Chapter 376 Awakening
It takes three days for G1 to sail to the island. After Qianlandesheng's commotion, the sky gradually darkened. After dinner, Lu Kai left the deck and returned to his room.
After entering the room, Lu Kai found that Gion was still in his room.
When Qian Landesheng was about to do something indecent to Gion, Lu Kai moved Gion here for safety reasons, but what he didn't expect was that Gion never left.
Seeing Lu Kai coming in, Gion immediately stood up from his chair and said in a crying voice: "General Lu Kai, I... I'm sorry. I'm sorry for causing you trouble. I'm sorry."
"No need to do that." Lu Kai said nonchalantly, "Go back to your room and rest. I'm tired too and ready to rest."
Gion stood still, lowered his head and whispered: "I... I dare not..."
At this moment, she was no longer fighting the enemy on the battlefield. Instead, the majestic female general looked like a frightened child.
Lu Kai frowned and said, "You can't stay here forever, right? What will happen if this gets out?
"Don't worry, the Navy Headquarters will keep this a secret. You can continue to be a marine or return to G1. Qian Landesheng will not cause you any more trouble."
"I..." Gion still felt uneasy.
After a while, Gion apologized to Luke again: "General Luke, I'm sorry. I am ashamed that I have publicly questioned your justice so many times."
Lu Kai's expression didn't change at all, but he was instantly happy in his heart.
Not bad, little guy. You have a high level of ideological awareness. I used to hate you, but now I suddenly don’t hate you so much. Besides, it was Lu Kai who screwed Gion today, so Lu Kai didn’t want to go too far.
"Forget it, it's all in the past." Lu Kai said nonchalantly, "Everyone has different ideas and sees the world differently, so there are different kinds of justice. What's there to be ashamed of?"
Gion seemed to want to talk about this matter, and said: "General Lu Kai, are you willing to listen to me talk about what I originally believed in justice?"
“Original justice?” Lu Kai asked in confusion, “I’d like to hear more about it.”
"You know what? I once even thought that the Celestial Dragons were just." Gion said.
But as if he thought of what happened during the day, Gion immediately felt cold all over.
“After joining the Navy, we inevitably see things that outsiders don’t know.
"For example, the Celestial Dragons have a large number of slaves. Of course, the Navy Headquarters told us that those who become slaves of the Celestial Dragons are people who have committed crimes.
“Even if they have never committed a crime, they are the descendants of criminals and have sinful blood flowing in their veins. As the so-called descendants of God, they naturally have the right to decide the life, death and fate of these criminals.
"This has been promoted within the Navy for a long time, and many people believe this, including me."
Gion said with great shame: "But what happened today made me suddenly wake up.
“I suddenly saw many truths that I had previously ignored, and I understood things that I had not understood before.
“For example, the World Government has two completely different attitudes towards member states and non-member states. One is that they can be treated as human beings, while the other is garbage that is not treated as human beings at all.
"At that time, I naively thought that those non-member countries were traitors and evil.
"The World Government represents justice, but why do these countries refuse to obey its rule? It's really hateful.
“In the process of fighting so-called criminals, I actually heard a lot of arguments.
"Some of these countries simply cannot afford to pay the Heavenly Gold, and some countries simply do not want to be squeezed and exploited by the World Government, and believe that the World Government is simply the biggest robber group.
“I’ve seen a lot of similar situations, but I was like a demon before, thinking that they were just making excuses, that they were unforgivable criminals who went against the will of the World Government.
“I have also seen the evil deeds of the Celestial Dragons, but I also believe that as the world’s nobles, they have the right to punish any evil.
"In fact, I once doubted whether the Celestial Dragons and the World Government were really just. But people kept telling me that the World Government represents justice and stability, and that the Celestial Dragons, as descendants of the Creator, are noble.
“Someone else told me that even if there are things that the Celestial Dragons and the World Government cannot notice, the world can only be stable if they are stable.
"The newspapers also spared no effort to praise and promote the Celestial Dragons and the World Government.
"In the end, my mind seemed to be on a string, as if I had no control over it at all. Instead, I became more and more convinced that defending the Celestial Dragons and the World Government was defending justice, and there were many marines who thought the same way as I did.
“But now it seems that this is not the case at all. For example, the Valley of the Gods incident was not a punishment for evil, but a naked crime.
"The Celestial Dragons' once-every-three-years competition of hunting civilians for fun is all like this. Those countries that are not members of the World Government are invaded not because they are guilty, but because they cannot deliver benefits to the Celestial Dragons and the World Government.
"I even think that the Celestial Dragons and the World Government are the evil ones, and your people-first justice is the real justice."
Lu Kai listened carefully throughout the whole process, but his expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.
After Gion finished speaking, Lu Kai said, "It is not a good thing for a person to easily change his position of justice."
Gion shook his head and said, "Maybe it's not a change, it's just that I've become more enlightened.
"Because I feel that this world is a little scary. Maybe it was because it was too scary in the past, so I kept deceiving myself, thinking that what I did was right, and I became more and more convinced of it."
"Then do you know that your idea is dangerous?" Lu Kai asked.
Gion nodded and said, "I know that what I said was extremely treasonous. You can even arrest me for it, but I don't know who else I can tell except you."
"How can you be sure that I am willing to listen to you?" Lu Kai asked provocatively.
"Because you are a truly righteous navy." Gion said, "I am not, never have been, I just think I am righteous, so I believe you see it better than me."
"Let's end it here. I'll pretend I didn't hear anything. Go back and have a rest." Lu Kai was already a little impatient.
What happened today delayed his training, which was something Lu Kai could not tolerate. However, Gion had no intention of leaving, but continued, "I want to leave the navy and see the world."
"You don't need to tell me about this kind of thing." Lu Kai said somewhat dissatisfiedly, "But no matter where you go, I will never allow you to do anything that harms the people, otherwise I will arrest you personally."
"What if the Celestial Dragons and the World Government do things that harm the people?" Gion suddenly asked.
"You are becoming more and more outrageous, get out!" Lu Kai immediately ordered them to leave.
"I'm not going to deceive myself anymore. Do you want to continue deceiving yourself?" Gion insisted.
