Chapter 128 The Round Table of the Adjudication Division
Chapter 128 The Round Table of the Adjudication Department
The people went from disbelief at first to hesitancy later, and then after the horrific incidents caused by the West Sea Pirate Thiago Murphy in Tokyo, the image of Captain Dragonfly plummeted in the hearts of the people of Wano.
Although it's not that much better than everyone shouting about beating him, at the very least he is still a plague god.
Today, ordinary people have no idea that "Captain Dragonfly" has been replaced midway.
The people only saw him interrupting the emperor's speech without fear of the powerful, exposing the sins of those politicians and congressmen in high positions in public, and turning into a sword of justice to cut through the mess quickly.
As a result, Captain Dragonfly, whose image and status had plummeted in the hearts of the people, skyrocketed in the blink of an eye, becoming the embodiment of justice in the hearts of many people and an idol worshiped by passionate young people.
This all seems ridiculous.
It's a bit sad when you think about it carefully.
In this era of information explosion, ordinary people lack real information reference, so they always subconsciously stand on the side that seems to be reasonable when it comes to judging right and wrong. Whether it is reasonable or not depends on who makes the louder voice.
This is not a matter of adapting to the situation, it is just a natural choice for social animals when they are confused.
Today, Higashinohara undoubtedly made a "bigger voice" on the Emperor's birthday.
So today, whether it was the young students congratulating the Emperor on the Imperial Palace Square or the ordinary people watching the birthday live broadcast in front of TV sets across the country, they subconsciously chose to side with Higashinohara, feeling that he was against these corrupt politicians and congressmen of Wano Country.
The killing is very satisfying.
But if a louder voice emerges, it is hard to say whether the people will continue to insist on the justice they originally believed in.
This corresponds to that sentence,
The love of insects is always cheap,
It goes as quickly as it comes.
Therefore, after Higashinohara experienced a reversal, he heard these comments in his ears and the admiration and praise of passionate young people for him. He might have been somewhat satisfied in his heart before, but now he has no fluctuations.
Having said that, since he accidentally obtained the "Guilty Manual", he never believed that what he truly represented was justice, and he only played the role of "scavenger" after completing the mission.
Well, Foreign Minister Taku Amuro is different.
Higashinohara's reason for killing him was somewhat similar to that of Fuuma Ryusei. Once he learned about the other person's role in the attack on the patrol boat in the North Sea, he remembered Tokugawa Ritora who gave him the famous sword and Nishimaru Miri who called him big brother every day.
.
If Higashinohara didn't kill him for a day, his mood would be inexplicably depressed, and his whole person would be filled with a gloomy air.
Now,
He just felt refreshed and refreshed.
To put it more simply,
Just go with your heart.
At this moment, Higashinohara just wanted to go home quickly and tell Nishimaru Miria the news, and share this hard-won "joy", regardless of whether she saw it on TV or not.
However, when getting on the bus, Higashinohara noticed that the president of the Trinity Association, "Miss Kaguya", whom he had met several times, seemed to be staring at the empty luggage cabinet around him and above his head.
Full of confusion and confusion.
Higashinohara was quick-thinking and naturally realized that Miss Kaguya seemed to have shown an extraordinary "interest" in him after saving her at the Trinity Hall at the Takehara Minami Ice and Snow Festival.
That kind of interest is no longer just the kind of interest that wanted to invite him to join the Trinity Association, but an interest in carefully testing and groping-the other party's joining in the study trip to Hokkaido years ago may have something to do with this.
.
It's just that Higashinohara sees things through but doesn't tell them. As long as the other party doesn't go too far, he won't make any overreaction.
At this time, he noticed Kaguya's doubts in the Phoenix Academy, and Higashinohara made a slight guess in his mind - if the other party really suspected him, then he might be looking for his Phoenix Double Blade.
After all, such a big thing is not easy to carry around.
However, when Higashinohara came today, he got on the bus in advance and put it in the luggage compartment above the bus seat.
But now that he has mastered Hidden Sword Summoning and directly absorbed it into the alien space, it is no wonder that Phoenix Academy Kaguya is confused.
Well, maybe this can dispel her suspicion to a certain extent.
Higashinohara didn't pay much attention to this.
He is just an ordinary high school student, with strength at level 4 and 4 at most, and a clean family background.
You say I am Captain Dragonfly, who would believe it?
By the time Higashinohara returned to Aragaki Apartment by car, the huge commotion that had occurred in front of the Imperial Palace had already spread overwhelmingly.
Regarding the attack on the Wano Minister of Foreign Affairs and those members of the parliament, major domestic TV stations began to broadcast a second news report.
The most shocking one was of course the eleventh ruling from the World Government's Judgment Division, which resulted in the death of Marcus Rhine. This was like a depth bomb, causing extremely violent subsequent effects.
People quickly went from "Who dares to kill him?"
It became "Who can kill him?"
That is the adjudicator of the Adjudication Department!
Even though they are ranked low, there are only twelve adjudicators in each term!
Wanohara's guess in advance was correct. Under pressure from the World Government, all media outlets in Wano unified their tone in the second broadcast to guide public opinion, defining today's trial as a terrorist attack.
The news also mentioned that when Crown Prince Nifumi attended the birthday of Emperor Demei in the morning, the so-called Captain Dragonfly stripped him naked, tied him to a standing urinal, and illegally detained him for a whole morning. He also used unknown abilities to impersonate the Crown Prince's identity.
Such a terrorist attack took place.
Furthermore, Fuma Rikuo’s wonderful trial reading was also officially defined as a sinister slander.
When Tsuesaburo Yamaguchi, chairman of the National Security Council, was interviewed by reporters, he expressed with a heavy face his sadness at the loss of like-minded friends and partners, Foreign Minister Taku Amuro and others.
Furthermore, he angrily criticized Captain Dragonfly as a fanatic in front of the camera regarding the kidnapping of Crown Prince In-mun, saying righteously that "the result obtained by means that violates the law will always be a disgraceful result" and "sincerely advises
The mysterious man under the dark golden mask surrenders as soon as possible, otherwise he will be spurned by the people and severely sanctioned by the Celestial World Government and the law enforcement agencies of Wano."
But this time, the people were not so easy to sway over immediately.
They may not have memories, but the Internet has records - the report letter on the North Sea incident published by the Asahi Shimbun a while ago was just passed away. Although there was a scapegoat to help Taku Amuro take the blame, that does not mean that Taku Amuro was convicted.
You can completely clean yourself up.
For a time, the public opinion guidance of Wano's major TV media encountered unprecedented resistance from the Internet public, who shouted that they needed the truth instead of perfunctory explanations.
In just a few hours, a self-portrait video of netizens wearing dark gold dragonfly masks to imitate the politicians and congressmen who were delivering sentences at the Imperial Palace in the morning appeared on the Internet. The number of clicks on the video soared like a rocket.
And just when all walks of life in Wano country had mixed reactions and public opinion was turbulent and chaotic.
Thousands of miles apart in the Kyoto metropolitan area.
Tianren Special Zone.
In the administrative area of the World Government, a square obsidian building that looks like a black coffin reflects in the sun a faint light that seems to be able to absorb everything that makes people feel palpitated.
This is the Beijing office building of the Tianren Judgment Department.
There are two flowerbeds on the lawn in front of the office building. The flowers are blooming in early spring due to the geographical conditions of Beijing's low latitude. Unknown white seabirds near Hong Kong are circling overhead. It is just a beautiful picture of the grass growing in front of me, and
The black and square building of the Adjudication Division like a coffin box in the back looks a bit out of place.
At this moment, in the conference room of the Adjudication Division.
It is very rare that all eleven of the twelve adjudicators gathered around the conference table.
The curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room were tightly drawn, the light was dim, and amidst the silence, a high-definition video recording from an hour ago was being played back on the LCD screen not far away.
After a while, the video on the LCD light screen was turned off, and the sunshade in front of the floor-to-ceiling window opened automatically. A ray of bright light slowly fell in, illuminating the round table in the middle of the conference room.
Twelve seats were placed around the circular conference table. In the past, all seats would be occupied during emergencies, but today one seat was vacant, making the atmosphere in the conference room inexplicably strange.
