Chapter 950: Heart-piercing Thoughts

"I filmed the fight between the two of you. Luckily, you didn't use spiritual fire in the last punch. I'm glad I filmed it."

Korva pulled the small camera out of his pocket and held it up. "Well, I guess this should serve as evidence?"

Skarsson was silent for a moment, then said with certainty, "You didn't send a message just now."

"Ah...right."

Korva said: "But they will receive it, but there may be a delay due to the weak field signal. In fact, it doesn't matter even if they send it. They didn't send anyone over the first two times because of our insistence."

He looked at Skarsson and said with a smile, "This is all because of the independent investigation you requested, so even if I sent the message, I think nothing will happen."

Skarsson said in a deep voice, "So the two anomalies before were also caused by you, and after you arrived at Jibei Road, you kept wanting to move around. In fact, you wanted to find a suitable location."

Korva said, "Well... you don't think I can do all this by myself, do you?"

Skarsson's blue eyes fixed on his smiling face and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

Korva did not answer the question, but smiled and said: "You are recovering now..." Just as he said this,
Skarsson suddenly jumped up from his original position, and the spiritual fire on his body burst outward. Although his injuries had not yet fully recovered, he knew that his partner would not let him continue to recover, so he had to take action.

Korva looked at him coming, and he made the same move as Chen Chuan did that day. He did not make any defensive moves, but kicked him face to face.

If the original situation remained unchanged, Skarsson would inevitably be kicked, but this punch would definitely pierce his chest. When he was about to hit the affected area, he couldn't help but pause, but still hit it firmly.

But at the moment of contact, he suddenly felt weak all over, and the spiritual fire that had just erupted from his body suddenly subsided, and finally his fist just weakly hit Korva's chest.

At the same time, Korva kicked him hard in the abdomen, creating a hole in the area that had almost no protection, and shattered bones, internal organs and blood splattered out.

Skarsson was lifted up into the air by the force.

However, Korva did not let him go. His subsequent fists kept falling on him, but there was no explosion or roar. That was because he deliberately slowed down the speed of his punches and made sure that all the strength penetrated into his body without any leakage.

After the last punch, Skarsson finally fell from mid-air and hit the ground heavily. At this time, except for his head, there was almost no intact bone on his body, and the alienated tissue inside him had also suffered extensive damage.

But he still managed to utter: "Why?"

Korva smiled and said, "You mean I attacked you, but your attack on me was still affected by the ritual? And I was fine from beginning to end?

This is because…”

He walked over, squatted down, and looked at Skarsson. "I am just serving the interests of the investigation team."

Skarsson opened his eyes wide, and Korva's next words fell clearly into his ears:
"Do you think I'm acting on my own? You think I'm working for others, but you're wrong. This is an instruction from above."

“But…” Skarsson’s heart sank. The pain of the collapse of his faith was far greater than the physical torture. He spoke with difficulty: “Our agreement does not allow this!”

"Yes, that's usually the case." Korva stood up and said, "But you forgot, but you seem to have forgotten what the highest principle of the agreement is - all actions must be based on the primary principle of safeguarding the investigation team and its interests.

Well, let’s add one more sentence, under the premise of maintaining the safety of the world. Isn’t that what we are doing?”

Skarsson said with difficulty: "Someone deflected your agreement."

Secret instruments can be suppressed and deflected. In some cases, if the subjective judgment is slightly changed, the agreement may not take effect as long as the final result is good. This is actually exploiting a loophole in the agreement.

In fact, these loopholes are left intentionally by the designers. This is not entirely for bad purposes, but because people are not machines. Sometimes they need some flexible measures so as not to be too rigid in doing things, which will restrict their hands and feet.

However, this design has both advantages and disadvantages. In good cases, it can make things more efficient and complete; but in bad cases, it may be exploited by people with ulterior motives. The key is to see how people use it.

Skarsson took a few deep breaths before he uttered, "Why?"

"Why again?" Korva seemed to hate his question. "Skarsson, you are obviously a very smart person. You know it very well. Why do you want me to tell you? Do you still refuse to believe it deep down in your heart? In fact, you should have known the answer in your heart a long time ago."

He chuckled, "Well, since you want me to tell you, I'll tell you.

After the collapse of the Grand Alliance, the investigation team spent the first few decades putting out fires everywhere, investing a lot of manpower and resources in this, and we did receive a lot of praise.

But what did we get? In the past few decades, we have sacrificed more than 70% of the old members, all of whom were elites gathered during the formation of the Grand Alliance, true idealists!
All we have are a few islands recognized by various countries and some scattered industries that barely sustain our operations.

That is the legacy left to us by the Grand Alliance, but in reality it is just a few cages trapped on the sea. In name, we have always been responsible for monitoring loopholes in countries around the world, but in reality we are just a tool for political struggles among countries.

You know what? Tools!

It’s a free tool!”

After a loud shout, he took a deep breath, tugged at his collar, and continued, "The big crash is coming, very close. We have always preached the idea of protecting the safety of the world, and it is deeply rooted in our bones. There is no room for compromise.

So our final choice is only one, that is to rush forward, fight those things, bleed dry, and then bury all the last people, and those people..."

He pointed outside, "They were cheering and shouting in the back, but they themselves were hiding in the back watching us bleed to death!"

As Skarsson lay there, he said firmly, "This is what we should do."

Korva said sarcastically, "Yes, you think it's right. Do all people think it's right? My grandfather, father, two uncles, and three uncles, like many members of the Korva family, all died in the front line of the confrontation. But in the end, what was left for them? Except for a monument and a few bouquets of flowers, nothing. Now, except for us, who else remembers them?
Now it's almost my turn.

And what about those people? "

His face was filled with resentment, "Why should we use our own flesh and blood to protect them while they hide behind us?
I can not be reconciled!

We have done enough for them, now I should think about myself!"

At this time, he squatted down and said in a hurried voice: "Skarsson, cooperate with me, you will not die. The investigation team needs a central city of its own. We have proposed this request to countries around the world before, just to better maintain the safety of the world, but no country agreed to us. They don't want us to become an organization that can really target them. They just hope that when necessary, we can rush up and bite people, be sandbags in front, and be their stepping stones below!
This is an opportunity. It is probably the easiest to succeed before the big bombardment. It is also the last chance. When we take over this central city, we can resist the existence of the enemy and protect more members. The fire of the investigation team can continue. Isn't that great?"

Skarsson looked at Korva's expectant eyes and said firmly, "If there is a gap in the World Ring and I need to rush in, I will rush in without hesitation.

I exist to safeguard the stability of the world. I don’t care how others view me, nor do I seek praise. Instead, I exist to practice the lofty ideals in my heart and for the stability and prosperity of the whole world!

If I take what's in the hands of those I need to protect, then what's the difference between me and those beings?"

Korva loosened his hand and let him fall back. "Okay, wait here..." He looked at Skarsson who was gradually losing consciousness and said, "Our business is about to begin. Have a good sleep. When you wake up, we will have what should belong to us."

As he was speaking, a voice came over, "That doesn't belong to you."

Korva was startled, turned around and retreated violently. He looked at the figure who appeared at the door and asked doubtfully, "Who?!"

He didn't feel anyone approaching just now.

The figure stood at the door, with his back to the beams of light shining through the damaged gaps in the building. His face could not be seen clearly for a moment, only that his figure was very tall.

Korva saw who it was at this moment. His heart skipped a beat and his pupils shrank. "It's you..."

Chen Chuan walked in from outside, his footsteps echoing in the empty space, sounding particularly clear. He was wearing the uniform of the Director of Defense, his shoulder straps and brass buckles gleaming in the light, and he held a long knife in his hand. He lowered the brim of his wide-brimmed hat and said:
"Mr. Korva, when you want to do something, I need to remind you that you are standing on the territory of Dashun.

You’ve crossed the line.”
