Chapter 50: Insight
ββ¦β¦ The attack on 'Heisenberg' was undoubtedly a feat of General Pierre in his early years, and he bravely exposed the fact that the League forcibly used children for TF yΓ n and rescued them, but the shameless League actually enshrined Yang Song-taek, the security captain who aided the abuse, as a hero, such a form of government and the propaganda policy that fooled the people for many years have completely rotted the foundation of the League......"

"I know it's dangerous, so I don't want any of you to come with me." Ling Yu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and didn't look at the girl standing beside him, "If you die, it's enough for me to be alone." β
"And then you're dead, and Char is still alive, and you think that's the most meaningful way to get revenge?" Jeunse Meinuo turned around, leaned her back against the railing, and looked at Ling Yu who was gritting her teeth, "Although I did notice something, I really didn't expect my boss's emotional intelligence to be so low. β
"What do you mean?" Ling Yu turned his head and looked at Jiesi who had something to say.
"If I were Char's enemy, and I wouldn't be able to kill him." Jesse looked up at the dark sky covered in dark clouds, "Guess what I'm going to do?" β
"Don't sue me for forgetting this qiΔ." Ling Yu lowered his head, his tone trembling a little, "I won't accept it." β
"So boss, you have low emotional intelligence," Jess laughed sneeringly, "There is only one thing I have to do before I can kill him, and that is to make him unhappy." β
"Because for such a person, the most painful thing is not death at all," Jiesi looked at Ling Yu's puzzled eyes, "Think about General Yang Chengze, I don't want to be rude, but do you think he is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death?" β
"Not ......" Ling Yu sensed something and shook his head gently.
"Because for them, life is nothing, and the purpose, or rather, the dream, is, the Father...... Ahem, Speaker Rasmussen's dream is to protect and guide mankind, General Yang Song-taek's dream is to eliminate the ACA and end the war, and the dream of the founder of the ACA, the 'Society of Seven', is to let mankind enjoy the glory of prehistoric civilization...... Even you, for revenge, you don't care about your own life, and if necessary, you can sacrifice yourself for your dreams at any time, right? β
"Yes...... Ling Yu nodded lightly and pondered slightly, "So...... Am I going to ruin his dreams? β
"Maybe I can't do it in one step," Jiesi stretched out her hand and patted Ling Yu's shoulder, which was full of flying snow, "But, if it were me, I would do my best to sabotage any plan he wants to achieve, no matter how small or meaningless, as long as it is what he wants to accomplish and obtain, I will destroy it - didn't you say that destruction is what TF does." β
"It's not like a knight would say." Finally, Ling Yu also laughed.
"I'm a heretic." Jesse blinked her right eye and stuck out her tongue, "And now that I've been stripped of my knight's badge, I'm not sure I'll be a black knight next time." β
"I don't want to say I'm sorry," Ling Yu sighed as he remembered the afternoon's events, "But, thank you." β
"That's my own business, boss, you don't have to think too much." Jesse shrugged, gave a nonchalant expression, and pointed to her chest. "It's my own choice, faith never rests on a little badge, it's here."
"Hmm...... "Actually, you care a lot, Ling Yu didn't say this, just nodded.
"Speaking of which, although you are not Char's opponent yet," Jiesi glanced at the back of Ling Yu's left hand, "However, you can become stronger, make yourself stronger, before today, did you think about stunting the twelve knights with one shot?" β
"No ......" Ling Yu shook his head, raised his left hand, took off his gloves, and looked at the lines that had turned blue again, "I...... Got stronger? β
"It's going to get stronger." Jess stretched out her hand and held Ling Yu's left hand, in the cold wind and snow, Ling Yu could feel the temperature of Jessy's palm through her gloves, "Moreover, you need someone with the same goal as you to help you, there are more people who don't like Char, why don't we stop his plan together?" Anyway, we all know that he won't do anything good that is conducive to the harmonious development of mankind, so as long as it's his purpose, wouldn't we destroy it? β
"Hmm......" Ling Yu nodded lightly, "Thank you." β
"Live, let those who you don't share with the sky understand what a nightmare it is for them to live for you, and sacrificing your life lightly will only make them feel ridiculous," Jiesi clenched her fingers and clasped Ling Yu's fingers tightly, "So, don't say anything that can be sacrificed for this matter, in addition to life, what needs to be kept should be justice." β
"Justice?" Ling Yu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, I have nothing to do with this thing." β
"Those who fight against demons should always be vigilant so that they do not become demons themselves. If you look at the abyss for a long time, the abyss is watching you at the same time. Jeunse didn't answer directly, but quoted a sentence.
"Nietzsche, "The Other Side of Good and Evil." Ling Yu naturally knew the source, but he still shook his head gently, "Actually, maybe I would have become a demon a long time ago. β
"It's not," Jess looked at Ling Yu and grinned with a very happy smile, "If one day you do become a demon, I will fix you ruthlessly, my dear boss." β
"Please don't slap your face." Ling Yu raised his right hand and patted Jiesi on the shoulder, but obviously had no intention of continuing on this topic, he looked at the empty street and took a breath, "Speaking of which, why are you here in the middle of the night?" β
"Take a walk after dinner."
ββ¦β¦ Is serious nonsense your gift? β
"Really, look at my sincere eyes."
β¦β¦
"Tsk, Jiesi's eloquence, it's a waste not to engage in pyramid schemes."
Around the corner, Logan took off half of his headphones and handed them to Linya sitting on the other half of the bench, "I don't have the heart to listen to those two guys lingering, it's garbage time for me." β
"I really don't understand where this second-year young man is good." Linya frowned and pursed her lips, "Why does my little angel Jeuness care so much about him." β
"This is the power of love, don't you understand?" Logan smacked his lips, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Yang Zecheng that was fine, "Have you ever been in love?" β
"Bang-"
Linya responded to Logan's question simply and rudely with her fist, but also gave a negative answer to Logan's question from another level.
"Hey, it's not a shame to not be in love." Logan rubbed his face and got up from behind the bench, "Young people don't be so grumpy, they won't be able to get married." β
"It doesn't matter," Linya also ended eavesdropping, taking off the headphones and putting them away, "Anyway, I have my little angel of Jeunse." β
ββ¦β¦ You won't think that way when she's married. Logan shrugged and turned to leave Linya with a back, "I'm going back to eat, I hope Lao Yang will leave me a spicy fragrant pot." β
"Are you married...... Linya looked at Logan's back, but unconsciously frowned, the flaxen-haired girl's face, which was always full of lively smiles, rarely showed a definite sadness.
She clasped her fingers together and placed them on her chest, as if praying on a snowy night in ReykjavΓk.

48 hours later, an unknown area of the Antarctic Ocean, 3,200 meters underwater.
A huge submarine hovers silently at depths that almost no human submarine can reach, and the size of this submarine is far beyond human comprehension - the hull of more than two kilometers in length and nearly two hundred meters in diameter is itself an almost complete barrel of prehistoric civilizations, and only prehistoric civilizations that can freely navigate the stars can make enough to withstand the pressure of five thousand meters underwater - of course, most of the time, it is already sitting at the bottom before reaching its maximum depth.
This terrifying undersea monster is the headquarters of the ACA, the anti-cartel monopoly society, and the super-submersible aircraft carrier "Neptune", where the capital is located.
The militaristic ACA command structure follows the simplicity and efficiency of the military apparatus rather than the elaborate alliances, and not all of them are in this terrifying giant submarine, only the basic administrative and military organs can board the submarine.
"You might have to break the bank again this time, Marshall."
The mechanical hatch quickly closed to the left, and Marshall, still wearing his black military coat, walked into the room and looked at the man behind the desk who was lying in front of the display case with a small brush.
"Let's sit down first."
The purple-eyed man, about thirty years old, turned his head, smiled at Marshall, and continued to concentrate on the clean-up that was a 1:16 centurion tank in a cupboard.
Rather, the entire cabinet is filled with a variety of elaborate models.
"You're messing up again, Char?"
Marshall didn't have much restraint, walked to the sofa, sat on the sofa, took out an apple from the fruit bowl on the table, and took a bite gently, "This apple is good, it seems that the last time it was not in Antarctica." β
"It's Chile, it's summer, and there's a lot of fresh fruit," Char blew softly into the tank, "and to get back to business, I'm really in a bit of trouble this time." β
"Say it." Marshall bit the apple, grabbed a newspaper next to him, flipped through it, and his eyes were full of Evolution Daily's unnutritious praise of the ACA, "These junk newspapers are shaping us more and more villains." β
"I told the old man that journalism is an art," Char shook the brush, straightened it and hung it aside, closing the cabinet door. β
"Forget it, anyway, this world speaks by strength." Marshall, who crumpled the newspaper, threw the apple core into the trash can next to him, "What's wrong?" β
"That pesky chief knight's hand is stretched too long, I need a black op." Char took two steps back, admiring a cabinet of handmade zuΓ² masterpieces, and nodded with satisfaction.
"At a time like this?" Marshall frowned, stretched out his hand and rummaged through the fruit bowl in front of him, not finding another apple, "Will it be extraordinary." β
"It's already a big deal," Char said, turning his head, taking an apple from another fruit bowl on his desk, and tossing it to Marshall, "I couldn't keep her in Iceland as planned, she's already leaving in the morning and is expected to go to Milan." β
"Wasn't that our earliest plan?" Marshall raised his hand to catch the apple that Charr had thrown over, "Anyone who knows will be led to Milan to catch it, this is the safety bolt, we have prepared a plan since the accident in South Africa." β
"But not including a chief knight," Char shook his head, "The 'manager' failed, he succeeded in influencing Marven's opinion, but the chief knight and Yang Chengze intervened, and they were about to go to Milan." β
"What's worse is that this knight is a 'sword'." Char turned, walked over to the desk, sat back on it, and made additions.
"Linya Petterson went too?" Marshall was slightly stunned when he bit the apple, "That's true, the current bureau is not tight enough." β
"Anyone?" Char tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop.
"Helis and her team are fine," Marshall said no, tossing the second apple core into the trash, then waving at Char, who was holding an apple and preparing to throw it over, "According to you, she has no idea about 'that plan,' and she seems to have left a back door in the eyes of that knight princess, so she is a good fit." β
"Capable man," Char snapped his fingers, his assessment simple and easy to understand, "It's a pity that we can't fully trust this 'digital princess', otherwise many things would be much easier." β
"She's not an out-and-out ACA soldier after all, her origins are a secret between us," Marshall frowned, "and that unwavering face I don't really like, and people who never express their opinions are dangerous and have no trace." β
"Then you still recruit her as a daughter-in-law?" Char laughed, "But it's true that someone who has no desires is dangerous, because you don't have anything to blackmail her." β
"That's just part of the woo, and it doesn't really work, and Grant doesn't seem to like her very much." Marshall scratched his head and smiled wryly, "I don't count on it for a long time, who knows if she has human emotions or not." β
"It's not easy to get rid of her, though, and in my opinion, she's more of a ticking time bomb," Char reminded again, kindly reminding, "If necessary, you may have to do it yourself." β
"It's okay to clean her up, I'm just thinking about how I can get the most out of the tool." Marshall smiled coldly.
Char raised his eyebrows, and seeing that Marshall was so confident, he didn't say anything more, "Anyway, this plan is fine." β
"No problem, I'll arrange a black ops for you." Marshall made an OK gesture, "There seems to be movement on the old man's side, I've been away, you should pay attention." β
"Okay." Char nodded, then closed his eyes, thoughtful.
