EP.264 An imaginary bullet
Why is Sieghrund from a foreign country loyal to the military?
Do you like this country? Anyone who says such deceitful things is either a scammer or there is a public security guard next to them. People who used to live in the kingdom said that they liked this country where they looked like relatively fairies, had no mysteries, and had no entertainment.
for a lot of money? This crazy country has an extreme structure in which even the strongest, Jang Jang-seong, cannot live while staggering. It is a very honest country that is more like an obelisk structure than a pyramid where the top 1% owns 1% of the wealth. Most of the funds are operated directly by the military, and even if they pour money to make weapons, they give personal property to a small amount. It also contributes to the fact that there is no place to write even if you collect it.
There was only one reason why Sieghrund was loyal to such a damn country.
Because ‘she’ found him.
I didn’t read the ‘her’ in his memory myself, so I didn’t know it well, but I found Sieghrund who hid his identity.
After a long life of escape, Sieghurund, who had lost his original self and what he was like, made himself an anchor by using her as an anchor for himself.
she is special But it’s not unique.
Because I can recognize him too.
“Before and now. It’s the same decorated face, right? Even this one adds up. Earlier it was at least a human face, but now it’s like a statue that I threw away because I was too lazy to make it. Is it okay to have that as you?”
“…Are you okay? i am me what do you know?”
“I don’t know, so I’m asking you to tell me. Your real face… or who you really are.”
really. When the word came out, Sieghrund showed an inorganic expression. Rather than deliberately making it up to pretend composure, it looked like a preparation posture that gave a lot of energy before making something up.
“Is who I am that important? I’m Sieghurund of Growth Star, and shape-changing is my strong specialty. does that mean me I don’t need any other characteristics to set me apart.”
“What do you mean? Who doesn’t know that you are you here? I’m asking because of my qualifications, not my characteristics.”
Fearing that he might lose himself, Sieghrund used ‘she’ who recognized him as his anchor and worked for her.
So, what should I do to shake him? Of course you have to remove the anchor.
“I listen to people’s wishes and act on them. It is different from the Prophet. They see a future with an answer and change the situation, but I get what they want in a given situation.”
“I don’t know what the difference is. They look the same to me.”
“It is different. Because their wishes are real. real life. It was the desire of those who lived fiercely without the need to doubt whether it was real or fake because it was the only one given from birth. I have granted that wish.”
really. FALSE. really. Sieghrund, a born actor, did not show off, but as a mind reader, I read the emotions that flinched every time I mentioned the real and the fake.
The anchor is a bit light. It shakes every time you touch it. Will this be fixed?
“But you are only following the orders of the military with the identity you created for your face. Is this the real you you found?”
“You…”
I grabbed the anchor in his heart and pulled it out with a smile.
“It’s just a tool, right? Do you think they use the word life even for tools these days?”
“…A trivial provocation. It looks like you’ve run out of things to say, right?”
‘It’s a provocation. don’t get hung up on here You read the wind? That too would be a kind of prophecy. I have to use Shiati and Historia’s hatred and suspicion to corner him.’
He has no doubts about my abilities. The country that has reached the deepest part of the military does not easily dismiss all of this as a coincidence or luck. They are suspicious of everything, vigilant, and dig into even the smallest things. It’s probably a personality that was created thanks to being chased for a long time.
But his doubts were so great that he had complete confidence in my abilities.
“Did I tell you? I read the wind.”
“…what?”
“You want to get back what you lost. But why are you doing that?”
The anchor of existence is not a harbor. He is nothing more than a shipwrecked shipwreck in the open sea.
That is to say, even the ego of Sieghrund is actually only a fabrication.
“The more you play the role of Sieghrund, the farther away you are from your original self, right? bogus mission. fake life. fake face. It’s just that you’re faithful to your role as Sieghrund until you reach your goal as a breeder, but it’s not your own wish. What the hell… Leah! watch over me!”
Needless to say Katabuta. At that moment, Sieghurund, whose existence was threatened, kicked off the ground and ran towards me.
no reason. It is just and natural to resist when someone tries to stab you with a knife. Sieghrund tried to protect himself by rejecting me, who was attacking his ego.
But in front of me is Historia.
“Leave it…!”
Historia, who had not relaxed her tension, reacted in time. Worried that I would get hurt in the aftermath of the fight, she took two steps forward and confronted Sieghrund. Firmly fixing one leg, he released a kick that seemed to snatch Sieghurund away.
Aaaaaaang.
It was a near-disaster collision. An explosion was heard and the broken floor bounced in all directions. Historia’s pore blaster has a repulsive property.
A kind of qigong that is tricky to handle but easy to write roughly. Historia sprinkled it generously. The collision of two giant planets with enormous pores produced a similar result to the collision of rubber balls rolling opposite each other. The two slid across the ground, moving away from each other like a mirror.
“day off! be careful!”
Realizing his goal in a single clash, Historia shouted.
“He’s after you!”
Right after that, Sieghrund charged again. Directly towards me, not Historia.
Without even thinking about hiding their intentions, they aim for me straight away. Historia, who hurriedly ran in, blocked his way and pulled both arms.
Explosive blast.
A bluish pore pushed everything away. An explosion used by Historia, who is a high-ranking breeder in terms of air volume. Even Sieghrund couldn’t block it head-on. He rocked back and forth instead.
The basis of jujutsu is letting go. Instead of going against the flow, he digs into gaps. Like a boat that won’t budge even in the face of a headwind, he proceeded calmly, step by step.
‘He is also a master of combat. I don’t know if I’ll win or lose in a fight, but I can’t protect Huey.’
Historia, who grasped the opponent’s status, looked at me urgently and shouted.
“Flee to safety!”
“okay!”
I nodded and clung to Historia’s back. Historia was taken aback by the sudden contact.
“What are you doing?!”
“The only safe place here is behind your back. Please take good care of me.”
“Dangerous! The aftermath of qigong cannot be ignored!”
“Being caught up in the aftermath is better than dying. Wow! In front of Leah!”
A hand reached out between Historia’s armpits. The moment His long fingers were about to snatch the hem of my clothes, Historia noticed it and wrapped her right arm around Sieghrund’s arm.
At that moment, Sieghrund burrowed into Historia as if sliding. By sinking his knees deep and bending his arms, Sieghurund shook Historia’s center of gravity at once.
‘Jujutsu?! Dangerous. The lower part was stolen…!’
Among the weak, it is said that it is more advantageous to occupy the upper part. This is because it can add weight to the force.
It is the opposite for those who have mastered qigong. Weight alone doesn’t help much. Since the pushing force through Qigong is stronger than the pulling force, if the lower part is taken away, the foot will come off the ground. If so, it’s nonjujugongsan.
‘Dangerous…!’
Not to mention, Historia’s pore is explosive. It is strong against repulsion, but inferior to adsorption. Historia’s body trembled, unable to cope with the pushing force from below.
Of course, winning the match is not decided immediately by occupying the bottom. However, the problem was that Historia was not alone now.
‘Huey!’
Sieghurund was planning to get rid of Historia and target me. Historia gritted her teeth and endured, but the limit came faster.
“not…!”
Whoops. Historia’s body jumped up, and after clearing the obstacle, Sieghurund immediately aimed at me who was behind him and unleashed a fierce blow. The sound of cutting the air filled the control room…
but his fist missed. Because I was in a state where I was flying side by side clinging to Historia’s back.
Whoa. If I hadn’t held on tight, I would have been in big trouble. There is a sense of reward when you fly away.
Clinging tightly to Historia’s back, I felt a sense of release and shouted.
“Ahahaha! You look ugly! Have you been hit on the head? It has to be! Because every wish I read about you was fake!”
“day off! It’s better not to provoke him…!”
“It’s too late! If you’ve come this far, you’ve got to go all the way!”
Historia managed to balance herself in the air, and her feet caught on the barbed wire covering the wall and stood upright. With me hanging behind my back, of course.
Since I’m like this, I’m on my stomach, so it’s very comfortable. I sneered at Sieghrund, who was looking up at us from below.
“Sorry, but you have no right to say anything to me! Even if I listen to people’s wishes from a contemplative position, it’s real. The real me, the real me. I heard the desire of people who live fiercely with real life! It’s different from you who changed your face every time you needed it, abandoning your name and identity!”
Taste the mind reader’s provocation. Don’t just hit the weak spots. At my provocation, Sieghurund immediately ran towards this wall.
Historia, who was actually fighting, was in trouble as she was suddenly caught between the two.
“day off! Too much provocation!”
“I can’t help it now! It’s like riding on the back of a tiger!”
“I can’t guarantee the odds even with 1:1, but I can’t fight with you on my back…! Even more so if you don’t have a weapon…”
“Do you need a weapon?”
If it’s a weapon, there’s something you can use right away.
He took a diamond card from his sleeve. After converting the alchemy via the biological terminal, it was lightly placed on Historia’s shoulder so that Sieghurund could not see it. Historia recognized the identity of the heavy touch without even looking.
“gun?”
“It’s the Alchemy weapon I used. I put the bullets in.”
Historia grabbed the gun, naturally putting her finger on the trigger and spinning it once. Befitting the name of a musketeer, she knew the structure of the revolver and the number of ammunition left by that alone.
and got angry
“You only have three legs!”
“I mean, I didn’t have time to fill it up.”
“No matter what, but with three bullets…! Three more feet?!”
‘Zero-pointing is a technique of catching zero points with three bullets. You have to have at least four legs to use it!’
“Shh! Sieghrund doesn’t know if he has three legs! If you don’t know, it’s like six or three! Imaginary bullets will keep him in check!”
“Fuck…!”
Still unable to point, Historia took the gun and hid it under her sleeve. I’ve never been taught such a technique. I think the pranks I used to play cards in the past were quite memorable.
Suddenly, Historia was lost in thought as she ran her long finger down the handle of the revolver.
‘This gun. It’s the same kind Huey gave me when he asked me to try the gun… I don’t know if I’m remembering it.’
“I’ll try it. Where can I escape to a safe place… No. Hold tight until we go down!”
After finishing her words, Historia jumped down as if the lattice barbed wire became a stairway. Just before falling to the ground, she slowed down slightly, and I jumped to the floor, grabbing hold of the barbed wire that had just fallen off the wall.
I’m used to rolling on the ground, but I don’t want to get used to the stiff back muscles. As I hesitantly stood up, I saw Historia again blocking Sieghrund’s path.
