In February of the 568th year of the Eltino calendar, Reins took the royal capital

In order to boost morale, the news that His Royal Highness Prince Lancelot was about to give a speech on the stage did not take long to spread all over the company.

In the past records, including Jacob's declaration, every time Lancelot took the stage to speak, the consequences were extremely tragic, and he became a famous doom figure on the podium, although this time the position was different, and His Royal Highness did not need to mobilize the Sheters to occupy Jixia City again, but no one can guarantee what the result of the speech would be.

With the full support of the Taiyan Academy, and revealed the noble identity of being a disciple of the Japanese sage, the identity of His Royal Highness the Prince is very different, and even rumors began to be rumored that all the tyrannical and arrogant stupidity before was deliberately pretended by him for the sake of practice, although this statement is suspicious, but in the case of no other choice, the people of Jixia have become a community of interests with Lancelot, if they can't work together, in the face of the army outside the city, there is only the inevitable fate of the city being ruined.

Therefore, although they expected that there would be another third-rate farce to watch today, and that His Royal Highness would probably say something stupid that could be regarded as an international scandal, the people of His Royal Highness still followed the notice, either to the venue where the speech was given, or to the broadcast screen set up by the Taiyan Institute near their home, and prepared to listen to His Royal Highness's speech.

The broadcast screen relies on radio transmission, and the Ancient Demon Dao team in the daytime camp can also receive clear pictures and sounds as long as the receiving channel is adjusted, and even the effort of sending people in to eavesdrop can be saved.

As Lancelot had expected, Bai Qi really did not intend to stick to the restraints, and then decide whether to go to war based on the replies of the people under his command after the appointed time was up, as far as his usual thinking mode is concerned, seizing the opportunity to catch the enemy by surprise is much more important than his own credit.

On the one hand, he accurately estimated the enemy's strength, and on the other hand, he also implemented the concept that "the lion must do his best to fight the rabbit." In the past few days, he has made full preparations. Originally, with the difference in strength between the two sides, even if he was unprepared and directly ordered the army to attack the city, he could achieve victory, but this extremely thoughtful man, because he attached so much importance to preparation in advance, could maintain a glorious record of invincibility in both individual duels and battles between large armies.

The long battle, the bloody scenes that were too cruel, and the unpopularity of their own commanders, the soldiers did not know what to fight for, and in terms of morale, the situation on the side of the day was not much better than in the castle.

The generals were secretly worried that once the war began, a large number of deserters might cause the battle line to collapse in an instant, and they would collapse without a fight, because the morale fluctuation in the past few days was extremely obvious, and it was already nerve-wracking to prevent hundreds of deserters from appearing every night.

On the other hand, even though they are loyal to the Bai family, these generals are not the elite of the Bai family from Xixi Kejia Island, and they are not so absolutely obedient to the head of the family, so they are particularly worried about the murderous nature of this supreme leader, afraid that he will really fulfill his promise, and when the number of deserters exceeds 20,000, he will take the initiative to slaughter these 500,000 generals. The madness of the Bai family is well known to the world, and it can be done if it is said, and everyone does not dare to doubt it at all.

Of course, Bai Qi knew his own predicament, but when the leaders of the Bai family made decisions in previous generations, they never took the factor of people's hearts into account. This is not arrogance, nor is it ignorance that ignores the reactionary nature of the human heart, but the absolute certainty of coping strategies.

"Leader, according to your requirements, the things that should be prepared have been prepared......"

The technicians of the technical team reported the progress of the work to Bai Qi. Everything was in accordance with the instructions, and for many days the soldiers ate food with drugs that stimulated the human body's potential, so that their physical strength was greatly increased, and after a little training, they were able to exert great lethality on the battlefield.

After many years of research at the headquarters of the Taiyan Institute, these drugs are under the slogan of "almost harmless to the human body", and there will be no sequelae that will drag down a lifetime afterwards, and after the effect of the drugs has passed, they are just a little tired, and they will not die on the spot. It sounds very useful, but how can there be such a wishful thinking in the world, not to mention the Bai family, who has taken the adage of "unscrupulous means to achieve the end" to the extreme, so he will not care about the physiological condition of the experimental subject.

The effect of stimulating the potential is very thorough, and while the strength increases, the reaction also becomes sensitive, and the movement is fast, and the combination of several advantages is more than five times more powerful. However, there are gains and losses, and the report of the Taiyan Academy is also very reluctant to admit that no matter how many times it is improved, after injecting the drug into the experimenter's body, while the strength increases, the brain will also become confused, and if you are not careful, it is easy to reveal fatal flaws.

However, for most Bai family heads, this is more convenient. When war breaks out, it is enough for the soldiers below to ignore the danger and rush forward bravely, and it is easy to control, they will not rebel in the battle array, they are completely fearless of death, and they use the ancient demon weapons to carry out suicide attacks, these are the key points.

The funny thing is that among the descendants of the Bai family in the past generations, there are always people who can't wait to pass on the throne, or feel too much pressure on their superiors, so they are determined to replace the rebels, and in order to increase the bargaining chips for the success of the rebellion, it is necessary to first break the consciousness controller and brainwashing technology of the current leader, so it is necessary to secretly carry out reverse research...... This process has been repeated in the changing generations, and finally the Taiyan Institute has achieved amazing achievements in brainwashing equipment and deep hypnosis research.

Recalcitrant rebels are sent to a laboratory, either by removing the anterior lobe of the brain or by administering a mixed anesthetic, and then by placing a tiny device in the brain that can control consciousness. Although the means are disgusting, but it is quite effective, in the group that developed such an instrument, someone boldly proposed that "if there is a way to install this in the mind of the Moon Sage Lu You, the Bai family will be invincible in the world", but in the end, because the feasibility of this project is zero, it fell out as a matter of course, in fact, the reaction of the Bai family's high-level at that time was "If you want to do that kind of thing, simply set the target as the Great Demon God King, horizontal and vertical are impossible objects, and it doesn't matter how high the standard is."

In the past few days, watching the members of the technical team busy carrying out orders, skillfully mixing the prepared special potions into the military food, Han Te, who felt that he was a complete outsider, nibbled on the bread without special ingredients alone, and couldn't help but say his testimonials.

"Well, it turns out that you also know that you are annoying, which is why you use so many unsavory control methods......"

"To control ordinary soldiers, you don't need to spend too much labor, a little basic medicine is enough, it's not as troublesome as dealing with a heavenly master, you have to use instruments, and you have to apply potions for a long time, how about it? Do you want to try it? I can make you more obedient than a pug!"

Regarding Hante's irony, Bai Qi, who was still sitting at the table and giving orders, just said it so well. Knowing that this guy can do what he says, Hunter will naturally not be stupid enough to continue to talk about himself.

"Eldest young master, the speech in Jixia City is about to begin, should we attack first?"

Those who can call Bai Qi by this kind of title are some of the Bai family members who are far older than him and have been with each other for a long time on Xixi Kejia Island, and most of the new generation of peers and juniors are directly addressed to the supreme leader. For such a change in title, Bai Qi himself does not feel annoyed.

"No, order the troops to prepare for the attack, and as soon as he finishes speaking, attack immediately, and now, I want to hear what my hot-blooded brother-in-law has to say, and let me think this is a pre-attack pastime. ”

"Yes, then, we will directly take over the sound and video. ”

After giving the order, there was a quick movement, and on the specially set up large screen, Lancelot appeared with his hands on the lecture table.

The largest oratorium in Jixia City was the large square in front of the Ivory White Tower, which was razed to the ground, but after it was cleared, the venue was more open and could accommodate more people.

Lancelot stood alone on the podium, with no one behind him. He put his hands on the wooden table, his eyes scanned the dense crowd below, and with every bit of his own energy, he carefully looked at the faces with different expressions under the stage, fully sensing their emotions and needs.

Both nobles and commoners have the same position when it comes to the impending crisis, so they are all gathered here at this moment to see what this man who gave them their last hope has to say.

Many researchers from the Taiyan Academy, drinking friends from Hotel Street, a few court elders led by Bai Dezhao, and many people who had met and had never met before, all gathered here, and among them, there were also the three women who cared most about Lancelot in Jixia City.

Ailing was the first to grab the first row. She hadn't slept well since she received her brother's secret notice last night to start preparing a series of tools, and this morning she even rushed to grab a place in the front row to listen to the speech. For this senior brother, she is unreservedly supportive, but for his ability...... Ailing really didn't dare to expect it, so in addition to bringing a bouquet and a megaphone, she also secretly prepared a tool that was assembled last night from scraps and pieces to intercept eggs and tomatoes.

Wearing a peaked hat to hide her beauty, Feng'er has become an inconspicuous little spot in the sea of people. In addition to singing on stage as Leng Mengxue, she has never allowed herself to be the focus of everyone's attention, and now she not only has to listen to Lancelot's speech, but also pay full attention to all the movements in the venue, and do not let anyone with intentions spoil the speech. It's just that, although he tried his best to keep his heart calm, as soon as he remembered what Lancelot said to him last night, and his serious expression, the originally calm heart lake suddenly stirred waves.

(That...... It can't be considered a gamble, right, what does Lord Lancelot think in his heart?)

It's more of a request than a bet. It's a little ashamed to say that in recent years, I have been accustomed to obeying orders, and suddenly encountered this kind of situation that I have to make my own decisions, and I am a little uncomfortable.

If it were usual, with Miss Xiaocao's intelligence and wisdom, she would definitely be able to help come up with a good idea, but this time the problem alone could not be solved with her wisdom. Before figuring out the whole thing, Feng'er didn't want Xiaocao to know.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help but look to the other side, in the crowd near the front row on the left, Xiaocao was standing there, her eyes staring at her silent husband on the stage.

Before taking the stage, I asked if I needed to write the manuscript myself, but my husband smiled and shook his head and refused.

"Don't be so troublesome, what should I talk about, I've already thought about it, I wasn't a fool in your library some time ago, now I'll let you see my strength after special training, wife, you wait to be surprised!"

After saying that, Lancelot laughed, but before leaving, he turned his head and said with a calm but serious expression: "Compared to you and Gengoro, I am really stupid, maybe compared to ordinary people, my head is stupid, but I still want to try it, even if it is regarded as a monkey play, I want to know where the limit of my monkey is......"

These words were a bit chaotic, Xiaocao didn't understand very well, maybe even Lancelot himself couldn't control his mood, but he finally smiled, slapped his wife on the shoulder, and walked onto the podium.

Ordinary husbands are not people who like to do this kind of thing......

Standing on the stage, Lancelot himself was nervous. Without needless reminding, he knew better than anyone the importance of this speech, if successful...... No, you will succeed because you have the confidence to succeed and the certainty that you will make it happen.

It's very magical, in last night's dream, I learned not only the secrets of martial arts, but also the way to be the emperor. At the moment of being in tune with the great overlord's heart, he fully felt the conditions and mentality that he should have as a leader.

Xiaocao and Feng'er, before these two women who are extremely important to their lives, they don't want to lose face anymore, but want to regain their status and dignity. There is also the brother-in-law outside the city, who must be watching from the sidelines now, and use this speech to formally challenge him.

Taking a deep breath, Lancelot opened his eyes, although he only had one right eye, but as he spoke, all the crowd seemed to be penetrated by an invisible fluctuation, and the indescribable charisma of the leader made them feel that the man on the stage did seem to be different from before.

"My people, my countrymen, I am your king, Lancelot, and now speak to you on the eve of this decisive battle. ”

"First of all, I would like to apologize to all of you for the harassment and inconvenience I have caused you since I became Prince of Reyns, and I am deeply sorry for the loss you have suffered over the years, and I promise to make amends. ”

"Since coming to Reins, I have learned a lot from you, confirming the teachings of my stepfather, the Japanese Sage Emperor Taiji, and letting me see the greatness of justice, the cruelty of violence, and the radiance of humanity that you radiate under the threat of powerful evil force, so that I am sincerely proud of you. ”

"It's just...... As you know, I can't do anything I want to because of the Rebels, so this compensation will come when I officially take control of the Reyns Crown. ”

Amazingly, it was just a few simple words, but the whole audience, including the citizens of Jixia who were watching the broadcast, felt a silent fluctuation that was gradually shaking their hearts.

I don't know when the square where tens of thousands of people gathered became silent, except for the breathing of the people and the sound of Lancelot speaking, there was no noise at all, as if the scene of the queen's speech in the past was reproduced, a sacred, solemn and solemn atmosphere, like a wave of tide, began to permeate people's bodies and minds.

With a heavy expression on his face, Lancelot raised his hand and said slowly, "All I can compensate you for is to give back to my people a beautiful homeland, a city that will be better than before...... No, not only Jixia, but the whole of Reins is my compensatory, and I will do my best to bring the ideal country to you. ”

"We are already facing a decisive battle, and until then, I hope that everyone can have a basic understanding. The reason for our war is not as simple as saving our lives, nor is it so filthy as a power struggle, but the war we are fighting will be recorded in the history books as a holy war, a holy war to defend our dreams. ”

"In my mind, what we are facing is not just a simple battle, but a holy war, a revolution, yes, a revolution, because we are fighting with high ideals, and after the destruction of the war is over, we will build a new Reyns. ”

Lancelot's words added firepower to the slowly warming atmosphere in the venue, and sparse applause and cheers began to appear in the silent venue, and increased at a rapid pace.

Ailing, who was standing at the forefront, listened to the words of his senior brother word for word, and only felt confused in his mind, because it was just a speech inspired by the war, and the direction became more and more strange, and it became a political opinion, but he didn't say anything substantial, just used some empty and gorgeous words to attract the attention of the crowd, such a speech has no meaning at all!

It's strange that I know that such words are insincere, but I am very comfortable to listen to them, and my whole body is even numb, and I slowly get hot, and I can't help but want to applaud and cheer.

In my dream, in the future, Reines will have a share in men and a return for women, so that the old will have their ends, the strong will be useful, the young will grow, the widows, the lonely and the sick will all be supported, the night will not be closed, the road will not be left behind, anyway, the ideal can no longer be ideal, everyone says okay?"

Lance Lorand shouted, and the crowd below naturally cheered loudly, like a barrel of fire that lit the fuse, and the cheers were uncontrollable, and everyone was fascinated by the great dream of His Royal Highness the Prince, and vied to say their support.

Ailing, who stood in the front row, was the first to bear the brunt, applauding desperately in this atmosphere, and was about to open her mouth to cheer, a pair of soft palms brushed her cheeks, stuffed two earplugs for her, and covered her nose with a handkerchief that emitted a strong medicinal smell, when the pungent smell went straight into her lungs, her body suddenly felt cool, and her brain suddenly woke up.

"Ah, Sister Xiaocao......"

The small voice was almost inaudible in the cheers of the crowd, Ailing looked at Xiaocao in surprise, and didn't understand why she, as the chief staff of the senior brother, was in the audience instead of going on stage to assist?

Xiaocao smiled silently, poked Ailing with her fingers, and then pointed to something faintly revealing under the podium.

"Ahh......h

The atmosphere in the square gradually rose, and the mood of the masses slowly flowed in a surging direction, and through the broadcast, it permeated the entire Jixia Castle, and even the daytime marching army stationed outside could feel it.

Looking at the broadcast, Han Te was really confused. He really didn't understand what Lancelot said, but to be precise, he could understand it, but he couldn't figure out the real meaning of these boundless and ridiculous words? Why did he think that ordinary words would cause the masses to react in such a way? Could it be that he was really insensitive, and had lost his normal senses?

The group of Ancient Demon Dao technicians around him, all with focused expressions, obviously listened to this speech very attentively, even the inhuman dead dwarf also had a look of attentive listening, except that at the beginning of the speech, he had ordered the spies lurking in the square to "immediately do on-site analysis and send the information back", he didn't say a word.

"Master Qiyu, the results of the on-site analysis have come out. A technician came to Bai Qiqi's side, reporting the results of the analysis he had just analyzed, and listening to him, Hant almost didn't scare his jaw off.

"In the loudspeaker at the scene, special ultrasound waves were being played, affecting the physical and mental state of the masses, and the atmospheric samples obtained on the spot had a high level of pharmaceutical content, and it is believed that special equipment has been hidden around the square, and these gases are being burned and dispersed in a smokeless and odorless form. ”

The technician paused and added, "This mode is very similar to the established model used by the queens of the past, but the effect is better, and it is estimated that it has been improved and broken through on the equipment." ”

"What about my brother-in-law?"

"The speaker's voice, reinforced with celestial power, seems to be using some kind of thaumaturgy similar to the Great Law of Dementorship. The technician paused again and whispered, "Just like what the military royal lead actor liked the most......

"So, is there anything special on the field?"

The technician said in a low voice: "Although it cannot be detected, if the Magic Guild uses Queen Nida's mode back then, it cannot be ruled out that the entire square has been shrouded in enchantments, strengthening the influence of the above facilities......"

"Well, it's really interesting......

"You, what kind of country are you? Sure enough, it's really a cult ......?"

Han Te was dumbfounded when he heard the conversation between the two, but when he saw that everyone around him had a natural expression, he hurriedly pulled over a technician and asked in a low voice.

"Hey, what's going on? ...... they say."

"Oh, that's nothing unusual, long before the Kyushu War, and even from the beginning of the founding of Reins, Her Majesty the Queen used this method to consolidate the ruling power, and in the following thousands of years, only equipment updates and technological improvements have changed, basically nothing has changed. ”

Looking at Han Te's expression after inhaling the poisonous gas, the technician spread his hands and said, "There is nothing strange, things in the world are like this, if it is not for such a means behind the scenes, how can there be a divine image that cannot be broken for thousands of years?"

"Hahahaha......"

Bai Qilang laughed loudly after listening to the analysis report, regardless of his true intentions, at least on the surface, he seemed to be very happy, and it was indeed an abnormal thing for him to express his emotions so clearly.

"My brother-in-law did something very interesting...... Did he want to control all the subordinates and form an army to fight a big battle? In terms of numbers, it was indeed evenly matched, but it was still too naïve......

Quantity is not everything, even if Lancelot has the magic to turn all the soldiers and civilians into warriors, it can't accumulate into the cause of victory in the war, but Lancelot can do it like this, he is already very surprised, next, will he have any surprise tricks that he will not expect?

"Young Master, please take a look at this, from the values transmitted from the scene, something is not quite right here, if it continues like this, it may be ......"

"This ...... Isn't this my own Crackling La Qianli Transmission No. 9? Why is it that a device that can lure birds to approach automatically and make it easy to observe by releasing a sound with a special signal is here?"

Ailing is not a fool, when she said this to herself, and saw the crazy cheers of the crowd around her, she already knew what was going on.

"Sister Xiaocao, is this okay......? Is it really possible?"

Gently stroking Ailing's hair, Xiaocao couldn't answer for a while. What is the standard by which to measure right and wrong? From a general moral point of view, this is of course a big mistake, but the problem is that right and wrong have never been the basis for the Reins family...... Never.

"Girl, this ...... It's politics!"

In the absence of an explanation, such a sentence is the best explanation, and Ailing's thoughtfulness and understanding made her quickly understand the action.

"I understand, let's wait until the enemy outside the city is repulsed!"

While the two were talking, Lancelot on the stage raised his arms and shouted, anyway, the emotions of the crowd below had risen to the edge, and it didn't matter what he said.

"Reyns was founded by our ancestors, who shed blood and sweat and founded a kingdom, how can we let their hard-earned fruits fall into the hands of evil traitors? Rise up! Fight for the motherland! Long live Reins! Defeat the enemy!"

All the facilities were actively operating, and in Lancelot's passionate shouts, the crowd gradually lost their rationality, and the surging blood boiled in the tens of thousands of people in the square, and everyone waved their arms and shouted along with Lancelot's words.

"Long live Reins!

"Brothers, stand up and revolutionize, take the lives of all enemies, and re-establish the great kingdom of Reyns under the banner of freedom, equality, and fraternity. ”

Trying to recall the "Famous Sayings of Great Men" compiled before the speech, Lancelot mixed those famous sentences that he memorized into his own words, trying to stir up the atmosphere in the venue and raise the morale of the people to the highest.

Ailing in the audience couldn't quite understand Lancelot's plan for the battle situation, however, looking at the crowd around him who had lost their minds and shouted loudly, he suddenly remembered something in his mind and was busy pulling Xiaocao's clothes.

"Sister Xiaocao, is Senior Brother using this method to send all the people in Jixia City to the battlefield later?"

"Well, it's true that he was sent to fight, but not as you think, he was going to ......"

"Good...... It seems that there is one thing that is not quite right, when my brother and I borrowed this machine, we said that it would be used to gather birds, so I set the range of influence of the sound waves to be as large as possible, if it is like this......"

"Wait, are you going to tell me that this sonic wave can travel to Alcatraz?"

"It's not that bad, no...... However, according to the original range and energy supply, it should be able to cover a radius of 500 miles outside Jixia City. ”

"Five, five hundred miles?" Xiaocao was really startled, "That's enough to include the entire enemy camp!"

"Luckily, things aren't as bad as they could have been. Ailing patted his chest and said with peace of mind: "Only the influence of sound waves, the effect will not be too strong, senior brother is used with drugs, there is a way to stimulate the emotions of the crowd in this way, under normal circumstances, at most, some birds are summoned, and there is no effect on humans." ”

"Oh, is that so? That's wonderful, that's great......" Slowly exhaling, Xiaocao was just relieved, but something suddenly flashed through his mind, "Oh! no, this is too bad!"

"What's wrong?"

"I ...... It just occurred to me that those troops outside the city might also be taking drugs......"

"Is there really one?, but due to the obstruction of the defensive barrier, the effect of the sound wave is weakened, so a little bit of medicine shouldn't be able to react, right?"

"Uh...... The enemy outside the city is very ruthless, and if there is any drugged, the amount must be more than three times ours. ”

The elder brother outside the city, thinking that he should be preparing to launch a general attack today, with the usual attack mode of the Bai family, he will definitely secretly drug all the generals before the attack, so that they who are mentally in a state of excitement have no scruples and exert the craziest killing intent. Now that it is presided over by the elder brother himself, how can he not use this traditional tactic, if he can't do it, he will use it in a big way, increase the dosage to several times the usual amount, and then give these ultrasound waves a boost, and the result will be......

"Oops! This time it's miserable. ”

“OH！NO～～！”

Thinking of the seriousness of the matter, Xiaocao and Ailing screamed in unison, and with a terrifying expression, they looked at Lancelot, who was scribbling and talking more and more on the podium, and hurriedly waved his hand to ask him to stop speaking, but he was hidden in the crowd and couldn't let him see it.

Lancelot waved his hand as he spoke, and every time he shouted a slogan that he didn't understand, the people in the audience, who had been brainwashed and deranged, applauded wildly.

"In addition to ideals, I also have practical ambitions, and I will never favor the wealthy and oppress the common people. In order to show my sincerity and determination, the compatriots living around Jishita, please rest assured, I promise you that the Fourth Nuclear Energy Plant, which you have been fighting for a long time against the Taiyan Academy, will be abolished and will not be built again, so you can be completely at ease!"

"Your Royal Highness, you are truly amazing!"

"People make the best use of their talents, make the best use of things, make the best use of the land, make the best use of the goods, and enjoy the people, the people, the people, the people!"

"Long live the Prince, long live Your Highness!"

"Freedom, equality, fraternity! Revolution is not guilty, rebellion is justified!"

"Rebellion is justified! Rebellion is justified!"

"Don't ask Reines what he did for you, ask what you did for Reyns. What the people want, I will always remember in my heart!"

"Always in my heart!

"The so-called success is ninety-nine points of genius, plus one point of hard work...... Ahh

"Wrong, wrong, wrong!"

The atmosphere has been brewing to the highest point, even if it refers to the deer as a horse, the audience is still cheering, the cheers permeate the entire Jixia City, Lancelot can no longer find anything to say, and feels that the time has come, quietly turned the sound wave machinery under the podium to the maximum, with the power of the sky, raised his arms and exhaled.

"Zhuang Jing is self-reliant, don't be surprised, compatriots stand up, let's do it now, knock down the enemies outside the city, teach them to know that we are not easy to bully, kill ~~~"

This sentence was shouted with all the strength of the dantian, sweeping the audience like wind and thunder, hoping to play the role of the finishing touch, and sure enough, after a pause, the crowd responded.

"Kill, kill, kill, kill~~~"

The roar as if it was about to overturn the sky exploded deafeningly, and the sound was full of anger, rage, and ferocity, which fully demonstrated the fighting spirit and killing intent of the masses, and the momentum was so strong that even Lancelot was staggered.

"Okay, that's it...... The source of the sound seems to be ......."

When he noticed this, it was already too late, and the roar that sounded from outside the city, like angry waves swallowing clouds, rushed from all directions, and the murderous aura was as strong as a substance, and it instantly covered the entire Jixia City.

It was also at this time that Lancelot understood what was happening, and cast his innocent and blaming eyes on the dean of the Taiyan Academy in the audience.

"Hey, girl, what the hell are you doing? You've hurt you again......
