Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint chapter 288

Blessed Country, Cursed Man – 11

“Why, Captain Abbie?”

A slight reluctance is felt from Captain Ab. That’s weird. He is Captain Ab, who has never felt any repulsion towards me no matter what I have done so far.

“You. If your wishes come true. What about the other signalmen?”

“You will find freedom. Like Captain Abbie.”

I said it insignificantly, but Captain Abbey heard it as if it was a large number. she said earnestly.

“As the main building heard, your plan must be… It looks like they’re throwing out their signalmen.”

“Are you going to throw it away? who leaves whom The communicator has better specs than me, right? He has received officer training, and can use unique magic. He is even the most powerful man who controls the military from behind.”

“So it is. Signal Soldiers are very strategically valuable. Signal Soldiers know many of the military’s secrets and have access to various military facilities. If you uncover the identity of the signal operator and cause confusion, the signal operator is the first to be at risk.”

it would be If you are an enemy of the military, you will be the first to target the signalmen. We have to get information and destroy the military’s communication network.

What if it was on the side of the military? What if they are loyal to the military? Will they protect the signalmen? It’s probably hard.

When he finds out that a signalman has given him orders up to now, will he be able to continue to do so in the future? It won’t be easy. either rationally or emotionally. Rather, they might try to get rid of the signalmen.

I agreed with Captain Abbey’s words.

“Captain Abbie has a point.”

“then… .”

“But I don’t see any reason to care.”

Captain Abbey held his breath. I said still holding UL.

“The signalman is an indulgence that the military has made for its country. No one can hold them accountable because they have taken away their lives and used them like tools. No, I didn’t even know in the first place. Thanks to that, the military is clearly a man-made country, but it is on the way to becoming something greater than humans. A country that rules the human species.”

Until now, the kingdom was ruled by a king. There has been a lot of discussion historically about the division of roles between the king and the country, but in any case, the king is a human being. Until now, humans have been ruled by humans.

But the military is not ruled by anyone.

“Especially, the position of the signal fighter is even more conspicuous. Even though they have access to the various facilities of the military, they actually rot in a room without a drop of hot water, right? As the signalman does, all humans are ruled by an army that doesn’t really exist! I would rather die walking on the ground with my feet than to die from being consumed in such a dark room, wouldn’t it?”

“… Positive. The main building, I think, is better. The main building does not know what joy is and how precious it is.”

okay. Captain Abbey tried to save his life even when his life was in danger. It was very enjoyable. If Captain Aby realized what it was like to be able to do it, surely… .

“However, I think the main building has a better way.”

“yes? Better way?”

Why do you disagree? If she had seen the fierce life of ordinary people in front of her eyes, she would surely have the same thoughts as me.

“You were there in the main building. Thanks to being with you, the main building happily embraces all new encounters. One, the other operators don’t have you. As the main building encountered, in a harsh world, the new will come as a threat rather than a pleasure. And other operators will most likely not be able to overcome it. The main building is… .”

Without speaking, Captain Abbey chose the horse.

There is no particular reason to For a signal operator, who had only made objective judgments through the eyes of the military, an argument that was not bound by rules or interests was too unfamiliar. Captain Abbey managed to find something that suited his heart.

“I don’t like it. Even if it is irrational.”

If you don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do. That alone could be a reason. The world flows according to the rules set by God, but it is the mind that moves humans.

I nodded.

“understood. But just because I don’t like Captain Abbey doesn’t mean I change my mind. Like Captain Abbie, I still have a sense of duty to defeat the enemies of mankind.”

“What you want to overthrow. You are attacking because it is not human. Is the main building’s guess correct?”

“yes. The enemy of man is man, but no matter how vicious the killer is, he cannot be the enemy of mankind. Are you the same person? Just like a stomach ache doesn’t make my stomach my enemy, and I can’t fight because I hit my head by moving my right hand.”

When I answered with a shrug, Captain Abbie stuttered slightly.

“… The main building is your ally. Isn’t it?”

read the flow of thought. An image was drawn in Captain Ab’s mind, which was a white blank paper without any drawings until a while ago.

The wish of a signal soldier who first rebelled against the military.

“The military is a country that follows the ‘command’s orders’ that are transmitted through signalmen. Everyone believes in the existence of a command that exists somewhere.”

“Actually, it means the same thing, right? Command’s orders are information processed by the signalmen.”

“different.”

“yes?”

I asked, pretending not to notice, even though I knew roughly how it was going. Captain Abbey, with a determined will, told a lie that a signalman should never say.

A lie that will become the truth from now on.

“The main building is A.B. The first of the signalmen.”

Captain Abbey put his hand on his chest and said.

“There is no announcement of status between signalmen, but their identification names are arranged in the order of their ability. The main building is a correspondent named Abbey, who has been vacant for a long time. Except for A, who is known as the original signalman, it can be said to have the most powerful abilities… . A was not a signal operator.”

That’s right. that’s a virgin

A divine power that is different from the original magic. An anecdote that the first saint answered the call of a believer even from a distant distance.

UL talked with a signal operator who wanted to communicate with it. If there’s anything else, it’s just that it’s not sympathy, it’s just a conversation. Saint Juliet and the Signal Soldier are too different to sympathize.

So the military kingdom became a kingdom without a king.

However, Captain Ab denied UL’s actions.

“So the main building is the most powerful signal force. They have unrivaled power among other signal operators, and can even dominate them. Therefore, the will of the main building has the greatest influence on the consensus of the signalmen.”

Words that narrowly avoid lies. Is it true or false? I don’t know. The signalmen are all conducting organic communication, and even at the end, the will conveyed by one signalist spreads out, blends, and blurs.

Just like the human nerve.

It can be either false or true depending on the criteria. However, the party, A.B., said with a firm will.

“All of the will that the military command center conveyed came from and spread from the main building. The main building is the headquarters.”

“… In a word, Captain Abbey was the king of the military?”

“Positive.”

Captain Aby pressed his head deeply with a modest motion. I’m trying to say it in a serious way, but it doesn’t suit me at all because I have a mild impression.

“To say the least, I think I was being manipulated a little while ago.”

“Bo, this is possible because the main building accepted it!”

“Well, I guess so. There is not one or two puppets in the world.”

Are you going to come to Inje and say that the military is actually another type of kingdom ruled by humans?

right. Captain Abbey could be someone’s enemy. But it can never be the enemy of mankind. Because Captain Ab is also human.

“It’s a pun.”

“One thing is true.”

“Certainly, Captain Abbey can do it. If you are Captain Ab, who has the life and desires, you can take on the responsibility and guilt… .”

I murmured as if flowing, and let go of the hand that was pulling the wire. The wire was untied, and Saint Juliet regained her freedom.

Even though there was a blood bruise from the pressure on the wire, UL looked at me with questionable eyes. If a saint exerts her power, if she calls an angel here, I’m like a dead life.

Normally I would never have done it, but now I can’t. I shrugged and said.

“Uel. Kill Captain Abbey.”

“… What?!”

Everyone in this space took a deep breath. In particular, UL was agitated as if struck by an unexpected blow.

what’s so surprising That’s what he’s been trying to do so far.

“Why are you doing this all over again? It’s your job. Dealing with stray carriers. If the signalman becomes mentally tainted, that is, if he loses his innocence and becomes an ordinary human… Weren’t you worried that this would happen?”

“… If I kill someone, I will kill you before that child.”

“Ah, yes it is. I wouldn’t be able to touch the military until Captain Abbie died anyway.”

I rolled the wire around with my fingers. After tying a skein like a thread, pulling it all the way to both sides, a wide knot gathered in one place and returned to the card in an instant. I sighed as I shuffled the changed cards into my deck.

“Man cannot be the enemy of mankind. Captain Abbey claimed to be the commander, and he’ll probably make it happen. The other signalmen can’t stop Captain Abbey with his own desires. Except for one person, you who maintain this system.”

“… I didn’t mean to kill you instead. The opposite.”

“How you take it is up to you.”

Captain Abbey is human. not the enemy of mankind. But it was because of the declaration of his will, and indeed the ability to do so, that he qualified.

So with Captain Ab, the military is not my enemy. It’s an ambiguous ending for me.

I cannot stop anyone who wants to be king in my place. At best, it’s all about testing.

Yuel’s eyes trembled when she realized something.

“Have you seized the king? In this military… ?”

Captain Ab came over to UL. Kneeling down on one knee and making eye contact with UL, Captain Ab said with a straight gaze.

“Uel. Please cooperate with the main building.”

Obviously, UL would have stronger power, but UL was the one who avoided his gaze.

“not… okay I can’t.”

“Think rationally. In any case, better than revealing the secrets of the signalmen. Aren’t your evaluation results the same?”

“different! A signalman must not have desire. In that case, the signalman, no, you will move this country according to your desires. to be king His dream… Because the desire to create a country without a king is polluted.”

Captain Abbey glanced at the corpse and said:

“He is the dead.”

“Even if you die, your dreams will never go away!”

As if trying to deny it, Yuel hugged the body again. Covering the cold corpse with his whole body, Yuel sobbed.

“Military is a masterpiece of his ideals. This is the child he and I made together! But, by the way. to give up like this? no! I’d rather die here! Buried with all the secrets! then… !”

“Then everything he created is gone. Perhaps the military will disappear. Are you okay though?”

Julie took a breath.

UL keeps asking, the reason why he couldn’t put it into practice even though he asked. Because we were given enough time. This is because there are traces of Gunung, including his body, here.

He’s a person who has no regrets to the point that he’s been hugging a man’s corpse for nearly 20 years, but he can’t be decisive. UL’s troubles deepened.
