The former companions in the stronghold were furious. Kallen wanted to explain Lelouch's difference, but even the current leader Shan Kaname said so. She could only helplessly retreat and explain to Lelouch in a low voice. The situation stopped Lelouch who was about to summon the Black Abyss Demon.
"Then we can only leave here first."
Kallen originally thought that Lelouch would have some great ideas, such as talking nonsense or coming up with ways to make his companions in the resistance organization believe him, but in the end, Lelouch simply gave up the struggle.
"However, we have to mention to these people before we leave. If this place is unfortunately exposed, it will definitely not be our responsibility to inform."
"Ah, this..."
Karen thought it would be okay if she didn't explain it, but if she explained it, she might be suspected.
But before she could say anything, Lelouch spoke loudly.
"Everyone in the resistance organization, since you are full of hostility towards me now, I can't say anything more. But before I leave, I want to remind everyone here that the environment here is a little too suitable for a secret gathering. If I were the commander of this official raid by the Brittanian Empire, I personally would definitely order the soldiers to pay more attention to places like this to carry out raids."
"What are you trying to say, are you threatening us?"
There were many young people in the resistance organization who thought Lelouch was threatening them with words.
"No, I just want to remind you that the environment you are in now will make you as easy to be discovered by imperial officials as the lice on a bald man's head. As long as the commander who directs the sweep is not stupid, I hope you can find a more secretive one. Move places and then hide.”
Lelouch was speechless. His kind words of reminder were actually regarded as a threat, so he could only speak more straightforward words.
“You don’t need to say much about this, we will also move our base.
After all, this place is already known to you, a Breton.
If you have nothing else to do, please leave here. "
Although Shan Kaname didn't think Kallen would deceive one of his people, he still asked Lelouch to leave.
Lelouch left, followed by Kallen.
Someone looked at the backs of the two people and raised their guns behind them, preparing for a sneak attack, but they were immediately stopped by the people around them.
"Are you crazy?"
"You're crazy. My brother was kidnapped by Brittania's bastards."
There were some commotions from behind, but there were no gunshots. In Lelouch's shadow, he felt some malicious Black Abyss Demons, some of whom were about to move. However, they gradually calmed down after they were far away from the resistance organization's stronghold.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was going to be like this."
Kallen broke the silence. The situation just now was quite unfriendly to Lelouch.
Obviously he came with the intention of helping, but he was turned away by his companions in the resistance organization.
"It has nothing to do with you. The situation in District 11 will change and intensify racial conflicts. This is something that none of us expected."
Lelouch thought about it and realized that he was still too anxious. He should not start taking action as soon as he returned to District 11, but should first understand the current situation in District 11.
"Hey, Lelouch, is the Moral God really just?"
While walking, Karen, who was beside her, suddenly asked.
"Why do you ask?"
Lelouch frowned and looked at the red-haired girl next to him with some confusion.
"If it is righteous, then why didn't it work when others prayed to her this time?"
Kallen hesitated for a moment, then told Shan what she wanted to tell her.
"this……"
Lelouch was a little hard to answer. Before leaving the Federation, he had asked the national master about his true strength.
Although the answer I got was a bit nonsense, as long as the other party wanted to, he could knock out the entire planet under his feet, but even if he only believed it to a thousandth degree, the other party did have the terrifying power and influence of power to kill everyone in this world. The scope is almost global.
And in this case, if someone calls for help, it will definitely attract his attention. It is the power of consciousness that he claims to cover the world. Therefore, there are only a few reasons for not receiving a response.
One is that the national master is bragging that his consciousness power can cover the world. It is all a lie, but if it is not a lie...
"Young Basang, you actually believe this!"
Just when Lu Lu was thinking clearly and preparing to answer Kallen's words, a voice came from over there.
The two looked for the sound and saw three young men snatching the mecha wood from an old woman's hand.
"If you do this, you will receive retribution from Lord Tianzun!"
The old woman said this and wanted to get her wood back, but the three young men turned a deaf ear to his words.
"You said that we will be punished, just this illusory thing?"
The wooden wither was thrown to the ground, and one of them stepped on it. The not-so-strong wooden wither was directly broken.
"Did you see it? I stepped on the wood and broke it, but I didn't receive any retribution. Don't believe this kind of thing anymore."
"Yes, it is our Self-Rescue Association that can save District 11, not such nonsense."
"We were the ones who went to the front to fight the Brittanians with blood and tears, but you give all the credit to this wooden toy and offer it with such fine snacks?"
"If you have this money, you might as well give it to us..."
As a young man spoke, he went to take out the wallet in the old man's pocket.
"What are you doing, robbing?"
Kallen rushed to stop her.
"Don't mind your own business!"
Another person saw someone coming and warned in a somewhat unkind tone.
Then, Karen didn't waste any time and kicked him down with a kick.
Not surprisingly, the three young men never hit the girl who looked weak, but in fact she often lifted dumbbells at home to build strength.
"You wait for us!"
The man who was beaten with a bruised nose and face shouted, and when he saw the girl raising her hand to beat him, he immediately ran away with the help of two other people who were no better than him.
"Who are these guys?"
Karen frowned a little, but didn't continue to pursue.
"They are just bastards who are fishing in troubled waters and taking advantage of the opportunity to collect protection fees."
Lelouch was behind, answering her questions.
Kallen turned around and saw that Lelouch had already helped the old woman up, and even helped bring the trampled mecha wood to her.
I don't know if it was because of my blindness due to old age, but the old woman kept saying words of thanks and didn't seem to realize that Lelouch was a Brittany.
"In recent times, various organizations have always come to us and come to us to find various reasons to ask us to pay money. They say it is to protect our safety under the hands of the Bretons, but in fact, here I already have the protection of Lord Tianzun, but those people say that Lord Tianzun is fake, and it is really a sin..."
The old woman was chattering, and behind her, in the dilapidated-looking building, there were vaguely people inside peeking over. They seemed to be wary of Lelouch, a Brittanian, but they didn't feel much hostility. .
The people who live here are actually ordinary people in District 11. They have little to do with the resistance organization and have little to do with Britannia. They are just people who simply live here and want to live a stable life. .
"Didn't you say that no one believes that the Moral God is ineffective?"
Lelouch asked the question Kallen wanted to ask.
"Nonsense, Master Tianzun is obviously protecting us!"
The old man who was picking up the tributes on the ground heard this and immediately retorted.
"Five days ago, Brittanian troops arrived here, and those people were mopping up the rebels here, but the stray bullets hit our side.
At that time, my granddaughter and I were hiding in the room, and the wall collapsed on us, but we were not hurt at all. It was Lord Tianzun who protected us..."
The old woman invited the two people to her home and gave a pious explanation of her faith.
"Are you the only ones being protected?"
Lelouch asked.
"No, there are others."
The old man shook his head and answered.
"Uncle Yamashita, Aunt Zhuchuan, they are all protected by Lord Tianzun!"
Hiding behind her, a little girl of about five or six years old interjected.
"Can you elaborate, little sister?"
The little girl shrank her neck, but nodded and spoke.
From what she told, Kallen also learned that many people nearby were protected by mysterious forces during the recent turmoil. Those who were crushed by collapsed walls but were not injured in the slightest were not the same. What's more, the bullet was only 0.01 centimeters away from his forehead, but it stopped in front of him without killing him.
Yes, no one can explain why these things happen except miracles, but after all, seeing is believing and hearing is believing.
Although the residents near the residential area believe in the existence of Lord Tianzun, people outside do not believe in such nonsense, thinking that the people here are just afraid and resisting the Britannian Empire.
"In recent times, there have always been some strange resistance groups that come here to collect our protection fees."
"Isn't the Moral Heavenly Lord useless at this time?"
Kallen asked.
"Master Tianzun may not be able to care about this kind of thing."
The old woman sighed, her voice full of helplessness.
Lelouch and Kallen just drank two glasses of hot water and left.
.
.
"Now things are clear. It's not that the Moral Goddess doesn't help people, but the people who are being helped. Their voices are just unable to be heard, and they are all suppressed in the voices of those who have not been helped."
Lelouch thought that would be the case.
"Then why are some people being helped and others not?"
Doesn’t the Moral God also have people who believe in her or don’t believe in her? "
Kallen feels that this explanation is the most likely thing. People can be divided into close ones and distant ones, so gods should also be there. Why would you help someone who doesn’t believe in you? This is very reasonable, right?
"No, that's certainly not the case."
Lelouch said with great certainty that the thoughts revealed by the Imperial Master and the things he had done had proven that there was no distinction between belief and disbelief.
"Then why..."
Before Karen could finish her words, when she arrived at the Breton Quarter, she heard the TV in the department store playing some recent comments about the Breton Quarter by people from District 11. terrorist attacks.
The picture was obviously taken by a surveillance camera. I saw a dilapidated pickup truck parked next to the store. Some people got out of the car and covered their faces with black masks. They looked like they were from District 11, but they lit a homemade Molotov cocktail. Just smash it into a nearby store.
The flames spread, and a group of people were running. Even without the sound of the scene, you could still feel the sudden terror. The people in District 11 in the image were extremely ferocious. They not only attacked the store, but also attacked the group of people fleeing on the street.
"Thugs from District 11 attacked Hawkes Street, causing a total of 16 deaths and 106 injuries. Fortunately, the local security police arrived in time and finally shot and killed three rioters and arrested The other four thugs protected the people..."
“You’ve already caused so many deaths and you’re still protecting people?”
"Why don't you shoot and just kill all the thugs?!"
The contents of the TV news reports caused dissatisfied complaints to be heard on the streets from time to time. Passers-by did not feel that this was a victory, but they were somewhat dissatisfied with the security situation and angry that the thugs were not killed directly.
"Sure enough, the reason why we don't help is because we are unreasonable. The response to the terrorist attacks has made some people lose their position of being helped."
Lelouch said that the news in the department store directly verified his conjecture. For issues like this, the national master thought thoroughly and dealt with them in a very principled way.
Just let it go without any reason, regardless of the dog-eat-dog attitude. Maybe when we have enough manpower, we will send someone to sort out this kind of thing and then solve it.
"Then we should just sit and wait for death, shouldn't we resist?"
Lelouch's attitude somewhat angered Kallen.
"Idiot, don't be so loud!"
Lelouch saw the passers-by looking at him, sneered, grabbed Kallen's hand and ran away.
"On February 20th, District 11 Governor Clovis will be executed at the Shinjuku Grand Plaza..."
The sound of the news broadcast was left behind. Lelouch led the people all the way to the tram stop before stopping. He was panting, while Kallen behind him didn't even take a breath. The contrast in physical strength between the two was clearly visible.
"You're really weak."
"I, I use my brain, don't let me compare with you."
After getting on the tram and catching his breath, Lelouch answered Kallen's question.
"Resistance is possible, but resistance also requires methods, such as the terrorist attacks on TV news. Are you asking a god who stands for justice to take the lead?
It can be said that not helping Britannia and blowing the heads off those people from District 11 who carried out terrorist attacks is considered tolerable.
Karen, please make it clear that the guy who only stands on the side of justice and carries out terrorist attacks is obviously not just. "
