Chapter 203 Resentment
"That 'Messenger of Justice' has been causing trouble for a long time. Thousands of people have died at his hands. The whole government is in panic. Do you want to continue to let it go?" Cheng Mu chose to question Ye Zi directly.
For such a long time, the special warfare department with such force has allowed a murderer to go free and continue to commit crimes. In his opinion, it is completely abnormal and someone must be causing trouble.
"Chairman Cheng, you can't say that. In order to suppress this lunatic, dozens of casualties have been paid, and many seriously injured people are still lying in the ward. What do you think of the efforts of those martyrs?" Ye Zi responded with neither salt nor lightness.
She had indeed hinted in private that her subordinates were letting Hou Zi go, and the encirclement and suppression personnel dispatched were basically fringe figures.
Because the way she gained power was too subtle, her foundation was still unstable, and her influence among the middle and lower classes was very small. Many people believed that she was "usurping the throne."
It would be better to let this knife grab more positions for her direct descendants. Anyway, none of the people dying now are hers.
And Ye Zi also knew from the reports of his subordinates that if he really wanted to strangle a madman of this level, the price he would have to pay would be absolutely unprecedented.
Even if she does it herself, things will become difficult to handle if the other party keeps choosing to escape, and there is no certainty of killing him.
Once he sneaked into the big city, two natural disaster level ability users fought, and in minutes they were destroyed just like Tianqing before.
Moreover, if Hou Zi was injured during her desperate counterattack, it would be even more detrimental. Her current right to speak is also based on being a member of the top combat force. Once she falls, the consequences will be disastrous.
More than half a month ago, the director-general of construction, who was responsible for overseeing large-scale projects throughout the federation, was found dead in a high-end club, with eight characters written in his blood next to him - "Heaven will punish the traitors, and justice will never be destroyed!"
This made Cheng Mu once again bring up the matter in the seven-person meeting. The chief construction officer was also his direct descendant in the senior management. Such a loss was a heavy blow to their line. They had to let one of his own people regain this position. , the price paid is by no means simple.
The four words "Heaven punishes the national thief" next to the corpse were even more of a slap in the face to him.
Since more than half a year ago, every time Hou Zizai committed a murder, he would post the details of the crime next to the corpse, then take photos and upload them to the Internet, turning it into an alternative live broadcast.
As for the source of the crimes, most of them are through cruel torture of the victim, forcing the other party to confess all kinds of black materials in a short period of time.
The task force that has been hunting him found that the address of Hou Zi's posts was a different black Internet cafe every time through the Internet. However, even if it retrieved the information from the surrounding surveillance cameras, this could be greatly changed through micro-control of the body. There's nothing the ugly guy can do.
It is difficult for police officers who are accustomed to standing in the perspective of normal people to extend their case-handling experience to thinking from the perspective of capable persons. In the era when they were learning to solve crimes, there was no content about teleportation crimes at all, and It is impossible to have the concept of killing people through the air with telekinesis.
But it has to be said that Hou Zi's behavior of "doing justice for heaven" and posting criminal records next to the body after killing people made most people on the Internet not so disgusted with his behavior, and even vaguely supported it.
Especially after it was verified that these charges were true, more people came to believe that these people were more than innocent.
When he is mentally normal, he has a very good mind, and naturally knows how to constantly make the public recognize himself through public opinion. What Hou Zi pursues is justice in his eyes, not the enemy of the whole world.
People who imitate his behavior have never disappeared. Every week there will be one or two people who follow his righteous footsteps. However, under the powerful state machine, there is no one like Hou Zi who has the ability to kill people to become stronger and to fight to support war. In the end, they will only be crushed to pieces in the endless pursuit.
The resentment accumulated at the bottom did not disappear with the great changes in society. Instead, it became more serious after the classes were further torn apart.
In particular, there are many rich people around who have already entered their sixties and whose health is deteriorating. However, they rely on their huge wealth to purchase various expensive cultivation resources and build up a youthful and strong body. Resentment and jealousy became stronger than ever.
Most of the mortals who originally knew that they could not cultivate immortality without spiritual roots would only complain about heaven. However, if they knew that one spiritual root could be bought for half a million dollars, but they could not afford it, the object of their resentment would immediately become selling spiritual roots. of people.
Or not everyone hopes to live a life of good food and clothing, but as long as they are normal people, they hope that they can live longer and be healthy and strong forever.
However, the price of spiritual stones per gram per contribution point in the system excludes most middle-aged and elderly people from practicing. Compared with lucky young people, if they want to achieve the same cultivation effect, they have to pay upfront. More than ten times.
A decaying body has poor absorption of spiritual energy, and the spiritual materials needed to repair the body alone are worth tens of thousands of contribution points, not counting the consumption of spiritual energy absorption aids such as spiritual stone candles.
Even ordinary young people need thousands of contribution points to keep up with the pace of geniuses, which is hundreds of thousands of Chinese dollars converted into current currency. Being poor in literature and rich in martial arts, cultivating Taoism and ruining one's family has become a mantra of many people.
In an era when life cannot be extended, or everyone can only die silently in the end; but this is an era of miracles. Everyone knows that there are real treasures that can extend life and restore youth and health, but because of lack of money, If the reason is missed, it will naturally lead to deep dissatisfaction with the entire society.
Because people are always accustomed to attributing bad factors to external factors, the first target of lack of money will definitely not be pointed at their own lack of effort, but at the unfair distribution of society.
However, under the pressure of the government with unprecedented power, all these grievances can only be hidden, quietly waiting for the day to explode.
"Respect yourself as a bandit!" Cheng Mu put down these four words, then turned and left the meeting.
"That's it for today." The two parties broke up unhappy.
The ability users supported Ye Zi's side more, while Cheng Mu represented the original ordinary people's forces.
Although he also wanted to get rid of Hou Zi, who had already committed countless major cases, but his subordinates had too many things to be responsible for and could not deploy enough high-level ability users to complete the siege independently. In addition, the United States Spies occasionally interfered, causing every operation to end in vain.
"Perhaps he is right, times have indeed changed, and the relationship between the strength and weakness of the collective and the individual is no longer so absolute." Although Cheng Mu was also an ability user who had entered the integration stage, he still felt a little inadequate.
