54.

"Mistakes must be corrected, General."

I sat at General Elle's desk and said solemnly.

"Whether it is Gojo Satoru, or his students who were imprisoned in the prison star—they were all sent in because of some trumped-up charges and the means of eliminating dissidents by the elders' house. Including the elders' house, everyone It is clear that there is no way they could be treasonous."

I’ve read everyone’s profile and been in contact with them, and I know what happened to them like the back of my hand: Except for Nagasaki Wild Rose, who was imprisoned for beating an Omega who bullied Beta, almost everyone else was because of Those who were "too dangerous" were charged with various crimes and sent to prison.

There are many people in the elders' house who should be put in prison far more than they are, but they are still at large, and the good people even have to be in prison to avoid persecution-this world is twisted enough, but the evil people still want to kill them all.

This mistake should have been corrected a long time ago. The law should not be a means for the empire to exclude dissidents.However, due to various restrictions, even Wujo Satoru, who is as strong as Gojo Satoru, cannot end this mistake by himself.

"Such methods are absolutely not beneficial to the development of the empire." I tried to calm down my tone, "You should have noticed, General, just like what the military is doing, encouraging everyone to improve themselves is the correct way to exchange blood. The behavior of the elders' house to suppress the fearful and powerful will only turn the future of the empire into a pool of stagnant water."

Damn it... who the hell did Gojo Satoru learn from? Report good news and not bad news!Prison Star has obviously been under siege for a while, and he didn't mention a word when he called me last night...!

What is this guy so stubborn about... asking for help from others!Even if he is very strong, but facing an army and protecting so many people, how can he be able to cover everything and be unscathed!I wouldn't worry if he faced the elders' house alone, but there are still so many people...

"It seems that you have a good relationship with Gojo Satoru." General Ellie brought me a cup of black tea with a calm expression, "Have a cup of hot tea first...you look a bit haggard."

"He's my ally—I thought he was your ally too." I took the teacup and realized that the military department was not as interested in this matter as I thought, so I suppressed the anxiety in my heart and forced Behave more smoothly.

"He is indeed." General Allie took a sip of tea and showed a gentle smile, "But my child, things are not as simple as you imagine."

"I know you have always been an upright child, Asuka, and this matter is indeed a huge mistake," she paused, as if trying to organize her words, "but it is difficult for the military department to directly intervene in this matter. The elders' house , the parliament, and the imperial family are fixed allies, and the current balance between the military and them is based on the premise of non-interference..."

"And if they intervene in the execution of traitors, the military department will completely tear their faces away from them, and they will even be labeled as rebels. You also know that the House of Elders has always been very good at controlling public opinion."

"The balance will be broken sooner or later, why don't we be the ones who take the initiative to break the balance." I squeezed my knuckles and said calmly, "We all know that this balance is only superficial, and the countless assassinations in the Elder's House have also proved this. One point. Now that the military department is powerful and its reputation is getting better and better, it is impossible for the House of Elders not to take action against the military department."

"Gojo Wu's previous actions cooperated with Yi Gu, and Yi Gu represented the forces of the military. In their eyes, Wujo Wu and the military are a force. After Wujo Wu is eliminated, they will turn their finger on the military. Ministry, using exactly the same means to fabricate lies and accuse the Marshal and you."

"But it's the same now—we will be labeled as treason if we do anything." General Ellie frowned slightly, "I can understand your feelings, but..."

"On the contrary, general," I stood up, tapped on the table, and said seriously, "I think this is the most appropriate time to break the control of public opinion in the elders' house. It's time to lower the high point of public opinion and completely make them lose their credibility."

General Aili pinched the center of her brows, her old face was slightly moved.

"Go on." She paused and said, "Convince me... If you can convince me, I will allow you to lead troops to support Prison Star."

I relaxed a little and sat back in my seat.

"First of all, General, you know Kamo Kenji." I said, "The future heir of the Kamo family puts the rules of the family above his own wishes. It can be said that he is the most rigid heir."

She nodded, thoughtfully: "You want to say..."

"However, even people like him don't believe that Gojo Satoru would collude with the Zerg race to treason." I leaned forward, watched her seriously, and said slowly, "This is the worst move ever made by the Elder's Court." They're used to making random accusations and framing people, which has served them well in the past...but Gojo Satoru is different from everyone they've ever framed in the past."

"Humanity is the strongest, Gojo Satoru. His reputation is not only spread in the empire, but even the people of the federation are deeply impressed by him. He has defended the empire for many years without fear of life and death, and has experienced countless battles. He is the patron saint in everyone's heart. People trust him , Respect him, and never believe that he colluded with the Zerg—especially when he just cleaned the border and killed several super Zerg."

"People may believe Shire treason, believe me treason, even believe Marshal treason... Sorry, it's just a metaphor, because many people don't usually see the news of Mr. Marshal." I paused and raised my hands in offense, " But they will not believe Gojo Satoru is treasonous, he is such an existence that people believe in, and it is true from the perspective of popularity and deeds."

"No, it's not an offense, you're right." General Ally obviously became serious, "You mean..."

"This lie is an important point in the collapse of the presbytery's credibility," I explained, "The news was released in the middle of the night, but a large number of people still questioned the authenticity of the incident-my previous incident made everyone no longer fully believe it. The House of the Elders, and Gojo Satoru's news collapsed it."

"The elders' house also realized this and chose to divert the public's attention. Gojo Wu's news was taken off the shelves in large numbers, and the media raised by the elders' house blocked my door early in the morning and fabricated news about me and Shier on top of it. Headlines. When I saw it in the morning, I couldn’t see the news about Gojo Satoru.”

"Choosing this method proves that they can no longer control public opinion and can only make it disappear." General Ai Li waved his hand and turned on the virtual screen, "And as long as we grasp this point and combine this matter with Gojo Satoru re-publicized the deeds of the elders and questioned the decision of the Elderly House..."

"Then our sending troops is just...although it is just." I said with a smile, "We just sent troops to support the correction of mistakes, not treason - the royal family's ideas have long been unimportant, the most important thing is The support of the people. And the credibility of the House of Elders will be completely disintegrated, no matter how they criticize the military in the future, they will no longer be able to stand on the moral high ground."

"You are always good at persuading others, Asuka." General Ellie smiled wryly, "Even though I know you have selfish intentions to save people, your reasons are indeed enough to convince me..."

"Saving people is only one aspect, and of course I also have other selfish intentions." I lowered my eyes slightly, and after thinking about it, I raised my eyes again and met General Ellie's eyes with an open and honest attitude, " I hope to go in person and add a convincing military merit to myself."

"It's too dangerous." General Aili said solemnly, "Even if you have persuaded me, I still don't agree to let you go in person. There are a large number of dangerous high-level new humans under the presbytery, and the high-level new humans that exist in order to wipe out Gojo Satoru You should know how strong you are, you are giving the assassin an opportunity!"

"I didn't do it impulsively, I've already considered it." I interrupted her, and said seriously, "Only I can definitely find traces of Zerg genes and transformation on the corpses of soldiers in the Presbyterian House, and only I was able to find evidence that the House of Elders colluded with the Zerg - even though we all know they did, we still need 'evidence' to make the final blow."

"The evidence produced by my ability, coupled with the evidence obtained by Gojo Satoru when he cleaned the border, is enough to nail the House of Elders to the shame of treason."

"At the same time, I really need an ally like Gojo Satoru. He has been of great help to my career. I don't want to abandon him for the time being."

General Allie really looked helpless now.

She shook her head helplessly, put her seal on the table, and sighed: "Since you have already considered it, then I will not stop you anymore. Go, Asuka, to Prison Star."

"Thank you for your understanding, General." I saluted her, my tensed back slightly relaxed imperceptibly.

It wasn't until I closed the door of her office and returned to my own office through the corridor with Shir that the calmness and calmness on my face suddenly disintegrated.

No matter how many reasons I explain, I can't change the fact that I went to rescue the prison star out of personal feelings.

My gut tells me that if I don't go, I will regret it for the rest of my life.

I felt my heart beating uncomfortably—I wasn't too worried about Gojo Satoru, he was the strongest, and those higher new humans couldn't do anything to him.But he's hard to cover in the upcoming war-spec deathmatch, and I have a lot of people and things to worry about...

...Especially that high-level new human being named Zhenren.

I hate him... from the first time I saw him, I hated him from the bone marrow, just like facing a natural enemy.He will not only kill the human body, but also destroy the human soul and dignity.

I can't imagine any of my companions turned into the monsters I've seen, with unconsciousness and self-esteem lingering.Rather, from the first time I stepped into the battlefield of the rating competition and faced him for the first time, I have always felt uneasy and secret worries growing wildly in my heart——

I was always worried, worried that he would take away the people I hold dearest.

And if that happens, it's all on me: I've had many chances to kill the guy, and I've let him get away.

I squeezed my fingers, went straight past Shier, and sat on the seat to search for information: "You go back and prepare your luggage first, Shier... No, there is no need to prepare, I will directly bring the seal to the marshal to dispatch troops, and by the way The issue of public opinion is also..."

A warm hand covered my head and ruffled my hair casually.

I looked up and met Shir's face.

"Pull away the worried expression—show the strategic expression of convincing General Elle." He seemed to have seen through my thoughts, maintained his usual calmness, and smoked his pipe, "You should also show such an expression , if you trust Gojo Satoru, Kei, and your so-called companions, you should be like this."

I breathed out: "You're right...I really envy you still in the mood to smoke at this moment."

"It's better to say that smoking is also a way to relieve stress." Shi Er casually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, "Do you want to try it?"

"...It's okay." I gave up thinking, took a cigarette he handed over, and clamped it clumsily: "Try..."

Shi Er bent down, put his unlit cigarette against mine, and said vaguely: "Remember to give me the cigarette money later."

"Do you have to pay for just one cigarette?" I muttered as I watched him leaning against me, lit two cigarettes with a lighter, and took a tentative puff: "Cough..."

Shi Er supported my shoulders, and said with a sneer, "Be careful when you smoke for the first time? Seriously, if it weren't for your current state, I wouldn't suggest that a little girl like you smoke...how do you feel?"

"Dizzy." I let out a breath, and said concisely, "I don't understand why you can smoke cigarettes all day long..."

My brain seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist, and the smoke was wandering in the room, and my eyes unconsciously spread along with the smoke.

"...But maybe it does have some effect..." I took another breath, let out a breath, and said in a low voice, "Paralyze the brain and mental power...stop thinking and escape from reality..."

"But you need to escape, Asuka." Shi Er rarely called my name.

He looked down at me, and for a split second I almost thought he was going to kiss me.

It wasn't until the soot fell on my knees and the burning sensation came from the surface of my skin that I came back to my senses, watching him press against my forehead, and the warm touch disappeared for a moment.

"Don't let yourself be like smoke." He pressed against my forehead, slowly moved upwards, and kissed my eyes, "I'll forget it... I don't want to see you, an idiot, burn yourself down Ash."

Warm, peaceful...like driftwood on a stretch of icy water.

I have seen people describe the happiness and sense of security brought by close contact, but they rarely feel it: probably only when I lean on the shoulders of Senior Nanami and read a book like in the past, can I feel the complete relaxation brought by close contact .

But at this moment, while my body tensed slightly due to my alertness to Alpha, I involuntarily relaxed and sank into the soft back of the chair.

I was a little surprised at the relaxation at this time, and felt that it was justifiable: he has been with me for more than half a year, and I have long been used to the feeling of his approach.

I can grab this piece of driftwood just by stretching out my fingers.

I pressed against his forehead, thinking so.

If I get closer, I can get more and warmer comfort, release the suppressed emotions through other channels, open my heart in the warm touch, and tell him my pain and struggle.

But I never got used to this.

I avoided his sight and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Shi Er sneered and straightened up.

"You better be like this."

He turned his back neatly, stopped looking at me, and waved his hand casually: "I'm going to pack my things and I'll be back soon—protect yourself during this time, don't die, I haven't received my salary this month yet .”
