The emerald green reagent spilled all over the carpet when the kitten kicked its legs. The emerald green water droplets scattered all over the carpet. The water droplets evaporated extremely quickly.

Yue An found that the concentration of the catmint reagent produced by the military science class was completely different from that produced by the Research Department.

It was thousands of miles higher than the Research Department's!

The air was filled with the strong smell of catmint. It was so strong that it was as if the entire room was filled with catmint.

Yue An couldn't help but recall the fear of a group of nine-tailed cats in a flower and bird market surrounded by catmint.

He was sprawled on the cat tree, lying there softly with his paws wide open and his tail drooping down. He squinted his eyes and pressed his face against the soft cushion of the cat tree. He looked so small and pitiful and helpless.

In any era, the group that acted the fastest, thought the most, and was the best at stirring people's hearts would always be the group of people in the media industry who clearly knew how to make big news from which angle.

Before Yue An could recover from the effects of the first mouthful of high-concentration catmint, the media on the other side was like a firecracker whose fuse had been ignited, exploding everywhere.

What could make a precious ancient Earth treasure so fragile that he had to rely on hallucinogens to relieve his mental stress?

What had Yue An experienced in the Research Department?

The Marshal of the Empire had sued several people in the Research Department's secret laboratory to the Supreme Court. Was it because he had spied on some infuriating secret?

There were all kinds of speculations about Yue An's current situation all over the Star Web.

People within the Empire of Sintes were not the only ones who were interested in the news of the senior management of the Empire's secret laboratory being overturned.

Many foreign media were also paying attention to the news. The Empire of Sintes was one of the top forces in the modern era. Almost everyone in the galaxy would not easily let go of the big news, especially if it was related to Ji Xiuyun.

The number of viewers in Yue An's live broadcast room had reached a new high, breaking the 100 billion mark, and was still rising.

Ping Tai's side had to work overtime to prevent the server from collapsing.

The court session of the empire's highest court was set at 10 AM Sintes Imperial Capital Time.

The time difference between the major galaxies was huge, but this didn't stop people from staying up all night waiting for the big news.

The trial process of the Empire's Supreme Court was completely open to the public.

The people who chose to sue in the Supreme Court would also have to sign some agreements. The various clauses were very detailed. Before the official opening of the court, the court would keep a certain amount of privacy and evidence confidential according to the reasonable requests of both parties.

Ji Xiuyun was absolutely against the release of the details of the experiment.

Even if this would cause the jury to misunderstand the defendant's guilt, the sentence might be reduced to a certain extent. Ji Xiuyun did not agree to release the contents of the case to the public.

After all, this was related to the image of all the researchers and the trust of the public. In any case, it was inappropriate to disclose the details to the public.

The Marshal Ji was quietly waiting for the court to begin. The two generals who came with him occasionally whispered to each other.

The requirements of the Empire's Supreme Court were very strict. After entering the waiting room, all of their communication devices were blocked. They could only choose to wait quietly.

The lawyer next to them was silently and solemnly looking through the materials, preparing for the tough battle that was to come.

Yue An wasn't clear about the human legal process of any era, and he didn't care much about it.

He didn't even turn his head to look at the comments on his live broadcast. Instead, he lay on the cat tree for a whole hour.

It wasn't until he heard the hour in the room that he slowly got up. With a very regretful heart, he opened the window of the room to let the smell out.

On the holographic projection next to him, Ji Xiuyun had already appeared in front of the camera.

Today's Ji Xiuyun was completely different from the one Yue An usually saw.

He was dressed in a neat military uniform, and the medals that symbolized the glory he had obtained through many years of expeditions were quietly and obediently adorned with a black cloak. His military cap was neat, and his expression was calm and cold. His dark eyes were like the quiet and boundless universe.

— — Just like the time when he received the number of the communication channel on the desolate planet and sent out a communication, the silent and oppressive momentum almost penetrated the holographic projection and rushed to his face.

Yue An wagged his tail. He felt that although Ji Xiuyun was a little ugly, his strength and momentum were simply hard to find another human being.

Seeing that the main show was finally about to begin, Little Furball, who stubbornly believed that the dream lover of hundreds of millions of young men and women in the empire was ugly, walked back from the ventilated window and pulled out the box of snacks that Marshal Ji had packed the night before.

Marshal Ji didn't buy a housework robot. He didn't come back to live very often. On one hand, he basically turned on the dust-free mode. On the other hand, his parents didn't like to use robots.

It was said that sharing the housework could make the family more harmonious. Ji Xiuyun didn't feel the specific effect, but he still very well inherited the good family tradition of doing the housework by himself.

Yue An opened the box, jumped in, and took out the snacks one by one.

The comments in the livestream didn't stop. Previously, they were crazily condemning the research department. Now, they were crazily throwing gifts.

It was as if they were going to directly overturn the Jinjiang platform's server and blow up Yue An's backend balance.

Judging from the comments, they seemed to feel that the humans had done something wrong. As the same race, they hoped to make up for it.

Yue An opened the snack box with his mouth and turned to look at the comments. The moment he retracted his gaze, he turned back to look at the comments again.

[Sob, sob, sob, Xiao Yu An, sorry qaq]

[Most humans are good people. Xiao Yu An, don't ignore us q ^ q]

[Xiao Yu An, look at us qvq. It's not good to take too many hallucinogens.]

[Xiao Yu An, I'll give you a little heart and wallet. Don't take hallucinogens. If you take too many of them, you'll go crazy. _ (: 3 」 ∠) _]

[It's also harmful to the body. Aren't hallucinogens listed as a special medicine for extreme mental illnesses …]

[Sob!!!

Qaq sad!!]

[Just eat snacks. Don't take hallucinogens. _ (: 3 」 ∠) _]

[Xiao Yu An, Xiao Yu An, look at me. Let me recommend you some delicious snacks!!]

Yue An: "…"

Yue An: "??"

Yue An was confused.

What the hell?

He lowered his head and looked at the snacks under his paws. Are these hallucinogens?

Aren't they the snacks that he usually eats?

Yue An turned his head back in confusion and meowed at the camera.

[Meow, meow, meow, meow!]

[Meow, meow!]

[Meow!]

[Xiao Yu An, we're all good people!!

Don't misunderstand us because of the research department.]

Yue An saw this comment. Although he did not understand why the other party said this, he still meowed at the camera.

On the screen belonging to Ji Xiuyun, everyone was already seated. The court was about to start.

Yue An hugged the snacks in his arms and munched on them as he lay on the sofa. The holographic projection of the court was in front of him.

He could not get any more comfortable.

The Supreme Court of the Empire did not handle many cases. However, every court session was a long tug-of-war.

They had to confirm a crime repeatedly and repeatedly check witnesses and material evidence to ensure that it was absolutely true. Therefore, their trial efficiency was not high. However, there had never been a case that was unjust, false, or wrong.

The Supreme Court of the Empire was famous for its high credibility in the entire Galaxy.

In the history of the Empire of Sintes, the Supreme Court of the Empire once tried an emperor and ruled that the emperor lost the case. This led to the abdication of the emperor and the ascension of a new emperor.

In everyone's eyes, the Supreme Court of the Empire of Sintes was the absolute justice and the absolute truth.

There were too many helplessness and dark secrets in this world. The Supreme Court of the Empire of Sintes was like a beam of light that supported the efforts of those who were wronged at the bottom.

This was also one of the reasons why both the military and the government of the Empire of Sintes did not dare to act recklessly.

Because once you were brought to the Supreme Court of the Empire of Sintes, it was either you die or I die.

Ji Xiuyun's side was prepared to throw in some heavy evidence.

This was because the more serious the crime they charged at the beginning, the more intense the resistance of the other party would be. This would also cause the jury and the public's impression of the defendant to become extremely bad.

They could not slowly add up the charges bit by bit. In the beginning, they could use weak charges that did not constitute the death penalty to make the other party willingly plead guilty. This would give the jury and the public the feeling that "the defendant has a good attitude in pleading guilty and has already realized his crimes and is hopeful of correcting them".

The people in the Imperial Research Office were all top talents. When ordinary people looked at top talents, most of them had a filter on them.

However, anyone who had worked in the field of public opinion would not make such a stupid mistake.

Therefore, on the first day of the trial, the prosecution stated that the defendant's crime was illegal experiments.

The scope of illegal experiments was quite broad.

Within this broad scope of experiments, Ji Xiuyun's lawyer took the lead and brought out the most untouchable crime.

Cloning.

Cloning technology was not a very difficult technology.

In this day and age where life science was rapidly developing, it was very easy to create cloning technology. It was so easy that even graduates who had not yet entered a formal research institute could do it.

However, the entire galaxy had always been against this technology. No matter what, no one was allowed to do it. This was because in the era of the big universe, there was a clause in the Interstellar Code that clearly stated that this technology was not allowed to be experimented with under any conditions. Violators would be sentenced to death.

Over thousands of years, there were many researchers who did not believe in heresy and insisted on challenging the authority of the Code. In the end, they all failed miserably. This gave the articles in the Code a lot of prestige.

The jury and the audience watching the live broadcast were shocked.

The reason why this technology was banned was very simple.

No one could accept that there was another person who looked exactly like them in this world. Just thinking about it, if one came home one day and found that their home was occupied by another person who looked exactly like them, it would be an extremely frightening thing.

Thinking about it deeply, it was difficult to define the value of those artificially created life forms.

Labor, creativity, human trafficking, and even marking these life forms as inferior and unscrupulous animals could happen.

What if one day, they suddenly saw a slave who had the same face and genes as them?

No one could accept that.

Anyone with a brain knew very well that if such a situation really happened, society would fall into chaos.

Without the restraint of thought and morality, humans would become no different from beasts.

The articles in the Interstellar Code were to suppress these thoughts that lost their basic respect for life due to the rapid development of technology.

But now, the researchers that they had always admired and worshipped as the light of human progress were the first to break this shackle!

This was not allowed.

Absolutely not!

Researchers were different from ordinary people like them. They had superhuman wisdom and amazing foresight.

From a ideological level, some ordinary people would even admit that excellent researchers were better than ordinary people.

However, this did not mean that they could arbitrarily break the taboo that no one was allowed to touch.

Humans had a very keen sense of danger.

This perception made the audience and jurors who knew about the situation very anxious.

Yue An watched the people from the research department fiercely refuting the accusation. It seemed like they did not inform the lawyer they hired about this. At this moment, the lawyer's expression was very interesting. He was glaring at his employer as if he wanted to eat them up.

Ji Xiuyun came prepared. He took out the evidence one by one. Whatever the other side refuted, they would hand over the evidence.

Against the thirteen intelligent races with special talents, the Clones.

Against Ji Xiuyun and other intelligent life forms, illegal experiments.

Against …

The charges came one after another.

Even the memory chips of the robots that were responsible for the mechanical and complicated basic experimental operations in the laboratory on the first floor were displayed as physical evidence.

The specific content was requested by the prosecution. Only the outline of the articles was revealed. The specific content was not disclosed to the jury or other audience members.

The highest court of the Empire guaranteed that the evidence and witnesses were absolutely true.

The prosecution's lawyer spent two hours complaining about the crimes committed by several people in the laboratory on the first floor of the Research Department.

During this time, Ji Xiuyun's expression was very cold. He was not shaken by the fact that the experiment involved him.

Yue An saw that in his live broadcast room, the comment bubbles were refreshing so fast that he could not see them clearly.

Seeing the long list of various exclamations and a lot of blocked swear words, he could clearly feel the excitement of the crowd.

It was not just the Empire of Sintes. The entire galaxy was in an uproar.

The name of the Silver Blade of the Empire of Sintes did indeed make the nearby countries tremble in fear. However, other than the country that had a galaxy wiped out by Ji Xiuyun, the other countries and the Federation expressed their sadness that the successful general had been taken away for illegal experiments when he was young.

The Empire of Sintes was not the only one who valued an SS-level gene body.

If Ji Xiuyun wanted to commit treason one day, many places would want to take him in. This was also why the Empire's government dared to make a move on Marshal Kevin, but did not dare to interfere too much with Ji Xiuyun.

The first day of the trial lasted only four hours. Three of the hours were spent on the case statement and the prosecution's accusation.

After this session, before the defense lawyer could say more than a few words, the angry people in the jury seats could no longer control themselves.

That's our hero!

The hero who took down a galaxy for us and awed everyone!

How dare you???

Ji Xiuyun could not return home for many years. He had been wandering the universe eradicating Interstellar Pirates. He constantly refreshed his undefeated record to show his strength.

What was it for??

It was for the peace of the Empire!

It was to intimidate those neighbors who had bad intentions!

How dare you!

In the jury seats, the people were so angry that their seats were about to collapse!

This was not the first time they had seen such a scene in the Empire's Supreme Court.

Because cases that were accepted by the Supreme Court were basically major and unjust cases, it was not uncommon for the jury to explode or faint from anger during the presentation of the case.

Yue An looked at the group of jurors who were about to jump up from their seats and rush to the defendant's seat to beat him up. He sighed at how rich human emotions were. Then, he reached out his fluffy little paw and pulled out a bag of snacks from the box under the sofa. He opened it with his teeth and ate while watching the show.

Yue An's round blue eyes stared unblinkingly at the jurors who were about to break through the security. If it were not for the experienced Supreme Court's wise decision to remove all potential murder weapons before the jurors were seated, the person standing in the defendant's seat would probably be dead on the spot.

The jurors were not allowed to wear heavy accessories and were only allowed to wear soft clothes.

They were not allowed to wear high heels or hard-soled shoes. They had to wear soft ones!

This was all to prevent the defendant or the prosecution from being smashed to death by the angry jury with their accessories or shoes before the trial was over.

Ji Xiuyun and his two Corps Commanders stood majestically in the midst of the chaos, as if they were three statues.

However, their calmness did not appease the angry jurors. The jurors looked at them and thought of something, causing them to explode even more.

The scene was very chaotic. The security guards were unable to push the angry jurors back to their seats. The Supreme Court had no choice but to announce the end of the first day of the trial.

Yue An watched the holographic projection disappear. He finished the last of his snacks and turned off his live stream. He ran to the entrance and squatted down.

When Ji Xiuyun returned, his emotions had returned to normal. He was even a little excited.

The anger of the jurors in the courtroom and the ugliness of the defendants clearly pleased him.

"Yue An." Marshal Ji walked in and was not surprised to see Yue An who was squatting on top of the low cabinet at the entrance waiting for him.

He put the things in his hands on the cabinet.

"Good food," he said.

Yue An tilted his head. After confirming that Ji Xiuyun was in a good mood, he jumped down from the low cabinet and climbed onto the dining table. He could not wait to use his little paws to slap the table.

"Meow!"

Marshal Ji walked in with a lunchbox. He placed it on the dining table and opened it. He took out a small stack of pastries and placed them in front of him. Then he pushed the rest of the pastries to Yue An.

Yue An moved his head closer. Just as he was about to eat, he suddenly remembered what Ji Xiuyun had said before he left today.

The snow-white furball looked up at Marshal Ji who had already placed the fork on the table. He turned around and jumped off the dining table. He opened his mouth and bit the cushion on the large sofa.

Marshal Ji looked at his cat who had suddenly acted up. His expression was still very calm.

Yue An pulled the two-meter-long cushion to the side of the dining table. He let go of the cushion and meowed at Ji Xiuyun. Then he crawled under the cushion.

Ji Xiuyun looked at the small furball under the cushion. He poked the pastries on his plate with his fork.

Yue An moved around under the cushion. When he reached the middle of the cushion, he recalled the trick to turning into a human. Then he activated the spiritual energy flowing in his body.

"…"

"…"

"…"

Marshal Ji looked at the young man who stuck his head out from under the cushion. He was so shocked that he stabbed a huge hole in the dining table with his fork.
