RUST [RUST]-841

Kim Yang nodded with a pleased face at Na Ju-yeon’s firm opposition.

“Yeah. That’s right. Yeah.”

Ki-sun felt a little dumbfounded when she saw Ms. Kim like that.

‘What on earth are you so proud of?’

‘Of course I’m happy. I went through all that trouble to reveal the recipe for the treatment inhibitor, so I would have been disappointed if they had told me they’d give me the recipe again.’

For a moment, Ki-sun’s squinted eyes twitched.

Did you just say this with your eyes?

I didn’t realize it because it happened naturally, but it wasn’t supposed to happen naturally.

Is this what Maru and Kim Yang exchanged in their eyes?

Kim Yang’s ability is bullet time (the time when bullets fly slowly), isn’t it the ability to perceive time as moving slowly?

When Ki-soon, who seemed somewhat embarrassed, looked at her with a look that said, “Is this true?”, Kim Yang’s nose wrinkled.

“What are you talking about with your eyes wide open? Open your eye sockets wide, or if that doesn’t work, speak.”

“······.”

no?

What? Why? What do you want me to do? Don’t tear your eyes out and say it. Say it. Say it.

While Ki-soon and Kim Yang were growling like a dog and a cat, the PD said.

“It’s sticky over there.”

At first glance, it was a simple problem, but it was not something to be taken lightly.

It was certainly strange that even the former Governor General of Canada, Kisun, and King Maru of the Holy Kingdom, who had clearly stated that they would not interfere with the empire, requested the recipe for identifying cannibals.

He asked for a recipe for identifying cannibals while mentioning the suspicion that ‘the King of the Holy Kingdom is actually the King of Cannibals and Vampires’, so if you don’t give him the recipe, you can use the suspicion of a Vampire King.

The PD was inwardly furious at the low-level idea that there was no need to worry since he said he would not intervene in the empire even if the King of the Holy Kingdom was used as a seasoning in the imperial politics.

“They might try to pressure the president into resigning voluntarily by tying up various things.”

Right now, the media won’t be reporting on him because he’s a vampire king, but at the last minute, they might use him to accuse him of colluding with the King of the Holy Kingdom and the President.

“That’s what happens when you die. I said I wouldn’t get involved, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t kill.”

Kim Yang smiled sinisterly as if cleaning up after people who ran away with their mouths shut was her specialty. Above all, an assassination without evidence or witnesses wasn’t an assassination. It was just natural death.

“It would have been difficult if it had been New York, but when I moved to Boston, there were a lot of holes. Everyone was preparing for natural history, so I could organize it cheaply.”

Half of Hood’s face frowned as he watched her calculate the cost of killing people as if she were cleaning up trash, but Ms. Kim wasn’t even struck.

whatever?

The more you quickly throw away things that bother you, the less messy it will be.

Why don’t we understand this obvious truth?

Cleaning must be done before trash piles up, which requires less effort, and food waste must be thrown away before it rots to avoid odors.

“If a politician is assassinated in the Empire, we will be the first to be suspected.”

“Suspicion? What are you going to do with it? If there’s no evidence or witnesses, what’s the point? If you just get rid of all the sticky stuff, there won’t be any bastards who risk their lives to do it. The company also did a hundred-strike-one-shot deal when they cleaned up the organization.”

Isn’t this a case of one punishment equals a hundred warnings?

“In a situation where more than 100 of your subordinates have to die before you can even think straight. It won’t be effective if the guys in the higher positions die one or two at a time. You should just die in units of 100 before you come to your senses. This is from experience.”

Kim Yang was certain that at least 30-40% of the Imperial Council and military generals would have to be removed so that they would not be able to arbitrarily chew up the Holy Kingdom and use it politically.

“You have to be tough in the beginning so they don’t come up with random ideas. Rather than lamely explaining why you can’t give them the recipe for cannibals, it’s more effective to give them a slap and then give them a soccer kick.”

Ki-sun became confused by Kim Yang’s remark.

I’m not some kind of thug or gangster…

You’re suggesting that we resolve diplomatic conflicts through assassination and violence?

Yeah. I sometimes forget, but Ms. Kim was a person who soaked people in the organization.

Hood asked in a disbelieving voice, wondering if he was also feeling dizzy.

“Do you want our relationship with the Empire to completely collapse?”

“Bankrupt? Isn’t it already bankrupt? And the ones who caused the bankruptcy were the Imperial brats. Can’t you tell even after watching the combat footage? It’s obvious that the Imperial brats trained their mobile force by making the King an imaginary enemy?”

“You could say that it overlapped with the training to prepare for high-level cannibals and vampires. Of course, if you think about it, there must have been an intention to keep His Majesty in check. Isn’t that natural?”

“Of course?”

“Of course. Your Majesty is that powerful. Even if we are on the same side, it is in fact an asymmetrical force. If the Empire did not prepare, then the Imperial military and politicians are incompetent. So you are saying that we should just kill them unconditionally because we prepared? Do you really think that is the normal way to do it?”

“Yes. It’s a perfectly normal and historically correct method. To be frank, it’s the method that the Americans used, and the British, Chinese, and Japanese all used it when they had power. Why can’t we?”

It was Ms. Kim who had consistently argued that it was better to kill when you could. The PD intervened in the heated debate between the two women.

“Since you said you were cutting ties with the Empire, I think you should ignore whatever they say. However, I think it would be better to punish those who try to gain political or economic benefits by using the Holy Kingdom.”

“Back off. It’s not a matter of killing a hundred times, but a matter of killing a hundred times. And you have to do it as quickly as possible, so you don’t play around with your mouth carelessly, knowing that your life is precious. Looking at what the Empire is doing, it seems like this is the opportunity to draw your weapons and build up your strength, so where will you aim? Do you think they’ll push the Confederacy and go down to Mexico and South America without a hitch? The predecessor of that Empire is the United States of America.”

huh.

Ms. Kim was confident.

What did they usually do when they had a brief truce after fighting between organizations?

He would build up his power through the back door and get caught just once. He would do it in the hopes of seeing the end. In her view, the current situation was the same.

Since the Holy Kingdom has said they will let go, they will try to do this and that. Then they will inevitably cross the line.

Before it became irreversible, Ms. Kim thought that it would be cheaper to educate now.

Hood had a hard time understanding Kim Yang’s thoughts. He tried to understand the thought process of trying to solve the problem easily with murder, but it was difficult.

Should we consider it normal to seek out big, beautiful nuclei at every opportunity and to cry out for gases with a small x attached to their V whenever possible?

Got a problem?

Wouldn’t it be okay if we solved that problem with nuclear weapons and gas?

This was the kind of thinking that Ms. Kim had. And that was actually true.

However, the reality that the Holy Kingdom now faced was not something that could be resolved so easily. Because it was revealed that using nuclear weapons would inevitably result in a backlash, and the same was true for nerve gas.

Given the research showing that the Yellowstone volcano and seismic belt could be shocked, using strategic nuclear weapons was risky.

It has also been revealed that even small and cute miniature nuclei are not completely free from radiation and high-energy reactions, and that they affect mutant monsters.

The result was that even if it was a small nuclear weapon, problems would arise if it was used continuously. Of course, the same goes for spraying nerve gas.

Parasites such as cockroaches, fleas, lice, and bedbugs, as well as animals with rapid generational changes, including rats, began to develop resistance and mutate.

And yet we continue to use nuclear weapons and gas?

Should we just throw away the weapon that we need to use when it’s important for the sake of convenience?

If we are in a situation where we will die immediately if we do not use nuclear weapons and gas, then we should use them, but if we can avoid using them, isn’t it better not to use them?

Hood found it difficult to truly understand Kim Yang.

“······.”

“······.”

And it was the same for Kim Yang.

Rather than worrying unnecessarily, wouldn’t it be more effective to blow up the enemy’s main force with nukes and wipe out the survivors before they can build up resistance?

It was the same with nerve gas. Depending on how you use it, it can be used quite well, right?

For example, once they’re all killed with nerve gas, they’re all burned so that no eggs or young are left behind.

Instead of trembling in fear that it will build up resistance, shouldn’t we just find a way to use it if we want to use it, like by sealing the building and the ground to prevent the nerve gas from leaking out?

‘If we had done the same thing when we were catching cockroaches in New York, that would have been solved. If we had blocked the sewers and filled them with nerve gas, we could have caught rats too… It was the damn political situation that ruined that.’

That’s what Kim Yang thought. If you’re afraid of the environment and the fear of resistance and mutation, and you’re sparing yourself from killing, then even if a new weapon comes out, the same situation will just repeat itself.

Even just looking at the bullets, it was obvious. The mutant monsters had long since mutated to respond to conventional bullets. Now, even small-caliber bullets couldn’t penetrate the shells of cockroaches.

Even crows, which are birds of prey, would ignore small arms and pistols, and when it came to wolves, it was virtually impossible to catch them with bullets smaller than 12.7mm.

The same goes for special bullets made from mutant monster byproducts. When catching mutant beasts, 7.62mm was initially sufficient, but then it moved to 12.7mm, and now 20mm is becoming the norm.

In fact, 5.56mm and 6.8mm are dead realities. So, Kim Yang’s idea was to kill as many people as possible while he could, and to kill them quickly.

If you think about it, how absurd is this situation?

You have to use 12.7mm and 20mm to catch animals and bugs.

Whether insects, animals, cannibals or vampires, the more time passes, the more expensive and dangerous it becomes to catch them.

It was the same for ordinary humans. Let’s assume that time passes in the same situation as now, whether they are members of the Imperial Senate or military personnel.

Let’s say they crawl into the Imperial Sea City and start talking nonsense. Would it be easy to catch and kill them once they enter the Sea City? Of course, it would be difficult to catch and kill them.

“So now we have to kill the Imperial Senators and Imperial Military personnel?”

“Don’t waste time, kill them. Then they will understand why they are dying. Others will also learn to kill themselves.”

Ms. Kim confidently answers the hood’s questions.

“What is the Empire warning us about?”

“I told you. Even if we stay still, the Empire will become more and more wary of us. Don’t you understand?”

Maru, who had been listening quietly, made a decision.

“What problems would arise if we killed the imperial senators who talk nonsense and the military personnel who do strange things?”

“Even so, that doesn’t mean war will break out immediately or relations will immediately break down. Of course, that’s assuming there is no clear evidence.”

Kim Yang vehemently agreed with PD’s analysis.

“As long as there is no evidence, it’s fine. If necessary, you can fabricate it to look like it was done by a cannibal or a vampire.”

Ki-soon sighed softly.

“Didn’t you say honesty is the best policy?”

“There was also something else that followed.”

Honesty is the best policy – when there is money in it.

Hood’s voice was low in response to Maru’s answer. A determined expression was carved on his face, which was half-hidden by the mask.

“Do you intend to completely sever ties with the Empire?”

“Rather than liquidating, I think it would be better for each of us to go our separate ways. And it’s not good for the Imperial Council and military to take the Holy Kingdom lightly.”

It is true that the science and technology of the Holy Kingdom, which has reached a singularity, is so great, and the Empire’s technological prowess is also of an incredible level.

An empire with a large population and a decent military might will eventually become greedy for the technology of the Holy Kingdom.

Sometimes using trade, sometimes using humanitarianism as an excuse, or like now, using suspicion as an excuse, they will keep poking at us.

“Then is it really necessary to kill them?”

“We have to kill them. That way, there will be fewer people who try to play politics with the Holy Kingdom. At the very least, they’ll have to risk their own lives.”

Hood was about to say something at Maru’s assertion, but he closed his mouth. This was because he realized that the king’s judgment was firm and that there was no turning back.

“So the first priority is to properly classify those who need to be killed.”

Maru had decided to kill without mercy those who insulted and blatantly attempted to exploit the Holy Kingdom.

oh-

Miss Kim looked at Maru and smiled brightly.

‘So when is the date?’

‘······.’

Shouldn’t we do what we set out to do before going to the Empire and going around in circles?

‘Call after the meeting?’

‘···okay.’

Ms. Kim felt like she had been stabbed twice in the neck today.

The work on the strange things in the empire was also passed, and the delayed Hwung- was also caught.

huh.

It was a Good Day.
