Chapter 11 Will there be a sense of aptorship?
"What happened in the end?"
As they waited for the rescue helicopter, Packard raised the question in his mind. This is also a question for others. Their eyes were not blind, and no one missed Mo Fei's shocking knife performance. In addition to this, experienced soldiers have additional problems: those grenades that explode in the air.
They don't have this feature, so it must have something to do with Mo Fei.
Some, including Packard, vaguely felt that most of what they were exposed to involved secret naval programs, or higher, not the navy but the entire army.
In principle, they should keep their doubts in their hearts and take them to the grave and never say them, but after all that has happened, no one cares about the principle of hell.
Even if you don't know how to answer.
Their guess was not wrong, Mo Fei's answer was just a simple word: "confidential." ”
"Don't give me this, Lieutenant Colonel." Packard relentlessly cried, "My man is dead, and I need an explanation." ”
"You should ask Randa."
"Landa tricked us here, and you can keep my people alive and do nothing." Packard angrily accused, but didn't mention anything that would prevent him from taking revenge—it was his war, his mission, his victory, and it wouldn't be handed over to anyone.
Mo Fei smiled, in his heart. On the surface, he was still solemn and sincere. "I am very sorry for your people's affairs, lieutenant colonel, but you should know that many times, in order to keep secrets, we have to pay the necessary price."
"To hide from the Russians?" Mason. Weaver spoke everyone's mind.
"To conceal our enemies."
"So it's still the Russians, and their allies." Weaver shook his head, "But there are no spies for the Russians here." ”
"It's not necessarily spies that cause secrets to be exposed."
"Are you targeting me, Lieutenant Colonel?"
"In 1943, the Chairman of the Military Affairs Committee, Andrew Brown. J. May told reporters that the depth of the Japanese bomb was too shallow to threaten the safety of American submarines, and his words were published in newspapers, resulting in the sinking of at least 10 submarines and the death of more than 800 servicemen. "I'm not targeting you, ma'am, but you and your peers always want to make big news, so it's best to keep you at arm's length from the secret." ”
His words weren't entirely false, and the people who didn't save Packard certainly had nothing to do with Weaver, but he did think that it should be kept a secret in front of reporters.
All journalists.
"So, you're still targeting me." Weaver nodded. She knew the minds of soldiers like Mo Fei and Packard, and she was used to putting the blame on others when they encountered defeat, especially those who put the dark side of the army they loved on display under the sun.
That doesn't mean she won't fight back. "It's a pity, Lieutenant Colonel, that your secret doesn't seem to be kept."
"On that note, you should first consider Mr. Landa's attitude." Mo Fei looked at her sympathetically, "My secret will only harm the national security of the United States, but his secret will cause the whole world to fall into turmoil and unrest. ”
Weaver reflexively turned his gaze to Randa and then Packard and Conrad, then the others, and their reactions immediately made Randa nervous.
He stared at Mo Fei. "How much do you know about the emperor?".
Instead of answering, Mo Fei said to Packard: "Lieutenant Colonel, you are at a crossroads, and your choices will determine your future and whether you can achieve your wishes......"
He didn't finish, partly to make the deception more effective, and partly because he heard the roar of the engine. The long-awaited rescue helicopter has finally appeared, so all discussions and controversies can be put aside for the time being – people who belong to this world will think so, in fact, forever.
Without time for further discussion, the Reincarnation Team was given a solitary helicopter, but once it rose into the sky, the four members immediately discovered that their positions had changed in an instant: one second in the helicopter's cabin, the next in the living room of a typical Hollywood movie-style American country cabin.
It's the same as when you enter the story world.
Since their main deity is in this simple and efficient style, no one should be surprised, but the living room of a country cottage? This is unheard of.
He Xie felt the need to express a little appropriate surprise. "I thought I'd see an empty platform and a huge ball of light."
"Ball of light?" Guo Bo sarcastically said, "What era do you live in? ”
"I don't read much."
"Looks like I should trust you."
"What's in it for me to lie?"
"Who knows." Guo Bo replied casually, threw himself into the sofa and quickly adjusted to the most comfortable position, and then looked at Mo Fei, "What do you think, my friend?" ”
Mo Fei's answer showed that he was in a good mood: "We should be glad that we didn't see a gourd-shaped ...... Photosphere. ”
"What does that mean?" He Xie asked.
"A bad joke." Qin Lang walked over, "What should we do now?" ”
"What does the bracelet say?"
"Didn't say anything." Qin Lang glared at his old classmate, "You can't check your own bracelet?" ”
Guo Bo smiled brightly. "Don't I still have you?"
"It seems like I should feel honored."
"That's right."
"Sooner or later, ......" Qin Lang still wanted to continue his boring bickering game with Guo Bo, but He Xie intervened very inappropriately. Something seems to be wrong with my bracelet and it's stuck. ”
"What do you mean stuck?"
"Uh......" He Xie remembered that Guo Bo had not used the high-tech equipment that the Lord God had equipped for him, so he had to start with the most basic part. Normally, when the bracelet is activated, it projects a holographic projection that only the wearer can see, and then the information can be selected and viewed as if it were a tablet. And now the problem is that the projection of my bracelet always stays on the initial screen and does not respond to any operation. ”
"Mine too." Qin Lang told him at this time, "I think our bracelets are like this. ”
"What? Why didn't you ...... earlier" He Xie stopped. He found that Qin Lang and the other two were all nonchalant in their attitudes, as if it was just an inconsequential little issue.
He Xie found it difficult to understand. "You're not worried?"
Guo Bo confirmed his guess. "Of course not."
"So you already knew?"
"Nope." Qin Lang shook his head.
"So ......"
He didn't get a chance to continue. "It's just a little trick of our Lord God."
"Because you shouldn't be chosen." A completely unfamiliar, mechanical voice said from behind He Xie, so frightened that he almost jumped. He quickly turned around and saw a ...... about the size of a basketball floating in the air
Photosphere.
He was a little panicked. "What is this?"
No one spoke, and the ball of light answered his question on its own. "You're scared? It's weird, it's supposed to be you who wants to see the ball of light. ”
"Huh?"
A three-dimensional holographic projection of He Xie suddenly appeared, repeating what he had said: "I thought I would see an empty platform and a huge ball of light. ”
Guo Bo immediately laughed.
"I accept this request." The ball continued, "Unfortunately, given the layout of the room and the overall visual appeal, I can only appear at this size. ”
"Uh......" He Xie finally reacted, "You are the main god?" ”
"Yes, as you call it."
He Xie was stunned for a few more seconds, and then raised his hand stupidly. "Hello."
"I suggest we skip the meaningless politeness and get straight to the point." The Lord God said, without waiting for the others to agree, began: "You should not be chosen. ”
"You mean," He Xie pointed to himself, overjoyed, "I shouldn't have been chosen?" ”
"It's not you, it's them."
"Oh." He Xie stepped aside dejectedly and handed over the conversation to the others.
The first to speak was Guo Bo. He snorted disapprietously. "Whatever you say, we're here now."
"Yes, it was a mistake." The Lord God recognized.
"How can the Lord God make a mistake? That's pretty strange. ”
"It's harder to admit to making mistakes than not to make mistakes."
Guo Bo heard the Lord God subtly praise himself, and immediately felt that this was an annoying opponent. He decided not to waste words with it. "So, you're here to fix this bug? How to do it, let's leave? ”
"There's only one way to get out of here, you already know it."
"Can't make an exception?"
"I can't." The Lord God continued to deny, "I will not break the rules for anyone, once there is a first time, there will be a second time, and in the end it will only lead to the rules being changed." ”
A principled God. Guo Bo was even more upset.
"Remember," he stressed, "we're here because of your mistakes." ”
"Yes," said the Lord God affirmed, "I remember it well, please do not doubt my memory. ”
Guo Bo felt that his words contained other meanings, and they were probably warnings—warnings to Mo Fei. It still seems to be haunted by the Skull Island affair.
It seems to be more like a human being than a god.
He took it more seriously. "What the hell do you want to do?"
"I tried to do something about it, but it didn't work out. So I decided not to do anything again. The answer of the Lord God was unexpected—it was always unexpected, "I will not help you, nor will I do anything to weaken you, interfere with your actions, or impose mandatory tasks on you." ”
Qin Lang joined the conversation. "Sounds like you're going to let it go."
"Yes, you are free to choose your actions in the story world."
Qin Lang thought for a moment. "But what's in it for you?"
"I can treat you as if you don't exist."
This answer immediately made everyone present look at each other - except for Mo Fei. A presiding god who bravely admits that he has made a mistake, but the solution is to bury his head in the sand like an ostrich and treat it as if it didn't exist?
Guo Bo and Qin Lang would rather believe that there was something wrong with their ears.
"Are you kidding?"
"Nope."
"I can't understand ......"
"You don't need to understand." After a pause, the Lord God continued, "In exchange, though, none of you can be the leader of this team. ”
"So who can be the leader?"
"He Xie," the Lord God announced, "I have already decided, and he will be the leader. ”
"Me?" Different from the imagination of ordinary people, He Xie did not become happy, but squeezed out a bitter gourd face, "I don't think I can be the team leader-"
"I am the Lord God, there is no point in opposing it, and I am ready to accept the captain's permission." The Lord God showed its unreasonable side, and waited a few more seconds, as if to confirm that He Xie had been granted clearance, and it issued a warning to everyone: "Remember, this conversation did not happen, and I never showed up here. ”
And then it was gone.
The room fell silent, and it took a long time for Guo Bo to break the silence. "It's so weird. There must be something wrong with this main god. ”
Qin Lang agreed. "Obviously, it's covering up the mistake and going to something higher than it."
"It could really be a gourd-shaped ball of light." In the end, it was the end of the brief discussion.
