LOL: Summoner of Goddess Janna
Chapter 339 Shen: I made a decision that went against my ancestors
This war documentary, which was eventually named "The Catastrophe of Baru'e", was shot as quickly as possible under the strong promotion of President Levi.
The reason why Levi was eager to make this war documentary was not for Master Yi to use it to persuade the Kinkou Sect.
He wanted to use it to persuade the Zaun people and arouse their sympathy and support for the Ionians, so as to do pre-war mobilization propaganda for Zaun's future cross-sea expedition to support Ionia.
As for pre-war propaganda works, there is no creative genre that can be more effective than a documentary.
Because most of the time, humans are more emotional than rational animals.
It's often the stories that move people, not the facts.
You know, the Noxus Empire has been invading Ionia for several years.
The people of Zaun and Piltover have also known for a long time that the Ionians have been suffering from the great pain caused by the war of aggression - this fact is known to the whole world and does not need to be repeatedly publicized by the leader.
But after knowing the truth, did they sympathize with the Ionians?
There was at first.
But then it disappeared.
Because Ionia was too far away from the lives of the residents of the Twin Cities, and the war lasted for too long, people were completely desensitized to the suffering that happened to others and had no feeling at all.
People will initially be amazed by the shocking news that 10,000 people in Ionia died in the Noxian massacre.
But later, as Noxus carried out more and more massacres in Ionia, this number became larger and larger——
From 10,000, to 100,000, to 1 million, or even more...
By this time, no one cared how many people died in Ionia.
As long as people don't die in front of you, those 1 million people are just a meaningless number.
How many people died in Ionia, and what does it have to do with Zaun? The Ionians have been invaded by Noxus for several years. Isn't this the end of the country and the extinction of the species?
Since you, the leader, say that wealth is created by working people, why should you use the wealth created by us Zaun people to support others?
.....
This is what many Zaunites think now.
That's why Li Wei wrote the article "We Should Let Zaun Disappear" to correct the wrong ideas within the association.
But not all Zuan people are leaders who can listen to boring theories, and theoretical education has a very limited effect on them.
That’s why leaders need to make war documentaries and turn the distant truth into bloody stories.
There are pictures and sounds, making people feel as if they are actually there, as if they are also the protagonist of the story.
Only in this way can we truly touch people's hearts.
Like now:
"This..." Shen, Akali, and the members of the Kinkou cult were all completely shocked at this moment.
This documentary titled "The Catastrophe of Baru'e" forcibly pulled them out of this paradise-like mountain.
It forces them to face the cruel reality that they know very well but find it difficult to face.
They saw many such scenes from the real images projected by the Hex projector——
They see:
Fleeing children drowned in the water, their bodies lying on the beach;
The injured girl fell to the ground, while the vulture waited patiently for her to die;
The man pushed the cart with difficulty, his expression numb as he looked at the dead body lying on the roadside;
The woman tried her best to be coquettish, hoping to get back some of the food the Noxian soldiers had stolen.
...
The leader only sent people to wander around the Baru'e Province and the occupied areas of Noxus for a few times, and they easily took pictures of these cruel and true scenes.
Pictures, music, coupled with the lens language and film editing technology that have matured in the Twin Cities...
This documentary is as impactful as witnessing it with your own eyes.
"..." Shen was completely speechless. So does Kennan.
Because they know that these are true. They had seen many of the scenes inside with their own eyes at the foot of the mountain.
That's why Shen is so entangled, between whether to break tradition and come out to save the world, or whether to stick to his principles and stick to the mountain gate.
When traveling down the mountain, his heart was more inclined to the former.
But back in the mountains, living in the beautiful scenery of this paradise, far away from the cruel reality, Shen's heart will unconsciously sway back and forth, leaning towards the conservative side.
But now, Yi brought the tragedy that happened at the foot of the mountain directly in front of him.
He could no longer escape reality and pretend he couldn't see it.
"Shen, Kenan..." Akali murmured.
This documentary shocked her even more than it shocked Kenan and Shen.
Because of her, and many young disciples of the Kinkou Sect, they have lived in the mountain gate all their lives from childhood to adulthood.
Except for the brief period when they were driven out of the mountain gate and forced to move, they had almost never traveled in the world under the mountain, and they had never witnessed with their own eyes the serious disaster that Noxus had brought to this land.
They only knew that the Ionians were experiencing pain, but they had no idea how desperate and horrific the pain could be.
And now, she finally saw it.
In a most impactful way.
"Have the people outside the mountain been experiencing this all the time?" Akali looked at Shen and Kenan: "Shen, Kenan, you have all seen these things, right?"
"..." Shen was speechless.
Even the veteran Kenan was speechless.
"You've all seen it!" Akali clenched her fists angrily: "Then how can you stick to those broken rules and do nothing?!"
At this moment, she even felt that she could understand that the big enemy had robbed her.
What's the point of maintaining a bullshit equilibrium when we stand idly by in the face of such tragedy?
"Akali, calm down..." Kenan wanted to reason.
But before, he could explain the method of balance to Akali logically and clearly, but now it was a bit difficult to even reread his own theory.
no way...
The documentary is still playing in front of everyone.
It would be awkward for Kennan to point to the victims in the picture in front of everyone and say, our Kinkou sect has its own rules and regulations. In order to take into account the overall situation of the balance of all things, we must first suffer these compatriots in Balu'e and let them Let them fend for themselves.
Even if this sentence really makes sense and there is some balance and overall situation that needs to be taken into account, he can't say it like that.
Because this is not human speech at all.
Now that he has told it, how can he still be a respected senior in the sect and a squirrel teacher that children like?
"Shen." Kennan simply said: "You make the decision."
"I..." Master Shen suddenly shut down.
He was somewhat indecisive to begin with.
Now it would cost him his life to have him make such an important decision on behalf of everyone with his difficulty in making choices.
"Master Shen." Yi saw the right opportunity and began to persuade: "We, the leader, need your support - not only to support us, the leader, but also to support the suffering people of the entire Balu'e Province!"
"So, please give us a helping hand! Help us drive away the Noxian invaders, restore the millions of lives in Balua Province, and restore peace to Ionia!"
Master Shen remained silent.
But his heart has already moved.
"I know that the mission of the Kinkou Sect is to maintain the balance of all things, so I don't want to get involved in the mortal world and disturb the situation."
"But if you help us just this once, can it really affect the balance?"
"No!" Master Yi said while the iron was hot: "If you don't take action, the balance will be damaged!"
"Because the Noxians have used all possible means to encircle and suppress the Wind Leader, their killings in the Balua Province will never stop here, they will only intensify-"
"If nearly a million people in Balua die due to the war, then the entire Balua Island will become infested with evil spirits and no grass will grow!"
"Master Shen, do you really think that this is beneficial to the balance?"
"I..." Shen was speechless.
He watched the tragic scenes being shown in the documentary, and recalled the reality he had witnessed at the foot of the mountain.
The Eye of Twilight shoulders the important task of maintaining the balance between the two realms, which requires absolute indifference and rationality.
Trampling evil spirits in the material realm and destroying humans in the spiritual realm—these two are the only goals he needs to eradicate.
All matters other than this are not within the scope of Twilight Eye's responsibilities.
Shen has been trying to imitate his father, hoping to become a qualified Twilight Eye. But he is Shen after all, not the "Eye of Twilight".
He also cared about earthly things and the people of Ionia.
Finally, Shen made a decision that went against his ancestors:
"Master Yi, this time..."
"The Kinkou Sect can take action."
