Possessed in a Thousand Novels - Possessed in a Thousand Novels chapter 64
9. The Swallowed (5)
A dark basement. The International was busier than ever.
In the basement where one person, Sara, was missing, gazes crossed and diverged countless times. Cowardice and recklessness were in a tug-of-war. Sometimes I threw away everything I had, and sometimes I carefully stored them away.
Nevertheless, the reason why the International is somehow progressing is because of one man who maintains the center in the midst of all this haze.
Narcis. The person who procures electricity for everyone in the International and the head of the largest revolutionary organization.
As long as that clear power became a paperweight, the paper never flew away until the text was finished.
He guided the flow of discussion little by little and reached the desired consensus. The skill was so clever that everyone who participated in the meeting thought that the consensus was exactly the same as their own.
Narcis’ last words drove a wedge into that current.
“Well, then, since it seems that none of us are involved in this situation, let’s wait with a sudden change in mind, and when a revolution becomes certain, let’s inform each other of our plans in advance and take action.”
People nodded one by one, following Narcis’ nod.
Just as Narkis was about to say his last words with satisfaction after confirming everyone, the entrance to the basement burst open.
“No. “That doesn’t work.”
A voice vague in my memory. Narcis slowly looked back at the entrance.
Sarah appeared there, waving her red hat.
I didn’t even invite you on purpose, but it’s annoying. Narkis opened his mouth, hiding his displeasure.
“Sarah. “What right do you have to oppose the International’s decision?”
“Qualification?”
Sarah twisted her mouth. All the indignities she had suffered so far passed by in her eyes.
A humiliation that had been ignored for a long time. The shame of not being able to say anything under those who did not treat the revolution seriously. Nevertheless, the shame of not being able to do anything due to lack of strength.
Now was the time to pay it all back.
“That is your qualification as the leader who caused this incident.”
hahahaha! Leader? That small group of four years old? Sarah. “There are degrees of lies.”
A follower of Narcis who joined in from the side laughed out loud.
A blatant insult on a different level than before.
However, Sarah’s expression did not change at all.
“Check that out on January 1st, and be quiet. “I’m here to take care of more important matters.”
“Much? That’s Narciss’s job. Sarah. “All you have to do is leave here right now-“
Crash.
Sarah pulled out her gun and pointed it at the follower who was yelling at her.
A follower who immediately shuts up. The atmosphere instantly froze at the appearance of the most primitive power.
Narkis also softened his voice and spoke a little soothingly.
“Sarah. “Isn’t it clearly a ban on bringing weapons into the conference hall?”
“Prohibition? “Is that what you’re saying when you’ve been trying to kick me out of the International?”
“That must be a mistake. “I treated you somewhat neglectfully because of your lack of performance, but I always thought of you as a member of the International.”
Narcis swallowed and reached for the button under the table.
A button that sends a signal to those guarding outside in times of emergency. As he was about to press the button, he suddenly realized something and his eyes widened.
Quite a few people are guarding the outside and the entrance, but the fact that Sarah came in here proudly holding a weapon means that all those guarding the place have been neutralized.
“Well, that’s none of my business. “I came to punish those who go against the revolutionary spirit.”
“… What?”
“Narcis. “It’s you.”
Sarah turned the gun on Narciss. A confident gesture. The followers flinched, but no one moved quickly.
Narkis raised both his hands in dismay.
“What do you mean? I have no idea. “Aren’t we all of the same mind about the revolution?”
The expression on his face was one of slight fear and despair, like he was a victim who really knew nothing.
But Sarah, who knew the truth, was no longer deceived by such things.
“No, I was always sincere. And you all had no interest in revolution.”
Sarah’s violent remarks caused a stir in the international community.
An outrageous statement that borders on a taboo, denying all the blood and tears that the International has shed so far.
A man who was infuriated by those words rushed towards Sarah.
“This b*tch said she would listen when she heard it-“
Taang-
At that time, a bullet flew from behind Sarah and hit the chest of the man who rushed at her. A man falls down after being completely shocked. Sarah didn’t even give him a glance.
It meant that she was under her absolute protection.
However, a few others who had not yet thought about it rushed forward. However, they were all killed, and soon the battle robots hiding outside the entrance appeared.
In the quiet International again, Sarah flicked the gun she was holding.
“Narcis. You have three sins. The crime of trying to privatize the International. The sin of deceiving everyone else. And… “The crime of colluding with people in the company and selling out members of other organizations.”
“What? I, I… !”
“So. “I sentence you to death.”
Taang-
Sarah didn’t listen to Narcis any longer and pulled the trigger.
At a time when the whole story is already known, the excuses of the wicked are just a ploy to delay punishment.
Sara stroked her hair as she watched Narkiss fall helplessly. Sweat formed on his forehead and soaked his hands.
It was a sign that the knot she had built up for a long time was unraveling.
“I warn the others too. Hide quietly and never try to act. I will not allow idiots like you to interfere with my perfect revolution. “You understand what I’m saying, right?”
There was no answer. Because no one dared to speak out from under the berserk executioner.
However, that silent statement was submission and consent.
Sarah was secretly satisfied with her mood.
“If anyone tries to interfere with my revolution, he will put a bullet in that guy as well. So that you can understand.”
Sarah took notice and turned around, close to her command. Combat robots followed behind her as she left the entrance.
That confidentWhen everyone was frozen in an awkward position, there was only one person. Basis was scratching Sarah’s back and screaming.
“Sarah! “Why on earth did Narciss have to die!”
Sarah looked back at the intensity that could not be ignored.
Basis, a man of principle, seemed not at all convinced by her one-sided execution.
Seeing that it was the same as always, Sarah thought about giving a little explanation.
Now she didn’t want to waste her time on such trivial things.
“Enlighten yourself.”
“What… ?”
Sarah left her conference room without saying another word.
She didn’t want to stay in this place one more moment.

Time passed, and the New Year began to count down.
As always during the New Year, many people gathered in both virtual and real spaces. Those who have already completely forgotten the resolutions they could not achieve this year have put their unrenewed wishes into the new year.
Same situation as always. However, their expressions were quite different from before. The face, with a mix of anticipation and anxiety, was clearly aware of the poster that hinted at a major incident.
Before we knew it, the count had reached single digits. 9. 8. Those who invested optimistically painted a rosy future. 7. 6. Those who bet on recession dreamed of destruction.
6. The atmosphere became increasingly tense. 5. Those who only chased after hot topics expected chaos. 4. Those who pretended to be cool-headed pretended to be rational and made a point.
3. Politicians were afraid. 2. The incarnations of mammonism were on the move. 1. The wheel of time was indifferent.
And. 0.
At the same time, all electronic devices turned off and on, and Sarah appeared in all kinds of holograms and screens.
-The promised time has come.
Inside the underground bunker she found and renovated with Navita’s help, she was wearing simple, neat clothes.
-I am Sarah, the person who spread this ‘dagger poster’ and the only member of the revolutionary army.
Neat posture. Speechless tone. A facial expression that does not reveal any emotions.
It did not resonate emotionally with the listener, but it also did not cause emotional rejection.
-And from now on I will tell you one truth.
By nature, humans are already prepared to trust or distrust before hearing words. This can be confirmed in numerous cases, and this phenomenon is especially extreme in politics.
It is not common for people to consider something only after hearing everything they say. There would have been more people who, after hearing what was said, rationalized it according to what I believed.
Therefore, the most important task for a demagogue is to ensure that the listener is not prepared to reject his words.
Sarah spoke at the frequency of the emotionless public who would be watching her with some anticipation and interest.
When psychological barriers are broken, all that remains are words.
That was enough to control the emotions of the crowd.
-The fact is that we were being ‘bred’ by the government.
Sarah laughed.
Ruler.
Let’s open a new world.

Inside the bunker where Siwoo and Sarah are. Sarah has dozensI looked at the screen as if contemplating it.
The screen was showing real-time reactions to Sarah’s video. Breaking news on broadcast. Reactions from various SNS, media, and communities. Even the atmosphere of the field or virtual world.
The response was quite satisfactory. Siwoo thought it might be a lukewarm response, but it seems like it really had a big impact.
Siwoo watched Sarah’s recorded video again and praised her.
“… You are doing well.”
“Because it is a speech that has been continuously revised for over ten years.”
Sarah smiled leisurely.
The sign of having climbed the biggest mountain. Although he didn’t show it, Siwoo also had similar thoughts. Since he had a brilliant debut, shouldn’t he now make good use of the data he collected through Navita?
“Of course, this is by no means the end. It’s starting now. He disclosed the evidence he had gathered one by one, refuted the government’s response one by one, and created collective public opinion… “Then you will see results within a year.”
“The end has been decided, right?”
“Yes.”
Sarah is right in the middle of the many screens. He pointed at the screen showing the President’s office.
“Destroy all power. The day I become president and clean up all the corruption in this world. “That day will be salvation for everyone.”
Si-woo seemed somewhat uneasy seeing Sara’s back, but he silently followed.
There was no other alternative for him, and the revolution was already underway.
That day. Strong evidence was uploaded from Sarah’s accounts, which gained a total of millions of followers and subscribers.
It spread again and again from other people’s mouths and started to become a big fire.
