Things actually developed as Rock Shriver said. Boyne went to the hospital to visit Colin and fell into the trap of the "hidden reef". In just one day, he ended up with the same ending as Verak.
Now, not only is he burdened with another life, but more importantly, Equality will lose two core figures one after another, and the impact of a series of blows will be incalculable.
If the rest of the people want to protect themselves, there is only one way, and that is to immediately give up their plan to announce their ideas to the world through the World Expo, withdraw from the capital Lezein, and turn to other places with relatively less impact. Otherwise, according to the current situation,
It seems that there is a high possibility that they will be wiped out before the opening of the World Exposition.
The situation seemed to have reached a point where it had to back down, but Verak never thought of complaining about Boyin's insistence on passing this proposal, because if it hadn't been for the unexpected situation of him running away, the Equality Association would not have lost two games in a row so early.
city.
"Sit down, Mr. Chris." Rock Shriver stared at Verak's face with interest.
Yesterday, Verak looked aloof and self-proclaimed, refusing to cooperate with him. Now, he trampled on and tore the 'trust' in Verak's words with actual actions, and deprived Verak of all his value.
Verak looked at Boyin, and Boyin looked at him. The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Verak could not read anything in his eyes, so he had to sit down and wait to learn the details: "What on earth is going on here?"
thing?"
Boyin seemed to know that he had made an unwise decision. When Verak asked this question, he frowned and lowered his head.
"Didn't I tell you yesterday?" Rock Shriver was very satisfied with the expression of disbelief on Verak's face now, "He will definitely come to the hospital to visit Colin."
"Boyin..." Verak felt even more ashamed.
Locke Shriver chuckled: "After talking to Mr. Boyne, I found that he is much wiser than you. So you are actually worthless, but Mr. Boyne specifically asked to see you, so he called you
Come over here."
"What do you mean by that?" Verak vaguely felt something was wrong, "What do you mean by 'he is much wiser than you'?"
Rock Shriver did not answer, but looked at Boyne expectantly, waiting for the core figures of the rebel party to 'kill each other'.
"Chris..." Boyin, who had been silent since Verak came in, finally spoke. His tone was a little guilty, and his eyes never met Verak's. "Maybe... we were wrong."
"Wrong?" Verak roughly understood what Boyin meant, but still couldn't believe it was like that, "What's wrong?"
"We can't change anything. If this continues, more people will die..." Boyin lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists, and then immediately released them, "Actually, I already knew it, but I just kept running away. Until
You were caught and I fell into the trap, so I had to face this fact again."
Verak was stunned, as if he had been let down. His eyes were full of confusion and he stared at Boyin angrily.
"You think so too, right?" Boyin smiled sadly, "Everyone of us has this idea, but no one has the nerve to be the first to stand up and say that we can't do it, so we just hold on.
It’s come to this day.”
"Have you decided to cooperate with the government?" Verak asked, swallowing his saliva.
"I--"
A knock on the door interrupted Boyin's words. After getting permission, an agent entered the office, came to Rock Shriver, leaned over and whispered something before leaving in a hurry.
The smile on Locke Shriver's face grew wider: "Mr. Boyne, after investigation, several addresses you provided us are true."
"...I don't need to lie to you." Boyne turned to talk to Rock Shriver, "Can you fulfill your promise?"
"Of course." Locke Shriver was half lying on a chair, looking relaxed and confident of victory. "After we complete the deployment and round up the rebels, we will give them a way out."
"Did you say that?!" After hearing the conversation between the two, Verak suddenly became furious and didn't know why. He stood up and strode to Boyin and pulled up his collar, "How could you?
Believe their lies?! How can they give you a way out! Once you lose all possibility of resistance, you will have no choice but to be slaughtered!"
An agent forcefully pulled Vera away and pushed her back onto the chair.
"You will kill them all!" Verak struggled desperately, but because Boyin had already reached a cooperation with Rock Shriver on his behalf and there was no use for him, the agent no longer held back on him and beat him with a knife.
Speechless.
"Instead of being shot to death on the street, you can really have a chance of survival by cooperating with the government." Boyin slowly became indifferent, and his words no longer contained shame, "Chris, you still have to stick to your unrealistic beliefs.
?"
Verak, who was gritting his teeth in pain, started to tremble with anger after listening to Boyin's words: "Who... told you... it's impossible..."
Boyin looked at it coldly.
"Are you kidding..." Verak had never felt that life was so gloomy. Only at this moment did he feel that he had truly hit the bottom. "When I finally started to believe in you, you gave up..."
"But even you personally said that "On Equality" can no longer be written, and you said that you don't know how to change it." Boyin asked, "If you believe it, then tell me now, what should we do, what should we do?
how to change?"
Verak was speechless.
He didn't know, he only knew that from the moment he was willing to keep the secret for the Equality Society, he could no longer stay out of it no matter what.
"Look, you still can't tell?" Boyin laughed.
Verak could only stare at Boyin.
His persistence was meaningless.
It turns out that this is what it feels like to be let down.
"Take him back and send him to Demans when the dust settles." Rockshreef ordered people to take Verak out of the office.
After being escorted all the way back to the room, Verak walked to the desk in despair and sat down. He removed the useless books one after another on the desk and grabbed the paper about the Equality Promotion Association that was hidden at the bottom.
People who had insisted on it began to not believe that equality could be achieved, and the self who had been trying to draw a clear line began to believe it. This piece of paper, which he regarded as his last hope, has now turned into a joke.
Verak once again wanted to tear these jokes apart, but his hand hung there for a long time without moving.
"Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door.
Again, the door was opened without permission.
A few words of conversation followed.
"I'll just go in."
"Call us anytime if anything happens."
"Okay, trouble."
Verak recognized Boyin's voice. He was sitting at his desk with his back to the door, too lazy to turn around and answer. But a few seconds later, the door closed and Boyin came closer and put a hand on his shoulder.
