Chapter 250 is really hard to say.
N76, a suburb of New York City.
Afterwards, Hamilton specifically watched the board's interview video on the encrypted network. Presumably, it had been rehearsed many times, and the thing produced a very good effect.
At the beginning, when the reporter asked Li Lin—the so-called Savior—what his opinion was on the series of riots, he simply said, "If they think they are living such unhappy lives, I might do the same thing, because that's how we rebelled in the first place."
Damn, that's an incredibly grand statement, and it's been quoted repeatedly by the media. The way it's quoted goes beyond common sense, mixed with a lot of personal feelings, making it seem like an emperor generously granting a pardon to a death row inmate and announcing that the person is his personal bodyguard.
In the video, Li Lin showed absolutely no signs of panic or error, as if everything was truly under his control. His expression was no different from that of any idle young man. Perhaps it was due to the perfect lighting, but his facial features had a certain... well, as his ardent fans say, a kind of holy majesty.
Therefore, it's hard to doubt what someone says with this face, no matter how crazy the content may be, and believers blessed by the gospel of heaven wouldn't even think to question it.
Now, all his admirers were caught in the wave of those remarks, and he ended with a very fitting wave and farewell gesture—practically telling them that anyone who wanted to replace him could do so anytime. The image spread like wildfire across the internet. For a while, Hamilton felt nauseous at the sight of those uniform headlines.
That action—and this obsessive dissemination of it—contains a very dull but violent ideology.
What a bunch of idiots, he thought helplessly. This feeling was all too familiar, like the proposers at those roundtable conferences in Europe. They could so easily obtain the right to kill, or the mercy of "God"—it sounds absurd, but at least that's how they've always done it.
The news about the rebels initially only made the public think: Wow, what a shocking report—similar to the indefinite postponement of "The History of Humanity's Blood and Tears." But when the parties involved finally came forward to respond, the fire that had just been extinguished suddenly reignited, and almost everyone was discussing it.
Previously, these kinds of topics weren't ignored, but people's interest was fleeting. Now, everyone is incredibly excited. When Li Lin spoke about them in front of countless cameras, when this deity responded and mentioned his feelings about them, the whole thing changed. They clearly sensed his intentions and his uniquely inflammatory nature.
This is... the influence of blind faith.
No one can exist independently of the thought of such a great sacrifice.
Media outlets across the continent scrambled to embellish the interview video, hoping to grab a slice of the pie offered by the board. Some even fabricated things Li Lin had never said and expanded them into a book brimming with resistance ideology to gain attention.
Of course, the person involved was unaware of this change—and even if he had, it wouldn't have mattered; after the interview, he returned to the virtual salon for a meeting.
Hamilton closed the webpage, feeling utterly empty.
Led by Amber and Nori, he arrived at Sector N76—a dark place said to be a place where violence reigns supreme, a mix of genetically modified individuals and arms dealers.
The two lackeys were squatting next to the SUV, smoking. Their expressions were serious and cautious. They would look around several times after each puff of their cigarette, and they would shake the ash from their cigarettes in their hands to avoid soiling the bags of US dollars they had been given.
In front of them—about a hundred meters away—there was a large steel billboard—the original content printed on it had long been covered up with paint graffiti, leaving only new instructions.
Welcome to this amusement park!
We are independent of the Gospel of Heaven; the only currency in circulation is hard power.
[If you believe your fists are big enough, this will be another paradise, a blissful world prepared only for the strong.]
It has to be said that these notices are incredibly stupid. Although they are arrogant, Hamilton can easily see what an incompetent person is who printed these three sentences. "Go ahead and try if you're strong enough"? I've never encountered such an ancient and brain-dead person in my life.
Along the way, he gathered a great deal of intelligence. Li Lin had practically recruited every operative whose face he could recognize. He meticulously collected information on these individuals, including civilians who had participated in the modification experiments the day after tomorrow, as well as some unfamiliar faces—frankly, none of them posed a threat. Moreover, he had also been keeping an eye on Hebrew's movements. Coincidentally, that chuunibyou seemed to be engaged in a passionate fight with a female operative from the East China branch. The two had already fought their way out of New York City, destroying most of the city along the way, and their current location was unknown… In any case, it would be a long time before they could finish their business.
"My lord, this is the top-secret location I told you about."
“There are some acquaintances of mine in there. They were some of the toughest guys in the Armed Forces Department back then, but they made a mistake and were sent here by the board of directors.”
“Our relationship is alright, and he’s a pragmatic person, but you, sir, are also capable of killing him and unifying the entire N76 district.”
Amber felt goosebumps all over her body and her legs trembled involuntarily as Hamilton stared at her. To prevent the demon from suddenly going berserk, she quickly said...
“That’s right, that’s right. He was a master who underwent seven modification experiments… I saw him before. He could even manipulate the blood source of some things. He was truly one of the best among masters.”
