Chapter 245 The Betrayer's Madness(1/2)
Chapter 245 The Madness of the Betrayer
On this day, March 10, 1122, the Tianyuan calendar, the official live broadcast of the execution that took place outside the Sakurada Gate in New Tokyo, Wano, caused great controversy. It did not attract much attention and was quickly dismissed.
Another major event took its place - that is, the Adjudication Division announced its withdrawal from Wano.
For a time, media and news practitioners from all sides poured in one after another.
Every section of traditional newspapers and electronic journals is filled with various analyzes of the current situation, reflections on the past, and predictions for the future of Wano.
People have always lacked the ability to analyze and think independently. When this information was like a tide that wiped out everyone in less than half a day, under the tide, everyone's heart began to be filled with doubts about the future.
of anxiety.
As for whether those anxiety-mongering journalists and vocal politicians are really concerned about the country and the people, or whether they are just trying to take advantage of the opportunity to gain traffic, this is a matter of opinion.
While people are panicking outside,
The grassroots Prime Minister Higashikata Higashikata stood up and announced that he would deliver a public televised speech in his office.
Edogawa Ward, Aragaki Apartment.
On the tatami in the middle of the living room, Charlie glanced at the TV, and then at Higashinohara who lowered his eyes slightly. The two furry ears on his head twitched, and he gently raised his hand to poke Higashinohara.
"What's wrong?"
Higashinohara slowly raised his head.
"Dongye, are you angry?" Xia Li suddenly asked.
Higashinohara was stunned for a moment. Just now, he saw the innocent people outside Sakurada Gate who were supposed to be acquitted today and hug their families again. Those people, men and women, old and young, had their skulls cut off by the sharp knife of the Judgment Division one by one.
Roll.
While he was angry, he also felt a little self-blame.
Because Higashinohara knew that if he hadn't broken into the official residence of the Judgment Division last night and let go of those people on the execution list on the second and third floors of the dungeon, those innocent people on the first floor of the dungeon would not have been replaced and brutally murdered.
.
It's just that this self-blame only lasts for a moment.
Higashinohara soon realized it.
When he blames himself at this time, he is actually using the sins committed by others to punish himself.
If he falls into this kind of self-blame, then if one day, the Adjudication Department takes all the innocent ordinary people of Wan Country hostage and openly threatens him to surrender himself, otherwise he will kill all those innocent people.
How should Higashinohara choose?
This hypothesis turned around in his mind, and Higashinohara immediately got the answer.
In this world, truth only exists on the sharp edge.
Of course, Higashinohara will not surrender or commit suicide, nor will he fall into endless moral self-blame.
He will only continue to work hard to become stronger, so strong that one day he can take down those who kill innocent people indiscriminately, from masterminds to participants to executors.
Every one of them is counted as one, find them all and kill them all, no one will be tolerated, no one will be forgiven.
This is his answer.
The scene outside Sakurada Gate today was the same.
After thinking about this, Higashinohara's face also looked a little relieved.
At this time, Miria Nishimaru, who was helping Coladia cook, also moved over in small steps.
After witnessing the scene outside Sakurada's door, her delicate little face was a little pale, and she said with a very frightened tone, "Thank you, brother, if it weren't for you, my aunt would probably..."
"It's okay, everything's okay." Higashinohara rubbed her little head with a smile.
On the TV, the NHK news channel's picture also cut from outside Sakurada Gate to Prime Minister Higashikata Mori who was about to deliver an office speech.
Dongsen Valley was so worried that he couldn't sleep all night last night. NHK's news shooting did not deliberately light the scene, making the Prime Minister's face look extremely tired and haggard.
As soon as his face, which was as sharp as a knife, appeared in the camera, his tired look immediately caused people to talk about it.
It was just the calm and determined expression revealed by the exhaustion of Dongsen Valley, but it made countless faces in Wano Country that were immersed in arguments and worries quiet down, and they couldn't help but stare at this person who was the most friendly to the people in the history of Wano Country.
Prime Minister of the Cabinet.
He is "our Prime Minister".
At this time, Dongsen Gu, who appeared in front of the TV speech camera, did not give a speech immediately. Instead, he leaned forward slightly towards the camera, opened his hands and pressed them flat on the desk, and barely squeezed out a trace of expression on his exhausted face.
The friendly smile that people are familiar with.
However, seeing this tired smile, countless people in front of the TV and computers felt their hearts tighten, and they all felt a little sorry for the prime minister who had just taken office but had experienced drastic changes one after another.
He was so tired, so haggard, and it seemed that he could only relax a little at this time. He must be carrying some unimaginable burden on his body.
For a time, countless aunts in their 40s and 50s across the country had tears in their eyes. They were the staunchest supporters of Dongsen Valley when they were running for parliament.
It started with appearance, ended with character, but in the end I was impressed by the other party's impeccable friendly personality.
It was at this moment that Dongsen Hegu spoke to the camera. Even though his face was extremely haggard and tired, his voice was still so firm and powerful.
"I believe that many people will be as shocked as me when they see the news today. The Judgment Division of the World Government, which helps us maintain security and management, had a shocking and vicious terrorist attack last night. It has decided to evacuate Wano Country starting today!
"
Dong Sengu paused, and his tone gradually became deeper, "Of course I have not forgotten the promise I made in my inauguration speech, to seek justice for the innocent lives that fell under the Sky Tree on the night of January 31st!
Apply for World Government Arbitration at this World Conference
But there are always some people!!!”
At this point, Dongsen Valley's voice suddenly raised his voice and said in an extremely sonorous and angry tone:
"There are always some people! They don't want to see us safeguard our justice and fight for our fairness through legitimate channels!
So they want to use violence and death to destroy it all and destroy our peaceful and stable life."
"There are always some people who fantasize about being messengers of justice and destroying order wantonly, but they don't know that they have already lost themselves in their own abilities and alienated the people."
"And those people"
Suddenly, the tone in Dongsen Valley was full of loneliness and desolation.
"I once admired those people and regarded them as like-minded friends! But after the incident in the Judgment Division last night, those people will be me! They will be the enemies of all the people of Wano Country!"
When Dongsen Valley said this, the fatigue and haggardness disappeared from his face, and his sculpture-like face was filled with a look of appreciation, which made people feel moved!
He gave a fiery televised public speech, although he did not identify the person throughout the speech.
But in the hearts of countless people in Wano Country, the man who occasionally wears a dark golden dragonfly mask, and occasionally wears a fox mask with red and blue patterns, who claims to be the "New Tokyo Discipline Committee" is exercising his interest
Consequent justice.
Speaking of which, many viewers in front of the TV have previously regarded him as a "superhero" who supports justice.
But under today's sudden situation, coupled with Dongsen Valley's extremely generous public speech on TV, the people who were originally a little anxious and confused suddenly seemed to have found an outlet, and they cursed angrily in front of the TV.
Got up.
In just a few minutes, countless cursing messages and posts appeared on the Internet.
Xingyuan Apartment, in front of the TV.
Higashinohara stared at the resolute and upright face on the TV screen, his brows furrowed slightly, and many, many things suddenly came to mind in his mind.
He remembered that Miria Nishimaru once called him "good uncle"; he recalled that Miria Nishimaru once regretted that the other party did not come to power earlier, otherwise her adoptive father Tokugawa Ritora might not be framed so easily; he also remembered that
I once comforted Nishimaru Miria, "That is our Prime Minister, everything will get better and better."
But it seems.
Nothing has changed.
Dong Yeyuan sighed softly in his heart.
At this time, he suddenly noticed that Xia Li, who was sitting cross-legged on the tatami, was trembling slightly, her hands were tightly pressed down, and she looked angry.
Dong Yeyuan couldn't help but be startled, and smiled bitterly in his heart.
With the upright character of this tiger girl, Xia Li, I'm afraid she must be yelling at herself right now, right?
"traitor!"
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xia Li suddenly raised her arm, pointed at Dongsen Valley's face full of integrity and tenacity and said.
traitor?
Higashinohara's first reaction was to talk about himself.
But looking at Xia Li's finger, which was almost touching Dongsen Gu's nose if it weren't for the TV screen, she couldn't help but feel surprised.
"Why."
The doubts in his heart have not yet been asked.
Charlie turned her head and said indignantly, "He is a friend when needed and an enemy when not needed. Such a guy is the most abominable in our village, betrayal! This is naked betrayal!"
Is it betrayal?
