The Little Prince in the Ossuary

00009 The Little Prince of the Charnel House

Following his guidance was a large tent that was intended to accommodate 24 people. I think it might be a trap. I look inside through the window first. The light was just one incandescent light bulb hanging in the middle. Eyes shaking anxiously in the dark. Eyes meet. I'm alert.

Strange. Nearly twice as many as the right people. It's a facility, but there should be enough tents. As soon as I questioned him, AI responded.

AI Tip (Insight grade 6): The more people you have, the safer you can be. It is most likely a single faction with weak power, or a group of people who are or are not affiliated with a weak faction.

Indeed, it is. The meaning was clear when I thought about it a little more. A powerful faction occupies one area, so there is no reason for a tent to crowd.

Winter followed the smoke.

I felt a slight tension. After he clapped his hands to gather attention, he introduced winter to people who were in a tight circle somewhere.

“Those of you who have worked together or heard the rumors already know, but everything comes in order. Let me introduce you. This is the gentleman in the middle of winter. Please give it up for me."

It was a really awkward introduction. It was weird to talk to her about someone much younger than you, and to ask her to applaud you at no event. But no one seemed to have time to point out that. It would be best for Yeon-cheol.

More than half of the members couldn't expect combat strength. Many of the children, mothers, and skinny women who are still unable to walk are interposed with patients and elderly people. These impressions are naive and intimidating. I don't have a strong man, so I'll be able to resist on my own.

After a clumsy applause sank, winter was recommended for a chair near the central fireplace. It was the most plausible seat, and if the rest didn't have folding chairs or anything else, I just sat on the bottom.

Winter said.

“I wonder why you called. ”

“Is that so?”

The look on his face was hard. The boy nodded.

“Aren't you asking me to stay with you? in fact, to protect it. ”

The answer did not come out immediately. But that alone was already positive. It is a silence caused by difficulty in speaking out, and if it were an injustice, he would have already said no.

“That's unfortunate.”

An old voice came out. An old man with dark mushrooms on his face. The wrinkles of time crumpled up. He sighs and lets go of the rest.

“Tragic. Shame. I don't want you to look at me and help me at my old age. I think I'm haunted. What is life...? I'd rather die like this. ”

“Sir, you can't say that. ”

He was embarrassed and dried out the old man. I was watching the boy.

“Something amazing happened when you came along. Eleven people were followed, including the Korean Patriot Council, and Winter caught up with them and called them all and threatened to send them back. There's nothing wrong with the rumors. You should not judge by age. ”

Then this time, I pleaded with the winter.

“Hey, were you offended? ”

“Not really. It's true that you're young. ”

In fact, if this were true, it would have been so. He was aware of the penalty for interacting with minors in the World View system. Reality is but virtual reality. There was no reason to be unpleasant. It's not the time to get angry on purpose.

On the other hand, their reaction will be that they think the boy is the most realistic. The AI configuration by reading the TOM was originally that way. TOM stands for the brain duct that determines a person's emotions.

Yeon-cheol carefully brought the matter to light, whether the words of winter were genuine or empty.

“I didn't mean to burden you. First of all, Winter's right. I want your help, because the people we're with have never been in any organization, and they're doing a lot of damage. If someone influential is representing us, I think we can be reborn as an organization……. I invited Mr. Winter while I was researching. ”

You said, "We." How many of them add up? ”

“About 79……. ”

Blurring the end of a horse is probably because there are fewer useful people for the scale. Those who are useless in difficult times are abandoned first. Being here was a solidarity of the outcasts.

Winter fixed the question.

“How many can fight? ”

Soon after he tried to answer, winter emphasized.

“Honestly.”

The short words were strong and overwhelming. This was necessary. When you need Leadership EXP after all. It can only be received in a position to lead the community.

I will review their proposal positively, but I can never hold a leadership position unless I am nice and gentle separately from them. Unilaterally exploited or betrayed It was a fact I was familiar with through the experience of multiple times. However, it is easy to be young and shallow. We can't just be gentle.

The boy was good at counting the minds of others. He may be talented, but it's because he's been looking after his family since he was a child...... and living knowing exactly what he's doing. With a personal feeling, AI is easier than a person.

If I escape with a lie right now and later find out, the winter heart will be gone. I was more likely to think it was better to tell the truth from the beginning. It was just like that. Smoke clears his throat.

“Seventeen… of them. ”

“Write it down.”

“ ……. ”

Due to the winter, which is said to be just a short cut, there was a depressing cold inside the tent, as if an early winter had come. He sighed and was silent for a long time. Then it's hard to reconnect.

“I know. With Mr. Winter, you could be treated well in any organization. But I still think it's because I feel uncomfortable seeing them alone, or because I don't like their behavior. If I'm right, help us. Please.”

“I find it hard to cover my tracks. ”

Push and pull negotiations. It's a shame to lose. Given the impression that this side is unwilling, it will be difficult to shout later. Existing organizations, after all, are highly immoral in the community. Successful entry makes me tired in many ways. There are battles and corruption in any organization, but I want to avoid it as much as possible. Some people actually enjoy it.

So no matter how good the conditions were, I did not intend to go. But even the weak have their own malice. There were sharp eyes everywhere that did not acknowledge the boy right now.

I need it now, so I can use it, but I'm just a kid after all. I'm more capable, so I'll be standing right there in a minute.

Or selfish eyes. I don't want to be in danger, so it doesn't matter to anyone. People who want to take responsibility whether they are young or not. For them, boys are good to use. Rather than showing off and profiting.

There is no law that says the weak heart must be good. Rather, because they are weak, they become evil in order to live. The oppressed are susceptible to persecution of the weaker. We have to survive now.

It is not just evidence that it is not good. Most people will be sorry and regret if things change. Perhaps this is proof that virtual reality, which is an entertaining imitation of reality, is just as elaborate.

I can't be sure because of my gross molar bones, but a college girl who wanted to be a student raised her hand. I was impressed by the look on my face.

“I don't just want unilateral help. If you stop the other group from getting violent, I'll do my best to follow any instructions I can. I'm gonna be a leader. ”

Deliver the unauthorized air. It's worth knowing the psychology of women. Winter reads the intention of looking at herself young and using her eyes. Although it is not an explicit intention, it is my unconscious influence, which I do not even know.

Starting with that, other people's words continued in a row.

“Honestly, I'm embarrassed that you're asking me to do something like this when you're not an adult yet. A kid like that got brave and became famous, and I wonder what he's doing. But in a situation like this, pride is nothing. I have to admit. You're better than a weak coward like me. What's the point of your age? There are a lot of grown-ups who can't take responsibility for themselves. ”

“I haven't had a good meal in a long time. I can't do anything I want to do anymore. Winter, give us a hand. If you eat well for a few days, you'll be strong enough to do anything. ”

“Yes, student. If you're going out for food again later, maybe you should just make your own people instead of leaving untrustworthy people behind. Even though our guy outside is old, he's a Marine. ”

“I'm starving. I can't even milk. I don't care if I die, but I want to save my child. ”

In this trunk, winter felt like a rock, rolling against my chest with a chin. It's heavy. Parents, parents. Now it's one of the boy's vices. Not just my parents, but my whole family.

I held up my hands with the spilling words, and winter looked at my wife holding the baby. My cheeks look old, my body looks so dull and dry. What it was supposed to look like. I can clearly see the costumes. I'm looking at you quietly.

“Where is your father? ”

“ ……. ”

Or hurt or dead. It was that much anticipated, but not true. The wife clasped her mouth with an unpleasant expression. First, the other wife who was carrying him replied instead.

“The birdhouse. ”

“Birdman?”

“I went to the 'Silence Promotion Society', but I saved a life by putting a woman there. ”

I've only experienced it once so far.

In addition, after hearing many sounds, winter rose from its seat.

“I'll consider your offer. It's hard to decide right now. ”

This is how you get lucky, and you present the carrots.

“Take this for now. ”

“Oh, this……. ”

What I gave you was a bunch of rationing charts I had in my arms. In addition to the small amount of spare money Lieutenant Capston personally had given him since before the delivery, he was rewarded by ten people for his outstanding results. On average, they gave five days' rationing sheets per person, which is fifty for ten people.

Everyone's expressions were enormous as they grabbed out a bunch of rations. Emergency faces. The hand that reaches out stops when it meets the eye. Sometimes people cried. Delivering food at the camp is more than a tremendous amount. It is more than a sip of thirsty person's water. It's not so strange that this one behavior could change the perception of a boy.

“I'll be at the rations as soon as I finish my dinner. I bumped into it on the way here, so it wouldn't be taken away from me in public. ”

Whoever comes to the rations station will, of course, have a rationing chart. So the place that was taken the most was also near the rations station.

This kind of consideration, i.e., emphasizing your ability to lead, significantly changes the psychological state of the early members of the community. It was the advantage of accepting it while riding.

Winter is desperate, but still leaves the tent with a scattering return.
