【401】The beginning of the fall
Li Mengyan knew without guessing that these people were saved from the confrontation between Du Jin and the Blood Seal. According to her understanding of Du Jin, it was impossible for her to leave alone without confirming the safety of these people and let them fend for themselves here. Suicide, such Du Jin may seem quite inappropriate. After all, in terms of importance, let alone these hundreds of people, even if there are a few zeros added after them, the entire population of Ganymede and the reconstruction of Xia Kingdom In the future, sacrifices can also be considered.
But this somewhat immature persistence is also one of the reasons why Li Mengyan trusted Du Jin from the beginning and firmly believed that he was someone who could follow her in the fight against the Heyi Sect. People who can weigh and make choices are indeed smart and decisive enough. But what the world lacks is not leaders who can make an immediate decision, but people who can do their best to obtain the greatest benefits at the smallest cost, and use their seemingly unworthy responsibilities to provide hope for as many people as possible. , maybe those in high positions are powerless to make certain choices, but for the specific practitioners, reverence and compassion for life are absolutely indispensable.
Therefore, Li Mengyan did not say anything about taking Du Jin away alone, not to mention that she herself was more inclined to take these people who had not been further poisoned by the blood seal out of this purgatory first to prevent the Heyi Sect from counterattacking and causing unnecessary sacrifices. , so Li Mengyan immediately conveyed Du Jin's intention to the fleet headquarters. From an efficiency perspective, Du Jin's request obviously slowed down the overall speed of clearing and isolating the A13 residential area. However, from an important safety perspective, let If the follow-up troops come to respond, they will inevitably pose a great threat to Du Jin, an extremely important target. After all, there is no accurate data yet to show that the corrupt members of the Unity Church on Ganymede have disappeared due to the destruction of the blood seal. In view of the fact that Du Jin The important strategic value at this time, if it is ambushed and killed by the members of the Unity Church, it will be too late for Ganymede to cry.
But Ganymede knows very well that he does not have the capital to bargain with Du Jin or force orders at this time. After all, he was listed as a wanted person before and left to fend for himself in the A13 residential area. Now you are still pretending to be there on the grounds of safety concerns. Forcing people to force others is not a problem for ordinary soldiers or officials. After all, the "overall situation is the most important thing." But for Du Jin, who has become a "overall situation", the orders from the top are not for him. What irresistible decision was made? If Du Jin had a strong sense of resistance because of this incident, what would be the outcome of subsequent compensation and negotiations?
After a short period of weighing, the military government agreed to Du Jin's request and asked a nearby elite force with a high degree of reliability to carry out response and rescue. However, the request was that Du Jin wanted to follow Li Mengyan as soon as the rescue began. The troops evacuated from the threat zone as soon as possible, and after conveying the orders from the top to Du Jin, he felt a little happy in his heart. How could Du Jin not see that this was a sign of weakness and flattery by the Ganymede military government, since the other party already had this attitude? , Du Jin did not continue to ask for anything because of the previous unhappiness. After all, these dissatisfactions can be transformed into the rewards he received in the end. There is no need to question and argue at this time. Who makes the other party a political power? Since Du Jin still plans to stay in Ganymede, he still understands the appropriate concession.
Some people may view it as weakness or a lack of courage when they choose to back down rather than stand their ground in the face of aggression, pressure, or threats. However, in other situations, giving in can be viewed as a wise choice, reflecting relief and wisdom. Compromising does not mean giving up one's principles or values, but rather taking into account the complexity of the actual situation and long-term interests. In some conflicts, the two sides may reach a stalemate, leading to further confrontation and damage. In this case, modest concessions may help reduce tensions and promote reconciliation and cooperation.
When the corresponding troops arrived, Li Mengyan had already sealed the blood seal fragments in the center of the warehouse using sealing and isolation methods. Although Du Jin had already explained that this thing no longer poses any threat, as the only way for Ganymede to study the blood seal, its value It is absolutely immeasurable. When the corresponding troops were preparing to remove the remaining flesh and blood tissue in the facility, Du Jin, who knew that these flesh and blood tissues were innocent people whose consciousness had been swallowed by the blood mark and whose body could not be reversed, originally wanted to dissuade him, but After hesitating for a few seconds, he still chose to remain silent. Instead of letting these "people" remain in this world in this form, it would be better to give them relief. If they only lost their physical consciousness and still survived, Du Jin could still help them. Fight for a chance to be reborn in the future. ,
But now, leaving is the greatest respect for them. Seeing the soldiers using special equipment to disintegrate these flesh and blood, Du Jin sighed silently and left the facility. At this moment, the girl who had first contacted Du Jin before After catching up and trying to stop Du Jin, Li Mengyan's team immediately raised the muzzles of their guns, which made the girl stunned. Du Jin waved his hand downwards to signal everyone to put down their weapons. Li Mengyan looked at the girl for a second. , and then nodded. After the soldier put down his weapon, Du Jin walked towards the girl. Wearing an exoskeleton armor, Du Jin was already over two meters tall. For a girl whose height was within the normal range, he could only look up. Looking at Du Jin from a different angle.
After he discovered this, he squatted down, keeping eye level with the girl as much as possible, and then asked:
"Xiaorou, what's wrong? Do you need anything? Tell me and I will tell the follow-up troops."
Xiaorou shook her head, her shoulders trembling slightly, like fallen leaves in the wind, unable to decide the direction to move forward. Her lips tightened into a perfect straight line, just like her inner struggle. Her heartbeat became more obvious in the silence, fast and hesitant, as if telling her inner contradictions. Then, she took a deep breath, as if making a decision, and then asked:
"Sir Du, I...will we meet again in the future? I want...to learn with you...um...to learn how to save More people, okay?”
Du Jin may not know how destructive a protective and inexplicable sense of trust can be to an adolescent girl when a girl is close to despair. The other people who were rescued may just be grateful and fond of Du Jin. , but Xiaorou, who followed Du Jin to distribute clothes to others and comforted everyone, has been deeply attracted by Du Jin's persistence, seriousness and responsibility, not to mention, after Du Jin absorbed the remaining ghosts It's hard to say whether his abilities and strength have increased after the blue light spot, but he does have a detached temperament. Even within the exoskeleton armor, it does not block the exposure of this temperament, making people feel Du Jin itself should be like the protagonist.
But when a girl starts to admire, be curious and dependent on a man, it means that she is not far from falling. This is the birth of the first bud of love.
