Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1188 Return to Each World - Gundam SEED (Thirteen)
At the airport in Findersen, a private plane from Orb slowly landed on the runway. As the prime minister of Findersen, Ofer Ram Tao naturally had to greet the distinguished guest in person. Not only that, he also specially prepared a guard of honor and a welcoming team composed of senior officials of Findersen.

This was the highest welcoming etiquette of Findersen, and it was also the first time it was used. Even when Durandal visited Findersen, he was only greeted by Aofer Ram Tao alone, without such a magnificent lineup.

It is also because Ola Maha Lambel has the body of a little girl, which is not suitable for appearing outside in a grand manner or welcoming foreign guests, so this job has always been the responsibility of Ofei Ram Tao.

"Everyone, the distinguished guest has arrived. Follow me to greet him." When Aofei Ram Tao saw the plane stop steadily, he gave an instruction to the people behind him, and then led his team to greet him.

The hatch opened and seeing Yang Hui coming down, Ofer Ram Tao adjusted his state and greeted him with a smile, but when he saw Aslan and Kira following closely behind Yang Hui, his smile froze for a moment, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and continued his work of welcoming him.

"Welcome, Mr. Yang Hui."

"You're welcome, Lord Aoife. I'm flattered that your country attaches so much importance to me."

"Mr. Yang Hui is too modest. With your status, you will be treated with such courtesy wherever you go."

"you flatter me."

"please."

"please."

Yang Hui followed Aoi Ram Tao into the special car. Aslan and Kira did not ride in the same car, which also fulfilled Aoi Ram Tao's wish. He was waiting for the opportunity to meet Yang Hui alone.

"Mr. Yang Hui, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to visit Findersen. The Queen attaches great importance to your visit this time, and the palace has arranged a welcoming ceremony."

"Thank you for your attention. I will thank Queen Aura in person."

"You're welcome, Mr. Yang Hui. After all, you are a respectable person."

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Aofei. I just did what I should do."

"However... Mr. Yang Hui made such a big move. I think... maybe he went a little too far. After all, the ecological environment in that area is still very good."

"Huh?" Yang Hui was slightly stunned. It was not because Aofei Ram Tao suddenly changed the subject, but it was what Yang Hui expected. He specially arranged a separate car, so he must want to say something, but... what surprised Yang Hui was that he felt a mental wave trying to influence him.

"It's quite interesting." Yang Hui raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and responded to Aofei Ram Tao calmly, "As the saying goes, a centipede will not die even if it is cut into pieces. The Blue Cosmos has existed for so many years and has infiltrated every aspect of society. Because of the exposure back then, some people's faith collapsed, but there are also those who hide. Just like this time, someone secretly supported it, pushed someone to stand on the stage and waved his arms, and so many people responded."

Aofie Ram Tao had a bad feeling in his heart. He was not afraid that Orb would find any substantial evidence. After all, the person in charge of the contact was the [Tuner], whose loyalty was beyond doubt. Even if he was caught, he would not sell out the information. But Yang Hui's confident attitude made him very uneasy, especially the curve at the corner of his mouth. There was a sense of crisis... like a hunter eyeing his prey.

"It is impossible to completely eliminate [Blue Cosmos], at least not within fifty years." Yang Hui continued, "The most troublesome thing about religious organizations is that the doctrines and spirits they promote are difficult to eradicate once they take root in people's hearts. This invisible and intangible existence is the most difficult to deal with, so I don't think it's too much. I should strike with the strongest attitude and completely implant fear into these people's hearts, suppressing their hidden beliefs, so that they dare not act rashly."

"I don't agree. I think Mr. Yang Hui has gone too far. It is right to show strong strength to deter others, but we should also give them a chance to negotiate. After showing our strength and making them afraid, we will have the initiative. It should be very easy to ask them to surrender at this time. According to my understanding, [Blue Cosmos] is very similar to other religions. The majority of believers are ignorant and are bewitched by the religious leaders with illusory beliefs. If we can defeat the enemy without fighting..."

"You mean to say, give them a chance to reform?"

"Of course it is so. After all, many of them are just innocent people who have been bewitched..."

"I'm sorry, Lord Aofei, I can't understand your point of view." Yang Hui interrupted Aofei Ram Tao with a smile on his face.

"I'd like to hear the details." Aofei Ram Tao didn't know what happened. He should have used sharper words to stimulate Yang Hui, and then used mental waves to influence and induce Yang Hui. However... even though he knew that the initiative was in the hands of the other party, he still wanted to listen to what he said.

"Sir Aofei, you have never been on a real battlefield, right?"

"Sir Yang Hui, please stop joking. [Garuda] is my mobile suit, and I often..." "No, no, no, Sir Ofei, the battlefield I'm talking about is not the kind of battlefield where I sit in a MS and fight terrorists. What's worse is that I stay behind the troops and take charge of the command."

"...Please don't underestimate me, Mr. Yang Hui."

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. What I meant was... have you ever been to a battlefield in person? Without a mobile suit, just yourself, facing the enemy with your physical body?"

"...Indeed not."

"Then you must have never encountered a child, or... an old man pointing a gun at you, looking at you with hatred in his eyes, wishing to kill you immediately?"

"……No."

"So... imagine if you were in this situation, would you let him kill you? Or would you kill him before he shoots?"

"..." Aofei Ram Tao really couldn't answer this question for a moment. Undoubtedly, the answer was to shoot and kill the enemy, but he had just satirized Yang Hui at the humanitarian level. If he gave this answer, he would undoubtedly be slapping himself in the face, but if he answered the former, it would seem too stupid.

"I shot an old man in his seventies and a child of seven or eight years old." Yang Hui's emotions did not fluctuate at all, as if he was not the one who did it, or as if he was not shooting the person, but rather stepping on an ant on the ground.

"Mr. Yang Hui, you..."

"So my point of view is that it doesn't matter your age, your identity, or whether you know it or not. As long as you pick up a weapon, you must be prepared to be killed. No one is exempt from this."

"...Don't you think... that's too cruel?"

"Cruel? Haha." Yang Hui turned his head and looked out the window, smiling coldly, "I have always been very cruel to my enemies."

"Gulu~"

Aoife Ram Tao swallowed his saliva. The biting cold air made him shiver. It was not his body that felt cold, but his soul that was trembling, as if his soul was about to be frozen.

Because of the cold, Aofei Ram Tao also recovered from that strange state. He wanted to see into Yang Hui's heart whether he had really discovered anything. However, his weak mental waves could not penetrate Yang Hui's mental barrier.

"How is it possible? No matter how strong your will is, you can't block the prying of mental waves. Is it my problem? I was just... affected!?"

After failing to read his mind, Aofei Ram Tao began to sweat coldly on his back. He had realized that he had been misled by Yang Hui without realizing it.

In the view of Aoi Ram Tao, Yang Hui is a natural person and it is impossible for him to use mental waves, so it is naturally impossible for him to build a mental barrier to block his mind reading. Mind reading requires a very delicate control over mental waves. The reason why the mind reading failed is that he was influenced by Yang Hui and could not concentrate.

It was precisely because of this that Aoife Ram Tao was even more horrified. Without the influence of mental waves, he could be influenced and guided by words and aura alone. How terrifying was that?
Ofer Ram Tao calmed down, focused his attention, and planned to try again, but unfortunately, the vehicle began to slow down and soon stopped.

"What a pity! I would like to ask Lord Yang Hui for more advice." Seeing the vehicle arrive at the gate of the palace, Ofer Ram Tao naturally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to spy.

"You are too kind. We are just discussing this. I will leave tomorrow morning, Lord Aofei."

"That's great, Mr. Yang Hui. I still have many questions I want to ask you."

"As long as it's not a private matter, it's fine."

It was at this moment that the car door was opened from the outside, and the sunlight shone on Aofei Ram Tao's face. Perhaps it was the stimulation of the sunlight or because of Yang Hui's words, his pupils shrank slightly.
