Hermit Wizard

39. The price of carelessness (3)

Instead of immediately answering that the city in which the incident occurred was Seoul, Simon turned his back.

“Before I do, I'd like to ask. ”

“You. Ask a question. ”

Simon trimmed his ears. And I look at the laser and I feel a twenty-first satellite. What is it?

I quickly noticed why. A few eyes of the laser were scattered from room to room here and there, but now all fourteen eyes are staring at themselves. Oh, no. All fifteen. In the meantime, I opened one more eye.

Simon felt a little awkward knowing that there was no way for him to react.

“Why do you need this information? ”

“· · · It's a long story. Can I talk to the brain instead of the voice? I don't speak English very well. ”

Simon refused decisively, as he already knew through his work report and Geoffrey's faction.

“No. Speak with voice instead of telepathy. ”

“Mm-hmm. Got it. What I'm looking for is the one who called that flying demon into this world. ”

Contrary to previous attempts documented in the report, the eLaser began to fold its insistence on wanting to write a telepathy and to articulate with nurture. It is the effect of the transaction.

Simon, who heard his answer, noticed that the e-laser initially used the word "animal," and then, after listening to his explanation, changed the word to "demon."

“It could be the people of Earth. You may not be a person on Earth. But I know. He's probably a wizard. ”

Simon asked a question, hiding his surprise color.

“What does it mean to call us into this world? ”

“The demon probably didn't come in the usual way. The world where that demon lives. This world. Two cannot be connected. The world where the devil lives, it's very high. In this world, it's low. Oh, it's too hard to explain! I want to say" brain. "”

“No. Slowly, please describe it in the English words you know. ”

“· · · Do you know the channel? ”

“Yes.”

“The world where the devil lives, this world, this channel cannot be connected. One is very high, one is low. ”

“The dimensions that those creatures come from, and the dimensions that we live in, are heights, not levels? Are you saying that you can't connect to a channel because of a level difference? ”

“That's right.”

Courrrrrrrr

The eLaser smiles and talks.

“Finder of our world said, There is such a person in this world. Perhaps a wizard. You can connect. It can be connected where it cannot be connected. And I can sing. I find the wizard. I want to talk to you. There's something I want to ask you. ”

Simon quickly cleared his mind. The expression was not smooth, but the meaning could be understood. The flying creatures that originally lived in a dimension where the channel could not be opened. Such creatures appeared on Earth. No scenes from the channel were witnessed.

What do you call that creature, an individual or a group? Is he an Earthling or a xenophobic from another channel? How do I get a flying creature from where the channel can't open? Is there a door that leads to another dimension besides the channel?

“So, what do you want to ask the wizard? ”

“I want to learn. Learn how.”

“What is Finder? ”

“I want to talk to you about the brain...”

“Explain it in words you know. ”

But this time, the response of the xenophobia was stiff.

“I can't explain it in my voice. It's very complicated.”

In fact, this part is the one that pays the most attention at the top. It was also the reason why I fled to bargain with the laser. A powerful being named Finder who received sacrifices and gave us information about our world. Simon speculated that the superior had some conjecture about the existence. A level of confidence is one of secrecy that cannot be accessed.

Among the races with civilizations and knowledge that can explain this side of the world, such as the principle or purpose of creating a channel, the most human-friendly races are the "Grampéry" that appeared in Hong Kong. However, they only interact with humanity (China) within a restricted area controlled by the Chinese government. On the other hand, the United States has still not begun a proper exchange of civilizational units.

Because of this, his superiors and his superiors seem to be responding hysterically because of the fact that the United States might fall behind in the knowledge of an alien civilization that might change the fate of this world. The Jobashim flew all the way to a foreign jungle, capturing foreigners and putting them under his protection.

Even though the xenophobia is now responding rather dishonestly to requests for cooperation.

Simon gave up and moved on to another question.

“Do you know why the channel opens? ”

“That question, it's not the first time. So far, six people on Earth have asked me, It's a difficult question. The answer is complex. I don't speak English well. It can be explained by the brain. ”

Upper Canada also wanted to get information about this side of the world in return for the deal. However, e-lasers do not seem to want to tell themselves more than 'why they need information’.

Simon tries to ask a few more similar questions, but each time, a strong refusal returns.

That's how time flies. I felt it hit the wall.

"Shit!"

The back of Simon's shirt began to sweat while the interview continued, rarely having access to the answers his superiors wanted.

When I get stressed, I think of myself unknowingly.

What if it was my father? If my father, who was considered one of the best agents in the company, were here, would he not be able to overcome this situation somehow?

Yes, if you were a father, you might have been able to handle the xenophobia too easily. The father who was the biggest bonehead and idol in his life. If you can get advice from someone who has already passed away! I wanted to rely on my father who was not already by my side.

It was time to think that way.

I felt like my head was getting weirder. I feel like my senses are moving away a little. Simon thought it was strange and then forgot about it.

How many of these were originally open?

Simon stops when he realizes that one, two, and three of the eyes of the e-laser have become meaningless.

I didn't have eyes to close. The eLaser opens all 23 eyes and stares at itself with all those eyes.

How much time has passed, Simon forgets even that thought again.

And when he regained consciousness, he stood up and said goodbye. The willingness to get an answer you haven't heard in any way is gone. Convinced that he had achieved enough, Simon greeted him calmly.

“Thank you for taking the time today. ”

The answer came back from beyond the glass wall.

“Goodbye. Nice to meet you, Agent Simon Van de Camp. ”

* * *

Simon came out of the observation room with no sense of disguise. Jeffrey, who was waiting in the next room, rushes out and asks.

“Are you all right?”

“Yes, we didn't get all the answers we were aiming for, but we're still making great progress. All you have to do now is hand over the transcript and the report to our information analysis team. ”

“No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's not that. Sometimes they act meaninglessly, but then there are a number of cases in which the subject has had a peculiar reaction."

“Oh, you don't have to worry. I'm fine. And, in the first place, I told you that I don't have religion. You can't have a peculiar reaction. I don't have a forgettable target. ”

“Ah, but that's it. ”

“Thank you for your support for two consecutive days. I'd like to say hello to the Branch Director before returning to Headquarters. ”

After leaving quarantine area 25 and saying goodbye to Jeffrey, he walked all the way to the branch office alone, and Simon organized an interview with the xenophobics today. I've recorded it, but it's not bad to draw an outline of the report in advance.

In the meantime, Simon realizes The xenophobic did not hear the answer to one question from themselves. He asked where the city where the channel occurred, but instead of saying Seoul, he dragged time and avoided an immediate answer. After that, Simon didn't remember answering the question. ’

Knock, knock.

A middle-aged man greets himself when he enters the branch office.

“Well done, Agent Van de Camp. ”

Simon shook hands with the branch manager and smiled.

“Thank you for your support. There have been meaningful achievements. ”

“Well done! I look forward to hearing good news from Headquarters. I'm sure Richard would be very happy to see this. I'm growing up and doing my part as an agent. ”

“· · · · ”

Simon mutters with his bare eyes, and the branch manager asks why.

“Why not? Agent Van de Camp? ”

“Richard? What kind of Richard do you mean? ”

“Hahaha, not really. Who else would I be talking to in this situation, of course, Richard Van de Camp? Your little father. ”

Richard de Camp?

Simon Van de Camp quietly muttered to himself.

Who is that?

Who was my father?

“Agent Van de Camp? ”

The light of suspicion, conviction, and finally awe passes in the eyes of the Branch Leader who looks at Simon.

“Did you forget? ”

The Branch Director's voice trembles.

“Isn't forgetting the god that a devout religious man believed in all his power? ”

The Branch Director reverts to what he has been doing. Faithful believers who have been peculiar in contact with the laser so far forget the existence of the god they believed in. However, there were no other adverse events at all.

At that time, Simon's voice is heard in his head. Pure meaning was conveyed, which did not borrow the form of English.

Get rid of it.

Simultaneously with his voice ringing, Simon forgot everything he had thought of before.

After the memory of his father, Richard Van de Camp, was erased, Simon trembled again, forgetting the memory of forgetting him.

Instead, he focuses on the warm voice that comes into his head. He's the one who's talking to me now, my hero. The biggest butterfly and idol. A rock I can trust and rely on.

“Yes, Father. ”

With the answer, Simon rushes to the branch manager at the same speed as the wind, which is not thought to be human. After more than a decade of retirement from the scene, Simon's two hands grabbed the head of the branch's face before even a middle-aged agent could evade reflection.

Toothless!

After breaking the head of the branch's neck in a single breath, Simon gently rests on his neck and back before his body collapses with a loud voice on the floor.

Then he searches the body's arms and takes out the key. I opened a small vault hidden at the end of the search as soon as I opened the branch commander's room, and I took out another heavy masterkey key pack and put it in my arms.

Simon opens the branch office door and runs to the observation room at full speed. Contrary to concerns, armed men who were standing guard everywhere were already killed by their fathers' other children and brushed to the ground. A red-haired male agent who just shot another agent who can't hear his father looks at himself with a dark eye. This is a face that has been overlooked outside the quarantine zone. His hand lamp was engraved with an emblem tattoo that symbolizes a religion.

Turning his dry gaze behind his back, Simon enters the observation room and turns to a corner of the wall where his voice tells him. The plain wall opens and the keyhole opens.

I put the emergency master key from the branch commander's room in there and turned it. The door opens, Simon walks in.

In front of his eyes, he sat twisting his legs on a pale brown faux leather recliner.

Lying half-slanted and buried on his back, his father, who opened his twenty-three eyes, looks at him and says,

Let's go, to that city called Seoul.
