When Zhang Changfeng and others showed up to speak out, the public, who had been led by Zhang Changlin's accusation video, fell directly into confusion.
Even more than one-third of netizens have begun to switch sides, turning from angrily denouncing the atrocities committed by City Hall to besieging Zhang Changlin with ulterior motives.
But there are also quite a few people, those who have witnessed the shameless behavior of the City Hall, or people who do not believe in the City Hall from the bottom of their hearts. They do not believe in Zhang Changlin, but prefer to believe that the City Hall will not do anything good.
The two sides formed two factions and started a fierce war of words online.
[Dark Shadows]: "Zhang Changfeng came out to clarify, but a bunch of people are still there and won't let you go. Are they all blind?"
[Rabbit eats grass from the edge of the nest]: "He said he is Zhang Changfeng, so you believe he is Zhang Changfeng. A good brain is a good thing, but it's a pity that you don't have it. Isn't it easy for the city hall to find someone to put on makeup and pretend to be a person with today's technology? "
[Legacy of the Wei and Jin Dynasties]: "The fact is in front of you that there are still people washing there. Get rid of it. Zhang Changlin said that the people who were killed were not dead at all! The city hall can pretend to be one person, pretend to be two people, and it can find thousands of people. Are you here to fake it?"
[The color of loyalty is green]: "Have you ever thought about a question? If Zhang Changlin is lying, what is his purpose? What is his starting point? A person's behavior can definitely find logical support, otherwise I would rather believe what he said is true!”
[Netizen 9527]: "It's all about money, haven't you seen the transfer record from Future Vision to Zhang Changlin? As long as the money is in place, just like those gangsters, let them say shit can prolong life, and they will dare to eat it for you on the spot. It makes money, it’s not shabby.”
[waaagh]: "Stupid Xiami netizen, you have to spend your life to make money. Isn't he clearly looking for death when he creates this kind of remoteness? Making so much money is useless, be happy! Happiness is the most important thing, you know? Don't you think the leadership Isn’t it amazing that a group of people rebelled against the city hall and then started one person’s revenge after being suppressed?”
This kind of self-controversy became more and more intense on the Internet until a short video called "The Last Barrier" suddenly appeared on social platforms and became a hot search.
There is no host in this video. It opens with a scene from a primary school classroom. The camera shows the book on the desk, and the name of the book is revealed in front of you - "Ideology and Morality".
Then, a deep male voice sounded: "When I was a child, I always thought that in this world, good and bad, good and evil, are just like the two colors black and white. It is a very simple matter to distinguish."
Then the scene changed, and the boy grew up, became an ordinary young man, and entered college. One day, he ate a tail in the cafeteria and exposed it online. The school then threatened him with his degree certificate and asked him to help the school "clarify the facts."
The boy had no choice but to post another video to apologize to netizens, and changed his story to say that his tail was actually 'beef tendon'.
Immediately afterwards, the deep male voice sounded again: "On March 8, 2131, in the Honghai Middle School cafeteria, a student ate a slender tail. Within half a day after the incident was exposed, the student personally clarified that the tail was actually 'beef tendon' '."
The scene changes again, and the boy has graduated. In order to find a job, he squeezes into the bus and subway every day, and goes to interview meetings with various companies.
Until one day, when he got out of the car, he met an old man who had fallen to the ground. The kind-hearted boy sent the old man to the hospital, but when the old man woke up, he insisted that he had hit someone first.
"On April 27, 2130, Peng Huan took a bus and met Zhang, an elderly man who fell down in Xishuimen Square, and sent him to the hospital. Zhang falsely accused Peng Huan of hitting someone. The XC District Court of No. 18 City finally The verdict is pronounced, Peng Huan compensates Zhang 120,000 yuan."
After going around and around, the young man came to the threshold of thirty.
With average looks, average income, and average conversational skills, he got married at the urging of his parents to a woman he didn't know whether he loved or not.
After getting married, the two of them took out a loan to buy a house off-plan. Although one month's salary, excluding daily expenses, only just filled the hole in the mortgage, the thought of having a home of his own made the young man feel full of motivation when he worked.
However, when the delivery date arrived, they were told that the developer had disappeared.
Seeing that the monthly mortgage of several thousand yuan was being withdrawn as scheduled, his house was overgrown with weeds. The young man and his wife decided not to continue filling the endless hole.
However, just three months after they stopped repaying the loan, the young man who had not yet gotten off work received a notice that his wife was critically ill——
"On January 18, 2131, Ms. Cui was beaten and seriously injured by a bank employee because her house was in ruins and she failed to repay the loan on time. After investigation, it was determined that Ms. Cui committed suicide."
"July 11, 2132..."
One by one, things that should have been forgotten by everyone with the passage of time are brought up again. The sadness and anger deep in the hearts of everyone who has watched this video are rekindled little by little.
At the end of the video, we came to a dark room. Huang Hui was wearing black business attire and sitting under a weak spotlight, surrounded by darkness.
Only his voice echoed restrained and calmly: "We sincerely hope that with the improvement of the system, there will be fewer and fewer unfair trials like this, but it is equally sad..."
He stared at everyone in front of the video with calm eyes: "None of us can pat our chests and say that we will never encounter the same problems as them."
"We are all ordinary people. We don't have that much professional knowledge, don't understand the appeal process, and don't have that much time and energy to deal with those who harm our interests. Even if we are willing to devote time and energy, we are faced with When faced with wealthy and powerful perpetrators and the top lawyers they hire with huge sums of money, there is still a high probability that we will fall on the scale of justice.”
"At this time, the Internet has become the last channel for those of us at the bottom to pursue justice! Because in this world, there are tens of millions of compatriots like us, who have a simple view of good and evil, and are willing to support everyone who has suffered injustice. people reached out for help.”
"But now... Zhang Changlin has made a very bad start!"
"He took advantage of everyone's simplicity and kindness, and through fabricated tragic stories, he tried to use everyone as a weapon in his hands to attack the City Hall!"
"We must admit that the credibility of the city hall has been bankrupt in our hearts, but that is why we should pay more attention to the authenticity of online channels!"
"Once the number of people like Zhang Changlin increases, will people with real grievances still gain everyone's trust when they come forward?"
Huang Hui stepped out of the spotlight, and shadows enveloped the entire room from behind him.
His voice was low and angry, like a cry: "Online exposure has become the last way for us to pursue fairness and justice, and it is the last barrier for ordinary people!"
"Zhang Changlin is digging up everyone's roots and cutting off everyone's paths!"
"I will never allow it!"
Meanwhile, in Times Square.
Zhang Changlin, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, raised his head with feeling and looked at the sky in the distance.
The colorful stream of light in the sky disappeared rapidly, and was replaced by a filthy black torrent that could not be described in words, rushing from the sky where the stream of light disappeared.
He seemed to be chanting something as he stood up.
The last bit of compassion showed in his eyes, which were slowly infected by black.
