Scenes of memories passed through his mind, the struggle and pain when he learned that his life and Yu Huai were in conflict, the countless sleepless nights, the snow piled under the World Tree... Xu Yinian suppressed the unnecessary emotions,

He only told Lan's words intermittently, but didn't mention the rest. After listening to him talk about the causes and consequences, Yu Huai's grip on his wrist became stronger and stronger, almost crushing his bones.

broken.

The face of the demon clan was terrifyingly gloomy, and his dark purple eyes flashed with a fierce red light. Xu Yinian had never seen him look angry with his own eyes. The feeling of oppression that hit his face made him unable to move. Yu Huai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Eyes, the tone was extremely dangerous: "You left me because of the fortune teller's words?"

Xu Yinian opened his mouth. Countless explanations seemed pale and feeble in front of the facts, so he just lowered his eyes and said nothing.

When Yu Huai accepted his acquiescence, he suddenly sneered: "Even if they conflict, so what??"

His cruelty and paranoia touched Xu Yinian's deepest fear, and the boy's voice trembled: "...I will kill you!"

"So? You made the decision for me directly??" Yu Huai stared at him, and in the end he said with unclear meaning, "Xu Yinian, you are really ruthless."

Xu Yinian was extremely confused, and his temples ached due to the violent ups and downs of emotions. Seeing that his face was particularly painful, Yu Huai didn't know what he was thinking. Killing intent gradually appeared in his eyes: "What are the chances of fate and destiny colliding?

You don’t even know if you’re being tricked.”

Xu Yinian was shocked all over.

He never thought about this possibility, and subconsciously said: "It was Lan who showed me my fortune. He couldn't have made a mistake..."

As the founder of today's fortune tellers, Lan has seen countless fortune tellers. The conflict between fate and fate is rare in the world. Few people in the world can see this phenomenon. Among the fortune tellers Xu Yinian knows, Lan is the only one.

Can do it.

"Whether he calculated it right or not, you better not lie to me this time."

Yu Huai picked up the discarded purple diamond brooch from the ground and held it tightly in his hands, blood even flowed from his palms.

It turns out that Xu Yinian left him five years ago not because something happened to him, but because he thought he had chosen the best way to protect him...

The conflict made him suspicious. Once the whole story was found out, he would not let go of the person who caused the obstruction, nor would he let Xu Yinian leave again.

Yu Huai suppressed his emotions, took a final deep look at Xu Yinian, turned around and left.

The demon clan's figure disappeared into the depths of the maple forest, and Xu Yinian stayed there in despair. The other party's words made his brain a mess, and Xu Yinian didn't even dare to think about it.

If his and Yu Huai's fate is not as Lan said, then what on earth did he do...!

Xu Yinian had a splitting headache, and he held on to the maple tree next to him in time to prevent him from falling. After an unknown period of time, the strong dizziness gradually disappeared. Xu Yinian took several deep breaths and managed to calm down.

He didn't even attend the graduation prom, so he just walked back to the dormitory in a daze.

He seemed to have returned to five years ago. The daytime became extremely long, and the scenes kept repeating in his mind, unable to stop. Xu Yinian hardly ate or drank, and just slept with his head covered. Several times in succession.

One day, the slightly empty dormitory contained only the occasional sound from him. What broke this bad state was a phone call one evening.

"Brother Xu!" Xia Ziheng's excited voice came from the other end, "Have you seen the message in the group? You haven't waited? I'll ask you when you reply."

"...What?" Xu Yinian spoke with a nasal voice that sounded like he had just woken up. He turned over on the bed and slowly opened the group chat.

Last night, Chen Ran forwarded the notice from the Demon Slayer Bureau in the group: [Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, the Black Tower Trial will be held in Hall 2 of the Trial Court. Basically all the demon slayers who participated in this incident are invited. We

You can also participate, I will receive a reply.]

Xu Yinian glanced at the date and time and realized that there were less than five hours before the trial started. His groggy mind finally cleared up a little.

"I got it now, see you then."

Maple Bridge College is hundreds of kilometers away from the Tribunal. When Xu Yinian pushed the door open, the Trial Hall was already full of people. He used to look for Chen Ran and Xia Ziheng, but found that there were no empty seats for them.

He wanted to sit down casually, but someone suddenly stopped him.

"Hey, Xu Yinian? This way."

Xu Yinian turned his head and saw the young man's fox-like eyes.

It's Pei Su.

He was slightly surprised: "How did you...?"

He didn't expect that Pei Su would appear here. After coming out of the black tower, he asked about Pei Su's situation and said that he had been released from prison. He had just escaped from the nightmare that had lasted for several years, and Pei Su was in good condition.

The young man smiled at him, and after he sat down, he put his arm around his shoulders affectionately: "I haven't thanked you yet, kid, but you actually did what you said."

"It's not just me, many people have contributed." Xu Yinian hesitated, "I thought you would never want to meet people like Black Tower again."

Pei Su leaned back in his seat, a little carelessly: "Today is the day when those beasts will be put on trial. In the past few years, they have allowed those prisoners to torture me and even increased my sentence without authorization. I must watch them suffer retribution with my own eyes."

Seeing Xu Yinian's face pale, Pei Suduo asked: "Is it okay if you don't have a rest? Are you too busy during this period?"

Xu Yinian shook his head, and Pei Su stopped asking. He suddenly poked Xu Yinian's arm and changed the subject: "Who is sitting on the far right in the first row of the jury across from us?"

"It's Xia Yan," Xu Yinian glanced at the people sitting in that circle were all important figures from the Demon Slayer Bureau, "He is the one leading the team for this Black Tower mission."

"He's quite handsome." Pei Su said, and then asked, "Where's the one on the far left? I saw him as soon as I came in."

Among the group of demon slayers, that one had a particularly special temperament, and his dark purple eyes did not belong to humans at first glance. Pei Su had never seen such a beautiful monster in the Black Tower for several years.

Yu Huai leaned on the back of his chair and tilted his head slightly. Sitting next to him was Director Song from the Nanhai Branch. He was smiling and talking to Yu Huai. Xu Yinian remembered that Director Song had a good relationship with Xuan Tan, and so did Yu Huai when he graduated.

Enter the Nanhai Branch.

Seeing the handsome and familiar face of the demon clan, Xu Yinian's eyes slowly froze. After a while, he said in a low voice: "Yu Huai."

Pei Su didn't notice his emotion. Even though he knew little about the demon world, Pei Su had heard this name and couldn't help but look surprised: "That's him."

Not knowing what Director Song said, Yu Huai smiled. Pei Su sighed from the bottom of his heart: "If he were a human being, the Demon Slayer Bureau would hang his photo in the United Community. With his face, there would be no need for any peaceful coexistence regulations.

?”

There was some movement at the door of the trial hall. The late arrival attracted a lot of attention. Tang Fei walked all the way to the jury. His face was cold and his eyes were like cold stars. The demon exterminators left the middle empty seat for him.

.

Xu Yinian was thinking about Yu Huai, absent-mindedly. He didn't notice that Pei Su sitting upright next to him unconsciously, his eyes gradually froze. He patted Xu Yinian's shoulder and asked unnaturally: "Then

Who is it? Your master?

"Um."

Pei Su hesitated and said, "Do you have a good relationship with your master...?"

"Very good," Xu Yinian replied, "He has been teaching me for ten years."

When passing by Yu Huai, Tang Fei paused and stared coldly at the ghost clan from top to bottom.

Yu Huai raised her eyes and looked at him unceremoniously.

Although the two people's eyes only met for a second, many keen demon slayers also noticed something was wrong. After Tang Fei sat down, Bureau Song asked softly: "Is there any misunderstanding between you and Mr. Tang?"

"No misunderstanding," Yu Huai retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Just don't deal with it."

"Mr. Tang is young and promising, but the old director is already old. In a few years, he should take over the position of the General Administration." Director Song kindly advised, "It's best not to get too tense with him."

Yu Huai was noncommittal, and Song Ju smiled and shook his head, thinking? This guy's temperament is more like that of a monster than Xuan Tan.

There were a large number of monsters involved in the Black Tower and the laboratory, and the principal criminals from both sides were escorted into the trial hall one by one. More than ten prisoners wore heavy shackles and were handcuffed one by one on the trial platform by the demon exterminators responsible for escorting them.

No matter how relaxed he had been before, Pei Su's eyes gradually showed hatred when he saw the culprit who had caused him pain for several years.

The other victims in the hall had the same reaction as Pei Su, with boos coming from all around, and some emotional ones even shouted curses.

Today's trial was unusual. Not only were all the top officials of the Demon Slayer General Bureau present, but also the figures from the demon world. The old president of the trial court personally served as the presiding judge. Faced with the noisy movement in the hall, he had to knock hard.

Gavel: "Quiet!"

The old dean’s voice was strong and calm, and the scene immediately fell silent. The recorder stepped forward and read out the trial rules aloud.

Under the solemn bells, the trial of the Black Tower Prison officially began.

"The Black Tower has been conspiring for several years to tear up the regulations, forge death certificates of prisoners and turn them into 'black households'. Not only did they secretly instruct them to commit multiple crimes, but they also used these prisoners as private soldiers." The presiding judge on the court watched.

Looking at the high-level officials of the Black Tower, his old eyes were glaring, "Do you plead guilty?"

Several demon clansmen kept silent. Under the stalemate, the warden of the Black Tower was the first to say in a hoarse voice: "Pleas guilty."

With him taking the lead, the prisoners next to him no longer remained silent and confessed one after another. The recorder wrote quickly, and the presiding judge continued: "Five years ago, the laboratory was secretly transferred from Yunyao to the Black Tower. The two parties reached a cooperation, and the Black Tower provided

Funding and asylum, the laboratory helps the above-mentioned prisoners improve their abilities, carry out blood transformation..."

…

…

Volumes after volumes of documents recording crimes were turned over one by one by the presiding judge. At first, hushed discussions could be heard from all directions, but later, countless shocking crimes silenced the entire audience.

In the face of irrefutable evidence, the once ambitious Black Tower executives could only bow their heads and admit their guilt. After the doctor's death, only a group of researchers were left in the laboratory. At this moment, all of them were dejected and their faces were gloomy.

The lengthy interrogation process was over, and after a brief adjournment, it was finally time to read out the final verdict. Xu Yinian couldn't help but sit up straight, and like most of the people present, stared intently at the bench where the presiding judge was sitting.

The presiding judge loudly said: "As for the Black Tower colluding with the laboratory to rebel and violating the regulations, the verdict of the trial is read as follows -"

"Wait a minute?." A voice came from the direction of the jury, interrupting the unspoken verdict. Yu Huai stood up calmly, and his tall and straight figure instantly attracted the attention of the audience. Xu Yinian felt something.

He gripped the armrest of his seat tightly, his heart pounding, as if something bad was about to happen.

After a brief pause, the presiding judge nodded to him: "Juror No. 1, do you have anything to add?"

Facing the countless pairs of eyes present, Yu Huai said without hesitation: "It's not yet time to pronounce the verdict. There is not just one leader of the laboratory. In addition to the dead doctor, another one is sitting on the jury.
