章節 138: Identity

"Are you the man responsible for this note?"

There was actually a part of him, the idealistic remnant of his former self, that yearned to believe in the U.S. military's goodwill, to place his trust in individuals like Captain Carter, and to consider revealing the truth and working together for a more advantageous third round and beyond. However, the persistent questioning from Captain Carter and the implication that he was the one responsible only solidified his determination to protect his identity.

Despite the secrets he had shared and the good he had done to save lives, Alan understood that people would always feared the unknown. They were most likely unable to accept the truth that he had been sent back in time by extraterrestrial beings to participate and cheat their own deadly game. The most probable outcome, in his eyes, would involve being labeled as brainwashed by these alien entities, leading to his capture, interrogation, and a permanent lack of trust.
