This surprise did not stem from Sarna's admission that the betrayal was forced, but from Mu Yi's conversation with her.
It felt like the new captain's eyes penetrated Sarna's heart, as if he could peek into every move of her mind.
If I read correctly, Sarna has been baking the "Annihilation" bracelet, which means that Unpredictable does not use mind reading.
So how did he do it?
From the conversation in the conference room just now? Or from Sharna's expression, or even her words and deeds... Could it be that just from these details, we can infer and grasp the general outline of Sharna's betrayal?
No matter what, Mu Zhi's insight into people's hearts was like magic to the two of them.
Moreover, what was the captain saying just now? Does it seem like you want to be open to traitors?
Calderon was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Mozhu confirmed from the conversation that the Southern Tribe would no longer make an issue of today's matter. A stone fell to his heart, and he happened to give him another order. :
"Tell the outside world and actively prepare for war. We are about to face a truly cruel battle. We cannot relax in any way!"
"As soon as the people below show their heads, attack me with all your strength. Don't hold anything back, and don't be afraid of wasting ammunition. In short, just fight with all your might..."
Calderon immediately touched his forehead: "Captain, didn't you say everything is fine... Why are you still preparing for war?"
Mo Ce glanced at him sideways and said silently: "I think it will be difficult to explain to you."
"Why are you still standing there? Go and deliver the order!"
Calderon frowned and froze for two seconds, knowing that he had to act in accordance with the order. Then before leaving, he said in a deep tone:
"Captain, you have to interrogate her as soon as possible... If Captain Sylph's death is related to her, I... will not let him go."
He looked at Mo Zhi seriously, indicating that he was not joking.
This guy is obsessed with avenging the former captain and director... Previously, Mobi had said that the encounters of the two former leaders might be related to the traitors. Now that the traitors have been found, Mobi seems to be open-minded. I mean, I quit immediately.
However, it was precisely because he had this idea that Mo Zhi was almost the first to rule out his questionable options without mind reading.
I guess that the respected captain was killed by the Southern Tribe and someone who wants revenge should not be a traitor... Of course, this may be a disguise, but the unpredictable nature of his contract ability makes it more or less the same. I can tell he is serious.
Later in the office, he was still asked to wear the "Annihilation" handcuffs, which was just a thoughtful way to prevent unpredictable and low-probability incidents.
Unpredictable nodded, waving for him to go and do things quickly. Seeing him reluctantly leaving the conference room, he looked at Sharna again, who was in a state of ups and downs.
She...hasn't recovered from what she just said.
What does this new captain mean? What he just said was asking him to be lenient if he confessed?
He said that he should look at his betrayal based on the actual situation. Did he mean to... be lenient to himself?
This was enough to shock her to the point where she couldn't believe it, and she kept thinking about whether the young director who had just arrived was telling the truth!
The regulations of the "Punisher's Manual" are almost like iron laws to the grassroots punishers, and they must be strictly observed. Regardless of whether they are actually implemented as strictly as the regulations, at least Pandora has not repeatedly reiterated that the punishers are not allowed to One step beyond the thunder pool...
What's more, betrayal is not just a violation of the regulations in the "Manual", but a complete violation of the "Heavenly Punishment" and the iron laws of the "Convention".
In other words, Sharna is already a criminal through and through. There is no need to doubt this. What awaits her is the next trial with the Eye of Justice, and the punishment will depend on the sentencing... and the punishment for betrayal. The maximum penalty is hanging.
But...what is Mozhi saying?
What he actually meant was that he wanted to refer to his own true situation. Did he want to judge it himself? Didn't he send himself directly to Pandora's headquarters to face the judgment of the Judgment Council as stipulated?
No... The smart Sharna quickly figured it out. Unpredictable didn't mean that. In that case, he would also be violating the "Manual" and even the "Heavenly Punishment".
What he means is... he will decide this matter. If his situation is really extenuating, he can be accommodating and deal with it privately without sending himself to Pandora headquarters.
However, this is also illegal for the captain, and may even be punished by "Heavenly Punishment".
For Sharna, who was already in despair, this was already... unimaginable, a huge gift like the favor of the Iron God.
It was equivalent to giving her a glimmer of hope in despair.
After figuring this out, Sharna swallowed subconsciously and murmured in disbelief:
"Captain, do you... know what you are talking about?"
This traitor also used the title captain for the first time...
Mo Zhi smiled and nodded without any hesitation.
The way he looked showed that he certainly knew the consequences of doing so. Judging from how easily the new captain found out about himself after arriving, he was extremely smart. How could he not have thought of the kind of accountability he would bear?
Sharna frowned slightly in a hurry, tried to calm herself down, and took a deep breath.
She can no longer see through...
I don’t know the purpose behind the young captain’s tolerance for himself.
She was very knowledgeable and did not ask further questions about this. Instead, she paused, her heart skipped a beat, she raised her head and stared at the unpredictable, and said attentively:
"Everything... started with that first phone call."
"Originally, I was just an ordinary member of the Inspectorate, a very ordinary member. The captain may not know it yet, but I suddenly awakened my contract ability in the position of Inspector."
"This kind of situation is relatively rare, but it is precisely because of the convenience of working in the Inspectorate that I was discovered to have awakened at the first time... Well, it was Captain Sylph who personally brought the spirit puppet to help me through it. Overcome the difficulty of awakening.”
Mozhi glanced sideways at Motaki standing next to him, saw him slightly nodding to Sharna's "confession", and then looked back again.
They are colleagues and should know something about each other.
Sharna paused:
"So, that's it, I changed from an ordinary inspector to a punisher directly under Captain Sylph's suggestion."
"This is natural...because I work in the Inspectorate. If I refuse to join the Punisher, I won't be able to do my job as an Inspector...Haha, this is a clever fate."
Sharna paused:
"For Captain Sylph and my old superior...Director Li Feng, I...respect...for this, I am convinced that my respect for them is no less than that of Moto Taki. No less than Calderon.”
"But I... still betrayed the Inspectorate. After becoming the Punisher, I realized that there is such a secret world of contractors under the peaceful city life."
"So, I know the responsibilities of the Punisher, and I also know the difficulties that the Punisher team in Bancarroll City can face... The Southern Tribe is too powerful, so powerful that it makes people desperate..."
"But what does that matter?"
Sharna smiled self-deprecatingly and looked into her unpredictable eyes:
"You also became a contractor a few months ago and became a member of the Inspectorate... Captain Mo, you should feel that way."
"It's as if you have entered a supernatural world that is confusing and unknown, and in this world, there are crises almost everywhere... For the punisher, any mistake may lead to irreparable consequences, and even cost his life. price."
Well, she has read my file and knows that I also became a "rookie" of the Punisher a few months ago... But I don't have similar feelings. I have always been quite capable. On the third day of my tenure, I risked killing He saved a time-traveler at the risk of his head... Mozhuang nodded in approval and added in a calm tone:
"I want to thank my captain and my director...Although they have some weird personalities, they still gave me careful guidance and help. Under their rich experience...I got through that period smoothly. time."
Finding empathy from Captain Unpredictable, Sharna nodded, but immediately shook her head:
"Yes, we have similar experiences."
"I am the same, I am under the care of Captain Sylph, and at the same time...well, this is also the reason why I said I will respect the captain..."
Motaki next to her seemed to be examining the authenticity of her words, and finally had to admit:
"Captain Silver is an excellent captain who deserves the respect of all of us."
Sharna nodded: "Everything started from that phone call."
"One night when I was on duty at the Inspectorate, I received a strange phone call...from the Southern Tribe."
"They seemed to know very well that I was on duty that night and also knew my situation very well. They asked me to do things for them straight away."
Sharna narrowed her eyes slightly and sighed again:
"During the days when I became the Punisher, I... knew how difficult the Southern Tribe was, and knew that their power was almost ten times that of the Inspectorate..."
"I have seen Captain Silver frowning and worrying about the case. She once told me personally that all cases involving the southern tribe have become unsolved."
"Pressure from the federal government, threats to security and freedom... Captain Unpredictable, you may not know how rampant southern separatism is throughout the southern provinces! The Inspectorate will collect reports almost every once in a while. to extraordinary cases, most of which were murders or assassinations, and the victims... were mostly members of pro-federal factions."
"As you said, the Ombudsman... really can't do much here."
Sharna's pupils gradually dilated, as if she was trying to penetrate the layers of memories. She bit her thin lips and her tone was full of despair:
"As for me, they dared to call the Inspectorate directly and ask me to become their spy and do things for them, thereby betraying...Pandora!"
"Only those who have been in it will know how frightening it is... I thought about it, and after almost summoning up all the courage I had lived for more than 20 years, I said something into the microphone... No!"
Sharna's eyes were already red:
"That night, before I even got home from my night shift, my mother disappeared."
"I come from a single-parent family and was raised by my mother alone. But...just to make me compromise, the Southern Tribe expelled her and used her life as a bargaining chip to make me surrender."
Unpredictable fell silent, without saying a word, looking at Sharna's eyes flashing with tears, and subconsciously glanced at Moto Taki, who was also silent next to him.
This kid seemed to feel the same way... Mo Zhi sighed inwardly. Being a punisher in Bancarol, in the Southern Province, the southern tribe's sphere of influence, was really a hard job.
Sharna seemed to take a deep breath:
"I used all my strength, searched with the Spiritual Puppet of the Supervision Office, and investigated everywhere, but I couldn't find any trace of my mother... She seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, which made me even more convinced that it was the Southern Tribe who did it. of."
"That's it, until I was in a anxious mood and waited until the second night watch, when I received the second call from the Southern Tribe."
"This time, I heard my mother's cry on the phone... The person on the phone said that if I didn't cooperate, she would die soon."
Unpredictable nodded, tried his best to suppress the helplessness in his heart, looked at Sharna and asked:
"What choice do you make?"
"I..." Sharna pursed her lips: "I may have done something stupid."
"I... agreed! But... I agreed verbally and asked the other party to release my mother... I think they have the recording of the phone call, which should be enough to control me. After all, Pandora will not tolerate the Punisher's betrayal."
"I'm being smart... I'm really being smart. I told Captain Silver about this in private."
Mobi breathed a sigh of relief: "You want to...be a double agent, right? In this way, you can not only defuse the situation on the southern tribe's side, but also prove your innocence to the captain."
"I have to say, this is a smart move." Mo Zhi sighed:
"If it were me, I would probably make the same choice as you."
"However, if you do this, it means that you still resist becoming a member of the Southern Tribe, and your heart is still with the Supervisory Office."
Such a tolerant understanding made Sharna's heart suddenly filled with unnecessary confusion... However, after saying this, her eyes darkened again:
"This is the decision I regret the most, because it harmed Captain Silver."
"The next morning, when the captain took several colleagues to arrest a newly awakened contract breaker, an accident happened."
"This is...the reason why Captain Silver was seriously injured."
When Mu Zhi heard this, his brows immediately knitted together.
Motaki next to him was also startled and asked quickly:
"The captain's accident was because the Southern Tribe wanted to warn you? Was it an attack planned by the Southern Tribe?"
"There is no evidence...but they did it." Sarna said in a low tone:
"Because, I received the third call soon."
"The other party said that I was uncooperative and dared to make small moves behind my back. This is a warning to me!"
"They could...easily take out a Punisher Captain!"
"It was me...who harmed Sylph! It was me..." Sharna said this almost in a tearful voice.
