Chapter 91: Refusing Exclusive

~8 min read 1,438 words

"People of the world, we are the private armed organization Celestial Being, possessing the mobile weapon Gundam. Our purpose is..."

"Repeat, we are..."

The bald gentleman with a monocle sat on the sofa, leaning on a cane, declaring the purpose of the Celestial Being organization to the world with a serious expression.

Since Celestial Being's Gundam intervened in the AEU's new MS launch conference and the Tianzhu terrorist attack, this footage had been made public to the world, declaring that the Celestial Being organization had officially stepped onto the world stage.

Within a few days, this footage appeared on screens all over the world.

It was playing on the super-large screens hanging on office buildings, on the TV screens of every household, on the mobile phone screens of office workers, and even widely circulated in the army.

"That was really a gorgeous debut."

"But eradicating war or something, isn't this talking in sleep?"

"If this organization can maintain combat power that surpasses the whole world, maybe it's possible."

"Impossible... impossible..."

"Besides, using force to eradicate war or something is simply self-contradictory."

"Now that you mention it, that's true..."

Tianzhu garrison, canteen.

The canteen's screen was playing the footage released by the Celestial Being organization. Li Boyong and Shihe were dining while listening to the arguments of the soldiers around them, and the two looked at each other, seeing a hint of a smile in each other's eyes.

These arguing soldiers probably couldn't imagine that there were two Celestial Being intelligence agents right next to them.

Just when the atmosphere of the argument was getting more and more heated, Lieutenant Colonel Sergei Smirnov, known as the "Russian Bear", appeared at the entrance of the canteen.

The originally slightly noisy arguments stopped abruptly, and the few who spoke the loudest hurriedly scattered with guilty consciences, each carrying their meal trays to find a quiet corner to play ostrich.

Lieutenant Colonel Sergei didn't pay attention to those arguing, scanned the circle, found his target, and walked slowly to the table of Li Boyong and Shihe.

"Lieutenant, Second Lieutenant, can we talk for a moment?" Lieutenant Colonel Sergei said.

Li Boyong probably knew what the Lieutenant Colonel wanted to talk about, so he nodded in agreement and followed Lieutenant Colonel Sergei out of the canteen with Shihe.

After the three left, the soldiers in the canteen discussed in a low voice again.

"Hey, why did the Lieutenant Colonel look for those two, and even ran over personally."

"Who knows..."

"I know this. It is said that after the previous exercise, the Lieutenant Colonel appreciated the operation technology of the two, so he wanted them to become direct subordinates."

"Really..."

"I'm not sure about this."

"However, those two are really a bit unsociable. No matter what action, they are in groups of two. If it's not necessary, they don't have any contact with others at all."

"That's natural, if I had such a beautiful girlfriend, I would also treasure her every day, how could I let you bastards get close."

"That's right, Second Lieutenant Hafunis is really beautiful..."

"Haha, this guy is in spring."

The discussion of the soldiers in the canteen quickly went off-topic with the change of topics, and began to develop in a strange direction.

However, Li Boyong and Shihe, who had left, couldn't hear these idle gossips, and followed Lieutenant Colonel Sergei all the way to his office.

"Don't be polite, sit down." Lieutenant Colonel Sergei sat in his position and said kindly: "This is not a formal conversation, it's just that you might have heard the wind that I will be transferred to the ground, so before leaving, I want to ask privately about your answer to that matter. After all, I really appreciate your ability."

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant Colonel, I might have to disappoint you." Li Boyong replied.

"Can I hear the reason?" Lieutenant Colonel Sergei adjusted his sitting posture.

"To be honest, we admire the Lieutenant Colonel's ability." Li Boyong secretly cheered up, knowing it was time to show his acting skills.

He looked at Shihe hesitantly and continued: "However, I heard that the military top brass is very interested in the Celestial Being organization's mobile weapon Gundam, and may organize a corresponding special combat unit, and the Lieutenant Colonel happened to be transferred at this time, so I think it is very likely that the Lieutenant Colonel will lead this unit."

"So?" Lieutenant Colonel Sergei pulled the chair, making himself closer to the desk, "Isn't this just a good opportunity for you to exert your ability?"

"Please forgive me for speaking bluntly." Li Boyong said: "I don't think it's an opportunity. I once witnessed the performance of the Gundam. That is not an enemy that can be confronted at the current stage."

Lieutenant Colonel Sergei frowned, seemingly a little dissatisfied, "So, you are afraid."

"Yes." Li Boyong said bluntly, "The purpose of my living now is just to live well with Shihe, nothing more, so I don't want to participate in that kind of danger."

"???"

Shihe blinked, looked at Li Boyong in surprise, why did he suddenly say this.

"Lieutenant, although it's a private conversation, this kind of remark really lacks the backbone of a soldier." Lieutenant Colonel Sergei increased his tone a bit.

But Li Boyong wasn't afraid. He knew the other party's upright character, so he continued to perform, "I believe the Lieutenant Colonel should also be able to see that there are problems with my and Shihe's resumes. As for what exactly I and Shihe have experienced, please forgive me for not being able to tell the specific details, but you should be able to guess something."

He performed vividly while continuing to mislead the other party, "I can say loudly that I and Shihe have made enough contributions to the motherland and paid enough price."

Speaking of this, Li Boyong became excited, "For the sake of the motherland, I have lost a lot, a lot. Now the only thing left is Shihe, so I don't want to see her suffer even a little bit of harm, or even a little possibility."

"If it weren't for some reasons that I couldn't quit the army, I would have already taken Shihe back to daily life."

Hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Sergei followed Li Boyong's statement and made up a pile of moving plots in his mind.

"Sigh..."

He sighed and said in a low voice: "I understand. Since that's the case, I won't force you anymore."

"Thank you for your understanding." Li Boyong saluted, "If there is nothing else, I will retire first."

Sergei waved his hand without answering, and Li Boyong and Shihe exited the room.

Shihe glanced at Li Boyong with a subtle look and whispered: "I suddenly feel that I can't believe a single punctuation mark of what you said."

Li Boyong, while awarding himself a small golden man in his heart, said proudly: "How can that be, isn't this to deal with that guy?"

"Is it?" Shihe curled her lips, "I remembered the time you tricked me into throwing the gun again."

Li Boyong: ".............."

"And I really admire upright soldiers like Lieutenant Colonel Sergei. It always feels like there is a loss in my heart to lie to him like this." Shihe said in a low voice.

In fact, Li Boyong was the same, but because he knew the plot and had his own concerns, he explained: "You have also seen the performance of the Gundam. We two participate in combat actions against the Gundam, and then fight the Gundam to the death?"

"Don't you think that would be very strange?"

Li Boyong didn't lie about this point. Although he had considered whether to mix into the soon-to-be-established anti-Gundam unit "Overflags" to provide key information for Celestial Being, and maybe he could pilot an GN-X with a pseudo-solar furnace in the future.

But just thinking about having to pilot a Tieren to participate in the battle against the Gundam like that, he felt absurd.

What if I get shot down by the Gundam, where should I cry?

Although he joined Celestial Being, he really didn't want to risk his life for Celestial Being.

To sum up, the risk of joining Overflags was too great.

Moreover, the key was that he had already hugged Wang Liumei's thigh, and could completely adopt a safer way of fishing in troubled waters, without having to go head-on to fight this wave.

Li Boyong said so, and Shihe also expressed understanding.

Indeed, it's not funny for them, two intelligence agents, to be killed by the Gundam on the battlefield. ===== CHAPTER 92 =====
