Chapter 525 Ellen, Ellen!
On their way back to Obsidian Camp, Opoles' squad.
Will-o'-the-Wisp was no longer as talkative as before; she realized that was a sign of immaturity.
Unable to control emotions, lacking long-term planning, and unable to manage the situation.
As Iserde said, she was too naive, even though she had died once.
Maturity often happens in an instant. She was a spoiled child of Iserlohn, and now Iserlohn has left her.
"Captain Will-o'-the-Wisp?"
Orpheus asked with some concern.
She had never seen Captain Ghostfire so quiet except when he was sleeping.
It seems that Major Iserde's affair has indeed been a great blow to her.
"I am fine."
Will-o'-the-Wisp shook its mechanical head and said quietly, "Go back quickly and report to the defense force. All the officers in our division have lost contact, and we must report the details as soon as possible."
The Opoles squad was under the command of Iserld, and above them was Major General Lorenz.
One was an undercover agent, and the other was executed in public.
It will be difficult for them to regain the trust of the defense forces if they do nothing.
"Yes, Captain Will-o'-the-Wisp."
Orpheus responded seriously, his eyes darting between the trigger and the other's, both somewhat worried about the state of the will-o'-the-wisp.
But now they can do nothing but follow orders.
"Captain, I'll ask Ambly about some things later."
Number 11 thought for a moment and said, "I'll try to ask the major about his situation then."
"Well, I'll trouble you then."
A flicker of unrealistic hope arose in Will-o'-the-Wisp's heart.
Perhaps Iserde is a double agent?
Perhaps she's been brainwashed by praise?
……
Meanwhile, at the school on the other side...
After watching Anbi's actions remotely, Su Chen and Ellen were both somewhat unsatisfied.
Although the enemy offered little resistance, it was far from being a super-exciting drama.
But several forces emerged in succession: a corrupt major general died, a bishop praised the missionaries for abandoning their faith, and a new company joined TOPS.
The situation is constantly changing, making it quite interesting to watch.
"She's amazing."
Eileen praised him sincerely.
She saw that Ambi was in complete control of the entire situation.
She remained unmoved by Lorenz's combination of soft and hard tactics, and her decisiveness made her want to applaud.
“Ambi was always very smart.”
Su Chen wasn't surprised at all.
She usually seems a bit dull because Ambi lacked proper upbringing as Zero.
But deep down, Ambi is very spiritual, which manifests outwardly as a strong intuition that always allows her to choose the right option.
You wouldn't normally notice it.
Eileen was very enthusiastic, as if she were discussing an idol: "She doesn't talk much usually. When I saw her on Sixth Street, she was always standing there in a daze."
Su Chen chimed in, "It's the same energy-saving type as yours, allowing you to focus your energy on more important things."
He felt that the two of them seemed to have finished watching a movie and were discussing the star characters in it.
Something feels off; Anbi is someone I know very well.
"You're really smart!"
Eileen was delighted and developed a strong liking for Ambi.
Thinking back to that face, I still feel a sense of familiarity.
Next time we meet, we must have a good chat.
But then her thoughts shifted, and she turned her attention to another matter: "Su Chen, what exactly is the story with Iserde? Why did she go astray, and why is she now turning to the light?"
"She is a bishop and the leader of the Praise Society."
This person is quite legendary; he was an outstanding officer in the defense force with a promising future.
However, driven by hatred, he joined the Praise Society and rose to become its leader, whose status in the underworld should be even higher than that of Major General Lorenz.
Now, at the peak of his power, he has chosen to surrender to Su Chen and relinquish all the power he has gained.
The back-and-forth journey of his mind makes one want to explore it.
“My opinion is that she didn’t betray anyone; she was just being herself,” Su Chen pondered. “When she first joined the defense force, she must have had ideals in mind.”
"Later, when the old church fell, she was betrayed by her superior and most of her comrades died. This fueled her hatred, and she was recruited by the Praise Society. But she never left the defense force and performed her duties excellently."
"He also used his own salary to subsidize the families of his fallen comrades, without interruption."
"Praise is a tool for her to seek revenge and make amends, but it cannot distort her faith. She is a terrible woman."
Many people are blinded by hatred, wanting to exterminate nine generations of a person's family and then three more, even contemplating making the world suffer. When they commit evil deeds, they think of it as legitimate and justifiable revenge, ignoring their own wrongdoing.
It's not that they're wrong, but such people often fail to do what they want to do.
Unlike Iserde, she always remained rational, never doing anything excessively bad, and always maintaining goodwill towards those who were not seeking revenge.
She is very rational, a rationality that can be described as a cold, demonic quality, a captivating madness.
"You seem to know a lot about this."
Eileen curled the corners of her lips: "However, I still want to hear her own opinion."
"Hmm? You want to save her?"
Su Chen was a little surprised.
He felt that Ai Lian shouldn't have been so easily swayed after watching a live stream. Even he, a superficial SP like Su Chen, would question the truth before making a decision.
Why is he so strong? Because he is SP Su Chen.
Eileen shook her head: "No, I'm just curious about the ending of the movie, whether it's good or bad."
Su Chen understood; it turned out that Ai Lian wanted to keep up with the updates: "I'll let you know when I'm done dealing with it, but how do you define good or bad?"
"..."
Eileen thought for a moment and said, "I think it's good that she was a bad person and then died. I don't think it's bad that she was a bad person but went astray and eventually died; it's just a pity."
"The truly bad thing is probably that good people die while people like Major General Lorenz live on."
She felt that, so far, the movie Su Chen had taken her to see was still very good.
The two presidents of Huijing Meike await severe punishment, while the corrupt major general was executed.
The Umbrella Corporation, which is about to make a huge contribution to the new Avery Tower, has become a member of TOPS and enjoys the benefits of the system.
It's so beautiful it's like a science fiction movie, because of Su Chen's style of transcending the mundane without being superior to it.
She found it very romantic and felt that it wasn't surprising that she had fallen for Su Chen.
Although he's a womanizer, loves to joke, and has his hands on the whole harbor, he's a good boy.
"Insightful."
Su Chen looked at Ai Lian with great appreciation.
At this moment, the homeroom teacher on the podium finally finished speaking.
The homeroom teacher was exhausted. The promising student he most wanted to save, Ailian, didn't listen at all and even went to watch a movie with her parents at the parent-teacher meeting.
It's heartbreaking! It's because of parents like these that Eileen's grades have been ruined!
Next time that wolf-like man comes to the parent-teacher conference, he'll definitely have a good talk with him.
After the parent-teacher meeting, the students were packing their things, as a short holiday was coming up – a cause for celebration!
Eileen simply handed over a few homework assignments, then said goodbye to Ruby, Rin, and the others, promising to see them again during the holidays.
She was very happy; today was one of the few parent-teacher conferences she wasn't nervous about at all, and she would ask Su Chen to attend again next time.
Moreover, Su Chen was very sensible and didn't mess around with her at school or cause any messy rumors.
"Should we go back to your home, or to mine?"
Su Chen and Ai Lian walked side by side to the parking space, and Su Chen stretched lazily.
"Of course, I'll go back to my home."
Eileen rolled her eyes: "Go to your place, why would I want to squeeze in with you?"
"I can't ask for it."
Su Chen opened the car door for Ai Lian and said with a smile, "We're an old married couple, so we should live together."
Using space-folding technology, his room is like a hidden paradise, capable of housing another million people. Giving Ellen a room is a piece of cake.
He would be quite willing to lie down together with her.
