You're sending max-level players to be cannon fodder?

Zhong Xun didn't hide anything and gave a brief account.

A mocking glint flashed in Xu Hengzhou's eyes. "You mean that the contaminated woman helped you take care of your child?"

He crossed his arms and leaned back, as if listening to a clumsy lie. "Young Master Zhong, please follow basic logic when making up stories."

Zhong Xun's expression remained unchanged: "It seems you haven't encountered enough emergencies since you were promoted to Level Two Adjudicator. Humanoid contaminants possess normal human genes, and there are instances where they are kind and compassionate."

"Bullshit!" Xu Hengzhou said coldly, enunciating each word clearly: "A pollutant is a pollutant. Don't try to blur the lines here."

Sun Chen couldn't help but say, "Old Xu, you..."

"I'm conducting an interrogation, don't interrupt me."

Sun Chen's face darkened. "I called for Cui Hua and Lao Liu to take a statement. What are you doing here?"

Xu Hengzhou said nonchalantly, "Old Liu has something to do, can't I step in for a small interrogation?"

"Are you deaf while I'm taking your statement?"

Xu Hengzhou scoffed coldly: "I think you guys are trying to go easy on us. You've completely wasted your time reading the Arbiter's Manual."

"Say that again?!"

Xu Hengzhou looked at Sun Chen and said, "What's there to be afraid to say?"

Caught in the middle, Cui Hua felt a throbbing vein on his forehead and wanted to cover his head.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

Sun Chen suppressed his anger: "Come in!"

He was an intern in the tribunal, carrying four glasses of water. He had heard the arguing from the doorway, and when he came in and found the atmosphere tense, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. "Judges, I'll bring you water."

Sun Chen gestured with his finger to indicate that he should hurry.

The intern first put down the cups for the three of them, and then placed the last cup, which looked like it contained fresh milk, in front of Zhong Xun.

Xu Hengzhou immediately noticed the difference and frowned: "What did you send him?"

"Oh, what's there to ask?" Sun Chen said speechlessly, waving his hand to signal the intern to leave. "The higher-ups haven't issued any arrest warrant for Zhong Xun. Ultimately, he broke through the B-level miasma to save the little girl. As the boss's Omega, it's normal for him to receive some preferential treatment, right? This isn't considered using connections."

Under Xu Hengzhou's watchful eye, Zhong Xun picked up the glass and took a sip.

Ugh, it tastes like milk mixed with half-cooked tea leaves, and it's bitter too. It's not good at all.

It's likely that Meng Jing wouldn't understand the word "milk tea." The people in the Tribunal usually only drink water or alcohol, and rarely come into contact with anything sweet like this. So, the kitchen staff simply brewed a cup based on the literal meaning of the name.

But Zhong Xun took another sip, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Xu Hengzhou said coldly, "Continue."

Zhong Xun: "Okay."

"I hope that before answering my question, Mr. Chung can first understand his place and distinguish between normal humans and pollutants."

"Is there a difference?" Zhong Xun asked softly. "Is your usual method of distinguishing humans simply whether they are contaminated?"

"certainly."

To everyone's surprise, Zhong Xun's smile faded: "Narrow-minded."

Xu Hengzhou: "...What did you say?"

"I believe that humanity is the only standard by which to distinguish whether someone is human."

All around was quiet, with dust floating along the beam of light.

"Of course, it's only a matter of time before the vast majority of people lose their minds after being contaminated." Zhong Xun crossed his legs, his hands naturally folded on his knees. "But is it possible that humans under mild contamination are still their own kind?"

Xu Hengzhou's gaze was gloomy. After a long while, he spoke: "Zhong Xun, based on what you just said, you should be sentenced."

Zhong Xun's gaze was calm: "Is that so?"

Xu Hengzhou didn't want an interrogation to turn into a so-called discussion on human issues, but Zhong Xun's performance did exceed expectations.

Xu Hengzhou stared at that beautiful, calm face, unable to find a trace of the person he used to be.

Many people in the tribunal were meeting Chung Xun for the first time, but he wasn't.

Long ago, during his vacation, he was caught in a downpour. He bought an umbrella at a convenience store and was about to browse the nearby shopping mall when he saw Zhong Xun hysterically yelling something at Meng Jingting in front of a coffee shop across the street.

The torrential rain made his voice as harsh as tires rubbing against the water. Xu Hengzhou had met many Omegas, but none of them were as shameless as Zhong Xun.

And the eldest brother, their only supreme judge in the tribunal, who stood firm against multiple questions in online meetings, faced life and death every day, and never even flinched when surrounded by raging fires, was someone everyone regarded as a goal and idol. Yet, he was exhausted by Zhong Xun, and showed a somewhat wounded expression in the pouring rain.

Xu Hengzhou felt a surge of disgust.

He didn't understand Meng Jingting's feelings for Zhong Xun. He just thought that any Omega you randomly grabbed from the street would be a million times better than Zhong Xun!

And now this selfish and despicable Omega has actually dared to enter the Tribunal!

His ability to break through that "miasma" was already highly suspicious, and Sun Chen and the others were simply protecting him unconditionally.

Suddenly, with the buff of his teammates being all idiots stacked up, Xu Hengzhou's pheromones went berserk.

Sun Chen was startled: "Hey, you..."

The originally mild flavor of bellflower seemed to suddenly sprout sharp thorns, ready to attack Zhong Xun in an instant.

The mental tentacles emerged on their own, snake-like, rising from the soles of Zhong Xun's feet and encircling him, maximizing their defensive capabilities.

The moment the spikes drew near, the mental tentacles surged forth, their dense, impenetrable wrapping unlike the cold, hard pheromone attacks of an Alpha, leaving the opponent with no room to maneuver.

The spikes were devoured and crushed, the first round of strangulation was over, and the tentacles retreated eagerly back to Zhong Xun's side.

The expressions of the other three people in the interrogation room changed drastically.

Zhong Xun tilted his head slightly. "Do you understand what happened back then now?"

"Damn it!" Sun Chen cursed inwardly. Xu Hengzhou was an A-level Alpha!

The trial ends.

Xu Hengzhou seemed not to have reacted yet, but Cui Hua had already joined in praising Sun Chen, "Not bad, Young Master Zhong, impressive!"

"So, do you think I'm good enough to join the support team?"

Cui Hua: "Of course, of course, wait... what did you say?"

Chung Hsun emphasized: "Support team, medics."

Sun Chen took a shallow breath: "It's like this, Zhong Xun. Having mental tentacles is definitely a plus, but providing mental guidance to mentally unstable adjudicators requires extremely strong control. Also, having a medic, especially one in the Adjudication Court, is very difficult to get!"

Zhong Xun replied sincerely, "The exam went well."

Sun Chen: "..." If I remember correctly, you didn't even get your university degree, bro.

Cui Hua tried to dissuade him, saying, "Many of the Arbiters don't cooperate with the mental tentacles. To put it bluntly, this is a form of mental invasion, and exposing your mental sea is extremely dangerous..."

Cui Hua didn't finish his sentence. Suddenly, as if his soul had left his body, he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

The mental tentacles diligently acted as a nurse. Zhong Xun was not mistaken. Cui Hua kept pressing his temples not only because he was being bothered by Xu Hengzhou and Sun Chen, but also because he had been on missions for half a month and his mental sea was in a volatile state. However, the Tribunal only had one Omega doctor with mental tentacles, and he was away on assignment. There were machine simulations available, but the waiting list was three months in advance!

Unlike the elaborate methods used when guiding Meng Jing, such as flirting and attraction, the mental tentacles mechanically picked up the two intertwined strands of mental energy, separated them in the right direction, and then placed them aside. Then, they would find a few more strands, separate them, and put them down, without leaking any pheromones.

Even so, Cui Hua's taut, throbbing scalp seemed to be stretched and relaxed, making her feel light and airy.

"Dr. Zhong, you have a miraculous cure!"

He slapped him awake as the mental tentacles withdrew.

Cui Hua was startled, then his eyes lit up as if he saw Hua Tuo reincarnated. He seemed to want to hug him but held back for some reason. Finally, he gave a thumbs up: "Okay! You write the report, I'll approve the notes."

"You criticize your father," Sun Chen sighed. "Is this something you should be concerned about?"
