Chapter 25: The harsh condemnation gets louder and louder
That afternoon, in the evening, something remarkable happened at the gate of the Knights.
A large group of Mond people gathered here.
They waved their fists, looked extremely excited, and accused the Knights with almost ferocious faces.
Because there were so many people gathered here, and each of them was filled with righteous indignation, the place fell into great chaos.
The Knights had never faced the wrath of the people of Mondstadt head-on, so the two knights standing guard at the door panicked.
There was nothing they could do but leave one of them behind to maintain order while the other hurried in to report to Captain Qin.
How can order be maintained with only one knight like this?
This group of people gathered here excitedly, and the scene was still tense. Their malice was directed at the Knights without any concealment.
The leaders among them waved their fists and roared at the Knights.
The rant went something like this:
"Hand over the Abyss Wolf Boy! Hand over the Abyss Wolf Boy! Return Mondstadt to a safe environment!"
"That's right, the wolf boy, who has been corrupted by the abyss, is extremely dangerous! Hand him over! Let us destroy him humanely!"
"A child raised by wolves can't be trusted! Who knows if he still considers himself a human being?"
"If you ask me, a child who isn't necessarily human should have been eliminated from the very beginning! Not to mention he's been eroded by the abyss!"
"That wolf boy named Lei Ze is a dangerous person!"
"Hand him over! Kill him! Hand him over! Kill him!"
"Why would the Knights harbor such a dangerous individual? What is your conspiracy? Don't you care about the safety of the people of Mondstadt?"
Amidst the noise and shouts of accusations, Jean walked out of the Knights.
She stood on the steps, looking at the excited crowd below, feeling very embarrassed.
Of course, their Knights knew that Lei Ze was not dangerous at all, and the power of the abyss had been purified long ago.
But these people don’t know.
And looking at their angry expressions, you can tell that they don’t understand and it’s not easy for them to understand.
There is no way. Qin cannot harshly scold or even drive away his own people.
She could only explain loudly with a headache, while reaching out to try to comfort everyone:
"Everyone! Everyone! Please be quiet! Please listen to my explanation!
The child Lei Ze is currently recuperating in our Knights Order.
However, Lei Ze is definitely not what you would call a dangerous person.
He was indeed once corroded by the abyss, but the power of the abyss was purified by our Holy Light Knights long ago!
As acting leader, I can assure you that Lei Ze is a good boy and will never harm anyone in Mondstadt."
Just as Qin was explaining to others, in the Knights' ward, Lei Ze, who had almost recovered, felt a moment of dejection.
Although the little wolf cub is not good at communicating with people, he is good at listening.
Moreover, he still has the most basic logical thinking and language comprehension abilities.
Just now, the condemnation outside was rising and falling, one louder than the other. Lei Ze of course heard it, and he also understood that those people were targeting him.
People...seem to hate themselves...
They...are going to kill themselves.
What should I do...?
As a result, Lei Ze, who was already sensitive and thoughtful, fell into confusion and worry.
Maybe I don’t belong here, maybe I don’t belong to the city.
Let’s go back to the Wolf Territory and return to Lupica.
It’s best to leave early and not cause trouble to the master and friends.
Lei Ze had just come up with this idea and hadn't put it into action when Lisa pushed open the door and rushed into the ward.
When she came in, Lisa's eyes showed worry and anger.
When she saw Lei Ze was still there, she first felt relieved, and then felt heartbroken.
Seeing Lisa coming, Lei Ze lowered his head slightly, and among his many emotions, there was a bit more grievance.
Coming to Lei Ze, Lisa gently touched his head and comforted him:
"Little Wolf, don't worry about it. Those people making trouble outside are all bad guys."
Lei Ze raised his head slightly:
"Bad... people?"
Looking directly into her apprentice's eyes, Lisa tried her best to comfort him gently:
"That's right.
There are good guys and bad guys everywhere.
Just as there are always good wolves and unsociable wolves in a wolf pack, Mondstadt is no exception.
Don't overthink it, Lei Ze. Jean has already taken care of it."
At the same time, outside the Knights' Gate, Qin's communication with these people was not particularly smooth.
Originally, most people in the crowd were somewhat shaken after hearing Qin's assurance.
Because Captain Qin's prestige is unquestionable, they are willing to trust Captain Qin.
However, at the critical moment, the leaders at the front looked at each other and fanned the flames again:
"Captain Qin, is your guarantee 100% effective? Is that wolf boy really not going to lose control and hurt anyone?
I do not believe. "
"That's right!
Didn’t the Knights say before that the wolves in the Wolf Territory are part of the ecosystem and there is no need to be afraid?
But don’t wolves still hurt people every now and then? "
"that is!
If you ask me, how can animals and humans reach a consensus?
What's more, he's a little beast who was raised by beasts!"
These words made the usually good-tempered Captain Qin furious!
She frowned and looked sternly at the person who had just said that:
“Please watch your words!
If you don't mind your words, I'll arrest you for provoking trouble!"
The man was startled and didn't dare to speak for a while.
But other leaders immediately added:
"Captain Qin, stop showing off your authority! And don't change the subject! We're talking about the wolf boy named Lei Ze!"
"Yes.
A child raised by wolves isn't necessarily safe, let alone one who has been eroded by the abyss. This is even more dangerous!"
"Why would the Knights keep such a dangerous individual? He poses the greatest threat to the people of Mondstadt!"
"Is it because someone in the Knights is protecting this wolf boy? Could it be Lisa?!"
"That's right! Lisa is just a librarian, how could she do such a thing?"
“I propose that Lisa be removed from her position as librarian!
The Knights must hand over this dangerous individual! Let us handle him!"
"Yes! Leave it to us!"
"Eliminate the dangerous elements!"
"We can't let this wolf boy live!"
"The safety of the people of Mondstadt comes first!"
"Oppose the Knights' dominance!"
As the leaders continued to stir up trouble, the people behind them also started to shout.
The shouts and condemnations were so loud that they could almost blow the roof off the Knights!
Or perhaps human nature is blind and follows.
Most of the people here are fence-sitters. They basically have little independent judgment ability and rely entirely on the leaders to fan the flames.
As soon as they added fuel to the fire, the anger of these people was ignited, and a situation of public outrage was created.
Qin stood on the steps, looking at so many angry faces below, she felt really disappointed and angry.
