Chapter 553: Grievances and Hatreds
Murphy was not surprised to be made a scapegoat, as Larry and Thompson first stripped him of his command and then handcuffed him, meaning that his political career as a cleaner was over.
Murphy actually had a premonition of this result.
Why this is so, is because of the special relationship between Murphy and the Ram.
The Ram used to be the S-level customer of the cleaner, and he had a very good cooperative relationship with the cleaner, and Murphy was the direct person in charge of the docking ram.
For the structure of the cleaner, the S-class customer is an extremely important resource, and being able to connect with the ram in person indirectly shows that Murphy has a high status within the cleaner.
Murphy is the next rank within the janitor after the members of the Presbyterian Church, and his public identity and position is that of a senior FBI official.
Bright or dark, Murphy is a big man on every level, but Larry, he's in charge of the army within the janitor, building and commanding an army.
In other words, Murphy is not a professional soldier, he can't fight, and Larry is the commander-in-chief of the cleaner's army, especially after the cleaner's high-level was hit hard by a man named Yang Yi and snatched the cleaner's holy relics, Larry's status has improved again, and he has become a member of the cleaner's presbyterian council because he controls the army.
Murphy didn't have any cronies, yes, there must be, but it didn't work.
Because the command of all the armies in the Malakal region is not in Murphy's hands at all, the original supreme commander died in the alien attack on Malakal, and Murphy is now the highest ranking person in the entire Malakal region, but he is not the actual controller of the army, and the command of the army is in the hands of the commanders at all levels of the remnants who were defeated by the solar system company.
That's why as soon as Larry arrived in Malacal, he simply dismissed Murphy's military power, and he could directly deal with Murphy with only two guards.
It's also ridiculous to say, as one of the several high-ranking cleaners, Murphy should have held real power, but the reason why Murphy went to the Malakal area and became an alternate member of the Presbyterian Council, the highest authority for cleaners, could only work here because he had a good cooperation with the Ram and a personal relationship.
Because of his relationship with the Ram, Murphy will not be trusted, he can only be idle, and will only get a seemingly noble but empty shell position, wasting his life and talent.
But Murphy is a believer, he is not willing to waste his life, and in order to prove himself, he takes the initiative to ask Ying to go to the Malakal area, responsible for securing the communication lines between several cities, not even the number three.
Now, Murphy has found an opportunity to prove himself, the first, second and third people who were originally lower than him, but who controlled the Malakal area are all dead, so the status is also the highest, but Murphy, who has no real power, naturally takes over all the troops.
But with the military power in hand, before the heat was hot, the Council of Elders directly sent Larry to deprive Murphy of his military power and completely knock him into the abyss.
And even the crime has been thought of, that is, the Elders will suspect that Murphy and the Ram are colluding and secretly betraying the information.
The cleaner and the man in gray were originally rivals, the advantage of the cleaner was that he secretly formed his own army, and the advantage of the man in gray was that the high-level infiltration of governments was more successful, but both the cleaner and the man in gray were decapitated by a sea god who created a water organization, and the cleaner lost his holy relic, and although the man in gray kept his holy relic, the loss was greater.
The cleaner had to cooperate with the man in gray, who was originally a family, but after splitting and becoming mortal enemies, and then forced to cooperate again, even if the two sides cooperated again, it was impossible to close the rift immediately.
So the cleaner should have been in charge, because the cleaner has an army, and the gray man can only rely on the cleaner, but now, but now, but now, Murphy is being wantonly insulted by a gray man riding on his head.
And Larry, who was originally Murphy's closest comrade-in-arms, actually helped a man in gray to mess with himself.
Murphy wasn't angry, he just felt sad.
In Murphy's long career, whether as a high-ranking official in the FBI or as a high-ranking cleaner, his main enemy was the Gray Man, whose hands were stained with the blood of the Gray Man, and he used to devote his greatest energy to pulling out the Gray Man and killing the Gray Man.
But now everything has changed, the former enemy has become an ally, no, closer than an ally, a direct combination.
And Murphy's once most admired, intimate, and optimistic friend has become an enemy, the most powerful and deadliest enemy.
With a long sigh, Murphy shook his head lightly, and he said to Larry, "That's it, Larry, you can kill me." ”
Larry shook his head, but Thompson said in a deep voice: "No, you are still useful, I said, you were killed when the ram tried to rescue you, well, maybe your biggest role is to make the ram appear, I actually attach great importance to the ram as a person, he can get to this point not by luck, if he is really as righteous as the legend and the data, then he may try to rescue you, right?" ”
Glancing at Thompson with disdain, Murphy said to Larry, "For the sake of past friendships, pull out your gun and shoot me, at least don't let me die at the hands of a man in gray, unless...... You've always been an undercover agent for the Grey Man. ”
After saying that, Murphy's expression suddenly froze, and then he said to Larry, "You can't really be the Gray Man, right?" How else would you turn your back on your beliefs? People like us, once they have no ideals and beliefs, they are no different from dead, so you ...... You're the Grey Man! ”
Larry said with a look of disgust on his face, "What are you thinking?" Murphy, I've never been an undercover agent, I just recognized the reality and knew what I wanted. ”
Thompson waved his hand, and he smiled: "Mr. Murphy is a veteran of playing with people's hearts, and he has solved many big cases in his hands, and it is Mr. Murphy's interest to personally solve serial murders, not his professional needs, I remember that Mr. Murphy only took four hours to open the psychological defense of a serial murderer who has been hidden for twenty-four years, so Mr. Larry, he is just trying to disrupt your emotions." ”
Larry sighed, and Murphy looked at Thompson and said coldly, "I know who you are!" ”
Thompson smiled, then he waved his hand and said, "Alright, now we have something to do, send someone to retrieve the body of the Fire Stealer, that would be useful, by the way, I have to find a way to inform the ram that you are about to be executed, well, I really hope that the ram is really as righteous as the legend says." ”
