Justification
This was Chen Ling's first time seeing the complete Tribunal.
Although Chen Ling had long drawn this ability from Han Meng, because his own Rank wasn't high enough, what he used was the castrated version, just like the [Spirit Serpent]... And Han Meng, other than fighting the red paper monster, had never used this Domain against him either.
But now, he had reached the Fourth Order, so he naturally had the ability to completely deploy this Domain...
[Judgment], the Path of the Soldier's strongest single-target lethal Path;
And the corresponding Domain, [Tribunal], naturally represented the extreme of lethality. Chen Ling sensed the information of this Domain, and after a long while, his eyes narrowed slightly.
The Tribunal possessed extremely strong lethality, but correspondingly, it also possessed complicated shackles. This power couldn't be used directly... Rather, it needed a "Justification".
"Justification" was the core of triggering the Tribunal's power, and this "Justification" had to be consistent with the inner heart of the Domain owner. One couldn't go against their conscience, nor casually frame someone. Only in this way could it be considered a "Judgment".
Chen Ling stood on the high judgment desk. He slowly raised the muzzle in his hand, aiming at the two people in the defendant's seats.
"I judge you to death."
Chen Ling pulled the trigger.
Like a judge dropping the gavel, or a county magistrate tossing the execution tally, the moment Chen Ling's voice fell, some kind of power within the [Tribunal] instantly broke through its seal, surging towards the two in the defendant's seats!
Pfft—!!
The fine hairs on the Caucasian Man's body stood on end. He instinctively wanted to break free from here and flee for his life, but the next moment, more than half of his body disintegrated into nothingness, not even a single trace of blood spurting out...
A giant hollow appeared in the center of his body, even splitting him directly into two halves. The area below the neck and above the knees all disappeared without a trace, as if devoured by some invisible giant beast. Only a head was left, crashing onto the ground with a terrified look!
Looking at the other side, the moment the trigger was pulled, The Photographer used a photo to substitute his body. The smooth photo paper was annihilated into nothingness in the judgment. The Photographer's figure swayed, seemingly wanting to take the opportunity to flee the defendant's seat, but the moment he turned his head, he saw a brown-clothed figure quietly standing behind him.
"You..." The Photographer's pupils suddenly shrank!
The Photographer hadn't expected Chen Ling's whereabouts to be so bizarre. Having witnessed the Caucasian Man's sudden death with his own eyes, at this moment he no longer had the slightest thought of fighting Chen Ling. He terrifiedly raised his palm, directly turning himself into a photo!
At the same time, he once again attempted to flee into the distance!
"The judgment has already been finalized, you cannot escape."
Chen Ling spoke calmly.
He didn't aim the muzzle at the fleeing Photographer again. Instead, he casually pointed it into the surrounding void and pulled the trigger!
Pfft!
The rapidly sprinting Photographer was as if hit by an invisible bullet. His left leg instantly turned into nothingness... He screamed miserably, and planted face-first onto the ground.
Chen Ling casually fired two more shots. The Photographer's other leg and one hand disappeared one after another, thoroughly losing his ability to resist, almost unable to move like mud.
Chen Ling walked forward unhurriedly.
At the same time, the [Tribunal] began to retract under Chen Ling's feet like a receding tide. He and The Photographer returned back to that section of the broken carriage that was still moving forward. The whimpering night wind poured in through the gap in the carriage.
"... Director Chen?" Seeing the two corpses on the ground, and a twisted and deformed Photographer, Lu Xun froze on the spot.
Just a few minutes ago, those three 'Black Hand' were still besieging Chen Ling quite arrogantly. And they had only disappeared for a moment, and when they reappeared, they had already been almost completely wiped out... While looking at Chen Ling, there wasn't a single wound on his body.
Chen Ling calmly walked to the front of The Photographer who only had one arm left. The pitch-black muzzle slowly rose, aiming at the back of his head.
"Stop."
An exasperated voice came from the screen.
Chen Ling raised his eyebrows and looked up, only to see a middle-aged figure sitting in a helicopter, gritting his teeth as he watched everything happening on the screen.
"I don't care who you are, nor do I care how much money Lu Xun gave you, right now I'll give you ten times that amount!
Work for me, and I can give you things far beyond money. As a Black Hand, it's actually not easy to possess privileges in this era... I can help you escape the search of Bureau 749. I can give you whatever you want!"
Chen Ling glanced at the screen, and coldly snorted somewhat disdainfully,
"The clichéd plot of the villain trying to rope someone in... With lines like this, even the Audience Expectation Value is too lazy to rise..."
Director Zheng: ?
"Before offering conditions to buy me off, perhaps, you can first check your account balance." Chen Ling spoke faintly. "What you're using to connect to the network should be the mobile device you normally use, right?"
A hint of confusion flashed in Director Zheng's eyes, but he still took out a mobile phone from his pocket and opened his bank account.
The next moment, the account balance that originally still had nine digits began jumping madly like it caught a virus!
In just a few short seconds, the nine digits jumped to eight digits, then seven digits, six digits... Under Director Zheng's horrified gaze, it finally jumped to "0.00"...
This wasn't over yet. Following the popping up and light-speed signing of a line of loan agreements, his debt began to skyrocket all the way from "0", skyrocketing back up to eight digits... This wasn't Chen Ling's limit, but the limit of Director Zheng's credit line.
Looking at the fifty million debt on the phone, Director Zheng rubbed his eyes blankly, wearing an expression of dreaming.
He naturally also wouldn't see that at the same time, Chen Ling's bank account and the balances of twelve other charity accounts were all skyrocketing. It was like a storm had swept away Director Zheng's entire fortune!
"And also..."
Chen Ling's deep voice transmitted from the screen once again.
Director Zheng looked up, only to see Chen Ling's eyes seemingly able to penetrate the virtual Electronic Screen, locking onto him behind the screen like stealing his soul... An inexplicable sense of crisis surged into his heart!
"Did you think that by hiding in the sky like a rat, you could escape disaster?"
As this sentence came out, Director Zheng shivered violently. He subconsciously looked out the porthole, only to see that on the railway tracks in the distance, a section of the train billowing with black smoke was moving slowly...
A thought appeared in Director Zheng's heart, making his face turn pale as paper!
Could it be...
"Quick!! Fly away quickly! Get further away from that train!!" Director Zheng immediately yelled!
The reason Director Zheng didn't ride the train was that he was worried about Lu Xun, this unstable factor. In case there was some way to accidentally break through the blockade of the three Black Hands and hurt him... Thus, he only sat on the plane, hiding far away in the air, using remote devices to monitor everything.
Although the distance from here to the train was at least a few kilometers, and it was difficult to be discovered under the cover of night, under Chen Ling's oppressive gaze, Director Zheng still cowered.
Under his command, the pilot immediately controlled the plane and quickly flew off to the side.
