Under everyone's gaze, the ground beneath Marcus cracked open like the mouthparts of an evil beast, and pieces of gravel burst out and flew out.
Large orange small beads flew out together with the flying rocks, entangled with golden-orange flame ribbons and rolled randomly in the air, like a red lotus blooming in the air, swallowing Marcus directly.
Before the deafening explosion subsided, and while the ground was still shaking slightly, the terrifying high temperature rolled up air waves and exploded with Marcus as the center.
The people in the circle closest to Marcus were burned and turned black in just one breath, and fell to the ground without breathing. The skin of the people nearby became dry and scorched at a speed visible to the naked eye. They tried to escape but were stopped by the outside circle.
The stunned crowd unconsciously blocked it and let out painful wails.
At this point, the temperature of the surrounding air began to gradually drop, but the surrounding houses had been set on fire. The crowd in the outer circle seemed to finally realize what had happened, and the confidence they had just gathered in Marcus completely dissipated in just one breath.
After the fragile hope was shattered in front of their eyes, these people were even more desperate than before. Even after the flames faded, Marcus's unharmed figure reappeared in the sky, and the people on Broken Throat Avenue were no longer what they were before.
Have high hopes for him.
No, maybe not unscathed.
Ever since the orange liquid flames engulfed him and burned the surrounding people alive, at least Marcus's credibility has been severely damaged.
People crave the leadership of strong people because strong people have the ability to let them live better. But even if the explosion happened right next to Marcus, he was unable to stop it. He could only watch other people being killed - as for Marcus
No one would care that Kus's magic power and attention were distracted by the ritual at the moment. These people only knew that Marcus could not protect them, and they deeply felt the fear of death.
In fact, the explosion controlled by Roland was not intended to attack Marcus, but to kill the group of people closest to him.
People gathered around Marcus because of their enthusiasm and trust in him. The explosion occurred under Marcus, and the people closest to him died the worst - when other people subconsciously connected these three things together.
Sometimes, you will unconsciously start to reject Marcus.
In this way, Roland can take these panicked and powerless people away from Marcus without causing any harm to Marcus. Now that this goal has been achieved, it makes no difference whether Marcus is really injured or not.
Roland's move was like cutting off the last suspension bridge connected to the isolated island. If you want people to have the consciousness to risk everything and jump off the cliff, you must first make them realize that the easier and cheaper solutions are no longer available.
Effective, and at the same time, their lives are already hanging on a thread. If they don't make changes, it means paying the price with their lives.
Only then will they look for new solutions. Even if failure requires their lives, it is better than dying right away.
"So, everyone is a delinquent life..."
Under the shadow of the hood, a cheerful smile bloomed, but Roland didn't show anything on his appearance. He just hunched his body like an ordinary passerby and ran away along with the screaming and crying crowd.
In Roland's view, although Mentor Changmian's strategy is extreme, its implementation is very scientific.
If Roland comes up and offers them salvation, trying to save them from the fire and water, these people will not appreciate it. Even if they reluctantly accept it, they will not feel that their lives are getting better. They will only realize the inconveniences and put all the
The factors that made their lives unsatisfactory were all attributed to the changes Roland led them to make, and they had complaints against Roland - it was not Roland who was being alarmist, this kind of thing happened almost every day.
Therefore, Roland strongly agrees with Mentor Changmian's statement, that is, "If you want redemption, you must pay the price first."
Obtaining it too easily will make people no longer cherish it. Only by letting them understand the price of redemption and making them realize how many people have paid their blood and lives in order to obtain redemption can they
You will start to think about the value of this kind of redemption because you are "the one who survives", and then you will realize what you have gained.
Roland believes that people who are betrayed by the people they save are all good old people without brains.
He didn't mean to kill all those ungrateful people - that was really stupid, and it was completely contrary to his original wish. Killing people to save others would only lead to an endless cycle of hopelessness.
.
After all, when angels also start killing people, how can we ask humans not to believe in demons?
What a way...
"Of course there is," Roland murmured, "Fear, just be afraid."
Fear is the original power of human beings and the original carrier of the law of "evolution".
Because of the fear of being killed by something, humans have the power to keep themselves alive; because of the fear of being killed by diseases, humans have medicines that can cure diseases.
And when people begin to fear those forces of inevitability, and begin to hesitate between will and ability, desire and acquisition, purpose and result, imagination and reality, thinking and being, when people realize that
When some things in people's lives are unbearable, in order to prevent themselves from being crushed by despair, people choose to entrust the burden of their souls to God and sell their souls to God.
Then, recreate what they lost, take them back what was taken away, and save them from a desperate situation covered with red lotus like hell - this kind of kindness is probably enough for them to pay their souls to save them.
Roland worshiped him as a god, right?
The smile on Roland's face faded, and he squinted at the corner of the street ahead. The eyes hidden in the shadow of the hood were as dark as abyss, without any light.
According to the previously set time, the place ahead will be detonated soon.
The only remaining safe area is within ten steps from where Roland is standing.
If there is only one bomb, a circular area with a radius of about fifteen meters will be directly destroyed.
Because Roland detonated several consecutive bombs this time, after the continuous explosions, the sewers along this road will be completely destroyed.
After the soil layer is destroyed by the impact force, under the action of gravity, the buildings above the ground will collapse layer by layer, just like a knife cutting the Broken Throat Avenue, Rib Blade Street, Golden Lion Avenue and Baiye Avenue into two sections.
, the collapsed area can even be close to the length of a street.
"Wait! Everyone, back off! There is a bomb on the wall in front!"
Suddenly, an excited and clear voice came from under the black robe.
Just listening to this voice, the image of a mature and steady yet passionate young man suddenly emerged in everyone's mind.
Almost subconsciously, the people closest to the boy and the people in front stopped. Among the people who were constantly, aimlessly, and unswervingly advancing, just because the people here suddenly stopped.
There was considerable chaos and even a stampede.
Before the people who were confused and dissatisfied by the sudden stop noticed Roland's figure, the scorching red lotus suddenly emerged from the ground and bloomed among the crowd.
At that moment, in the extremely pure roar - a roar that could even burst the eardrums, the curses, wails, screams, and whimpering disappeared in an instant and turned into silence.
It was even different from what Marcus had seen before. The first batch of people who died were not scorched black by the heat, but were directly killed by orange beads rolling around in the air like a solid - the kind that resembled a large amount of sodium.
The strange flames like orange-red beads produced when thrown into the water were directly engulfed.
Another blink of an eye passed, and dozens of people curled up and fell down, their bodies charred and black.
After another breath, dozens of people fell down, scorched and fragrant, wailing.
But those survivors who were unscathed, but whose hair was a little burnt and sticky, immediately turned their grateful eyes to Roland. Because Roland, who "spotted the bomb with sharp eyes", shouted, at least a dozen of them
People are saved because of this.
In fact, to be honest, not many people were saved by Roland, just the two rows of people who were on the edge of the explosion danger line. It only lasted for a second, and even if they were walking quickly, they would not move too far.
But seeing that a few steps ahead of them were the charred corpses and the inhuman cooked meats wailing on the ground, these people who were just one or two steps away from meeting the same fate as them couldn't help but feel even more grateful to Roland.
Although Roland will probably be pushed to the forefront in the future, as long as the operation is done well, it is probably not difficult to get these people who are already on the verge of collapse from the continuous torture to donate their souls.
"If you want redemption, you have to pay the price first."
At that moment, Roland seemed to overlap with the figure of someone behind him, and said these words in unison. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
