The imprint of the universe and the return of all things

Section 1. Ashley was suspended

"Yes, I do feel sad right now. But I can manage my emotions and do what I should do."

Ashley said loudly to her boss, FBI Director Gabriel Gonzalez, in her office at the FBI headquarters,"At this time, isn't it more important for me to participate in the investigation to find out where Hill and the others have gone? Why do you have to let me rest?"

Gabriel Gonzalez sighed and said:"Ashley, let me tell you straight. In addition to worrying about your emotions, we are even more worried about your ambiguous relationship with Brad Johnson. As you know, Kenichi Ito has since recovered and has provided a lot of important information. Based on that information, we have found out that Brad is Hill's undercover agent and it was he who rescued Hill and others. He is the mole. In recent months, you have been working with him, and you are very close in private. Therefore, before investigating the specific relationship between the two of you, in order to avoid actions within the government system due to insiders again, Due to the interference, we have to suspend you temporarily and accept relevant investigations. After hearing this

, Ashley asked angrily:"So, you don't trust me now?""

Gabriel Gonzalez shook his head and said:"No, to be precise, the White House does not trust you. Ashley stared at Gabriel Gonzalez and said,"What about you personally?" Do you trust me?"

Gabriel Gonzalez looked at Ashley and said seriously:"You are one of my best subordinates, of course I trust you. But it's not me who has the final say. All I can do is to shorten the investigation process as much as possible and remind the White House of your contribution in this operation. Although this"Ito undercover operation" did not achieve the expected goal of arresting or killing Hill, it at least forced Hill to flee Silicon Valley in a hurry, leaving the army composed of thugs leaderless and disorganized, leaving our army They were able to completely suppress them with a small-scale military operation and at a very small cost, successfully avoiding a large-scale and tragic war. Therefore, judging from the results,"Operation Ito Undercover" is still effective, and you who proposed this plan can be regarded as indispensable. I believe the White House will take this into consideration and will not be too harsh in its investigation of you. As long as some facts are found out, you will be able to get back to work as soon as possible. Before that, please cooperate with the investigation and take a rest. Ashley said with some dissatisfaction:"Well, I'll listen to you. I don't have a choice anyway, right?""

This is just a temporary arrangement and it won't last long," Gabriel Gonzalez said. Hill's side was also hit hard and couldn't do anything in a short time. You don't have to worry too much. Have a good rest."After saying that, he stood up from his seat, walked to Ashley, patted Ashley on the shoulder gently, and then left the office silently, leaving Ashley sitting alone. In the office.

Ashley closed her eyes tiredly, covered her face with her hands, and her thoughts were turbulent.

Brad cheated on her feelings, which made her sad. But what made her even more sad was that she missed another catch. It’s a good opportunity to live in Hill. Hill’s ambition has been completely exposed. His ultimate goal is far crazier than people imagined. If Hill is allowed to act recklessly, it will definitely bring an unprecedented catastrophe to mankind and the entire world. The damage is immeasurable. If Hill is not eliminated for a day, the world will not be peaceful for a day. She doesn’t know how many people will die because of him. Therefore, she blames herself for being deceived by Brad’s sweet words and not noticing Brad’s warning earlier. Otherwise, things would not have developed to this point.

The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became. In the end, she couldn't help but yell loudly in the office to vent her complicated emotions.

Section 2. Transaction

On the other side, after talking to Ashley, Gabriel Gonzalez left the FBI headquarters, and then drove to a federal prison in Washington to personally interrogate Sakura Muto who was imprisoned there.

Sakura Muto sat in the interrogation room with her hands and feet shackled, looking at Gabriel Gonzalez with disdain and saying nothing.

Gabriel Gonzalez said calmly:"You are smarter than I thought. We have set traps in this prison several times, trying to trick you into revealing the"key parameter values" of the wormhole transmission technology. As a result, You found out everything. I didn't expect that your palace was so deep that you could keep this secret for so long."

After hearing this, Sakura Muto stared at Gabriel Gonzalez, snorted coldly, and said nothing.

Gabriel Gonzalez said:"Frankly speaking, we no longer intend to use any tricks to solve this matter. We do not want to waste too much time and energy on this matter. We want to do it directly with you. Deal."

He paused and then said:"We have enough evidence to prove your involvement in the murder of American citizens Zoe Miller, Tom Wood, Jason Evans, and the injury of FBI officer Gordon Bauer. I know that you have assassinated many people in Japan, and you take these lives seriously. But now, you are in the United States, and these few crimes are enough for you to live in this dark cell for the rest of your life. You You will never be free, and you will spend the rest of your life here in confusion, emptiness, and boredom. I think that for you who are used to being unconstrained, this will be a torture worse than death.

However, if you are willing to change the"key parameter values""If you hand it over, our President, Andrew Herbert, will agree to issue you a Presidential Pardon, pardoning your crimes and authorizing us to arrange for you to live in a comfortable and luxurious residence so that you can continue to live. Live a prosperous and happy life. As long as you promise not to leak the"key parameter values" to the public and abide by the laws of our country, you can do whatever you want, and you will live safely in our country as a free person. Life. How about it? Such conditions should be pretty good, right? Do you want to consider making this deal with us?"

Sakura Muto sneered without thinking, and raised her middle finger to Gabriel Gonzalez to express her manner.

Gabriel Gonzalez didn't take it seriously and said calmly:"Well, it's expected. I didn't expect you to agree easily. I know that in your heart, you still have expectations. I look forward to one day, Xing The Nichikai will send people to rescue you, and then you tell the Hōrikai the"key parameter values" to make a great contribution to the Hōrikai, and let your adoptive father, Watanabe Tsuyoshi, realize his ambition and become a certain region. Even the overlord of the entire world, right? This is a very good idea. But unfortunately, I have to tell you a cruel fact. That is, Watanabe Tsuyoshi is dead! And not only Watanabe Tsuyoshi, Koinichi Kai The vice-presidents and elders of the organization are all dead. The mainstay of the Xingni Society has collapsed, and its demise is only a matter of time. Soon, the Xingni Society that you care about will no longer exist."

Muto Sakura heard Watanabe Gang, who was already dead, suddenly became agitated and yelled at Gabriel Gonzalez (in English):"Go to hell, you despicable liar. Do you think you can get away with such a ridiculous lie?" Can you fool me? My adoptive father is Tsuyoshi Watanabe! No one can kill him! He will never be defeated. You ridiculous liar, shut up!"

Gabriel Gonzalez Si didn't speak. He calmly pushed a tablet on the table in front of Sakura Muto and played a video. The content of the video was captured by a camera in a secret research institute. It records the whole process of how Watanabe Tsuyoshi and others raided the secret research institute and eventually died one by one.

Muto Sakura looked at the screen with wide eyes, her fists clenched, her teeth clenched, her face livid, and her eyes bursting with flames of extreme anger.

The moment she saw Kurosawa-hime inserting a dagger into Watanabe Tsuyoshi's chest, her emotions completely collapsed. She suddenly let out a heart-rending roar and threw the tablet to the ground.

"I'm going to kill her! I'm going to kill that dirty stinky framer! That bitch actually dared to betray his adoptive father and Xingrihui! She will not die well!"She screamed frantically (in Japanese), her eyes full of hatred.

Gabriel Gonzalez said calmly:"How about it, have you changed your mind now?"

Muto Sakura glared at Gabriel Gonzalez fiercely, and said in a deep voice (in English):"Okay, I promise you, but I have to add a condition. I want you to take me with you next time you deal with that bitch Scott and Kurosawa-hime. I will kill that bitch with my own hands and cut her into pieces to avenge my adoptive father."

Gabriel Gonzalez seemed to have anticipated Muto Sakura's request. Without any hesitation, he nodded and said,"No problem, deal.""
