Am I going to be controlled by the players too?

The group groaned and collapsed onto the tracks, their faces deathly pale, their bodies enveloped in deathly energy, and they lost all ability to move!

Kong Wenbin gritted his teeth, repeatedly praying to the Confucian sage to bestow blessings upon his teammates. Golden light flashed wildly, attempting to dispel the deathly aura—

"It's no use..." Lying on the tracks, sparks flying from its body, its mechanical eye dimmed considerably, but it still laughed. "This is my power and rule; you are doomed..."

"As long as I live... the death curse will not stop..."

"Three minutes...you have three minutes left..."

Yang Chen struggled to his feet, using his giant axe to brace himself against the ground, and coughed up a mouthful of blood:

"I...I can still fight..."

"Don't move," Kong Wenbin's voice was weak. "If you move again, you'll really die."

"What can we do?" Tie Dan lay on the railway tracks, his voice trembling with tears. "I haven't saved enough money to buy a house, I haven't gotten married, I haven't had two big, healthy sons, I don't have a wife, kids, or a warm bed..."

"Typical manual labor thinking..." Li Xianyu used the last of her strength to complain.

Kong Wenbin closed his eyes, his lips trembling, it was unclear whether he was reciting the words of a sage or praying.

Luo's white light grew weaker and weaker; his face was ashen, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"I...can't hold on any longer..."

Paul knelt beside Cheng Cheng, his golden aura dimmed to almost nothing, his eyes filled with determination:

"Young Miss... I'll self-destruct in a bit, maybe that will kill it... Please stay away from me..."

"No need," Cheng Cheng shook his head. "I will take action."

"what?"

Cheng Cheng lay on the railway tracks, deathly aura spreading to his abdomen, yet he still smiled: "From the moment it used this trick on me, it was already doomed."

Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, including the demon, Cheng Cheng raised his right hand and shouted with all his might—

"Court review—initiated!"

An invisible realm spread out from him!

The surrounding scenery began to distort—the railway tracks and the sea of ​​clouds disappeared, replaced by a huge courtroom!

Lapis lazuli floor, towering stone pillars, a dimly lit dome, and at the very top, a judge's chair shrouded in shadow.

In the plaintiff's seat stood Cheng Cheng, while everyone else was in the witness stand, bewildered; in the defendant's seat lay the smoke-filled, crashed demon.

And the judge's chair—

Empty.

The crashed demon struggled to its feet, its mechanical single eye flashing wildly:

"A spark power I've never seen before... Impossible... Who are you!"

Cheng Cheng didn't answer it, but instead looked up at the empty judge's chair, and then spoke:

"Your Honor."

The shadows gathered, and a blurry figure appeared on the judge's bench.

"I accuse—"

Cheng Cheng raised his hand and pointed at the plane crash victim in the defendant's dock:

"The defendant committed murder."

The air was quiet for a second.

The judge's illusory figure slowly turned its head, revealing a face identical to Sylvia's, raised its gavel, and a slight smile appeared on its lips:

"The prosecution is valid; the defendant, the demon of the plane crash, is sentenced—"

"death penalty!"

Chapter 31, The Author of Extreme Tiger Writes Extreme Tiger Novels and Lives Extreme Tiger Life

As the judge pronounced the death sentence, the space above the defendant's dock began to distort.

The darkness writhed, coalesced, and piled up like a living thing—a colossal guillotine slowly descended from the void.

The blade angled downwards, its edges gleaming with a cold light. The back of the blade was engraved with dense runes, each of which was slowly burning. Two pillars were entwined with ferocious beast heads, each holding an iron chain in its mouth, the other end of which was tied to the sides of the blade.

It hovered above the demon's head, casting a shadow that completely enveloped the five-meter-tall mechanical body.

"Prepare to turn around in five meters!"

With a cheer from Cheng Cheng, the crashed demon's single eye flashed wildly, and its mechanical body struggled violently, trying to escape the dock, but the power of the fire seed held it firmly in place, unable to move.

"No! Wait, you can't—"

"Snap—!!!"

The chains loosened, and the heavy blade, carrying immense kinetic energy, fell instantly with a crisp sound, and the mechanical head fell to the ground!

"Boom!"

The head slammed onto the floor of the dock, rolling a considerable distance. The body of the crashed monster came to a complete stop; the still-twitching parts froze simultaneously, and then—

"boom--!!!"

It exploded.

Mechanical debris and black blood rained down, covering the courtroom floor in a thick layer. In the center of the wreckage, a metal core burning with orange flames lay silently.

The guillotine slowly rose and disappeared into the darkness.

"Experience +10000"

Level Up: 20 → 22

Combat Power: 2700 → 2900

The crashed demon was successfully defeated, and Sylvia gained so much experience that she leveled up twice on the spot, and was only a little experience away from level 23!

Cheng Cheng plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.

Unlike other sparks, the Injustice Spark's abilities can only be used after reaching a certain level of injury, and it consumes magic and physical strength depending on the content of the trial—in order to complete the death sentence trial of the crashed demon, Cheng Cheng almost exhausted all of Sylvia's strength, nearly hollowing out her body.

In addition, the cooldown time is extremely long, so it cannot be used again at least today.

The shadowy image of the courtroom began to dissipate; the lapis lazuli floor, the towering stone pillars, the dim dome, and the judge's chair all faded away like melting snow.

The railway tracks reappeared beneath our feet.

The sea of ​​clouds was still churning, the strong winds were still howling, and everything was exactly the same as it had been a few minutes ago.

But everyone looked at Cheng Cheng differently now.

Kong Wenbin and Luo Ao quickly cast a blessing, and a white healing aura enveloped everyone, causing the lingering death energy of their teammates to slowly dissipate. After all this was done, a full five minutes passed before everyone regained their mobility.

Yang Chen stood up, stretched his shoulders, and his bones cracked.

"Great! I thought I was going to die here today!"

"Thanks to this older sister." Li Xianyu put away her staff, and the petite elf girl crawled over, hugged Cheng Cheng's leg, and then buried herself deeply in his arms: "My life was saved by you, older sister. From now on, you are my dear older sister! Older sister, older sister, older sister!"

"I have to say, Fairy Fish, you're an elf! How dare you call a teenage girl 'sister'? Don't you even know how old you are?"

Tie Dan's吐槽 (tu cao, a form of online commentary or criticism) was stopped by Li Xianyu's fierce glare. Kong Wenbin walked over, grabbed Li Xianyu by the collar, lifted him up, and then bowed deeply to Cheng Cheng:

"Miss, thanks to your help, otherwise we would all be dead."

"Everyone deserves credit as well," Cheng Cheng said modestly.

Kong Wenbin smiled and shook his head.

If he can't even see the situation, he's wasted his life.

A silver-rank lady possesses at least two flames, and a gold-rank powerhouse listens to her every word—can she be an ordinary person?

It's important to know that in most cities, even the city lord is only at the Silver rank, while in some small countries, the Gold rank is enough to be a king!

For such a powerful figure to be willing to act as a bodyguard, this young lady must either be backed by one of the kingdom's top nobles or a legend!

I wonder if she is a young lady from the Claire family or the heir of the Sword Saint family?

The rewards of pleasing this lady are probably greater than the gains from painstakingly conquering dungeons!

"I am deeply grateful and will not thank you enough. I will do my best to serve you if you need me in the future." Kong Wenbin said, taking out the elbow strike tinder he had brought earlier. "In this battle, Miss and Paul made the greatest contribution. The tinder should rightfully belong to you. Use it as soon as possible, as it will be beneficial for the exploration later."

Everyone else nodded, having no objection to Kong Wenbin's allocation plan.

Cheng Cheng picked up the flare from the crashed plane, put it into his system inventory, and clicked "equip." A new notification then appeared:

"Obtain the Spark: Plane Crash"

"Fire Seed - Crash: After deploying the domain, all flight and hovering will be prohibited. Active activation will inflict a 'Curse of Death' on all targets within the area at the cost of severe injury to the user. Without high-level antidote magic, they will die within three minutes as death energy enters their bodies."

After thinking for a moment, Cheng Cheng took the torch from the elbow strike demon and threw it to Paul.

Paul caught the spark and was completely stunned: "Miss, this is far too precious..."

“I’ve seen your contributions and loyalty,” Cheng Cheng said. “Take it if you want. After you’ve integrated it, you’ll be able to hold out longer in the next fight.”

Paul took a deep breath, nodded emphatically, and carefully tucked the fire into his pocket.

Kong Wenbin watched this scene, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said, "The fire seeds have been distributed. Let's distribute the remaining source stones as well."

Besides being used as a tool for Cheng Cheng to draw cards, Originium seems to have other uses in this world, serving as a material for magic arrays and items, and its price is extremely high.

Cheng Cheng received three coins, and after the others were distributed, everyone struggled to stand up and stretch their aching limbs.

Three minutes later, a metallic roar came from afar.

A brand-new roller coaster sped along the track, its body painted bright red, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.

This time, there's no basketball.

"Jump!" Kong Wenbin shouted.

Everyone jumped up at the same time and landed in the last carriage.

The roller coaster roared into the sea of ​​clouds, and the surrounding scenery began to distort and blur, mixing together like melted paint—

Then, suddenly it became clear.
