything else to say?!"
