Volume 12: Cafe Heroes Chapter 23: The Smart Man
"Who is it? He looks so cool?"
"She's probably the only problem child... She had the lowest political score, barely passing. To be honest, I think it's really strange that she didn't go to the devil's side, so I'm not surprised that she came out to sing a different tune..."
'oh……'
Looking at the dark-skinned girl with a mocking smile on her face, Li Lin nodded as if he understood.
Vanilla had signed up for the closed training class in the Holy Light Department because she vowed to be the best. In other words, the girls who were truly determined and perseverant didn't care much about this kind of thing. It was more like a mockery to the girls who had finally climbed up. How could they be willing to go back home because of the danger after finally climbing up?
Besides, this is a world with magic. It is not a big problem to suffer an accident and then buy life insurance to get a resurrection spell. At most, you will feel embarrassed to see the photos of your tragic death posted online. It is a loss of soul at most, which is not even a threat to those who are persistent in their hearts.
Neither in public nor in private, there is no reason to retreat from the perspective of interests or beliefs. In terms of security, if the Holy Light cannot be protected, the others cannot be protected either, so basically there is no wavering. However, the remaining people are not the kind of people with strong wills and excellent results. It is better to say that most of them just come here to play, and then when they unexpectedly achieve some results, they think, "Ah, it seems that I can do it." So they retreat when they hear about any danger. This is also human nature and completely understandable. Some people want to retreat, and some people want to move forward, but that's it.
"But do you think there is really a better place than here ? Think about it carefully. Here you have food and accommodation, and you don't have to do anything. You can live just by singing and dancing. Where else can you go except here?"
“…”
No, it’s also a cultural front after all, right?
Although you don't care about this kind of thing, Holy Light still cares about it.
Looking at the girl who shrugged her shoulders and looked at the people around her with a mocking look on her face, Li Lin felt a little surprised about this person who opposed it.
The person who led the opposition was a bit strange. No one had ever thought that she could be the one to lead the movement. She looked gloomy and exuded a negative aura. Even the aura she exuded was incompatible with the Holy Light.
The kind of girl who, once you see her, you think she must belong to hell or the liberal faction, and definitely not the kind of girl who belongs to the Holy Light. She likes to wear black stockings, which is different from the white stockings of the Holy Light. She likes to wear the kind of complicated and gorgeous dark Gothic clothing, which is also different from the Holy Light. She wears a small and delicate earring on her ear, and her hair is also a bit messy, which makes her look a bit like an ancient visual band on Earth.
For Holy Light, which was purely forcible, this kind of visual system naturally fell into the category of pleasing but not pleasing. Moreover, this girl's thoughts on nature and the surroundings in the real world were just passing through. She was the kind of strange talent who could turn to the devil at any time. To be honest, George even planned to exclude her directly from the internal list. The moment she spoke, he subconsciously picked up the pen and planned to cross it out. As a result, after listening to the girl's endless words, he raised his head like a group of horses whose noses were pulled, and looked at the girl who was most incompatible with him with some surprise.
"I know that none of you present have participated in formal internal training. Although your scores vary, everyone thinks it is due to their own efforts. Now that you see the crisis and want to retreat, that's fine. But use your brains and think about it. If this place can't protect you, who else can?"
“…”
"This is the territory of Holy Light, the headquarters of a fanatical sect that hunts people all over the universe. Do you still want to stay on this planet?"
“…”
That’s what I said, but this isn’t support, it’s a threat, right?
Looking at the girl with dark circles under her eyes and smoky makeup and a sarcastic expression, George wanted to stop her directly, but after thinking carefully, there was no special reason to stop her. After all, what she said was not wrong. If the Holy Light Faction could not be saved, other places would not be saved either. The only problem now was that there was no way to determine where the malicious and terrorist attacks came from. If it could be determined, there would be no problem.
But the problem is that there is no way to be sure, and there are really not enough security personnel. Whether it is safety or financial considerations, it is inevitable to lay off some people internally. In this regard, they will not be awkward and insist that they are the Holy Light and must protect everyone. That is impossible because there is no one.
The main problem now is that we don't know who is trustworthy and who is not. Because in the ordinary world, there are too many people with dark sides. Unless they are crazy people who don't take the whole world seriously and don't even have the slightest feeling, they will definitely scream when burned by the holy light. But there are too many people who can be won over and supported. The work of distinguishing between enemies and friends is always a big worry for the holy light system. Just like now, no one thought that this girl who might betray to the devil at any time could clearly support them.
Because of this player who showed up halfway, the original idea of selecting a group of people for targeted and collective protection was ruined. Except for a few who were really afraid of death, most of them stayed for the sake of resurrection insurance. However, the girl looked like she had done a great thing, and looked at Li Lin and George proudly, so that the two of them could only force a gentle smile.
"Oh, that's right."
Before leaving, the girl who looked gloomy turned around and said to Li Lin as if she had just remembered something:
" They said that the next target seems to be those idols who were eliminated and are alone. If you think what I said has some credibility, just believe it a little. That's it. I still have to practice my instrument. Being in a one-man band is really tiring. Just give me more time to sleep. Bye."
