Chapter Index

    Tree trunk house.

    Bedroom and living room.

    “Oh? Are you completely over it now?”

    Shaella looked next to me curiously.

    Miya, a high-rise scrapper who had just been brought out of prison, stood in blurry focus.

    This guy endured torture for 3 days.

    That guy has become docile now.

    “It’s just a state of hypnosis.”

    Tuk.

    I answered that and sat down at the living room table.

    Shaella sat across from him and asked while looking at Miya who was standing next to her.

    “What should I do now?”

    Even “ needs to be brainwashed. Before that, I’d like to ask for information from the upper floors. Will you join us too?”

    “Of course!”

    “If anything comes to mind about how you want to brainwash me, tell me. I will apply it as is.”

    Okay.

    I turned my gaze to the side.

    The corners of his eyes turned red towards Miya, who was standing quietly next to the table.

    Susss-

    Hypnosis penetrated even deeper.

    Now, not only can you control your body, but you can also brainwash it.

    I started asking questions right away.

    “Miya is your real name, right?”

    “Yes.”

    “Did you come down from a high rise?”

    “Yes.”

    “How did you get down?”

    “Participated in trials and left the area.”

    “What were you going to do when you went to the city?”

    “I tried to live a new life by becoming a ruler.”

    There was no one who cursed and lost his temper.

    Miya, who was under hypnosis, answered one by one while making an uncomfortable expression.

    But was that also annoying?

    “I don’t like this guy’s expression. Can you possibly brainwash us into feeling like loyal masters? Erasing this personality itself.”

    Shaella expressed her dissatisfaction.

    I brainwashed him without hesitation.

    “I’ll try.”

    Sssss!!-

    Along with the red energy rising from her eyes, an intangible force took control of Miya’s entire body without resistance.

    I feel it.

    His unconsciousness.

    It is an intense hostility that seems to be contemptuous.

    Sreuk.

    I caught it.

    It feels a bit like modifying your body.

    I leaned on the sensory ability that seemed to be linked to the pupils and grabbed hold of the thread of the guy’s unconsciousness.

    The ability is too vague.

    The deeper I dug, the more I was affected.

    I feel his emotions and I sympathize with his unpleasant feelings. If I hadn’t taken control of my mind through hypnosis, I might have been in danger again.

    It feels like my mind is connected.

    Fortunately, it wasn’t too difficult because it felt similar to fiddling with fruit that had been modified with plants.

    I continued to brainwash.

    The target of his contempt and hostility has changed to the city. At this time, blindly planting the unconscious mind that I am your lord is not effective. If possible, brainwashing should be done in a subtle, indirect way.

    For example.

    You are an enemy to the city.

    The reason I came down here is to punish the ugliness of the city.

    Your nature is good.

    Do not harm anyone carelessly.

    Until now, it had only been a defensive instinct.

    From now on, let go of that defensive instinct and be reborn here. We are your only saviors, and we sacrifice our lives to be loyal to me and Shaella without any questions.

    etc.

    Such unconsciousness was planted at the same time as hypnosis.

    It’s cheap-

    Fortunately, the guy’s momentum changed.

    The atmosphere became more subdued.

    “Miya.”

    “… Yes.”

    The guy looked at me and answered.

    The face that used to be unpleasant is now normal.

    “Oh. I became gentle. Did you just use your powers?”

    “Uh. I can feel it a little bit.”

    “So are you following what we say now?”

    “Well… It remains to be seen whether the trance state is maintained even after it is released.”

    Unfortunately, I am not completely brainwashed.

    I am not capable of influencing the target at once like Swalios. If you really want to transform him into a new person, you will have to spend time and repeat the brainwashing several times.

    Then one day, it will become Shaella and I’s faithful dog that protects the village.

    First of all, for now… .

    “Miya. I want to know about high rises.”

    Miya is a high-rise scrapper.

    At this point, I asked what kind of force was in the upper floors and what they were doing.

    “The top 10 forces are Estella, Linox, and Etherion-”

    As a high-rise being, I knew quite a lot.

    I listened intently.

    Characteristics of forces.

    hierarchy of powers.

    between forces.

    Although I didn’t know the details, I was able to obtain rough information that a high-rise being would know.

    Of these, the most powerful force is Estella.

    In fact, it is a force that no one who manages the tower can overcome, and it has the largest number of gods, and it often invades other worlds.

    “Shaella. What do you think?”

    “I think they are right… .”

    It’s getting closer and closer.

    There is a high probability that the force that invaded Shaella’s world was Estella. Also, since the owner of the tower is Estelle, in a broader sense, the tower itself becomes Shaella’s enemy.

    “Ha… It’s not easy.”

    “Well, it’s okay. No need to rush. Let’s grow from here step by step and go seek revenge.”

    Fortunately, Shaella was not impatient.

    Even if he knew the clear target of revenge, he didn’t seem to have any intention of rushing in blindly.

    Because the enemy is much stronger than this one.

    “Miya. Do you know what faction Seorn is?”

    “… I don’t know.”

    “Then that’s enough.”

    I got all the information I needed.

    The reasons for high-rise climbing have become clearer.

    It is necessary to dig up information directly from the upper floors to find out whether Estelle is the main culprit and exactly how much power she has.

    If possible, it would be better to understand the power structure so that we can divide them or exploit them.

    Now, it’s time to see the results of brainwashing.

    “Shaela. Now, I’m going to take Miya out of the hypnosis state, so if she goes on a rampage, subdue her.”

    “Can’t I just keep putting it on?”

    “To do that, you have to keep concentrating. It’s better to brainwash them to blend in.”

    “What kills?”

    “It’s a waste. Even if you kill it and make a clone, it is weaker than the real thing. At this point, as a test to see if he can brainwash the ruler, I’m going to make him the village watchman. He’s a strong guy so he’ll be helpful.”

    “Okay~ Give this guy to me instead.”

    “Huh?”

    “Because you never know. I will take care of you.”

    “Do whatever you want. It would be safer to leave it next to you rather than me. If anything is strange or needs to be fixed, please tell me.”

    “At that time, I killed him… No, I’ll knock you out and take you away.”

    “Well, yeah… .”

    Miya’s treatment was decided.

    The hypnosis state was immediately lifted.

    Susss-

    “… … uh… .”

    The guy’s focus returns.

    He remained blank for a few seconds, then raised his hand and looked at me again.

    “Not… Hello?”

    I tilted my head and spoke respectfully.

    The tone is confused, but there is no sign of displeasure.

    Although he still looks uneasy, he has been successfully brainwashed.

    We need to eliminate the cognitive dissonance little by little.

    “I’m Muchan. I am the owner of this village, and everyone in the house, except for Shaella, belongs to me. You know that too, right?”

    “Uh… … yes… .”

    While puzzled, I agreed again.

    Even if it is dangerous right now, as time goes by and you get used to it, you may come to take this place for granted.

    “From now on, you will follow Shaella here. Since she is the goddess of the village, treat her with respect.”

    “Okay.”

    Nod.

    The guy bowed his head to Shaella.

    Shaella nodded as if satisfied.

    “Okay. You will serve me well from now on.”

    “Uh… But I have a question. Why do I have to serve a goddess-”

    Susss-

    I gained my powers again.

    As if there was no resistance to my hypnosis, he returned to his dazed state again.

    “It looks like you have a feeling of rejection towards God. I’ll fix it again.”

    Brainwash again.

    The hostility towards the goddess was twisted.

    He was brainwashed to follow Shaella faithfully.

    And then turn it off again.

    “… I will follow the great goddess. iced coffee! For the goddess. Hehehe… Long live the goddess.”

    “Oh? It’s amazing every time I see it.”

    This time I answered without question.

    Although there were glimpses of insanity, I was hopeful that even that could be cured with a few more brainwashing sessions.

    Hypnosis brainwashing… .

    It’s definitely a great ability.

    This is how you can change people.

    Moreover, if you apply the ability multiple times, it becomes more difficult to escape as time passes. You will find yourself confused and confused.

    The key is how long he will resist… .

    Please don’t wake up from your brainwashing.

    Even for yourself.

    *

    Day 159 of the Fog Forest.

    ‘now… ‘What were you doing?’

    An unknown question.

    Foggy memories.

    Ssuk suk.

    “Hehe~ It’s worth watching now.”

    Miya looked ahead.

    The goddess who was supposed to be worshiped with all her might scribbled on her face with a tool called a pen.

    Then, he calmly showed me a hand mirror that had been polished by the hands of a dwarf.

    ‘My beautiful face… .’

    It is very grotesquely damaged.

    “If you do this, you won’t even be able to taunt Muchan, right?”

    “… … … .”

    “Why, what. Are you dissatisfied? What are you talking about?”

    Miya thought.

    Goddess Shaella treats me harshly.

    It’s less so when Muchan is around, but when the two of them are alone, this kind of bullying continues.

    What on earth did I do wrong?

    Called.

    In that way, I inadvertently traced my foggy memories and miraculously revived memories that had otherwise been discarded.

    ‘uh… Looks like I forgot something… … .’

    I concentrated again and thought.

    The more I tried to remember, the clearer it became little by little.

    And at some point, the memory of being imprisoned passed through my head.

    Flash!

    ‘Huh… What am I doing now? Why did I fight with Goddess and Muchan… No, fuck. Something is strange. Why am I one of these bastards… … .’

    So I finally woke up.

    I got rid of the brainwashing on my own.

    “Huh? What’s wrong?”

    “… … Oh, no.”

    However, when asked by Shaella, he immediately pretended not to know.

    I’m realizing it.

    How strong is the person in front of you?

    I pretended to be brainwashed and quickly made up my mind to avoid arousing suspicion.

    ‘okay… It started to dawn on me. Where was I originally going to go? To kill those ugly city bastards… No, is that correct? That can’t be possible. I came to find my new life!! Hahaha!! As expected, this meant nothing to me!!’

    The fog is gradually clearing.

    The original purpose began to emerge.

    ‘Woo!… … .’

    At the same time, I remembered the torture that Muchan had done.

    A terrible memory of being swallowed up in pitch darkness and becoming nothing.

    Nevertheless, I laughed out loud on the inside.

    Resisted brainwashing.

    I can see a way out.

    Pretending to be brainwashed like this, looking for an opportunity… .

    “Ho… Did you notice?”

    What?

    Shaella made a face.

    As if he sensed his condition.

    even.

    “Huhuhu… So even if I kill you, it’s still self-defense, right? Now I will completely erase you from Muchan’s side.”

    He even openly declared that he would kill me.

    My body suddenly stiffened.

    This crazy goddess is so damn strong. If she attacks here, she won’t be able to break even a bone.

    So what should we do?

    Okay.

    Before I knew it, Shaella raised her fist.

    The feeling of a shadow falling and Shaella’s now gigantic eyes shining down.

    An ominous feeling, as if golden light is taking hold of the space, spreads throughout my body.

    Threat to life.

    If this continues, you will die.

    She had to act like something wasn’t happening, but unfortunately, Miya wasn’t confident in her acting skills.

    so that.

    “Woah, long live the goddess!! I will be a faithful servant of the Goddess!!!”

    “Huh?… .”

    Miya lay face down.

    It is never too late to take revenge later.

    I thought that if I prayed, my life would be saved.

    “Please order anything!! I will sacrifice my life for the Goddess!!!”

    “Really?”

    “Ahh!- Please believe me!! Because of this, I am born again!!”

    “Hmm… .“

    There is no need for pride or anything.

    I vowed that I would somehow survive and take revenge.

    Fortunately, these efforts seemed to have worked, and Shaella withdrew her fist as if she was disappointed.

    The key is now.

    I have to find a gap and escape… .

    “Huh? Looks like the brainwashing has been lifted?”

    Suddenly, Mu-chan’s voice was heard from behind.

    It was at this moment that the culprit who made him like this appeared.

    The target was immediately changed.

    “Kihahaha!!! look!! I realized a new mission. Muchan and Goddess! Treat me like a dog. I will do anything!!!”

    “Miss! I’m surprised. Why is your face like this? What kind of graffiti have you done like this? This is how the brainwashing goes away.”

    Muchan took a step back.

    This is because there were a lot of beard-like graffiti on Miya’s face as she was cheering for national independence.

    Sigh… .

    Miya was angry, but the corners of her distorted mouth barely drifted into a smile.

    I can’t come here and throw away my life.

    If it’s already crazy, it can get even crazier.

    “Kuhhh… Are you surprised? You can doodle as much as you want. Please, if you take me away!!”

    “Huh… What is this guy saying?”

    “Kuhhahaha!! Is there any other plaything as great as mine!!! Hurry and make your choice!!”

    chuck!

    Miya boldly placed her hand on her waist.

    It seemed like he really thought what he was saying would work.

    “Have you given up your pride? .”

    “What do you feed your pride? I am born again!! No, I was born!!”

    But Miya’s efforts were betrayed.

    “Hmm… I don’t believe it. Should I just kill him?”

    Kuuk.

    A feeling of life from behind.

    Shaella is clenching her fist.

    “Stop it. It’s already too early to judge. It would be a waste to make a duplicate now. If you torture me more, it will get better.”

    In front, Mu-chan approaches, making horrible noises that he would never want to experience again.

    ‘Even after all this, you don’t believe me at all!!?’

    A feeling of pressure squeezing back and forth.

    Shivering.

    My body is trembling.

    The two didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving their ambiguous state alone.

    The problem is that I don’t even have the strength to resist.

    This is because I was addicted to acid poison.

    ‘Fuck… Really, what should I do?’

    However, another method came to mind.

    If I die or suffer like this… .

    “All you have to do is brainwash me again!!! I won’t resist, so fuck it!!! Just brainwash me. You crazy bastards!!!!”

    I shouted in desperation.

    I couldn’t think of any other way than this.

    The two looked at themselves pitifully.

    “The graffiti makes me look a little pitiful… .”

    “Then, shall we send you off in peace?”

    “That’s it. If you brainwash it a little more, you’ll be fine.”

    “What if I’m released again?”

    “Then we have to find another way. Don’t be mean to me, but treat me well. So as not to wake up.”

    “Okay~ That’s it. Let’s tame it.”

    Susss-

    Muchan’s eyes turned red.

    ​An intangible force attacked Miya.

    “Ugh… … .”

    Miya was irritated, angry, and mortified, but she did not reject it and accepted it. At least he didn’t harm himself when he was brainwashed.

    It’s cheap~

    The unconscious mind, which has already taken root once, takes control of the mind again.

    The discomfort disappears in an instant.

    Anyway, you just have to promise a later date.

    You can escape brainwashing on your own.

    blast furnace.

    ‘Just wait and see… Because eventually I will escape. I will escape again and again, and one day, I will find you… Hehehehe… … .’

    That’s what I promised.

    Even though I will be their slave for now, I will definitely get revenge someday.

    I became brainwashed again.
