Episode 40 (The main story is finished. Please look forward to the continuation of the first to fourth segments.)
"What you want is in Benjamin and his father, you understand? If you want to know all this, you'll understand that you have to use a different approach with him. Anyway, you've known him for so long, you can't possibly not know what he's most afraid of, right? I think Commander Benjamin understands that very well, doesn't he? What you've done is no different from what your father did back then."
"......"
"Ah, I forgot, there's one more person, no, two more people, two more people are also waiting for my call there, because they are both descendants of those involved in that incident back then."
"Have you thought it through? You want to involve these two people in this matter?"
Benjamin, reminded by the leader of the third-party force, finally understood who these two knew. Only Sassin was unaware; he was kept in the dark. He only remembered his mother's words: "Never learn from your father's behavior, because if you do, you will be infamous like him for eternity."
"Right? How about it? Aren't you even more eager to know?"
"You all step back, let me ask myself."
"Hey Sasin, when those two come in later, do you want us to lend you a hand?"
"......"
You can't let them come!
A gun, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, was loaded with bullets, and another bullet, also seemingly from nowhere, grazed Benjamin's thigh. The burns were merely minor and didn't prevent Sasin from continuing his interrogation of Benjamin.
"Why? Why did your father die by your gun the moment after you were laughing and talking to him?"
"?"
Benjamin was even more curious than Sasin about what this matter had to do with his own father. Little did he know that both Benjamin's father and Sasin's father harbored a grudge and a grudge against each other, and unfortunately, this happened when Benjamin's father was saving Sasin's father.
Why did you come here?
"I just came to see you."
"Come on, you think you're that kind? You're here to see the place called Sa-Sin, aren't you?"
"Wait, when did you become our CP leader?"
Three months ago.
"......"
"Speak, what do you want from me?"
"I'm going to throw up for a bit..."
Benjamin Grasshopper Peter was utterly disgusted by the man's words. To be honest, her self-proclaimed beauty was nothing short of nauseating, especially considering her own appearance. The only difference between Benjamin Grasshopper Peter and other men was that he never engaged in any kind of backstabbing or favoritism. She had seen too many doctors and patients inside; most were either dead, disabled, or injured, and no one could offer her a promise.
"A promise? What's the point of giving someone something like that?"
"You actually won't give it to me!"
"What good would it do? When a person dies, they can't take their promises with them. Reputation, position, aren't those all things? If there are family members, they can give some compensation. Plus, there are cemeteries. If the cemetery issue is just a bit repetitive, that's fine. But how can the dead understand these things?"
"Nonsense."
"By the way, I came to see you because there's something I've been keeping to myself. Do you remember what I told you about Sasin's more important matter that day?"
"I remember, but what does it have to do with this matter?"
"I finally understand why he was so preoccupied. But the reasons are beyond our imagination."
What's the reason?
"It's not good, because he didn't say it explicitly; it's just what I think."
"Oh, I see. Wait, you're keeping me in suspense!"
"No matter what the outcome, I think it's better to say it. There are only the two of us here. If you want to talk about it, you can tell Lena at the end, understand? My biggest concern is that Sasin's worries may not only involve himself, but also Lena and others. I came to you to prepare you mentally. Also, the CP leader you shipped three months ago is now completely broken."
"Nobody cares!"
However, Benjamin Peter's words also implied that his mission would likely end badly. If he returned alive, he would marry her; if he didn't, she would have to live on her own. Although his reasons for the agreement were less compelling than those of others, he was least afraid of dying on the battlefield. After all, what he feared most was the young girl before him; in fact, he was also afraid of facing Sasin.
Do you have someone you like?
"yes."
"That doctor?"
"Um."
"What a coincidence, I also like a military doctor."
"We wouldn't happen to like the same person, would we?"
"No, it's not the same person. The girl I like is the narcissistic type. Last time I asked her for help, she said something like, 'What do you need this beautiful girl for?' which almost made me throw up."
"......"
"See, the girl you like wouldn't say something like that, would she?"
"She didn't actually say that, but she didn't because she couldn't compare to the girl Benjamin liked in any way. Actually, they both have their own strengths and weaknesses. It's just that Lena lacks confidence. However, because of this, Benjamin thinks that Sasin being with Lena isn't a bad thing. And so..."
"?"
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I think I misread it."
"Didn't you sleep well? How come you made so many mistakes?"
"Yes, the situation is getting more and more serious."
“Our story was discovered by the girl I like. She said that she was the grave of the couple I was paired with. Moreover, her sixth sense almost exposed our relationship.”
"......"
The story between Sasin and Benjamin Peter is fabricated; the former's apparent devotion to the latter was more of a calculated manipulation. However, he later regretted using Benjamin Peter when he discovered the latter's genuine affection for him.
"I really didn't expect him to be so good to me. Originally, I was supposed to send Benjamin Strawberry Peter to a certain destination and then raze it to the ground, but I never expected..."
Benjamin Peter sensed someone following him, but he didn't react, knowing he was being framed. He never imagined the accusation was intentional and not fabricated, thus showing the accuser immense trust. He didn't even get angry when his comrades jokingly copied his partner's pairing, which led Sasin to consider speaking out about it.
"Ben, I'm going to a place because I've found something extremely dangerous. But Ben, you're going to make this a big deal, so wait for my signal."
"good."
Benjamin Kasugan Peter realized something was amiss a week after Sasin's place went there to investigate. At that time, seeing that it was almost time, Benjamin Kasugan Peter said goodbye to the girl he liked and went to the place where Sasin's place last disappeared.
"It didn't work?"
"......"
"Useless! You can't even handle something this simple!"
"Don't worry, the plan is going quite smoothly."
"Why?"
Look~
"This is......"
—Camera perspective—
"This is Benjamin Grassroot Peter."
Knowing that these people were all here, even Benjamin Grassroot Peter had to be extremely careful. After recognizing what Benjamin Grassroot Peter looked like, he became just as vigilant as Benjamin Grassroot Peter. Upon seeing the beaten Sasin, he immediately concluded that Sasin was unlikely to be using a self-inflicted injury as a ruse.
"How about it?"
"What do you mean, how about it?"
"......"
Sasin was hit directly, but the injury wasn't serious. Benjamin, on the other hand, was grazed by a bullet and was pressing his hand against the spot where the bullet had grazed.
"I advise you not to make any rash moves."
"......"
“If you make any rash moves, Sasin won’t leave unscathed, even though you’ve already broken up.”
"So what does this have to do with whether I'm with him or not, or whether we've broken up?"
He stayed with you because he knew nothing about you. Now that he knows part of the truth, he broke up with you to avoid getting you involved. But he never imagined things would be so complicated!
"Sassin..."
Don't call me!
After Sasin learns that her ex-boyfriend's father is the one who killed her father, she goes from disbelief to incredulity to utter incomprehension. Meanwhile, Benjamin learns from his mother that Sasin's father, Sasin, is a traitor, and he wonders how much his father has been hiding from him.
"......"
"I have something to ask you."
"Um."
Why do you believe my father is necessarily a murderer?
"Because I don't know who's been spreading rumors that my father is a traitor!"
“Your father was not a traitor at all.”
"What?"
"......"
"If your father really is a traitor, then you would never have been able to get into that prestigious university, Todwell University. It's the university with the strictest background checks, bar none. Whether your grandfather committed a criminal offense, or your father committed a criminal offense, or was a traitor, you, your children, and your children's children would never have been able to get into such a good university and get such a good job. To me, the conclusion that your father is a traitor is completely untenable."
"You...you must be joking, right?"
“This is not a joke, because no one is joking about your behavior or your father’s past behavior, because it’s not funny at all.”
Whether it's funny or not isn't for you to judge, nor is it for you to think; it's for me to judge.
"Since you've put it that way, why do you believe that a third party considers your father's actions to qualify as traitorous? What evidence do you have?"
“I don’t know, but I think what he said makes a lot of sense.”
"You're crazy."
"Yes, I'm crazy. Do you think I could stay calm in this situation?"
“I can’t calm down, but compared to you, I will still wait quietly for news. Because years ago, my father suspected that your father had been hiding something from him. If my father thought that your father was that kind of person, then your father should have killed my father long ago. So why did he go back to marry Aunt Lena and have you? Do you think that’s something a traitor would do?”
"......"
"......"
“Sasin, think about it carefully. Your father couldn’t have said such resolute things because of this. He must have had his reasons. If he really said what he said, we would be dead long ago.”
"Is that really how it is?"
"What?"
"The fact that your husband isn't a traitor?"
What came to mind?
“I was thinking about what my husband said to the border when he left. He is not him now, he wasn’t him at the beginning, he wasn’t him in the middle either, let alone at the end. It’s obvious that it couldn’t be him.”
"......"
"If your husband were really that kind of person, I thought you would have endured the humiliation and raised the child to adulthood before committing suicide. But you didn't hide it and leave because you didn't believe deep down that he was that kind of person, right?"
"But I don't understand why he would involve your husband in this?"
"Because he deliberately got involved with your husband, but he didn't say what he discovered?"
"Why is this happening...?"
"I don't know for now, but I think after all these years, he must be detained somewhere. But I still can't figure out what kind of place he would put his evidence in without any worries?"
Has he shared any places with you?
"No, he never shared it with me."
Having just denied Benjamin's mother's words, Lena now understood where her husband would hide such an important item. However, this matter required cooperation from Benjamin and his group. If they could retrieve the item, she would finally understand what that man had done to her husband.
"Ben, sometimes you're too smart, but you know what? Being too smart isn't necessarily a good thing, because you'll definitely die a horrible death the moment you find out the truth."
"I've come to investigate the cause of my father's death. How could he have died such a gruesome death?"
"......"
"Because your father is too much of a hindrance. He's always going against us. We finally had a chance for him to do something for us, but his actions have interrupted it. Sasin, both of your fathers should have died for ruining our plans. However, one fact will never change: Sasin's father was known as a traitor even before he knew us."
"Why? Why do you always think my father is a traitor?"
"Because your father killed the communicator. For his own selfish desires, for his own great cause, for his own selfish motives, he slaughtered their compatriots and even used them."
"?"
Benjamin didn't quite believe it, but if it were true, then he had still hidden it from everyone except himself, and from other things as well. But the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Because no matter how much he hid it, he would have sent something, but this time he hadn't. Now that he thought about it, his mother's comments were also subtly hinting at something.
"......"
As for Benjamin Peter, who killed the traitor and became the subject of various countries' condemnation, he was repeatedly resurrected from the dead. Later, Benjamin Peter directly discussed this matter with Sasin.
"Why did you kill that traitor?"
"If I don't kill him, do you think I'd kill you while I'm still here?"
“I am a traitor, to everyone.”
"At least that's not the case here."
"Why?"
"Because your ex-wife will be patient if you achieve your goal, and you should be the same in front of them, because if you don't do this, all your previous efforts will be in vain."
"You... you knew everything..."
"I know part of it, but you should thank Lena. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have known that you've been keeping so many things from me."
"......"
"You haven't fallen for me, have you?"
"Not interested."
"Ugh! You really are as unlovable as ever..."
"Um... you weren't like this when you were cute."
"I wasn't talking about myself, I was talking about you."
"cut!"
"However, if you really don't like Lei Na, I think you should talk to her. But if you do, you'll both think it's cruel because I've noticed that your feelings for her are more hidden in your heart than on the surface. Plus, you're not sure about this, so talking to her for a few hours isn't a bad thing. That's my thought, and it's my personal opinion. That's how my girlfriend sees her."
"......"
Sasin survived because he received an order to "clean up" a terrorist organization in the East. He thought he could leave after completing the task, but he didn't realize that Benjamin Strawberry Peter already knew about it, and therefore...
"What!"
"Squad leader, he... betrayed us."
"Why? Why would he do that?"
"......"
Who knows?
Benjamin was the deputy squad leader here, and he wasn't as formidable as everyone claimed. He simply wanted to explain one thing—his so-called terrorist organization wasn't a real terrorist organization in their eyes; they were just mediocre mercenaries. And they had no ideals, because the reason they risked their lives for Benjamin was that they knew what his ideals were. Benjamin's ideals were their ideals as mercenaries.
"This officer."
"Um?"
Do you think it's more likely he was wrongly accused?
"......"
"What nonsense are you talking about? The squad leader is a traitor!"
"......"
Benjamin remained silent throughout, but he understood what the mercenary was thinking. Because Benjamin knew him better than anyone else present, and when the mercenary spoke to him that day, he had also expressed a brief hesitation about his own guess.
"Benjamin, have you guessed something?"
"Um?"
"For example, is it that I have a crush on none of the people present?"
"I know I'm not interested in anyone else having a crush on me."
"......"
Benjamin Peter, recalling this, finally understood who his crush was. The only solution he could think of was to "cooperate" with Yussin to get the latter to pull it out from there, but...
"Vice squad leader..."
"I already told you, you have to call me 'Commander'!"
"It doesn't matter, you can call me whatever you want."
"......"
"I want to ask you something."
"Excuse me."
"Why are you telling us to have nothing to do with them?"
"in case."
"Just in case? Who else should we be wary of?"
These were all things Benjamin had thought of before he fell into a coma. Because a third party had guessed his suspicions with near-perfect accuracy, Benjamin was beaten. The person who did this was Sasin. Even though Sasin had Benjamin's side to verify the truth of his story, the third party produced the envelope from Sasin's place the next second.
"This is......"
"This is something your father left behind."
"What? This... how is this possible?"
The envelope was from a place where someone had taken it; it had blood on it, and the blood had even seeped onto the name on the envelope, so...
Why aren't there any names on this?
"Take a closer look."
"......"
Benjamin Sin's Place looked at the blood-stained part of the envelope and finally discovered his father's name on it. The letter contained information about Sin's Place's traitorous act, and like the name on the envelope, it was stained red with blood, revealing very little information. What excited the third-party forces was that part of it was so bloodstained that it was no longer legible.
What do you think?
"So, Ben, you still killed my father?"
"Sashin!"
"Bring me the hammer, the wrench, and the screws! I need to have a serious talk with him!"
"I've been waiting for you to say that for a long time."
——Twenty days later——
"How about it?"
"......"
"This is no different from the case of Benjamin Peter."
