Hermit Wizard

An apartment in Gyeonggi-do.

There was a woman sitting in the living room with the lights out. Looking over the dining table with an unclear focus. There was a cell phone. She sat there all day, not saying it was anything else.

And I heard a voice breaking the static.

It's an international call.

The phone liquid crystal glows with the incoming prompt. The light returned to the woman's eyes as well. The stiff statue slowly stretches out its arms as if it were moving.

“Hello?”

Beyond the sign language, a cautious voice was heard.

“· · · Sister? ”

“Gospel?”

The woman's voice trembled.

“What the hell have you been doing? I can't make one phone call. Where are you now? Why do you call your number foreign? ”

“Not a foreign country. The Korean government deliberately manipulated the numbers. It's a security line. An untraceable source. ”

“Are you with the people of my country? ”

Asking questions, she was skeptical. Why am I asking you this now? Of course I'll be with you. My brother works for the state in secret because of his ability to be different from the average person.

“No wonder. I'm still calling from the safe house in the country. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan hesitated and asked.

“Why are you keeping people from living in the government these days? You threatened to expose me to the press if you didn't let me out? Then I'll get in trouble and you'll get in trouble. ”

“Because you haven't heard from Tong! ”

“You barely contacted me on purpose after you entered the training camp. ”

Kim Kyung-hwan's sister embraced it. I did. I didn't really get in touch with my brother. I was worried, but didn't want to get in the way of what I was doing. I would feel more confident if I heard from him.

But sometime, there was a big change in her attitude. Suddenly, I felt like I needed to know where my brother was. When the government refused to respond, there was an intense willingness to listen to their voices. This was a very urgent and absolute impulse, unlike simply worrying about my brother.

Since when?

I don't know.

She didn't remember. I saw the presence of a boy I met a few weeks ago. The moment I met him, the moment I felt the mist in my head.

* * *

I opened my eyes to the boy who was closing his eyes in China's motherland.

“You got a call. ”

He was in a room full of equipment. In addition to the boy, many people were busy moving, manipulating the device and watching the monitor.

“I'm tracking it now. ”

The boy nods and asks.

“The Korean government is listening to this call, right? ”

“Yes, but knowing our location will not allow us to act as aggressively as we do. They are desperate to stop planting Yoon Min-jun. ”

The master, who heard it, broke his mouth.

“I can't believe I didn't believe the President's warning, but I also cooperated with Yoon Min-jun. It's a true share of the destruction of humanity. ”

The middle-aged man who heard it laughed bitterly. He was an executive officer of the Chinese Ministry of National Security, with the entire staff moving in the room under him.

“Even if the diarrhea is true, the destruction is a few hundred years from now. Haven't you handed over your efforts to conceal the truth and the risk of destruction to future generations? ”

“That's an evasive mindset. ”

A master who smiles and flashes purple eyes. The executive looked closely at him. Although unlike an ordinary man, he introduced himself as the lion of another world savior.

“When Gramiel takes control of this world, everything will be solved. The number of channels will plummet, and your lives will be restored. You don't have to pass on your duties to future generations. In exchange for a very small human sacrifice, you will get everything. ”

The executive nods.

“We are different. The party controls everything. to the future that our descendants should embrace. ”

Master murmured with a shallow breath.

“Unlike you, the leaders of that land are determined to forget for a moment that they are a future in which they do not appear. ”

After a while, there was silence in the room. Agents of the Ministry of National Security listened to the contents of the telephone call through equipment and through a human spirit bound to fascination.

Horace Child's room was not a place to leap from any space. His and other members' rooms were accessible only through certain buildings in certain public goods rooms. Most of the buildings in the public goods rooms served as entrances to other rooms in that way.

Me, Maru and Parvashe took the road of light. Suddenly, a pioneer with a huge body approached. It was also moving in the same direction as us.

“Hello? You're the floor? ”

Maru greets you with a look at the opponent's information set.

“How are you? You're Mybi. ”

“Yes. I'll show you to Horace Child's room. ”

When I heard that, I had a curious look in my eyes. There was no need for a guide station on the road of light. No matter how young you are, you can recognize the information scattered in the space and find the right path.

The opponent said he noticed the question.

“You weren't born in this world, so I guess you're worried. He sent me. ”

“But Maivy, you're not on the committee? ”

It seems that the information set makes it easy to read and interpret his identity.

“That's right. I'm not Horace Child's subordinate. I know him personally. He didn't call you today, but a private invitation, did he? You asked me for a personal favor, not a work order. ”

The floor rattled to see if it made any sense. Before he said anything more, Maivy asked.

“You guys had an interview with the Old Man today? It's been a long time. Everyone's talking about it. ”

“Yes, I interviewed him. ”

“What did you look like? ”

“What is it?”

“The savior. How did it look?”

The floor picked out a few words.

“It's just, it looks fine. ”

“Didn't it look sad or angry? ”

“I've never seen such a miracle. ”

The floor kept what I heard secret. He knows now. The soothsayer noticed that there was a lot of anger throughout the conversation. I have also heard of the fierce and twisted anger I felt from her.

Myby twirls his tentacles in the rapidly flowing light.

“Really? That's a big deal. I think I'd be very sad if I were her. You're stuck there your whole life, and your instinctive needs have to stay under control. You're not doing what you had to do. In fact, our world is now supported by her sacrifice. ”

“But according to the Nation Protection Act, you can't help it. We can't destroy this world. ”

“I'm not saying you have to let her go. Just, what I want to say is, yeah. It's about the notion that you can persecute a minority for the benefit of a large number of people. I think the idea that some members claim is very dangerous, the idea that we can sacrifice 1 for 100 is the same as the logical rationale that we can sacrifice 100 million for 10 billion. We're going to end up sacrificing more than 100 million people in this way. ”

“This is different. The savior is not a pioneer. And there's only one savior in the world. There is no object to be sacrificed but her. ”

“What about the more than 100 million pioneers who have the potential to become Saviors? ”

At this moment, the tentacles of the floor hardened. He said very carefully.

“Mybi, you're an evolutionary? ”

“Yes, that's right. ”

The player who responded to the keyword released the information. Parvasse seemed to be seeing something similar.

Guantanamo was explaining. Evolutionists are also called ‘extreme pioneer fundamentalists’. Those who insist that pioneers should be allowed to go freely beyond the walls and become saviors.

Parvasse spoke to the two of us in his mind.

[If they neglect what they want, isn't there a good chance that another world will perish? It's against pioneer ideas and ethics.]

Maru talked to Maibi while also responding to his intentions.

‘Society's consultation on justice isn't always in everyone's favor, is it? That's the case with them. Claims are simple and not dangerous. We must not impose the constraints of what society should and should not do on pioneers. The right to do what you want to do, the right to evolve. Even if other races face the fate of destruction in return. ’

[Pioneer takes precedence over all races?]

The answer of the floor was mixed with the nuances of contempt.

‘That's it. Pioneer is the greatest race. Disgusting discriminators. On that subject, they think the situation is reverse discrimination. It does not prevent other factions from crossing the wall and becoming saviors, but it is thoroughly controlled internally by pioneers. ”

Maru said to Maibi, who pretended to be oblivious to his opponent while reluctantly contemptuous.

“Do you think the relatively minority pioneers are being sacrificed because of the other world races that are numerically dominant? ”

“Yes. It's an example number, but I think we need to look calmly at what 10 billion people are, and what 100 million people are. ”

“100 million pioneers are more important than 10 billion other species? So it's okay for pioneers to evolve and become saviors? No problem with another world being destroyed? That's a contradiction. So the savior of our world must also let this world go to ruin? ”

“It's not a contradiction. The savior is not a pioneer. ”

His answer was implicit. The Savior of this world is not from pioneers, so it is okay to be sacrificed as it is now.

“But it's sad that a pioneer is constrained by her needs. I wanted to tell you that story. ”

“· · · I'm sorry about the beginning, but mixing with you is going to be unpleasant. ”

“Our pioneers are being sacrificed because of the Commission. to save so many different races in the world. We control the superiority we have and we control evolution. Do you think this is justice? ”

“Yes, I think that's right. ”

“Yeah? Hmm. Shouldn't we stop the rest of the world from becoming savages? ”

“You know the answer and you ask. We don't have the power to control it. And pioneers are easier to cross than any other race in the world. If we don't control it, too many Saviors will be born. ”

“That's right. Momentum pioneers entered the modern age and became transcendents without one exception. The candidates for the Old Testament. ”

Maibi shed an unpleasant laugh.

“But then, I heard a strange rumor. You're not actually a transcendent, you can't cross walls in the future. ”

The floor constantly glances at the opponent's eyes. It seemed like Maivy was having fun.

“I've been watching you for a while, so I know for sure. Is that true? You're not a transcendent. ”

“· · · So? ”

The opponent throws a tug, a horse.

“If you haven't crossed a wall and you can't go forward, why should you admit yourself to being a people that resembles what we look like in medieval times? Our laws and the direction of the committee that judged you a pioneer were wrong. ”

A terribly intense shock shook us before the words fell.

Kukung!

The road of light trembled. The top and bottom are upside down. The space is distorted and fluctuating. Almost the moment we regained consciousness, we were in a completely different enclosure, not the space we had originally been in. It was similar in structure to Jeremy's room.

“They intercepted us in the middle! ”

The floor, which identified the situation, asked sharply.

“Where is this place? ”

Mybi replies casually.

“This is my room. ”

“Horace Child didn't send you in the first place. ”

“Absolutely.”

“Other pioneers will be here soon! You don't have to give me a leap permit, it's an emergency, so I'm coming through! ”

The blue light surrounding the floor's body resonated more violently than ever before, creating various patterns.

“You're sending a distress call. But it's not going to work. Because I'm firing a distraction signal. It'll take some time to find us. ”

“Huh! It's just going to take a while, so there's no way to find it! ”

The floorboard's voice stopped.

“· · · You, no way? ”

“When the other pioneers get here late, we won't be able to reverse what's already happened. ”

I thought as I listened to that. What the hell is Maivy trying to do by kidnapping us all the way here?

Time to slow the pioneers down for a while. What you can do in that short time. But the pioneers who arrived late were never going to be able to go back to the high civilization they had.

I realized the answer and trembled. No way!

The floor shouted.

“Do you know what you're trying to do, what jail is? This is infanticide!”

Maivy flinches.

“Of course he's the best in court. I will sleep forever with my ego frozen. But it's all right. I'm on my own. ”

“For what? ”

Me and Parvasse ran forward before they even heard it to the end. The opponent had to buy more time after the objective was clarified.

We both executed a way of telling in the temples. I couldn't use magic with this doll's body. In my case, it was also impossible to open the channel. However, there were tools mounted on each doll's body.

Charrrrrrrrrr!

A tiny hole is drilled in Parvasse's body covered in muscle. Blue light fades from all the holes. Beyond the energy barrier he formed, I also aimed a projectile at his fingertips. Damn it! This doll is highly durable because of its exploration, but its means of attack are crude and inferior (from pioneer standards).

Maivy laughed with a whiff.

“Do you know how many thousands of years pioneers committed violent crimes? The court where I stand will be a great stage. ”

The floor trembled and cried out.

“You crazy bastard! ”

He caused a storm with impulses in the air. However, Mybi did not compare to the floor even with the power he had in his gesture. He loosely lifts one tentacle and blocks the station.

“Rumor has it you were a real pioneer and I was just going to let you go. I can definitely kill him now. It's not a people, so there's nothing to kill. But most others think of you as their people. If you're a pioneer, it'll be a shocking event that no one can ignore. Thousands of years of violent crime, infanticide. You know, the trial in our world is open to all pioneers. They'll all be watching the trial in real time. I'll make my point in that court! In that perfect stage, where all the peoples of the world are watching!

“You bastard! ”

“We have to evolve! Become a savior, become a god! Just as carnivores eat other animals, the Savior must eat his soul. I can't keep stopping like this. You will be a trivial sacrifice for a great race of pioneers! After I hear my argument, I'll start thinking about the possibilities that other peoples have turned their backs on. It's going to be a small wave of social discourse. That little dig will gradually expand! ”

In the space, a storm of impulse created by the floor poured into a fierce atmosphere, but Mybi was thrown out with an elongated tentacle. Parvasse barely stopped the station, which was swamped by the force between the two, and I shot a bullet at Maibi, but the charter did not have any impact.

Mybi mutters, not avoiding the red light emanating from my fingertips.

“You're using your impulses strangely. Why not pour it all into the attack, assign some to protect the doll? ”

He laughed loudly while muttering like that.

“Aha. One of them has no soul. There's a connection to the spirit somewhere. Is that the man you were protecting? ”

“Shut up!"

“If you die, another pioneer will protect you. That the Savior cared about humans. ”

The floor screamed.

“I'll kill you with my hands! ”

Maibi whispered in a cheerful voice.

“Kill him.”

A strand of force emitted by a huge pioneer stretches in a different direction.

And my body collapsed.

“Hidden!”

The desperate screams of the floor resounded in space.

Beyond the faint gaze, I saw a floor that turned my eyes toward me. No! Don't look here. Look ahead! I tried desperately to spit, but it was useless.

No part of the doll's body listened to my control. I tried to move, but it felt like my mind was getting away from my body. I couldn't move a finger. A powerless body rises round in the room of gravity.

Damn it, what if it's the nucleus of the world! What's so weak! Suffering from God, being chased by the Savior, and now being unleashed by a pioneer you don't even know!

The anxious voice of the floor has become distant. They keep calling me. It led to Maivy's laughter. Charters are gradually deteriorating. Maru. Parvashe. I was angry with impatience. It was the rage that darkened before my eyes.
