Chapter 529: Hero (2-in-1 Chapter)
Mr. Reporter did not give up, and added another fire.
"But you have power, and the greater the power, the greater the responsibility."
"But the responsibility is too big for us to bear. Like you said, I am the one who caused all this. These people died because of me. I shouldn't have gone any further, or something like this would have happened. Let's end there. β
β.β¦..β The journalist was speechless. He began to have a vague feeling that he had done something stupid. The woman in front of her is a superhero who has saved tens of thousands of people. Perhaps some of the survivors in the square may agree with him. But audiences all over the world will hate him for it. In the eyes of those melon-eating masses, she is definitely an out-and-out hero.
If there is any more such assault and the woman in front of you does not show up. It is estimated that the angry populace will directly tear him apart. Because the power of the government is extremely powerless in the face of these supernatural attacks, and these strange warriors are actually the main force against the darkness. But now, it seems that the main force wants to 'retire'. And it seems to have been retired by himself. This......
However, Caitlin did not give him a chance to make amends. She even pulled out the long sword behind her and handed it to the journalist.
"It's a magic sword. As long as the person who holds it can get a super sword technique like me. As you become more familiar, when the sword recognizes you, you will exert the same power as me. I'm tired, and I'll leave the rest to you. Pick up this sword and go fix my mistakes, please. β
At this time, in the reporter's heart, I only felt that there was @#Β₯...... & amp; amp; *%Β₯#ι£θΏ, what is the situation with this Nima. Why did you put the blame on me. I'm not going to fucking fight those monsters.
There is no threshold for the profession of superhero. At least Lin Xuan knew that a second-year teenager, wearing a green jumpsuit and holding two sticks, dared to go out on the street to do chivalrous deeds. And what he did was to rush up and be beaten, until the people who beat him were afraid of beating him to death, but began to feel weak.
Without a doubt, that guy is arguably the most inferior superhero. What he has done is not advisable. But it clearly shows that the threshold for superheroes is not high. It's just that if you want to face the real darkness, you need more than just courage and masks.
The existence of superheroes is an extremely complex issue. Most of the people at the bottom recognize their existence. But in any case, their existence is not legitimate. It also gives a lot of people a reason to attack them. Law and justice, in theory, should be one. But in reality, everyone knows that this is not possible.
There are always dark corners that the light of the law cannot reach. This is also the reason why in many superhero worlds, those superheroes exist by default. Most of the people in the upper positions actually know it in their hearts. Although they shout about the illegality of superheroes. But even the superhero registration bill only requires all superheroes to disclose their identities to the government. If it's true, as those lawmakers said, that superheroes are illegal, why not just issue a wanted warrant.
Because those in high positions actually know. Their world needs these guardians in the dark. But the desire for power makes them fearful. That's why I always keep making all kinds of moths, and it's difficult for those superheroes from all aspects. This also leads to the hardest level of being a superhero.
A professionally trained person can hit four or five strong men with his bare hands. After receiving a gunshot wound, you can grit your teeth and dig out bullets with a dagger. They are able to endure all kinds of suffering. But there is one thing that even the strongest person can hardly bear. Can you stand the grievances?
You do your best to help others, only to turn around and report you. You saved the city, but the police in the whole city treat you as the most wanted criminal. You saved the world, but you were stigmatized as a crisis maker. The lethality of this grievance can hurt those guardians more than any physical wound. And among them, all kinds of unscrupulous media can be said to have contributed a lot.
It's like this unknown reporter in front of me. He clearly knows that a superhero who can save tens of thousands of lives is undoubtedly a good person. But in this world, there are many more ways to deal with good people than bad people. The most typical thing is that you can splash dirty water on your imagination at will. Is the other party a good person? It's a superhero, so I can't rush up and beat you up.
This is what journalists rely on in their hearts. He likes to use such sharp questions to create trouble, which is his usual means of promotion and salary increase. Only this time there seems to be something unexpected. Did you push yourself too hard? This woman seems to want to give up?
Mr. Reporter's cold sweat came down all at once. He could have taken the argument to the other side. But in any case, he can't deny that the other party has just saved tens of thousands of people. This fact that cannot be ignored is a talisman for the other party. And he's just a small character after all. If today, the other party directly quits the industry because of his stimulation. Then the responsibility he bears is great.
Mr. Reporter doesn't understand that superheroes shouldn't be the ones who should be wronged, silent, and silently bear it. Isn't it a person who should stick to his job no matter what kind of slander and sarcasm he receives? It's not the same in front of me. Haven't I started firing all my fuel yet? You're going to pick a pick?
What's more, what did the other party do? She gave the sword to herself? This is to inherit her career by herself. Mr. Reporter said that my career is very promising and I do not plan to change jobs. But it was too late. Not only him, but all the surviving news people at the scene, as well as dozens of media and dozens of cameras that had just arrived, all pointed their cameras here. And faithfully recorded everything that just happened.
People all over the world have seen Mr. Reporter's performance. Especially when Caitlin said that sentence, "We are all civilians", Mr. Reporter knew that it was not good. Now the other party has handed over some kind of weapon with a sense of inheritance. As a 'civilian' who can only talk rhetorically. Whether you pick it up or not, it's a dead end.
Taking it means that you have to take over the other person's work. At the same time, bear what the other person endures. This is of course impossible, and Mr. Reporter is clearly an upgraded version of a Celestial Empire keyboard warrior, a troll who dares to face to face. And it's only the kind that sprays good people. Let him draw his sword and cut the monster, or wash and sleep.
But if you don't pick it up, the squirting you just now will be a bit heart-wrenching, and it's your own heart. You say that the other person's actions caused this consequence. If the other party is not doing it right, then you will try it. The wise words of the Great Heavenly Empire, you do it, you go up.
"Aren't you going to take it? It's a pity, I thought you could do better? In that case, so be it? I'm leaving it here, and hopefully someone better will inherit it. β
In the stunned eyes of everyone, Caitlyn directly stuck her long sword into the ground. Then he walked out without looking back.
The stunned media only reacted at this time. A hero who picks on a child when he doesn't agree with him is rare. And it's the most influential superhero of our time, which is a historic moment.
Countless reporters rushed at Caitlin, but not all, some of them rushed towards the unknown reporter. Mr. Reporter, vocabulary is undoubtedly a huge topic.
"Excuse me, this lady. Are you going to give up? Did you give it up because of the reporter's remarks? β
Journalists? Who doesn't take the rhythm. As soon as he came up, he directly attacked his peers. Unscrupulous reporters forced the hero of salvation to leave. It's just the perfect headline. You can add another sentence later, such as 'the shame of the industry'. It's exciting to think about.
"Give up? Even if it is. I've been fighting for a long time. It feels like a lifetime. I'm tired, very tired. I want to go home. Although, it didn't come to greet me. β
Caitlin didn't throw the blame at the unknown reporter head-on. I just said that I was a little tired. The tired and slightly disappointed eyes, as well as the somewhat stumbling steps, pierced the hearts of countless viewers at once.
At this time, everyone clearly saw that this was just a girl who was less than thirty years old. The heroic posture with which she held the sword of flame was so resolute. But after removing all the masks, she was so vulnerable. The phrase, 'No one will come to meet me.' It made millions of people across the United States cry. This is a girl who has been burdened with unimaginable pressure. But she was harassed by that hateful journalist. For a time, the unknown reporter was hated by millions, if not tens of millions. If the mind could kill, he would have died countless times.
No one came up to inquire about Caitlyn again. She's been through so much, she's saved so many lives. She is qualified to say that she is tired.
All the reporters automatically got out of the way. watched Caitlyn slowly walk to the periphery. A soldier who had been lightly wounded in the battle seemed to know her.
"Catelyn." He stopped Catelyn. But looking into Catelyn's eyes, he seemed to understand something.
"Let's go." He seemed to have a thousand words, but in the end they only came together into these two words.
Caitlyn nodded slightly, didn't say a word, just moved on.
At this time, everyone finally found out that the girl's name was Caitlin. At this time, some patrol officers in Woodtown finally recognized that the girl was Caitlin who disappeared two years ago.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦..
Almost all public events across the country have been suspended. Because everyone's attention is focused on the Times Square incident. and the girl named Caitlin. As for whether these heroes in the dark should appear or not, countless bricks and beasts have discussed. But this time it was rare, and no one dared to erase her merits.
After all, Caitlin and the witchers have saved countless lives. And in the end, she even threw down the inheritance weapon and chose to go home. She is now a hero, responding to the image of the victim. It is the object of care that the people of the United States and the world want to care for. At this time, coming out with rhythm, of course, can bring extremely high heat to yourself. But the last guy who did this, the house was burned to ashes.
Inside a safe house on the ground floor of the White House. Once again, a meeting at the highest level has been convened. Since the last Caitlyn break-in, all high-level security meetings have been moved to the safe house. Only this time the atmosphere of the whole meeting was a little strange. Because there was no participation of the president in this meeting.
The United States is a standard capitalist conglomerate nation. All kinds of congressmen, senior members of the U.S. government, and even U.S. presidents. Essentially, they are all about supporting their own consortia. This makes their own rights somewhat empty. And now the world is at an inflection point in history. The influence of the major established consortia is at an all-time low. The power apparatus of government is on the eve of change. Those puppets who were originally supported have begun to have some different thoughts at this time.
And the nature of this meeting has also become a little delicate. Because this is a meeting held by a group of people who are not willing to be puppets.
"It's obviously a show. The Night's Watch didn't know what the purpose was, and was doing their best to build momentum for the girl. Look, there will be new attacks soon. The whole world will miss her. She would be the most popular hero of all time. At that time, if she ran for president, she would probably crush everyone. β
"Do you think she's going to be interested in the president?"
"Why not? That's the most powerful position in the world. β
"Hehe, when her every move can affect the whole world. How much do you think a president tempts her? β
"Actually, I don't think it's exactly a show. I analyzed the video from that night. Every shot was analyzed. Her reaction was real. It is an inflow of real emotions. There's no denying that there's a showmanship. But overall, she should be a hero in the truest sense of the word. It's just that behind her, there is a powerful force that is pushing something. I can't be wrong about that. β
"So what? What does this mean for us? β
"Meaning. I think this is a turning point in the fate of this country. Think about it, would you rather work with an old politician who is an old conglomerate, or would you like to work with a hero? And behind this hero, there is a powerful force. β
"I admit times are changing, but not to that extent. Those families in the shadows, they still have an overwhelming advantage. We are no match for them. β
"That's why we need allies. And now, there is a perfect ally at hand. Friends, we are all powerful politicians in the eyes of the people. But we know for ourselves that we are just a bunch of puppets. It's time to expand our reach. We can build a whole new order. β
