Chapter 1348 Fresh Blood (12)
“Are you sure you want me to think about it again?”
Mo Tan looked at the stunned girl in front of him with a smile, a look on his face that made people laugh. With a smile like a spring breeze, he smiled and said: "That's not impossible. After all, both Foster and Lian are opposed to your application to join the organization. Personally, I I really don’t want to offend those two people, so..."
"No! No!"
Teresa, who finally reacted, interrupted her voice deliberately. Mo Tan, who was speaking, waved his hands in a panic and said: "I...I didn't mean that! I just didn't expect that you...you would agree to this willful request so easily."
Mo Tan blinked and replied in a brisk tone: "Just like any college in this city will not reject any student with outstanding talent and decent character, as the person in charge of the organization, I will not reject it either. I would mind if anyone as talented as Ms. Teresa joins, but..."
"Just?"
Teresa, who originally thought she was stable, After hearing this, I immediately became nervous again.
“It’s just that what I said just now is just my heartfelt words from the position of ‘organization leader’, but if you think about it from another perspective, look at this from the perspective of Ms. Teresa. To be honest, I’m not sure if this is a good idea.”
Mo Tan calmly stared at the unimpressive silver-haired girl in front of him, who looked like a cute little animal, and considered it. He said in a tone of voice: "I have tentatively learned about your situation from Foster and Lian. To be honest, maybe for both of them, the organization I created can indeed be called an 'ideal workplace', but for them, For you, Ms. Teresa Tarossa... that may not be the case.”
The girl with her hair rarely loose, wearing glasses and a hat to disguise her two-piece suit, pursed her lips and remained silent for a while before whispering: "I... am serious, Mr. Tan Mo."
" Of course I know you are serious, but 'serious' does not mean 'correct', nor does it conflict with the word 'impulsive'."
Mo Tan smiled in a relaxed and cheerful tone, but there was something in his eyes. There was a flash of obvious, cold and cruel cold light, which was enough for a girl like Theresa, who had lived in a greenhouse since she was a child and was protected by Richard and others with all their strength, to have never experienced and felt it. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, as if her soul was about to be frozen.
Under this suffocating pressure, not only unable to move, but even breathing gradually became difficult, Teresa Tarosha was shocked to realize that the person in front of her was not Fox. Seniors like Ted Ward or Lian Yuanrui, who cared deeply about him, were the leaders and founders of a gray organization, a monster that could control those two people.
What makes her even more uneasy is that outside Academy City, outside Danu Military Academy, outside the warm and comfortable circle that many people have created for themselves, such monsters are almost everywhere.
Teresa is very smart. She knows that perhaps for her, this man named Tan Mo is very special and a daunting existence, but she also knows that there are many such people in the outside world. !
"So, are you really ready for enlightenment, or... do you think you are ready for enlightenment?"
Mo Tan smiled, with a hint of light in his eyes. The chill that almost frightened the other party to the point of being unable to move gradually subsided. Go, the curvature of the corners of his mouth softened, and he said softly: "It is true that our organizational structure is very loose, but after you join, you will inevitably know some secrets, and many of these secrets should not be made public. information, in other words, this It’s not a game that can be easily withdrawn from.”
Teresa hugged her shoulders subconsciously, nodded slightly, and muttered in a low voice: “I...I know...”< br>
“You better really know, Teresa Madam, after all, life is not a game that can be repeated if you want to, or restarted if you want. There are many choices. Once you really make it, you must bear everything that this choice means, whether it is responsibility... …It’s still a price.”
Mo Tan took a sip of the coffee he had just ordered at the front desk and the waiter had just brought over, and said lightly: "After meeting you, I came to the same conclusion as Foster and others. To be honest, Trey Ms. Sha, in my personal opinion, the best thing for you...maybe is to graduate from the college without any worries, and then stay at your alma mater to be a teacher or something. I believe Dean Richard will take good care of you, And with your ability, you are likely to take over his position in the future. This must be the dream life of many people."
Teresa nodded silently, and then raised her face after a while. Staring at Mo Tan with burning eyes, he said softly: "That may be the case, Mr. Tan Mo, but that is not the life in my dreams."
"It's a naive statement, but I don't hate it."< br>
Mo Tan chuckled and tapped the rim of the cup twice with a spoon: "So? What is the life you want?"
"I don't know."
< br>
Teresa gave a straightforward answer. Her slightly trembling voice gradually became calmer, and she said seriously: "But I know very well that it is difficult for people like me to have the right to choose their own future. Accurately. Say, it’s like me... Mr. Richard, Mr. Andre, Meng People like Priest Lamolock and Pastor Hei Fan of the Jingjiao Kingdom."
Mo Tan raised his eyebrows and smiled playfully: "I understand, I understand what you mean, Miss Theresa. So... you think the people around you can't protect you? I noticed that you just mentioned When it comes to Richard, there is also the dean of [Mercury Gold Military Academy]"
"I believe them, but I don't want to be a nestling for the rest of my life."
Special. Lesa wrung her fingers and lowered her eyes with a reddish complexion: "Pastor Heifan, also He doesn't like being in the spotlight, but he still chose to fight with me yesterday, which shocked everyone. He is destined to become famous, but I know he doesn't like this."
Mo Tan clicked his tongue. He smacked his lips and asked narrowly: "Do you know him very well?"
"From a certain perspective..."
It was clear that Pastor Hei Fan and Teresa, who had a close relationship with each other, hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded vigorously: "I think so. "
Mo Tan shrugged, spread his hands and said: "But Priest Hei Fan is like me, an outsider...Ms. Teresa, you should know what I mean by outsider, right? For us, the price we pay for all our actions in this world is much lighter than that of people like you, and there is even... no comparison at all."
Teresa was silent, but she also said. There was just silence, and his eyes still looked at Mo Tan firmly.
‘I’m a bit clumsy and can’t persuade you, but I just want to join, even if I’m just willful! ’
She seemed to be conveying this.
Mo Tan, on the other hand, laughed wildly in his heart, sighed softly, and then asked very seriously: "So, I would like to ask, Ms. Theresa, have you...killed someone? ”
“Eh?”
Teresa was stunned for a moment, then hugged her shoulders and shook her head vigorously, saying repeatedly: "No, no, I have never hurt others."
"Well, I I think so.”
Mo Tan nodded and said very calmly: "Ms. Teresa, do you know that in the near future, our organization will be involved in related business? Admittedly, it is not our original intention to undertake the killing commission, but After all, we want to open the door to do business, and we are not an aboveboard organization. If we want to gain a foothold in the industry... we still have to take some cost-effective shortcuts, do you understand what I mean?"
< br>Teresa nodded with a complicated expression and said softly "Hmm".
“Essentially, we are an inclusive organization, and our members are mostly comrades who seek excitement and just lack a job. We may have different positions, different identities, and even mutual differences. They are hostile to each other, but this does not prevent everyone from sharing resources, exchanging what they have, and contributing to the development of the organization when necessary."
Mo Tan blew a strand of hair on his forehead and smiled. He said: "In fact, in my eyes, at least as far as the current cadres with a color of 7 or above are concerned, they are a group of lawless people, and besides Foster, everyone else has more or less A few lives, and I would never mind making this number more. ""What you want to say is that our organization does not represent justice, and none of our companions are heroes..."
Teresa nodded slightly and understood the meaning of Mo Tan's words without any delay: "Mutual help and utilization is the foundation of everything. Becoming a tool for each member to achieve their goals is the value of this organization?"
< br>Mo Tan smiled and nodded happily: "It's so gratifying that you can summarize the key points so quickly."
"I...actually have always had a pretty good mind. ”
< br>Teresa smiled slightly awkwardly, and then said softly: "So, the higher the level within the organization, the more resources, intelligence and connections can be used, and there will also be a certain degree of trust between cadres. We will help each other within, and as for the relatively macro direction, it will be controlled by specific talents like you, the leader, and Senior Foster?”
“So far, that’s true.”< br>
Mo Tan nodded slightly, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "But it sounds like it's quite high-end, but in fact we are just ordinary nobody now, and we might accidentally break up one day."
Special However, Lesa shook her head after pondering for a moment, and said seriously: "No, I think compared to most 'organizations', it's ugly... uh... does it really matter here?"
< br>"If it has anything to do with it, it's already too late."
Mo Tan raised the corners of his mouth happily and waved his hands: "Don't worry, this store is the property of a friend of mine, and the people inside It’s pretty trustworthy.”
Teresa, who suddenly became nervous, breathed a sigh of relief and continued: “I think the existence form of [Harlequin Card] is very ideal, at least in terms of vitality, it is extremely tenacious, and The leader is an outsider like you, so the possibility of accidentally breaking up the gang...theoretically does not exist."
"It seems that you have not wavered, Ms. Teresa."
Mo Tan took another sip of coffee and said leisurely: "Even though you don't even know what you want."
"Because of this, I am more interested in joining [Harlequin Card]."
Teresa took a deep breath and whispered in her soft and melodious voice: " If, as you said, everyone in the organization is different and has their own ideas, purposes, and positions, then I may be able to find the answer here, not to mention... I may also need to use organizational help. I will achieve my goal by myself."
Mo Tan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Theresa critically: "Is this the reason you used to convince me?"
"No, this is the reason I used to convince myself."
Teresa shook her head and suddenly laughed: "I don't think I need to convince you, Mr. Tanmo, after all, you said it yourself As I said, as the head of the organization, you will not mind any How can a talented person like me join the team?"
Mo Tan laughed dumbly and was silent for several seconds before saying quietly: "The [Harlequin Card] will stain your hands, Ms. Teresa. I have to remind you, although as far as I know you don't have any fighting ability Your strength and physical fitness are not even comparable to those of ordinary girls of the same age, but your most valuable point is bound to cause problems that are not as simple as one or two lives."
"I will. I refuse arrangements that go against my bottom line, but I will do my best to do so. Try to make the best contribution to the organization."
Teresa answered without hesitation, and then looked at Mo Tan's playful eyes nervously: "So...if you don't mind. If..."
"I hope you stay in Academy City and continue studying at [Danu Military Academy]."
Mo Tan said his decision lightly, and a look of loneliness flashed across Teresa's face. At the same time, she smiled and said: "At least...continue your daily life for more than ten years during the assessment period."
Teresa's beautiful eyes suddenly widened and she whispered: " You mean...you agreed?"
"I never found a reason to refuse you from the beginning."
Mo Tan leaned on the backrest lazily and added. : "Of course, although I hope you can continue your 'daily life', during this process, you will also be required to be responsible for some things within the organization. Of course, you have the right to refuse, but I guarantee that everything will be within your ability."
Teresa nodded vigorously, her pretty face flushed with excitement: "I...I will definitely work hard!"
"Okay, let's stop talking about it today. "
Mo Tan then stood up and said with a smile: "I have an appointment soon, so I don't want to stay too long. All in all, it's nice to meet you, Ms. Teresa."
"Ah, please...please wait a moment!"
"Huh?"
"Well... I heard that the members of our organization have that... that... uh... I don't suspect that you are perfunctory with me. It doesn't matter if you just forgot to take it, but... I don't know when I Okay..."
"Oh, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me."
Mo Tan interrupted Theresa with a look of surprise on his face, and then casually handed her a metal card decorated with beautiful rubies: "Please keep it, your code name and identity certificate."
< br>"Oh! Thank you Tan Moxian...ah!!"
"What's wrong?"
"This...this this...this...that...are you sure you didn't give me the wrong message..."
"Let's talk about it later. I'm really in a hurry."
"But..."
"Well, see you later, Ms. Ace of Hearts~"
