Chapter 146 Chaohai City Incident! "Criminal Citizens"
Everyone was shocked and hurried to comfort the old man.
After the old man got excited, his body suddenly stiffened, and then he knelt straight down towards the northeast.
No matter how everyone tried to stop him or pull him, the old man just knelt on the ground and wouldn't get up.
When he looked up, his face was already covered with tears.
The old man burst into tears and said something that shocked everyone:
"We are guilty, Lord Yan, we are guilty... We are deserters, we are sorry to you and the people of Chaohai City...
We are sinners, sinners who live to atone for their sins..."
The five people, including all the audience, were stunned.
"Lord Yan", "Deserter", "Chaohai City"...
These few sensitive words together make people think of,
At the end of the Third Age of the Calamities - in the year 299 of the Calamities, a catastrophic alien disaster occurred in the coastal area of District .
That was the only "catastrophic" natural disaster in nearly a hundred years.
Ruled by the forbidden alien species "Sea Monster-Tentacle" and "Sea Monster-Styx Jellyfish",
Tens of thousands of local mutants and foreign marine species in the East Canglan Sea are the main force.
A suicidal, destructive invasion of human cities.
That natural disaster caused the entire Chaohai City, one of the three largest cities in the four districts, to fall!
To this day, the Chaohai City area is still a barren land!
Although it has not completely turned into an old ruins where alien species are rampant, the remaining alien energy fluctuations and weapon radiation are no longer suitable for human survival.
More importantly, during this disaster, an incident of desertion occurred that was despised by the world.
When Chaohai City was in danger, the team that was responsible for protecting the citizens' retreat abandoned the city and fled after being attacked.
Because of their actions, tens of thousands of citizens were killed by the huge waves!
At the same time, Chaohai City's chief governor, the number one psychic, and an eighth-level master, Yan Guanshan, died at the city gate while defending the city, and his body was dismembered.
At that time, this incident caused a huge uproar!
But in the end, the official public handling results only mentioned that the escaped team members were deprived of their identities and basic rights as hunters, and no other details were given.
Although everyone was discussing it enthusiastically at the time, the heat gradually died down and no one paid attention to it anymore.
No one would have thought that nearly a hundred years later, the person who was despised back then would be seen in a little-known mountain town.
Immediately afterwards, the barrage of comments exploded and the internet went viral.
【!!!!!! This has shocked me for a hundred years. These pathetic people turned out to be the deserters from that year? ?】
[Fuck! It’s too early to donate money! ]
[Give me your money back!!!]
[I am about to throw up. This town full of deserters is just as disgusting as them!]
【@方义!!! What on earth are the production crew doing?! Didn’t they check the background before choosing the location?】
[@方义 has also learned how to negotiate for bad money???]
[They all act so polite and affectionate, but they are all a bunch of hypocrites! ]
Online, this incident quickly broke out:
Chaohai City Deserter Appears on Variety Show
Surprise! The criminal who plagued the whole city became a charity adopter?
The whole network boycotts "Da Jia"
Qiao Risheng and others were stunned and didn't know how to react for a moment.
Liang Chengyu immediately winked at Lin Xuanyao, and she avoided the camera and ran out to find the director.
On the other side, the director team set up a temporary residence in the town.
The assistant director was flipping through the online entries and comments on the live broadcast with a worried look on his face. Two strands of his hair, which were already in danger, trembled and fluttered down again.
He looked at Fang Yi beside him with resentment: "Fang Zi, I am risking my life with you. I am betting the rest of my career on it."
Fang Yi was as steady as a rock: "It's within expectations and within the plan."
Didn’t Fang Yi check the origin of Huaixiangye Town?
Checked.
Don’t regional officials know the root cause of the nostalgic wild towns?
know.
Are the people in Nostalgic Town deserters?
Yes.
But, is what happened back then really as everyone knows?
Not really.
Fang Yi accidentally learned about this place when he was choosing a filming location.
After investigating the background, he keenly discovered that the rumors at that time were definitely problematic.
First, since the authorities knew the identities and “crimes” of the townspeople, why didn’t they punish them severely, but instead supported them silently and adopted the abandoned “powerless” ones?
Second, the tens of thousands of citizens of Yanguanshan who evacuated at the end and these "deserters" evacuated in the same direction.
Why did Yanguanshan ignore the "deserters" and instead protect them to "escape" safely?
Third, why would a group of psychics who were once the elite of the team become "powerless"?
These doubts have been raised before, but due to the lack of key evidence and the severe adverse impact of the incident at the time, it was difficult for the authorities to control it.
Therefore, the doubts were completely obscured by the noisy public opinion.
Just like now, there are a lot of heated discussions online.
Twos and threes of reasonable people:
[Can you not act like you've taken a bullet? Can't you use your brain? There is no official conclusion on what happened back then! They are not necessarily "deserters", they just "failed the mission"! ]
[If nothing else, they are the only survivors in the entire Chaohai City, and they are the only spark of Chaohai City. I think there is something here]
[You can scold me, but please don't take those innocent children with you. They are innocent! ]
However, these comments were severely criticized by the excited "righteous people".
Not only the program team and the older generation of townspeople,
Those "powerless" children are also said to be "crooked beams", "future deserters", "scum of society", and "burdens that should be dealt with"...
When what most people believe to be justice is deeply rooted in people's hearts, some cruel acts become praised as heroic deeds.
People only believe in the justice before their eyes.
Fang Yi doesn't think the townspeople are innocent, but he also doesn't think they deserve to be deprived of their human rights.
So, he just wanted to let the passionate and righteous people realize that there are only ordinary people in the world.
Ordinary people, on the other hand, seek benefits and avoid harm.
Of course, this was just one of the purposes. He did not tell others that the reason he dared to make this matter public so blatantly was that he had the official support of the region.
He is the official head of the region, and we hope that he can change the world’s view of this group of people through this program.
It's not about whitewashing, but at least... acceptance as a fellow human being.
Fang Yi also hopes that by investigating the case of that year, he can lead more people to analyze the events of that year rationally and calmly.
The Internet should not be a place where rumors are flying around, where people just follow the crowd, or where people do whatever they want.
The Internet should be rational and truthful.
This is difficult, and ideal.
Fang Yi knew it, but he would still do it.
The assistant director didn't say anything, but patted Fang Yi on the shoulder and said, "I am a mediocre person, and there is nothing I can do except trust you."
The assistant director has worked with Fang Yi many times, and this time he took the initiative to ask for cooperation. Because Fang Yi's variety shows are considered a breath of fresh air in the circle.
The theme is adventure, no routine, no awkwardness.
Take his past achievements for example. In his programs, he has discovered unknown species, discovered spies lurking in the Western Continent, and saved cultural relics from ancient tombs...
Fang Yi’s program is thoughtful.
This is his reason for believing.
