Chapter 51: What is the Truth
Looking at the content of the letter, I couldn't help but gasp, just the beginning of the above made me surprised, and I immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. The main words in the letter are:
Dark Guest 702 was the last to report
First of all, I apologize to you for not handling this matter the way you intended, and 702 hereby declares the mission a failure. It's not that we don't want to complete this task, but we want to complete it too much, which leads to a lot of miscalculations in the process of implementation.
Perhaps by the time you receive this letter, we have been utterly defeated, and we have been wiped out. I'm sorry I can't go to see you in person, I don't know if this letter will be delivered to you, but I still have to write it. Even if there is even a little hope, I would like to pass on the following message to you.
The last time I gave you the information of the Changbai Mountain Arsenal, there was a big misunderstanding in it. When we came here, we realized that we got something wrong and shouldn't have come here first, but we should have gone to that place first.
I found out that there are 4 commonly used symbols whose meanings have been mistranslated, and that someone did it on purpose. We should have been infiltrated internally, but I don't know who the infiltrated person is. I'd love to go to Changbai Mountain again and find out what the mistranslated symbol means, but I don't have the chance.
In addition, we found that the organization that was fighting against us was much more powerful than we had imagined, and it was difficult for us to withstand such a powerful enemy with our strength alone.
I hope to give you a suggestion is acceptable, I recommend that you give up this task, although I know that it is difficult for you to make such a decision, but I must say that this is not something that our organization can accomplish, so the sooner you give up, the smaller the loss, if you persist any longer, our organization will become smaller and smaller, and it is very likely that it will cease to exist in the end.
If I'm not mistaken, I should have sent out the sixth wave to complete this mission after you took this position, and I expected that the sixth wave would also disappear. I no longer have hope in life, and since I arrived at Changbai Mountain, I have already known that disappearing will also be my end.
Whether you accept my suggestion or not, I hope you will seriously consider this issue.
The following symbols are what I think are problematic and may be of some help to you.
Dark 702, farewell to you
After reading the letter written by Irene, I was not very surprised, the only thing that surprised me was that the signature was not Irene, but the codename: Dark Guest 702.
When I saw these words, my head was buzzing all the time, and I was very nervous in my heart. Looking at the address of the envelope again, I had to believe that everything in my heart was right.
Secret guest, this word, in our Faqiu Sect has a history of thousands of years, mainly composed of the children of the disciples of Faqiu Sect, managed by a special person, the purpose is to collect important information, according to the current words to engage in intelligence. But it's all hidden work, and even if it's discovered, it has nothing to do with Faqiumen.
But according to many elders, during the Ming Dynasty, there was no secret guest in Faqiumen, why did Irene use the name dark guest 702, which made me very puzzled. Could it be that there is still an organization of assassins in the Faqiu Gate now, but I have never heard of it, nor have I been aware of the existence of this organization.
If there really is such an organization, then the only person who leads this organization is the senior brother. But in the whole letter, there is no mention of who is that "you" and what is your identity? It seems that Irene deliberately wanted to hide that "you", probably because she was afraid that the letter would not reach that person, and that her identity would be revealed.
I can't wait to open the second letter and see if it's the same in it. But the address on the second envelope is different, although it was also sent to Chengde, but this address is not familiar to me, and it is the first time I have seen it.
Open the envelope and look at the signature inside, it is completely different, this time the signature is Irene, and the content of the letter is:
Dear eldest sister, I am Xiao Lin.
Eldest sister, when you read this letter, I may have left this world, or I will disappear forever. Please forgive my sister for saying goodbye, it all came too suddenly, and I didn't expect it.
When I received this mission, I knew that this would happen to me eventually, but I couldn't refuse, and I was very eager to get the answer in my heart.
But after gradually learning the truth, I hesitated, but felt that I should not continue to investigate, and the inner entanglement reminded me to give up all the time, but in the end, I could not escape the drive of curiosity, and I decided to continue to investigate.
It turned out that my decision was wrong, and what happened next was not something anyone could have imagined. What happened to me cannot be described as difficult, fearful, or even a better adjective. But by the time I wanted to give up, it was too late.
All I can say is that all this is beyond our control, and it is clear that we are overestimating ourselves, underestimating each other, and underestimating the power of the truth.
I didn't report the truth, and although I already knew where the answer was, I didn't touch the answer because the truth was unacceptable. I even kind of think that the other party is right, we shouldn't continue to investigate, once we know the truth, then Fa Qiumen will also fall into the same sea of suffering as that organization.
I understand each other very well now, because they know the truth, so they have always fallen into a sea of suffering and cannot extricate themselves. But I don't want us to be like this, so that the Hair Sect will be painful.
I don't regret dying for Faqiumen, but I must remind my eldest sister not to let the people around me be secret guests anymore, that is not helping them, but harming them.
Thinking back to the people who disappeared from Faqiumen, they had touched the truth, but in the end they still did not escape, that powerful force. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel scared, afraid that inexplicably disappearing.
I knew that I would not be able to escape the disappearance, so I wrote this letter to my eldest sister. Please eldest sister must remember not to be a secret guest again, let alone to look for any answers. Maybe never knowing the answer is the best result.
Love your little sister forever: Irene
Holding two letters with completely different contents in my hand, and seeing that the notes were indeed from one person, I was a little confused, and I didn't know how to understand these two letters.
One was reporting to work, but she didn't mention the truth, and the other was more like a letter home, but it described the power of the truth so terrifyingly. What is the result of not being able to escape that kind of disappearance, for what Irene will be afraid of disappearing inexplicably.
What does all this have to do with the truth, why doesn't she report the truth? On the contrary, in the family letter, the truth is described as terrible? So what exactly is this truth?
