Chapter 100: Indiscriminate Terrorist Attack (Part 1)

After the Moralia incident ended, the four Gundams returned to their respective hiding places.

The next day, terrorist attacks occurred consecutively in seven major cities around the world. The perpetrators specifically chose crowded places to plant time bombs, causing a large number of civilian casualties.

After the large-scale terrorist attacks, the international terrorist network announced responsibility, claiming that if Celestial Being did not stop its armed interventions and abandon all armaments, they would continue to carry out indiscriminate terrorist attacks.

This caused great panic in society, and the families of the victims couldn't help but think: if only there were no such thing as Celestial Being.

Social public opinion also began to lean heavily toward condemning Celestial Being.

"It was clearly casualties caused by terrorists, so why does everyone blame Celestial Being?" Shihe complained. She had just finished browsing various news reports and felt very dissatisfied with the current trend of public opinion.

"Because not everyone can be as calm and possess as correct logical thinking as you, Shihe-jie." Wang Liumei, sitting next to her, interjected: "Should we go find the terrorists for what they did?"

"The families of those victims won't think that way. They need a sufficiently obvious outlet for their resentment. This outlet won't be the government that failed to protect them, nor will it be the terrorist organization that carried out the act, but rather us, Celestial Being."

"Perhaps you, Shihe-jie, will think they are ignorant and will think this situation is absurd, but this is indeed reality."

"How could it be..." Shihe found it hard to accept for a moment.

To her, such thinking was too absurd. After all, most Coordinators were very rational, and this chaotic logic was very strange in her eyes.

Shihe cast a questioning gaze at Li Boyong. Li Boyong rubbed his nose and tried to explain more simply: "Let's put it this way: because of the terrorists' announcement, people can't help but think that if Celestial Being hadn't appeared, they could still be living their daily lives as before."

"In the past, although terrorist incidents occurred from time to time, they didn't dare to attack major cities so blatantly. At that time, when a small number of victims appeared, people would only blame the victims' bad luck, or the government's insufficient security measures, or the government's tough international attitude that led to the attack."

"But now it's different. It's the appearance of Celestial Being that has brought changes to the daily life that was still relatively calm in the past. Celestial Being is the root cause of the change."

"So if any misfortune occurs because of this change, then it's all the fault of Celestial Being, who sought the change."

"I'm getting a bit confused myself..."

Li Boyong scratched his head, feeling he was getting a bit dizzy from his own explanation.

Wang Liumei and Shihe didn't feel Li Boyong was wrong. The two looked at each other, both thinking that what Li Boyong said very likely represented the thoughts of most of the public.

"Your analysis is actually quite good; it makes me look at you with new eyes."

Wang Liumei looked Li Boyong up and down, showing an expression of "one should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation."

Li Boyong: "..."

For some reason, being complimented by Wang Liumei, he couldn't be happy at all.

This guy, how much did she look down on me before?

Li Boyong turned off the TV screen with dissatisfaction and said to Wang Liumei: "Alright, hurry up and go do your intelligence work. Don't keep occupying my spot at a time like this."

Recently, Wang Liumei had been sticking to Shihe. Under her deliberate flattery, the two were now as close as best friends, leaving Li Boyong with no chance to get close to Shihe. This had caused Li Boyong to accumulate a lot of resentment toward Wang Liumei, and even watching Wang Liumei's daily outfit show couldn't make his mood beautiful.

"Ara~ are you jealous?" Wang Liumei hugged Shihe tightly, rubbing her small face against Shihe's cheek happily, then looked at Li Boyong with a show of force: "As for intelligence, Hong Long is currently collecting it with all his might; there's no work for me for the time being."

"Liumei, too close..."

Shihe's face turned slightly red. She saw Li Boyong's dissatisfied gaze and pushed Wang Liumei symbolically.

"No, I like Shihe-jie the most."

Wang Liumei didn't care about Li Boyong and continued to hug Shihe and play around.

"Wait, Liumei, this is so itchy..."

Liumei?

Li Boyong's eyebrows jumped. So intimate?

Shihe still hasn't called my nickname yet!!!

What's going on with you two?

Are you trying to go yuri?

I'm not into that!!!

Wait, Wang Liumei secretly lifted a corner of Shihe's clothes while playing, revealing Shihe's fair and flat abdomen.

Li Boyong wiped his drool excitedly. Oh my god, so fragrant...

Wang Liumei had done it on purpose. Now, seeing Li Boyong's expression, she smiled contemptuously in her heart.

Heh, men!

"Miss, there are intelligence results..."

Hong Long walked into the living room. He had wanted to report, but seeing Wang Liumei clinging to Shihe's side, showing that little girl's posture, he was stunned.

He remembered the last time he saw his sister show this expression was when she was very young.

Facing Hong Long's sudden arrival, Wang Liumei sat up straight, feeling very embarrassed. She tidied her clothes and expression, returned to her usual dignity, and then, as if nothing had happened, stood up and said: "Okay, I understand."

Wang Liumei followed behind Hong Long toward the underground intelligence communication room. Halfway there, Li Boyong's burst of laughter suddenly came from behind.

Her face turned blue and white, and in the end, she stomped her feet, deciding not to argue with Li Boyong. After all, business was important.

Li Boyong stopped laughing, and after Shihe had tidied her clothes, he reminded her in a low voice: "Shihe, it's not that I'm dark-hearted, but that young lady really doesn't want to appear as simple as she does in front of you."

Seeing Li Boyong's serious expression, Shihe knew he was serious.

"I know." Shihe nodded and explained: "Actually, it's not easy for her either, taking on such heavy responsibilities at such a young age, so it's inevitable that her thoughts are sometimes deep."

After a pause, Shihe continued: "But I think her nature is not bad."

Seeing Li Boyong show a dismissive expression, Shihe showed a somewhat ingratiating expression: "You also know I'm an only child, and I've been dependent on my mother since I was young. Every time I see my mother loving me so much, I wish I could have a younger sister, so I could love her just like my mother loves me."

Her meaning was very clear; she was somewhat treating Wang Liumei as a younger sister............

"............" Li Boyong was speechless.

The first time Shihe showed such an ingratiating expression to him was to keep him from stopping her from treating Wang Liumei as a younger sister.

He was moved by Shihe's kindness, but couldn't help but feel a bit jealous.

However, the communicator in the living room soon rang with Hong Long's voice: "You two, please come to the basement. There are results. Miss says you might need to prepare for standby."

Li Boyong and Shihe looked at each other, seeing that it might be our turn to go on stage again. ===== CHAPTER 101 =====
