The moment a life was taken away, the young man beside him smiled.
I looked at her quietly without making a sound, but my face was filled with joy, even a little crazy.
Then starting from this, the remaining fire dragons also started to act separately.
This was the beginning of the second tragedy in this land that claimed countless lives.
Seeing the boy smiling more and more every time he lost a life, Xion sighed softly.
"...Xion, what happened to you?"
Anna peered into Theon's face in a conference room in Mystodin.
Faced with her slightly worried expression, Xion just smiled ambiguously.
"I had a bad dream."
"I don't think you're the slender type to be broken down by nightmares."
"Are you interested? I once had a dream about fighting a large number of zombies in a cemetery deep in the mountains..."
If I brought up a topic other than actual dreams to my sarcastic Misty, he would scowl, shake his head and say, "No thanks."
Xiaojing, who was watching their play, cleared her throat deliberately.
"When everyone is here, can we start?"
After listening to Ajid's words, Ajid, Anna, and Misty nodded. Under Ajid's gaze, Misty operated the tablet in her hand and displayed the information on the screen in the conference room.
"In the activities of terrorists in Yadong, there are induction devices that induce the appearance of intruders, and a mysterious third party that provides such induction devices to terrorists. We are currently investigating these two aspects, and this department requires us to also Get insights from collaborator Theon Istar."
Misty, who usually has a negative attitude towards relying on Theon, is very honest because she was invited by the headquarters. Having said that, I'm afraid it's boring inside.
"Honestly, this was unexpected because we had not considered this possibility at all."
As Ajid with a serious expression said, regarding the terrorist raids, our prediction was "a prediction of the location of the dark cloud based on some means," but the actual situation was completely different.
As a person, just thinking about the possibilities related to human beings or supernatural powers is enough to broaden your horizons, but if such questions have no results, they are of little value. Xiaojing thought it was serious and there was nothing she could do about it.
"Excuse me, there is nothing I can do this time... and so do I, because this is something that even people who are proficient in supernatural powers would never think of."
Xiaojing also echoed a few words, but it seemed to have no effect. His expression was still serious.
In order to change the atmosphere, Anna spoke.
"The matter has passed. It's useless to say anything. Let's continue talking quickly... Well, let's not talk about it for now. Xion, didn't you originally say that you can control intruders even in [other worlds]? Not there? How is it there?"
"Yes! Is the reason for this incident because your information is wrong?"
"It is true that I am also at fault...at least as far as I know, it should be impossible."
Although the result is indeed wrong, regarding this information, let alone Xion, even if you ask other people with more knowledge, it should be the same.
"...First of all, please tell me why you can't control An Chongxiong."
Nodding to Ajid's words, Xion sat upright and spoke.
"First of all, as a major premise, as long as all sacrifices are allowed, Annuo's fate can be controlled."
"...So, you spread false news?"
"I didn't mean to lie. Even the spectacled vice-captain wouldn't go out of his way to say something he thinks is absolutely impossible, right?"
"It depends on the degree."
"Then you want to explain to others 'things that can be done after death' as 'possible things'?"
Misty remained silent about Theon's metaphor. After confirmation, he extended two fingers to the three people.
"One of the reasons for not being able to control intruders. Because to others, doing so would be considered the greatest evil, or a dirty thing to do."
"...I still don't quite understand."
"To put it simply, you need to become a monster... From a human perspective... you need to become a cockroach or the creature you hate most."
To non-human beings, monsters are objects of instinctive disgust.
People of different races, different values, even people with completely opposite values will not make any difference.
If you choose to "become the person you least want to be in this world", it is not impossible to control your destiny, but first of all, I don't think anyone will actively choose this option.
"Second. Even if you choose one of them, you won't be able to maintain yourself."
"...turn into a beast without intelligence?"
"That's what happens to people other than ordinary people. Even if someone other than an outstanding person can barely retain wisdom, the moment he is swallowed up by filth, he can only become a simple god of destruction."
In other words, if you become a member of the same race in order to control Anne's luck, you will most likely lose the purpose of controlling her at the time. This puts the cart before the horse.
Although there is a pattern in which one is exposed to huge filth and turns into a monster with a different will than one's own, but if it is this pattern, one has to either lose oneself or become a sentient God of Destruction. This is one of two options. choice, so I don't think it's possible to imitate the behavior of a manufacturing device. .
"In the end, even if it retains intelligence and can control intruders, there is no reason to turn it into a device and give it to humans."
Let's assume for the moment that there is a technology that can ignore all "impossibility" and successfully transform into a monster while retaining sufficient intelligence, and then use this as a device.
But why does it exist to provide terrorists with malicious guidance?
"Wouldn't it be surprising to think that this is an attempt by the [other world] to disrupt human society and make invasion easier?"
"...Although I can't say it's absolutely non-existent, it's also very inefficient, right?"
As Misty thinks, "disrupting human society and making it easier to attack" is the purpose.
But if that were the case, there would be no need to spend time building a device for terrorists to intervene.
"I have said something similar before. Wouldn't it be enough to just throw a large number of terrorists into large strongholds? There is no reason to instigate terrorists to cause trouble in Yadong."
The previous words were based on the method of "sending uncontrolled invaders through space transfer", but if the invaders can be controlled, it would be best to directly attack more important strongholds.
"...Are you trying to disguise it as a war between humans?"
"I'm afraid you don't think this is appropriate even for you, right?"
Misty, who always thinks of others as the bad guys, is not stupid.
As Theon pointed out, even though he said this, he seemed to sense something was wrong.
"To be honest, I don't know how to do it, so I think it's useless to think about it."
“Are you trying to say that it’s more constructive to think about why you’re doing this?”
"Yes, Captain Sarsga."
Ajit was not surprised by the slightly teasing Xion, but fell into deep thought with an embarrassed look on his face.
"When provided to terrorists, it must be to cause losses to society or the human military."
"...Yes, I don't think there is any deviation."
"Those who cause losses to society and the human military and gain benefits are either people from [another world] or a terrorist organization different from the "East Asian Liberation Front MELF" (Execution Case)?"
“I’m talking about that, but I want to include other people who live in this world.”
Xion's words attracted surprised looks from three people.
Perhaps he had never thought that Theon would include other people as a possibility, but the one who was most surprised was Misty.
"...Isn't he a friend to you?"
"There are also all kinds of outsiders. Even humans are divided into human armies and terrorist organizations."
So far, people other than the people "Mist" has come into contact with can probably be regarded as novices, but there are other people in this world.
There's no denying that some of them are up to some tricks.
"This will make things more troublesome..."
The composition of the realm war between the [Alien World] and the human army remains intact, with the addition of "outsiders from the [Alien World] who avenge mankind".
It would be simple if it had a cooperative relationship with the [other world], but basically except for the people living in this world, the relationship with the [other world] is very weak.
In the worst case scenario, the possibility of a third force with other intentions from [Alien World] cannot be completely denied. As Anna said, things get complicated.
“Now I can only say that the existence that created the induction device is unusual both in science and magic.
