I Can See Your Code

I see your code (55)

An exceptionally dark back alley in Layton. Having somehow persuaded Teyer Terberots, I stood in the corner.

How much time has passed?

A human form emerged from my shadow, which was precariously dependent on the dim light.

“I got it.”

The cart-foot completely escaped from the shadows and tapped the fainted woman. Hani put it down

It supported the body by emitting psychic powers from the body that fell helplessly. It is the result of training recently. It was unstable and weak, but it became possible to draw some power out of the body.

Seeing the woman gently lying on the ground, she sighed.

“You have to relearn how to express yourself.”

“why? You caught it.”

“You saved it, you idiot. Didn’t you see I was caught?”

“I was having a good time.”

“You must have been presbyopia and misunderstood.”

Cartbal looked at me with an absurd face.

“Sometimes I treat you like a child, sometimes I treat you like an old man. What is it?”

“If you twist, you become human too.”

Ignoring the cart feet that complained about being unfair, I checked the code of the woman lying on the floor.

[NPC-2-434-3]

It is certainly. Daughter of King Theodore.

name is… … It’s probably Petra. It’s a character that dies as soon as it appears, so I can’t remember.

Could it be a flaw in the code? It contains a lot of information in a few words, but it is of no use if you do not know what information it contains.

It doesn’t matter because you remember all the important code anyway.

“You’re not awake, so please get up.”

He said, raising both hands as a sign that he did not intend to attack.

A body without movement. On the other hand, his body was in turmoil. As soon as I spoke, the magic started to turn into an attack stance.

Haven’t you lived half your life as an actor for nothing?

Anyone can see that he is preparing for a sneak attack with a completely stunned look. Is it really worth deceiving a third-class knight for nearly ten years? If I hadn’t seen the code, I wouldn’t have noticed.

I approached Petra with my hands raised.

“Dagger in the left sock. It’s made in Layton. Seriously, it’s only natural that he would have done a body search before he was imprisoned. And on the right thigh… … No, how did you get the poison? You were really incarcerated, right? Perhaps… … .”

Shh!

That moment. Before she could even finish speaking, Petra’s hand began to point toward her left foot. perfect timing. It’s done in the middle of a conversation when people are most likely to be vigilant. But the speed is not enough.

chin!

My foot, which hit me quickly, blocked Petra’s hand. She might be embarrassed, but she got up from her seat without even checking her swollen hand.

“… … I wondered if I had kidnapped someone who was living really well. I don’t think that’s it.”

The setting changed and Theodore wondered if he was sane. Looking at it that way, it doesn’t look like that. If I grew up normally, I wouldn’t be that vigilant.

Petra, who looked at me and the cart for a while, took turns surrendering as if she had finally given up.

“Did your father send you?”

“Do you think Theodore will send someone to rescue you?”

“no. But now that I don’t have to keep up with family play, I may have sent it off as a nuisance.”

A blunt answer with no resentment and no selfishness.

Clearly, people are people. Seeing that he responds to a topic he has never experienced before, and still seeks to escape without giving up.

“There is no need to send an assassin.”

“What does that mean?”

“Your father ate with the kidnapper.”

Petra looked at me suspiciously.

“Theodore? why?”

“I think the two of you have a good personality.”

“… … Is there a person in the world who has the same personality as him? Are you going to believe it?”

“Because the world is wide and there are a lot of crazy people.”

He raised his hand and pointed to the blood-stained road. Petra looked at him and frowned. The look of doubt was gone on the face that returned. Then he quickly relaxed and sat down, leaning against the wall.

It’s not funny.

“Can I trust you right away?”

“There is no reason to lie in this situation. It is true that there was no way to escape from there. If I was going to kill you as you said, I wouldn’t have used this cumbersome method.”

Still, isn’t that a change of attitude too quickly?

Whether or not I looked at her with an absurd face, Petra calmly began to examine even the wounds on her hands. Eventually, he turned his head toward me, judging that it was not a serious injury.

“But I don’t know why I saved it no matter how much I think about it. If you know him well, you wouldn’t even think he’d take me and get paid.”

“Because your father is trying to kill me.”

Petra shrugs.

“So what? If you’re thinking of taking them hostage, it’s useless. It seems like you know a bit, but the word is a relationship between a woman and a woman, and in fact, they are inferior to others.”

Know. Even in the original story, he was killed by his father, Theodore.

The King’s Sword is a title given to him for his unstoppable advance on the battlefield, but the truth is a little different.

He just thirsted for blood.

Rather, he is a mean human being who is clever and avoids even the slightest danger.

Yes, just enough to make a family for image management. It was just a way to quell the rumor that he only likes to cut humans.

There can be no love for a family made for that purpose.

The wife who was troublesome to deal with was treated as a soldier, and the child to keep roughly was left to the servants.

Neither love nor hate, simple indifference.

There was no reason to kill the daughter in the original story. Did you just deal with the seaweed that caught your eye? It doesn’t appear on the play screen, so I don’t know for sure.

“I know that.”

“then? You want me to tell you a way to escape? give up I am a human being who can smell blood very well.”

“It’s not like that.”

“Would you like me to take a will? The person who will let me go… … .”

“I need a weakness.”

When she stopped talking, Petra looked at her with a puzzled face and shook her head.

“There’s no way a third-class knight would have something like that. Even if it were, would I be beaten by a kid like you?”

“There is no way for me.”

One tempo rested and spoke.

“But there’s something about it.”

“What? If there was such a thing, I would have… … .”

Petra, who was talking, widened her eyes. And for the first time, he was shocked.

“You, maybe… … .”

“yes. I know.”

I said looking straight into the other person’s eyes.

“I need the evidence you have gathered about Theodore’s slaughter. Including my mother’s mementos.”

“… … .”

Petra was terrified and her mouth was still open. You’d be surprised that it must have been a fact that no one was told.

In fact, I was also surprised at the cleverness of being able to understand the situation with just that much conversation. Had some luck followed me, I would have survived in the original.

I glanced at it and turned around.

The Great Sword Theodore made one big mistake.

It’s just that you’ve missed the point of being wary of those closest to you. No matter how uninterested the child is.

A child with no power, but a clever child. He would have never dreamed that the child would dig up and even uncover the mother’s death.

That’s because I wasn’t interested in either of them.

However, he was the only human being who gave affection to the child, and he was the only being that could be called a parent.

The person who took away such a person wants to get revenge somehow. If the tooth does not stick, even if it is bitten with the gum.

Evidence of the massacre that the little child had collected for over ten years.

If that’s the case, he’ll be able to defeat Theodore, the King’s Sword. If you submit it as if it were alive, the pursuer of the kingdom will be attached.

I’m a guy who loves my life so I’ll hide myself right away. He’s a guy who doesn’t need to fight in the first place.

Well, in the original story, Petra died, so the only answer was to win by force.

She’s a smart woman, so she’ll understand that now is the right time, and it won’t be difficult to convince her. Rather… … .

I looked back at the blood-stained road.

No matter how much Byron is, at this point in time, I don’t think he has two or more Level 3 or higher. In other words, the king sword Theodore is the best move that Byron can make right now.

However, the hostage management is surprisingly poor. If I had found out that the King of Kings wasn’t interested in my daughter, it would have been only recently.

Let’s say Katbal brought Petra. No matter how meticulous he was, he wouldn’t have been able to take into account the unique skills of this race.

But I can’t wait to see the hostage take the knife and even the poison. No matter how smart Petra is, it’s nothing compared to Byron.

In the actual game, there was a description that the tableware was provided with tree branches.

Although the purpose of preventing suicide was greater than being attacked, it means that the entry of anything that could be a weapon was strictly prohibited.

Is there anything else you are aiming for?

After thinking for a while, he shook his head to clear his thoughts.

As far as I know, there’s no way the Byron can do that anymore. It looks like an all-round ability, but in fact, it has a lot of limitations.

After all, the ability is hypnotic. If I could use that kind of thing at will, the final boss would have been Byron.

The number of moves he can use is after having prepared all of them. If there is another way in this situation, it is only a configuration error.

If so, it is not a problem that can be solved by thinking about it now. Because there’s no way to know what you don’t know if you think about it for a hundred days.

But no problem.

I made Byron and cleared it hundreds of times and wrote a strategy. He was confident he would face whatever number he came with.

A room full of silence. The woman in the fox costume was trembling, restless. The dark-haired man who was looking out the window in front of him opened his mouth.

“Theodore ran away, you know.”

“That, that… … .”

“The reason is?”

The woman swallowed her saliva at Byron’s dull voice.

“Swordsman, evidence has been found that he has been slaughtering the people of the outskirts for decades. Because of that, the kingdom had a pursuit team including second-class knights… … .”

“Vanessa.”

Byron said without taking his eyes off the window.

“I am asking why.”

At that cold voice, Vanessa shook her head like an aspen and bowed her head.

“This is probably the fault of the daughter who escaped this time.”

“The one who suddenly disappeared into the shadows.”

“… … Yes. It’s probably a high-level act among vampires, but I can’t figure out why… … .”

“There is only one.”

Byron raised an eyebrow and smiled as if it was fun.

“I found out whether the new suit was forged, which even the interrogator didn’t know about, and I knew about the secrets of the empire that I didn’t know about, and even knew that Theodore, the sword of the king, who everyone thought was dead, was actually attached to this side.”

“… … .”

“Besides, you knew the location of the hostage you had been hiding. Information that I did not know.”

“… … Bar, Byron.”

The woman hurriedly knelt down.

“Shit, I never betrayed or did anything… … .”

“know.”

Byron sighed coldly.

“In the first place, Theodore, he wouldn’t have known that that daughter’s bitch would be so important. If I had known, I wouldn’t have left it that way.”

He walked back to his chair with a calm gait and sat down.

“A man so clever didn’t even notice that his son had been tracking his work for over ten years. You would be right to think that it was a fact that only the daughter herself kept.”

After speaking, Byron shrugged and remained silent for a long time. The woman, who had been prostrated and staring at her, carefully opened her mouth.

“… … If you give me a chance, I’ll take care of him.”

But Byron didn’t answer. complete disregard. Vanessa gently bit her lip. And after a while, Byron stood up.

‘Do you really know everything? Even the things I don’t know that can control the minds of others?’

It didn’t seem to be that restrictive. If it was, you would have noticed it sooner. But at the same time, I couldn’t think of anything that could do that.

The ability to know everything in the world without any conditions. Even the Goddess Kitan and the God of Wisdom Jurgen couldn’t do that.

Then it cannot be an apostle of God. Because they can’t surpass the power of God. There is no such thing as a blue vein. It was clear from the investigation that there were no boys of that age in the imperial family.

A power that no prophet in legend has shown.

Byron went back to the window and looked outside. And for a long time, I was silent in thought.
