Kill the Dragon

‘But now the context of the case is clear. I didn't like it, but it was necessary. ’

Red Lieutenants and Colonel Tobias stare at the Yurgen tied to the bed.

“I'm sure the Commander is really mad. We survived under the madman. ”

Colonel Tobias sipped his coffee and said,

“Try not to speak. X.O.”

Red said irritably. Commander Jurgen is a man worthy of respect. We should not be trifled with.

‘The commander made his own sacrifice. I lost my mind and came into contact with countless Elu and xenivores. The problem was going too deep. ’

Commander Jurgen is not only Arc, but also a hero who has contributed to humanity as a whole. It's like saving as many lives as Oracle. It is not easy to live by carving out your own life and future. Nine out of ten choose to live a day longer than others, even if humanity perishes.

“It's clear that Commander Jurgen is mixed up with another spirit. But it's hard to say it's completely hostile. ”

Red said.

“Why aren't they the enemy? I think you've demonstrated enough hostility towards humanity. ”

Colonel Tobias is ready to expel the commander at any moment.

“If the Commander had wanted to antagonize humanity and destroy the arc, there would have been many ways. At least it doesn't seem like he's gone crazy all of a sudden. ”

“Are you trying to talk to him? ”

Colonel Tobias has not publicly named himself Commander.

“Commander's current combat abilities are not high. If you have a sicker or soldier to assist you, that's fine. I'll take it from here. ”

“Well, suit yourself. ”

Colonel Tobias delegated the rest to Sergeant Red. The colonel had to write a report to his home country. It was a pile of reports. There was a lot of information that would change the course of the war. Colonel Tobias walks into his office.

Lee walked on crutches with an uncomfortable body. The empty left arm still hasn't adapted. His right arm grew a little different skin color due to the rise of the new flesh.

"I'm glad I got one arm. ’

Lee thought positively. Even though I didn't feel like it, my heart was aching.

"Simon used to manipulate all his limbs with his mind. I could use an arm. I'm better at mind-control than Simon. How quickly you get used to it is important. ’

Even Simon, the master of the mind, took about a year to rehabilitate. Lee only replaced one arm with a prosthetic arm, but no matter how fast, it will take a month to get used to it.

“I'm sorry to call you that. But I need your advice. ”

Sergeant Red stands in the hallway smoking a cigarette. The fan is spinning just above you. There are designated places inside the sub where you can smoke. because without ventilation, the smoke doesn't go out.

“I know. What about Knut?”

I heard about Yihan Knut. I swooped into Commander Dacha-cha. He also injured soldiers. I deserved to be punished anyway.

“I volunteered to go to solitary. Looks like you need some time to think. ”

“I see…. ”

Knut deliberately avoided encountering Yihan. It seemed to be suffering from a terrible guilt. Lee fully understood the mind of such a Knut. Knut can't stand his own shame.

A cripple, a cripple.

Lee walked, grabbing the crutch. I could feel the gaze around me. I didn't look as attractive as before. Lee's innocence is almost proven. Favorable gaze was widespread.

‘Everyone was extremely sensitive. It was about to explode.’

Ironically, the atmosphere of the terranode changed as soon as the big incident broke out. The depression cleared up and I felt lively. They needed stimulation, whether they liked it or not. Living on a submarine for a long time was just as frustrating.

Red Lieutenants and Yihan enter the confined room. Afterwards, unarmed psychic soldiers followed. Everyone doesn't come in with a firearm. Even if the Urgents were controlling others, they could outmaneuver each other with their bare hands.

“Delicious.”

Yurgen was having a snack. I ate canned meat dipped in blunt plastic fork. It was clean as a normal person. The autistic matrix that you have shown so far has disappeared.

“Are you Commander Jurgen Teller? ”

Red said. Yurgen looks at Sergeant Red.

“Then who do you think I am? Deputy Chief of Staff Red. Alexander would have been a better talker. ”

Yurgen smiles. The smile creeped me out. It was a joke mixed with ridicule and hypocrisy.

“Step back for a moment. ”

Lee came forward, watching. He told Sergeant Red about the AP wave. New features are always important research.

Weeing.

Lee Han used the AP pulse on Yurgen. Soldiers around me cheered for him.

“Is this the great anti-psychic? Clearly no psychic activity. ”

Yurgen looks at his finger and says, He seemed fine.

“It's already physically affecting the brain. It doesn't matter what kind of psychic you are, you can't change it. ”

Lee Han sat down in a chair. I feel cold sweat dripping from my body. He rested for a while.

Yurgen squints and looks at her.

“Officer Ihan, you are the timber that can end the war. Admit it."

The surrounding bikers are on edge. It could end the war - the meaning of it was overwhelming. Everyone was tired of the hopeless war. Yurgen watches the reactions around him.

“… but can you really believe Silver's words straight away? What are the odds of that being a trap? A dragon is an enemy and trusts the word of a dragon. What if Silver is just a dragon with lust? What if we wanted to expel another hive and become the only one? What if we're using humans for that purpose? Or this could be it. Maybe he's trying to give us hope, take out the rest of humanity's forces, and then exterminate them. What were the chances that Lee Han, who thought he was hope, was just bait to catch a fish called humanity? ”

Sergeant Red shuts Yurgen up.

“Everyone but me and Yihan, get out. ”

Sergeant Red has ordered the surrounding bikers to leave. Yurgen can't use psychic abilities now anyway.

‘What's more intimidating than psychic. Might have a bad influence on the other bikers. ’

Most second-generation psychic soldiers are young. Most first- and second-graders who have not passed the reinforcement test. The duration of education is short, so there are more flaws than reinforcements mentally.

Yurgen rolls his eyes.

“A wise decision. Red.”

“Do you still think it's above our heads? Funny?”

Sergeant Red frowns. Yurgen wrinkles his mouth and laughs.

“Again, I, or we, are represented by Eurgen Teller. Be polite.”

“Ha, well said... ”

Sergeant Red trembles.

“It's been fun. I've also done my best to help you. It's no fun for everyone to die like this. ”

Yurgen smiles with his mouth closed. I was desperate not to fit in with the serious image of the Jurgen. That action angered Sergeant Red.

“Fun? Sounds like fun. Yes.”

Sergeant Red grabs Yurgen by the collar. His eyes turn red. Yurgen's clothing is burnt because of his firepower.

Sergeant Red barely calms down and takes a breath. In the meantime, Lee recovered somewhat and sat in front of Yurgen.

‘This is neither Eludo nor Commander Jurgen. Who the hell are you talking about? ’

Lee opened his eyes narrowly. Commander Jurgen's identity was nowhere to be found. There was chaos in that body that I didn't know who.

“Who are you? ”

Lee asked with a serious voice. Yurgen shakes his head.

“Me". What on earth is "we"? ”

“I'm done trying to answer questions. Why did you push me into this? In the meantime, they weren't as hostile to Arc as they were to Arc. ”

“Because it's no fun when the war is over. But you have a high chance of ending this war. ”

Yurgen had a transcendent insight. I internalized my experience of having to be reborn dozens of times as a normal human being through mental sensitivity. An enormous amount of knowledge, experience, and human perspective, as well as a diverse view of events from Elu and other minions. Has all the necessary conditions for insight. That was the secret that Commander Jurgen led the arc. He was a man with transcendent vision.

“You mentioned fun earlier. ”

“That's the only purpose of my life. I like Humans. It's my pleasure to see you running hard on the wheel of desire. ”

Yurgen observes the human like a mere hamster spinning a treadmill. Humans sometimes helped when they were exhausted and lost motivation. It had no purpose or value.

“Did you kill Jose? ”

Lee asked, omitting the middle deduction process. Lee met Omega-1 not long ago. His chances of killing Jose are far less than Arc's. Lee thought he knew somewhat about Omega-1.

‘The volatile behavior of the Jurgen so far. The purpose of promoting division among humans and sustaining war. If Jose's death is the cause of the conflict... it is likely what the current Jurgen has done. ’

I forgot about Lee Han's pain. My mouth was parched.

“What if I killed him? ”

“If so, I'll kill you right here. ”

Lee Han revealed his murder.

“Then let's pretend I didn't. Well, if you don't believe me, you can kill me right here. I was going to die at the hands of you or Knut anyway. ”

Yurgen appeared devastated by life. There was no instinct of self-preservation for life. In fact, I tried to die at the hands of Yihan and Knut.

‘If Knute or Yurgen had died by my hand, there would have been unresolved confusion by now. So you're just a monster enjoying the situation and the chaos. ’

While Lee was thinking, Sergeant Red slapped Lee on the shoulder.

“Go out for a while. I'll take it from here. You need to rest. ”

Lee Han left the room. He doesn't go to his room, but looks inside through the glass. Sergeant Jurgen and Sergeant Red look at each other. The story goes on and on. Yurgen taunts Sergeant Red like a tease.

“Reminds me of Oracle. Yeah, you're always guilty. I wish we had died together. ”

Yurgen said.

“Maybe. ”

Sergeant Red replied calmly. He no longer expressed anger. I tapped the table evenly with my fingers. I remained calm to the sound of the ringing.

“If it had been Chief of Staff Alexander, this wouldn't have happened to Arc. Unlike you. Deputy Chief of Staff, you're incapable. ”

“I admit, Chief Alexander, I've always underestimated him. Now that I think about it, Chief Alexander was a great hero. It's how we got the arc out of a world of shit anyway. ”

“Yes. When Alexander died, the fate of the Ark was already sealed. You have a lot of pride, so you can't ruin it. You may bend your pride and your convictions for others. You're nothing but a selfish man. ”

Sergeant Red realized something, as well as Lee, who was watching from the outside.

‘It's favorable for Alexander. ’

Eugene's remarks were filled with positives about Chief Alexander.

Perhaps the collapse of Eugene's mind triggered the death of Chief Alexander? ’

Chief of Staff Alexander was an agent of Jurgen. Sometimes it was the longest encounter when I was sober. Chief Alexander's presence would have supported the Jurgen mentally.

Lee didn't like Chief of Staff Alexander. He was a man of high standing. Sometimes I used a sicker or soldiers like long horses. He was also using the Omega Team.

‘But could Alexander have prevented the division of the Ark and the Citadel? ’

The fall of the arc was after Alexander's death. The artificial island was attacked and collapsed, and Alexander died on the way out.

‘Moving an organization is never easy. Even with the same goal, there is always conflict in groups. Alexander was a close knight in that conflict. ’

Lee thought clearly.

‘Yurgen is neither human nor Elu. It's just a chaos with a shell called a yurgen. ’

Sergeant Red is out of the room. He was tired, too.

“You're not leaving yet. Han.”

Looking at Lee Han, Sergeant Red said.

“Commander Jurgen died when Chief Alexander died. ”

Lee concluded first.

“This is our play. We thought Eugene Teller was superhuman. No matter how hard I tried, I thought I'd hold out and lead the arc. ”

Sergeant Red was bitter.

“Commander Jurgen was human after all. Mentally weakened.... ”

Yurgen finally made a deal with the monsters inside. He gave up on himself and chose fusion. Yurgen gave up on himself, knowing that many people would perish in return. Such indirect metaphors were mixed into the words of the Jurgen.

“But a leader must be superhuman. I have a duty not to show weakness. Officially announce to SPECTRE that the Commander is contaminated. Ihan, for official reasons, the Commander was neither insane nor a traitor. It was just Spectre taking over the body and ruining it. He lived a great life to the end. No matter how hard it is, I've never given up on the Arc and mankind. That's enough for people to remember. ”

As Sergeant Red said, the job is done.

The commander suffered a psychotic break due to Spectre's contamination. So I pushed Lee Han as a traitor. The commander, who has only driven out Spectre, is suffering from the sequelae. This was the end of an official incident known to other crew members. The big framework was no different from the truth, but the small difference was important.

Some suspect there may be more, but it ends with doubt. There were more important problems for them right now.

Yurgen is trapped in Terra Node's deepest chamber. I spent most of my time sleeping on medication. I tried psychiatric therapy, but it ended in vain. Senior executives who know the status of the Yurgen named him "The Devil."

There were two things that kept the Devil alive.

I was reluctant to kill a live Jurgen commander.

It's because Arc still needed the knowledge of the Devil.

A demon that fully integrates consciousness and memory knows more than the original Jurgen. Sometimes even fickle can help a human being.

This chapter ends here. The chapter is longer than I thought.

I was going to finish in 200 chapters, but I think I'm going to go a little over 200 chapters with one or two longer than I thought I would. I'm thinking 210 or 220 at the most. But we're still working hard to get it to 200.
