Chapter 256
Three days after the event ends.
The execution of Gondowicz by Cole Walker on the street made the headlines of major newspapers, and there was a lot of uproar in the world.
The first page of the front page of all newspapers, tacitly, all adopted the photo of Cole cutting off Gondović's head.
The tall execution frame.
Demon-hunter covered in blood.
Crazy, hateful cult leader.
It was also during this time that the name of that powerful demon-hunter: Cole · Walker was known by countless people and was regarded as an idol by countless youngsters.
Fate theorists all claim to the public that that man is the chosen one, and today when the world is eroded by darkness, he is the son of destiny.
Even.
The cases handled by Cole, including the'Noord Order Riot', were once considered by the Demon Hunter Academy in various countries as to whether teaching materials should be added as a classic case to teach young demon-hunter students.
However.
The wind direction of public opinion, after another identity of Gondowicz, was unearthed.
A 180 degree turn was staged.
The critics with ulterior motives began to frantically attack the Mengxi Empire and the Imperial Family Demon Hunting Group, and criticized it. This is a premeditated performance and show.
The purpose is to forcibly launch Cole Walker, a powerful demon-hunter with a trans-epochal significance, in order to achieve a certain ulterior and dark political goal.
Even.
The dark-hearted person, like a mad dog, began to dig out Cole's black material through various channels, trying to directly refute his public image.
Comment on him: There is no bottom line for the show. It is a running dog raised in captivity by the Mengxi cabinet and politicians.
In all media, under official pressure, they tried to guide public opinion and set the scope to discuss the execution of Gondović.
More and more malicious.
Either the jealousy of the selfish, the doubt of the coward, or the attack by the remnants of the Nordic Order.
The argument is based on the true identity of Gondović Nord.
He bit Cole hard and asked him to come forward and give the public a reasonable explanation.
Otherwise, you are deceiving the public.
A despicable fanatic for fame by fair means or foul.
But just like Cole's speech, justice never dies.
The despicable wind of public opinion failed to last a day.
An exclusive column from the critic Times, denounced the empire and the hunting group for abandoning the golden port and the citizens of the entire city, avoiding and not fighting, resulting in hundreds of thousands of civilian casualties. Loss of all property.
The article is based on Cole Walker, who died in the Golden Port alone to the last moment, and was called the "Golden Port Butcher" by the author of the article, Levi Timo, the survivor of the fall of the Golden Port. demon-hunter as a comparison.
The words are not merciful, almost in front of the citizens of the empire, cursing that the demon hunting squad and the cabinet government are just a bunch of wastes eating idle meals.
Unlikely.
On the afternoon of the publication of this column, the Great Empire Daily, an exclusive news and interview from the famous journalist Amelia Green.
Pushing public opinion to its climax.
Even, with a strong posture of a final word, it overwhelmed all the voices of doubters.
The article has no title.
On the first page of the front page, there is only one black and white photo that occupies the entire layout and is extremely symmetrical enough to be shortlisted for the best media photography of 1835.
Victoria Avenue is cold and humid, with dark sky in the background and overcast clouds.
The building is damaged and ruins are everywhere.
Looking into the distance of the street at a glance, the uncountable number of corpses are stacked on top of each other. The scene is shocking and thrilling.
In the middle of the photo lens, at the end of the sea of blood on the mountain.
A man, alone, sitting on a pile of ruins.
His black coat was completely soaked in the freezing rain and blood of winter.
The sticky hair sticks to the forehead.
Head down.
One hand holds a cigarette.
There are corpses piled under the feet.
A long knife was inserted into the chest of a male corpse and hung on the broken wall beside him. The face of the deceased was terrified.
This kind of moment.
The specific content of the exclusive interview is no longer important.
Similar to the critic Times, the title of the man "Golden Port Butcher", everyone who saw this photo could not imagine the darkest moment when the empire completely abandoned the Golden Port.
What happened to the demon-hunter in the photo?
And what happened to Levi Timo who witnessed that scene with his own eyes.
Inspiring?
Or...brave fearless?
No.
All they can feel is the loneliness and unimaginable fatigue of one person fighting against the dark.
As if you have justice in your heart, walking discord in the dark, yearning for all ordinary people in rays of light.
Perhaps over-interpretation.
Perhaps it is people's awe of heroes.
It's just Cole's original act of lowering his head, frowning, and preparing to smoke.
The people who supported him, interpreted as: within their power, in order to rescue the fallen Golden Harbor, facing the proud head of Cole Walker who has never been in the dark.
Why did he lower his head just before victory came?
That is the memory and grief for the dead compatriots! The incompetent numbness and heart to the Demon Hunting Group are ashamed!
He can die for mortals.
But never bow to the bureaucrats of aloof and remote!
So far.
The three-day debate gradually came to an end with the secret intervention of the government.
It is also through this time that the public opinion battle against the Cole and Mengxi empires can be called a miasma.
Another long-running tug of war, just in front of the world, revealing the tip of the iceberg.
The evil Sect Leader whose appearance is not good, his dead body is on the spot, and his personal strength is still unknown to the outside world. He has the thought and evil legacy of this World.
Under the use of his followers and evil intentions.
All kinds of religious organizations have sprung up all over the world.
What's more.
Propagated that in the Nordic Order, they were not taken seriously and excluded by the opposition, trying to cleanse themselves, from a tricky angle, to embark on the stage of human history grandiosely.
The wizard, who has not been arrested, conceals his identity and hides in cities and villages.
Even if the demon hunting groups of various countries are united by government organizations, they have deployed additional personnel to impose curfews in a high-handed manner and conduct raids.
But the wizard is hidden in the crowd.
Just like the mice in the sewers of Mengxi Imperial Capital, they are cleaned up every year, but they will never be cleaned up.
After the death of the Nordic Order, the filth that was dismantled, like a piece of ugly brown candy, stuck to the body of the human world.
In a sense.
Gandovich Nord...or his real name, Aleister Crowley, formerly the director of the Institute of Mystery Studies and the Department of Ancient Prophecy Research.
The author of the cult book "Book of Law".
The things left to this World are far more destructive than him.
Except for followers.
The Nordic Research Institute, excavated by various demon hunting groups, has imprisoned a large number of artificial dark creatures.
horrible to see.
Among them, the dark creature that is the most harmful, difficult to effectively control, and continues to spread, is the degraded blood-sucking species that Cole previously saw when he was in Golden Harbor and relied on infecting humans to reproduce themselves.
Cannot be killed by conventional physical means.
Insensitive to silver.
The only thing that can effectively kill them is sunlight and specific sequence secrets.
"...The board of directors decided to temporarily name this post-wizard-era case as the Blood Tide Incident for special handling."
Black Snake Battallion's office.
Cole put his feet on the table, took a cigarette in his hand, and took a deep breath, frowned, "So, this thing was thrown to us?"
Old Barber Miss Shane’s secretary, pushing the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, said seriously, “It has been decided that the establishment of the Special Investigation Section will never be cancelled, and a regular meeting will be held recently to decide whether to change the name of the Special Investigation Section And the administrative level, changed to the special event handling department.
Barber Section Chief told me, Cole, you may be the most favorable competitor for the first minister."
In the magic group, different administrative levels have different treatments and different levels of power.
The front-line demon-hunter at the grass-roots level, the action Captain of each battlelion, the Section Chief and the Sect master in charge of different specific matters, the leaders of the major groups and department heads, the directors of the committees that deal with specific matters, Permanent director of the Demon Hunting Group.
Step by step.
Furthermore, the bureaucracies directly under the Central Government and in charge, even if the administrative levels are the same, have completely different powers and resources.
Special event handling department.
According to Shane's statement, it is likely to be on par with the Witch Emergency Department.
In other words.
As the head boss of such a department, one foot has already crossed the threshold of a bureaucrat.
