Chapter 49: Luxurious Things
Bang!
A deafening sound.
The building seemed to be shaking.
The glass that was not broken in the first explosion kept falling to the ground, shattering into pieces.
This is not gunfire,
The sound of gunfire was not so shocking, nor was it so powerful.
——This is an RPG.
"Don't be afraid to waste ammo."
"We lack everything except money."
"Fight! As long as you target the creature, don't hesitate to fight!"
One person directs, and the other person is responsible for carrying the RPG bombing.
The tail flames of the flames were swaying in front of my eyes, and the walls were as if they were made of paper, offering no protection at all.
Arno stood behind them, watching this scene calmly.
"Why are we doing this? What are their identities?"
Beside him, another person murmured.
boom!
There was another loud noise, and a bloody arm shot out from the bombed room.
By chance, the arm fell in front of the man, causing him to tremble.
"Evie didn't tell you the identity of the target?"
Arno looked at him and asked calmly.
"Yes, sir, we were just told to follow your orders."
"Really?"
There was no wave in Ya Nuo's eyes.
Anyway, he also didn't tell Evie the identity of the other party.
However, looking at this man's appearance, he seemed to be confused about the killing that he did not know the identity of the other party.
——This is a lack of knowledge education!
A qualified soldier requires not thinking but obedience.
There is no point in being confused.
They only need to pull their triggers according to the order. If they think about it randomly, there will be no other result except dereliction of duty.
"Don't think too much."
Arno sighed inwardly at the immaturity of the imperial soldiers, but on the surface he patted him on the shoulder affectionately.
"It's just a necessary sacrifice."
"For the Empire."
"For the family."
"Similarly, it is also for the reward after completing the task."
"It would make life better for you and the people you care about, wouldn't it?"
Arno took out a heavy-looking bag from his arms and handed it to the other party.
"Take it and go have a drink with your companions after it's over."
"How is this possible? Sir, she knows—"
"It's okay, I will tell her, just take it as an encouragement to your bravery."
Arno forced the bag into the other person's arms.
At first, there was some resistance, but in the end, it almost disappeared.
Arno felt it and smiled softly.
There is no confusion that money cannot give the answer to.
The correct answer is irrelevant at this time.
He looked at the man's eyes that were no longer confused and had a slightly happy expression, and felt very satisfied.
boom!
At this time, there was another deafening sound.
Debris of gravel and glass flew everywhere, and the walls of the room seemed like they had never been before, opening up his heart to Arno.
"Report! No living body reaction!"
The man in charge looked at the instrument in his hand and walked to Arno to report.
"Very good, you can confirm it yourself later."
"If there are no problems, you can go to the next room."
"If there is a problem..."
Arno's eyes looked at the man without wavering.
"You should know how to do it, right?"
"Yes! I understand!"
After a salute, the conductor spoke upright.
Arno nodded, turned and left this place.
He walked down the long corridor,
The space on the top floor is not small, with many rooms of different sizes connected together.
Some are used for corporate meetings, while others are spaces for private conversations.
When Arno walked here,
Accompanying him are only sparks that burst out from time to time,
And occasionally broken limbs flying to the ground.
Blood covered the walls, and the wall between the room and the corridor collapsed.
The flames even climbed up to the masonry, burning with some remaining gunpowder in the cartridge.
"I really can't bear to see this scene."
"It's just that, for my own good, this is a necessary sacrifice."
Arno felt a little intolerable.
Although his conscience was silent, his reason was trembling.
He is a kind-hearted man after all.
——
Below the building,
The top floor seemed to be collapsing.
Layers of rubble and bricks fell from the sky that merged with the night.
It hit the ground, creating deep pits one after another.
The underground soil in the open space was not thick, so sections of it collapsed.
As a last resort, Jim had to ask everyone to stay away from the building.
"Are they okay?"
Jim looked up at the top floor of the burning building, looking at the billowing black smoke coming out of it, his eyes full of worry.
"I'm back!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Jim.
A man ran over panting.
There was immediately a glimmer of hope in Jim's eyes.
"How about it?"
He didn't wait for the man to recover, and immediately grabbed his shoulder and asked.
"No, no."
"The police don't care about us at all."
"No matter what I say they don't do anything."
the man said.
"Damn it!"
"Damn Guard!"
"Damn Empire!"
Jim gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
"Such a big thing happened here, are they blind!?"
"The flames are soaring into the sky!"
He couldn't express his anger in words.
Similarly, he couldn't do anything except being furious.
For the first time, Jim felt deeply powerless about his own incompetence.
"Outside, you can see the flames here."
"But no one, whether civilians or guards, is willing to help us."
"They are all cold-blooded animals and don't regard us as human beings."
The man was also angry.
And, he was also powerless.
Of course,
No one knew.
Yvie had already arranged for someone to notify the guards not to take any action tonight.
Under the pressure of the corrector, the guards couldn't move at all.
This matter was not arranged by Arno, but was completely spontaneous by Arno.
If Arno knew, he would definitely tell Ivy that this was a meaningless move.
Even if the guards were not notified to cooperate, they would not take any action.
For a bunch of poor people,
no one is willing to sacrifice their lives.
Even if a few people occasionally feel guilty,
they are powerless in the overall atmosphere of their jobs and the guards.
Soon, they will put aside their consciences.
For the guards, no,
for the entire empire's administrative system,
having a conscience is an extremely luxurious idea.
Some things, even if seen, are not seen.
Some things, even if they can be done, no one will do them.
The guards have always served civilians,
not the poor.
