It's time to improve the strength of the infinite world

Chapter 355 Witch Hunt
"Wizards are just a bunch of freaks!"

"Burn them! They are heretical demons who blaspheme God!"

"Human rights! Freedom! We need equality to make America great again!"

………………

Holding banners and signs.

The crowd was filled with excitement, like dry wood ignited by a raging fire.

They waved their fists or tied scarves with slogans on their foreheads and took to the streets to express their fierce resistance through demonstrations.

People's faces were distorted with anger, their eyes flashed with rage, and they first shouted various slogans. Angry roars exploded in the crowd, shocking people's hearts like thunder.

Then, even sharper curses rang out one after another.

Inciteful accusations are like sharp blades, cutting through the air and striking people's hearts.

Like a raging storm, it swept through every inch of the air, tearing sanity and peace to pieces.

Men, women, black, white.

It was a rare consensus, or at least a superficial consensus, where everyone spoke out for the same goal.

It seemed as if they had converged into an unstoppable torrent, impacting the already unstable social order.

One world, one dream...

Well, this is pure flattery, of course it is impossible.

The chaos that followed the demonstrations spread like a plague, and all kinds of crazy acts of looting, smashing, burning and buying things for zero yuan became a natural episode.

But everyone has long been numb to this and has become accustomed to it.

After all, this situation has happened before, and it happens especially frequently during periods when people suspect the world is about to end.

If we look back in time, it is not difficult to find that in recent years this phenomenon has already become a beautiful landscape of the beacon of freedom.

Therefore, people have long been accustomed to it, and some even take it for granted.

Besides, the most important thing now is to get more people to join in and make a louder voice.

No one tried to stop it...some even took advantage of the situation and joined in, making the situation even more chaotic. In this chaos and madness, the ugliness and greed of human nature were fully exposed.

——The momentum of the march is growing.

——The noise caused became more and more shocking.

The streets were packed with people, and from a bird's eye view of the city, it looked almost like a huge black mass.

Mixed in with the noise were the occasional angry screams or hysterical roars as the dark crowd moved forward, looting the buildings along the way.

The broken doors and windows and items scattered all over the ground bore witness to the brutality of the chaos.

The voices of resistance were ruthlessly suppressed, and those who tried to stop the flood were brutally and violently knocked to the ground. Under the trampling of the crowd, the groans of pain and screams were intertwined.

This is still considered good luck.

After all, those who are unlucky can't even make a sound.

The looting party will also constantly have conflicts with themselves, some will take advantage of the situation to rob, and some will rob the looters. These internal conflicts and fights will undoubtedly make the chaos more intense and more uncontrollable.

"too messy……"

"As expected of a land where the flower of evil blooms..."

On the upper floor of an apartment building not far away, the curtain of a window was gently pulled open a crack, and the elf lady, Honjo Nia, who was spying on the movements outside, was muttering to herself.

She disguised herself to a certain extent, wearing slightly conservative clothes and a pair of black-framed glasses on her nose.

She looks like one of those young women who prefer to stay at home, keeping a subtle distance from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

"Society is too divided. I wouldn't be surprised if there is another civil war between the North and the South, or if it simply splits into fifty countries..."

A young lady-like voice echoed softly in the room.

As Tokisaki Kurumi's outline gradually became clearer in the surging shadows, the light and shadow in the room seemed to change as well.

The whole process was like people first saw her shadow appear in the room, and then her entity slowly emerged.

"If it hadn't stopped now, I doubt it would have happened."

As she said this, Tokisaki Kurumi walked to the window.

He also slightly opened the curtains and looked out the window.

She was not very interested in the dark crowd that spread over several nearby blocks. Her eyes passed through the noisy crowd and looked up at the distant sky.

As the sun sets, the sky is dyed blood red.
Looking at it, it has an ominous meaning.

But this is already a rare good weather and a normal astronomical phenomenon.

It is not known whether it is a signal that the confrontation between unknown forces in outer space has temporarily stopped, or that their confrontation has entered a new stage, or whether some mysterious optical shielding device has been corrected.

In short, the "sky curtain" that had been continuously projected before - from the catastrophe fire to the flowing light, and the outline of the huge structure orbiting the planet... all disappeared temporarily.

For smart people, this brings a sense of urgency to the unknown.

And for fools, this brings a false sense of security.

"Come to think of it, it's all thanks to the existence of the space quake, otherwise they wouldn't have such a big heart."

Honjo Nia said in a very subtle tone, which contained both a sharp edge of sarcasm and a hint of self-mockery:

"From thirty years ago to now, your nerves should have been trained."

"That's true..." Tokisaki Kurumi said cheerfully, "But are you sure? Will the target appear here?"

"…I'm not too sure, I can only say it's very likely."

Honjo Niya curled the corners of his mouth.

"After all, I can't predict the future directly. At most, I can make inferences based on the existing information clues."

What is happening in which part of the world and who is doing what.

These are the existing information clues, and making judgments based on these given parameters is a very subjective matter.

For example, if she now knows that a person is going to the supermarket to buy something, then she can reasonably infer that the person will appear in the supermarket next...

But this is just a logical inference, and reality is often much more complicated than we imagine.

We cannot rule out the possibility that the person encountered something on the way or changed his mind temporarily, so he may not appear in the supermarket in the end.

"That woman was transformed into an elf and lost her memory. She should be quite confused now..."

"She was subconsciously searching for her past, wandering around London, then crossing the ocean and heading towards America..."

"This trajectory is quite obvious. The Americans recovered Isaac before, and now they have come up with the Wizard Registration Act. This doesn't seem like a coincidence..."

Benjo Niya stated his thoughts.

Her angel tends to be auxiliary in nature, and as long as she can make good use of this search engine, many secrets are no longer secrets to her.

"I think that woman must have sensed something and followed the connection to regain her lost memories, so she followed this trail all the way here."

Tokisaki Kurumi nodded: "It does sound more in line with the current situation."

She felt that there was nothing wrong with Honjo Niya's inference. The only problem was the other party's attitude...

He keeps calling her "that woman" and it's obvious that he is prejudiced.

Emmmmm...it's normal. He was ambushed and attacked unexpectedly by the enemy, and was knocked down and imprisoned for five years.

No one is without resentment. Even if you find that the other person has suffered the same fate as you, and has become a victim like you, or even lost his memory, you can't just let it go.

only……

Although I understand Honjo Nia's thoughts, Tokisaki Kurumi still wants to remind you:
"We must unite all the forces we can at the moment. No matter what, she is already an elf... If we don't fight for it, this power will be used by the original elves."

"..."

"..."

"Okay, okay, I understand. The main thing is..." Honjo Niya sighed and was about to say something else.

Just at this time--

Boom! !
A violent spiritual power reaction suddenly erupted not far ahead, like a huge typhoon exploding and sweeping across the city on the horizon!

"...!!"

The two girls were stunned at the same time, and then their faces changed slightly.

——Has it appeared already?

——When exactly?!

………………

………………

wizard.

It is not a new and fashionable word, it has been known to people for a long time.

However, this did not allow this concept to be quickly recognized by the public in the new era. Instead, it was likely to rekindle the witch-hunting craze of the Middle Ages.

The cause of all this can be traced back to half a month ago.

The promulgation of the Wizard Registration Act really made big news for Americans, and its efficiency was simply jaw-dropping.

But it is understandable. After all, strictly speaking, the former anti-elven army—

Elite troops who have been trained and can operate tactical display devices.

——In fact, his original positioning was that of an “artificial wizard”.

But it's all kept secret.

It is impossible for ordinary people to know.

Therefore, if the lower limit is set low enough, it is very easy to produce results directly.

In addition, Americans are eager to seize the initiative. They are eager to be the first to set standards and declare sovereignty - no matter who it originally belonged to, it now belongs to me.

So, deeply influenced by path dependence, they took action without hesitation.

then……

The country exploded.

Just like in a certain movie, the so-called battle between humans and mutants——

Many people find it difficult to tolerate the emergence of stronger, wiser, and more powerful individuals, and are even more unwilling to see these individuals surpass themselves in terms of life form, class power, etc.

Especially when these individuals were once exactly the same species as oneself.

--and……

——According to the bill, it seems that wizards cannot be popularized.

——Because the tactical display device has extremely high suitability requirements for the user.

So this is the most important point.

This is also the root cause of these people's desperate opposition.

Amid the huge momentum, those who vowed to hunt witches lost themselves in the torrent of emotions, with only a fanatical pursuit of their goals remaining.

And just at this critical moment——

A figure arrived quietly.

Elaine Myra Messers.

The former most powerful wizard in the world, who had lost his memory and been transformed into an elf, looked around in confusion.

She did not appear in pure spiritual attire like a normal elf, but was also wearing the most elite tactical display device on the outside.

Even though most of them are broken.

But she couldn't make up her mind to throw it away. It was like an unfinished fragment of memory that she was reluctant to abandon.

The lost memories lingered in her heart like a fog, making any object that might be related to the past become precious things that she tried her best to keep.

Such a conspicuous presence naturally could not escape the attention of the parade crowd.

That iconic wiring suit is so unique that it is undoubtedly a direct symbol of the "wizard" identity.

So, without further ado—

An unprecedented fierce conflict suddenly broke out.

When an individual integrates into a group, his or her personality is often submerged in the torrent, leaving only the group characteristics of emotionality, lack of dissent, and low IQ.

"Blind", "impulsive", "fanaticism"... these words seem particularly appropriate at this moment.

Driven by fanatical emotions, the power of numbers made rationality as fragile as thin ice. At this moment, they shouted slogans of opposition, and the desire to hunt down witches and burn heretics to death became their most urgent need.

The only problem is...

The other side will fight back.

"...!!"

Elaine Mira Mathers lost her memory but not her fighting instinct. She knew exactly what she should do and did not hesitate at all.

Feathers of light emerged, like an angel with spread wings, and every ray of light contained the power of destruction.

At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.

A powerful beam of attack burst out from the tip of the wing of light, like the sharpest sword in the world, or like a shining laser, ruthlessly cutting through the atmosphere and sweeping out at a large angle!

With irresistible power, everything that stands in the way will be destroyed!
In an instant——

Thousands of people were shouting frantically, like fallen leaves blown up by a storm. Before they could reach the girl, they found their upper bodies flying up.

The moment it was separated from the lower body, it was accompanied by countless broken limbs and arms, as well as other shattered and exploded flesh and blood.

It seemed as if blood was raining from the sky, and every drop was the end of life.

A strong smell of burning wafted out, it was the wail of melted flesh, the light attack swept indiscriminately, like a red-hot wire cutting solidified butter!

The dense flesh and blood was cut, melted, and even exploded under the high temperature in an instant, it was extremely bloody!
At this moment, this scene——

It’s like that scene where the Homelanders use heat rays to annihilate the people around them, cruel and real.

But it all happened too suddenly and too briefly...

The people at the back of the crowd didn't know what was happening yet, and were still pushing the people in front enthusiastically, shouting excitedly for a witch hunt, surging forward like a wave.

Until the screams were like sharp blades piercing the eardrums.

The crowd suddenly realized that the air was filled with the smell of death.
