Chapter 90: Fell Asleep
“Ah, it’s actually a woman, and a beautiful woman at that. Then you guys…” Xenia Lewis blinked her huge eyes and asked curiously.
“When we were on a mission, there were only enemies and our own people. There was no distinction between men and women. That woman can only be considered a captive. We treated her injuries and then tried to get the information we wanted from her. But other than cursing us, that woman didn’t give us any information from her.”
Xenia Lewis asked curiously, “Then wouldn’t you force a confession?”
“Of course we will. But we don’t torture people like that. We can only intimidate them. But these methods are useless. I’m also surprised to see such a tough woman. I’m a new recruit in that team, so I’m responsible for carrying this female captive.”
“Isn’t this your luck with women?” Xenia Lewis curled her lips.
William Scott shook his head gently and said, “How is this my luck? Do you really think that a female captive with an injured leg is not a danger? Her body was searched for weapons, but she actually kept a sharp stone without anyone knowing. I almost got my throat sliced by her.”
“Damn, she was so ruthless?” Xenia Lewis was also shocked as she subconsciously looked at William Scott’s neck.
“Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough to avoid falling into her trap. We were ambushed a few more times. There were no major losses, but it was extremely dangerous. Then we finally arrived at our final destination. The battle was intense. Five of our team members died. We don’t know how many of our enemies died. In the end, the mission was completed.”
“What about the female captive?”
“We released her after we finished the mission, but I’ll never forget the way she looked at us with hatred back then. Especially at me. She had the kind of hatred that conveyed she wanted to tear me into a million pieces.”
“Haven’t you been carrying her? Does she still hate you that much?”
“Our loyalties are different. In her eyes, we’re enemies. We killed her comrades, her friends, her family.”
“Oh, that’s true. Now that I think about it, she’s pitiful, too.”
......
“Yes, I’ve been on many missions since, but the first one really left a deep impression on me.”
“After that, did you see the woman again?”
“No.”
“So if you see her again, will she try to kill you?”
“I think so. After all, I was her enemy. But we were both camouflaged at the time. Even if she saw me again, she probably wouldn’t have recognized me.”
“I see. That’s a little better. I always think it’s a terrible thing if a woman is crazy about revenge.”
William Scott chuckled and said, “Actually, there’s nothing much. The possibility of encountering her again is almost zero.”
“Then did you kill someone?” she probed again.
“What do you think?”
“You killed people too?” The corners of Xenia Lewis’ mouth twitched.
William Scott looked at her and deliberately pulled a long face, revealing a fierce expression. He said in a rough voice, “That’s right. After so many years, I don’t even know how many people I’ve killed.”
“Ah…” Xenia Lewis let out a low cry and subconsciously shrank back, a look of fear on her face.
But soon, she reached out and pinched William Scott. She kicked him twice and said angrily, “You horrible scum, you scared me.”
“I’m not scaring you. I’m telling you the truth.” He shook his head gently.
Xenia Lewis pouted and said, “You said it yourself. You were on a mission, so it’s normal for you to kill enemies. You’re not a bad guy who kills people for fun. So I’m not afraid of you.”
Then, she blinked and said, “Then how did you feel when you killed someone for the first time?”
William Scott immediately widened his eyes and looked at Xenia Lewis as if he was looking at a monster. “It’s better if you don’t know about this, okay?”
“I have to know. In the future, if I film a story about wars or special forces, I’ll have to face this problem. I have to make the actors understand how it feels to kill the enemy every time. Only then can I truly showcase humanity and to make the story more realistic.”
William Scott gave her a thumbs up and said, “You’re really dedicated to your work. However… This is really not a good feeling. To be honest, I fired a lot of shots at that time. I don’t know if my bullets hit the enemy. I only felt that way when I saw the enemy’s corpses when I cleaned up the battlefield after the battle.”
“How do you feel?” Xenia Lewis asked nervously.
He sighed and said, “My stomach feels terrible. I feel like vomiting. It’s a little like motion sickness.”
“Is it that simple?” Xenia Lewis didn’t quite believe it.
“That’s right. After all, I was professionally trained. Coupled with the fact that my comrades were injured at that time, I was filled with anger, so I didn’t feel very strongly.”
She thought about it seriously and said, “I see. It seems that under different circumstances, different people should have different reactions to the situation.”
“That’s for sure.” William Scott shook his head. “All right, let’s go to sleep. It really feels like a killjoy to tell such a story before bed.”
Xenia Lewis stuck out her tongue and said, “Who asked you to tell me such a bloody story?”
“Okay, all right. This is my fault too. Sleep.” With that, he closed his eyes.
This time, Xenia Lewis did not disturb William Scott again. She still had to digest the story that he had just told her. She had to analyze human nature. At the same time, she pondered about how such a story should be integrated into her own movie in the future.
Although there was a beauty beside him, William Scott could still fall asleep very quickly. It was not because Xenia Lewis was not attractive, but he forced himself to focus on something else. The feeling by the stream today was even more attractive to him. Recuperating from the injuries in his body was what he wanted to do the most when he returned to the city.
However, when he wanted to take the initiative to enter that state again, he could not find it at all. Moreover, this made him quite tired and he fell asleep unknowingly.
After more than twenty minutes, Xenia Lewis suddenly heard a soft snore. She turned to glance at William Scott and realized that he had actually fallen asleep. She was dumbstruck for a moment before the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a sweet smile.
She was lying beside him and he could still fall asleep. Such a man was really reassuring. Her cousin, Yvette Quinn, had indeed found a very good man. Moreover, he had so many stories. It would definitely be difficult to find a man like him even if she wanted to. No matter what, she could not allow this man to escape from her cousin’s hands.
