Chapter 389 Appealing to Emotion and Reasoning



Within the capital city, almost everyone is watching Xia Tianqiong's live stream.

Whether ordinary citizens or masked men, everyone wanted to know if he would keep killing and whether he could resolve the crisis in the capital.

Some people are hopeful, while others are worried.

Suddenly, in the live stream, Xia Tianqiong's smile vanished, her face hardened, and her expression turned serious.

Many people felt a jolt in their hearts. One second they were smiling, the next they were serious. Their quick change of expression was unlike that of a normal person.

I wondered if he would do something even more perverted!

Especially those masked men, they were all on tenterhooks, afraid that he would come knocking on their door.

Xia Tianqiong looked at the phone camera, remained silent for a few seconds, and slowly said, "As you all have seen, no matter how many advanced magical artifacts and tricks the masked man has, they are as weak as chicks in front of me, utterly vulnerable."

They killed people relentlessly for their own gain, but in the end, I benefited the most. I should really thank them.

As he said this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up in a smile.

Everyone watching the live stream agreed with his statement.

Those masked figures, after all their fuss and accusations, end up doing all the work for others; they deserve it.

Xia Tianqiong glanced at the comments and continued, "Since the arrival of the supernatural, I don't remember how many people I've killed. Some deserved to die, and some were innocent."

I never considered myself a good person, but when I had the power to crush the vast majority of people, I suddenly understood a principle: when poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven. I want to restore order to this chaotic world.

Even if this world is destined to be destroyed, it should be because of the bizarre, not because of internal strife among humans.

That's why I liberated all the towns and cities in the country, wiped out ancient families with thousands of years of history, and killed countless people.

I'm not saying this to take credit or to boast, but to tell you that I came to the capital to solve the capital's problems.

Anyone who creates chaos will be wiped out, just as you've seen, slaughtered using the most brutal methods. You should know I have the strength and means to do so.

Xia Tianqiong spoke calmly, but his eyes held a chilling intent.

Even through a screen, it sends chills down your spine.

Even the comments on the bullet screen have decreased significantly.

The current chaos and the masked men's instilling fear in the public have left many hesitant about joining their ranks. Some even possess masks in their homes, undecided about whether to use them.

Hearing Xia Tianqiong's threat and recalling his twisted methods of killing, many people suddenly changed their minds.

After all, nobody wants to be humiliated by Xia Tianqiong's live stream.

Xia Tianqiong paused for a moment, looked at the messages on the screen, smiled again, and spoke in a much gentler tone.

"To be honest, I can understand what the masked man did. He killed people to loot equipment and skills, all in order to become stronger and protect his family and himself."

After all, this is the end times; it's either you or me, there's no morality to speak of. But you must recognize this reality: no matter how strong you are, you will ultimately die by my hand.

So it's time to stop. I can give you a chance, a chance to start anew. As you just saw, I can help you remove your masks and never be misled again.

From this moment forward, within three days, if any masked person voluntarily steps forward, I will remove their mask for free, and from then on they will become normal people, no longer indiscriminately killing innocent people, and their past actions will be forgiven.

Three days later, I will once again unleash a city-wide massacre. Not a single masked man will be spared; I will kill them all.

Xia Tianqiong spoke sincerely, and still had a smile on his face, but people suddenly felt that he was not so abnormal anymore.

The live stream screen was flooded with comments again.

"Boss Xia, don't give the masked men a chance, kill them all!"

"The masked men don't deserve forgiveness; they must all be killed!"

“We masked people aren’t all indiscriminate killers. I only wore the mask because I had no choice but to fight against other masked people. Please, God of Summer, save me.”

"I am the masked man. I have killed two people and now I am filled with remorse. Please help me remove my mask."

Among the barrage of comments, most demanded that all the masked people be killed, while a few masked people stood up and were willing to have their masks removed.

Xia Tianqiong's next words, however, stirred the hearts of even more masked people.

"Listen up, all you masked people! I'll not only help you remove your masks for free, but I'll also buy them with ghost money—ten thousand ghost money for each mask."

In addition, 100,000 mysterious artifacts will be offered; the masked men who arrive first can choose to exchange them for masks.

As he spoke, he casually took out a large amount of ghost money and magical artifacts, piling them up on the rooftop like a small mountain, which was quite a sight.

The style of the comments in the live stream suddenly changed.

"I have two masks in my collection that I've never used. Can I exchange them for a ghost artifact?"

"Boss, can I turn myself in to you now?"

"Paying money to buy masks? Won't that lead to more people killing people to get the masks?"

"Is it worth killing someone for just 10,000 ghost money? Everyone has tens of thousands at home. If people were willing to kill someone for 10,000 ghost money, the capital would have been in chaos long ago. Why would we have waited until today?"

Xia Tianqiong looked at the comments on the screen. Most of them were the result he wanted. Occasionally, someone would raise an objection, but that was also drowned out by the large number of comments.

He looked at the screen and said his last words: "I have said what I needed to say. Now, please let the leaders speak!"

After saying this, he ended the live stream.

However, the live broadcast that viewers saw instantly switched to the official press conference.

A group of bigwigs, all high-ranking officials from the central government, were sitting on the stage.

Next, the official statement endorsed Xia Tianqiong's words, promising to spend money to acquire the mask and promising not to hold her accountable for past transgressions.
