Chapter 150 – If More Than 5 Humans Gather…(4)
Landfill’s situation has changed.
At first, only a few were dissatisfied with him for appearing out of nowhere and trying to rule Landfill, and the majority were not even interested in him, and when Karun took hostage at Landfill’s eastern airship dock, he felt repulsive as he punished her horribly. This became stronger, and a significant number of people secretly harbored fear. But after he gave a speech in the main square, public opinion turned surprisingly favorably toward him.
A sense of kinship felt in the fact that humans who were considered to be of a dimension that they did not dare to meet eyes on were actually people who had nowhere to go with them, sympathy for his long-held dissatisfaction with the barren city and his desire to change it. , The desire for the powerful ability that a teacher can give, an inferiority complex toward outsiders, and a desire to repay the favor by getting up thanks to the help he received from the teacher.
Each of them had various emotions, and the majority of Landfill citizens became friendly to him. Of course, there are still people who are dissatisfied with him, and among them, those who have the ability to move to a city other than Landfill did not sympathize with the teacher and left the city on their own feet… But as a result, Landfill’s overall power Although it decreased, the actual force actually increased.
“It’s amazing. How people in this city can change their perception of you overnight with just one speech.”
“I mean. Sensei, what kind of magic did you use?”
Originally, their perception of me was at the bottom, so Bain and Aine, who naturally claimed to be my escorts, also did not have a good perception of me. As the two walked down the street, it seemed very strange that all the youthful gazes of the enemy toward them had changed to friendly ones.
“You know, the power I have is to reveal the power of that person’s heart to the outside through emotions, right?”
“No matter how many times I hear it, I don’t understand it at all.”
“It’s like an additional ability… To be more sensitive to other people’s emotions, and at the same time, it makes the emotional gap bigger. It makes you more honest with your own desires, and I have a vague idea of what those desires are. You can feel this direction. Yes, for example…”
I continued talking while staring at Aine and Bain in turn.
“Aine… Violent, hot, wild things like destruction, rage, and revenge. By contrast, Baine’s longing for freedom and dependence on a firm path at the same time, a contradiction that cannot exist at the same time, but exists… It’s kind of like this. .”
Aine and Bain trembled at those words. I haven’t been able to dig into the specifics, but what I’ve mentioned is probably key.
“Wow… Sir, are you a mind reader? Can you read our thoughts?”
“I don’t read thoughts, I feel emotions. It’s the ability to interfere with other people’s emotions, so I’m more sensitive in the emotional part.”
“Umm… Then, even if someone has a strange mind, you’ll know right away, right?”
“Sure.”
If someone suddenly approaches me from behind with the intent to kill me, I, who are sensitive to emotions, feel as if a sharp blade approaches me slowly. Yeah, like now…?
…Ha, damn it. I spoke in a voice so low that only Bain and Aine could hear them walking beside me.
“…Ah, can you see the guy at 5 o’clock from me?”
“Huh? It’s not just one or two. Which one are you talking about?”
“I don’t know exactly. But there is one among them who has the intent to kill me.”
At those words, Aine’s eyes, which had been loose, sharpened, and at the same time Baine’s body was full of energy.
“The distance is the same… He’s probably still chasing me. Take the time to subdue the guy who wants to be this guy. Okay?”
“All right.”
“Of course, leave it to me.”
After the speech in the central square, I thought public opinion had improved, but I can’t believe that there were still people who approached me with such openly impure goals. It’s not just hostility. There is a lot of sticky murderous intent to kill me. Apparently, he is approaching with the thought of killing me.
Seeing that I can’t feel the existence of the seed, I’m not a person with powers who received power from me, but am I the guy who fell for someone from the outside and targeted me without even knowing the subject? There have been several assassination attempts in the past, so I’m taking Bain and Aine with me wherever I go recently. It’s no wonder they’re aiming for my neck even though I have two of the strongest abilities I’ve awakened as escorts… Is it bad
“…!!”
Bain and Aine naturally came out and spread the distance, gradually melting into people. And as if the escorts around me had disappeared, this moment seemed to be an opportunity. Seeing that he couldn’t hide his murderous intent at all, he wasn’t a professional assassin, and seeing that his murderous intent trembled even slightly, it seemed that he had little or no experience in killing people. Have I really been blinded by the temptation to give a subject I wasn’t prepared to kill, enough money to get me out of this damn city?
“Porridge…!”
The moment I entered the alley, the man who was aiming for my neck hurriedly kicked the floor and came running, revealing the blade he was hiding in his bosom. He tried to pierce my abdomen with a cleaver, but at that time he turned around and fell from above, and Baine’s prosthetic leg struck the man on the back of his hand, dropping the knife to the floor. I was thrown out.
“Where, let’s take a look at the face of the guy who aimed at my neck.”
The assassin tried to run away, but he didn’t have enough strength to push away the weight of Aine’s gigantic hand, and I checked the bully’s face as he was crushed by the gigantic hand and stuck to the floor.
“Hmm… It’s a face I haven’t seen around here. It must be the guy who recently came to Landfill. Well, that’s why he’s not afraid to take my life.”
Those who could not join my will and left Landfill left, but not everyone left, and in the meantime, new outcasts still enter Landfill every day. Since I can’t take care of all of them, there’s no way I can do anything about it. .
“Keuugh… Eh, let go of this!”
“Are you still not able to figure out the situation? You’re not in a position to order me to do this or that right now?”
Grab your hair, lift it up, and meet your gaze. Frightened by the pain he felt from his hair being pulled out and the chilly gaze from above, Yangachi tried to hide the fact by raising his voice and bluffing, but it was useless for me, who is sensitive to the emotions of others. There’s no way an idiot who can’t properly suppress even his own murderous intentions can perfectly hide his own fears.
“So, who sent it this time?”
“Kuk… I wonder if I should say something!”
Baine asked in a hard, businesslike voice at the sight of the archangelic scream.
“What shall we do, sir? Torture?”
“T-torture…?!”
“No, that’s fine. Eldland sent it anyway.”
“That, how… Suck it!”
I whispered in his ear as I strongly pulled Yangachi’s hair out.
“You’re not the first to take my life, and you’re not the last.”
“What is that…”
“Oh my, take this guy with you. He wants to get out of this Landfill, so grant him that wish.”
“OK.”
“Now, wait… Hey, let this go! Let go! Ugh…! Oh, okay! I’ll tell you, you can just tell me!”
Even though I told you this much, you still can’t understand, you’re a guy who lacks intelligence. Well, it must have been hired by people from Eldland. If they’re smart enough, they know they’ll never accept their offer.
Since I came to rule this landfill, there have been many attempts to disturb it from the outside before. In Desperado, a group of adventurers are dispatched under the name of an exploration quest, and Magistos’ radical magical supremacist group, the Mystery Guardians, are also targeting my abilities…
However, it has been confirmed that the mysterious guardians have recently withdrawn completely from Landfill, and the vacancy has been filled by Eldland. Mostly, soon after entering Landfill, they hired unknowing guys or stupid guys to directly aim for my life or kidnap people around me. Of course, they were all poor plans, so they never succeeded, but regardless of whether they were successful or not, if they kept provoking them like this, they couldn’t help but pay attention.
“Bain, haven’t you tracked down the guys from Eldland yet?”
“Yeah, yet… I’m sorry I couldn’t live up to your expectations.”
“It’s okay. I didn’t think I’d be able to catch up so quickly.”
One of the representatives of the Seven Cities and King of Eldland, the Golden City. I don’t know why a nobleman I’ve never seen before keeps attacking me because of a sudden gust of wind, but I have no choice but to use some means even if I keep doing it.
Of course, I couldn’t openly argue with Eldland.
If Magistos Kingdom and Metaverse City are at the pinnacle of technology in the fields of magic and science, respectively, Eldland’s characteristic is gold piled up like a mountain. It is a country so rich that the word golden kingdom is not at all colorless, and the enormous wealth accumulated through trade and local minerals is an overwhelming force that this barren landfill cannot dare to resist.
In this world, it is possible for an overwhelmingly strong individual to slice up tens of thousands of ordinary people at once, so money alone cannot do everything. However, there is no individual with such overwhelming force in Landfill yet, so there is no choice but to surrender in front of the power of capitalism. Since it took a lot of time to stably nurture stronger talents, the need to build a friendly relationship with Magistos increased even more. The problem is, Eleista is also in a pretty bad situation right now.
“Sir, I’m here.”
“Did he handle it well?”
“Of course. He came clean and well done.”
Those who have just arrived in this landfill, like the 5th stage of accepting death, at first try to deny the fact that they are in the landfill in any way. This is an abandoned city, and a city where abandoned people gather. As a result, it seems to be accepted by the outside world as being in a landfill = life has failed. Humans can never put up with the effort they have invested in being meaningless, with no results.
Next anger. Unable to hold back his pathetic feelings for himself and anger at the things that brought him to this place, he expresses them randomly, and fights break out here and there. Thanks to that, in Landfill, crushing the nose of a newcomer who couldn’t control his blood and started a fight with anyone was almost a declaration ceremony. And compromise…
Yes. The people of Eldland offer a deal to those who stand in the process of compromise. On their terms, if they kill or kidnap me or the people around me, they’re tempted to give me enough money to get out of this landfill and start a new life. And originally, the majority of humans choose the latter from the options of throwing all their efforts into the trash or proceeding as they are and destroying them all, so a significant number of people accept their offer and go after me and the people around me.
The tactic of tricking people who are about to go through the stage of despair and acceptance and putting them under stress by offending them without consuming any of their energy is truly ingenious. I dig into the fact that no matter how I can control people who have lived in Landfill for a long time and have no desire to live, or citizens who have become kind to me because of my last speech, I can’t properly influence those who have just arrived in Landfill. Will be.
I gave options to the clumsy assassins who failed the assassination. If you obediently blow your back and ask for forgiveness, you will be merciful and let go only once, and being blinded by only a few pennies and not yet accustomed to the customs of landfill, you will end up with a clumsy thought, ‘Could you kill me?’ Those who endured allowed me to get out of this city as they wished. In the name of exile, of course.
Karun, who took hostages last time, was sent out of this city by burning an airship at Madam Yang’s request, but the newcomers who did not cooperate until the end tell a different story. I just kicked them out of the landfill entrance. The reason why the only means of connecting Landfill and the outside world was an airship was because the land above Landfill, an underground city, was a desolate wilderness where no one lived.
I was not interested in how long the people who were thrown into that vast and desolate land where it was difficult to live even a proper creature, let alone a person, without having anything. If you’re lucky, you’ll be eaten by a passing demon beast and quickly lose your life. If you’re unlucky, you’ll starve to death while wandering without even encountering a demon beast.
“This time, by electrifying the barriers surrounding the city, the nights when the outcasts knock on the barriers all night long and the citizens can’t sleep are over.”
“How many outcasts was he just this week?”
“Uh, maybe the seventh?”
Considering that there have been five exiles in the past week and less than half of this week has passed, the fact that the number of exiles has increased… It must mean that the people on the Eldland side are more active. Damn, I’ll have to catch it sometime.
If I catch them, I will surely make them regret what they did. I faced an unexpected sight at the place I returned to, thinking that.
“Huh? Honey, are you here now? I brought you something interesting? Do you want to see it? Hey!”
“Eup!
Mono Lilith greets me with an innocent smile, four men tied to a pole with her naked body, and a woman tied to the floor alone with her tortoise tied and broken.
Light cloth clothes that are hard to find in Landfill, brown skin tanned by the sun, and black hair… There was no doubt. These people Mono caught were all from the Eldland side.
“These men are really boring. I checked, and she’s a virgin?”
“I love you, Mono.”
