Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 257

EP.257 The Kingdom of Steel and Faceless People – 6

“You came earlier than I thought. I wanted to finish it before you arrived.”

Seriously. Originally, I was going to finish all the preparations before they arrived.

They succeeded in infiltrating through the outer wall. I looked inside in advance with mind-reading and knew that no one was there, so there was no hesitation in my steps.

Having infiltrated such an empty control room, I soon ran into a big problem.

I don’t know what is.

Since there was no one to read my mind, I couldn’t figure out the structure even after looking at the numerous mechanical devices in front of me.

damn mind reading. It’s called mind reading, so you can only read people’s minds. You can read people’s minds, but you can’t read this machine?

I looked to see if anyone could help, but even the princess is useless here. I thought of indiscriminately destroying it using Aji and Nabi, but that was the last resort.

Reluctantly, I waited for ‘Carafald’. When he gets here, we can read his thoughts and figure out what the obliteration device is.

Then ‘Carofald’ arrived.

“You said you couldn’t stand it, so why did you come back?”

“I was afraid that you might not be able to come to a conclusion about what to do with the smelter. Shay, haven’t you decided yet?”

The regressor who had been stabbed in the corner flinched. I openly clicked my tongue.

I’m ashamed. I’m ashamed. No matter how much ‘Carafald’ controlled it from behind, what should I do if I’m really swung around? Only then can we call it a regressor.

“…Yes. I almost got it though Just wait a little bit and everything will be resolved.”

“It’s okay. That is why I came.”

I walked slowly across the control room with my hands behind my back. While everyone couldn’t approach the unfamiliar atmosphere, I quickly read ‘Carafald”s thoughts.

‘It’s the worst. The stage has left my hands. The current went over there.’

The way ‘Carafald’ coped with the unfamiliar flow was to erase its presence with banal reactions and jump on the bandwagon.

If you forcefully show your presence, we’ll be suspicious… that’s the reason, but that’s not all.

He is a natural actor and director. A well-organized stage sometimes gets out of the hands of its maker. As a natural-born actor, he felt an instinctive reluctance to interfere with the moment when the play was about to transcend the script.

It’s like the disease and the zero track. Not all of these things are normal. How did the military gather these guys?

anyway. thanks for the time bought Does that mean you’ll watch as long as this stream doesn’t end, so as long as my line continues meaningfully?

good. don’t accept

I walked slowly and lightly placed my hand on the towering steel rod.

“Mr. Shey has the power to be awe-inspiring. You can easily kill everyone here without having to borrow the power of an obliterator. As long as you wield a heavenly cherry tree and a jizan, you can bury this entire building under the ground.”

“Don’t do that!”

“yes. i know. Mr. Shay is skeptical about killing them because it is possible. Whether you use a device or use power, it’s up to you anyway. I am afraid that once you cross the line, you will continue to cross it without any hesitation.”

Historia was taken aback when she heard the story. Although it was a little, it was because he understood the feelings of the regressor.

I don’t know if the regressor returns, but in any case, her hands literally have the power to be astounded. What if a regressor who has crossed the line uses his power at random? What if you don’t consider the aftermath at all?

A terrible slaughter that will mark a mark in the history books will take place.

“It’s a bit uncomfortable to have, but once you throw it away, it’s a precious definition you’ll never get again. To be honest, I think what Mr. Shay has is very precious.”

By the way, isn’t this steel rod an obliterator? Even though I held it with my hand, ‘Carafald’ didn’t show any reaction.

that persona. A bit cumbersome to read It’s like reading a book full of vicious narrative tricks.

Anyway, this doesn’t look like an extermination device. Continuing my speech, I moved to a lever with a red handle.

“But Mr. Shay and Lia are in a different position now. Leah has already crossed the line. Lia, who grew up in the military and took power in the military, has now decided to give up everything she got in the military and be on our side.”

I casually placed my hand on the red knob and continued.

“Lia is the head of the military. I desperately honed my talents to get there. But the reason Lia became the General was not to be loyal to the military.”

“day off. Stop…”

Hey, stop interfering. If my lines are cut off, ‘Carofald’ might return to Sieghrund.

He raised his voice even further to cover up Historia’s words.

“Stray friends. Motives who once lived together. The children of Hameln who were abandoned by the military and devoted themselves to the resistance. Even my life and death became unclear. There is no place for us in the military. So Leah became a general. You have to become a general to be able to appoint an adjutant.”

“You…”

“But because all of her friends were selfish, Lia ended up giving up the post she had worked so hard to achieve and sticking to this side. You’ve already crossed all the lines. Therefore, Lia must achieve meaningful results in all operations. Because this is the last thing she can do.”

The regressor looked at Historia again, wondering if he had finally understood it.

“iced coffee. you were like that Somehow.”

‘The resistance, which was defeated in the war and the new kingdom entered, succeeded in the uprising and took the place where the republic entered. After all, occupying a position was an end in itself… Okay. I can use this for the next round.’

“Noisy! Don’t mess things up with half-hearted resolution. See if things go wrong. I’m going to run away at full speed with only Huey and Shiati!”

Sorry for revealing your feelings, Historia. But if I don’t say meaningful lines, ‘Carafald’ won’t wait for me. I couldn’t help it.

By the way, isn’t this red knob too? What the hell is an obliterator? Maybe this? One more step to the side…

‘…This flow is dangerous. Now, this stage, this line. And to that which he has now stepped on. What he’s aiming for!’

bingo. It was this.

I smiled and stamped my foot hard. Then the square plate opened, and an unnaturally large cog wheel rose slowly from the inside. It was quite large and looked like a rudder steering a huge ship.

After all, something heinous like an obliteration device shouldn’t be in a position to accidentally touch.

“After all, Shay or Leah. Neither of them is bad. It’s not that I’m wrong enough to think about this and feel responsible. But how can you not feel responsible? Even if you are a sinner, so many people’s lives depend on it.”

“It is as you say. We don’t have to fight.”

‘Sheesh. I got help again. I don’t know why, but it’s convenient to have him. Same with Musketeer and Tyrkanjaka. I’ll have to take him with me in the next round.’

The regressor seems to have thought that I had come to mediate their fight. Sorry, but you’re only half right.

I’m not here to stop you from fighting.

“But when you think about it, isn’t it a bit unfair? The military created a device that would kill all humans in the smelter. Why should we worry?”

Having said that, I gripped the irregularities of the cogs with both hands. I felt a heavy sense of being part of this huge factory.

The cog gear and what I said.

The regressor intuitively realized what I was trying to do and shouted.

“wait for a sec! You can’t!”

“It’s a dilemma, creating an extreme situation and forcing a decision. A little cheeky, right? The military created the environment, and if we do it, is it a dilemma? That’s funny! Isn’t the military nation a human nation? Even if it is a country, it is the same!”

The last word became an angry cry. I squeezed even the strength I was sucking on and turned the cogs with all my might. A device that had never been used since it was created moved slowly.

A device called the Obliteration Device that will lead to the death of all laborers in this smelter.

“Whether to save the heinous criminal for war or to execute the death penalty righteously! It’s time for you to think about it!”

somewhere in the smelter.

A laborer walking on a hook heard a loud rattling sound. He lifted his head helplessly.

I just finished a given task and I’m exhausted. Chains running along the rails were now supposed to lead him to the break room. There, he would have a honey-like rest until his magical powers were restored.

But for some reason, now the chain was leading him to some unfamiliar place, not to the common room.

At first, I didn’t understand what was going on. He was convinced after dozens of checks that the rails were moving in a different direction than usual.

something different from usual The sense of heterogeneity that would come ominously to an ordinary person was hope for him.

At the top of the mountain, wherever you walk, it’s downhill.

Likewise, the daily life of the Alchemy Steel Refinery is the most terrible in the world. So, if you get out of this routine, doesn’t it mean that it gets better that much?

Could it be that something went wrong? Strangers came in here earlier, did they touch something wrong? Couldn’t the supervisors run right in and grab him again?

Fearing that the peace he had gained through his efforts would disappear, he tried to hide his liking and followed the chain’s lead as if nothing had happened.

But he didn’t know.

The place where the chain pulls him is because it melts the Alchemy Steel. That we were in the middle of Purgatory, where magical flames melted steel.

You need a living human to use magic.

In other words, if you use a living human, you can get magical power.

The steel made by melting humans should make a more beautiful sound than ordinary ones.
