Near the military warehouse in the South District, in the hotel where Diaz and the others lived for more than half a month.
Diaz and Nord fired all their bullets and had no way to fight against the Intelligence Bureau, which was far more numerous than them.
Seeing that the people from the Intelligence Bureau in the stairwell made several more rounds of tests, and after basically confirming that the two men had no bullets, they began to push forward steadily. When they were about to come up in less than ten seconds, Nord became anxious: "We can either jump off the building.
Bar."
"Why?" Diaz, who was taking off his coat, was stunned.
"If you are caught by them, you will definitely be tortured." Nord was deeply impressed by the horrific wounds on Verak's body. "I definitely can't stand it, but I don't want to betray Verak. If the Equality Society is equal, it would be better to die now."
Let it go."
"You're not even afraid of death, why are you afraid of this?" Diaz took off his obstructive coat and rolled up his sleeves, "We should continue fighting even if we don't have guns. This is to tell them that what we really rely on is not the weapons in our hands, but
The inner weapon. Even if it’s not for this, it’s still worth the extra effort to die.”
Nord was slightly moved, and he gave up his plan to muster up the courage to jump off the building: "...Then let's fight."
"Follow me, be careful." Diaz has superb fighting skills. When he saw people from the Intelligence Bureau rushing forward, he was the first to greet them.
——
Charles, Murphy, the heads of the Intelligence Department of the Equality Society, and other members pretended not to know each other and entered the building opposite the hotel one after another.
"Which floor?" Charles asked.
"Seventh floor." Murphy recalled the floor where the intelligence agency monitoring them was located.
"You guys hold the door, you go up the elevator and meet on the seventh floor later." After Charles entered, he spent a few seconds allocating the people, "Murphy, follow me from the stairs."
When Rock Shriver led people from the Intelligence Bureau into the place to monitor Diaz, he deliberately pretended to be a tourist coming to Lazerin in order not to alert him. Therefore, except for the room, no manpower was deployed anywhere else. This gave Charlie
This is an opportunity for them to use offense as defense and reverse the situation.
After a group of more than 20 people climbed to the seventh floor, according to Murphy's impression, they came to the door of a room.
Charles showed his dagger and looked around at the crowd. Everyone understood and held their daggers in front of them. This scene frightened the residents on the same floor who happened to be in the corridor, and they heard a scream, forcing Charles to have to
He immediately kicked the door open and led people into the room where Rock Shriver was.
"Whoosh!"
Charles also had rich combat experience. He went in first and quickly threw a short knife at a member of the Intelligence Bureau. After knocking him to the ground, he lunged at Rock Shriver and said, "Kill the others!"
"Yes!" Members of the Equality Association took knives and pounced on the Intelligence Bureau members who had no time to parry.
Murphy also relied on his excellent fighting skills to knock down an Intelligence Bureau member who raised his gun and tried to resist.
In less than half a minute, Charles, Murphy and others eliminated five members of the Intelligence Bureau and subdued Rock Shriver, who was in a daze throughout.
"Why are there so few people?" Charles thought that a fierce fight was inevitable. Unexpectedly, five or six people were dealt with directly by them one by one. "Martin, take people out to control the disturbed residents. Don't let them go."
They called and sent the message to spread the word."
"Yes!" A young man named Martin called six or seven people and him out of the room to maintain order on the seventh floor.
"Equality will happen?" Rock Shriver, who was tied up and sitting on the sofa, asked with a gloomy face.
"Yes, I work in intelligence like you." Charles closed the door and sat across from Rock Shriver, looking at the gramophone, wine, desserts, and fruits on the table. "It's just that I'm not as moist as you.
Surveillance work and food and drink.”
Rock Shriver's expression was ugly. He never thought that one day he would be captured by the Equality Society, and he never thought that the Equality Society people would be so bold as to dare to attack him when he set up heavy troops in the surrounding blocks.
Killed over: "The Equality Association still has an intelligence department?"
"Isn't it possible?" Charles likes the people in the government to treat them with such contempt, so that they can take advantage of them by surprise. "Okay, there will be plenty of opportunities to talk about these in the future. Now let's talk about the key points. There are thousands of people in the nearby blocks.
Are the government troops following your orders?"
"Of course." Locke Shriver was very tough, without any timidity on his face, "So I'm curious why you dare to come here and seek death. Are there really people in this world who hate longevity? It seems that there is a little bit, and it's just right.
Gathered together in your Equality Association."
"You can't protect yourself now, so there's no need to speak to me in such a threatening tone." Charles pulled the phone next to him a little closer, "Inform them immediately to assemble in the North District."
"Do you think I might agree to you?" Rock Shriver sneered, "They are my only support. If I don't do what you say, you won't dare to touch me. But if I say it, the result will be completely different.
"
"Bang!"
Before Rock Shriver could be proud for two seconds, Charles punched him in the face.
Rock Shriver, who had never suffered the slightest pain on his body and always hit others by himself, was almost knocked unconscious by this punch: "Uh... hiss..."
"If you don't tell me, I will kill you now, and then evacuate here before they completely block the streets." Charles looked at Rock Shriver calmly.
"Don't you dare kill me!" Rock Shriver regained his composure and said angrily, covering half of his swollen face.
"Comrade Charles!" Murphy, who ran to the window early in the morning to take a telescope to look at the hotel opposite, shouted, "I saw it! Both my brother and Nord were caught by the intelligence agency!"
"Are they in danger?!" Charles strode over, picked up a telescope on the ground, and looked at the hotel opposite.
Murphy said happily: "Probably not! The people from the Intelligence Agency just caught them and didn't hurt them!"
"It seems that Locke Shriver wants to capture them alive." Charles, who had not seen the situation clearly but was relieved, put down his binoculars and turned to look at Locke Shriver, who was surrounded by members of the Equality Society and was very angry. "If nothing else, they won't be able to capture them alive."
How long will it take for him to come back? We have to set up an ambush before then and save Diaz and Nord in one fell swoop."
"Where is your real target? Isn't it the Mona Pavilion?" The blood of his men's corpses flowed over, and Rock Shriver moved away with a look of disgust on his face.
Charles was not sloppy in his work. He stepped forward and pulled out his short knife from a corpse without making Rock Shriver surrender with one punch: "You guessed it right."
"Your real target is a military warehouse somewhere else?" Rock Shriver guessed again.
"I'll give you ten seconds to make a call and transfer nearby government troops to the North District." Charles sat back down opposite Rock Shriver.
"Why the North District?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's east, west, north or south. In short, just move these people out of the city." Charles said.
It seems that Charles really doesn't care, but he actually chose the North District for a reason. The Equality Society has now moved to the North District as a whole to take refuge. He is now deliberately sending the government troops there, which will make it appear that the Equality Society does not care about the North District.
, this will help reduce the suspicion of the North District when the government searches later.
"Then what's in it for me?" Rock Shriver deliberately delayed.
"You have four seconds."
"Okay, I'll call." Rock Shriver picked up the phone, "Aren't you afraid that I will leak out your situation here? In that case, you will definitely die."
Charles looked at Rock Shriver's confident face and asked, "Do you think you are someone who will sacrifice yourself for the government?"
Rock Shriver's expression froze.
He will not sacrifice himself for the government. Even if he has made a meritorious service, he will not be able to enjoy the benefits if he dies. Instead of making wedding clothes for others, it is better to live by himself.
"Fight." Charles urged.
Rock Shriver dialed the phone, stared at Charles, and did not hide his murderous intention. He gritted his teeth and said, "I am Rock Shriver."
Although Charles said he knew who Rock Shriver was, in order to avoid emergencies, he still clenched his knife tightly and waited for an immediate response in the event of an emergency.
"The order from above is for you to rush to the Mona Pavilion immediately to protect the delegations of various countries." Based on the current situation, Locke Shriver found a reason to transfer his government troops to the North District, "There is no need to blockade here, it is not necessary.
, hurry up and pass..."
After listening to Rock Shriver give all the instructions, Charles made a "hang up" gesture.
"Crack."
Rock Shriver hung up the phone: "Is that okay?"
This scene made all the Equality members present feel particularly emotional.
Most of them have heard of Rock Shriver, they know that he almost destroyed the Equality Society, and they know that almost all the people who fall into his hands will be killed after his interrogation.
But who could have expected that when they caught Rock Shriver and threatened him, he would compromise so easily in the face of death.
How many minutes had it been? There was not even torture. It was just Charles who punched him.
"Go and keep an eye on the movements of the government troops. If they don't go to the North District, report to me immediately." Charles first arranged a task for his men, and then asked two people to take off Rock Shriver's clothes without explanation.
"Omar, put on his clothes, stand at the window with a telescope." Charles singled out a subordinate who was similar in stature to Rock Shriver and ordered him to disguise himself as Rock Shriver and stand at the window, leaving only his back.
"You -" After Rock Shriver finished the phone call, Charles didn't look at him. While Omar was changing clothes, others tied Rock Shriver tighter and wrapped a cloth around his mouth.
Just threw it directly into the bathroom.
Murphy was at the window watching what was going on below: "They escorted my brother and Nord out of the hotel!"
"How many people?"
"Seven!"
"You throw all these corpses into the bathroom and simply clean the floor." Murphy arranged an ambush at the critical moment. "You guys, hide here, here, and here. When they come in, you will follow me as soon as I take action.
Above. Remember, do not shoot to alert other people until there is no absolute danger."
"yes!"
In just one minute, Charles organized everyone to restore the room to its original state, and took Murphy and others to hide around the room, waiting for the intelligence agency personnel who returned from the ambush.
Half a minute later, Hawkins, the second-in-command of the Government Intelligence Agency, was in a bad mood and led six of his subordinates who were all injured when arresting Diaz. He escorted Diaz and Nord returned to the room.
"Director, we've been arrested." Hawkins didn't notice anything wrong with the man standing in front of the window for a while, nor did he have any suspicion that Rock Shriver was the only one left in the room. Because the plan to annihilate the Equality Society was shattered, he felt like
He said desperately, "Bring people in."
"Don't push me!" Nord's hands were tied behind his back, and he entered the room and knocked away the intelligence agency members who were escorting him, glaring fiercely at the person at the window.
"Director?" Hawkins noticed something was wrong.
He sniffed sharply and felt the smell of blood in the air, as well as the strange silence.
"No--" Hawkins' eyes widened. Instead of reaching for the gun to prepare for a fight, Hawkins turned around and fled.
"Charge!" Charles led people to rush out from all corners of the room, slashing down the injured members of the Intelligence Bureau with daggers one after another before they could see clearly.
"Uh-huh!"
"ah!"
"Hiss!"
Screams rang out one after another, and the six members of the Intelligence Bureau were killed. Hawkins, who was the fastest to escape, only ran to the corridor. Before he could get downstairs, he was slashed in the neck by a comrade from the Equality Society who was ambushing him at the top of the stairs.
"this……"
Nord and Diaz were stunned.
They were all ready to sacrifice, so why did Charles suddenly rush out and kill everyone in the Intelligence Bureau?!
"Brother!" Murphy stepped forward to untie the two of them, "Are you okay?!"
"It's okay, what's going on?" Diaz received many punches and kicks, but he did not show his weakness in front of his younger brother.
"Thank you for your hard work." After checking to confirm that everyone in the Intelligence Bureau was dead, Charles stepped forward to shake hands with Diaz and Nord.
Nord held his hands with him, and the feeling of escaping death made him burst into tears: "You are finally here, I thought we were going to..."
"Isn't this a place for the Intelligence Bureau? How did you..." Diaz wanted to ask about business.
"When we were rushing here, we happened to bump into Murphy who had escaped. Murphy said that you were in crisis and must be rescued immediately. After learning that the Intelligence Bureau was opposite your building, we decided to take a risk.
We wanted to take advantage of the opponent's weak rear and cut off their retreat. We succeeded. Not only did we capture Intelligence Director Locke Shriver, we also threatened him to transfer nearby government troops away," said Charles.
"In turn, he took down the Intelligence Bureau. This is a great move..." Diaz couldn't help but admire.
"Fortunately, they wanted to capture you alive and didn't hurt you in the hotel, otherwise today's mission would have been a big regret." Seeing that the two of them were safe and sound, Charles felt a light weight on his shoulders.
His main task was to rescue the three people who bravely stayed here to act as bait. If he had not been rescued, he would not have the face to meet Morais and Verak.
"Where's Rock Shriver?" Nord asked.
"In the bathroom." Charles went into the bathroom and pulled Rock Shriver out of the pile of dead people.
"Ugh..." The strong smell of blood in the small bathroom made Locke Shriver feel nauseous.
"...Is this Rock Shriver?" Nord asked hesitantly.
He had never met Rock Shriver. Like most people, he had only heard of his "famous reputation" and subconsciously believed that he must be a tough opponent.
But the man in front of him was so vomited that he was dragged to the living room by his clothes like a chicken. He didn't look like a director of the Intelligence Bureau at all.
"Yeah." Charles nodded.
"Hey, did you catch a man named Ross?" Nord remembered Ross, whom Verak was worried about, "What did you do to him?"
Rock Shriver breathed in the relatively fresh air in the living room: "Huh...huh..."
"I'm asking you something." Charles played with the dagger again.
"In the interrogation room." Rock Shriver replied immediately.
He is very self-aware and knows very well that he can withstand one punch, but he cannot withstand four or five punches, let alone other means. So instead of talking about it after being beaten, it is better to say it now, so that at least he can maintain some dignity.
.
"Are you still alive?" Nord knelt down and asked.
"Alive." Rock Shriver was a little impatient.
"That's okay, Verak will definitely rescue him." Nord was relieved.
Hearing these words, Rock Shriver's pupils shrank: "The government building you are really going to attack?!"
"I, I..." Nord looked at Charles in horror, "He doesn't know about this yet? Then I, this..."
"It's okay." Charles shook his head slightly, "Anyway, we are going to take him away. If he knows, he will know."
"What a bunch of lunatics!" Locke Shriver said with emotion, "Who gave you the courage to attack the government building?! Don't you know how many guards there are in the city and how many government troops are outside the city?! You will die without a doubt! You will die without a doubt!
"
"Gag his mouth again."
"yes."
Charles came to the window and checked what was going on outside. Unfortunately, there were no government troops on the street in front of him. Now he was just waiting for news from his men. If the nearby government troops really listened to Locke Shriver and left, then
They can then evacuate quickly.
About ten minutes later, a person came back: "Minister, the government troops have lifted the blockade of nearby neighborhoods and are heading towards the North District!"
"Get ready, we have to leave too." Charles faced everyone.
"Where are we going? To the main station?" Nord asked again.
Charles glanced at Rock Shriver, who was speechless and still in shock: "Our main station has been moved to the North District, so we will go directly to the North District later."
Rock Shriver's eyes widened again.
He just transferred government troops to the Northern District.
Are all members of the Equality Society so bold?
"When did this happen..."
"There are a lot of various things. Okay, let's talk as we walk." After the government troops left, Charles didn't hesitate and began to organize the members of the intelligence department to evacuate this place of right and wrong in an orderly manner.
——
in front of government building
Verak carried Ross on his back and waited with Teacher Keating until Morais and Boyin came down from the stairs. He didn't care to say anything to Boyin who had a lot to talk about. He just looked at each other and then withdrew from the Intelligence Bureau together.
, was led by Barnett to pick him up.
"Tell them to retreat!" Morais shouted to Barnett.
Barnett still wanted to say a few words to Boyne, but the battle situation was important, so he rushed to Andrew Menno's front in person.
"Thank you. His injury is serious. You must take good care of him." Verak put Rose on a stretcher and was carried away by specialized rescue personnel.
"Verak." Ross was carried out and finally confirmed that this was not an illusion and that he had really been rescued.
"Recuperate well, see you later." Verak watched Rose being taken away.
Morais glanced at the time on his watch. They had exceeded the time limit a lot, and now the evacuation time is only half of the worst-case scenario: "Everyone! Time is running out! According to the original plan, the team leader is responsible for his own people!
Evacuate in an orderly manner! Meet at the terminal later!"
"Yes!" Except for the wounded who were taken away one after another in the middle of the battle, the other people who had just escaped from the battle were divided into small groups and retreated in all directions of the street, like water droplets blending into the sea, and they could not be found in the blink of an eye.
Already.
"Let's go too." Morais took Boyin, Verak, Keating, and Rabin away to the other side.
——
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
"Bang!"
The attacks by the Equality Society outside the gate became more and more sporadic.
"Captain! The people from the Equality Association have withdrawn!" The guard fighting at the front reported the battle situation to Maguire.
Maguire was not blind. He also saw the members of the Equality Society evacuating the battlefield. The reason why he watched helplessly without making any statement was because he was thinking about what to do next.
Is it more beneficial to pursue it, or is it more beneficial not to pursue it?
If you pursue it, if everything goes well, you will make a great contribution. But what if this is still a cover for the Equality Society?
He remembered that there were thousands of people in the Equality Association, and there were only about a thousand people here. Where were the other two thousand or so people? Where were they?
If this is a ploy by the other party to deliberately induce him to leave, not only will he not be able to make any meritorious deeds, but he will not even be able to keep his current position.
Moreover, the 800 people under his command have no problem holding on through the natural defenses of the government building. Once they go out and lose their bunkers and artillery cover, it will not be easy to kill thousands of people. When the time comes,
Maybe half of the hard work will be given to other patrol guards and government troops at a discount.
Finally, as the captain of the guard of the government building, his duty is to guard this place. Even if he doesn't go out, no one can say anything.
After weighing it up, he made a decision in his mind.
"Captain! Do we want to pursue the victory?" the subordinate asked.
"No." Maguire rejected his subordinate's proposal. "Our duty is to protect the government buildings, the President and the cabinet ministers. We can just leave the matter of suppressing the Equality Association to the government troops."
"But they fled in a hurry, I think this is an opportunity." The subordinate was unwilling to watch the group of people make a mess of the government building, and then they could escape smoothly.
Maguire glanced at the subordinate with disdain. He didn't want to take unnecessary risks and just stayed in this position: "If this is an ambush by the other party, we will suffer heavy losses when we go out and lose the ability to protect the government building.
Can you take the responsibility?"
The subordinate stopped talking.
"As long as you do your job well, nothing will go wrong." Maguire stopped paying attention to the battle situation and turned upstairs to comfort the staff in the building. "Extra work is a hot potato. There is no need.
I'm on my way to pick him up."
——
At 10:50, government troops arrived belatedly and took over the defense of the government building that Maguire was responsible for.
The president and others returned to the government building, reestablished contact with other places, and began to take charge of the overall situation.
After learning that Rock Shriver had lost contact, the government troops assigned to him were inexplicably transferred to the North District at a critical moment; the Equality Society broke into the government building and rescued Boyne and others; a gun battle broke out near the Mona Pavilion; several incidents occurred in various places
Ten explosions that caused no casualties but had a huge impact; President Louis Francois was so angry that he overturned his desk after hearing the news that the entire Leize was in chaos.
eleven o'clock sharp
Louis Francois, President of the Brescy Republic, announced that the closing ceremony of the World Exposition originally scheduled for January 5 has been cancelled. General Pisser will be assigned to protect the safety of participating delegations from various countries and escort them out of Lezein on the same day.
At the same time, Laize entered a state of martial law, and many government troops moved in.
At half past eleven, major newspapers in various countries learned that the government of Bressie Lezein had been attacked by a planned attack, and "Equality (Excerpt)", "Women's Manifesto", "Equality" and "Women's Manifesto" were widely circulated on the streets.
"Internationale" and other content, it is confirmed that the Equality Society is the planner and operator of the attack.
What is Equality?
What are "Equality", "Women's Manifesto" and "The Internationale"?
The major newspapers were frantically collecting this information, publishing it on their headlines, and combining it with exaggerated words such as "The Bressi government's rule is crumbling" to attract attention.
The torch has been raised.
It is only a matter of time before it is seen by those with lofty ideals trapped in darkness around the world.
It is only a matter of time before all those who have lofty ideals and are willing to sacrifice their lives to open up a new world will move closer to the light.
——
that night
"Eighty-one people were seriously injured, 144 people were slightly injured, 62 people were killed, and 42 people have not returned and should still be on the way to evacuate..."
In the factory, the director of the logistics department, Orak, reported the statistical situation.
Morais, Boyne and other cadres listened seriously.
"Every major newspaper has published our story. After advance publicity in the city, and our actions have not harmed innocent people, everything is still within the scope of our estimates..." Piaf explained the public opinion war.
situation.
"The three comrades responsible for attracting the government's attention at the military warehouse in the South District have been successfully rescued. In addition, we also captured the Director of the Intelligence Bureau, Locke Shriver..."
"After Chloe and the others were lured out, they were pursued by government troops. Most of the people fled at that time. Only Chloe chose to stay and cooperate with the government, but General Pisser in the government army ignored him.
Shot him dead, and more than a hundred comrades..."
"Everything we are responsible for goes well..."
"us……"
…
After spending more than half an hour listening to all aspects of the situation, Morais looked at Boyin: "President."
Boyin, who has not yet recovered from the grief of Daniel's death, pursed his lips for a long time after hearing the number of comrades who died in this battle: "This is actually something that is destined to involve sacrifices and must be done. In my heart
We have mourned the sacrifices of our comrades countless times, but it is not as meaningful as us completing our cause and proving that their sacrifices were valuable."
In the factory cafeteria, all the cadres of the Equality Association were gathered.
This victory was considered a complete victory for them, but the price of victory was also heavy.
Three hundred casualties.
This made them happy, but also felt extremely heavy.
"I just heard Morais explain the whole story about Chloe." In the solemn cafeteria, Boyin's low and hoarse voice echoed in everyone's ears, "This is my problem. I was too far away at that time.
I was in a hurry and didn't consider the hidden danger of Chloe's true thoughts, which brought a lot of trouble to everyone and almost caused the Equality Association's two years of efforts to be wasted..."
"Needless to say, you did a great job." Morais said, "Without you acting as a hostage and buying us a few precious months of development, we would not have been able to organize such a battle.
"
Boyn sighed: "I don't know whether I should be happy or sad about this battle... In short... I hope everyone will always remember those comrades who sacrificed to change the world and make the world a better place. I miss them.
Like me, there is no point in being afraid of death and panicking about your own sacrifice. Our battle will be more difficult in the future. This battle just started a tug-of-war between us and the government. We must work harder to fight for our ideals.
Go down and prevent their sacrifices from being in vain..."
Boyin spoke for a long time, and everyone gave him warm applause.
Some people applauded their dear friends who sacrificed their lives, so they worked hard.
"The government's search will be unprecedented, and our follow-up actions need to be formulated as soon as possible. Let's have a good night's rest. Tomorrow will be another day full of challenges." Morais organized the meeting to end, "dismissal."
"Verak."
When Verak and Keating were about to get up and leave, Boyin stopped him.
Verak knew that Boyin would call him sooner or later, and the two of them should have a good talk. He said goodbye to Keating and came to Boyin: "Boin, long time no see."
Boyin's eyes flashed, and he looked at Verak with surprise and surprise: "You are really infected by the Equality Society."
"...Yes." Verak said.
"I heard from Morais that it was you who came up with the plan to abandon the attack on the World Exposition and attack the government building, and you also provided important influence in many aspects." Boyne asked.
"……yes."
"You don't seem to be who you were before." Boyin was too curious about Verak, "Sit down, I really want to know what you have been through in the past few months."
Verak had told it countless times. He didn't want to say it again, but the person who asked was Boyin, so he said it again carefully: "...That's it."
"It's like a story." Boyin commented, "I'm different from you. I've been under house arrest for the past few months and can't do anything. I can only talk to Daniel - when you were pretending to be Chris, when you
The young man who was the driver looked out the window together and imagined what was happening outside."
"I heard that he... this morning..."
"He died." Boyin did not avoid this matter.
"If we had attacked earlier..."
"Actually, everyone has tried their best, right? So I don't want to hear any 'what if' or 'what if'. There are no ifs in reality. It's good that each of us has tried our best." Boyin was not tormented by these possibilities.
Verak was silent for a few seconds: "You are right."
"I really didn't expect you to escape from prison and do so many things. You seem to be born to do this, and you have helped the Equality Society a lot intentionally or unintentionally - this name was decided upon when you pretended to be Chris.
.In a sense, you did a better job than Chris. Of course, no one can cover up the glory of the other. I mean, I am very happy to see you become what you are today and join the Equality Society.
"
"Actually." Verak listened quietly to Boyin's new evaluation of him. It was not much different from what he expected, so he was quite calm. "I have always wanted to see you and have a good chat with you.
"
"What to talk about?"
"I don't know, I just feel that you are the person who has watched my transformation with my own eyes, and you are also the person I admire greatly. I really want to get your recognition, and I really want to communicate the concept of equality with my truest identity.
I also want to learn more about the other side of Chris from you... To put it simply, when I was still pretending to be Chris, I had a lot of things I wanted to ask you, but because of my identity at the time I couldn't tell you, I have been holding back until now.
"
Boyin said nothing.
After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, they both smiled in unison.
"You are simply another Chris, but you are not." Boyin sighed with emotion and was very pleased, "So this world is really wonderful, and there are so many things happening in it that I don't know how to answer. Well...
...If Chris could see this scene today, he would definitely
You will be happy. Not because equality will open a new chapter, but because you are like God’s intentional arrangement. You are both yourself and Chris who have been reborn. With equality, you will move forward.
We have passed the most difficult stage and are on the right path.”
"When I was in prison, I thought of him many nights, and I really hoped to have the opportunity to talk to him in person."
"You can make it happen by asking yourself questions in front of the mirror." Boyin joked.
Verak smiled slightly: "Teacher Keating just left. I originally wanted to introduce him to you. He admires you very much and wants to meet you."
"Robin Keating is a very powerful person. It's really good to be assigned to the same cell as him and gain so much." Boyin also wanted to get to know Keating. He was even a little envious of Verak, "Also
It doesn’t matter, there are plenty of opportunities, and we can have breakfast together tomorrow.”
"Um."
"Okay, let's go back and rest. After this busy day, I will ask you about the content of the theory of equality."
"Um?"
"Morais told me that you and Comrade Keating compiled a more complete theory of equality in prison, and I will study it carefully later."
"Okay, I'll go first." Boyin will come to read his things one day. Verak truly feels the flight of time and the huge changes.
"Wait a minute." Boyin stopped Verak who was getting up to leave.
Verak stopped and turned his head.
"At that time... thank you." Boyin said.
Verak knew that what he said was that he sacrificed himself to rescue him before being taken to Damans Prison.
That was the beginning of his new life.
"Thank you too."
——
When Verak came to the meeting, he met Charles face-to-face and learned that Diaz, Nord, and Murphy had completed the mission without any danger.
He was relieved and proud of them.
Facts have proved that others can do great things without him. He should indeed respect other people's choices and not deprive others of their right to contribute in the name of protecting them.
Those three were safe, so he was not in a hurry to see them. Instead, he walked to another factory controlled by the Equality Society in the middle of the night. This factory was responsible for receiving the wounded, and he came specifically to see Ross.
After some questioning and finding Rose's bed, Verak carefully sat on the edge of the bed.
"Well……"
Verak's movement was very small, but it still alarmed Rose. Rose's whole body was bandaged on the hospital bed, and his face was pale and weak: "Verak..."
"You're awake." Verak smiled despite his fatigue.
"I woke up a long time ago...I've been waiting for you to come..." Ross said intermittently.
"You have worked hard during this period. In order to keep my secret, you must have suffered a lot of abuse from Rock Shriver... By the way, I have good news for you. We have arrested Rock Shriver. You need to take good care of yourself.
It’s time to teach him a lesson and let him——”
"Verak..." Rose interrupted Verak, tears welling up in his eyes.
Verak thought Ross was too excited and smiled to try to calm him down.
"Dawn is dead."
"...What?" Verak's smile disappeared again before it could gather again.
