Chapter 183 Aslan Seeks Redemption
Walking on the blood that smells of rust flowing down the ladder steps.

Nigel, wearing a mask, exudes an ominous aura, and behind him are a group of cold subordinates with poker faces.

It was obvious that he was eager to capture Lux and take her back for a thorough interrogation.

Especially for a beautiful woman like Lux, who is a member of these special departments wandering in the dark.

There is really an indescribable temptation.

"Nigel?"

When the gunshots rang out, Aslan instinctively stood in front of Lacus.

But when he stood in front of Lacus, Aslan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

The main reason is that Lux behind him is no longer the popular singer on the PLANT satellite cluster.

She is now a wanted fugitive, charged with treason.

"I think there might be some misunderstanding?"

But having already stood out, Aslan obviously couldn't just retreat like that.

So he tried to ease the atmosphere and figure out what was going on.

For example, as Lacus said, the Freedom Gundam was handed over to Kira.
"Aslan, get out of the way."

In response, Nigel looked at Aslan and shook his head.

"I don't blame you for hiding the news. After all, she is the so-called mediator."

"She is naturally charming, especially someone like you who spends every day with her."

"Mediator?"

When these words were spoken, both Aslan and Lacus were surprised.

Aren’t we the adjusters?

What is a mediator? And a charmer?

Why did Nicholas say this and what was his reason for saying this?

"I don't understand what you mean?"

Lux immediately stood up, her words were cold and persuasive.

"The world is not right now. The war between PLNAT and the Earth Sphere cannot continue endlessly."

"7 of Junius 21's compatriots died, and countless others died in the Earth Sphere."

"Do we still have to continue fighting in the face of such a large number of casualties?"

"Do we have to kill everyone on the opposite side and let the world be torn apart by the hostility between the two races?"

"My partners and I just want to end this meaningless war."

"When the world is caught in a vortex of hatred and cannot extricate itself, someone has to take the lead and try to calm everyone down."

“I believe in mutual understanding through open hearts and minds, and then reach mutual forgiveness.”

"The path that breeds peace will always appear!"

"Who understands what you are saying?"

"Just like what you asked me just now, what is the meaning of fighting?"

“Who understands these things, and who can make the world understand them?”

"The enemy opened fire, isn't it natural for us to fire back?"

"Now that the war has begun, there is no point in not achieving the final victory!"

"If the war ends with peace talks, then what do you think of those soldiers, Lacus?"

Nigel was indignant at Lux's words. He waved the gun in his hand and swept it across the dead bodies under the chairs.

"And didn't you make the same choice yourself? Otherwise, why would you prepare so many ambushes?"

"Who are these ambushes aimed at? Me? Or Aslan?"

"You kept saying you chose dialogue, but when the time came, didn't you choose force as well?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

Especially Aslan who was standing in front of Lacus, he had never thought about this before.

But the words of his good friend Nigel made him think deeply.

Yes, today it was because Nigel rushed in with his men.

If Nigel hadn't brought the men with him, then Lux would have ambushed them in advance.

Who is its target?
Is it possible for me to have a falling out with Lux?
"Weapons in the hands of righteous people are tools for protecting world peace."

"But once a weapon falls into the hands of a bad guy, it will bring murder."

"I am willing to communicate with everyone on an equal footing, but that doesn't mean I will give up my right to protect myself."

Nigel's accusations were not threatening at all to Lux.

What he said was well-reasoned and at least there was nothing to find fault with.

It is also in line with the current thinking logic, especially in the Western world.

"Yes, you carry a weapon to protect yourself, and I carry a weapon to endanger others."

Nigel shrugged his shoulders in Aslan's sight, and just when even Aslan thought that Nigel would continue to argue with Lacus.

"Bah, bah, bah."

After a few gunshots, the gun in Aslan's hand was unexpectedly shot down by Nigel.

"Nigel, you?"

Aslan never expected that his good friend Nigel would actually shoot him!
"Aslan will explain it to you later!"

Nigel rushed onto the stage in one step, bypassed Aslan who was covering his hands, and rushed straight towards Lacus.

Taking the gunshot as a command, the agents behind Nigel also rushed forward.

Just as Nigel was about to catch Lux, another burst of gunfire suddenly rang out.

If Nigel's intuition hadn't been sharp enough, there would have been several holes in his body.

Just behind the stage, led by Martin, the adjutant of Desert Tiger Bartfield, who also wears a mask to hide his identity.

These people had been secretly watching everything that happened in the theater, and when Nigel suddenly attacked, they intervened immediately.

After all, this woman, Lux, always has a hidden card.

It is a model of keeping something in reserve!

Suddenly, gunshots rang out and bullets flew everywhere in the small theater.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while until the people Nigel arranged outside the theater rushed in.

Of course, as time passed, Nigel had an endless supply of manpower after all, and when more and more pursuers arrived.

There is no doubt that the balance of victory has tipped towards him.

Lux's men were also well aware of this, so without further ado, Martin prepared to protect Lux and evacuate quickly.

Deep down, Martin didn't understand why Lacus had to take the risk to contact Aslan.

You know, Aslan's last name is Sarah, the son of Patrick!

"This way, please!"

But now that things have come to this, Martin can't blame Lux.

He surrounded the pink princess beside him and walked towards the secret passage of the theater.

"Aslan, stop Lacus! Don't forget your last name is Sarah!"

Seeing that Lacus was about to run away, Nigel shouted at Aslan who was not far from Lacus.

"Aslan?"

Looking back suddenly, Lux stared at her ex-fiance with a penetrating gaze.

“Do you think the world is right now?”

This question was thrown to Aslan again, and as Lacus expected, Aslan showed signs of wavering.

It was this slight hesitation that allowed Martin to take Lux to the back.

By the time Aslan came to his senses, he had already lost the best opportunity to stop the enemy's retreat.

"Lacus." Aslan clenched his fists with an extremely complicated expression.

Especially when Nicholas came to him, he was like a defeated rooster.

He lowered his head, not knowing how he should face his good friend.

"asshole."

Nigel, angry at his friend's lack of fighting spirit, came to Aslan, picked him up and looked at his friend's lifeless appearance.

"Do you know what your last name is? It's Sarah!"

"It is precisely because countless fellow adjusters believe in Sarah, the first one who chose to use force against natural people."

"We, we at ZAFT still have countless talented people who have been fighting against the naturals until now!"

"sorry."

What else can I say? Aslan said softly with a confused mind.

"You." Nigel took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions in his heart.

Looking at Lux and others who had already run away, he placed his hope on another person.

I hope the other party's arrangement can work.

On his side, Nigel sighed again.

"Come with me, and I'll show you the truth behind this world."

After saying that, Nigel turned around and led the way outside.

Watching his friend walking out, Aslan hesitated for a moment and then followed him.

"Where are we going?"

Aslan shouted from afar as he chased Nigel's back.

"Mendel, where it all began."

From the relics given to him by Captain Cruze, Nigel learned some truths about this world.

Having been to Mendel, he understood the facts that should not have been revealed at this time.

Afterwards, he went to see Captain Cruze's best friend during his lifetime - Durandal!
Now, Nigel also wants to take Aslan to see the truth!
"Mendel?" Aslan was puzzled but did not ask any more questions.

On the other side, Lux and his group were hurriedly walking through the secret passage in the theater.

When they finally reached the end of the secret passage, just when they thought they were about to escape successfully.

"Ms. Lacus Cullain, I've been waiting for a long time."

A group of people came out from their hiding place with guns in hand, and they faced Lux ​​in large numbers.

"You are?"

Staring with her beautiful eyes, Lux showed no fear at all, she faced the visitors and asked.

"we are……"

The capture of Lacus ultimately came to nothing, and Aslan had no idea what happened next.

"Is this the truth?"

Of course, he didn't have time to think about Lux now.

After returning from Mendel, Aslan sat in Durandal's house, his head lowered in disbelief.

Learn about Kira's origin and Captain Cruze's life experience.

Although the mediator Nigel did not explain.

But Aslan finally understood how strong the malice of human beings could be.

And behind the birth of every adjuster, there are so many sacrifices.

And the Adjuster is the dream of mankind!
"Can the Destiny Plan really change the world?"

He raised his head and asked as if seeking salvation.
