It was June 22nd on Wednesday in the ninth week of the semester.
Later, this day would be recorded in the annals of history.
Because it happened to be the day the old devil would be put on trial.
The old devil had been arrested at a military base on the outskirts of Songhai city, along with the Master of Shadow Stream, Jiang Liuyue, who had been trapped in the stone ghost mask at the time.
The plan to capture the old devil had been discussed beforehand, so in the end, the old devil was directly sent to Songhai First Prison to be interrogated on the spot.
In fact, since the day the old devil had been arrested, online news and public opinion had already been flooded with comments online. Any news about the old devil would have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of comments. This was enough to show the old devil's social influence … this was a figure who had struck fear and awe into the hearts of the entire Huaxiu nation back then. Dubbed Devil Emperor Gua Pi, he had been known as the leader of the biggest evil force back then.
Wang Ling had always felt that if there was a prize for the biggest dark force, the Gua Pi Army which the old devil had led back then would definitely be second to none.
…
…
At six o 'clock in the morning, in the interrogation room of Songhai First Prison, the old devil was still in Jiang Liuyue's body as it sat obediently in a wooden chair. It was still wearing the Spirit Shackles as it faced Warden Liang, General Yi, Secretary Dakang and a group of senior prison officers.
Eight people were sitting in a row in front of the old devil, and next to them was a live broadcast camera.
In order to show how much importance the government attached to this matter, and at the same time to respond to some rumors and rumors online, General Yi's interrogation this time was open and transparent, and was directly being broadcasted live.
"Is everything ready?" General Yi tilted his head and asked a staff member next to him.
"Everything is ready, General Yi. We'll start directly when the live broadcast host cuts in and the camera turns green."
The staff member bent over and pointed at the camera in front of him as he replied softly, "The host just did a warm-up before the live broadcast. Currently, it's ranked first in TV ratings, and in less than five minutes since the live broadcast started, there are already more than twenty million people watching the live broadcast online … Based on this trend, it's estimated that when the interrogation starts, it'll break one hundred million."
Hearing this, General Yi's eyes abruptly dimmed a little. He hadn't expected this devil to still be so influential after so many years.
"What is General Yi thinking about?" asked the staff member when he saw General Yi's somewhat profound gaze.
"It's fine …" General Yi scratched his head. "It's just that the higher-ups told me that it'd be best if the viewership for this live broadcast of the trial didn't exceed that of the Spring Festival Gala. That's why the situation is a little awkward. "
The staff: "… Then, should we begin?"
General Yi looked at the old devil and took a deep breath. "Let's rehearse first."
The staff: "…"
…
…
Five minutes later, the Old Devil faced the camera. As soon as the staff member said "Begin," the Old Devil cooperatively lowered his head and started to repent.
"I was wrong, I was really wrong. I shouldn't have barged into the National Palace because of some personal issues. The destruction of people's property and life safety has a very bad impact on society … "
General Yi: "Then what about the previous delivery men?"
The Old Devil: "My venerable self is very sorry about the Riceball Delivery incident … But my venerable self has kept the souls of those deliverymen. Those deliverymen whose souls dissipated under the sun in the news have actually been kept in the small world of my Purple Gold Gourd."
General Yi nodded and glanced at the question on the paper, then asked, "Can you briefly explain to the public what happened before and after you were arrested?"
"Before the battle, I wanted to infiltrate the small world to absorb the vitality of those children and activate the Body Rotation Array to revive myself. But unfortunately, the plan failed. After that, I was locked down by the Five Elements Great Array and couldn't escape. "
The Old Devil raised his head and stared at the camera. "In the end, I lost to General Yi's Palm Heart Sword …"
General Yi held up four fingers. "Do you know … what you did can only be described with four words!"
Everyone around him: "Outrageous!"
General Yi: "Four more words!"
Everyone around him: "You're insane!"
The Old Devil: "…"
"Now that we have concrete evidence of your crime, we'll follow the procedure and send you to the Supreme Court. Do you have anything else to say?"
As soon as General Yi finished speaking, a staff member on the side suddenly called for a halt.
General Yi frowned. "What's going on, what's the problem?"
A female screenwriter came up to General Yi and whispered in his ear with a slightly embarrassed expression, "There's nothing wrong with the basic procedure. But there's something wrong with the way you express your emotions. "
After that, the female screenwriter looked at the Old Devil and said, "Starting with the line 'my venerable self was wrong' … Mr Devil Emperor should look a little more downcast; it would be best if you could express the grief of a broken family and broken up family."
The Old Devil: "…"
The female screenwriter: "Although it sounds a little difficult, it would be best if Mr Devil Emperor could squeeze out a few tears. That would be better. "
The Old Devil: "…"
The female screenwriter lowered her head and looked at the script in her hand. "There's one more thing: I hope Mr Devil Emperor can describe in detail how General Yi used the Palm Heart Sword. The script has already been written, so Mr Devil Emperor can take a good look at it later and memorize it in two or three minutes. During the narration, you have to show fear of the Palm Heart Sword. "
The Old Devil: "…"
General Yi: "…"
After hearing the female screenwriter's words, even Secretary Dakang was shocked. "… Is that necessary?"
"During General Yi's rehearsal, the higher-ups were also watching, and they unanimously agreed that this part needed to be strengthened. On one hand, it would reflect General Yi's strength, and on the other hand, it would bring about positive energy in society and set an example for the vast number of cultivation students who are still learning, "the female screenwriter replied.
General Yi: "…"
"There's another matter that requires General Yi and Secretary Dakang to make a decision together," the female screenwriter said.
"What is it?"
"While the host was on the field just now, the CEO of Cultivation Hardware and Concealed Weapons Technology, Evil Monarch Jun Xie, Sect Leader Ai of the Five Elements Sect, and Sect Leader Xu of the Exploding Sky Sect all sent congratulatory messages in the bullet screen …"
Secretary Dakang raised his eyebrows. "Isn't that a good thing? They're all celebrities in the cultivation circle; it's very meaningful for them to spread positive energy in society! "
"The problem is that after Sect Leader Xu of Exploding Sky Sect sent his congratulatory bullet messages, he sent three thousand yachts. After that, Sect Leader Ai of Five Elements Sect didn't want to be outdone and sent three thousand and one yachts in return. After that, Lord Jun Xie also followed suit … In just three minutes, the number of yachts exceeded ten thousand. The host would like to ask, should we express our congratulations? "the female screenwriter asked.
