Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 231
EP.231 When I asked why the resistance
regressor was quiet, it seemed that he was reading the subtle tributary flow felt in the ground. Perhaps thanks to Jizan’s power, the regressor instinctively realized that they had reached their destination.
“This is the Northeast stopover. Everyone be quiet.”
The regressor, who had been concentrating using all his senses, put his finger to his lips. I just said it.
“It is an order, Mr. Shay. everyone be quiet Keep mopping because it makes no noise.”
“…you should be quiet.”
The Northeast stop was noisy. As if the aftermath of the chase on the other side hadn’t reached this far, I could feel the bustle of the laborers who were absorbed in their work. Chunk-chunk-chunk. The noise of a huge crane grabbing a container with a harsh roar was loud enough to reach inside.
In the midst of all kinds of sounds, a very slight movement of people headed this way. The regressors were the first to detect it.
“Wait a minute, someone is coming this way.”
Tyr, who only had very fragmentary knowledge about the workers and the destination, asked with a puzzled expression.
“I heard that this is definitely a place where large packages are delivered. Aren’t you the worker who came to pack your luggage?”
“no. The container we are in is destined for the South, so you won’t even look at it from the Northeast.”
“Then what are they? Aren’t you coming this way?”
“It’s either one. Or the military that came to check us. Or… the Resistance looking for us for some other reason.”
The regressor put his finger on the handle of the cherry tree with a gloomy attitude. To subdue the enemy immediately if it turns out to be.
Now, whether the opponent is the resistance or the military, I, who uses mind reading while the regressor is waiting, read their thoughts one beat first.
‘Hey, why do we have to work here?’
‘therefore. I should rather use this opportunity to do more productive activities.’
Saying it’s fun because you don’t know what the world will be like is just a pathetic gesture to win at least a mental victory.
Because I don’t get bored reading thoughts.
‘Why are the Tantalus escapees who are invading the military are here? Nonsense.’
‘Rumors say that Sijo is included. There’s no way an ancient vampire can help us, is it? If you want to fight the army, you will call the blood relatives of the principality. Or make us all members of his household and use them.’
‘Even if it wasn’t for the princess’s orders.’
As a mind reader, I guarantee it. It’s fun enough to know the answer in advance and guess it. If you want to refute, read your mind.
The sound of a grumbling heart came to me. Well, there’s no room for error, no matter how much I think about it, that side seems to be the Resistance.
The regressor was right. The resistance seemed to be someone in a fairly high position, if not all, stretching their feet here and there to seize opportunities. It’s been a while since I’ve been in conflict with the military, so I’m meeting you like this.
It was when they, like all the resistance, with a faint sense of purpose compared to their ambitions, came close to them.
“Hey there! Aren’t you doing an involuntary check now? Check it out quickly!”
A loud voice urged them from the other side of the stopover. was the supervisor.
At the word interrogation, the regressor’s expression hardened. At the same time, strength entered the hand holding the cherry tree.
‘Is it a checkup? If you get caught here, things will get messy. If the Far East troops rush to headquarters right away, we’ll meet in the middle. Should I run away now?’
Oh no Dangerous.
In fact, this is not a checkpoint that picks us up. It is a regular inspection that usually occurs in a quasi-war situation. If we had known that we were riding on the meta conveyor belt, the manager, not the workers, would have personally stepped in and searched the container.
However, the regressor does not know whether those outside are soldiers under the command of the director of management or the resistance disguised as laborers. So the moment you see them, you might wield a heavenly cherry blossom.
“yes yes! I’ll check it out soon!”
“going!”
A reply was heard from outside the container. It was close. They grumbled inwardly so that only I could hear them as they approached the container.
‘We are the resistance, but what about the inspection!’
‘There will be no one anyway! Who gets in the container?’
‘Sheesh! Just try to rise up. All of you military pigs are bitter!’
Before that, you guys seemed to be used first. For a very nervous regressor.
I can’t. i have to go first
Cheeky. The sound of the container lock being released is heard. As the interlocking pieces of iron are released, a tense feeling lingers inside the container.
A regressor who took a step closer while holding a cherry blossom. Approaching the door earlier, I raised my finger and carefully tapped the container wall.
Tok. Todo dok to do dog. Knock knock.
once six times twice. A number that doesn’t seem to mean much, but has become a secret code for the Resistance.
When I heard a chuckle from inside, I felt startled on the other side.
‘uh? Who signals?’
‘Wait, really…?’
It is common sense to run away or report to a supervisor if you feel a presence. However, instead of retreating, they approached looking around nervously. Shaking hands unlocked the container lock. Then, the door opened left and right, and two snarky-looking laborers appeared.
An obvious resistance… but in fact, other than that, it’s no different from an ordinary laborer.
We were reflected in their field of vision. The two looked at each other with trembling eyes, then jumped in surprise when they heard an annoyed voice from the other side.
“Is the inspection over!”
My decision to go out and greet them was an excellent choice. If I hadn’t dampened the shock beforehand, they might have screamed in surprise.
One of the workers stammered in his reply.
“Ah, here… there’s nothing wrong!”
“Then hurry up and close it! Isn’t the next container coming!”
“yes!”
While shouting in a slightly trembling voice, the other person hurriedly held out a finely folded piece of paper from within. When I accepted it, I nodded slightly and closed the container door extremely politely.
A devastating thought came through the closed door.
‘Why is this real?’
‘You’re a princess! Foreseeing this…! Is noble blood really something different?’
thud. clap. At the end of the sound of the locking key, the presence moved away again. Darkness came back to the container and it began to pass through the middle of the noise of the stopover.
While I was breathing a sigh of relief, the regressor strode forward and slapped me on the shoulder. It was a skinship that felt good, but it hurt a little.
Find out one more reason why you don’t have friends.
“I was surprised by your sudden appearance! Speak up and act!”
“You were in a hurry. More than that, I was also surprised, so could you tell me in advance and hit me?”
“uh? Can I talk and hit you?”
“Looking at what you say, I have no hope. Just hit me gently.”
“How did you know they were the Resistance anyway?”
Actually, I read my thoughts, but the words that came out of my mouth were different from the truth.
“You have no choice, do you? Let’s say those people are the police who came to find us. You’ve already been caught, so you have to run away immediately. What about resistance? You should think about contacting them first. In any case, we had no choice but to warmly welcome guests from outside.”
“You are quick to judge!”
Perhaps in a good mood, the regressor was delighted and handed over a paper parcel from me. The regressor who took out the enclosed contents read the words written on the paper.
“To my knight… Hmm. be a knight Did you go out on your own? It’s been a while since we’ve been in contact like this…”
‘He always contacted me whenever I did something against the military. It’s very… I don’t like it, but if it’s this much, it might be better to overturn it once.’
The regressor murmured and pulled a handkerchief from the folded paper. It was a luxurious handkerchief that could only be handled at Cheonuimubong.
When it was a country of knights in the past. The handkerchief was a symbol of the lady and high-ranking nobility. It was also a perfect tool to use as a marker in that it was a daily necessity and there was nothing strange about anyone carrying it.
“I’ll hang it on top of the container as soon as I pass the stopover. If I have this, I will come to you from the other side first!”
While the regressor was examining the handkerchief for more messages, Historia silently looked at the handkerchief and was lost in thought.
‘…Is this right? Just watching them storm into the headquarters…?’
Historia has little loyalty to the military. I just regret the tragedy that I couldn’t prevent at the time.
If what we are about to do leads to tragedy, we will prevent it in any way. Historia had such a determination.
‘The Resistance is a group of people who hate the military. I know how vengeful they are. If they wield this much power… even if it’s less bizarre than Hameln’s, wouldn’t a greater tragedy happen?’
Historia looked at us side by side. Tirkanjaka, the founder of the vampire swordsman, a boy whose identity is completely unpredictable. I am one of the two kings of beasts.
Her vigilance soared madly from the moment she touched me. His suspicions toward me were so exaggerated that I almost forgot that I was reading my mind and almost protested.
‘With Huey involved, I can’t predict what direction the situation will go. Wouldn’t it be better to run out and announce their existence?’
what? for a moment. run out?
Historia’s thoughts naturally led to action. After finishing her judgment, Historia immediately got up and tried to run outside.
Just before that, I threw myself first and grabbed Historia by the shoulder. I was afraid I would scream, so I covered my mouth with both hands.
“town!”
no wait. Why are you in such a hurry? If I hadn’t read my thoughts, I would have been in big trouble!
Historia is tied up, but if she wants to, she can shake me off. But screaming is impossible right now. Anyway, the sound is the vibration of the air. I can’t make enough sound if I cover my mouth and nose.
It’s enough to shout after throwing me on top of something, but it’s already too late. It caught the attention of the regressor.
In the sudden commotion, the regressor looked this way and asked.
“huh? what are you doing?”
“Oh no. It seems like it’s time to get hungry for magic vinegar, so I’ve been feeding it!”
When I removed my hand from covering her mouth with an ambiguous smile, Historia’s mouth was wrapped in a magic weed. Aha, the regressor who nodded as if he understood, tilted his head as it were.
“But does it really have to be passed down that way?”
“It’s a secret world only for grown-ups who don’t know about naive children who don’t bloom magic weed.”
“Feeling superior over something insignificant!”
After all, it’s better to tease a little to change the mood. The regressor frowned.
“Because it is an enclosed space, refrain from smoking! How much do you smoke?”
“haha. I’ll tell you to restrain yourself… Leah! You have to cover the time and place! uh? Shay and Tyr are taking care of you, and they are about to leave like this!”
The other side hasn’t done anything yet, so don’t act rashly by making arbitrary assumptions. I shouted with that meaning.
The tremors subsided in Historia’s body.
‘…still quick to notice. As soon as I saw him running away, he stopped me. Were you watching me…? Or is it just that I have a wide field of view?’
Historia closed her eyes as if she had given up and shook the magic weed in her mouth with her lips.
“Huey Bull.”
“Am I a lighter? Chit I know you’re tied up so I’ll do it for you.”
I groaned and set fire to the tips of my fingers. The flame seeped into the end of the cigarette and lit the last flame.
Magic herb has long been famous for its role as a sedative. The reason is simple. There is no way that a new flame will be ignited from breathing in the ashes that have already been burned. What remains after burning will sink, but will not rekindle.
Historia, who had inhaled the magic herb, calmed down.
‘too… It was emotional. Actually, there is no point in running away now. There’s that child in the Resistance… Maybe I was afraid of meeting him. But I’d rather face him than ignore him.’
I knew who it was, but I didn’t have to repeat it.
It wasn’t long before he came back with the Resistance.
