Because the virtual terminal has transmitted information again.
That was a message sent by the sages of the Church of Christ, an explanation of what was happening at the main venue.
"It's probably something like saying we're lying."
But when they checked, they were stunned.
the reason is simple.
The message not only failed to mention the "truth" they had transmitted into the void, but also failed to mention that what Nilu said on stage was false.
Instead, they acknowledged its authenticity!
But keep watching.
Nilu and the others quickly realized something was wrong.
Because that was only the beginning.
Then, the memories of the soldiers being deceived by the "Doctor" and joining the Fools were transmitted. The focus of the memories was entirely on how the soldiers, who were still "Kabuki" at the time, were deceived by the "Doctor" and joined the Fools during the Tassa Disaster.
As for the atrocities he committed during and after that period.
They didn't say much at all.
And after that.
This indicates that although the soldiers had committed crimes in the past.
However, under the influence of the Little Lucky Grass King, he has turned over a new leaf and decided to start anew.
and.
Although he had no choice but to take Lin Jiu'an's place.
That was entirely because after Lin Jiu'an was captured by the "Doctor," he wanted to atone for his sins in the name of Sumeru.
And after that incident.
Over the past six months, his achievements in saving the people of Sumeru from suffering from monsters on several occasions cannot be denied.
Finally, there was a notification.
Originally intending to atone for his sins against Lin Jiu'an, whom he had once harmed, the stragglers, also known as Ah Mao, finally gave up the idea of having a biological son after much persuasion from the wise men of the Academy.
He decided to hand over the decision-making power for this matter to the people of Sumeru.
He and the sages of the Church decided to hold a three-day vote among the people of Sumeru.
The decision will determine whether he "leaves".
Or should we "stay"?
Chapter 4 Let the Bullets Fly a Little Longer (4K)
On the streets, in pubs, in schools...
Almost all the people of Sumeru were stunned by the sheer volume of information at that moment.
The once bustling city of Sumeru.
now.
You can hear a pin drop.
It was like the calm before the storm.
Then, with a thunderous roar, the entire city of Sumeru erupted in chaos, with endless discussions filling the streets and alleys, and the air thick with noise.
People's expressions were filled with gossip and shock.
They had considered that their hero "Ah-Mao" might really be a fake hero, just as Nel had said, but they never expected the process to be so shocking. It turned out that "Ah-Mao" also had another identity: the "Scrapped Soldier," the sixth executive officer of the Fools.
And their original 'heroes'.
The very man who truly thwarted the conspiracy of the Fools and the Sages ended up in such a state.
But soon.
Not many people care about this kind of thing.
That was too far away for them.
Whether it was saving the Little Lucky Grass King, whom they no longer recognized, or thwarting the conspiracy of the Fools, whom they had never seen before, or Lin Jiu'an, whom they had never met before.
But what happened after that.
People talk more about the truth behind the arduous and lengthy descriptions of the Tasha disaster.
The stories of those foreign lands, which most people have almost never visited, captivated their attention.
What excited them even more was that the skirmishers, no, the "hats," had entrusted them with this important opportunity to make a choice!
"How do you think we should choose?"
"Of course, we'll let Lord Ama stay!"
"But isn't that unfair to the real heroes?"
"What's fair or unfair about it?"
"Let's not even talk about the fact that we've never even seen that so-called 'hero.' The fact that he saved Little Lucky Grass King and thwarted the Fools' plot is just something they made up. And even if Little Lucky Grass King really is gone and the Fools' plot wasn't thwarted, what does that have to do with us ordinary people?"
"And Lord Ah Mao truly saved us from monsters several times!"
"Compared to a distant and illusory hero like Lin Jiu'an, Lord A'mao is the true hero of us Sumeru people!"
"Besides."
"With such a pitiful past, it's understandable that Lord A-Mao would become a 'soldier' and do bad things. It would be strange if he became a good person instead. All the blame lies with that damned 'Doctor,' not Lord A-Mao at all!"
"Even if Lord Ah Mao did something wrong."
"Hasn't he already reformed?"
"Haven't you ever done anything wrong?!"
"Put yourself in their shoes."
"You did something wrong, and some vengeful guy will stop at nothing, regardless of whether you've repented or not, and will kill you without giving you a chance. Isn't that kind of guy even more despicable?!"
"Isn't it obvious now that if we really let Lord A-Mao leave, that stingy guy will definitely kill him?"
"Let Lord A-Mao stay."
"We, Sumeru, can continue to receive Lord A-Mao's protection, and Lord A-Mao can continue to live. At most, it's just that that stingy guy won't be able to take revenge."
"But if we let Lord A-Mao leave, he will die!"
"That guy only lost his family, but Lord A-Mao lost his life!"
"Lord A-Mao is someone who saved our lives from monsters, after all."
"I don't want him to die."
"And Lord Ah Mao is so cute, and he looks so cold and cool... cough cough cough."
"Besides, that Lin Jiu'an is so murderous and vengeful, how could he possibly be our hero?! Where in the world could there be such a hero?!"
"That Nel is one too!"
"I think she's holding a grudge because she was rejected by Lord Ah Mao."
"A play I acted in with that guy!"
"It's all to smear Lord Ah Mao!"
"But Lord Ama and the sages of the Order of the Church have already said that what they said is true..."
"so what?!"
"Do you want Lord Ama to die?!"
"Are you even a Sumeru Man?!"
"Lord Ah Mao, did you save our lives?!"
"Don't you have a heart?!"
"Are you an ingrate?!"
"He's already apologized, what more do you want from him?!"
Similar conversations continued to take place throughout the streets and alleys of Sumeru.
The people of Sumeru were talking excitedly.
Three days later.
They only need to answer in the virtual terminal.
It was anonymous.
Yet they could easily decide the life and death of these two powerful figures, figures they had never even dreamed of before...
······
"Lord A-Mao, don't leave us!"
"We want 'Ah Mao,' not 'Lin Jiu'an'!"
"Lord Ah Mao is the true hero of Sumeru!"
"What was Lin Jiu'an doing while Lord Ah Mao was protecting us from the monsters!?"
the next day.
Then, the people of Sumeru spontaneously began to march in the streets holding signs.
"It was Lord Ah Mao who protected us from the monsters!"
"Now, it's time for us to protect Lord A-Mao!"
"Lin Jiu'an!"
"I don't know if you can hear me!"
But everyone makes mistakes!
"The sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore!"
"Lord Ah Mao already knows he was wrong!"
Even if he did something wrong in the past, even if he hurt others because of misunderstandings in the past.
"But he has turned over a new leaf now."
"If you still think of yourself as a hero, then you should learn from Lord Ah Mao's attitude towards life."
"The sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the shore; lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot."
"Being obsessed with revenge is the act of a petty person!"
even.
Some people are still shouting things like, "Lin Jiu'an, get out of Xumi!"
The place where the stragglers lived was also surrounded by a dense crowd of people who spontaneously organized themselves to protect him and prevent him from being suddenly harmed by Lin Jiu'an in a fit of anger.
in the room.
The soldier stood by the huge French windows, looking out at the people who had spontaneously brought their beds and were keeping watch around his house.
A mocking smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
However, he quickly regained his composure and smiled gently.
The crowd below also noticed the stragglers standing by the window. The news spread quickly, and everyone cheered loudly as they looked at Ah Mao through the French windows.
"Lord A-Mao, don't be afraid!"
“You have protected us countless times from those ferocious monsters.”
"Now it's our turn to protect you!"
"Anyone who wants to hurt you will have to step over our dead bodies!"
The crowd gathered outside the villa cheered.
