Astral Flower-Chapter 515: The Person Watching
The moment when the man raised his head to look at them, Long Qian Xing was looking straight in his eyes.
Eyes are the window of the soul.
Even if he had been trained ever since he was young to conceal whatever he was thinking. At the very last moment, he chose not to follow the order and training that had been embedded deep into his bones.
He revealed his true feelings.
Sadness, despair, and relief.
For the people in the organization who could only follow the order if they wanted to live, death might be a relief. Because it meant that they were finally free.
Their body and mind kept on working hard, trying to live as much as possible. For what? For the future they didn’t even know they could have, for themselves, for many other things that they might not dare to imagine. But at the end of the day, many of them could never achieve it.
Is it worth it?
He didn’t know, but Long Qian Xing felt that the man might feel that it was worth it. Because at the very least, he had tried his best in his life.
Even if the result was far from expectation, but at the very least, he had tried in his life.
It was just that what they had done in their lives under the order of the organization would have to be carried by them for their entire life.
Whether they regret it was another matter altogether.
It was the sin they had to carry in their lives.
"Relief..." Long Shi Yu sighed deeply. He showed a bitter smile. "To be honest, they’re all very pitiable, yet I’m sure that not a single one of them would be willing to accept being pitied by others."
Many people lived a life where they seemed to have no other choice. Because the other choice would be death.
Some people would pick death rather than doing things they didn’t want.
But some others picked to do it rather than dying.
Which one is right and which one is wrong?
Long Shi Yu didn’t know and neither did Long Qian Xing. It was their decision in their lives, which they respected.
"Come on, there’s still report to make and also a lot of cleaning to do. For him to die so quickly, it can only meant that there’s a leakage or they have a method to cross the signal blockade..."
"You know that Green Planet is not at the top in terms of technology, right? We’ve been trying to catch up for more than a century, but those who had those technology will not let us to know so easily."
"In that case, list the few things that can..."
They were all working hard to figure it out. At the corner of the side, a soldier silently pressed a button on his wrist.
Information sent.
Missions successful.
Lowering his eyes just like the other people, he did his work. Showing no flaw, living a life completely different from their real life, that was their only method to stay alive. Even if this life might be far worse than death.
...
<Somewhere far away>
Beep! Beep! Beep!
"The traitor has been killed, but part of the information was leaked out."
A man was looking at the monitor in front of him and leaned back calmly. He tapped the chair beside him calmly and then turned to look at the side. The screen changed to show the appearance of a different person.
"Glue, it’s another mission failure. The organization is very displeased by the result in Green Planet."
"It’s just one of the few planets they want to take over." The man, who was called Glue, was as calm as he could possibly be. He didn’t seem to care in the slightest bit to the person in front of him. "If you want to blame, you should blame your students to be so bad, A Rang."
"Don’t make excuse." A Rang snorted. "I’m only the teacher of section 10 and whether they could survive or not depends on their own ability. WIth their abilities, there’s no problem to finish easy mission. Did you do something, Glue?"
Facing the accusation thrown to him, Glue only raised his head and looked at A Rang and smiled faintly. "What do you think I can do, A Rang? An old man like me who had been in the organization for decades, I naturally know very well what I can do and what I can’t do."
A Rang snorted.
Everyone in the organization had their own way to survive. Trickery, sabotaging, and many others.
They were taught to do everything perfectly without leaving any evidences behind. So if they wanted to plot against their own so called ’comrades’ there would be nothing that stop them.
The only perquisite was for them to finish their mission.
Because if they failed their mission, it meant their death.
"I’m only a senior watchers of a planet, strictly speaking, I do nothing but relay message and made sure no information about the organization will be revealed." Glue played with the tool in his hand. "Naturally, it also meant that I’ll not allow betrayer."
A Rang seemed to accept his words. Even though the word distrust was still visible on his face, but both of them knew that this was nothing but act. A Rang was only acting in accordance to what the organization wanted while Glue also responded in the same way.
In the entire organization, no one escaped the fate of being ’controlled.’
Only the one at the very above was the one who was not controlled because he was the one held their entire life in his hand.
They wanted to live.
And in order to do that, they could not allow their mission to fail. They had experienced many pains in order to rise up to their current position. Naturally, they also understood the way of the organization even more.
"Why did you call me this time?"
