9. The Swallowed (6)

The flames of revolution spread slowly, but firmly and surely.

Navita’s power to dominate public opinion on the internet, confidential documents and transcripts being released one by one each time a rebuttal is posted, and even the appearance of a small number of righteous people.

The series of processes proceeded overwhelmingly, as if playing with the opponent. All of this was established based on the transcendent skills that Navita showed alone.

The government’s counterargument was meaningless in the face of the truth. Systematic censorship was powerless against Navita’s hacking capabilities. In real life, assassination attempts failed before they even began. The community’s public opinion battle was even trampled in front of numerous macro bots created by Navita.

As long as Navita exists, Sarah has already become inviolable.

Sarah looked at this and said:

“Originally, there would have been a huge chaos around here.”

It was as she said.

A challenge to social institutions. And collapse necessarily entails a subsequent period of chaos.

Many revolutions have been like that, and Sarah’s revolution should have been like that.

However, it was entirely Navita’s credit that people’s daily lives were maintained despite the world being so chaotic.

“But it’s better without that kind of confusion. That has no place in my perfect revolution. So… “The value of the revolution cannot be fully recognized.”

There was truth to what she said. This is because no matter what noble values they promote, it is difficult to sympathize with them from the perspective of ordinary people who have not experienced much change in their actual lives.

For example, this is the case with independence. ‘I thought everyone would live well if we became independent. Prices are rising several times and life is becoming more difficult. ‘Does independence feed you?’ Etc. Similar dissatisfaction can also be found regarding democratization.

Even if such a thing does not happen, attempts to destroy the social system are likely to lead to madness and blind obedience. What a deep darkness the Vendée massacre left behind in the French Revolution.

However, as Siwoo was listening, he felt that she was paying too much attention.

‘You might think you’re just concerned about an accident, but…’

No matter how I looked at it, Sarah didn’t seem to be worried about the damage itself.

Looking at Sarah’s back with a strange heat radiating from it. Siwoo felt uneasy for some reason.

While the revolution was in full swing, the International was in a state of some degree of suture after internal strife.

Several of Narkis’ subordinates confessed that Narkis had worked as a spy in connection with the company and provided ‘results’ to the police. It was also revealed that the company originally provided the electricity that was said to be supplied by cutting off electric cables to go to the company.

The fact that the focal point that held the International together was such an ugly traitor left everyone with a great sense of betrayal and hurt.

What happened at the end was a people’s trial that bordered on mass hysteria.

Those who were originally divided into numerous factions and secretly kept each other in check, each harboring dark suspicions, ran wild, and people pointed fingers at each other and let out their pent-up emotions. The conflict spread into something close to a civil war.

This is why they were quiet while Sarah started the revolution. In the first place, there was no time to look elsewhere.

And that kind of thingThey are now nearing the end. Everyone felt that the wave of revolution that enveloped the outside world and that the middle of history, where their dreams were being fulfilled one by one, should not be spent in vain like this.

But that didn’t mean I could make a rash move. Because we saw how those who ignored Sarah’s warning and committed themselves to the revolution were eliminated.

So they desperately searched for a way to contact Sarah directly. They searched the building that was originally used as Sarah’s office, looked for the gang members who had now been abandoned by Sarah, and found a street where they could somehow reach a cord.

Of course, no trace of Sarah could be found. Sarah had already said goodbye to her past self, and Navita had erased all traces of her under Sarah’s orders.

However, it was known that Si-woo was the only person in contact with Sarah, and Si-woo’s contact information remained.

In such a situation, the action the revolutionary groups would take was obvious.

-So, we have also contributed to the revolution so far… I don’t know what Sarah did to do this, but the fact that we came this far is because of our strength, so how did Siwoo convince you…

“Ah yes. “I know what you mean, so I’ll just hang up.”

-No, listen. If it weren’t for us, Sarah wouldn’t be here now…

Pop.

“Ha…”

Siwoo coldly hung up the phone and sighed.

In fact, I could have chosen not to answer the phone as much as I wanted. Siwoo also had Navita, so all he had to do was rely on the power of SF.

Nevertheless, the reason Siwoo kept answering the phone was because he couldn’t ignore them.

‘These are people who have devoted their lives to the revolution, so they must be upset that they have to remain quiet at times like this. I don’t like the way you say it…’

There were several people leading the revolution in the group chat room, so I understood their feelings to some extent. Fantasy If you look at the people who said they would start a communist revolution among workers of different races, there were cases where they threw their lives and burned themselves to the extent that it would not be a waste to say that they really devoted themselves to the revolution.

On the other hand, I had seen so many people in Sarah’s organization who had already been swallowed up by despair, so I was glad to see someone willing to do something.

However, the problem is that you have to persuade Sarah yourself. That part was a challenge that more than offset all the parts mentioned above.

So, after worrying alone and consulting in the chat room, it took Siwoo half a day to find Sarah.

“Sarah.”

“Hmm? Siwoo. What’s the matter?”

When Si-woo entered Sara’s room, Sara turned her chair around with her legs crossed and looked at Si-woo.

As always, the back was full of screens monitoring the revolutionary scene.

Among them, not a single one was a member of the International.

“I received a call from International.”

Sarah ha. And she turned her head as if she was dumbfounded. He seemed to have figured out all the circumstances just by saying that he had been contacted.

Si-Woo was inwardly taken aback as it was not strange to hear an immediate rejection. Although he heard the story of what happened in the basement from the people of the International, he never thought that he would express such strong resistance just because he wanted to participate in the revolution.

Still, Sarah listened, tapping her heel as if she wanted to see.

“Okay. So what did they say?”

“They said they also want to participate in the revolution.”

＜Br＞ “Is that really all it is?”

“…”

Were there any other requirements? Siwoo tried to remember, but he couldn’t remember anything. He said it was a lot to regret, but they weren’t in a position to ask for more than that.

Sara, perhaps interpreting Siwoo’s silence differently, gave an expression of understanding.

“Okay. At least he must have shown off all sorts of arrogance. Even after getting to this point, I continue to be swallowed up by that narcissism. Because he wants to believe he did something. “They must have made a fuss just to get a good spoonful of it.”

“… “It was like that.”

“Okay. It’s not that I’m not trying to include them for no reason. “They are things that only get in the way of a perfect revolution.”

Sarah turned her chair as if she didn’t want to hear any more. Rather than engaging in petty arguments, I would much rather watch the revolution taking place one by one.

Seeing that, Si-woo thought he would just say he had done enough and go back.

Suddenly, Sarah’s last words caught my heart.

“But can you call it a complete revolution?”

“What?”

“Isn’t it a revolution that fights for the moral standards that vested interests arbitrarily set and for those who are excluded from society accordingly?”

“However?”

“If such a revolution were to be carried out by excluding someone from the beginning, wouldn’t it go against the original purpose of the revolution?”

Sarah opened her mouth blankly, as if she had been hit. As if she had never thought about it like that before.

“Didn’t you say that for a revolution to be perfect, not only the result but also the process must be flawless? Isn’t that why they are suppressing social chaos by force? Then shouldn’t there also be contradictions in the revolution?”

As Siwoo’s words became increasingly stronger with each sentence, Sarah shut his mouth and lowered his head. An intense internal conflict broke out in Sarah’s heart.

Si-woo, thinking that now was an opportunity, raised his voice even more.

“Of course, the public doesn’t know this. It will not be recorded in history either. But Sarah, even your memory can’t be deceived, right?”

“… “It’s because you don’t know.”

Sarah responded in a tightly suppressed voice. Si-woo was dumbfounded when he heard it because it sounded like ‘you don’t know’.

Although he is not using Navita as much as Sara, Siwoo also has Navita and is watching the world’s situation like the palm of his hand. So Siwoo thought there was nothing he didn’t know.

“What don’t you know? I also have a Navita. And isn’t this a matter of knowing and not knowing? This is just-“

“It’s because you don’t know!!!”

The shout that came from Sarah’s chest echoed throughout the space. A shout filled with such terrible resentment that Siwoo flinched and trembled for a moment.

Sarah stood up in an instant, faced Siwoo, and scolded him.

“You think they communicate because they speak the same language and pretend to talk, but there isn’t a single normal one among them. “It’s a disgrace to the revolution and an insult to the revolution that people like that are interfering with.”

“If any of them…”

“Doesn’t exist. Absolutely not. “You’re saying things like that because you don’t know about revolution.”

Sarah’s intense eyes pierced Siwoo like a laser. It was too burdensome to even face him, so Siwoo eventually looked away first.

The momentum was overturned. Sarah continued her onslaught.

＜BR＞ “Do you think all revolutionaries are noble and great people? Ha, not at all. Revolutionaries are crooked self-righteous people who go too far in thinking that society is wrong and they are right, they are psychopaths who fight for decades, thinking they can win even after turning an enemy they can never defeat, and yet they are paranoids who think they are doing well. I assure you, there are no normal people among revolutionaries. No one!”

Siwoo, overwhelmed by Sara’s spirit, was silent.

Sarah, who had been wheezing as if she had taken this as consent, spoke in a calm voice.

“Get out.”

“…”

“If that’s what you came here to talk about, I won’t change my mind. Got it? “I don’t want to talk more today.”

“… All right.”

Siwoo eventually left without any income.

There was no great regret. From the beginning, the approach was that if it works, it’s good or bad, and Siwoo didn’t care much whether the revolution was perfect or not.

However, from Sarah’s words and Sarah’s attitude, Siwoo felt great doubt.

A crooked self-righteous person. Psychopath. Paranoia.

What is really different about Sarah?

From Noble mtl dot com

Perhaps he is watching the process of a revolutionary revealing the dark side hidden within the banner of revolution.

*

Since then, Sarah and Siu have never fought.

Navita was in charge of most of the revolution, so Siwoo had nothing to say, and Sara was focused on her own revolution as usual.

But that didn’t make the worry in their hearts go away.

Sarah was wary of the possibility that Siwoo, who had authority over Navita, would not follow his wishes.

Siwoo was anxious about the possibility that Sarah, who would rule in the new order of the world, could degenerate into a dictator.

Therefore, the relationship between the two gradually cooled. Even though on the surface it was still just the two of them, there was already a layer of caution underlying it.

The two sharp-witted men could easily see through the atmosphere. However, they did not have the courage to lift the curtain, and their relationship was sluggish.

Meanwhile. One day Sarah spoke up first.

“Siwoo. “Should we talk in a quiet place after work today?”

“If it’s a quiet place…”

“Valley. Mountain. Beach. Anywhere. What we’re talking about here is… “I guess it’s a bit weird.”

Sarah smiled brightly as she looked at the screen filled with all around her. She seems to know how much she was absorbed in the revolution.

Siwoo was also looking for such an opportunity, so he nodded his head.

As a result, the two of them sat in a quiet valley with a lamp in between, stretched out camping chairs, and had a deep conversation while drinking.

Sarah looked back on her life. An unfortunate accident. The truth I realized. A lot of humiliation from the International. And I hoped Siwoo would sympathize with him and follow him.

Siwoo confessed his concerns. An uneasy sign. Sarah’s attitude. A synthesis of the testimony heard at the International. And what Sarah might become in the future.

At first, it seemed like they were communicating with each other. Be careful. Because I did not step on sensitive areas and spoke and listened carefully.

But the conversation gradually diverged. The level of remarks became more intense. Denial and questioning, suspicion and caution, dissonance. Everything is getting more and more messyLost.

Sarah had difficulty communicating, was distressed, and was frustrated. Like a being lost from the sky. Like a dictator who lived surrounded only by yes men.

And after all the arguing.

An eerie sound of metal was heard in Sarah’s hand.

“Okay. Siwoo. Also… “You must die for the revolution.”

Crash.

Dark night. The cold muzzle was aimed at Siwoo.
