529 Incident 2

"Of course it's true," Bai E nodded calmly, turning to gesture toward the giant figure on the other side of the distant gate, "But right now, I don't have time to discuss this with you. Maintaining the stability of the city is also our duty as soldiers. I just want to ask you, can you make that big fellow stop?"

"A soldier's duty..." The old man was taken aback, a look of agreement smiling across his face.

Yes! A soldier's duty.

It was their duty as artificial humans as well.

Maintaining the stability of the city had once been a deep-seated commitment for every artificial human.

But... he had never intended to disrupt the city's stability either.

"We, we just want to let this city see..."

See our determination.

See our faith.

See whether we artificial humans truly deserve trust.

The old man stared at Bai E, whose indifferent face somehow gave him a complete sense of relief and familiarity, filling him with absolute trust.
