Haroon

After a few hours of welcoming, the villagers left Harun and his crew excited to get their house cleaned up. The men who were well sober gathered to talk.

The race rose and sat down with some people, including Dr. Hwang, facing Rum and shoulders with a graceful face. In the meantime, rum and lace were completely in love. The way they looked at each other was fierce, and they held hands like they didn't want to fall.

The story goes around and now Dr. Hwang is the target.

“Why did Dr. Hwang come from such a good company? ”

Race questions were natural. Neckwall is a world class enterprise unlike any other owned by Union Nobles. The remuneration and treatment were known to be much better than those of Union Gulag.

“Phew!”

Dr. Hwang thought of avoiding the question with a slight smile, but everyone was waiting for his answer after closing their eyes to those who saw him. Even the Saw's eyes are shining, so there's no escaping.

“I originally majored in anthropology. But it wasn't a field of money. I taught in college for a while, but life wasn't easy. So I studied geology even more. By the time I was studying, the knowledge of the placenta from the previous civilization had been lost and became barren. Moreover, no one challenged the realm because the subject of the study was land and had to go out directly. I traveled all over the world arrogantly, collecting and theorizing data on geology in action, and publishing a bunch of books about geology in general. Then Union gave me a job with the last one. I gave the deputy warden to the Union Auxiliary Research Institute to study the geography of the massive earthquake that erupted during the end of the war. ”

Some people, like Melon Heney, knew Dr. Hwang, but others looked at him with respectful eyes. majoring in two and not one disciplines was the area of imagination for the general public.

“In a year and a half, I've lived outside Union. Of course, he was always guarded by Special Forces. And the other half were doing lectures on my subject at the university or analyzing and researching data collected from the lab. After living like that, I've lived like this without a single courtship that everyone else can think of. ”

Despite being a respected scholar for his natural passion and effort, his voice contained an unseen repentance. Henny looks at Dr. Hwang and opens his mouth with sad eyes.

“That's why students and post-graders admire you. Your pure academic passion deserves respect. ”

“Haha! Without that, my life would be nothing but a shell. Yeah. After all, I feel like I haven't lived like a human being. I feel like everyone else is doing it. I have a lot of regrets about not being able to talk to each other and share. I live alone. ”

The mood of the people seemed to sink, too, according to Dr. Hwang who felt depressed.

“I was considering giving up my position as a professor for my subordinates when a scout offer came in from Neckwall. I wondered what virtual reality games were, and I wanted to solve my academic questions through them. ”

His words made some people's faces look strange. I knew there was a way to get into Neckwall, but it was hard to understand that I was solving academic questions. Dr. Hwang, who read that expression, smiled slightly.

“This is a secret…… In fact, the game Beyond was not created by Neckwall, nor could it be controlled even if it was created. ”

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

The question of race came out right away.

“That was my assignment at Neckwall. The surface was to identify the geology of the Byron Empire, the climate, and so forth, to find buggy elements. But then I realized... In fact, Neckwall doesn't know everything about Beyond. ”

Dr. Hwang's words were shocking. Other than Beyond Beyond, there were still fewer people from entertainment villages and bureaucrats who were not familiar with the game, but more experienced people like Sauna Rum and Race had their mouths shut.

“There have been rumors. Bjorn went around for a while because of the fact that there were no God-like operators in other games, and the lack of patches, that he couldn't even control the main computer running the giant program in Neckwall. ”

There have been rumors like that for a while, just like Saw said.

“I geologically approached the game. But it was an impossible attempt. It was a world of magic instead of science, and there was no basic machinery. So I started approaching different areas. Especially in astronomy and meteorological research and research. ”

People have now begun to drizzle. Perhaps I could pass on a giant secret piece of Beyond today.

“In fact, about six months, I did my own research and research without the help of a special research assistant, and it was amazing. According to my research, Beyond's world is more real than suspended reality. That's why I was reminded of the possibilities. Among them was the theory that there is still a mysterious universal world within the Earth, an ancient human being that has escaped disaster. ”

“It's impossible with science, haven't we already reached an end of the world conclusion? ”

Race must have heard about that theory.

“Maybe not. In the apocalypse, a lot of classified facts were hidden or distorted by the great powers. Now it's always been hidden from the public about the existence of aliens known to be true and their encounter with them. The same is true of global commonality. Evidence and testimony that such a world may exist has been falsely attributed to NASA and the European Space Technology Center ESTEC, who at the time did not rule the scientific world. I don't think there's any chance Beyond's world is on Earth. Rather, it's likely to exist on another planet or another dimension. If you look at the motions of the celestial bodies changing seasonally, or at the constellations, it's a different galaxy. Anyway, I can't admit that Beyond's world is a virtual reality. Even if the ancient computer has a divine ability, it is impossible to grant that many NPCs a separate personality or ability. Moreover, Beyond's natural phenomenon, deep history, and diverse academics and cultures cannot be created by any number of supercomputers. ”

“Then what is that world? You're telling me the ancient computer opened another dimension of doorway? No, it doesn't make any sense. When it comes to dimensional motion, the body itself has to move, but it doesn't. ”

Henny had heard Dr. Hwang before, but he couldn't understand it better. There have been quite a few examples of space travel. Before the age of the Apocalypse, people who have suddenly disappeared from one Union are often found on the other side of the earth.

“I didn't major in physics, but I don't know any theories, because, as you know, physics is completely extinguished and eradicated by the unions who have mastered its foundation, pure science, by seducing it with sweet technology. But I have a better idea. From Einstein and a series of physicists who have brought the scientific civilization to the forefront of the apocalypse, the theory of superstring theory suggests that through many hypotheses and verifications, we live in a world of nine dimensions of space and one dimension of time. But in the realm of psychophysics at the end of the age, they argued that the universe itself is a world projected into our minds, or our minds, so it can exist across many dimensions as it expands its mental power. So the theory says that you can perceive what exists in another dimension as if you were dreaming by giving it the will, even though it exists in reality. That's how some scientists define Beyond's world. The emerging capabilities of ancient computers and supercomputers stimulate our brains to show and experience worlds that are not normally seen or perceived. It's just that unlike a dream, you can manipulate your avatar artificially. Of course, the theoretical foundation is too weak to claim with confidence. ”

This is an age when precious knowledge and theories of chemistry, called pure science, are lost. Only that sweet fruit remains and lives in a dangerous pile of civilizations on the sand. Therefore, it is not known whether Dr. Hwang is right or not, but it is true whether he is tempted.

“Maybe……. ”

Race was surprised by the existence of NPEs who were so realistic that they could hardly tell the difference between Beyond and the user, that they had only a poor theoretical basis, as he said, but were attracted by Dr. Hwang's words.

If Bjorn's NPCs were built and operated by computers up to the level of intelligence, behavioral patterns, and thought, they would already have the ability to create a new human being.

That's God! ’

Even if you created a perfect human NPC that does not feel different from humans, it would be possible to create that body. In the Apocalypse, even the same cyborgs were physically created as humans.

Then it is safe to assume that Bjorn's main computer is at least in the poetry's position and has the ability to actually create a new human being.

When I thought that, my heart sank. I came up with a theory of fear.

"Did you say that Babin Marker is a computer organism that was created by a human being or someone from a previous civilization, carefully set up by something else? ’

It was an argument I had seen somewhere.

Scientific engineering in the middle of the apocalypse was such that no new creature had ever existed that computer engineering could design genes and artificially cultivate them. It was said to be able to pass on unique genetic information through reproduction to generations and evolve.

Technology conquered beyond the microscopic realm of one-billionth nanometers to one-trillion nanometers or one-trillion nanomicrons was the realm of God in this age.

A humanoid humanoid humanoid robot that appeared briefly at the end of the Apocalypse and at the beginning of the Human Age. In other words, some human cyborgs are designed with millinano-engineered semiconductors and precision instruments that are almost identical in body and intelligence to humans. They even had sex with humans to see their offspring.

My body suddenly trembled. The horror of stepping foot in the realm of God has eroded my mind.

“Anyway, I didn't accept my argument at Neckwall. Well, I'm not so sure myself. Who would take that theory? Neckwall no longer seems to care whether Beyond is real or not. ”

We still don't know why Dr. Hwang came out of Neckwall. It is unknown whether he resigned on his own or in his useless research at the company level, but it is not important.

‘Anyway, I'm here with you right now in space-time. Perhaps the end of my life will be with you. I'm asking you nicely. You're like family and friends to me. ”

Now, in the dusk, the old man's sad words ring strangely.

Maybe he's a happy human being. Because he had the opportunity to focus on what he liked when everyone else was devoting all their energy to eating.

On the other hand, it may be unfortunate that they are with those who are thrown out of the barrier like this without any memories or fate in their old age.

“I've lived a happy life. I'm on the right path. But as time goes by, so does thinking. For me now, my previous life will never be happy. It's my way of trying to protect and maintain my precious relationship right now. ”

I got used to it.

His life did not deviate greatly from monotony compared to those who struggled to survive, but there was something that aroused his heart by watching everything he had.

Harun spoke with the village elders, including the chief, for a moment, then went down to rest and had a drink with the elders who had brought the cup to him. It wasn't intentional, but Rosu and Iron had naturally joined, and Saul came back to the side after wandering around the base and looking at the facilities and equipment.

Bell and Ari were busy clearing out food with the crew who hadn't traveled, but when they saw people gathering around Harun, they sent a large mountain to the area. After checking on the situation of the villagers and joining the Nine, the rest of the crew naturally kept their distance.

“I thought the thundering mercenaries were as strong in the game as I thought, but I didn't think Ura mercenaries could count this strong in the real world. ”

“Yeah, this should be enough to build a city. How did you come to have this kind of power when you're so young? ”

The question of the crew may be obvious. At the same age as Rum, it's only a matter of time now. At that age, it was beyond comprehensible to have such a gigantic base of money that could not be obtained with a sword that could express a sword.

Harun had nothing to say to Rossu and Iron Herald. If you tell him a series of things that happened after the adult ceremony, no one will believe you. Through many new human relationships, including Beyond's world, he has now become more and more commonplace with Humans.

“There will come a time when we can talk about that. Not because I don't trust you, but because I have a situation. Just relax and enjoy the moment. ”

Fortunately, no one vomited Harun's words. There can be no dissatisfaction as it solves not only the self, but also the consciousness of the family. It is not the same mortal life as before, but can also be enjoyed in Minimum C in Union. However, they only felt that they had not been recognized enough by Harun as a member. I still didn't hear specifically about what the storm troopers were doing and how they were going to do it. However, we cannot ask again because there are no words from the same constituents.

As the atmosphere subsided, Saw opened his mouth. The face of Saw, who had been wandering around holding the bottle instead of food from the beginning, was blazing.

“It doesn't matter whether you inherited this enormous company from your predecessor or created it yourself. It's important that we have colleagues who we can rely on and dream with. I've never felt anything like this since I was this old, but I've felt a lot since joining the gale mercenaries. ”

The people's gaze was drawn to Saw.

“Ever since I was a kid, I've been called a genius, but I don't like to be bothered by my dirty personality. I've always had work to do alone and not bored at all. If I had any questions, I'd be immersed in it for days and days. When people were learning everyday things and working, I was focused on the things that caught my attention. I guess people thought I was so unlucky. It's only been a few years since I learned to talk and be considerate with people like this. Maybe if you'd seen me before, you'd know what a human is. ”

Harun, who was listening to Saw, turned to himself. Although it is different, it is because he also knows that he has lived a life far away from normal people's categories.

"I've been wanting to? All I did was get stronger. I didn't know its power or its limits, I just wanted to be strong. ’

Nowadays, I worry a lot about getting stronger.

When I was weaker than a child, I thought I was just getting stronger and stronger, but after training with Dylan for a while, I changed my mind a little bit.

‘Becoming strong. Truly strong is the mind. A strong mind can overcome the limits of the body. ’

But that was Dylan's story, and his thoughts were a little different. If the strong body is not based on the strong body, or if the mind and body are not in balance, the true strength is not achieved. It was almost impossible to overcome the limitations that the weak body could produce, no matter how strong the mind was in the weak body.

What he really wanted was to be a normal human being. When I was a child, I lived without love. I don't want or dream anymore because I am old. But when he was found incapable and became a Watcher, he realized that he was truly useless.

I wanted to live an ordinary life where I could get a job where I could earn enough money to make a living, so that I could be loved and loved by my family, be jealous of someone, be jealous of someone, and share love with them.

However, the biggest reason why it did not happen was physical weakness. That's why I wanted to be strong. But with luck, overcoming the physical weakness, you now see another major flaw in yourself.

He felt little or no ordinary emotions of others, whether he had withered or died without being able to develop them. No, I didn't even know if it was too small or not.

And get back what you lost! ’

He had a lot to lose.

Things normal people must experience and feel. They began with pity and compassion for others who had just begun to feel, to love and friendship. To do so, you need to have various relationships with many people without running away or avoiding them as before.

Through those relationships, others should leap to a new and more mature relationship based on the beliefs and beliefs that others have learned and learned, as well as jealousy and timing, and that.

I created a squadron of storm troopers and summoned the inhabitants of the village to this base, but it wasn't necessarily about making money or preparing for a distant future with my own forces. When I first decided I wanted to do something worthwhile in reality, but I was constantly conferred with authority by having experiences and interpersonal relationships.

After a long time of raising his voice and seeing those who deeply appreciate their lives and their theories, Harun sank deep into his own. Harun, who had experienced and established things through his adolescence, had only just begun to think.

Dr. Hwang and Hani come forward as the elders go to collect their own crew. He looks at Harun's red face and covers his face with both hands.

“You must have had a lot to drink. His face turned red like it was going to explode. ”

“Yes, I was in a good mood, so I couldn't resist the cup. ”

“Me, too. It was expensive, but I don't really like it, so I don't remember much. I've never had a drink like this in my life. ”

Her face was brighter than ever. Although my body was slightly shaken by the energy of alcohol, my eyes were giving off a very special glow.

“I've never felt better, commander. ”

“Let's have a drink and talk. ”

The three of them toasted to a bright future.

“Will the commander stop here? ”

Harun was momentarily embarrassed by Dr. Hwang's sudden words. I didn't know exactly what to ask.

“Are you even thinking about advancing to mercenaries and cities with hopes and dreams?" ”

As soon as Harun heard that, he felt an excitement that he did not know. He created a mercenary simply by living in reality in the future. Then I considered the migration of the residents of the village of entertainment. It's not that far into the future.

“Of course it is. What are you asking, Doctor? ”

“Really? Well, without a noble goal, this is a tremendous facility for those who have nothing at no cost and cannot provide all sorts of amenities. ”

As soon as I heard Dr. Hwang's words, I tried to be offended by whatever it was. I felt like I wanted something so I could provide the best environment for my residents or crew.

“Khh! A noble goal? ”

As he emptied his cup and looked at the empty cup, Hani quickly filled his own words with bitter feelings. Harun raises his gaze and slowly opens his mouth, gazing at them with red eyes.

“There is no such thing as a noble goal. I've spent so much time growing up that I couldn't learn, I couldn't get along with other people, I couldn't feel normal emotions, and I've worked very hard to become strong. And then I made money that I didn't know was worth it, and I met some of the guys who were following me. While I was doing my best to be crazy strong, I realized that I thought differently and felt differently about what was wrong. It wasn't until I realized that I still had an unfortunate childhood damage ritual and that I was having difficulty feeling human compassion that I could turn my attention to anyone other than myself. But I was used to living alone, so for a while I had difficulty communicating with others. I wanted to have a relationship with the feelings of being around each other, experiencing them and feeling them. So now I want to live something worthwhile with the right people. If I have more power, I want to give more people an opportunity to dream new dreams, and I want to keep them from growing like me. This is really why I'm expanding the storm troops. ”

Harun unwittingly revealed his true heart. When I thought about it alone, I was not clear, but when I had a conversation with my opponent like this, my true heart was revealed. Of course, Dr. Hwang and Hani had a shred of information about GG and HG that they still didn't need to know about.

Harun's words soften Dr. Hwang's gaze.

“Oops! If you take an old man's words so seriously, how can you expect me to behave when I'm sober?" It was just unconscious of the commander to think it was too strange to overtreat our newcomers and residents of the entertainment village. ”

“I didn't think the commander was up to it. ”

The position changed strangely immediately after showing his apology to Henny.

“I'm sorry. I drank, but I can't reveal what I've always wanted to reveal. Don't worry too much and enjoy yourself here. ”

“No, I'm sorry. Anyway, hearing the commander's words makes me feel like I was sitting on one side of my chest. Now that I know what the commander thinks of the Storm Mercenaries, I will no doubt try to make our base a paradise and make our mercenaries a coveted group. ”

“Me, too. I'll work hard. I'm done playing games. I'm going to focus on reality. ”

“Thank you. I'll try. Let's make a wonderful world for ourselves." Here, cheers! ”

In Harun's toast, the two of them empty their cups, waving them upside down over their heads and smiling widely.

“I have a lot to do from now on, by the way. ”

Henny's eyes gleam again. There was something I wanted to say. It was the same behavior as the avatar in the game.

“We've got a lot of work to do. But now that this place is home, everyone's gonna try to protect it and make it a better place. ”

According to Dr. Hwang, Henny nods.

“Wouldn't it be great if there were more people? ”

Horses spoke to Dr. Hwang, but his gaze was on Harun. Harun notices Henny's insides. She doesn't know herself, but she knows herself inside and out about her.

“Hehe! I guess Hennie knows people who fit in with our mercenaries. ”

“Bingo! That's right, boss. I know people who'd be great to come here. There are people who grew up in bullish environments like the commander, but still live a bully life unlike the commander who overcame them. If they were here, they'd be able to dream of a new dream and a new future and live a real life. I want them to know that there are places like this. ”

Dr. Hwang grins, but does not add to his remark. That's for the commander to decide.

“I've heard from myself that Henny is from an artificial lens and is doing good for them. Do you want to bring them here? ”

Harun's words startled Heny and Dr. Hwang. It was exactly what he had in mind. I was worried that I might have considered it, and that I might not be thinking negatively if I hadn't said it already.

“The young adults last year could use another boost. You can be a mercenary if you want to, or you can settle down at the base. Okay, I'll take it. ”

“Really? Gaaak! ”

She screams and likes it. Already the left was a very noisy situation, such as loud voices and laughter of people who were overly drunk, so it didn't attract much attention.

“That's very thoughtful of you, Commander. I've been watching them for a while as my advisor, but each one of them has one thing in common. Although most people don't appreciate their abilities at Union, this place would be a great place to flourish. ”

Dr. Hwang was also very happy.

Most of the artificial lenses were wandering around without finding work to do inside Union anyway. Like most residents, this would be a good place to rest, since most people have not been able to get a part-time job.

‘You can have hope here. ’

It's an unprotected place, but at least it's a place where you can live freely. Hani was very upset about the brothers in the artificial lens, accompanying the people in the village. This will be a proper sanctuary for the brothers who are threatened with the least amount of food and sleep.

“I'll get him right away. ”

“What's the number? ”

Now that I had decided to build the right organization, I had to actively check everything.

“We've found 223 brothers so far. The number of siblings who need safe housing is about eight. The sex ratio is four to six, with a little bit more women. ”

That makes about 175. With this number of young people, the atmosphere here will be more active.

“Let's consider that, then. ”

“Thank you, commander. I will repay you for this favor. ”

I didn't know what to do with her. It's not his job, but I didn't tell him I like him that much, but as the same artificial handful, he thought it was amazing. I felt for her the feeling of being a woman for a moment, but now I feel admired as the same human being.

Meanwhile, Bell approaches and slaps him on the shoulder.

“Brother! I think I need to clean up.... ”

“Oh, yeah? ”

Harun regained his senses and looked around the intestine. I noticed the squawking crew everywhere. Someone was drunk and screaming loudly, and someone was singing.

The atmosphere of the intestine was now to be cleaned up. It could have faded as the spirit could no longer be suppressed.

”Attention!”

Harun draws his attention with a loud voice, and the crew all pay attention to him. Fortunately, I haven't relieved my tension, so I haven't seen any of the men who were completely drunk and lost their minds.

“Did you enjoy your stay? ”

“Yes!”

“Fantastic!”

The crew responded loudly.

“It's time to take that feeling and prepare for tomorrow. The meeting is tomorrow morning at 7: 00 a.m., so please rest up and meet in the small conference room. ”

The crew who talked a lot about the alcohol leaned against each other and left the restaurant. I felt relieved that the cyborgs who had become familiar with each other for a long time, but were now from the town of Entertainment and from the Cabinet Inspector, and believed to be existing members, would not be awkward.
