Chapter 177: Blame Everything on Luiz!

"This guy is the one responsible for the death of our friends and our families! Luiz!" Shirley shouted.

"You… you bastard! It was all your fault that my husband died!"

It was one woman who spoke first. She's around thirty years old. Oleg looked shocked when he saw her.

When I looked at him for confirmation, he spoke in a low voice that only I can hear. I have told him that my hearing is very good so he knows that I can hear him.

"That's my sister-in-law." He said.

Sister-in-law? Doesn't that mean it was Oleg who killed her husband?

Well, in any case, it was indeed Luiz's fault that her husband died. If he didn't suggest to sacrifice this city, all of these would never happen. But if these things didn't happen, I wouldn't know what to do since all I've prepared after returning back to the past is for this moment.

From here on, it's unknown area. I don't know much more of what will happen after I altered the future this much. And even if I didn't alter it, I don't know much about the past anyway.

First it was Oleg's sister-in-law who shouted. Then the others followed.

"My house is destroyed by monsters, you bastard!"

"Some people even stole valuables from our house when we were evacuating!"

"Yeah? My son died because of him!" A big man shouted.

"You don't even have children." Someone smaller next to him said it. I can hear them even when their voice is low.

"I just want to shout something."

Alright, big guy. I like you. Keep shouting whatever you like.

And just as I hoped, he and the guy next to him shouted many things.

"You stole my sandals!"

"That house you live in was mine!"

"My crush married someone else because of you!"

"My neighbor died because he slipped on a banana peel and fall from a cliff! It happened three years ago but I blame you for it today!"

Alright, those two keep shouting nonsenses that some agents took notice of them and started to keep watch on them.

While the others are shouting their grievance of the losses of their loved ones, those two are just here for fun. Once everyone started shouting, they want to get involved even though I think that they didn't lose much during the stampede. And they look so happy cursing Luiz.

Well, the agents will do something if they are found to be suspicious anyway. I'll leave those two to them. For now, it's still Shirley's turn.

"Wait, everyone! Calm down first! There's more to what we have found out! Please listen carefully since this will affect everyone. Not just the people in Melk, but in the whole kingdom as well! And probably, even the world!"

After hearing what Shirley said, everyone calmed down a bit. Other than those pair who seems to have something they want to say. What is it this time I wonder? Something about their shoes?

Then Shirley started explaining about the danger of the Evil Cult who is evil to everyone. We need a name from them. We can't just keep calling them Evil Cult or Evil God Cult.

Hmm… maybe we can! Since it just shows that they are really evil. I need to thanks Angela for that if she's really the one who told Shirley to say it.

But it's now my turn here. I see the script I put under Luiz's clothes and read it.

"You wench! If you're not here then my plan will go smoothly!" I said with Luiz's voice.

I think my voice acting is so good that it makes Shirley shudders. Or is it that Shirley never heard of any curses directed at her that she's not used to it?

Everyone is stunned to hear what 'Luiz' said. Even Luiz himself. He tried to turn his neck to look at me but he can't since his body is tied. I thought this was part of the script.

Seeing no one is reacting to the script, I guess I should do some improvisation.

I smacked Luiz's head and warned him.

"Hey! Don't you dare insulting her highness! The royalty of this country is working hard to improve the lives of the people, but what have you done? As a noble, you should be helping the people! Not sacrificing them!" I said. This is with my own voice.

Then seeing me doing all the talking, those who knows the truth was shocked. But they just let it be since after I insulted her, Shirley is unable to react properly even when we had the scripts.

I guess it just mean that script and me are never meant to be.

"Who the hell are you!? You're just one stinking guard! If not for this Magic Restriction Collar, I would have killed you again and again!" This time I spoke with Luiz's voice. I also had Victoria turn his head toward me. But his expression… instead of anger, it was a mix between surprise and confusion. What? Never see someone so good at talking to himself?

"It's exactly because of that collar that I can do whatever I want!" Again, I speak in my own voice. But I haven't finished talking yet. Just to make people's animosity is aimed at him more and more.

"Did you forget? Our kingdom banned any kind of slavery. But why did you have this thing in your mansion? Not just sacrificing the citizen. You also took slaves as well? Or maybe you are trading slaves?" I continued.

I blamed Luiz for all kind of crime. I thought I would keep talking to myself until everyone has collected their thought so we can continue, but Hill is there among the crowd with a helping hand.

"Hey! Don't tell me it was you who took my son!? He went missing three years ago! So you took him as a slave and sold him somewhere!? You deserve to die!" Hill said.

With that at the start, some people started shouting about their missing families and friends as well. I don't know if Luiz is involved in trafficking, but he deserved to die indeed.

As for the two who came here just to have fun…

"Don't tell me it was you who kidnapped my grandma!? I know she's on her last breath, but to think you had her kidnapped as well… She's over a hundred years old!"

"Did you forget? My grandpa is looking for her. I heard that he found her and then got married after that. They lived the rest of their short lives in the woods."

"Of course I know that. We're twins! Both grandpa and grandma forget that they're in love with each other so each encounter it felt as if both of them fall in love again for the first time. I just wanted to shout something."

"I know. Although they have forgotten us as their grandchildren, isn't it romantic to fell in love again for the first time with the person you swore your life to?"

Gyahahaha! So they are fraternal twins! I thought they were close, but I never thought that they are twins since they look different. And the story about their grandparent is true? Forgetting things sucks, but to be able to fall in love for the first time again and again is so sweet of the couple. I hope for the best to those old couple who keeps falling in love again and again until the end of their lives.

I think this is the first time in my life that I want someone to be my friend. And there are two of them! If possible, I would like to meet them later. But since I am so busy, I think that would be difficult.

Now that all the animosity of the citizens of Melk have been aimed at Luiz, Shirley tells everyone in the audience about what we know about the cult and only things that they can know. Not things like we are deliberately let the stampede to happen. That's one thing that must be kept secret no matter what.

While Shirley is explaining what she can tell to everyone, a female voice come out from Luiz's mouth.

"Roy. You have a talent with talking to yourself." It was Victoria. She's talking while still in Luiz's mouth.

"I spend a lot of time alone in my previous life after all."

"You're just like a little girl playing with her dolls. Are you sure it's okay to say something like previous life in front of this guy?"

Although we speak in a low voice, of course Luiz can still hear us since Victoria is talking from his mouth.

"It's fine. He's going to die anyway. With this many people hostile against him, it's impossible for him to stay alive later. But there seem to be no assassin after his life so far."

"I think it's because Shirley is the one doing the talking. She told everyone what we know, so whether this guy is still alive or not, it doesn't matter to them."

Victoria is right. There's no point in assassinating people to shut them up when the information has already been leaked. But I'm worried if they will think that we know about HGB in the cult members mouth. But I hope it will be fine since no one will think that someone has the power to see through things.

Seeing Luiz has a serious expression, I can't hold back telling him the truth.

"Hey. Wanna know the truth? Actually, I came from the future. The stampede should have destroyed more than half of the city, but I prevented it by telling the king about it. Have you fallen into despair?"

Luiz has the look of a man who has fallen into despair. He must be thinking that I'm right since he was being targeted. And with this, he no longer has any desire to fight back anymore. Since he thinks that anything the cult will do, will be in vain with me knowing about the future.

What he didn't know is I have no other knowledge about the future after this. But I won't tell him about it.
