When the malicious sins are exposed, when shadows emerge into the sunlight... even the purple-robed judge and Kao, who wished to remain uninvolved, couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Of course, they knew these people would run amok in Bottom City, but they never imagined these people could be so heinous.

Yun You recorded most of those people's crimes, and naturally, Yang Lie was included.

Although the little girl didn't mention anything about Tai Sui, even without looking at Tai Sui, Yang Lie, throughout the past year, directly or indirectly caused the deaths of thousands of miners.

This is a sin that cannot be washed away, no matter what.

For a moment, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts, even their breathing became heavy.

This information is incredibly detailed, and the evidence is irrefutable, impossible to deny.

The gray-haired girl Kai and the police commissioner exchanged glances, with shock and understanding flashing in their eyes.

Finally, the two understood why Yun You took such drastic measures.

Those deceased were not innocent at all; each one of them deserved to be slashed to pieces.

The old man in a suit also fell silent.

He came here to seek justice for the deceased named "Lieutenant Calvinson."

This person was his direct subordinate, as well as his student.

Even an Apprentice Death God should not be allowed to kill military personnel without any reason.

The old man was initially filled with fury.

But now, the anger had dissipated, leaving only shame.

He never imagined that the upright lieutenant in his eyes would indulge in the despicable act of human trafficking for profit.

As for the burly bear-like Kao and the purple-robed judge Zhou Changkong, they exchanged looks of helplessness.

The evidence Yun You presented was too perfect, an ideal "motive for murder."

But after thinking it over carefully, Zhou Changkong still found some exploitable "issues."

That is... although Yang Lie and his cohort's hands were stained with blood, the people they killed were invariably all background-less civilians, with not a single upper-class individual among them.

The lives of civilians are cheap; sporadically dying by the thousands or tens of thousands wouldn't cause much of a ripple in Nest City.

Thus, the judge briefly gathered his thoughts, then spoke again.

"Miss Death God, we understand your feelings, but this still does not comply with the legal regulations."

"Article 14 of Nest City's Security Law states that residents with assets exceeding 15 million, if they commit murder, should not be immediately executed but rather imprisoned and serve their sentence. They can also reduce their sentence by donating assets."

"No matter how many people they have killed, you have no reason to privately execute them. This is strictly prohibited..."

"I don't understand your so-called laws."

Yun You impolitely interrupted him.

"I haven't studied, nor have I attended school funded by enormous corporations, to toil over earning those certifications."

"I only know one thing—life for a life."

The little girl's gaze scanned the surroundings once again, making every judge and officer present unable to lift their heads.

"Since you can't make them pay with their lives, I don't mind being the executioner, making them... repay their blood debt."

Blood debt for a blood debt.

Yun You's voice wasn't loud, but it echoed like a thunderclap within people's hearts.

Indeed, life for a life... life for a life.

Humans are born into ranks—high, middle, and low. The mere pool of amniotic fluid they are born into largely determines their lifelong fate.

The only fairness is that everyone has only one life.

Thus, this eye-for-an-eye revenge, though never inscribed into the statute, is the most fundamental natural justice in everyone's heart.

At least in this regard, Yun You is not wrong.

"Life for a life; Miss is right."

The old man in a suit sighed deeply, as if he had made some sort of resolution, then straightened his back, speaking in a deep voice, "Calvinson ruined tens of thousands of families. In both emotion and logic, his death is deserved. Had I known the truth sooner, I certainly would have made the same decision as Miss."

"I hereby declare on behalf of the military that we will no longer pursue Lieutenant Calvinson's death, and consider this beast's death an accident."

With the old man's statement, the long ponytail police commissioner quickly stepped forward to agree, saying, "I, on behalf of the police, also won't pursue Chief He's death."

"He... died from excessive drinking, having fallen in the bathroom, unrelated to Miss Death God."

Seeing the pair switching sides, Kao, who had always advocated helping Yun You evade guilt, became anxious, and rushed forward, saying, "But even with ample reasons, this is still a crime."

"And the most critical fact is that Yang Lie died at your hands."

"The organization stipulates that within Nest City, Apprentice Death Gods can spar with each other, but killing outside of 'duels' is strictly forbidden."

"Since it led to a death, I have the right to take you back for interrogation and submit you to the deceased's family."

"This does not require the consent of another investigator..."

"Now, follow me!"

Just moments ago, Kao privately contacted Yang Lie's friends.

These influential figures, upon hearing of Yang Lie's death, were furious and wanted to capture the culprit.

Because of this, they offered Kao hefty rewards hoping he could bypass Nest City's judicial system and deliver Yun You to them directly.

Thus, Kao was eager to trick Yun You into signing the confession, disguising himself as a caring senior to a comrade.

But now, seeing that the situation had spiraled beyond his control, he had no choice but to tear off the facade, using the organization's rule to forcibly take the little girl.

"Kao, you...!"

Kai was furious, about to intervene, but Kao returned a glare full of killing intent, seemingly saying...

"If you dare block my path, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The gray-haired girl's steps halted.

She knew Kao was stronger than her, and she understood that Kao absolutely had a reason and determination to act now.

Kai wanted to uphold justice, but at this moment, she felt powerless, forced to watch Kao inch closer to Yun You.

"What if I refuse to go with you?"

Yun You calmly asked, showing not a trace of fear in her eyes.

"Then I must apologize."

Kao stretched his limbs and replied coldly, "I will break your limbs and deliver you."

"Oh?"

Yun You raised her eyebrows and retorted, "Aren't you afraid I have a mentor?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Kao clenched his fist dismissively, "I'm Tier Three, my mentor is Tier Four. Even if you summon your teacher, or even your teacher's teacher, they can't protect you!"

Saying so, he reached out without hesitation, aiming to grab Yun You's head.

"Really?"

Yun You grinned and softly said, "And what if..."

"What if my mentor is named [Jing]?"

"Would he still be a nobody in your eyes?"

"..."

"..."

Stunned.

With the moment [Jing] was uttered, everyone at the scene froze, like lifeless wooden statues.

As if hearing a name that absolutely should not, and could not appear.

A name that, even though concealed for long, reverberates through the world, as thunderous as ever.
