The Game of Global Mining

Chapter 592 - 441: Lighthouse Alert, Court Verdict

Although Chun also knew that the Ten Lords would definitely pin the crime of colluding with pirates on him, he didn’t expect to actually go to a court trial? Speaking of which, since the game started, it’s the first time he’s been in court! This feeling, there’s still a bit of anticipation, isn’t there?

So Chun was hooded and plunged into darkness as he was pushed out of the room.

Aileen asked, "Darling, should we turn on the radar?"

Chun said, "No need, at this point, we shouldn’t make any move!"

After all, while escorting me, the Ten Lords must be monitoring me with high-tech surveillance. If some divine artifact detects radar waves, that would expose one of my cards. Besides, I’m already out-of-body and know the location of this place.

Then, after a tortuous journey, it seemed he was pushed onto a mechanical vehicle. Amidst the rumbling engine noise, the hustle and bustle of the streets was inaudible.

Just then, Mei sent a message, "There’s a response from the beacon!"

As expected, a red dot appeared on the periphery of Chun’s pitch-black view! It was like the effect of Aileen turning on the radar.

It turned out the beacon’s perception is this advanced!

Chun was nervous, "Is it strong?"

Mei said, "Can’t determine! The beacon shows the same curse power on the opponent."

Then let’s assume it’s strong!

Chun asked, "So how is the opponent going to deal with me? Kill me on the street?"

Aileen said, "That’s a possibility. If you are killed, your soul might not appear at the revival point right away, but could be intercepted midway by the opponent! However, in soul-level combat, we have the Divine Domain on our side, and we won’t let them succeed easily."

Exactly! Back when fighting the demonized bat with Aileen for the first time, I actually died, but my soul was still intercepted by Aileen and rushed into the demonized bat’s body to take over!

But this is the scene of the Ten Lords, so if I get attacked, wouldn’t the Ten Lords mistake it for a rescue raid? They might jump in as well?

Chun was on high alert, and the red dot always maintained a certain distance, clearly able to keep up with the speed of the mechanical vehicle, so it must be a powerful adversary!

Finally, the vehicle stopped, Chun was pushed out, and pushed all the way again.

Then there was a strike of a gavel, and a dignified voice echoed, "Bring in the suspect, number 0016, Chun!"

Only then was Chun’s hood removed, and he was escorted by two mechanical golems into an imposing courtroom.

The NPCs below filled the courtroom with righteous indignation, "Trial! Trial!!"

The judge struck the gavel again, "Silence! Testimony from victim number 1."

An NPC, whose entire face was wrapped in bandages looking nothing like a normal person, said, "My name is Lapisi. The Pirate King’s men wanted me to be an insider to rescue Chun. I refused, and they beat me up! I was beaten so badly~~~"

The audience was once again furious, "Trial! Trial!!"

Holy shit! While Chun also knew the Ten Lords would certainly have the ability to coerce NPCs into giving false testimony, this was just too crude, wasn’t it?

The judge struck the gavel again, "Silence! Testimony from victim number 2."

"My name is Mauripa. The Pirate King’s men wanted me to throw a bomb into the prison to rescue Chun. I refused! So they chased me down!"

"Trial! Trial!!"

Holy shit, holy shit!!

"Silence! Testimony from victim number 3..."

"It’s him! I saw him colluding with pirates in Black Iron City!"

...

At this time, even Metatron rarely left the laboratory and personally came to the second-floor noble observers’ seat of the courtroom to live stream the trial for the chat group. Of course, the more important purpose was to prevent real pirates from taking advantage of the distraction caused by this fake pirate to rescue Chun, which is why he used the Eye of Omniscience for full alert along the way.

After all, even though the testimonies were fabricated, it was indeed true that Chun colluded with pirates.

The chat group was now laughing uproariously!

Gabriel couldn’t stop laughing, "Metatron, could your testimonies be a little more logical?"

Metatron was indifferent, "Anyway, I’m just a mechanical man, no need to focus my energy on these things."

The butler came to report, "Ladies and gentlemen, unexpected situation, monitoring points at Gem City Teleportation Array and Bronze City Teleportation Array found a suspicious person, characteristics resemble an old man in a black robe, but actually female!"

Two video clips were shown, a woman in a black robe appeared at Bronze City from Gem City’s Teleportation Array!

Metatron immediately went on high alert, "I’m deploying the Eye of Omniscience!"

Raphael was astonished, "Butler, what characteristics are suspect?"

The butler said, "The Silver Tavern witnessed Captain Pulan bringing that old man in the black robe into the underground casino, although there was no surveillance at the time, the old man’s walking stride left a deep impression on the tavern owner; it was a very graceful model’s catwalk stride! And that old man in the black robe is a mage, so he is of course related to Gem City. Just these two points can determine a suspicion!"

Raphael understood, "So the implication is that the old man in the black robe is either a female in disguise, or is part of the same organization as this woman in the black robe?"

Sariel gave a small cough, "I think the old man in the black robe might not be a woman disguised!"

Raphael was surprised, "Why do you think so?"

Sariel laughed, "Gem City is your bespoke piece! Of course, your graceful style would influence the city’s NPCs, and that’s how an NPC with a catwalk was born!"

The group erupted in laughter, "Makes sense!"

Raphael suddenly froze, ignored the group’s teasing and fell into deep thought.

Metatron said seriously, "The Eye of Omniscience has located her right at the street corner outside the court! I checked the surveillance replay, she has been following the escort vehicle since leaving the Teleportation Array, so suspicious, she’s definitely here to rescue Chun!"

The group was shocked, "How’s her power?"

Metatron was a bit flustered, "Can’t determine! I have no confidence!"

Michael said gravely, "Raphael, Gabriel, Sariel, quickly head over to provide support, if she makes any suspicious move, take her out with a concentrated divine artifact attack!"

Raphael sighed, "Understood! Although I’m a bit reluctant to kill!"

Sariel was excited, "Understood! Finally, I can avenge Silver City! But is there any need to wait for her to make suspicious moves? Just gather and kill already!"

Michael sighed, "We should wait for her to act first, let her trigger a red name?"

Sariel laughed, "We have privileges, we don’t care!"

Gabriel laughed, "Four of us gathering in one city, would global players have any thoughts?"

Sariel laughed, "It will make a headline on social media trending!"

...

Courtroom scene.

It was now victim number 20. Chun was so hungry that he was dizzy and couldn’t quite hear what he was saying, but Chun’s beacon was flashing, the opponent was right outside the courtroom! Feels like if I step outside, it’s going to start? Can I withstand it?

The judge struck the gavel down, "Number 0016, the judgment is as follows..."

——Bronze Vanguard City announcement: Player Chun convicted of colluding with pirates, conspiring to sabotage Bronze Vanguard City, and contempt of court, reputation decreased by 200,000! 1-year in-game prison sentence!

——World announcement: Player Chun convicted of colluding with pirates...
