Chapter 14 Week 12 (Part 2): Declaring War

Seeing Pastor Liang step onto the podium, Rachel in the audience felt a chill rise up her back.She thought of what happened at the "Xinfutang" two weeks ago.And the smell of human flesh. Accompanying Pastor Liang on the stage were Aiqun and two other robust ministries. They all looked gloomy and cold like dolls, and they seemed to be able to do anything at any time at the command of Pastor Liang. Professor Lai felt that his safety was threatened, so he turned to the leaders of the violent gangs on the stage for help. Some members of the violent group wanted to come to power to stop it.But a few "big guys" waved their hands to stop them.

——Although these "big bosses" knew what Pastor Liang was going to announce early on, they also knew that the remaining resources would soon be exhausted in the long run, and their existing force would collapse sooner or later; but just now they heard Professor Lai's appeal Everyone giving up violence is tantamount to shaking the power in their hands immediately, and rationality is always no match for self-preservation instinct.They all hesitated. A short woman like Professor Lai couldn't possibly fight against three taller ministries than her. The microphone was quickly robbed and handed over to Pastor Liang.

"Children of God!" Pastor Liang's high-pitched voice echoed through the loudspeakers throughout the Victoria Park Stadium: "That's right! We are all children of God! Don't think I'm preaching, I'm telling the truth! People here can survive We have lived through deep suffering to this day, and gathered here to prove that we have all been chosen by Him, and we will surely survive!” Compared to Professor Lai’s reasoning, Pastor Liang’s words of consolation and encouragement are more touching, coupled with His voice itself was very pleasant and comfortable, and the emotions of tens of thousands of people on the field were immediately aroused.

"But we have to be careful, false prophets appear everywhere in this era!" Pastor Liang said, pointing at Professor Lai: "She will lead us on a path of destruction, we must not listen to her!" Professor Lai rushed forward desperately , put her face close to the microphone: "No, what I said is true! It is well-founded!" She waved the flight manual in her hand. Pastor Liang didn't stop her from speaking, but just sneered, as if he was confident in refuting her: "Haha, the basis? Just this book of unknown origin in your hand? And your so-called 'interpretation'?"

"I still have evidence!" Professor Lai took out another thing from his pocket.It is a device as big as a palm, surrounded by soft anti-collision rubber, with a lens and radio on it. "People have found these things in various places in the past few weeks, and more than a dozen have been found one after another! They are devices for shooting and recording, and they have the function of sending signals. They are a kind of remote automatic monitor!" Professor Lai said. He pointed to the sky again: "Don't you remember the mysterious armed helicopter that suddenly appeared in the sky a month ago? Everything proves that someone on the periphery of Hong Kong is watching us! The purpose is to check for this virus—no, it is Biological agent, what is the infection situation? What effect has it caused? Have we all turned into monsters killing each other and destroying each other?" The old horse in the audience was excited.Because what Professor Lai said is exactly in line with the speculation in his report notes.He is very proud holding his notebook and ink pen.

"That's why we have to use peace to overcome this biological agent! Let the outside world know that the infected will not pose a devastating threat, so they will be willing to unblock Hong Kong!" Professor Lai said with scholarly wisdom on his face Guanghui: "The future of Hong Kong, and even whether Hong Kong has a future, depends on whether we embrace reason or be defeated by fear and mistrust!" Professor Lai's words were sincere and won the approval of many people in the audience. Both Rachel and the old horse nodded repeatedly. "The tongue of the false prophet is as sweet as honey." Pastor Liang laughed and shook his head: "The things she said may be true, but the way she proposed will only lead us all into the valley of death!"

He pointed in the opposite direction of Victoria Harbour: "While she told us to give up our strength, can she also tell people on the other side to give up their swords and guns? Can she guarantee that we will not become lambs to be slaughtered?" Pastor Liang's words hit many people directly. Deep down.Including the leaders of those violent groups present. Professor Lai rushed forward: "So we have to send someone to convey—" She was only halfway through speaking, but was pulled away by Aiqun from behind, and her voice could no longer enter the microphone. Pastor Liang shook his fist and continued: "Everyone, don't forget that those viruses that fell from the sky fell on our Hong Kong Island! People in Kowloon and the New Territories probably already know that the virus is the cause of the 'big shutdown'. What will happen to them? Think? Maybe they are holding the same rally, but the theme is to 'cleanse' all of us on Hong Kong Island, including the virus! Are you still disarming yourself at this time?" "Don't listen to this pastor! They are a bunch of people who eat People..." Rachel yelled desperately from the audience.But at the same time, there were also people from "Xinfutang" everywhere in the audience, who shouted in response to Pastor Liang's words, and many people were infected and also shouted. Rachel's voice was completely drowned out.

There is a strong sense of fear on the pitch.Pastor Liang saw them and knew that he had completely mastered them. "God is indeed peace-loving, but He didn't teach us to face evil with weakness!" Pastor Liang raised his fist to the sky: "What we have to do is contrary to what the false prophet said, we have to grasp greater power! Hong Kong is under control! Then govern with strict laws and bring real peace! This is the best way to convince people outside to lift the blockade!" ——Give the masses a taste of fear before pointing out the existence of a common enemy.This method of instigation works against all odds.

Tens of thousands of people in the audience erupted.Some people started shouting various slogans.The chaotic slogans gradually unified: "Go-attack-Kowloon! Go-go-Kowloon! Go-go-Kowloon!..." Standing in the middle of the fanatical crowd, the old horse showed a painful look in his eyes.He opened the blank page of the notebook, and wrote on it with the ink pen that once pierced Ajie's carotid artery: "October 30, 201X, the first civil war in Hong Kong, war was declared..."
