Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 251
EP.251 The Backdoor of the Mind
No one is tying these laborers down now. What binds them is the rule or fear created by the military. In other words, it doesn’t really exist.
“We mean it. They’re breaking into the military headquarters. You mean destroying the military’s assets and at the same time tying up the military’s feet?”
I walked slowly and tapped on the nearest car in the hangar.
“If you don’t run away with the wagon, you will have no choice but to destroy each of these precious wagons that you have worked so hard for.”
A feeling of bewilderment spread. The attitude is that it has nothing to do with us destroying the wagon. It’s a positive response.
The bolt of the mind is not one. Rather, it is more like an iron fortress with dozens of gates. Even if one door is closed tightly, all of them can escape if you sneak open the back door. It doesn’t matter means that this is a door without a bar.
“I say it differently. If you want to preserve the automatic wagon, get on it and move it to a safe place. If not, like this.”
Just the moment I flipped my finger, the car’s body was terribly distorted.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Someone’s scream rang out. It was such a terrible sight. The darkness that enveloped the wagon wrapped around the body like a snake and gradually tightened it, driving sharp fangs into it.
Broken gears scatter like intestines. It seemed to return to the days when alchemical steel was ingots.
“I mean I have to break them down one by one. I’m a worker like you, so I want to reduce my work if possible.”
Of course I didn’t do it. I only borrowed Tyr’s power for a moment. But in their eyes, it must have looked like I was dealing with this darkness.
“You are too much! An elaborate wagon!”
“Are there any good people here who would spare me the trouble of destroying all of this one by one?”
I squeezed my hand and shook it, and Tyr, who saw it, followed the same action with darkness. The automatic wagon rocked back and forth, spewing out parts even more violently.
“Or should I do the irrational labor of destroying one side and fixing the other side, where I break it and you collect better parts to make a new one?”
They cannot escape. It’s because the military has tied the heart. He instilled fear and fear in them, saying that he would punish them more direly if they left their workplace without permission.
So, the backdoor I create is not about leaving the workplace.
that reduces work.
“ruler! Let’s make our union! They’re laborers who don’t want to work with each other! I don’t break and you don’t build, so let’s compromise! Move the wagon to safety! As we headed north, quite a few bases were razed to the ground, so the place must be empty! You can park there for a while!”
Someone with a wrapping cloth on their head jumped up first and ran towards the car. With a rattle, she got on the car first and turned the wheel, and the car started moving with a clicking sound.
“…I can’t let it break.”
“okay. if i had to recreate it. I’d rather…”
The first time is difficult, but once the dam bursts, the rest flows naturally. The workers who were looking at each other quickly nodded and raised their bodies. They let their minds out through a backdoor I had set up.
Following the mind, the body also went out. Because the chains that bound them only bound their hearts to the end.
“uh? what?”
Rumbling.
It was quite a spectacle to see so many wagons of workers fleeing into the darkness.
It is not so big that the country stumbles, but it will be a hard loss to ignore even from the point of view of the military. I was proud of the fact that I had stolen the military’s taxes.
The regressor, who had just returned from destroying the factory, opened his eyes wide when he saw the hangar where people were leaving.
“What about the automatic wagon that was here?”
I said, banging the last remaining one.
“are you okay. I’ve left the last one here. The best one.”
“What about the slaves? They acted as if the factory would catch fire as well. Did you let them escape?”
“Escape! the sound of shouting. They just took part in an active evacuation to protect the automatic carriage, an asset of the military.”
“what. It’s the same thing.”
“It is different.”
I left the back door open, but the chain remains. Some of the laborers will quickly escape after enjoying their freedom for the first time in a while, but some may hang out nearby without leaving the headquarters.
Rather, it is more dangerous. both to themselves and to the military.
“From the point of view of the military, I would hate a guy hanging around for no reason more than a worker who runs away. It will cause more chaos in the army because they were less inclined to run away!”
The images of us who rode the automatic carriage until now will remain in your mind. There is no choice but to be sensitive to each automatic carriage. I’ll grab them all to check the contents.
Allergy operation against the so-called military.
‘You mean you used this many people as bait? I know what will happen to the laborers who ran away on their own…’
Do I have to care about that? that’s the case over there
It is they who made the decision, and it is the military that harasses them. I have no idea why I should feel responsible for intervening in the bilateral relationship.
The regressor murmured as he looked behind the moving carriage.
“You… you are quite relentless.”
“no. He said he wanted to cut down the power of the military. I did my job successfully, so why are you scolding me?”
“It’s not really a criticism.”
“It’s not a criticism, it’s a compliment! If you did a good job, say ‘good job’ or ‘thank you’. No wonder you say that!”
A person with poor sociability knows that if you say something out of your mouth, you will develop an allergy. The regressor was just that. The type who absolutely avoids social activities, including compliments.
“What’s new…”
“Wow, using people is no different from the military.”
As I grumbled, I let out a word, and the regressor became angry.
“That’s not it! No matter how much I do, I’m not as good as the military! It won’t be enough to praise!”
“Now, let’s do it. You will have to be even more careful as it is pickled on your stomach.”
“Chi-it…”
The regressor, who had been huffing, spat out while glancing at me.
“It’s quite good. good job.”
“Not enough.”
“… you said you did well honestly. What more do you need?”
“Oh, it was nice that the thing just had a bit of sincerity.”
“No, this is what I meant to praise you… Eighty. yes you are good.”
It was around the time the regressor gave a scolding.
Someone stuck out his head from the first carriage. It was a princess whose hair was wrapped in a cloth.
“That Huey? Is the play over?”
Oops. You haven’t said it’s over yet. I thought I’d notice it, but I wonder if it’s been waiting inside.
I gave the princess an ok sign.
“yes! It was a good acting princess! Thanks for your efforts!”
“after. I’m glad it helped. I was very nervous because he suddenly asked me to act.”
The princess squeezed and opened her sweaty palms a few times, sweeping her chest.
To prevent hair from getting caught in the cogs, laborers often cut their hair short or wrap it in a cloth.
Thanks to this, the princess managed to fit in among people without revealing her unique pale pink hair. And using her ability to bring peace to the group, he was the first to mount a gun and run to the wagon.
all right After all, there is no business without a wind catcher. Originally, the job is to open the plate on which the hukou was caught.
“Tyr worked hard too! After all, it was an overwhelming performance! I might become the best grand magician girl of the year!”
[This is it. Those who watch a play are always happy.]
Tyr, who was covered in darkness, smiled calmly. The regressor found out the truth and murmured.
“what. It was an instigation. How are you different from the military?”
“It is different! At least I won’t be summarily disposed of or sent to an inner ‘lab’ for disobedience! What I gave you is freedom!”
How could you say such abusive language? You see me like an army!
Leaving me running around, the regressor opened the car door. Inside, the princess greeted her.
“Oh ball! You have worked hard!”
“Princess too. You must have suffered a lot, but you worked hard.”
Why do you naturally praise only the princess? Are you discriminating?
“Ah, it’s not Annet…! This is the only thing that helps…!”
“no. It will be more helpful in the future.”
‘Because it was all thanks to the princess’ ability that the new kingdom, which was reestablished after the fall of the army, kept its life in the midst of the chaos. Heung Even I… I didn’t have any hostility even though I felt disillusioned. With that power, I can definitely use it better.’
The princess, whose heart seemed to be knocked out at the remark of her firm will, avoided her gaze while holding the wrapping cloth tightly with both hands.
If your heart is like that, praise is very timely. don’t be fooled princess It really is a thorny road.
This side had all the luggage loaded in the automatic wagon that had been prepared in advance. With the Historia and the Regressor on board, the preparations were complete.
Until now, all of our movements were being captured by the military. However, during this half-day when night has arrived and darkness is everywhere, we are faster than the military.
That is exactly what Historia was aiming for. maneuver warfare.
I’m afraid it’s not a general from a military country, so the operation is like a military country.
“Leah. Where is your next destination?”
Historia, who rode last, gave instructions.
“Alchemy steel smelter. It’s a natural procedure. If the supply of Alchemy Steel is destroyed, the mid- to long-term supply plan will be disrupted.”
“Oh, good job. Is Jangseong a Jangseong? What is the distance and direction?”
“early. 20 minutes northwest. In the first place, they were built close to each other in order to quickly supply materials for the wagon.”
The alchemy steel smelter is good. If there are a lot of alchemy materials, I might be able to replenish the card I wrote a little.
In the meantime, the regressor who recalled the bad memories frowned.
“Alchemy steel….”
Alchemy steel smelter. A place where the flesh of a military nation is formed by alchemying minerals and flammable substances and refining them into steel. There are many factories that produce other items from Alchemy Steel, but this is the only one that produces Alchemy Steel.
The Alchemy River is the flesh of the military nation. Therefore, if this place is destroyed, the military should be terrified because they do not know when the stock of alchemy steel will run out. From weapons to building material packets. A terminal sentence is passed on all the resources that exist in the military.
but.
The regressor could not hastily nod his head. Because I knew what kind of place it was.
“It’s… a place that melts iron by hitting people…”
Historia affirmed the regressor’s answer.
“It’s a place full of heinous criminals who can be killed right away.”
Alchemy is required to make Alchemy Steel. In order to use alchemy, knowledge of structure and magical power are required.
And the easiest magic source to create is a living human being.
in other words.
The Alchemy Steel Smelter is a factory that produces Alchemy Steel by squeezing a lot of people.
It is part of the ‘inside’ that the workers at the automatic carriage assembly plant did not want to go to even if they died.
“An Alchemy Steel Refinery?”
the princess responded. She didn’t know what the Alchemy Steel Refinery was, but she recognized it as important.
“There! Our ally is hiding there! They will be waiting for us there!”
‘It’s your chance! I think we can finally help…!’
The princess said innocently, but some people who knew the truth of the place, including me, couldn’t readily answer. The princess’s attitude was so bright that she couldn’t bear to point it out.
“Hiding? In the innermost workhouse where only those arrested for committing a 5th-level crime that cannot be rehabilitated go?”
However, Historia, who didn’t care much about the princess, took a more cynical shot. At the unexpected words, the princess asked with rabbit-like eyes.
“yes?”
“It’s like a mouse sneaking into a cat’s house. It must have been caught, not hidden.”
