Chapter 85 85: Follow-up
In fact, no matter how hard the officials tried to make amends, and how the commander-in-chief gave passionate speeches, they could not dispel people's deepening worries.
Why does the devil "prefer" us?
Is it because we really have any sins?
This preference even gives some people the feeling of being stared into the abyss all the time, which is breathless and despairing as if they are watching the end approaching.
Many people have mental health problems emerging, and it is foreseeable that there will be a wave of related papers.
In addition, various demagogic doomsday churches have begun to appear, under the banner of salvation or demons, causing unprecedented confusion in people's minds.
Under this situation, the top officials decided to forcibly promote the "god-making" plan in advance in order to unite the increasingly depressed people's hearts.
Now they have two cards in their hand.
One is Jamie Walton, who is currently cooperating well with the officials and comes from a big family.
One is from the bottom, and the details are not yet clear, and more time is needed to recover. The character introduction cannot even fill a card, but from his behavior, we can infer that Carlos has a sense of justice.
There is almost no choice. Everyone will let Jamie take on this important task by default, without even his own consent, because they believe that the people in the Walton family will not be ignorant of the general situation, and this It is a move that is beneficial to the Walton family, and there is no reason to object.
It is not that the chaebols are out of kindness, but that an excessively chaotic situation will lead to an economic downturn, and more serious situations may even lead to panic selling, which is fatal to them.
The only problem now is that during the battle in downtown Macheng, too many people saw Jamie killing innocent people indiscriminately.
Even if there was sufficient evidence to show that he was controlled by the devil at the time, he finally got rid of the control and gave the devil a fatal blow.
It's just that reality is different from movies.
In movies, people may be moved by the hero's inner struggle, but selectively ignore the ordinary people who are harmed by it.
But in reality, they are just ordinary people. They have to worry that if the hero will be manipulated by the devil once, will there be a second time?
Struggled within? Kill us while struggling?
I did not die in the hands of the devil, but in the hands of the people who protected them. No one can accept it.
However, the number of people injured at the scene can only be regarded as a very small number compared to the whole country.
A large amount of compensation will be received soon. This is the most convenient and quick solution.
Subsequently, the government and the plutocrats cooperated to shape Jamie into a tragic hero.
He will not deliberately avoid the harm he caused to ordinary people, but he will also deliberately amplify his previous desperate protection of people.
The photo of the girl wearing a garland has been circulated repeatedly, but most people don’t know that the girl’s parents died in Jamie’s hands.
Coupled with a video of Captain Jamie in the ICU ward where his life is still in danger, as well as the person involved’s biased description of that time, it highlights Jamie’s difficulty, helplessness, and the anxiety and tragedy of the war situation, etc.
Under these rounds of offensives, most people already understand Jamie, who originally admired America, the prodigal son who never exchanges money for his return.
I think that since he can get rid of the control of the devil by his will, he must be a loyal people of God. Perhaps he has been blessed by the Lord, so he can resist the erosion of the devil.
After the storm, he is still Captain Jamie of America.
Even his image has become fuller in people's hearts.
Although, Jamie, who is still struggling in consciousness, doesn't know this. (You can read the extra chapter 84.5 in the related works.)
Devil’s blood is not that easy to use.
The price is to fall into what is commonly known as the "inner demon". If you can't break free, you will stay in it for the rest of your life.
Shiraishi Hang is waiting for dark.
By the way, let’s take a closer look at the two abilities of the new mutation.
A chess piece that does not respond to expectations. No, it is not even a chess piece before the queen enters Mai City. But after entering Mai City, it grew at an alarming rate. Even if it died in the end, it indirectly brought two new abilities to Bai Shihang.
And both abilities have their highlights.
[Bloodborne Curse] This ability is easy to understand. It can be regarded as an expansion pack of [Blood Burning Technique]. It also needs to pay a certain price. He feels that this ability has a faint mutation route. As long as If the symbiont is suitable, it can accumulate and erupt the required emotions or achieve certain conditions, and it can continue to extend forward.
It is similar to [Burning] and [Firework Knight].
He was looking forward to what kind of surprises would be waiting for him at the end if he continued along this mutation route.
Although the other [Saint] is only a two-character ability, its highlights are no worse than the previous one.
The ability that was mutated before is fed back to Shiraishi Hang. He will have the highest authority and instinctively knows the main usage of this ability and the auxiliary usage that can be used. Some of the abilities can even be used without the need for previous use. Set conditions or offset costs.
As for the ability of [Saint], there is a word that is always vague in his instinctive description and perception, like a veil, blocking his in-depth investigation.
【Death is not your end, in ￥%￥#, you can get new life. 】
He could only vaguely sense that this ability was related to another ability that had not been mutated, so it was in an unknown state.
But this kind of mutation does not mean that a certain ability is fixed, but it should be a category.
A type of ability that can produce miraculous reactions to the word [saint].
Just like the "mutation route" mentioned earlier.
All Shiraishi Hang could think of at once was heaven, the Kingdom of God, some kind of halo, some kind of divine ability.
Get a new life.
In a sense, is this his first ability to peek into the power of life and death?
Even if it is only a semi-finished product at the moment.
"If you can't live forever in this universe for a long time, what's the point of just passing on genes from generation to generation?"
In his previous life, Shiraishihang didn't have any experience of bitterness and hatred.
But anyone who has come into contact with him will come to the conclusion that "this man is weird".
If I want to elaborate on it, I can’t explain why it’s strange.
Shiraishi Hang knew very well that in his previous life he was just living as a zombie, and he realized that he would eventually turn into fire in the furnace and ashes in the altar. Even planets will become lifeless, and stars will eventually die.
In my short life, I can neither see the magnificence of the Pillars of Creation nor witness the world a million years from now.
We can only stay in a man-made cage and create what people call social value.
Fortunately, he saw the light in this world.
It allows him to release his free will and find a way to climb the mountain.
After clearing his mind for a while, Bai Shihang looked at the gradually darkening sky, and his thoughts slowly returned to normal.
Time to get to work.
The transition between these two chapters feels a bit awkward, so there is an extra chapter related to the work, which counts as three updates, yeah.
The next plot is about the supernatural animals scattered around as mentioned before, but I originally wrote it a bit too much, like the destruction of a town that is often seen in old American movies and TV shows. Now I know that I absolutely cannot write it like this, but I have to I'm a little clueless about the revision, and it should be on the shelves next week or the week after that, so I have to rush to save the manuscript.
If you want to watch the extras, don’t look through the table of contents. Please help me click to the end and read them. I beg you.
