Chapter 721: World Trade Center
Just like the irony on the Internet in later generations, death and death are different-
Paris, France, may only need a few dozen dead and wounded to make the world shine on the lights, and countless people are French tonight;
But the Rwandan massacre, which killed 800,000 to 1 million people in two months, is little known in the world.
- People are not only born unequal, but also die unequally.
It is precisely because she is accustomed to seeing ghosts that Charlotte understands the cruelty of the human world.
He knew that the fear of death of the living, especially the sudden outburst of fear, was the most delicious food for the Lord of Hell.
Therefore, he will never let go of the shock caused by 911 to the whole of North America.
- He will be there!
That's why he reminded Alexis of their attention—
Several of them went to the scene, not only to help rescue, but also to compete with the Lord of Hell for the power of death.
Of course, there is little hope of success in this scramble.
After all, the Lord of Hell is the Lord of Hell after all.
However, being able to take the opportunity to reduce some of the other party's opportunities to strengthen, Charlotte still can't let go.
What's more, the moment he saw the billowing smoke of the Twin Towers in New York through the TV screen, he clearly felt that the aura of this world was even thinner.
At this moment, he naturally wanted to know what effect this change would have on ghosts and gods like the Lord of Hell.
That's why he had to send Alexis and Rivan, the ghosts who belonged directly to him, to the scene—
This is both to save people and to probe the changes of the Lord of Hell.
At the same time, it is also an experiment.
After all, if it is feasible to borrow the power of the ghosts and help save people behind the scenes, then in the future, he can help in places like Wenchuan......
Of course, the premise of all this is that by 2008, Charlotte can still ensure that she can have enough mana to power spells.
After all, after 911, he obviously felt that because of the further decline of the aura, the mana that needed to be consumed by using the same spell had become a lot more.
It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that he had been preparing before, establishing the main god space, and obtaining a channel to quickly obtain mana, then it was still unknown whether his mana at this time would be enough to support Alexis and a few ghosts to go thousands of miles to rescue.
"Fortunately, I prepared it in advance, and the mana is still enough!"
Charlotte was also a little scared in her heart,
"However, it was not easy to become abundant in the use of mana, and because of 911, it suddenly returned to a state of just enough!"
And this is precisely why Charlotte can only send three ghosts to help, and she does not plan to go to the scene.
After all, there are no old ghosts under his subordinates, and they generally lack mana-
Alexis, their long-range activities and the use of some powerful spells require Charlotte's mana to support them.
In this case, he can only retreat to his home as a logist.
"When will my mana be enough to care about any techniques and tactics, as long as A passes?"
Charlotte sighed to herself.
Of course, not going to the scene is somewhat related to Charlotte's ambivalence -
He knew about 911 beforehand, but he couldn't and didn't want to stop it.
But he didn't have any ill feelings for the people who died in that incident, so he wanted to save people.
This made Charlotte somewhat conflicted.
What's more, as mentioned earlier, he sent his ghosts to save people, and the purpose was not simple......
Of course, no matter what, saving people is saving people.
Charlotte doesn't have a virgin's disease and doesn't feel guilty about it.
In the end, he understands very well that he has always been a very realistic person-
Most of the time, he is willing to help others, but only if he does not encounter harm.
- It's like the principles he talked about when he first met Charlize about dealing with ghosts.
- If he encounters a ghost that he can't deal with, if he can run, he will not hesitate to run away.
"After all, I'm such a realistic person!"
Charlotte pondered silently.
"You don't have to think too much about it. ”
Maybe it was because Charlotte had always looked ugly, and after sending Alexis and the three of them away, Charlize couldn't help but comfort,
"Even if you know magic, you're not a god after all, so you don't need to worry too much. ”
"yes!"
Charlotte hugged her soft wife, and finally put aside the contradiction in her heart.
"We have a lot of work to do!"
"You mean as a Hollywoodman?"
"Of course!"
In a sense, the phrase how difficult it is to prosper the country is not an empty word.
When great difficulties and crises arise, as long as the organization is effective, the power of society will be released at one time.
And people's spirits will also be sublimated to a certain extent in this release.
-- This is true for China, and it is also true for the United States.
The difference is simply that Americans haven't had a disaster for too long.
- They forget how it feels when faced with danger.
However, even so, Hollywood, as the gathering point of one of the two waves of people in the United States who are best at acting, still performed remarkably well in 911.
Hollywood stars not only made donations, but also quickly organized charity performances to cheer people up.
In contrast, another wave of people who are good at acting, the performance of politicians in Washington is a little dissatisfied-
Perhaps because the Pentagon in Washington was also attacked, politicians have a sense of self-endangerment.
Although they are also performing in various ways, they always give people a perfunctory feeling.
- There's no way around it.
- After all, whether it's a conspiracy theory or an accident, 911 happens, and in essence, there is also an element of inaction on the part of the U.S. government.
This will naturally be scolded.
Especially those who are fighting under the Petronas Twin Towers in New York, or waiting to be rescued.
This was the case with John McLaughlin and William Gimenor.
In order to save people from the rubble of the Twin Towers, New York City has concentrated a large number of public officials with rescue capabilities, and John and William, who are police officers, are naturally among them.
However, in the face of such a serious and dangerous disaster, the rescuer often becomes the rescued.
In the ruins that would collapse and even fall with a bang from time to time, John and William were also trapped-
"The CIA spends so much money every year to do things abroad, but everyone else blew up New York, and they didn't notice it at all, these rice buckets!"
William couldn't help but want to scold, but he was also weak.
After all, the lives of the two of them are also in danger at this time, and the abuse will not solve the problem, but it will only make the situation worse-
"If I were you, I wouldn't curse - save some strength and try to stay conscious for a little longer! ”
John persuaded his companions.
"But if you are sober for a while, it means that we will suffer for a while more!"
William sighed.
His thigh was pierced by a protruding steel bar, but luckily it didn't penetrate the femoral artery, but the pain didn't diminish because of it.
In particular, in order to avoid blood loss, he could not manage to extract the steel bars from his legs at this time.
- Moreover, he couldn't pull it out at all.
"Don't priests often say that people are born to suffer?"
He smiled wryly and said,
"Now, that's a true portrayal!"
"No, you're saying the opposite!"
John, by contrast, was more optimistic—although, at this time, his injuries were not light,
"We suffer to live!"
