Kill the Dragon

00151 # 24 Business Travel

Lee came out to get some air on his own and encountered a familiar group in the Citadel hallway. Former Omega Squad. Their leader, Omega-1, was not here. The Omega Squad looks at this and talks amongst themselves. They glanced at him with their contemptuous eyes.

“You're walking around without a psychoframe. You still think this is Arc? This is the Citadel, Alpha. ”

The sarcasm is sarcasm. It's an obvious provocation.

‘Hostility…. ’

Lee felt that they hated him. There was emotional malice in the speech.

‘They hate me. ’

The Omega crew has long laid the foundation of the Citadel. I fought for the Citadel and the Cyclists. I've crossed the line several times.

‘Now you don't like me in the middle. ’

The Omega crew does not want Ihan to settle in the center of the Citadel. It was tolerated by their master, Omega-1.

“I don't want to argue. ”

Lee was reluctant. The Omega crewmen clasp their arms and warn Yihan.

“You may have been a psychoframe and squad leader, but now you're just a common sicker. Don't misunderstand your position. ”

Lee opened his eyes sharply. The cruel atmosphere surrounds me. Yihan clenched his fist.

“Sure.” Ihan crosses between the Omega crew.

Puck!

The Omega crewmates deliberately twisted their shoulders and slammed into him. Lee was staggering and grabbing his shoulder. The Omega crew passes by with a killer smile. Lee Han read the distorted desire in their eyes.

‘They are afraid of me. ’

Yihan mutters. If you're sure you have a real advantage, don't act like this. They're afraid they'll lose their position. I was reluctant to share the power I had accumulated in the Citadel with Yihan.

Omega-1 is unusual, which is how many times you twist your mind and treat Lee.

‘You don't have to stop them. These fights don't matter to me. ’

Lee wiped his shoulders. The laughter of the Omega crew fades away.

“I think it's best if you just let me win. ”

Lee smiled lightly.

Lee observed the power map of the Citadel. Commander Kuro was absolute. There is no argument there. In fact, it is the only power that can be counteracted by Bahamian dragons. Under it is Deputy Commander Omega-1. After all, he is a talented person in charge of Citadel operations and administration. Factors one and two proved themselves with strength and ability.

‘Omega-1 doesn't even have a real name. Everyone calls me Deputy Commander. ’

Under Factors 1 and 2 there are consolidated diseases. Twenty psychoframe reinforcements came to the Citadel. From the arc's point of view, it's a deadly power outage. Some of them have faces and faces.

‘The strength of these reinforcements is important. ’

Reinforced Soldiers are the center of a real faction. Psychoframe cannot produce itself in the Citadel. The strength of the irreplaceable will lead to power.

‘The Omega crew is the strongest among the reinforcements. You're like the deputy commander's squad. That's why you're antagonizing me. It's simple psychology.'

The Omega crew in the third place felt a lot of hostility towards Lee Han. Lee was treated well by the 1st and 2nd, and he brought Silence to his side. It made me feel anxious that Lee would become the third factor.

‘Moreover, my network is not bad among the reinforcements. ’

Reinforcements from Arc know this well. Alpha Squad Leader Lee Han was considered to be the best Squad Leader. Lee did not have a friendly relationship with the other reinforcements, because he was not a lover. But there will be no hard feelings.

Spatula.

Lee moved the pencil. I drew a power map through the mind map.

‘Commander Kuro, Deputy Commander Omega-1, and Group 3 are members of the Omega. ’

Omega-1 and Yihan have a subtle relationship. Both need each other.

‘The Omega crew has a hostile relationship with me. Omega-1 may not intervene. You think it's the right kind of reinforcement. ’

Lee looked carefully at the items of the reinforcements and psychic soldiers.

‘Flexible forces are reinforcements and psychic soldiers. It's important to please them. ’

My mind was clear.

Lee intentionally wandered around Citadel a lot. I went as far as I could to meet as many people. Sometimes I went to other places. Living conditions were poor except for Sitadell Zones 1 and 2. Shelters in barren environments.

‘I can't help it now. Is this differential distribution necessary...? ’

I don't share my essentials equally with everyone. I can't afford it. So I supplied necessities in order to contribute to the Citadel.

‘Korea used to be like this. ’

Lee Han tasted it. I have to watch what I've been through before. Besides, it's a hell of a lot more than it used to be. People wanted to be protected inside the Citadel, even with this rescue. Extremely, people in other districts were voluntary slaves.

“Hahn, you're alive. That's amazing.”

A few arc reinforcements wave at you. They were those who had not seen their faces until now because of the time slippage.

Pike, Lee, Trejo. ’

Lee let out their names one by one. I was lucky to have good memory.

“You've all come to the Citadel. Nice to meet you. I didn't expect to see you alive. ”

Lee shakes hands with them. Trejo shrugs and scratches his face. Half the skin on your face was different, whether your helmet flew away during combat.

“Well, it was bad at the time... We didn't all leave the arc behind. We're an independent organization. You don't belong in any country, do you? Arc broke neutrality first. ”

“It was great when two teams were wiped out to save the great president of the United States. In return, Arc received a nuclear submarine. They sent him away, knowing he was going to die. Those bastards.”

Trejo and Lee vomit a furious horse. They have a hatred for the arc.

‘I'm sure Arc would have acted by calculating gains and losses…. ’

Lee did not provoke their anger. I nodded my head in harmony.

“It's good to see you. Things aren't going well... but we'll figure something out. And Kuro. ”

The reinforcements did not call Kuro a commander in private. To them, Kuro was a colleague before he was a commander. They had a strong sense of companion and bond. Everyone thinks it's an Arc reinforcement, even if it's separated from an arc.

Lee had rehabilitated in the Citadel until his body recovered. At some point, he felt the eyes of the soldiers. It was a bad look. After Lee Han passed, they murmured amongst themselves.

“You said you were friendly with the Commander. ”

“Originally an arc, they say you're here to survive. ”

“Is he really helping our Citadel? We don't have a good relationship with the X.O. Are you holding out tight? ”

“What if we used to fight well? There's no psychoframe now. ”

“If we'd gotten to the arc a little sooner, we'd be reinforcements. ”

There was a gossip about Lee Han. Negative assessments came from the mouths of psychic soldiers. They were mostly second-graders, or first graders who had been physically reinforced by the election.

The soldiers initially admired Lee Han, but gradually the gaze changed. Lee had no visible contribution, and the bad relationship with the trusted Omega crew was also part of the bias.

‘Few people are friendly to me. There are a lot more unfriendly people. I'm a minority in the Citadel. ’

Lee felt that way. You don't listen directly, but you can clearly see what the soldiers are saying.

‘Rumor has it I'm up against Omega-1. Some people leave because they don't like Arc, but some people don't like Omega-1. That kind of thing is in my favor. ’

Lee went crazy thinking there. He reads the thoughts of Omega-1. This was Omega-1's waterworks and media play.

‘This is Thinning. He's using me to round up the minorities. My presence makes it easier to control the scattered minority. If you can't pull it out, you want to keep it in plain sight. Smart. Omega-1. ’

Lee Han smiled. Omega-1 was much smarter than he thought. He knew the concept of politics and control better than this. Omega-1 was not as intelligent as the other reinforcements.

‘In this situation, I will never become a multitude. As far as rumors and biases go, I have to file a prime number. Omega-1 raises me to the extent that it does not threaten its second-order sexuality. ’

Lee looked at the soldiers who were staring at him. The back story was not offensive. I could clearly see why it was in English. They're just words and puppets.

"That's funny. This is proof that we're human, too. No matter how disagreeing we get, we just get separated again. ’

The arc, which united humanity's capabilities, was divided. We can never unite the Citadel from that rift. Inside, there was a lot of complaints, and the complaint was expressed as an omen. Even if this hadn't happened, complaints would have accumulated.

Humans can never be united. Lee had now acknowledged that.

‘I'm just trying my best. You don't have to be frustrated that you're not perfect. ’

It doesn't have to be perfect. Humans are not perfect. Lee thoroughly realized that. Humans are reasonably vain and foolish. You have to admit it first. There is no reason to be frustrated that humans are neither virtuous nor perfect. It is because I was not such a virtuous being in the first place. I'm just trying to be a better person.

“All right, let's secure the psychoframe first. ”

Lee stood up on the bench. Recognition in the Citadel requires performance and strength. Not enough to bring Silence in. Visible performance is required

He walks aloud to Silence's chamber. Silence was in the room because of the fatigue.

‘Silence said it would take a long time to recover to his full state. He's hurt real bad. ’

Knock, knock.

Lee knocked on Silence's visit. You hear a furious sound moving inside. I heard something fall. The door opened more than a minute later.

“What did you do?”

- Meditation.

“Really? Can I come in? ”

Silence nods. You are wearing a skull mask covering your head instead of a helmet. Silence is famous in the Citadel because of its unique appearance. Above all, combat skills are famous among other soldiers. He was not in optimal condition, but there was no one to beat him in bare hands and arms fights.

Silence is wearing a black training suit. Even hands and feet have no exposure to gloves and socks. It was close to self-care. Did not thoroughly disclose information about myself

‘There must be a reason. ’

Lee decided not to dig up Silence's face a long time ago. It's the same now. I don't intend to force Silence to reveal himself.
