Chapter 568: 183. “Science” Guess_3
“Alright, Bella. Lead the way, please.” Noland Lee gestured to Denise Green to follow him and Bella.
The three of them cast Flight Spells and flew towards the hotel suite rented by Mabel.
It was quite awkward. Due to the sudden incident and the urgency of the situation, the confrontation between the Enforcement Wizard and Captain Berkeley took place in the hotel suite where Mabel stayed.
Mabel only had time to inform Philia and the other Wizard Students to leave, she had no time to pack her belongings.
All her clothes, cosmetics, and daily necessities were destroyed during the confrontation.
When Lee arrived at the scene, he recognized Mabel, who was standing next to the ruins, holding her head with her right hand in a daze, at first glance.
When he greeted her, she muttered something about how the magic exercise books that the students had done all got burned before she had a chance to correct them.
From what she said, it seemed that Philia and the others might have to rewrite their magic exercise books…
Noland Lee “mourned” half-seconds for Philia and Betty Davis and landed beside the ruins.
Here appeared a 20-square-meter circular three-dimensional array. In the center of the array was Captain Berkeley suspended horizontally in the air.
The captain was injured during violent resistance and is now in a coma.
But this did not hinder the progress of the interrogation.
The Ulnas Circle claims to be a civilized nation of wizards. Cruel and vile practices, such as reading memory, torturing souls, and erasing minds, would violate Ulnas law.
Even Wizard Enforcers cannot do that.
But well, wizards who know how to take advantage of situations will always figure out ways to bypass the law.
The array called “Beautiful Dream” has become a powerful tool for the Pure Light Court to interrogate Wizard Criminals.
Anyone who enters this array will fall into a slumber and experience an incredibly realistic and beautiful dream.
Like Captain Berkeley, for example.
In reality, his collaboration with the suspicious individuals was interrupted.
In the beautiful dream, his collaboration with the suspicious individuals will continue as normal.
He will rely on imagination and the information he knows to complete the follow-up of his collaboration in the dream.
Scenes in the dream, except for a small part set by the array creator, all the remaining contents, such as scenes, characters, dialogues, and actions, are all woven from Berkeley’s subconscious memory.
This kind of array involving dreams will display the most beautiful wishes deep in a person’s heart.
For a Wizard Criminal like Berkeley, the most beautiful thing he longs for in his heart is bound to be a smooth collaboration with suspicious individuals.
Everything he sees and hears in the dream will appear on a floor mirror through the main perspective of the magic screen.
At the moment when Lee arrived at the scene, the law enforcement wizards, including Grand Arbitrator Paredes, were standing in a row focused on the dream scene on the mirror.
After Noland’s brief greetings to Paredes, he took Denise to stand obediently at the side, watching the content of the dream.
In the dream scene, the dreamy Berkeley was cooperating with suspicious individuals to slaughter the passengers on the magic ship.
They divided the passengers into two groups.
One group was killed on the spot. This group mainly consisted of weak wizards and ordinary people.
The other group was shackled by several “Imprisonment Collars”: one around the neck, one on each wrist, and one on each ankle.
Under such heavy bondage, the instructors, including “Mabel,” were sealed from casting spells. The suspect injected them with a sedative and locked them up together in a separate cabin.
By the time the dream had progressed this far, law enforcement wizards surrounded the magic screen with no leniency for Berkeley.
He had gone against his promise to protect the crew, betrayed his oath as a member of Hotams, and desecrated his sacred duty as a captain.
Based on his actions in the “Beautiful Dream,” it would be no problem to call him a butcher.
Of course, what happened in the dream cannot be used as a basis for judging Berkeley in reality, it only affects the referee’s perception of him.
But why did Berkeley give up his status and identity to cooperate with the suspicious individuals?
What kind of remuneration did they promise him, making him willingly raise his butcher knife to the passengers?
The answer may be revealed in the dream.
After the passengers in the dream were either killed or imprisoned, Berkeley cooperated with the suspicious individuals in a bizarre operation.
In the dream scene, the 17 suspicious individuals – the same 17 Synthetic Humans killed by Noland Lee – stood in the center of the open-air square of the magic ship, hand in hand, forming a circle.
Their bodies split in half, becoming crimson humanoid petals, exposing their synthetic flesh and integrated modules.
The reaction furnaces in their chests entered into overdrive, emitting sharp and piercing roars.
The umbrella-shaped metal antennae in their mouths extended out, pointing to the center of the ship’s magical dome and aiming at the starry sky above.
Berkeley cooperated with their work. He opened the magical dome of the ship and summoned a huge umbrella-shaped antenna floating vertically in the air.
After a series of operations, with a muffled buzz, the invisible interstellar communication was officially opened.
About three minutes later, the Star Filtering Net shining brightly directly above the magic ship was cut open by a dazzling light column, revealing an impeccably smooth Outer Space Gap.
Outside this Outer Space Gap, a massive disc-shaped metal object that blotted out the sky and sun slowly approached the gap, trying to enter the Wizard’s World.
As the circular object approached, a huge pattern of “claw gripping planet” gradually became clear on the external armor.
As the plan unfolded, Berkeley suddenly convulsed violently in the magic circle, blood spurting from his mouth, and his head burst with a loud bang.
The dream scene ended here.
The Magic Vision on the floor mirror was emptied, and the spotless mirror surface reflected the solemn expressions of the onlookers.
