The Highest Bounty

Chapter 591 Trial Result—Capital Penalty

Time sped up more than 800 days in the hut, and less than nine days outside.

When Gu Ding walked out of the cultivation tower carelessly, Brim, the Golden Armored Order Guard, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Gu Ding. "Come with us."

Gu Ding put his hands in his trouser pockets and nodded indifferently.

This made some people around who were waiting to see the good show a little annoyed. They originally thought that Guding would question the motives of several order-keepers when he came up, and then he would be captured by the order-keepers after a fight. Unexpectedly, Gu Ding was so cooperative that he didn't even ask a question.

Bream stood up and raised his eyebrows, "Do you know the purpose of our coming?"

"It should be that guy Carruthers died. Apart from that, I can't think of any other reason that would cause the Golden Armored Guardian to come forward." Of course Guding would not say that, I knew Carothers was dead a long time ago, and I also saw you waiting outside. Although he doesn't like to lie, he is even more unwilling to expose the existence of the Sea Emperor.

"In the gate of purgatory, murder is a felony without signing a life-and-death agreement. I will take you to trial now, don't try to escape, you can't escape in my hands, even though you have been very powerful recently improvement."

Having said that, Bream glanced at Guding, and he could see that Guding's strength had risen significantly again, and he was a little surprised. After all, it has been less than ten days since Guding entered the cultivation tower, and as far as he knows, Guding entered the first floor of the cultivation tower, and there is no time acceleration effect.

Gu Ding nodded, and galloped away with the three keepers.

In order to prevent him from escaping, Bream led the way at the front, and behind Gu Ding were two silver-armored order guards. Form a triangle shape and cover him in it.

Gu Ding never thought of running away, no matter how he escaped, he would still be in the gate of purgatory. Moreover, the strength of the three defenders is stronger than him, and he will be caught if he can't escape far. There is no need for that at all. Therefore, he obediently followed Bream.

But what made him feel strange was that the direction that the golden armor guard led him was the cafeteria.

And when he stopped, he happened to be at the door of the cafeteria.

"Take me to the cafeteria? What do you mean?" Gu Ding was a little puzzled.

"Come in with me." Bream waved at Gu Ding and stepped into the cafeteria.

Gu Ding and the other two keepers followed immediately.

At this time, there were already many people sitting in the cafeteria. Seeing Gu Ding's entry, many people looked at him.

Gu Ding looked up into the distance, and the most inward position of the cafeteria was cleared out, and a long silver table was placed. A woman sat in the middle of the table. On both sides of her, there were all gold-armored rank guards. There were seventeen of them. Obviously including the man who brought her just now, eighteen rank guards had arrived. together.

Bream found his seat and sat down, while Gu Ding was taken to a chair on the other side of the long table by two silver-armored orderlies.

Behind Gu Ding, there was a group of onlookers sitting. There were many reserve guards in silver armor and black armor, and there were also many prisoners in black and white striped clothes. This battle left Gu Ding speechless.

"I'm Victoria, the warden. The trial here today is to keep the entire trial process transparent and to ensure absolute fairness." Victoria wore a black dress with a stern expression on her face. As soon as she opened her mouth, the entire cafeteria fell silent down.

In the cafeteria, many people heard about the trial and rushed over one after another, but they all sat quietly in the back row without making a sound to interfere.

"Prisoner Gooding, who ignored the rules of competition in the arena and beat Carruthers to death, the trial is now open!" Victoria ordered, "The law-abiding people began to ask questions!"

The Golden Armored Ranker sitting on the far left was the first to stand up, "Guding, during the competition, did you deliberately interrupt Carothers' surrender, covered the opponent's mouth, and smashed the Touch the opponent's chin, so that he can't speak?"

"That's right." Gu Ding did not deny that he did such a thing, and the arena was monitored. Even if he denies it, he can tell what the truth is like by calling out the monitoring.

At this time, the first person sat down, and the second Golden Armored Order Stander stood up again. That person was on Victoria's left, next to Victoria.

"Guding, are you still continuing to attack after Carothers lost consciousness?"

"That's right, but since the referee didn't stop, I don't need to stop, right?" Guding's words also made sense.

"In the arena, referees may also have their eyesight obstructed and affect their judgment. Therefore, after the opponent loses consciousness, the competitor should take the initiative to stop and let the referee make a judgment. And you clearly know that the opponent is unconscious. If you continue to attack, does it mean that you had a subjective willingness to attack at that time?"

"It can be said that as many punches as he hits me, I will return as many punches. Of course, I will not stop because he loses consciousness." Gu Ding did not deny this.

The second person nodded at Victoria and sat down too.

The third person who asked the question was Belinda. She stood up and looked at Gu Ding, "Gu Ding, do you have the idea of ​​killing Carothers?"

"No, although I know that guy is a scumbag. But in the arena, it's a place to learn from each other. The reason why I took so many punches was to fight back at him. As for whether he can survive, it's not in my consideration. You guys You can watch the video of the battle, as I said at the time, whether he can survive or not depends on himself." Gu Ding said, projecting the video intercepted by Neptune.

In that video, there is an original sentence that Gu Ding said, "You just hit me more than three million punches, fair trade, and I will pay you back the same number of punches. As for whether you can survive, it depends on your luck."

After watching this video, Belinda also nodded and sat down.

Afterwards, a few order keepers also asked a few innocuous questions.

The questioning process took about half an hour. Seeing that no one had any other questions, Victoria spoke again, "Now let the prisoner make his own statement, and then we will vote on whether he is guilty or not."

Gooding also stood up again, "First of all, I did not have the subjective will to kill Carothers, which you should have seen in the video. Secondly, Carothers was not directly killed by me in the ring , but died because the treatment was ineffective. Therefore, I personally believe that I am innocent.”

"Okay, let's start voting to judge whether he is guilty or not." Victoria nodded, and turned to look at the Order Keepers on both sides.

After a while, the verdicts of the 19 people came out. Only Victoria, Belinda, and Bream chose not guilty. The remaining 16 people all chose to be guilty.

"Sixteen people thought they were guilty, and three people thought they were not guilty. The warden had ten votes, so the trial votes were sixteen votes guilty and twelve votes innocent, and the final trial result was guilty!" Victoria said blankly. The result of the trial came out.

The crowd immediately chattered.

"The warden is on Guding's side, but he is still guilty..."

"The warden wanted to help, but he still couldn't help."

"I don't know what kind of punishment Guding will receive."

...

"Since the result of the verdict is guilty, the trial is suspended. I need time to discuss the punishment with a few law-observers. The punishment result will be announced in the afternoon!" After Victoria finished speaking, she took eighteen law-observants and took the elevator. The ninth floor of the cafeteria.

Choose a room and file in.

Gu Ding had expected this result a long time ago. He was more surprised that someone would choose to be innocent just now, and Victoria turned out to be towards him.

But the next question to consider is how long you will be confined. According to what the Sea Emperor said, that confinement space is not an easy place. If he can't practice for hundreds of years, it will indeed be a real torture for him. He could only hope that the confinement period for the sentence would be shorter.

However, how long the specific confinement time will be is not up to Gu Ding to decide, so he ordered a few dishes very reassuringly, and ate slowly.

Seeing that everyone around was speechless for a while.

"This guy is going to be imprisoned soon, yet he is still so calm."

"I guess he doesn't know how terrifying it is to be locked up."

...

On the ninth floor of the cafeteria, nineteen people sat in a circle.

"This confinement, how long do you think is a better sentence?" Victoria glanced at the eighteen golden-armored orderlies.

"His at most belongs to manslaughter with too heavy a shot. He has no intention to kill, so it can only be regarded as a small mistake. I suggest ten years."

"Ten years? In the past, the minimum confinement period was 100 years. We can't break this minimum time because of him, right? I think at least 100 years, the minimum bottom line, must be guaranteed."

"I also suggest a hundred years..."

"A hundred years, it can't be lower, or other people will think that we are seeking privileges for Guding."

...

"Since everyone says so, then it's decided, a fine of one million points and a hundred years of confinement..." Just as Victoria finished speaking, three figures suddenly appeared.

"Master Warden, let's pronounce the death penalty for Guding's incident this time." A voice suddenly sounded.

"Master Commander!" Eighteen gold-armored guards stood up almost at the same time, and bowed to the three of them.

"Master Commander, isn't this good?" Victoria also felt a little embarrassed. After all, she was still more optimistic about Guding, and Guding and Reed were good friends, and Reed and his ancestors were friends.

"You go out first, we have something to tell the warden." Bygrave waved his hand.

The eighteen keepers bowed and left the room one after another.

"Guding's situation is very special. The three of us have considered for a long time before making this decision. The capital punishment we are talking about is not a direct execution, but a preparation to open the death mode of the confined space and let him fight in it..." r1152 ()
