Chapter 1367 Not Enough
Yang Yi was silent for a long time, thinking about Thomas' words.
Thomas was quite right when he said something, that is, the man in gray might be deceiving Yang Yi, using the mentality that no one would tell his outrageous lies, so it is possible that outrageous words would be credible.
It is very possible that the people in gray are all racists and believe in white supremacy, but the people in gray are not good birds, they are just cleaners.
After thinking for a long time, Yang Yi nodded, smiled at Thomas, and said: "What you said makes sense, but I've thought too much, well, unless the man in gray really let me see that saint. Cabinet, otherwise I will never believe any nonsense from the man in gray."
Thomas smiled and said, "That's right."
Yang Yi waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Then what should I do next? I have established preliminary contact with the people in gray. I can find them, but what should I do? To be honest, since Erwin …After I died, I never received any instructions on the mission, so I didn’t know what to do.”
Thomas breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You don't have to do anything in a hurry. The most important thing is to get in touch with the core leadership of the people in gray. The more, the better. Every detail and every person's information is what we need." , now, tell me everything you know, it will be useful.”
After thinking for a moment, Yang Yi nodded and said: "Of course you can, but these can't be explained clearly in a few sentences. Can you record it on paper? Then I will give the paper materials to you. If you think this will take too long. If so, well, you can find a recorder to record what I said."
Thomas nodded, and just as he was about to speak, the waiter who had just brought a cup of coffee to the next table came over, leaned over and smiled: "Hello, Yang Yi, can we talk somewhere else now? We're inside , quieter.”
Yang Yi looked at the waiter. He was a man in his forties with a professional smile. But after the waiter finished speaking, Thomas sitting opposite him had a look of astonishment.
Yang Yi spread his hands towards Thomas and said, "Is it necessary?"
Thomas didn't say anything. He just took out a banknote and put it on the table. Then he stood up, walked aside, picked up his hat from the coat rack and put it on without looking back. He left without saying a word to Yang Yi.
Yang Yi shrugged and said to Sui, who was still standing next to him: "Okay, it seems necessary."
"this way please."
Yang Yi followed Sui Sui through the lobby and came to a small cubicle. After asking Yang Yi to sit down at a dining table, the waiter did not leave, but pulled out the chair opposite Yang Yi and sat down.
Yang Yi really thought that Sui Sui was just a messenger and it was time for someone else to come see him.
"I'm Thomas, the real Thomas, nice to meet you."
Adaptation did not shake hands with Yang Yi, but just smiled politely at Yang Yi after making an opening remarks.
Yang Yi spread his hands and said, "Well, to be honest, this way of meeting can easily make people unhappy."
Thomas, to be precise, the real Thomas nodded: "Yes, I'm sorry, but I have to meet you in this way, because I am really worried that you have been convinced by the man in gray, well, you can understand it, right?" ?”
"Of course, I understand."
Thomas nodded, then he sighed softly and said: "I didn't want to show up originally, but today, I originally wanted to see what you would say, then see your attitude, and analyze whether you really invested in Men in Gray, if that’s the case we’ll lose a lot and get nothing in return.”
"Why did you change your mind?"
"Because the way you talked was too direct, well, the fake Thomas just now didn't know too many things, and he couldn't handle it. In fact, I think he did a very good job, whether it was expression control or topic change. They're all pretty good, but this is not a question of ability. He doesn't know too many things, so he can't handle your overly direct inquiries."
"Yeah, he doesn't know, so he can't answer my questions. It's hard to admit or deny."
Yang Yi smiled, Thomas also smiled, and then Yang Yi suddenly said: "Then why did you show up again?"
Thomas sighed first, and then smiled helplessly: "Because you are forcing me. First of all, I know that you don't believe what fake Thomas said. You don't doubt him, but you believe that he is lying to you. Then, you I decided I needed to get out, and I figured once you get out you'd never have contact with the cleaners again, so I just got out."
Yang Yi put away his smile and said, "You can see it."
"Yes, I saw it. I pretended not to. He is still talking to you according to the established plan, but I know that I must come out to prevent you from leaving. It would be too stupid to let you leave. Our sacrifice and hard work turned into a joke.”
Yang Yi waved his hand and said: "I am not qualified to say this, but I will say that your approach is very risky."
"No, I have to do this. Well, in fact, I was willing to show up and talk to you in person only after I fully believed that you had not betrayed."
"Why did you believe me?"
"Because of your forced way of talking, if you fall to the man in gray, you won't directly reveal your doubts. What you want now is the truth, and you haven't decided which side to completely vote for, so I can only come out. ”
Yang Yi smiled and said, "Okay, can we start a real conversation?"
"Wait a minute, why do you think the person who just pretended to be me is untrustworthy? Just out of curiosity, can you tell me?"
Yang Yi was silent for a moment, and then he whispered: "Because of faith, Erwin's faith. When he knew that it was difficult for him to die, but still decided to appear in front of the man in gray, I knew that he had faith. As for the person who pretended to be you just now, what he said is not enough to become a belief, at least not enough for Erwin to sacrifice his belief and rebuild a new order. This goal is great, but not enough."
Thomas frowned and said, "That's all?"
"Isn't that enough? Well, let me tell you, during the Chinese Anti-Japanese War, a Chinese who pretended to defect to the Japanese army broke into the Japanese army and became an undercover agent. He sent a lot of key information. Later, he was suspected and the Japanese army arrested him. He was tortured for eighteen days without saying a word. Until the Japanese army caught another man and thought he was innocent, they let him go. They also trusted him more and let him get more information. I Does what I said remind you of anything?"
Thomas nodded lightly, and Yang Yi said in a deep voice: "Yes, that Chinese man has faith, so he can endure all kinds of torture and refuse to give in. Then I thought of Erwin, although I don’t know what Erwin believes in, but something as futile as rebuilding a new world order is obviously not enough, so I either think Erwin is a fool or fake Thomas is lying, and I choose the latter.”
