Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 196
EP.196 Tantalus Homecoming Association
What is the best way to spread the poison that should destroy the inside of the body as quickly as possible?
That is to jump on the bandwagon that spreads the fastest. Most poisons spread through blood vessels, and blocking blood flow or sucking out contaminated blood has long been known as the most effective treatment.
But what if the poison has already flowed through your veins?
God was invented for that time. People made it difficult, so I hope you pray hard.
“Military. You also pray that we be excreted in silence. We are already on track!”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
The meta conveyor belt is the main artery of the military and we have already jumped on it. In other words, it means that it flows through the body of the military.
Thanks to the unauthorized use of the largest logistics facility in the military, we were able to enjoy a comfortable and comfortable trip.
“Yeah. I came up with a very ingenious plan, isn’t it! To get on the military road and run away. On this land where there is almost no chance of being overtaken, we only have to be vigilant in front and behind!”
As the saying goes, the meta conveyor belt was a very safe means of transportation.
There is no need to worry about being surrounded. In order for the enemy to appear, you had to block it from the front or chase it from behind, but thanks to this, there were only forward and backward directions to be wary of.
Well, military forces will block our way once we reach the stop, but until then we’re safe.
The regressor looked back and forth and then replied.
“That’s right. Great. It seems like there’s no pursuers right now, so I’ll have to finish what I’ve been keeping quiet. Sit here.”
“yes? You want me to sit here? Is that something you would say before a school teacher scolds you?”
“All right, sit down.”
With a sad face, I quietly sat on the floor. The floor of the meta conveyor belt felt cold after a long time.
Standing in front of me with arms crossed, the regressor spoke with a rather confident tone.
“ruler. Won’t you share the information soon, Mr. Hameln’s Pied Piper?”
“To be honest, it’s a bit unfair to share.”
But even though my body obeys orders, even my heart won’t break. He answered with an extremely bad attitude, picking his ears.
“Isn’t Mr. Shay who is more secretive than me, who was only interested in sharing information in the first place? What are you aiming for with a legendary sword like a thousand cherry blossoms and falling into Tantalus yourself? He is young, but strong and knows a lot. Even if I wanted to be a legendary being, I couldn’t figure out anything.”
It’s my survival instinct to say… and quietly praise it. Anyway, I handed over Abu, not flattery, and I passed the responsibility.
“How does sharing start when you don’t disclose it?”
You got it wrong first!
However, the regressor replied brazenly, perhaps feeling a little more confident after coming out of the world.
“joy. Even though you never asked me anything You acted skillfully as if you knew everything from the start.”
“You know that. It’s teacher-teacher because we didn’t ask each other.”
“therefore. I won’t say much about the past either. But I helped you when you were being chased by the military, shouldn’t you know roughly what it is about? Can’t I help you without any explanation or belief?”
The regressor said that and looked at me with sharp eyes.
“Especially if it’s the main culprit in the Hameln incident. Can we go around with such a heinous man of unknown identity or intentions?”
It’s a theory. I never thought I’d be attacked by a regressor with justification. Is this a class reversal revolution?
Having nothing to say, I had no choice but to agree.
“Looking at it, you are right. I can’t resist. You have to work hard to survive.”
“I know. Come on, tell me all about your identity.”
I didn’t think that I could hide it forever. If you try to hide the body that has already been caught by the military, it will only increase suspicion.
Tyr, who had been quietly listening to the story under the umbrella of the car I was deciding on, suddenly spoke.
“phew. I would have saved you no matter who you were or what you did. The only thing I was sad about you was that you left without a word.”
But if it’s on my side, the story is different. He immediately changed his attitude and shouted.
“But there are also favors without a price! What moves people’s hearts is the warm sun rather than the harsh north wind! Mr. Shay, look at Tyr and reflect on yourself!”
“I’m just worried that you’ll get hurt where I can’t see you. Wouldn’t you rather become a vampire without worrying about that?”
“Mr Shay. I will reveal my true identity, so please forget what I said earlier.”
The regressor snorted and clenched his chin. Tyr, who was rejected with a single knife, murmured lonely.
“Do you hate it that much? The life of an elder shouldn’t be so bad…”
It is a contradiction from the simultaneous appearance of a vampire and life. In addition, if he regains his life and becomes a member of Tyr’s household, where the boundary between himself and the world is clearly defined, problems will arise in many ways.
It was the time when I was about to confess honestly, ignoring Tyr, who was speechless.
Aji, who had been spinning around me since earlier, glared at me and put a can of meat in his mouth and dropped it in front of me. Aji said, sticking out the canned food with his front paw.
“bruise! Eat food!”
“Oh yes. I’ll eat later. thanks.”
“Woof woof!”
Aji concessions? what happened all of a sudden?
After accepting the canned food anyway, I started explaining.
“I am actually from Hameln.”
“Is that the end?”
“As I’ve emphasized several times, I was number one in the whole school at the time. His rider is Historia, the current Six General, and… the youngest magician in the past. It included Lancart, who was called the successor of the Majang.”
When the story of Historia and Lancart came out, the regressor frowned for a moment. you too You’ve run into those two in previous episodes.
I haven’t read everything about what happened yet, but looking at the complex emotions I feel, it seems that it was an ambiguous relationship that was neither an enemy nor an ally.
‘Historia of the growth castle and Lancart of the Demon Temple? How is it that the names of all the giants… even surpassed the two of them to be number one?’
It seemed that my classmates were big enough to have faced a regressor in the past. There are three motives left, but I, who was number one among them, became a petty criminal. This is why kids don’t know what they’ll be when they grow up.
decided. Let’s skip the alumni gathering in the future.
‘…I don’t know everything, but one thing’s for sure: those two are already strong at the national level. Then maybe you too.’
no no no Please don’t overestimate. Are you going to fight the military soon? Now, if I receive such expectations, I might be driven to the front and die.
I said urgently.
“If Historia is Qigong and Muthu Lancart is magic and technology. I won first place with only one head. If Historia was unrivaled in Qigong and Martial Arts and Lancart was unrivaled in magic, I scored first or second in most subjects that covered them.”
Of course, it’s all thanks to mind reading. Thanks for the mind reading. It would have been impossible without you.
“Did you?”
“yes. It’s not a joke, I was really a promising talent in the military. It’s not that I’m strong, but if I learned anything, I could quickly learn to a high level. He easily mastered magic, qigong, and alchemy, and was good at strategies and tactics. Most of all, because of his excellent understanding, he easily realized the power of other qualities.”
However, the skill that can be penetrated by mind reading is limited to the user level, so the bottom line was revealed around the second year.
Anyway, talent is talent, and 1st place is 1st place.
“That’s why I was called the all-rounder of Hameln.”
“…hmm.”
‘It’s easy to learn anything… Something suddenly makes me feel bad.’
wow! oh my god. What does the regressor say to me! After repeating the regression, he eventually rose to the ranks of the strong!!
I heard that other people’s rice cakes look bigger. Wasn’t it enough even with the fraudulent power of regression! wake up!
“Anyway, the three of us won the first, second, and third places in Hameln side by side. The military government provides equal education, but that’s in order to excavate a gemstone that might be there forever. Equal education is not worth much in a world where one strong man is alone against a thousand.”
An investment in one person often yields better results than an investment in a hundred.
In fact, since it is efficient, it is not an exaggeration to say that Hameln’s educational resources were used for a few percent of the top ranks.
“At that age, Historia, who defeated a field officer in Dalian, and Lancart, who awakened and built an image of a unique magician, received special treatment and went through a different curriculum from general departments. Maybe that’s why the other students in Hameln…”
“Don’t spread the story in a strange way. you?”
The regressor sharply interrupted me
as I was about to sneak past.
“Ahaha. You are sharp.”
Coming out of the abyss, it’s pretty sharp. I laughed awkwardly and said.
“I was very vague. Most of them are proficient throughout, but not to the point of being outstanding, but it was a waste of talent to leave them alone. Maybe that’s why I paid attention from a slightly different side.”
“Where is it? intelligence?”
“It’s similar, but a little different. The Mystery Dissolution Department under the direct control of the Military Secretariat. I wasn’t a mysterybreaker, but I was meant to be.”
As if that explained quite a bit, the regressor sighed and nodded slightly.
Tyr, who could not keep up with the conversation, intervened, slightly raising his parasol.
“Wait a minute. What is the Mystery Destroyer?”
I answered that question.
“The Mystery Destroyer is a slightly different type of archaeologist who seeks to uncover the mysteries hidden in the world and harness its power.”
There are many mysteries in the world.
A rider of lightning descending a cliff of cloud or an island of swirling flotsam. Mureungdowon or a jungle where all kinds of bizarre creatures live. Elephant’s Grave and Sangun’s Mountain, etc.
An organization that unearths such mysteries or lore for purely practical purposes. The Mystery Dissolution Department of the military.
After the explanation, I briefly summarized it tailored for Tyr.
“They were the ones who devised the plan to ‘keep’ Tirna Azi in the bottomless pit. In the case of the eponymous Tirkanjaka or the dog king puppies, they are a great threat, but you can benefit from keeping them under them and taking them out when you need them.”
When his name was called, Aji ran over and shouted.
“bruise! did you call me?”
“Not yet.”
“bruise! okay! Call me later!”
Aji took a few steps back and began to observe me with twinkling eyes.
He sees what business he has with me. do you want to play? Well, Tirna Regressor isn’t the type to play with Aji.
good. I’ll release your frustration later.
anyway.
“Hoo. then. Hugh, you must have known about me before you came down the abyss.”
“I know, I know. Although knowing in this case was closer to knowing as knowledge. I had no idea what kind of person Tyr was because I learned it by playing at a table.”
“I see…”
‘I’m curious. How does the country of the military treat me?’
It wouldn’t be that good.
Tirkanjaka as a knowledge was not a very good character even when viewed objectively. Even excluding the record written from the position of Seonghwangcheong, the history was splendid.
The number of people who participated in numerous wars and fought with their own hands is in the five digits. At the end of the battle, the blood was taken from the corpses, so there was no blood, screams, or light left on the battlefield where the vampires swept away… At that time,
I wrote a lot of bad things about Tyrkanjaka. But when we met, the feeling was different.
The story leaked a little, but what do you mean in the end? I didn’t get better results than I expected.
I don’t know if you’re dealing with people, but purely extracting information from books wasn’t my specialty.
“So it was. The fact that you seemed oddly familiar with Tantalus and those in it. Especially Aji.”
“Yes. Especially for the mystifiers, the king of beasts is something that must be known.”
“There must be quite a few warrants of creation among the Mystery Destroyer.”
“I noticed, but neither they nor I showed it. I was just a student at the time. Why would you reach out to a child who doesn’t know anything because you’re missing something?”
A story that goes back and forth. The regressor agreed to a large part of my story.
“Then, how did you break the seal of Jizan, the master’s weapon? Is that also the power of the Mystery Destroyer?”
It would be difficult to explain this part without mind reading, so I asked again, pretending not to know, with my eyes wide open.
“yes? Are you free?”
“You released it and you don’t know?”
“How do you know? Artifacts grant power only when they pass a test. Did I just pick it up and swing it?”
‘Does lifting itself mean that I have partially passed the test?’
“…What did you answer for that test?”
“I told Jiseon-nim to calm down a bit instead of testing the corpse again and again. It seems you listened to me well. Did you hear it?”
“Maybe I’m just mad at you?”
Anyway, my explanation was perfect and well structured. When the clumsy background knowledge of the regressor magically interlocked, the regressor could not continue the suspicion and passed on as it was.
“In the process, did you become the Pied Piper of Hameln?”
“That is really unfortunate. I was framed!”
This time I protested sincerely. The regressor narrowed his eyes and answered.
“But why are you being called the Pied Piper and being pursued by the military?”
“Because I was framed, I was tracked down! No, think with common sense! Killing all my motivation because I have something to gain? Because of that incident, I, who had a bright future, became a petty criminal! Does Shay look like a maniac who gave up everything he had and killed people?”
When I beat my chest as if I was going to die because of the unfairness, the regressor looked at me as if taking a measurement and then agreed.
“Looks like a lunatic, but not that lunatic.”
‘In the first place, the case in Hameln was a suicide. I used that incident in a useful way later to destroy the military.’
and. Still, it wasn’t such a hardship. There is also a world line where the military is ruined thanks to Hamelin. Suddenly you feel rewarded.
Anyway, I appealed to the fact that I was harmless now.
“I also got caught up in it and barely escaped, so I don’t know. One thing is for sure, the military has framed me.”
“The military government framed a student? Doubtful.”
“What does the person who was framed know? It must be the military or the Lancart guy. Because I barely escaped the danger of death. If not, would you have lived as a criminal even after receiving that evaluation in Hameln?”
That’s right. It is true that I was a petty criminal and that I was caught unjustly. Hidden in it is the subtle truth that I am a mind reader.
So the regressor did not find a single oddity in my words.
‘If you’re the last graduate of Hameln… yes. It can be. Easy to explain actions and abilities. Now my doubts are relieved a little…’
I can’t help it. People are both rational and emotional. I feel close to pleasure when an explanation that fits the part I want to believe comes in like a puzzle.
Actually, it’s not that far from the truth.
Around the time I was hiding that feeling in my face.
‘for a moment. don’t take it straight away I still can’t understand.’
Why?
Are you really not human? Doubt is serious!
‘It makes sense. But something still hangs. If you’re a Mystery Destroyer, you might be able to figure out how to do this or that… but something can’t go on like this. My senses are telling me that.’
This is why I don’t like guys with good intuition, really.
But trust is not just one kind. Apart from doubting me, the regressor believed me again.
‘Apart from that, Tyrkanjaka is right. Whether you’re an enemy or an ally… you’re definitely an ally. Let’s not ask further.’
I heard a small murmur in my heart. It was the moment when my treatment was decided.
