Chapter 1: Garbage Star
Ge Xiu was arrested.
This explosive news spread throughout the interstellar at an almost terrifying speed, multiplying and spreading like a virus, occupying every still functioning smart light brain screen.
No one could believe that with this unpredictable whereabouts, no actual information other than his name, the most wanted criminal was actually arrested? !
How is it possible? !
At this moment, all eyes were focused on the Interstellar Referee on the edge of the Milky Way.
It is said that it was where Ge Xiu was held in secret.
————–
The presiding judge looked exhausted and battered, messages still pouring in his own private smart brain, at the same time he opened it a million copies of the same message have jumped out, the information from one thousand to tens of thousands of stars in the Milky Way’s families in power, the heavyweights of all spheres of life, each of them is secretly or explicitly, vaguely or straightforwardly, inquiring about the same person’s news, asking the same questions-
You must know that the name Ge Xiu represents not only the most dangerous wanted criminal and the reward amount of trillions of interstellar coins, but also the countless dangerous mysteries behind him, and the sinister mysterious fleet that has still been missing until now.
No matter which point is taken out alone, it would set off an unprecedented uproar in the entire galaxy.
Since this hot potato was delivered to him, the presiding judge’s private smart brain has crashed three times, and even the top processor that was urgently replaced has been on the verge of collapse.
Even he was transferred from the court for this reason and moved into a secret base in the galaxy in total secret. The reason being that only here is there equipment that can hold the wanted criminal firmly in check.
Fortunately, this torture is finally coming to an end.
–The jury made a decision two hours ago, and the result of Ge Xiu’s trial has just been delivered to his desktop.
The presiding judge took a deep breath slowly and subconsciously turned his head to look at the light screen suspended in mid-air not far away.
On the light screen, an all-round real-time monitoring picture of a room is displayed.
This narrow ten-meters-square cage is constructed of special metal, which can isolate any intensity of mental power from detecting penetration. Even the quantum laser with the highest known intensity in the interstellar cannon cannot penetrate it, not to mention the huge power grid wrapped outside. The level of accuracy and strength is sufficient to stop all fleet attempting to approach. Coupled with the fleet that has been urgently deployed and stationed in the surrounding area, this has become the safest place in the entire galaxy, where no one can approach and no one can escape.
And in this narrow and icy space was the most dangerous fearful figure in the entire interstellar: Ge Xiu.
However, strangely, he looked very…
ordinary through the monitor screen .
In the surveillance camera, the young man sat on the ground with his back leaning against the wall and knees bent. His figure was thin and slender. Large prison uniform hung on his thin shoulders, and he even looked a little empty.
Except for the blue-violet electric shock shackles tied to his wrists, this interstellar’s most wanted criminal did not seem to be much different from ordinary people.
Even the physical strength value is extremely mediocre. The appraisal report that has been released a few days ago showed that Ge Xiu has not received any degree of genetic optimalisation and modification and both physical strength and mental power level are a not outstanding B-level.
The only amazing thing is that he looks so beautiful.
The exquisite facial features and flawless skin are combined into an almost god-given face, beautiful like the deceptive spirit in ancient legends, even the star idols who are now madly sought after don’t look as good as him, making it impossible to connect him with the most dangerous wanted criminal in history.
The Ge Xiu in the surveillance screen closed his eyes tightly and his posture was relaxed and careless, not at all like a deprived of weapons death row prisoner in jail.
The presiding judge retracted his gaze, and a smart brain reminder came from his ear.
Time is up.
So he began to pronounce:
“Ge Xiu is now on trial, captain of “Leviathan” star pirates group and the mastermind of criminal groups who are accused of 33 crimes of the S-Class, 147 Class A offenses, 2538 charges of Class B ……”
In the closed and narrow prison, his voice reverberated among the cold metal walls, with high majesty and ruthlessness, counting down the condemned person’s crimes one by one.
At this time, Ge Xiu finally moved.
He opened his eyes in a daze, looked around sleepily for a while and then yawned.
–He was actually sleeping just now.
“…Are you denying guilt?” The presiding judge’s voice suddenly became severe.
Ge Xiu drooped down his eyelids and yawned lazily again, still with a hint of drowsiness, that showed he was not fully awake, in his voice and asked lazily: “Will you recite another crime that I don’t even remember?”
“Even if you don’t remember, if you end up waking up on the barren star alone, with no memory, you will not get rid of it. The crimes you committed are conclusive. The jury has made a decision and the result of the trial will be now announced:” the presiding judge’s voice was still cold and ruthless and there was no room for accommodation.
“According to imperial law, the prisoner Ge Xiu is now sentenced to 1156 years in a black prison, and his sentence cannot be reduced.”
The black prison, most secret prison in the entire galaxy, was designed for extremely dangerous criminals above Grade A. The history is almost the same as that of the Galaxy government. Such a long time, but no one has been released from it so far.
Ge Xiu curled up his lips boringly, and shrugged carelessly:
“…oh.”
His attitude was so casual, it almost made people wonder whether he understood the content of the trial.
The presiding judge’s voice couldn’t help but pause and he continued: “Or, you can also choose to enter the latest mandatory punishment and transformation system that has started to experiment, serve your sentence in the virtual world, and eliminate 1156 points of evil. You can get freedom. The time lapse ratio between the virtual world and the real world is 1,000 to 1, and your actual sentence will be greatly shortened.”
Hearing this, Ge Xiu lifted his eyelids and looked straight at the 24-hour continuous monitoring system above his head.
His eyes were sober.
There was a chilling scrutiny and contemplation inside.
The line his of sight plunged into the lens, drilled through the circuit, and penetrated the screen, as if it could directly cut the skin and pierce the skull, making people tremble subconsciously.
Like a flimsy blade, shining with a breathtaking cold light.
The moment one was subjected to it made them feel too cold.
The presiding judge’s heart suddenly jumped and for some reason he suddenly had the illusion of falling into the abyss.
At that moment, he seemed to have forgotten where the opponent was and he subconsciously shrank back, his shoulder blades hit the back of the chair before he suddenly woke up.
Ge Xiu laughed suddenly.
His sleepy and languid face seemed to come to life suddenly.
Under that beautiful almost inhuman appearance, there seemed to be an elusive madness deep in his eyes, the unpredictability vaguely appearing, with a dangerous and fatal attraction, deceptive and terrible, innocent and pure.
He spoke slowly:
“Of course it is the second one.”
He hardly hesitated, his voice was calm, but an uncontrollable excitement and eagerness crackled in the depths of his voice like electric sparks.
Even knowing that there are layers of protective measures that are impossible to penetrate between the two the presiding judge still felt cold behind his back.
He dared not delay and hurriedly pressed the button that had been waiting for a long time.
There was an emotional mechanical sound in the narrow space: “The punishment mode is selected successfully.”
In the next second, blue lines on the cold metal wall light up, converging into a high-precision biometal chain, facing Ge Xiu’s direction it spread and extended rapidly, wrapping him up, and each tiny tip differentiated into countless nerve synapses, submerging into his skin.
The mechanical sound seemed to suddenly explode nearby, and he seemed to be suddenly pulled very far away:
[The trial is in effect]
[The virtual world is being generated]
—–
Ge Xiu opened his eyes abruptly .
His consciousness seemed to have been pulled out of a deadly cold deep sea, the sudden change of voices, light and shadow and the air pressure, as if they were condensed into entities, poured down on him vividly, making him sober.
The first thing he felt was the monstrous stench that was so strong it almost made him pass out again.
The rotten smell of animals’ carcass decaying spread in high temperature, mixed with the foul smell of deteriorating drinking water, it turned into a terrifying smell that could not be escaped from, covering the whole land in a pervasive manner, countless mosquitoes and flies were dancing in the air. The noisy buzzing sounded unscrupulously, as if they were the masters here.
Wow.
Ge Xiu’s eyes brightened and he calmly surveyed where he was.
He was lying under a simple shed, underneath a black cloth whose original colour cannot be seen, in what seemed to be his bed.
Through the leaky roof, one could see gloomy sky and the boundless trash outside. The mountains of garbage were piled toward the sky, as if to squeeze out the only remaining gap where you could see the sky, to cover all in dirty and messy colors. Every blank in the field of vision was filled.
Ge Xiu stood up and before he could hardly do it he felt dizzy, there was a convulsing pain in his stomach.
He lowered his head and glanced at his palm, thin and dirty, with protruding knuckles, thin bones seemed to breakable easily, wrapped in a thin layer of skin.
Interesting!
Ge Xiu was conquered by this novel experience, his fingers were constantly opened and closed, the feeling of weakness caused by hunger and malnutrition was felt clearly, making him especially fascinated.
At this moment, the sound of loud footsteps came from outside the shed, and then, a skinny half-mature kid crawled in, with his waist bent, the skinny monkey-like face lit up when he saw Ge Xiu: “Xiao Qi, you finally woke up!”
He ran over in a hurry and almost tripped over the garbage scattered on the ground, but he didn’t seem to feel it. He reached out his hand to pull Ge Xiu and ran out:
“There are still five minutes to selections left. It’s about to start! Hurry up! If you can’t make it this time, you will have to wait another seven years!”
Ge Xiu was dragged out of the tattered shed by him and ran forward staggeringly.
He raised his head and the whole world was finally revealed in front of him.
The boundless trash was stacked into high hills, everything in this place as far as you could see was covered with all kinds of rancid garbage, fermenting at high temperature into a stench that seemed almost like a biochemical weapon.
The extinguished stars were far away and a huge starship which can be seen through the gloomy and thin atmosphere stayed in mid-air to obstruct the sky, the planet covered in garbage was lifeless, like a corner abandoned by the world.
At this moment, an emotionless voice rang in Ge Xiu’s ear:
“Welcome to the world of punishment 1: Garbage Star.”
