Chapter 85: Follow-up

In fact, no matter how hard the authorities try to remedy the situation, or how the president delivers passionate speeches, they cannot dispel the growing concerns in people's hearts.

Why do demons "favor" us?
Could it be that we have really committed some sin?

This preference even makes some people feel as if they are constantly being stared at by the abyss. It is a suffocating and despairing feeling as if they are watching the end of the world approaching.

Many people are experiencing mental health issues, and it is foreseeable that there will be a surge in related papers.

In addition, various deceptive doomsday churches began to appear, under the banner of salvation or the devil, causing people's minds to be unprecedentedly confused.

Forced by this situation, the top officials decided to forcibly push forward the "deification" plan ahead of schedule in order to rally the increasingly depressed people's hearts.

Now they have two cards in their hand.

One is Jamie Walton, who is currently cooperating well with the authorities and was born into a large family.

One is from the lower class, his background is not yet clear and it will take more time to recover. The character introduction cannot even fill up a card, but from his behavior we can infer that Carlos has a strong sense of justice.

There is almost no need for a choice. Everyone will tacitly let Jamie take on this important task, and they don't even need his consent, because they believe that the Walton family will not be ignorant of the overall situation. Moreover, this is a move that is beneficial to the Walton family and there is no reason to object.

It’s not that the chaebols are kind-hearted, but an overly chaotic situation will lead to an economic downturn, and in more serious cases, there may even be panic selling, which would be fatal to them.

The only problem now is that too many people saw Jamie killing innocent people indiscriminately during the battle in downtown Mai.

Even though there was sufficient evidence to show that he was controlled by the devil at the time, and that he eventually broke free from the control and dealt the devil a fatal blow.

It's just that reality is different from the movies.

In movies, people may be moved by the inner struggle of the hero and selectively ignore the ordinary people who are hurt by it.

But in reality, they are just ordinary people, and we have to worry that if a hero is manipulated by the devil once, will there be a second time?

Struggling internally? Killing us while struggling?
No one could accept that they did not die at the hands of the devil, but instead died at the hands of the people who protected them.

However, the number of people injured at the scene was only a very small number compared to the rest of the country.

A large amount of compensation will be in place soon, and this is the most convenient and quickest solution.

Subsequently, the government and the chaebols worked together to shape Jamie into a tragic hero.

They will not deliberately avoid the harm he caused to ordinary people, but will also deliberately exaggerate his previous selfless protection of people.

The photo of the girl wearing a wreath was circulated repeatedly, but most people didn't know that the girl's parents died at Jamie's hands.

Coupled with a video of Captain Jamie in the ICU ward where his life is still in danger, as well as the biased description of the time by the parties involved, it highlights Jamie's difficulties and helplessness, as well as the tense and tragic battle situation.

Under these successive attacks, most people in America, who always believe in a prodigal son's return, have come to understand Jamie.

They believed that since he was able to break free from the devil's manipulation by his own will, he must be a loyal child of God, or perhaps he was blessed by the Lord, so he was able to resist the devil's erosion.

After the storm, he is still Captain Jamie of America.

Even his image has become fuller in people's minds.

Although, Jamie, who is still struggling in his consciousness, is not aware of this. (You can read the extra chapter 84.5 in the related works.)
The devil's blood is not that easy to use.

The price is to fall into what is commonly known as the "demon in the heart". If you cannot break free, you will stay in it for the rest of your life.

Bai Shihang was waiting for dark.

By the way, let’s take a closer look at the two abilities of the new mutation.

No, before the Queen entered Mai City, it was not even a chess piece. But after entering Mai City, it grew at an astonishing speed. Even if it died in the end, it indirectly brought two new abilities to Bai Shihang.

And both abilities have their highlights.

The ability of [Bloodborne] is easy to understand. It can be regarded as an expansion pack of [Blood Burning Technique]. It also requires a certain price to be paid. He feels that this ability has a subtle mutation route. As long as the symbiont is suitable, accumulates and explodes the required emotions or meets certain conditions, it can continue to extend forward.

It has the same effect as [Burning] and [Firework Knight].

He was looking forward to continuing along this mutation route and seeing what kind of surprise would be waiting for him at the end.

Although the other [Saint] is only a two-word ability, its highlights are no worse than the previous one.

Whenever the mutated abilities are fed back to Bai Shihang, he will have the highest authority and will instinctively know the main uses of the abilities as well as the auxiliary uses that can be used. Some abilities can even be exempted from preconditions or have their costs offset.

However, in his instinctive description of the ability "Saint", there was a word that was always vague, like a veil that blocked his in-depth investigation.

【Death is not your end. In ￥%￥#, you can be reborn. 】

He could only vaguely sense that this ability was related to another ability that had not yet mutated, so it was in an unknown state.

But this kind of mutation does not mean that it is fixed to a certain ability, but it should be a category.

A type of ability that can produce a wonderful reaction to the word "saint".

Just like the "mutation route" mentioned earlier.

All Bai Shihang could think of at once was heaven, the kingdom of God, some kind of halo, and some kind of divine power.

Get a new life.
In a sense, is this his first ability to peek into the power of life and death?

Even if it is only a semi-finished product at the moment.

"If we can't live forever in this universe, what's the point of just passing on our genes from generation to generation?"

In his previous life, Bai Shihang did not have any experiences of deep suffering and hatred.

But anyone who has come into contact with him will come to the conclusion that "this guy is weird."

But if I were to explain it in detail, I couldn't tell what was strange about it.

Bai Shihang knew very well that he had lived like a walking corpse in his previous life, and he felt that he would eventually turn into fire in the furnace and ashes in the jar. Even the planets would become lifeless, and the stars would eventually go extinct.

In my short life, I can neither see the magnificence of the Pillars of Creation nor witness the world in a million years.

They can only stay in man-made cages and create what people call social value.

Fortunately, he saw the light in this world.

It allows him to release the freedom in his heart and find a way to reach the top.

After clearing his mind for a while, Bai Shihang looked at the gradually darkening sky and his thoughts slowly returned to normal.

It's time to get to work.

　The transition between these two chapters feels a bit watery, so there is an extra chapter related to the work, which counts as three chapters, yay.

　　The next plot is the previously mentioned supernatural animals that are scattered everywhere, but I originally wrote it a bit too much, like the destruction of a town that is common in American movies and TV shows. Now I know that I absolutely cannot write it like this, but I have no idea how to change it. Also, it should be on the shelves next week or the week after, so I have to rush to save the manuscript.

　　Friends who want to read the extra chapters don’t just look at the table of contents, please click to the end and read the sequel, please.
