Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Mr. Dorago lives forever in our hearts_1
That evening, Song Lan suffered an unprecedented blow.
The damage of the mind was not like that of the body, physical wounds would soon heal with time, but mental scars could linger for many years or even decades.
"If you tell me the number of Rebel Army personnel, the distribution of troops, the equipped weapons, as well as the specific time of the rescue operation, I will forgive you,"
Song Lan said.
"You have reached the end of your tricks!"
The prisoner felt that even someone as undisturbed as still water would lose their composure after encountering Song Lan—after casting his spiritual energy over the entire prison and seeing the unbearable scenes within, he instead pushed the blame onto her.
Perhaps the "Concerned Citizen" was not the hero that the citizens of the Seventeenth Region had imagined, but a person who enjoyed taking advantage of others, with an inherently dreadful personality.
"No, this is to soothe my wounded soul."
With a mask on his face, no one was aware of his identity. This allowed Song Lan to relax a lot, no longer having to tread on eggshells for fear that a single word would provoke others as he usually did.
He felt it necessary to remind the other party of something, "Regardless of your dispute with the United Government, the people of the Seventeenth Region are innocent."
Especially people like him who usually abide by the rules and stay in the office without causing trouble for anyone.
However, he wasn’t a naive child with fanciful thoughts. He knew very well that if the Foster Family were to hear these words, they would not only disregard the people of the Seventeenth region but would also ridicule him.
But the Rebel Army always prides themselves as the "righteous force seeking to overthrow the tyranny of the United Government," and the most mentioned point is their concern for the safety of the lower-class citizens.
On the other hand, the federal government claimed that the Rebel Army was spreading false rumors and used public media to release many pieces of evidence of the Rebel Army’s mass slaughter of "outside" residents.
Song Lan felt that now was the time for verification.
After all, upon meeting him, the prisoner claimed that all her crimes originated from the United Government’s atrocities in the "outside world."
If the prisoner before him was no different from the Foster Family, then he would act as if he had said nothing.
"There is no rescue."
With her head bowed, the prisoner suddenly spoke, "Even if a move is made, it won’t be in this city. You can be assured of that."
"I believe you."
Actually, aside from those words, he couldn’t think of any other way to respond to her.
After all, even if the prisoner provided misleading information, he wouldn’t be able to discern its authenticity. Hence, Song Lan decided to play along, believing in the principle of trust between people.
If there were indeed no rescue attempts, then Pero and his team would leave the Seventeenth Region in a few days. The long-standing feud between the United Government and the Rebel Army could just be left to be resolved in the First Region. By then, even if there is a prison break, it wouldn’t concern him who’s far away in the Seventeenth Region.
"Should I interpret this as a warning from Mr. ’Concerned Citizen?’"
The prisoner felt that she was gradually understanding Song Lan’s logic. His words might seem erratic, but they all served the same goal from the beginning, including the request to learn how to use spiritual energy—to cover the entire prison using such power was nowhere near an action a novice could perform.
Therefore, the dry heaving afterwards was just a show. How could someone capable of utilizing spiritual energy to such an extent not know what they would sense before spreading their abilities?
He wasn’t truly intending to exchange this for information about the Rebel Army, but as a warning of the kind of enemy they would face if the Rebel Army decided to act in the Seventeenth Region.
So, she gave him the answer he wanted to hear.
Song Lan had no idea about the prisoner’s thoughts. However, as a newbie, he was indeed nauseated during the process of spreading his spiritual energy. He realized that utilizing spiritual energy to sense the surroundings was a very dangerous action. One misstep could have him witnessing some scenes that could cause him great mental harm.
Even if he was not at the remote prison, but at home instead, he might unwittingly discover his neighbor’s secrets.
From what he observed, people in the year 2166 were all much more uninhibited than in 2020. Behind that door, you could never imagine what they were doing in their rooms.
On this matter, Song Lan could speak from his own experience.
Who could have imagined that he was preserving a little boy’s body and a pair of assassin’s prosthetic eyes in his safe?
On the other hand, today’s meeting was greatly fruitful for him.
Exploring and using spiritual energy undoubtedly opened a new world to him. He believed that what spiritual energy could achieve was not just about perception; the three aspects reflected in the appraisal might have a deeper significance.
It seems that he should put the cultivation of spiritual energy in his schedule in the future.
"Well then, let’s part ways here."
Song Lan spoke, "Regardless, thank you for your guidance. I will arrange for the tuition fee to get to you later."
Stop worrying about the tuition fee.
For once, the prisoner was glad that a leather hood covered her head, concealing her expression. Though she had developed a great interest in the "Concerned Citizen" of the Seventeenth Region, the current time and location were not suitable for conversation. If she stayed any longer, Pero and his team would soon discover this uninvited guest.
She figured Song Lan wouldn’t want to run into the ones escorting her. After all, Pero wouldn’t give him the chance to explain; he would treat him as her accomplice and eliminate him immediately.
However...
Should that scenario indeed occur, it’s still worth considering who would wipe out whom.
She knew nothing about Song Lan’s capabilities, but judging solely from the strength of his spiritual energy, he might well be a character of the same rank as the Boss Esinvig.
"Let’s part ways here."
Just as Song Lan was about to leave, she suddenly said, "Aishi, that’s my name."
She had a hunch that she might meet this "Concerned Citizen" again in the future. By then, she might not have to present herself in such an awkward state.
"Dorago Safron."
Song Lan thought for a while and ultimately brought up the alias of Mr. Killer.
Even though he had decided to send Mr. Killer into honorable retirement, and with the Foster family losing control over the Seventeenth Region, no one would urge Mr. Killer to go to work anymore. However, Song Lan wasn’t great at naming, especially foreign names. Dorago Safron was catchy and sounded like a threatening character.
"Dorago Safron is dead."
This was no longer a secret in the Seventeenth Region. After the city meeting ended, the local Law Enforcers had announced the death of Dorago Safron.
She paid particular attention to this news because in the "outside world," Dorago was a somewhat notorious assassin and often had business dealings with the powerful families of the United Government. He was one of their main targets of concern.
"Mr. Dorago might indeed be dead."
Song Lan did not deny this. Then, he added, "However, he will always live in our hearts."
