Chapter 212: Reversal of the Hero
Li Du has always had an understatement attitude, but he revealed a rigid attitude, which is very domineering.
Although Mei Ang was also worried about this, he still stood silently in place.
At this time, Li Du's gaze swept over Mei Ang, and then shook his head gently.
"Mion, how many years have you spent in the Templar?"
"Sixteen years and seven months. Mion replied calmly.
Li Du smiled and said, "You don't have to be modest with me, you should also remember the specific date number." ”
In this regard, Meiang could only nod and admit it.
Li Du said: "It's my luck that you can enter the Holy Hall, with your talents, you will shine wherever you are. And for many years in the Templar I have been deliberately 'suppressing' you, leaving you nameless and wronged. ”
Mei Ang bowed his head and said, "I will never dare, I will never forget the blessings given to me by the Holy Chamber and the Knight Chief." It was my choice to get to where I am today, and no one has imposed any intervention on me. ”
Li Du smiled slightly, and turned to Mei Ang: "With your ability, you can become the leading speaker in other organizations, but I can't let you sit in my place." Any idea why?"
Mion's expression became a little subtle, and he shook his head bitterly.
"Strength. Li Du said firmly.
Mei Ang swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Please also ask the knight chief to make it clear." ”
Li Du said: "The power I am talking about does not refer to the surface, and there are few people in the whole world who can rely on your mecha combat ability. But in other areas you really lack power. ”
After that, Li Du's eyes looked at Mei Ang and said, "You are not ruthless enough." ”
When he heard this, Meiang's body suddenly trembled, and his eyes showed a little more puzzlement and a little relief.
Li Du said: "For example, these things that happened to Hugo, you are not as good as Hua Lian." ”
Mei Ang said softly: "But Hua Lian failed. ”
Li Du said: "Hua Lian's defeat is not completely accidental, to be precise, both sides account for 50 percent. ”
Li Du's words of not waiting made Mei Ang feel confused.
"If Hua Lian really wants to stop Hugo, then he won't go alone, how many Templars do you think Hugo's ability can deal with together?"
Mei Ang also thought of this, of course he understood that Hua Lian did not do his best, and he was largely selfish.
"This is where Hua Lian is stronger than you. She understands the pros and cons of things and knows how to make trade-offs. And in the face of something that must happen, she will also follow the trend. ”
Mei Ang thought for a moment and said, "Although order will be born in the chaos, and we can also gain some benefits in the current chaos, but is it too risky to do this just for the sake of this small profit?"
Li Du nodded to Mei Ang with his fingers and said, "If it were Hua Lian, she would definitely not speak to me in such a questioning tone." Mion was silent.
"It's good to think about the bigger picture and think about it. But at critical moments, you need to be more direct than submissive. ”
"Understood. Mion agreed.
Li Du said: "Hugo's actions are indeed sudden, and it is easy to push the temple into a dangerous situation. But you also need to realize that these are not just the ones we are facing. In fact, humanity as a whole is facing a dilemma, the blasphemer. ”
After saying that, Li Du slowly stood up from his seat, although this powerful figure was old, but when he stood up, he still showed a strong sense of oppression, and his tall figure was not much inferior to Mei Ang.
"Ten years ago, since the destruction of the East Island, the entire Moon Island continent has faced a severe test, the stirring and entanglement of various forces, and the blasphemer who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. ”
"Over the years, these grievances and threats have become more and more profound, and there is no sign of easing them. I believe that if this continues, the situation will not get any better. ”
"In particular, many things have happened this year, and everything has been exposed in an explosive way, and the people here have not experienced this since the establishment of Tsukishima. ”
Mei Ang frowned and said: "The people have long since gradually turned from fear to anger, especially the recent attack on the hospital, which can be said to have completely touched the bottom line of everyone, so that the backlash is very serious, and it can be said that everyone is ready to fight to the death with the blasphemer." ”
Li Du snorted coldly when he heard this: "Their so-called determination is just to transfer their attitude to me and the government. If we were defeated, I doubt how many strong-willed and iron-clad people there would be at that time. ”
"But the contradiction has been completely formed. ”
Li Du shook his head and said: "To be precise, it is not enough to form a spear and shield confrontation between the two sides, because the general public does not know the truth about the blasphemer, and will only complain, curse, and speculate on the Internet. There is a huge single barrier between the two sides, and no one has broken down this barrier. ”
"Barriers are the best layer of protection for blasphemers, and as long as those people are not crazy, they will not take the initiative to expose them. ”
"And for the many forces in Tsukishima, the less they 'know', the safer. If a faction takes the initiative to publish the information it has learned about the blasphemer, it will quickly become the 'target of public criticism' in the eyes of everyone. The public will inevitably ask them for the truth. And the truth is about the destruction of the East Island, which is really a mess that doesn't make sense of it. Every force can bear the infamy of negligence and responsibility, but it does not dare to put the infamy of hundreds of thousands of people who died for no reason on their heads. And if it completely reveals the truth, then it can be said that it will become completely isolated in Tsukishima. Then the end is probably worse than any other performance. ”
Mei Ang nodded, and then frowned slightly and said, "In this way, Hugo played a role in this..."'wall breaker'!"
Li Du smiled: "I like this name very much, and it describes it very vividly." ”
"That's right, this Hugo is so reckless and direct to break down this barrier that no one wants to touch, without reservation. ”
Mion frowned, "But what's the good of him, he could have kept his identity in hiding, and now the whole world knows him." There is no shadow left for it to hide, and it is completely exposed to the sun!"
"Is this really the case?" Li Du still maintained a calm demeanor, and at the same time looked at Mei Ang meaningfully, being stared at by Li Du like this, Mei Ang suddenly felt a sense of weakness, and began to question his statement.
Li Du said: "If this matter is pointed out by a master behind Hugo, then it's okay, if it is Hugo himself thinking about it, then it is really too terrible." Because it proves that his mind and strategy are so profound that they even surpass yours. ”
"After his public broadcast, someone will be the loser. There are also people who will oscillate between winning and losing. But if there is only one winner, then there will only be one, and that is Hugo himself!"
When Li Du said this, his eyes showed sincere admiration.
"As you said before, Hugo plays the role of a wall-breaker in this paradoxical stalemate, and he may not be seen at the moment, but the people are not stupid, they will react after a period of thought, and then they will find that this new human named Hugo is not their enemy, but their helper. ”
After Li Du's nudge, Meiang suddenly woke up, and at the same time, his eyes also showed a light of shock and admiration.
"Hugo was the first blasphemer to identify himself, and at the same time the blasphemer to make his secrets completely public. These two points alone will be exchanged for the favor of many people, because Hugo showed a candor that no other party possesses. ”
On the other hand, Hugo not only revealed the secrets of the desecrated, but also revealed the truth about the events of the destruction of the East Island, which is really nothing compared to the events before this. ”
"Blasphemers are terrible, but isn't it even more chilling for a man-made disaster that destroys an entire prosperous city in an instant?"
"Hugo, he's creating fear. ”
Li Du shook his head and said, "Creating fear is not a clever method. He's making people see their surroundings and letting everyone know that fear is all around them all the time. ”
"The Sword of Damocles effect...," Meon muttered to himself.
Li Du smiled: "All the people will truly experience the feeling of Damocles, and this effect will quickly ferment in the group, like a snowball." What will happen at that time is something that no one can predict. ”
"The two points that Hugo pointed out are also important, the 'Creation God Project' carried out by Simon Harrison and the massacre and persecution of survivors on the East Island by the Tsukishima military. It can be seen that Hugo hated both parties and wanted to put them to death. At the same time, it has accurately found one of its weakest opponents. ”
"Simon Harrison has been missing for years, and no one knows where he is. I think that the people can't find any trace of it, so who will the people turn their anger on? Hehe, it must be the Tsukishima military. ”
"Yes, the first loser in this battle is the Tsukishima military. Meon muttered.
Li Du nodded noncommittally and said, "Although it sounds a little pitiful, but now all this is to blame." After all, what he did was indeed excessive. ”
Mei Ang said: "But we also assisted the military in the East Island..."
Li Du waved his hand and said, "Neither the people nor other forces will be stupid enough to attack the Holy Church. You must know that after this kind of thing happened, it is no longer a simple internal matter of Tsukishima, but also a worldwide matter. ”
"People need to find someone to vent their anger without breaking their last barrier. Without the Templar, who will defend against the threat of the other powers of the world and the profane?"
Mei Ang nodded clearly, and then suddenly smiled: "For so many years, the Tsukishima military has been playing an embarrassing role in the 'flanking' of us, the government, and the Public Security Metropolitan Police Department, and it is really not well received compared to these three parties. ”
Li Du said: "And this is where Hugo is clever, he understands who to use to achieve the best effect, and it is also the easiest to achieve." ”
"Although the Tsukishima military has also been 'estranged' from us for many years, it is also a pillar force of all parties after all, and now he is using this pillar force to cut the wings of many of us. ”
At this time, Mei Ang had completely followed Li Du's narrative train of thought, and after a quick turn of his gaze, he said: "The forces that have lost part of their wings will inevitably seek another wing to make up for it, and Hugo he..."
"It's the wings. Li Du said with a light smile.
Hearing this, Meon really gasped, he really didn't expect Hugo's seemingly reckless behavior to contain so many thoughts.
He was tempted to see it as an over-interpretation by the knight, but soon Mion told himself that there were so many coincidences in this world, especially in the 'world' in which he lived.
Li Du said: "When the people like Hugo's thinking are tracked down step by step, then they have unknowingly become the 'puppets' under Hugo's control, and these puppets' feelings for Hugo will inevitably change." At that time, did you still think that he was the object of being shouted and beaten in the street?"
"Hugo at that time was a hero on this continent. ”
Hero.
Mion repeated the term bitterly in his heart, and he really couldn't imagine that the hero and Hugo could be connected. But what the chief knight said was polite and courteous, and it was not up to Meon himself to doubt it.
Mei Ang raised his eyes and looked at Li Du with a straight face, and said questioningly: "Will humans regard an alien as a hero?"
But Li Du said to Mei Ang in a meaningful way: "Then what kind of existence do you think heroes are for the world?"
"Not all people in the world can be heroes, no matter what time and occasion, heroes are an outlier in a group of ordinary people, and the reason why they are respected by everyone is that they are different from others. ”
"Humans are a strange species that unconditionally adores those who are stronger than them, while at the same time deeply despises those who are the same as themselves. This kind of thinking is morbid, but it is not contradictory. ”
Mion nodded noncommittally when he heard this, he naturally understood the dark side of human nature, and knew how fragile human nature was in some situations.
Li Du said: "This should be Hugo's initial plan, and it is difficult to say what he will do after that, but the result is predictable to a certain extent." ”
With that, Li Du slowly returned to his seat and sat down.
"Now you understand why I met him. ”
