364. This is an uncomfortable story about pretending to be 13
"You go on, I listen and don't say anything."
"oh……"
Koko looked at the scene outside the window, and after confirming that there was still some distance to go, she continued to tell her wonderful experience:
“From outside the cave entrance, that place looks like an ordinary natural cave.
Of course, in fact, it is really just a natural cave, with an area of less than ten meters in length and width.
However, after a series of experiments, if someone uses a special method to enter the cave, that person will disappear in full view of the public."
Okay, Xing Ke is convinced, the invisible boundary lines have come out, a certain little girl named Rikka will be happy, right?
"It was later proven that the disappeared person entered the underwater space that overlapped with ordinary caves in the real world.
There, people inside can see outside through the hole, but people outside cannot see inside.
It's as if there is an invisible barrier that interferes with sight and also interferes with people's sense of direction.
Because the way to enter there is simple, you just need to pass between two specific rocks. Other than that, what you enter is an ordinary underwater cave.
But the way out is very complicated. Even if you can see the companion in front of you, you are still spinning in circles and unable to get past.
In search of a way out, two bodyguards and I almost starved to death inside.
It can be said that it was a narrow escape..."
Did you ask for it on yourself? If you seek death by yourself, can that be considered a narrow escape?
"As for the prospectors who came in first, when we entered, they were already several starved corpses..."
In this regard, Xing Ke can only express condolences and resignation, but the situation Kou Kou mentioned is similar to several situations that Xing Ke knows, such as the magician's barrier.
But you need to see it with your own eyes to tell the specific situation.
"So? What did you see in that underwater alien space? Isn't it just an empty cave in an alien space that you can invite me to visit?"
To ordinary people, this kind of anti-scientific cave may be a great discovery of the century, but to Xing Ke, it is just a small trick to control the enemy.
Koko should know.
"how come?"
Kou Kou smiled mysteriously.
"But I won't tell you, but you will know it when you see it."
"……makes sense."
Xingke believed Kou Kou's statement and did not insist on asking.
After all, there are many shocks that can only be experienced by seeing them with your own eyes. It does not mean that descriptions in words and pictures can allow you to experience real life.
But one thing is...
"Does what you are saying have anything to do with the fact that you were disliked in Seiz?"
"..."
"..."
"...Ahem, I was just about to say that."
Have you forgotten? You must have forgotten just now, right? That must be the case, right?
"I was thinking about it when I first received the news that the prospector was missing and was preparing to come over in person -
[Since I have to go there, it’s okay to do some small business on the way]
With this in mind, I brought some weapons over.
But when I learned the news that the country had been split into two halves, I had just delivered the goods to the station."
Xing Mo couldn't help but smile in his heart.
I just want to see how you end up with it. If you provide weapons to one of the two parties now, your charge of "interfering in other countries' internal affairs" will be confirmed.
"I had no choice. I finally transported it here, but I couldn't transport it back, so I just pretended that I didn't know and sold it to the commander of the military camp closest to Saez."
Does this count as self-destruction?
"But it may be God's punishment for my mistake. This randomly selected commander is a very troublesome person.
It may be because the war reduced the number of troops, or for other reasons.
This commander actually used the reason "If there are weapons, there must be people who can use them, right?", he gathered everyone in the square of Sezi and held a voluntary recruitment event.
However, that is just a nice thing to say, but in reality it is just forced conscription.
More importantly, he actually roped me in to show up in such a public place to incite hatred, saying something like, "You must let the people know that you are a kind-hearted businessman who provides help in times of need"..."
Koko said with a sneer on her face.
“However, it actually means that [weapons suppliers have sided with his party], which is really hateful...
If he hadn't paid so readily, I would have killed him long ago."
"Does that mean he was killed in the end?"
The implicit meaning of "He was destroyed long ago" is "The time for his destruction has been postponed".
"Yes, three days after the delivery, the contract with the temporary town government was completed, and no one will care about his life or death as an agent."
Kou Kou's smile at this time was really scary, and she shuddered for a moment.
"So it turns out that because of this involuntary activity, you became...a public enemy?"
"Almost? But it's not that simple.
If you had volunteered to join the army, you wouldn't be able to recruit many people, right?
If the commander didn't want to be so explicit, he wouldn't be able to recruit many people. The credibility of this country has been reduced to the minimum..."
A trace of disgust flashed in Koko's eyes:
"So at this time, one group emerged, that is... the poor.
Most of the poor people are uneducated, easy to fool, and don't have many friends. If they do, they are also poor people with no influence and no background, and they are scattered...
What a good recruiting group do you think?
Whether it's coercion or inducement, will it not cause too much backlash?
Moreover, if you join the army, you can also receive basic education, and you can also receive military pay and military honors. It is a way out, isn't it?"
I have reservations about this. After all, during the war, common sense is no longer common sense.
"Do soldiers bring disasters or protect the people? Is it life or death? Is there a chance to come back after leaving home?
These topics are difficult questions for the entire world.
Especially for a child.
In all likelihood, that little boy just now is the so-called [War Orphan], right?
To him, I am the accomplice of the devil who took away his family...and you are the accomplice of that accomplice."
"Haha... isn't it? The business lady who provided the weapons?"
"You are right! Mr. the mastermind behind the dictatorship."
After the two taunted each other, they stopped talking, because Xingji could already feel that the car was going downhill, and it seemed that the destination was almost here.
Now I understand that the child’s thoughts are extreme and simple. Those who are harmful to me are bad people, the accomplices of bad people are also bad people, and the accomplices of accomplices are also bad people...
So when you face bad guys, you have to fight back. It’s such a simple truth, isn’t it?
"How about it? Mr. Magician, do you want to help the poor children?"
"...No, I won't meddle in other people's business."
Xingji turned his head outside the car and saw the fading sunlight and the steep mountain wall:
"The war process in this country has always been your domain. The weapons you provided broke the evenly matched situation.
Of the two parties fighting within each other, one of them will win out soon, and the war will be over, right?
