Chapter. 23. Gedreutz’s heir, Field (7)
****
“So, it’s about when I was young…”
I couldn’t understand why they suddenly switched to a story about when I was young, but I decided to listen for now. As someone who is quite suspicious of Rabbit right now, it’s not a bad thing that she tells her story first –
“Well, I like it when the suspicious person takes the initiative to tell the story.”
“what?”
“I’m trying to decide if I just poked at him or if I’m asking with confidence, and I’m thinking about whether I’ve seen a loophole that warrants confidence, and then I’m thinking about whether to respond resolutely or turn away.”
“Are you good at reading people?”
“ah! I decided to respond resolutely. good job. “If you lied, I planned to make fun of you and call you a liar by detailing where and how much you lied.”
“That-”
“Thank you for the compliment. I am also someone who has a world clear record. “I don’t have the talent of Mr. Nunu, who ‘makes inferences close to facts from information gathered through incredible observation skills,’ but I am confident when it comes to seeing people.”
changed. The soft and bright atmosphere dissipated like a lie along with her expression, and a rabbit with a doll-like face appeared in the silence of the concrete building.
“Is that what you really look like?”
“It’s not like I saw it… It’s just that I relaxed my shoulders a little. How dare you point out a woman’s bare face like that? “You have no manners?”
Discomfort. The reason I couldn’t let go of my suspicions about her until now was because of a vague sense of discomfort. It’s not an ordinary feeling of discomfort, but at least a secret feeling of discomfort that you wouldn’t have noticed if you hadn’t been living in GG’s world full of schemes and tricks for decades.
‘The problem is when I asked Rabbit last time why he chose Vex. ‘Her answer was sincere.’
[I thought Vex had a tight hold on me, but it was the opposite]
No matter how much I thought about Rabbit saying that, it seemed like he was being sincere.
That’s why it was even more suspicious. How could a woman who wears a ‘mask’ loved by everyone fall in love with Bex? The reason he even said was, ‘I fell in love with it at some point without even realizing it!’ This is a story that only a teenage girl would tell!
For me, who can dare to say that I am in the final stage of the disease of suspicion, it was too harsh to tell me not to suspect such a very suspicious person.
Judging by this, Rabbit is sincere towards Vex. That’s quite a bit.
In my judgment, Rabbit is a woman who lives wearing an incredibly elaborate mask, and I think that the pretty, hard, doll-like face that appears before my eyes is her true self.
In my opinion, it is difficult to understand with common sense that such a woman would suddenly say, ‘I’m in love with you!’ and ask someone to marry her.
It’s even more difficult to understand that you’re revealing everything to me, who can guess that fact.
“I’m curious as to why this is happening all of a sudden.”
“just. I treat him with all my sincerity by revealing my painful past, but he pretends not to do so and opens his eyes and looks at me. So… I approached you first with the intention of being a little more honest. You like being honest, right? Professor Park.”
“You sound like you know me well.”
“Some extent? Professor Park. Like a wasteland person, he is moderately rotten and moderately cheerful. “He is a person who has a very wide range of opinions on such topics.”
“What are you doing?”
“At first glance, it appears to be altruistic, but the concept of ‘good behavior’ that is unique to people who are altruistic without measures is not visible. It appears to be a kind of obsession with responsibility, and this is a self-destructive tendency commonly seen in people who survived through the sacrifice of their relatives. “Based on the small stone tomb at the back of the shelter, based on professional military knowledge and the soldier’s unique movements shown in actual combat, it is possible that she survived thanks to the sacrifices of her comrades during her mother’s time as a soldier.”
“….hey.”
“Symptoms of dissociative personality disorder caused by lack of affection… um, shall I do more? “I could do more, but I think it’s right to do this in order to maintain a social relationship with Professor Park.”
“You’ve already crossed a line.”
“I thought that if I didn’t do this, I wouldn’t be able to accept it properly. Oh, is it a secret from Dana? “Dana might get jealous if it becomes known that she knows the man who is outside her family.”
The way he put his finger to his lips and said, ‘I want to be friends with Dana~’ was definitely the usual Rabbit.
“Do you treat everyone you meet on a daily basis ‘that way’?”
“Um, right? Like you habitually check information around yourself?”
“Vex too?”
“oh! “Please excuse me.”
“….but. At least it seemed sincere to him-”
“You couldn’t have just observed him at the level of observing an ordinary person. I talked to him, observed him, and looked into him in such detail that I couldn’t even compare him to someone like you, to the point where I could count every story engraved in each and every scar on his body from his fingertips to his toes. “I plan to learn more in the future.”
“…Oh my god.”
What on earth should I say about this? Should I feel sorry for Vex or should I say he is blessed?
“This was a completely broken woman, right?”
“then. I did not know? “Are you a little disappointed?”
Rabbit Princess. She, who had always been loved by the wasteland survivors for her bright and happy appearance… was a very broken person in some way.
Sadly, it was the kind of ‘brokenness’ that I could only understand.
“….Andrei Gedroits. “You were also the one who cleared two human worlds.”
“The fact that I was able to clear the world of that eccentric old man means that I am the type of person that matches that person’s ideology.”
Snap –
Rabbit dipped his fingertip into the teacup, stirred it, and looked at the swirl as if fascinated.
“Andrey Gedroits said that his game is a device for ‘discovering’ or ‘educating’ the completer, and here he chose endless conflict and endless trials that are almost impossible to solve as the method of ‘education’. Just as a lump of carbon is transformed into a diamond under pressure that reaches its limit, I thought that the person who overcame all those trials would be born into the ‘perfect leader’ he wanted.”
“The result was a lot of broken personalities here and there. “The hurdles for the most genius human being in human history were too high for the average person?”
“Because GG, who was created as a [Complete Manufacturer], contrary to his expectations, gained notoriety as a [Psychopath Manufacturer].”
“That’s right. According to his theory, Sam Lee created a lot of ‘broken trash that couldn’t withstand the pressure.’ And the crystallized personalities that overcame that terrible pressure are you.”
Swish.
“me.”
Swish.
“And that guy was already beaten up before he even entered the game in the first place.”
Swish.
“There are only three of us like this. Those who gave up midway started out as hopeless ordinary people, and those who had even a little bit of potential were crushed by Gedreutz’s education program and were all broken – joining the ranks of [GG-created psychopaths]. In the first place, you had to be a ‘semi-psychopath’ who had already been beaten a lot from the outside and hardened into his own form of being angular, sharp and hard to survive in order to survive the harsh pressure that Gedreutz had prepared – my observation on the only three finalist candidates. “It’s the result.”
Rabbit pointed to me, himself, and the direction from where the hammer sound was coming from, then shrugged his shoulders and said.
“At the point when you clear one world, you should have already expected that your opponent is someone who is completely broken in some way. Professor Park’s ‘obsessive sense of responsibility’, Cheon Ryu-je’s ‘will to reach the unreachable inner superhuman’, or my um… tendency to observe people in one way or another. “It is ‘candidates for completion’ like us who are bent and hardened in that direction.”
“Hmm…”
To be honest, I was a little creeped out. A human being who only sees ‘people’ when looking around. I thought Rabbit was a somewhat sane guy, but isn’t this like someone crazier than Cheonryuje, imitating himself as a perfectly sane person and living among people?
“Oh, don’t stare at me with that scared face. “It hurts.”
“sorry.”
“There is nothing to be too sorry about. You just don’t know, because you’re just as weird a person as me and Cheonryuje. A person who has nothing left but altruism, a person who does not leave a single piece of himself inside and only has other people left! That’s something that an ordinary person would feel instinctively disgusted with. You are treated as a hero because these are difficult times. If it had been a peaceful time like before the war, you would have been labeled with [severe self-destructive tendencies] and put in a mental hospital, right? “You have about 50 convictions for self-inflicted blackmail?”
“Damn bitch.”
In the end, when I said something harsh, Rabbit burst out laughing as if he was satisfied.
‘Shit. I’m really bad at dealing with people.’
The ‘damn bitch’ just now… was like a kind of disarming declaration that he would be more comfortable with the girl he had been treating so stiffly from before.
Whatever it is, I like honest people and even more like honest and sincere conversations, and when the other person reveals their innermost self and induces empathy… I can’t help but get caught up in that.
In the end, Rabbit was able to attack Professor Park in the most perfect way.
“Aha, indeed. “You also have a cute side.”
“Get out of here Rabbit. “I don’t like cruel women like you.”
“No way? The Dana I know is just as fierce and unique as me-”
“Woooooo! ” I can not hear you! “I’m not listening!”
Rabbit covered his ears before he could say anything more. I don’t want to know Dana’s confidential information analyzed by such a personality-busting, turn-of-the-century human expert! It’s poisonous if you listen to it! clearly!
“So why on earth did you bring up such a hurtful story? “The three finalist candidates are all half-mad people who are confirmed to be maladjusted to general society, so let’s get along well?”
“No, I said it from the beginning. “My story is about the Vex.”
“So where does this story go?”
“About the broken parts of me. Don’t interfere now. “I’ll tell you everything I want to say and then answer your questions.”
Rabbit puffed out his cheeks cutely and sighed.
For me, who was facing her true face, that sudden change in expression was scary.
****
Buzz buzz buzz-
“Rabbit. “We didn’t have the apple tea you requested, so we replaced it with dried potato leaf tea available on site.”
“Oh my god, thank you! Are you a kind kid? “The name was… Ticat, right?”
“Tactical personal support/auxiliary turret TCAT-3000.”
“Okay. nice to meet you.”
Rabbit quenched his tired throat from speaking and lowered his head as if speaking only to me.
“Actually, it was a lie that I wanted to bring that drone into the house. “I don’t have any machines in my house.”
“Is it because, unlike people, you can’t read their inner thoughts?”
“answer! It’s easy to talk to a quick-witted guy~”
Rabbit sipped the suspicious tea as if he was having fun (in disbelief) and continued talking without even frowning.
“My Name. Do you know what it is?”
“At least it’s not the Rabbit Princess.”
How can a person’s name be Rabbit Princess? Unless the parents go crazy.
“that’s right. My real name. Her name is Rabbit and her last name is Princess. “It’s a pretty name, right?”
“sorry. If you look at my intentions, you will know, but I can assure you with my name that I didn’t mean it that way-” “
No, if you felt that my parents were crazy people, that’s right.”
That’s right. Suddenly, I became a bad guy who took advantage of my real name and my parents and treated them like assholes.
“Around eight years old, to be exact. “My parents changed their name around the time when the photo everyone knows [of a young, pretty girl smiling brightly and holding a rabbit she dismembered] became famous.”
Rabbit was a precious child, just like her precious face.
Parents who are full of vanity as upper class people and have enough wealth to satisfy their vanity. So, they were the kind of family that could afford to buy that expensive GG connector for their whining little daughter.
Of course, the delivered connector was accompanied by a small book about ‘Precautions for use’, but it is said that Rabbit’s parents were not the type to pay much attention to such trivial things.
Her daughter was still young, and right now she was just a piece of luggage that had no real use except for taking pictures of a harmonious family.
“Ah, that kind of person. Yes. “I’m sure it’s all over the place-”
“What if you saw it yourself instead of just hearing it?”
“….Nothing.”
“yes? So, you could say that I am also a person with a fairly rare background.”
Anyway, the girl who was left in such indifference was Rabbit. Rabbit, like a girl of her age, longed for her parents’ love, but her parents, who were very busy gossiping, partying, receiving professional training to look younger than their age, and buying new jewelry from French stores faster than anyone else, bought ‘family photo accessories’. There was no way I could listen to my daughter’s whining.
The only gift Rabbit received from his parents, who grew up under the care of an emotionless housekeeper drone, was an early version of the GG connector, which boasted a price of hundreds of millions of dollars.
Of course, her parents gave it to Rabbit as a gift because it was a ‘virtual reality game device that left anyone who entered it lying dead for hours and days’, but for Rabbit, who had no way of knowing, it was the first time she had received parental attention and proof of that. .
“I was really happy. I was especially happy when I found out that it was expensive. Even though I was young, I knew that my parents loved expensive things. Because the connector is an expensive item, my parents handed over their precious item to me! “I thought so.”
“…write.”
“This back story is well known. The girl fell in love with her parents’ gift and learned ‘a lot’ from it. The girl, who had become accustomed to the game’s method of buying and selling game, wanted to show her parents, who had given her such a wonderful gift, what she had learned through the gift. ”
“Oh my…”
“Yes, that’s right. “There was chaos.”
The girl set a clumsy trap in the lush forest near her house, and the trap, which was not as clumsy as expected, caught a plump brown autumn rabbit.
The girl roughly dismantled it with a kitchen knife she brought from the kitchen.
The famous photo, which soon took over the front pages of morning daily newspapers and internet news around the world, was recorded in history by the paparazzi who were looking into the shadow of an obscure celebrity, showing her proud smile covered in blood stains.
The girl covered in blood and smiling brightly, holding a kitchen knife in one hand and a by-product that still had traces of being a rabbit in the other, became a celebrity known to everyone around the world.
Reporters from all over the world asked for countless interviews with her parents who were obsessed with the value of being a ‘celebrity’, and it was announced that her abnormal development was all caused by ‘a scary connector and that game’, and a simple issue was ‘the terrible side effects of virtual reality’. It became a huge issue and took the world by storm.
The girl was frightened by the outpouring of attention. The messaging function of the early access device was open to anyone, and there was no profanity/sexual harassment blocking feature.
Her parents held a press conference in extravagant attire and announced that they would sue the Gedreuts Company for the highest amount ever.
The girl became even more frightened. The crude insults now treated her like a monster asking for money, and she couldn’t think of anything to say back.
As the lawsuit progressed and the names of those who control the world came and went in court, the world’s interest in the girl who started it gradually waned.
Around that time, the girl’s parents changed her name to ‘Rabbit Princess’. So that we can attract a little more attention. So that people around the world can think of the photo that started it all and her parents every time her name as a plaintiff comes up in court.
So while the world is all noisy and busy. The girl Rabbit Princess had to endure all the poisonous words pouring in from around the world towards the account of the same name alone.
“Um, this far? “I guess you can understand roughly how it goes, right?”
“….no. at all.”
I know what happened and how it played out.
But for me, who inherited life from both my father and my mother, that kind of story was something my brain couldn’t accept.
A parent would treat his child like an object like that? Of course, I heard that such a thing is not uncommon, but is it really possible? Rather than the fictional complaints of adolescent boys and girls, such ‘parents’ actually exist?
“For me, I just don’t understand what the hell is going on.”
“Even if you don’t understand, there’s nothing you can do. “Is it true?”
The story after that was ordinary compared to the previous one.
“The girl who was twisted in one way or another grew up to be the ‘perfect face, body, voice and even beautiful accessories’ that her parents wanted, and then – boom! “War broke out.”
“How did you survive?”
“Thanks to my rich, fashion-conscious parents. Personal shelters were popular for a long time before the war. “There is no way parents who volunteered to become ‘celebrities’ would miss out on such a trend because their faces were uneven due to side effects of plastic surgery.”
Rabbit said. She was clearly broken by her childhood experiences. Her parents’ repeated discipline was extremely successful for the girl, who had lost her brain, and she said she was still pathologically obsessed with being perfect, being noticed by others, and being loved.
And at the cost of years of being bombarded with terrible messages. She said that she also feels reflexive pleasure when someone laughs and chats and enjoys seeing her ‘in some way.’
A twist created by the survival instinct of a crumbling young mind. That was the ugly root of Rabbit, who had a beautiful ambition: ‘Humans can live as long as they have fun in any situation.’
“…Rabbit.”
“I’m not finished talking yet! ruler! So here’s the problem. “Where is the Vex story in all these disgusting stories?”
Rabbit’s eyes were no longer as empty as the doll’s glass eyes. It was seething like the sticky malice that had broken her as a child.
“…Is this the ‘purity’ you mentioned last time?”
“That’s right! Bex This person is so, so pure. “I can’t believe I survived in this rotten world!”
Shake!
Cheer up!
The teacup fell from the table and broke. Rabbit, out of breath, grabbed my shoulder and screamed!
“Professor Park! lets think! He is very rare! It’s so rare that it’s hard to believe that only one exists in the world! “Is there another man as good and pure as me in this burned, rusted, withered world?”
“No… I guess.”
“doesn’t exist! I assure you, there is not even one! Even if there were, they would all have been corrupted by now! Because all wasteland survivors rely on ‘connectors’ to live! I was introduced to the ‘online’ world full of fucking filth! Unlike the Vex! Unlike people like me who have had their brains filled since childhood with all kinds of online malice!”
Now that I think about it, it was like that. Bex, a war orphan, did not have an electronic resident registration number, so he did not even have a connector ID in his name.
“Look at me! Eyes like these dead fish! Every time he smiles shyly at the fake smile I make, I feel like my whole body is burning with shame! Because I, like a lump of filth, am polluting the purity that may be the only one in this world! “But still, I can’t give up!”
Rabbit was squeezing my arm so hard that it bled. Her broken fingernails bleeding as she hung there instead of on my strong arms.
“Because… he loves children. Vex is a broken person in that way…”
Ah. Unbelievable.
“A person who can love children no matter what the situation…. Unlike me, who cannot imagine a ‘child loved by parents’ no matter how many texts and videos I learn, this is a person who can give all the love he has to his child.. ..”
Grumble.
“If I have him, I can become perfect… I mean… I can care for my child enough that even if I can’t love him, he won’t be enough…” A
perfect pair, as if they had been put together. is not it.
Scavenger Vex, whose childhood experiences led him to prioritize children above all else.
Rabbit is a woman who is perfect in everything, but due to her childhood experiences, she cannot understand the concept of a ‘loved child’.
It wasn’t like it was love at first sight or anything.
After researching so persistently that it was almost pathological, I came to the conclusion that it had to be that person.
Rabbit, who was forcibly muttering words, eventually broke down and collapsed on the floor.
….Whoa.
“….okay. “There is absolutely no doubt about this.”
“Ugh uhuh-”
“But is that why you revealed all this to me? “Don’t doubt why I’m next to Vex?”
“We are… looking for a house. Prepare to live together…”
“I heard that too.”
“You have to become that person’s family…. Ian Desmont and Professor Park are people who Bex himself said were like family…”
“Are you saying they wanted recognition…?”
Dori Dori –
“Because you both have a keen eye for attention… I thought that if it was revealed that you were such a flawed woman later, you, Professor Park, who is especially sneaky and manipulative, might separate us… Ugh! Black!”
No, what does this person think of people?
“It’s an honor for you to rate it so highly, lady.”
Anyway, at this rate, I feel like I’ve heard Rabbit’s sincerity, and Vex, who ran away from the surprise marriage proposal, will soon come back. If Rabbit is sitting down and crying with his hands bleeding like this, I think Vex will cut out one of my eyes. So, I open my mouth with the intention of sorting things out slowly –
“So, I am planning a war right now!” “I think we need to wake up.”
“….What?”
Suddenly, the story circled around the world and returned to the main topic.
“Raptor has always been a confirmed enemy in conflict (black!). Of course, if a war is started right now, the development of the dome, which has been on the rise for a while, will stop and it may take how long it will take for it to return to its current growth rate (sigh!), but just as survival is always the priority in the wasteland, the survival of the group is also the top priority for the operation of the dome. “That doesn’t change (black!).”
“Uh, um… okay…”
“If an enemy approaches with a sword behind his back, he turns around and fights (sniff!), but he doesn’t put on any more armor. “If the enemy is preparing for war and our army is focusing on the growth of all kinds of miscellaneous things such as economy, culture, and science, it is clear (sigh!) which side is most likely to be defeated and disappear when we take the time to face them.”
“Oh, okay. Okay, shall we sit up first and talk? Wipe away some tears, wipe your nose, and fingernails…”
“More than anything, my future child should not have to experience war. He will definitely be raised in peace as a loved child…! “With the authority of the bulletin board, I will find all the people who say bad things about my family and kill them all before anyone sees them!”
“Yes, yes! Okay, so whether you drink kimchi soup, create a soccer team, or create a totem with the head of a hater, it’s all good! First, let’s get things sorted out-”
Jump up!
“Rabbit! What a new idea! that that….! “I’ve been seriously thinking about something new…!?”
“Oh my god.”
This sound is the sound of Bex, who lost her spirit due to the sudden marriage proposal, coming back.
It was a heart-pounding return for a short man who had been thinking about the answer to his lover’s sudden marriage proposal, and
when he came across him on his way back through the crowd, his big, pathetic wife, who was greatly surprised by the explosives fanatic’s long speech about ‘love and family’, took care of this mess. It was a moment that caught my eye.
“Huh huh!”
“Raaaaaaaaa Rabbit?”
The person who was supposed to hear his answer was greeting him with wet eyes.
She, who always listened to whatever he said as if it was the most important thing in the world, but who showed such a bright and bright appearance that made you wonder if there was anyone in the world who didn’t have a single wrinkle, was sitting on the ground and crying loudly.
With puffy eyes and loose clothes.
The fine fingernails were all broken and covered in blood, leaving a clear mark of resistance… Left clearly on his best friend’s forearm!
“Do it… Hepburn.”
“Oh, it’s a misunderstanding. Rabbit, tell me something-”
“Aaaaaaa!!”
“oh my! miss! If you do this here-”
.
.
.
.
.
Pead deud deuk!
“….Gourd. school. number!”
He’s short. Although Bex (24 years old) was immature, stuttered, and extremely naive who loved children.
At this moment, I was a macho blinded by love and could not see anything.
Kwajangchang!
“hey! no! No! “It’s not like that!”
“I trusted you! I trusted you! “I trusted you more than anyone else!!!”
“Ahh! “This bastard really stabs me!”
“Kaaaa!!”
As the best BDSM close-up attack master, Bex’s hands were filled with his terrifying affection as he targeted the soft parts between the Harp variant’s hard bodies.
….Beshish-!
“That bitch!”
“Inooooooom!!!”
“Ugh! Sorry! Sorry!!”
Professor Park lost his sight in the relentless storm of single-molecule cutters.
The sight of Rabbit, who had been sitting down and crying, looking at Bex with an ecstatic expression and smiling as he rushed towards his precious friend who was like family because of her!
‘Joe is screwed. This… is ruined no matter how you look at it!’
I already sympathized with Rabbit’s situation. His damaged thinking circuit now says, no matter how hard he tries, ‘Not that bitch! I couldn’t say, ‘Let’s break up right now!’
But that side… That side that thoroughly analyzes people, hides itself, and is sinister yet horribly obsessed…
‘She’s a complete system!’
It was very similar to ‘World’, the 4 World system personality that he was also very familiar with!
If you think about it, it was reasonable. Rabbit was the most likely completer candidate before my 3rd world, and of course, as she is the first completer to be created over a long period of time, her data is very precious and must have been analyzed thoroughly and diversely by the system.
When that damn system says ‘according to the learned emotional data’, it is very likely that the ‘learning’ was learning the personality of Rabbit, who is the closest to perfection among female players!
But… but!
“Why! Why him! “That bitch!”
“Professor Park! Don’t curse at Rabbit!!!”
Squeeze!
“Kwaaaaaak!”
The professor’s terrified voice, as if he had encountered an enemy who had crawled up from hell, was eventually replaced by a scream of pain due to the electric shock of the arc knife digging into his back.
The professor explained, but Vex had no intention of listening, and Rabbit had no intention of stopping your ecstatic anger.
In the end, the passionate fight at the BDSM headquarters had to continue until Cheonryuje, who couldn’t stand the commotion and ran over, personally separated the two.
