The warden who guards the witches

"This is... Veronica's trial?" Aiden reacted.

"Yes, this scene appears most often in her broken dreams." Feier was sitting next to him, handing over a paper bag full of popcorn.

Aiden didn't take it and eat it. He was still not sure whether the succubus would take the opportunity to tease him. Maybe when he was eating in this dream, he was hugging the pillow in the infirmary and chewing on it in reality.

This is a very strange trial. The judge, prosecutor and jury members are all giants over three meters tall. These giants have no eyes and ears, and their facial features only have noses and huge mouths. They look very strange. .

There were only two living people in the auditorium, and the other seats were filled with puppets without facial features. After the judge pronounced the verdict, the puppets' hands seemed to be lifted up by invisible threads and they began to applaud.

"Death penalty! Death penalty! Death penalty!" The puppets shouted in unison, repeating the judge's verdict - they had no throats or mouths, but they still shouted out, as if there was a transparent puppeteer behind each puppet. , are speaking together in ventriloquism.

"Why do these people look so strange?" Aiden looked around.

"This is her dream. Dreams are inherently weird. The images of these characters evolved based on the impressions of these people in her subconscious." Mayfair replied while eating popcorn.

"Then what's going on with her?" Aiden pointed to the dock again.

A little girl with wolf ears and a striking resemblance to Veronica was standing in the dock, looking around helplessly, her eyes filled with tears.

"Many people will dream about themselves as children when they feel insecure." Mayfair explained calmly, "In their memories, childhood is their most vulnerable period. Once they experience the feeling of helplessness or grievance as adults, They will associate that feeling with memories from their childhood.”

After listening to Mayfair's explanation, Aiden understood a little bit.

This is the impression that the trial left in Veronica's mind: in this trial, the prosecutor who accused her, the judge and the jury who tried her were all giants she could not resist, these giants were blind and deaf, see He couldn't see the facts and couldn't listen to her excuses.

The audience were all stupid puppets. They cheered for the ending of "the evil werewolf trooper was brought to justice", but they did not know that they were deceived and manipulated.

And she herself, even though she was born with the tyrannical power of a pure-blooded werewolf, is still a weak and helpless little girl on the opposite side of the entire society.

"Death penalty! Death penalty! Death penalty! Death penalty!"

the judge, jury, prosecutor, and puppets in the gallery shouted in unison, holding out a hand in a thumbs-down gesture.

In the past, when the bad custom of slave gladiatorial combat still existed, the audience would collectively vote on the life and death of the loser after a death fight. Thumbs up meant that they allowed the loser to live, and thumbs down urged the winner to execute the loser. .

Veronica opened her mouth to cry in grievance, but no sound came out of her throat. It was like an invisible barrier covered her, blocking out all the sounds she made.

The whole court shouted for her to die, but she could only wave her hands comically and open her mouth in vain, as if she was acting in a silent movie.

Aiden watched this absurd scene quietly. In reality, countless people are afraid of Veronica, who is a pure-blood werewolf. Her violence and tyrannical power make both prison guards and prisoners afraid of her. Want to know Her werewolf folk and fellow members feel similarly.

However, in Veronica's own subconscious, everything was reversed. Everyone here wanted to kill her, but she was unable to resist at all.

But Aiden is still very cautious: "You can't conclude that she is innocent based on this alone, right? I have seen many prisoners with twisted minds. They insist that their criminal behavior is justified and believe that legal trials are a kind of persecution for them." "

"However, I saw many scenes in her dreams, but I couldn't find any that were related to the scene of her murder. Since she was so concerned about her death sentence, how could she not have any deep feelings about her murder? What about your impression? This is abnormal." Fei'er raised a finger with determination and used magic to conjure a detective's hat and pipe, "So there is only one truth, she was wronged!"

"Okay, I understand what you want to express." Aiden nodded thoughtfully, "Let's lift the illusion."

Faile snapped her fingers, and Aiden's consciousness returned to reality from the illusion in the blink of an eye. At this time, Flanda opened the door from outside and came in to salute him: "Warden!"

"What did you ask?" Aiden reacted and turned around.

"Their confessions during the first interrogation didn't match up at all, so I asked again. Here is the transcript." Flanda handed over the transcript respectfully.

Aiden flipped through it quickly. Both Anna and Catherine's initial confessions pointed the finger at Veronica, but many of the details were contradictory and obviously problematic - but it is understandable that Veronica came out halfway. For them, it was a completely unexpected situation. From being beaten up by Veronica to being detained by the riot squad, they had no chance to deal with it.

Then when they were interrogated by Flanda for the second time, their confessions became slightly more credible. They admitted to blackmailing Fei'er. Most of the details were consistent with what Veronica and Fei'er said. The only contradiction was that they accused each other of being the main culprit in blackmailing Fei'er, and they were just accomplices who were coerced.

"These two guys are really righteous people." Aiden smiled sarcastically and returned the transcript to Flanda. "Both of them will be put in solitary confinement for ten days, and their treatment level will be reduced to the lowest level. The blackmail case will be filed separately. Congratulate them on the extension of their sentences."

"I see, then what about the death row prisoner... Veronica?" Flanda asked cautiously. After realizing that she almost wrongly accused Veronica because of her arbitrary decision, her attitude became cautious.

"Put her in solitary confinement for half a day, and send her back to her room tomorrow morning." Aiden immediately gave instructions.

"She...will also be put in solitary confinement?" Flanda hesitated.

"The two people who stopped the inmates in cell six can be considered as acting bravely and will not be held accountable, but the soap she threw on the floor caused other prisoners to slip and fall, so she should still bear some responsibility for this mistake. We must follow the rules." Aiden smiled.

"Okay, I understand. Then I will transfer someone from the night shift to watch her." Flanda responded.

"No, I will go myself." Aiden waved his hand, "It just so happens that I have something to ask her alone."
