Chapter 132: Vol2 Ch30: Only in fear can one clearly see their own position
“Damn it!” Chang Xia slamd the table in his rage.
The mastermind behind this was a considerable scher.
All surveillance footage of the street where Lu Ming Hao was assaulted had been cut, leaving only incomplete recordings that all contained the mosaic censor.
From the view of that version, without any proper beginning or ending, the only thing that could be seen was Lu Ming Hao committing arson in daylight.
The D.E.R division’s office was being sward by civilians roused by their emotions; they were demanding the D.E.R division to surrender the arsonist while also accusing them of sheltering criminals.
Regardless of how they explained, the people only believed that the D.E.R division was lying to cover up for Lu Ming Hao.
“What’s the situation at the Negary Inc. storefront?” Chang Xia asked.
“Highly undesirable. The people we sent to calm the populace down couldn’t accomplish their jobs at all. The protestors might charge into the Negary Inc. storefront to steal their property at any mont” Seven solemnly replied: “I suggest we resort to forceful suppression imdiately”
“They’ve been completely blinded by their own beliefs, simply language wouldn’t be able to affect them any longer” Seven frowned as she reported.
“The problem is that the mastermind might be waiting for us right here” Chang Xia cald down and assessed the situation: “I suspect that there is an Authority at work here, for example, sothing like the [Rebellion] Authority”
“Otherwise, they are acting too irrational” Chang Xia shook his head.
Part of this was due to a large part of the D.E.R division’s dark past being revealed to the public, but every coin had two sides. Although the D.E.R division did have quite a bit of dark history, they had also made a lot of contributions.
It was the sa for Authority Holders, perhaps quite a few of them were bewitched by their own Authorities and made mistakes, sotis severe mistakes, but quite a few of them also maintained their original beliefs and continued to live normal lives, or lived while using their Authorities to prevent disasters from occurring.
However, the flow of the public opinion was too one-sided this ti around, a sign that there was involvent from an Authority Holder.
For example, during Lu Ming Hao’s incident, although you couldn’t deny that there were many idiots in this world who did stupid things, the young man who confronted Lu Ming Hao was too much of an idiot, despite knowing that he could be killed if the other side retaliated at all, he still actively provoked such a thing to happen.
“Not good, the protestors have begun to act, they’re charging into Negary Inc. storefront to steal their products, and even their computers” after reporting that, Seven’s expression turned heavy.
“Direct all personnel to suppress them with force, regardless of the outco, the results would be far worse if Wang Yuan personally acted” Chang Xia closed his eyes: “And also, pay attention to Ye Kong’s movents. As soon as he entered the 6th domain, this violent movent imdiately began, this can’t be just a coincidence”
…
“This is mine!”
Everyone was madly snatching everything that they could from the Negary Inc. storefront, so people were even harassing the receptionist girls of the company, saying that it was their fault for ‘helping criminals’, as if that excused them from their current acts of stealing and harassnt.
The security doors leading to the company office were torn open using ergency fire hatchets, after which the people began to take anything and everything of value, the joy of destruction had completely changed them from how they normally were, becoming almost unrecognizable.
Sitting in his office, Negary maintained a cold gaze, as if waiting for sothing.
He seed to be indifferent to the commotion downstairs as Noah and Jack stood behind him on both sides.
〖 Humans truly are an easily manipulated species. A lot of the ti, their rationality is nowhere near as effective as they believe it to be. With just a bit of guidance, they can be made to do things that they would never do in their entire lives 〗
Negary could already hear the heavy footsteps approaching outside the hallway. Quite a few people among these protestors were highly educated, they should know quite clearly what an Authority Holder was capable of, and that Negary could easily kill them if he wanted to.
But while they were committing their cris, they had a certain level of blind faith and confidence that Negary would not dare to use Disasforce to kill them.
As the ergency fire hatchet broke through the precious wooden door, splinters flew everywhere, through the gap on the door, their warped hysterical faces could be seen.
〖 Are the people of the D.E.R division not here yet? 〗Negary casually asked.
“Only a few peacekeepers personnel are here, but they’ve been tied up” Noah affird this: “It seems soone is lurking in the shadows”
〖 Then there is no other way 〗Negary grinned as he watched the rabid crowd of assailants who were comparable to stray dogs in heat charging into his office. He leaned his face onto his palm and showed a willful expression: 〖 Since I can’t rely on others, we have no choice but to do this ourselves 〗
The crowd of assailants had already made it inside, the man in charge wielded his hatchet with an excited expression and loudly demanded: “Wang Yuan, surrender the technology behind your products, or I will let you taste my hatchet”
〖 Hatchet? 〗Negary smirked, although it was very probable that these people were being affected by an Authority to act this way, but being affected Authorities didn’t affect your IQ, so a person who could say such a thing was truly… foolish.
〖 You an the thing you’re holding? 〗Negary clapped his hands: 〖 Isn’t that just a dead person’s arm? 〗
The man squinted his eyes and instinctively looked down at what he was holding, only to see the hatchet in his hand had vanished without a trace and turned into a severed arm that was dripping fresh blood.
That fleshy sensation, that foul stench of blood, as he tried squeezing it, the remnant neurons even made the arm twitched a bit.
The man scread in horror and reflexively threw the thing in his hand away, only after he heard the sound of tal hitting the ground did he regain his senses and notice that the thing he threw away was indeed an ergency fire hatchet.
These people were already in a trance of their own making, having fully focused their attention while acting on impulse, so it was child’s play to hypnotize them.
With a lick of his lips, Negary’s originally amiable and personable aura vanished, replaced by an overwhelming sense of terrible aggression that trivialized human life that spread all around the room. Each and every person here felt themselves being coiled around by countless poisonous snakes, depriving them of any courage they had to move.
〖 Although I can remove my own emotions and feelings, I’ve never removed my sense of fear 〗Negary slowly stood up, his overwhelming presence caused these people to start trembling.
〖 In the end, people have to feel fear in order to clearly see their own positions. But since you’ve been living in a ti of peace for far too long, your sense of fear has beco dulled. In the Fla world, even a 3-year-old child understood the simple truth that you couldn’t point your weapons at powerful people 〗
Negary reached one finger out and pressed it against the leading person’s chest, the razor-sharp nail directly went through his flesh, slowly sinking in until Negary’s entire hand was inside his chest, tightly gripping his madly beating heart.
With a faint smile, Negary gently asked: 〖 So, have you seen it clearly yet? 〗
