75: Chapter 75: Judgment Day, Tens of Thousands of Top-Secret Files Revealed to the Public

That was the most solemn day in the capital.

Although it was already deep winter, the plaza in front of the Supreme Court of the Dragon Kingdom was already packed with people.

The number of online viewers across the entire network exceeded five billion.

This was the largest live court trial in human history.

Lin Yun sat in the family gallery, holding Lin Xi, who was bundled up tightly, in his arms.

Princess Anna sat to one side, her eyes filled with awe.

On the dais, Lu Wanxing sat upright and dignified.

She had taken off her shirt and changed into that deep black judge's robe.

At that moment, she no longer seemed like a beautiful woman, but rather a statue of legal justice devoid of any emotion.

"Court is in session!"

The gavel in her hand fell, and the crisp sound instantly quelled the global uproar.

Sitting below the bench were Vice Dean Liang Bo, Professor Wang Ziru, and over a hundred bigwigs from various fields who had been rooted out during the "Clean Web Campaign."

Some were begging, some were cursing, and others, like Vice Dean Liang Bo, had hollow eyes.

"Defendant Professor Wang Ziru, you are charged with espionage and assisting in endangering national security."

"Do you have any objections?"

Lu Wanxing's voice was clear and calm.

Professor Wang Ziru raised his head and roared with a ferocious expression.

"Objections? My biggest objection is that you illegally stole my private information!"

"You are using forged data to judge a professor; this is a regression of civilization!"

Lu Wanxing remained expressionless and turned to look at the giant screen beside her.

"Since the defendant has doubts, then, let the decryption begin."

"Phase one: Capital chain."

Tens of thousands of complex global capital flow charts instantly flashed onto the screen.

Every single payment from the Eagle Sauce CIA, the Island Nation Intelligence Agency, and even the 'Moon Gate' organization was accurate down to the second.

Even the three million US dollars that Professor Wang Ziru lost at an overseas casino, and who helped him cover the deficit, were clearly laid out.

The entire internet was instantly in an uproar.

"The evidence is irrefutable! Is this that self-proclaimed high-minded public intellectual?"

"A gambling addict? Haha, what an eye-opener!"

Professor Wang Ziru's face instantly turned ashen.

"Phase two: Information transmission."

Lu Wanxing's operation was extremely skillful.

Those encrypted emails attempting to locate Lin Yun's villa were decrypted on the spot.

Even more terrifyingly, a piece of audio was played.

"As long as Lin Yun dies and that child is not born, our Lord will grant us eternal life through the Gate."

That was Vice Dean Liang Bo's voice.

There was a deathly silence at the scene.

Vice Dean Liang Bo slowly raised his head; the silver patterns on his body had disappeared, but he looked like a piece of dead wood.

"Eternal life..."

He smiled bitterly.

"We are all puppets."

Lu Wanxing stared at Vice Dean Liang Bo, her tone uncharacteristically possessing a hint of warmth.

"Vice Dean Liang Bo, you are a pioneer in materials science."

"Why would you believe in that ethereal 'Moon Gate'?"

Vice Dean Liang Bo raised his hand and pointed to the sky.

"Because behind the moon, there really are gods."

"The technology mastered by a mortal like Lin Yun is, in their eyes, nothing more than a wooden stick by a campfire."

Lin Yun sat below, listening to all of this coldly.

A wooden stick by a campfire?

These people who have knelt for too long will never understand true science.

"Phase three: Top-secret files."

Lu Wanxing pressed the button again.

This time, what appeared on the screen was not text, but a series of extremely bloody recordings.

Those were the "Human Instrumentality Project" experiments that Eagle Sauce had conducted in Africa and Southeast Asia over the past decade in collaboration with those spies.

Thousands of civilians were used as test subjects, attempting to fuse with that silver substance from the far side of the moon.

The result was that they all turned into soulless monsters.

"This data was all covered up with the help of you so-called 'pacifists'."

Lu Wanxing's voice became stern, resounding like thunder.

"You claim to be acting for the sake of human civilization."

"Yet you are personally destroying the continuation of the human race!"

Professor Wang Ziru finally broke down, kneeling on the ground and wailing loudly.

"I didn't know... I really didn't know they were conducting these kinds of experiments! I just wanted money, I just wanted to emigrate!"

The barrage in the live stream paused at that moment.

Subsequently, there was the roar of billions of people.

"Kill him! He must be sentenced to death!"

"Is this the 'life mentor' we used to support? Has his conscience been eaten by dogs?"

The trial lasted for ten hours.

Lu Wanxing not only exposed the ugly acts of the public intellectuals but also, through the logic of the law, nailed the despicable conduct of Eagle Sauce and the 'Moon Gate' firmly to the pillar of history.

Finally, she stood up, and the gavel in her hand fell heavily.

"After deliberation by the Supreme Court, the verdict is as follows."

"Vice Dean Liang Bo, Professor Wang Ziru, and thirty-six other core members are sentenced to death for the crimes of endangering human safety and treason, to be executed immediately."

"The remaining individuals involved are stripped of all their scientific achievements and civil rights, and are to be exiled to 'Pangu Farm' for life-long labor reform."

The entire audience stood up.

The applause was thunderous.

Lin Yun watched Lu Wanxing on the dais; although her expression remained cold, deep in her eyes was an unprecedented sense of relief.

This was her final cleansing of this filthy world as a legal professional.

That night.

Lin Yun found Lu Wanxing drinking red wine alone in the villa's garden.

Tonight, she had changed into a fiery red evening gown, red as a burning flame.

"The trial is over, the world is clean, how do you feel?"

Lin Yun walked over and sat beside her.

Lu Wanxing swirled the red wine in her glass, watching the strange full moon on the horizon.

"It feels... that laws are still not enough."

"Rules can only control the people on the ground, but they cannot control the demons in the sky."

She turned to look at Lin Yun, her eyes carrying an aggressiveness never seen before.

"Lin Yun, when will you take me to the moon?"

Lin Yun smiled.

He reached out and gently put his arm around her waist.

This time, Lu Wanxing did not dodge, but instead leaned against his shoulder.

[Ding! The spiritual and physical compatibility between the host and the target has reached 100%!]

[Congratulations to the host, the seventh S-class offspring has been successfully conceived!]

[System prompt: This offspring has awakened the 'Absolute Judgment' talent and will become the drafter of the Interstellar Code in the future.]

[Accompanying reward: Inter-galactic warp engine (mothership class) construction blueprints are being distributed!]

Lin Yun felt the warmth of the beauty in his arms, as well as the vast star map in his mind.

"Soon."

"When our child is born, I will take you to see what is behind that 'Gate'."

"Let's see if those so-called 'gods' can withstand my artillery fire."

However, just as he finished speaking.

The night sky in the distance was suddenly torn open as if by a giant hand.

A silver beam of light, a hundred times larger than the previous "Rod of God," was aimed directly at the capital from the direction of the moon!

"That is not an attack..."

Lin Yun stood up abruptly, his pupils reflecting that beam of light.

"That is... a summoning signal?"

The guys on the moon side finally couldn't sit still anymore.

They actually wanted to forcibly take someone from the Dragon Kingdom?

Lin Yun held Lu Wanxing's hand tightly; he discovered that the target of that beam of light was actually—
