The imprint of the universe and the return of all things

Section 5. Interception before takeoff

After everything was ready, the aircraft's engine started. The plane is slowly heading towards the airport runway.

Hill glanced at Ito who was sitting next to him. Seeing that Ito was pale and nervous, he said to Ito:"You seem to feel a little uneasy. Are you worried?"

Ito admitted:"Yes. Last time I Just when I was about to successfully escape Tokyo with a female companion, something unexpected happened, and in the end I could only watch her die tragically. So, I was very afraid that something would happen again this time. Before the plane took off into the sky, I can't completely relax. Even though I try hard."

Rena, who was sitting behind Ito, said disdainfully:"What a coward. Maybe when you get your balls back, you can regain your composure.."

Ito said angrily:"Please, I am not timid, I am cautious, okay."

Reina was not convinced and wanted to refute, but Hill interjected:"Ito is right to be cautious.. Look out the window. People from the FBI and CIA are coming."

After hearing this, everyone looked out the window and saw a fleet of SUVs quickly approaching their plane. In less than a few seconds, they had already caught up with their plane.

In the convoy, the fastest SUV drove straight in front of the plane and forced the plane to a stop. The vehicles that followed parked around the plane and surrounded it.

Ashley stepped out of one of the SUVs and spoke to the plane through a loudspeaker:"Hill, I know you are in there. Please come out quickly. We have arranged a special plane for you and your team." , to welcome you back to the United States."

While Ashley was shouting, Brad, who was traveling with her, was busy directing his men to move around, get into formation, and get ready for battle. After he completed the deployment, he whispered in Ashley's ear:"Aren't we going too far? Is it really necessary to go to war with those scientist nerds?"

Ashley said lightly:"I'm very Understand Hill. Never underestimate his ability at any time, otherwise you will make a fatal mistake. No matter how strict you are against him, you can never be too careful."

Brad showed a disapproving expression and murmured:"Maybe In Hill's opinion, you are a terrible woman."

Ashley ignored Brad's words. Seeing that there was no movement in the plane, she continued to use the loudspeaker to say:"Hill, you are a smart person. , let us cut out the nonsense and get straight to the point. We already know about Ito Kenichi, and we also know your plan. The stand-ins you left in the exhibition hall have been exposed and killed by the Kohirikai , and my colleagues and CIA agents also suffered heavy casualties because of your stand-ins. This is bad enough. Now, I just hope that you can cooperate with us and follow us back to the United States. As long as you are willing to cooperate, I promise No one will be harmed. Otherwise, I will have to use force to arrest you on suspicion of endangering national security. So, please don't force me to do this."

Hearing Ashley's shouting, in the cabin Everyone inside, except Ito, was calm and did not have any panic.

Hill glanced at Jason and Kurata, and the two immediately went to various windows in the cabin to check on the enemy. The rest of the team, as if they had rehearsed before, performed their duties and acted in an orderly manner.

Ito sat dumbfounded in his seat, holding his head and muttering to himself (in Japanese):"Damn it! Why is it like this again! Is this all destined?"

He sighed deeply, and after pondering for a moment, He raised his head and said to Hill:"Mr. Scott, unfortunately, it seems that our cooperation will end before it begins. Those people's goal is only me, and I don't want to implicate you. I think as long as I am willing to take the initiative to follow If they go to the United States, they won't make things difficult for you. The woman just said that people have died because of this operation. I really don't want to see more people hurt, especially you. I will go with them After entering the United States, I will try my best to deal with them. No matter what, I will not compromise with them and hand over my technology. If I am lucky, they can't do anything to me and finally release me, I will go to you immediately. Once again, I would like to sincerely thank you for all your efforts and sacrifices for me."

Hill listened to Ito's words without any expression. He just stared sharply into Ito's eyes and said lightly:"I'm afraid you underestimate us, Ito. If we didn't have great determination, we wouldn't have been able to come here. We will be responsible for our own lives, You don’t need to worry about it. Moreover, I don’t think you can resist their coercion and inducement, just like Einstein who was persecuted by the Nazis and had to defect to the United States. They will try their best to brainwash you, and it won’t take a few months. Over time, you may take the initiative to give up your technology for some so-called"justice" and"goodwill". It will not be until they use your technology to kill humans that you will suddenly wake up and regret it. If such consequences are It really happened, can you bear it?"

Ito was speechless and fell silent immediately. He knew that what Hill said was the truth, but he didn't want them to sacrifice in vain, and his thoughts became extremely confused for a while.

Hill then said calmly:"I never make uncertain investments, and I never fight uncertain battles. We came prepared this time, and before setting off, we had prepared for all possible bad situations. Come up with a response plan. Just like this time, do you really think that we are just lambs to be slaughtered?"

He said, slowly stood up from his seat, walked to Ito's side, and patted Ito's Shoulder said:"You are already a member of our team. I hope you can believe in our team's determination and ability in the future." After saying that, he walked to the cabin door calmly and opened the cabin door. , walked out of the plane calmly.

Outside the cabin, the aircraft's own ramp has been deployed. Hill had no intention of walking down the gangway. He stood on the gangway, facing Ashley who was waiting for him, and said coldly:"Clark, you have been investigating me for almost a year. During this year, have you found any evidence that I endanger national security? I think you should I have also seen that in this year, everything I have done is to create a better future for mankind. And the same is true for helping Ito Kenichi this time. I intend to use his technology to benefit mankind, and there is no attempt at all to It is used in other ways.

In comparison, it is you who are the real threat to mankind. You should know very well what the U.S. government will use Ito's technology for after he goes to the United States with you. Humanity We have already made a mistake, using nuclear energy technology to create world-destroying nuclear weapons. Will we make another mistake now, using wormhole transmission technology to create more destructive weapons? Once a war breaks out, mankind will Is there enough restraint to control the use of these weapons?

Clark, I understand that as patriots, you wholeheartedly hope that the country will continue to be strong and that the country will continue to maintain strategic advantages. You would like to see the country become stronger and more advanced weapons, thinking that this is in line with the country's security interests. However, when you look at it from the perspective of the security of all mankind, you will find that such an idea is too narrow-minded and will only push mankind into a more dangerous situation.

So, for the greater good of humanity, why not give us a break and let us go. I guarantee that in a few years, when you look back, you will not regret the decision you made today."

Ashley After listening to Hill's long speech, he didn't waver at all. He just said calmly:"Hill, no matter what you say, I will only act according to orders. I don't have time to argue with you about right and wrong. People in Xingrihui may be very They will come soon after hearing the news. Once they come, the situation will become more complicated and you will be more dangerous. I just want a clear answer now. Are you willing to follow me?" Hill said:"You Are you sure you have to take us back to the United States? Even if you have to use tough measures."

Ashley said bluntly:"Yes."

Hill sighed softly and said:"Then, you leave me no choice." After that, he turned around and walked into the cabin.
