Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 565 - 564: Believe that your Aunt will find happiness!
Chapter 565: Chapter 564: Believe that your Aunt will find happiness!
"The evidence is now conclusive," the Judge banged the gavel, "Does the defense attorney have anything else to say?"
"No."
The attorney representing Hu Yingying had taken the case out of humanitarian duty, merely going through the motions. He defended Hu Yingying out of professional sincerity, but deep down he also knew that Hu Yingying was the culprit. There was no escaping that fact.
"Very well, we will proceed with the discussion in court, and then announce the verdict for Hu Yingying and Hu Yaoyao! Court is adjourned for 20 minutes."
The court recess for discussion was part of the procedure, a necessary step to serve as a model for other cases requiring a trial.
Who among the workers doesn’t enjoy a break?
This Judge was especially fond of the recess period during court adjournments, as during discussions all he needed to do was summarize everyone’s opinions. Any extra time could be spent doing something else.
With the court adjourned, Hu Yingying and Hu Yaoyao didn’t dare make any rash moves. With so many powerful beings present, any impetuous action would only hasten their demise.
During the recess, people could talk, but the jurors from the crowd still feared speaking up.
They looked around sneakily, and some even daringly tried to use their mobile phones to snap photos of Cui Yu and the others, hoping to share what they saw with friends and family. However, although they pressed the shutter button aiming at the characters they wanted to capture, all that was shared was a blurry greenish blob.
[Damn, I can’t take photos of the Judges and spectral Marshals.]
[Same here, what’s going on? Do these Fairies come with a photo-blocking feature or something?]
[You can take photos of Uncle Xuan Wu, though. The live-stream camera is pointed right at him, and you can take screenshots at will.]
Amidst discussions from all quarters, #FairiesBlockPhotos# surged on the trending searches.
When netizens from Dragon Country saw the trend, they clicked in to find out that today a supernatural court had convened? The news spread like wildfire, growing more sensational, shocking foreigners who started searching to find out what was happening.
Then the weird thing happened: once these posts got circulated abroad, the keywords would get blocked—quite peculiar.
Foreign netizens became even more curious about the events in Dragon Country, but they just couldn’t see anything. When asking their Dragon Country friends, the latter were unwilling to share.
At this point, a netizen who had migrated to Dragon Country and had a Dragon Country ID card spoke up: [My former compatriots, do not despair, if you don’t trust Little Auntie, naturally you can’t see the crux of the matter.]
[I trust Little Auntie! I can see it! Trusting Little Auntie brings happiness!]
Charlie was also following these events.
He should be considered the first foreigner willing to befriend Mianmian.
To verify if people from his country really couldn’t see the live-stream and the posts, he even conducted a random experiment. The result was, the average person really couldn’t see anything!
"Wow, but I can see," Charlie watched the entire live-stream and also successfully saw the Ghost Gods of Dragon Country’s Underworld, and he mused silently, "Our country’s mythological figures aren’t bad, but Dragon Country’s are just so distinctive."
Charlie had no plans to tell others that he could see.
There’s too much to consider between nations, and him, the richest man in America, appearing too close to Dragon Country would be disrespectful to the people under him.
Charlie looked at the live-stream screen, at Mianmian being held by Cui Yu, and felt an itch to hold her.
He too wanted to hold Little Auntie, the cutest child in the world! Sadly, he was too busy to go to Dragon Country right now.
"Is it my turn for a hug yet?"
At the courtroom, Zhong Kui had the same idea as Charlie.
He stretched out his large palm, like a fan, toward Cui Yu: "You’ve held her long enough, let me have a turn."
Was Cui Yu the type who was reluctant to let others hold Mianmian? Indeed, he was.
He flatly refused and walked over to sit in the jurors’ chairs. Once seated, he turned his head and politely greeted Uncle Xuan Wu.
Uncle Xuan Wu was busy surfing the internet.
He had indeed gone to the sea to get a pearl and then sold it directly to the Su Family in exchange for a mobile phone. The phone was a special model made by Su Chenzhou, the same type as Mianmian’s little phone, with better performance than other phones on the market.
With the mobile phone, Uncle Xuan Wu felt indifferent about something like the court trial; he was present merely to show face for Mianmian.
Cui Yu greeted him, but Uncle Xuan Wu didn’t hear a thing as his ears were plugged with wireless earbuds.
To avoid being disturbed by the outside world, he even activated a Magic Array to shield himself, unable to hear any sound from outside.
"Uncle Xuan Wu is playing a game," Mianmian explained for Uncle Xuan Wu, "He got into King’s Glory yesterday and really likes it. He’s been playing all night long."
Cui Yu remained silent.
This ancestor had woken up not so long ago and was already so in touch with the times? And now he’d taken up gaming?
He couldn’t help thinking of some young ghosts in the Underworld clamoring for their network department to develop games suitable for Hell’s little ghosts...
"Are games really that fun?" Cui Yu asked curiously.
Mianmian nodded, "They are really fun, you know. In games, you can have many lives, and if you die, you can be revived. Killing someone isn’t really killing, so it feels very rewarding."
"But you can’t get too addicted to it. Uncle Xuan Wu is already an ancestor, so addiction isn’t an issue for him, but if young people keep playing all the time, they’ll neglect their duties."
"My sixth great-nephew mentioned that my two great-great-nephews used to sneak up every night to play games all night long, and then they ended up in the hospital. There are many people who give up everything just to play games; they have no self-control."
After listening to Mianmian’s examples, Cui Yu pondered for a while and decided not to allow access to gaming software.
If the ghosts in the Underworld all got busy with gaming, what if they no longer wished to be reborn?
Thinking this way, he realized that now the Underworld could access the internet and watch the live-streams from the mortal world—it seemed they were already on the verge of becoming addicted. A regulation needed to be established, such as limiting the time ghosts spend online.
Seeing Cui Yu frowning, Mianmian reached out her little hand to stroke his eyebrows, and in a milky voice she asked, "Uncle Cui, what are you thinking about?"
Cui Yu shared his concerns, and Zhong Kui next to him rubbed his nose, looking somewhat sheepish.
When Cui Yu mentioned ghosts getting addicted to the internet, Zhong Kui admitted that he had been quite addicted himself recently. Seriously, those short videos were quite addictive. If it wasn’t for his duty to judge souls, he wouldn’t even want to go to work!
"Don’t we have eighteen levels of Hell?" Mianmian began to offer Cui Yu her suggestions, "Actually, it would be good if we could modify the rules of punishment in Hell. Some mistakes that people used to make are no longer committed today, so we could change them to something else. For example, for ghosts who neglect their duties due to internet addiction, we could create a special Hell for them."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Kui shuddered.
If the Underworld enacted that law, he’d have to reconsider his phone playtime.
Otherwise, what if he, a Judge, ended up being punished in Hell? How embarrassing would that be?
