Chapter 394 Mental Trauma
Diego took the photo and looked at it, his eyes immediately became moist.

"I heard Ryan say that you are not in a good mood, is it because of Captain Felton?" Cang Ling asked with concern.

Diego was silent for a while, and asked: "Squad leader, if it were you, what would you choose? Would you kill those slaves too?"

Cang Ling thought for a while, and replied: "Yes."

"Why?" Diego asked in surprise.

"The reason is the same as that of Captain Felton. Keeping them will bring hidden dangers to Xinghai. Xinghai can no longer take additional risks at present."

"But, but they are slaves, not people like Miles or the leader, are they? They don't even know how to read..."

"I know all of this. They're young, they've probably never committed a crime, they haven't even been in a relationship. Their death will scar loved ones for life, and maybe completely destroy some families. However, none of these Change the fact that they are a potential threat."

"Squad leader, when did you become like Captain Felton." Diego's eyes dimmed, "You were not like this before."

"What was I like before?"

"You used to be very compassionate and moral. I always think you are the person with the most sense of justice in our Class 13, except for Colin."

Hearing this, Cang Ling smiled wryly.

"Diego, let me ask you a question. Who do you think is righteous and who is evil between us and Night Demon?"

"Do you need to ask? The night devil is the apostle of the shadow giant, and we are the descendants of the light giant. Of course, they are the embodiment of evil."

"Night devils have lived in this world for tens of millions of years. To be precise, they are the natives of this land, and we are the invaders who plundered their territory."

"No, that's not right! These territories belong to us humans! We wiped out the Night Demon just to protect ourselves..." Diego was anxious.

"You think this way because you stand on the human side. If you were a night devil, you definitely wouldn't think so."

"Squad leader, what exactly do you want to say?" Diego was a little annoyed.

"I just want to tell you that morality is meaningful only among the same interest groups. When the interests are different, morality will be like air."

Hearing this, Diego froze.

"Hurry up and adjust your mood! If you have been so depressed, the psychological team will intervene. If your mental evaluation fails, they will disqualify you from fighting." Cang Ling patted Diego on the shoulder.

"Zero, you're an adult now." Tears welled up in Diego's eyes when he said this.

Seeing his expression, Cang Ling felt a sudden pain in his heart.

"People have to grow up after all, we can't live in an ivory tower all our lives." Cang Ling said softly.

"Then what is the reason we are desperate? Is it to obey and maintain this cruel world?"

"No, of course not! We risked our lives and risked our lives just to change this cruel world. But we must survive before we can talk about change. Before the first goal is achieved, all other goals must be for it. Concession. I didn't become a cold-blooded person, but learned to choose." After speaking, Cang Ling left without looking back.

Diego looked at Cang Ling's back, then at the photo in his hand, and couldn't help crying again.

After leaving Diego, Cang Ling went to visit Anton in the infirmary.

Anton was seriously injured this time, and due to the lack of medical conditions in the field, the operation was not performed in time. As a result, his arm recovered very badly, and several doctors are evaluating him.

"They said I might never be able to go to the battlefield again." After the assessment, Anton waved his arms and walked towards Cang Ling, "Now my arms can only be lifted up to 45 degrees, which is worse than that of an old lady with frozen shoulder .”

"Did the doctor say when he would recover?" Cang Ling looked carefully at Anton's arm.

"They say reinstatement is next to impossible, but it's good to be free of disabilities."

"That's right, I'm very lucky to come back alive." Cang Ling comforted.

"You know, squad leader. The patients and nurses in the hospital have been surrounding me for the past two days, sending me flowers and fruits, and praising me as a hero."

"You must be very popular here, right?" Cang Ling smiled.

"They praised us because we killed Snowden and Hegazi, and eliminated Sehavi's 500-year-old hidden danger, although the price was a bit high."

"Indeed, until now I can't believe that we actually beat Nodens!"

"But to the Kingdom of Kemanga, we are out-and-out invaders, right?"

"You...won't you have a heavy mental burden like Diego, right? If that's the case, I must arrange for the psychological team to intervene on you."

"No, I'm not that fragile. I don't need mental treatment. I just feel that there is sometimes only a wall between heroes and demons."

"..."

"Okay, I'm going for rehabilitation. I accept the photo, thank you." Anton stuffed the photo into his pocket, waved his hand and went upstairs.

Cang Ling stood at the door for a long time before he lifted his foot and walked out the door.

"In the eyes of night monsters, we are slaughterers; in the eyes of humans, we are heroes. What are we?" Cang Ling asked himself in his heart as he walked.

After returning to the station, Cang Ling was surprised to find that Phoebe's mother had come.

Mrs. Sterling, who seldom went out, rushed from Windmill City to Windsor overnight after hearing that Phoebe had returned safely, and rushed all the way to the temporary station.

When Cang Ling saw her, her hat was all crooked, her skirt was covered in dust, her face was yellow, and she had no makeup on at all.

"Great, you're still alive, that's great!" Mrs. Sterling cried while hugging Phoebe.

Butler Avery on the side also kept wiping away tears.

Seeing the elegant mother so disregarding her image, Phoebe couldn't help but have a sore nose. She patted Mrs. Sterling on the back: "Don't cry! Am I fine? A strong person like me, one of the best in the country, must It'll be all right!"

"You don't even know how I got through the past few months..." Mrs. Sterling choked up and said, "They all said that you will never come back..."

"Who are they? Are they those gossips again?" Phoebe said dissatisfiedly, "You cut them off immediately!"

"Miss, Madam goes to church to pray for you every day!" Avery said, "It takes three or four hours each time."

"Didn't I say that in the letter? I will definitely come back."

"Just come back! Just come back!" Mrs. Sterling kept wiping her tears.

Seeing this scene, Cang Ling smiled happily: "Great, Phoebe and Mom have completely reconciled."

She turned around and went out tactfully without disturbing the Phoebes.

After a while, Kali's parents also arrived panting, as well as the families of Diego, Charlene and Ryan.

After a brief reunion, everyone reluctantly bid farewell to their parents and got on the train to the capital.

There, they will attend a mass funeral for all those who died, while being honored by the Queen.

Of course, the results of this operation will also be discussed.
