Chapter 448: Who's the Hero?
The cold numbers in the newspapers are shocking enough, but in the real world, they represent lives, thousands of families have lost loved ones, and countless children have been displaced on the same day.
For the first time, Miss "Justice" realized so deeply what Louise once said: the extraordinary and the ordinary live in two completely different worlds.
These two worlds should not interfere with each other, but why can the extraordinary bring irresistible disasters to ordinary people so easily?
In the eyes of the high-level extraordinary, the life of ordinary people is probably just a number.
Based on the occult knowledge learned from different sources, it can be inferred that the higher the sequence, the less humanity it may have...... Audrey thought that she was afraid that one day she would become a cold person and become indifferent to life.
Becoming extraordinary is really a path full of twists and madness.
"Audrey, what's wrong with you? Not happy? ”
A gentle voice sounded beneath her feet, and Audrey looked down and saw Susie's curious eyes.
Susie also saw today's newspaper, but she did not have a deep understanding of the disaster, she knew that more than 10,000 lives were a large number, but she lacked the sadness and sadness to empathize.
If 10,000 dogs died, I wonder if Susie would feel sad...... Audrey's thoughts suddenly diverged, and she forgot the sadness in her mind for a while.
Suddenly, Susie "swooped" twice, and Audrey came back to her senses, and there was a clear knock on the door in her ears.
In the next second, the mother, Lady Catherine, and the father, the Earl of Hall, held hands, smiled proudly, and praised in unison:
"Beckland's heroes, it's time for us to play."
Hero, am I a hero...... Audrey asked herself silently, staring at the bright smiles on the faces of her father and mother, as if she had long forgotten the casualties of more than 10,000 people.
With the professionalism of a "psychiatrist", Audrey exhaled slowly, bloomed an elegant and bright smile, and followed her parents out of the lounge and into the party hall.
It was a grand ball, no sadness, no pain, lively and cheerful atmosphere that lingered in the crowd.
............
The impact of the Great Bakerland smog event is far-reaching, and people at different levels have different perceptions of the incident.
Ordinary people whose families have been destroyed by this disaster are the most painful and helpless, but they are also the most neglected group, and the most are the number that some mourn after dinner.
Their death would have changed the situation in Rune so much that King George III had made great concessions, and many people benefited from it, including many more ordinary people who had come to Beckland for their dreams and livelihoods.
In a sense, these dead people are also heroes, but they themselves probably don't want to be this "hero".

"Firth, your information turned out to be true!"
Miss Hugh, who had left Beckland early and learned of the disaster through the newspapers, could not hide her shock, and she said in a loud voice:
"There was a big smog in Beckland, killing and injuring tens of thousands of people."
Firth was equally horrified by the outcome, but she didn't think it was an ordinary smog, she was pretty sure that there was the involvement of extraordinary beings, and perhaps a game between the gods.
In addition, Miss Hugh's words showed that she had not believed in Firth's information, but unfortunately the latter was not in the mood to take this seriously, so she simply said:
"Let's hope the disaster stops."
Miss Hugh nodded firmly, and said:
"If something so big happens, the extraordinary people of the church will definitely attach great importance to it, and I believe that the rest of the dangers will soon be eliminated."
Then she looked at Furth, with a little more sincerity in her eyes, and asked:
"When are we going back to Beckland?"
Fore thought for a moment and replied:
"We'll see tomorrow."
Because, tomorrow is Monday, she can be confirmed at the "tarot meeting", has the danger of Beckland disappeared?
............
"In my opinion, more than 10,000 fresh lives, those nobles don't care at all!" This is an angry rebuke from the "soothsayer" lady.
Rebecca, who could barely be counted as a descendant of a nobleman, explained softly:
"The infected patients are being treated gradually, and I believe the government will not let them go."
Katrin snorted coldly, she was a Baiam, and she didn't like Rune by nature, and then emphatically said:
"You've also seen it in the past few days, what are the medicines distributed by the Rune government enough?"
"I think they want to let these infected patients die quickly, and then recruit a new batch of workers to come in......"
Katrin wasn't the kind of Southlander who hated the Rune government, and she only rebuked her because of what she had seen.
After the Great Smog Incident, all walks of life in Rune showed an attitude of actively saving the disaster, but how many people did it sincerely, and how many people just shouted slogans, it is a matter of opinion.
Rebecca's grandfather, Russell, can be regarded as a figure in Beckland's high society, and he organized his students to serve as volunteers to actively help the injured and infected people, and Katrin and others also joined in this act of kindness.
It was this volunteer experience that made Katrin recognize the hypocrisy of the Rune government and hate it.
In contrast, Miss Maid is much calmer, probably because of her "psychiatrist" abilities, or perhaps because she learned part of the truth from Louise in advance.
Sophia gently released a "reassurance", which made Katrin's anger subside a lot, and then looked at Rebecca, who was not very good-looking, and then spoke:
"After a few busy days, most of the patients have been treated, which shows that the people of Beckland are not as ruthless as you say."
Seeing that Katrin still wanted to refute, Sophia raised her hand and pressed it, and continued:
"Anyway, after all, we've been living in Beckland for months, and let's make a good memory of the city in our last days away."
Katrin muttered, "The sooner you get out of here, the better." ”
Then, she turned to Rebecca and asked:
"Are you going to leave here with us?"
Rebecca raised her head, her eyes were slightly dazed, and she hesitated:
"I don't know ......"
Sophia smiled and said:
"The answer to this question may not be known until the end of the conversation between Miss and Mr. Russell."
After that, the eyes of the three of them invariably looked in the direction of the study.
