I have a spaceship
Chapter 50 Devil's Trial
Reggie couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and couldn't help but question in his heart: "System! You said I was the reincarnation of a demon! So that's what you mean?! I thought it was some special profession, but I came to destroy the world?!"
The system hurriedly explained: "Don't listen to Li Ji's nonsense. In a broad sense, a third-level psychic like him is just a small fish. He knows nothing. The reincarnation of the demon is not as terrible as he said. It caused a natural disaster? I won't take the blame for this."
Reggie thought to himself: "What is the situation? You'd better explain it to me clearly."
The system said: "I also want to explain it to you now, but you still have to deal with Li Ji."
The system's words brought Reggie back to reality. He found that Li Ji was looking at him with a murderous look. Reggie couldn't help but swallow his saliva and smiled reluctantly: "General Li Ji, don't scare me. Even if I am the reincarnation of a demon, I can't destroy the Milky Way, right? Am I so bored?"

Li Ji suddenly laughed and said, "Reggie, don't be nervous. I'm just joking with you. The Milky Way hasn't seen a reincarnation of a demon for thousands of years. Now, the information about the reincarnation of demons can actually be regarded as rumors. Just listen to what I say as a story."
It was a joke, but Reggie always felt that Li Ji was really looking at whether he was a reincarnation of a demon. He didn't dare to relax and asked, "Thousands of years ago, there was a reincarnation of a demon in the Milky Way?"
Li Ji sat down on the sofa, his tone became casual, and said, "Well, but more than once, there were many times. After the last reincarnation of a demon, the various races in the Milky Way introduced a demon investigation bill and killed many people. So it has never appeared since then, but I don't know if it will appear in the future."
Reggie's heart tightened. The bill has been issued, which means that if someone is slandered as a demon, can't he be killed openly?
Reggie asked, "Does this law still exist?"
Li Ji shrugged and said, "Yes, but it is basically not applicable to current laws. Even if you suspect someone is a demon, you have to go through a strict review and investigation process, and finally the empire will execute the judgment. If you use lynching, slander and murder someone at will, you will be punished by the empire's laws. Even psychics cannot escape sanctions."
Hearing this, Reggie was completely relieved. As long as Li Ji can't kill me directly, I still have a chance to turn the tables.
However, Reggie still pretended to be very nervous on the surface. He said, "There should be no way to confirm 100% that someone is the reincarnation of the devil, right? I don't know how many good people have been wrongly killed by this devil investigation bill."
Li Ji nodded and said, "Yes, so although this bill has not been abolished, it has not been used for a long time."
Reggie deliberately said, "General Li Ji, why do you suspect that I am the reincarnation of the devil? Is it because I am too mature?"
Li Ji laughed again and said, "Reggie, you are very smart, not like a child, and this kind of intelligence is not pretended. The more you show your intelligence in this way, the more you are misled by your intelligence. Do you understand what I mean?"
Reggie was stunned. Of course he understood what Li Ji said, and it was this word that woke Reggie up. Simply put, the wisdom shown by Reggie in this meeting with Li Ji was too much. Maybe Reggie himself and Xiaoke didn't notice it, but in Li Ji's eyes, this was a huge sense of disharmony, and Li Ji's suspicion came from here.
Reggie was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer Li Ji, but his reaction made the problem clearer. Reggie really didn't know what to say now. Even if he knew that silence was more dangerous, he could only remain silent.
This battle without gunpowder had basically come to a conclusion. It was not about who was better in language, but that Li Ji had seen through Reggie, not Reggie's identity, but Reggie's secrets, which was very dangerous for Reggie.
And Reggie, now looking at Li Ji, still looked like a fog, not knowing what his purpose was.
If Reggie only thought of the third level, then Li Ji had already thought of the fifth level! This was the gap!
This old fox... is really an old fox! Reggie couldn't help cursing in his heart.
Finally, Li Ji stood up and spread his hands and said, "No matter what, Reggie, I still think highly of you. Maybe I'm just overthinking it. Maybe you are born so smart, but it's a pity that you don't have psychic talent. Otherwise, I would also like to accept you as my disciple. You two husband and wife work together, and you are both psychics. Many things should be twice as effective with half the effort."
Xiao Ke didn't quite understand the rest. When she heard the word husband and wife, her face turned red instantly, and she buried her head on the ground without even looking at the two people in front of her.
Reggie's mind was not on this aspect at the moment, and he just said: "General Li Ji, if you want, can you find a way to help me guide my psychic talent? I heard that ordinary people also have the opportunity to become psychics." Li Ji shook his head and said: "I don't recommend doing this. It's not that it's a thankless task, but the reincarnations of demons have one thing in common - they don't have psychic talents, and they can't guide psychic talents after birth. Of course, it doesn't mean that people who can't guide psychic talents are definitely demons, but you don't want to increase your suspicion, right?" Li Ji's words were like a heavy hammer, hammering Reggie's heart, as if Li Ji already knew that Reggie was the reincarnation of the devil and wanted to help him cover up, or for his own good.
Finally, he exchanged a few meaningless words with Li Ji. Li Ji explained the teaching, and the two left Li Ji's office. Hela's female secretary was still waiting outside the door.
On the way back to the Barrier Mining Company building, Reggie thought to himself: "System, can you explain it to me now?"
After a long silence, the system said: "I am not sure whether you still believe me. If you don't believe me, what I say is meaningless."
The system's words made Reggie feel challenged for the first time after crossing. How can I get a system and consider whether to believe her? Isn't it written like this in other novels?
Reggie said speechlessly: "I don't care whether the reincarnation of the devil will destroy the galaxy. What I care about now is whether I will be arrested and tried as a devil, and then sentenced to death in the end! Where can I appeal for justice?"
The system said: "You don't have to worry about this. The empire has not conducted a devil trial for at least two thousand years. Even if you are seriously suspected of being a devil, at most you will be sentenced to life imprisonment. Of course, no means will be used to extend your natural life."
