by adminEpisode 151 – Idol 2 –
Leaving behind the commander who had a brief chat with me, what I faced was a huge force.
Of course, there was no armament.
It was probably because I knew full well that it was useless anyway.
The fact that Changje’s skills are useless for protecting, but for killing.
In other words, it has a definite effect in eliminating something.
It is a resource that nuclear bombs cannot occupy, so conventional troops are needed.
If something can withstand a nuclear bomb, there is no way to defeat it.
Redprint was in exactly that situation right now.
of course… It seems like they’re trying to hide it somehow so as not to get caught.
“You broke the taboo. Do you know what that means?”
They were listening to my conversation.
The fact that he was a foreigner would also have been reasonably inferred.
In other words, what they want to know is how much I know about the seriousness of taboo.
To find out whether he is a crazy person who knows what a taboo means and ignores it, or whether he is a worthless person.
Of course, I was the former.
“Taboo. Unless you are prepared to eliminate a single company… What must you keep in mind?”
“!!”
A moment of confusion appears on their faces.
You have to be prepared to eliminate a company. Because it is true.
Unless there is a serious situation, companies do not try to save those who break taboos.
If it was done intentionally, they will try to prevent the situation by mobilizing the guilt-by-association system, which was abolished long ago.
That is, unless you are determined to eliminate a company.
Breaking taboos in this country is absolutely unacceptable.
“Are you saying you are going to be hostile to us?”
“If you want to fight more. If you just send it to me, I will just go.”
“Why did you have to do this? No matter how strong you are, you are still an individual. What we eat, what we wear, and what we sleep on this earth. Whatever it is, we can attack you.”
“Aren’t you really bad at psychological warfare? If the operation had been realistic, it would have been carried out without saying anything. If there is a really great investment opportunity, you should do it yourself first without recommending it to others, right?”
Was there no need to engage in psychological warfare?
Or maybe he was embarrassed and tried to do whatever he could.
I said something too obvious.
Of course, their power is sufficiently threatening to me.
This is because my aura is not infinite.
But I am known to have withstood Changje’s attacks, and that is my minimum.
Because they kill people carelessly
“Of course it will be difficult for us. However, there are three more companies in this country besides us. Can companies survive even if they join forces?”
“Isn’t it the same as before? Saying something without doing it will only end up making a threat, right?”
“The possibility of that happening is low because you don’t really know the risks. But if we are destroyed by you, we will begin to unite.
In this case, it is a threat, but it is realistic. Even if you eventually fall, we won’t exist then.”
As expected, Yeonguk is also a place where people live.
Most of the leaders are somewhat smart.
“It’s definitely true, but… What can you do?”
“If you don’t want to antagonize all three companies, just surrender.”
“No no. Are these people stupid? Do I look like a Yeonguk? Ah, it may seem that way since I only dealt with Yeonguk people.
If they catch you anyway, they’re going to kill you or do something worse, right? At least they will treat me like a slave. If you are not confident in dealing with three companies.”
“Any problem?”
Do you have any problem?
Didn’t you hear the sentence, “These people only deal with Yeonguk people?”
Do I look like a Yeonguk?
Chak-
I lifted the object that was inside my chest.
The employees were just staring blankly, seemingly not knowing what it meant.
But this shows that they can’t do anything.
It’s a legal right to flee.
“You said it clearly. Can I deal with all your companies? That’s right, I’m not confident.”
“In that case, surrendering obediently is the way to feel more comfortable.”
“This is where it shows that you are stupid! Do you guys not know what this is? At least the fact that I’m a foreigner and the fact that I’m holding this up proudly doesn’t remind you of anything?”
People didn’t show much of a reaction, as if it was natural.
I’m taking back what I said earlier about being smart.
I really have no clue.
“This is a pass. Proof that I am a citizen of the empire and not a human born in this country. People from Yeonguk cannot leave the country. This is because other countries are blocking it.
I asked if I could deal with your company? I don’t have any. But empires are possible. The moment I escape to my native empire, what can you do?”
Only then did people realize the seriousness of the situation.
Foreigners rarely cause problems in the country.
People who visit Yeonguk are people who want to gain skills.
A person who wants to start a business.
We plan to have regular exchanges.
There’s no way those people would show their pass.
There is no way to break the taboo.
So people had no idea that foreigners would cause trouble and return to their home countries.
But what if you break the taboo and run away to your home country?
There is nothing the company can do.
Let’s look at how well the company is doing.
Because the moment you try to go out, the Empire will strike you with its mace.
They can never go out.
The situation was reversed.
They don’t have the power to kill me now.
They even said that the three companies would unite only if they went bankrupt, so I am even more safe.
It was like digging my own grave.
I didn’t tell you, but Kakill is also an ally with me.
‘Now is the time to change the topic? Let’s see… ‘
Aura flows throughout my body and amplifies my five senses.
A technique that uses energy and aura to strengthen the body to feel things that cannot be felt.
I look through numerous spaces to see if anyone is around.
There was no one.
There were only employees.
‘This is enough.’
There were no people.
In other words, no one except the saint can know what will happen here.
All preparations are complete.
Now it was time to get Red Print on my side.
“Then, shall we talk in earnest now?”
“What does that mean?”
“Have you ever thought it was strange? First, think about why I might have broken the taboo. To get rid of red print?
Then I would have just gotten rid of it right away. Also, weapons pilots somewhere out there.”
“There is no reason for evil deeds. There would be no reason for you to break the taboo, and there would be no reason for you to attack us.”
“What. There may be no reason for evil deeds, but not me, right? And you know where the Flames are plundering!
They say they’re plundering the Caquill side, but the empire is actually located to the west of the kingdom! Didn’t you feel anything strange here!?”
I said earlier that it was definitely an empire.
The Empire is actually my home country.
But none of them had any doubts.
Even if it’s too small to be suspicious.
It doesn’t really mean anything.
Just instilling a little doubt in them is enough.
“You have to think of it yourself here. Why did I kill someone?
Even if I had just brutally suppressed him by amputating his limbs, I could have avoided the friction without saying anything because of that force, so why did I break the taboo?”
“What does it mean?”
“That’s because I know I didn’t need them anyway!”
Set a conclusion and then talk about the process.
Of course, it is impossible for people who do not know the conclusion to understand.
If you learn the conclusion later, you can understand it by inferring it yourself.
This inspires tremendous confidence.
People with self-esteem are bound to show some level of trust if they have thought and come up with ideas for themselves.
I don’t know to what extent, but quite high-ranking employees were confused by those words.
We discuss with each other and try to understand the true meaning of what I am saying.
But this could not have been expected.
This is something that can only be inferred if you know information that not even the imperial family or the Holy Imperial Office knows.
“This land is ruled by corporations and the Red Print. The unique thing is the blueprint. A technology that spits out a blueprint to create a desired object using specific materials.”
“Why do you go to the trouble of saying something you already know?”
You also have an impatient personality.
I prepared everything.
“The taboo in that land is murder. The reason is… For those who could not create a homunculus, the only intelligence that could think was human.
The Red Print separated the human body and brain to enable thinking. How can I create a proper blueprint?”
“!!!”
Although some people were doing it.
Those who are presumed to be high-ranking people’s eyes widen at those words.
“When a person dies and the soul leaves, it is when the brain dies. The heart or anything else is just a means of keeping the brain healthy.
What is needed to maintain the Red Print’s singularity is a human brain. If there is no soul, the brain will also be damaged. You needed a living brain.”
“You… How… ”
The directors failed to ask the right questions, as if they had hit the nail on the head.
They just inhaled and exhaled excessively, like people suffering from hyperventilation.
Artificial intelligence is needed to think autonomously.
There is no way that people from the early modern times could have made it.
The Republic of Madness succeeded in creating similar technology using magic.
They don’t even know how to do magic.
So the path they chose was to use humans.
The entire body was removed and only the brain was saved and used as human intelligence.
The reason murder was taboo was also for a similar reason.
Because I didn’t know which character would be suitable, I had to save him.
All I had to do was survive.
Unless the brain is physically damaged, performance is the same.
The power to think non-stop for 24 hours.
The power of collective intelligence.
The power of thinking accelerated through drugs, etc. Etc. and a huge amount of information accumulated in advance.
In the meantime, I was able to create a sufficient blueprint.
“Director! Is it true?”
“Well, we really committed murder for that reason… !”
“You don’t have to know what the secret is! just… If not, no… !”
Among the upper echelons, employees who seemed to be at the lowest level asked the directors.
Given the circumstances, it seemed like he was just a director and a secretary assisting him.
The directors said nothing.
Because it’s true. Because there was nothing to refute.
It was a silent affirmation, but the employees kept asking if they were mistaken.
There was no sign of the questioning ending.
Then.
“It’s true.”
An older man, probably a director, said.
A word that admits everything.
After all, I know the truth.
The judgment was that struggling was meaningless.
“… ”
“… ”
Some employees showed dismay when they heard about their company’s shame.
As if I had nothing to say, I just lowered my head and got lost in thought.
In the general view, humans are effectively used as subjects of biological experiments.
It’s probably because it made me suffer over and over again.
Usually people in high positions also want to gain moral legitimacy.
If it falls apart, you will be shocked like that.
Of course, in reality it’s not that terrible.
The reason humans feel pain is because the pain-sensing nerves in the body work.
This is because the people used there are in a state similar to sleeping without any pain.
There are techniques that directly damage the soul.
Red Print’s technology is a technology that uses the brain, not the soul.
Because they didn’t know this, they thought it was dishonest.
“So… What on earth are you? The majority of humans on this earth don’t know that. This is a fact that other companies do not know, and it is a fact that our secretaries also did not know.
But you knew it so calmly. I’d like to think it was a coincidence, but… I know it all too well. Even what the principle is and why it was banned.”
The older director who admitted the truth earlier asked me.
Some people also tried to compose themselves as they calmly asked.
But I could feel it.
The director was practically resigned.
Trudging~
I walked slowly and stood in front of them.
Everyone was shorter than me.
I lightly turned my back and spun around in place.
Although everyone questioned my actions, they just stared at me without any resistance.
“I admitted everything. It would be correct to say.”
When do humans feel the greatest hope?
That is when you taste great hope after despair.
They are gone all the way.
You can’t kill it.
Can’t catch it.
You can’t threaten.
I am stronger.
I can’t chase it.
When it comes to secrets, I know better.
All methods have virtually disappeared.
And the hope experienced in such cases actually turns the human condition into a form of fanaticism.
“Now let me introduce ‘me’ properly. My name is Abraxas Mentutihotep. The second son of Marquis Mentuhihotep of the Helium Empire and a loyal subordinate of His Majesty the Emperor.”
At first, people thought about what I said, as if they didn’t understand.
But did you notice something strange? The expression becomes more and more
“What… You say?”
A person presumed to be the representative of the board of directors asked back.
I said it again.
“My name is Abraxas Mentutihotep. The second son of Marquis Mentuhihotep of the Helium Empire and a member of the imperial guard.”
Although it can be said that it was a mistake once.
Twice is not a mistake.
And soon, a different image appeared in their eyes.
A brooch hanging on my chest.
A kind of certificate received when one was qualified to become an honorary imperial guard.
Only then did their brains understand that what they had heard was not an illusion.
“I came to this land with the permission of Her Majesty the Princess.”
Everyone’s mouths drop open at those words.
In this land, the name of the imperial family cannot be spoken of carelessly.
There was no evidence.
The emperor gave an order.
But actions were the proof.
The status of the Imperial Guard is due to the ability to properly withstand the weapons of the Emperor.
The fact that he came under orders from the royal family means that he knew the cause of the taboo of red print, which would never be known.
“The reason I came to this land is… To save Yeon-guk.”
It was just one sentence made up of easy words.
It took time for it to be accurately interpreted in people’s minds.
It was a desired fact, but it could never come true.
Because it was that kind of sentence.
“500 years. A time when the country called the Kingdom of Feyre was called the Kingdom of Yeon. The Helium Empire made a choice. Change this land.”
What everyone hoped for.
Just like when someone is having a really hard time, they hope that a superhero will come and save them.
To some, this is no different from a superhero appearing and saving someone.
“Yeonguk into a kingdom.”
I lowered my index finger and raised it up.
“Like that time 500 years ago.”
He pointed the finger again and headed to a specific location.
The reason the kingdom became a nation.
A place that has made this land alive until now.
Toward the Dome of Creation.
Shake it~
All Red Print employees knelt down.
Toward none other than myself.
Even though it’s clearly just kneeling.
As several people knelt at the same time, a loud sound rang out.
I didn’t lie.
I am an honorary member of the Imperial Guard.
Alice came to this land with Tantalota’s permission.
Of course, if you know the truth, you will be completely devastated.
As I said to Lucas, a lie that will never be discovered is not a lie.
“““The Redprint Board of Directors of the Federation acknowledges the messenger of the great Empire!!!!!”””
It wasn’t long before they spoke out of their own mouths.
A taste of extreme hope after extreme despair.
To them, I was an idol.
