Chapter 18: The Root of All Evil
As soon as he walked in the door, before the two newly appointed little doormen closed the door, Tu Gang saw Hill standing quietly at the corner of the corridor, dressed in a purple cheongsam.
Suddenly, Tu Gang touched his bald head with some embarrassment.
Hill will be here, which means that the lie he just told has been revealed.
In fact, those family members are also those civilians who have been rescued, how can they find death and life if they eat well, dress well, and sleep well, not to mention how comfortable they are? His lies would have been able to deceive this innocent and somewhat stupid Miss Ciel.
However, it may really be a fool to be a fool, since this Miss Hill woke up and knew that there were many dead and injured outside because of yesterday's incident, I don't know which tendon was wrong, it was wholeheartedly trying to save people, and it couldn't be stopped, and the most speechless thing for Tugang and their guards was that His Majesty the Emperor actually agreed, and also ordered them to mobilize all the resources they could mobilize to help.
"Hmmm! Your Majesty has definitely taken a fancy to this Miss Hill! Glancing at Hill's beautiful face and slender figure as well as his indescribable gentle temperament as well as the inexplicable gentle temperament that was walking towards him, Tu Gang couldn't help but be a little more convinced of the guesses he had before.
"Mr. Tugang, you didn't embarrass him, did you?"
did not blame him for his deception, but cared about others first, Tu Gang also felt a little speechless in his heart for the stupid simplicity of the person in front of him, but this is the person that His Majesty the Emperor has taken a fancy to, no matter how stupid and simple he is, he dare to slack off.
A little embarrassed, he seemed to touch his big bald head again, and Tu Gang hurriedly replied with a solemn face: "No!" Of course not! I'll have to do what you tell me!" ”
"Well, that's good, thank you."
The undoubted smile and thanks to the person in front of him made Tu Gang suddenly feel a little guilty in his heart, as if lying to the person in front of him was doing something heinous, and he couldn't help but touch his big bald head for the third time, and waved his hand with a little embarrassed smile: "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”
"Then, I'm looking for something with the red pupil, let's go first, goodbye."
"Oops! Good! You go slowly, you go slowly! ”
Seeing the purple figure disappear around the corner of the corridor, Tu Gang also raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Oops~!" Oh, my God! Finally sent this little aunt away! At this time, he was suddenly a little glad that the kid in the uniform of the imperial capital garrison ran fast, because according to the original posture of this Miss Hill, it seemed that she was going to go out to have a look, in case she was seen any 'love' picture...... Tu Gang knew that His Majesty the Emperor had not been in a very good mood in the past two days, and if he was blown by the pillow wind or something, he would be the one who was 'loved'.
"By the way, is this letter addressed to Your Majesty?" Glancing at the gold-patterned envelope that had been pinched in his hand for a long time but was not wrinkled at all, Tu Gang wondered if he should report this matter to His Majesty the Emperor.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Tugang's ears.
"Tugang! Hurry up and get over to labor and management on your shit! ”
"It's over, it's over! This time, I'm afraid I'll have to peel off my skin if I don't die! Tu Gang, who thought that this was the defendant, was so frightened that his legs were instantly weak, but he didn't dare to crawl to the depths of the mansion without the slightest hesitation.
……
Lu Fan has been in a bad mood in the past two days, to be precise, since yesterday morning.
One is that the casualties caused by the previous 'angry incident' are much larger than the intelligence collected by Tugang and others, and the death toll has exceeded one million so far.
To be honest, this number sounds a little scary, but it's just scary, and a single number only makes people feel like a lot of people are dead.
Lu Fan originally felt like this, but he felt as if he had accidentally killed a lot of people, and there was no other feeling, not even the so-called guilt, because he was an ordinary person not long ago, he had no such experience at all.
Just like ordinary people who read the news about earthquakes, tsunamis, and how many people have died, how many people have caused economic losses, they will only think, 'Wow! That's a lot! And then there was no other feeling, not even sympathy, pity, or anything, because they had never seen such a scene, and could not understand what it was like to be a shocking spectacle of corpses strewn in the wilderness and ruined cities, and there were only numbers in the concept of consciousness that surprised them slightly.
And for those who have personally experienced or witnessed these catastrophes, they can truly feel the horror behind those numbers.
In order not to cause the plague, the imperial officials carried out centralized cremation of most of the corpses, and after Lu Fan saw the scene of the mountains of corpses with his own eyes, he had a specific concept and personal experience of the tragedy he caused, and his mood became heavy.
But it's still the same sentence, everyone is dead, and the current Lu Fan doesn't have the ability to come back to life, so there's no point in thinking about it anymore.
The priority is to save those who have survived.
But as Tugang said before, the ruling class of the empire, which has been completely rotten from the inside, only rescues the nobles and the rich, and does not care about the life and death of the common people, and even because they are afraid that the tragedy will happen again and threaten their own lives, these ruling classes devote all their strength and energy to investigating the causes of the tragedy.
As a result, many civilian casualties who could have been saved with proper medical care have become more serious and have died over time.
It can be said that the number of deaths caused by the inaction of the ruling class of the empire is greater than that killed directly by Lu Fan.
But then again, if Lu Fan hadn't suddenly lost his mind, so many people wouldn't have been injured...... In short, the source of all evil is Lu Fan!
And Lu Fan didn't want to justify his identity as the source of all evil, he still had the courage to bear this sin of killing millions!
Now that the dead are gone, all Lu Fan thinks about is how to try his best to make up for the living.
Tu Gang felt that Lu Fan would save those injured civilians because of Hill, but Lu Fan undoubtedly did not have the indifferent and ruthless imperial mentality that Tu Gang imagined, he just wanted to make up for the sins he had committed out of his own heart, and Hill was just the same as he thought, and it was more obvious.
And the reason why Hill thought the same as Lu Fan was because the five people in the night attack, including Hill, had an idea that made Lu Fan feel funny after waking up and learning about the tragedy that happened - they felt that it was because of the inappropriate words and provocative behaviors of themselves and others that Lu Fan was angry, which led to this shocking tragedy, so they (they) thought that they and others were also responsible for a large part of this tragedy.
To be honest, after learning about the thoughts of Night Raid and the others, Lu Fan really felt ridiculous.
Does he need someone else to share this sin?
Undoubtedly, no!
But Lu Fan did not stop the night attack on everyone to rescue those civilians, and even asked Tu Gang and others to mobilize all the resources of the Karui Empire in the imperial capital to assist, because on the one hand, this is also Lu Fan's own idea, and on the other hand, Lu Fan also admires these killers.
After all, not everyone has the courage to share such a sin.
