Chapter 166
Day 7.
The last day of moral judgment.
The number of people applying to come to the stage to criticize Lan Li this day was obviously much less than yesterday.
Even if it was criticism, her tone was much gentler than before. The focus of criticism was on Lan Li's revenge, thinking that she was too extreme and wanted the whole world to destroy in order to understand the tone in her heart.
Is there such a person there?
The audience nodded. This woman, because she suffered some suffering, made all the strange people suffer for more than two thousand years. Is this what a normal person does?
Although I sympathized with her experience, I still couldn't forgive her actions in my heart.
Therefore, after the morning debate, the real-time questionnaire survey of the TV station showed that the proportion of supporting the punishment of Lan Li increased to 81%.
At noon, after all the voting devices were issued, before the referendum was held, Mr. Lan suddenly posted a major message on the TV broadcast:
"All the strange people, good afternoon."
"Just just now, my upper-level leader told me that he had prepared two roads for all the strange people."
"The first way, you can stay on this planet, and you can continue to stay in your home and build your own future as an affiliated civilization of the Blue Star Federation."
"On the second way, this planet will be requisitioned by the Blue Star Federation and used as our colonial star. And you all will leave this planet and complete the various tasks assigned to you."
"Which two roads will you take will be related to the voting results that come out in the afternoon. As for what kind of voting results and what kind of road you correspond to? We will not inform you for the time being, we will act according to the results."
"So, Erqi, make your choices, your future is in your hands!"
Mr. Lan's words caused a lot of uproar and talk.
"The first road is to stay in our homes; the second road is to drive us away and turn our planet into their colonial stars! Isn't this... like the three-eyed people, to turn us into their slaves?"
"So this civilization is similar to the three-eyed man, and it is also an evil civilization!"
"What's similar to the three-eyed man? The three-eyed man at least didn't come to colonize us, but this civilization wants to occupy our home!"
"Why do they deprive us of our homes? Why do they enslave us? I don't accept it, I want to fight for freedom!" A big man raised his fist, looking angry.
"Just because they are stronger than us, their technology can destroy us without any loss, but we can't cause any harm to them." The companion next to him poured a basin of cold water on the big man.
"I...I." The man's aura weakened, and he had no choice but to put down his fist.
"The first path is acceptable, but what kind of trial result will be before we can embark on the first path?" another person asked.
"We should vote for the punishment of that woman! If such a woman is not punished, we cannot accept it, and those aliens will not accept it!"
"Yes! Aliens support us in punishing that woman, otherwise how could such a trial be held? If that woman is innocent, why should she use this platform to judge her?"
"I think so too. That woman must be punished! We will also get the first path!"
"No! I think completely different from you. If things are so simple, there is no need for aliens to announce two roads, because it is obvious that that woman will definitely be punished. But if that woman is punished, will aliens arrange the first road for us? Aliens and that woman have no relatives and no reason. They want to kill that woman, which is simple and easy, but why would they give us the good road after punishing that woman?
On the contrary, I think exactly that once that woman is convicted, we will soon lose our homeland.
Unless that woman is acquitted, the aliens may be very surprised. Why did we choose this result? Why did we forgive that unforgivable woman? They will think that we have put down the burden of hatred and no longer entangled in the past, but choose a new future!
Aliens may be doing this to keep us in our homeland!
So, this is a test, and we must choose carefully!”
A young man with a flexible mind said.
"That's what... it seems to make some sense." A person next to him nodded, agreeing with his point of view.
"But... that hateful female devil, let her go?" The other person shook his head suddenly, "I was tortured by the Three Eyes, I really can't do it."
"I can't do it either... Maybe, it's not what you think. Maybe after the female devil is punished, will the aliens keep us on our planet?"
"Aliens won't be so kind, and things won't be that simple. If I'd rather choose to forgive that woman than lose our homeland, I would rather choose to forgive that woman, even if she's guilty."
The young man shook his head and said, "He said that the few people around him thought.
...
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
There is still half an hour before the voting begins.
Center square, judgement table.
"Judge, I want to say a few words in front of all the strange people at the end!"
These days, Luo Xin, who had lost more than 20 kilograms, walked to the old judge and made a request.
Because the final voting adopts electronic voting method, each person will issue a small voting device. After the voting procedure begins, it may take up to half an hour. After the voting results will come out. After the results are released, the old judge will pronounce the sentence on him based on his guilt or not.
If guilty, Lan Li will be sentenced to death.
If not guilty, he will be released in court.
Seeing Luo Xin, who has not had much time, I want to seize this time and say a few words to all the strange people.
"The defense time has passed, and you have no chance to speak." The old judge glanced at him.
"Judge, please give me five minutes, please give Erqixing, one last chance!" Luo Xin said solemnly in the eyes of the old judge.
The old judge looked at his blood-filled eyes, swollen due to lack of sleep, and released a firm gaze like an exhausted warrior, as well as the thin face, which was covered with the last persistence that he did not give up when hope was bleak. The old judge felt aroused in his heart, and thought for a while and said, "I'll give you three minutes."
"Thank you, Lord Judge!"
It was said it was three minutes, but after picking up the headset, Luo Xin talked endlessly for 20 minutes.
These 20 minutes, in Erqixing's later history books, were called "20 minutes to create a new era".
In the past 20 minutes, Luo Xin used his words to impress the old judge, impressed hundreds of millions of strange-looking compatriots, and himself.
This time, he did not talk about any big truths, nor did he try his best to defend Lan Li, but instead drew a blueprint.
A blueprint for the future of Erqi Man.
This blueprint is full of passion and emotion. Every byte is full of emotions, and every fragment is full of his infinite imagination.
He even imagined himself a wife, two children, and a happy family for himself.
He also painted a future for the country, an endless bright future.
He claimed that the Erqi people would create the same glory like the "Blue Star Man", have the same numerous colonial galaxies, have the right to autonomy, and have a place in this brilliant galaxy.
Finally, he said:
"We have been delaying too long, we are lagging behind too many people, and if we don't rise up and catch up, we have no hope!"
"Hate, pain, those heavy memories, and strange people can no longer bear it!"
"I don't expect forgiveness, I don't expect forgiveness. I just hope that everyone will forget everything in the past, embrace our future, and embrace our brand new future!"
"So, please make your choice carefully. The future of the Edgeman is in your hands!"
"Please!"
Luo Xin bowed deeply and got up after a long time.
...
Feitian, a large living room in the living area.
"This cunning guy is really a rare genius among strange people." Looking at Luo Xin in the video, Yun Xinghe smiled and shook his head.
"But brother, he didn't say a word in his speech that his compatriots wanted his fellow teachers to forgive his teacher?" Yun Qiaoqiao was puzzled.
"He didn't say a word, but every sentence expresses this meaning. This is the highest level of language expression." Sugaru said next to him.
"I thought I would definitely win the bet I made with Lao Lan that day. Now it seems that I might lose. The Erqi Man is indeed not hopeless."
After the voting process began, Yun Xinghe murmured as he looked at the data that was quickly refreshed on another screen.
"A civilization that has experienced severe disasters will always learn lessons and mature quickly." The old man in his mind suddenly said.
"Captain, the result is out, 50.005 vs. 49.995, I won that bet!"
Sure enough, after a while, Lan Xiulong's smiling face and a very proud voice came from the communication screen.
"Yeah! That's great!" Yun Qiaoqiao jumped up.
"Unexpectedly, I didn't expect such an amazing reversal to happen." Berekov said.
"This is really a miracle." Xia Xingkong exclaimed.
Chapter completed!
