Chapter 192: Fifty-five only death can terminate
Yong Xin?
Upon hearing this name, Ina's pupils slightly contracted, and she immediately became alert.
Yong Xin also noticed the change in Ina's expression and smiled faintly, “It seems you know me.”
“Of course.” Ina responded in as calm a tone as possible, “It's hard not to know.”
Ina certainly knew Yong Xin.
Long ago, she had heard about him from a few members of the Devil's Army, saying that this person was a close confidant of Bishop Hallman from the Fourth District, likely to become the next bishop.
The Devil's Army was inherently secretive by nature, and messages from the outside world generally didn't reach them easily, but Yong Xin's name still circulated among them, saying he had the power to reassign members of the Devil's Army to the rear, which was a significant privilege. Thus, many knights from the Devil's Army sought to visit him.
However, no one could clearly state what exact position Yong Xin held.
This made Ina somewhat suspicious of Yong Xin, but she wasn't very concerned about the outside world, so she didn't pay much attention to it; after all, she didn't want to be reassigned, so she had never met him.
But now, at this moment, she encountered this legendary figure. How could she not be vigilant?
“Hmm… from your reaction, it seems I don't have a very good reputation in your mind,” Yong Xin asked with a smile, “Is it my delusion or do you indeed have some complaints against me?”
Although Ina wasn't very emotionally intelligent, she wasn't going to speak the truth at this moment, so she denied it, “Not at all, this is our first meeting, why would I have complaints about you?”
“Ah, is it our first meeting?” Yong Xin revealed a meaningful smile, “Yes, indeed, it is our first meeting.”
Yong Xin's smile made Ina uncomfortable.
She felt the smile was fake, like a piece of skin draped over the skull that didn't belong to this body.
…Why did she feel this way?
Ina shook her head, dismissing these strange thoughts from her mind, and then spoke coldly, “Do you need something from me?”
“I don't need anything,” Yong Xin was still smiling, “I just came to the archive room to check some documents, then I found you. Honestly, I was surprised; after all, it's already late, so I just wanted to see who was so diligent, then…”
As he spoke, he picked up one of the documents scattered on the desk, shaking it in front of Ina.
“I found the documents you are checking quite interesting. Coincidentally, I also know a little bit about this area, so I couldn't help but answer you, if I offended you, I apologize.”
Ina didn't care about the offense; her focus was on Yong Xin's claim to know a little about this matter.
At that moment, she recalled Yong Xin's first sentence in response to her own mumbled, “Is there really such a situation?”
Thus, despite not wanting to interact more with Yong Xin, Ina asked after a slight hesitation, “How much do you know about this? Can you tell me?”
“Of course,” Yong Xin said with a smile, “I am honored to provide some trivial help to the only female member of the Devil's Army.”
Although they had never met, Ina wasn't surprised that Yong Xin knew her identity, and she asked directly, “You said earlier that such symptoms exist. Have you seen them?”
“Hehe, yes.” Yong Xin sat opposite Ina, flipping through some old documents, “Because of the development of pollution control equipment, there have been very few polluted civilians or knights in the past ten years, so your doubt about the reality of these symptoms is quite normal, since you haven't seen them.”
Yong Xin paused, then continued with a smile.
“Of course, I have seen them, and I have had interactions with him, but due to various reasons, his case was not recorded.”
Hearing this, Ina felt a jump in her heart and sat down, staring directly into Yong Xin's inscrutable eyes.
Thus, the conversation began.
“Why wasn't it recorded?”
“I'm sorry, I can't answer that; it's confidential.”
“Then, who is he to you?”
“I can only say, he was a friend.”
“…What were his symptoms like?”
“Just like those documents you were looking at,” Yong Xin replied with a light laugh, “It felt like there was another person inside his body.”
Ina frowned slightly.
She felt Yong Xin seemed to have said a lot but also nothing at all. Either the questions were unanswerable or the answers were in the documents; what else was there to inquire about?
“Hehe, Miss Ina, I really can't talk about confidential matters,” Yong Xin seemed to perceive Ina's thoughts and continued with a smile, “But what I can say certainly isn't limited to what's recorded in these documents, because I had a long face-to-face conversation with that person. I can see many things that others can't and know many things that won't be recorded.”
Ina raised an eyebrow, “Such as?”
“Such as… Miss Ina, have you ever heard this saying?” Yong Xin said, “Today's you, and yesterday's you, are not the same person.”
“…What kind of bizarre saying is that?”
“Hehe, it does sound abstract, but we can make it more concrete,” Yong Xin added, “For instance, when you were very young, you liked red, but as you grew older, due to certain events, you started to dislike red and preferred black instead. So, are the you who liked red and the you who likes black the same person?”
