Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 351 Ogre Swindler
Is this a temptation?

37 had this thought, and she hesitated for a long time on the question of whether to be the commander.

As she saw it, it was unprofessional.

If the target is made aware of the possibility of an attack, the success rate of the attack will drop sharply.

But in fact, she didn't know how to make a choice. Her intuition told her that maybe this time the truth was on the sergeant's side.

"Don't feel emotionally burdened. When you return to the organization, they will overwrite your memory. Just remove the part about me, and you will forget all the details of our conversation."

Duan Mingyuan was not a narcissistic person, so he knew very well that 37's hesitation was not due to his feelings for the sergeant.

Only the protagonists in movies and TV dramas can make an emotionless killing machine feel emotional, but in the real world, there are other reasons why 37 hesitated.

"Move forward or go back?"

It was getting late, so he decided to give it a try.

It's all overtime now, and September is still waiting outside the door.

"Where will it lead if we go forward?"

37 asked blankly.

She knew very well that retreating might lead her further down the wrong path, but there was everything she was familiar with, her superiors, her comrades, and the ideals she had always been fighting for.

And ahead, there seems to be nothing except the truth.

The question is, does the truth really matter?

"That's up to you to discover. You have to think carefully. Once you take a step forward, you will become a traitor like me. Your comrades will become enemies, and they will hunt you down, just like you did to those traitors."

Duan Mingyuan reminded 37.

Among the 37 overwritten memories, there is a section dedicated to hunting down traitors. Many of these traitors were once her classmates, friends, and even teachers in the academy. They tried to play the emotional card with 37 when they were desperate, but they all ended in failure in the end.

37 took the initiative to request that this part of her memory be overwritten so that she would not have any unnecessary self-blame and regret.

All the memories proved one thing to Duan Mingyuan.

——This girl was ruthless when it came to her fighting. Even her most respected teacher could not escape the fate of having his neck cut.

He could only sigh that it was indeed a killing machine carefully cultivated by Ghost, and it was full of gold content.

From these memories, Duan Mingyuan also discovered the turmoil within the cyborgs. The group that originally pursued freedom and was unwilling to be enslaved has become a highly centralized society, and every commander of Ghost holds almost all the power.

Years of high-pressure rule have also taught most cyborgs to keep their mouths shut.

Because when the commander calls you a traitor, your fate is already sealed. Only those who have made outstanding contributions to the organization will get a chance to go to court to defend themselves.

Some people in the Inquisition raised their voices in the hope of awakening the majority, but for various reasons, these calls failed to have any desired effect, nor could they change the current situation among the cyborgs.

In Duan Mingyuan's opinion, 37 cannot change the current situation of the ethnic group.

Although she is the focus of the organization's training, she is not special enough to change the entire system. At best, she is more difficult to kill than other "traitors" and may require a higher price.

"Sergeant, I want to know your reasons."

After thinking for a long time, 37 did not show the thermal cutting blade, but asked seriously.

With the sergeant's performance in the academy, as long as he stayed in the organization, he would be at the center of power in no time. She was very curious about what made the sergeant give up everything he could have gotten.

Could it be that the sergeant was an idealist, a true pioneer believer? 37's serious and clear eyes made Duan Mingyuan feel extremely guilty, but this was the price he had to pay for manipulating other people's memories at will. Everything 37 knew about him was fictitious, so for him, there was no question of whether to give up or not.

But now is the critical moment to change 37.

Duan Mingyuan hopes that he can change the views of 37 and the Ghost Squad, so that he doesn't have to kill a group of "former comrades" who trust him.

"Because Doomsday is coming, I can't work with someone who only cares about immediate power."

After a moment, Duan Mingyuan came to a conclusion.

The highest level of deception is to deceive yourself.

He tried to imagine himself as the ghost sergeant, who would resign without hesitation when faced with a commander obsessed with internal struggles in the face of impending disaster.

Deliberately monopolize power, eliminate dissidents, and leave only one voice, which will become nothingness when the day of destruction comes.

"Build a safe haven and prepare for the future, so I must go against this mission. Eisenberg-Adler will stay in the digital world."

Duan Mingyuan expressed his attitude, "You will need this place one day, and you will understand when that time comes."

The conversation is over.

When Duan Mingyuan left the meeting room, 37 lowered her head, looking thoughtful. She did not express her thoughts until the very end, but the fact that she did not draw her sword against Duan Mingyuan showed her inclination.

As soon as he went out, Jiu Yue, who had witnessed the entire negotiation process through the Judge, came up to him.

The reason for retrieving the surveillance footage was that she had to avoid Duan Mingyuan and the ghost agent being alone in the same room, which might cause some sparks. In addition, Jiu Yue had to emphasize that 37's dressing style was really inappropriate. The clothes were tightly attached to his body, completely showing the outline of his body. It was no different whether he wore them or not.

This type of clothing is not very friendly to fox spirits, as there is no place to put their tails.

Fortunately, Mr. Mingyuan was consistent in his words and deeds and fully played the role of the sergeant Ghost.

The previous meeting also overturned the image of Duan Mingyuan that Jiu Yue had always had. She thought that lying was a trick used by fox demons, but Mr. Mingyuan was the hidden master who not only deceived 37, but also shook her faith in the organization with just a conversation.

"Mr. Mingyuan, I told you that you have great potential!"

September appreciated this greatly, she didn't know why she was suddenly so excited.

After careful thought, I vaguely realized that the thrill came from witnessing the process of a decent person turning into a scammer. No wonder there are so many works with "depravity" as the theme on those strange websites.

"You are the real ogre trickster!"

"There is no such profession in the ogre tribe."

“So this makes you even more unique.”

"September!"

"To!"

The man and the fox stared at each other.

In the past, this would usually be accompanied by punishments like "You have to stand and listen in this class" or "Get out", but now, as time went by, Duan Mingyuan discovered a problem.

It seems that there is no way to punish this fox demon.

That's why she becomes more and more arrogant.
