67 Battle Situation Analysis Meeting 3 (1/2)
The moment Tian Xing Jian set down his resolution, his line of thought seemingly became clear. Even though this type of thinking might be overwhelming and counter-intuitive and saying it out might just cause him to be mocked by the others, he wouldn’t have any more qualms after deciding to just risk it all.
I’m just an idiot originally, isn’t that right?
Tian Xing Jian walked towards the virtual map and picked up an electronic pen by the table before making a few markings on the map which took into consideration the entire Gyaca Woods Imperial Army’s offensive deployment. He then explained it to Bernadotte, “High-ranking officers, I’ve discovered that Russell has given us a sign via the Gyaca Woods Imperial Army’s offensive appearance—it’s a Peirce’s Sign. I’m not sure if this is coincidental or not, but I wish to do my part to help the overall battle situation.”
Several high-ranking officers surrounded the virtual map before looking at each other in dismay; they had not touched the Peirce’s Sign for a long period of time and this complex sign wasn’t something anyone could understand in just a single look.
Fatty closed his eyes, thinking that this was going to be truly embarrassing. Why had his impulse made him speak of this simple and almost impossible way of thinking? Unless… was he behaving just like the past, forever using public sensationalism to attract her attention?
The meeting room suddenly became really quiet as the high-ranking officers looked at this sign in puzzlement. Just then, a clear voice sounded out to explain the meaning behind the sign. It was An Lei. She explained, “This is a double-chain sign and is symmetrical regardless where you look. The meaning behind this pictorial message is: Kill me; otherwise, you die.”
Hearing An Lei’s voice, Fatty could no longer control his own eyes as he widened them towards her. She stood there quietly, as slender and as elegant like a lotus. That perfect face still contained remnants of the pretty little girl ten years ago. Her white skin and soft, silky long hair were forever so clean, so clear, just like a honey peach that was full of sweetness. Wherever she goes, she would always be the center of attention of the men. This is a natural, sweet-tempered beauty, a goddess among women.
Seeing Tian Xing Jian cast his sight on her, An Lei’s heart burst out with some strange feelings as she slightly turned away. She would never have thought that she would meet this person at this place… this fool. In her impression of him, this chap should forever remain in the capital planet, living a life of wealth and peace. Becoming a soldier and participating in battle was something that was totally incompatible with his personality.
Several high-ranking officers looked pensive after hearing that, yet sounds of ridicule could not be avoided. This was the director of the 4th Research Unit, Colonel Kadur. He spoke out impatiently, “Sending this Peirce’s Sign during a war? First Lieutenant Tian, don’t you think that your imagination might just be too excessive? This situation is merely just a coincidence.”
The majority of the research unit director had seemingly agreed with this explanation; this sign could be entirely ignored.
Tian Xing Jian shook his head: “Whether it is coincidental or not, what I know is that if this sign is genuine, then all your questions would be solved.”
“Oh?” Bernadotte became interested. Signaling for Tian Xing Jian to sit down, he asked, “You don’t have to worry. Just share with us your opinion behind this.”
Fatty was originally the paragon of gangsterism. Since he decided to stake it all, after hearing the encouragement from Bernadotte, he decided to be blunt, “It’s fine for me to share my opinion, though I still truly do not know what Russell’s intention is. I’ll just assume that this sign is genuine before making my argument from it.”
