Chapter 100: Public Opinion
When night falls, the stars shine brightly, the huge moon rings hang in the sky, and a layer of bright silver shine is sprinkled.
The town, which should have been quiet, is now bustling with people, and the streets are full of people, and the black crowd is pouring like a tide towards the green street to the west.
"In the name of justice, eradicate human traitors!"
"Defeat Marcelo and destroy the Skeletons!"
"For the sake of humanity, justice will prevail!!"
Shouting loud slogans, people rushed majestically and with high morale, swaggering all the way through the market.
The strange man Zolo walked in front with a cigarette in his mouth, and Sig and Wenxi stood on either side of him like two Dharma protectors.
The sound of da-da-da-da's footsteps was like the sound of drums, and many passers-by looked at this mighty team with shocked expressions.
Many people hurried away, but there were also many people who were infected by this frenzied atmosphere and couldn't help but follow.
Like a large magnet absorbing the fine iron sand, as the team advanced, the number of people also increased, gradually approaching 1,500 people.
A brown-haired and red-eyed boy raised his arms and shouted vigorously, his face flushed and his whole body trembled with excitement.
It was on the road that he was drawn into the army, and although he didn't know exactly what was happening, he was still intoxicated by the great cause of humanity and justice.
The boy's heart was full of passion and blood, and a high sense of honor drove him to forget that he was a thief......
In fact, not only him, but even Higg, who was surrounded by the crowd, felt that he was really a hero at the moment.
Higg even deceived himself a little, thinking that he went to kill Marcello, not for ambition and profit, but for the sake of his compatriots and justice.
Including Roy, Issam, and Black Fox, these gang leaders all have the illusion that they are doing the right thing for heaven, as if they have never done evil.
At the back of the crowd, a pair of young men and women followed from a distance, very inconspicuous.
Suzanne had a smile on her face, and she was in a good mood as the Skull Gang that killed her boyfriend was finished.
She looked at Wren with a lazy expression, and said with a smile: "It's hard to imagine that such a righteous division was led by a group of actors at the beginning. ”
Wren yawned: "The truth doesn't matter, don't you see that many people in the crowd are quite intoxicated with the glorious cause of eradicating human traitors?"
Just like the weird Zolo, he doesn't like little girls either, but no matter how he justifies him before, people still call him weird......"
Suzanne smiled dumbly and sighed with emotion: "Indeed, a black cauldron has been carried by Zolo for ten years, and he still can't completely get rid of ......"
Zolo is a native of the Pugni Plains, but his hometown is not in Orange Town.
He debuted in the C position that year, like a rising star, and soon became a model for the young generation of cowboys in the plains.
Zolo has had a chivalrous dream since he was a child, and he has worked hard for it, being chivalrous and courageous, helpful, and always punishing evil and promoting good, and supporting justice.
can be said to be a really good person, and no one can find any major faults.
People are full of praise for him, saying that he is a hero and a young hero. Not surprisingly, he will become a generation of heroes in the future and has great appeal.
But the ghost hand Marcello didn't want him to have this kind of fame, so that Zolo could respond to every call, which would seriously threaten the Skull Gang.
Zoro once rescued a little girl who was separated from her parents and let the little girl stay at his house for a few days, and after he found the other party's parents, he sent the little girl over.
This incident was exploited by Marcello, who secretly threatened the little girl's parents and made the little girl slander Zolo in public, saying that he had done something to her when they used to live together.
Then the Skeletons began to hype up the matter and make Zolo stink, and the news did cause an uproar on the plains, and the people talked about it.
Marcello: Come and see, Zolota smelts copper! He was finally exposed, he was a pervert, a hypocrite!
Zolo: No, I don't smelt copper, folks, trust me!
Zolo thought that as long as he explained clearly and clarified the misunderstanding, everyone would believe him.
But he soon found that there were more and more rumors and rumors, and malicious speculation was becoming more and more outrageous.
Zolo's previous image has always been very glorious and perfect, and because of this, it seems a little unreal.
Are the eyes of the masses bright?
No, it depends, and nothing is absolute.
People are used to what Zolo has done again, and they are not interested, but want to see another side of him.
Don't underestimate the dark side of the public, many people can't see Zolo so respected, and they can't see others good.
Zolo tried his best to explain, but he found that under the guidance of the public opinion of the Skull Gang, and the darkness of many people who were jealous of him, people did not buy it.
Melon-eating crowd A: Flies don't bite seamless eggs, and this kind of news can be transmitted, indicating that there must be something wrong with Zolo's conduct.
Melon-eating crowd B: A slap doesn't make a sound, if Zolo doesn't have this quirk, why would the little girl say that.
Eating melons C: People are selfish, how can a person be so good, Zolo usually looks too perfect, and he is probably pretending.
Marcello laughing out loud: Yes, yes, you're all right, it makes sense! I admit I'm a bad guy, a villain, but at least I'm honest.
is not like the strange man Zolo, his heart is twisted and dark, but he wants to pretend to be a gentleman, the hypocrisy is extreme, folks, hypocrites are more terrible than real villains......
Zolo was defeated by these very "philosophical" words, and the mixed slogan of "weird man" fell on his head.
His reputation has been tarnished, his appeal has diminished, and he can't easily threaten the Skull Gang.
Even if the little girl later stood up and clarified, saying that she was threatened by a ghost hand, so she would touch Zolo, but people would still be suspicious.
Some people say that Zolo is trying to clear his name, since he was wronged, why did the little girl come out now to clarify.
Maybe Zolo sold the little girl and asked her to come out and explain, and by the way, dump the black cauldron on the infamous ghost hand......
In short, many people who eat melons never want the truth, they just want answers that meet their psychological needs.
This is also why after listening to Wren's plan, Zolo sighed with emotion, saying that he was too naïve, or you were dirty.
You're talking about Marcelo and Rennes, and as it happens, their methods are quite similar.
This play directed by Wren also has a lot of deceptive tricks.
Don't mention those actors, for example, on the flyer, it says that Ugo has died in battle, but Ugo was not brought in after that.
Does anyone say that Higg was lying before?
People don't care about such details at all!
Because the people, under the guidance of Higg, only focus on how to kill the angry Marcello......
