Kill the Dragon

“Hnng.”

Sergeant Red looked at Lee as if he was wearing equipment like a poop dog. Maybe Lee had a way out of the arc at the same time. I even heard that thought.

Lee Han skillfully walked out of the alley. You slip into a blind spot with a surveillance camera. It was a natural move. It wasn't a strange move for anyone to see.

I checked it every morning. ’

Lee prepared everything meticulously. Do not be optimistic that the worst is not going to happen. He always assumed the worst.

“Hahn, you will survive under any circumstance. ”

Red said, admiring honestly. Sergeant Red, who has lived here for over a decade, has not thought of this. It can only be done by someone who is observant and patient.

“That's a strange face. ”

Lee hid himself on the wall. He said, looking at the man in the uniform across the street. The agitated combatants quickly find a stranger because they know his face.

“I'm with the Intelligence Service. ”

“Informant?”

“According to the Omega team, he's an intelligence operative. You guys usually have nothing to see. It's an informal job. ”

“I understand the feeling. I'll take care of it.”

Lee Han slowly went forward. You press down on the hat deeply and walk as if you were touching the agent behind you. He puts his hand to the agent's neck and lights it up.

Parker.

The agent stumbles and falls. Lee quickly put him in the nearby trash.

“Isn't that dangerous? ”

Red said, looking at Lee's lightning.

“I'm not going to die. Maybe…."

Lee didn't care much. I managed not to die. I thought it was okay for the target to have a minor impairment.

‘I've decided to help Sergeant. We don't mess with what we've already decided. ’

Lee did not live correctly, even in empty words. I have enough cruelty and cold to live in this world.

‘It's hard just to protect the people around me. I can't afford to care about anyone anymore.... ’

I have been under a lot of mental pressure. Battle with dragons, relationships with arcs. The future. All that weight weighed my shoulders down. Stress levels rose without revealing them. My mind was more relaxed than in the first and second grade. Only because it has grown that much, it only survives confidently.

“I'm getting Oracle out of the arc. ”

Red told me his purpose. Lee was not surprised. I just dared to nod my head.

“There are guards near Oracle. How do you plan on getting him out of here? ”

“Psychoframe and Black Crow. ”

“What about Black Crow, even if you still have the psychoframe? ”

“I have a pilot who will help me. On the surface, it looks like I'm blackmailing you and forcing you to control it. ”

Sergeant Red has a thick network of soldiers. Soldiers' brotherhood often goes above and beyond. Especially with an army as old as the Arc.

“I'll only work with you into the Hangar. ”

Lee said, you must not leave any evidence that Lee helped Sergeant Red. That line leads to the hangar. Arc doesn't poke and provoke me just because I don't have proof. This position has been up there for some time. Red, on the other hand, who had influence on the arc, is just a psychic soldier. Generation 1 is a castaway.

“... I'm not very good at saying this, but thank you. Hahn. I don't know what interests you, but it wasn't that bad. ”

Sergeant Red did not ask for any conditions to make Lee move. There's nothing good in sharing more secrets in a situation like this.

“You're welcome. ”

Lee said decisively. He likes Sergeant Red. I hated him once, but only a few adults know him as a human being. Sergeant Red has been honest with Ihan.

‘This is the last time. ’

Lee Han felt a cold feeling.

We're getting close to the hangar. Hangar 4, with Red Corporal's psychoframe, is open. Inspire Smith to leave it open.

Lee looked at Sergeant Hillclear Red. He had one question.

"Why is Oracle so desperate to escape with Sergeant Red? ’

Lee did not conform to Oracle's personality, but only one knows. She really likes Sergeant Red. It may be a devoted love, or it may be a selfish obsession and ownership. Lee did not even understand the kind of love. The love he knows is not his own, but devotion. I did not realize the secular desire to possess the mind and body of reason.

“Just help me equip it. ”

Red looks at his psychoframe and says, first generation psychoframes are crude. It doesn't require that much skill, but it still takes a long time to wear it alone.

“There are surveillance cameras inside. ”

“That can be solved. ”

Sergeant Red manipulated the camera footage. You send the hangar screen to the pile with no one there. Unpopular places, such as private rooms or hangars, are easy to manipulate.

“Are you sure? ”

Lee got the answer to the end. I don't want any evidence left to help.

“No problem. It's rigged with administrative handsets. ”

Red said as he stepped inside the psychoframe. Lee put screws in the psychoframe with a clumsy hand gesture. Red Lt. Col. fit the touches together like a hand.

“Administrative handset? ”

Lee showed great interest. It is clear that you have considerable authority to manipulate surveillance cameras. The handset that Sergeant Red took out was usually bigger and more clumsy than the handset.

“There's no point in coveting. If the pile gets caught, this will be blocked as well. ”

“Sergeant, you had some supplies just in case. ”

Despite Lee's indifference, Sergeant Red was deeply embarrassed.

"Just in case"? ’

I've never thought about it. Maybe he thought this would happen subconsciously.

“I wouldn't blame you, either. ”

Sergeant Red mutters.

“Do you have any last advice for me? ”

“You already have more experience subjugating dragons than I do. Let's just say... don't give up until the end. It's not just fundamentalism. This fucking psychic energy we have is heavily affected by our minds. As long as we have the only way to defeat the dragon, when our minds collapse, our chances of that moment are zero. ”

“I understand enough. which you've been emphasizing since you were an instructor. ”

“Hmm, … and don't kill your emotions too much. Hmph. No one blames you for often showing imperfect human beings who aren't fully soldiers. No one here has any right to blame you. ”

“The one who taught you so harshly, isn't he? I reject that. Not only the world, but even here, when I look incomplete and human, there are too many people poking and prodding. I know it better than anyone to be eaten at a glance. My friends can't handle it. Only I can overcome it. I'll get it all out of my way. ”

Lee had revealed his feelings for a long time. His pupils glow as if trembling.

“If you believe it's right, so be it. But it's not a commander, it's like a brother or a parent. ”

“That's what Simon said. I like this. It's just that someone who doesn't do it my way leaves. ”

Sergeant Red said no more. Although he was worried about this method, Lee was gaining respect from his peers. That's good enough.

“Copy that, Hahn. I hope for the future. ”

“Good night, Sergeant. Sergeant John Red. ”

Lee Han bowed down.

Kieing, Red's psychoframe takes a heavy step.

Red Sergeant and Oracle have escaped. The news spread quickly. The unexpected arc is silent. There was a cluttered commotion among the soldiers only. Although there are rumors implicitly that some soldiers helped Red escape, the top of the arc has not yet been eliminated. Only a handful of soldiers were sent to solitary confinement and sealing, including the Black Crow pilot, who is suspected of disciplinary violations.

‘You don't have to be so grumpy. ’

It was Chief of Staff Alexander's decision.

Though he was wary of Red's actions, he did not expect even the Chief of Staff to take this bold action. Sergeant Red has been the most loyal soldier of all time.

I've entrusted the search for Red and Oracle to an outside agency. But it's hard to find.

“Psychoframe and Black Crow have been recovered, but there's no sign of Sergeant Red, either. ”

Alexander hears the report. Red Lieutenants and Oracle remain silent. Long-term predictive capability is an ability useful for avoiding traces.

“We're down to one card. ”

Alexander said quietly. The reporting officer nods.

“Should we find more conspirators? ”

“No, thank you. You must be inspired by Smith. How many people can make a disposable psychoframe readily available? ”

Smith is one of the key figures in the second generation of psychoframe production. It is not a good idea to mess with important times like this and disrupt the plan. Alexander thought of a number of cases. He is Arc's chief of staff with immense power, but he has less to do than he thinks. Every decision must be made carefully in all interests. I'm not in a position to act emotionally.

I can't believe Sergeant Red is moving. I don't know about boys and girls. ’

Chief of Staff Alexander leans against the back of the chair. He gestures and sends the executives away. I couldn't sleep for two days. It's time to get some sleep.

Immediately after entering the restaurant, Lee felt a cluttered atmosphere. Sergeant Red's actions were controversial.

“You're crazy. Just for a little bitch. ”

“What's a war hero? A traitor.”

Some gossiped about Sergeant Red. That's why I'm ready to fight. Red Lieutenants and those who were close to Oracle look fierce.

“The atmosphere is not good. ”

Knut, who brought the food, said. Lee Han nodded.

“What do you think? ”

Lee asked Knut. Knut closes his eyes for a moment and thinks back.

“I don't think that's a good idea either. Looks like the guy who trained us like that ran away from the war. You don't have two mouths to say. Isn't that right?"

Lee Han nodded his head.

“Well, yeah. ”

“You were close to Sergeant Red. Aren't you disappointed?”

“I don't know. He's gone. ”

Lee stopped talking. The bureau doesn't seem to notice that he had anything to do with Sergeant Red's escape. Lee went back to his private room after finishing eating.

‘Maybe this is it. ’

Lee thought to himself. Lee didn't risk everything for Red.

‘If there were no conditions, would I have acted for Sergeant? ’

Lee didn't even have an answer for himself. Assumptions are meaningless.

“File.”

Lee Han turned off the handset network. Data was transferred by inserting USB while offline.

‘Oracle said the information I wanted would be in here. ’

The data was hanging on the firewall. It was open after a certain time. Data was available from today.

“Haha.”

Lee Han burst a smile lightly. The files that I opened with great expectations were completely different.

[I'm sorry. Forgive me. Red would be dead if I hadn't done this.]

Lee Han smiled more hollow than anger. Maybe I thought it would be like this.

“You got it right. ”

Lee focused on the sentence behind him rather than cursing at Oracle.

If I hadn't done what I did, would Red be dead? ’

Lee turned his head and looked up at the ceiling. I thought about what that meant for a long time. Oracle sees the future. I don't know what the method is. No one shares her vision. Even Kuro with similar psychic abilities is completely different from Oracle.
