Natalie took a deep breath and called her code name. “0172,1 know that you once had great authority in Nefelibata. Your code is the best proof. My brother said that you were like a tamed dog, but I disagreed. Later, you rebelled and left Nefelibata, but now it seems that my brother is right.”
“You’ve been brainwashed by Nefelibata. You don’t even think what they did is wrong.”
In the face of such a straightforward and sharp accusation, Sadie smiled and said, “Even if I think what they did is wrong, what can I do? Don’t you know how huge Nefelibata is? It’s not just a simple sentence.”
“-Nefelibata will always exist with humans.”
“No one can do anything to it, including the leader of Nefelibata, because it grows in human flesh and blood and takes root in human bones. After so many years, it continues to grow, and no one can resist its temptation. One day, it will become ‘right’ and people will ‘take it for granted’. I’m nothing in front of it. I just want to live a good life with my lover. I am selfish, but I don’t feel ashamed.”
Natalie’s fingers trembled.
Sadie wasn’t wrong. In front of Nefelibata, a single person was too insignificant. If one went against it, they would be considered a different species. The end result would only be that they would be wiped out.
Sadie curled her lips and said, “Rain, I appreciate your courage, but… I’m sorry, I can’t help you. The A18 drug is my trump card. I don’t want to get myself and my lover in danger.”
“Crystal is a destined victim. This is her fate. I like her very much, but that’s all.”
Natalie covered her eyes with the back of her hand. She took a deep breath and said, “If you believe in fate so much, why did you escape from the operating table? Why did you steal the A18 drug? Why did you create that car accident? Sadie, you never surrender to your fate.”
