The moment a hurried-looking figure stepped out of the car, he was stopped by soldiers stationed around the hospital.
"Get out of the way! I am Aslan Sara!"
Aslan looked anxious and looked at his colleagues who were also members of ZAFT and said.
But the other party did not get out of the way, but stood firmly in front of Aslan.
"Sorry! We can't let anyone in without receiving any orders."
"you···"
Aslan was shocked, but still admitted it.
The situation was urgent and special, and Aslan could not be willful.
What's more, he can't be willful.
"Let Aslan come in!"
At this time, a familiar figure appeared at the door and asked the ZAFT soldiers blocking the way to get out of the way.
"Captain Cruze! Why are you here too?"
Aslan looked at the tall figure standing at the door in surprise.
They had just arrived at the port not long ago.
Aslan immediately got off the boat and rushed here as soon as he received the news, but he did not expect that Cruze was one step ahead of him.
"The situation is urgent, and some special permissions have been used! Aslan, follow up!"
Despite the mask, Aslan still felt solemnity from Cruze.
Aslan nodded silently and followed up with Cruze.
With Cruze's guarantee, the ZAFT soldiers guarding the surroundings naturally did not dare to intercept Aslan again.
Walking into the gate, Aslan saw a sentry every three steps and a post every ten steps.
ZAFT soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition were arranged in all the corridors, and even at the entrance of some wards, more than three ZAFT soldiers were stationed in turns.
Such an exaggerated garrison arrangement made Aslan feel deeply uncomfortable.
"Do you know everything?"
Cruze, who was walking in front, didn't notice Aslan's expression and asked softly.
"Yeah. Uncle, Speaker Siegel was assassinated. But I don't know the details yet."
Cruze nodded slightly.
"Yes. Just before we returned to PLANT, Lux Klein, um, your fiancée, was attacked while attending the commemoration ceremony of Junius 7. She was seriously injured and was rushed to the emergency room.
He was sent back to April City for treatment. After learning the news, Speaker Siegel also rushed to the port to watch while Lax Klein was being sent back to April City."
Cruze's voice was exceptionally low, as if he was suppressing something.
"At that time, a series of car bomb attacks suddenly occurred at the port. In the chaos, Speaker Siegel, who was visiting his daughter, was shot and fell to the ground, dying on the spot."
"What?! Lux was injured? During the visit, my uncle was shot and fell to the ground, dying on the spot?!"
Aslan looked at Cruze in shock.
Cruze smiled bitterly.
"Don't look at me like that. I just learned about these things."
Cruze seemed to sigh.
"Aslan, our enemies are deeper than we think."
"The murderer has been found?"
Cruze shook his head.
"Currently, not yet. When there was no hope of escape, those who participated in the attack all chose to blow themselves up or commit suicide by taking poison."
Aslan's brows frowned deeply.
"However, according to the descriptions of the ZAFT soldiers present, the attackers would chant slogans such as "For a blue and clean sky" before detonating car bombs or committing suicide."
"A killer sent by the United Earth?"
A trace of anger rose up.
This sentence is not unfamiliar to Aslan, it is even unforgettable.
Because, on February 14, a year ago, the Junius 7 colonial satellite where his mother was located was destroyed by a nuclear bomb launched by the United Earth under similar slogans.
Cruze shook his head again.
"not sure yet."
The anger in Aslan's heart surged, and he almost blurted out, "What more investigation is needed!".
But in the end, Aslan endured it.
Because, at the end of the corridor, a group of people appeared.
Among those people, Aslan saw his father.
The father who used to be majestic now seems to give people a feeling of being tired, sad, but suppressing something.
"Cruze, Aslan, you guys are back!"
Among the crowd, Patrick Sala saw Cruze and Aslan at a glance.
"Chairman of the Generalissimo, Rau Lu Cruze reports to you!"
"Aslan Sala, report to the Chairman!"
"Well, Cruze, come with me. I want to ask your thoughts on some things."
Patrick nodded slightly, responding to the two people's greetings, and immediately began to give instructions.
At the end, Patrick looked at Aslan Sala, silent for a moment, and finally his eyes softened slightly.
"Aslan, during this period, you don't have to participate in the mission. You just stay here and accompany Lux! She..."
Patrick took two steps forward, raised his hand and patted Aslan heavily on the shoulder.
"She just lost her father. And you are her fiancé. Do you understand?"
Aslan saw sadness, anger, and majesty that could not be rejected on Patrick's face.
"Yes! Chairman of the General Assembly, Aslan Sala, accept this task."
Aslan Sara paused and hesitated.
"At the same time, as Lux Klein's fiancé, I also assume responsibility."
Patrick nodded slowly, patted Aslan's shoulder again, and led everyone, including Cruze, past Aslan and toward the outside of the hospital.
Aslan was left alone and stood silently.
For some reason, Aslan felt like something was missing in his heart.
He was at a loss for what to do for a while, but he felt a sense of relief that something had finally settled.
However, Cruze, who followed Patrick out of the hospital, noticed that at the other end of the corridor, a group of medical staff wearing white robes and discussing something were approaching.
Just when the leading medical staff noticed Patrick and Cruze's group, and took the initiative to lead other medical staff out of the way, an abnormal aura made Cruze's brain instantly feel a tremor.
Moreover, this trembling feeling became particularly intense the moment he passed by one of the medical staff.
This is what happened in an instant.
But the next moment the two sides passed each other, Cruze's eyes hidden under the mask gradually revealed a ferocious brilliance.
familiar!
familiar!
So familiar!!
That,
That is,
That’s the same kind of scent!!
Almost at that moment, Kruse was even sure that the culprit of this incident, no, the assassination of Siegel Klein, was hidden in PLANT April City, hidden in this hospital, hidden in
among those medical staff.
Such a strong intuition made Cruze's heart surge and become excited.
expose?
Whistleblower?
No!
No!
No!
Kruse repeatedly rejected these ideas.
He has no loyalty to PLANT or ZAFT.
The reason why he is here and standing in this place is simply to realize his plan.
But now, he just wants to know, what does this so-called similar person want to do?
After going through so much trouble to assassinate Siegel Klein, what is the purpose of showing up here so brazenly?
"What a surprise to me! An indescribable surprise! Who are you, the same kind of person?"
