Chapter 283: Chapter 242 Out of Control_2

And Hele responded with a cold retort:

"I’ve already said, there’s no need to use human rules against monsters. Besides, you are also one of the jurors. Are you questioning your own fairness? Or do you plan to refuse cooperation? If so... then it won’t just be a trial against your daughter, but an arrest of all of you!"

"Hele, you...!"

Carl was about to say something when Gladys suddenly grasped his hand.

"Dad... it’s okay, I will face the trial. Innocent until proven guilty, I am sure everything will end peacefully for me."

Gladys’s face still bore the streaks of her tears, but her expression was so resolute.

"Tess..." Looking at his daughter, Carl... clenched his fists tightly, and then... with great difficulty, nodded his head, "I... understand, then... go ahead."

"Of course you will go." But Hele added: "However, this trial against your daughter, neither you nor that person named Xiao Yi can attend!"

"What...!" Carl was stunned, then immediately showed an angry look, "Hele! What do you mean by this!?"

Hele said, "I have considered it, and indeed... when it involves one’s own daughter, both you and Xiao Yi are incapable of making fair and rational judgments. Therefore, I am temporarily revoking your jury rights, understand?"

"..." Carl knew he had no right to refuse and remained silent.

Thus, it was decided that Gladys would face trial, but... what would happen next, nobody could predict.

"..." Xiao Yi watched all of this in silence.

He had never encountered such a situation before, and thus did not know how to react or what to do.

Honestly, Xiao Yi was now at a loss.

For now... he had no choice but to take one step at a time.

The viewers in the live broadcast had also fallen silent.

At this point, hallucinations were no longer important. How to break through in this instance, they had absolutely no clue.

Silence was their only response.

The others naturally had no objections to the trial of Gladys. In fact, they were urging loudly for it to be carried out quickly.

And Hele naturally responded to them.

"Then... without further delay, let us proceed to the church for the formal trial. But..."

But the words that Hele suddenly spoke made everyone stunned.

"Before that, there is something else that must also be dealt with," Hele said coldly, "As a believer previously mentioned, it’s not just Carl’s family that is associated with the followers of the Evil God. Those girls who had dealings with her may also have been taught the knowledge of the Evil God! Therefore! Those girls must also go to the church for the trial!"

Then, Hele’s eyes swept over the crowd and he continued:

"Do not attempt to cover for them just because they are family; hiding their actions is futile before God. If anyone dares to conceal anything... then that person is very likely a follower of the Evil God!"

Listening to Hele’s words, everyone was stunned, especially the families of those girls. They were so frightened that their legs went weak, and they nearly collapsed on the spot.

Although Hele’s expression remained stern, there was a more commanding light in his eyes than before.

He was undoubtedly more serious than before.

No one opposed this decision; thus, everyone dispersed to prepare for the upcoming trial.

Carl took a deep breath and then let out a long sigh. Afterward, he said to Xiao Yi and Gladys:

"... Let’s also be on our way."

Without any further words, they silently walked towards the direction of the church.

But... on the way there, Xiao Yi saw such a scene.

A pair of parents were instructing their daughter.

"Listen well, no matter what they ask, you just say you don’t know! If they ask how you got mixed up with that damned foreigner, just say it was someone else who asked you to go! You just went to have a look and know nothing! As for who took you there, just point to anyone! Do you hear me!?"

"But..."

"Slap!"

The girl seemed to want to say something, but as soon as she began to speak, what could almost be called a heavy slap fiercely struck her face.

"..." The girl looked at her parents in astonishment, her eyes filled with disbelief.

And her parents, their faces filled with fear and anger.

"It’s all your fault!" they growled, "It’s all because you had to get involved with that despicable outsider, leading to this situation! We’re all ruined because of you! Anyway, we don’t care about other people’s children, but you must not be a follower of the Evil God! Our decent home cannot be destroyed! Do you understand!?"

"..." Faced with her own parents’ loud coercion, the girl lowered her head, then said, "Yes... I understand."

"..."

...

Then, the hasty trial officially began.

Nearly the whole town crammed into the church, focused on the final judgment.

Apart from the Church Court personnel and jurors seated on the high platform, the girls who were sitting closest up front.

And Gladys was also there among them, at a loss, fearfully maintaining a distance from each of them.

Xiao Yi and Carl looked at her, inevitably worried, after all, she was still young and would find it difficult to adapt to this situation.

"Then..." At that moment, Hele announced the beginning, "In the presence of God, let us begin the fair trial."

Hele then immediately looked at the girls and said softly,

"You need not be afraid, just show your devout faith in God, and speak what you know, but remember, do not lie..."

However, before Hele could finish, a girl stood up hastily and said:

"Grand Priest, sir! I don’t know anything! I was just curious and followed them! I really don’t know anything!"

The speaker was the girl Xiao Yi had seen earlier.

She immediately pointed to someone and loudly accused,

"It was her who asked me to go with them! She even said something about relaxing! I really had no idea about it!"

"Wha...!" The girl being pointed at was also startled, and immediately denied, "Don’t talk nonsense! I have never..."

"The Grand Priest said not to lie! You should also know what the consequences of lying are, right?"

"I truly..."

The girl was about to defend herself, but the voices of those around her silenced her.

"You little witch! Was it really you who enticed her!?"

"...!" It was then that the girl noticed, unknown to her, everyone in the church was staring at her.

Everyone...all looking at her with judgmental eyes, as if she truly was a criminal who had committed a grave sin.

"Ah...ah, I...I..."

She was still just a young girl, inexperienced in such scenarios, and even less likely to withstand people’s wordless and silent violence.

"I...I..."

Even though words of defense echoed in her mind continuously, she couldn’t utter a word, as if an invisible hand was squeezing her throat.

"..." Hele also frowned and said, "Wait a moment, don’t..."

But he was interrupted once more.

The girls here were different from their devout and firm-believing parents.

They were only thinking about how to escape punishment, and did not care about anything else.

Perhaps out of sympathy or guilt, the girl suddenly said, "But I know, you were also instigated by others to go, right? So, the responsibility isn’t on you, but on the person who tricked us into going there."

"I..." Although she knew in her heart this wasn’t the case, the girl still instinctively nodded her head, "Yes, it was others who told me to go."

"..."

From the beginning, that girl had lied, which meant that from the start, this trial had gone out of control.

More and more people would be swept into this uncontrollable chaos, and in order to save themselves, they would inevitably become involved.

And then... It was only a matter of time before Gladys would be engulfed by this chaos.
