Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 560 - 559: Please, Plaintiff, Take the Stand to Speak
Chapter 560: Chapter 559: Please, Plaintiff, Take the Stand to Speak
Since the Supernatural Management Bureau was established, it has been solving spirit events that the public finds inconceivable.
Some of these cases truly involve Mysterious Magic, while others do not.
For those real cases of hauntings and demon encounters, the Supernatural Management Bureau has always solved them discretely, never bringing them to public attention. This live-streamed trial of Hu Xiaohong and Hu Yingying is a first. Without the plaintiff, Mianmian, it felt like the court couldn’t even convene.
Online, netizens had already seen the teaser from the Supernatural Management Bureau. Discovering that the official website allowed applications for audience attendance, they applied with fervent excitement. Those in North City wanted to go, and so did those not in North City.
Now, the list of audience members has been released, and the selected netizens are joyously sharing their invitations.
[This is a historic invitation, the very first time witnessing the trial of a demon!]
[I wonder what Hu Yingying will say in court... I’m also curious why a demon like her would work in the Entertainment Circle.]
[The plaintiff listed isn’t Little Auntie, why is that?]
The online discussion is heated, and naturally, this excitement has also spread to other countries.
Americans who saw Dragon Country conducting a supernatural court, expressed their opinions on their networks as well.
[I remember a Dragon Country live-stream where that person called Little Auntie, with help from the wealthiest person on our side, managed to lock up the bad guys who turned people into animals for circuses in jail!]
[Wow, a supernatural court is opening? And it’s being live-streamed! I want to watch, can it be streamed on the international version of the app?]
[Friends, Dragon Country has a supernatural court, do we have one in our country? I’ve always felt like vampires are around me, but I have no proof.]
Amidst the rising buzz within and outside the country, the supernatural court’s first case began.
Mianmian was seated in the plaintiff’s area, where she also had the right to speak. Sitting beside her were her friends, Yang Xian among them.
Much to Mianmian’s surprise, Yang Xian arrived in court today with a little dog.
Instantly recognizing the dog as Maomao’s reincarnation, Mianmian then remembered the yard full of stray dogs she had previously helped. Moreover, Yang Xian seemed utterly different after not seeing him for just a few days.
Mianmian kept tilting her head to look at Yang Xian until the little dog in his arms bared its teeth at her.
"Xiaotian," Yang Xian said quietly, tugging gently on the leash to signal the dog to stay silent.
Mianmian was even more surprised, covering her mouth to keep herself from making a sound.
The courtroom chairs bore a notice that read, "Keep quiet." She feared her surprise would inadvertently break this rule.
Yang Xian had claimed he didn’t want to become Er Lang Shen, so Maomao’s reincarnation should still be called Maomao, yet now he was calling Maomao’s reincarnation Xiaotian! Had Yang Xian changed his mind? Why?
Little Bun was full of questions that couldn’t be voiced right now, leaving her incredibly anxious.
The little monkey Xiaoxiao, sensing the emotional shift in Mianmian, climbed onto the back of the chair and gently touched Mianmian’s head to comfort her.
Mianmian let out a small sigh, hugging Xiaoxiao and stopped looking at Yang Xian.
Since she couldn’t ask questions anyway, she would wait until after the court session.
Yang Xian knew that Mianmian had questions for him; gently stroking the little corgi in his lap, he looked down in silence.
The Divine Statue of Er Lang Shen had always been in the care of Daoist Master Qing Xu, who placed the statue in the empty hall of the temple. The statue, having absorbed the energy of human life throughout this time, had started to appear even more lifelike.
After all, it was the Divine Statue of Er Lang Shen, with the deity’s dog, Xiaotian Canine, lying underneath.
These past few days while Mianmian visited Huaguo Mountain, he had received Maomao’s reincarnation and since then, stayed beside the Divine Statue of Er Lang Shen.
Daoist Master Qing Xu asked him if he was really ready.
Of course he was ready. That’s why he had come to the statue, to retrieve all his strength.
"The court will now commence. Plaintiff, please come forward to speak."
At nine o’clock, the court officially started.
The Judge on the stand was an ordinary person, with Daoist Master Qing Xu as an associate judge beside him. This arrangement was made to avoid bias and prevent the general public from causing trouble by claiming the Supernatural Management Bureau had too much authority.
Two young Daoist priests from the temple escorted the plaintiff to the stand.
The lawyer stood by the plaintiff, waiting for her to make a statement.
The plaintiff was a middle-aged woman, looking worn and exhausted.
After she took her place in the plaintiff’s seat, her eyes filled with profound resentment: "My name is Ma Lanhua, and I used to live a blissful and fulfilling life with my husband and son. It all changed when my son started star chasing Hu Yingying; our family began to experience catastrophic shifts."
"At first, my son just bought merchandise and posters. We didn’t think anything of it."
"Until one day, he told us he had joined Hu Yingying’s fan group. Hu Yingying herself was also in the group, very kindly encouraging her fans to fill out a form, claiming she was recruiting assistants publicly. The original female assistant lacked the strength for carrying heavy objects when the team needed it."
"My son happily submitted his birth details very precisely, and then went to apply."
"After that day, he never returned. Later on, my husband was called over by them, saying he could also assist her. My husband found the reason to be far-fetched, but he still went, hoping to bring our son back."
"After he went there once, he repeatedly praised how wonderful Hu Yingying was. Although our son was brought back, father and son kept discussing Hu Yingying together."
"I felt like they were bewitched, so I phoned my mother. She recommended I go to the temple for protective charms, suspecting they had encountered an evil spirit."
"They refused to wear the charms. Then one day, after they returned, they looked in poor mental health. After sleeping one night... when I called them for dinner..." Ma Lanhua’s voice choked up, "They both died in their room, their faces turned black."
"I called the police immediately. After the police arrived, the medical examiner stated that they died suddenly, and because they died at home, it couldn’t be proven to be murder. The case was hastily closed, but I wasn’t satisfied. I wanted to seek help but couldn’t find any, and strange things were happening at home. Fortunately, the protective charms worked, and I was unharmed."
"From that day on, I’ve been hiding in Shifang Temple, waiting for an opportunity."
"I’m grateful to Little Auntie for finally giving me the chance. Now I can accuse Hu Yingying of murder!! She’s a demoness, she killed my husband and my son!"
Ma Lanhua wept uncontrollably.
Mianmian, listening to all this, had red-rimmed eyes too.
With Hu Yaoyao residing in Hu Yingying’s body, the wrongs committed by Hu Yaoyao couldn’t be seen on Hu Yingying. She couldn’t save those already harmed by Hu Yaoyao, but now, all she could do was help bring Hu Yaoyao to justice.
