"Amam …"
While Xu Shenxing was still marveling at the rare sight, Mo Li's cheeks were puffed up as if he was eating something.
"Mo Li?" Xu Shenxing could not help but sigh. "Spit it out. Don't eat anything!"
Mo Li stared at Xu Shenxing for a few seconds like a groundhog before spitting something on the ground. The little girl then stuck out her tongue and said with a strange expression, "Mr. Landlord, it tastes like a goblin. It doesn't taste good …"
Xu Shenxing was speechless. He then turned his gaze to the thing that Mo Li almost ate.
It was a palm-sized creature with a green body and a pair of dragonfly wing-like organs on its back. At first glance, it looked a bit like a fairy from a fairy tale.
But its head completely destroyed this beautiful impression. It was a potato that was rough and full of wrinkles and roots like a Mandrake from the Demonic Realm. At the top of its head where the hair should be, there was a green bud the size of half a pinky finger. It looked quite funny.
If one looked closely, they would find that the potato, or rather the creature's head had human-like facial features. Ignoring the two holes in its ears, the creature's face was full of wrinkles and looked like an old man, the kind that was ugly when he was young.
It wiped the saliva off its body and looked dizzy. It seemed that it had not recovered from the aftermath of the surprise attack just now.
No wonder Mo Li would treat this guy as food. From the looks of its head, it was not much different from the roots of a Mandrake … Xu Shenxing had eaten that thing before. Although its original effect of accelerating mana recovery was not useful to him, it tasted good and was much better than the average potato …
At this time, Lux who had also noticed this changed his expression and exclaimed, "The presiding judge?!"
"… What?"
It seemed that the situation was not good.
The herbaceous creature that was almost eaten by Mo Li was the presiding judge who presided over Xu Shenxing's trial.
Judging from the other party's sickly appearance, almost being swallowed by the Jasmine Pill just now must have caused considerable physical and psychological damage to it …
Although Xu Shenxing did not take the trial to heart — there were many who wanted to put him on trial, but so far no one had succeeded. But based on the situation just now, Mo Li was indeed in the wrong.
"Mo Li." Xu Shenxing could not help but put on a stern face and said to Mo Li righteously, "Don't eat random things in the future, understand?"
“wo~”
Mo Li nodded in reply.
"Is that the place to be taught a lesson?!"
Lux could not help but complain.
Because there was still a short period of time before the trial began, in order to avoid being witnessed by more people, the three of them had to find a more remote place for the time being.
It was the green area in the building, a garden formed by vines as thick as a person's wrist. There were also grapes the size of basins in the garden, but when passersby approached them, their faces would appear, and they would use a magnetic male voice to ask the passersby if they had any difficulties and provide answers.
And if the passersby said they were thirsty or hungry, they would control the vines and pluck off their faces to satisfy the passersby's hunger. However, the scene was very frightening. Xu Shenxing had already seen several passersby who were frightened.
… Speaking of which, why were there so many plant aliens here?
Lux obviously kept a respectful distance from these grape aliens.
He bought a bottle of water from a robot that looked a bit like a trash can and poured it on the presiding judge's head … To be precise, he poured it on the little sprout on its head.
After a while, the little sprout grew a little bigger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and its two leaves turned into three.
The palm-sized potato sprite also woke up.
"Strange, I seemed to have experienced something incredible just now …" It shivered, and its eyes became much clearer. It seemed to have forgotten that it was almost eaten just now. Then it saw Lux holding the bottle of water. "Isn't this Lux? Did you bring the suspect? "
Lux used his gun to disintegrate the remaining half of the bottle of water into an information state, then said to the presiding judge, "Yes. Let me introduce him to you … "
"No need, before the trial, we don't have any personal contact with the suspect. This is the rule of us judges."
The potato sprite raised a toothpick-like hand to stop Lux, then spoke in a bureaucratic tone.
But immediately after, its eyes moved away from Xu Shenxing and fell on Mo Li, who was next to Xu Shenxing.
Then, like a nightmare waking up, it half-knelt on Lux's palm with its head covered in cold sweat (by the way, its sweat was green). It muttered in a frightened voice, "So dark, so dark, so scary …"
"Lux, can't you use your omnipotent gun to think of a way?"
Xu Shenxing could only helplessly say.
Since Lux's gun could leave a high-tech mark in the brain of a vegetative girl, then a certain degree of memory modification shouldn't be a problem. Then in theory, it should be possible to slightly modify the memory of this potato sprite and repair its psychological trauma.
As for why Xu Shenxing didn't do it himself, it was simple. The reason was actually very simple … Because the other party was a plant, Xu Shenxing really didn't know how much strength he would have to use to physically modify the potato's memory without destroying it …
Similarly, Mo Li's memory manipulation magic didn't target plants.
"Unfortunately, this won't work."
Lux waved the water gun in its hand and said helplessly, "In order to prevent abuse of the Executive Officer's gun, the gun itself has a set of restrictions. It's forbidden for other members of the Space Administration and high-level people of the second type of world (sovereign world). In addition, in order to ensure the fairness of the trial, the presiding judge himself has his own high-security database. I can't hack into it with a gun of my level. "
"That's awkward …"
Xu Shenxing scratched his head.
Mo Li was a 'defense lawyer', so he definitely had to attend the trial. Now that the presiding judge would have a psychological trauma whenever he saw Mo Li, there was no way he could carry out a normal trial, right?
"It can't be helped," Lux said with a bitter smile, "We can only take one step at a time …"
☆
The trial began very quickly.
After watering it again, the bud on the presiding judge's head grew a little bigger, and the other party finally calmed down.
And Jasmine was also ordered by Xu Shenxing to turn invisible for the time being. The consequence of this was that on that day, many otherworlders who came here to do business from other worlds witnessed a supernatural incident. Two grapes with human faces floated in the air and then mysteriously disappeared ….
After that, this incident spread to many worlds and became an urban legend. From the legend, the 'Vanishing Grape' was born, a terrifying demon that could attack the spherical organs on the bodies of living creatures, causing countless people to tremble in fear at the mere mention of it.
Of course, this was all in the future.
After the presiding judge woke up, it forgot about Mo Li. After it greeted Lux, it spread its dragonfly wings and flew to the trial.
From its hurried appearance, even if it didn't remember Mo Li's existence, it still seemed to be afraid.
"For the trial, do I have to do anything?"
Xu Shenxing followed Lux to the trial and asked, "For example, handcuffs and shackles?"
"Can that kind of thing restrain you?"
Lux asked in amusement.
"Something symbolic?" Xu Shenxing replied casually.
"Then isn't it fine?" Lux shrugged and said, "Actually, according to historical records, the suspects did have to wear restraints during the trial, but because it was difficult to tailor restraints for the 'people' who came to this planet for trial, the trial later gave up on this setting."
As it spoke, Lux pointed at an otherworld creature not far away.
The creature looked like a giant. It was about fifty stories tall, and its whole body was covered in rotting black muscle fibers. Its hands and feet were made of rotting muscle fibers, and its head was a huge tentacle that looked like a tongue. With every step it took, the building Xu Shenxing and the others were in trembled slightly. Just its existence alone was enough to spread chaos and terror to the surroundings.
"For a creature like that, there's no way to use normal restraints. If we specially make restraints for it and use them to restrain it, its boss … is like a meatball. That guy will come to this world to protest. After all, that guy is a rare creature that can travel through multiple worlds. In terms of seniority, it might be even older than the Space Administration. The higher-ups of the Space Administration had a headache over this. For example, although some creatures have hands, they actually rely on the tentacles on their chin to move. Normal restraints are really no different from decorations … "Lux spread out its hands." So in the end, they still canceled the restraints. You should relax a little. "
"It feels a little strange …"
Xu Shenxing listened patiently to what Lux had to say. After scratching his face, he followed Lux into the designated trial. Because there were many types and sizes of otherworld people, the trial had many different specifications. It was worth mentioning that although there was only one entrance for each specification of the trial, the rooms behind the door overlapped in a dimensional state. So after everyone entered, they would be in a different room, and they would not be able to see who had entered first.
In addition, although they could see the presiding judge, what they could see was in fact a projection of the staff from another dimension. Therefore, the people on trial would not be able to attack the legal staff.
"Another dimension? That little thing is actually a powerhouse on the level of the Four-Element Giant Whale? "
Hearing Lux's introduction, Xu Shenxing could not help but be a little surprised.
"Well, actually, it's not as powerful as it sounds. The presiding judge does not have the ability to go to a higher dimension. It's just that through encrypted information, they can reach a 3.5-dimensional platform built by the Space Administration that is mixed between the three-dimensional and four-dimensional space."
Lux replied with a bitter smile. "Although it's not a problem to use it to escape, it doesn't have any combat ability."
In fact, when many otherworld people first heard of this situation, they would be like Xu Shenxing. In fact, it was not that powerful.
It was just that this kind of power that could shuttle between higher dimensions could almost ignore any confinement in this world and escape.
Although it was so powerful, it still could not escape from Mo Li's mouth and stomach …
In addition, the act of placing the suspect alone in an independent space was actually a kind of restriction imposed by the Space Administration on the suspect after the removal of the restraining props. If the suspect refused to accept the verdict and wanted to escape, the space would be directly sealed off, and it would be an indestructible space prison.
Of course, whether or not it could be destroyed depended on the situation, except for existences at the level of Xu Shenxing and Mo Li …
Anyway, Lux had already guaranteed that Xu Shenxing would be fine, so at first Xu Shenxing just planned to go in and walk out.
However, reality once again exceeded his expectations.
When he stepped into the entrance of the courtroom, the overlapping dimensions behind the door began to shake.
Some of the dimensions that were not well solidified because not many people used them directly collided with each other and were annihilated.
In short, the entire overlapping dimension was in a mess.
The Space Administration's dimensional sensor immediately sensed the abnormality here, and suddenly an ear-piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire building.
At this time, the initiator of all this, Xu Shenxing, looked at the distorted scene in front of him in a daze. He could not help but be at a loss.
Fortunately, Luke reached out and pulled him out in time … Otherwise, after crashing through those dimensions, he would have fallen into some unknown corner of the world's gap.
"What's going on?"
Xu Shenxing asked Lux.
"I don't know …" Lux looked at the gradually cracking door frame and was also confused, "This is the first time I've seen this happen …"
The Space Administration's response was quite fast. Not long after, troops wearing futuristic mechanical armors surrounded the building.
At the same time, a group of mechanical armors with a different paint job entered the building first. From the paint job, it seemed like they were an ambulance team.
After Lux revealed his identity to them, he left with Xu Shenxing and Mo Li.
It seemed that the trial could not be carried out for the time being.
"How about," Xu Shenxing thought for a few seconds and suggested to Lux.
"Let's go eat lunch first?"
