"Everyone for me, I for everyone? This… Isn't that a saying from the revolutionary forefathers? Is materialism being haunted? This isn't scientific…" Kong Yan mumbled, his face pale.
Jiang Bing's face was grim. "Shut up," she said. "Listen carefully. They're not saying 'for.' The word is slightly different… it sounds like 'are'!"
Everyone for me, everyone *is* me. I for everyone, I *am* everyone!
"'For,' 'are'? What are you talking about?" Joe asked from beside them, a confused look on his face. "That voice has a flawless London accent…"
"That's wrong. It's Russian," Ivan countered.
