EP.276 The Kingdom of Steel and the Faceless People –
A telecommunicationsman who has everyone synchronized with the finish synchronization magic. They feel the same through unique magic and share the same information. After deciding how to watch, the way we talk naturally also resembles each other.
It’s to the point where I think that the military has reached the point where it can even cut out human beings.
But it can’t be.
If that was the case, would you have locked the signalman in a windowless room?
“Communication soldiers can communicate with each other! But why didn’t you help your colleague when he was at the edge of death?”
It is a moral criticism. IA, who had been locked up in a room all her life and faced it for the first time, hesitated for a moment before answering.
“That’s the radio operator’s rule…”
“Noisy! First of all, people in a hurry!”
He stopped talking and tried to urge Y with his eyes… but there was no need for that. Y is already taking medication. He tilted the card I gave him and put the 9 of hearts in his mouth, then opened Z’s mouth and let it flow inside.
Everyone paused for a moment and watched the two of them. Y, who was desperately pouring the medicine, at some point… convulsed violently and collapsed like a doll with a thread cut off.
A few were agitated, but most of them were on our side. Even at the moment when one of his comrades fell, the communications soldier remained calm.
“The drug is a lie.”
“poison? Or drugs?”
“This module has no means of resisting enemy raids. Why would you lie?”
“He was known as a swindler in Amittengrad. It must be to deceive this module.”
The communications soldiers, including IA, were unconcerned. I was assuming that this might be the case, so the fact that Y was knocked down was only an act of reaffirming my will to attack.
but only one.
“liar!”
Only X strode at me with furious fury. Historia came quickly to stop her, but I restrained her with my hand.
It should make you think and judge.
“Did you… plan to deal with all of us from the beginning…? Are you trying to continue the attack even after knowing the identity of the signalman!”
X alone pours out pure anger on me. I could go a little further here, but there’s no need to complicate things. I confided.
“The potion I used is a heart 9 false death potion. It puts a person in a state of suspended animation after drinking it for a period of time.”
“Lyrics status? Why do you use such medicine…”
“Being a sacrifice is like having your image pulled out by the root. He manages to survive, but he will die sooner or later. In such a case, in order to restore the image…”
I pretended to slit my neck once.
“It’s called a kaleidoscope, right? When you receive death or a shock close to it, the life you have lived through so far comes to mind for a moment.”
If any device gets stuck, stopping it once and then restarting it will solve most problems. It’s the same for humans.
When death or a huge stimulation close to it sweeps through the whole body, the previous nerves that were initialized briefly return to their original state, bringing back the traces of memories that have been made so far.
“So shut up. When you die once and then wake up again, a large part of the images you have accumulated throughout your life are restored. There was a need to cause the phenomenon even with drugs. Where would you like to check?”
Dumbfounded, X used unique magic again. Unlike Y and Z, the Aimeder she summoned only opened the door and took no damage. A relatively well-behaved Yuyu-mado bridged the gap between her and YZ.
“…! Sympathy…!”
Incomplete, but connected to each other. Some of the unique magic that was greatly damaged just a moment ago has been restored.
X realized what I said was the truth. At the same time, all signalmen recognized the truth. thanks to the synchronicity X changed his attitude.
“…thank you for your help.”
“are you okay. It just happened that I had a suitable means.”
It’s a means to rip you off.
I hid my feelings and gave X a friendly smile.
“Take care of the two of them. You are the most reliable person here.”
X thanked me and laid them right down.
Someone who built the military has built a pretty solid system. A way to rule the military using telecommunication soldiers who are isolated from the world. That was pretty impressive from my point of view as well.
Of course, it only impresses. A world ruled by iron men. It’s a very common concept. Everyone hoped to become an iron man and stood above everyone else.
The military that filled it with communication soldiers was pretty amazing, but it still couldn’t escape its fundamental limitations.
No matter how well you make it, the communication soldier is also a human being.
“More than that. suddenly angry you! They would have called me a deceiver!”
I strode toward the U and poked my head. U, who suddenly caught my attention, took a step back, but I caught up faster than him and yelled at him.
“Do you know who I am and evaluate me? Do you think a swindler who cheats and deceives others in the back alleys can get this far?!”
“That is not so. As for the information that Hana Main Building acquired…”
“Acquired information? I don’t know what kind of information it is, but did you think about it after seeing it yourself? Can you explain the existence of me with the information you came across?!”
U couldn’t refute anything and kept his mouth shut. Rarely for a communications sickness, she took pride in her job, and was ashamed of even the slightest mistake.
okay. This is it. A slight difference in feeling even in the same situation. minor feelings. Because humans are human beings, they are emotional and impulsive, so we have no choice but to have some gaps.
After I finished shouting, I said as I walked slowly.
“I have no intention of killing or harming you. The reason I came here in the first place is to set human values right.”
Everyone listens to what I say. This is because the signal soldiers of one module are synchronized in real time.
But will everyone hear the same?
“The military does not take care of humans. It just suppresses, punishes, and tries to rule. There is no mercy in their reign. A mother who stole to feed her starving child is imprisoned like a vicious criminal, and even if she spits out her thoughts naturally, if it goes against the ideology of the military state, they will trample on her with military boots. Without considering the feelings contained in it at all,”
he said, walking slowly, and as soon as he arrived in front of P, he turned his head and shouted loudly.
“The same goes for the communications soldier who is dying slowly while confined in a small room!!”
“Kyaa!”
P, who is particularly sensitive to stimuli, was startled by my cry and kicked his butt. The reason why a communications soldier can have composure is because he communicates through the golem, and if he is naked, he is no different from a normal person.
He smiled mockingly at her and brought his face closer to R who was next to him.
“I cannot accept this country. There is no joy that comes like a coincidence, no luxury and pleasure like a dream overnight. Being moved by seeing someone or changing one’s mind on a whim. Counting from the heart before the sin. People take precedence over rules. I want a country like that!”
“Why don’t you tell the headmaster…”
“You never thought of that? When punishing criminals according to military law. The guy who sold his conscience for little money and the guy who stole money for a while to treat a family member who was about to die. Is it right to punish both of them equally for the same crime?”
R, who collects judgments and precedents among the military’s signalmen. If it were her, she would take it a little more seriously. In this way, little by little, I give everyone a different word. Pry and wiggle from side to side as you open the gap with a sharp skewer.
“You guys are wrong! I don’t know who taught you to be like this, but you’re completely wrong! Do you think it will be objective if you surround yourself with steel walls, talk only through golems, and talk to each other in the shadows? no! That’s neglect and give up! If you are the headquarters that moves the military, you must not give up thinking!”
Is it because I’m slowly feeling something? IA, who can be said to be the manager of this module, steadfastly tried to cut me off.
“It is a pointless claim. I can’t come up with a better alternative, so your opinion
is…” “Shut up! I don’t care about your opinion as a bystander!”
I slapped my cheek. IA, who had also collapsed, put on a sad expression for a very short time.
Her unique magic is the type that binds several communication soldiers at close range… In other words, if you put this as a class, it’s the class president. Her power is so powerful that it’s limited to short range, so it’s enough to trap all 25 people here.
So your comments are not allowed. They force me to not be able to speak in the first place.
How will you explode and die? That’s it.
“Too many words. Leah, just cover that person’s mouth while I speak.”
“…Do you really want to go that far?”
“It is necessary. If you won’t, I’ll just gag you.”
Historia, believing that it was better to keep her mouth shut than to be gagged, went behind IA and put her mouth shut. The straitjacket’s restraints were stronger than most of the straitjacket’s, and the straitjacket even possessed intelligence that it was inconvenient to possess.
IA was now frozen and was in a position to just watch what I was saying.
“You guys are doing great. Given that the military is still intact, that’s for sure. But you are also human. It’s not always right.”
I raised my hand. The 10 heart card that I broke earlier. Originally it should have been red, but since all the liquid inside had drained out, I picked up the card with a pale gray heart with two fingers.
“For example like this. If I could put the card back to normal…”
But after I waved the card with my finger a couple of times and then rolled it up and breathed on it, the card turned red again.
Returning the heart to its original state, I proudly waved it.
“What did I do? Do you, who have lived your whole life in that small room, know?”
A phenomenon that cannot be explained by logic alone. Some communication soldiers felt something similar to the desire to observe rather than curiosity.
Communications soldiers who have been confined to their rooms all their lives are patients with acquired voyeurism. Without going through the golem, they are only confined in a steel box, so they connect to the golem without anyone telling them to see the world.
And the easiest thing to trick with magic is those who are new to magic.
“There is no reason to notice. It’s clear he cheated. There is nothing magical about it.”
only one. S set out to cut off the curiosity of the communication soldiers.
But the method was wrong. Claiming to be a trick means half admitting the existence of magic. If you weren’t interested in the first place, you wouldn’t know, but such a claim is rather a prey.
