When the emotions of the crowd are ignited, the entire hall is filled with waves of anger and shouting, as if everyone is driven by the same force, loudly expressing their indignation and demand for punishment against the elderly. The ripple of this emotion spreads like wildfire, and no one can resist the anger wave guided by Mario.
Luigi, the prince who usually keeps a low profile, now stands in the spotlight, his voice full of passion and provocation, like a general on the battlefield leading his army forward. This power makes everyone feel an indescribable sense of excitement.
In the background, Princess Peach sat quietly, her deep gaze seeming to see through everything. Her admiration for Mario was not just because of his cunning and wisdom, but also because of his ability to easily manipulate the minds of others and steer everything in the direction he desired. In this game of power, Princess Peach knew deeply that Mario's methods and foresight far surpassed the imagination of ordinary people, and this was precisely the reason he could stand at the peak of the Mushroom Kingdom.
Mario stood before the crowd like a lofty monarch, every move of his closely followed by countless pairs of eyes. When he raised his injured right hand once again, the distinct red scratch appeared even more vivid under the light. Every turn of his hand caused gasps and commotion, as if an invisible force was spreading through the air, infecting every person present.
The air in the hall seemed to become hot with adoration for him, as the reverent and respectful gazes converged into a powerful force that surrounded Mario. Deep awe appeared on people's faces, and their trust and worship of Mario seemed to have reached a religious fervor.
Mario immersed himself in this supreme feeling, his heart filled with pride and satisfaction. He knew that his every word and action were like divine decrees to these people, not to be violated. In this way, he felt that he was not only the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom, but also the unshakable faith in the hearts of these people.
As time passed, Mario's figure became increasingly tall and imposing in the hall, like an unscalable mountain, inspiring awe. This display of power was not just an affirmation of the individual, but also a declaration for the future of the Mushroom Kingdom: under Mario's leadership, the Mushroom Kingdom would become even stronger, and no one could shake his position.
Just as Mario was reveling in his victory and respect, the blind eyes of the old man seemed like sharp thorns, continuously piercing through Mario's hard-earned confidence. Even though his eyes appeared cloudy and lifeless, they were locked onto Mario as if seeing through his soul. The smile on the old man's face was deep and mysterious, hinting at his anticipation and understanding of the current situation.
This smile, for Mario who is proud and admired by everyone, feels like a cold shower, stirring up an inexplicable unease in his heart. The old man's seemingly all-knowing attitude and the smile that seems to have anticipated everything make Mario feel a fear he has never experienced before. Why is it that when the whole room is cheering for him, only this blind old man can remain so calm and even smile with sarcasm?
Mario tries to suppress this unease, but the old man's presence is like tiny needles constantly piercing deep into his soul. Every smile from the old man seems like a challenge to Mario, as if telling him that all this victory and respect are just superficial illusions, and the real threat is quietly approaching.
Luigi Slowly, the turtle shell in Luigi's hand seemed to signal the start of a crowd attack. He violently smashed the shell towards the old man, plunging the whole scene into a kind of almost primitive frenzy. The turtle shell violently struck the old man, emitting a dull sound, followed by a wave of saliva, small stones, fruits, and even including rotten vegetables and other debris, pouring down on the old man like a storm. The old man's body was quickly covered by these items, as if it had become a canvas haphazardly scribbled with chaotic and colorful paint.
Mario In this crazy scene, Mario stared closely at the old man, seemingly with a kind of inexplicable anticipation in his heart, hoping that through the actions of the crowd, he could eliminate the fear and unease in his heart. Every time the old man was hit, every scream and curse from the crowd seemed to bring a moment of relief to his soul. However, this relief was so fragile and fleeting.
Even though the old man was struck by these items, leaving various marks on his face and body, he always maintained a transcendent and calm expression, as if all of this was insignificant dust in the world. Even in this situation of being scorned and attacked by the crowd, the old man's attitude remained so calm. Even in the chaos and noise, his seemingly all-knowing smile still made Mario feel an indescribable unease and fear.
At that moment, the clamor of the entire scene seemed to disappear in Mario's perception, leaving only the almost silent lip movements of the old man echoing in his ears like ghostly whispers, cutting through all the noise. The old man's lips moved slightly, as if reciting some kind of spell or prophecy, with no sound escaping, but thundering in Mario's mind.
Every time the old man repeated the words, Mario's heart raced faster. His eyes were fixed on the old man's lips, and the fear and unease gradually spread, as if an invisible hand tightly gripped his heart. The two words - "fall down" - echoed in his mind, like an endless abyss calling out, creating an indescribable sense of despair, as if the entire world was foretelling its imminent destruction.
Even within this shell enveloped by power and prestige, Mario felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness and helplessness. He tried to shake his head, attempting to shake off these hallucinations, but the seemingly magical lip movements of the old man followed him like a shadow, leaving him no chance to escape. At this moment, even among the crowd, Mario felt a panic and unease like never before. He realized that the old man might bring the greatest threat he had ever faced in his life.
