Inhuman Warlock

Chapter 173 - 173: Lie

Some people even wondered how these people were allowed to work with kids for the government.

"The kid that you think is a criminal still didn’t hate anyone. He had love for everyone and hoped to be like his parents even after all this. Because he was a kind soul, not as portrayed by the APF and the government, what made this kind soul into a Criminal, you wonder? The answer is simple!"

"It was the overbearing cruelty of the government. Even after all this, they didn’t stop. The footage you saw at the start wasn’t recent. That was the footage that followed right after what you saw," the Narrator said as the footage continued.

Lucifer was taken from his room and brought to the lab, where he was placed on the bed. Many wires were attached to his body.

Soon, the torture began. It showed how despite Lucifer’s constant scream, the scientists didn’t take pity on him. On the contrary, it seemed like they were enjoying themselves as a smile was on their face as they kept increasing the pain.

"He is dead. Cell destruction, hundred percent."

As people saw the footage with all the context that they previously didn’t have, they were even more shocked.

They had thought that this torture was happening now after he had become a killer? But it was done even before? It was done when he hadn’t even done anything wrong?

The more they saw, the more they realized how much this kid went through. What this kid went through, they wouldn’t wish even on their worst enemy. This was too cruel.

"And thus, Lucifer was killed! The kid that had all this hope for making this world a better place, was killed. The son of Zale Azarel that sacrificed his life, was killed! Do you think the government cared about him after seeing what was done to his son? If you do, you’re naive!"

"Not a single person that cared for another person would put his son to a torture like this for half a decade!"

"The future of the young child was taken from him. All because of no fault of his own. Since the moment his parents died, he only saw the dark side of humanity. Not a single person protected him!"

"Fortunately, through his parents’ grace, he came back to his life as a Variant. All he wanted was to kill those scientists. Anyone would want that."

"Throughout the journey, the APF started chasing him and attacking him. In his self-defense, he had to kill them. Was it wrong? Did that make him a cruel murderer?"

"Who decides he is a criminal? The APF? The same APF that claims to protect people and care about their life?"

"Even after so many obstructions, Lucifer finally got his revenge and killed those scientists," the Narrator said.

Hearing that news, most of the people felt a sense of revelation. That’s what those scientists deserved. They didn’t feel that least bad about their details.

Some even raised their fist in the air, failing to control their excitement. After all this, the kid got his revenge. He deserved it. They were glad that those bastards were dead now. They wouldn’t be able to do things like these to others.

"The story doesn’t stop there. As Lucifer left the facility after killing those scientists, the APF once again came to imprison him."

"When Lucifer didn’t surrender, they attacked him."

The footage showed Xander attacking Lucifer, killing innocent kids in the process.

" The person you saw attacking is none other than Xander Blake— one of the leaders of APF. And the kids he killed are more victims of the facility’s tortures that Lucifer had freed."

"The kids could finally have their freedom, but that didn’t happen as the APF killed innocent Variant kids!"

"Throughout this whole time, all Lucifer did was self-defense and take his revenge, and he’s called a Devil Kid? He’s called a Demon?"

"On the other hand, APF, an organization that claims to fight for justice and gives the title of criminals to people, what are they?"

"Who is a real Devil? The Kid who went through so much torture and did self-defense or the APF that tried to kill a kid instead of understanding and helping him against injustice?"

"Who is the real Devil? The kid who killed the one that wanted to kill him or the APF that literally killed so many innocent kids without having the least bit of regret?" The Narrator asked as the video focused on Xander’s expressionless face after killing the kids.

"This is your time to think about it. Stop being blinded by words and look at the reality. APF is evil. Government is evil. They show their righteous side to hide the true evil they do while blaming everything bad on the Variant Uprising. It’s time for you to rise and take the power into your own hand. Don’t let them cont-"

The Narrator continued but he couldn’t even finish as the feed was cut off. The channels returned to normal.

...

"We did it! Finally, we were able to cut their connection and recover the channels," A man told Varant, who was standing right behind him in the control room.

"You did, but it seems like it’s already too late. This is a huge mess we are in." Varant muttered, frowning. "The distrust of people in us will be at an all time high now. That’s not good."

He looked towards Riali before he started leaving.

"Riali, release a statement from our side. Claim that the videos used in the footage were fake," Varant told Riali.

"You mean I should lie?" Riali asked, frowning.

"It’s for the greater good. We need to lie a little, or the problem would become bigger. We can’t let Variant Uprising become the heroes."

"We can’t become the villains. Support of the public is crucial. I’ll tell the president to keep the same statement and call these things fake," Varant answered, shaking his head lightly.

...

"We lost the connection. Should I try again?" A Variant Uprising member asked Raia, who was standing right behind him.

"No need. I think we got most of the information out. No need for more. Now it’s time to use this to our advantage. They’ll surely try to call it fake news. Too bad, they’re going to get a big surprise as soon as they do it," Raia said as he smiled.

...

As the two sides were trying to one-up the other, there was another person that wasn’t a part of any equation.

One blonde-haired man was watching the TV and saw all that was shown.

As for the man, he was not someone ordinary. He was none other than...
