"Don't be so pessimistic. Only those who are alive have hope."

When the old man saw the Mora in Charlotte's hand, a strong light burst out in his eyes. He immediately took the money and kept saying thank you.

"Thank you, thank you, girl, you are such a good person!"

"There aren't many people as good as you in Fontaine nowadays!"

After some persuasion and comfort, Charlotte successfully sent the old man away, and then turned her attention to Luo Fan again. A trace of pain appeared in her eyes, but it soon turned into determination, and she contacted the security team...

Chapter 5 What did I do wrong?

In the Opicle Opera House, Luo Fan stood on the podium where the accused person was. The crime he was accused of was instigating innocent people to jump off the building. He was the real culprit of the recent serial jumping case in Fontaine.

At this time, sitting on the podium in front of Luo Fan was Charlotte, who had accused him this time. Luo Fan could see that Charlotte had a blank expression on her face, her eyes were staring blankly at the ground, not even focused, and she looked distraught.

Luo Fan's gaze stayed on Charlotte for a short while, and then he looked away.

On his left, higher up, stood a huge throne, and on the throne sat a petite, cute-looking girl with long light blue hair.

Luo Fan had never seen the water goddess Fininna, nor had he been to the Opikle Opera House, but he thought that there could be no one else except Fininna who could sit in that position.

At this time, Funina supported her chin with one hand, and looked at the wall in front of her with melancholy eyes, as if she was thinking about some serious problem.

This was the first time that Luo Fan met the water goddess Finina. He didn't know her personality, but from his current impression, she seemed to be a taciturn god who was not good at getting close to people.

At this time, Luo Fan turned his gaze to the position where the chief judge was sitting in the front. A white-haired man with outstanding temperament had appeared there. There was no expression on his face. He just sat there, giving off a sense of anger without any intention.

Although he had never seen him before, Luo Fan immediately recognized him as Navilette, the supreme judge of Fontaine.

At this time, the people of Fontaine who came to the Opiclay Opera House to watch the trial also appeared in the theater one by one, and some noisy sounds gradually appeared on the scene.

"Is that the suspect who induced innocent people to commit suicide by jumping off a building? He looks so young!"

"This is exactly what shows that his mind is twisted enough. I hope we can see a good [trial] this time."

"I think the real murderer must be someone else, and this boy is just a pawn... This is how it is played in many dramas, only in this way can the plot be tortuous and bizarre enough."

……

"Silence, silence!"

That Villette suddenly spoke. His voice was not loud but it could be clearly heard by everyone present. The heated discussions at the scene gradually died down.

When the scene was completely quiet, Villette spoke solemnly.

"Then the trial of the real culprit in the serial suicide case will begin now."

"First, in order to let everyone know what happened, please let Miss Charlotte describe what she saw before."

Charlotte's name was suddenly called, and she finally came to her senses. Feeling the gazes from all around, Charlotte recalled that she was now at the podium of the Oprykle Opera House, about to expose Lofan's twisted and terrible behavior to everyone present.

Charlotte took a last look at Luo Fan, whose face had no expression as if he had accepted the reality. She clenched her fists, then slowly loosened them, and whispered the whole process of Luo Fan committing the crime, which she had accidentally witnessed.

Because Charlotte is a journalist by profession, her description is very detailed and she can easily grasp the key points of the story. Through her narration, Luo Fan's image in the eyes of the audience gradually becomes a murderer who appears harmless on the surface but is actually twisted and crazy inside, which immediately causes exclamations from the audience.

"Quiet, everyone please obey the [Trial] order."

Villette spoke again, and any signs of chaos that had just begun were immediately extinguished.

Then, Charlotte finally described in detail what she had seen.

"Mr. Supreme Inquisitor, that's all I have to say."

When Charlotte uttered the last sentence, it was as if all her strength had been drained from her body. She could only hold on to the handrails of the platform with both hands to barely support herself and keep standing.

That Vilette nodded, then turned his gaze to Luo Fan and asked.

"Well, now, Mr. Luo Fan, do you accept the accusations made by Ms. Charlotte against you?"

Hearing Villette's question, Luo Fan's face suddenly showed the sunny and cheerful smile he had when he was with Charlotte, and then he spoke in an extremely innocent tone.

"As expected of Sister Charlotte, she was able to describe what happened in such detail. It's amazing!"

Hearing Luo Fan's words at this moment, Charlotte's heart seemed to be scarred again and became bloody. Her hands holding the handrails trembled slightly, and her head was kept lowered to look at the ground, not wanting anyone to see the expression on her face at this moment.

"Mr. Luo Fan, please answer my question."

That Villette spoke again, emanating a faint aura of pressure, which made Luo Fan feel as if he was being stared at by something terrible for a moment. However, with complete control over his body, Luo Fan was still able to remain calm.

"Of course, how could Sister Charlotte lie!"

As if it were a matter of course, Luo Fan accepted the accusations against his crimes.

As Luo Fan finished speaking, the two sides of the scale of the [Cardinal Oracle of Judgment], which symbolized absolute fairness and justice, tilted slightly to the left.

After seeing this scene, the smile on Luo Fan's face became even brighter.

"Okay, then let's move on to the next step."

"Mr. Luo Fan, please explain why you do this."

After hearing what Villette said, Luo Fan spoke in confusion.

"Reason, what reason?"

"Do you need a reason to kill a few bugs?"

As soon as Luo Fan said this, the whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone looked at the teenage boy on the high place with horror.

"He didn't think there was anything wrong with his behavior. What on earth does he think of human life?!"

"Execute him. Such a vicious criminal must not be let off easily!"

"If you forgive his crime, he will definitely commit crimes again after he leaves the cell!"

At this moment, Luo Fan suddenly turned around and glanced at the audience with contempt, then laughed and spoke.

"You say they are human?"

“Hahahaha, can a person who lives in the dark gray river, who can’t even afford to eat and can only hope for charity from others, still be considered a human being?!”

"No, they are just a bunch of bugs and beasts!"

"They committed suicide by jumping off the building completely on their own will. I did not force them at all."

"Life is so painful, and I gave them guidance to get rid of it sooner. Those bugs even thanked me. What did I do wrong?!"

After hearing Luo Fan's twisted remarks, Charlotte felt her heart grow even colder.

ps: I had my birthday yesterday, so I updated a little late. Thank you all for your enthusiastic support. This is the first time that my early data is so good. Thank you all.

Chapter VI Challenge Application

Luo Fan felt the anger of the audience, and the curve of his mouth became more obvious.

After Luo Fan discovered that he was getting more and more points after jumping off the building several times in a row, he began to think about the factors that would affect the points.

The first thing is the number of people who attracted attention. This can be felt from the fact that at the beginning Luo Fan just found a high place nearby to jump down. Later on, he would basically spend some time to come to Fontaine and find a crowded place to jump down.

The second point Luo Fan has not yet been clearly verified, but he guessed that it should be related to the emotional fluctuations of the person he is paying attention to. After all, the system suggests that he die heroically.

So it’s not that the method of being brave and righteous in the beginning is not feasible, but that too few people pay attention to it, so the points are so few.

In other words, if he wants to get more points, he has to ensure that enough people are paying attention to him and at the same time find a way to cause strong emotional fluctuations among them.

Thinking of this, Luo Fan once again ridiculed the audience below.

"An ant dares to look me in the eye?"

"quiet."

Navillatte's words made the scene gradually quiet down again. The audience looked at Luo Fan with angry eyes, while Luo Fan focused his attention on Navillatte.

Surprisingly, after hearing his remarks, the Supreme Judge showed no expression on his face. He must be terribly deep-minded, or maybe he lacks some human emotions.

"Well, let me summarize."

"Mr. Luo Fan thought that it was a more correct choice for those who died to end their lives early, so he used words to induce them to jump off the building and die."

"Is that so, Mr. Lofan?"

"Oh, that's right."

"As expected, the person who can become the Supreme Judge is different from these bugs. It seems that you can understand my behavior."

As Luo Fan spoke, the scale of [Cardinal Oracle Judgment] tilted slightly to the left again.

"That's enough. I think there's no need to continue this [trial]. I order the guards to immediately drag this man away and lock him up as a murderer until the day of the final trial!"

"I am angry, and I will personally carry out the final judgment!"

At this moment, even Finina couldn't stand it anymore. Her originally taciturn and aloof image was instantly destroyed. She didn't even say the cool words she liked to say in the past. She stood up from the throne directly, pointed at Luo Fan with one finger and spoke angrily.

"Ms. Funina, please abide by the [trial] order, otherwise I will convict you of [contempt of trial]."

Before Luo Fan could recover from the shock of the collapsed image of the God of Water, Villette had already warned Funina in a stern tone.

"But there's absolutely no need to continue questioning him. This person has already admitted that he did all those things, and he still refuses to repent and keeps spouting outrageous words... Ahhh, I'm so pissed. I know, I know. I'll just keep watching!"

In the end, Finina was defeated by Villette's increasingly stern gaze, and sat on the throne again with a depressed look on her face.

Is she really the water god?

Luo Fan suddenly began to question his own speculation...

"Next, please Mr. Luo Fan elaborate on the time you spent in contact with each victim, as well as the key words you used to induce them..."

This time, Navilet asked Luo Fan to explain his previous criminal experience in detail. Of course, he knew whether Luo Fan had committed a crime or not. This kind of thing could definitely not be explained clearly.

If Luo Fan chooses to refuse to explain the crime process, it will not be a good idea. The security team may investigate his activities in the past three days, and it will be obvious that the tracks will not match. After all, he was not in Fontaine when he jumped from the building the first three times, and there is no record of this body leaving Fontaine.

In other words, there is a good chance that Luo Fan will overturn the verdict, or at least be removed from the serial jumping case, but this is not what Luo Fan expected.

The more shocking his death is, the better!

So Luo Fan smiled and spoke to Villette.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Supreme Inquisitor, I can't remember."

"Just like you can't remember how many slices of bread you ate."

"Those lowly bugs are like insignificant dust in my memory."

"Of course, in order to not let everyone wait boredly for the final [trial] result, let's have something interesting next."

"I want to prove my innocence through a duel!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar again.

"Yes, his only chance to turn the tables now is a duel, otherwise he will definitely be executed!"

"Damn it! The duel agent must go all out. We must not let this devil go free and continue to go unpunished!"

Although the audience present were very depressed that they could not see Luo Fan being convicted immediately, they could not object to the duel being a rule of Fontaine. They could only hope that the duel agent could teach Luo Fan a profound lesson so that they could vent their anger.

After hearing Luo Fan's words, Charlotte's body stiffened for a moment, then she looked up in a daze and looked at Luo Fan, who had become extremely unfamiliar to her.

"Mr. Luo Fan, please confirm again whether you want to prove yourself by taking the challenge?"

Navilette spoke.

"I am sure, Mr. Supreme Inquisitor."

As Luo Fan spoke, he glanced at the audience with a provocative look, successfully arousing their negative emotions.

"Okay, Mr. Luo Fan's challenge application complies with the regulations and is approved. Now please invite Mr. Luo Fan and Miss Clorinde, the duel agent, to come to the stage."

"Claulinde, don't hold back, let that bastard learn a profound lesson!"

After hearing what Funina said, Clorinde took a deep breath.

"Yes, Lady Funina."

In fact, even without Funina's reminder, Clorinde had already developed a dislike for Luo Fan and it was impossible for her to show any mercy.

After seeing Clorinde leave Furninna, Luo Fan whispered the name twice, then turned and left without hesitation, and finally came to the stage under the supervision of the security team.

At this time, the scene gradually became quiet, and the audience stared with wide eyes at the fighting drama that was about to be staged on the stage. The fight between the prisoners and the dueling agents was rare, and these audiences naturally did not want to miss this rare challenge.

"You want to clear your name through this challenge?"

Clorinde watched Luo Fan's every move with sharp eyes and slowly drew out her sword.

"I will let you see how stupid and ridiculous your idea is!"
