Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint

EP.289 Blessed Country, Cursed Human – 12

“Why Captain Abbey?”

I feel a slight reluctance from Captain Abbey. It’s a strange thing. Up until now, Captain Abbey had never felt any repulsion from me no matter what I did.

“You. If it is done according to your wishes. What about the other signalmen?”

“You will find freedom. Like Captain Abbey.”

I said it insignificantly, but Captain Abbey listened as if it were a big deal. she said earnestly.

“From what I hear, your plan seems to be… to dump the signalman.”

“Are you throwing it away? who abandons whom The communicator has better specs than me, right? I received officer training, and I can use unique magic. They are even powerful figures who control the military behind the scenes.”

“So it is. Signal soldiers are of great strategic value. Signal Soldiers have access to many of the military’s secrets and have access to various military facilities. If you reveal the true nature of the Signal Soldiers and create confusion, the Signal Soldiers are the first to be put in danger.”

I bet If it is an enemy of the military, it will target the communications soldier first. Because we need to get information and break the military communications network.

What if you are on the side of the military? What if they are loyal to the military? Will they protect the signalmen? maybe it’s hard

Will he be able to continue to do so in the future when he knows that a mediocre signalman has been giving orders to him so far? It won’t be easy. either rationally or emotionally. Rather, it may try to eliminate the communication soldiers.

I agreed with Captain Abbey’s words.

“There is a point in what Captain Abbey says.”

“Then…”

“But I can’t find a reason to care.”

Captain Abbey stopped breathing. I said still holding Yuel tightly.

“Correspondents are an indulgence created by the military for their country. No one can hold them accountable because they are used like tools while taking away all their lives. no, i don’t even know Thanks to that, the military is definitely a country created by humans, but it’s on its way to becoming something greater than humans. A country that dominates the human species.”

Until now, kingdoms were ruled by kings. Historically, there have been many discussions about the division of roles between the king and the country, but anyway, the king is a human being. So far, humans have been ruled by humans.

However, the military does not rule over anyone.

“Among them, the position of the communication soldier is more prominent. Even though they have the right to access various facilities of the military, do they rot in a room without a drop of hot water? The Communicationsman does that, and all humans are subject to a military power that doesn’t really exist! Wouldn’t it be better to die walking on the ground with your feet than to die exhausted in such a dark room?”

“…Positive. The head office also thinks that way is better. You know what joy is and how precious it is.”

okay. Captain Abbey tried to save his life even when his life was in danger. It was very rewarding. Captain Abbey must have realized what can be done…

“But I think there is a better way.”

“yes? A better way?”

Why are opinions different? If she had seen the intense lives of ordinary people right in front of her eyes, she would have thought similarly to me.

“The head office had you. Thanks to being with you, we welcomed everything we encountered with pleasure. However, the other carriers do not have you. In a harsh world, as the main one encountered, anything new will come as more of a threat than a pleasure. And other carriers most likely won’t get over it. The main thing is…”

Captain Abbey stopped talking before choosing his words.

there is no reason to give For a signal soldier who had only made objective judgments through the eyes of the military so far, claims that were not bound by rules or gains and losses were too unfamiliar. Captain Abbey had managed to find something to his liking.

“I don’t like it. Even if it is irrational.”

I can’t help it if you don’t like it. That alone could be the reason. The world flows according to the rules set by God, but it is the mind that moves humans.

I nodded.

“I understood. But just because I don’t like Captain Abbey doesn’t mean I’m changing my mind. Like Captain Abbey, I still have a sense of duty to defeat the enemies of mankind.”

“The target you are trying to overthrow. You are attacking it because it is not human. Is your guess correct?”

“yes. Man’s enemy will be man, but even the heinous murderer cannot be the enemy of mankind. Are you the same human? My stomach doesn’t become my enemy just because my stomach hurts, and I can’t fight back if I accidentally hit my head while moving my right hand.”

After answering with a shrug, Captain Abbey stammered slightly.

“…the main building is your ally. Isn’t it?”

read the stream of thought An image was drawn in the mind of Captain Abbey, who had been a pure white blank page without any drawings until just now.

The wish of a signal soldier who rebelled against the military for the first time.

“The military is a country that moves according to the ‘command’s order’ transmitted through signal soldiers. Everyone believes in the existence of a command somewhere.”

“It actually means the same thing, doesn’t it? Command’s orders are information processed by those signalmen.”

“different.”

“yes?”

I asked as if I didn’t notice even though I knew roughly how it would go. Captain Abbey told a lie that a signalman should never do with a determined will.

A lie that will become the truth from now on.

“The main building is AB. The first of the signalmen.”

said Captain Abbey, putting his hand to his chest.

“There is no declaration of status between signal soldiers, but their identification names are placed in the order of the signal soldier’s abilities. The main building is a communications soldier named Abbey, who has been vacant for a long time. Except for Ai, who is known as the original communication soldier, it can be said that he has the most powerful abilities… but Ai was not a communication soldier.”

that’s right Because that’s a saint.

A divine power that is different from the original magic. An anecdote about how the first saint answered the call of a follower even from a great distance.

Yuel talked to the radio operator who wanted to communicate with it. The only difference is that it’s not sympathy, it’s just a simple conversation. Saint Yuel and the communications soldier are too different to be sympathetic.

So the military state became a state without a king.

However, Captain Aby denied UL’s actions.

“Thus, the Main Building is the most powerful communications unit. It has unrivaled power among other signal soldiers and can dominate them. Therefore, the will of the head office has the greatest influence on the consensus of the signal soldier.”

Words that narrowly avoid lies. true or false I don’t know. All communication soldiers are conducting organic communication, and even if they are at the end, the will conveyed by one communication soldier is spread, mixed, and blurred throughout.

Just like human nerves do.

Depending on the standard, it can be false or true. However, AB, the party involved, spoke with a firm will.

“The will of the military headquarters was all spread from the head office. The main building is the headquarters.”

“…In short, Captain Abbey was the king of the military?”

“Positive.”

Captain Abbey pressed his head deeply with a restrained motion. I’m trying to say something solemn, but it doesn’t suit me at all because it’s a mild impression.

“To say that, I think I was manipulated a little while ago.”

“This is possible because the Chief of Staff accepted it!”

“What do you mean? There are not just one or two puppets in the world.”

Are you going to come and tell me that the militia is in fact another type of kingdom ruled by humans?

right. Captain Abbey might be someone’s enemy. But they can never become enemies of mankind. Captain Abbey is also human.

“It’s a pun.”

“One is true.”

“Certainly, it is possible with Captain Abbey. Captain Abbey, who has a life and desires, can take on that responsibility and guilt…”

I let go of my hand pulling the wire. The wire untied powerlessly, and Saint Yuel regained her freedom.

Even with the bruises from being pressed by the wire, Yuel quickly put his hands together and looked at me with suspicious eyes. If the saintess exerts her power, if even an angel is summoned to this place, I am as good as dead.

I would never have done it normally, but now I can’t. I shrugged and said.

“Uel. Kill Captain Abbey.”

“…what?!”

Everyone in the room took a deep breath. Yuel, in particular, was agitated as if he had been hit by an unexpected blow.

what are you so surprised It’s what he’s been trying to do so far.

“Why are you suddenly like this? It’s your job. Dealing with stray communicators. If the telecommunications disease becomes mental contamination, so if you lose your innocence and become a normal human… weren’t you worried that this would happen?”

“…If I kill someone, I will kill you before that child.”

“Ah, so be it. I won’t be able to touch the military until Captain Abbey dies anyway.”

I wrapped the wire around it with my fingers. After weaving a skein like thread, pulling it all the way to both sides, the wide knot came together in one place and returned to the card in an instant. I sighed as I shuffled the changed cards into my deck.

“Humans cannot be enemies of mankind. Captain Abbey has put himself in command, and he’ll probably make it happen. The other signalmen can’t stop Captain Abbey from his desires. Except for you, the only one maintaining the system.”

“…I didn’t mean to kill you instead. Quite the contrary.”

“It’s up to you how you take it.”

Captain Abbey is human. not the enemy of mankind. But by virtue of such a declaration of one’s own will, and indeed by virtue of having the ability to do so, one qualified.

So, with Captain Abbey, the military does not become my enemy. It’s an ambiguous ending for me.

I cannot stop the one who wants to be king instead of me. At best, it’s all about testing.

Yuel’s eyes trembled as he noticed something.

“Did you get the king? In this army…?”

Captain Abbey approached Yuel. Kneeling on one knee and making eye contact with Yuel, Captain Abbey said clearly with a straight gaze.

“Uel. Please cooperate with the head office.”

Obviously, Yuel would be stronger, but it was Yuel who avoided his gaze.

“no. I can’t.”

“Think rationally. Any case is better than having the signalman’s secrets exposed. Aren’t your evaluation results the same?”

“different! A communications soldier must not have desires. If so, you, not a communications soldier, will move this country following your desires. to be the king His dream… his wish to create a country that does not need a king is tainted.”

Captain Abbey glanced at the corpse and said:

“He is a dead man.”

“Even if I die, the dream will not disappear!”

As if in denial, Yuel hugged the corpse again. Covering the cold corpse with his entire body, Yuel cried out in sobs.

“The military is a masterpiece created by his ideals. He is the son of me and him! By the way. give up like this? no! I’d rather die here! Buried with all the secrets! then…!”

“Then everything he created is gone. Perhaps the military will also disappear. Would you mind anyway?”

Yuel took a breath.

The reason why UL kept asking, asking, but couldn’t bear to put it into practice. Because we were given enough time. That’s because there are traces of him, including Gunung’s corpse.

He’s a man with lingering attachments to the point where he’s been hugging a single man’s corpse for nearly 20 years, but there’s no way he’s determined. Yuel’s worries deepened.
