I, Iron Pilot, work as a teacher in Azure Files

"I'm listening, you go on."

"Ok."

Tong Tengzhu nodded, took a deep breath, organized his own words, and immediately said:

"You should have guessed that the purpose of that ghost is to prevent the signing of the Treaty of Eden."

"Many specific matters about the Treaty of Eden have been classified as confidential by Holy Trinity and Gehena. Even Xia Lai must not have much information. In order to allow you to have a more comprehensive judgment on the incident, please allow Let me explain to you the situation of the Treaty of Eden."

"First of all, it must be clear that the nature of the Treaty of Eden is the existence of the two schools, Holy Trinity and Gehenna, to make a vow of non-aggression."

"Its most fundamental guarantee comes from a neutral institution that is attended, participated, recognized and established by all the core members of Gehena and Holy Trinity."

"It's called the 'Eden Treaty Organization'—that's 'ETO'."

"In planning for the future, once there is a conflict between Holy Trinity and Ghena, the ETO will come forward and resolve the dispute."

"Thanks to the possibility of forming an ETO, we have found a way to completely avoid a full-scale war. If someone forcibly intervenes to stop it, the damage to our two schools cannot be underestimated."

After finishing this long string of words in one breath, Tong Fuji Nagisa finally found a chance to breathe.

She slowly exhaled the inexplicable turbidity that was pressing in her chest, raised her light golden eyes, looked at Luo Lin's eyes that were still as calm as a quiet spring, and pursed her lips vigorously.

"Teacher, the hostile relationship between Holy Trinity and Ghenna has lasted for too long, to the extent that it is a great burden for both of us."

"The Treaty of Eden...is probably the only and final way to prevent such meaningless consumption and maintain the internal balance of power in Kivatos, apart from excluding the merger by force."

"This in itself is the solution proposed by the President of the Federal Student Council, but because of her disappearance, it was once forgotten by everyone."

"Fortunately, with our joint efforts, this treaty that almost disappeared in the history of Kivotos has finally been brought back into the spotlight, and it has also brought hope to all students who yearn for friendly exchanges."

"Teacher, can you understand?"

Luo Lin nodded slightly to the girl, leaned forward, put one hand on the table in front of him, raised five fingers slightly and pressed the table.

"Well, peace never comes easily, and I can understand that feeling."

"Yes...it's hard to come by."

Tong Teng Nagisa half-closed his eyes, sighed heavily, and unconsciously clenched the little hand on his thigh under the table.

"But just as the long-awaited treaty was signed, I got information that someone was trying to sabotage the signing of the treaty."

"..."

Luo Lin was silent for a moment, his callused fingers bent, and his rough knuckles knocked on the table one after another, making a soft sound like a countdown.

"Is the source reliable?"

"Absolutely no problem."

Tong Tengzhu got up his spirits and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't even bother to set the teacup in his hand that was always cherished before. He pushed it to the side and took out a roster from under the table. , and handed it to Luo Lin.

"Here is the list of all suspects that have been narrowed down after screening. There are four in total. Please have a look."

Luo Lin looked up at Tong Tengzhu, her small face had a firm expression, as if she was really sure that the so-called "inner ghost" must be among these four people, full of heavy determination.

"Zhu... really values ​​the Treaty of Eden very much, but the more he values ​​it, the easier it will be to be led into the invisible black box of trust by caring people. '

Luo Lin frowned imperceptibly, but without much hesitation in his actions, he took the list from the girl's hand and looked through it seriously.

But in the next moment, the first suspect who caught his eyes directly made him stunned for a moment, and suddenly even shook slightly——

The so-called inner ghost, is it a joke that several students teamed up to play with me?

"Urawa Hanako, a second-year student at Trinity College."

He muttered the words on the list in a low voice, but he couldn't help recalling the pink-haired girl in a swimsuit walking in the square that he saw before arriving at the venue.

She...was suspected by Nagisa to be an inner ghost?

Then this behavior is really high-profile.

Luo Lin rolled his eyes, bit the piece of meat on the left side of his mouth, and didn't take the initiative to say anything, just continued to look down.

"Azusa Hakushu, a second-year student at Holy Trinity College"

'It was the white-haired girl who had practiced fighting. '

The young iron pilot nodded slightly, thinking that this looks quite normal, that kind of skill is really not like ordinary Kivatos students can practice with determination and perseverance, and the suspected mild PTSD symptoms are also very thought-provoking .

"Azuya Hisami, a second-year student at Holy Trinity College"

Oh, Hifumi, I think this-

Wait, who? !

"No, wait, isn't that right?"

Luo Lin raised his head abruptly, met Tong Tengzhu's gaze with a little disbelief, and then looked at the list and the girl's face several times in succession.

"This...Hifumi? Nagisa, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Although I also find it hard to believe, but... I'm sorry, teacher, Hifumi is indeed suspected."

Tong Fuji Nagisa bit his lip, sighed lowly, and lowered his eyes slightly.

"Whether it's frequent access to the black market located in an illegal area, or being witnessed to be in contact with a criminal group, or even saying that her true identity is the leader of a certain criminal group...all are unmistakable evidence."

"Uh……"

Luo Lin swallowed, and suddenly grinned with a headache.

Why do the things Nagisa said sound so familiar?

Black markets, illegal activities, criminal groups...

The combination of all these keywords, plus the participation of Hifumi, isn't it the "masked swimsuit group" that is like a joke at Abydos High School? !

What the hell did you guys do after I left the Abydos Autonomous Region!You can even hear your names in Holy Trinity!

The combat skills I taught you are not for you to be gangsters! !

'Bai Zi, Bai Zi, you are really my sweet little padded jacket. '

Forcibly resisting the urge to slap him on the forehead, Luo Lin let out a long and weak sigh, and waved his hands wearily.

"I can testify on behalf of Rifumi, at least part of it can be explained. Let's find an opportunity to talk about the specific situation in detail."

"The last child is...Xiajiang Xiaochun, a first-year student, these are the only four, right?"

"Yes, teacher."

Nagisa nodded lightly, the tips of her light gray hair swayed slightly with her movements, and an inexplicable color flickered in her eyes.

"What do you think?"

"Since you asked that question, let me give my opinion first."

Luo Lin licked his somewhat dry lips, raised his hand and pushed the roster back in front of Tong Tengzhu, leaned back on the soft chair back, and said straightforwardly:

"I think that there is a small probability that Holy Trinity has an inner ghost who really wants to destroy the signing of the Treaty of Eden."

"But at the same time, I have to admit that among the four people you selected, some of them are indeed suspicious."

His voice paused, his eyes turned around on the girl's thoughtful face before continuing.

"I can continue this investigation. It's to give you peace of mind, but I have a condition, that is, when I conduct the investigation, you don't act rashly against the inner ghost."

"If there is any disturbance, no matter whether there is an insider or not, it is very likely that the results of the investigation will eventually point in a direction that no one can judge."

"...Yes, teacher. In the future, I will gather them around you on the grounds of 'providing personal protection for the commander-in-chief of the defense forces', so that you can eliminate and investigate them."

Tong Tengzhu silently pursed his thin lips, sat at the table thinking for a while, and finally nodded his head slowly.

"However, I also have my own insistence. If you fail to find out who the ghost among the four of them is before the signing ceremony of the Treaty of Eden begins..."

"For the benefit of the Holy Trinity, and just in case the worst happens, I will use the excuse of 'ineffective guards' to expel them all from school."

Chapter 120 Nine Curtain Preliminary Exhibition (Two in One)

After Toto Nagisa said the word "drop out" almost decisively, the huge and magnificent hall fell into silence for a while.

Luo Lin, who was sitting at the long table, half-closed his eyes, leaned back as if his body was still relaxed, but crossed his arms around his chest, and the hand under his arms lightly tapped his ribs.

Kivatos is a city mainly composed of students, who belong to different schools. From a conventional point of view, it can basically be equated with the concept of "nationality" before human civilization entered the interstellar era.

Using this analogy, the status of the student union members of each school is almost equal to that of the country's leadership, so one can imagine the seriousness of the word "drop out" from Toto Nagisa's mouth.

Luo Lin silently followed this layer of logic in his heart, raised his eyes, and paused for a while on the face of the gray-haired girl in front of him.

"Of the four suspects you selected, I am not familiar with three of them, so I will not comment before making further contact."

"But Rifumi... I think it's only natural for me to defend her, maybe I can get her out of your suspicion list."

"I know what you want to say, sir."

Tong Tengzhu shook his head lightly, did not give Luo Lin a chance to speak, put aside his words, and said to himself:

"Actually, the reason why I included Hifumi in the list is not complicated. Even from a personal subjective point of view, I think this is a pity."

"Actually, I... like this child very much, and I am very optimistic about this child. Whether it is thinking about other people's character everywhere, or always subconsciously caring for others when getting along, I think she is an excellent friend."

"But this kind of thing is the most terrifying thing. It is precisely because of the trust in the past that my current situation has become a blind state of being a fan of the authorities."

"Have I really gotten to know Hifumi-san well, or is there a side of her that I don't know at all... I don't know."

"Teacher, no matter how the current situation develops, it is an unchangeable and factual truth that Rifumi often wanders in illegal areas and has an affair with a notorious criminal group."

"..."

Luo Lin was silent for a long while, sighed lowly, and suddenly sat up straight, leaning against the back of the chair, a sharp light flashed quietly in his originally plain eyes, and he leaned forward calmly.

"Even if I can prove that everything she did was for a reason, not from her heart?"

"What is the original heart, teacher? What do you want to do?"

Zhu's face was calm, his eyes raised slightly, and he looked at Luo Lin unwaveringly.

"We don't know what Hifumi is thinking in her heart. Even if you say you can explain it to her, how can you be sure that what you explained is what Hifumi thinks in her heart? How can you prove it?"

"There is a reason, not, misunderstanding... What is the meaning of this kind of words? How much authenticity is enough to be fully trusted?"

"Hifumi-san has a kind heart, a polite place, and a gentle place. Even if I know all about these aspects, it is impossible to understand her thoughts."

"Because we are just 'others', what everyone thinks in their hearts can never be proved by others, teacher."

"..."

Rollin was silent again.

Is Kirito Nagisa's theory correct?There is no doubt that this must be wrong.

If everyone is required not to have even the slightest evil thought in their hearts, otherwise they will be bad people, and there will inevitably be no good people in the true sense of the word in the world.

The so-called gentleman talks about deeds regardless of his heart, and the meaning he wants to express is roughly the same.

But looking at it from a more advanced perspective, Nagisa's logic is not wrong.

She is the student council president of Trinity Comprehensive College, and she happens to be facing a major event like the Treaty of Eden, which can be said to affect the future direction of Kivotos to a certain extent, so she must be cautious enough in every move.

For her, once she couldn't clearly distinguish the factors that might threaten the signing of the Treaty of Eden, it was indeed a very easy and blameless choice to pack up and eliminate them all.

But in fact, while making this choice, he ignores all external rationality, which means that Tong Fuji Nagisa has fallen into endless paranoia and suspicion.

She could only see the evidence she wanted to see in her eyes, and only hear the arguments she wanted to hear in her ears. No matter how many reasons Luo Lin gave on this matter, she could not change her mind.

Things have developed to this point, sitting at a long table and arguing has long been meaningless behavior.

But unexpectedly, Luo Lin, who had figured this out, didn't find it so difficult, and felt a little fortunate in his heart.

Although the chain of suspicion has been formed, it is fortunate that it was discovered early enough. If this gloomy atmosphere really spreads, and the entire Holy Trinity, Ghena and other schools are all implicated, it will be really difficult to deal with situation.

Only the current scale...at least it is a blessing in misfortune.

He raised his hand and rubbed the space between his brows, he stopped wasting time with Tong Teng Nagisa on this meaningless topic, instead he asked about something else.

"I understand. So in your plan, how did you achieve the goal of dropping out of school? It can't be that I have nothing to do, but you insist that they don't do a good job, right?"

"Of course not, teacher."

Tong Tengzhu smiled slightly, without any intention of hiding anything, and frankly confessed all his thoughts to Luo Lin.

"Holy Trinity is a school with a long and ancient fine tradition. As the personal guard of the commander-in-chief of the defense force at the Treaty of Eden venue, it is natural to be more skilled in both civil and military skills."
