Ye Bai didn't know when he fell asleep, he only remembered that before he fell asleep, he never heard the sound of Huo Chengyuan returning to the bedroom.

The next morning, Ye Bai woke up to the sound of the pattering rain.He opened his eyes, the light in his field of vision was very dark, as if it was still dark, the sound of running water came from the direction of the bathroom, it seemed that Huo Chengyuan was taking a shower.

Ye Bai yawned a little, rubbed his eyes, flew out of the glass castle, and landed on the window sill.He opened the curtain and took a look outside, the sky outside was gloomy, the sky was falling with continuous rain, and the whole world was shrouded in misty mist.

The sound of water in the bathroom suddenly stopped, and after a while, Huo Chengyuan, with a towel wrapped around his waist, opened the door and came out.He wiped his dripping hair, and when he saw the little Flower Immortal on the window sill, his stern brows and eyes were softened.

"Good morning, Little Ye."

"Good morning, Ayuan ~"

Because Huo Chengyuan didn't wear clothes, Ye Bai was embarrassed and immediately moved up to him. After saying hello, he turned his head away and continued to look at the rainy scene outside.

Behind him came the sound of the closet being pulled open, and the rustling of clothes was drowned out by the sound of rain outside the window. A moment later, a hand wrapped around a silver chain hugged Ye Bai from the window sill.

"Why are you still so shy." Huo Chengyuan rubbed Little Flower Immortal's head funnyly, "You don't even look at me? Huh?"

Ye Bai pretended to be stupid, and blinked innocently: "The rain scene outside - it's more beautiful."

"You little liar." Huo Chengyuan scratched Little Flower Immortal's little face, and teased, "Yesterday you said that I was the most beautiful in the universe, and today you changed your mind?"

"Ayuan, you are notgood-looking, you are a good-looking-handsome man!"

Ye Bai smiled and joked with the other party, and he relaxed a lot: Huo Chengyuan seemed to be in a good mood this morning, did his work in the study go well last night?

It would be great if he could stay in such good shape until the court-martial.

The two talked "tired and crooked" for a while, Ye Bai also went to wash up, and then was taken to the restaurant by Huo Chengyuan.

When everyone sat down to have breakfast together, the rain outside became louder, even accompanied by thunder and lightning. Huo Mingxi glanced at the rain outside and asked Huo Chengyuan.

"Brother, are you going out today?"

Although Huo Chengyuan is currently suspended and does not need to be on duty, he will still go to the military headquarters every Tuesday morning. This rule is unshakable, not only Huo Mingxi knows it, but Ye Bai also knows it.

"Well, yes." Huo Chengyuan glanced out the window and shook his head indifferently, "This little rain is nothing, you don't have to worry, I will be back at noon at the latest."

After breakfast, Huo Chengyuan sent Little Flower Immortal to Ms. Colleen's class.He is used to watching quietly at the door for a while before leaving after class starts, and it is the same today.

It's just that after leaving today, Huo Chengyuan didn't go to the study on the second floor, but put on his coat, opened his umbrella, walked out of the Duke's mansion, and entered the star shuttle waiting outside.

An hour later, the star shuttle drove into the base building where the military headquarters was located.It didn't stop in front of the main entrance, but went around to the back of the base building, entered the underground parking lot through a secret entrance, and passed the vehicle lift in the parking lot to a secret base at the bottom of the building.

This underground base is the location of the core research department of the military. It is mainly engaged in research related to S-level mental power, covering a wide range of areas, from the potential development of mental power to the treatment of the wounded and so on.

Huo Chengyuan got off the star shuttle, went through a series of checkpoints and security checks, and came to the inner area of the research institute.There is a wide transit hall here. Different passages are distributed around the hall, each leading to different areas. From time to time, researchers in white coats come in and out of the passage, and many robots also move between the hall and the passage.

Sensing Huo Chengyuan's entry, a patrol robot immediately came in front of him. After scanning and identifying the information, the robot issued an electronic voice: "Hi, Major General Huo Chengyuan, researcher No. 33 is waiting for you in testing room A6, may I help you?"Do you lead the way?"

"No need." Huo Chengyuan said briefly, because he often went in and out of the research institute, he was already very familiar with the environment and area here.

Walking into a passage on the east side of the hall, Huo Chengyuan quickly arrived at No. A6 testing room. The No. 33 researcher was packing up the materials and instruments on the table. Seeing Huo Chengyuan coming in, he immediately got up and gave him a military salute.

"Mr. Major General, good morning."

"Good morning." Huo Chengyuan nodded at him, and glanced at the time, "Can we start now?"

"yes."

Without needing more explanation and guidance, Huo Chengyuan opened a small door in the corner of the room familiarly, and entered the observation compartment.This compartment is actually a kind of instrument, Huo Chengyuan sat on the chair in the middle, he took off the black leather gloves on his hands, and untied the silver chain wrapped around his wrists.

Because Huo Chengyuan didn't deliberately restrain the power, while Huo Chengyuan completely removed the silver chain, several values on the screen of the instrument connected outside the compartment soared rapidly, approaching the dangerous red line in an instant, but after Huo Chengyuan deliberately controlled them, these values dropped rapidlydown, back to normal.

"Well, the situation of power dissipation still hasn't improved," the researcher has opened the spreadsheet and started the data recording proficiently, "but the control is still good, and the overall risk is still controllable..."

While recording and evaluating, he would ask Huo Chengyuan a few questions from time to time.Huo Chengyuan had answered these questions countless times, but he didn't have any impatience, and answered them all cooperatively.

Huo Chengyuan has been a frequent visitor to this institute since he awakened his spiritual power at the age of 15.Not only because his mental power is very rare, but more importantly, his mental power is extremely lethal, and it is a dangerous ability that must be strictly controlled.

In fact, in the year when he first awakened his ability, Huo Chengyuan never left the research institute, because his mental power had a problem of overflowing, and he couldn't control his power well, releasing it would be like throwing biochemicals into the crowd.Weapons must be controlled.

Fortunately, this kind of house arrest lasted only one year. In the second year, Huo Chengyuan finally learned how to control his power precisely, and was able to regain his freedom.However, the problem of his mental power dissipation has not been solved. He must wear a special device to block his power every day, and he must go back to the research institute for inspections on a regular basis to ensure that his abilities are always under official monitoring, and there is no risk of distortion or loss of control..

Because Huo Chengyuan's performance has always been excellent, and his control over his mental power has become stronger and stronger, when he became an adult, the frequency of going back to the research institute for examination has dropped to once every six months, and later it became once a year.

Just when everyone thought that Huo Chengyuan's mental power was completely stable and there was no need to worry about its danger, the tragedy in Moston City suddenly happened.

Although there is no direct evidence that this matter is related to Huo Chengyuan, there is also no evidence that it must have nothing to do with him.

Huo Chengyuan's spiritual ability is "pollution", which can act on both spirit and matter - "spiritual pollution" is to interfere and exert pressure on other people mentally, and can directly defeat the other party's mental barrier if it is serious; "material pollution" isIt can transform mental power into a kind of proliferative biochemical weapon. They can corrode objects and spread into the air like viruses. As long as they are inhaled into the body, the "contaminated" creatures will die in a short time.This kind of spreadable "pollution" is extremely lethal, and it is absolutely possible for a city to die overnight.

So, everything is back to square one.

Huo Chengyuan was under the strict and high-frequency monitoring of the research institute. Until the first two months, the frequency of this review was reduced to once a week—because Huo Chengyuan's test data has always been normal, and although the problem of mental energy overflow has existed for a long time,Risk is always safe and manageable.

But Huo Chengyuan is very clear that the current calm is only temporary.

Once the court martial is held and it is determined that his mental power is the main cause of the tragedy in Moston City, all his current "normal" will become the most troublesome "abnormal"-a "normal" lunatic is far more important than a "normal" lunatic.The obvious lunatic is even more terrifying. His monitoring and control will be increased to the highest level. Maybe he will spend the rest of his life in the research institute.

The one-and-a-half-hour re-examination and testing ended quickly. Huo Chengyuan put on his gloves again, wrapped up the silver chain that sealed his mental power, and took a glance at the data file page handed over by the researcher.

everything is normal.

He signed his name on the record sheet, greeted the researcher, and prepared to leave.

But when he was about to open the door, the researcher behind him suddenly called out.

"Major General Huo Chengyuan!"

Huo Chengyuan stopped, looked back at the other party, the researcher opened his mouth, he seemed to be struggling a bit, and was very embarrassed, he hesitated and spoke incoherently for a long time.

"I heard... I heard that a new detection equipment was put into use. They re-examined the dead. It seems that they got... got new evidence... But, but I believe you! You don'tWill take the initiative to harm civilians, it's just...just an accident."

He obviously didn't dare to say any more, he lowered his head and continued to look at the documents in his hand, Huo Chengyuan stood there quietly for a moment, then nodded to the unfamiliar researcher.

"Thank you."

The corridor outside was long and empty, Huo Chengyuan walked along the corridor towards the exit, his face was expressionless, but his pace was slower than usual, and his heavy footsteps echoed throughout the corridor.

"Mr. Duke, please stay."

A voice suddenly appeared in the silent space, Huo Chengyuan turned his head without any surprise, and saw a man in military uniform coming out from a certain corner behind him.

The other party's military rank is only a major. In the highly hierarchical military headquarters, when he saw Huo Chengyuan, who was a major general, he wanted to salute, but the man not only did not salute, but also called Huo Chengyuan with hereditary noble titles.Not a friendly attitude - it seems to be insinuating Huo Chengyuan, he only obtained the position of general in the military by virtue of his hereditary noble status, and he is not worthy of being called a military rank that symbolizes honor at all.

"Mr. Duke, Marshal Qiu Cheng wants to see you. He has something very important to talk to you about."

The man didn't give Huo Chengyuan a chance to refuse, he turned sideways and made a gesture of leading the way.

"Please come with me."

*****

There was a bang, and there was a loud thunder from the sky, which scared Ye Bai who was operating the phone so much that he almost jumped up.

He looked at the heavy rain that was falling harder and harder outside the window, and then at the wall clock on the wall - it was already twelve o'clock at noon.

Why hasn't Huo Chengyuan come back yet?Ye Bai frowned slightly.Didn't he say that he would definitely be back before noon?

Hmm... Could it be that there was a temporary delay?Or it's raining too much outside, and you plan to return when the rain is lighter?

Although he was puzzled, Ye Bai didn't think too much, and refocused on the matter in front of him.

He continued to input sentences into the word reader on his mobile phone, and then clicked "read", and a mechanical reading sound came from the mobile phone——

"On the way to the palace, Huo Chengyuan met Duke Del on a narrow road..."

Uh, no, no, this content is not what he was looking for.

Ye Bai closed his eyes, and marked the explanation of the sentence just now in the book in his mind, then skipped to the next page, re-selected a paragraph, typed the sentence in this paragraph by hand, and continued to input it into the word readerinside.

——Yes, he is slowly "reading" the contents of the book in his mind through this stupid method.

In fact, Ye Bai didn't intend to read the book in his mind carefully. After all, he had already read the finale and knew that Huo Chengyuan would eventually ascend to the throne of God., Anyway, knowing that the ending is HE, it's over.

However, after he learned about the events in Moston City yesterday, he was so curious about the follow-up development of this matter that he wanted to read the spoiler. He especially wanted to know: what happened to Huo Chengyuan when the military court opened a month later?Can you win.

Ye Bai's heart is inclined towards Huo Chengyuan's victory. After all, this incident is too serious. It concerns the lives of nearly a million people. If this pot of dirty water is really put on Huo Chengyuan's head, he won't be able to stand up in the future——That's all there is to malicious suppression by those in power. If he loses the foundation of public opinion and becomes a sinner condemned by thousands of people, then Huo Chengyuan will kill the king and rebel in the future. Will there really be anyone who will support him?

So he has to win.

Must win too!

Ye Bai nodded secretly in his heart: Well, I just wanted to see how Huo Chengyuan came back against the wind. I'm really not worried that he won't win... Really not!

Ye Bai continued to read page by page, and finally, he heard what he was looking for——

[The much-anticipated "Moston City Massacre" finally officially opened today in the Supreme Military Court.】

Ye □□ was taken aback, he didn't rush to enter the following sentences, but first flipped through the content of this chapter, and couldn't help being startled: Why are there only three pages?

Because he has read a few chapters before, Ye Bai has also figured out a little bit of the story rhythm of the book in his mind: it does not divide chapters according to events, but takes scenes as units, and writes a chapter for each scene.Obviously, the main scene of this chapter is the trial process in the military court, but Ye Bai thought that there would be a lot of content in this chapter, because Huo Chengyuan made so many preparations in the early stage, he must fight back during the trial, and each other will come and go,The fierce confrontation lasted for 300 rounds, until the protagonist launched a Jedi counterattack, turned against the wind, and won the final victory with pride.

But it's only three pages... Can write that much?

Ye Bai frowned, silently staring at the densely packed words in the book in his mind, after a while, he turned to the end of the chapter, and slowly entered the last few lines into the word reader.

Before pressing the "Read" button, Ye Bai paused for a long time, but in the end, he still covered the touch screen button with his palm, and pressed it lightly.

The mechanical electronic sound immediately rang in Ye Bai's ears, mixed with the sound of thunder and rain outside the window——

"...Although he has made sufficient preparations in advance and imagined the worst possibility, Huo Chengyuan never expected that the military department would actually produce a key piece of evidence."

"This evidence directly obliterated all his previous efforts, and also left no room for maneuver in this case."

"The final result of the court-martial is that the tragedy in Moston City is directly related to Huo Chengyuan himself, and Huo Chengyuan is the first person responsible for causing the tragedy."

"Huo Chengyuan, guilty."
