EP.262 Half success
is half success.
I made Sieghrund reveal his true identity and abilities. Convinced that there must be some mystery to me, he decided that there was no point in hiding his identity, and revealed himself in front of us.
The problem is that he too thought the same thing.
‘Mysteries become easy to deal with just by digging them up. Recruitment Ability Weakness Limit. Once you figure that out, you can come up with a countermeasure. Like the founder Tyrkanjaka.’
Mystery is something that comes from outside of man. Mystery has its strengths as well as its weaknesses. Even Tirkanjaka, the mighty progenitor, was momentarily tethered to the trap of the light.
Blood magic is her own ability, but the darkness she deals with is a mystery created by history and karma.
‘Since we didn’t know about the mystery hidden in the darkness of the founder, it’s only natural that the military is losing a series of battles. piper man. I will dismantle your mystery.’
Mmm. But… My mystery doesn’t come from outside humans.
I looked around. Tyr and the Regressor are not here. At the same time as rescuing the dying laborers, he must be secretly taking them out.
As far as I’m concerned, it won’t do much harm if I tell you about it.
hmm. good. It will be difficult, but this time I have to do it without the help of Regressor and Tyr.
‘Mystery? Huey?’
Although he hesitated for a moment, Historia’s agitation was short-lived. She was a skilled soldier and did not confuse her goals.
‘I’ve had a lot of magazines since before. When I asked something, there was usually an answer. It may be what he said. What does that matter though? Right now, the identity of the existence in front of me is more urgent than Huey’s identity. Perhaps the identity of that is…’
If you think about it a little, the answer comes out.
He is the face and body of Historia. I don’t know what kind of ability he has, but if he transforms, he can’t be perfect.
Compete with Historia for a while in an unsafe state? There are only six people in the military country with that ability. Among them, there is only one person whose abilities are fully revealed, unlike others who have many things covered in veils.
“Director of Public Security Sieghrund. is it you?”
Sieghurund smiled.
“It’s too late to realize, Historia. You should have noticed from the moment you and I share the sum. As expected, you are a young soldier in espionage warfare.”
“I introduced you that you are good at dukes and stealth, and that you are good at stealth and boxing. The stealth part was a lie.”
“If you want to fool your enemies, you have to fool your allies first, right? The fact that she uses shapeshifting is a top secret. Because the surveillance target shouldn’t know that. All I want is “
“Now then?”
“There is no point in hiding it.”
Sieghurund pointed at me beyond Historia.
“There is a mystery of seeing the future right in front of you. What’s the point of hiding it?”
“Are you trying to antagonize? Pointless. In the current situation, I am not so incompetent as to ruin things with unverifiable doubts.”
“You will.”
This time Sieghrund pointed over his shoulder. Historia looked in that direction and opened her eyes wide.
“But is everyone like that?”
Shiati was there.
Shiati was now more confused than anyone else. Apparently, while he was contemplating whether to destroy the smelter or not, Carafald suddenly betrayed him and activated the trap. Immediately after, the world was enveloped in light.
Looking back, I saw that Carafald had disappeared somewhere, and the military forces were approaching from the other side. While everyone else is doing something, all Shiati can do is keep the princess safe.
However, even Shiati, who was unable to grasp the situation, realized one thing when Sieghrund transformed into Carafald.
That the culprit behind all of this was Sieghurund.
“you…!”
Shiati raised a finger. Dark magic wrapped around her fingers.
There was no operation or anything. Determined to inflict the same pain on her hated foe, Shiati squeezed the index finger of her left hand.
It was then. For a short time, Sieghrund spoke with a ‘Carafald’ tone and eyes.
“Siaty. Black magic isn’t omnipotent. I hope you don’t use black magic…”
Humans are bound to be obsessed with what they see. Shiati, who knew in her head that the opponent was an enemy, but hadn’t learned enough yet, hesitated.
It was a moment, but it was long enough for Sieghrund. Historia, seeing the direction Sieghrund was running out of, exclaimed urgently.
“Siaty! Get out of the way!”
However, the moment he finished speaking, Sieghurund was already close to Shiati.
It was a strange martial art. With a very natural movement, like flowing water, as if they had reached an agreement with the other party in advance. Before Shiati could even notice, Sieghurund had flowed behind her.
Before Shiati could react, Sieghurund snapped her arm in an instant to subdue her. A prosthetic sword made of steel is no different from a straw in front of the qi-gong of Yukjangseong. Bone and steel were held in one hand and creaked together.
“Turn it off…!”
Sieghurund whispered to Shiati who was struggling.
“Calm down, Siati.”
“Let go! With that face…don’t call my name…!”
“You must calm down to save Carofald’s life. Aren’t your few friends precious?”
Shiati groaned and tried to say something. She doesn’t care about the deaths of her friends. The children who had sunk in Hameln swore that they would rather sever their own wrists than grab each other’s ankles.
But his mouth didn’t come off. I shouldn’t even have a friendly conversation with the enemy, but my body stopped at the thought of just in case.
Because she really is a normal human being.
“How did I copy his looks? Even your name and his habitual password. How did you find out about all that?”
“Uh…”
“Of course, that was the result of catching him and interrogating him. In other words, his life is in my hands.”
After kicking and laughing briefly, Sieghrund patted Shiati and cast his gaze toward me and Historia.
“Come on, Historia. day off. Will you follow my instructions to save your precious friend?”
It was clear that Shiati and Carofald were included among her precious friends. Historia gritted her teeth.
“Are you going to take a hostage…”
“It’s the most efficient way. However, as we are also driven into a corner, it is not the time to choose means and methods.”
“It is useless. We are nothing more than bridesmaids.”
“But there’s nothing wrong with taking off a bridesmaid. Besides, you might be able to convince me.”
It was a remark that seemed to be aimed at Historia. But i know That now his attention is all towards me.
hey Are you openly holding back now? You really want to strip me. I can’t pretend to be more incompetent.
Because…
“Shiatí Historia. Don’t be fooled. You can’t believe that.”
“day off. Think soberly. Maybe now is your chance. Now that we have followed the military to the very bottom, this is our chance to be guaranteed safety…!”
“Carafald is already dead. He’s holding a hostage with a dead body.”
Sieghurund smiled broadly. It was the delightful smile you see when you unravel the twisted thread and capture the prey you’ve been chasing for a long time.
In contrast, Shiati’s face was devastated. In contrast to Sieghrund’s face behind him, it stood out even more.
It seemed as if the total amount of happiness was fixed, and Sieghurund had shared the share of the two of them.
sorry. But I can’t take any more time here.
“There is no reason for the military to keep the Resistance alive. The Resistance doesn’t confine you to a workhouse. There is a possibility of inciting the laborers to riot. So the military would have killed him immediately after the interrogation.”
Carafald is dead. After all kinds of torture and interrogation, he got all the information he wanted and disposed of him who was useless.
The timing is relatively recent. According to the date, when Jiseon came to Tantalus. The headquarters ordered the public security to inspect military facilities, saying they were preparing for war, and in the process, the public security department arrested Carofald. He was ‘interrogated’ by Sieghrund…
and that was the last appearance of Carofald in Sieghrund’s memory. Carafald is obviously dead.
Shiati shouted, glaring at me as if I had killed him.
“It could be alive…!”
“no. dead Facilities for purely ‘crisping’ humans are ineffective. If you can’t make them slaves, killing them is the way of the military.”
At my conclusive words, Shiati exclaimed in a fit of rage.
“Hey, how are you so sure of that?! Do you want Carofald to die?”
“I am talking about reality. Even if he were alive, there was no way he would be fine after being interrogated by the police.”
Shiati shut her mouth.
The Resistance is a group of people who each have their own story. I don’t sell out my colleagues in a dizzying way.
In other words, if Sieghrund had directly interrogated Carofald and obtained a confession, it means that Carofald’s condition was not dire.
“…yes how do you know that?! How the hell can you be so sure!”
“Why! you said He has a mystery!”
Even though the hostage attempt had failed, Sieghrund didn’t care at all. He laughed out loud, satisfied that he had fished me out with this amount of information.
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! I know too! Yes, there is no way you don’t know! Are you yeji? Did the future that will be revealed someday whisper the truth to you?”
Now I’m pretty sure Chet. no it’s not. If I was a real prophet, would I have been caught by the likes of you?
“I am not a prophet, and even if I were, I am under no obligation to inform you.”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me. The more you do, the more disadvantaged you are!”
Oh yeah. There was a story like that.
In a military country with a short history, there is only one department dealing with mystery. Demystifiers who research, analyze, and deconstruct historical sources. A department that I might have been commissioned if I had stayed in the military.
The head there was Sieghrund. In a military country vulnerable to mysteries, he is the only one with the power to use mysteries and fight back.
He knew exactly how to deal with prophecies.
Sieghurund spoke to Historia and Shiati instead of me.
“Siaty. Historia. You are pouring your resentment into the wrong place. Why should this country endure your wrath? Is there a culprit who drove you to this situation right in front of you?”
