Chapter 1054: Death and Lights Out, Devout Faith
Watching the blood spill out of the sky, I felt the sticky and disgusting body tissue fluid just drench my head and face. Tony's heart suddenly had a feeling of loss.
That's how it all ended? He asked himself in his own mind, and for a moment a feeling of emptiness swept through his entire body, making everything boring.
People die like lights going out, and Tony deeply understands the meaning of this sentence at this time. The monstrous hatred and endless resentment are all flowing clean with the flowing water in the face of such death. Steve. For him, the name Rogers is no longer an existence that makes him gnash his teeth when he thinks about it, but just a symbol that has completely become a memory. Now that he thinks about everything about him, Tony's heart is completely joyless and sad.
It's over, that's it. He said this to himself in his heart, and at the same time he also stood up and walked straight outside. At this moment, he no longer glanced at Steve's corpse, neither intent on spoiling his corpse to vent his anger, nor at the idea of letting him be buried in the ground. It's as if he had become a complete stranger, and it no longer meant anything to him.
He wanted to leave, but as soon as he took a step, he found that it was not so easy for him to leave. Because he was surrounded by a crowd of people.
These are ordinary people who come to the temple to pay their respects. Some of them were attracted by the light of the fire in the sky, and some were attracted by the sounds of ordinary people fighting before them. Neither of these situations can be considered small, so under this premise, almost the entire town has rushed here. And naturally, they also saw what they were seeing now.
The body of the respected temple presiding officer was lying on the ground like this, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as having no dead body. And the murderer is so swaggering to go outside, he doesn't pay attention to them at all.
This kind of thing is simply unbearable. Almost subconsciously, the young and strong ones in the crowd had already stepped forward to stand in front of Tony.
Their meaning is very clear, that is, Tony will never be allowed to get away like this. This is not only because of the sense of justice, but also because of anger at Tony's blasphemous.
The image that Steve plays in this temple is very divine. This can be seen from the rumors of ordinary people that he is a contemporary saint. This rumor is not a false hype based on false rumors, but Steve's real change in their lives.
Some of these poor Indians couldn't even fill their stomachs, and it was Steve who brought them the food they could fill. Some people were suffering from illnesses that could not be cured, and it was Steve who gave them medicine and medical assistance. Some people have financial difficulties and life problems, and it is Steve who helps them solve these problems.
It can be said that among these ordinary people present, there are few who have not received his favor. These people are either ignorant or poor, but they are not brutes, and they know what gratitude is. They revered and admired Smith, the noble saint who helped them. So they couldn't tolerate villains like Tony who desecrated his sanctity and killed his life.
Indians have strange problems of one kind or another, but one thing is true. That is, they are religious! This devotion made it easy for them to turn their anger into hatred, which made their gaze at Tony fierce and cruel.
This situation really surprised Tony slightly, because in his opinion, it was like a group of tame Mianyang suddenly lifted their wool and directly turned into a group of hungry wolves. Although he is not afraid of them, he has to have some scruples in his heart. And under this premise, he could only shout loudly and warn these ordinary people who were constantly approaching.
"What do you want to do? I warn you that this man on earth is the most wanted criminal in the world, and that he is innocent of death. You'd better be honest with me, or don't blame me for being rude to you. ”
Tony knows very well that you can't be too polite to this kind of ordinary person. As soon as you weaken your tone, they will immediately be able to bully you. And when the time comes, things will only be more troublesome to solve.
So at the moment, he simply came up with a threatening tone. It even fired a beam cannon and hit the stone pillar on the side. Use this kind of violent behavior to match your own words, so as to have a greater deterrent effect.
I have to say that Tony is already very skilled in speculating on people's hearts. As soon as he made such a move, he immediately stopped the ordinary people who surrounded him, and then retreated back with a shocked look on their faces.
Tony's power is beyond the imagination of these ordinary people. It's a small town in North India, remote and ignorant, most of the people have never gone to school, and basically live a somewhat primitive life. As a result, much of the town retains a plain worldview. And in such a simple and primitive worldview, Tony's performance can already be said to be no different from demons.
Attacking a murderer is not a problem. After all, they are outnumbered, and they can still kill the old master with random punches, so they naturally won't be afraid of a strange-looking murderer. But demons are different, no one dares to challenge a terrible demon. Because that will kill people, and no one is not afraid of death.
Seeing these people begin to flinch, Tony immediately let out a sigh of relief. He was preparing to leave as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble. Unexpectedly, before he could start moving, such a voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"This man killed the saint, and we want to avenge the saint!"
"Don't let him run. This is a sinner who has blasphemed the saint, and if he is allowed to escape, we will be blamed by the gods! ”
People in any part of the civilized world would not make any superfluous movements when they heard such words. There is no other reason, people are impetuous, and everyone has all kinds of selfish thoughts in their hearts. Let them put their own safety at risk, and risk their lives for the sake of those gods who can't fight with them. It's a ridiculous joke.
But Indians are different. It's a magical country, and a big part of its magic is reflected in their faith and piety.
Don't think that Indians, with thousands of gods and goddesses they can't even name, think they are random believers. That's a wrong idea, and if anything, Indians are arguably the most religious type in the world.
Here are a few obvious examples. For example, when the British colonized India. The Indians at that time could be said to be submissive to their colonial rulers. Even if the East India Company guys stuck a knife in their necks, these harmless Indians had no idea of resisting at all. Most people almost take it for granted that they are colonized, or even used as animals. While the whole world was going on with all kinds of revolutions, only the Indians were happy to enjoy their colonial life. That deferential look made the British colonists, who had always been cruel and ruthless, a little embarrassed.
And this is such a Shunmin, who once bared his teeth at his master and made trouble. The reason for this is a small religious practice.
Indians regard cattle as a sacred thing. The vast majority of Indians never dare to harm a cow in their lifetime, let alone eat beef. And the British offended the faith of the Indians on this point.
It was when an Indian servant was armed. Because weapons at that time needed to bite open the bullet packs with their mouths before they could be used, and in order to prevent moisture, most of the bullet packs were coated with butter and other grease. The Indians were unwilling to accept this blasphemy, and at one point there were several incidents, but they were suppressed by the East India Company and forced to accept it.
But where did I think that this kind of thing could not be suppressed at all, until later, because of this, a very rare Indian national uprising broke out. Although the uprising must have ended in tragedy, it is also evident from this historical lesson the importance of faith to Indians and how devout Indians really are.
It can be said that in terms of faith and one's own piety, the life of an individual is nothing! And under those two words of agitation, the group of Indians, who had already flinched, slammed into it, and then approached Tony again with a fierce light.
This situation made Tony suddenly shocked in his heart, and he had already seen it very clearly at this time. Just being scared can't scare this group of ordinary people who have gone crazy. And he naturally can't be tied up and at the mercy of these ignorant people. So in the end, I'm afraid it's something that can only be solved by using violence.
Although I am a little unwilling, I don't seem to have any other choice. So immediately, Tony was ready to use force. It's just that he was just getting ready, but he found that the situation had changed beyond comprehension.
The menacing group of Indians, not knowing what was going on, suddenly stopped their tracks, and one by one knelt down. At the same time, their expressions also became extremely religious, and many of them slammed their heads on the ground with great force, even if they were bloody, they did not mean to stop at all.
"What the hell is going on?" Tony, stunned by the sudden change, couldn't figure out what to do. At this time, the movement from behind him made his whole person feel creepy.
There's movement behind you? How is this possible!
