#664. pass it right now.

Tak tok tatak.

As the saying goes,

The more you do something, the more you get used to it.

And when that familiarity exceeds a certain level, you will be recognized as an expert in a field, just like you get a government job.

from that point of view.

A slender, tall, white-haired beauty.

It was no exaggeration to say that Lin was already the most respected person in this Gulag.

Sit cross-legged.

tethered to a straitjacket.

Even a prisoner who had worked in the Gulag all his life could not imitate just a few people’s work with his toes.

‘Hmm… This isn’t good.’

However, Rin’s face was not so bright.

Even until you come to Gulag.

I thought it was easy.

Elshar, who was the head of the New Revolutionary Army, is a celebrity that the Counter-Revolutionary Army would definitely want to have as a ally.

So, I thought I would be in touch within a few days at the latest.

No signal yet.

I couldn’t feel better.

Of course, it is natural that the Revolutionary Army is cautious.

Considering that some intelligence agencies have investigators who go undercover for months or even years to root the organization.

It was overkill to expect results in just a few days.

But you know the dangers of black magic.

As much as we have to confront the World Federation.

Rin, who had to deal with this matter as soon as possible, could not help but feel sorry for this waste of time.

‘It would look too suspicious if we actively tried to contact them.’

Fortunately, there are several obsessive gazes.

Many of them seem to be driven by lust, but if you look closely, you might find the tail of the counter-revolutionary army.

The problem is that if there is no tail among them, it may be more difficult to find counter-revolutionary forces.

I’ll wait for more contact.

Or should I go slowly?

tethered to a straitjacket.

While Rin was immersed in thought while carrying out the tasks assigned to her as labor with only her two feet.

Udangtang!

“Aaaaaaa!”

with a loud noise.

A scream like scream erupted.

How loud was that sound.

In the midst of not only Lin, but also hundreds of inmates who were working nearby, all eyes were on them.

A hard mechanical sound came from the ceiling speakers.

[No. N2114860. Addition of 3 penalty points for disruptive work and damage to work. Return to work immediately.]

“Noisy!”

bang!

“How long are you going to treat me like this! I am not a machine! A person!”

The man who threw down the work bench and damaged the speaker shouted desperately.

But really, of course.

The voice was not agitated.

As if he was used to it, another speaker just vomited a mechanical sound.

[A commotion breaks out in the KI-19-A92 workshop. Please subdue the prison guards in the district immediately.]

The prison guards in uniform, who were stationed throughout the workhouse, immediately arrested the man as instructed.

No, I was trying to get arrested.

Unless the man had jumped onto the conveyor belt.

Of course, even then, it’s futile.

Unless you do a jailbreak.

It seemed clear to anyone that the man would soon be caught by the prison guards.

“Get out of here, you bastards of the dictator! If I die, I will die, and I will no longer live on your parts!”

Tadadadak!

The problem was that the man knew that too.

If I hadn’t known, I wouldn’t have run on the conveyor belt.

…toward the cutting machine that was cutting the iron rods with a creak in the midst of this commotion.

“Oh, suicide by suicide!”

“Run, run!”

Whether he made a fuss or not, the inmates who watched him apathetically didn’t stop him.

Rather, it’s like watching a racehorse.

I just cheered them on with heat in their rotten Dongtae eyes.

The moment when the man was about to throw himself into the cutting machine in the gap between the inmates and the prison guards who could not catch up.

“Keuuk?!”

Udangtang!

A part hit the man’s temple directly.

The man bounced off the conveyor belt like a bowling pin and fell to the ground.

“Is it a failure?”

“The special vacation flew by.”

“It’s better than being unlucky and wasting your time cleaning up a mass of corpses.”

The prison guards who caught up belatedly dragged the man away.

While the other prisoners watched as if they were sorry, and started working again.

The white-haired beauty who bounced off the parts.

Lynn narrowed her eyes.

“It’s common.”

“Is it common? Something like today?”

“yes.”

After nodding slowly.

Bachemensky asked softly.

“Have you ever heard that no one lasted 10 years in a gulag?”

“If it’s just rumors.”

“It is not just a rumor. In fact, of those who serve gulag, less than half survive for more than 10 years.”

“…Most of those deaths were suicides?”

“At least the placenta does. Suicides are becoming more frequent these days.”

For the past few days, the atmosphere has been buzzing with Elshar and Rin’s imprisonment, so it’s just been quiet.

Originally, about one person per day quietly hanged themselves or cut their wrists.

or jump into the shredder.

Such as throwing oneself during high-rise work.

Suicides happen in all kinds of ways, so there are even bets on how the suicide will die tomorrow.

Rin frowned as he saw Bachemenski talking about what he had been through in the Gulag for the past few months.

“I honestly don’t understand.”

“Is that so?”

“No matter how hard Gulag’s labor is, isn’t it nine hours a day? Is that an environment where you can commit suicide one after another?”

Originally 8 hours a day.

9 hours until overtime.

5 days work week, 2 days off.

Integrated 45 hours work week.

In addition, good quality meals and all kinds of entertainment facilities.

As it is forced labor, even if the labor intensity itself is severe on average and freedom is limited, that is all.

From slaves who couldn’t even raise livestock.

How tenaciously humans survive in all kinds of harsh environments,

even the workers of the Industrial Revolution .

It was absurd for Lin, who had seen and experienced it for hundreds of years, to commit suicide after working here for only 10 years.

“It’s only if you’re looking at work…”

Seeing Bachemenski, who neither affirms nor denies, Rin’s point.

The guard in the gas mask, who was crossing his arms behind him, tilted his head.

[That means that there is dissatisfaction with my gulag?]

“I don’t have any particular dissatisfaction. It just means that no matter how good the conditions are, prisoners have their own hardships.”

[I’m curious about what that kind of hardship is?]

“That’s…”

“Don’t argue too much. Anyway, it’s true that people are dying, and it’s not the revolutionary brother’s fault.”

After drying the prison guards on behalf of Bachemenski, who was actually making an embarrassing expression.

Lin said seriously.

“And I think you’d better do a proper investigation into this matter.”

[In this situation?]

“Anyway, there’s nothing else to do until the counter-revolutionary forces come in contact, and it’s because it’s a bit of a hassle.”

According to Bachemensky, the number of suicides in the Gulag had been frequent since before the Revolution.

So, it would be more efficient to let it go and focus on the investigation of the counter-revolutionary army for now.

But I’m afraid there’s something I’m afraid to just move on.

Looking at Rin quietly talking.

The prison guard tilted his head.

[…Is that a feeling?]

“Yes.”

[Huh, if unnie says so, I’ll look into it.]

You can’t ignore the sword master’s intuition.

However, in a situation where we do not know how far the roots of the counter-revolutionary army extend in Gulag, we cannot hastily rely on internal personnel.

I said I would investigate.

When the prison guard said cheerfully.

A blunt voice cut through the air.

“No need.”

[Huh?]

“I will do that research. Yekathrice does not intervene.”

The prison guards and Bachemensky.

In the midst of seeing an expressionless white-haired girl with a puzzled face.

Lin asked shyly.

“Would you have to do that?”

“I want to know if you don’t believe me.”

“No, it’s not a matter of believing or not…”

“If you believe, we’ll leave it to you.”

“Hmm.”

Rin put on an ambiguous expression.

This is Gulag.

Whether considering the fact that it is the territory of the Silver Dragon clan or considering the aspect of ability. There was no reason to entrust this investigation to someone else.

But worry for a while.

It’s like when you’re upset.

Rin nodded when she saw the prison guard who raised her thumb as if she was having fun.

“Okay then please.”

“I trust you and leave it to you. I will find out for sure.”

After saying just cut it off.

The white-haired girl slowly turned her head.

Then, looking at the prison guard with exciting eyes with transparent eyes, he held out a hand.

“So I’ll hand over ‘that’ and Rin’s key right away.”

* * *

Seven Dragons.

In the distant Bronze Age, they ruled the world.

In the Age of Heroes, it was called the Demonic Cult.

In modern times, it has been reborn as a large corporation.

The internal structure of this organization with a long history was as complicated as that.

From the elite families that make up the pillars of the Presbyterian Council in charge of the throne of the seven princesses, to the armed forces that are in charge of armed forces and the low-end clans spread all over the place.

By analogy, it is a huge tree.

Belief in the seven dragons.

The power of psionics.

to great wealth.

It was a living organism itself that had been continuously growing for over a thousand years as everything intertwined.

And the structure of the Seven Dragons.

I had a very unique identity.

That’s right side.

He was the only person in the clan who was authorized to go against the will of the princess, and only the most trusted person could be.

Therefore, the status of the aides in each clan is truly one or all.

It is basic to be a master of the class.

higher authority than the elders.

He had enormous authority enough to lead the clan in the absence of the princess.

To the extent that there was even a non-joking joke that if a rebellion broke out in the Seven Dragons, it would only be possible with his aides.

“Are you all here?”

In that sense now.

It was natural that this space was quiet.

A screen far behind compared to a hologram device.

However, for video conferencing, the aspect that emerged in the clear video was never light.

[Do you really need to ask?]

[I agree with Arbella this time.]

The sharp shot was twin sisters with identical faces except for their long, short green hair.

Barbara and Arbella, the twin flowers of the Green Dragon clan, are recognized by everyone as being a material that will rise to a servant-level position in the future, even though they are still lacking.

[As you can see, Tata was already here.]

What she said proudly was a white-haired woman in a sky-high dress.

As the daughter of Princess Baekryong of Seonseondae, Tata, the leader of the Baekryong clan, has assisted three princesses.

[Yes, I’m ready too.]

The one scratching her head is a girl in a loose military uniform.

Nadia, the genius of the Red Dragon Clan, is the youngest master in history, excluding the princesses of each clan, as he is a mixed blood of the Red Dragon Clan and the Gold Dragon Clan.

[You can just start.]

The blonde beauty in cowboy clothes said as if she would give special permission.

Ellis, who is competent in all aspects and is a member of the Golden Dragon clan, who even serves as the president of the United States of America as a hobby.

[The attendance rate is already 115%, so it is judged that there is no reason to waste more time.] The

silver-haired maid with a silver prosthetic arm on her left arm coldly pointed out.

Kana, the iron-blooded maid of the Silver Dragon clan, who is feared even more than the Great Khan by some Russians because she commands Okrana and the KGB.

And…

[Never mind this insignificant old man.]

The polite reply was an old man with a cane.

Originally, Yo-in, the general manager of Leviathan, was just a mere observer because he was not even qualified to attend this event.

“All right.”

A man in gorgeous armor who confirmed everyone’s will.

The Blue Knight of the Blue Dragon Clan is one of the best in the Seven Dragons Society for being loyal and righteous, even though he may be aloof.

Lucas said seriously.

“Then let’s start a secret meeting.”

seven entourages.

or between their agents.

A secret conversation that was not permitted even by the princess began.
