Chapter 5 Demagogy
There is a "demon" in everyone's heart, and anyone who dares to release him in an orderly society will be punished. When society loses order and people release him arbitrarily without getting the punishment he deserves, the world becomes hell. The demon king dressed the demons in people's hearts as angels, and made the demon master his servant.
The shops on both sides of the street, the neat two-storey buildings, and the spacious street park all show the prosperity of Xiwang Town in the past.
The bustle is gone, the broken window panes, the burned buildings, the overgrown streets, the withering of the end is repeated in the towns and cities of this land.
Street Park. In the depressed town in the past, there were five or six hundred people densely surrounded, most of these people wore white robes, and those who did not have white robes were also dressed in various colors close to white. Malnutrition for more than half a year, most of them looked yellow and thin, different from the wanderers' empty eyes like the walking dead, these people were full of burning hope in their eyes, looking at the white-robed man on the middle platform.
On the middle stage stood a tall, thin man, covered most of the man's face in a white hooded priest's robe, and even if he looked up from the stage, he could only see the part below the man's nose.
The man wore a red belt around his waist and was speaking to the audience in a penetrating voice: "Human beings are greedy, selfish, and excessively demanding, and God has sent viruses and nuclear wars to punish ignorant humans!" But that's not enough, there are still monstrous floods and meteors falling from the sky, and the end has just begun! ”
The man's voice was low but infectious, and the crowd in the audience was sometimes excited and sometimes trembling with the change in the tone of the man's voice.
"God loves the world, God still has mercy on the good and faithful, God chose Noah's family as the seed of a new generation of mankind to preserve, and now he has opened a gate to heaven and let his messenger on earth, Master Elijah, select believers to enter heaven. Only loyalty and dedication, dependence and obedience can become believers in God, only by joining the "Gate of Heaven" can the soul be purified, and only by entering the gate of Heaven can we avoid the final apocalypse! ”
"Look, this is the standard magic stick!"
"There are many nonsense, but they are foolish, and it is strange for someone to believe it?"
"Why doesn't anyone believe it, look next to us, these people are like they have been brainwashed!"
Just as the men on the stage pushed the speech to a climax, three men in gray cloaks on the periphery of the crowd were whispering, and the three gray figures were so eye-catching in a sea of white, but the people around them were dedicating themselves to God, and no one cared about them.
The three of them are Chi Hua, Li Xiaofei and You Yong, who have just come down from Aoki Cliff. After learning that Chi Hua's purpose was to eliminate the potential threat around the wheat field, You Yong volunteered to take Chi Hua to Xiwang Town to have a look, and vowed to ensure that the ever-expanding power of the gods, known as the "Gate of Heaven", would be the biggest threat in this area.
Because of the border between his own Dongba Township and Xiwang Township, there were many frictions between the two sides, but in the end, it was basically You Yong who suffered and took a lot of lives and territory. He went up the mountain to ask Xiao Yu for marriage this time, and there was another meaning that the two families could unite to deal with the "Gate of Heaven".
"These people are like ghosts, there was no trace of them before, but they suddenly appeared after the nuclear war, and they spread very quickly like a plague. The ringleader on the stage, who wore a red sash to speak, was called the preacher. You Yong explained in a whisper.
Chi Hua suddenly remembered the portrait he saw at Zhang Zhanyuan's house half a year ago, but he didn't expect it to become the climate so soon, "When there is no hope for survival, it is also the emptiest time in the heart of human beings, and human beings will not hesitate to grasp any life-saving straw, even if 'it' looked so slim and absurd before!" This is also why there are too many demons and monsters jumping out in troubled times! ”
Several people were talking in a low voice, but the scene suddenly changed, the crowd suddenly flashed a passage, four people wearing white robes and black belts carried a naked woman onto the stage, the woman's face was sallow, thin ribs were clearly visible, and her chest was so shriveled that only two drooping bags remained, and she was lifted on the stage by four white-robed people naked, but she didn't even have the strength to resist.
"The Lord is merciful, and the Lord cannot be questioned, and any act of questioning and slandering the Lord will be punished! This woman openly slanders the Lord, doubts the Lord, and prevents the believers of God from throwing herself into His arms, she is the evil spirit, and we will purify her soul with fire! ”
Several white-robed men immediately began to tie the woman to a wooden cross that had already stood on the side of the platform, and began to pile firewood at the woman's feet.
"Burn her! Burn her! ”
The crowd of onlookers in the audience was even more excited, pushing forward, and the imminent burning of a living woman seemed to have become a matter of course for these people, an exciting thing.
There are five or six hundred people, these ordinary people who were kind and responsible more than half a year ago, but now no one has stood up to stop them, and no one has even questioned them, and their eyes are shining with madness and excitement.
There is no greater mourning than the death of the heart, but madness is more terrible and sad than emptiness! Chi Hua clenched his fists tightly in the audience, his eyes were on fire, the power of the cult's demagogy was too terrifying, and these people were all brainwashed.
A thin young man in a white robe was pushed onto the stage, this is still a half-old child, pursed his lips and looked green, looking at his age as if he was not much older than Xiao Fei.
The preacher on the stage gently took the boy and handed a torch to the boy's trembling hand, "Go, go and purify her, although she was your mother before, the demon has now taken possession of her body." After purifying her, you will also pass the Lord's examination and become a member of the Gates of Heaven, a propagator of the glory of the Lord. ”
The boy took the torch and turned to face the woman tied to the cross, the boy lowered his head and did not dare to look into the woman's eyes, and the hand holding the torch trembled violently.
The woman who didn't resist when she was tied up looked at the boy in front of her and shook her head desperately, tears dripping down her emaciated cheeks.
"Burn her! Burn her! ”
The crowd of onlookers shouted and agitated frantically, desperately urging the boy to hand out torches and burn his mother to death.
The boy's head was lowered even deeper, and no one could see the boy's expression at this time, but the boy finally reached out and trembled and stretched the torch in his hand towards the pyre at the woman's feet.
A cyan cold light suddenly broke through the air, and the boy suddenly felt a heat in his neck, so he reached out and touched his neck, first touching the warm blood that kept gushing out, and then the cold hilt of the knife, and the boy finally raised his head, it was a face that was also full of tears.
The boy clutched the handle of the knife around his neck, and fell weakly, and the torch in his hand fell on the platform and on the pyre, and the fire burst into flames.
The woman looked at the boy who fell down with her neck clutched, lowered her head and closed her eyes.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" sounded one after another, and a series of flying knives appeared as if out of thin air, shooting quickly and rapidly at the preacher on the stage and the propagator wearing the black belt. The two black-belted communicators were immediately stabbed and fell, but the knives that were fired at the speaker were nimblely dodged.
"There, those three people are evil spirits, seize them, kill them!" The preacher finally found the man who shot the throwing knife.
The gray cloaks of Chi Hua and the three of them were so obvious in the crowd, following the direction of the preacher on the stage, as soon as he turned around, he saw the three people on the periphery of the crowd, and a few white-robed believers who were close to him reached out and grabbed them.
Chi Hua and You Yong threw punches one after another, easily knocking down the few people in front of them who dared to stretch out their hands to themselves.
"Believers who catch them will pass the Lord's examination and get a chance to heaven!" The preacher on the stage loudly agitated the crowd.
The crowd looked at the three people in front of them with burning eyes, like hungry wolves looking at the naked lamb and pounced like crazy.
"Brother Hua, let's go! There are too many of them! Xiao Fei pulled Chi Hua and was about to run.
"You go first, I must slaughter this god stick today!" Chi Hua, who has always been calm, moved the real fire this time, lost his mind, and rushed towards the preacher on the stage in the face of the swarming crowd.
Chi Hua used both fists and feet, knocking a man in front of him away with one punch, kicking over three or four people with one kick, and knocking him forward, like a crazy tiger rushing left and right in the crowd.
The crowd still pounced on Chi Hua desperately, the person in front fell and the person behind stepped on the fallen person and pounced on Chi Hua, at the same time there were countless fists and feet hitting Chi Hua, Chi Hua's body didn't know how many times, but the distance from the platform was getting farther and farther away.
Chi Hua suddenly felt loosened left and right, Xiao Fei and You Yong squeezed both sides of Chi Hua after receiving countless punches and kicks, You Yong was shirtless, and any blow to him could not hurt him, but Xiao Fei's face was already blue and a few pieces.
Through the countless fists and kicks that stretched out, separated by a crowd of five or six hundred, Chi Hua raised his head and looked at the preacher on the stage.
As if sensing Chi Hua's penetrating gaze, the man on the stage also looked at Chi Hua at the same time and made a middle finger movement, and Chi Hua replied with a throat cutting motion.
"None of you deserve to go to heaven, I'm going to send you to hell today!" The huge pointed machete appeared in Chi Hua's hand again, and the knife slashed out with a sharp light, and several arms flew out of the original body. Chi Hua stepped forward, the sword flashed again, and the head with a fanatical expression flew out again.
Chi Hua had red eyes, gritted his teeth, and firmly moved forward step by step, waving the big knife up and down, cutting everything in front of him, whether it was a man, a woman, an old man, or a child, they were ruthlessly cut under the flying knife, and the blood rain was flying all over the sky.
As if it was a killing god, Chi Hua slashed out with an expressionless knife, and every time he swung out, it was a life or even several lives, Chi Hua was covered in blood, and under his feet was a severed arm and stump.
You Yong protected Chi Hua's back, and the punches and kicks on his body were fluttering, but his heart was trembling, as if he was protecting a devil. Xiaofei flew the knife in one hand and the spider silk in the other hand was ready to go, protecting Chi Hua's left side, with the swing of Chi Hua's big knife, the blood splashed all over Li Xiaofei's body, Chi Hua's crazy slaughter also frightened Li Xiaofei, and his mouth kept persuading, "Brother Hua, don't kill, don't kill ......"
The murderer was frightened, but the killed were completely unaware, and the people around him were still not afraid of death and rushed forward one after another.
Chi Hua turned a deaf ear, the big knife in his hand danced faster, the sound of flesh and bone cutting, the screams of the big knife entering the flesh, the wailing of the undead, the corpses and blood everywhere, at this moment Chi Hua is the Shura who came out of hell, and his surroundings are hell on earth!
Chi Hua mechanically brandished a big knife, a knife, a knife, and another knife...... Let the blood flow like a river under his feet, and let the corpses in front of him be strewn all over the ground. Chi Hua slashed the air, there was no one in front of him, Chi Hua had already killed the audience, but the preacher on the stage had already fled and did not know where to go......
Chi Hua turned around slowly, and on the road leading to the high platform, there were nearly 100 broken corpses lying horizontally. Looking at the corpses all over the ground, the rest of the people finally woke up, frightened by the bloody reality, some were shaking desperately, and some collapsed to the ground all at once.
Chi Hua took a step forward gently, and the crowd dispersed in a moment, "Devil, the devil is coming!" ”
"Ahh Chi Hua raised his head and roared, and then laughed like crazy......
