Chapter Eight Hundred and Twenty Two - Mr. De who is absolutely submissive to the majority
"The one just now was also designed by Konori?" she asked Hoshino.
"Probably, after all, these things are all output to us by him, but we didn't make any modifications."
"What kind of scene does this guy want to depict..." Haibara Ai frowned even more. "Can you call out the subsequent plot now? I want to see his structure of the whole world... No, forget it, let's follow his and Arimi's main perspective. I'm afraid there is something too strange behind it."
Hoshino Kai's mouth twitched for a moment, but said nothing, just silent, looking at the screen with Ai Haibara who also did not continue to speak.
...
When Qianyu led Ayumi to finally follow the clergy, the clergy was holding a very weak child.
"Child, are you okay?" The clergy looked at the thirteen or fourteen years old with concern. "Where did you come from?"
"Outside, the army is arresting us, they are going to kill us!" The child gasped and said in a panting. "My parents were captured by them. They asked me to come to you, hoping that you can save me - you are servants of God and will not allow His people to be killed, right? I also believe in Catholicism, and I am even baptized by the old priests here. Please, can you save me?"
"..." The clergyman's expression stiffened for a moment, and then he looked at the passage where the child came here - it was an open door at the end of the corridor. "Are you... Tutsi?"
"Yes, that's why we were killed. Please save me!" The child even knelt down in front of the priest and begged. "If you don't take me in, we will be killed!"
"No, we can't do that," sighed, and the clergy shook his head. "You have to know, you are a democracy, do you know what this means?"
"The people decide on state affairs?" The child gave his own answer.
"To be precise, the majority of citizens are the masters," the clergy taught this, stroking the child's hair. "You also know that you Tutsi are the minority and Hutu are the majority, so this means that you should obey the opinions of the Hutu people and obey their leadership. Do you understand? If the Hutu people want to do something to you, you should abide by it. This is the spiritual core of democracy."
"Does democracy really mean this?" Beside them, Ao Mei asked Qian Yu in a low voice. "Why do I think this sounds a little..."
"It is technically so, because pure democracy itself is a tyranny created by the majority - so there are other values at the same level that protect the rights of the minority." Qian Yu shrugged. "But... the church finally decided to lie to the words and chose to stand by."
At this moment, Arimi also turned her gaze to the direction of the door - she heard a new voice.
But this voice...she doesn't know what it is.
"Here," Qian Yu glanced at the door and caught the scene of two fully armed soldiers rushing in. "Presidential Guard."
"Father, we are the guards who escorted them. Can we hand this child over to us?" With such a rather arrogant tone, the soldier pointed at the child who rushed into the arms of the clergy. "He is a Tutsi, so we need to take him to a safe place."
"Of course," the priest ignored the child's fear, but agreed very simply. "Child, go."
"No, father, please don't do this!" The child tried to grab the clergy, but was forcibly caught by the strong and physical opponent, and then carried to the soldiers.
"Don't worry, they are all good people and will protect you to go to safe places." The clergy softly comforted him.
"Are they really good people?" Ayumi said in confusion.
"Of course not, we will know if we follow." Qian Yu shrugged.
"Then why would the priest say..."
"Because the priest knew what they were going to do, of course he had to coax the child." Qian Yu said this and had already walked forward, preparing to follow the two soldiers who had already grabbed the child and were about to leave. "Hurry up, keep up."
But just as Arimi was about to follow, the clergy turned his head and looked in Arimi's direction.
After a moment of silence, Ao Mei realized that he was looking at the elderly clergyman who appeared behind him.
"Okay, come on," Qianyu turned back and urged Arimi to follow him. "Don't worry, you'll hear it."
As he said this, Qianyu gently grabbed Ai Mei's cuff and pulled her to follow her. "Hurry up, the time flow rate here is normal. If you waste too much time here, you will be scolded after you go home in the evening."
And behind them, the conversation between the two clergy still seemed so clear - even if they had followed two soldiers who took the child away, the child and the two soldiers could theoretically hear it.
"Can't they hear it?" Ayumi looked at the two people behind her with uneasy, and then looked at the two soldiers holding guns in front of her.
"The languages are different," Qian Yu replied immediately. "These people in front are Rwandan native, and the ones in Latin behind... Don't underestimate this church, this is the largest in Rwanda. These people are also the most successful people."
As he said this, the conversation between the two clergymen behind him was still ringing in their ears.
"Dean, is it really okay?" The clergyman's face was not very good, and he was even a little sad. "They took the child away...that kind of thing must have happened, right?"
"The affairs of the Lord belong to the Lord, and Caesar's work will be left to Caesar..." the elderly clergy shook their heads. "What can you do, let all of us come in and accompany them?"
"But this... has it been the first time? In my impression... it's three or four times?"
"Don't worry, there will be many more times." The elderly clergy sighed. "You are not sure how many Tutsi people in China are... In short, think clearly, as long as you soften your heart once, we will be done. So, don't disobey them."
"But will all this happen to us eventually?"
"It's not just you Hutu tribe. If we are to hold us accountable at that time, we will be punished for obeying them and allowing our fellow tribes to be killed. But..."
