Rekindle the spirit of war

Chapter 41

Sean looked at the newspaper spread out on the table, frowning slightly.He went to the factory early every morning, so it was always late in the evening to read the morning paper.

An unappetizing black-and-white photo takes up most of the page.The man in the photo is dead, his protruding eyeballs are rolled up, revealing large whites of his eyes, and he is expressionless.Foam gushes out from the corner of the mouth, and the fluid below the head forms a small lake, which should be a mixture of blood and brain.He was hit hard on the side of his head, leaving a big hole.

"It said, 'He wailed before he died, and when someone opened the door to check, he slammed into the edge of the iron door and died instantly. He killed himself out of shame.'" Sheehan folded the newspaper and placed it in a side. "If I remember correctly, the government will do everything possible to prevent prisoners who are going to be court-martialed from committing suicide. If the prison officers can't even look after a businessman who doesn't exercise physically, then the prison will be in chaos."

The occupant of the room, Adam, who sat across from Sean, agreed with him: "It's really weird to kill yourself the day before going to court. Most likely someone ordered him to take the risk of killing someone after he failed to set us up. The royal family and a small number of nobles also raised doubts, but the Zhanying family guarantees their dignity, they have issued a ban, and no one is allowed to approach the repeat offender."

"I do believe it. 'War Eagles' would never harm the royal family. They have been royal supporters for generations."

Adam smiled, with a look of respect and nostalgia on his face. "Thank God, you managed to come back to life. I saw you the other day and thought it was amazingly familiar, but I didn't expect it was really you."

"I know you can recognize me, even though you were a child at the time. I was so embarrassed at the time, and I feel ashamed when I think about it." Sean smiled slyly: "Don't call me by an honorific title. You have already lived half of your life Over the centuries, I have witnessed the great changes in this country before and after the restructuring. I have only lived for more than [-] years, and I would feel ashamed to be regarded as an elder by you."

"In terms of age, yes, in the eyes of outsiders, we are young and old. But back then, you were the preacher, and I was just inspired. I think I have successfully followed in your footsteps. "

Sean took a deep look at the hale and hearty old man in front of him. "Remember? For the land, for survival, for freedom, for the future."

"Of course I remember it, and I'm working on it. In fact, many people remember it, but they force themselves to forget it. People in high positions are delusional, and people in low positions are afraid of being 'sane.'"

"I can understand them. Most of the participants have died, and the survivors were also exiled to the northernmost snowfield glacier, where they eventually froze to death. But many people believed the false claims of those in power, and did not know that some people They fought." Sean narrated flatly, with a flash of pain in his eyes: "It's not anyone's fault, it's our mistake—we shouldn't have kept most civilians behind us. We thought we were protecting them , but actually made them ignorant of our resistance. And the few who survived and knew the truth, they saw the strength of the big family and our failure, so they fell silent."

Adam looked at Shane with pity. "You are right. One winter, you drove away wild animals and mended sheepfolds for my parents. They all remembered your goodness. When I brought your sword back, they all cried and said over and over Going 'It's over, we lost'."

"Is it all over?" Sean repeated in a questioning tone, then shook his head with a smile: "They are dead wrong. Rebellion can be suppressed, flesh and blood can be wiped out, but the mind is always there. It exists in all In the hearts of people, it explodes on the brave. You inherited our thoughts and gathered strength, and I found my comrades in arms again. It’s amazing to think about it, a circle that keeps rolling connects us, and no one can Stop it from going forward."

"Yeah, amazing." Adam murmured.He looked at Sean, as humble as a junior. "In order to establish the 'Crow', I have waited for a long time and prepared for a long time. But I have known some members long ago. It was because of an opportunity - the common people united against the big family for the first time. Not long after you came to this era, I'm afraid I don't understand. Five years ago, because the factories were too dense, there was a disaster that filled the city with poisonous smog for a long time. Many civilians died of illness during that time, but the people of the big family were safe, because someone developed a small-scale use Air purification devices with expensive raw materials.”

"The lives of these guys are guaranteed, so they no longer care about the life and death of civilians, but let the factory continue to operate, right?" Sean speculated: "Then, is it technological innovation or civilian resistance that has played a role?"

"It was both. There were some angry workers who were going to smash the factory, but the students came out and said they should not destroy the place where most people depend on their livelihood, but should ask the big family in power for an explanation. It was a war. There was a huge parade, and the parliamentary building was surrounded by a sea of ​​people. Members could only use airships and ladders to enter the building through the windows. At that time, overseas wars were frequent, and the nobles could only use private troops to suppress them. But they did not dare to kill people, only captured some People. The two sides have been in a stalemate for a long time. Finally, the purification device suitable for the factory was researched, and the parliament paid for the popularization and release of the arrested. This matter was resolved. By the way, some big businessmen wanted to hire the inventor, but I first Found him."

"I know who he is." Sean thought of the companion who was called Frankenstein and was only interested in machinery. "So, Francis also met you at that time?"

"Yes, Francis and his sister were arrested and imprisoned while distributing leaflets. Their experience is very sympathetic." Adam shook his head sadly.

Sean thought of his partner. "He does not feel right at times. Mania and desperation, that's what I see in him a lot. But he's brave, so I trust him the most. Sorry for saying this, but a lot of people are afraid of change."

"Of course they are afraid. Death is frightening, and the situation of being out of control after a huge change is even more unimaginable. I also hesitated."

Sean clasped his hands and sat up straight, his eyes shining with fearless bravery. "The so-called 'awakening' means that people who are sleeping in a daze suddenly wake up and stand up one day? As long as we keep our minds clear and hold our weapons tightly. I understand your concern. The crowd that is too angry and extreme may make the whole The situation is in chaos. But we don't need to destroy everything, we just need to change the existing order and make it fair."

Adam stared intently at Sean, hesitating to speak. "Francis has told me all about your experience. You have suffered misfortune, but it seems that you have not been affected in the slightest."

"Who said there is no influence? I'm even more mean." Sean laughed twice, and then said seriously: "My thoughts are the same as before I died. I can't lose my bravery because of misfortune, and I can't lose my calm because of any feelings. Our goal is right, so I must not give up until it's done. I've done some wrong things too - I've never forgotten them, but atonement has to wait until it's done."

Adam almost stood up in shock. "Do you want to..."

Sean smiled and pulled the newspaper over.Originally, he continued to read the newspaper with an attitude of entertainment, but the news on the back surprised him beyond measure—Medanzuo's eye was stabbed.

Time went back to the evening of the previous day.

"Sir, your previous driver is here. He insisted on apologizing to you, so I will arrange him in a side hall. If you don't want to see him, I will send him away immediately."

Mei Danzuo learned the news from the housekeeper.He had just disembarked from the airship and didn't even take off his uniform. "Is it the one whose eyes were gouged out by me?"

"Yes, sir. Are you sending him away?"

Medanzo shook his head with a complicated expression. "No. I'm going to see him. He's still blind, isn't he?" As the words came out, he asked and answered himself. "Must be blind. A gouged out eyeball can't be cured unless it's repaired and reimplanted by a good doctor. But his eyeball rolled down the drain. I'm going to see him now, thank you arrange."

The butler followed behind Medanzuo without showing any surprise.God knows how surprised he was when he heard the young master thank him for the first time, but after a few days, he got used to it.

Medanzuo walked into the side hall.The moment he saw the opponent's appearance, he immediately stopped in his tracks.Usually people with eye injuries wear blindfolds, but this person didn't.In the empty eye sockets, the dark tissue has shrunk, and the white bones seem to glow white against the background, which makes people shudder.

"How dare you be so rude? Put on your blindfold!" The butler snapped angrily, but Medanzo signaled him to shut up.

Medanzuo was annoyed by the appearance of the other party, but also very guilty—this feeling was unprecedented.He knew what he was doing was wrong, he had always known; but he used to want everyone to be afraid of him, and he didn't hesitate to abuse his wrongdoers to do so.He closed his eyes and didn't look at the other person, but this action failed to dispel the pain in his heart.

"You shouldn't have come to me to apologize." Mei Danzuo finally said, "Although you made the first mistake, I should have destroyed your life."

The man stared at him as if he had seen a ghost. "Are you really Medanzo Levin?"

Medanzo frowned subconsciously.He hates being called by his first name.This is so disrespectful, Sean would be offended by it even if he did. "what do you want to say in the end?"

The man bowed his head respectfully, and said in a blunt tone: "I want to apologize for the mistake of desertion. I smashed the front of the car, and the glass shards from the gas lamp ruined your clothes. What's worse, other gentlemen and ladies also saw this. an accident. I have disgraced you."

Medanzuo's expression sank.After all, he was arrogant, and the other party was obviously provoking him, which made him a little annoyed.He raised his chin and said coldly: "If you want to apologize, just come and say it."

The man came up to him and bowed deeply.Medanzo saw the empty eye sockets of the other party again.This brought back his compassion. "I'll ask the housekeeper to pay you as compensation later."

"Keep it for yourself."

The dazzling white light poured out from Mei Danzuo's fingertips, turning into sharp knives, leaving a bloodstain on the man's neck.Although his reaction was not slow, it was still too late.The sharp knife pierced into the socket of his left eye, rubbed against the bone of the socket, and the sharp sound made his brain ache.The other party seemed to want to gouge out his eyeballs, but before they could, they only cut his eyeballs into two parts.Mei Danzuo covered his eyes and bent down, shivering slightly from the pain.

"Oh my god, he actually cut the flesh of his arm and hid the knife inside his body! No wonder no weapon was found on him when he entered the door! Take him out quickly, and then..."

The voices of others became distant and ethereal, and Mei Danzuo guessed that it was an illusion brought about by the severe pain.He knew that healing magic couldn't bring the eyeball that had been split in two back together, but someone could heal that.My left eye will not be permanently blind, as long as the broken eyeball is removed, repaired, and then put back into the eye socket.It's not serious, it's just been sore for two weeks straight.

Mei Danzuo covered his eyes and walked out quickly.The housekeeper will contact the doctor for him and go to the reception room.As he walked through the hallway, he met his grandfather.The old man looked at him coldly.

"How did you get hurt by a civilian? It's going to be in the papers. You've let me down."

"I'm sorry." Medanzuo bent down, blood oozed from his fingers and dripped on the ground.Perhaps it was the severe pain that made people weak, so he said the question that had been lingering in his heart for a long time: "You don't worry about my injury at all, do you?"

"Why should I worry? Your injury can be healed by others, but only you can maintain your demeanor and vigilance." James sighed and walked outside with a cane. "Also, if you were hurt out of pity, do some soul-searching."

Mei Danzuo couldn't bear to close his eyes forcefully.The cut eyelids were dislocated because of this, and the piercing pain made him tremble, reminding him to continue to the reception room.

If only Sean was here.He can make me not hurt so much, although all the tenderness he gives me has nothing to do with love.

Will he come after seeing the newspaper?

he will come.

He will come.

The author has something to say: My principle is: If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price, no matter who it is

Highly recommend this movie for its aggressive tactics, bullshit and the most romantic ending.
