After returning from the banquet, it was the second half of the night, and everyone fell asleep one after another.

However, the red pupil lying on the bed couldn't sleep no matter what, and kept replaying the words that the sect leader said during the banquet in his mind, as well as the words that Suzuka said, and occasionally thinking about a series of recent events in the revolutionary army, only feeling mixed thoughts, but not a little sleepy.

Such uneasiness is really not like the situation that a top killer like her should have, but sometimes some things are so unreasonable, and it is precisely because they are too important that they have to care so much.

The faint light of the moonlight that came in through the window paved the floor with a layer of frost, and the reflected glimmer illuminated the room, and the red pupil stared at the ceiling with her eyes open for nearly an hour, still in good spirits, and finally she simply lifted the quilt, rolled over and got out of bed, took her clothes from the hanger, and began to put them on.

After getting dressed, Hitomi left her room and gently closed the door to avoid waking anyone else. Next, she walked to the top of the staircase, and then followed the ladder step by step, climbing higher floors until the end.

"Squeak-"

Pushing open the heavy iron door of the rooftop, the red pupil walked out, the bright moon in the night sky was still hanging high, and the starlight was dazzling, reflecting on the girl's beautiful face, which was charming.

She raised her head slightly, looked up at the boundless moonlight, took a deep breath, and then exhaled again, the slightly cool air cooled her brain a little, and even her mood relaxed a lot.

“…… Hey? ”

Red Pupil suddenly let out a surprised sound, and when he looked around, he realized that there were already guests on this rooftop.

At the edge of the rooftop, a woman in a black suit with short silver-white hair stands against the railing. In her right hand is a bronze forged mechanical arm, with a lit cigar between her index and middle fingers, and white smoke rising from it.

At this moment, she was looking up at the night sky in front of her, looking at the starry sky silently, there was no focus in her pupils, and she didn't know where her thoughts were drifting.

Red Hitomi walked over quietly, stopping three meters behind the figure.

“Boss。” Red Pupil called.

Hearing the voice from behind, Najeta did not look back, still maintaining the posture of looking up at the starry sky, and said, "...... It's a red pupil, can't you sleep too? ”

"Well, come out and breathe...... Bosses too? ”

"With things in mind, it's naturally hard to sleep." Najeta muttered.

There was a long silence, neither of them seemed to be in the mood to say anything, the surroundings were so quiet that they could hear the pins falling, only the chirping of the night owl birds in the distant forest vaguely echoed, and the cool breeze whistling through it blended into one, forming a unique symphony of nature.

"Red Hitomi, do you still remember your wish when you joined the Revolutionary Army?" Najeta asked coldly.

The red pupil was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Najeta suddenly asked this, but she still answered without hesitation: "In order to make the people happy, create a world where everyone can live with a smile." ”

"Yes, this is your wish, and it is my wish......" Najeta sighed softly, "It is because of this belief that we can pay our consciousness and trek on the difficult road, even if our hands are stained with the blood of sin, and we will not waver in our vows to carry the revolution through to the end......"

"I think this is the right path, and the road ahead must lead to the future that we want...... But, yes, I really thought everything was too simple and taken for granted. ”

Najeta took a deep puff of her cigar and then exhaled a rich puff of smoke into the air, watching it drift away in the wind.

"The human heart is the most complex and unsatisfying thing in the world. It is difficult to say whether even those who once sought to be simply good will eventually fall under all kinds of temptations, let alone those who hold power, and who have restless beasts lurking in their hearts......"

"The hearts of men are always changing, and the fighters who swore to fight for the people are now becoming the people they once hated, and the people of power who bring pain and misfortune to the people...... Revolutionary? We have gone astray, and in the end it is just a joke, hehe...... Hahaha......"

She let out a low self-deprecating sound, then grew louder and laughed to tears, and the iron railing twisted and twisted from the extreme force of her left hand, and finally curled into an eerie shape.

Red Hitomi stood behind Najeta, just silently listening, she knew that Najeta didn't need to respond to anything now, this woman who had been in extreme contradiction and depression just wanted to find someone to confide in her inner distress, she just needed to act as a listener.

Najeta's laughter finally subsided, and she turned to face the red pupils, her dark purple pupils and the latter's red eyes looking at each other with a serious look.

"Red Hitomi, you should have seen it a long time ago, right?" "The current war of magnitude, which may even spread throughout the empire in the future, has long had nothing to do with justice," she said...... What beliefs? What fights for the people? It's all turned into something as cheap as shit! ”

"What will happen next will only be a struggle for interests, a struggle for ambition, and a struggle for power...... This strife will intensify, countless people will die, countless families will be torn apart, and no one will choose to stop until the moment comes when the only winner will be decided. ”

Hearing this, the red pupil lowered his head and was silent for a while, a look of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he whispered, "Then all the efforts we have made so far...... Is it all pointless? ”

"Not by all." Najeta shook her head firmly, "Anyway, we're all getting rid of pests for this country, and while it's not clear how much constructive it is, there's only one thing I'm sure of – it's the right thing to do, and you just have to believe that." ”

"I see." Red Hitomi nodded, as if accepting this statement, her eyes regained her composure, and said, "Then Boss, what should we do in the current situation...... Is that right? ”

Hearing this, Najeta pondered slightly, as if sorting out the words, and after a moment, she finally spoke: "First of all, we need to be clear about the belief that our sword is only waved for the people, and not for the ambition of someone, which is very important. ”

"And then we have to think about what we should do to steer the future of this country in a direction that is good for the people, and then make new choices based on that."

Red Hitomi was thoughtful.

"Now that you know that, it's clear what to do next." "We should stop it...... Or put an end to this senseless war as soon as possible! ”

"Now that the flames of war are burning all over the empire, how easy is it to extinguish it? In the northeast, Denati Viconia has already revealed his ambitions and minions, and I am afraid that it will not be long before he will raise his own banner and stand on his own, and with this precedent, it is inevitable that the warlords in other places will not breed some careful thoughts......"

"Even in addition to the hidden dangers existing within these empires, we must add the peaceful road, the alien peoples in the west, and the revolutionary army forces in the southeast of the empire...... If such a chaotic situation is allowed to develop, in the worst case, the country will be divided for tens or even hundreds of years, and the war will continue forever...... And for the people, there is no more terrible hell! ”

"That's why we have to bet...... Bet all you on the side with the best chance of victory, and put an end to this war! Najeta's voice was calm and firm, and it was clear that she had made a decision in her mind.

"Boss, are you planning to ......?"

Chi Hitomi immediately thought of something, widened her eyes slightly, opened her mouth, but did not say anything to refute, and finally chose to be silent.

"Red Hitomi, I have a very important task for you now...... Najeta said solemnly.

The moonlight was pouring down, the night was deep, and before the morning sun of tomorrow arrived, something had quietly changed.
