Blood-running eyes. A smug and trembling mouth. He was trembling with his hand holding the gun he pressed against his temples, and it didn't seem strange to Phantom whenever Antonio pulled the trigger.

"Hey, Antonio. Why don't you calm down a little? Doing that won't do anything. It's just that you die."

Henry, smiling slightly next to Antonio, said as he peered into Antonio.

"Henry... I..."

The critical sound of biting your teeth is picked up by the microphone and can also be heard in Phantom's ears.

"Antonio, what's going on!!

Olivia looking werewolf. Phantom quickly turned back to Olivia, giving her a small voice to ear.

"Yes... okay, but not in that case now -"

"It's now that we need it, Miss Olivia. If you don't hurry up, you'll be irrevocable."

When Phantom said so and pushed Olivia, he looked straight into Antonio's eyes as he was in pain and boredom.

"RS is not going to treat NASA badly. We can still land soft."

Phantom stepped up to the monitor to make sure he didn't miss everything.

"Mr. Antonio, if it's Jesus, I want you to shake your head vertically. If no, stay put. Now listen. Do you know who that Henry is?

Tranquility to visit. Antonio is just gawking and trembling because of the same. But Phantom saw Antonio's neck muscles tense.

"Okay. That's fine. Come on, tell me. Who the hell is that?

"You don't have to think about anything extra, Antonio. I'll take over later. You should relax and take a break."

Henry speaks to Antonio in a gracious voice so that he can cover himself in Phantom's voice. Antonio looked at Henry with his blood-running eyes and distorted his expression sadly.

"You... are not God..."

Antonio's index finger moves and starts squeezing the trigger.

"Whoa, dude, dude Antonio. There's no point in that action. You could die, but I'm not."

Henry, who at some point had turned off his grin, said, trying to poke Antonio in the face. The words are clearly infuriating.

"Antonio! You might be able to save a lot of people!

"Come on, put the gun down, Antonio. God expects you."

Antonio's eyes come and go with Henry and Phantom, and eventually they are shut all the time. And when it opened up again, my gaze was straight at Phantom.

"You don't have to speak up. Understandable with lip movements"

That's what Phantom gave back to Antonio, who is desperate to complain about something. Eventually, when Antonio moves his trembling lips, he slowly spins the soundless words.

"... wah... yes... oh my god"

Phantom reading Antonio's mouth and flashing at the words.

And the next moment, a gunshot sounded from across the monitor.

"............ Hmm. It's hard to be human."

Beyond the monitor where the bloodbath broke, Henry said so boringly. I didn't see any stains on his clothes, even though he would have blood all over his body if it were meant to be.

"Wynd............ he said Wynd. Are you their AI?

Very incredible, Phantom asks with a stunned look. But Henry stared at his own hand, as if to ignore it.

(Noise...... is about to disappear?

Henry's hand moving to the monitor was shaking unclearly as if it had taken a mosaic.

"It's time to start over again... what the hell did this guy want? It's ridiculous. Suicide. Waste of time. Meaningless behavior."

Henry's gaze as if he despised looking down on Antonio.

"... not really."

Phantom groans in a blurry, daring tone that made him contain. Then, as expected, Henry turned to the camera.

"You want to know? the meaning of his actions. Then why don't we talk a little bit?"

That's what Phantom suggested if we could extract any information at all, but Henry's answer was no.

"I don't need it. I hear it directly from your brain."

Henry in the way he said it was really crap. When Phantom remembered the end of Coleman, his former boss, he flaunted his shoulder that way of dying was something he wanted to beg for.

"Right. But unfortunately, I guess that's not possible. My BISHOP is a little special and I can turn it on and off easily. The storage area (storage) is also much smaller than the average...... but is it? Wind."

……………………

"There were few but many things to gain. Excellent. Especially when I find out you're not a big head. Ask my brain directly? How much information do you think you can get from that one? You should say it in your mouth. You're an idiot."

Phantom erased his emotions from his gaze so that it would happen whenever he killed someone.

"BISHOP is an interface to the brain. I mean, it's just a passage. More than just multiple people can observe at the same time, the brain isn't the only one you exist. You're on top of Antonio's brain and the central network. I didn't think you really had that kind of wind... but can you manipulate people?

Rather than reacting to Phantom's words, Henry looks up there somewhere as if he noticed something he can't see. And when he opened his eyes to his surprise, he was clearly upset, moving his gaze around in a frightened manner.

"You're not going anywhere, are you? Olivia seems to have made it."

"What..."

"I had my men shut down the network equipment and its data bank. It's forced access from the outside, so it'll be restored soon, but hopefully Antonio's brain will have it by then, Henry. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'll teach you the meaning of Antonio's actions."

Phantom honored Antonio's good fight in his heart, he said.

"Fuck you, motherfucker."

It's like throwing up. Henry jumped to the camera when he raised a golden voice that he didn't think he could put out to humans.

But before it arrived, he vanished without a trace.

"What was it after all, that bastard?"

After a strange meeting with Antonio. Phantom, who was immersed in the thought of sitting in his chair, nodded softly as he noticed Hogan's voice.

"It would have been an old SF movie, wouldn't it? The ghosts on the network were bad for people............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................. AI on a sufficiently evolved network. I was wondering if the Empire was involved, but I don't think so."

When Phantom said so and shook his head, he stared at the NASA humans running around him. Sure, Antonio's death caused confusion, but compared to the confusion that would have happened with other factors, it was no big deal. From those who do not know, there is a great deal to see as suicide on mental confusion.

Olivia was currently negotiating with the rebels, and that was likely to produce good results. Most of the rebels were just following the orders of Antonio, their superior officer, and it was the end of the day when some didn't even know the fact that they were rebelling in the first place.

"The ghost, you already killed him, didn't you?

Hogan sat down next to him and started taking care of his favorite knife.

"Kill, or... well, the guy who was there. But, Hogan. If he's data, he should be able to make as many copies as he wants. Aren't you still looking for your next chance somewhere?

When Phantom said so, Hogan began to glance around the perimeter slightly in a calm manner.

"The bulkhead is blocking information, too. I don't want to go in and do this now... but I wonder what happened. Do we still have to pick it up from the top?

"Are you the presidents? You're going to try that for now. My guys are on the bulkhead unlock right now, but they say it's going to take a lot of time. As soon as the president is here, I guess."

"Because the president's array is unusual...... even a small hole somewhere to put the cable through there. As long as we have access to the locking system, can the president unlock it from there?

"Nice. Do you want to make arrangements now?"

"Oh, please. There's got to be an excavator on the base, so you can use that right away. And I need a sonar comm for contact."

When Phantom stood up, he turned to Hogan himself to help him with something. But to my thoughts, he stopped moving perfectly as he looked at Hogan's face.

".................. not good"

"... you have my face? You don't have to tell me."

"I'm not going to say anything more about your face now. It's not, it's his aim. I thought it was all about free access to the neural net... but that's probably not fate. The next best way."

"Isn't that what it's all about? That doesn't make sense anymore, does it?

Phantom checked the clock and tongued in frustration.

"It's not. I'm pretty sure the top is the purpose. The problem is the means. Beyond the blockade of the underground city, the presidents who have slipped up have no choice but to head directly to Ladderbase. If we track it down, they'll be able to accomplish their purpose... and the people who rescue them from the top have already set off, right?

"Yes, it should............ no way are they going to take in the base!?

"At least that's how the wind up there has evolved...... Hogan, we're going back to base with our spare equipment. I guess there's just enough room for people to get in and out, huh?

"Uh, yeah. Quite apart, yes, but Philip's bastard is finding his way up...... but, Captain, there's one thing I don't know about myself. Why didn't that bastard possess the Rising Sun staff? That would be one shot at the base position, right?

To Hogan's doubts, Phantom shook his head just to think about it for a second.

"It's been 400 years since these people pulled the cage, right? How much do you think the BISHOP version has changed? Except for the underlying structure, it's almost a different level. We're in a hurry. I'll probably do everything in my power to sneak you in... damn it, I'm the same dumb ass"

When Phantom took one bad turn, he ran as hard as he could. He had hope that he would be able to rendezvous with the president on his way back, but given the eternal sandstorms surrounding the planet, it was quite hopeless.
