Sage Advice: 3]
My memory is vague.
How long has it been since I fell into the white hell, the human ranch?
Perhaps, if I were alone, I would have lived like this without any hope, and I would have died, and the way out of room 103 would have been closed forever.
However, when we met the teacher, we were able to provide hope to each other.
I learned many things I could not have known on my own,
The teacher was given tools to move around outside the tank.
escape plan
Just the word ‘escape’ makes my heart race.
For probably 10 days or more, I refined my plan for every hour or two I could communicate with the teacher per day.
The information and wisdom that the teacher has accumulated over the many years of being confined in this facility, and the information that I have gained while traveling around the facility in relative freedom.
The escape plan created by putting all of this together is actually very simple.
Fundamentally, it is not much different from the farm rebellion that I created with my hotel colleagues in Animal Farm.
The success or failure of the plan actually depended on two factors.
First, whether the teacher can buy me even one minute of time.
Second, whether I can control ‘diverse viewpoints’ at least a little bit.
In both cases, there is virtually no way to know until you try it on the day of planning.
The first factor is up to the teacher. The teacher himself seemed to think it was possible, but…
The second factor is up to me. Even the teacher who was superior to humans wasn’t sure about this.
Anyway, I waited and waited for the teacher’s preparations to be completed.
————————————————– ———
As always, today too Theodus took me to a huge room underground.
After some time, he and the other giants began to move around the room and manipulate the devices.
How much time has passed? The voice I had been waiting for for a long time was heard.
Hey kid. Looks like the time has come
Didn’t you say you still need time?
If I gather more strength, the odds will increase.
But as I gather strength, I feel you wearing away.
Even if I gather enough strength and gain time, it is meaningless if your spirit to actually act is weakened.
Therefore, today is the time.
My heart is beating wildly. The fear rising from deep within my soul froze my body and mind.
But now you know. In the end, it was just a moment to do something that had to be done at some point.
Stand up quietly and look around.
As always, white giants who operate unidentified devices with tentacles rising from their bodies.
I stand up, but no one cares.
That’s right, I’m just a pet to them.
Who would pay attention to their pet’s behavior while working?
And the next moment –
————-Kugugugugugung!!!!!!!!!!!!
A tremendous vibration erupted from the tank the teacher was trapped in!
As soon as a shock wave exploded, all the giants stood up and ran towards the machine attached to the water tank.
That’s probably one of the control devices that traps the teacher.
however –
————Laaaaaaaaaaa
The shock wave is actually just a means of making the giants run to the tank.
At the same time, an indescribable, colorful sound fills the entire room –
An overwhelming silence came.
The giants stopped.
Just as the world fell silent every time giants appeared on Animal Farm under the name of ‘Goblin’, this time the world of giants stopped.
From now on, it is my role.
After catching his breath, he rushed out and took the silver bracelet off the arm of the still giant.
Although it’s called a bracelet, it’s just a bracelet on a giant’s physique. To me, it was big enough to fit my entire body, like a hula hoop…
When I pulled it out, the bracelet immediately shrunk to a size where it could fit on my arm.
Can we really control this?
People made guns. That doesn’t mean people have any tolerance for guns.
Likewise, the Athanasias created this bracelet, but there is no way for them to resist the power of this bracelet in their current ‘stopped’ state!
That was the core of every escape plan we made.
I learned about the general principles and how to use it as if I was listening to a lecture from a ‘teacher’ several times, but… I’m not sure.
Can a parrot or dog use a smartphone properly even if they are trained?
I don’t know. It’s just that if I fail here, all possibilities are truly lost.
-Knock. Knock. smart.
He flicked his tongue slowly and periodically. Next she closed her eyes.
From now on, it’s uncharted territory.
It’s funny, but this repetitive motion is the only tool I have to hold myself together.
I closed my eyes and put the bracelet on my arm.
My body vaguely comes to mind.
No, the body is still. It just floats as my consciousness floats.
The moment you quietly focus your gaze on Athanasia in front of you and designate it as your ‘target’.
A storm of incomprehensible information assaulted my brain.
Can a visually impaired person who perceives the world in black and white from birth understand various colors?
Can creatures in the cave ecosystem, who are born blind, understand that vision is what they are?
Sharks sense the flow of small electric currents with the Lorenzini organ. Can humans understand this?
Perhaps all is impossible.
then…
What would happen if we forced this innately incomprehensible collection of information into our brains?
It was only today that I clumsily realized the correct answer.
A storm of information that cannot be classified, let alone understood, paralyzes the brain.
An unidentified sensation that humans can never feel or perceive.
A collection of information that only Athanasia could perceive began to pour into my head.
At one point, I saw the world in five primary colors.
At one point, I touched a sound, felt a color, and tasted a taste.
I calmly concentrated my mind while feeling like my brain was melting.
There is only one way to find myself in the storm of information.
Focus your mind on the senses you can understand and ignore the rest.
-Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.
The sound of clicking one’s tongue.
I focused all my mind on that sound.
And slowly, my floating spirit returned to my body.
I opened my eyes.
A strange sensation, an inexplicable sense of elation, fills the soul.
‘Perspective’ or ‘world’ as perceived by Athanasias
It emerged from one corner of my head like a model made from countless puzzles.
We succeeded in controlling ‘diverse viewpoints’!
He walked towards Athanasia, who was standing nearby.
The ‘teacher’, who read my intention, also slowly unraveled his frozen time.
Athanasia, who woke up alone in a lonely world, began to move slowly, as if embarrassed.
Athanasia moves her perceived ‘perspective’ carefully.
As if changing a piece of the world created by the Creator.
Slowly entering a piece of information into his mind.
Information about restoration and release of the control device was gradually changed.
So that he can disarm the controls that I cannot control…
The next moment, the Athanasia I was controlling suddenly pulled out its tentacles and –
He pierced his own head.
?
What on earth is this?
You noticed.
Did I do something wrong?
Due to your immaturity in manipulation, the author realized that he was being manipulated by ‘diverse viewpoints’.
However, even Athanasias have no way to escape the control of the bracelet on their own.
That’s why he chose to die rather than be manipulated.
then…
What was expected. It would have been easier if you could directly control Athanasia, but didn’t you plan from the beginning knowing that it wouldn’t be easy?
There is nothing to be upset about. Proceed to the next plan. I will also save up my strength again. Today will be a very enjoyable day.
Is it because my senses have become strangely sensitive while controlling ‘diverse perspectives’?
It’s different from the gentle and beautiful atmosphere I usually felt from ‘Teacher’…
I felt some very deep and dark emotions.
There is nothing strange. If you are trapped in a place like this for a very long time, even if you are a semi-divine being, you will inevitably develop a dark heart.
I turned around and headed towards the wall.
‘Different perspectives’ are not simply a tool for mental manipulation.
This tool is similar to a smartphone in human terms.
As an inexperienced user, I can only utilize a small portion of its functions…
The tool itself is an all-purpose object that assists the numerous actions required for Athanasia to live.
Among its functions, it was said that there was also the function of ‘movement’ within these facilities.
I calmly thought of my next destination in my head.
Not a human ranch, not an underground room, but an unknown space that I have never been to before.
The moment when ‘diverse perspectives’ read my intentions.
We arrived at a strange land where the entire world, from heaven to earth, was filled with squirming faces.
