RUST [RUST]-531

There are limits to using drugs to brainwash people.

This is because drugs that act on the nervous system can cause irreversible damage the moment they exceed the limit, even by a very small amount.

So the only way left is to try to induce her mind through conversation, but the woman sitting in front of me was having a hard time even having a normal conversation, let alone inducing her.

Even when trying to explain an emergency situation, the response is lukewarm, either because they don’t know the nuance or because their English skills are lacking.

“So, you know? This is really important. If we’re not careful, you could start a war, a war.”

“-Who said what? But why is it because of me? What did I do wrong that there’s a war because of me? You’re a weird old man. Really.”

The instructor was momentarily taken aback.

Is it strange? What I just explained? Let’s say that’s true, but where did everything I explained so far go? The delicate situation between the Confederacy and the Holy Kingdom, the current division of the United States, and the suffering of many citizens, etc…

“No, what does that have to do with me? I don’t have anything to do with it, and when I say I want to go to Juilliard in New York, they grab someone and say America is ruined. Should I say, ‘Oh, America is ruined?’? They are really strange people.”

Naru snorted. It’s ruined, but cars are rolling on the road, buildings are shining brightly, and here in the basement, look at the electric lights. In apocalypse movies, everything is completely destroyed and broken.

After receiving the status report, Chairman Joseph Meyer closed his eyes.

Is he clueless? Can’t grasp the situation? Is he lacking intelligence? Even so, it would be difficult to just let him go. If he were to say something rude, how would we deal with the consequences?

‘Do you really think they’re calculating all this?’

Pretending to be ignorant. I had to keep that possibility in mind. There was no way I could get involved with Vladimir Kalin. I should have approached him seriously since the day when his sister was thrown away by Chairman Na of the Ojin Group.

‘I can’t feel safe until it’s completely broken…’

If mental persuasion is impossible, you will have to use mental or physical torture to wear them down, but this method is difficult to use. Then what about the opposite? What if it is pleasure instead of pain?

[I’m already taking some medication. I think I’ve developed some kind of tolerance to other medications.]

“You’re resistant to psychotropic drugs?”

[We would have to do an autopsy to know for sure, but that’s the reaction it seems to be having.]

“Have you figured out the ingredients of the medicine you are taking?”

[The molecular structure itself is disorganized. It is difficult to identify the components.]

“······.”

The same goes for the treatment of the Ojin group. Who would have thought that an intermittent explosive disorder tranquilizer would also be effective against cannibalism?

Even if the recipe had been made public, no one would have predicted that a slight difference in the manufacturing method would result in a difference of more than 20 times in the duration of the medicinal effect.

Same ingredients, different effects. It was a medicine from a group of misconceptions that was hard to understand with common sense. And the medicine my younger sister was taking right now was of a similar type.

“So what does the medicine do?”

[I’m not sure, but it seems to have some sort of neurological drug effect that enhances minor physical abilities.]

Chairman Joseph Meyer’s worries deepened.

I thought it was a good card, but it turned out to be a hard-to-touch bomb. And it was incredibly bad.

“···You said you wanted to go to Juilliard.”

[yes.]

In states that had regained their peace, they tried to operate universities normally, even if they had to turn elementary, middle, and high school courses into home-schooling. This was the case in New York, the center of the Eastern Empire, and Texas, the center of the Confederacy.

“Then send it. There.”

[I will prepare.]

I want to send it, but I sent it because he said he was going to Juilliard, so go find it yourself. This was the best way. As for the thing I touched on briefly, let’s pretend it never happened by sending him to Juilliard.

“Give them plenty of Imperial currency, and do you have any employees who are popular with Asian women? Find out what type of person they like and assign them employees.”

[All right.]

Since we didn’t have much time, it was right to do it this way.

I guess we have to go with a method that makes people believe that they made their own choice.

There were some who did not respond to bribes or medicine. And most of them were more likely to move if they were made to believe that they had chosen to do so.

‘If she could go to Juilliard, have the cool boyfriend she always dreamed of, and live a wealthy life, would she still go to the Holy Kingdom? That girl?’

Chairman Joseph Meyer confirmed the next item on the agenda with a blank expression. It was a report that the new human evolution experiment had been partially successful.

‘Is the era of the nobility about to begin?’

The age of nobility.

An era of permanent peace is upon us.

More than half of the United States was experiencing severe power shortages, but New York was different. True to its nickname, the city that never sleeps, its dazzlingly bright lights were driving out the darkness.

How many sacrifices were made to preserve this splendor? But since hope was not extinguished because this splendor was maintained, the sacrifices were not in vain.

[Mr. President, we have sent someone from the South.]

“You suddenly sent someone?”

What are you talking about? You sent people to Seattle when the fighting was escalating and a full-scale battle was actually underway over Seattle?

‘I guess that means let’s talk about it first.’

If the war of attrition continues in Seattle, it will not be good for either side. So they are probably sending people to make arrangements in advance.

“Is it because of the Seattle problem?”

[···No. I am an international student.]

President Den Brown asked back at the completely unexpected story.

“Study abroad? They’re sending students from the South to our side?”

[Yes, that’s what I want to do to get into Juilliard.]

For a moment, I was dumbfounded.

Studying abroad in this day and age? And to a music school? What are you thinking? Sending someone out all of a sudden without even discussing it in advance?

“You’re crazy. Are you planning to plant a spy?”

What if they don’t accept me? No, there was no reason to accept me in the first place. After the harsh winter, the university was operating normally.

“Send it back.”

[I have a bit of a problem with my status as an international student.]

“Are you the granddaughter of a Confederate congressman?”

[No. She is said to be the younger sister of the King of the Sacred Ark Kingdom.]

what?

“Vladimir Kalin’s sister?”

[Yes. He claims that he is the younger sister of that floor. And the Southern Alliance was unable to stop his sister from going to the Empire, so they sent her away···.]

President Den Brown unconsciously pressed his temples. He felt a throbbing headache coming on.

“Send it back.”

[The southern airship left immediately after dropping off the woman and her party.]

A strong doubt pierced through the prickling headache. If she was Vladimir Kalin’s younger sister, there would be many places where she could be used, but she just gave up? Why on earth?

‘Are you sending a fake to kill me? Or are you trying to kill the real one in the empire?’

If his sister had died in the Empire, how would Vladimir Kalin react? He would say he would seek revenge even if it meant turning the Empire upside down. If he could not find evidence that the South was responsible, it was obvious that he would suffer for a long time.

“Bring him here with tight guard.”

[Do you want to meet him in person? He could be an assassin from the South.]

“So, do the inspection properly. I would rather it be filtered out like that.”

[Okay. What should we do with the group that came with that woman?]

She said that the man she was going to enter Juilliard with was a rare handsome man.

“The group should be isolated separately.”

[All right.]

If it was real, I had to see it at least once.

Not long after that, a person who claimed to be Vladimir Kalin’s sister arrived at the Chancellery.

‘No. Why are you suddenly dragging people around like this?’

‘What test? They just drew blood. What other test do you want?’

‘You can’t just not look. Who told you to look?’

Since he didn’t know what kind of tricks he might have done in the South, he had no choice but to conduct a strict inspection, and the woman was strongly opposed to it. He asked why they had dragged her here without any intention of seeing her.

Judging from the fact that she was able to say what she wanted to say despite being pressured by large bodyguards, she was either a strong-willed woman or a woman with a lot of money.

‘Well, if Vladimir Kalin is my older brother, then I have nothing to be afraid of.’

Still, the examination continued meticulously, for there was no telling what Virginia’s infamous brainwashing-induced woman might do.

After a long and arduous examination, Naru was annoyed when he faced Den Brown.

“This is President Den Brown.”

“Yes. But why did your highness call me?”

A different, awkward accent from Vladimir Kalin. The Führer frowned at the rough, flat, dadada-like feeling.

“If you are not familiar with English, would you like me to call an interpreter?”

“Okay, then.”

What the hell is this? It was Dan Brown who raised his hand to stop the secretary and bodyguard standing behind him from moving. Soon after the interpreter arrived, Dan Brown began to speak.

“The Southern Rebellion and the Empire are at war, so the process was a bit complicated. I ask for your understanding.”

“Yes. Well. I understand. But why did you call me?”

“Is the King of the Holy Kingdom your real older brother?”

“Yes. That person is my real older brother.”

A slightly annoyed expression. Even though she was the king’s sister, her annoyed expression was real. Dan Brown nodded slightly and continued asking questions.

“Then why did you come to New York instead of going to the Holy Kingdom?”

“Didn’t you hear? I said I came here to go to Juilliard.”

Shouldn’t such questions be asked by someone else? After going through all the trouble to do this and that test, Naru didn’t hide his annoyance as if asking a question like this.

“Unfortunately, Juilliard and all other imperial universities do not accept outsiders.”

“You don’t accept outsiders?”

“The story is that only imperial citizens can enter.”

“Then I will do it. Imperial citizen.”

“Hehehe- You said you were the younger sister of the King of the Holy Kingdom.”

“But?”

“Are you saying that someone like that would give up his kingdom citizenship and become an empire citizen?”

“So? Is there a problem with me wanting to become an Imperial citizen?”

General Dan Brown was able to analyze the woman before his eyes.

So it was a bomb. And a huge one.

‘Fucking southerners.’

The President immediately quarantined Naru in a hotel and contacted Vladimir Kalin of the Holy Kingdom. He told him to quickly remove the bomb. A day later, a reply came from the Holy Kingdom.

To summarize, it was like this: ‘Please take good care of me.’

“crazy···.”

As soon as the enjoyable pork belly dinner with Kim Yang was over, Maru took a seat with Na Ju-yeon.

“How did Kisun end up like that?”

“···That’s what Naru wanted.”

“What did Naru want and what did she do to make Kisun like that? Did she write about that love thing?”

“······.”

Wasn’t it said that silence was tacit consent? It was a dirty feeling on Maru’s part.

“Did you write it? No, if you did, it would have stuck to you. Hah- Fuck.”

“······.”

So that means that the one who used the drug was Naru. It means that he used the drug to bind Ki-sun to himself and then just let him wander around. Why on earth?

“I think he needed someone to protect him.”

“Is that normal? Then why don’t we date?”

“Naru said it wasn’t her style… She said she didn’t like it because her hair felt like it was going to get dirty.”

“Fuck – so you’re saying you turned the kid into a cripple with your love that wasn’t even your taste?”

Maru’s breath caught in his throat, but he held it in. Thinking about it carefully, he wondered if the woman who gave Naru the medicine had tried it herself.

“You must have used it too. That love spell… Did you use it for me?”

“······.”

“Why aren’t you answering? Did you write to me and I didn’t notice so you went to Naru?”

“······.”

Maru chuckled at Na Ju-yeon, who remained silent.

“I think the world has really become a better place. It’s an era where we can find out what we’re curious about.”

“···?”

“Juyeon-ah. I was really curious. What you were thinking, what you did… And now I know.”

“······.”

As Maru gave the signal, Ms. Kim came in pulling a cart.

[Ppeugurrrrrrrrrr]

[Bbeugyurrrrrrrrrrr]

A brain-booming bio-terminal that made a strange bubbling sound was placed on the cart.

“Okay, let’s take a look inside your head.”

Don’t worry, there’s a cure.

!!!

Poke!

The sound of skulls shattering echoed.
