Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

"Then what's your dissatisfaction with Grote?"

"No, Grote is an excellent commander, an excellent person in charge of local affairs, and has an outstanding personality. I have no dissatisfaction with him. If the enemy's gun is pointed at him again, I will still be willing to use my body to replace him. Take the bullet."

Ken, the head of the security personnel, behaved calmly from beginning to end.

When facing Mo Dao, the recognized spiritual leader of the Kelna youth, he seemed a little worried about disappointing the instructor.

Ken's previous actions seemed to validate his current words.

Judging from the emergency hemorrhage he had applied to Grote before, he did not intend for Grote to die.

The inquiry seemed to be at an impasse at the moment;

Ken was not bribed into betraying the Kelner youth.

Nor was there any dispute with Grote and his son.

But Ken's shooting at the Grotes and his son had already happened.

After Ken finished his answer, he fell into silence.

Mo Dao looked at Ken and probably already guessed some of the reasons why Ken chose to do this.

Next to him, Pars also heard something from Ken's words.

"Why is that, Ken?"

Pars looked at Ken again and still asked,

"..."

Ken lowered his head and then raised his head, looking at Pars and then at Mo Dao,

"Pars, trainer. Grote and I have no conflict, and Grote and his children are not guilty."

"But, instructor, when we take back the property belonging to Kerner from those external forces, are all the people in those external forces bad people?"

"We want to change Kelna, develop Kelna, and let the youth of Kelna control their own destiny. Is it because all people in Kelna are good people?"

"But we know it's the right thing to do."

Ken's expression during the conversation with Modao and Pars,

Something changed for the first time,

His expression became a little painful, and his handcuffed hands grasped the edge of the table tightly.

Neither Mo Dao nor Pars spoke anymore.

Ken actually said why he killed O'Connor and shot Grote,

- He thought it was right, so he did it.

"So, you think that shooting at the Grotes and his son is what should be done."

Pars said to Ken again,

"..."

Ken didn't answer directly;

Instead, he went back and mentioned another name again, Weibu.

"Pars, instructor, I wonder if you know anything about Weibu's son."

Without waiting for Mo Dao or Pars' answer, Ken said as if recalling,

"Weeb had a child before he joined the Kellner Youth, who must have been five years old at the time."

"But before joining the Kellner Youth, Wieb had lost contact with his children and wife."

"When the war was completely over, his wife had unfortunately died, leaving only his then very young child."

"In order to compensate, make up for it. Weibu provided the most favorable environment for his son. Weibu's depravity was initially largely related to his child."

Ken's relationship with Webb was indeed very good.

In fact, during the period from the incident to the execution, Weibu and his son behaved very quietly.

In fact, the reaction may have been even more intense than that of Pars, who was extremely angry at the time.

"Maybe it was Weibu's betrayal that made me a little painful. On the night when Weibu and his son were executed, I had a horrible nightmare."

As Ken spoke, his expression gradually calmed down from the previous pain.

It's like he's talking about something that has nothing to do with him, and continues to talk word for word,

"I dreamed that I also had a child. In order to avoid making the same mistake as Weibu's child, I had strict requirements and education for him."

"I taught him the history of Kellner, how to behave and do things, and invited him the best teacher in Kellner. Even the instructor was willing to be his godfather."

"And he is indeed well educated. In school, his teachers often praise him because he has knowledge and experience far beyond his peers. He has insights into many things that are beyond ordinary people."

"Then, everything went smoothly. He continued to study smoothly, even though sometimes he was not so willing to study, but I knew the value of education. Even, in the dream, I found an instructor to persuade him."

"After graduating from college in Kellner, he was outstanding and successfully entered the Kellner Youth."

"Then, he entered the position he is most familiar with."

"The security guard of the Kelna youth. He received good education and knowledge, which made him favored during the interview. Although there was a child with the same experience and education level as him, a child of a Kelna civilian was equally outstanding.

But my child passed smoothly relying on his familiarity with security work and the trust brought by other security personnel's familiarity with him. "

"Then he rose through the ranks on the security staff. He was outstanding and every accomplishment he made was remembered clearly. And every effort he made paid off."

"So, before I retired, he took over my position and became the head of security personnel."

"Everyone at Koerner Youth is very happy with him because he is really good."

Ken describes a nightmare that doesn't seem very scary.

"At the end of the dream, he said to me, Dad, you see, my efforts have paid off. Are you proud of me, Dad?"

"After waking up, I felt extremely scared, and I didn't know what I was afraid of."

"Later, I thought of another question."

"Pars, instructor, under the same assessment conditions, among the Kerna youth, among the personnel in charge of local affairs, why are there more people from the northern tribe than from the southern tribe?"

"If we ignore it, will its proportion increase? Until one day, the people of the southern tribe are squeezed into a corner again."

"By the way, in my nightmare, my son also told me that among the Kerna youth, he also met Bourne, Pars, and many of you children."

After saying that,

Ken stopped.

Mo Dao looked at Ken, his expression was still calm.

Pars next to him fell into a long silence.

All of Ken's words,

Actually, they were just describing a question that Pars had asked Mo Dao,

-Will one day, Kerna become like it was when Carlson ruled.

To put it more bluntly, it is the problem of the solidification of the hierarchy between people.

Just like the children of Pars,

even if Pars treats his children fairly.

But the children of Pars must receive the best education. Enjoy the most fair treatment.

With Pars as a father and even Mo Dao as a godfather,

the world he has seen since childhood must be much broader than most people in Kerner.

This seems to be a reasonable thing without any problems.

But expanding to the entire group,

the problems that Carlson once ruled seem to have reappeared.

It may not be the children of Pars,

but there must be such a high-ranking collective.

And it is fixed.

"... Water always flows to low-lying places, and mountains always gather on the peaks."

After a pause, Ken said a proverb of Kerner.

The meaning of this proverb is,

water may flow to low places.

But power and wealth always enrich in rich places.

"... instructor, is there an answer to this question?"

Ken even hoped to get an answer from Mo Dao.
