We won't give him any chance to make a comeback in the next trial! "Remil said with certainty.
"I believe you, but we have to be prepared for everything," Michael said.
"You have other plans?" Remil raised his eyebrows, wanting to hear Michael's plan.
"We have to make another arrangement. Regardless of whether the seven Archangels have returned to the Holy City in glory or are still traveling the world, we have to ensure that there are seven of them," Michael said.
"You mean to completely remove Sharjah from the Archangels?" Remil asked in surprise.
Michael didn't answer, but Remil could tell from the expression on Michael's face that he seemed to have made a decision.
No matter how powerful a heretic was, the Holy City had always been able to eliminate them cleanly once they were determined to do so. This time, however, they were being obstructed by Archangel Sharjah.
Moreover, she was the one who suggested the oath in divine language to Mofan. Otherwise, this matter would have been completely resolved the day Mofan killed Patrolling Angel Charlie.
At that time, even if Mofan had become an evil god, he definitely wouldn't have been able to resist the Holy City's pursuit.
"The current Holy City is far different from the past. Often, we have to be bold and decisive at times like this," Michael said.
…
…
The rain began to fall heavily. The continuous autumn rain fell into the ancient and solemn Holy City, soaking countless streets and gradually washing away the dust from the Gobi Desert floating in from the west.
After the rain, the Holy City became exceptionally clean. The remaining moisture reflected all kinds of radiance, making every brick and tile look sacred!
In the Holy Court, Mofan's trial gradually came to an end. The last case was the death of Patrolling Angel Charlie.
Perhaps all the previous crimes related to Mofan could be reasonably explained. Even the matter of the Red Devils could not be forced onto Mofan. However, it was very difficult for Mofan to escape responsibility for this matter.
"Mofan, please answer us. Did you kill Patrolling Angel Charlie?" Remil asked solemnly.
"Yes."
"Have you ever regretted committing such a heinous crime?" Remil, the chief priest, continued to question.
"No." Mofan answered very decisively, without a trace of hesitation. "If I could go back in time, I would still do the same."
"You … You're admitting your guilt!!" High Priest Remil suddenly said heavily.
If he pleaded guilty, the trial could not be any simpler!!
"Confess? I only admitted that I killed Patrol Angel Charlie, but I didn't admit that it was a crime. "Mofan looked into Remil's eyes and answered seriously.
"Admitting that you killed the Patrolling Angel Sariel is a crime. Even if that person wasn't Sariel and was just a commoner, it's still a serious crime!" Remil emphasized.
"Chief Divine Priest, I don't agree with you," Zu Huanyao said.
Remil's face darkened, but he had no choice but to listen to Zu Huanyao.
"Admitting to killing someone doesn't necessarily mean it's a crime. Let me give you the simplest example. When you are on your way home, you suddenly see a criminal breaking into your neighbor's house. He is using a weapon to cut your neighbor's blood vessels. At this time, you rush forward and snatch the weapon. When the criminal tries to continue the crime, you kill him. This can't be called a crime. As such, Mofan has admitted to killing Patrol Angel Sariel, but we still have to decide whether it's a crime or not, "Zu Huanyao said.
"Chairman Zu, how could Patrol Angel Sariel be a criminal? How could he possibly be crazy enough to commit murder!?" Remil said.
"I'm just stating that admitting to killing someone doesn't mean he's admitting to committing a crime. Our focus should be on Patrol Angel Sariel's actions, and what Mofan's motive for killing Patrol Angel Sariel was, "Zu Huanyao had no intention of backing down.
Remil's gaze had clearly changed.
This Zu Huanyao was indeed impressive. They were supposed to be trying Mofan's crimes, but he had somehow turned the situation around and put Patrol Angel Sariel on trial instead!
What exactly did Patrol Angel Sariel do?
Since it was a public trial, the whole world was paying attention to it. The people were all thinking, "What did Sariel do that Mofan would kill him!?"
It was definitely not a good sign!
Interrogating the Sacred City?
Interrogating the Patrolling Angel of the Sacred City?
"Mofan, since you've admitted to killing someone, please tell us your motive for killing Patrol Angel Sariel." Remil immediately cut off Zu Huanyao's speech, just in case the old fox continued to spread rumors that were detrimental to the Sacred City.
"My motive?" Mofan was startled by the question.
"Yes, even though we already know your motive, we still hope you can tell us the truth yourself. Whether it's a lie or the truth, we will make a decision based on your confession. Please think carefully about what you're going to say next. This is a public trial. There are people from all walks of life, and there are Clergymen who have solved countless cases. Your words will determine the final verdict! "Remil said to Mofan.
What was his motive?
Why did he have to kill Patrol Angel Sariel?
Mo Fan lifted his gaze and said to the Clergymen of the Sacred Hall, "It's hard to explain my motive, but I do know that if I could turn back time, I would still kill him without any hesitation!"
His words were extremely provocative, at least in Remil's opinion.
Remil was so angry that he almost sentenced Mofan to death on the spot, but he still had to let Mofan finish.
"If you insist on my motive, I think it's because some people were influencing my thoughts. Their actions in the past led me to kill Patrol Angel Sariel that day. If I'm guilty, then they should bear some of the blame," Mofan said.
"Who are they? Can you invite them to the Sacred City for a confrontation? Also, are you admitting that you were influenced by some evil, or that the devil controlled you to commit such a heinous act? "Remil tried his best to remain calm as he interrogated.
Mofan shook his head and said, "They can't appear in court …"
Standing in the Sacred City, in this birdcage-like judge's seat, when Mofan was asked this question, many faces indeed appeared in his mind.
Mofan also hoped that they could appear in the Sacred City and point at them, viciously scolding them. They were the ones who caused him to become like this, but they were already dead.
"Why can't you appear in court? Are you lying, or do you want to find someone to share your sins? You said you killed Sariel out of your own control. Then what's controlling your thoughts? "Remil felt that Mofan's words were very beneficial to them, so he immediately asked.
