Movement Six: Blast from Past
Location: Somewhere in Cambodia
Intense gunshots, followed by a proximate explosion, crushes all windows, everything inside including bookshelves, walls, ceiling, carpets cannot escape from being damaged. A man risks himself to sneak a peek outside: "No way out, rebels has swarmed here." No way out, death is the only possible escape, all of these are because this family has some savings, because their ancestors are immigrants from China. "Grandpa…" A terrified boy is holding an old man's hand, but gets no response, for his grandfather had been killed by blind-flying shrapnel. Main door of this apartment is being punched by rebels with gunstocks, although it had been held by heavy furniture, but it's only a matter of time for those ruthless butchers to break in. Outside the door, someone is shouting: "It's stuck! Bring dynamites!" This is the last chance, the man rushes to the corner of the room, opens a hidden cabinet, disposes everything inside, including gold-bars and jewels. "Hide inside! No matter what happens never come out and make any sound!" The boy, scared and confused, is foisted into cabinet.
Commander Simcity is waked up with a start: "Many years, I still can't forget…" He recalls the second part of that day: Explosion, cluttered footsteps, gunshots…don't know how many hours had past, Simcity, the boy who was hid inside the cabinet by his father, came out, only found all his relatives were murdered and everything could be robbed had been taken. Human's souls are equipped with reactive armor, only can be hardened when receive blows, after a long, shivering night, the young boy left this devastated place to seek for chances. Encountered a group of mercenaries, and was asked by the leader for what he wants, he only answered "Revenge". From that day on, he fought on this war-torn land as a mercenary. In following years he served under different clients and commanding officers, until two years ago, he meets Price, who came to Cambodia to develop forestry resources with a wealthy business magnate, Mister Katsura, he joined them and ventured through many places to now.
Simcity's sight fixes on desk, on a Japanese book "Complete Book of Six Codes". Contradict to many people's imaginations, lots of weapon-wielding persons are quite well-educated. Simcity himself is among those "lots of", during his seven-year career of being a mercenary/commando, he learned various languages and jurisprudence by self-study, also planned after enough money are earned, he'll move to Western Europe or North America to spend rest days as a lawyer, for his father, grandfather, greater-grandfather were lawyers. Simcity opens the book, inside there are two photos as bookmarks, one is very old, an old man with a young couple, holding a baby boy, the other one is very new, a long-hair girl in high school uniform…
